ABSTRACT:
A digital signal output device including a revolving shaft, a transparent gear wheel fixedly mounted around the revolving shaft and turned by it, the transparent gear wheel having a plurality of teeth alternatively spaced by gaps around the periphery and an annular sloping wall at one side around the center, and a plurality of photoelectric inductors spaced from the periphery of the transparent gear wheel and arranged in parallel, wherein when the transparent gear wheel is turned by the revolving shaft, the light of the light source is projected onto the sloping wall of the transparent gear wheel and reflected radially through the teeth and/or gaps of the transparent gear wheel onto the photoelectric inductors, causing the photoelectric inductors to be or not to be triggered, and therefore the amplification circuit which is connected to the output ends of the photoelectric inductors is driven to provide a digital output signal corresponding to the revolving direction and amount of movement of the revolving shaft.
