Abstract

1. Bistable electromagnetic display devices having each a rotable armature with a built-in polarising magnet (5), whereby the display surface of each armature is formed by the one or the other lateral surface (6, 7) of a three-cornered prism rotable around the longitudinal axis (Y), the polarising magnet (5) is attached within the prism in the area of the longitudinal axis (Y) and the control of the armature from one position to the other position is performed by an electromagnet, characterized in that the horse-shoe shaped polarising magnet (5) embracing a shaft (4) positioned in the longitudinal axis (Y) is formed such, that either one pole (N) or the other pole (S) is located close by near at hand of the end of the pin formed core (2) of the electromagnet projecting into the three cornered prism.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft bistabile elektromagnetische Schauzeichen mit je einem in einen drehbaren Anker eingebauten Polarisationsmagneten.The invention relates to bistable electromagnetic indicators, each with a polarization magnet built into a rotatable armature.

Derartige Schauzeichen sind beispielsweise aus der DE-PS 1 935 888 bekannt. Sie eignen sich besonders für den Aufbau ganzer Anzeigeblöcke, durch die alphanumerische Zeichen wiedergegeben werden sollen. Durch ihre bistabile Arbeitsweise brauchen sie im jeweiligen Anzeigezustand nicht mit Strom versorgt werden, da auch die Rückstellung durch Rückstellimpulse erfolgt. In einem Anzeigeblock legt jedes Schauzeichen, die zweckmäßig matrixartig angeordnet sind, einen bestimmten Bildpunkt fest und die Auswahl dieser Bildpunkte innerhalb der Anzeigefläche eines solchen Anzeigeblockes bestimmt den Charakter des jeweils dargestellten Zeichens.Such indicators are known for example from DE-PS 1 935 888. They are particularly suitable for the construction of entire display blocks by which alphanumeric characters are to be displayed. Due to their bistable mode of operation, they do not need to be supplied with current in the respective display state, since the reset is also carried out by reset pulses. In a display block, each indicator, which is expediently arranged in a matrix, defines a specific pixel, and the selection of these pixels within the display area of such a display block determines the character of the character shown in each case.

Nachteilig bei derartigen Schauzeichen ist aber, daß durch das Umschlagen der Klappe ein verhältnismäßig großer Raum beansprucht wird. Außerdem ist der in die plättchenartige Anzeigefläche eingebaute Polarisationsmagnet sehr weit vom Kern des die Anzeigefläche steuernden Elektromagneten entfernt, so daß verhältnismäßig starke Einstell- und Rückstellimpulse notwendig sind. Der oftmals gewünschten Kleinheit derartiger Anzeigeblöcke, die mit solchen Schauzeichen ausgestattet sind, steht der konstruktive Aufbau der bekannten Schauzeichen mit einem bistabilen Verhalten entgegen.A disadvantage of such indicators is, however, that a relatively large space is occupied by the flap being flipped over. In addition, the built-in polarization magnet in the plate-like display surface is very far from the core of the electromagnet controlling the display surface, so that relatively strong setting and reset pulses are necessary. The often desired smallness of such display blocks, which are equipped with such indicators, is opposed by the constructive structure of the known indicators with bistable behavior.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, bistabile elektromagnetische Schauzeichen mit einem in einen drehbaren Anker eingebauten Polarisationsmagneten zu schaffen, die sehr klein ausgeführt werden können und die sich in einfacher Weise zu einem geschlossenen Anzeigeblock zusammensetzen lassen.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing bistable electromagnetic indicators with a polarization magnet built into a rotatable armature, which can be made very small and which can be assembled in a simple manner to form a closed display block.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Anzeigefläche jedes Ankers entweder von der einen oder von der anderen Seitenfläche eines um die Längsachse drehbaren Drei- kantprismas gebildet wird und daß die beiden Pole eines diese Achse umgreifenden Polarisationsmagneten im Innern des Prismas jeweils im Bereich einer der beiden Seitenflächen des betreffenden Prismas liegen. Die Polarisationsmagnete sind zweckmäßig hufeisenförmig ausgebildet, wobei die Scheitelpunkte der einzelnen Magnete jeweils auf der Winkelhalbierenden des von den zugeordneten Seitenflächen des Drei-Kantprismas gebildeten -Winkels liegen: Ein einfacher Zusammenbau mehrerer derartiger Schauzeichen in einen Anzeigeblock, und zwar in einer raumsparenden Weise, ergibt sich dadurch, daß mehrere derartiger prismenförmiger Anker auf einer gemeinsamen Achse angeordnet sind. Zur Darstellung alphanumerischer Zeichen werden zweckmäßig mehrere Reihen von solchen auf einer gemeinsamen Achse angeordneten Ankern mit Hilfe eines rasterförmig aufgebauten Halterahmens matrixartig zusammengefaßt. Die Bodenplatte eines solchen Halterahmens ist dann mit matrixartig verteilten Führungslöchern für den Durchtritt der jeweils einer Achse zugeordneten stiftförmigen Weicheisenkerne der einzelnen Elektromagnete versehen. Diese ihrerseits sind mit den Stromzuführungen in matrixartig verteilte Bohrungen eines Isolierblockes eingelegt, der durch den die Anker tragenden Rahmen abgeschlossen wird.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the display surface of each armature is formed either by one or the other side surface of a triangular prism which can be rotated about the longitudinal axis, and in that the two poles of a polarization magnet encompassing this axis in the interior of the prism each in the region of one of the lie on both side surfaces of the prism in question. The polarization magnets are expediently horseshoe-shaped, the vertices of the individual magnets each lying on the bisector of the angle formed by the associated side faces of the triangular prism: a simple assembly of several such indicators in a display block results in a space-saving manner in that several such prismatic anchors are arranged on a common axis. To display alphanumeric characters, several rows of such anchors arranged on a common axis are expediently combined in the form of a matrix with the aid of a grid-shaped holding frame. The base plate of such a holding frame is then provided with guide holes distributed in a matrix-like manner for the passage of the pin-shaped soft iron cores of the individual electromagnets, each of which is assigned to an axis. These, in turn, are inserted with the current leads into bores of an insulating block distributed in a matrix-like manner, which are closed off by the frame carrying the armatures.

In der Zeichnung sind die konstruktiven Einzelheiten und der Aufbau eines ganzen Anzeigeblockes dargestellt.The design details and the structure of an entire display block are shown in the drawing.

In Fig. 1 und 2 ist die in eine Setzspule und eine Löschspule aufgeteilte Wicklung 1 eines Elektromagneten in eine entsprechende Bohrung eines Halteblockes 8 eingelegt, die ihrerseits nur angedeutet ist. Der weichmagnetische Kern 2 des Elektromagneten ist durch eine entsprechende Bohrung eines Halterahmens 3 geführt, der durch einen kragenförmigen Ansatz 9 gleichzeitig als Anschlag für die Seitenfläche 6 und 7 eines Dreikantprismas dient, das um die Achse 4 drehbar ist. In dieses Prisma eingebaut ist ein Polarisationsmagnet 5, der bei einer Änderung der Polarisationsrichtung des Elektromagneten 1/2 ebenfalls seine Stellung ändert und einen Wechsel zwischen den Anzeigeflächen 6 bzw. 7 vornimmt. Da die beiden Pole des hufeisenförmig ausgebildeten Polarisationsmagneten 5 in enger Nachbarschaft zum Ende des Kernes 2 liegen, kann eine Umsteuerung des Schauzeichens durch verhältnismäßig schwache Einstell- bzw. Löschimpulse vorgenommen werden.1 and 2, the winding 1 of an electromagnet, which is divided into a setting coil and a quenching coil, is inserted into a corresponding bore in a holding block 8, which in turn is only indicated. The soft magnetic core 2 of the electromagnet is guided through a corresponding bore of a holding frame 3, which at the same time serves as a stop for the side surface 6 and 7 of a triangular prism which can be rotated about the axis 4 by a collar-shaped extension 9. A polarization magnet 5 is installed in this prism, which also changes its position when the direction of polarization of the electromagnet 1/2 changes and changes between the display surfaces 6 and 7, respectively. Since the two poles of the horseshoe-shaped polarization magnet 5 are in close proximity to the end of the core 2, the indicator can be reversed by relatively weak setting or erasing pulses.

In Fig. 3 sind die einzelnen Anzeigeorganz von vier Schauzeichen, die einen Teil eines ganzen Anzeigeblockes bilden, schematisch wiedergegeben. Es handelt sich dabei um die Drehanker 31, 32, 33 und 34, die zeilenweise um eine gemeinsame Achse schwenkbar sind. Die Verschwenkung erfolgt unter der Einwirkung der zugeordneten Elektromagneten mit ihren Kernen 35, 36, 37 und 38 und den Spulen 39 bis 42. Jede dieser Spulen setzt sich aus einer Setz- und einer Löschspule zusammen, wobei die aus Fig. 3 ersichtlichen kammartigen Schienen, die aus Fig. 6 ersichtlichen Strompfade wiedergeben.In Fig. 3, the individual display organs of four indicators, which form part of an entire display block, are shown schematically. These are the rotary anchors 31, 32, 33 and 34, which can be pivoted line by line about a common axis. The pivoting takes place under the on Effect of the associated electromagnets with their cores 35, 36, 37 and 38 and the coils 39 to 42. Each of these coils is composed of a setting and an erasing coil, the comb-like rails shown in FIG. 3, which from FIG. 6 Play apparent current paths.

Wie nämlich Fig. 6 zeigt, sind die einzelnen Setz- und Löschspulen der verschiedenen Schauzeichen zeilen- und spaltenweise zusammengefaßt, wobei in die getrennt geführten Zeilenleitungen jeweils eine Entkopplungsdiode D1 bzw. D2 eingefügt ist. Die Bestimmung, welche der Spulen zu erregen bzw. rückzustellen ist, um einen bestimmten Bildpunkt zu aktivieren bzw. wieder zu löschen, erfolgt durch Auswahl der Eingangsklemmen YS1 bis YL7 bzw. den Spaltenpunkten X1 bis X5.As shown in FIG. 6, the individual setting and canceling coils of the various indicators are combined in rows and columns, a decoupling diode D1 and D2 being inserted in each of the separately arranged row lines. The determination of which of the coils is to be excited or reset in order to activate or delete a specific pixel is made by selecting the input terminals YS1 to YL7 or the column points X1 to X5.

In Fig. 3 erfolgt über die Verbindungsschienen 51, 52 und 53 die Spaltenauswahl, während über die Verbindungsschienen 54, 56 usw. die Zeilenauswahl stattfindet. Dabei sind jeder Zeile zwei Schienen 54 und 56 zugeordnet, da über die eine die Aktivierung der Setzspulen dieser Zeile und über die andern die Aktivierung der Löschspulen dieser Zeile erfolgt, In jeder der Zuleitungen ist dabei eine der bereits in Fig. 6 erwähnten Dioden D1 und D2 eingebaut.In FIG. 3, the column selection takes place via the connecting rails 51, 52 and 53, while the row selection takes place via the connecting rails 54, 56 etc. Each line is assigned two rails 54 and 56, since one activates the setting coils of this line and the other activates the quenching coils of this line. In each of the supply lines there is one of the diodes D1 and D2 installed.

Wie die Fig. 4 und 5 zeigen, sind die einzelnen Magnetspulen 40, 41 ff in matrixartig verteilten Bohrungen 60 usw. eines Isolierblockes 8 eingelegt, der außer mit den Bohrungen 60 auch mit Bohrungen 70, 71 und 72 versehen ist, durch die die stiftchenförmigen Ansätze der Verbindungsschienen, und zwar sowohl in der Zeilen- als auch in der Spaltenrichtung geführt werden. Jeder Bohrung 60 ff sind dabei drei solcher Bohrungen zur Aufnahme der Spulenanschlüsse zugeordnet.4 and 5 show, the individual magnetic coils 40, 41 ff are inserted in matrix-like bores 60, etc. of an insulating block 8 which, in addition to the bores 60, is also provided with bores 70, 71 and 72 through which the pin-shaped Approaches of the connecting rails, both in the row and in the column direction. Each bore 60 ff is assigned three such bores for receiving the coil connections.

Die die Bohrungen im Halteblock 8 durchdringenden Kerne der einzelnen Magnete werden, wie auch aus den Fig. 1 und 2 ersichtlich, durch entsprechende Bohrungen eines Halterahmens 3 geführt, der seinerseits Achsen 4 mit den entsprechenden Anzeigeelementen 32, 33 und 34 trägt. Diese gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 ausgestalteten Anzeigeelemente mit ihrem jeweiligen U-förmigen Polarisationsmagneten stellen die eigentliche Anzeigefläche des ganzen Anzeigeblockes dar, wie er im Schema aus Fig. 6 ersichtlich ist. Die Halterung der Achsen erfolgt mit Hilfe eines Halterahmens 54. Bei Störungen in der Arbeitsweise der einzelnen drehbaren Anker braucht also lediglich der Halterahmen 3 abgenommen werden, ohne daß dadurch an den sonstigen Bauelementen des Anzeigeblockes Veränderungen vorzunehmen sind. Die Anschlüsse der Verbindungsschienen 51 bis 53 ff bzw. 54/56 ff werden zweckmäßig als Steckerstife ausgebildet, so daß auch die Verkabelung sehr einfach gehalten werden kann. Besondere Verteilerleisten und dergleichen sind nicht notwendig.The cores of the individual magnets penetrating the bores in the holding block 8 are, as can also be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, passed through corresponding bores in a holding frame 3 which in turn bears axes 4 with the corresponding display elements 32, 33 and 34. These designed according to FIGS. 1 and 2 display elements with their respective U-shaped polarization magnets represent the real thing display area of the entire display block, as can be seen in the diagram of FIG. 6. The axes are held with the aid of a holding frame 54. In the event of malfunctions in the functioning of the individual rotatable anchors, therefore, only the holding frame 3 needs to be removed without making any changes to the other components of the display block. The connections of the connecting rails 51 to 53 ff and 54/56 ff are expediently designed as plug pins, so that the wiring can also be kept very simple. Special distribution strips and the like are not necessary.
