Description
- This invention concerns a method and a device to free contacts in timers employing rotary disks. The invention is to be applied in electromechanical timers including a plurality of rotary disks the circumferential periphery of which is shaped in a programmed manner.
- When the disk is rotated, its circumferential periphery transmits variable nominal distances to arm elements or rocker levers which actuate control or power contacts.
- Timers of this kind are employed in washing machines, dishwashers, etc. to govern in a programmed and programmable manner all the functions of such apparatus.
- The invention concerns particularly the timers indicated above which include a lever between the rotary programmer disk and a movable contact (see Figs.2 and 3 for instance).
- The invention therefore does not concern the timers which comprise a rocker lever of the type shown in Fig.1, for instance, between the rotary programmer disk and the movable contact.
- In timers employing disks of the type mentioned above the rotation of the programmer disks defines two or more positions, normally two or three, of a movable contact.
- The contacts serve to transmit electrical control or power signals according to required logics so as to actuate specific functions in a desired way within desired times.
- If a movable contact can take up two positions, one of those positions will undoubtedly cooperate with a stationary contact, while the other position may cooperate with another contact or provide for a mere disconnection.
- If a movable contact can take up three positions, then the two outer positions normally cooperate with as many stationary contacts, while the middle position normally provides for disconnection.
- The movable contact normally consists of a shaft which at one end is always engaged with a source of signals, while its other end can take up the aforesaid positions.
- To eliminate the opacity created on the contacts by sparking, oxidization in general and dust, arrangements are made to provide the movable contact not only with a lateral traversing movement but also with a lengthwise traversing movement.
- This lengthwise traversing movement causes sliding of the movable contact on the stationary contact with which it is always engaged, and this sliding eliminates the opacity and improves electrical contact. The problem of adherence of the contacts to each other has for some time become important owing to the frequency of the cycles and to the electrical charge which designers apply more and more to each electrical circuit.
- Various solutions have been designed to eliminate this adherence and include the solution with a rocker contact (Fig.1) and the solutions with levers (Figs.2 and 3).
- The rocker solution provides a
rocker contact 120 acting between acommon contact 24 and first 25 and second 26 transit contacts. Therocker contact 120 is actuated by arotary programmer disk 23 by means of afeeler element 35 of arocker lever 321, which can oscillate about arotation pivot 22. Spring means 27 are included between therocker lever 321 androcker contact 120. If the rocker contact 120 adheres to thefirst transit contact 25, for instance, the rocker lever 321 rests, as shown in Fig.1, on therocker contact 120 and frees it with acontrast tooth 28. - This known embodiment, however, is not of the type with which the present invention is concerned.
- The known embodiments of the type with which the present invention is concerned are shown in Figs.2 and 3.
- In Fig.2 a
lever 121 with arotation pivot 22 andfeeler element 35 cooperates with arotary programmer disk 23. - Owing to the action of the
rotary programmer disk 23 on thelever 121 and of thelever 121 on a spring 27 amovable contact 20 is displaced with a lengthwise traversingmovement 30 and alateral traversing movement 29. - When the
movable contact 20 has to be detached from asecond transit contact 26, acontrast tooth 28 intervenes. - If the
movable contact 20 adheres with an element B to afirst transit contact 25 and thespring 27 yields owing to the movement according to thearrow 42 imparted to thelever 121 by therotary disk 23, acontrast rod 37 intervenes and detaches the element B from thefirst transit contact 25. - This embodiment is excellent in itself but entails the drawback that the
contrast rod 37 has to be well positioned geometrically in relation to thecontrast tooth 28. - The outcome is that when an element A of the
movable contact 20 comes in contact with asecond transit contact 26, the extra travel of thelever 121 in a resilient field is no longer available; this extra travel in a resilient field is required to eliminate sparking and improve electrical contact. - The action of the
spring 27 owing to its geometric position is such that it imparts to thelever 121/movable contact 20 under normal conditions alateral traversing movement 29 and a lengthwise traversingmovement 30. - To overcome the problems regarding the extra travel in a resilient field and therefore to ensure a proper electrical contact engagement, the embodiment of Fig.3 has been proposed.
- An L-
shaped lever 32 pivoted at 31 has been applied in the embodiment of Fig.3 and cooperates with aseating 36 included in themain lever 221. - If during its lifting phase the element B of the
movable contact 20 is found to have adhered to thefirst transit contact 25 and thespring 27 yields, then theseating 36 actuates asecond arm 34 of the L-shaped lever 32, and thesecond arm 34 causes the L-shaped lever 32 to rotate on itspivot 31. - The L-
shaped lever 32 exerts by means of its first arm 33 a mechanical action sufficient to break the adherence, and when the adherence of the element B to thefirst transit contact 25 has been broken, then the system works normally. - This system has been found satisfatory from the mechanical and electrical points of view but has entailed two sets of problems.
- A first set of problems is of a mechanical type, for the L-shaped arms of the
lever 32 may break in the event of repeated stresses in view of the small dimensions of the L-shaped lever itself 32. - A second set of problems is of an economical type and is linked to problems of procurement, storage, transport and installation of the L-shaped lever itself 32. These problems of an economical type affect the cost of a timer assembly by between a hundred and fiftieth and a sixtieth.
- Even though this economical effect seems small, it must be thought of in the light of the great numbers involved in the market of timer assemblies.
- The invention is set forth in the
main claims - The invention is disclosed better in the further attached figures, which are given as a non-restrictive example and in which:-
- Fig.4 shows a contact and a lever according to the invention in an inactive position;
- Fig.5 shows the embodiment of Fig.4, but in this case the movable contact is working on the second transit contact;
- Fig.6 shows a movable contact able to obtain the solution of Figs.4 and 5.
- According to the invention a
movable contact 20 is made to cooperate with a firstinclined surface 38 and a secondinclined surface 39 which are differently inclined at angles "α" and "β" respectively. - The first
inclined surface 38 is stationary and has an ascending slope with an angle of inclination "α" which is greater than the angle of inclination "β" of the secondinclined surface 39. This means that, given an equal movement of themovable contact 20 towards the firstinclined surface 38 and secondinclined surface 39 respectively, the firstinclined surface 38 induces in the movable contact 20 a greater lateral displacement than that induced in themovable contact 20 by the secondinclined surface 39. - The second
inclined surface 39 is machined on thelever 21. - The first
inclined surface 38 may be obtained by being moulded on a support of the contacts or may consist of an additional element or of an element to transfer electricity from one contact to another. - If everything works normally, when the
lever 21 is lifted by arotary programmer disk 23 acting on a feeler element 15, the firstinclined surface 38 cooperates with the movement of themovable contact 20, accentuates the lengthwise transversing movement of thatcontact 20 and frees it from its connection to the secondinclined surface 39 on thelever 21. - If instead the element B of the
movable contact 20 adheres to thefirst transit contact 25, thelever 21 overcomes the resilient resistance of thespring 27 and acts on themovable contact 20 by means of the secondinclined surface 39, which induces in the movable contact 20 a lengthwise traversing movement that breaks the adherence. - When the adherence is broken, the
movable contact 20 is thrust by thespring 27 in the direction of thearrow 29 and cooperates with the firstinclined surface 38. Themovable contact 20 comprises afirst abutment 40 able to cooperate with the firstinclined surface 38. - The
movable contact 20 comprises asecond abutment 41 too which is suitable to cooperate with the secondinclined surface 39. - The effect of the inclinations determined by the angles "α" and "β", whereby the angle "α" is greater than the angle "β", enables the device according to the invention to be obtained.
- It is possible for the first
inclined surface 38 not to be provided, for the adherence-release device can function just the same without it. - The inclusion of the first
inclined surface 38 is required where it is desired not to increase the value of the torque necessary to rotate thelever 21 when the latter 21 is working by means of extra travel in a resilient field. - Thus, where there is adherence between the element B of the
movable contact 20 and thefirst transit contact 25, by rotation of thelever 21 on itspivot 22 the secondinclined surface 39 displaces themovable contact 20 according to thearrow 30 and breaks the adherence. - As soon as the adherence of the element B to the
first transit contact 25 has been broken, thespring 27 is able to extend and moves themovable contact 20 in the directions of thearrows inclined surface 38. - As the angle of inclination "α" of the first
inclined surface 38 is greater than the angle of inclination "β" of the secondinclined surface 39, the firstinclined surface 38 displaces further in the direction of thearrow 30 themovable contact 20, which therefore does not come into contact with the secondinclined surface 39. - In the example shown the action of the two inclined surfaces 38-39 possesses the same sign and should be considered in relation to the rotation of the
lever 21 and in relation to the rotation of themovable contact 20 about thecommon contact 24. - When the
movable contact 20 has to be detached from thesecond transit contact 26, acontrast tooth 28 intervenes even if there is adherence, and the firstinclined surface 38 restores the position of themovable contact 20 in cooperation with the action of thespring 27. - The spirit of the invention includes a variation of the three-dimensional positions of the inclined surfaces 38- 39 while keeping the working effect in full.
