Abstract
1,272,038. Measuring position. PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd. 21 Oct., 1970 [24 Oct., 1969], No. 50021/70. Heading G4H. In an angle position encoder as described in U.S. Specification 3,278,928, four divided discs are provided in two pairs. One of the two pairs of discs has n divisions and the other n + 1 divisions. Two of the discs, one from each pair are mounted one on each side of a single plate which is driven by a motor. One of the remaining discs is stationary and the other rotates through the angle to be measured. The discs are linked either capacitatively or inductively so that each pair produces a pulse train of n or n+1 pulses per revolution, together with a reference mark at a particular position in the revolution. A course measurement is made by counting the pulses between the reference marks for the two pairs, and a fine measurement is produced by counting the pulses between a reference mark and coincidence of the two pulse trains, i.e. vernier principle. The present invention resides in interpolating between the fine measurements. The two pulse trains i 1 , i 2 are fed to a bi-stable 1 which enables gate 2 on receipt of a pulse on the i 1 line. This permits counter 3 to start counting pulses from an oscillator 4 synchronized with a motor driving the disc. The counter has a capacity corresponding to the number of pulses produced by oscillator 4 in the maximum time interval between pulses on leads i 1 and i 2 when pulses on these lines are judged coincident, i.e. the maximum capacity of counter 3 corresponds to a fine interval. If the pulse trains are not at the coincident position counter 3 overflows and no measurement is recorded. When the pulse trains are at the coincident position the time interval and hence the position between coincident pulses is measured by the counts of counter 3, which are then transferred to a store 7. AND gate 6 is then enabled to indicate the end of a measuring cycle.
