Abstract
1510034 Proximity detectors COMPUTER IDENTICS CORP 22 July 1976 30636/76 Heading GIN [ Also in Division B7] In a rail vehicle wheel detector, the core 16 of a sensing coil 18 disposed adjacent rail 20 is saturated by the field from magnet 12 except when a wheel diverts some of the magnet field and the change in permeability of the core as it changes from saturated to unsaturated state and vice versa and hence the change in coil inductance is detected as a change in frequency of an oscillator circuit 60 of which the coil forms a part. The output from oscillator 60 is counted in counter 66 for successive periods determined by a second counter 74 fed with fixed frequency pulses from reference oscillator 72. Counter 74 via flipflop 76 gates counter 66 on at count T0 and off at T7. The counter 66 provides an output pulse at count 80 and when the core is saturated its permeability is low and the resulting low coil inductance produces an output signal of sufficiently high frequency for the counter to count up to 80 during its gated-on period. This signal at count T8 from counter 74 sets or resets flip-flop 112 to provide a no-wheel signal 119. At count T9 the system is reset for the next count starting at count T0. With a wheel present the core is unsaturated, its permeability rises and the increase in inductance lowers the operating frequency of the oscillator so that count 80 is not reached in the set period and flip-flop 114 is changed over to provide a wheel present indication. To prevent dither when the wheel is moving into and out of the zone of ingluence of the detector, a suppression circuit Fig. 7 (not shown) can be provided to ensure that the wheel present signal is given when the count drops below 80 and is not changed over to wheel absent until the count rises to 90. Two wheel detectors can be provided in succession along the track, Fig. 9 (not shown) and these can be connected to a circuit which additionally provides an indication of the direction of wheel movement.
