Abstract

902,486. Control of D.C. motors. LICENTIA PATENT - VERWALTUNGS - G.m.b.H. April 22, 1959 [April 25, 1958], No. 13697/59. Class 38 (3). [Also in Groups XXXV and XL (c)] A transistor motor-control circuit comprises means responsive to the transistor current when it exceeds the maximum permissible value to control the input control voltage so as to interrupt the transistor current. The Figure shows a motor 1 and inductor 2 connected in circuit with batteries 5, 6 of opposite polarity and transistors 3 and 4 which are rendered alternately conducting by signals applied to the base electrodes. By varying the on-off ratio of the transistors the mean value of the current applied to the motor can be varied. When the " on " period is relatively long the motor current would build up in accordance with the dotted curve 23 (Fig. 3), to a value above the maximum permissible level 24. To prevent this resistors 10 and 11 are connected in series with the transistors and the voltage across them is applied to bistable circuits 12, 13 which when the resistor voltage exceeds that corresponding to the maximum current, opens the base circuit of the associated transistor. The current then falls from the maximum as indicated by curve 14 until the circuits 12, 13 restores to the original condition so that the mean output current remains at a varying value just below the maximum permissible value. When the motor is being braked it may cause reverse current to flow to the power supply and where rectifiers are used this could damage the power supply system. Accordingly, a supply as shown in Fig. 5, could be used. When reverse current flows the smoothing condenser is charged to a greater value than normal and this value is sufficient when applied through resistor 21 to operate a switching circuit 22 which renders transistor 19 conductive to discharge the capacitor until the voltage is such that tne switching circuit 22 restores to its original condition and cuts transistor 19 off again. It is stated in the Specification that the push-pull circuit arrangement shown in Fig. 1 could be replaced by a transistor bridge circuit.
