To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT It. DUNLOP, a citizen of the United States,residing at CO- lumbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Electric Brakes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the acco-mpanymg drawing. i
This invention relates to improvements in electro-magnetically operated brakes for conveyer or elevator systems adapted to prevent t-he too rapid descent of an elevator or conveyor under the action of gravlty.
Figure 1 is a planV view of the upper part of said system. Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic view showing the electro-magnetic brake, the motor, and the electrical circuit. Fig. 3ds a plan view of the Contact lever of the starting box. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof. Fig. 5 is a detail view of the-over`- load circuit-breaker 35. 'd
1 represents a tipple adapted to deliver material to an elongated endless carrier or conveyor 2, which is inclined to the horizontal and is adapted to retard the'descent under gravity of the material received.
3' is a trough in which the said conveyer f operates.
'LL represents a shuntwound motor having an armature 5, the .brushes 6 and 7 and` the shunt motor field S. The armature has secured to it a pinion 9v which meshes with a gear 10 secured to the head or driving shaft 11 at the upper end of the conveyer.
' .12 is a friction brake associated with the motor shaft. type. prising the casing 18 which isrigidly secured in position,.the friction disks`14, arranged on the motor shaft and secured so as to revolve therewith but adapted 'to slide longitudinally thereon, the friction disks 15 arranged between the disks 14 and splined to the casing 13 so as to be -free to lmove lon- I {itudinally of the motor shaft but held from rotation therewith, the follower 16, the plate or head 17, and the springs- 18 arranged between said ollower and said plate and adapted to normally hold the friction disks in engagement with each other so as to pre-` vent the rotation of the motor shaft.
12 1sA an electro-magnet having the core ll2al fitted on to the motor shaft and havlng .movable element thereof. -electromagnetically operated it having a tu- It may be of any well known.v In the drawings I have shown it com-V one'ot1 its ends secured vto the follower 16. 12b 1s the energizing coil of the said electro magnet. This electro-magnet 12 is designed for sufficient strength to draw the 'follower 16-aga1nst the action of the springs 18 so as to leave the elements of the clutch 12 free to rotate relative to each other. `19 is another friction brake likewise arranged upon the motor shaft, and adapted to control the rotation thereoflf 2O indicates the stationary element of this brake and 21 the The latter is bular extension 21 which serves as the core of .the felectro magnet-22, the coil 22 of which is arranged within the stationary element 20 of the brake. A suitable spring .19a maybe interposed between the end of core 21 and the brake element 20, said spring tending normally to press the movable element `21 awayfrom the stationary element. This electro-magnet is designed for sufficient strength to draw the movable element 21o'f vthe brake 19 int-o engagement withthe sta-V tionary one 20 thereof. Tlie brake 19 is `not thrown into operation until the speed of rotation cf the motor exceeds a certain predetermined rate and as soon as it does exceedthis rate,'the electro-magnet 22 is su-iiciently energized by the current from the motor operating as a generator to cause the engage#4 ment of thebrake elements in such manner as to limit the speed of the motor shaft.
24 indicates a source of electrical supply, 24 and .24a the positive and negative conductors, respectively, therefrom. 25 is a lsingle-throw, double- pole switch'wi'th terminals 25 and 25a connected to said conductors 24 and 21a respectively. '26 is a starting box 'having the Operating lever 26. 27 is a conductor leading from said lever to the brush 6 of the`motor.
28 is a conductor leading from the terminal of the resistance in the starting box to theapole 25b of the switch.
28 is a conductor leading from the brush 7 to the pole 25 of the said switch.
The field 8 of the motor has itstermi'nals connected to the conductors 27 and 28" respectivel'v.-
29 indicates a series of resistance-contro1-- ling contacts on the starting box with which the lever 26 is adapted to engage. :'30is a contact on said box having its'end `31 'ex 55 said generator.
60 the brake 12 out of operation.
tending so that contact 31 on the lever 26 will engage with it prior to its engagement with the iirst contact of the series 29. This contact 31 is insulated from the said lever.
5 32 is a conductor connecting the said segment 30 with the conductor 28.
33 is a conductor connecting the Contact 31 on the lever'26 with one terminal of the energizing coil 12b of the electro-magnet 12. 33 is a conductor connecting the other terminal of said coil with one terminal of the energizing coil 22 of the electro- magnet 22, and 34 is a conductor connecting the other terminal of said, coil with the conduc- 15 tor 28 so tha-t this coil is connected directly f across the line when the motor is in operation either as a motoror as a genera-tor.
35 is an overload circuit-breaker arranged in the line of the conductor 34, and 36 is ar adjustable shunt arranged across the terminals of the electro-magnet 22.
It will be seen that when the conve er 2 is stationary and no current tlowin t rough the energizing coils 12b and 22 o the elec- ,tro- magnet 12 and 22, respectively, that the friction brake 12 will be set so as to prevent the rotation of the motor shaft. ln order to start the conveyer, the circuit-breaker is' closed and also the switch 25 and then the 80 current switching lever 26 of the starting box 26 is swung until Contact 31 engages the end 31 of the contact 30. Current will then pass through the energizing coils 12b and 22 of the electro-magnets l12 and 22,
35 respectively, the former, drawing the follower 16 so as to release the Jfriction between the friction disks of the brake 12 and the latter drawing the movable element 21 of the brake 19 toward the stationary element 20 thereof. This will enable the motor to 48 circuit to the motor.
Asfsoon as the momentum of the retarding conveyer reaches a certain point, in order to prevent the too rapid descent of the conveyer, the source of supply from the gen- 50 erator to the motor is cut out and the motor` operated as a generator,` the fact that it is shunt-wound insuring that its field will be excited in the same direction as it was excited when supplied with current from the The energizing coils 12 and 22 ofthe'said electro- magnets 12 and 22 being in parallel with field S will be energized by the current generated by the motor so as to operate the brake 19 and hold Should the speed of the armature shaft exceed a predetermined rate owing to the too rapid descent of the conveyer elemeiits, the" increased electro-motive force generated by ,the consequent increase of speed of rotation of the armature will cause the engagement ofthe brake elements 20 and 21, and if the frictional resistance so occasioned is not suiiicient to keep down the speed of rotation of the armature shaft, the electro-motive force generated will cause the overload circuitbreaker 35 to open, breaking the circuit to the electro-magnet and permitting the friction brake 12 to operate and stop the rotation of the motor shaft.
`While it is contemplated that the current supply will be cut off when the machine has attained a certain speed, as stated above, it should be observed that the brake mechanism will operate in lsubstantially the same manner if the current supply is not out oli'. Assuming the mechanism operating with the switch 25 closed, whenthe dynamo-electric machine attains a certain speed its electro-motive force counter to 4that of the current source will become the greater of the two and it will then supply current to energize the electro-magnets in the same manner as if the switch were open. In other wor s, the dynamo-electric machine acts'to aplly the brake 19 both when connected to the current source to run as a motor and when disconnected therefrom.
The adjustableishunt 36 may be adjusted to vary the amount of current received by the energizing coil 22 of the electro-magnet 22 and thus regulate and control the operation of the brake 19.
