My invention relates to temperature-indicating and control devices and particularly to magnetic pyrometers.
An object of my invention is to provide a temperature-indicating and. control device that shall be responsive to changes in the mag netic properties of a core associated therewith in response to changes in temperature thereof.
Another object of my invention is to provide a temperature-indicating and control device that shall be effective to produce large indicationsfor small changes in temperature.
In practicing my invention, I provide a magnetic core member and a coils wound thereon in inductive relation to each other. The coils and core member may be considered as a transformer. One of the coils is energized from a source of alternating current. 'I provide also a temperature-indicating and control instrument which is-provided with voltage and current coils so connected to the coils of the transformer that the instrument will indicate the temperature of a body and be adapted to control a circuitinterrupting device in accordance with the temperature of the body. The core member which I employ may be made of a plurality of parts, each of which has a difierent recalescent point.
In the single sheet of drawings, Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view of the device embodying my invention; and
Fig. 2 is a view illustratlng the devlce shown in Fig. 121s applied to a control c1rcu1t for controlling an electric furnace.
In Fig. 1, a temperature-indicating and control device 11 comprises a transformer 12 and an indicating and control instrument 13. The transformer 12 comprises a core member 14 and a pair of coils 15 and 16 wound thereon. The temperature-indicating and control instrument 13 is provided with a pair of relatively movable coils 17 and 18 (see Fig. 2), a movable indicator and contact member 19, and a scale 20 calibrated in degrees of temperature. The coils 17 and 18 are so connected tothe coils 15 and 16 as to cause a deflection thereof when energized from a source 21 ofalternating current. A switch plurality of energy generated in the coils 16. As the member 22 is employed for controlling the temperature-indicating and control devlce 11. I a
Fig 2 of the drawings illustrates the apphcatlon of my temperature-indicating and control device 11 to the temperature control of an electric furnace 23. The furnace 23 is provided with resistor members 24 which are energized from an electrical-energy source 25. A control device 26 comprises a circuit interrupter 27 and an actuating mechanism 28, the latter comprising a coil member 29, a core member 30 actuated thereby, a pair of links 31 and 32, and a restraining sprlng 33. The coil member 29 is controlled by the instrument 13 and is energized upon the enagement of a contact member 34, insulatedy mounted on the member 19, with a stationar contact member 35.
In the particular application of the device 11, as illustrated in Flg. 2, the transformer 12 is provided with a protecting cover member 36 which encloses the core member 14 and the coils 15 and 16. The core member 14, illustrated in Fig. 2, comprises a plurality of portions 37, 38 and 39. The portions 37, 38 and 39 are of magnetic material but have different recalesce'nt points at which the respective portions become non-magnetic.
The operation of the device illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 is dependent upon the magnetic properties of the core member 14. Since the coil 15.is energized from a source of alternating current, the coil 16 will have a. voltage induced therein which will be dependent upon the number of turns in the two coils and, the magnetic density in the core 14. As the temperature of the core member 14 increases, the magnetic density thereof will decrease, and the induced voltage of the coil 16 will also decrease.
Since the instrument 13 is provided with a restraining spring 41, the coils 17 and 18 will deflect in accordance with the decrease of the temperature increases, in the core member 14 will decrease until the movable member 19 has caused the contact members 34 and 35 to engage each other to energize the coil 29.
