9 Claims.
My invention relates to electric discharge ap- V paratus, and it has particular relation to control apparatus incorporating electric discharge devices.
It is an object of my invention to provide a system that shall be actuable by a physical disturbance of relatively short duration to produce a response of relatively long duration.
Another object of my invention is to provide a system that shall be actuable by a physical disturbance to produce a response persisting for a predetermined interval of time substantially independent of the time during which the disturbance persists.
A further object of my invention is to provide an electronic timing relay that shall be actuable either by a short impulse or by a disturbance persisting for a relatively long interval of time.
A more specific object of my invention is to provide a system that shall be actuable when under the influence of radiant energy to produce a response persisting for a predetermined interval of time.
According to my invention, I provide a system incorporating an electric discharge device having a control electrode and a plurality of principal electrodes. Normally, the control electrode is maintained at a potential relative to the principal electrodes such that the conductivity of the discharge device is relatively small. In the control circuit of the discharge device an element responsive to a physical disturbance-for example a photo-sensitive device,is provided. When the disturbance occurs, the conductivity of the discharge device is increased. In addition, I provide a capacitor which is connected in the control circuit of the discharge device when its conductivity is increased and gradually charged in such manner that after a predetermined interval of time the conductivity of the discharge device is again decreased. The current charging the capacitor produces a potential drop tending to maintain the higher conductivity of the discharge device, so that even if the physical disturbance persists for only a relatively short interval of time the conductivity of the discharge device remains at its increased value for the interval of time predetermined by the charging of the capacitor.
The novel features that I consider characteristic of my invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention itself. however, both as to its organization and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will best be understood from the following description of a specific embodiment when read in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which the single figure is a diagrammatic view showing an embodiment of my invention.
The apparatus shown in the drawing comprises a discharge device I having an anode 3, a hot cathode and a control electrode 1 and preferably, though not necessarily, a gaseous medium. Anode-cathode potential is provided for the discharge device I from a suitable alternating source 9 through a secondary section ll of a supply transformer l3. One terminal l5 of the secondary section II is connected to the anode 3 through the exciting coil ll of a relay l9 that is to be actuated by the discharge device and the other terminal 2| is directly connected to the cathode 5. When the discharge device I is nonconductive, the relay i9 is deenergized and its upper moveable contactor 23 is maintained disengaged from a plurality of fixed contacts 25 to which the conductors 21 of an operating circuit, such as a burglar alarm system, for example, are connected. When the discharge device i is rendered conductive, the relay i9 is energized and the operating conductors 21 are connected.
Normally, the discharge device i is maintained deenergized by a suitable biasing potential. The potential is derived from the alternating source 9 through another secondary section 29 of the transformer l3, a rectifier 3i and a voltage divider 33. The movable tap 35 of the voltage divider 33 is connected directly to the cathode 5 of the discharge device i and its negative terminal 31 is connected to the control electrode 1 through a suitable resistor 39. Thus, a negative biasing potential is impressed between the control electrode 1 and the cathode 5.
It is to be noted that while my invention is herein shown as applied to a discharge device in which a negative potential must be impressed between the control electrode and the cathode to maintain it in a substantially non-conductive condition, it is equally as well applicable to a system incorporating a discharge device which is maintained non-conductive when zero potential is impressed-between the control electrode and the cathode or by a positive potential impressed between the control electrode and the cathode. If a discharge device of this type is utilized, the proper connections may, of course, be made at the voltage divider 33.
Tcgcontrolthe conductivity of the discharge device, a photo-sensitive device II is provided. The cathode 43 of the photo-sensitive device is connected directly to the control electrode I and its anode 45 is connected to the positive terminal 41 of the voltage divider 33. To time the operation of the apparatus, a capacitor 49 cooperates with the resistor 39. One plate 5| of the capacitor is connected to the positive terminal 41 of the voltage divider 33.
When the photo-sensitive device H is deenergized or the radiant energy impinging thereon is relatively small, the negative potential impressed from the voltage divider 33 between the control electrode I and the cathode 5 predominates and the discharge device I is non-conductive. With the discharge device in this condition, the capacitor 49 is short circuited by a pair of conductors 53 and 55 connected to its plates it and 5'! and interconnected with each other by the lower moveable contactor 59 of the relay I9.
When snfiicient radiant energy impinges on the cathode 43 of the photo-sensitive device 4I even for a short interval of time relative to the periodicity of the source 9, an instantaneous current flows in a circuit extending from the positive terminal 41 of the voltage divider 33 through a conductor 6|, a conductor 63, the photo-sensitive device M, a conductor 65, the resistor 39 and a conductor 61 to the negative terminal 31 of the voltage divider. The potential drop across the resistor 39 produced by the current fiow through the photo-sensitive device 4| increases the potential of the control electrode relative to the cathode, thus rendering the discharge device I conductive for at least the interval of time that the photo-sensitive device M is subjected to radiant energy. If the discharge device I is of the gaseous type, it will. in general, be energized for a substantial portion of a half period of the source 9 and the relay I9 even if it is of ordinary structure will be actuated. If the discharge device I is of the high vacuum type, it will remain energized only as long as the photo-sensitive device is subjected to radiant energy. In such a case it is desirable to provide a sensitive relay that is actuated when current flow through it persists for only a short interval of time.
Regardless of the character of the discharge device I when the relay I9 is actuated, its upper moveable contactor 23 engages the pair of operating contacts 25 whilethe lower moveable contactor 59 disengages its cooperative fixed contacts. 69 to remove the short circuit from the capacitor 49. On the other hand, its central moveable contactor "II engages a pair of cooperative fixed contacts I3 connecting the upper plate 51 of the capacitor 49 to a moveable tap I5 of the resistor 39. Since the lower plate SI of the capacitor is permanently connected to the positive terminal 41 of the voltage divider 33, charging current now flows to the capacitor in a circuit extending from the positive terminal of the voltage divider through the conductor GI, the capacitor 49, a conductor 11, the conductor 53, the moveable contactor II of the relay I9, a conductor I9, the portionof the resistor between the moveable tap I5 and its right-hand terminal, and the conductor 61 to the negative terminal 31 of the voltage divider. The charging current which now flows produces a potential drop across the portion 8| of the resistor 39 between the movable tap and the right-hand terminal which maintains the'discharge device I conductive and the relay I9 actuated. At the same time the upper plate 51 of the capacitor 49 which is connected to the control electrode I through the remaining portion 83 01 the resistor 39 is charged negative while the lower plate 5| is charged positive. The flow ofcurrent persists until the capacitor 49 becomes charged toa predetermined dili'erenee of potential such that the negative potential impressed between the control electrode I and the cathode 5 of the discharge device I is suflicient to maintain it deenergized. At this time the discharge device I is rendered non-conductive, the relay I9 is deenergized, the capacitor 49 is discharged and the system is thus prepared for another operation.
It is to be noted that the system operates in the manner just described regardless of whether radiant energy continues to impinge on the photosensitive device or not. If the radiant energy persists for only a portion of the time, the difference of potential impressed on the capacitor is somewhat smaller than it is when the radiant energy persists during the whole interval of operation. However, if a capacitor 49 of proper magnitude is selected, the time will be substantially the same.
Although I have shown and described certain specific embodiments of my invention, I am fully aware that many modifications thereof are possible. My invention, therefore, is not to be restricted except insofar as is necessitated by the prior art and by the spirit of the appended claims.
