J. L. MONCRIEF REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM Filed Feb. 5, 194e INVENTOR. JOHN L. MONCRIEF mxOIU OF Patented July 6, 1948 REMOTE-CONTROL SYSTEM John L. Moncrief, Eatontown, N. J., assigner to the United States of America as represented by the Secretary of War Application February 5, 1946, Serial No. 645,678
(Granted under the act of March 3, 1883, as
amended April 30, 1928; 370 0. G. 757) 3 Claims.
The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Goverment for governmental purposes, without the payment to me of any royalty thereon.
This invention relates to remote control systems, andis particularly adapted for use with internal combustion engines.
In the operation of radio systems in the iield, it is desirable to generate the necessary energy at some distance from the radio equipment, to avoid objectionable noise and static. In such a situation it is desirable to operate the generating equipment, from the radio apparatus, by remote control. lGenerating equipment for eld use involves an electric generator, an internal combustion engine for running the generator, and a starting motor for'the engine. The engine may have battery or magneto ignition and it is one of the objects of the invention to provide remote control for both types of ignition. Another object of the invention is to provide for continuous control of the engine choke, whereby means are provided for remotely actuating the choke only for the duration desired, in contradistinction to the usual means, which operates the choke as long as the starting motor is energized. The latter condition often results in ooding the kengine, and is therefore objectionable. A further object of the invention is to provide automatic means for starting the engine if it should fail to start, or should stop, after once pushing the starting button. Other objects and advantages willA be appreciated by those skilled in the art after reading the following disclosure- LA system controlled by my invention may include an alternating current generator, an inter- I nal ycombustion engine for driving the generator andy including 'an ignition system, an intake manifold and a choke, an electric motor for starting the engine, a battery for starting the .fmotor,,and-,battery-charging means. The apparatus of the invention comprises a starting switch and -means automatically operable, on closing the startingfswitchmomentarily, for actuating the y ignition system,` whether battery or magneto igni- "-ftion,.and also-for actuating ,the choke in such vmannerthatit is continuously under control, said meansalso functioning to start the motor, whereby the connected engine and the alternator are also started, the mentioned automatic means being adapted to stopthe motor, after the engine has started, by disconnecting thebattery from 4'the motor, and also being adapted to connect the lbattery tothe battery-charging means after disconnection of the battery from the motor, the
two latter functions being originated by the partial vacuum within the intake manifold acting on a Sylphon bellows. The apparatus also includes an arrangement whereby a plurality of remote starting and stopping switches may be disposed at, and operated from, various convenient points.
The accompanying drawing is a schematic of one embodiment of my invention. Referring to the drawing for a detailed description, the numerals 5 and 6 indicate relays, while the numerals l and 8 indicate switch-carrying panels. The relay 5 comprises an electromagnet 9 having a core I0, on which are wound coils I2, I3 and I4. Switches I6 and I1 constitute the armature of the electromagnet 9 and are both simultaneously actuated thereby, being mechanically connected together, as indicated by the dash line I9. Switch I6 is a double throw switch normally contacting contactor 2I but movable to contact contactor 23 when actuated by electromagnet 9. Switch I1 is a single-throw switch which contacts contactor 25 when actuated by the electromagnet.
The relay 6 comprises an electromagnet 21 having a core 28 and a winding 29 thereon, and is adapted, when energized, to hold an armature which comprises switches 3I and 32. These two switches are also mechanically connected, as indcated by'the dash line 33, and therefore move together. Switch 3I is a ldouble-throw switch normally contacting contactor 34 and adapted to contact contactor 35 when actuated. Switch 32 is a single-throw switch adapted to contact contactor 36 when actuated. Switches 3| and 32 are actuated by the contraction of a Sylphon bellows 38, which is connected to the armature, and also connected to the intake manifold 40 of the internal combustion engine, by a tube 4I, so that the interior of the manifold communicates with the interior .of the bellows. It will be readily understood that the partial vacuum existing in the manifold when the engine is running, allows the atmospheric pressure to eect contraction of the bellows.
The panel 'I carries manually operable, singlepole, single-throw, push-button switches 43 and 44, which are the stopping and starting switches respectively, while panel 8 carries a double-pole, double-throw switch 45, which is thrown t0 vthe left for the automatic operation of the apparatus of the invention, and to the right when it is desired to start manually, i. e., by hand cranking.
The elements previously described are electrically connected as follows. In the case of magneto ignition, with the engine shut ofl, the magneto, at 4l, is connected to ground through point 32, by conductor 50, switch I6, conductor and switch 48. The ground prevents the magneto from functioning. Movement of the switch from contactor 2| removes the ground and permits the magneto to function. For battery ignition, switch I6 is connected, by conductor 63, including contactor 28, to the primary of the ignition coil at 54, and is connected, through conductor 5| and switch 46 to the positive of the battery, to energize the ignition coil. To provide for a circuit whereby the motor may be started, the contactor 26 of the switch I1 is connected to one end of switch 8| by conductor 55, while switch I1 is connected, by conductor 56, to contactor 58 of the switch 44, from which a `conductor 59 leads, through switch 45, to ground as indicated at 60, and contactor 34 of switch 3|, is connected, by conductor 6I, to the solenoid starting switch of the motor, as indicated at 62. To energize the winding 29 of electromagnet 21, contactor 35 of switch 3| is connected by a conductor 63 to one terminal of the winding 29, the other terminal of the electromagnet being connected by conductor 64 to the positive terminal of the rectifier or battery charger, as indicated at 65. Said rectiiier is connected to the output of the generator driven by the internal combustion engine and is for the purpose of charging the battery. To provide for a circuit for charging the battery from the rectiiier, the lower terminal of winding 29 is connected to switch 32 by conductor 66.
The armature-actuating winding or coil I2, of electromagnet 9, has its lower terminal connected, by conductor 68, to the positive terminal of the battery, as indicated at 69, while its upper terminal is connected, by conductor 10, to one terminal of starting switch 44, the same terminal of the switch being connected by conductor 1I to the negative side of the choke, as indicated at The winding I3 of the electromagnet 9, which winding is adapted to hold the armature after the ac-tuating coil I2 is de-energized, has one of its terminals connected by conductor 14 to conductor 55, at a point adjacent switch I1 as indicated at 15, while the other terminal of this winding is connected at 16, by conductor 11 to the conductor 68, which leads to the positive of the battery at 69. Conductor 11 also leads to contactor 36 of switch 32.
The winding I4 of the electromagnet 9, which winding is adapted to overcome the magnetizing action of holding coil I3, is energized for shutting down the engine, and has one of its terminals connected to conductor 11 and its other terminal connected by conductor 18 to one of the contactors for stop switch 43, the other contactor for this switch being connected to conductor 56, and also connected to ground by conductor 80, which is designated as neutral, and leads to a remote posi-tion, as do stop and start leads 8| and 82 respectively, the former 8|, being connected to the conductor 18, and the latter, 82, to conductor 1I. The three remote conductors, 80, 8| and 82, are provided so that stop and start switches may be connected thereto at any convenient point or points, these switches being in parallel with the local stop and start switches 43 and 44 respectively, with the stop remote switch or switches connectible across conductors 88 and 8|, and .the start remote switches connectible across conductors 88 and 82. This arrangement provides for the sometimes desirable use of a number of remote switches disposed at different points.
, motor:
The .operation of the system ls as follows. Any one of .the starting switches is manually actuated momentarily; coil I2 of electromagnet 9 is thereby energized, energy being derived from the battery, and the circuit is completed through conductors 68, 10, 59 and switch 45, to ground at 60. At the same time, the choke is actuated, but only for as long as the starting button is depressed. The choke may therefore be operated for as long or short a period desired, flooding of the engine being thereby avoided. Coil I2 being energized, the armature, comprising switches I6 and I1, is actuated. Switch I6 thereby breaks contact with contactor 2| so that the normal ground is removed from the magneto ignition circuit, whereupon the latter is allowed to function. In .the case of battery ignition, contact oi the switch with contactor 23, allows current to be supplied to the primary circuit of the ignition coil at 54, by way of conductors 5I and 53, the circuit being traced from the battery positive at 52 to the ignition coil at 54.
Switch I1 being actuated, the starting relay switch for the motor is closed, connecting the battery to the motor and starting the latter, which starts the engine and its connected generator, the battery-motor circuit racing from the battery at 69 to the solenoid starting switch at 62, by way of coil I2 and switches 44, I1 and 3|. At the same time, coil I3 of electromagnet 9 of relay 5 is energized, whereby the switches I6 and I1 are held, allowing the starting button switch to be released. The circuit for energizing coil I3 extends from the battery at 69 to ground at 60.
The engine running, there is a partial vacuum in the intake manifold, which partial vacuum allows the atmospheric pressure to contact the bellows 38, this contraction actuating switches 3| and 32, moving the former into contact with contactor 35 and the latter into contact with contactor 36. Such movement of switch 3| disconnects the battery from the motor, shutting down the latter. At the same time, the electromagnet 29 is energized to hold the switches 3| and 32, energy being derived from rectifier positive or generator at 65, the circuit being completed at terminal 60. The closing movement of the switch 32 connects the rectifier at 65 to the battery so that the latter may be charged, the circuit including conductors 64, and 66, 11 and 68.
Any one of the stopping switches, when pressed, closes the circuit which includes the winding` I4 of the electromagnet 9 of relay 5; this winding, as explained above, neutralizes the action of the winding I3, thus allowing switches I6 and I1 to return to inactivated positions, whereby either the magneto is grounded or the battery ignition circuit opened, whichever ignition system is used, thus stopping the engine.
