' 2 Claims. 1 i
The present invention relates to electric supervisory apparatus particularly of the type using electron discharge tubes as links between impedances designed to supervise given operating conditionsand devices which are to respond to changes of these conditions.
It is often desired to supervise operating conditions, such as for example the disposition of material in a storage vessel either above or below a given point, by means of a self-contained and reliable device which can be easily applied to the installation to be supervised, 'as for example by insertion without special adaptation or change of design, into remotely located tanks or storage vessels.
Some of the principal objects of the invention are to provide a device serving such requirements which, if necessary, is independent of external power supply but can be battery operated; which can be applied to the device to be supervised without adaptation or special construction; which consumes very little, and under certain conditions no current at all excepting when signaling a change of the supervised condition such as a liquid level; which can be very easily adapted for either high or low level detection; and which is very simple and therefore rugged and safe, and yet exact and reliable in operation.
These and other objects and aspects will be more fully apparent from the following description of a practical embodiment illustrating the genus of the invention. to a drawing in which Fig. 1 is a section through a portable level detecting device, including a circuit incorporating the present invention, and
Fig. 2 a diagram of a circuit according to the invention as applied to a more permanent installation.
Fig. 1 shows a battery, consisting of several cells indicated at I, 2, 3, 4, connected to the plate circuit of an electron discharge tube T for ex- The description refers ample of the cold cathode gas-filled type, with anode a, cathode k, and starting anode s. The battery has two taps II, I2 to which is connected a detecting circuit which includes two detecting electrode lead wires I5, I6, a resistance RI next to the tap II of higher voltage and, if desired, a normally closed testing switch SI in series with RI. A point I8 intermediate wire I6 and resistance RI is connected, through a resistance R2, to control electrode s.
' insulating bushing 38.
The output circuit of tube T may include a schematically shown at M, for signaling a change of the supervised condition, or for operating apparatus appropriately responding to this change.
As indicated in Fig. 1, the entire electrical apparatus may be enclosed in a housing 30 which has a compartment 3i fol-the battery,a compartment 32 for the circuit proper, and a door 33 which may seal battery and circuit from each other and from the outside.
One probe electrode may consist of a tube 35 fixed to a boss 31 of housing 30, which boss has an opening through which leads a rod 36 constituting the other electrode, supported by an Lead wire I5 may be soldered at 4i to housing 30 which is in conductive connection with tube 35 and may provide a ground connection. To provide this ground connection, the housing 30 is accordingly preferably made of a conductive material such as a metal. Lead I6 is at 42 screwed to the inner end of probe rod 36.
Probe rod 35 and tube 35 may be secured by insulating separators 48, perforated at 49; the tip 46 of rod 36 may, for better protection, end inside the end 45 of tube 35.
A handle 50 may be provided for facilitating the insertion of tube 35 for example into the filling hole of a tank, upon which the bottom of housing 30 may rest with rim 5I, effectively closing the tank opening.
The indicating lamp or instrument M may be visible through a window 52 of housing 30, and switches SI, S2 may be operated by means of push buttons bI, b2 brought out through suitable bushings.
It will be understood that the detecting electrodes may be arranged in any suitable manner and that for example, the tank itself may constitute one electrode, in which case tube 35 may be omitted, provided that conductive contact between housing 30 and the tank upon which it is placed can be securely established.
This arrangement operates as follows, assuming that probes 45, 46 reach down to that point inside of a filled tank below which the level of material therein is not supposed to fall.
The current flowing in circuit II-RI-SI-IG- 46-45-4I-I5-I2 which circuit includes the material as a detecting impedance, causes a potential drop in resistor RI so that starter s is at a lower potential than tap II, which potential is insuflicient to initiate discharge of tube T.
If the liquid level falls below point 45, the
above-traced circuit is broken, and starter s assumes the potential of tap II which is high enough to render tube T conductive. The plate current of T operates device M until the plate circuit; is interrupted at $2. If a suitable tube of the visibly glowing cathode type is used, the
device M may be dispensed with; in that case,
tube T takes the place of M at window 52.
An embodiment of the present invention adapted for normally infinite detecting impedance is shown in Fig. 2.
This figure shows the application of a circuit according to the invention .to apparatus for separating water from gasoline. A tank 60 contains a device for separating water from gasoline fed into the tank by a pump 6! driven by electromotor 62 which is connected to current supply line 63 through starter switch 64. The purified gasoline leavesthrough duct 65, whereas the water accumulates in a sump 66 from where it is removed by an automatic dump valve 61. It may happen that more water accumulates than can be discharged, and in that case the gasoline supply has to be interrupted; the arrangement according to Fig. 2 takes care of this contingency as follows.
A potential apportioning device I I, which may be a battery as shown in Fig. 1, is again connected to the output circuit, containing magnet MI and operating switch S2, of a tube T and has taps Ill, H2 of higher and lower intermediate potential. Probe electrode I46 is mounted above the maximum level to which the water 69 in sump B is permitted to rise. It will be noted that resistance RI is in this instance connected to low potential tap HZ. A normally open testing switch S3 is connected in parallel to probe wires l5, l6.
The probe circuit llll5-ground6069-l46 lB-I8-Rl-l i2 is in this case normally open, starter anode s has a potential too low to ignite the tube, and magnet MI is deenergized. If the water level reaches probe I45, current flows in the above circuit, causing a voltage drop in resistance RI. The potential of starting anode s is raised, the tube becomes conductive and magnet MI is energized. The circuit of switch S4 is closed by Mi, which energizes magnet M2 that in turn opens motor switch 64 stopping pump 6| and the flow of gasoline into tank 60.
If it is desired to resume operation of the apparatus, after normal condition is restored, opening of switch S2 will deenergize magnet MI and cause starting of pump 6 I.
Switches Sl' (Fig. 1) and S3 (Fig. 2) may be provided for testing the respective circuits. It will now be evident that switch SI duplicates the function of receding material which opens connection between probes 45 and 46 (Fig. 1) and that switch S3 closes the detecting circuit similar to water rising to the level of probe I46.
It will be apparent that a circuit according to Fig. 2 could be used in a housing with probes similar to those shown in Fig. 1. but with the probes short enough to provide high level detection. Similarly, the circuit according to Fig.
' 1 can be used to operate a relay arrangement as suggested in Fig. 2, responsive to low level detection.
It should be understood that the present disclosure is for the purpose of illustration only and that this invention includes all modifications and equivalents which fall within the scop of the appended claims.
