Definitions

  • This invention relates to polarised electromagnetic relays and like magnetic devices for the interconversion of electrical and mechanical vibrations and one of the chief objects of the invention is to provide a form of relay which is of very small dimensions so as to occupy a small space and to be light in weight without materially Sacrificing the efiiciency of the instrument. While, however, the invention is valuable in its application to polarised telegraph relays, it is equally applicable to any electromagnetic relays which need to be set up in a relatively small space and in which the minimum of weight is an important consideration.
  • the two pole-pieces then conveniently constitute main members of the framework of the relay and serve also to support the permanent magnets, the signals coil and its core and the support for the vibrating armature.
  • the two cooperating members may then consist of flat plates of identical form, being set relatively at 180 de grees instead of being mirror images of one another as has been common previously.
  • the two members may be of opposite magnetic polarity with respect to the alternating or reversals flux set up by the signal currents if the relay has a magnetic circuit according to Patents Nos.
  • 1,826,- 990 and 2,412,123 may be of opposite magnetic polarity with respect to the polarising flux if a permanent magnet is sandwiched between them and the armature vibrates within the signal or input current winding in a magnetic circuit similar to that described in the specification of Patent No. 1,552,676.
  • pole-piece members lie substantially parallel to one another and to the axis about which the armature vibrates and on opposite sides of that axis.
  • the armature is suspended to vibrate about an axis near to its centre of gravity and to and from the polepieces.
  • the Width may be set accurately by spacing the pole-pieces apart by spacing members which may, in some cases, be permanent magnets.
  • the faces of the parallel pole-pieces may easily be set parallel to one another by accurately forming the spacing members.
  • any form of the magnetic structure may be used in a loud-speaking or other telephone receiver.
  • the two pole pieces are formed of flat plates of soft magnetic material and may be punched from sheet stock.
  • Figure 1 is a front elevation of one form of the invention as applied to a polarised telegraph relay;
  • Figure 2 is a plan of the same; while Figure 3 is an end elevation of the relay; and
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of the chief elements of the relay dismantled.
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view showing a modification of the magnetic structure according to Fig. 1.
  • the two polepieces I, 2 are identical and each consists of a fiat plate with an arm 3 to form the pole-piece proper, a shank 4 at right angles to the arm 3 and a projection 5 opposite the shank 4 for carrying one of the bars 6 which serves as a support for the fixed contacts I.
  • the pole-pieces l, 2 are formed of a soft magnetic alloy of low coer civity.
  • a spacing bar 3 of magnetic material is secured to one face of the pole-piece l or 2 in line with the shank 4 and the permanent magnet 9 has its rear end fixed to the spacing bar 8 by a screw lil.
  • the permanent magnet 9 extends parallel to the pole-piece I or 2 but staggered relatively to it by an amount equal to the thickness of the spacing bar 5.
  • the two polepieces l, 2 are rigidly secured together and set relatively at degrees to one another by a pair of non-magnetic screws H passing through both pole-pieces near their ends and each en gaged by a nut Ha and having a non magnetic washer I2 around each screw II to serve as the spacing members between the two pole-pieces I, 2.
  • the inner faces of the pole-pieces are ground flat and the two washers are ground or coined so as to be finished accurately to the predetermined thickness, for example, of about a tenth of an inch so that the spacing washers I2 accurately determine the length of the air gap between the polepieces which are secured together with their facing surfaces accurately parallel.
  • the pole-pieces I, 2 are accurately finished over the whole of their facing surfaces, what is actually important is that the areas of each of the facing surfaces in contact with the spacing washers I2 and that which forms a boundary of the air gap separating the pole piece in question from the armature are accurately made as three co-planar surfaces with the result that the length of the gap between those parts of the pole-pieces with which the armature co-operates is accurately determined.
  • the magnets 9 are mounted with their outer ends which are of like polarity, parallel to one another but with each relatively on the opposite side of the armature I3 to the corresponding pole-piece I or 2.
  • the armature I3 consists of a strip of the section at the top seen in Figs. 2 and 4 and has suspension blades I4 let into it in the neighbourhood of its centre of gravity and extending from either side.
  • Each suspension blade I4 is fixed by a screw I5 to a brass block I3, each of which is fixed to the inner face of the respective polepiece I or 2 by screws I6a, but which are threaded into holes I!
  • the armature I3 is formed with two offset lateral extensions I9 each of which bears one of the moving contacts 20 of the relay.
  • embraces a laminated core 22 which abuts against vertical laminations 23 at either end and the latter are pressed against the respective shanks 4 of the pole-pieces I, 2. This is effected by introducing the shank 4, core 22 and laminations 23 into the space between two uprights 24, 25 of a brass foot-piece 2B and clamping the parts in position by a screw 21, tapped into the upright 25.
  • the two limbs 3 of the pole-pieces I, 2 are of opposite polarities with respect to the alternating flux produced by the signals current in the case of a relay or by the movement of the armature in the case of a telephone transmitter or phonograph pick-up while the polarising fluxes from the permanent magnets 9 enter the armature from both polepiece limbs 3, pass in parallel through the armature and return to the magnets 9.
  • the magnetic circuit is arranged generally according to patent specifications 1,826,990 and 2,412,123.
  • the stationary contacts of the relay are seen at I on opposite sides of the armature and are carried on bent-out leaf springs 28 fixed at one end to the support bars 6 and having each of the other ends free to rub on an adjustable screw 29 projecting from the bar 3 so that adjustable .4 damping is applied as in patent specification No. 2,219,222.
  • the bars 6 are rivetted to fiat springs 30 which are fixed by screws 3I to the projections 5 of the pole-pieces I, 2 and are biassed or set to cause the bars 6 to bear on the ends of adjusting screws 32.
  • the latter are screwed in the split ends of the opposite spacing bar 8 and have heads 33 enabling them to be adjusted by small tommy pins.
  • the stationary contacts 1 are thus located to co-operate with the moving contacts 2
  • the two pole-pieces I, 2 are identical fiat plates of substantially the same form as in Figs. 1 to 4 with the limbs 3, shanks 4, and projections 5 but in addition to the screws II and non-magnetic spacing washers, the pole-pieces are spaced by two permanent magnets 34 from two further pole-pieces 35 having major extensions 36 taking the places of the bar magnets 9.
  • the polepieces I, 2, 35 are all made of a soft magnetic alloy of low coercivity.
  • the permanent magnets 34 are formed of a recent form of magnetic material consisting of grains consolidated by a binder of synthetic resin and having a high coercive force and known under the name Cassalox.”
  • each pole piece is formed of a main limb comprising the shank 4 and the vertical extension thereof which carries the projection 5, and an auxiliary limb 3 extending at right angles to the main limb at a point intermediate the ends thereof.
  • An electromagnetic device for the interconversion of electrical and mechanical vibrations comprising, an energizing coil having a magnetic core, a pair of pole pieces formed of two flat plates of soft magnetic material and having main limbs arranged in parallel relation transversely of the axis of said coil, one end of each main limb being magnetically connected with one end of said core, said pole pieces also having auxiliary limbs extending from points intermediate the ends of said main limbs at right angles thereto and in overlapping parallel relation parallel with the axis of said coil, means securing said overlapping auxiliary limbs together in spaced parallel relation including a pair of spacers of equal thickness interposed between said auxiliary limbs at spaced points along their length, the inner faces of said auxiliary limbs between said spacers forming the bounding surfaces of an air gap having a length equal to the thickness of said spacers, and an elongated magnetic armature having one end thereof positioned within said air gap and extending in the space between the outer end portions of said main limbs, and
