Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a two-motion switching system in which with the aid of one or more multi-connecting switches a plurality of connections may be simultaneously built up and established via each switch.
  • the object is to provide a new and economical method for controlling these switches.
  • Such system may for example, be applied in an automatic telephone exchange or such like.
  • a common mechanism for instance a carriage, provided for all individual switches, of which a multi-switch is composed, may, by the energization of a power magnet, perform a selecting and/or hunting action namely for any number of these individual switches simultaneously under the control of a register controller for each of said individual switches.
  • stationary contacts of a multi-switch cooperating with movable contact members on the common mechanism are each electrically connected with the test conductor of a corresponding outlet common to all individual switches.

  • each common mechanism there has been provided a single test relay, under control of which the selecting and/ or hunting movement can be ended by opening the circuit of the power magnet in which this relay is electrically connected with all individual switches and with the register controllers, controlling these switches.
  • the register controller which successfully finished this direct current test causes, according to another feature of this invention, that in the individual switch circuit in question an electromagnet is operated which prepares the switch for further extension.
  • this electro-magnet causes a second power magnet of the common mechanism to be operated, whereby dependent upon the operated position, taken by this mechanism and also dependent upon the meanwhile prepared individual switch one of the contact fingers in this last mentioned switch is brought into the operated position and is locked therein.
  • the electro-magnet for the individual switch in question is maintained energized, which at the same time maintains locked the contact finger by means of the locking member.

  • the start selection contact SS is closed in a manner not further described, whereupon the relay Hpr is energized in a circuit via break contacts Dpz, Dml and make contact SS to ground.
  • the relay Hpr By make contact Hpl an operating circuit is closed for relay Ar via the wire In and break contact H1, which relay, thereby operates.
  • This relay closes the circuit ofthe power magnet P1 by make conisolating jack BJ, and break contact A3.
  • the rectifier tube SVJ. becomes 'tensionless.
  • This tube responding to a potential difference between the transformers TRl and 'IRz, became ionised and caused the charge of the condenser 01.
  • tube SV1 shuts off, so that the condenser may discharge through resistance R3. This results in an increase of the potential in the control gap of the discharge tube SVz, so that this tube ionises and closes a circuit from -l5O v.
  • Relay Tr is a test relay provided in common for all individual switches with the carriage, which relay, by opening its back contact T1 stops the carriage in a position corresponding with the outlet in which the desired characteristic potential was met. In this position the contact memhers I and II are in contact with the stationary contacts associated with the wires c2 and d2 of this outlet respectively, whilst the feelers and the pushers on the carriage are standing in front of the vertical row of contact fingers, corresponding with this outlet.
  • Direct current test Relay Wpr in the register controller operates in series with relay Tr and closes through front contact Wm a circuit for the test relays Dtr and Dpr via the preceding selector wire c1, back contact RIs, front contact A1, contact member II, stationary contact D of the selected outlet and via wire (is to the inlet wire din of the subsequent selector. It proves from Fig. '7 that in the normal position of this selector, this wire is connected with battery through back contact A4 and a resistance of 240 ohms. If this battery is present both test relays will operate provided that not more than one register would try to seize the outlet under consideration, in which case a douin one register the test relays may become operative.
  • Dpr causes the opening of the circuit for relay Hpr, so that this relay releases.
  • the front contact l-Ipz is bridged, so that the above traced circuit of Dp-r is not opened by the release of Hpr.
  • Dpr opens at its back contact D274 the circuit of the slow relay Dmr, preventing the possibility that this relay might be energized after the operation of Wpr via front contact Wpz.
  • Dpr causes the removal of the operating ground for relay Ar by opening back contact D101.
  • the electromagnet H which up to now was short-circuited by this operating ground, is energized in series with the winding of Ar via the front contact A3 towards a ground, which in the preceding selector is connected to wire e1 via the contact 63;: and the outlet cap of this selector.
  • the relay Ar remains operated in this circuit the energization of the magnet H causes that the various contacts H1, H3 and H4 are opened and H2 is closed, whilst at the same time the slidable ring-shaped member is brought into the first operative position, whereby the horizontal row is predetermined, in which a contact finger will have to be pushed.
  • Back contact H1 opens the operating circuit for Ar, which however has no further influence.
  • Back contact H3 again opens the circuit of the power magnet P1 in the individual switch, which already had been opened in the common part by the back contact T1.
  • Back contact H4 opens in the individual switch the circuit, via which the characteristic potential of the selected outlet was connected to the register controller, which however, has no further eifect, since the tube SVz remains ionised, independent of this potential.
  • the closure of front contact H2 causes the energization of the power magnet P2 in the circuit from ground via back contact R12.
  • the operation of this power magnet causes the cams 64 and 65 of Fig. 3 to rotate, and the advance of all feelers on their carriage in order to scan, in which level the slidable ring member is brought in the first operative position.
  • R12 opens thereby the circuit of the power magnet P2, so that it terminates its operation after a complete revolution of the cams 64 and 65 of Fig. 3.
  • R13 opens the circuit via which the direct current test takes place, whilst R11 opens ble-test takes place in known manner and only 5 the circuit through which the relays Tr and Wpr are energized in series with the discharge, tube SVz. This tube extinguishes whilst Tr and Wpr are releasing.
  • the closure of the back contact T1 produces the possibility that the power magnet Pl can again be operated under the control of one or the other individual selectors in this multi-switch.
  • both contact members I and II of the individual selectors under consideration are insulated by the opening of the back contacts H4 and RI3 respectively, whilst the test relay Tr is insulated herefrom by the fact that back contact R11 is open.
  • the release of Wm as well as the opening of R11 causes the release of the double-test relays Dtr and Dpr in the register controller, so that this circuit is restored to the initial position.
  • Nonsuccessful direct current test If the direct current test is not successful e. g. by the simultaneous seizure of the selected outlet by a different connection, the relays Dtr and Dpr will not operate after the operation of Dtr so that a circuit is closed in which the slow relay Dmr may operate via front contact Wpz, and back contact Dpl. for relay Hpr at its back contact Dm-i so that in series with the discharge space of the tube SV2 the circuit for relays Wpr and Tr is opened and Wpr releases, which. in turn opens the direct current test circuit and the, circuit for relay Beer. The latter relay releases slowly and thus restores the register controller in the initial position, so the desired selector setting is again started.
  • connection The release of the connection is indicated by opening the ground. on wire 61 from the preceding selector.
  • Relays Ar and the electromagnet H are de-energized whereby the ring-shaped member is pushed back towards the non-operative position in consequence of which the pushed contact finger may be restored to normal and the contacts a to e are opened and thereby the described connection is broken.
  • Relay Ar again connects the test potentials to back contacts A3 and A4, so that from this moment. the selector is free to build up a new connection.
