4 Claims. (Cl. 323--43.5)
This invention relates to voltage adjusters for adjusting the output voltage of the adjuster in response to variations in the line or input voltage of the adjuster. More specifically, this invention relates to automatically operated line voltage adjusters. This invention also relates to improved relay means useful in the automatic line voltage adjuster of this application as well as in other environments.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide an automatic line voltage adjuster requiring a minimum of component elements and a simplicity of operation heretofore unknown in the art.
A further object of the invention is to provide means for operating a relay in response to changes in voltage in the low order of, say, 10 volts, without requiring expensive sensitive relays or expensive circuit designs.
Other objects of the invention will become apparent from a study of the following description, the claims appended to the description, and the drawing which illustrates a selected embodiment of thls invention.
This invention has particular utility in controlling the input voltage to a television receiver. As illustrated, it is used to increase the output of the adjuster in response to voltage drops because television receivers react unfavorably to reduced input voltages, and line voltage drops are quite common whenever abnormal load conditions are impressed upon an entire electric plant.
In the selected embodiment of this invention, terminals 1 and 2 are connected to the power line and terminals 3 and 4 are connected to a television receiver. By way of illustration, the nominal line voltage is 110 volts A. C. at 60 cycles per second, and the television receiver is in tended to operate at 110 volts A. C. at 60 cycles per second.
Terminal 1 is connected to terminal 3 through, in order, a S-ampere fuse 5, a 10-volt secondary winding 6 in a transformer 7, and normally closed contacts 8, 9 of a relay 10.
Terminal 2 is connected to terminal 4 through the heater element 11 of a thermal relay 12. As soon as the television receiver connected to terminals 3 and 4 is turned on, the current flowing through the heater element 11 closes contacts 13 and 14 of the thermal relay 12. This completes a circuit comprising the input terminal 1, the fuse and a 110-volt primary portion 15 of the winding 15 of the transformer 7. The 110 volt portion 115 of the primary 15 also acts in conjunction with the volt secondary winding 6 as the secondary of an autotransformer. The secondary portion of winding 15 nominally provides 120 volt output across the total winding 15 when 110 volts is applied across winding 15 and it is used as a secondary in the manner of an auto-transformer to supply a source of control voltage for the relay means new to be described.
The 120 volt end 16 of the winding completes a circuit through a selenium rectifier 17, a gaseous voltage regulator tube 18, the operating coil 19 of the relay 10, and the 2,830,253 Patented Apr. 8, 1958 2 end 20 of the transformer 7 common to both the volt and volt portions of the winding 15.
In the illustrated embodiment, the voltage regulator tube is designed to maintain a constant voltage drop of volts across it, regardless of how high the voltage across it may strive to become. The tube 18 may be one commonly known to the art as the OD 3 type tube. The coil it is designed to operate at 10 volts, and has an internal resistance of 200 ohms. A 33,000 ohm 5 watt resistance 21 and a 30 microfarad condenser 22 bridge the circuit from the rectifier 17 to the end 20 of the transformer, and a 40 microfarad condenser 23 is connected across the coil 19 of the relay 10.
The rectifier 1'7 rectifies the A. C. output of transformer 7. Resistance 21 functions as a load for rectifier 17 and condensers 22 and 23 filter the pulsations of the rectified D. C. so that the current through coil 19 is substantially steady direct current. This effectively prevents the possibility of chatter in the relay and eifects a greater stability of operation.
Now assume that the line voltage at terminals 1 and 2 is 110 volts or more. Then the voltage across terminals 16 and 20 will average 120 volts and since this is 60 cycle A. C., the maximum voltage peak each cycle will be volts or more. The rectifier l7 converts this to 160 volts D. C. or more. There will be a 150 volt drop across the tube 18, leaving 10 volts to operate the relay 19. Since this coil operates at 10 volts, contacts 9 and 24 will be drawn toward the relay against the force of a spring 25. This closes contacts 9 and 26 of the relay 10, closes contacts 24- and 27 of the relay 10 and opens contacts 8 and 9 of the relay 10. The closing of contacts 9 and 26 connects output terminals 3 and 4 to the line terminals 1 and 2, thereby impressing the line voltage upon the television receiver. The closing of contacts 24 and 27 connects a 330 ohm /2 watt resistance 28 across the operating coil 19 of the relay 10.
It is well known that in electromagnetic relays that the holding voltage is less than the voltage required to actuate the contact points. In some relays this differential is quite extreme while in others due to rigid standards of manufacture and design the differential may be quite small. it is desirable in a sensitive voltage regulator to have the minimum pickup voltage and the minimum relay holding voltage at substantially the same value. Ideally where extremely high sensitivity is required the pickup voltage should only be sufiiciently higher than the minimum relay holding voltage to prevent oscillation of the relay under conditions of a steady voltage at the pickup value. It is difiicult to construct relays which operate within this range. Therefore resistance 28 is arranged to effectively raise the voltage necessary to hold the contacts of relay it) closed so that the relay will hold once enough to raise the minimum holding voltage to about ten percent of the minimum pickup voltage.
Now assume that the line voltage impressed upon terminals 1 and 2 drops to 109 .volts or lower. Then the average voltage across terminals 16 and 20 will drop to ll9or lower, and the peak voltage will drop down to l59-or lower. Since there is automatically a 150 voltage drop across the voltage regulator tube 18, the voltage drop across the relay coil 10 will be only 9 volts. Since this is insufficient to maintain the relay in operation, the spring 25 will return the movable contacts 9 and 24 to their normal position. This closes contacts 8 and 9, thereby adding volts to the 109 volts or less in the primary of the transformer 7 giving a total output of 119 or less at the terminals 3 and 4.
Thus, if the line voltage at terminals 1 and 2 varies from 100 to 120 volts, the output voltage at terminals 3 and 4 will never be lower than 110 volts, thereby operating the television receiver under optimum working conditions.
It will become apparent that the heart of the control resides in the combination of the voltage regulator tube and a low voltage relay, for by this combination a relatively small variation in overall relay control voltage results in a relatively large variation in actual relay voltage. This gives accurate operational control of the relay.
Having thus described a selected embodiment of the invention, the several forms of the invention are described and claimed in the hereinafter appended claims.
