Definitions

  • This invention relates to a magnet control structure and more particularly to a construction for effecting a magnetic control of a magnetizable member through a wall or partition.
  • armature-load may be attached to or form part of an electric switch, valve or other device whose position must be changed by the control magnet.
  • Such a construction may be desirable or essential where ambient conditions at the partition or wall sides are dissimilar or incompatible.
  • ⁇ magnetic devices there are two general types of such magnetic devices.
  • one type which may be'designated as a power type
  • a different type which may be considered as a control type
  • the control member on one side of the partition and load upon the other side of the partition are adapted to move into or out of one or more distinct positions.
  • the present invention relates to the latter type where the load or controlled part has distinct positions andthe objective is to transmit a controlling force rather than power.
  • This invention makes possible a construction which permits a partition to separate a permanent magnet or the pole pieces thereof on the one hand from other permanent magnets or armatures as a load while obtaining the same order of magnetic etliciency as in a conventional ferro-magnetic construction where no partition is present.
  • a partition must generally be of non-magnetic mate-l rial.
  • the essence of the present invention lies in the provision of a partition of generally non-magnetic material but having local portion or portions of ferromagnetic material for completing the magnetic circuit under certain operating conditions.
  • a at partition or wall may be provided with ferro-magnetic inserts at regions Where magnetic action is to occur.
  • a control magnet either permanent or electro magnet, having suitable pole faces.
  • the other or controlled or load side of the partition there may be disposed device or devices which are magnetically responsive to be operated or controlled. The device to be controlled has its magnetically responsive part in proximity to one or more ferro-magnetic inserts in the partition.
  • the partition may be at with a control member.
  • Figure 2 is a section along line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
  • Figure 2A is an exploded View of the control parts of the structure of Fig. l.
  • Figure 3 is a plan view from the control side of the structure shown in Fig. l.
  • Figure 4 is a view partly in section of a modified form of the invention.
  • Figure 5 is a view along line 5-5 of Fig. 4.
  • Figure 6 is a view partly in section of a further modiication.
  • Figure 7 is a view along line 7-7 of Fig. 6.
  • Figure 8 is a sectional view of a still further modifica-v tion.
  • Figure 9 is a sectional view of an additional moditication.
  • FIG. 1 to 3 inclusive there is provided supporting wall or partition 10 of non-magnetic material.
  • Wall 10 may be of metal, plastic, or any other material which is substantially non-magnetic.
  • Partition 10 carries insulating disk 12 upon which may be mounted a number of movable spring arms 13. Each arm 13 may be anchored at 14 to disk 12 by any suitable means such as a screw or rivet. As illustrated in Fig. 2, each screw 14 passes through insulating disk 12 and into partition 16. If partition 10 is of metal, it may be desirable to insulate each spring arm 13, which will usually be ofmetal, from its mounting.
  • Spring arm 13 may consist of soft iron or soft steel or may even consist of spring steel or of non-magnetic material as Phosphor bronze or of non-metallic material as rubber. For the purposes of this invention, it is not essential that'arm 13v be of magnetic material although the arm may function as a combined spring and armature.
  • Arm 13 carries at its free end movable contact 16 which cooperates with xed contact 17 supported ou insulating strip 18 carried by-partition 10. As illustrated here, the various arms 13 are radially disposed yfrom the center of disk 12 with the free ends of the arms lying in an annular region defined by insulating strip 18.
  • the annular arrangement of contacts and mounting thereof may be varied and generally may be conventional.
  • Armature 20 Carried by each arm 13 is armature 20 of soft iron o'r soft steel.
  • Armature 20 may be considered as a magepesses netically responsive member which cooperates with, in this instance, a pair of ferro-magnetic inserts 21 and 22 in partition it?.
  • the exact shape of the inserts is unimportant and whether the inserts are ush with either surface of partition 2lb is not important.
  • Inserts 21 and 22 are suciently large and are so shaped and located .that armature 20 can bridge and contact the insert faces.
  • Ferro-magnetic inserts 21 and 22 are permanently dis posed in partition 10 and are mounted in such fashion that tight and satisfactory retention will be provided.
  • inserts 21 and 22 may of soft iron while partition i may be of non-magnetic stainless steel, a non-magnetic manganese iron alloy or any other material.
  • partition lil may be of plastic or of glass, of copper, brass, or aluminum. If partition is of metal, it might be desirable to weld ferro-magnetic inserts 21 and 22 into position.
  • the inserts may also be brazed or swedged into position. Where large variations in temperature are to occur, it may be necessary to select materials whose differences in expansion will not be harmful.
  • a permanent magnet assembly generally indicated by 26.
  • stub shaft or pin 27 preferably of non-magnetic material is anchored in or upon partition 10.
  • Rotatably supported on pin 27 is an assembly consisting of permanent magnet 2S and pole pieces 29 and 30.

  • Permanent magnet 28 may be any one of a number of different materials-Amico V, or may be of the new ceramic materials now available. Permanent magnet 28 is polarized so that the opposite annular faces a and b constitute the pole faces of the magnet.
  • the assembly may be secured on pin 27 by locking pin 36 carried by pole piece 30, the locking pin working in a suitable slot on pin 27. Pole pieces 29 and 30 are so desined that pole faces 33 and 34 can cooperate with ferro-magnetic inserts 22 and 21 respectively.
  • control assembly 26 when control assembly 26 is moved so that pole faces 33 and 34 bear upon the faces of a pair of inserts 21 and 22 that armature 20 will be attracted to operate the switch. It is clear that instead of closing switch contacts they may be so arranged that contacts are opened or one pair may be opened and another may be closed. Also instead of spring arm 13 carrying contacts, the spring arm may operate other mechanism or devices.
  • the switch arrangement is susceptible to wide variations.
  • the magnetic circuit may be traced as follows. From one magnet face along one pole piece arm to a ferro-magnetic insert in partition 1), thence through armature to the companion ferromagnetic insert and along the remaining pole piece arm back to the other magnet face.
  • the magnetic circuit may be re-arranged so that only one ferro-magnetic insert is necessary.
  • one of the pole pieces, such as 29, may be omitted in which case a corresponding pole piece should be provided on the load face 10b of partition 10.
  • VIt is also possible to have arm 13 carry a permanent magnet instead of armature 20 and adjust the spring bias of arm 13 so that pole faces 33 and 34 are required to be present at inserts 21 and 22 for proper action. In such case, care will have to be exercised to observe proper polarity of the magnet.
  • ferro-magnetic circuit The exact details of the construction of the ferro-magnetic circuit and the nature of the load may be varied within wide limits. lt may even be possible to have one or both inserts of permanent magnet material and adjust the tension of arm 13 so that a ferro-magnetic member such as pole pieces 29 and 30 must rest upon the inserts CFI and close the magnetic circuit for proper operation. In such case, permanent magnet 28 may be omitted.
  • the ferro-magnetic inserts are arranged so that one pair of inserts are disposed in radial alignment. This is not essential. Where a pair of inserts are used, it is possible to dispose each one of a pair in any other desired relation such as, for example, along the arc of a circle providing that the two pole faces can cooperate with one pair of inserts. As will be apparent later, in connection with other modifications, it is not essential that the inserts be provided iu pairs. As illustrated in Fig. 8 to be described later, three inserts may cooperate in such fashion as to be the equivalent to two pairs of inserts.
  • control assembly need not necessarily move along the partition face. It is pos-A sible to move the control assembly toward and away from a pair of inserts along a path normal to the partition face.
