FREE RUNNING MULTIVIBRATOR CIRCUIT ENERGIZING AN INDICATOR CIRCUIT Filed Feb. 8. 1960 INVENTOR.
Gearge .7 ('u/berfaon @WQLk HTTDRNEYJ United States Patent 3,188,623 FREE RUNNING MULTIVIBRATOR CIRCUIT ENERGIZING AN INDICATOR CIRCUIT George T. Culbertson, Gardena, Calif., assignor, by mesne assignments, to Master Specialties Company, Gardena,
Calif., a corporation of California Filed Feb. 8, 1960, Ser. No. 7,409 4 Claims. (Cl. 340331) This invention relates in general to flasher warning devices and more particularly relates to a transistorized flasher system.
In the modern technology of high speed aircraft and missiles, ever increasing problems of operator monitoring and warning indications are encountered. There is a constant need for a central indicator panel capable of visually indicating the sequence of various operations throughout the system. Additionally, it is imperative to have indications of faults due to abnormal changes in pressure, temperature, speed, or the like. Accordingly, one of the objects of this invention is to provide a flasher warning device which operates to give a visual indication upon the operation of a fault switch. A fault switch as used throughout this description is defined as a device which is located in .the input power line and which operates upon a predetermined condition to enable the flasher device.
A further object of this invention is to provide a flasher utilizing solid state components to increase the reliability and to minimize preventative maintenance.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide an inexpensive flasher which may be compactly assembled in a rugged assembly.
come apparent from .the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing containing a single figure which illustrates a schematic representation of one form of the invention.
Referring now to' the figure, an. input source of direct current potential is applied to lines 10 and 11 being positive at terminal 12 and negative at terminal 13. The application of input power is controlled by a fault switch 14 which is illustrated as being in the positive line although it is apparent that it may be in the negative line. The fault switch may be operated automatically upon the occurrence of any predetermined condition in a wellknown manner.
A pair of injection transistors 16 and 26 have their emitter electrodes 17 and 27 joined together and connected to line 10 through resistor 30. The collector electrode 18 of transistor 16 is connected to line 11 through resistor 31. The collector electrode 28 of transistor 26 is connected to line 11 through a pick-up winding 32 of an output relay and also through a parallel path including isolating semi-conductor diode 33 and resistor 34. The contacts 32a associated with winding 32 are shown in their normally de-energized position in series with an indicator lamp 36 and a source of lamp voltage applied to terminals 37, 38. The base electrode 19 is connected between the adjustable time constant resistors 40 and 41 Which have their opposite ends connected to lines 10 and 11. A capacitor 42 joins the base 19 to the upper end of resistor 34.
In a like manner, adjustable resistors 43 and 44 join lines 10 and 11 with a common connection to the base electrode 29 of transistor 26. A capacitor 46 is connected between the base 29 and collector 18 of the opposite transistors.
In operation, one of the transistors starts to conduct when the fault switch 14 is closed and power is applied to lines 10 and 11. Assuming for a moment that transistor 16 starts to conduct, a complete cycle of operation will be described. Initially, capacitor 46 becomes slightly charged minus to plus reading the figure from left to right. This plus potential at the base of transistor 26 is suflicient to maintain the transistor 26 non-conducting. With transistor 26 non-conducting, the output relay coil 32 is not energized and indicator lamp 36 is extinguished to indicate the off time of the flasher.
Capacitor 42 meanwhile, as transistor 16 conducts, charges through the emitter to base diode of transistor 16 and through the resistor 40 to become charged plus to minus, reading left to right. Capacitor 46 commences to leak off its charge around the path including resistor 44, line 11 and resistor 31. A further discharge path for capacitor 46 extends through resistor 43, line 10, resistor 30, and the emitter to collector path of conducting transistor 16. It is apparent that both of the adjustable resistors 43 and 44 therefore control the discharge time of capacitor 46 which, as will be seen, controls the off time of the output indicating lamp.
When capacitor 46 has discharged sufiiciently, transistor 26 turns on and the emitter-collector current energizes the output relay winding 32 to turn the lamp 36 on. Additionally, diode 33 is poled in a forward direction and 'a positive potential is developed at the top of resistor 34.
This positive potential is coupled to the base 19 and transistor 16 turns off as a result of transistor 26 turning on. Capacitor 46 now charges again with a plus potential on the right with the charge path through the emitter to base diode of conducting transistor 26 as well as through resistor 43. I
Meanwhile, during conduction of transistor 26, capacitor 42 discharges through a path including resistor 41, line 11 and resistor 34. A further discharge path for capacitor 42 includes resistor 40, line 10,- resistor 30, the emitter to collector path of transistor 26 and forward biased diode 33. It is also apparent that both of the adjustable resistors 40 and 41 therefore control the discharge time of capacitor 42 which controls the on time of the output indicating lamp. When capacitor 42 discharges sufliciently, transistor 16 begins to conduct which applies a positive potential to base 29 and in turning off transistor 26 also turns ofI' lamp 36.
The indicator lamp on time may be varied by adjusting resistors 40 and 41 while the off time may be adjusted by varying resistors 43 and 44. It is understood that the value of capacitors 42 and 46 may be varied as an equivalent manner of controlling the oif and on time.
The circuit has been described using PNP transistors although it is understood by those skilled in the art that NPN transistors may be substituted by reversing the input polarity of the power source and by reversing the direction of isolating diode 33. A proper polarity of the coil of output relay 32 must of course also be provided.
Although the invention has been described with reference to a specific embodiment, numerous modifications are possible and it is desired to cover all modifications falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
