Definitions
- the present invention relates to a circuit arrangement for controlling or monitoring consumer circuits, especially circuits of lights of motor vehicles, without the use of contacts. Particularly in connection with motor vehicles, failure of a headlight not recognized by the driver may lead to serious hazards, but other circuit arrangements also have components which can be monitored to advantage.
- Control arrangements are known in which each circuit to be controlled is provided with a relay the armature of which drops open when a failure occurs in said circuit which in turn actuates a contact which closes the circuit of a control or indicating lamp.
- a control circuit operating with such contacts may not properly, or may falsely, indicate the failure of the circuit to be controlled or may not indicate such failure at all.
- control circuits which operate without contacts but in which a control of the circuits is possible only after the respective circuit has been connected to the current source, for instance a battery.
- an object of the present invention to provide a control or monitoring arrangement without contacts for consumer circuits, especially for controlling circuits of lights in motor vehicles, which will overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks.
- FIGURE 1 shows a first embodiment according to the invention and includes an oscillator, a consumer circuit and a control circuit for the latter;
- FIGURE 2 shows a second embodiment according to the invention which differs from that of FIG. 1 in that the control circuit is simplified thereover;
- FIGURE 3 shows an arrangement according to the present invention for controlling a plurality of consumer circuits.
- FIGURE 4 diagrammatically illustrates a housing combining in an encapsulated unit various elements of the arrangement according to FIGS. 1 to 3 respectively.
- FIGURE 5 illustrates a housing for the indicating lamps used in connection with the arrangement according to the present invention.
- a circuit arrangement for controlling without contacts consumer circuits, especially circuits of lights of motor vehicles, according to the present invention is characterized primarily in that an oscillator is connected to the feed voltage of the consumer circuits while the oscillating frequency of said oscillator differs from the normal frequency of the consumer circuits.
- the outlet (Ausgangsgrosse) of said oscillator is connected to the consumer circuit to be controlled and to the control circuit pertaining thereto while the consumer circuit which has a low ohmic resistance at the oscillator frequency is connected to the control circuit which has a high ohmic resistance at said frequency in such a way that it represents a load or shunt for the control circuit.
- an alternating current is produced which alternating current is simultaneously fed to the consumer circuit and the control circuit therefor.
- the consumer circuit has a low ohmic resistance for said alternating current and inasmuch as the consumer circuit is connected to the control circuit of high ohmic resistance in such a way that it represents a load or shunt for said control circuit, an alternating current produced in the oscillator does not flow in the control circuit as long as the consumer circuit is closed.
- the consumer circuit is interrupted, for instance due to a failure of a lamp or fuse arranged therein, the load or shunt of the control circuit is removed and an alternating current flows in said control circuit which may be made visible by an indicating lamp, for instance a glow lamp.
- the outlet voltage of the oscillator is coupled to the consumer circuit and the control circuit by means of a transducer or transformer (Ubertrager).
- the two circuits may be connected to one winding each of the transducer.
- the consumer circuit as long as it is closed, then practically represents a shortcircuit for one winding of the transducer so that no voltage is present in that winding of the transducer which is connected to the control circuit. If this short-circuit is removed, for instance by a blowout of the incandescent filament of the lamp to be controlled, the oscillator voltage is fed into the winding connected to the control circuit so that an indicating lamp arranged in said control circuit will light up.
- the oscillator is transistorized so that it has only a very low current consumption.
- the oscillator is operated as blocking oscillator Sp errschwinger).
- the consumer circuits of a motor vehicle are rovided with an ignition switch as well as an additional light switch.
- the light switch is advantageously bridged by an alternating current impedance having a low ohmic resistance at the frequency of the oscillator.
- alternating current impedance for instance a condenser of high capacity may be employed.
- the circuit arrangement shown there in comprises an oscillator circuit generally designated 0, a consumer circuit C and a control circuit K.
- a transistor 7 of oscillator O is connected to the positive pole ll of a battery through the intervention of an ignition switch 14, a winding 5 of a transducer T, a resistor 8 and one end of a resistor 9 the other end of which is connected to the negative pole 41 of said battery.
- ignition switch 14 When said ignition switch 14 is closed, a working voltage is fed to said transistor 7.
- the emitter 7a of transistor 7 is connected to a tapping 5a of winding 5 while the collector 7b of said transistor is connected to the negative pole 41 of the battery.
- the oscillator O is furthermore provided with a retroactive or feedback condenser 6 the capacity of which determines the impulse frequency of the oscillator.
- the arrangement is such that the oscillator operates as blocking oscillator while the frequency thereof is so selected that it differs from that normally encountered in the consumer circuit C.
- a consumer 1 for instance a lamp of a motor vehicle, is on one hand connected to the negative pole 41 of the battery and on the other hand to the positive pole of the battery through the intervention of a fuse 2, a secondary winding 3 of transducer T, a light switch 15 and ignition switch 14.
- the consumer circuit C is bridged by a circuit 4a comprising an electrolytic condenser 4 of high capacity and interposed between switch 15 and the negative pole 41 of the battery.
- Circuit 4a has a low ohmic resistance and represents a load or shunt for the winding 3 of transducer T of such magnitude that no or only a very low voltage is received at a further winding 19 of transducer T.
- Winding 10 of transducer 10 forms a part of the control circuit K which furthermore comprises a glow lamp 13. An alternating voltage produced by oscillator O is received at the winding 1% and rectified by a rectifier 12. Control circuit K is furthermore provided with a resistor 11 and condensers 10a and 1% which serve as bypass or filtering members.
- transducer T If lamp 1 burns out, for instance due to a failure of the filament thereof, or if the fuse 2 blows out due to overload, transducer T is no longer under load and an alternating voltage is obtained at winding 19 which alternating voltage is rectified by means of the rectifier 12 and is smoothed by the filters 11, 19 and b. Consequently, glow lamp 133 will light up which indicates that a failure occurred in the corresponding consumer circuit C.
- a control or indicator lamp 13a is arranged in the base-collector circuit 7b of the transistor 7.
- Transistor 7 receives its working voltage from the battery through the intervention of the closed ignition switch 14, the winding 5 of a transducer T and resistors 8 and 9.
- the arrangement according to FIG. 2 furthermore comprises a retroactive or feedback condenser 13! which together with the inductance of the winding 5 of transistor T determines the frequency of the oscillator.
- the control lamp 13a is located in the outlet circuit, i.e. in this instance in the collector circuit of transistor 7.
- a consumer circuit comprising a lamp 1, a fuse 2 and a winding 3 is arranged in parallel to the series circuit of condenser 13b and lamp 13a.
- This arrangement serves for damping the feedback or retroactive circuit so that the oscillator cannot start oscillating if the consumer circuit is unbroken. If, however, lamp 1 or fuse 2 fail, no damping occurs any longer and the oscillator starts oscillating. The outlet alternating current thus produced is indicated by control lamp 13a.
- FIG. 3 represents a further embodiment of the circuit according to the present invention.
- a transistor oscillator operates as block oscillator which starts oscillating at a certain rhythm.
- the frequency of the oscillations is determined by an electrolytic condenser 29 which thus determines the time sequence of the start of the oscillations.
- the voltage produced by oscillator 25 is fed to con densers 21, 32, 33, 34 and, if desired, to further condensers, not shown in the drawing, through an outlet transducer 19. Each of these condensers is connected to a further transducer. In the arrangement of FIG. 3 only the circuit of one condenser (condenser 21) is shown in detail. Condenser 21 is connected to one end of a winding 24 of a transducer 18 while the other end of said winding 24 is connected to the outlet transducer 19 of oscillator 25.
- a series circuit comprising a lamp 22 to be controlled, a fuse 23 and an electrolyte condenser 26 is connected to a winding 27 of transducer 13.
- Lamp 22 receives direct current from a battery (not shown) connected to terminals 16 and 17 through the intervention of an ignition switch 3% and a light switch 31.
- Condenser 26 is arranged between a connecting point 32 of the light switch 31 with the winding 27 and terminal 17 so that an alternating current fed into the system at the winding 27 may fiow regardless of whether switch 31 is open or closed.
- a glow lamp 29 is connected to a winding 22 of transducer 18. As long as an alternating current may flow in the circuit connected to the winding 27, glow lamp 29 cannot light up inasmuch as the consumer circuit comprising lamp 22, fuse 23 and condenser 26 has a low ohmic resistance and inasmuch as consequently the transducer 18 is under such load that the voltage drop occurring at condenser 21 is considerably greater than the voltage produced at winding 24. If, however, the circuit is interrupted at the winding 27, for instance due to the fact that the lamp 22 burns out, the load of transistor 18 is eliminated inasmuch as no current can flow any longer in the circuit connected to winding 27.
- the voltage in winding 24 and also in winding 28 increases and the glow lamp 29 receives a voltage sufficiently high to light up the same in a rhythm proluded by the block oscillator, i.e. glow lamp 29 lights up at regular intervals.
- Block oscillators of high inner resistance may in a manner known per se be obtained by employing surface transistors in an emitter-base configuration and by withdrawing the outlet voltage at the collector.
- the elements of the circuit are arranged in a housing and combined to an encapsulated unit by means of cast resin.
- the housing may be provided with a plug strip to which there may be connected the conductors leading to the circuit.
- the cast resin serves to protect the circuit against humidity and the soldered joints against shocks while protecting the arrangement against undesired access from the outside.
- the plug strip makes possible an easy insertion and exchange of the device.
- the control device shown therein comprises a main body 40 housing the elements of the circuit arrangement according to the present invention and forming an encapsulated unit by means of cast resin.
- the fuses 2, 23 of the circuit arrangement are arranged in recesses 49a of a lid which is detachably connected to main body 40 by means of a screw 44- while the required number of terminals 46 for connection with the various consumers is provided on top of main body 40.
- An additional housing 41 serving as indicating device is detachably connected to main body or housing 40 through the intervention of a multi-polar plug and socket arrangement 42, 43 which is so designed as to exclude an incorrect connection, for instance by making one hole 43a and the corresponding prong of the plug of greater diameter than the other holes and prongs.
- Indicating device 41 consists of two sections 47, 48 made of different material. Front section 47 is made of plexiglass whereas the rear section 48 is made of a non-transparent synthetic material such as polyvinyl chloride. Section 48 is provided with bores 49 corresponding in number to the number of control lamps. Between sections 47, 48 there is inserted a lettering strip 52.
- Front section 47 is provided with conical bores 50 which end shortly before the front surface of front section 47.
- conical bores 50 which end shortly before the front surface of front section 47.
- the control lamps are oblong and are located within the bores 49, 5i? and are fixedly held in their respective position by means of cast resin after contacts with the other elements have been effected.
- the additional body or indicating device 41 is divided at 51. This affords a possibility easily to distinguish between the left-hand side of the car and the right-hand side of the car.
- the letters A, F, S, R and B appearing in FIG. 5 on the right-hand side and on the left-hand side of indicating device 41 represent the low beam, high beam, park-light, tail-light and stop-light, respectively.
- the whole arrangement is of very small size.
- the main body 4% is preferably arranged at that place in a vehicle where customarily the box containing the fuses is arranged, whereas the indicating device 41 may be incorporated in the panel of the vehicle.
- the arrangement according to the invention yields the advantage that failures can be noticed also when the consumer circuits are not connected to a current source. This is particularly advantageous with the control of light circuits of motor vehicles inasmuch as failures can be noticed also during the standstill of the vehicle and at daylight, i.e. when the lights are turned off.
