Definitions

  • An anticoincidence circuit is disclosed herein for use in preventing energization of first and second loads by a common voltage source upon concurrent actuation of first and second actuatable switching means respectively associated with the loads.
  • the anticoincidence circuit includes a pair of normally deenergized static element load switching means, such as triacs, each having load terminals for respectively connecting a first and a second load and an associated actuatable switching means with a common voltage source.
  • a pair of static element load control circuits are provided, each having a normal first condition and a second condition in response to whether an actuation of an associated actuatable switching means has occurred.
  • a common static element control circuit responds to the condition of the static element load control circuit for purposes of controlling energization of the load switching means in such a manner that neither of the loads is energized when both of the actuatable switching means are concurrently actuated.
  • This invention relates to the art of load control circuits and, more particularly, to an anticoincidence load control circuit for connecting one of a plurality of loads to a common voltage source.
  • the invention is particularly applicable for connecting one of two alternating current voltage loads across an alternating current voltage source so that only one load is energized by the source at any one time, and the invention will be described with particular reference thereto; although, it will be appreciated that the invention has broader applications.
  • intersection traffic signal controllers serve to control switching means for connecting both main street and cross street traflic signal go light across a common alternating current voltage source. It is important for traffic safety that both the main street and the cross street go lights are not concurrently energized. Accordingly, anticoincidence failsafe circuitry is desirable to prevent energization of either of the go lights upon a coincidence in the actuation of both switching means which might cause connection of both go lights to the common voltage source for energization thereby. Such a coincidence might result, for example, from a malfunction in the operation of the trafiic signal controller.
  • Anticoincidence circuitry known heretofore for preventing the occurrence of a plurality of loads from being concurrently energized by a common voltage source have taken the form of banks of electromechanical relays.
  • Such circuits include a large number of moving parts, i.e., relay contacts, which exhibit relatively short operating lifetimes, necessitating frequent maintenance. Since a traffic signal controller normally operates on a twenty-four hour a day basis throughout each year, it is desirable that the controller, as well as an anticoinice cidence circuit associated therewith, operate with minimum maintenance requirements.
  • the present invention is directed toward an anticoincidence circuit employing static logic control elements so that the circuit is relatively maintenance free, thereby overcoming the noted disadvantages, as well as others, of anticoincidence circuits known heretofore.
  • the anticoincidence circuit contemplates the provision of a load control circuit having at least first and second selectively actuatable switching means for respectively connecting first and second loads with a common voltage source.
  • the anticoincidence circuit comprises first and second static element load switching means respectively associated with the first and second loads for, upon energization, completing an energizing circuit between the associated load and its selectively actuatable switching means and the source; first and second static element load control means associated with the first and second loads, with each control means having a normal first condition and a second condition in response to actuation of the associated actuatable switching means; and, common static element control means responsive to the condition of the first and second control means for controlling energization of the first and second load switching means in such a manner that one of the load switching means is energized when its associated load control means is in its second condition to thereby energize its associated load, and that neither of the load switching means is energized when both their associated load control means are concurrently in their second conditions.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to provide a static element anticoincidence circuit for preventing concurrent energization of a plurality of loads by a common voltage source.
  • the anti-coincidence circuit employs solid state, static elements in the form of semiconductors which consome low power and, hence, are economical in operation.
  • the single figure is a schematic circuit diagram illustrating the preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the anticoincidence circuit generally comprises: a load A static element control circuit and a load B static element control circuit D; a common static element control circuit E comprising a NOR circuit F, a gating circuit G and an oscillator circuit H; a coupling transformer T1; and, a pair of static element load switching circuits including circuit I associated with load A and circuit J associated with load B.

  • Base B1 is connected to ground through a primary winding 60 on transformer T and base B2 is connected to a B+ voltage supply source through a resistor 62.
  • Emitter 58 is connected to ground through a timing capacitor 64 and to collector 48 of transistor 44 through a timing resistor 66.
  • Static load switching circuits Static load switching circuits I and I have their input circuits coupled with the output circuit of oscillator circuit H through secondary windings 68 and 70, respecively, on coupling transformer T.
  • the internal circuitry of circuits I and J is substantially identical, and, accordingly, only circuit I will be described hereinafter in detail, like components in both circuits being identified in the single drawing with like reference numerals.
  • Circuit I generally comprises a silicon controlled rectifier 72, a full wave bridge rectifier circuit 74 and a bidirectional semiconductive device 76.
  • the semiconductive device 76 serves as a static switch for switching alternating current loads and may, for example, take the form of General Electric Companys SC40B device.
  • this device is substantially the equivalent of two silicon controlled rectifiers, each having an anode, a cathode and a gate, and which are connected together in parallel but poled oppositely from each other, i.e;, with the anode of one rectifier being connected with the cathode of the other rectifier, and with the two gates being connected in common.
  • Silicon controlled rectifier 72 includes a gate 78 and a cathode 80 connected across secondary winding 68 on transformer T.
  • the anode 82 of rectifier 72 together with cathode 80 are respectively connected across terminals 84 and 86 of bridge circuit 74.
  • the bridge circuit 74 includes four rectifier diodes 88, 90, 92 and 94, poled as shown in the single drawing.
  • Terminals 84 and 86 are respectively connected to the junction of the cathodes of rectifiers 88 and 92 and to the junction of the anodes of rectifiers and 94.
  • Terminals 84 and 86 may be termed as the input circuit of bridge circuit 74.
  • the output circuit of bridge circuit 74 is taken across terminals 96 and 98.
  • Terminals 96 and 98 are respectively connected to the junction of the anode and cathode of rectifiers 88 and 90 and to the junction of the anode and cathode of rectifiers 92 and 94.
  • Terminal 96 is connected through a resistor 100 to the junction of one side 102 of the bidirectional, semiconductive device 76 and actuatable switch S1.
  • Terminal 98 is connected to the gate 104 on the other side 106 of the semiconductive device 76.
  • Load A is connected across voltage source V upon actuation of switch S1 through the bidirectional static switching device 76 of circuit I.
  • load B is connected across voltage source V upon actuation of actuatable switch S2 through the static alternating current voltage switch 76 of circuit J.
  • selectively actuatable switches S1 and S2 areillustrated as normally open, manually actuatable switches.
  • switches S1 and S2 may take the form of relay contacts of load relays, or they may be transistors. These switches are normally actuated by a master control circuit, such as a traflic controller, for purposes of energizing loads A and B by alternating curcent voltage source V.
  • loads A and B may, for example, take the form of light filaments of go lights of traffic signals.
  • transistors 10 in circuit C and circuit D' are reversed biased. Accordingly, forward biasing potential from the B+ voltage supply source in circuit C or circuit D is applied to base 34 of transistor 36 in NOR circuit F. Thus, transistor 36 is normally conductive, whereby a 0 signal is present at its output circuit, i.e., at collector 40. This 0 signal is applied to base 52 of transistor 44 in gating circuit G through resistor 54. Accordingly, transistor 44 is reversed biased and a 1 signal is present at its output circuit, i.e., at collector 48.
  • the 1 signal on the output circuit of gating circuit G is applied to the input circuit of oscillator circuit H.
  • capacitor 64 charges toward the value of the B+ voltage supply source through resistors 50 and 66, and when the voltage stored by the capacitor and, hence, the voltage appearing on emitter 58 of unijunction transistor 56, attains a level equal to the peak point voltage of the transistor, the transistor becomes forward biased.
  • Capacitor 64 discharges through the emitter 58 to base B1 of transistor 56, developing a positive potential signal across load winding 60. Transistor 56 then ceases to conduct and capacitor 64 again commences to charge toward the B+ voltage supply source.
  • the components of the oscillator H are preferably chosen to provide a pulse frequency on the order of 1,000 cycles per second. This may be referred to as a frequency signal which has a duration corresponding with the 1 signal applied to the input circuit of the oscillator.
  • the transformer T offers a measure of isolation between the oscillator circuit H and the load switching circuits I and I.
  • alternating current voltage from source V is applied to the input circuit of control circuit C.
  • the alternating current voltage is rectified by diode rectifier 24 and smoothed by capacitor 28 and applied as a positive forward biasing potential to base 12 of transistor 10. Accordingly, transistor is forward biased and conductive so that a ground potential, i.e., a 0 signal exists on its output circuit, taken at collector 14. But, transistor 36 in gating circuit F continues to conduct since transistor 10 in circuit D is still reversed biased. Accordingly, oscillator circuit H continues to develop a frequency signal at its output circuit. This signal provides forward biasing potential for gate 78 of rectifier 72 in circuits I and J, as described hereinbefore.
  • anode 82 of rectifier 72 in circuit I does not receive positive voltage from source V since switch S2 is open and, accordingly, circuit J remains nonconductive. Since, however, switch S1 is closed, current flows from source V to circuit I. During the positive half cycle of the alternating current voltage, current flows through switch S1, resistor 100 and through the anode to cathode circuit of rectifier 88 ,to provide positive voltage on the anode 82 of rectifier 72. Since the frequency of source V is 60 cycles per second and the frequency of oscillator H is on the order of 1,000 cycles per second, rectifier 72 is gated into conduction substantially upon closure of switch S1.
  • device 76 is gated into conduction and current flows during the positive half cycle from source V through device 76, from side 102 .to side 106, i.e., through the equivalent of one silicon controlled rectifier from that rectifiers anode to cathode circuit, and thence from side 106 through load A and back to source V.
  • cathode of rectifier 72 is rendered negative with respect to anode 82 through a circuit including the anode to cathode circuit of rectifier diode 90, terminal 96 and, thence, through resistor and now closed switch S1 to source V.
  • rectifier 72 is gated into conduction substantially upon commencement of the negative half cycle of source V.
  • Current flows through diode rectifier 92 through the anode to cathode circuit of rectifier 72, the anode to cathode resistor 100, closed switch S1, to source V.
  • This current path provides sufiicient gating potential at gate 104 to gate device 76 into conduction, whereupon current flows from source V through load A and, thence, from side 106 to side 102 of device 76, i. e., through the anode to cathode circuit of the equivalent second silicon controlled rectifier within device 76, and, thence, through switch S1 to source V.
  • switch S1 upon actuation of switch S1, semiconductive switching device 76 is gated into conduction so as to switch alternating current voltage source V across load A.
  • switch S1 in its nonactuated position, as shown in the single drawing, actuation of switch S2 will result in a forward biasing gating potential applied to gate 104 of semi-conductive switching device 72 in circuit J to switch source V across load B.
  • switches S1 and S2 may result from, for example, a malfunction in the operation of a master control circuit, not shown, that controls the operation of switches S1 and S2.
