BEL DON L. RICH BY I Il hll F ATTORNEYS REVERSING SWITCHACTUATOR F OR FLUID MOTOR I BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is known to provide a radially movable switch actuating rod' engaged by a piston as the latter approaches the end of its stroke but because of the side load or bending load on the rod exerted by axial movement of the piston into engagement with loads when the rod is being moved radially outwardly by the piston, the rod then being exposed to low pressure on the return side of the motor.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is a principal object of this invention to provide a simple and efficient form of'switch actuator for a fluid motor in which a relatively large diameter ball is engaged by the piston, the ball being engaged with the plane face of a spring follower which transmits the ball motion to a small diameter switch actuating rod. Because the ball engages a plane face of the large diameter follower there is no alignment problem of the ball guide bore with the actuator rod guide bore. Another characterizing feature of this invention is that as the ball is engaged by the piston it tends to be moved axially but there is, in addition, a tendency to rotate the ball so as not to impose an axial or side load on the radially movable spring follower and switch actuator rod.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent as'the following-description proceeds.
BRIEF DESCRIPTIONOF THE DRAWING DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In FIG. 1 is shown a schematic piping and wiring diagram of the left the right-hand switch 5 will be opened but the reversing valve 4 will remain in the actuated position and as the piston 8 approaches the end of its left-hand stroke, the left-hand switch 5 will be closed to energize the left-hand solenoid 9 so as to shift the valve 4 to the position shown in FIG. 1 thereby to conduct fluid under pressure again into the rod end 6 with the displaced fluid being conducted to the reservoir 2 via valve 4. 7
Because both switches 5 and actuating mechanisms therefor are of substantially identical construction, except for the diameters of the cam rod 11 and cam sleeve 12 on opposite sides of the piston 8, only one of the switches 5 and switch actuating mechanisms have been illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the cylinder head 7 is provided with'an axial bore 14 into which the piston cam rod 11 loosely extends as e the piston 8 moves to the right. The cylinder head 7 also has a a fluid motor control system for effecting automatic reversal.
of a double acting fluid motor 1 of the piston-cylinder type. The reference numeral 2 denotes a fluid reservoir from which the pump 3 draws fluid for supplying fluid under pressure into either the rod end or the head end of the motor 1 via a solenoid operated reversing 'valve 4. Switches 5;5 are mounted on the respective cylinder heads 6 and 7 and are adapted to be closed by the movement of the piston 8 toward the respective heads 6 and 7 to energize the respective solenoids 9 and 10 for effecting operation of the reversing valve 4 so as to cause movement of the piston 8 in the opposite direction.
For example, when the piston 8 is moving to the right, the reversing valve 4 is in the position shown whereby fluid under pressure is conducted into the rod end 6 of the cylinder 1 and the fluid displaced from the head end 7 of the cylinder is conducted through the reversing valve. 4 into the reservoir 2. As the piston 8 approaches the righthand end of its stroke, the right-hand switch 5 is closed to energize the right-hand solenoid 10 whereby the valve 4 is shifted so that fluid under pressure is now conducted into the head end 7 of the cylinder while the fluid displaced from the rod end 6 is conducted through the valve 4 to the reservoir 2. As the piston 8 moves to radial bore 15 in which is seated a ball guide ring 16 which has a ball seat 17 which determines the radially innermost position of the ball 18 as shown in FIG. 3 so as to be in the path of movement of the piston cam rod 11.
Screwed into the radial bore 15 is a switch retainer 19 which is sealed in the bore as by means of the packing ring 20, and which has a threaded upper end extending through an opening in the switch box 21, the latter containing the limit switch 5 having its switch plunger 23 disposed for movement coaxially with the axis of the retainer 19. The switch box 21 is securely mounted on the cylinder head 7 as by means of the lock nut 24 which is threaded onto the upper end portion of the retainer 19.
Compressed between the switch retainer 19 and a spring follower 25 which has a plane radially inner face engaged with the radially outermost portion of the ball 18 is a spring 26 which yieldably holds the ball 18 in its seat 17 so that the radially inner portion of the ball 18 is disposed for engagement by the piston cam rod 11.
The radial movement of the ball 18 and follower 25 istransmitted to the switch plunger 23 for closing the contacts (not shown) in switch 5 through a small diameter actuating rod 27 which may be press fitted or otherwise secured to the spring follower 25 and which has a close sliding fit in a central bore in the switch retainer 19. The actuator rod 27 is slidably sealed in the bore in retainer 19 as by means of an O-ring 28.
As an example, in a 3,000 psi. cylinder 1 in which 1/16- inch radial movement of the ball 18, follower 25, and actuator rod 27 is, desired, a 3/8-inch diameter ball 18 has been found satisfactory with an actuating rod 27 of about l/l6-inch diameter. Thus, the spring 26 needs only exert about a 10 pound radial inward force to prevent radial outward movement of the actuator rod 27 under the influence of 3,000 psi. pressure.
The ball seat 17 is as shown provided with a leakage slot 29 so that the ball 18 and follower 25 will be pressure balanced so that only the effective, area of the small actuating rod 27 is acted upon by the high pressure. The upper end of the actuating rod 27 may be provided with a plastic or like switch engaging button 30.
As shown in FIG. 3, as the piston cam rod 11 moves to the right near the end of the stroke of the piston 8, it initially contacts the ball 18 at 31 to apply axial and radial forces thereon which will tend to shift the ball 18 toward the right and upward away from the seat 17 as the movement of the piston cam rod 11 continues. However, such forces also tend to cause rotation of the ball 18 in the direction of the arrow thus to tend to negate the side load transmitted to the follower 25 and slender rod 27.
Another feature of the present invention is that because the ball 18 has contact with a plane face of the follower 25, the ball guide bore in ring 16 and the actuator rod guide bore in retainer 19 need not be perfectly concentric. In other words, any eccentricity of these guide bores does not cause any binding action which would interfere with movement of the ball 18 or rod 27 in their respective guide bores.
