Definitions
- ABSTRACT An electromagnetically-compensated balance of the type including load and reference compensation coils for returning load and reference assemblies to their neutral positions relative to the balance housing, characterized in that the reference compensation coil is connected in series with reference current regulating means to define a series branch that is connected at one end with one terminal of a direct-current voltage source. Electronic switch means alternately connect the other end of said series branch in series with, and disconnect said other end of said series branch from, said load compensation coil and said voltage source, respectively.
- the reference current regulating means are operable by a reference control voltage as a function of the displacement of the reference assembly from its neutral position
- the electronic switch means are operable by a load control voltage to effect series connection between said load and reference compensation coils for time periods that correspond with the displacement of the load assembly from its neutral position.
- Buffer means are provided for effecting a galvanic coupling between the load and reference coil switching circuits, and stabilizing meanssuch as a dummy load or a catching diode-are provided to; stabilizing the switching operation.
- This invention relates to load-compensation balances including load and reference assemblies independently suspended from a stationary part of the balance, each of the assemblies being provided with a compensation coil arranged in a common magnetic field.
- Detector means are provided for generating load and reference control signals the magnitudes of which are a function of the displacement of the load and reference assemblies from their initial neutral positions relative to the housing, respectively, said control signals being operable to regulate the currents flowing in said compensation coils, respectively.
- Such balances are of the type disclosed in the U.S. patents to Baur No. 3,322,222 and Stroebel No. 3,688,854.
- both the compensation coil of the reference assembly and also the compensation coil of the load assembly are fed by separate direct currents.
- the result if determined by the difference between the two currents being related to the current in the reference coil (as determined, for example, by a balanced-bridge network).
- the reference assembly movement is compensated by a constant direct current, position detector means being provided for detecting the position of the reference assembly to influence by way of correction coils the magnitude of the common magnetic field and thus indirectly the magnitude of the compensation current in the load coil.
- a primary object of the present invention is to provide an electromagnetically compensated balance including a reference compensation coil connected in series with reference current regulating means to define a series branch, and electronic switch means operable to alternately connect and disconnect this series branch, respectively, in series with a load compensation coil and a direct-current voltage source.
- the reference current regulating means are operable by a reference control voltage as a function of the displacement of the reference assembly from its normal neutral position
- the electronic switch means are operable by a load control voltage to effect series connection between said load and reference compensation coils for time periods that correspond with the displacement of the load assembly from its neutral position.
- a more specific object of the present invention is to provide an electromagnetically compensated balance of the type described above including buffer means arranged between the load and references compensation coils to form a galvanic coupling the amplification ratio of which is preferably lzl
- This arrangement has the advantage that the analog action control circuit of the reference assembly cannot be influenced by interference pulses from the circuit of the load assembly.
- a further object of the invention is to provide apparatus of the type described above including means for stabilizing the reference compensation coil circuit during the switching operation.
- the stabilizing means includes dummy load means to which the reference compensation coil circuit is connected during the periods when it is disconnected from the load compensation coil.
- the stabilizing means comprises a catching diode that connects the reference compensation coil with ground during the periods the reference compensation coil is disengaged from the load compensation coil.
- the electronic switch means connects the load coil in series with the reference coil for time periods that correspond with the magnitude of the control voltage developed by the load position detector means, which control voltage is a function of the displacement of the load assembly from the neutral position.
- the same oscillator means that develops a sawtooth waveform for operating a pulse length modulator that controls the operation of the electronic switch means provides also counting pulses that are supplied to a counter during the time period that the load coil is connected in series with the reference coil.
- the balance includes counter and indicator means which during the duration of the flow of compensation current in the load coil utilizes high frequency pulses of constant frequency for digital indication or evaluation.
- This method permits rapid and precise determination of the measuring value, with virtually any degree of resolution.
- the arrangement is such that only one oscillator is used for supplying the counting pulses and also for controlling the pulse length modulator and the switching means.
- the requirements made as to the stability of frequency of the oscillator do not have to be high, as fluctuations act in the same manner on the respective predetermined counting time as on the number of counted pulses.
- the counter is a forward-reverse counter and there is provided a taring means which includes a forward-reverse logic circuit associated with the forward-reverse counter, a tare storage means and a zero detector, and a counter control means for controlling the above mentioned components, and a tare switch.
- FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic cross-sectional view a first embodiment of the electromagnetically compensated balance of the present invention, the electrical circuit being illustrated in block diagram form;
- FIG. 2 is a voltage versus time diagram illustrating the operation of the pulse length modulator
- FIG. 3 is a detailed schematic diagram of the buffer means of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is an electrical schematic diagram of a second embodiment of the invention.
- the balance comprises a stationary portion 1 including a housing 2 which is made of magnetic material and is closed on all sides, and a permanent magnet 3 arranged centrally in the housing 2.
- the housing 2 is secured by means of an annular flange 4 to a cantilever bracket 5 which in turn is fixedly connected with a column 6 that is carried by a fixed support.
- the middle portion 7 of the permanent magnet 3 forms an annular air gap 9.
- the annular load coil 10 which is a component of a load assembly 12 of the balance
- the annular reference coil 11 which is a component of a reference assembly 13.
- the load assembly 12 and the reference assembly 13 are each connected with the column 6, and thus guided parallel to each other, by two pairs of resilient suspension means 14 and 14' and 15 and 15', respectively.
- a plurality of apertures 16 and 16 in the upper and lower end portions respectively of the housing 2 permit free vertical movement of the load assembly 12 and the reference assembly 13.
- a balance pan 17 is arranged above the suspension means 14 of the load assembly 12, and secured thereto, for carrying the material to be weighed.
- capacitors 18 and 18', 19 and 19' Arranged concentrically in pairs above and below the air gap 9 and symmetrically relative thereto, are four stationary annular capacitors 18 and 18', 19 and 19', respectively.
- the capacitors l8 and 18 act as position detectors in respect of the reference assembly 13.
- the negative terminal of the direct-current voltage source S is connected with the input terminal of change-over switch means 23 via current regulator means 21, reference compensation coil 11 and buffer means 22 (which includes at least one field effect transistor), thereby defining a first series branch.
- the switch means 23 alternately connects this series branch with the positive terminal of the source via dummy load 24 and the load compensation coil 10, respectively.
- the reference assembly 13 is returned to the neutral position.
- the compensation current is passed by way of buffer means 22 to an electronic switch means 23 from which it can flow alternately to the load coil 10 or to a dummy load 24.
- the buffer means 22 has a low input impedance and a high output impedance. It has an amplification ratio of 1:1 and forms a galvanic coupling between the switching circuits of the load assembly 12 and the reference assembly 13. This arrangement has the advantage that the analog action control circuit of the reference assembly cannot be influenced by interference pulses from the circuit of the load assembly.
- the compensation current in the load coil 10 is controlled as follows. Upon deflection of the load assembly 12 out of the neutral position, for example under the weight of the material to be weighed, the two capacitors l8 and 18' produce a difference signal which is converted by difference signal generating means 25 and passed to current regulating means 26. The control voltage produced therein is applied to a pulse length modulator 27 which in turn is controlled by a quartz oscillator 28 having a frequency divider 29 connected downstream thereof. As shown in FIG. 2, in the pulse length modulator 27, a sawtooth voltage is continuously compared with the control voltage from the regulator 26.
- One output of the pulse length modulator 27 leads to a switch control means in the form of a flip-flop 30 which, in conjunction with the second input from the oscillator 28, controls the switching times of the switch means 23, to provide a flow of current to the load coil 10 or to the dummy load 24.
- the operation of the pulse length modulator 27 for varying the lengths of the pulses in accordance with the magnitude of the control voltage Vc (FIG. 2) is disclosed in greater detail in the copending Kunz application Ser. No. 222,960 filed Feb. 2, 1972 and the Naydan et al U.S. Pat. No. 3,028,550.
- the weight, which is constant, of the reference assembly 13 is 200 g., while that of the load assembly 12 (without material to be weighed) is 400 g.
- the weighing range selected is l,200 g., with an excess range (reserve) of 400 g.; the total possible weight which can be compensated of the load assembly is therefore 2,000 g.
- the ratio of the coil windings is selected as l:l0, corresponding to the ration of the weight of the reference assembly l3 and the total possible weight of the load assembly 12, therefore the same rated current results in both coils at maximum load.
- the frequency of the oscillator 28 is 10 MHz.
- the full value which serves as a counting frequency, acts on the flip-flop 30 and also a gate 31 and an auxiliary logic means forming a counter control means 32.
- the divider 29 reduces the oscillator frequency in the ratio 1120,000; pulse length modulator 27 connected downstream of the divider 29 therefore receives a pulse every 2 ms, which pulse returns the sawtooth voltage to zero and allows it to rise again, and after transmission by way of the flip-flop 30, switches the switch means 23 to pass the compensation current to the load coil 10.
- the gate 31 is opened and counting pulses from the oscillator 28 are allowed to pass to act on a counter 33.
- a second divider 34 which again reduces the frequency, this time in the ratio 1:100, and thus delivers a pulse to the counter control means 32 every 0.2 s, which pulse causes the condition of the counter 33 to be transmitted to an indication storage means 35 from which it passes to an indicator 36 (and at the same time to a binary coded decimal output 37). After the condition of the counter 33 has been transmitted, the counter 33 is set to zero.
- the details of the counter and indicator means including the counter control means 32 are set forth in the copending Allenspach US. application Ser. No. 244,054 filed Apr. 14, 1972, and assigned to the assignee of the instant application.
- tare storage means 38 there is connected in parallel with the indication storage means 35 a tare storage means 38, while there is also provided a forward-reverse logic circuit 39, a manually operable tare switch 40 which is connected to the counter control means 32, and a zero detector 41.
- tare switch 40 When weighing with tare, after the tare switch 40 is actuated the value resulting from the tare weighing operation is also accommodated in the tare storage means 38. In subsequent weighing operations, the value of the tare storage means 38 is introduced into the counter 33 at the beginning of each weighing operation.
- the forward reverse logic circuit 39 causes the counter 33 to count backwards, that is to say, the counting pulses entering therein are subtracted from the tare weight until the zero detector 41 signals that zero has been reached. This signal passes to the forward-reverse logic circuit 39 which then causes the counter 33 again to count in the forward direction.
- the number of pulses passing into the counter 33 is equal to the number of pulses stored in the tare storage means 38; at the end of the measuring cycle of 0.2 s, the counter 33 has therefore reached zero, and this result is stored in the indication storage means 35 and is indicated at the indicator 36 and the binary coded decimal output 37.
- the number of counting pulses passing into the counter 33 is greater (or lower respectively) than the number of pulses stored in the tare storage means 38.
- the excess (or deficit respectively) is indicated in the indication storage means 35 at the end of the measuring cycle and for the duration of the next measuring cycle.
- the dead load of the balance can also be taken into account, in the above described manner.
- the dead load is eliminated from the indication.
- the weight of the reference assembly 13 is compensated with direct current which flows continuously through the coil 11 while the weight of the load assembly 12 is compensated with direct current which flows through the coil 10 only intermittently, in the form of pulses of relatively short duration (less than 2ms), the amplitude of the two currents being identical.
- the overall arrangement is a real mass comparison device of high precision and with direct digital indication of high resolution, but which does not require highly stable reference voltage sources or other expensive components such as digital voltmeters.
- the frequency of the oscillator 28 also does not have to be particularly stable, as fluctuations act in the same manner both on the length of the compensation current pulses supplied to the load coil 10 and on the measuring time.
- the electronic switch means 23' (which is illustrated schematically in the form of a single pole switch) merely connects and disconnects from the load compensation coil 10 the series branch including reference current regulator means 21', reference compensation coil 11, and buffer means 22.
- the connection between buffer means 22' and switch means 23' is connected with ground via catching diode D, whereby a lower leakage power is achieved.
