- ABSTRACT A speed regulating arrangement for internal combustion engines in which an electrical pulse generator is coupled to the crankshaft of the engine and is operated in accordance with the engine speed.
- the pulse generator applies its output to an electronic speed regulating circuit which, in turn, operates an electromagnet having a rotatable armature.
- the throttle flap of the engine is coupled to the armature and positioned in accordance with the signal output from the electronic speed regulating circuit.
- the latter has a series circuit of a monostable stage, a low pass filter, a regulating stage and a power amplifier.
- the present invention relates to a speed regulating arrangement for an internal combustion engine used to drive a load.
- a load driven by the engine are water pumps, electrical generators, motorizedsaws for power saws, floor scrapers, etc. With such driven apparatus it is required that the speed of the internal combustion engine remain constant even though the load varies. Thus, the water pressure should be independent of the quantity flow rate of the pump, and
- the output voltage of the generator should be independent of the magnitude of the current and the cutting speed of the power saw should be independent of the length of the cut and independent from the applied pressure.
- the floor scraper or ground digging apparatus should dig uniformly and independent of the depth of operation. Considerable further examples of this type are also possible.
- centrifugal regulators are known in the art for purposes of speed regulation. These centrifugal regulators are used to actuate the throttle flap of an internal combustion engine.
- the mechanical centrifugal regulators have three distinct disadvantages: one disadvantage is that they are relatively heavy and are therefore not adapted for portable power saws.
- the second disadvantage of the centrifugal regulator is that they have a large regulating time constant, and as a result, when the regulators are used in conjunction with electrical generators or water pumps, the electrical voltage or water pressure varies too much when the load varies rapidly.
- the third disadvantage resides on the basis that upon load variations, a proportional speed change is obtained. 2
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement which is reliable in operation and may be readily fabricated.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement of the foregoing character which may be easily installed in internal combustion engines.
- the objects of the present invention are achieved by providing a pulse generator connected to the crankshaft of the engine and synchronously driven in accordance with the speed of the engine.
- the output of the pulse generator is applied to an input of an electronic speed regulator which, in turn, operates an electromagnet with a rotatable armature.
- the rotatable armature positions the throttle flap of the engine.
- a particularly advantageous arrangement, in accordance with the present invention, is achieved when the electronic speed regulator has a series circuit consisting of a monostable multivibrator or monostable switching stage, a low pass filter, a regulating stage, and a power amplifier.
- the throttle flap When the throttle flap is to be actuated electromechanically, it is necessary to provide a rotatable armature which has a substantially constant torque over a relatively large angle of rotation of approximately This feature is attained in a further embodiment of the present invention by providing that the rotatable armature is in the form of a segment armature which has rounded recesses for increasing the torque in the initial or end position of the armature.

- FIG. 7 is a circuit diagram of a correction applying stage used in conjunction with the circuitry of FIG. 6.
- FIG. I shows an internal combustion engine with a cylinder 12 and a crankshaft housing 13.
- the internal combustion engine drives a centrifugal pump 23, with an extension of its crankshaft 14.
- the centrifugal pump 23 is secured or mounted fixedly to the chassis l 1, similar to the internal combustion engine.
- the crankshaft housing 13, furthermore, carries an ignition generator 15 on the side of the housing 13 which is opposite to that facing the centrifugal pump 23.
- the ignition generator 15 supplies power to a spark plug 17, by way of a cable 18, and to an electronic regulator 24, through an interconnecting cable 25.
- the ignition generator 15 is penetrated by a second extension of the crankshaft 14.
- This extension has, at its end, a pulley 16 which can drive about for the purpose of turning over or starting the engine.
- a pulley 16 Connected to the cylinder 12, furthermore, is an intake manifold or suction intake 21 a gas applying unit 19, a throttle flap and an air filter 22.
- the throttle flap is not shown in the drawing. This throttle flap becomes actuated through a rotatable armature magnet 20, which receives voltage from an electronic regulator 24, through the interconnecting cable 26.
- the rotatable armature electromagnet 20 is shown without a housing, in FIG. 2.
- This electromagnet consists essentially of a U-shaped core 31 which carries two coils or windings 34 on the poles or arms of the core.
- a rotatable armature 36 is rotatable in cooperation with the arms of the core.

- Two mounting holes 33 are provided for mounting the electromagnet to the gas applying housing 19.
- the gas applying unit 19 may be in the form of, for example, the conventional carburetor.
- the arms of the core 31 have circularshaped recesses on their inner surfaces for the purpose of accommodating the armature 36. Directly above the circular recesses, the arms of the core 31 have further circular-shaped recesses 35, and inclined surfaces 42 lie directly below the recesses within which the rotatable armature 36 is movable. The recesses 35 and the inclined surfaces 42 serve the purpose of reducing the stray magnetic flux. As may be seen from FIG. 3, the core 31 is particularly well adapted for mass production. The core laminations 31, lie directly against each other when they are stamped, and only very small waste pieces 39 are incurred.
- FIG. 4 shows a circular armature 36a which is rotatably mounted upon an axle 37 and is shown, in FIG. 4, in a position corresponding to its maximum angular rotation.
- This armature has two wedged-shaped recesses 38a.

- the capacitor 54 connected in parallel with the Zener diode 53, is an electrolytic capacitor.
- the pulse shaping stage 60 is connected to both end terminals of the generator winding 49, through the two diodes 61 and 62.
- the pulse shaping stage has a series circuit including a resistor 63, a differentiating capacitor 65, and a diode 67. From the junction between the resistor 63 and the capacitor 65, leads a resistor 64.
- a diode 66 is connected between the negative voltage 4 supply line 56 and the junction between the capacitor and the diode 67.
- the monostable multivibrator 70 includes two transistors 71 and 72 having their emitters directly connected to the minus voltage supply line 56. The collectors of these two transistors lead, through respective resistors 73 and 74, to the positive voltage supply line 55.
- the collector of the first transistor 71 is capacitively coupled, through a capacitor 75 to the base of the second transistor 72.
- the collector of the second transistor 72 is galvanically connected, through a resistor 76, with the base of the first transistor 71.
- a resistor 77 furthermore, is connected between the base of the first transistor 71 and the minus voltage supply line 56.
- a resistor 78 is connected between the base of the transistor 72 and the positive voltage supply line 55.
- the low pass filter is in the form of a series circuit of two resistors 81 and 82.
- An electrolytic capacitor 83 is connected between the negative voltage supply line 56, and the junction between these two resistors 81 and
- the regulating stage includes, as its active component, an operational amplifier 91.
- the negative input to the amplifier 91 is connected first to the output of the low pass filter 80, secondly to a terminal 98, and thirdly to an adjustable speed-selecting means, here a resistor 97, which has one terminal of its winding connected to the negative voltage supply line 56.
- the other or uninverted input to the operational amplifier 91 corresponding to the positive input, is connected to the junction of two resistors 94 and 95 forming a voltage divider.
- the output of the operational amplifier 91 is connected, through a resistor 96 with the positive voltage supply line 55.
- a series circuit, furthermore, including a capacitor 93 and adjustable resistor 92, is connected between the output of the amplifier 91 and the negative or inverted input of the amplifier.
- the power amplifier or electromagnetic control means 100 contains a modified Darlington circuit with a transistor 101 and a power transistor 102.
- the emitters of the two transistors are each connected to one terminal of a resistor 104.
- the coil 34 of the rotatable armature electromagnet 20, is connected between the emitter of the power transistor 102, and the negative voltage supply line 56.
- the base of the transistor 101 is connected, through a resistor 103, to the output of the regulating stage 90.
- FIG. 7 shows the circuit diagram of an error correcting stage which has its output connected to the terminal 98 of the regulating stage 90.
- a current transformer 112. At the input of the error correcting state is a current transformer 112.
- the 5 terminals 111 of the primary winding of this current transformer 112 are connected to the output of an electrical generator which is driven by the internal combustion engine.
- the secondary winding of the current transformer 112 is connected across a trimming potentiometer 113.
- a rectifying bridge of the Graetz design is connected between the sliding contact of the trimming potentiometer 113 and one terminal of the winding of this potentiometer.
- the positive output of the rectifying bridge 114 is connected to the negative voltage supply line 56.
- the negative output of the rectifying bridge 114 is connected to an electrolytic capacitor 115, which is connected parallel with a resistor 116.
- the capacitor 115 and resistor 116 have each one terminal connected to the negative voltage Since the speed regulating arrangement, in accordance with the present invention is also to be used in smaller internal combustion engines which do not possess a light generator, a separate generator winding 49 is required, which is held within the ignition generator 15.
- the built-in magnetic ring and the ignition generator 15 induces, through its rotation, a voltage within the ignition winding as well as in the auxiliary generator winding 49.
- the ignition winding itself is not adapted to supply current for the speed regulating arrangement itself, because the form as well as the ignition instant of the ignition pulse would be influenced in a disadvantageous manner thereby.
- the generator winding 49 supplies the voltage for the speed regulating arrangement, and at the same time, the control pulse for the monostable multivibrator 70.
- the generator winding 49 is thereby constructed so that it has a relatively high internal impedance.
- the generator winding will provide, when not under load, an alternating voltage exceeding 100 volts.
- the voltage increases within a few milliseconds, after passing through zero, to the level of approximately volts, determined by the Zener diode 53. In view of the high internal impedance of the generator winding 49, no resistor is required in front of the Zener diode 53.
- the pulse shaping stage 60 has the task of differentiating the output pulses of the generator winding 49, for the purpose of creating steeper control pulses or actuating pulses for the monostable multivibrator 70.
- the output pulses of the generator winding 49 are not of sinusoidal form, since the magnet for the ignition generator is designed so that the steepest possible pulses result in the ignition winding.
- the two diodes 66 and 67 provide for the feature that only positive control pulses are applied the monostable multivibrator circuit 70.
- the negative pulses are short-circuited to the negative voltage supply line 56.
- the resistors 63 and 64 form a voltage divider for the output pulses of the generator winding 49.
- a monostable multivibrator 70 produces, in the conventional manner, rectangular-shaped pulses of definite duration, from the output pulses of the generator winding 49.
- the pulse repetition frequency of these rectangular-shaped pulses is equal to the frequency of the input pulses.
- the low pass filter forms the time average of the output voltage of the monostable multivibrator 70, and provides thereby at its output a DC voltage which has a level proportional to the pulse repetition frequency of the monostable multivibrator 70.
- the regulating stage has the task to compare this DC output voltage with an adjustable input voltage signal, and to increase the opening of the throttle flap with the aid of the rotatable armature magnet 20, when the speed is below the desired input speed. The reverse situation takes place, and the throttle flap opening is reduced when the desired input speed is exceeded.
- an adjustable resistor 97 is provided in accordance with the examplary embodiment described above. This resistor 97 serves to load the output of the low pass filter 80. The throttle flap is increased in its opening, when the output voltage of the operational amplifier 91 becomes more positive.
- the input voltage of the negative or inverted input of this amplifier must, therefore, be below the input voltage of the positive input or non-inverting input of the amplifier.
- the negative or inverting input of the amplifier is lower for a predetermined or given output actual speed, when the resistor 97 has a lower set resistance. Accordingly, it-is possible to attain a higher desired speed by setting the resistor 97 to a lower resistance value.
- the desired input setting is carried out with the resistor 97 omitted.
- a potentiometer is provided in place of the resistors 94 and furthermore. The desired input value can then be applied through the voltage on the non-inverting input or positive input of the amplifier.
- the operational amplifier 91 is in the form of a regulator which has a regulating characteristic determined through the resistor 92, and which has a proportional component of response.
- the capacitor 93 also serves to apply an integral component for the regulating characteristics, whereby variations in the speed are integrated and delayed before applying to the power amplifier 100. With this arrangement, overshoot of the speed is considerably reduced or avoided. In addition, it is possible to fully smooth out or compensate against speed variations resulting from load changes, in contrast to the action obtainable from centrifugal regulators.
- a DC voltage which is proportional to the speed of the engine is applied to the inverting input of a regulating amplifier which has its output voltage applied directly, without further inversion, to the coil 34 of the electromagnet with rotatable armature.
- the proportional section of the regulating arrangement operates more rapidly than the conventional mechanical centrifugal regulators.
- the current converter 1 12 provides a DC voltage having a magnitude proportional to the intensity of the current in the primary winding. This DC voltage is supplied through the rectifying bridge 114 and filter 115, 116, to the capacitor. When the current intensity varies rapidly in the positive direction, then the differentiating capacitor 117 transmits a negative voltage pulse to the terminal 98, and thereby to the inverting input of the operational amplifier 91. As a result, the throttle flap is rapidly increased in opening, through the coil 34. With the use of three phase generators, it is possible to introduce a separate correction into each phase, and to sum the voltage pulses at the terminal 98.
- the functional operation of the rotatable armature shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, is based on the condition that the width of the air gap between the rotatable armature and the core is dependent upon the angle of rotation, or the position of the rotatable armature. Another condition is that the outer border or surface of the rotatable armature is not of circular shape, but is instead of spiral shape.
- the rotatable armature provides a constant torque over a relatively large rotational angle, as approximately 90, at constant magnetic field intensity, for resetting the rotatable armature a spring with linear spring characteristics is used, and as a result a linear increase in the rotational angle is achieved as a function of control current.
- the torque is to maintain its maximum value of its entire rotatable or positionable region of the armature.
- the stray magnetic flux must be retained as small as possible.
- the recesses 38a in the circular armature 38b in the segment armature as well as the recesses 35 and 42 of the core cooperate with the respective recessees as may be seen in FIG. 2.
- the circular armature in accordance with FIG. 4 has, for example, a maximum rotational angle of 120 for a core width of 60. By further reducing the core width, even larger rotational angles are possible.
- segment armature resides in the condition that for equal magnetic field intensity, the torque is greater.
- the advantage of a segment armature is also based on the condition that in view of the straight lined surfaces 41 the initial torque rises rapidly at smaller rotational angles, than in the circular armature. In general, threfore, the segment armature is better adapted for rotational angles up to 90.
- the input circuitry of the electronic speed regulator 24 is modified accordingly: no generator winding 49 for producing a supply voltage is then required.
- the supply voltage can, instead be more directly obtained from the light generator or from the output of the alternating current generator. Under these conditions, it is also no longer necessary to provide the generator winding 49 as a pulse generator.
- the input pulses for the monostable multivibrator can, in this case, be obtained through a switching contact in the ignition arrangement for the-engine.
- the output voltage from the alternating current generator driven by the engine can also be just as well coupled to the pulse shaping stage 60, through the diodes 61 and 62.
