3 Claims, 2 Drawing Figures PATENTEB JAN 1 4197s FIGJ ARRESTER DEVICE FOR SMALL SELF-STARTING SYNCI-IRONOUS MOTORS This is a continuation, of application Ser. No. 200,774, filed Nov. 22, 1971 now abandoned.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to an arrester device for small self-starting synchronous motors.
It is known that small single phase self-starting synchronous motors are generally provided with an arrester device so as to give rise to a specified direction of rotation.
PRIOR ART Although the solutions adopted up to now are satisfactory, they still have some drawbacks. Thus, those of the free wheel type are relatively complex and delicate to assemble. Those which are in the catch system class and are simpler, generate noise and the constituent parts are subject to wear.
Other devices are also known, but all of them still comprise either several components, or a certain complexity of construction (gears, toothed quadrants).
An arrester device has also been suggested in French Pat. No. l 543 447, comprising a recessed cam which can pivot on a fixed axis parallel to the axis of the motor, having an integral stop finger which can co-operate with stop teeth with which the rotor is provided and which, due to its elasticity, can be in friction contact with a part of the hub of the rotor so that it may occupy, as the rotor rotates in the desired direction, a stable position corresponding to the withdrawal of the finger with respect to the teeth and, so that it may occupy, as the rotor has a tendency to rotate in the other direction, a position for which the stop finger arrives onto the path of the stop teeth and blocks the rotor. The elasticity of this cam is hardly compatible with the friction of the internal profile on the axis of the rotor, so that a stable friction effect on the rotor axis is obtained with difficulty.
This invention relates to an arrester device which does not have the preceding drawbacks, the operation of which being nevertheless reliable and durable.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To this effect, the invention relates to an arrester device, in particular, for small self-starting single phase synchronous motors of the type comprising a recessed cam which can pivot on a fixed axis parallel to the motor axis, integral with a stop finger which can cooperate with stop teeth with which the rotor is provided and which can be in friction contact, through an edge of its recess, with a part of the rotor hub so that it can occupy, as the rotor rotates in the desired direction, a stable position corresponding to the withdrawal of the finger with respect to the teeth and so that it may occupy, as the rotor has a tendency to rotate in the other direction, a position for which the stop finger arrives onto the path of the stop teeth and blocks the rotor, which device is characterized by-the fact that the cam is rigid and is movable with respect to the fixed axis, elastic means being provided to draw it back into friction contact of said edge of its recess on said part of the rotor hub.
In a preferred embodiment, the cam comprises a groove into which said fixed axis can slide as it is being guided in it.
In this case, the elastic means preferably comprise an elastic metallic ring which bears onto said fixed axis and onto a pin present on the cam.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING The invention will be more fully understood as a result of the following description of one example of an embodiment shown in the appended drawing in which FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic plan view of the arrester device according to the invention, and
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the device.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The synchronous motor comprises an axis such as shaft 1 integral with a rotor 2. A cam 3, which is advantageously made of a molded synthetic material, is provided with an elongated port or slot 3a surrounding the axis 1.
The cam 3 has a beak or stop finger 3b provided so as to co-operate with teeth 2a of the rotor 2 and a groove 3c which is substantially perpendicular to the port 3a and which acts as a guide on a fixed axis 4 parallel to the axis 1 and integral with the motor stator. The cam 3, also, has a pin 3d between the end of the groove 30 and port 3a and an elastic steel ring 5 is slipped onto the axis 4 and onto the pin 3d and tends to bring them close to each other. This bringing together is limited by the abutment of axis 1 of the rotor against the longitudinal face 3f of the port 3a farthest from the pin 3d.
The assembly is provided so as to allow free rotation of rotor 2 only in the direction of the arrow shown as a dotted line. Indeed, if the motor starts in this direction, the friction of axis 1 on face 3f of the port 3a, under the elastic action of ring 5, tends to cause the rotation of cam 3 in the same direction. Whatever the position of the cam 3 may be as the motor starts, it will occupy the position shown in a dotted line in which the axis 1 is in abutment against the left end (on the drawing) of port 3a. On the other hand, if the motor starts in the direction of the arrow shown as a solid line, the cam 3 occupies the position shown as a solid line. In the position shown as a dotted line, the beak 3b of the cam 3 is not in meshing engagement with the teeth 2a of the rotor 2 and the latter can continue to rotate. On the other hand in the position shown as a solid line, the beak 3b abuts against a tooth of the teeth 2a, and the rotor is thus blocked.
What I claim is:
1. An arrester device, particularly for small, selfstarting single phase synchronous motors of the type provided with a stator and a rotor having an axis integral therewith, the device including a rigid cam, a fixed axis integral with the stator, said fixed axis being parallel to the axis of the rotor, stop teeth on the rotor, said cam being pivoted to the fixed axis and having a stop finger which, according to the position of the cam, is positioned in the path of the stop teeth for blocking rotation of the rotor or in a position out of the path of movement of the stop teeth, said cam being provided with a closed elongated aperture, and elastic means urging the cam in frictional contact with the rotor axis along the edge of the closed aperture.
2. The arrester device as claimed in claim 1, in which the cam is further provided with a groove substantially perpendicular to the closed elongated aperture for receiving the fixed axis.
3. The arrester device as claimed in claim 1, in which the cam is provided with a pin and the elastic means includes an elastic metallic ring engaging the fixed axis and the pin.
