  • the secondary section has an arcuately disposed winding wound on a radially extending magnetic core segment which is disposed to be aligned successively with different ones of the primary core segments as the primary section rotates, whereby the signals from different ones of the rotating transducer heads are successively coupled to the stationary secondary winding.
  • a transverse scanning recorder of the prior art commonly known as a quadraplex recorder, has four transducer heads spaced in quadrature about an axis extending in a direction generally parallel to the direction of tape travel. As the tape moves past the rotating head assembly, it is scanned successively by the four heads along paths lying generally perpendicular to the direction of tape travel.
  • each transformer has a primary winding and a secondary winding, and the windings are disposed side-by-side along the axis of rotation, with the primary windings constrained for rotation with the head assembly and the secondary windings stationary.
  • This switcher is a complicated network which delivers the signals from different ones of the heads in a predetermined order, and it is generally necessary to amplify the signals from the transformer secondaries before they are applied to the switcher. This requires a separate preamplifier for each of the channels.
  • the transformer includes a primary section which rotates with the head assembly and a stationary secondary section which is mounted adjacent to the primary section.
  • the primary section has a plurality of arcuately disposed windings wound on radially extending magnetic core segments, the number of windings and core segments corresponding to the number of heads.
  • the secondary section has an arcuately disposed winding wound on a radially extending magnetic core segment which is disposed to be aligned successively with different ones of the primary core segments as the primary section rotates, whereby the signals from different ones of the rotating transducer heads are successively coupled to the stationary secondary winding.
  • the primary windings are arranged in two groups disposed along concentric circular paths of different radii
  • the secondary includes two radially extending magnetic core segments with an arcuately disposed winding on each, with each of the secondary windings being disposed to be coupled with the windings in only one of the two primary groups.
  • the secondary windings are arranged to provide a slight overlap at the beginning and end of each scan, and switching be tween the secondary windings is provided by a simple two channel switcher.

  • FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating the use of the transformer of FIGS. l3 in a transverse scan tape recorder.
  • FIGS. 1 and 4 the invention is illustrated in connection with the rotating head assembly of a transverse scan recorder having eight circumferentially spaced heads designated Hl-HS.
  • the heads are positioned for scanning a magnetic tape T in a direction generally perpendicular to the direction normal to the plane of the page, and in the vicinity of the head assembly the tape is bowed transversely by a suitable guide, not shown.
  • the spacing between adjacent heads is made less than the width of the tape to provide a few degrees of overlap at the end of one scan and the beginning of the next.
  • the commutating rotary transformer comprises a primary section 10 and a secondary section II.
  • the primary section includes a cup-shaped base 16, and it is affixed to the head assembly and constrained for rotation therewith by a screw 17.
  • a plurality of radially extending magnetic core segments 21-28 are mounted on base 16 and arranged in an inner group consisting of the odd numbered segments.
  • the core segments are generally sector shaped, and the segments in the inner group are spaced in quadrature about a central core section 29.
  • the outer segments are interposed between the inner segments, and they are separated from the inner segments and the central core section by air gaps 31 and 32.
  • Base 16 is preferably fabricated of a nonmagnetic material such as aluminum, and the core segments are fabricated of a ferrite material such as Ferroxcube 4C4. Alternatively, if desired, aluminum or another non-magnetic material can be utilized in place of air gaps 31 and 32 between the inner and outer core segments.
  • Primary windings P1P8 are wound on core segments 21-28 and disposed in arcuately extending slots in the segments.
  • each primary winding consists of seven turns of No. 47 copper wire.
  • the even numbered windings i.e. the windings on the inner group of core segments, are disposed along a circular path having a radius less than the inner radius of the outer core segments.
  • the odd numbered windings are disposed along a circular path which has a radius greater than the outer radius of the inner core segments.
  • connections to the primary windings are made by leads passing through openings 36 in base 16 to a printed circuit board 37 which is mounted in a recessed area at the rear of the base.
  • Connector pins 38 on the circuit board mate with sockets on the head assembly, and connections between the winding leads and the connector pins are made by conductive foil on the circuit board.
  • the odd numbered heads are connected to the windings adjacent to them, and the even numbered heads are connected to the diametrically opposed windings.
  • head H1 is connected to the adjacent winding Pl
  • head H2 is connected to the opposed winding P2, and so on.
  • the secondary section 11 of the transformer includes a cup-shaped base 41 which is preferably fabricated of a nonmagnetic material such as aluminum.

  • Magnetic core sections 51 and 52 are mounted on the front of base 41. Segments 51 and 52 are generally sector-shaped, and they are fabricated of a high frequency ferrite material such as Ferroxcube 4C4.
  • Secondary windings S1 and S2 are wound on segments 51 and 52 and disposed in arcuately extending slots in the segments.
  • Winding S1 is disposed along a circular path having a radius corresponding to the radius of the outer group of primary windings
  • winding S2 is disposed along a circular path having a radius corresponding to the inner group of primary windings.
  • each of the secondary windings have seven turns of No. 47 copper wire.
  • Leads from the windings pass through openings 54 in base 41 to a printed circuit board 56 which is mounted in the rear of the base. Conductive foil leads on the circuit board provide connections between the winding leads and conductors leading to the circuitry with which the transformer is used.
  • the primary and secondary sections are disposed coaxially of the head assembly, with the axial faces of the core segments confronting each other. These faces are preferably lapped so that segments of the two sections can be in close proximity to minimize losses across the air gap between them.
  • Secondary winding S1 is aligned with the odd numbered primary windings
  • secondary winding S2 is aligned with the even numbered primary windings.
  • the secondary core segments and windings are wider than the primary core segments and windings, and in the preferred embodi ment each of the primary windings has an arc length on the order of 45 and each of the secondary windings has an arc length on the order of 90.
  • втори ⁇ еска ⁇ ⁇ тор ⁇ ⁇ иров S1 and S2 are connected to the inputs of preamplifiers 61 and 62, respectively.
  • the outputs of the preamplifiers are connected to a two channel switcher 63 of known design.
  • the output of the switcher is connected to the playback circuitry 64 of the tape recorder.
  • Switcher 63 operates in synchronization with the head assembly, alternately passing the signals from the two secondary windings to the playback circuitry. In a video recorder where each scan ofa head across the tape corresponds to a number of horizontal lines of the picture, for example 10 to 20 lines, switching occurs just before the horizontal sync pulse during the front porch interval for the first line of each scan.
  • the primary section is mounted coaxially of the rotating head assembly of a transverse scanning recorder and constrained for rotation therewith.
  • the secondary section is mounted in a fixed position coaxially of the primary section with the core segments of the primary section in close axial proximity to the core segments of the secondary section. As the head assembly and primary section rotate, the secondary core segments are aligned with successive ones of the primary segments to provide coupling with successive ones of the primary windings.
  • primary core segments 21 and 24 are aligned with secondary core segment 51, and primary segments 25 and 28 are aligned with secondary segment 52.
  • Windings Pland S1 are coupled by core segments 21 and 51, and windings P8 and S2 are coupled by segments 28 and 52. None of the other primary windings are coupled to the secondary windings.
  • core segments 24 and 51 are aligned, there is no coupling between primary winding P4 and secondary winding S1 because these windings lie on different radii.
  • there is no coupling between windings P5 and S2 because they also lie on different radii.
  • head H1 scans across tape T, and the output signal from this head is delivered to the playback circuitry by windings P1 and S1 and switcher 63.
  • head H2 begins to scan the tape. While head H2 scans the tape, primary core segment 22 is aligned with secondary segment 52, and primary winding P2, which is connected to head H2, is coupled to secondary winding S2.
  • the switcher delivers the signal from secondary winding S2 to the playback circuitry.
  • the process continues, and the output signals from the different heads are delivered to the playback circuitry in the desired sequence.
  • each head begins its scan slightly before the proceeding head has completed its scan, there is a slight overlap in the signals delivered to the secondary windings for successive portions of the picture. This overlap is eliminated by the switcher and is not visible in the picture. The switching occurs during the retrace interval between lines, and there is no loss of picture information during it.
  • the record signal is fed.
  • the record signal is coupled to the odd numbered and even numbered heads as they scan the tape in sequence. No external signal switching is performed during the record process, hence each head records a path on the tape which extends more than 45 in arc length.
  • the redundant recording at the beginning and end of each scan provides the overlap for the playback process.
