Definitions

  • the present invention relates to electrical isolation devices, and in particular, to devices suited to provide adequate electrical isolation under predetermined conditions between consumer mains supplies of the order of 240 volts AC and low voltage control supplies (of the order of 10 volts).
  • Means for isolation between main supply and control circuit supplies are known.
  • One of the earliest forms involves the use of an electromechanical relay.
  • the coil is arranged to operate on either the high or the low voltage and the contacts operated by the relay coil are arranged to operate on the corresponding low or high voltage.
  • an electromechanical relay may be sufficient.

  • the relay is susceptible to vibration
  • the relay characteristics can vary with temperature and age
  • the relay is susceptible to electrical leakage particularly in the smaller sizes and where the humidity or moisture level is relatively high;
  • the relay can be relatively bulky for the electrical isolation it affords.
  • An advantage of the relay is that it is relatively insensitive to electrical noise.
  • isolation device of the present invention is in amusement equipment, for example fairground games, video games and arcade games.
  • This form of equipment typically requires coin operation.
  • relay operated devices have formed part of the coin operation mechanism.
  • these relay devices suffer from certain disadvantages. Instances have been known in recent times where these devices have failed in such a way that electrocution of users of the device has resulted.
  • an isolation device which is simple, inexpensive, compact and preferably provides improved performance over the previously used relay based coin operation mechanisms, such device also providing the required electrical isolation under all necessary conditions and being capable of approval by the relevant safety and electrical authorities.

  • Preferably said predetermined period of time relating to said disable means is greater than said predetermined period of time relating to said logic power supply means.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a solid state electrical isolation device according to a preferred embodiment
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view of the underside of part of the circuit board incorporating the preferred embodiment.
  • Fig. 3 is a timing diagram illustrating the operation of the preferred embodiment.

  • Fig. 1 there is shown two 555 timers IC1 and IC2 controlling an opto-isolator circuit IC3.
  • the low voltage circuit performs two functions:
  • IC1 provides an enable signal to the IC3 for a predetermined time after the coin operation switch is operated by a coin.
  • the component values and connections are arranged so that IC1 provides a predetermined ON time of approximately 60 seconds and IC2 provides an initial disable signal of approximately 70 seconds after power up.
  • the circuit of Fig. 1 is arranged so that the whole assembly is supplied with mains power at 240 volts AC.
  • a step down transformer T1 by means of suitable regulation circuitry provides 12 volt DC regulated input for the low voltage control circuit.
  • the same 240 volt AC supply is also connected by means of the TRIAC TC1 to a motor load or equivalent.
  • IC2 is arranged so that, upon turn on, PIN3 is high. Approximately 70 seconds later IC2 times out and PIN3 goes low. At this stage, if PIN3 of IC1 were to go high then a supply becomes available to PIN1 of IC3 which then connects via PIN2 of IC3 through diode Dl and via PIN3 of IC2 to common.
  • PIN 3 of ICl goes high when the coin switch is operated (by insertion of a coin in the machine). Upon insertion of a coin PIN3 goes high for a period of approximately 60 seconds i.e. for the intended predetermined period of operation of the machine.
  • TRIAC TCI is gated on by means of conduction through terminals 6 and 4 of IC3.
  • IC2 operates much more quickly than IC3. i.e. The rise time of the signal at terminal 3 of IC2 is much faster than the rise time of the output signal at terminal 4 of IC3. By-virtue. of this timing relationship, upon initial power up, IC2 will always inhibit IC3 (high on terminal 3 of IC2) before IC3 can gate TRIAC TC1 on).
  • terminal 3 of IC2 goes low, allowing IC3 to be enabled.
  • Opto-isolator circuit IC3 provides nominal 7.5kV isolation between its high and low voltage sides. To ensure this isolation is maintained once the integrated circuit is actually placed onto a circuit board, certain circuit board design constraints must be considered.
  • the integrated circuit placement and track layout therein disclosed has been found advantageous in maintaining the necessary electrical isolation even under conditions of high humidity and condensation on the board.
  • the parameters adopted are greater in magnitude than those usually specified.
  • IC3 has been located near an edge of the board with the high and low voltage pin pads stradling a slot of length 1 and width wl cut out of the board. Pins 1, 2, 4 and 6 of IC3 are shown connected to solder pads.
  • dimension 1 is 16mm and wl is at least 2.7mm, preferably 3mm and more preferably 4mm.
  • the distance w2 between the high and low voltage pins of IC3 is at least 10.7mm.
  • the creep distance being the minimum distance between any high and low voltage pad is at least 8mm and preferably 8.2mm.
  • the slot width wl is extended to be equal to w2. Tests on a circuit board prototype built using the dimensions and the circuit of the preferred embodiment disclosed above have exhibited an isolation of at least 7kV under required conditions of humidity and temperature.
  • the slot should be located symmetrically beneath the opto-isolator chip as generally shown in Fig. 2.
  • TRIAC TCI is rated at 15 amps, 400 volts with gate turn on current of 50mA (SC151D).
  • the opto-isolated TRIAC driver, IC3 is an M0C3021 TRIAC driver chip rated 7.5kV isolation.
  • MOC3021 The dimension of MOC3021 is approximately 8mm in length by 6mm in width by approximately 3mm in thickness (exluding pins). In general terms it is required that the slot extend 4mm beyond either end of the IC package. For this particular chip the slot length, when located symmetrically beneath the chip, is therefore 4mm plus 8mm plus 4mm equals 16mm.
  • the slot 13 should extend continuously with the chips all stradling the slot.
  • the minimum separation distance between chip ends is 8mm.
  • the slot width should be as previously specified, namely at least 2.7mm and most preferably 4mm or greater.
  • a separation slot 15 should be included which separates the rows of integrated circuit chips from each other, i.e. separates chips 10, 11 and 12 from chips 16, 17 and 18.
  • the above dimensions and isolation characteristics apply particularly for situations where the maximum voltage likely to be applied to the isolation device lies in the range 120 volts (RMS) to 420 volts (RMS) and being within the frequency range approximately 45 Hz to 65 Hz.

Abstract

Un dispositif d'isolation électrique et un circuit monté sur une carte de circuit sert à établir une isolation d'au moins 7kV entre des composants à basse tension (de l'ordre de 10 à 50 V) et des composants à haute tension (de l'ordre de 120V CA à 420V CA) montés sur la carte de circuit ou autres. On obtient l'isolation en partie en prévoyant dans la carte de circuit un interstice (13) de dimensions déterminées situé sous les puces (10, 11, 12) d'isolation du circuit intégré. Un circuit de commande logique particulier à basse tension pour une puce du circuit de commande à Triac à opto-isolation (IC3) est également décrit, ladite puce comportant des broches de connexion à haute et basse tension et un organe d'opto-isolation pourvu d'un organe (IC2) d'invalidation de la conduction pouvant fonctionner durant un temps prédéterminé et connecté entre la première des broches de connexion à basse tension. L'organe d'opto-isolation comprend un organe logique d'alimentation connecté à la deuxième des broches de connexion à basse tension (broche 2 de IC3). L'organe logique d'alimentation (IC1) est destiné à alimenter pendant un temps prédéterminé la deuxième (broche 1 de IC3) des broches de connexion à basse tension. Ledit dispositif sert en particulier de circuit de remplacement à semi-conducteur pour des mécanismes à relais de machines à sous, telles qu'on les utilise dans les foires et analogues.
