Abstract

This invention operates in some ways very similar to a Stepper Motor. The main difference is that the Final Step or Load Position is reached directly in one continuous motion without employing evenly spaced Rotor Sequencing Steps. The invention also offers the option to select any Non-Stepper Motor which has the best operating characteristics for the required design. Motor Characteristics may be as follows: Starting or Running Torque, Speed, Power, Wattage, Duty Cycle, Breaking, Cooling, Size, Current, Voltage, Maintenance and Cost.

The Load can be disconnected from the Rotor Shaft by an Intermediate Clutch.
The Load has less Inertia because the Motor is disconnected by the Intermediate Clutch.
This invention runs cooler and more efficiently because the Load can be held by a Residual Field Magnet without using continuous holding Power. The Motor can be continuously running because the Intermediate Clutch is a rotating holding magnetic link between the Motor and the Load.

An Optical Sensor Counter counts the rotating Number of Reflectors on the Load Disk or the Light Beams which pass through Slots on a Load Cutch Disk or on a Motor Disk.
The Count Number represents the Terminal Angle or Final Load Position and this number is fed to a Controller. The Controller in turn controls through Binary Logic three Electro-Magnetic Clutches. One Motor Clutch controls whether the Motor must be stopped or continue to rotate. A second, Intermediate Clutch, links the Motor Rotation to the Load and permits the Load to rotate at the same Speed as the Motor. The energized Load Clutch prevents the Load from rotating when the Intermediate Clutch links the rotating Motor and the Load. The Load Clutch must prevent the Load Output from rotating if the Intermediate Clutch is disengaged.
The Motor Clutch is employed to stop the Motor from rotating through damping or more forcefully depending on the Speed of the Motor, the Running Torque and the Angle or Radian Count. This invention isolated the Motor and the Load Characteristics from each other so that the designer has more opportunities by employing more advantages and to in many situations to run the Motor more efficiently when the Load is disengaged eg. breaking.

Description

1 Title of this Invention is:
2 Motor Radian Counter Logic: Controls the Motor, the Intermediate and the Load 3 Clutches.
4 This invention can employ a functioning Stepper Motor or other types of Electrical Motors.
All Intermediate Steps can be bypassed until the Final Terminal Step or Final Position Step 6 through the use of a Radial Sensor Counter, Controller Logic Circuits and three Electro-7 Magnet Controlled Clutches, Fig 1. Side View: Optical Led Source and Counter-8 Controller. Each of the three Fields is spatially and magnetically isolated by non metal 9 support disks and shafts and where possible by magnetic shielding. The count can be reset at any position so that larger radial distant positions can be set without Intermediate Steps.
11 A Motor Radial Load Position Disk, an Optical Led, and an Optical Sensor Counter are 12 used to generate a Signal which feeds a Logic Controller. The Controller Output 13 simultaneously controls the following three Electro-Magnet Controlled Clutches: 1. A
14 Torque Primary Motor Stopping Clutch. 2. A Torque Intermediate Motor Clutch and 3. A
Torque Holding Load Clutch. The Field Strength of each of these Clutches can be either 16 energized as a Temporarily Holding Field Magnet or it can retain its Field Strength as a 17 Residual Holding Field Magnet. Fig 1, 3, 4, 5, 6.

18 The Work Design, the Energy Efficiency / Coil Heating, the Motor and Load Motion Safety 19 Requirements and the Work Termination determine whether any of the three Holding Clutches is an Energized Electro-Magnetic Temporary Field Magnet or it is a Residual 21 Field Magnet.

22 These three Electro-Magnet Controlled Clutches operate simultaneously but independent 23 of each other. The Torque Holding Load Clutch has the greatest Field Strength Value and 24 must not permit the Load Clutch and the Load to rotate unless the Controller signals them to rotate. The Load Clutch must support precisely the Position of the Load under the 26 following conditions: 1. while the Position must be maintained for some work process 27 regardless of the rated Load 2. while the Torque Intermediate Motor Clutch is being 28 disconnected ie demagnetized because residual magnetism may cause the Load to rotate, 3.

1 while the Torque Motor Stopping Clutch is becoming engaged to stop the Motor from 2 rotating. 4. while the Load is still under a work process 6. while an emergency stop exists.

3 Note:

4 Under certain production circumstances and the nature of the production may require the complete stopping of the Motor or the Motor may continue running while the Torque 6 Intermediate Motor Disk is disconnected from the Torque Intermediate Clutch.
This can 7 be the case where the Motor Speed is slow and the Load is great or when the speed is slow 8 but there are many close steps. This Motor runs cooler and more efficiently.
Fig 4. and 5.

9 The Torque Intermediate Motor Clutch is required to be strong enough to permit the Load to rotate at the same speed as the moving Motor and without Load Slippage, Fig 4 and 5.

11 A Load is isolated from the Motor Rotation and without employing the Normal 12 Sequencing Steps of a Stepping Motor which limits the Speed and lowered the Motor 13 Efficiency because the Magnetic Coils were continuously energized producing Heat Losses.

The Torque Primary Motor Stopping Clutch Disk is attached to the Motor Shaft and can 16 rotate at the same speed of the Motor. The Torque Primary Motor Stopping Clutches are 17 in fixed positions on a separate Stopping Motor Clutch Shaft but when electrically 18 energized the Stopping Clutch will slide to the left to provide motor damping, breaking or 19 stopping.

The Motor Shaft has an attached Intermediate Motor Clutch Disk which rotates when the 21 Motor is powered and free to rotate and all breaking Clutches are disengaged eg the Motor 22 Clutch and the Load are not braked. To the right of the Motor shaft are two more types of 23 separately supported non metallic shafts. The second or middle shaft is a single separately 24 supported non-metallic Torque Intermediate Motor-Clutch Load Shaft. This shaft supports a sliding electro-magnet Torque Intermediate Motor Clutch and a fixed attached 26 Load Holding Clutch Disk.

1 The third shaft system uses two shafts used to magnetically brake or to hold the Load 2 during a production process step or to lock the Load. Two shafts are used to ensure cooling 3 , efficiency and safety as a single Clutch brake could fail and cause an accident. Fig 5.

4 The Torque Intermediate Motor Clutch is an electro-magnet Disk or Ring that is powered by a set of two conductive Electrical Slip Rings and Brushes. Here one Clutchor two 6 clutches can be used but one is easier to align the Clutch Disk and the Single electro-7 magnetic Clutch. Electricity energizes the Torque Intermediate Motor Clutch which causes 8 it to slide to the left and become magnetically coupled with the Torque Intermediate Motor 9 Disk. When the Motor is also energized and the Motor is free to rotate, then the non-metallic Torque Intermediate Motor-Clutch Load Shaft can rotate at the same speed as the 11 Motor if the Torque Intermediate Motor Disk is not braked. It is attached to the left side of 12 the non-metallic Intermediate Clutch-Load Disk Shaft. It is attached to but can slide to the 13 left or to the right along a non metallic Intermediate Clutch-Load Disk Shaft.

14 When the Torque Intermediate Motor Clutch is electrically energized it can slide to the left to magnetically attach to the rotating Intermediate Motor Clutch Disk.

16 Note a Review: There is a separately supported non-metallic Intermediate Clutch-Load 17 Disk Shaft which supports on the left end, the left to right sliding electro-magnetic Torque 18 Intermediate Motor Clutch and on the right end is the fixed attached Load Holding Clutch 19 Disk. The Intermediate Clutch-Load Disk Shaft can rotate when powered by a moving Motor or by a moving Load is when no brakes are applied. Note: When the Motor is 21 disconnected a Load can have sufficient inertia and can also rotate if the Load Clutch is not 22 employed by failure or by an error from the Controller. The overall system offers more 23 safety because the Motor can be disconnected from the Load by a emergency switch.

24 Two Load Holding Clutch Shafts are separately supported to the right of the Load Holding Clutch Disk. Each of these Load Holding Clutch Shafts holds a sliding electro-magnetic 26 Load Holding Clutch. The Load Holding Clutch Disk is a part of the Load Gear or the 27 Load Pulley Assembly. When the electro-magnetic Load Holding Clutch is energized it 28 slides to the left to engage against the Load Holding Clutch Disk so it can provide damping, 1 breaking or stopping to the Load Holding Clutch Disk and the final Load. The electro-2 magnetic Load Holding Clutch is powered by a set of two conductive Electrical Slip Rings 3 and Brushes. Energize clutch then slides to the left.

4 The Load Holding Clutch Disk is attached to right end of the non metallic Intermediate Clutch-Load Disk Shaft. It does not slide on the Intermediate Clutch-Load Disk Shaft.

6 The Load will rotate when the following conditions are met: 1. The Motor is energized and 7 rotates without the electro-magnetic Torque Primary Motor Clutch causing damping or 8 breaking on the Torque Primary Motor Clutch Disk. 2. The Torque Intermediate Motor 9 Clutch Disk is magnetically attached to the Torque Intermediate Motor Clutch. 3. The Load Holding Clutch Disk is not damped nor braked by the electro-magnetic Load 11 Holding Clutch. Fig I to Fig 6.

12 Note that Fig 6 is a complete drawing of the invention. Note well which parts are fixed in 13 position and which can slide left and right or which can slide and rotate.

14 For example a Clutch which operates as a brake must not rotate but slides against a moving Disk to dampen, to brake or to hold it for a long time or to stop it from rotating at 16 the end of a production process.

17 For example a Clutch which operates as a rotating Clutch to synchronize the movements of 18 the Motor to the Load must rotate and slide against its counterpart rotating Disk, see Fig 4 19 and Fig 5.

Refer to the drawing text boxes which mentions if the part rotates and or slides on a Shaft.

Claims (15)

1 The Embodiments of the Invention in Which an Exclusive Property or Privilege Is Claimed Are Defined As Follows:

1. This invention is designed to operate as a Stepper Motor but bypasses all the Intermediate Steps before the desired position is reached, Fig 6.
2. This invention does not depend on the conventional Number of Teeth nor the Frequency of Pulses from a Controller because it uses an Angular or a Radial Counter Controller to locate the Initial and the Final Position of the Load and or the Position of the Motor. Fig 1 and Fig 6.
3. The invention Controller Logic can be programmed to operate any of the three Clutches under any combination of production requirements and to gain access to analyze all the possible advantages of any Motor, Fig 6.
4. The initial, running, downtime, maintenance costs are very low because a simpler Controller is employed and higher production speeds can become available.

6. This invention is designed so that the advantageous characteristics of non-Stepper Motors can be selected and employed.
7. The invention focuses on bypassing the disadvantages of the heat losses, the limitations of Torque verses Motor Speed of the Stepper Motor designs because the Motor can stopped independently from the load or continue to run independently from the Load under certain Load Conditions. Fig 4 &
Fig 5.
8. The Motor is stopped independently from the Load so that the Motor Inertia is not factored when the Load Inertia is being analyzed. Fig 4, 5, 6.
9. The efficiency of the invention is much more because the motor is operating cooler with less heat losses due to the fact that the Load does not have to be held from rotating by constant power.
10.The entire production of a process can be made much faster because it does not require any delays to obtain a Stepper Motor with the correct Number of Teeth.
11. The Motor can run much faster because the effects of high Frequency verses Torque or Speed or Maximum Wattage or Max Current.
12.The invention can operate at much higher Wattages by using other types of AC or DC Motors so that more machining and transportation application become available.
