His Abborneg Patented Dec. 3, 1929 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HARRY M. QTEVENS, OF S CHENEGTADY, YORK, ASSIGNOR TO GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK I Application filed May 3,1928. Serial No. 274,900;
My invention relatesto improvements in relays and more particularly to time protective relays and an object of my invention is to provide an improved time relay wherein time adjustments can be made without disturbing the other adjustments of the relay. More specifically an object of my invention is to provide for a relay, whose armature has a predetermined travel independent of the setting of the relay, an arrangement for adjusting the time independently of such travel. Another object of my invention is to provide a time relay construction which is independent of the more or less erratic action inherent in dash pots and thelike.
My invention will be better understood from the following description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawing and its scope will be pointed out in the appended claims. In the accompanying'drawing, Fig. 1 illustrates in perspective an embodiment of my invention and Figs. 2 and 3 are part side elevations of the embodiment of my invention shown in Fig. 1 illustrating the timing control mechanism in different positions.
' The illustrated embodiment ofmy invention includes a controller member, such as a hollow cylinder or sleeve 4 which is arranged to be actuated in response to a predetermined energization of an electromagnet 5, and a mechanism 6 for delaying the movement of the controlling member. In order to vary the time of operation of this member, I provide between it and the mechanism 6, in accordance with my invention, an adjustable linkage shown as including two pivotally mounted members such as levers 7 and 8 having a common adjustable connection 9 for varying their relative lengths.
The particular electromagnet' 5' chosen to illustrate myinvention is of the iron-clad type such as disclosed in United States Letters Patent No. 1,532,003 to O. C. Traver, dated March 81, 1925, and assigned to the sameassignee as'this invention.' The electromagnet 5 includes an armature 10 a-dj'ustably positioned on an operating rod 11 so that the sensitivity or pick-up of the magnet can be varied. The operating rod 11 extends up- I controlling member a means such as a spring wardly through the electromagnet and in order that-the armature 10 and, therefore, the rod secured thereto may have a predetermined travel which can be varied, the rod I is provided with a collar l2which is arranged to abut the fixed upper pole (not shown) of the electromagnet when the armature is in the unattracted position and to abut an adj'ustably positioned stop or cap 13 when the armature is in the attracted position. In order to have maximum flexibility in, the time-current characteristic's of the relay, there is preferably provided between the armature 10'of the electromagnet and the 1d, arranged to have energy stored therein on movement of the armature. As shown, this spring is mounted within the sleeve 4 bet-ween the upper end thereof and the upper end of the operating rod 11 which has a 'collar 15 arranged to be slipped into the sleeve through a suitable side opening therein and locked in place by a bushing 16 placed into the sleeve from the upper end before the spring is mounted.
The load mechanism 6 for delaying the movement of the controlling member a is of a rotary type in order to eliminate the erratio action inherent in dash pots and the like. As shown, the mechanism 6 includes a rotatable element such as'a cylinder 60 of conducting material which upon rotation is subject to a restraining eiiect such as a magnetic drag dependent on the angular velocity of the cylinder. The magnetic drag may be provided by any suitable'magnetic structure which, as shown, includes two permanent I magnets 17 positioned respectively on opposite sides of the axis of rotation of the rotat able element-.60 and two pairs of cooperating c0 pole pieces 18 secured to magnetic yokes 19. This magnetic structure is suitably mounted as for example, by a structure including brackets '20, fastened to a supporting member such as a plate 21 which may be suitably 95 securedto the electromagnet 5.
In order to obtain the desired load or mag netic drag, the ,,conducting member 60 may be connected to 'th'e controlling member 4 through a driving connection which includes,
- from the the pawl 29 end for end the pin 9. Thus,
besides the levers 7 and 8, a step-up gear mechanism including a gear sector on one arm of the lever 8, a pinion 22 and a gear 23 mounted on a shaft 24 and a pinion 25 on the shaft of the member 60. A bracket 26 secured tothe supporting member 21 serves as a bearing member for the shaft 24, the shaft of the cylinder 60 and the pivot 27 of the lever 8. In order to have a free return of the controlling member 4, for example, on movement of the armature 10 to the unattracted position upon deenergization of the electromagnet 5, the driving means may be arranged to permit movement of the controlling member in one direction independently of the restraint of the load mechanism 6. For this purpose the; gear 23 may be arranged for movement relatively to. the shaft 24 and to be locked thereto for movement therewith in a desired direction by any suitable mechanism herein shown as comprising aratchet wheel 28 secured to the shaft 24 and a spring pawl29 secured to the gear ,23. The pawl and ratchet mechanism illustrated is of the reversible type so that the locking action can be arranged for rotation in either direction as desired. This may be accomplished by transferring the pawl abutment screw 30 position shown andinserting it in the hole 31 and at the same time reversing on the support by whichit is secured to the gear 23. With the pawl 29 reversed, the armature 10 may be normally energized and in the attracted position without delay on the pick-up movement but, on deenergizationsufiicient to drop the armature, its movement to the unattached position will be delayed. Obviously; therefore, the relay may be used either as a time. delay pick-up or a time delay drop-out device. In order to vary the timing of the relay particularly so that it can-be done independently of the travel of the armature 10, the means whereby the rectilinear movement of the armature is transmitted to the element 60 is, in accordance, with my invention made adjustable, so that the angular'movement'of the gear sector of the lever. 8 can be varied independently of other adjustments of the relay. For this purpose, the operating levers 7 and 8 are connected through the adjustably positioned pin 9 which is movable in slots in the levers and is arranged to be secured to one of the levers such as 7 by any suitable means'herein shown as a clamping nut 32. The angle between the levers 7 and 8 varies in accordance with the position of the closer the pin 9 is to the supporting plate 21 on which the lever 7 is pivoted, the more nearly are the levers in alignment and the less the movement of...
the gear sector on the lever 8 and, therefore, the less the rotation of the cylinder 60 and the Shorter the time required to use the energy stored in the spring 14. The farther the pin zation of the electromagnet 5 In Figs. 1 and 2 this contact member is shown in the circuit opening or deenergized posi tion of the electromagnet 5. Upon energiza tion of the relay 'sufiicient to pick-up the armature 10, the operatingrod 11 compresses the "spring 14, since the sleeve 4 cannot instantly partake of the movement of the rod 11 due to the inertia of the load mechanism 6 connected to the sleeve. As this mechanism gets under motion, the energy of the spring is gradually used in a time dependent on the position of the connecting pin 9, and the controlling member 4 reaches the position shown in Fig. ,3 to close cooperating contacts 33 and 34. Upon deenergization of the electromagnet 5 the armature 10 returns to its unattracted position independently of the load mechanism 6 if the, pawl and ratchet mechanism is provided and arranged as shown in Fig. 1. It will be obvious that the lighter the construction of the'spring 14, the less readily will. the sleeve 4 tend instantly to partake of the movement of the armature 10. Consequently, for a given movement of the armature the amount of spring compression and, therefore, the energy stored in,the spring will be constant so that the time action of the relay will be definite. As the stiffness of the spring is increased, the sleeve 4 has a greater tendency instantlyto partake of the movement of the armature and its-associated operating rod 11 so that the time characteristic of the relay tends to become more and more inverse. This time characteristiccan, of course, be made quite inverse by providing a spring 14 so stifl' that it undergoes practically no compression. It is preferable, however,.under any conditionto have some yield to the spring so that in case by exceedingly heavy currents, there will not be too great a tendency to transmit the substantially instanteous movement of the armature directly to the load mechanism. It will, of course,
be apparent that the travel of the operating rod 11 and, therefore, the armature 10 can be varied by adjusting the cap or stop The amount of energy'store'd in the spring and the upward movement of the sleeve 4 the time characteristic of the relay will be of energi:
more nearly inverse particularly if a stilt spring is used.
