9 Claims. (Cl. 175-41) This invention relates to an apparatus and a method for manufacturing condensers'and more particularly to a means and method for producing condensers having uniform capacitance. In the manufacture of fixed condensers of the type where pressure is applied during an impregnation or binding process, the usual method is to regulate the size of the conductive plates, the insulating medium, the pressure and other factors entering into-the process to the nearest possible value. This necessitates measuring and segregating the produce after manufacture according to the capacitance value resulting from the approximate standards set up and the factory-run average. Such a method, while it undoubtedly results in quantitative production, naturally does not insure a high average of specific values.
It has been found that in the manufacture of paper condensers of the wound insulator conductor type, the same inaccuracies prevail, and that in the producing of variable condensers of the precision type, the pressure applied to the assembly may vary the value of the condenser. The present invention aims to overcome these objections.
An object of the invention is to provide means for manufacturing condensers wherein the exact amount of capacitance during the process of manufacture may be determined.
Another object of the invention is to provide means for manufacturing condensers having the advantages of a quick accurate method of determining the capacitance values during the process of manufacture.
A further object of the invention is to provide a means and method for the. manufacture of condensers having a checking control on the ca pacitance values of the condensers during the 4o manufacture thereof.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a means and a method for the manufacture of condensers whereby a uniform capacitance of the condensers may be attained ess of manufacture. v
Further objects and advantages of theinvention reside in the various structural details hereinafter described and claimed as will appear upon reference to the following specification and to the accompanyng drawing.
The drawing is a comprehendve schematic view illustrating the various parts that go to make up the present invention.
during the proc- This invention is a continuation in part of ap plications Serial Nos. 305,753 and 305,754 filed September 13, 1928.
As shown, .10 represents generally'a vacuum tube having a filament 11, a grid 12 and a plate 13 enclosed within an evacuated envelope or'con- 00 tainer 14.
Connected to the input and output circuits of the tube is a low loss tank circuit comprising a large variable capacitance 15 and a small inductance 16. The value of this capacity and in- 66 ductance determine and control the frequency at which the tube oscillates.
Connected with the filament 11 are highfrequency choke coils l7 and 18. Those are composed of a relatively large number of turns of wire 70 and are connected respectively in the grid and plate circuit of the tube.
When in operation, these choke coils introduce or generate two driving electromotive forces which may be considered substantially 180 out 76 of phase. The geometric sum of these separate electromotive forces maintain a heavy oscillating current in the circuit; A thirdchoke coil 19 is connected to the filament and serves to main-;. tain it athigh potential with respect to the 80 ground.
The electrical supply for the tube comprises a filament battery 21 and a plate battery 20 both of which are maintained at ground potential, and bypass condensers 22 and 23 of large value permitting circulation of high frequency currents are connected in the plate circuit.
The frequency at which the tube operates is controlled mainly by the value of the condenser 15 and the inductance 16. The condenser 15 is of large value and hence the interelectrode capacity of the tube becomes substantially negligible in eifect.
Connected in the grid circuit are grid condensers 24 and 25, and a leakresistance 26. The value 5. of the condensers and resistance is so chosen that the high frequency oscillations generated in the tank circuit will periodically charge the condensers up to a certain value and then discharge through' the leak resistance to the ground.
Therefore, the condensers 24 and 25 and the resistance 26 produce a periodic interruption or choking of the high frequency oscillations. Connected in parallel with the condenser .25'is a condenser 27 in the process of manufacture. As shown, the condenser. 27 is positioned between the jaws of a press 28 which may be of any conventional type.
A movable coil relay 31 is connected in the output circuit. This relay is. adapted to close a 119 secondary circuit having connected therein, a battery 29 and a more powerful relay 30. As shown, a contact 32 is provided and this contact is set to a position corresponding to the desired capacity of the condenser in the process of manufacture. The relay 30 is adapted to close a circuit having means therein, not shown, for controlling the press.
When the plate current has reached a value corresponding to the desired capacity of the condenser as set by the contact 32 in the process of manufacture, the sensitive relay closesthe secfacture, a change in the frequency of modulation is effected by reason of a change in the capacitance of the condenser in the process of manufacture which is connected in parallel with the condenser 25. This change in the modulating frequency effects the plate current and the change in the plate current .actuates the sensitive relay to close the more powerful relay to stop the press and relieve the pressure.
While one illustrative embodiment has been described, it is not our intention to limit the scope of the invention to the particular embodiment otherwise thanby the terms of the appended claims.
