Skokie, and Hardin Y. Fisher, Melrose Park, Ill., assignors to Soreng Manufacturing Corporation, Chicago, 11]., a corporation of Illinois Application March 6, 1948, Serial No. 13,443
Claims. 1
This invention relates to solenoids and refers more particularlyto improvements in alternating current solenoids of the type shown and described in the copending application of Hardin Y. Fisher, Patent No. 2,468,052, filed May 8, 1947.
As in the aforementioned copending application it is also an object .of this invention to provide an A. C. solenoid with shading coils so located on the frame of the solenoid as to preclude the formation of flux bottlenecks in the magnetic circuit; and to provide an enlarged head on the outer end of the plunger of the solenoid having shoulders at its underside adapted to enter an enlarged air gap opening in the frame during seating of the plunger for the purpose of increasing the tractive force of the plunger near the end of its stroke.
An additional object of the present invention, however, resides in the provision of novel means for retaining the shading coils in place on the frame of the solenoid, and which means also provides for cushioning of the plunger during final seating motion thereof.
More specifically this invention has as its main object the provision of novel spring blades confined between one end of the coil of the solenoid and the frame at its open end for retaining the shading coils in place on the frame, for cushioning the plunger during its final seating motion, and also for yieldingly pressing the winding against the closed end of the frame.
With the above and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, this invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts substantially as hereinafter described and more particularly defined by the appended claims, it being understood that such changes in the precise embodiment of the hereindisclosed invention may be made as come within the scope of the claims.
The accompanying drawing illustrates two complete examples of the physical embodiment of the invention constructed according to the-best modes so far devised for the practical application of the principles thereof, and in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of an alternating current solenoid having portions broken away to better illustrate the application of this invention thereto;
Figure 2 is a cross sectional view taken along the plane of the line 2-2 of Figure Figure 3 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view taken on the plane of the line 3 of Figure 2; s
Figure 4 is a perspective view of one of the pair 2 of spring blades required in the preferred embodiment of the invention; and
Figure 5 is a perspective view of a modified form of spring retaining blade.
Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawing in which like numerals indicate like parts, the numeral 5 designates the solenoid winding which is of conventional type wound on an insulating hollow spool or bobbin-like form 8. The spool, inthe present case, comprises a tubular stem 1 having a substantially rectangular cross sectional shape, and end flanges 8 at opposite ends of the stem between which the windings are confined.
'The frame ll! of the solenoid is generally U- shaped in side elevation and is preferably built up in the usual manner from a number of identical U-shaped laminae stacked together to form a bank and secured together by means of rivets. The winding 5 is received between the opposite legs ll of the U-shaped frame with one end thereof seated against the closed end l2 of the frame and the opposite end adjacent to the open end l3 of the frame. Inward extensions 14 on the outer ends of the legs H project toward one another and overlie the front of the winding to define between their ends an air gap 15 through which the plunger 16 projects for reciprocatory motion inside the hollow center of the winding.
The plunger l6, which is also of laminated construction, is formed as in the aforementioned copending application of Hardin Y. Fisher,'Serial No. 746,648, filed May 8, 1947, now Patent No. 2,468,052, in that it has a cross-head ll on its outer end of a spread such as to completely span the open end of the frame when the plunger is seated.
In the seated position of the plunger shown in Figure 3, it will be noted that the underside of the cross-head ll abuts the ends of the legs H, and that shoulders 20 at opposite sides of the plunger beneath the cross-head enter the air gap 15 during final seating of the plunger to substantially bridge the space between the ends of the inward extensions I4 on the legs II.
The .plunger 16 is guided for endwise reciprocatory motion in a path parallel to the legs ll of the frame and substantially midway therebetween by guide means indicated generally by the numeral 27.. This guide means comprises cooperating substantially T-shaped guide parts 23 secured to opposite sides of the frame with their heads 24 overlying and spanning the space between the inward extensions M on the frame legs, and with their stems 25 projecting rearwardly from the heads through the hollow center of the winding cross section with the flanges 26 thereof project-v ing inwardly toward one another from opposite side edges of the stems and cooperating to provide a substantially tubular guideway to reciprocably receive the inner end portion of the plunger in its interior and to mount the hollow winding 5 on its exterior. If desired, the channels of the guide parts may be extended a distance forwardly of their heads, as shown at 21, to provide proper support for the plunger in its withdrawn position.
As inthe aforementioned copending application of Hardin Y. Fisher, the frame is provided with two shading coils 30. Each of these coils comprises a substantially rectangularly shaped loop of conductive material encircling a portion of one of the legs I I of the frame at its outer extremity.
Two opposite sides 3| of each loop lie exteriorly of the sides of the frame, but the front and rear members 32 and 33 respectively of each of the loops are received in slots 34 and 35 cut into the legs The slots 34 for the front members of the loops extend edgewise into the outer extremities of the legs ii and run entirely transversely thereacross.
The other slots 35 for the rear members of the loops fiatwise traverse the inner surfaces of the legs near the inner corners defined by the junctures between the legs H and the inward extensions M on their outer ends.
Consequently, it will be seen that the shading coils are assembled with the frame by first passing them over the extensions l4, and then engaging the front members 32 of the loops edgewise into their slots 34. As the front members32 seat in their slots, the rear members 33 of the loops are brought into alignment with their slots 35 and seated therein. It will be understood, of course, that the slots 34 leading edgewise into the ends of the legs are wide enough to allow slight tilting of the loops during engagement of their front members in the slots 34; and that the engagement of the rear members of the loops in their slots 35 precludes forward motion of the loops in the direction to disengage the front members 32 from their slots.
Since the slots 35 are formed in the inner sides of the legs H of the frame while the slots 34 are located relatively close to the outer sides of the legs, it will be apparent that the opposite sides 3| of the coils extend substantially diagonally across the junctures between the legs and their inward extensions l4 so as to preclude fiux bottlenecks in the main magnetic circuit, as brought out more fully in the aforementioned copending application of Hardin Y. Fisher.
' Each of the shading coils an is retained in its and tangs 4"| along the outer sides of the legs at their extreme ends.
The blades are seated edgewise on the tubular winding support ahead of the front of the wind-,- ing 5 with their shoulders 40 resting on the flanges 26 of the support, and with the tangs 4| embracing the opposite sides of the tubular support to preclude lateral shifting of the blades. The legs 39 of the blades are confined between the heads 24 on the T-shaped guide parts and the adjacent end of the winding, and the blades thus press against the winding to hold it seated against the closed end of the frame under a degree oi spring force.
Each blade 31 also has a flange 43 at its outer? edge directed rearwardly therefrom at an angh. to the body of the blade and these flanges reach around to the sides of the winding 5 at its front end and engage the rear members 33 of the shading coils under spring force to hold said members in their slots. Hence the blades maintain the shading coils assembled with the frame besides holding the winding against the closed end of the frame.
Confinement of the blades 31 in their position described also flexes the central prongs 38 on the blades forwardly into the air gap |5 between the inward extensions l4 and the adjacent sides of the plunger, so that the prongs lie in the path of inward travel of the shoulders 20 on the plunger. Hence, it will be apparent that the prongs 38 are engaged by the shoulders 20 during final inward or seating motion of the plunger to cushion the same and thereby relieve the frame of shock incidental to the engagement of the enlarged head I! with the open end of the frame. Inasmuch as seating of the plunger causes rearward fiexure of the prongs 33, it will also be seen that the prongs exert a force on the plunger tending to unseat the same and sufiicient to overcome the effects on the plunger of residual magnetism at the time the winding is deenergized.
While two separate spring blades 3! are employed in the preferred embodiment of the invention, it will be readily appreciated that these blades may be combined into the single blade 31' shown in Figure 5, wherein the tangs 4| are joined with each other at each side of the plunger guide, as shown at 4|.
