80V LOAD I INVENTORS LL M/CHAEL r KR/l/AK w y c/sso/v REYNOLDS SERVO DISPLACEMENT LIMITER WITH REVERSING CAPABILITIES BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to servo systems and, particularly, to servo systems including output element limiting means. More particularly, this invention relates to a servo system of the type described, including electrical limiting means effective without generating heat which must be dissipated.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART Positioning servo and torquing devices are often designed so that the excursion of the output element is limited by mechanical stops. Under stop conditions, the servo motor and its associated amplifier generate full power and the system components must be large and rugged enough to dissipate the resulting heat.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention contemplates position controlled limit switches in the amplifier circuit which eliminate the generation of such heat. An alternating signal is applied to the servo motor to rotate the motor shaft in a particular direction and for reversing the sense of the input signal to provide shaft rotation in the opposite direction. Rotation is stopped by position controlled limit switches actuated by cams on the motor shaft. The limit switches are further effective for commanding shaft rotation in an opposite direction.
One object of this invention is to provide limit switches for stopping the rotation of a motor and for reversing the direction of rotation without the generation of large quantities of heat which must be dissipated.
Another object of this invention is to prevent the servo system from generating full power under stop conditions.
Another object of this invention is to provide, in a servo system of thetype described, means for reversing servo motor shaft rotation when the motor is under stop conditions.
The foregoing and other objects and advantages of the invention will appear more fully hereinafter from a consideration of the detailed description which follows, taken together with the accompanying drawing wherein one embodiment of the invention is illustrated by way of example. It is to be expressly understood, however, that the drawings are for illustration purposes only and are not to be construed as defining the limits of the invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The single FIGURE in the drawing is an electrical schematic diagram of a servo system according to the invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION An alternating command signal E and an alternating follow-up signal 13,-, out of phase with signal E, are applied through resistors 2 and 4, respectively to a summing point 6 and summed thereat. The signal from summing point 6 is applied through a coupling 28 8 to an input terminal 10 of an operational amplifier 12. Operational amplifier 12 has another input terminal 14 connected to a biasing circuit including a resistor 16 connected to the positive terminal of a battery 18, and which battery 18 has a negative terminal connected to ground, and a resistor 20 connected in parallel with resistor l6 and battery 18. A power conductor 13 is connected to an amplifier power terminal 15 and is connected intermediate resistor 16 and battery 18.
Amplifier 12 has an output terminal 22 connected to input terminal 10 through a feedback circuit including a capacitor 24 and a resistor 26. A resistor 28 is con nected intermediate resistor 26 of amplifier 12, and is connected to a grounded capacitor 30. A resistor 32 is connected intermediate resistor 28. and capacitor 30 and intermediate output terminal 22 of amplifier l2 and capacitor 24. The feedback circuit provides dc bias feedback to amplifier 12.
A transformer 36 has a primary winding 38 connected to capacitor 24 and a pair of reversing secondary windings 40 and 42 inductively coupled to primary winding 38. Secondary winding 40 has one leg connected to a base 42 of a transistor 44 and another leg connected through a resistor 46 to emitter 48 of transistor 44. Transistor 44 has a collector element 50. Secondary winding 42 has one leg connected to a base 52 of a transistor 54 and another leg connected through a resistor 56 to an emitter element 58 of transistor 54. Transistor 54 has a collector element 53.
A transformer 82 has a primary winding 84 energized by a suitable source of alternating voltage 86 and a secondary winding 88 inductively coupled to primary winding 84. Secondary winding 88 has one leg connected to a switch 90 and another leg connected to a switch 92. Switch 90 is actuated by cam 74 and switch 92 is actuated by cam 76 on motor shaft 70.
OPERATION OF THE INVENTION Assuming signal E is the dominant input signal, the positive half cycle of the signal drives base 42 of transistor 44 positive and base 52 of transistor 54 negative and half-cycle c is applied to motor 62. During the negative half-cycle of input signal E base 52 of transistor 54 becomes positive and half-cycle b is applied to motor 62. Thus, a full cycle is developed across the motor to rotate the motor in a particular direction which may, for example, be clockwise. Reversing the phase of the input signal will apply half-cycles a and d to motor 62 providing counterclockwise rotation.
To stop clockwise rotation, it is merely required to interrupt half-cycles c and b by opening limit switch 90 through cam 74. Half-cycles a and d remain connected to the transistor in preparation for applying power to the motor upon a reverse rotation command. Similarly, limit switch 92 may be opened to interrupt counterclockwise power while switch 90, remaining closed, applies half-cycles c and b for clockwise commanded rotation.
It will now be seen from the foregoing description of the invention that the inclusion of position controlled limit switches 90 and 92 in the amplifier circuit is effective for eliminating generation of heat during stop conditions, and thus eliminates the necessity for dissipation of said heat in the motor and amplifier. Moreover, the system is capable of reverse rotation when in the stop position.
While one embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described in detail, it is to be expressly understood that the invention is not limited thereto. Various changes may also be made in the design and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as the same will now be understood by those skilled in the art.
