BY M (NM!) MESSIN REMOTE CONTROL ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT Our invention relates to a remote control switching electrical circuit. It is particularly applicable to low voltage switching controls for domestic and commercial use wherein a relatively low voltage and current can be used for controlling relatively high voltage and- /or heavy current electrical circuits.
The electrical industry has heretofore used a low voltage push button for energizing a solenoid to control a switch in. a relatively high voltage circuit such as incandescent lights in lighting circuits.'Such circuits have usually taken the form of a source of low voltage such as from a step-down, transformer, a solenoid coil connected to said source of low voltage and a push button switch interposed in series between the secondary of the step-down transformer and the solenoid. The solenoid mechanically actuates an on-of switch in series in the high voltage circuit.
There are several obvious disadvantages to such circuits, one of the primary being that in the event the push button is inadvertantly depressed and held in the depressed condition electricity will continue to flow through the solenoid coil and will tend to overheat or damage the coil.
One of the primary objects of our invention is to provide a remote control system, which uponclosing the remote control switch button, generates a pulse for the operation of the remote solenoid, but will not continue to energize the solenoid even though the push button switch remains closed.
A further disadvantage of the heretofore known remote control circuits lies in the fact that the current in the remote control switch must be large enough and of sufficiently high voltage to operate the solenoid. A further advantage of our system lies in the fact that a much lower voltage and extremely low current can be used at the point of remote control than has heretofore been possible.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the drawings and specifications descriptive thereof.
In the drawings:
' FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of an electrical circuit adaptable for use in our invention.
FIG. 2 is a sine wave representing the alternating current input into the control circuit.
FIG. 3 is a distorted sine wave representing the form of the current at an intermediate point in the control circuit.
FIG. 4 is a representation of the pulse which actuates the solenoid.
FIG. 5 is a modified form of control circuit embodying the principles of our invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, we have provided a high voltage circuit comprising conductors and 11. It will be understood that the term high voltage" is relative to distinguish it from the-relatively lower voltage control cir cuits. Normally in an incandescent lighting circuit the high voltage circuit would be 110 volts.
The first control circuit comprises a step-down transformer T-l having its primary coil 12 connected across the conductors 10 and 11.
In the event that it is desired to further reduce the voltage or reduce the power across the primary coil 12 a resistor 13 may be provided in series with said coil 12.
The step-down transformer T-l is provided with a secondary or output coil 15 having terminals 16 and 17. The output circuit of the transformer T-ll comprises a circuit having a normally open push button switch 18, a rectifier 19, a capacitor 20 and an isolating transformer T-2 through primary coil 21 and terminals 22 and 23. A resistor 24 is connected in shunt across the capacitor 20 and isolating transformer T-2.
Isolating transformer T-2 has secondary coil 26 having output terminals 27 and 28. The output terminals 27 and 28 of coil 26 are connected to an electronic gate or electrical valve such as triac 30.
A solenoid coil31 is connected in series with the gate 30 across the high voltagelines 10 and 11 by means of conductors 32, 33 and 34.
The solenoid 31 is mechanically connected to an electromechanical switching device such as 35, preferably of a ratchet type so that each pulse, or actuation of the solenoid 31 will actuate the switching mechanism to successively make or break the electrical connection between the high voltage line 10 and the switch output terminal 36. It will be understood that the electrical device being energized or controlled by means of the switching device 35 will be connected across the terminals 36 and 37.
In the operation of the circuit an alternating current of relatively high potential is applied across the terminals l0 and 11. The high potential current has a sine wave form such as illustrated in FIG. 2. The resistor 13 performs a dual function in that it reduces the voltage across the primary coil 12 and also distorts the wave form to accentuate the peak of each alternating pulse such as in FIG. 3.
Upon closing the switch 18 the secondary circuit of the transformer T-l is completed, wherein half-wave pulses which are permitted to pass rectifier l9 charge capacitor 20. While capacitor 20 is being charged, current flows through coil I211 thereby inducing a series of pulses from coil 26.
In view of the fact that the first half wave cycle from coil 15 which passes through rectifier 19 substantially fully charges capacitor 20, the first half-wave pulse results in a relatively large pulse from the secondary coil 26 which is sufficiently large to turn on the gate 30. Because of the charged condition of capacitor 20, each successive half-wave through the rectifier 19 results in a successively diminishing pulse from coil 26 such as illustrated in FIG. 4.
Upon activating the gate 30, sufficient current flows through the solenoid 31 to activate the switch 35 to its next stage of either on or off.
It will be readily apparent that-once capacitor 20 is fully charged, it will make no difference how long switch 18 is held closed, because no further substantial current can flow through coil 26 to actuate gate 30 to a conductive state; therefore current will not continue to flow through solenoid coil 31.
Upon opening switch 18 capacitor 20 will be discharged through resistor 24. Resistor 24, of course, will be of sufficient resistance to prevent an excessively fast discharge of capacitor 201.
We have illustrated our invention in its broadest concept, that is, as a remote control electrical system. The primary objective is for a low voltage control of light circuits and other applicances in domestic and industrial uses by means of what is commonly known as a touch-plate system. It will be readily apparent that the switch 18 can assume the form ofa switch plate or pressure responsive switch which is adapted to actuate the solenoid switch 35 by being touched or pushedflt will be further apparent that we have eliminated one of the primary problems in connection with heretofore known touch-plate systems, in that, regardless of how long a user keeps switch 18 closed, there is no danger that the solenoid coil can overheat.
We have also devised and provided a system of remote control wherein the current and voltage used in the remote station may be extremely small compared even with the voltage required to actuate the electromechanical switching means.
FIG. 5 illustrates a modified form of a control circuit. Similar numbers in FIGS. 5 and 1 are intended to indicate similar parts. In this modification there is also a source of high voltage and 11.
A resistor 40and Zener diode 41 are connected in series across the source of high voltage 10 and 11 to thereby generate a low voltage square wave form across the Zener diode.
A capacitor 42 is connected in series with resistor 43, control switch 44 and resistor 45 in shunt across the Zener diode 41.
The capacitor 42 differentiates the square wave form from the Zener diode 41 into sharp pips, such as 47, at the front and trailing edge of the square wave form.
A diode 49 is connected to the high voltage source 10 through resistor 40 and to collector 51 through resistor 50 and to high voltage source 11 through capacitor 52. The diode 49, resistor 50 and capacitor 52 form a half wave power supply for transistor T-3.
In the operation of the modified circuit, resistor 40 limits the voltage across the Zener diode 41 to any desired low voltage, and generates a square wave form potential, which, together with capacitor 42 produces sharp pulses such as 47 at the leading and trailing edge of the square wave form. Diode 49, resistor 50 and capacitor 52 form a half wave power supply.
In the normal state capacitor 42 remains charged and no current flows until resistors 43 and 45 are connected in a return path by means of switch 44. When the return path is complete, positive pulses trigger transistor T-3 through diode 56.
When transistor T-3 is triggered to on" or conductive condition, capacitor 52 discharges through transistor T-3, most of the discharge occuring on the first pulse. So long as switch 44 remains closed, no further charge of capacitor 42 is possible.
The discharge through transistor T-3 and resistor 54 produces a pulse across resistor 54 which is coupled through diode 57 to the gate or triac 30, triggering the triac, or electronic gate to on condition.
Since the pulses originate synchronically from the high voltage line frequency, the trigger pulse at the triac gate 30 is occuring at the same time the line voltage is increasing at the triac anode. The gate 30 (or triac) turns on for the duration of the half-cycle of the A-C power thereby actuating the solenoid to turn the switch to on or off positions. Maximum pulse amplitude occurs upon discharge of capacitor 52 coincident with the first pulse from transistor T-3. The time constant of resistor 50 and capacitor 52 is such that capacitor 52 cannot charge sufficiently between pulses to sustain 5 constant triggering of the gate of-triac 30.
Whereas we have described our invention in one of its more practical embodiments it will be understood that our invention is not limited to the specific configuration shown herein, but is more clearly delineated in the appended claims.
