This invention relates to circuits for photolectric cells oi the flat disk or barrier layer type, d more particularly to measuring relay circuits n which the direction and magnitude of current ow are to depend upon a diil'erence in the light I tensities at two cells oi the barrier layer type.
It has been found impractical to connect cureat-generating photoelectric cells of the barrier layer type diilerentially in series opposition, that is, in a single series circuit including two cells and a current responsive device, the circuit conections being such that the voltage generated in one cell directly opposes that generated in the other. This arises from the fact that the voltage and resistance characteristics of these cells are ail'ected by temperature and other effects. Since each cell works into the other, the current output of each is not determined solely by the light intensity at that cell but varies with the voltage and resistance of the second cell. On the other hand, the current generated in a relatively low resistance circuit is practically independent oi temperature conditio and is stable. For this reason, each cell mus be so connected in a relatively low resistance circuit, and the circuits so arranged that the effects of the currents can be diilerentially combined in opposition.
An object of the invention is to provide a sensitive and stable photoelectric cell circuit including a pair of cells of the barrier layer type and a current response member subjected to the diil'erential action of currents generated by the cells. A further object is to provide a circuit of the type stated, and in which current generated by one cell may flow in a circuit which does not include the other cell. More particularly, an object is to provide a relay system including a pair of photoelectric-cells of the barrier layer type and a'relay, the electrical network of said cells including a common path or branch in which the relay is located and in which the separate cells tend to establish current flow in opposite directions, and other branches which complete a series circuit for each cell.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following specification when taken with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig.1 is a circuit diagram of an embodiment of the invention which is appropriate for a determination of the relative illumination of two photoelectric cells;
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary circuit diagram of a relay circuit embodying the invention; and
signer to Weston Electrical Instrument Corporatlon, Newark, N. 1., a corporation or New Original No. 2,032,010, dated February 25, 1938, Serial No. 877,332, June 23, 1833. Application for reissue February 10, 1933, Serial No. 189,905
12 Claims. 250-415) Figs. 3 and 4 are circuit diagrams of measuring systems embodying the invention.
In the drawing, the reference numerals l, 2, identify two photoelectric cells of the direct action or barrier layer type, the cells being usually of similar design and operating characteristics. The cells are subjected to illumination from two different sources or to light rays reaching the cells from the same source but by different paths. As
represented diagrammatically in the drawing, this condition of unequal illumination may obtain when the cells I, 2 are illuminated by separate light sources 3, 4, respectively, a shield 5 being positioned to prevent a cross-illumination of the cells. I
A measuring instrument 6 is a series element in the lead I that connects similar electrodes 8 of the two cells, and the other pair of similar electrodes 9 are joined by a lead Ill. It will be noted that leads I and I0 complete a series circuit which includes the cells and instrument, the cells being oppositely arranged in the circuit and thereby tending to establish current flow in opposite directions.
In accordance with the invention, additional circuit elements are provided to complete relatively independent circuits for each cell. As illustrated, a resistance II is shunted across the measuring instrument, and an adjustable tap I! on the resistance is connected to the lead l0 through a connection l3. If desired, a scale It may be provided to indicate, on some convenient system of graduations, the setting of the tap I2 along resistance II.
The added circuit elements cooperate with the original series circuit to form a plurality of loop circuits which have portions in common, but in which the cells are in the non-common portions of diflerent loop circuits. When either cell is darkened, the resistance of the loop circuit of that cell is very high, but the loop circuit of the other cell provides a relatively low resistance path for current flow in accordance with the illumination at the other cell.
The tap I2 is adjustable over resistance II to balance the current output from the two cells, but not their output voltages, by regulating the magnitude of the sections or resistance II which are included'in the two loop circuits. This operation does not involve a comparison of the resistances of the photocells or a comparison of the values of the two sections into which resistance II is divided by the tap i2, since the circuit does not have the general form of and does not function as a Wheatstone bridge. The
electro-motive forces from self-generating cells are balanced against those diflerences oi poten tialacrossresistorswhichareproducedbycurrents from the respective cells. The circuit elements which divide the main series circuit into loop circuits are passive, i. e., do not include batteries or other sources oi current which are essential ior Wheatstone bridge operation.
When the system includes a measuring instrument or galvanometer 5, the apparatus may be employed for brilliancy, on or opacity measurements, and the substitution oi a relay for the instrument permits the automatic operation of mechanism in accordance with variations in these factors.
In the relay system shown in Fig. 2, the general circuit arrangement is, or may be, substantially identical with that 01' Fig. 1, except that the moving coil l5 oi a'relay is connected in lead I, the relay including a contact arm I which is movable between contacts II, II to close a circuit including a current source I! and. respectively, the responsive devices 20 or 2|. By adjusting the tap I! to bring the contact arm I. into its neutral position when the cells develop equal currents, or currents bearing a predetermined ratio to each other, a departure in either sense from that initial condition of illumination and resulting current ilow will result in a deflection of contact arm it towards one or the other of contacts II, It.
The circuit shown in Fig. 3 provides a simple and efliclent instrument arrangement for measuringthe relative illumination of the photoelectric cells I, 2. Like electrodes 8 of each cell are connected by leads I to the separate coils olcoil sections of a measuring instrument 8', and the common junction of the coils is connected by lead II to the jumper or common lead ll of the other pair 01' like electrodes 9 oi the cells. The sections of the instrument coil are so positioned that the deflection oi the pointer varies as the ratio of the currents generated by the separate cells.
In the similar measuring circuit of Fig. 4, the two sections of the moving coil system are so positioned that currents flowing from the two cells, as indicated by the arrows, exert opposite eilects upon the motion of the complete coil system, and the resulting deflection is proportional to the difl'erence in the current outputs of the two cells. As with the other forms of the invention, it is to be noted that the path of current flow of each cell does not include the other cell.
' The exact circuit arrangement 0! 1 networks embodying the invention is subject to e variation, so long as the current responsi device is located in a branch oi the network in which currentflow from the two cells tends to establish opposite eflects, and the cells are located in the non-common portion of two loop circuits which have at least a portion in common.
