14 Claims. (Cl. 178-90) This invention relates to electrical countinfl systems, and its object is to secure improvements in counting and denoting electrical impulses.
Heretoiore systems have been provided for recording or measuring by means of repeated operations of -a meter the time a contact remains closed on a relay. Such systems usually consist of a condenser shunted by a neon lamp or spacedischarge device, the condenser being 2 charged gradually by the closing of the contacts in series with a source of energy and when the condenser has received a certain charge the potential causes the neon lamp to break down and thereby cause a relay in series with this breakdown path through the tube to operate and cause the operation of the meter. These operations are repeated as long as the contacts are closed to record by the repeated operations 01' the meter the time the contacts are closed. This time may be calculated due to the constant charging time of the condenser, that is, the charging time of the condenser being constant, the number of times the meter operates may be used, as an indication of the time the contacts are closed.
It is a feature of the present invention to count and denote, by means of similar circuits, the number of operations of contacts. The arrangement is such that a first condenser is charged from a source of energy under control of the contacts and then a second condenser is charged from the first condenser under control of the contacts. This operation is repeated until the second condenser has accumulated a charge equal to the breakdown potential of a discharge 5 device, for example, of the three-element type in series with the second condenser. The breaking down of the discharge device indicates or denotes that the contacts have operated a certain number of times. The number of operations of the con- 40 tacts required to cause the breakdown of the discharge device is governed by the ratio oi the capacities of the condensers. Relays or other electrically responsive apparatus may be inserted in the breakdown path through said device to oper- 45 ate each time said device breaks down for indicating purposes.
Another feature of this invention is the provision of means for repeatedly charging one condenser and discharging it into another condenser 50 under control of electrical contact operations and for causing a discharge device of the controlelectrode type to break down when a certain charge has been accumulated on the second condenser to denote the number of operations of the 55 electrical contacts.
Another feature of this invention is the provision oi means associated with the discharge device in a system of this kind for changing at will the number of operations of the contacts required to cause the breakdown oi. the device. 6
The invention has been illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Fig. 1 shows a gas-filled tube of the three-element type used as a discharge device.
Figs. 2, 3 and 4 show a three-element tube in 10 various m'odified forms of the invention.
Fig. 5 shows an arrangement similar to those disclosed in Figs. 1 to 4 with the exception that the filament potential may be varied in accordance with a modified application of the invention. 15
The tubes used in the circuit according to this invention may be of any suitable construction such as the three-element tubes well known in the art. They may also be of the heated cathode type, or cold cathode type such as the grid glow 20 tubes. It should be understood that these tubes may be filled with neon or any other suitable gas, or that they may be of the vacuum type.
Referring now to Fig. 1, tube I is a gas-filled three-element discharge device that breaks down 25 at a definite voltage. The discharge of tube I may be controlled as desired by the biasing potential applied across the cathode and control electrode. The primarily charged condenser 2 is connected to a source of unidirectional current 3 30 through the operating contacts 4 to ground with the contacts in one position and in series with the condenser 5 with the contacts in another position.
In shunt of the condenser 5 is placed the tube I, a relay 1 and a source of local battery 8. Tile contacts 4 may be a set of pulsing contacts controlled by any well-known impulse responsive relay such as is generally employed in automatic telephone systems, and the relay 1 may operate any well known indicating circuit such as a lamp signal circuit. A specific application of the applicant's invention has been disclosed in applicant's Patent 2,002,219 of May 21, 1935.
The operation of the device is as follows: Each time the contacts 4 operate to establish the connection from ground to battery 3 with the condenser 2 and resistance III in series, condenser 2 is charged to a certain potential; and each time the contacts 4 establish a connection with condenser 2, resistance ill and condenser 5 in series, condenser 2 discharges into condenser 5. When these operations have taken place a sufilcient number of times depending on the ratio of capacities between these condensers, the voltage built up on condenser 5 aided by the voltage 01' battery I is equal to the breakdown voltage or the tube I, so that the tube will then become conductive and reduce the voltage of condenser I to the restoring voltage of the tube. The voltage on condenser I will then again be built up by charges from condenser 2 and the above operations will be repeated. The discharge from condenser I may be utilized for operating the control relay I which may be used as another indicator oi the number oi operations of the contacts 4 for each cycle. These indications may be interpreted as counting and denoting means for the number of operations of the contacts 4. The resistance 2 may be included in the tube circuit to control the currents for theoperation oi the relay 1 and to protect the tube, while the resistance ll may be included in the circuit for condensers 2 and I to protect the contacts 4 and to prevent direct application of the voltage across condenser 2 to the tube. Resistance It may be small enough so that condenser 2 will be charged and discharged practically instantaneously. The number or operations of the contacts 4 required to cause the break down of the tube I is, of course, governed by the ratio of the capacity 01' condenser 2 to that oi condenser I.
In general, the operations described inconnection with Fig. 1 apply also to the operations of the modified forms of the invention, as shown in Figs. 2 to 5. The reference characters in the various figures referring to identical elements are the same.
In Fig. 2 the voltage of condenser I changes the voltage of the grid oi the tube l with respect to the filament. When this voltage reaches a certain value the tube l breaks down and a steady current is obtained through the plate circuit and the control relay l4. This relay will then remain operated until the plate circuit is opened in any well known manner by, for example, contacts II.
Fig. 3 shows a similar arrangement to that shown in Fig. 2. The break down of the tube in this case is accomplished after a given number of operations of the contacts 4. As the potential across the condenser I increases the condenser plate connected to the grid of the tube l becomes less and less negative with respect to the filament, the potential of which is determined by the electrical position in the potentiometer arrangement, the arms of which consist of resistances l1 and it. When the potential drop across the condenser 5 becomes only slightly, less than across the arm in which resistance I! is located, the grid will be only slightly negative with respect to the filament. The tube will then break down and cause the operation of the control relay l4. Relay remains operated until released by the breaking of the plate circuit by the opening of contacts l5. In this case a large degree of independence, from the effect of voltage variations, is obtained by placing the filament in the potentiometer circuit. The explanation for this lies in the fact that the drop across resistance ll of the potentiometer arrangement and across the condenser 5 after a number of operations of the contacts 4 are both proportional to the applied voltage from source 3. Just previous to the break down of the tube l they are practically equal, since they differ only by the grid to filament potential which causes the break down. Therefore the number of operations of the contacts 4 which will cause break down of the tube is practically independent of the applied voltage from the condenser 5 within reasonable limits.
Inl'ig.4isshownamethodoteliminatingany inaccuracy due to the variations in filament current caused by applied voltage variations. The filament is supplied by a separate source oi current 20 and the current is regulated by ballast lamp 2|. Otherwise the operation of this circuit isthesameasthatoithecircuit showninl 'lg. 3.
Fig. 5 shows a modified form of the invention applied to a pulse counting arrangement in which the tube I of the three-element type breaks down when a sufiicient charge has been accumulated on the condenser I by the repeated charging from condenser 2 due to the operations of contacts 4 to cause relay 1 to operate through the plate circuit. The difference here is that the tube will break down on difierent numbers of operations of the contacts 4 depending on which one of the keys 2'! to II is operated. The operation of any one of these keys determines the positive bias of the filament in respect to the potential on the grid. For example, it key 21 is operated, the positive bias on the filament will be less than it, for example, key 28 is operated as the operation of this key 2! places a less positive potential on the filament in respect to the grid due to the inclusion of the resistance 22 only in the circuit between the battery 33 and the filament with respect to the ground 34, than if key 22 is operated when both resistances 22 and II are included between the battery 38 and the filament. Consequently a less charge is required on condenser I before the tube breaks when key 21 is operated than when key 28 is operated and hence a less number of operations is required of the contacts 4 before relay 1 operates. By this arrangement, the relay 1 may be made to operate to indicate various numbers of operations of the contacts 4.
