911,796. Control of D.C. motors. WARNER & SWASEY CO. Nov. 16, 1959 [Dec. 15, 1958], No. 38718/59. Class 38 (3). [Also in Group XXXV] The armature 12 of an electric motor is supplied through thyratrons 17, 18, connected back-to-back and controlled by a signal voltage across lines 34, 35, the phase and magnitude of this voltage determining the polarity and magnitude of the current supplied to the armature. The signal voltage has four components corresponding to four input voltages to amplifier 40 which are applied at terminals 38, 39. A reference voltage applied through resistor 45 has a phase indicative of the desired direction of motor operation and a magnitude which represents the desired speed, a velocity feed-back signal being derived from tachometer generator 48 to oppose the reference voltage. A feed-back signal dependent upon the armature current is applied to the input terminals of the amplifier 40 in additive relation to the reference voltage so that, if the load tends to increase, an increase in armature current is effected to anticipate the load change. The current feed-back signal is obtained from resistor 20 through transformer 59, the polarity of the voltage applied to transformer winding 58 being the same regardless of which one of the thyratrons is conducting. The pulsating output current of the transformer 59 is smoothed in filter circuit 62. A third feed-back signal is applied to the input of amplifier 40 in opposition to the control signal applied through resistor 45, this feed-back signal being derived from acceleration tachometer 64 of the drag cup-type having a D.C. field coil 65 and output coil 66. The output current of the generator 64 is converted to A.C. in bridge circuit 72 and transformer 73 which has its output amplified in amplifier 103. The acceleration feed-back signal tends to prevent over-shooting of the desired rate of speed. A plurality of pulses, each indicating a desired increment of movement of the armature 12 may be applied to a reversible counter which sums the pulses, an analogue voltage being provided whose magnitude indicates the number stored in the counter. This voltage is converted to an alternating voltage to supply current through a phase-control circuit and resistor 45 to the amplifier 40. As the motor rotates, pulses indicating the removal of an increment are fed back to the reversible counter and subtracted from the number stored therein, Fig. 4 (not shown). |
