摘要:
A device for sensing pressure at a source thereof comprising a housing with a fluid pressure responsive diaphragm movable therein for defining therewith an expansible chamber for communication with the source of pressure the magnitude of which is to be sensed, and a transducer. The transducer includes a body of magnetoelastic material of generally annular form positioned within the housing and having magnetic properties which vary as a function of the stress to which the body is subjected in response to movement of the diaphragm. Electrical circuitry responds to stress-induced changes in the magnetic properties to produce an electrical signal having a value which is a function of the magnitude of the fluid pressure. The device includes an actuator, which is movable with the diaphragm, for accepting and retaining a sector of the annular body and a cradle generally fixed in relation to the housing for accepting and retaining a diametrically opposite sector of the annular body. An increase in the fluid pressure in the expansible chamber tends to compress the annular body between the actuator and the cradle. A smart pressure switch including logic circuitry and the pressure sensing device, air conditioning systems incorporating such sensing and control devices, and methods of sensing pressure and controlling the operation of air conditioning systems are also described.

A method of assembling a combination starter-protector device. In this method, a first and second terminal are interconnected, and another of the first terminals is mounted to the terminal mounting piece. The second terminal is associated with an aperture extending through a casing member, and the first named first terminal is extended through an opening in the casing member. The terminal mounting piece is disposed in a position with respect to the casing member to at least in part close the opening therein, and thereby the another first terminal is extended through the opening in spaced apart relation with the first named first terminal. Another casing member is associated generally in mating relation with the first named casing member and the terminal mounting piece, and thereby a chamber is enclosed within the casing members.

A method of assembling a combination starter-protector device and mounting it in a preselected assembly position onto at least a pair of plug terminals associated with a housing having a dynamoelectric machine arranged therein and with the at least plug terminal pair connected in circuit relation with a winding circuit of the dynamoelectric machine. The combination starter-protector device includes a pair of separable casing members, a PTCR, an overload protector, and at least a pair of female terminals. In this method, the PTCR, the protector device and the at least female terminal pair are enclosed within the casing members, and a resilient means is releasably secured generally about a major peripheral portion of the casing members for retaining them against separation. The at least plug terminal pair are in electrical contacting engagement respectively within the at least female terminal pair so as to mount the combination starter-protector device in its preselected assembly position, and a part of the resilient means is releasably attached with a part of the housing at least generally adjacent the at least plug means pair associated therewith so as to releasably maintain the combination starter-protector device against displacement from its preselected assembly position.A combination starter-protector device and a method of assembling such are also disclosed.
