摘要:
A multi-phase generator has a separately excited shunt field which is controlled by a voltage regulator. A free-wheeling diode is connected in parallel with the field. The voltage regulator is included in a single, hermetically sealed housing which has a metal base plate forming one terminal of the voltage regulator; two insulated terminals project from the voltage regulator and are sealed, in insulated relation, through the housing, preferably the base plate. Three monolithic semi-conductor integrated circuit (IC) chips are located within the sealed housing, two of them soldered to the base plate so that one of the semi-conductor connections of the chip are directly connected to the base plate, the connection being for the collector of the power transistor and the anode of the free-wheeling diode, the control portion of the voltage regulator being secured to a ceramic plate which is attached to the base plate, other terminals from the voltage regulator are being effected internally, by bonding wires, and to the two externally excessible contacts, so that the entire assembly is simple, readily manufactured, and requires little assembly, labor and time for connection to an alternator structure.

摘要:
A temperature-sensitive portion of the circuit of a voltage regulator of a vehicular battery charging system is located in or on the battery for simultaneously sensing the battery voltage and the battery temperature so as to provide through a single additional connection the necessary information to the remainder of a voltage regulator which is mounted in the vehicle generator. The temperature-sensitive portion of the voltage regulator components, which may be constituted by a single resistor, can be located in a housing in the connection clamp to the ungrounded terminal of the battery, in the filling cap of a battery cell or in a cavity in the battery case.

To permit direct attachment of a deceleration sensing element to a printed circuit board or the like, a housing (2) made of insulating material retains therein a flexing or bending piezo-ceramic transducer (4) which is electrically connected to terminals (5) passing through the housing, spaced by standard printed circuit board hole spacings from each other; electrical connection between the piezo-ceramic flexing or bending transducer (4) and the terminals (5) is obtained by an electrically conductive adhesive (6) filled into chambers formed in the housing and extending from both sides of the flexing or bending transducer. The housing is preferably encapsulated by a coating of silicone rubber, and can be inserted into a groove (9) in a support side wall (1) by an externally projecting winged spring (10), and secured therein by an adhesive (8).
摘要:
To permit elimination of separate exciter diodes of a vehicular three-phase alternator, and yet reliably ensure protection of the vehicular battery and provide an indication of discharge of the battery and hence possible failure of any excitation for the alternator, while additionally providing an indication of possible damage to the battery due to overvoltage conditions, the field of the alternator is separately excited from the battery through a voltage regulator connected to the main switch, and a low-voltage and high-voltage indicator is connected in parallel to the battery, preferably an LED triggered to illumination upon response of one of two threshold sensing circuits which sense undervoltage and overvoltage conditions of the battery beyond a predetermined voltage range.
摘要:
A housing for receiving electric control devices for motor vehicles, wherein the total motor vehicle electronics together with the detachable connecting means is mounted. The control devices (17 to 21) which are required, depending on the equipment of the motor vehicle, are individually installable into and removable from the housing and each is provided with a base plate which acts as a cooling part and has guiding edges insertable into guide grooves formed in the housing. The base plates are pushable tightly against the housing (1) by means of a locking device, so as to ensure a large heat dissipation face at both sides of each base plate, whereby the housing can only be tightly closed with a lid when the control devices are property installed and pressed against the heat dissipation faces of the housing.
摘要:
To permit one-hand operation of engagement and disengagement of separable electrical connectors, for example of multi-terminal connectors in automotive use, the connectors are formed with adjacent side walls fitting within each other; the inner side walls of one part are formed with locking projections extending laterally outwardly and having at least one flat engaging surface extending transversely to unlocking direction, and fitting against a matching engaging surface formed on the side wall of the other part. To permit unlocking, the inner side wall is formed with a projecting fulcrum bead or ridge, the side wall of the other part being extended beyond the fulcrum bead or ridge so that, upon compression of the extending portion over the fulcrum bead or ridge, the side wall of the other part will be resiliently deflected outwardly, thus releasing the engagement surfaces from each other.

To increase the heat capacity of a heat sink and heat dissipating structure combined with an electrical component, typically a transistor, for example of the TO 220 or SOT 93 type, a heat transferring base plate (3), with the interposition of an insulating, heat conducting foil (6), engages one flat surface of the element (11), and a second heat transferring element (17) is provided, pressed by a spring (24) against the other major surface, or a portion of the component (11). A plastic holder (7) is provided, attached to the base plate (3) for example by snap-in hooks (8), formed with openings to receive the component, and position the component against the base plate while, also, being formed with abutments to position the second heat transferring element which, for example, is block or plate-like. The spring, preferably, is a leaf spring having projecting arms extending, from both sides of a central portion (25), over two adjacently located components (11) and the second heat transferring elements (17) respectively, and engaging the holder (7) to form a subassembly therewith, the subassembly then being riveted, by rivets extending through the spring (24) to the base plate.
摘要:
A plurality of threshold switches or comparators, at least two and preferably five to seven are provided to compare actual generator output voltage (u.sub.g) with respect to various threshold levels derived from battery voltage, and normal and abnormal and highly abnormal or excessive voltage conditions. Actual generator voltage is sensed by providing a separate set of rectifiers (14) connected to the generator (10) and providing output voltage signals representative only of the magnetism of the field--remanent or excited--and generator speed, independently of loading and battery voltage, to permit monitoring actual operation of the generator in relation to the connected network and battery. One (76) of the threshold switches or comparators is provided to inhibit energization of the field winding by the voltage regulator (20) if the voltage of the generator, as sensed, exceeds a predetermined level (eg. 18 V in a 12 V system), other threshhold switches providing malfunction indication upon concurrence of either excessive voltage, or undervoltage conditions at various test points within the generator-voltage regulator network system and combination.
