Title: Improvements connected with the Generation, Storage, and use of Electric Power particularly for Lighting Purposes.
Inventor: WALKER CHARLES BELL
IPC: H02P9/00
Filed: 1909-03-23
Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 6916. Walker, C. B. March 23. Systems of charging and discharging galvanic batteries.-The prime mover of a battery-charging dynamo is automatically started and stopped by the action of an end-cell regulating-switch, according to the state of the battery, while an arrangement is provided to prevent the dynamo from running as a motor if the prime mover should cease to operate. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the dynamo d is coupled to an internal-combustion engine c. A volt-meter g, placed across the battery a, is provided with two fixed contacts g<3>, g<4> and a movable contact g<2>. The battery a consists of a fixed number of cells a<2> and a number of regulating- cells a<3> controlled by a switch e. The switch e is operated by a reversible motor j, the fields of which are controlled by relays i, i<2>, while the dynamo d is connected or disconnected from the battery and the engine c is started or stopped by a switch f under the control of the switch e. When the battery a is fully charged, the switches occupy the positions shown in Fig. 1. When the potential falls, the contact g<2> engages the consact g<4>, thereby causing the switch i<2> to close the circuit of the motor j. The switch e is then operated to insert one or more of the cells a<3>, whereby the potential rises and the motor j is stopped. This operation continues until the whole of the cells a3 have been inserted. A further movement of the switch e opens a switch l in the circuit of the relay winding, and closes the switch f connecting the winding n<3> and field o<1> to the battery. The switch n then connects the machine d, which runs as a motor to drive the petrol engine, to the battery. A further movement of the switch n opens the starting-valve o of the engine, which drives the machine d as a dynamo. To prevent the machine d from running as a motor when the engine c fails, a switch s connected to a governor t engages a contact s<2> when the engine is running, thereby short-circuiting a time-limit cut-out r in the circuit of the field o'. When the engine fails, the fall in speed causes the switch s to insert the cut-out r, which eventually breaks the circuit of the field o'. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the dynamo d is driven by a motor, while the switch f operates to close the circuit of electro-magnets, the cores of which close the circuits of the motor and connect the dynamo d to the battery.
