Definitions
- the present invention relates to solenoid assemblies and more particularly to a novel solenoid assembly especially advantageous for use in dot matrix impact printers and the like due to its capability of providing rapid acceleration in the impact direction and rapid return to its normal position preparatory to subsequent energization and further providing increased throw as compared with conventional designs.
- Solenoid assemblies of the general category described herein are extremely advantageous for use in high speed dot matrix printers of the impact type such as, for example, that described in US. Pat. No.. 3,703,949 issued Nov. 28, 1971 to Robert Howard entitled High Speed Printer and assigned to the assignee of the present case.
- the printer described therein is capable of forming characters or other symbols by selectively impacting one or more of the slender print wires against an inking ribbon so as to print dots" upon the surface of the paper document. Since printing speed is of the essence in such devices. it becomes quite important to provide an apparatus for rapidly impacting the print wires and rapidly returning the print wires to the rest position.
- the printing speed in the above-mentioned printing apparatus is of the order of 50 to 165 characters per second depending on the gap in the solenoid which could be from 0.015 to 0.018.
- solenoid assemblies of the type described in the abovementioned copending application discloses such a solenoid assembly which provides an extremely long useful operating life
- the print wires are caused to move a distance of the order of 0.1 inch between the rest position and the impact position.
- a significantly increased throw i.e., total linear movement
- the present invention is characterized by providing a solenoid assembly which incorporates a novel spring element employed to achieve the characteristics described hereinabove.
- the solenoid assembly of the present invention comprises a case for housing the coil and armature.
- a stem portion threadedly engages the forward end of the housing and is provided with an axially aligned elongated opening for receiving and reciprocally mounting a slender elongated print wire.
- the rearward end of the print wire is fixedly secured to the solenoid armature at the forward end of the armature.
- the rearward end of the armature is fixedly secured to a spring member of the spiral type at its central portion.
- the peripheral portion of the spring rests against an annular-shaped spacer which abuts a shoulder provided therefor within the solenoid housing.
- the rearward portion of the armature assembly abuts the projection of a cap member which threadedly engages and seals the rearward end of the housing.
- the cap member is adjustable to regulate the amount of stress or tension (i.e., preloading) imposed upon the spring member and also provides for half cycle snubbing as anti-bounce device.
- a tubular wire guide is positioned within the solenoid assembly stem portion and is appropriately lubricated so to reduce wearing of the reciprocating print wire extending therethroughf
- the spiral spring means is formed from a llat sheet of prehardened tempered spring steel or any other suitable material exhibiting similar characteristics.
- the spring has a centrally located hub portion for joinder with the rearward end of the armature.
- the spring may be compared with an elongated leaf spring which has been constructed in the form of a tight spiral with the entire length of the leaf spring lying within an imaginary plane.
- the particular spiral design employed may be either an Acrhimedean spiral or an involute ofa line wherein separate interleaving spirals are cut or otherwise formed within the flat spring steel disc. This provides for a relatively long active beam over which the deflection stresses can be absorbed.
- the spring maintains the slender print wire of its solenoid in the quiescent condition when the solenoid coil is deenergized.
- the electromagnetic field urges the armature toward the forward end of the solenoid assembly.
- This force overcomes the spring constant of the spring member to deflect the center portion of the spring member secured to the armature relative to the outer periphery which rests against the aforementioned shoulder.
- the spring constant of the spring is substantially linear with increasing deflection over the entire range which is substantially increased by as much as 3 to 5 times the throw of conventional solenoid assemblies. This spring design permits significantly increased throw of the sole noid print wire without causing the spring member to be deflected beyond its elastic limit while at the same time providing a spring structure having an extremely long useful operating life.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel spring member of the leaf spring type in the form of a circular disc member having spiral grooves cut therein, which is extremely advantageous for use in printers of the dot matrix type.
- FIG. 3 is a plan view showing another spring design embodying the principles of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 shows another alternative embodiment of the present invention.
- the solenoid assembly I0 shown best in FIG. I, is comprised of a cylindrical shaped case 11 which is also described in detail in U.S. Pat. 3,690,431 issued Sept. 12, 1972 to Robert Howard entitled Print Head Assembly Containing Solenoids" and assigned to the assignee of the present case (see FIG. la thereof) which is incorporated herein by reference thereto.
- the case is a hollow cylindrical member provided with a recessed shoulder llu spaced inwardly from its righthand end. The right-hand end is threaded at 11C for receiving an adjustable threaded closing cap 23.
- the forward end of casing 11 is further provided with a slot 110 through which the leads 17a and 17b of the solenoid extend so as to couple the solenoid to the peripheral driving circuitry. not shown herein for purposes of simplicity.
- Case 11 receives a stem member 12 having a threaded portion 12:! threadedly engaging a tapped mounting hole provided in a print head assembly such as. for example. that described in copending U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 179,457 filed Sept. 10, 1971 by Robert Howard entitled "Printer Head Assembly and assigned to the assignee of the present application.

- the rearward most portion 121' of stem 12 has a diameter which is less than both flange 12b and threaded portion l2u with the extreme right-hand end portion 12b being of still further reduced diameter so as to form a shoulder 12c positioned between sections 120 and 1211.
- Stem 12 is provided with an axially aligned opening which is comprised of portion 12f of a first diameter and portion 12g of slightly enlarged diameter extending therethrough.
- the extreme left-hand end portion 1211 is tapered to form a conical entrance portion to facilitate the insertion of a hollow tubular elongated wire guide 14 which is positioned within opening portion 12g so that its right-hand end abuts against shoulder l2j positioned between portions 12f and 12g of the axially aligned opening.
- the wire guide is preferably forcefitted within opening 12g so as to experience no linear movement relative to stem 12 when the solenoid is operating.
- the interior of wire guide 14 is preferably coated with a suitable lubricant to reduce friction losses and wearing of print wire 15 which is mounted for reciprocating movement therethrough.
- the hollow cylindrical portion 16a is preferably forcefitted upon the right-hand portion 12d of stem 12.
- the flanges 12b and 16b, the stem portion 12c, the tubular portion 16a and the interior surface of case 11 define a hollow interior space which is provided for receiving the solenoid coil 17 whose turns or windings are wound about stem portion and tubular portion 16a with the axial length of the windings being defined and physically limited by flanges 12b and 16b.

- the right-hand end portion of print wire 15 is mounted within an axially aligned opening 18a provided within the solenoid armature 18.
- Armature 18 is substantially cylindrical in shape and is further provided with a right-hand portion of reduced diameter relative to the main body portion, forming an annular shoulder.
- the right-hand portion of armature 18 is further provided with an axially aligned opening for receiving a fastening member to secure the armature to spring member 19.
- Aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 3,690,431 shows a detailed view of the armature member in FIG. lb thereof.
- a solenoid spring 19 is mounted upon armature 18 so that its central opening (to be more fully described in connection with FIGS. 2 and 3) receives the reduced diameter portion of armature l8 and rests against the aforementioned annular shoulder.
- a stress relief washer 20 is positioned upon spring 19 so that its central opening receives the reduced diameter portion of armature 18.
- a fastening member 21 has a shaft portion (not shown) passing through the openings in washer 20, spring 19 and armature opening 18d so as to firmly secure washer 20 and spring 19 to the righthand end of armature 18 with a minimum of stress concentration applied to the center section of the spring.
- Spring member 19 has a substantially circular-shaped outer periphery, as will be described in detail hereinbelow.
- a ring-shaped spacer member 22' has its left-hand surface bearing against shoulder 11b of solenoid case 11 and has its right-hand surface bearing against the periphery of spring 19.
- the spacer 22, spring 19 and armature 18 are maintained in position within case 11 by means of cap 23 which is provided with a threaded portion 23a which threadedly engages tapped portion 23b whose left-hand surface bears against the head of fastener 21.
- An axially aligned opening 230 is provided for adjusting the preloading of spring 19 in a manner to be more fully described.
- a linear groove 23d is provided in the left-hand surface of cap 23 to facilitate insertion of an adjusting tool such as, for example, a screwdriver head. By rotating cap 23 within casing 11, the amount of preloading of spring 19 may be easily and accurately controlled.
- the various components of the solenoid assembly are adjustable so as to facilitate fine adjustment thereof.
- an epoxy 25 may be deposited in the region shown in FIG. 1 to rigidly maintain cap 23 in the desired position. From the foregoing, it can be seen that the initial assembly of the solenoid can be performed in a simple, straightforward fashion, since relatively little concern need be given at the time of initial assembly to the final adjustment thereof.
- the final and accurate adjustment of the solenoid assembly may then be performed, at which time epoxy is deposited at the forward and rearward portions of the housing in the manner shown in FIG. 1 to retain the components in their desired alignment.
- the amount of preloading exerted upon spring member 19 may be measured by the insertion of a probe (not shown) through axial opening 23C. After precise adjustment of the preloading, the epoxy may be deposited at the position 25 as shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 2 is a detailed plan view of one preferred embodiment of spring 19 shown in FIG. 1 which is comprised of a central portion 19a having a central opening 191: for receiving the reduced diameter portion of armature 18.

- FIG. 2a shows the spring characteristics of spring 19 wherein spring deflection d is plotted along the X-axis, while spring force], is plotted along the Y-axis.
- the slope C relates deflection to spring force. From the point of zero deflection (i.e., with the spring in its normal undeflected state) the spring which is preloaded follows a constant spring rate slope. Low stress springs of this design having high length to deflection ratios have proven highly successful for use in solenoids where the length of travel reaches a maximum of 0.085 inch whereas springs of aforementioned US. Pat. No. 3,690.43] have been found to reach their elastic limit and to become permanently deformed after deviation distances of the order of 0.015 inch.
- the positioning of the cap 23 with respect to the neutral position of the spring 19 prohibits reverse bending hence eliminates bounce, i.e.,: rearward kinetic energy is dissipated in impacting the cap 23.
- the caps absorbtion characteristics are enhanced by the selection of a suitable plastic material.
- FIG. 3 shows a modified spring member 19' having a central portion 19a provided with a central opening 191) for receiving the fastening member which joins it to armature 18.
- the spring member is provided with a circular periphery 19c and is further provided with two spiralshaped slots 19d and 19e whose inner ends 19f and 19g respectively, lie along a first diameter D, and whose outer ends 1911 and l9j lie opposite one another along a diameter D
- the spiral shaped elongated slots 19d and 19e' are of slightly greater width W than the width W of the spiral-shaped slots provided in the spring 19 of FIG. 2.
- the spirals 19d and of FIG. 2 represent curves lying in a plane which are generated by a point moving away from or toward a fixed point at a constant rate while the radius vector from the flxed'point rotates at a constant rate. Such a spiral is known is an Archimedean spiral.
- the pair of spiralshaped slots 19d and 190 can be said to define an elongated leaf type spring which is wound in a tight spiral manner so that the entire leaf spring lies within a plane.
- the characteristics of the spring force for the spring 19' of FIG. 3 are substantially similar to those shown in FIG. 2a.
- the print wires are moved a distance of the order of 0.075 inch from the rest position to the impact position.
- Relationship of force plotted against deflection distance is a similar linear relationship as compared with the logarithmic relationship obtained from the spring design of the spring shown in FIG. 2 of the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 3,690,431.
- the linear spring force characteristic greatly simplifies the determination of the required driving force provided by the solenoid coil 17 while the design further provides a greatly increased amount of deflection without causing the spring to be deflected beyond its elastic limit.
- the spring 19 (or 19) provides a substantially linear relationship between spring force and deflection distance over the entire throw of the print wire 15.
- FIG. 4 shows an alternative arrangement for the spring of FIG. 3, for example, wherein cutout portions 19k and 19/ have been provided behind the end portions 19] and 1911 of the slots formed in the spring to relieve the torsional stresses which are developed at points 20a and 20b, respectively.
- slots 20c by radially aligned integral joining portions 200 and f which are transversely aligned to the spiral spring portions.
