- Circuit arrangement for controlling at least one electrically controllable magnet
- the invention relates to a circuit arrangement for controlling at least one electrically controllable magnet with a targeted control power, by means of which the magnet switches a switching element into a desired switching position in which the switching element is held.
- Circuit arrangements according to the preamble of claim 1 are known for the control of bistable solenoid valves used in multi-temperature refrigerators, which serve to control the inflow of refrigerant to the evaporators arranged in compartments of different temperatures.
- Such circuit arrangements used in cooling devices have a logic part on the input side for evaluating control parameters such as temperature controller signals, with the aid of which a triac or two thyristors arranged antiparallel to one another on the circuit output side to act on the bistable Solenoid valve with the speaking control power are driven.
- a so-called "overhead ignition” can occur in their supply voltage as a result of mains voltage peaks, by means of which an undesired actuation pulse is generated on the solenoid valve, which then results from a desired temperature controller -Signal-related valve position is converted into its opposite switching position.
- Such an occurrence can result in the temperature in a freezer compartment of a two-temperature refrigerator rising above the permitted value, so that the goods stored therein are at least significantly impaired in appearance and taste, while on the other hand a drop in temperature in the refrigerator compartment of the device can lead to the destruction of containers cooled with liquid chilled goods.
- the invention has for its object to improve a circuit arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that an unintentional change in position of a required switching position of the electrically controllable magnet is avoided.
- This object is achieved according to the invention in that after the switching element has been switched into the desired switching position, the magnet is repeatedly acted upon at least briefly with control power corresponding to this switching position at predetermined switching positions.
- the solution according to the invention ensures that the electrically controllable magnet is always kept securely in its required switching position without additional monitoring and associated evaluation measures, so that undesired misalignments of the electrically controllable magnet, possibly leading to damage, are reliably prevented .
- semiconductor components are provided for supplying the magnet with control power, which after switching the switching element into the desired switching position are repeated at predetermined time intervals with one that is used to provide the control power Control signal are applied.
- an electromagnet can be controlled in a particularly inexpensive and simple manner, the control elements being quickly replaceable in the event of damage.
- the time intervals between the control signals are of the same length.
- the drive power is formed by the half-waves of an alternating voltage, a plurality of which are each generated directly one after the other as a signal sequence, two successive signal sequences being represented by a cycle time of the half-waves are long distance from each other.
- a circuit arrangement is particularly precisely controlled as required by the corresponding influencing variables if, according to a last advantageous embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that the generation of the control signals are generated automatically by a control unit as a function of at least one control parameter.
- FIG. 2 shows a section of the electronic control device with an electronic circuit arrangement for generating control signals to secure the required switching position of a bistable solenoid valve which controls the flow of refrigerant to the cooling compartments,
- FIG. 3 shows the control signals corresponding to the two switching positions of the bistable solenoid valve, each schematically plotted on a time axis.

- the higher-lying storage compartment, which can be closed with the door 13 is designed as a cooling compartment 15, which is equipped with storeys 16 which are arranged one above the other in vertical intervals and serve to store refrigerated goods.
- the other storage compartment 13 arranged below the cooling compartment 15, separated from it by the heat-insulating intermediate wall 12 and lockable with the door 14, is designed as a freezer compartment 17, which is equipped for the storage of frozen goods with pull-out pull-out frozen food containers 18.
- Both the cooling compartment 15 and the freezer compartment 17 are equipped with evaporators (not shown), which are integrated in a refrigeration circuit (also not shown), within which one supplies the evaporators with liquid refrigerant, in order to maintain their intended storage room temperature Compressor is arranged, which is operated intermittently, the on and off phases of the compressor being dependent on the temperatures prevailing in the storage compartments.

- a refrigeration circuit also not shown
- Compressor is arranged, which is operated intermittently, the on and off phases of the compressor being dependent on the temperatures prevailing in the storage compartments.
- the digital signals "A” and “B” on the output side of the evaluation logic 19 represent input signals for the circuit arrangement 30, a positive output signal “A” being a cooling request for the cooling compartment 15 signals, while a positive output signal “B” means a cooling requirement for the freezer compartment 17.
- the output signal "A” present at the evaluation logic 19 is assigned to an input of a NAND gate 31 for its further processing via a current limiting resistor 30.1. leads, the second input of which is supplied with an input signal "C”. This can assume both the voltage level logic "1” and the voltage level logic "0", which are each generated by a NAND switch trigger 32 merged at its two inputs, the duration of the respective signal state is of different lengths.
- this period of time results from the charging time of a resistor 33 connected through an ohmic resistor 33 and a capacitor 34 connected to ground potential with its cathode, the RC element for determining the direction of the charging current having one with its Cathode connection to the ohmic resistor 33 coupled diode 35 is connected upstream.
- the duration of the logic level "0" for the input signal "C” is determined by an RC element which is formed from the capacitor 34 and an ohmic resistor 36, the resistance value of which for generating a longer period of time for the logic level 0 is clearly above that of Ohm's resistance 33.
- the evaluation logic 19 with its output providing the digital signal "A" is connected via a diode 37 coupled with its anode connection to this output to a circuit section belonging to the circuit arrangement 30, which section is required for evaluating the operation of household appliances ⁇ Chen AC voltage is used, which through a "L" line pole of the AC voltage network to a current limiting for the operation of logic stone serving resistor 38 is coupled.
