Title:
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OPERATING ELECTROMAGNETIC CLUTCH DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS60222624
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The method and apparatus are used for operating a magnetic clutch system (10) of the type which includes a magnetic clutch (16) having a clutch magnetizing coil (28) which can be actuated to couple a first rotatable element (14) to a second rotatable element (RAM) when voltage is applied across the clutch magnetizing coil (28) and which disengages the second rotatable member when voltage is disconnected from, or connected in reverse polarity across, the clutch magnetizing coil (28).The method includes the steps of and the apparatus includes means for: applying a voltage from a high voltage DC voltage source (EB) across an inductor coil (24) for a first time period, applying a voltage from the voltage source across the clutch magnetizing coil (28) for the first time period with both of the coils being connected in parallel across the voltage source (EB), providing a unidirectional current path across the coils (24, 28), simultaneously and momentarily disconnecting the voltage across both coils (24,28) causing the coils (24, 28) to reverse polarity with the current generated in each coil flowing through the unidirectional current path, reconnecting the clutch magnetizing coil (28) in series with the inductor coil (24) across the voltage source but with the clutch magnetizing coil (28) connected in reverse polarity to the first connection thereof across the voltage source (EB) for a second period of time thereby to accelerate a rapid change of magnetic polarity of the clutch magnetizing coil (28) to repel a flywheel coupling disc (18) of the magnetic clutch (16), and after the second time period, again disconnecting the coils (24, 28) from the voltage source (EB).
