The time relay, offered to the attention of readers, is used in automation devices in production and at home. The device is simple in design, has small dimensions, is reliable in operation, but its main feature is a large exposure range.

Building an electronic time relay based on the principle of charge-discharge of a capacitor for exposures of more than 10 minutes is a difficult task. A high-resistance discharge circuit is subject to climatic factors (especially humidity), and if special measures are not taken, its stability is not high.

The time relay, which uses a reference oscillator with frequency dividers and a decoder, is less susceptible to external influences. Therefore, such devices, which have significantly higher stability, can be built for shutter speeds of tens and hundreds of hours. However, it is difficult to manufacture such devices ourselves.

The design, which is described in this article, combines the advantages of the mentioned devices and at the same time is available for repetition in amateur conditions. Schematic diagram of the time relay is shown in Figure 1. Transistors V1 and V2 with elements D1.1 and D1.2, capacitors C1 and C2, resistors R3, R4 and R5 form a generator; its frequency is set by a variable resistor R4. The generator output is connected to a frequency divider assembled on integrated circuits D2 - D6. From its output, the signals are sent to one of the inputs of the RS flip-flop assembled on elements D1.3 and D1.4. The other trigger input is connected to the trigger circuit.

One output of the RS flip-flop is connected through the transistor V6 to the indicator lamp H1, and the second through the transistors V7 and V8 to the relay K2.

A triggering alternating voltage of 220 V is supplied through quenching resistors R1 and R2, diodes V3 and V4 and capacitor C3 to relay K1. In the initial state, when there is no starting voltage, contact K1.1 closes the generator, and it does not work. The frequency divider triggers are also in their original position: signal lamp H1 is off. Relay K2 is de-energized, although a high voltage level is applied to the base of transistor V7 (the emitter of V8 is disconnected from the "common" wire).

When an input signal is received, relay K1 is activated and its contacts K1.1 are switched. At this moment, the RS-flip-flop changes its state to the opposite - at pin 11 of the D1.3 element, the voltage level becomes high, and at pin 8 D1.4 - low. The signal lamp H1 lights up, but the relay K2 remains de-energized, because the base of V7 has a low voltage level. The generator generates pulses that are fed to the frequency divider. With the advent of a low level at the output of the last element of the frequency divider, the RS flip-flop returns to its original state - at pin 11 of the D1.3 element it becomes low, and at pin 8 D1.4 it is high. The generator is braked, the lamp H1 goes out, and the relay K2 is activated (contacts K1.1 remain closed until the trigger voltage disappears).

The device delays the arrival of the actuating voltage relative to the trigger voltage for the time of the set delay. It is set by the generator frequency using the resistor R4, as well as the scale switch S1. It is clear that the higher it is, the shorter the exposure time, and the greater the division factor of the frequency divider, the longer it is. The oscillator frequency can be tuned smoothly over a wide range, and the division factor can be jumped 4 times. The relay scale corresponds to 6 minutes, and when S1 is closed, it becomes equal to 1,5 minutes.

To build a time relay with a delay of 24 minutes, it is enough to add one more K155TM2 microcircuit. Thus, the addition of one microcircuit increases the exposure time by 4 times. At the same time, the capacitance of the capacitors C1, C2 or the resistance of the resistor R4 should not be increased, since the stability of the first pulse of the generator worsens.

A properly assembled device starts working immediately. The adjustment is reduced to the graduation of the scale, which is almost uniform when using a linear resistor (R4). Graduation is easy to perform if, after the first element of the frequency divider, measure the pulse duration and multiply by the division factor of the remaining part of the divider.

During measurements, pin 9 of element D1.4 is turned off and the generator is started. This calibration method significantly reduces the time for this operation, since it is not necessary to wait until the maximum exposure period ends.

After graduating, the relay circuit is restored. An electronic stopwatch is connected to terminal 11 of element D1.3 and the correctness of the scale graduation is additionally checked.

The time relay, assembled on the K155 series microcircuits, is sensitive to interference penetrating the power circuits. Therefore, they must be blocked by capacitors.

The power supply, the diagram of which is shown in Figure 2, is designed for a set consisting of six relays.

T1 is made on the core from the television transformer TVK-110. The primary winding (pins 1-2) is wound with PEV-2 0,12 wire and contains 1760 turns, the secondary (pins 3-4) has 90 turns of PEV-2 0,71 wire, the third (pins 5-6) - 200 turns of wire PEV-2 0,21.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy.

Texas Instruments releases library for MSP430 and CC1100/CC2500 22.03.2007

One of the areas of application of the low-power MSP430 microcontroller is short-range wireless applications operating in the 433, 868, 2400 MHz ISM bands.

The radio part in such applications is often based on the well-known Chipcon CC1100 and CC2500 chips for frequencies up to 1 and 2,4 GHz, respectively. The combination of MSP430 and CC1100/CC2500 allows you to create high-performance wireless connections with speeds up to 500 kbps.

To facilitate interoperability between these products, Texas Instruments is releasing an open library of functions that avoids developing low-level interfaces when adding Chipcon wireless chips to a project. Interaction with Chipcon microcircuits is traditionally carried out through the SPI interface.

Texas Instruments provides this library for all SPI implementations on MSP430 peripherals: USART0; USART1; USCIA0; USCIA1; USCIB0; USCIB1; USI; Bit-banging (emulation) with GPIO. The library is provided with a demo application - LED remote control.
