ADAPTIVE POSITION IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROL TRANSDUCER FOR FOUR TYPES OF ARTICLES Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G01B21/00 G01N21/00 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: proposed transducer comprises sensitive surface, contactless sensor for identification of four types of articles (heated metal, heated non-metal, unheated metal, unheated non-metal), OR-NO logical element, eight AND logical elements, reset unit, electric pulse binary counter, 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd indication units and clock oscillator with appropriate electric connections. Point of connection of outputs of 7^th, 6^th, and 5^th logical elements AND and 2^nd input of OR-NO logical element makes the 1^st output of adaptive transducer. Outputs of 3^rd, 2^nd, 1^st AND logical element and 3^rd output ob binary pulse counter make 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th output of adaptive transducer, respectively. At displacement of whatever article along sensitive surface, 1^st output processes potential data signals of article position with the level of logical "1". Note here that 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th outputs generate four-digit binary digital code, its values 1000, 0100, 0010 and 0001 are identification codes of the article appropriate type. Article type identification data signals are picked up at appropriate indication units. Adaptive transducer allows the automatic control over article with no mechanical contact therewith and automatic adaptation to its particular type.

EFFECT: expanded operating performances.
