Abstract

The model railway has an engine housing an electric motor towing a tender carrying the loud speaker and battery. The railway track is supplied with current from a transformer. This current drives the electric motor and also provides one source of current for the noise generating apparatus and its associated pre-amplifier and output amplifier and loudspeaker. The second source of current is derived from a battery carried on the engine tender and is also connected to the noise generating apparatus. This arrangement of a dual current supply requires less additional control gear than the use of either a battery or a transformer as the sole source of power.

Stromversorgung für Geräte, die der Nachahmung von Dampflokomo tivgeräuschen beim Betrieb von Modelleisenbahnen dienen, durch zwei verschiedenartige Stromquellen. Power supply for devices that imitate steam locomotive noises when operating model railways through two different types of power sources.

Beschreibungdescription

In elektrisch betriebenen ModelleisenbahndampfLokomotiven, in deren Schlepptendern und in angekuppelten Waggonmodellen lassen sich elektronisch-elektroakustische Geräte (nachfolgend kurz Geräte genannt) einbauen und betreiben, welche die Aufgabe haben, das rhythmische Auspuffgerausch von Dampflokomotiven nachzuahmen*In electrically operated model train steam locomotives, in Their tow tenders and in coupled wagon models can be equipped with electronic-electroacoustic devices (hereinafter referred to as Devices called) install and operate, which have the task of to imitate the rhythmic sound of exhausts from steam locomotives *

An die Stromversorgung der verschiedenen Teile dieser Geräte sind unterschiedliche Anforderungen zu richten. So darf sich beispielsweise die Versorgungsspannung jener Teile der Geräte, die Geräusche erzeugen und regeln, gewöhnlich nur in bestimmten Grenzen ändern. Die Versorgungsspannung der Vorverstärkerstüfen muß besonders gut geglättet sein, damit der Fremdstörspannungsabstand ausreichend groß wird. Wesentlich geringere Ansprüche sind an die Versorgungsspannungen der nachfolgenden Verstärkerstufen und der Endstufe zu richten. Hier ist weder besonders gute Glätte hoch Spannungskonstanz notwendig. Dafür besteht aber ein hoher Leistungsbedarf. " ""·.;.There are different requirements for the power supply to the various parts of these devices. For example, the supply voltage of those parts of the devices that generate and regulate noise are usually only allowed to change within certain limits. The supply voltage of the preamplifier sections must be smoothed particularly well so that the interference voltage distance is sufficiently large. Significantly lower demands are to be made on the supply voltages of the subsequent amplifier stages and the output stage. Neither particularly good smoothness, high tension constancy is necessary here. But there is a high power requirement for this. """·.;.

Es bieten sich zwei einfache Möglichkeiten der Stromversorgung an: Auf dieselbe Weise, wie die Motoren der Modellokomotive mit Strom versorgt werden: also über Fahrpult (bestehend aus . Transformator und Fahrregler), Schienenanschluß, Schienen und · Stromabnehmer des Fahrzeugmodells; oder über MiXiM in die Dampflokomotivmodelle, in deren Schlepptender oder in angekuppelten Waggonmodellen eingebaute Batterien. .There are two simple ways of supplying power on: In the same way as the engines of the model locomotive be supplied with electricity: i.e. via the remote (consisting of a transformer and speed controller), rail connection, rails and · Pantograph of the vehicle model; or via MiXiM in the steam locomotive models, Batteries built into their tender or in coupled wagon models. .

Wird als Versorgungsspannung die Fahrspannung verwendet, so sind aufwendige Einrichtungen zur Glättung und gegebenenfalls Konstanthaltung der Versorgungsspannung notwendig. Diese Einrichtungen sind so voluminös (große Elektrolytkondensatoren beispielsweise), daß ihre Unterbringung in den Modellen oft nicht möglich ist. Soll die Stromversorgung über Batterien erfolgen, so können wegen des beschränkten Raumes nur kleine Batterien eingebaut werden. Diese sind teuer und von kurzer Lebensdauer, so daß bei großem Ldistungsbedarf die Betriebskosten hoch. sind. Oft sind diese Batterien auch nicht in der Lage eine zufriedenstellende Leistung abzugeben.If the driving voltage is used as the supply voltage, then complex devices for smoothing and, if necessary, keeping the supply voltage constant are necessary. These bodies are so bulky (large electrolytic capacitors, for example) that it is often not possible to accommodate them in the models. Should the If the power is supplied by batteries, only small batteries can be installed because of the limited space. These are expensive and have a short lifespan, so that when there is a large demand for performance the operating costs are high. are. Often times these batteries are too unable to perform satisfactorily.

Am günstigsten ist eine Aufspaltung der' Stromversorgung. Die Ger;jfceteile, deren Versor gungs spannung eine hohe Güte aufweisen muß und einen geringen Leistungsbedarf haben, werden über Batterien versorgt. Jene Geräteteile, bei'denen eine Versorgungsspannung geringer Güte ausreicht, die aber einen hohen Leistungsbedarf haben, v/erden über das Fahrpult versorgt. Dabei wird die .vom Fahrpult gelieferte Versorgungsspannung gegebenenfalls geringfügig geglättet.The best thing to do is to split up the power supply. The Ger; jfceteile, whose supply voltage must be of high quality and have a low power requirement, are batteries provided. Those parts of the device that have a supply voltage low quality is sufficient, but which have a high power requirement, are supplied via the remote. The .vom The supply voltage supplied to the control panel may be slight smoothed.

Konkret kann die Aufspaltung beispielsweise folgendermaßen geschehen: Die Einrichtung zur Geräuscherzeugung, Regelung, und Vorverstärkung werden über die in die DampflokmodeHe und/oder deren Schlepptender und/oder in angekuppelt« Waggonmodellen eingebaute Batterien versorgt. Die nachfolgenden Verstärkerstufen und die Endstufe werden über ein räumlich außerhalb der Lokmodelle, angekuppelten Schlepptendern und angekuppelten Waggonmodellen stationär installierten Fahrpult versorgt -(vergl. Zeichnung im Anhang).Specifically, the split can take place, for example, as follows: the device for generating noise, regulation, and Preamplification is via the steam engine mode and / or their tender and / or batteries built into “coupled” wagon models. The following amplifier stages and the output stage are spatially outside of the locomotive models, Connected tender tenders and coupled wagon models are supplied to the stationary control panel - (cf. Drawing in the appendix).
