Description of drawings
Explain additional advantage of the present invention, feature and character now with reference to the schematic representations in incidental accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1 shows according to the first system for driving lighting device of the present invention, and
Fig. 2 shows another one exemplary embodiment, and wherein motion sensor is communicated by letter with the lighting device operating equipment via number bus.
Embodiment
Fig. 1 schematically shows the known motion sensor of its principle 1, electric ballast (EB) 2 and is connected to two lighting devices 4 at output 3 places of EB.Mention in background parts, EB2 only represents a kind of example of the operating equipment for lighting device, so the present invention can be used for other any needed lighting device without restriction, and is not limited to gaseous discharge lamp.
Shown in EB2 have three terminals P E, L, N, wherein terminals P E is connected to the earth connection of voltage source 5, terminal L is connected to the phase line of voltage source 5, and terminal N is connected to the neutral line of voltage source 5.
In addition, EB shown in also has the interface that is provided with two terminal D1, D2.Can find out from the abbreviation of described terminal, described interface D1, D2 can be designed to, for example present its digital signal according to the DALI standard, if in order to be provided with two-way communication, instruction is sent to EB2, perhaps the instruction with these terminals places is sent to the bus that connects, for example DALI bus from EB2.
Alternatively, terminal D1, D2 can also be designed to utilize sequential signal to process to receive digital command thus.No matter which kind of situation, terminal D1 mentioned in this article, D2 are designed to, and can be applied in the signal that stems from service voltage, for example stem from the signal of supply voltage.In the example shown, terminal D2 is connected to the neutral line N of voltage source 5.
In fact, control input end D1 can be applied in two different signals thus, and namely, a signal is used for the situation that motion sensor 1 detects motion, and different therewith, another signal is used for the unidentified situation to motion of motion sensor 1.
Particularly, two kinds of signal conditions of this corresponding with the output signal of motion sensor can be defined as foloows:
When motion sensor 1 detected motion, it was with regard to the connection between closure phase line L and control input end D1, and consequently, the signal level of phase line L is applied to control input end D1.In EB2, pre-stored have a predetermined dimming level, and if the testing result of reappearing 1 pair of motion of motion sensor by the phase line L that is connected to control input end D1, EB2 just arranges described predetermined dimming level.
On the other hand, if motion sensor 1 is unidentified to any motion in the scope that it is monitored, according to this one exemplary embodiment, disconnect between the phase line L of control input end D1 and voltage source 5, consequently, be applied to control input end D1 without any voltage.Therefore EB2 thinks unidentified and, can programme in advance to the second light modulation value in EB2 for this situation to any motion, and hereinafter this second light modulation value is called as quiescent value, and it is corresponding to unidentified situation to motion.Particularly, this quiescent value can be the lower dimming level of needed operating value in the situation that recognizes motion.
The typical applications of this system for driving lighting device is, for example staircase or corridor.Preferably, in this case, except lighting device operating equipment and motion sensor, without any need for other control unit.
If motion sensor 1 recognizes motion, and and then for example supply voltage be applied to the control input end D1 of EB2, described EB2 can be for example with the illumination efficiency of the lighting device Lookup protocol to 100% that connects.On the other hand, if unidentified to any motion, and therefore signal ' 0 ' is applied to control input end D1 (no-voltage), lighting device can be adjusted to less value, for example 5% illumination efficiency.
Therefore, find that at staircase the people is arranged if motion sensor for example recognizes, just automatically this staircase is thrown light on for example 100% illumination efficiency.
After the predetermined time section, motion sensor disconnects and being connected of control phase L again, wherein can be for example in EB2 to this predetermined time section programme or regulate, perhaps should predetermined time section recognize time of delay (also may be conditioned this time of delay) after motion corresponding to motion sensor 1.Like this, the lighting device that connects is set to quiescent value again, and this quiescent value is corresponding to level that obviously will be low than needed operating value.
As indicated above, can based drive testing result and utilize EB2 that quiescent value and needed operating value are regulated or programmed.
Except motion sensor, the timer 6 that is connected in series can also be set in addition, the time span that this timer presets use is (for example, morning, evening, at dusk, etc.), in this time span, the function of motion sensor can be switched to effective status.Therefore, timer only is connected to motion sensor with control phase L in span between in use, and consequently, motion sensor only connects between control input end D1 and control phase L during span between in use with that.
But, this class span service time can also for example be regulated in operating equipment or in motion sensor self.
Described two light modulation values (quiescent value, needed operating value) can for example be regulated by interface.Said process can be during operation, between installation period, production period etc. carries out.Described interface can also adopt wireless design.
EB can also be designed to automatically identify the connection of motion sensor.Preferably, for example, EB has for example from 1% to 100% continuous light tuning scope or subcontinuous dimming scope, and when recognizing motion sensor and be connected to terminal D1, D2, EB automatically switches to two dimming level operations.
Therefore, typical case of the present invention uses and is, the personnel that staircase etc. located at special time period (early, night) identify.
Fig. 2 shows motion sensor 7 can also be the parts of the number bus system number bus system of DALI standard (for example, according to).In this case, motion sensor 7 can be sent to the form of digital signal the operating equipment 2,2 ' that is connected with the information of sports testing result via bus 8.This information that for example provides with the DALI standard can be addressed, and in the operating equipment that connects one or one group and lighting device 4,4 ' are corresponding to corresponding address.
In addition, for example also can connect digitial controller (DALIGC, DALI SC), control element (DALI contact panel) and the interface (DALI SCI) that conventionally is arranged in the DALI system.For example, can programme to above-mentioned level and time period by these interfaces.
