Background technology
The discharge lamp of the above-mentioned type is open by EP0903967A1 and EP0987928A1 respectively.When lighting discharge lamp, to the gas ionization in the lamp combustion chamber (Lampenbrennkammer) of discharge lamp.This gas for example is made up of mercuryvapour.Produce the plasma of conduction.These ions cause the first time of discharge lamp luminous.In order to keep the interior electrode of luminous and rapid heating lamp combustion chamber, for example use sine-shaped alternating current (being responsible for the some light current) to control discharge lamp.The frequency of this alternating current for example is 200kHz.Responsible some light current of discharge lamp at room temperature for example is 150V to 500V.Through being in be responsible for (being lower than one second to several seconds) after the time of lighting of second order of magnitude scope, can apply the running current of reality.This running current is sine-shaped, perhaps has the shape of similar rectangle.Needed for this reason working voltage for example is 15V to 225V.From this stage (at 1 minute after 4 minutes) discharge lamp enter expectation, the running status of heating highly, it has very high internal pressure in the lamp combustion chamber, have the highest luminous efficiency and the emission spectrum in broadband.
In order to light, with the interior electrode of the lamp combustion chamber of lighting potential pulse control discharge lamp.This has produced electric arcing, and this arcing causes ionisation of gas.Light the bag (potential pulse curve) that potential pulse is made up of a plurality of potential pulses.The pulse sequence frequency of the potential pulse in the potential pulse curve is 1MHz to 10MHz.In order to light discharge lamp, need have the potential pulse of lighting that is in the interior peak pressure of kV scope.Light potential pulse thus and be the high-voltage pulse curve string (high pressure RF pulse train) in high-frequency range.Utilize this high-voltage pulse curve string during lighting process, to superpose and be responsible for lighting voltage.Lighting circuit is constructed so that and produces stack and light discharge lamp thus when maximum is responsible for lighting voltage.
Known lighting circuit is made up of the inductance coupling high element of lighting loop (lighting oscillation circuit, secondary oscillation circuit) and lighting the transformer form of source circuit, oscillation circuit form basically.Discharge lamp is with to light oscillation circuit electricity in parallel.In source circuit, produce the primary voltage pulse.The primary voltage pulse is coupled to lights in the oscillation circuit by lighting transformer.In lighting oscillation circuit, form and light potential pulse.The guiding discharge lamp lights thus.The transformer of lighting of the parts of lighting circuit, especially inductance coupling high element designs like this, makes that the quality factor q of lighting resonant circuit is high as far as possible.The size of quality factor q surpasses 100.
The lighting circuit that is used to light discharge lamp for example is embodied as so-called electric ballast (EVG).EVG makes discharge lamp to move in its best voltage range, current range and frequency range from the available line voltage transfer electric energy that swaps out.Discharge lamp for example is high-voltage lamp or the uhp lamp as video and projection lamp (VIP lamp).
When light temperature is relatively lower (for example in room temperature, about 20 ℃), the crest voltage of lighting potential pulse just is enough to produce electric arcing from several hectovolts to several kilovolts the interior electrode of lamp.The temperature of lamp is high more, and it is just high more to light the needed crest voltage of high-voltage lamp or uhp lamp.For the VIP lamp, 950 ℃ to 1050 ℃ operating temperature appears usually.Very high when producing between the interior electrode that electric arcing is needed lights voltage in this temperature, because the gas in the lamp combustion chamber causes very strong ionization owing to occupying leading gas pressure.This causes the VIP lamp to cool off before lighting again.The temperature of combustion chamber must be reduced to about 500 ℃ in present ballast.The burner operating temperature of VIP lamp begins to cool down 500 ℃ from about 1000 ℃ approximately will continue 30 seconds.In 30 seconds cooling time, if there be not lighting (heat is lighted) again again and will failing of other measure VIP lamp.

The technical problem to be solved in the present invention provides a kind of lighting circuit, also can light discharge lamp even this lighting circuit was applicable in the cooling time of lamp.
In order to solve this technical problem, provide a kind of and light the lighting circuit that potential pulse is lighted at least one discharge lamp by apply electricity to discharge lamp, wherein this lighting circuit has following feature: at least one source circuit, be used to provide electric primary voltage pulse, at least one lights the loop, be used to provide and light potential pulse, and at least one inductance coupling high element, be used for the primary voltage pulse induction be coupled to and light the loop and light potential pulse with generation.This lighting circuit is characterised in that, the transformation ratio of the voltage transitions that the inductance coupling high element is had from smaller or equal to 1/25 more than or equal to selecting 1/400 the scope.Preferably, this transformation ratio from smaller or equal to 1/40 more than or equal to selecting 1/200 the scope, especially from smaller or equal to 1/40 more than or equal to selecting 1/70 the scope.
In order to solve this technical problem, providing a kind of is used to adopt according to above-mentioned lighting circuit by applying the method that potential pulse is lighted discharge lamp of lighting, has following method step: a) form the oscillation circuit of lighting, b) in lighting oscillation circuit, produce and light potential pulse with discharge lamp in parallel.
The interior electrode of discharge lamp or discharge lamp is connected to other parts and lights oscillation circuit.Light the loop and have the reaction part that all need.By the high transformation ratio and the voltage overshoot of resonance, this voltage overshoot is being lighted the loop or is being occurred in coupling element, produces to have very the high frequency of peak voltage and light pulse in lighting the loop.Preferably, produce crest voltage more than or equal to 10kV smaller or equal to the potential pulse of lighting, the especially crest voltage of 50kV more than or equal to 15kV smaller or equal to the potential pulse of lighting of 25kV.
Generation has the high frequency voltage pulse at the pulse sequence frequency of MHz scope.In preferred embodiment, produce pulse sequence frequency more than or equal to 0.5MHz smaller or equal to the potential pulse of lighting, the especially pulse sequence frequency of 30MHz more than or equal to 0.9MHz smaller or equal to the potential pulse of lighting of 10MHz.Pulse sequence frequency with 1.5MHz can reach good especially effect.
Utilize this pulse sequence frequency and high voltage to keep the pulse duration of lighting of lighting potential pulse shorter.Light the pulse duration less than 50 μ s.In special execution mode, produce have more than or equal to 5 μ s smaller or equal to the potential pulse of lighting of lighting the pulse duration in the scope of 30 μ s.Especially lighting the pulse duration can be less than 20 μ s.This relatively short potential pulse of lighting is enough to light discharge lamp based on high transformation ratio when the temperature of discharge lamp is higher.
Light to improve by frequent repeating and light probability.Therefore according to another execution mode, utilize to be in more than or equal to 50Hz smaller or equal to the repetition rate in the 10kHz scope (repetition rate), especially be in more than or equal to 100Hz to produce and light potential pulse smaller or equal to the repetition rate in the 1kHz scope.Utilizing this repetition rate will light potential pulse is coupled to and lights in the loop.Utilization is than higher repetition rate, and for example 1kHz improves the probability of successfully lighting in certain period of time.
The inductance coupling high element has at least one and lights transformer.Light transformer and comprise primary inductance with at least one elementary winding and secondary inductance with at least one secondary winding.The secondary inductance of lighting transformer is to light the building block in loop.Lighting the loop may be embodied as and light oscillation circuit.The primary voltage pulse that forms in the source circuit is coupled to lights in the oscillation circuit by lighting transformer.Preferably, light transformer is the HF-HV transformer with ferromagnetic core (for example ferromagnetic or ferrocart core) for this reason.This HF-HV transformer designs like this, makes the voltage transitions that this transformer individual responsibility is high.Thereby the HF-HV transformer for example is the transformer with 25kV output voltage.Utilize the transformer of lighting of constructing like this, can accept to light the quality factor that oscillation circuit obviously worsens.Lighting oscillation circuit has and is lower than 100 quality factor Q.
The inductance coupling high element can have the transformer of lighting of respective design separately.In special execution mode, the inductance coupling high element has at least one coupling transformer.Light transformer and coupling transformer is electrically connected to each other, make them form the inductance coupling high element together.For this reason, according to special execution mode, light transformer and coupling transformer is connected in series.The primary inductance of coupling transformer can be the building block of source circuit.The secondary inductance of coupling capacitor and the primary inductance electrical connection of lighting transformer.The secondary inductance of lighting transformer is again to light the building block of resonant tank.
Coupling transformer is used for matching voltage.This high transformation ratio that causes the inductance coupling high element is by lighting transformer and coupling transformer provides together.This transformation ratio is not only from lighting transformer.This makes the contribution of lighting transformer reduce.This secondary inductance and secondary winding that causes lighting transformer can keep lessly.Bring following special benefits thus: the Ohmic resistance of secondary winding owing to winding quantity seldom and the conductor length that shortens thus reduce.This Ohmic resistance is also flow through by the running current of discharge lamp, and has therefore avoided lasting loss power.Coupling transformer causes lighting the further decoupling of oscillation circuit and source circuit in addition.Make thus to light to form in the oscillation circuit and light the needed resonance potential overshoot of potential pulse and become and be easy to generate.
In the favourable design of other parts of lighting circuit, utilize the combination of being showed of lighting transformer and coupling transformer, can reach the potential pulse of lighting that has above the crest voltage of 30kV.In other words, this is the voltage (supposing that voltage roughly becomes sinusoid in this case) that has 60kVss (being 60kVpp) to negative maximum from positive maximum.

In special execution mode, source circuit have for the primary voltage pulse is provided can switch the HF switch element of unloading.This often means that the instantaneous voltage of connecting at switch element that applies and the electric current of conduction equal or approach 0.The loss power spike that can avoid meeting usually in switching process, occur in this way.This makes source circuit have extra high efficient.Another significant advantage of switch unloading is, avoids near switching frequency and far surpass occurring strong electromagnetic interference component (problem) in the frequency spectrum of switching frequency.
Preferably, source circuit has a kind of topological structure of selecting from E class, D class or DE class.E class and DE class are characterised in that good especially switch unloading.Because the unloading of big switch, the electrolytic capacitor that need be used for source circuit usually as the power supply buffer can keep very for a short time.In addition, only need a high frequency switching transistor for this switching stage, this high frequency switching transistor is because the efficient that increases only need have limited current capacity.Make that thus the price of lighting circuit is lower.Another advantage is that the output voltage of this switching stage need not other tuning just energy approximately linear ground to be changed along with the direct voltage of powering to this switching stage.This makes can regulate high frequency voltage by the preposition electric supply installation of source circuit.
There is two types E class: can connect a parallel circuits or a series circuit at transistor drain end or collector terminal.Second kind of solution is characterised in that, can drive with very little supply power voltage.Can adopt thus and have smaller high current transistor by ability.
Extraordinary switch unloading also can reach by the HF switch level of DE class.The half-bridge that such basis is made up of two switching transistors.The switching transistor that is adopted need be starkly lower than the compressive resistance of the switching transistor that adopts in the E class.
This lighting circuit especially is applied among the EVG of high-pressure discharge lamp and ultra-high pressure discharge lamp, and this high-pressure discharge lamp and ultra-high pressure discharge lamp are used in video and the shadow casting technique.For high-pressure discharge lamp, the pressure of 2 crust to 20 crust appears in the lamp combustion chamber.Pressure clings in 200 scopes of clinging to 100 and changes in ultra-high pressure discharge lamp.Target at this is the emission spectrum that reaches wide as far as possible.The power of VIP lamp between 100W to 300W, 120W for example.It is also conceivable that higher and lower power.Utilize this lighting circuit to surpass 500 ℃ and in reaching 1000 ℃ hot running status, light this discharge lamp in temperature.
The present invention has provided following major advantage in a word:
-utilize lighting circuit, even when the high temperature that surpasses 500 ℃, also can light discharge lamp again.After interrupting discharge lamp luminous, need not cool off for new lighting.Can not occur lighting intermittently.
-utilizing the present invention to abandon to light auxiliary electrode, this is lighted auxiliary electrode and is generally used for keeping at present common lighting intermittently.
