Moreover; Detecting unit 107 can be coupled to driver element 105, and in order to high-pressure side filament (high side filament) HV and low-pressure side filament (1ow side filament) LV that detecting is installed in the fluorescent tube FT1 on the lamp socket LH whether open circuit (broken).The high-pressure side filament HV of fluorescent tube FT1 on being installed in lamp socket LH and low-pressure side filament LV one of which opens circuit at least the time, detecting unit 107 can cause driver element 105 to stop to produce AC driving signal D ACIn addition, when the fluorescent tube FT1 of failed was replaced by good fluorescent tube FT2 on originally being installed in lamp socket LH, detecting unit 107 can cause driver element 105 to produce AC driving signal D again ACTo drive the fluorescent tube FT2 that newly changes, need not switch mains switch SW again.
Clearer, detecting unit 107 can include high voltage detecting circuit (high voltagedetection circuit) 107a and low pressure circuit for detecting (low voltage detection circuit) 107b.Wherein, High voltage detecting circuit 107a couples the high-pressure side filament HV of fluorescent tube FT1; Whether the high-pressure side filament HV in order to detecting fluorescent tube FT1 opens circuit, and in the high-pressure side of fluorescent tube FT1 when filament HV opens circuit, and sends and have first state (electronegative potential for example; First detection signal DH 0V) gives driver element 105, stops to produce AC driving signal D in order to cause driver element 105 AC, and when originally being installed in fluorescent tube FT1 that lamp socket LH goes up failed and being replaced by good fluorescent tube FT2, send and have second state (for example high potential probably is system voltage V CC) the first detection signal DH give driver element 105, produce AC driving signal D again in order to cause driver element 105 ACTo drive the fluorescent tube FT2 that newly changes.
In addition; Low pressure circuit for detecting 107b couples the low-pressure side filament LV of fluorescent tube FT1; Whether the low-pressure side filament LV in order to detecting fluorescent tube FT1 opens circuit, and when the low-pressure side filament LV of fluorescent tube FT1 opens circuit, and sends and have first state (electronegative potential for example; Second detection signal DL 0V) gives driver element 105, stops to produce AC driving signal D in order to cause driver element 105 AC, and when originally being installed in fluorescent tube FT1 that lamp socket LH goes up failed and being replaced by good fluorescent tube FT2, send and have second state (for example high potential probably is system voltage V CC) the second detection signal DL give driver element 105, produce AC driving signal D again in order to cause driver element 105 ACTo drive the fluorescent tube FT2 that newly changes.
In present embodiment, high voltage detecting circuit 107a includes switch element (switching unit) SWU, resistance (resistor) R1 and R2, and Zener diode (Zener diode) ZD.Wherein, first end of switch element SWU is coupled to system voltage (system voltage) V CC, second end of switch element SWU then couples first end of the high-pressure side filament HV of fluorescent tube FT1, and first end of the high-pressure side filament HV of fluorescent tube FT1 is more in order to receive the AC driving signal D that driver element 105 is produced AC
First end of resistance R 1 couples second end and first end of capacitor C p of the high-pressure side filament HV of fluorescent tube FT1.The negative electrode of Zener diode ZD (cathode) couples second end of resistance R 1, and the anode of Zener diode ZD (anode) then is coupled to earthing potential (ground).First end of resistance R 2 couples the negative electrode of Zener diode ZD and the control end of switch element SWU, and gives driver element 105 in order to produce the first detection signal DH, and second end of resistance R 2 then is coupled to earthing potential.
Clearer, as can illustrating like Fig. 2 A, switch element SWU comprises (P type) transistor Q1 (for example being PMOS transistor (transistor)) and resistance R 3.Wherein, first end of resistance R 3 as first end of switch element SWU to be coupled to system voltage V CCSource electrode (source) the coupling system voltage V of P transistor npn npn Q1 CCThe drain electrode (drain) of P transistor npn npn Q1 is as second end of switch element SWU first end with the high-pressure side filament HV that is coupled to fluorescent tube FT1, the grid (gate) of P transistor npn npn Q1 then as the control end of switch element SWU to be coupled to second end of resistance R 3.
Even Fig. 2 B provides the line map of the enforcement aspect of another kind of high voltage detecting circuit 107a.In Fig. 2 B, first end of resistance R 6 is coupled to system voltage V CC, the anode of diode D2 is coupled to second end of resistance R 6, and the negative electrode of diode D2 then is coupled to first end of the high-pressure side filament HV of fluorescent tube FT1.In addition, sign is all similar with Fig. 1 with the annexation of the element of the identical numbering of Fig. 1 among Fig. 2 B, so also no longer give unnecessary details at this.And what deserves to be mentioned is that at this benefit of diode D2 among Fig. 2 B is the power consumption of resistance R 6 to be reduced half and reduce operating temperature effectively, it is because of only remaining half work period of the circuit that includes diode D2 and resistance R 6.
In addition, low pressure circuit for detecting 107b includes resistance R 4 and R5, diode D1, capacitor C 1, and (N type) transistor Q2 (for example being nmos pass transistor).Wherein, first end of resistance R 4 is coupled to system voltage V CCThe negative electrode of diode D1 couples first end and second end of capacitor C p of the low-pressure side filament LV of fluorescent tube FT1, and the anode of diode D1 then couples second end of resistance R 4, and second end of the low-pressure side filament LV of fluorescent tube FT1 is coupled to earthing potential.First end of capacitor C 1 couples the anode of diode D1, and second end of capacitor C 1 then is coupled to earthing potential.First end of the grid coupling capacitance C1 of N transistor npn npn Q2, the source electrode of N transistor npn npn Q2 is coupled to earthing potential, and the drain electrode of N transistor npn npn Q2 is then given driver element 105 in order to produce the second detection signal DL.First end of resistance R 5 is coupled to system voltage V CC, second end of resistance R 5 then couples the drain electrode of N transistor npn npn Q2.
Based on above-mentioned, when the fluorescent tube FT1 that is installed on the lamp socket LH is a non-defective unit, and user's Switching power switch SW and desire be when opening fluorescent tube FT1, and driver element 105 can produce the AC driving signal D of relatively high pressures ACLuminous to drive fluorescent tube FT1.And capacitor C p can provide sufficiently high starting resistor, and when fluorescent tube FT1 steady operation, suitable heater current is provided in the instantaneous process that fluorescent tube FT1 starts.With this understanding, because high-pressure side filament HV and the low-pressure side filament LV of fluorescent tube FT1 do not open circuit, so P transistor npn npn Q1 and N transistor npn npn Q2 can close (turn-off).Thus, high voltage detecting circuit 107a and low pressure circuit for detecting 107b can distinctly send first detection signal DH of high potential and the second detection signal DL of high potential, continue to produce the AC driving signal D of relatively high pressure in order to cause driver element 105 ACLuminous to drive fluorescent tube FT1.
In this, suppose fluorescent tube FT1 in luminous process, its high-pressure side filament HV opens circuit, and its low-pressure side filament does not open circuit.With this understanding, react on the cause of resistance R 2 ground connection, the first detection signal DH that high voltage detecting circuit 107a can send electronegative potential gives driver element 105, thereby makes driver element 105 can stop to produce AC driving signal D ACMeanwhile, P transistor npn npn Q1 can react on the first detection signal DH and the conducting (turn-on) of electronegative potential, to such an extent as to system voltage V CCCan be conducted to first end of the high-pressure side filament HV of fluorescent tube FT1.
When the fluorescent tube FT1 of failed is replaced by good fluorescent tube FT2 by (user) on originally being installed in lamp socket LH; Because the high-pressure side filament HV of fluorescent tube FT2 does not open circuit; So high voltage detecting circuit 107a can send the first detection signal DH of high potential and give driver element 105, to such an extent as to driver element 105 can produce AC driving signal D again ACTo drive the fluorescent tube FT2 that newly changes, need not switch mains switch SW again.Meanwhile, P transistor npn npn Q1 also can react on the first detection signal DH of high potential and close (turn-off), thus the AC driving signal D that avoids driver element 105 to be produced ACSkew takes place and be damaged to the fluorescent tube FT2 that newly changes.
On the other hand, suppose fluorescent tube FT1 in luminous process, its high-pressure side filament HV does not open circuit, and is that its low-pressure side filament LV opens circuit on the contrary.With this understanding, react on resistance R 4 and be coupled to system voltage V CCCause, N transistor npn npn Q2 can conducting (turn-on), gives driver element 105 to such an extent as to low pressure circuit for detecting 107b can send the second detection signal DL of electronegative potential, thereby makes driver element 105 can stop to produce AC driving signal D ACWhen the fluorescent tube FT1 of failed is replaced by good fluorescent tube FT2 by (user) on originally being installed in lamp socket LH; Because the low-pressure side filament LV of fluorescent tube FT2 does not open circuit; So can transferring to, N transistor npn npn Q2 closes (turn-off); To such an extent as to low pressure circuit for detecting 107b can send the second detection signal DL of high potential and give driver element 105, thereby makes driver element 105 can produce AC driving signal D again ACTo drive the fluorescent tube FT2 that newly changes.
Hence one can see that; The drive unit of present embodiment can be when fluorescent tube breaks down; The mains switch that no matter is associated with fluorescent tube is in unlatching (ON) and still closes (OFF); The capital stops the two ends of the fluorescent tube of failed are supplied power, thereby guarantees that the replacing personnel are to carry out at following of the environment that safety does not have an electric shock in the process of changing; Simultaneously; After the fluorescent lamp pipe is changed completion; Need not switch the mains switch that is associated with fluorescent tube again; Can automatically detect the fluorescent tube of newly changing, and automatically light the fluorescent tube of newly changing, thereby exempt the potential collision hazard that the replacing personnel need repeatedly climb up and climb down on ladder.

The conversion AC power is DC power supply (step S301);
DC power supply is carried out power factor correcting (step S303);
React on and carry out the DC power supply of power factor correcting and produce AC driving signal (step S305), in order to the fluorescent light emitting tube of drive installation on lamp socket;
In the process of the fluorescent light emitting tube on being installed in lamp socket, high-pressure side filament and the low-pressure side filament that detecting is installed in the fluorescent tube on the lamp socket whether open circuit (step S307);
The high-pressure side filament of the fluorescent tube on being installed in lamp socket and low-pressure side filament one of which opens circuit at least the time; Then stop to produce AC driving signal (step S309); Otherwise, return step S305 and sustainable utilization AC driving signal with the fluorescent tube of drive installation on lamp socket;
After stopping to produce the AC driving signal, judge whether the fluorescent tube originally be installed in failed on the lamp socket has to be replaced by good fluorescent tube (step S311); And
When the fluorescent tube that originally is installed in failed on the lamp socket has been replaced by good fluorescent tube; Then produce AC driving signal (step S313) again to drive the fluorescent tube of newly changing; And return step S307; Otherwise (that is the fluorescent tube of failed still is installed on the lamp socket) continues to stop to produce the AC driving signal.
In sum; The drive unit of fluorescent tube provided by the present invention and method thereof can be when fluorescent tube break down; The mains switch that no matter is associated with fluorescent tube is in unlatching (ON) and still closes (OFF); The capital stops the two ends of the fluorescent tube of failed are supplied power, thereby guarantees that the replacing personnel are to carry out at following of the environment that safety does not have an electric shock in the process of changing; Simultaneously; After the fluorescent lamp pipe is changed completion; Need not switch the mains switch that is associated with fluorescent tube again; Can automatically detect the fluorescent tube of newly changing, and automatically light the fluorescent tube of newly changing, thereby exempt the potential collision hazard that the replacing personnel need repeatedly climb up and climb down on ladder.
