Control circuit 16 comprises controller 160, and controller 160 has Enable Pin 162, first output 164 and the second output 166.The anode electrical couplings of Enable Pin 162 and Zener diode D2.The control end electrical couplings of the first output 164 and the first electronic switch Q1, the control end electrical couplings of the second output 166 and the second electronic switch Q2.
The operation principle of following introduction ballast 200:
When lamp load 90 does not produce electric arc, the Enable Pin 162 of controller 160 can not receive triggering signal, therefore the Enable Pin 162 of controller 160 is in low level state, first output 164 of controller 160 exports the first driving voltage, and the second output 166 of controller 160 exports the second driving voltage; This first driving voltage is for controlling the first electronic switch Q1 periodically conducting or shutoff, and this second driving voltage is for controlling the second electronic switch Q2 periodically conducting or shutoff.In the present embodiment, when the first electronic switch Q1 conducting, the second electronic switch Q2 is off state.Therefore, this alternating voltage by converting direct-current voltage into alternating-current voltage, and is supplied to resonant circuit 12 by inverter 10.
Lamp load 90 startup stage, controller 160 is programmed to the natural resonance dot frequency f0 that the frequency of alternating voltage that control inverter 10 produces equals the series resonant circuit be made up of resonant inductance Lr and resonant capacitance Cr, wherein, (remarks: because the inductance value of the primary coil L1 of sensing transformer T1 is much smaller than the inductance value of resonant inductance Lr, therefore calculate the inductance value that natural resonance dot frequency f0 can not consider primary coil L1); During owing to being in natural resonance dot frequency f0, the impedance of the series resonant circuit be made up of resonant inductance Lr and resonant capacitance Cr is minimum, therefore resonant circuit 12 provide amplitude higher ignition voltage to light lamp load 90.In one embodiment, lamp load 90 startup stage be corresponding with instantaneous starting type rectifier startup stage, the ignition voltage that instantaneous starting type rectifier provides is generally 800 volts.In another embodiment, lamp load 90 startup stage be corresponding with preheating start-up type rectifier or other types rectifier startup stage, the ignition voltage that preheating start-up type rectifier provides is generally 500 volts.
Normal work stage after the start up period, controller 160 is programmed to the frequency of the alternating voltage that control inverter 10 produces lower than natural resonance dot frequency f0, therefore resonant circuit 12 provides normal working voltage to lamp load 90, and this normal working voltage is less than ignition voltage; Lamp load 90 is made to enter stabilized illumination state.
When lamp load 90 due to the defect of lamp socket or the defect of circuit or the reason such as installation causes loose contact and produces electric arc irrelevantly time, be desultory by the electric current of lamp load 90; The time rate of change of the electric current flowing through primary coil L1 can be caused to increase, and then cause the voltage at primary coil L1 two ends to increase.Accordingly, the voltage at secondary coil L2 two ends also can increase, the both end voltage of the secondary coil L2 of above-mentioned increase is after rectifier diode D1 rectification, punctured by Zener diode D2, therefore arc detection circuit 14 can produce triggering signal and this triggering signal is sent to the Enable Pin 162 of controller 160.In the present embodiment, the predetermined variation rate described in Fig. 1 refers to when the voltage at secondary coil L2 two ends reaches the puncture voltage of Zener diode D2, flows through the time rate of change of the electric current of primary coil L1.
Controller 160 respond this triggering signal control the first output 164 stop output first driving voltage and control the second output 166 stop output second driving voltage.Therefore inverter 10 stops output AC voltage to resonant circuit 12.Therefore the both end voltage of lamp load 90 is zero, efficiently avoid the generation of electric arc.
In operation, control circuit 16 the startup stage electric arc of lamp load 90 whether exist all enable inverter 10 and allow inverter 10 attempt start lamp load 90.Therefore, startup stage in arc protection be effectively inhibited, why wish startup stage forbid arc protection be because lamp load 90 startup stage be generally attended by the electrical interference cannot distinguished with real arcing condition.To achieve these goals, control circuit 16 also comprises filter capacitor C11 further.The first end of filter capacitor C11 and Enable Pin 162 electrical couplings of controller 160, the second end ground connection of filter capacitor C11; Because filter capacitor C11 can the electrical interference that cannot distinguish of above-mentioned with the real arcing condition of filtering, therefore startup stage in arc protection be effectively inhibited.In one embodiment, startup stage be selected as about 1 second, this usually provides and allows to light and the grace time of stable lamp, even if under the condition relating to aging lamp or low ambient temperature.
Refer to Fig. 3, it is the circuit diagram of the ballast 300 of another kind of execution mode.Ballast 300 shown in Fig. 3 is from the difference of ballast 200 shown in Fig. 2: shown in 14A and the Fig. 2 of arc detection circuit shown in Fig. 3, arc detection circuit 14 is different, and the 16A of control circuit shown in Fig. 3 does not comprise the filter capacitor C11 in control circuit 16 shown in Fig. 2.
Arc detection circuit 14A comprises linear optical coupling Q3, Zener diode D11, the first resistance R1, the second resistance R2 and filter capacitor C11.Linear optical coupling Q3 comprises the first light-emitting diode D1, the second light-emitting diode D2 and phototriode Q11.The anode of the first light-emitting diode D1 is by resonant capacitance Cr ground connection, and the negative electrode of the first light-emitting diode D1 is by resonant inductance Lr and inverter 10 electrical couplings.The negative electrode of the second light-emitting diode D2 and the anode electrical couplings of the first light-emitting diode D1, the anode of the second light-emitting diode D2 and the negative electrode electrical couplings of the first light-emitting diode D1.The collector electrode of phototriode Q11 and the negative electrode electrical couplings of Zener diode D11, the grounded emitter of phototriode Q11.The anode of Zener diode D11 is by the first resistance R1 ground connection, and the anode of Zener diode D11 is also by the second resistance R2 and control circuit 16A electrical couplings.The first end of filter capacitor C11 is electrically coupled between the second resistance R2 and control circuit 16A, the second end ground connection of filter capacitor C11.
The operation principle of following introduction arc detection circuit 14A.When lamp load 90 does not produce electric arc, there is following relational expression: I is total=I1+I2, wherein I is always for flowing through the electric current of resonant inductance Lr, and I1 is the electric current flowing through light-emitting diode D2, and I2 is the electric current flowing through lamp load 90.Now the collector voltage of phototriode Q11 is not enough to puncture Zener diode D11, and therefore arc detection circuit 14A does not produce the triggering signal of instruction conditions at the arc.In one embodiment, this triggering signal is voltage signal.
When lamp load 90 due to the defect of lamp socket or the defect of circuit or the reason such as installation causes loose contact and produces electric arc irrelevantly time, no matter be that momentary arc or sustained arc all can cause I2=0, therefore I1=I is total, also the electric current I 1 namely flowing through light-emitting diode D2 can increase, the collector voltage of phototriode Q11 is caused to increase, therefore Zener diode D11 is breakdown, and arc detection circuit 14A produces the triggering signal of instruction conditions at the arc.
The object why arranging the second resistance R2 and filter capacitor C11 is: (1) lamp load 90 startup stage can there is the above-mentioned ignition voltage cannot distinguished with conditions at the arc, therefore this ignition voltage can cause the collector voltage of phototriode Q11 to be enough to puncture Zener diode D11, and then causes arc detection circuit 14A to produce the triggering signal of instruction conditions at the arc mistakenly.But, this ignition voltage due to the duration shorter, and filtered electric capacity C11 has filtered away, and therefore efficiently avoid the possibility that arc detection circuit 14A produces the triggering signal of instruction conditions at the arc mistakenly.
(2) in operation, control circuit 16 the startup stage electric arc of lamp load 90 whether exist all enable inverter 10 and allow inverter 10 attempt start lamp load 90.Therefore, startup stage in arc protection be effectively inhibited, why wish startup stage forbid arc protection be because lamp load 90 startup stage be generally attended by the electrical interference cannot distinguished with real arcing condition.To achieve these goals, the filter capacitor C11 included by arc detection circuit 14A can the electrical interference that cannot distinguish of above-mentioned with the real arcing condition of filtering, therefore startup stage in arc protection be effectively inhibited.
(3) in one case, the harmfulness of the above-mentioned momentary arc that duration section is shorter is not very large, and the filter capacitor C11 therefore included by arc detection circuit 14A can produce the triggering signal indicating momentary arc state by filtering arc detection circuit 14A.
In one embodiment, mention in Fig. 1 " when the signal of telecommunication be in the first state and the first state continuance predetermined amount of time time; arc detection circuit 14 produces triggering signal and occurs electric arc to indicate in this signal of telecommunication; wherein; the first state refers to that the amplitude of the signal of telecommunication exceedes predetermined threshold " in predetermined amount of time be made up of the second resistance R2 and filter capacitor C11 delay circuit setting, predetermined threshold is corresponding with the collector voltage of phototriode Q11, wherein, the collector voltage of phototriode Q11 is enough to puncture Zener diode D11.

Because the first electronic switch Q1 turns off, the magnetic energy that resonant inductance Lr stores promptly is consumed by lamp load 90, first drives inductance L 11 and the second induced voltage driving inductance L 12 to produce promptly to decline, therefore the first electronic switch Q1 conducting, second electronic switch Q2 turns off simultaneously, enters the circulation of next cycle.
When the control end controlling electronic switch Q11 receives the triggering signal of the instruction conditions at the arc that arc detection circuit 14 produces, control electronic switch Q11 and respond this triggering signal conducting, due to the first secondary coil L22 and primary coil L21 magnetic couplings, mutual inductance between first secondary coil L22 and primary coil L21 is M1, and therefore the actual electrical sensibility reciprocal of the first secondary coil L22 is L22-M1.Due to second subprime coil L23 and primary coil L21 magnetic couplings, the mutual inductance between second subprime coil L23 and primary coil L21 is M2, and therefore the actual electrical sensibility reciprocal of second subprime coil L23 is L22-M2.Clearly, the inductance value of the first secondary coil L22 and second subprime coil L23 reduces, and therefore improves the switching frequency of the first electronic switch Q1 and the second electronic switch Q2.Also namely when arc detection circuit 14 produces the triggering signal of instruction conditions at the arc, the alternating current that inverter 10 generation time rate of change increases, the alternating current that this time rate of change increases flows through the resonant inductance Lr be connected in series with lamp load 90, cause the both end voltage of resonant inductance Lr to increase, therefore the both end voltage of lamp load 90 reduces accordingly.Because the both end voltage of lamp load 90 reduces, therefore also effectively eliminate the harm of electric arc.
