Utilize Fig. 1, Fig. 3, Fig. 4 to introduce the action of the discharge lamp starting device of embodiments of the present invention 1 below.
The voltage waveform of coupling capacitor C8 when Fig. 3 (a) is discharge lamp 6 regular pictures, the voltage waveform of the coupling capacitor C12 when Fig. 3 (b) is discharge lamp 10 regular pictures.Situation when Fig. 4 represents discharge lamp 10 regular pictures, discharge lamp 6 paradoxical discharges, Fig. 4 (a) is link to each other with choke 5 voltage waveform of the discharging substance of filament of the end coupling capacitor C8 when consuming of discharge lamp 6, Fig. 4 (c) is link to each other with the coupling capacitor C8 voltage waveform of the discharging substance of filament of the end coupling capacitor C8 when consuming of discharge lamp 6, the voltage waveform of the coupling capacitor C12 when Fig. 4 (b) is discharge lamp 10 regular pictures.
Among Fig. 1, one drops into DC power supply,, starts until discharge lamp 6,10 with high frequency driven MOSFET2,3 by abridged drive circuit among the figure.At this moment, can set the voltage of coupling capacitor 8,12,, form the waveform shown in Fig. 3 (a) and (b) so that when discharge lamp 6,10 normal startings by the constant of suitably selected discharge lamp load circuits L100, L110.That is to say, be set among coupling capacitor 8,12, stream has the electric current of discharge lamp 6,10 and flows through the difference resultant current of the electric current of capacitor 7,11 in parallel with it, formation is the balancing waveform at center with 1/2 of the voltage V1 of the positive pole of DC power supply 1, but just because of this resultant current, in the half period of discharge, result from the positive pole of the voltage ratio DC power supply 1 in the coupling capacitor 8,12 voltage V1 height, turn back among the DC power supply 1 by each diode 21,22,23,24 than the low part of the voltage V0 of negative pole.
In addition, shown in following formula (1), (2), (3), the voltage of reverse input end of the comparator 55 that will obtain with the dividing potential drop of the resistance 53,54 of decision circuit C100 is chosen to be the voltage of non-inverting input of obtaining greater than the dividing potential drop with resistance 51,52.
V55 (non-return)=V1 * R52/ (R52+R51) (1)
V55 (oppositely)=V1 * R54/ (R53+R54) (2)
V55 (non-return)<V55 (oppositely) (3)
Wherein, V1: the voltage of the positive pole of DC power supply 1,
V55 (non-return): the sub-voltage of the non-inverting input of comparator 55
V55 (oppositely): the sub-voltage of the reverse input end of comparator 55
But, when only limiting to diode 37,47 for reverse bias,
R51, R52: the resistance value of resistance 51,52,
R53, R54: the resistance value of resistance 53,54,
If by above-mentioned setting, the magnitude relationship of reverse input end of the comparator 55 of decision circuit C100 and the voltage of non-inverting input is: even the voltage V1 of direct voltage 1 changes, also can be with usual the same, comparator is output as low level, and the thyratron 61 of holding circuit H100 becomes OFF.
In addition, during with regular picture, the voltage of obtaining in the capacitor 35,45 of testing circuit P100, P110 is set at formula (4) (5), (6) and the formula (7) below satisfying.And in following formula, the forward drop-out voltage of diode 33,34,37,43,44,47 can be regarded as zero, not with consideration.
V35=V1×C31/(C31+C32) (4)
V45=V1×C41/(C41+C42) (5)
V55 (oppositely)<V35 (6)
V55 (oppositely)<V45 (7)
Wherein, V35: the voltage of the capacitor 35 during for discharge lamp 6 regular pictures, promptly as shown in Fig. 3 (a), with voltage V1 capacitor 31,32 voltage after partial of DC power supply 1.
V45: the voltage of the capacitor 45 during for discharge lamp 10 regular pictures, promptly as shown in Fig. 3 (b), with voltage V1 capacitor 41,42 voltage after partial of DC power supply 1.
Under the state that satisfies above-mentioned formula (1)~(7), because it is irrelevant with the variation of DC power supply 1, diode 37 and 47 its cathode voltages are in the reverse bias state that is higher than anode voltage for a long time, so the output voltage of PP testing circuit P100, P110 does not constitute influence to the voltage of reverse input end of the comparator 55 of decision circuit C100.
At this, if because of the reasons such as consumption of discharging substance of the filament of the end that links to each other with the choke 5 of discharge lamp 6 reach phase not in life-span, the discharging current of the half period of the THE FILAMENT DISCHARGE AND of phase is not littler than the half period of normal THE FILAMENT DISCHARGE AND owing to arrive the life-span, thereby the voltage of coupling capacitor 8 becomes the voltage waveform shown in Fig. 4 (a).The voltage of obtaining when becoming than normal starting with the voltage of being obtained by capacitor 35 behind the peak-to-peak voltage of the coupling capacitor 8 shown in PP testing circuit P100 detection Fig. 4 (a) is low, because diode 37 becomes forward bias voltage drop, the voltage of reverse input end of the comparator 55 of decision circuit C100 is descended, the voltage of non-inverting input one side uprises, thereby the output of comparator 55 becomes high level, and the thyratron 61 of holding circuit H100 becomes connection.
Because thyratron 61 1 is connected, flow into the electric current of the grid of switch element 3 through resistance 13,15 separately by secondary coil 5b, the 9b of choke 5,9, promptly through diode 62, thyratron 61 bypass, thereby switch element 3 becomes and closes, and the vibration of inverter circuit stops.
Because vibration one stops, holding current continues to flow into thyratron 61 through resistance 63, keeps this state before dropping into again always after cutting off DC power supply 1, thereby can prevent discharge lamp 6 continuous running under the paradoxical discharge state.
And, though above only introduced with discharge lamp 6 link to each other with choke 5 end the improper situation of filament, yet shown in Fig. 4 (c), when the filament of the end that links to each other with coupling capacitor is undesired, also can with above-mentioned identical effect, stop the action of inverter circuit when keeping discharge lamp 6 paradoxical discharges.
In addition, when discharge lamp 10 improper discharges, and discharge lamp 6,10 obviously can prevent continuous running under the paradoxical discharge state when all discharging very much equally.
In addition, as above-mentioned formula (1), (2), (3), and formula (7) shown in, discharge lamp 6,10 all just often, because the input voltage of the comparator 55 of decision circuit C100 and the voltage V1 of DC power supply 1 are proportional, even voltage V1 changes, the input voltage of comparator 55 also can change with same variation ratio, thereby is not subjected to the influence of the change in voltage of DC power supply 1.In addition; the detection voltage of PP testing circuit P100, P110 when a certain side in the discharge lamp 6,10 is unusual is as shown in Fig. 4 (a), (c) and above-mentioned formula (4), the formula (5); irrelevant with the variation of the voltage V1 of DC power supply 1; owing to be lower than all just often detection voltage of discharge lamp 6,10 certainly; and because the sub-voltage of non-inverting input of the comparator 55 of decision circuit C100 is higher than the sub-voltage of reverse input end; thereby can make output voltage become high level; inverter circuit keeps the failure of oscillations, can play a protective role.
In addition; irrelevant with the kind of discharge lamp; discharging current during the THE FILAMENT DISCHARGE AND material consumption of discharge lamp is than filament discharging current just often hour; because the detection voltage when comparing paradoxical discharge during with regular picture is low certainly; the circuit of PP testing circuit P100, P110, decision circuit C100, holding circuit H100 constitutes and adopts same circuit to constitute, thereby applicable to life-span of multiple discharge lamp protective circuit of the paradoxical discharge the during phase not.
In addition, because switch element 2,3 needs with the choke 5,9 that constitutes each discharge lamp load circuits L100, L110 secondary coil 5a, 5b separately, the in parallel driving of output voltage of 9a, 9b, and discharge lamp load circuits L100, L110 that PP testing circuit P100, P110 are independent of separately be provided with, thereby take out certain discharge lamp and also can identical condition detect abnormal conditions with whole installation the time.
As mentioned above,, the influence of the change in voltage of DC power supply be can not be subjected to, the regular picture of carrying out discharge lamp and the identification of paradoxical discharge stablized to no misoperation according to embodiments of the present invention 1.
In addition, no matter the kind of discharge lamp how, all available same circuit constitutes, and constitutes protective circuit at the paradoxical discharge of discharge lamp with a kind of part.
In addition, can be set in a plurality of discharge lamps, even take out certain fluorescent tube, detect the detection voltage of difference when whole discharge lamp is installed poor consistent of output voltage of the peak-to-peak voltage testing circuit of the normal starting of all the other discharge lamps and unusual starting state, even thereby take out certain discharge lamp, also can identical condition detect the unusual of discharge lamp so that whole fluorescent tube to be installed.
Though and only introduced situation when discharge lamp load circuits is two-way in the present embodiment, also can be more than 1 the road or 3 the tunnel.
(execution mode 2)
Fig. 5 is the circuit diagram that the discharge lamp starting device of expression embodiments of the present invention 2 constitutes.Adopt identical label and omit its explanation with the circuit of Fig. 1 of execution mode 1 and the element that plays same function among the figure.Among PP testing circuit P100, the resistance 71,72 of series connection is in parallel with coupling capacitor 8.Be connected the capacitor 31 of the contact of coupling capacitor 8 and discharge lamp 6 in the execution mode 1, in present embodiment 2, be connected on the contact of resistance 71,72.
Among PP testing circuit P110, the resistance 73,74 of series connection is in parallel with coupling capacitor 12.The capacitor 41 that links to each other with the contact of coupling capacitor 12 and discharge lamp 10 in execution mode 1, the contact with resistance 73,74 in present embodiment 2 is connected.Formation outside above-mentioned is identical with Fig. 1.
Introduce the action of the discharge lamp starting device of embodiments of the present invention 2 below according to Fig. 5.
The action of decision circuit C100, holding circuit H100 is identical with execution mode 1, among decision circuit C100, be set at and satisfy (1) shown in the execution mode 1, (2), (3) formula, the height relation of the voltage of the reverse input end of the comparator 55 of decision circuit C100 and non-inverting input during normal starting, even changing, the voltage V1 of DC power supply 1 also remains unchanged, the output of comparator still is low level, and the thyratron 61 of holding circuit H100 still is a closed condition.
One drops into DC power supply 1 among the figure, and the abridged drive circuit is with high frequency driven MOSFET2,3, until discharge lamp 6,10 startings in promptly passing through to illustrate.If discharge lamp 6,10 regular pictures this moment, then the detection voltage of PP testing circuit P100, P110 is shown in following formula (8), (9).
V35=V1×(C31/(C31+C32))×(R72×/(R71+R72))
(8)
V45=V1×(C41/(C41+C42))×(R74×/(R73+R74))
(9)
Wherein, V35: the voltage of the capacitor 35 during discharge lamp 6 regular pictures.
V45: the voltage of the capacitor 45 during discharge lamp 10 regular pictures.
R71, R72, R73, R74: the resistance value of resistance 71,72,73,74.
In addition, can preestablish the relation of the sub-voltage of reverse input end of V35, V45 and decision circuit C100 so that satisfy formula (6), (7) of execution mode 1.
If more once formula (4), (5) of above-mentioned formula (8), (9) and execution mode 1, the detection voltage that just can find out PP testing circuit P100, the P110 shown in formula (8), (9) immediately is to multiply by on the detection voltage shown in formula (4), (5) than 1 little coefficient, certainly do not mentionlet alone during discharge lamp 6,10 normal startings, even a certain side in the discharge lamp 6,10 occurs unusual, also can play the effect identical with execution mode 1.
Furthermore, though among execution mode 1, the series circuit of the capacitor 31,32 of PP testing circuit P100 is in parallel with coupling capacitor 8, if the capability value that changes capacitor 31,32 promptly influences the action of discharge lamp load circuits L100, and among present embodiment 2, because capacitor 31,32 is connected with coupling capacitor 8 through resistance 71, thereby thereby can reduce the capacitance change of capacitor 31,32 time influence of coupling capacitor 8 can enlarge the range of choice of capacitor 31,32.
In addition, among the operating frequency of inverter circuit,, can ignore influence in actual the use to the coupling capacitor 8 of capacitor 31,32 if select the resistance 71 enough bigger than resistance with the impedance phase of capacitor 8.
In addition, the effect of the resistance among the PP testing circuit P110 73,74 is identical with resistance 71,72 among the PP testing circuit P100.
And among above-mentioned formula (8), wanting not the voltage of divider resistance 72 carries out PP and detects, and can realize as long as remove capacitor 32.Identical therewith, among above-mentioned formula (9), want not the voltage of divider resistance 74 and carry out PP and detect, can realize as long as remove capacitor 42.
According to the detection voltage of above-mentioned PP testing circuit P100, P110, when discharge lamp 6,10 normal startings and a certain side in the discharge lamp 6,10 have the effect identical when starting unusually with execution mode 1.
That is to say, when discharge lamp 6,10 normal startings, if satisfy above-mentioned formula (1)~formula (3), formula (6)~formula (9), then the height of the voltage of the reverse input end of the comparator 55 of decision circuit C100 and non-inverting input closes and is: even the voltage V1 of DC power supply 1 changes, also can remain unchanged always, the output of comparator still is low level, and the thyratron 61 of holding circuit H100 becomes closes (OFF), and inverter circuit continues vibration.
In addition, when a certain side's appearance in the discharge lamp 6,10 is unusual, the detection voltage of PP testing circuit P100 or P110 becomes the voltage when being lower than normal starting, the voltage of reverse input end of the comparator 55 of decision circuit C100 is descended, the output of comparator 55 becomes high level, the thyratron 61 of holding circuit H100 becomes connection (ON), and switch element 3 becomes closes, and the vibration of inverter circuit promptly stops.
As above-mentioned, present embodiment also can be ignored the influence for the action of the discharge lamp load circuits of PP testing circuit P100, P110 in actual use except that having the effect shown in the execution mode 1.
