Definitions

  • the invention relates to an ignition device for a low-pressure discharge lamp, in which a triac is connected in parallel with the low-pressure discharge lamp and in series with the heating electrodes contains a fixed resistor and at least one variable resistor and the other branch is formed by a capacitor.
  • FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 All have a voltage divider parallel to the connections A 'and B' of the triac 10.
  • the second connection of the diac 11 arranged in the control circuit of the triac taps off the voltage drop across the capacitor 12, which forms the second branch of the voltage divider.
  • the variants are in the first branch of the voltage divider, with certain properties of the ignition device being intended to be achieved by connecting different functional groups in series.
  • the capacitor 14 in particular, has a special meaning, as is explained in detail in the above-mentioned document: To prevent the ignition process of the already ignited low-pressure discharge lamp from being repeated, the capacitor 14 must be of very narrow dimensions so that the Ignition voltage of the diacs 11 is not reached when the low-pressure discharge lamp has an operating voltage.
  • the capacitor 14 responsible for switching off the ignition pulses is bridged by a resistor 18, as a result of which the switch-off effect of the capacitor is further critically influenced.
  • a resistor 17 is connected in parallel in FIG. 4, which results in an asymmetrical one when using an inductive ballast. Load on the inductor 4 ( Figure 6) and thus an increased preheating current of the electrode coils 2 and 3 results. In the blocking direction of the diode 17, however, a certain countercurrent flows through the resistor 13, which in turn causes a certain re-magnetization of the inductor 4 and reduces the preheating current.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an ignition device with the aid of which a low-pressure discharge lamp is gently ignited with good and rapid preheating of the electrode filaments, in that at a high preheating current to avoid cold ignitions first low and with each period higher peak values of the voltage to the lamp be placed. After the lamp has been ignited, further attempts to ignite the ignition device are to be prevented with certainty. If the lamps are deactivated, the ignition device should continue to switch off after a series of unsuccessful ignition attempts.
  • the ignition device should also be used under different operating conditions, e.g. with different outside temperatures or different ballasts of the low-pressure discharge lamp. Furthermore, the number of electrical components used should be small in order to be able to accommodate the ignition device in a conventional starter housing for fluorescent lamps.
  • the ignition device with the features mentioned in the preamble of the main claim is characterized according to the invention in that some of the components in the first branch of the voltage divider and the capacitor in the second branch are bridged by a temperature-dependent resistor with a negative temperature coefficient, which changes the switching time of the triac due to its change in resistance and switches off the preheating current when the lamp is not igniting, the variable resistance in the first branch of the voltage divider having a low resistance compared to the fixed resistor.
  • the first variable resistor contained in the first branch of the voltage divider forms a series connection with the fixed resistor, the second connection of the fixed resistor being connected to the triac.
  • the temperature-dependent resistor with a negative temperature coefficient also bridges the fixed resistor from the first branch of the voltage divider.
  • the ballast preferably consisting of a series connection of an ohmic resistor and a capacitor.
  • a parallel connection of a second variable resistor and a diode is connected in series with the first branch of the voltage divider, one connection of which is connected to the connection point.
  • This circuit arrangement is designed to ignite conventional low-pressure discharge lamps, the ballast consisting of a choke or a choke with a series capacitor.
  • the diode causes a greatly increased preheating current and the hot conductor connected in parallel leads the preheating current back to normal values after the lamp has been ignited.
  • the first variable resistor in the first branch of the voltage divider is a frequency-dependent resistor which has a low resistance during the preheating of the electrode filaments and a high resistance after the low-pressure discharge lamp has been ignited.
  • the frequency-dependent resistor can be replaced by a voltage-dependent resistor in a further circuit configuration.
  • the condenser of the second branch and part of the first branch bridging temperature-dependent resistor with a negative temperature coefficient is advantageously connected in this case between the parallel circuit consisting of diode and second variable resistor and the fixed resistor.
  • the second variable resistor in the first branch of the voltage divider is a temperature-dependent resistor with a negative temperature coefficient.
  • the functions of the temperature-dependent resistors will be explained in more detail later.
  • An interference suppression capacitor is connected in parallel with the triac.
  • the interference suppression capacitor is designed as a capacitive voltage divider, a self-switching four-layer diode being connected to the center of the same, the other connection of which is led to one of the end points of the voltage divider.
  • the electrode filaments are well preheated by first applying low peak values, which increase with each period, to avoid cold ignitions, until the ignition takes place reliably, which is decisive for the lamp life. If the lamp is non-igniting, the preheating current is switched off within approx. One second and further ignition attempts are prevented, which protects the ballast and the lamp.
  • the ignition device can be adapted to a variety of ballasts and low-pressure discharge lamps with different ignition voltages with only a few minor extensions or modifications.
  • the few electronic components can easily be installed in a conventional housing for starters or can be arranged within the lamp itself with or without a ballast, making the ignition device also suitable for compact low-pressure discharge lamps.
  • a triac 2 is connected in parallel to a fluorescent lamp 1, the control connection of which is connected via a diac 3 to a connection point 4 of a voltage divider which is also connected in parallel to the fluorescent lamp 1.
  • the voltage divider has two branches, the first branch of which has a series connection of a charging resistor 5 and a frequency-dependent resistor in the form of a control capacitor 6, and the other branch of which is formed by a trigger capacitor 7.
  • the trigger capacitor 7 and the charging resistor 5 are bridged by a cut-off thermistor 8.
  • An interference suppression capacitor 9 is also connected in parallel with the triac 2.
  • a fuse resistor 10 is arranged in one of the leads of the ignition device.
  • the ballast for limiting the current of the fluorescent lamp 1 is formed by the series connection of an operating capacitor 11 and a damping resistor 12.
  • a discharge resistor 13 is connected in parallel with the operating capacitor 11.
  • the function of the ignition device can be described in the following way.
  • the trigger capacitor 7 is charged via the charging resistor 5 and additionally via the control capacitor 6.
  • the triac 2 is controlled via the diac 3 by partially discharging the trigger capacitor 7, the size of the charging resistor 5 determining the charging time of the trigger capacitor 7 and thus the moment when the triac 2 is switched through.
  • the charging time of the trigger capacitor 7 is also influenced by the shutdown thermistor 8.
  • the shutdown thermistor 8 has two tasks: firstly, its resistance change changes the switching instant of the Triac 2. This results in the possibility of providing a small peak value when the mains voltage is applied in order to avoid cold ignition of the fluorescent lamp 1 and then increasing it after the lamp electrodes have already been heated so that the ignition takes place safely.
  • the shutdown thermistor 8 is designed such that if the fluorescent lamp 1 is not ignited, it shuts down the preheating current within one second due to its reduction in resistance.
  • the cut-off thermistor 8 is heated with the aid of the control capacitor 6.
  • the frequency-dependent resistance of capacitors is used. As long as the preheating current flows through the electrode filaments of the fluorescent lamp 1, narrow voltage pulses of higher frequency result. The low resistance of the control capacitor 6 at a higher frequency results in a rapid heating of the cut-off thermistor 8.
  • a further advantage of this ignition device is that the half-wave operation of fluorescent lamps on the cut-off hot conductor 8 1 by preventing the circuit from heating up in such a way that the triac 2 is blocked.
  • the same ignition device can be used.
  • the ignition device can also be expanded to a quick start ignition device with a slight extension.
  • the parallel connection of a bridging hot conductor 15 and a diode 16 is additionally connected in series between the connection point 4 and the charging resistor 5, the polarity of the diode 16 being arbitrary.
  • the diode causes the triac 2 to be actuated on one side and thus a greatly increased preheating current of the electrode filaments.
  • the bridging hot conductor 15 returns the excessive preheating current to normal values within half a second. It also enables normal preheating of the electrode coils in capacitive ballasts.
  • control capacitor can also be replaced by a voltage-dependent resistor 17. Its size is selected so that on the one hand a reliable response of the ignition device before the lamp ignition is guaranteed and on the other hand the ignition device remains switched off after the lamp ignition.
  • connection of the cut-off hot conductor 8 is arranged between the charging resistor 5 and the parallel circuit consisting of bridging hot conductor 15 and diode 16, as a result of which overloading of the bridging hot conductor 15 after a change to low resistance values is avoided in a simple manner.
  • the level of the voltage available for the lamp ignition in inductive and capacitive ballasts depends only on the capacitance of the interference suppression capacitor 9. With a capacity of e.g. _ ⁇ 10 nF the peak value of the mains voltage is reached. If the capacitance of the interference suppression capacitor is increased to e.g. 47 nF, the peak value of the open circuit voltage is approx. 400 V, which is sufficient for the ignition of lamps that ignite normally.
  • the interference suppression capacitor is embodied therein as a capacitive voltage divider and consists of the partial capacitors 18 and 19. At the center of this voltage divider, a self-switching four-layer diode 20 is connected, the other connection of which is connected to any end point of the voltage divider. With such a circuit arrangement according to FIG. 4, peak values of around 600 V can be achieved.
  • Voltages with peak values around 800 V are e.g. achievable with a circuit according to FIG. 5.
  • a small inductance 21 is connected in series with the self-switching four-layer diode 20, which enables the partial capacitor 19 assigned to it to be recharged.
