Definitions
- the invention relates to an inverter according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the inverter is adapted to a certain lamp power, the operating frequency of the inverter and the inductance of the inductor of the series resonant circuit being dimensioned at this operating frequency so that the discharge lamp receives the current required for its nominal power ; ' a very specific operating voltage is assumed.
- Discharge lamps with the same nominal power have been on the market for some time now, which differ in their gas filling (previously only krypton, now also argon) and thus also in their burning voltage: Discharge lamps with argon filling have a significantly higher burning voltage. You would therefore consume an impermissibly high power with an inverter designed for a Krypton lamp.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of designing the inverter in such a way that it can be used for supplying lamps of the same rated power regardless of their gas filling and thus of their operating voltage.
- the inventive solution to this problem is characterized in claim 1.
- the headset can have a pulse generator, the frequency of which increases with an input variable derived from the arc voltage of the discharge lamp: If this characteristic curve is designed accordingly, the frequency suitable for the particular lamp voltage and thus the lamp current required are automatically set. Deviating from this, however, the frequency of the pulse generator can also be switchable, depending on whether certain threshold values of the operating voltage have been reached or fallen below.
- Sufficient preheating of its electrodes is usually desirable before the discharge lamp is ignited.
- an evaluator is provided between the headset and the combustion voltage sensor, to which the voltage of a timing element located at the input of the inverter is also fed and which during a preheating time beginning when the inverter is switched on and a subsequent ignition time determines the frequency of the control voltages and which then allows the output signal of the internal voltage sensor for the headset to take effect.
- the operating frequency of the inverter is therefore not due to the operating voltage but due to the
- Timing element which in the simplest case is an RC element or a monostable multivibrator.
- the switches of the inverter are field effect power transistors T1, T2, which are connected in series to the DC voltage source Q.
- the load circuit with a swing capacitor C10, the discharge lamp LP and the series resonance circuit with the capacitor C9 and the choke L1 is parallel to T1, the capacitor C9 of the series resonance circuit being located between the heatable electrodes of the lamp.
- T2 When T2 is activated, the load circuit is located at source Q and reloads in the following half-wave via activated T1.
- a control set S with a pulse generator g, which generates control pulses with an adjustable frequency, is used to alternately control the transistors T1 and T2; these are alternately applied to the two transistors via a pulse distributor i.
- the frequency of the pulses of the generator g is dependent on the output signal of the evaluator A, which is connected on the input side to a combustion voltage sensor B and to a timing element Z with two outputs z1, z2, and which essentially has the function of one of these inputs, depending on the operating phase to connect to the pulse generator g.
- the evaluator A After switching on the DC voltage source Q, the evaluator A activates the first output z1 of the timing element Z, the voltage of which ensures the maximum operating frequency fy between the times t and t1 (preheating time): see FIG. 2. The lamp cannot ignite at this frequency.
- the evaluator A - controlled by Z - then switches to the second output z2 of the timing element, which supplies a smaller or a continuously decreasing voltage up to time t 2 : the associated reduction in the operating frequency leads to the vicinity of the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit and thus to ignite the lamp.
- the evaluator After the time t 2 , the evaluator finally switches over to the operating voltage sensor B, so that an output signal, which is dependent on the operating voltage of the lamp, is then present at the pulse generator, which has a higher operating frequency f BA for an argon lamp and a lower operating frequency for a krypton lamp F BK (dotted line in FIG 2) results.
- a saturation transformer L2 essentially serves as the control set, the primary winding L21 of which is arranged in the load circuit and the secondary windings L22, L23 of which are connected to the control paths of the transistors T1, T2.
- the load circuit and the saturation transformer are dimensioned such that the lowest is considered without the interventions according to the invention described below coming operating frequency. That is, that for feeding a krypton lamp.
- the turn-through time of T2 is shortened with the aid of blocking transistors T3, T4, by which the control path of T2 is short-circuited.
- the emitter of T4 is connected to a synchronizing capacitor C3, which is connected via a series resistor R2 to the DC voltage source Q and via a series capacitor C2 to the switching path of the transistor T2 to be blocked prematurely.
- the course of the sawtooth voltage U C3 at the emitter of the blocking transistor T4 is shown in FIG. 4.
- T4 lies on a voltage divider with the resistors R3, R4 and a comparison capacitor C4, on which a reference voltage which can be controlled in size occurs.
- C4 is connected in parallel to a control transistor T5 and is also connected via R5 to an auxiliary voltage source which is formed by a capacitor C5 which is connected in parallel with the synchronization capacitor C3 via a charging diode D4.
- the current of the load circuit continues to flow in the same direction, namely via the reverse current diode of transistor T1 (integrated in HOS-FET transistors).
- the saturation transformer at L22 generates a control voltage for T1, via which the discharge current of the reversing capacitor C10 can flow through the load circuit in the opposite direction.
- the duration of this half wave is dependent on the saturation transformer and essentially
- the size of the reference voltage U C4 at the comparison capacitor C4 can be set differently by the control transistor T5 connected in parallel.
- the control path of this transistor is connected on the one hand to a voltage divider with resistors R6 and R7 and via a zener diode D8 and a voltage divider R8, R9 to a capacitor C8, which charges via D9 or D10, C7 and R12 to a value dependent on the lamp voltage .
- R6 and R7 are connected in parallel to a capacitor C6, which is connected to an RC element R1, C1 via a decoupling diode D6
- the voltage at C1 controls the transistor T2 via the switching diode D2 when the inverter is switched on, but then disappears because C1 is discharged via D1 and T2. Therefore, the decoupling diode D6 is blocked after the inverter starts to oscillate:
- the control transistor T5 is therefore only activated after the inverter has started to oscillate during a short discharge time of the capacitor C6, which determines the preheating time with the resistors R6 and R7.
- the blocking transistor T4 becomes conductive in each period as a result of the low reference voltage U C4V in time t 51 (FIG. 4) and thus the half-wave flowing via T2 is shortened.
- the resulting increase in the operating frequency results in a correspondingly low voltage across the capacitor C4 in parallel with the discharge lamp LP, so that it cannot ignite.
- T5 is increasingly activated and thus the reference voltage at C4 rises, so that the half-waves flowing over T2 become longer and longer until the resulting operating frequency has approached the resonance frequency of the load circuit to such an extent that the lamp ignites.
- T3, T4 and T5 are then blocked and there is an operating frequency with half-waves of the same length, which is determined exclusively by the saturation transformer and is dimensioned for the operation of a Krypton lamp.
- the voltage occurring at the capacitor C8 is too low to be able to again control the control transistor T5 via the zener diode D8.
- the voltage at the capacitor C8 is also used to switch off the inverter when the lamp is permanently unable to ignite: If this voltage reaches a limit value specified by the monitoring device Ü, then this responds and short-circuits the starting capacitor C1 and the control electrode from T1 to D5.
- the response threshold of this monitoring device is above the voltage that is established at C8 when the inverter is operated with an argon lamp.
- the charging time constant of C8 is so great that the monitoring device cannot respond during the preheating and the ignition phase, unless the lamp would not ignite in the specified time (t1 / t2).
