Definitions
- the invention relates to a ballast for at least one gas discharge lamp according to the preamble of claim 1, and a method for operating a Gas discharge lamp with such a ballast.
- ballasts are usually used for Gas discharge lamps preheated the lamp electrodes before the ignition voltage between them. It has been shown that the measure Lamp life is significantly extended.
- the gas discharge lamp in the Usually operated on a series resonant circuit the resonant circuit capacitor in generally lies parallel to the discharge path of the gas discharge lamp.
- the electrodes the lamp are designed as heating coils through which the current of the resonant circuit flows when the lamp is not lit.
- the frequency is compared to Resonance frequency of the resonance circuit changed so that the above Resonance capacitor and thus no voltage above the gas discharge lamp Ignition of the gas discharge lamp causes. In this way an im flows substantially more constant current through the helixes Lamp electrodes so that they are preheated.
- the frequency is set close to the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit, whereby the voltage across the resonance capacitor increases so that the Gas discharge lamp ignites.
- EP 0 589 081 A1 a suitable circuit arrangement described.
- This points in Resonance circuit on the primary winding of a heating transformer the Secondary windings are connected in parallel to the connections of the heating coils. In this way it is possible to use the heating coils even in ignited mode To supply energy.
- is parallel to the primary winding Heating transformer provided a controllable switch, which, if necessary, the Bridges the primary winding and thus simultaneously heats the heating coils prevents.
- a further circuit arrangement is known from WO 93 12631 A, which a Describes electronic ballast according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a lamp is connected to a coil and a series resonant circuit Capacitor ignited.
- the series resonance circuit is between a center tap two alternating switches of an inverter are connected. With a The lamp filament is coupled to a switch which can be controlled via a relay and which is in closed condition shorts the lamp electrodes.
- the lamp contact is closed the relay contact, so that over the coil of the Series resonance circuit as well as the electrode coils and the switch high-frequency heating current flows, which heats the electrodes of the lamp.
- the electrode coils heat up, it grows their ohmic resistance, so that accordingly the voltage drop to the Electrodes and at the switch rises.
- Threshold the switch is opened using the relay, causing the heating circuit interrupted and a current flow through the electrode coils is prevented. Since the Capacity of the resonant circuit is no longer bridged by the heating circuit damping the series resonant circuit, and the lamp can be ignited. There even with this arrangement, the series resonance circuit is temporarily dampened also the problems described above.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a ballast for at least one gas discharge lamp and a method for operating a To create gas discharge lamp with such a ballast, so that always a reliable, the lamp-sparing operation is guaranteed.
- the further switch is switched so that the lamp only with Heating current is supplied if these are heated due to their operating state got to. This means that only as much energy as is absolutely necessary for heating the Lamp consumed.
- the claims 24 relate advantageously to embodiments of the invention Ballast.
- the gas discharge lamp is operated within the permissible operating range for the heating output guaranteed.
- FIG. 1 the essential parts of an embodiment are Ballast shown for a gas discharge lamp.
- This first has one Inverter consisting of the controllable switches S1 and S2, which by means of an inverter control circuit 1 can be driven in push-pull. Thus in Switch one switch on and the other off.
- the two Inverter switches S1 and S2 are connected in series between a positive one Supply voltage and ground switched.
- the load circuit is connected.
- This consists of one Series resonance circuit, which consists of a resonance circuit coil L1 and a Resonant circuit capacitor C3 is composed.
- the resonant circuit capacitor is C3 with its one terminal connected to ground.
- connection node between the resonance circuit capacitor C3 and the resonance circuit coil L1 is one Connection of a coupling capacitor C2 connected.
- the other connection of the Coupling capacitor C2 is with one of two cathodes, a gas discharge lamp LA connected.
- the two cathodes of the gas discharge lamp LA each have two Connections, between each of which a heating coil for heating the respective cathode is provided.
- the not connected to the coupling capacitor C2 Electrode of the gas discharge lamp LA has a connection K3 to ground connected.
- a heating transformer T is also provided, which has two windings on the primary side T1 and T3 and two secondary windings T2 and T4.
- the one primary winding T1 is with its one connection to the connection node of the two inverter switches S1 and S2 connected and with their second Connection connected to the second primary winding T3.
- This is again connected to a connection of a further controllable switch S3.
- the second Connection of the further controllable switch S3 is in turn with a resistor R1 connected, which on the other hand is connected to ground. This results in a Series connection from the two primary-side windings of the heating transformer, the further controllable switch S3 and resistor R1, which are parallel to Inverter switch S2 are switched.
- the further controllable switch S3 is in turn assigned to it by one Switching control 2 operated.
- the two secondary windings T2 and T4 of the heating transformer T are over Series connections with respective diodes D3 and D4 each with one of the two Electrodes of the gas discharge lamp LA connected.
- the winding T2 is over the Diode D3 with the heating coil connections K3 and K4 of one electrode and Winding T4 via the diode D4 with the heating coil connections K1 and K2 second electrode connected.
- the cathode is connected to the positive supply voltage.
- a diode D2 switched, the anode connection to ground connected is. This diode can be omitted when using FET transistors, if the transistors used have already integrated a diode circuit.
- control signals for the inverter switch S1 are shown in curve I, which periodically switch between levels L and H.
- the period length is PO, the signal being at level H for the duration tO.
- the inverter switch S1 is closed as long as it is at level H is controlled.
- the second inverter switch S2 switches, as before already explained, alternating with switch S1.
- the resonance circuit is dimmed, i.e. the stronger the period PO deviates from the resonance frequency of the series resonance circuit, the stronger the Lamp dimmed, i.e. the darker it is.
- Such an operation alone would have, like previously mentioned, with the result that the lamp would age to an increased extent.
- control circuit 2 of the further controlled switch S3 to couple a coupling 3 to the inverter control circuit 1.
- Curves I and II are identical, so that switches S1 and S3 are in common mode switch and are switched on or off at the same time. It follows that then when the switch S1 is turned on, a primary-side current at the same time through the windings T1 and T3 of the heating transformer T over the closed further controllable switch S3 and the resistor R1 from the positive Supply voltage connection flows to ground. Since it is according to curve II in FIG. 3 an interrupted current, i.e. no direct current, is acting according to the Laws of magnetic induction on the secondary side of the Heating transformer, i.e.
- the inverter can be dimmed the gas discharge lamp LA.
- the heating power of the Adapt electrode heating can be done according to curves II to VII in FIG. 2 in that not every time the inverter switch S1 is switched on further controlled switch S3 is also turned on. Rather, longer ones Clock periods P1 to P5 can be provided, for example, the period lengths P1 to P5 are an integer multiple of the cycle period of the inverter switch S1.
- heating output to set is to switch the switching time in which the switch S3 is turned on change. While in curves II to VII the switch S3 is just as long is switched on like switch S1, and only the time during which switch S3 is switched off, is varied, switch S3 is significantly shorter according to curve VIII switched on. At the same time, this reduces the achievable heating current through the Heating coil.
- curves 1 and 3 are the maximum and Minimum heating current in recommended by the manufacturer of a gas discharge lamp Dependence on the degree of dimming is shown. With curve 2 is the one with the previous one circuit and control method achievable heating current shown. From figure 4 it is thus clear that a heating current for the gas discharge lamp is easily adjustable, which is just above the minimum required heating current.
- FIG. 5 shows a representation which shows the adjustable heating current as a function on the number of switch-on pulses omitted with respect to switch S1, i.e. which represents a correspondingly extended period. If the number of omitted switch-on pulses is 0 - as in II of Figure 2 - is a maximum Heating current achievable. This value can be reduced almost continuously.
- FIG. 3 a circuit variant of the heating transformer T is shown. Here are not two windings connected in series on the primary side but one over a core wound winding T1 'is provided which is the secondary windings Operate T2 and T4.
- the circuit arrangements described above are initially one pure control, in which the dependency between the switching frequency PO of the Inverter and the switching frequency of the further controllable switch S3 is specified. Nevertheless, regulation is of course also conceivable.
- the lamp current is measured in a manner known per se and the Control circuits 1 and 2 supplied (not shown).
- Heating current proportional voltage across resistor R1 can be measured and the value of the heating current via a heating current detector 4 as the signal Inverter control circuits are supplied. In this way the heating current directly adjustable depending on the lamp current by means of control.
- This arrangement also has the advantage that it can also be detected when a There is a broken coil, i.e. the lamp is defective and if the lamp is out of Arrangement was removed.
- a reinstallation of the lamp LA is detected, so that the Inverter can be operated so that the lamp LA automatically after insertion ignites.
