Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improvement to light-emitting diode illumination circuits, in particular for motor vehicles, as well as a device such as a signaling light or a control panel, incorporating it.
- Such circuits are known for example from EP-A-0 695 112.
- a light source in equipment for a motor vehicle a set of light emitting diodes to replace one or more filament lamps used conventionally. It may in particular be a complementary brake light, a side repeater or a signaling light, especially traditional rear.
- FIG. 1 there is shown an electrical diagram of an illumination circuit according to the prior art.
- the circuit illumination includes an array of LED light emitting diodes, which is powered by battery voltage through a supply circuit, via two connection terminals 28 and 29.
- the array of LED light-emitting diodes comprises in this case sixteen diodes connected in a circuit mixed parallel / series comprising, in series, four groups of four light-emitting diodes in parallel.
- Such an assembly makes it possible to reduce the overall consumption of the circuit compared to an assembly which would include the sixteen diodes in parallel, and allows the illumination circuit to continue to function correctly in the event of failure of one of the light-emitting diodes, which would not be the case in an assembly which would include the sixteen diodes in series.
- the supply circuit conventionally comprises a VDR varistor connected in parallel between the terminals of connection 28 and 29, a diode D and a resistor R in series, as well as a Zener diode DZ and a capacitor C in parallel.
- light emitting diodes are components that exhibit a large current excursion for low voltage excursions around a nominal conduction voltage.
- the voltage across the battery is likely to vary quite significantly in depending on its state of charge and the ambient temperature, conventionally between 11 and 16 volts.
- the nominal conduction voltage of commercially available light-emitting diodes is present, by construction, a dispersion which can be significant over a given set of components, since it is not for example guaranteed by the manufacturer that between 1.9 and 2.7 volts.
- the current in the light-emitting diodes can vary appreciably depending on the light emitting diodes used and the operating conditions, which causes variations light intensity up to a ratio of 1 to 3.
- the present invention aims to propose means for carrying out an assembly of light-emitting diodes of the type of a mixed parallel / series network with a slightly variable lighting characteristic as a function of the excursion of the voltage across the battery and of the dispersion over the nominal conduction voltage of the diodes electroluminescent used.
- the mixed parallel / series network 30 of FIG. 1 consists of "Rows” and “columns” of LED light emitting diodes, by analogy with the mathematical concept of matrix.
- N a determined number of light-emitting diodes in a mixed parallel / series arrangement.
- N twelve three-line light-emitting diodes and four columns
- the minimum number of light-emitting diodes to be used in the application is determined. envisaged as a function of the overall illumination required, and a number N of diodes is chosen which is just greater said minimum number and which is written as the product of two natural integers i and j.
- N the first number which is suitable for reasons of cost of the components, of space requirement in the equipment, and the power consumption of the lighting circuit.
- the invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the aforementioned state of the art by proposing means allowing to reconcile all of the building rules set out above.
- the invention relates to an illumination circuit with light-emitting diodes supplied by a voltage continues through a supply circuit, in particular for motor vehicles, which comprises a number N of light-emitting diodes arranged in a mixed parallel / series network comprising i rows and j columns, characterized in that the product i.j is equal to a number M which is greater than said number N, the M-N branches of said network which does not include a light-emitting diode comprising either an open circuit or a first dipole essentially resistive.
- the invention also relates to a signaling light for a motor vehicle, comprising an illumination circuit as described above.
- control panel in particular for heating, ventilation and / or air conditioning installation.
- a motor vehicle comprising an illumination circuit as above.
- the value of the resistance R is determined as j times the value of the nominal current In which must flow in the LED light emitting diodes. This resistance must be chosen so as to be able to dissipate by joule effect a relatively large power, of the order of 7 Watts (W).
- Such resistance is a relatively expensive and bulky component, and, for reasons of space in for example the case of a light bar such as a complementary brake light for a vehicle, must often be mounted by insertion on a separate circuit from that on which the LED light-emitting diodes are mounted.
- the resistors Ri are components to surface mount (CMS) which are very small and which exist at relatively low prices on the market.
- CMS surface mount
- This circuit is supplied via two terminals of connection 28 and 29. It includes a network 30 produced according to a mixed parallel / series mounting, some branches of which include a light emitting diode LED in series with a resistor Ri, and of which other branches essentially include a dipole resistive 22 or 23 whose exact nature will be explained later with particular reference to Figures 3a to 3d.
- the supply circuit includes a diode D mounted in series for protection against reverse polarity between connection terminals 28 and 29, as well as a mounted VDR varistor in parallel and to protect the illumination circuit against variations in the battery voltage applied between connection terminals 28 and 29.
- the supply circuit can also but not necessarily include a Zener DZ diode as well as a capacitor C connected in parallel with the diode network 30 LED light emitting lights.
- Components D, VDR, DZ, and C above, existing on the market as surface mount components (CMS) it is possible, according to an advantage of the present invention, to deposit using a programmable automatic machine, with the LED light-emitting diodes and the resistors Ri on the same printed circuit, and solder them in the wave or by reflow in one operation.
- CMS surface mount components
- the network therefore comprises N branches which include a light emitting diode LED optionally but not necessarily in series with a resistance Ri, and comprises M-N branches which include an essentially resistive dipole referenced 22 and 23 in Figure 2.
- the M-N branches of the network that does not include a LED light emitting diode include an open circuit instead of any dipole, that is, they understand nothing. This produces a network which can be described as irregular since, necessarily, each line i does not include the same number j i of diodes in parallel, with the consequence that the diodes of two lines different are not necessarily crossed by the same current and therefore do not produce the same illumination.
- FIGS. 3a to 3d different modes of possible, but not limiting, realization of dipole 22 or 23 which can be arranged in certain branches of network 30 to be substitute for the missing M-N light emitting diodes for complete this network with M branches.
- the dipole comprises a simple resistor 31.
- FIG. 3b it includes two resistors 32 and 33 in series, which, in a preferred embodiment, each have the same value as the resistors Ri connected in series with the N LED light-emitting diodes in the N other branches of the network.
- the programmable automatic machine store which places the components on the printed circuit during assembly in the factory advantageously only has a reference of resistances. This limits the multiplicity of references during supplies and allows to consume a larger quantity of the same components, therefore to obtain lower prices from suppliers.
- the dipole comprises a resistor 34 in series with a diode (a conventional junction diode).
- the dipole includes a resistor 36 similarly value as the N resistors Ri, in series with a Zener diode 37 whose conduction voltage will advantageously be chosen close the conduction voltage of LED light-emitting diodes used in the N other branches of the network.
- the first circuit consumes a current I1 equal to about 220mA and the second circuit consumes an I2 current worth about 330mA due to the fact that it has six columns of diodes at instead of four.
- the straight line 42 is liable to move parallel to itself depending on the dispersion of the conduction voltage Vd of light-emitting diodes with a excursion E2 lower than the corresponding excursion E1 of the right 41, which indicates the lower dependence of the current total Itot with respect to variations in said voltage Vd.
- the total current Itot of the first circuit can vary between a minimum value Imin1 and a maximum value Imax1, while the second circuit can vary between a minimum value Imin2 greater than said value Imin1 and a maximum value Imax2 lower than said value Imax1.
- the advantages of the invention can be summarized by saying that the Vbat / Itot operating point of the illumination circuit according to the invention can move depending on the voltage excursion across the battery and the voltage dispersion of conduction of light emitting diodes in a parallelogram 52 whose surface is much smaller than the surface corresponding to the parallelogram 51 of a circuit according to art prior.
