Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for igniting a high-pressure gas discharge lamp according to the preamble of claim 1 and one operated according to the method Circuit arrangement for igniting a high-pressure gas discharge lamp.
- Fig. 4 shows one of these known ignition circuits, such as those in the DE 31 08 547 C2 or DE 31 08 548 C2 is described.
- a high pressure gas discharge lamp 4 (hereinafter also referred to as "lamp") is to the Output terminals 2 and 2 'of the ignition circuit connected.
- the ignition circuit points a pulse transformer 5, the secondary winding 6 in the live Supply line between the lamp 4 and a conventional magnetic Ballast 3, e.g. a choke is switched.
- the series connection from the Secondary winding 6 of the pulse transformer 5 and the lamp 4 is a series connection connected in parallel from a surge capacitor 7 and an auxiliary ignition capacitor 11, the surge capacitor 7 in turn being connected in series from the primary winding 8 of the pulse transformer 5 and a switching element 9, which is preferably is symmetrically switching, is connected in parallel.
- the symmetrically switching Switching element 9 can be, for example, a four-layer diode, a triac or a Sidac. Likewise, the use of a gas spark gap or one through a rectifier bridge controlled transistor conceivable. 4 is an example of the symmetrical switching Switching element 9 shown as Sidac.
- the auxiliary ignition capacitor 11 is a charging resistor 13 connected in parallel.
- timer circuit 10 known per se is shown in FIG the aforementioned publications is not described. The function of this timer circuit will be explained in detail later.
- the surge capacitor 7 is connected via the parallel connection of the auxiliary ignition capacitor 11 the charging resistor 13 charged until a voltage the switching voltage of the Sidac 9th exceeds, causing the Sidac to break through and become low-resistance.
- the voltage drop in the Primary winding 8 is in the ratio of the number of turns of the pulse transformer 5 stepped up so that due to the contact at terminals 1 and 1 ' Supply voltage (mains voltage) an ignition pulse of approx. 4kV at lamp 4 is caused.
- the ignition circuit must be designed in accordance with the regulations of the lamp manufacturer be that at least three ignition pulses per network half-wave with a maximum Pulse interval of 0.3 ms can be generated. Furthermore, the circuit is too dimension that the phase angle of the ignition pulse for a safe lamp ignition between 60 ° el and 90 ° el of the increasing positive or negative amount Mains half-wave is guaranteed.
- the first timer circuit corresponds to the timer circuit 10 shown in FIG. 4 With the help of this timer circuit, for a certain time, for example 11 minutes, Ignition pulses switched to the high pressure gas discharge lamp 4, the ignitor is switched off if the lamp 4 is not in by the end of this total ignition time Operation, i.e. could not be ignited successfully. If the lamp 4 before expiration of the total ignition time (for example 11 minutes) ignites, the time used up to that point Ignition time saved. Should the lamp go out again, for example off For reasons of aging or by so-called network wipers, the remaining time until the predetermined total ignition time spent again to start again Apply ignition pulses to the high pressure gas discharge lamp 4.
- the total ignition time 11 minutes is started when lamp 4 is switched on. An interim The lamp can also go out, for example, due to a voltage drop in the Mains voltage are caused. In this case the lamp should be re-ignited desired within the total ignition time.
- the aging of a lamp manifests itself for example in that the operating voltage rises above the mains voltage with which Consequence that the lamp 4 can no longer be operated and switches itself off. Kick this case after the total ignition time, the lamp 4 remains switched off permanently.
- timer circuit with a total ignition time of 11 Minutes are currently 4 more timer circuits with different ones Total ignition times available on the market. When the ignitor is switched off reset the timer circuit.
- the Control unit 15 closes by counting the number applied to lamp 4 Ignition pulses on the elapsed ignition time.
- the second known variant of a timer circuit is shown in FIG. 5.
- the real one Ignition circuit corresponds to the ignition circuit shown in Fig. 4, so that a repeated explanation of the individual circuit elements can be omitted.
- the timer circuit 10 between the actual Ignition circuit and those connected to connections 1 and 1 ' AC power supply switched.
- the control unit 15 of the timer circuit 10 counts again those applied to the lamp and superimposed by ignition pulses Network half-waves and deduces the past ignition time. After the expiry of the set total ignition time, the control unit 15 activates the controllable switch 12, so that the ignition circuit is separated from the AC power supply and thereby is switched off. This is done regardless of the lamp type and the condition of the lamp 4.
- With the variant of a timer circuit shown in Fig. 5 is a new ignition of the Lamp 4 only possible after a short switch-off phase.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of a method and a Specify circuit arrangement for igniting high-pressure gas discharge lamps, with which the disadvantages described above can be avoided.
- the inventive method for igniting a high pressure gas discharge lamp Firing pulses applied to the lamp at intervals, whereby alternately, ignition pulses are applied to the lamp during a first time interval be and during a second time interval the ignition operation to cool the Lamp is temporarily interrupted. After igniting the lamp, the Ignition circuit switched off.
- the ignitor has one Ignition circuit on, which is essentially a pulse transformer, a surge capacitor, comprises a switching element and a timer circuit.
- the secondary winding of the pulse transformer is between an AC voltage source and the lamp switched.
- the surge capacitor is connected to the primary winding of the pulse transformer connected in series, this series connection on the one hand parallel to the series connection from the secondary winding and the lamp and on the other hand parallel to that Switching element is switched.
- the timer circuit controls the ignition operation of the ignition circuit such that alternately during a first time interval over the Ignition circuit ignition pulses are applied to the lamp and during a second Time interval the ignition operation is temporarily interrupted, after the Igniting the lamp the ignition circuit is turned off.
- the duration of the first Interval is, for example, 0.25s to 1s, during the duration of the second time interval for example 0.5s to 2.5s.
- the method according to the invention differs from this conventional one Method in that after an unintentional switching off of the lamp, the number is counted on lamp ignitions and the ignition circuit is switched off when the Lamp unintentionally again after a predetermined number of lamp ignitions switches off.
- the high-pressure gas discharge lamp is preferably only used for a relatively short time the ignition impulses, for example 5 seconds, but until Applying the next ignition pack for a longer time, for example 25 seconds, passes. In this way it is allowed that a high pressure gas discharge lamp in the hot condition is only subjected to ignition pulses for a relatively short time, so that the total time required for a hot lamp to ignite again shortened and the energy used can be reduced.
- a lamp once switched on no more than a predetermined number of reclosures, i.e. Lamp ignitions, if the lamp is unintentionally or has accidentally switched off.
- a predetermined number of reclosures i.e. Lamp ignitions
- the presence of an aged can Lamp can be closed when the lamp turns on after the specified number Lamp ignitions unintentionally switched off again.
- the invention provides that the ignition circuit after a switches off predetermined total ignition time, preferably the total ignition time is measured regardless of the selected network frequency. Should the lamp have not ignited at least once within the specified total ignition time, it is therefore concluded according to the invention that either no lamp is present or the connected lamp is defective. In this way, by means of The method according to the invention not only that for igniting the high-pressure gas discharge lamp required energy consumption can be reduced, but at the same time also on the state of the high-pressure gas discharge lamp connected to the ignition circuit be closed so that if there is an old or defective one Lamp can respond quickly.
- the circuit arrangement according to the invention essentially consists of a known ignition circuit, as shown for example in Fig. 4 or 5, and has in addition to a timer circuit that the ignition operation of the ignition circuit according to the controls previously described inventive method.
- the timer circuit comprises which is the successful ignition of a high pressure gas discharge lamp detects two counters used to detect the number of lamp ignitions or the past total ignition time are provided. When the ignition circuit is switched off, all devices of the timer circuit are switched off reset.
- the timer circuit according to the invention is in particular analogous to that in FIG. 4 known timer circuit used, the interruption of the Ignition operation, i.e. the non-application of the ignition pulses, or the switching off of the Ignition circuit by connecting a resistor in parallel with the help of a controllable Switch to the surge capacitor of the ignition circuit.
- a controllable The switch can be, for example, a thyristor controlled by a rectifier or Transistor as well as a diode or a simple relay.
- the timer circuit according to the invention is also the Use of the timer circuit according to the invention at other points in the ignition circuit, in particular as shown in Fig. 5, possible.
- FIG. 1 a1) shows by way of example the three times a defective lamp is ignited, a distinction being made during the ignition of the lamp between the high-burning phase, the nominal operating phase, during which the lamp voltage U L applied to the lamp lies within a certain nominal burning voltage range, and the so-called cycling mode, in which the lamp voltage exceeds the nominal operating voltage.
- the repeated starting and extinguishing of a lamp shown in FIG. 1 a1) takes place in particular at the end of the service life of the high-pressure gas discharge lamp. Frequent switching off of the faulty lamp is disadvantageous, however, as this can result in the lamp flashing (so-called cycling mode). Frequently switching the lamp off and on not only affects the ballast of the lamp, but the blinking can also have a very disruptive effect on the lighting.
- FIG. 1 a2) shows the known timer circuit shown in FIG. 4 known ignition operation described.
- the ignition process still has an ignition remaining time of 10 minutes 55 seconds.
- a first ignition of the lamp takes place during region 1 shown in FIG.
- a first ignition operation takes place in area 2 with a duration of 5 minutes, so that after the lamp is lit again in area 3 an ignition remaining time of only 5 minutes 55 seconds is available.
- the lamp is switched off again for a further 5 minutes until it ignites again (areas 4,5).
- After turning off the lamp for the third time there is only an ignition remaining time of 55 seconds available, which remains during range 6 is exploited, after the total ignition time no re-ignition of the Lamp is possible and the timer circuit stops the ignition operation.
- Fig. La the function of a timer circuit for an old lamp or in the event 1b shows the function of the extinguishing of the lamp by so-called network wipers a timer circuit for a missing or defective lamp.
- FIG. 1 b1) shows the ignition operation with the known one shown in FIG. 4 Timer circuit, with a missing or defective lamp with the known Timer circuit until the total ignition time has elapsed Lamp. After the total ignition time has elapsed, the total Ignition circuit switched off.
- timer circuitry has the disadvantages previously described, i.e. increased Energy expenditure, unnecessary lamp damage and differently recorded ignition times different network frequencies.
- the ignition pulses as in FIG. 1 a3) to control, so that a lamp in the hot state only a relatively short Time is applied with ignition pulses, until the next one is applied Ignition pack passes a long time.
- the High-pressure gas discharge lamp for, for example, 5 seconds of ignition pulses to the lamp created and then the ignition operation is interrupted in the so-called stand-by mode, so that in this way the total time until a hot lamp is ready to ignite again shortened and significantly reduced the energy used to ignite the lamp can be. It alternates between the ignition mode and the stand-by mode switched, so that the ignition pulses only intermittently to the High pressure gas discharge lamp can be applied.
- Fig. La the High-pressure gas discharge lamp for, for example, 5 seconds of ignition pulses to the lamp created and then the ignition operation is interrupted in the so-called stand-by mode, so that in this way the total time until a hot lamp is ready to ignite again shortened and significantly reduced the energy used to ignite the lamp can be.
- the ignition pulses only intermittently to the High pressure
- a lamp type-dependent Switchover can be provided, with the help of a second ignition method for Metal vapor high pressure gas discharge lamps can also be switched for to ensure reliable ignition of this type of lamp.
- This modified The ignition process for metal vapor high pressure gas discharge lamps basically corresponds the ignition process for high pressure sodium discharge lamps, but after a certain period of time (e.g. after 4 minutes) in which the lamp fails to ignite an attempt was made to set the ignition time to 15s and the blocking time to 75s.
- FIG. 1 b2) shows the method according to the invention for igniting a high-pressure gas discharge lamp in the event that a defective lamp is present or a lamp is missing. It is provided according to the invention that the ignition circuit automatically after expiration switches off a preset total ignition time, whereby - as already with reference to FIG. 1 a3) - to ignite a lamp alternately between an ignition operation, in the ignition pulses are applied to the lamp, and a stand-by mode in which the Ignition operation is interrupted, is switched. As shown in Fig. 1 b2), the Ignition switch off automatically after a pulsed ignition operation of 22 minutes. This means that a maximum of 22 minutes are available for each lamp start.
- a lamp is ignited with the aid of a preferably lamp ignition detection integrated in the timer circuit is monitored.
- FIG. 2 shows an example of the internal structure of the timer circuit according to the invention, as shown in Fig. 4, built into the ignition circuit in a known manner becomes.
- the timer circuit 10 has a control unit 15, which is preferably integrated Circuit, in particular as an ASIC or PAL module, is formed.
- the control unit 15 is via a supply capacitor 21 and a Zener diode 22 and a Input series resistor 19 and a rectifier circuit 16 with supply voltage provided.
- With the input a of the control unit 15 is a series resistor 18 and a further Zener diode 17 connected, the control unit 15 via the Zener diode 17 Ignition of the high-pressure gas discharge lamp controlled by the timer circuit supervised.
- the output b of the control unit 15 controls one with another Resistor 20 connected in series transistor 23, wherein in the conductive state of the Transistor 23, the resistor 20 in parallel with the surge capacitor 7 shown in Fig.
- control unit 15 shown in FIG Timer circuit 10 is described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 3.
- the control unit 15 comprises a lamp ignition detection 24, which via the input a Control unit 15 successfully ignites or burns the controlled high-pressure gas discharge lamp detected.
- the lamp ignition detection 24 generates on the one hand Clock signal for a long-term counter 28, which detects the elapsed ignition time and with a arbitrarily predefined total ignition time, and a compares the lamp status characteristic state signal, which is output to a delay circuit 26 becomes. If the lamp ignition detection 24 detects that the driven lamp is on, see above the clock signal is immediately switched off and a corresponding signal to the Delay circuit 26 emitted, which latches the signal, namely until it is ensured that the lamp has burned up properly.
- the delay circuit 26 outputs a corresponding pulse to a binary counter 27, which detects the number of ignitions of the controlled lamp. According to the Lamp ignition to the binary counter 27, this gives a reset signal to the long-term counter 28, which resets it to zero. For the next one The preset total ignition time is thus available again for the lamp start. For any high-pressure gas discharge lamp is therefore always available to light the lamp.
- the long-term counter 28 detects the elapsed ignition time and gives after the preset total ignition time, for example 22 minutes, to one OR logic 30 a high signal.
- the binary counter 27 likewise indicates a high signal the OR logic 30 from when the binary counter 27 an arbitrarily preset number of lamp ignitions, for example, has detected three.
- the OR logic 30 is also controlled by an internal timer 29, which during the in Fig. 1 a3) Stand-by mode each issues a high signal to the OR logic. In contrast, during the ignition operation, the timer 29 applies a low signal to the OR logic 30 on.
- the internal timer 29 of the timer circuit 10 is, for example, from clocked with an internal oscillator and is particularly independent of the mains frequency the supply voltage of the ignition circuit.
- control signal for the in Fig. 2 shown controllable switch 23 in the form of the output signal of the OR logic 30 on. If this output signal is logic H, then transistor 23 becomes conductive switched, whereby the ignition operation of the ignition circuit is interrupted or switched off becomes.
- the output signal of the OR logic 30 takes - as can be seen from FIG. 3 - then the high level if either the specified number of ignitions, monitored by the binary counter 27, has been exceeded when available standing total ignition time, monitored by the long-term counter 28, has been exceeded or the ignition circuit is in stand-by mode, controlled by the internal Timer 29, is located.
- the timer circuit 10 and thus all devices of the control unit 15 are reset to the original state each time the ignition circuit is switched off.
- the ignition process takes place after a predefined time interrupted. Because of this targeted activation of the controllable switch 23, the High voltage load defined and considered over the entire time less than at the known ignition process. Therefore, the function of the ballast 3 can also the pulse transformer 5 are taken over. The throttle 3 is therefore obsolete and the circuit structure is simplified.
- the light-emitting diode can, for example switched off when the lamp is lit and switched on when the lamp is defective.
- the light-emitting diode may flash while the igniter is being ignited. It can also do that Signal via a digital or analog interface to a remote control device be fed.
- the invention can Ignitor also via a corresponding interface with those available on the market Ignition time jumpers and power switches can be combined.
- Ignition time jumpers are activated during the time period until the lamp is released Nominal luminous flux is required, a normal light bulb etc. is controlled in order to achieve a sufficient Ensure basic lighting level.
- power switch however on the one hand the ignition in conformity with the regulations and on the other hand to save energy stage dimmed lamp operation.
- the ignition of a lamp is of the Lamp manufacturers prescribed, before dimming a high pressure lamp with this 100% power consumption to operate during 330s.
- this Ignition time jumpers or power switches can also be the inventive Take over the ignitor if the ASIC 15 expands accordingly becomes. The ignitor can then be used as a function of the output circuit Power switch or ignition timing jumper can be used.
- the settings of the total ignition time, the maximum permitted number of restartings and the length of the ignition operation or the standby mode of the timer circuit can be changed or programmed as desired are, so that the use of different timer circuits for different Applications are no longer required.
