Definitions

  • Ignition device for a discharge lamp and method for igniting a discharge lamp
  • the invention relates to an ignition device for a discharge lamp according to the preamble of claim 1 or 13 and a method for igniting a discharge lamp.
  • the invention relates to an ignition device for a high-pressure discharge lamp, for example a low-wattage metal halide high-pressure discharge lamp for a motor vehicle headlight.
  • the high-pressure discharge lamp has a gas-tight discharge vessel. Two gas discharge electrodes protrude into the discharge space and are electrically conductively connected to external power supplies. During the operation of the discharge lamp, a light-emitting discharge arc is formed between its gas discharge electrodes.
  • an operating device is required which supplies the discharge lamp with electrical energy and which limits the discharge current via the discharge arc.
  • the operating device also comprises an ignition device for the discharge lamp which initiates the gas discharge.
  • an ignition voltage of a few kilovolts is necessary when the lamp is cold, while an ignition voltage of more than 20 kN may be required to re-ignite the same lamp - that is, to ignite it while it is still hot.
  • the operating voltage of the high-pressure discharge lamp ie the voltage drop across the discharge path required to maintain the discharge arc, to only about 80 V to 100 V.
  • the ignition device can be designed, for example, as a pulse ignition device which detects one of the two gas discharge electrodes of the high-pressure discharge lamp during the discharge Ignition phase applied with unipolar high-voltage pulses.
  • An ignition device corresponding to the preamble of claim 1 is disclosed in the PCT application with the international publication number WO 97/04624.
  • This ignition device is a pulse ignition device for a high-pressure discharge lamp.
  • the pulse ignition device has an ignition transformer with a primary and a secondary winding, an ignition capacitor, a resistance element, via which the ignition capacitor is charged, and an automatic switch.
  • One connection of the secondary winding is connected to one of the gas discharge electrodes of the high-pressure discharge lamp, while its other connection is connected to the voltage input of the ignition device.
  • the primary winding of the ignition transformer and the switching path of the automatic switch are arranged in such a way that the discharge current of the ignition capacitor flows through them.
  • the ignition transformer Since the ignition voltage required for the hot re-ignition of the high-pressure discharge lamp is considerably higher than the voltage present at the voltage input of the ignition device, the ignition transformer must have a correspondingly high transmission ratio.
  • the large transmission ratio of the ignition transformer means that the known and commercially available ignition devices require a large amount of space due to the large-volume ignition transformer. That's why it is in the case of low-wattage metal halide high-pressure discharge lamps which are intended for use in motor vehicle headlights, it is not possible to accommodate the ignition device for these lamps in the lamp base.
  • the object of the invention to provide an improved ignition device for a discharge lamp and an improved method for igniting a discharge lamp.
  • the ignition device should have a construction which is as compact as possible, so that it can still be accommodated in the lamp base even in the case of the low-wattage metal halide high-pressure discharge lamps used in motor vehicle headlights, which have a very small construction.
  • the ignition device has a transformer which has a parallel connection consisting of at least two primary windings and at least one secondary winding, the parallel connection of the primary windings being inductively coupled to the at least one secondary winding.
  • This measure allows the number of turns on the secondary side of the transformer to be considerably reduced for a given transformation ratio of the transformer without the inductive coupling between the primary and secondary side being impaired by the low number of turns of the primary windings.
  • the induction voltage available on the secondary side does not change if the gear ratio is maintained.
  • the primary windings advantageously each have a maximum of two turns. This also reduces the number of turns of the at least one secondary winding in accordance with the desired transmission ratio.
  • a transformer with two primary windings connected in parallel each having two turns
  • the primary windings connected in parallel can advantageously each consist of a copper strip.
  • the reduction in the number of turns on the secondary side enables a compact construction of the transformer and of the entire ignition device, so that all components of the ignition device, including the transformer, can be accommodated in the lamp base.
  • the high-voltage pulses for igniting the gas discharge are then generated within the lamp base and are therefore no longer accessible from the outside.
  • the use of a transformer with a ferrite core and a coil former which has at least one chamber for the transformer windings has proven to be advantageous.
  • the ferrite core advantageously consists of a high-resistance material, so that the ferrite core has an electrical resistance of more than 1 M ⁇ .

  • the ignition device comprises a capacitor, a resistance element, an automatic switch and a transformer with at least two primary windings connected in parallel and with at least one secondary winding.
  • the components of the ignition device are arranged and interconnected in such a way that the condenser sensor discharges abruptly to ignite the gas discharge in the lamp, the discharge current of the capacitor flowing through the parallel connection of the primary windings and over the switching path of the automatic switch, so that one of the Gas discharge electrodes of the lamp are acted upon by the voltage pulses induced in the at least one secondary winding.
  • the ignition device is designed as an asymmetrical pulse ignition device which applies only one of the lamp electrodes to unipolar ignition voltage pulses.

  • the particularly preferred second exemplary embodiment of the pulse ignition device has a transformer with two primary windings connected in parallel, both of which are discharged during the ignition phase of the lamp by the discharge current of the capacitor of the ignition device discharging abruptly over the switching path of the automatic switch, and two secondary windings both are inductively coupled to the parallel connection of the primary windings.
  • the two secondary windings are each connected via a connection of the ignition voltage output to a gas discharge electrode of the lamp and arranged in such a way that unipolar high-voltage pulses of opposite polarity are induced in the two secondary windings by the aforementioned discharge current.
  • the transformer belonging to the ignition device has a primary winding with at most two turns, which according to the invention consists of a wide metal strip which encloses the at least one secondary winding and advantageously also the ferrite body of the transformer.
  • This measure allows the number of turns on the secondary side of the transformer to be significantly reduced for a given transformation ratio of the transformer without the inductive coupling between the primary and secondary side being impaired by the low number of turns of the primary winding.
  • the use of a transformer with a ferrite core and a coil former, which has at least one chamber for the at least one secondary winding, has proven to be advantageous.
