Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schaltungsanordnung zum hochfrequenten Betrieb einer niederwattigen Niederdruckentladungslampe gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for high-frequency operation a low wattage low pressure discharge lamp according to the preamble of claim 1.

Der Nachteil dieser Schaltungsanordnung ist, daß durch die Halbbrückenschaltung und dem bei solchen Schaltnetzteilen benötigten Zwischenkreiskondensator Oberschwingungen im Netz erzeugt werden. Dieser Netzstrom-Oberwellengehalt muß gemäß IEC-Publikation 555-2 bei Vorschaltgeräten oder Konvertern größer 25 W Leistungsaufnahme ab 1996 die Klasse C der Vorschriften und bei Kompaktlampen, Vorschaltgeräten und Adapter kleiner gleich 25 W Leistungsaufnahme ab 1998 die Klasse D der Vorschriften erfüllen.The disadvantage of this circuit arrangement is that by the half-bridge circuit and the intermediate circuit capacitor required in such switching power supplies Harmonics are generated in the network. This mains current harmonic content in accordance with IEC publication 555-2 for ballasts or converters larger than 25 W power consumption from 1996 class C of Regulations and smaller for compact lamps, ballasts and adapters 25 W power consumption from 1998 meet class D of the regulations.

Da die Größe des Zwischenkreiskondensators proportional zur Leistungsaufnahme der Lampe ist, benötigen Vorschaltgeräte für Lampen größer 25 W Zwischenkreiskondensatoren mit höheren Kapazitäten. Diese haben jedoch einen hohen Oberwellengehalt zur Folge, so daß bei diesen Lampen aktive Oberwellenfilterschaltungen in Form von aufwendigen Pumpschaltungen mit Kondensatoren und Dioden benötigt werden, um die IEC-Vorschriften der Klasse C erfüllen zu können. Eine solche Schaltungsanordnung wird z.B. in der DE-OS 36 23 749 beschrieben. Diese aktiven Schaltungen haben außerdem zusätzliche Funkstörungen zur Folge, die nur mit einem hohen Bauteileaufwand unterbunden werden können.Because the size of the DC link capacitor is proportional to the power consumption of the lamp, ballasts for lamps larger than 25 W are required DC link capacitors with higher capacities. However, these have result in a high harmonic content, so that active in these lamps Harmonic filter circuits in the form of complex pump circuits with capacitors and diodes required to meet the IEC regulations class C compliance. Such a circuit arrangement is e.g. described in DE-OS 36 23 749. These active circuits also have additional radio interference, which only requires a lot of components can be prevented.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Schaltungsanordnung zum Betrieb von niederwattigen Niederdruckentladungslampen, d.h. kleiner gleich 25 W zu schaffen, die den Netzstromoberwellengehalt unter den in der Klasse D der IEC-Publikationen festgelegten Höchstwerten hält. Der hierfür benötigte Schaltungsaufwand sollte möglichst klein und kostengünstig zu realisieren sein. The object of the invention is to provide a circuit arrangement for the operation of low wattage low pressure discharge lamps, i.e. less than or equal to 25 W. create that the mains current harmonic content among those in class D the IEC publications holds maximums. The one needed for this Circuitry should be as small and inexpensive to implement his.

Aus der DE 44 30 397 ist eine Schaltungsanordnung bekannt, die den Oberwellengehalt unter den in der Klasse D der IEC-Publikationen festgelegten Höchstwert hält und zur Schaffung eines kapazitätsarmen Gleichstrom-Zwischenkreises drei Kapazitäten (mit dem Zwischenkreiskondensator) und zwei Dioden benötigt.From DE 44 30 397 a circuit arrangement is known which contains the harmonic content among those specified in class D of the IEC publications Maximum value holds and to create a low-capacity DC link three capacitances (with the intermediate circuit capacitor) and two diodes needed.

Aufgabe war es hier nun eine weiter vereinfachte Schaltungsanordnung zu schaffen, die die vorgegebenen Grenzwerte für die Oberwellen einhält und mit noch weniger Bauteilen auskommt.The task here was to further simplify the circuit arrangement create, which complies with the specified limits for harmonics and manages with even fewer components.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.The object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1 solved. Further advantageous features can be found in the subclaims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Oberwellenfilter-Schaltkreis aus lediglich einer Diode und lediglich einem Kondensator zusätzlich zum Zwischenkreiskondensator bewirkt einen sicheren Betrieb des Halbbrückengenerators im Nulldurchgang der Netz-Sinusspannung. Der Schaltkreis arbeitet nicht aktiv wie die oben aufgeführten Pumpschaltungen, sondern passiv, so daß hierdurch nur geringe Funkstörungen entstehen und der Aufwand an Bauteilen zur Funkentstörung klein gehalten werden kann. Der Schaltkreis kommt außerdem mit relativ niedrigen Kapazitätswerten im Gleichstrom-Zwischenkreis aus. Als Zwischenkreiskondensator können daher kostengünstige Folienkondensatoren verwendet werden.The harmonic filter circuit according to the invention consists of only one diode and only one capacitor in addition to the intermediate circuit capacitor ensures safe operation of the half-bridge generator at zero crossing the mains sine voltage. The circuit does not work actively like that Pump circuits listed above, but passive, so that this only low radio interference and the expense of components for radio interference suppression can be kept small. The circuit also comes with relatively low capacitance values in the DC link. Inexpensive film capacitors can therefore be used as the intermediate circuit capacitor be used.

Aufgrund der geringen Ladekapazität des Zwischenkreiskondensators und der erfindungsgemäßen Ankopplung einer Lampenseite an den erfindungsgemäßen Schaltkreis zur Oberwellenfilterung ergibt sich ein hoher Power-Faktor (Verhältnis von Wirkleistung zu Scheinleistung) von größer gleich 0,9.Due to the low charging capacity of the intermediate circuit capacitor and the coupling of a lamp side according to the invention to the invention Circuit for harmonic filtering results in a high power factor (Ratio of active power to apparent power) greater than or equal to 0.9.

Der Oberwellenfilter-Schaltkreis aus einer Diode und. einem Kondensator ist auf kleinem Raum kostengünstig zu realisieren, da als Kapazitäten ebenfalls Folien-Kondensatoren verwendet werden können, die zudem (gegenüber Elektrolyt-Kondensatoren) eine höhere "Temperatur-Langzeit-Stabilität" aufweisen. The harmonic filter circuit consisting of a diode and. is a capacitor Can be realized inexpensively in a small space, as capacities as well Foil capacitors can be used, which also (opposite Electrolytic capacitors) higher "long-term temperature stability" exhibit.

Der Oberwellenfilter-Schaltkreis ermöglicht außerdem die Einsparung des Koppelkondensators in Reihe zur Resonanzinduktivität im Serienresonanzkreis, da der Kondensator des Oberwellenfilter-Schaltkreises die Aufgabe des Koppelkondensators mit übernimmt.The harmonic filter circuit also saves the Coupling capacitor in series to the resonance inductance in the series resonance circuit, because the capacitor of the harmonic filter circuit does the job of the coupling capacitor also takes over.

Erfindungsgemäß weist die Schaltungsanordnung zusätzlich einen Oberwellenfilter-Schaltkreis 5 auf, wobei in die Verbindung des Pluspols des Netzgleichrichters 2 mit der zweiten Elektrode E2 der Niederdruckentladungslampe LP eine Diode D1 in Reihe und in Gleichstromsperrichtung geschaltet sind. Außerdem ist der Abgriff M2 zwischen der Diode D1 und die zweite Elektrode E2 über einen Kondensator C1 mit dem Minuspol des Netzgleichrichters 2 verbunden. Parallel zur Diode D1 ist außerdem ein Widerstand R9 geschaltet. Der Zwischenkreiskondensator C2 ist bei diesem Blockschaltbild parallel zum Gleichstomausgang des Netzgleichrichters geschaltet.According to the invention, the circuit arrangement additionally has a harmonic filter circuit 5, whereby in the connection of the positive pole of the mains rectifier 2 with the second electrode E2 of the low-pressure discharge lamp LP a diode D1 connected in series and in the DC blocking direction are.

A resistor R9 is also parallel to the diode D1 switched. The intermediate circuit capacitor C2 is in this block diagram connected in parallel to the DC output of the mains rectifier.

Figur 2 zeigt eine mögliche Variante zum Blockschaltbild, wie es in Figur 1 dargestellt ist. Hier ist der Minuspol des Netzgleichrichters 2 über eine Diode D1 in Gleichstromsperrichtung (bezogen auf den Pluspol) mit der zweiten Elektrode E2 der Lampe LP verbunden. Der Abgriff M2 zwischen der Diode D1 und der zweiten Elektrode E2 ist über einen Kondensator C1 mit dem Pluspol des Netzgleichrichters 2 verbunden. Parallel zur Diode D1 ist auch hier ein Widerstand R9 geschaltet.FIG. 2 shows a possible variant of the block diagram as shown in FIG. 1 is shown. Here is the negative pole of the rectifier 2 via a diode D1 in the direct current blocking direction (related to the positive pole) with the second Electrode E2 of the lamp LP connected. The tap M2 between the diode D1 and the second electrode E2 is connected to the capacitor C1 Positive pole of the mains rectifier 2 connected. Is parallel to the diode D1 too here a resistor R9 switched.

Die Variante in Figur 3 entspricht im wesentlichen dem Blockschaltbild in Figur 1. Der Zwischenkreiskondensator C2 ist hier jedoch nicht parallel zum Gleichstromausgang des Netzgleichrichters 2 sondern parallel zur Diode D1 geschaltet.The variant in FIG. 3 essentially corresponds to the block diagram in FIG Figure 1. However, the intermediate circuit capacitor C2 is not parallel to DC output of the mains rectifier 2 but parallel to the diode D1 switched.

Figur 4 zeigt das genaue Schaltbild der erfindungsgemäßen Schaltungsanordnung mit Oberwellenfilter-Schaltkreis zum Betrieb einer Niederdruckentladungslampe LP gemäß dem Blockschaltbild in Figur 1. Direkt an den Netzeingang ist in jede Zuleitung eine Filterdrossel FD1, FD2 sowie parallel zur Filterdrossel FD1 ein Widerstand R1 geschaltet. Diesem Hochfrequenzfilter folgt der Netzgleichrichter mit den Dioden D3 bis D6. Die selbststeuernde Halbbrückenschaltung besteht aus den beiden Transistoren T1, T2, den Vorschaltwiderständen R3 bis R6, dem Steuerübertrager und dem Anlaufgenerator mit den Widerständen R2, R7, dem Startkondensator C4, der Diode D7 sowie dem Diac DC. Der Steuerübertrager arbeitet nach dem Rückkopplungsprinzip und setzt sich aus der Primärwicklung RKA sowie den beiden Sekundärwicklungen RKB und RKC zusammen. Die Lampe LP ist mit einem Anschluß der Elektrode E1 mit dem Mittenabgriff M1 zwischen den beiden Transistoren T1, T2 und mit einem Anschluß der anderen Elektrode E2 mit dem Pluspol des Netzgleichrichters verbunden. Außerdem ist ein Serienresonanzkreis aus Resonanzinduktivität L1 und Resonanzkon-densator C6 vorgesehen, wobei die Resonanzinduktivität L1 zwischen die Primärwicklung RKA des Steuerübertragers und den entsprechenden Anschluß der Elektrode E1 und der Resonanzkondensator C6 zwischen die auf der Heizkreisseite liegenden Anschlüsse der Elektroden E1 und E2 geschaltet sind. Figure 4 shows the exact circuit diagram of the circuit arrangement according to the invention with harmonic filter circuit for operating a low-pressure discharge lamp LP according to the block diagram in Figure 1. Directly to the Mains input is a filter choke FD1, FD2 and parallel in each supply line A resistor R1 is connected to the filter choke FD1. This high frequency filter follows the line rectifier with diodes D3 to D6. The self-steering Half-bridge circuit consists of the two transistors T1, T2, the series resistors R3 to R6, the control transformer and the starting generator with the resistors R2, R7, the starting capacitor C4, the diode D7 as well as the Diac DC.
