Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'information lumineuse concernant l'état de fonctionnement d'un système et un procédé de gestion d'un tel dispositif, notamment dans le domaine avionique.The present invention relates to a light information device concerning the state of operation of a system and a management method such a device, particularly in the field of avionics.
Pour simplifier la description, on considérera dans la suite, à titre d'exemple, une mise en oeuvre de l'invention dans le domaine avionique.To simplify the description, we will consider in the following, as an example, a implementation of the invention in the avionics field.
Actuellement de nombreux indicateurs de signalisation de type voyants lumineux, par exemple des diodes électroluminescentes, sont utilisés dans les cockpits d'avions pour informer les pilotes, éventuellement les opérateurs de maintenance, des états de fonctionnement des différents systèmes présents dans ces avions.Currently many indicators of signaling type lights, for example electroluminescent diodes, are used in cockpits of planes to inform pilots, possibly maintenance operators, states of the various systems present in these planes.
La perte d'une information délivrée par un tel indicateur, principalement en fonctionnement opérationnel, peut s'avérer délicate, voire dangereuse.The loss of information delivered by a such an indicator, mainly in operation operational, can be tricky or even dangerous.
Les pilotes sont donc amenés à vérifier régulièrement le bon état de fonctionnement de tels indicateurs par l'intermédiaire d'une commande de test qui a pour effet d'allumer un ensemble pré-déterminé de ceux-ci, par exemple ceux du panneau plafond. Les pilotes doivent alors changer les voyants défectueux en ligne.The pilots are therefore led to check regularly the good working order of such indicators via a test command which has the effect of lighting up a pre-determined set of these, for example those of the ceiling panel. The drivers must then change the faulty LEDs to line.
Ainsi, comme illustré sur la figure 1, dans
un ensemble de signalisation constitué de plusieurs
voyants 10 commandés par des signaux SV1, SV2, SV3, au
travers de diodes 11, un bouton de commande 12 provoque
l'allumage simultané de tous ces voyants et permet au
pilote de repérer aisément un voyant qui reste éteint.Thus, as illustrated in Figure 1, in
a signaling assembly consisting of
Un tel ensemble présente de nombreux inconvénients, et notamment :
- une consommation importante pendant le test, surtout lorsque ces voyants sont des lampes à incandescence,
- une impossibilité de détecter un voyant tombé en panne postérieurement au test,
- une efficacité du test reposant sur la vigilance de l'opérateur.
- a significant consumption during the test, especially when these lights are incandescent lamps,
- an impossibility of detecting a light that has failed after the test,
- an effectiveness of the test based on the vigilance of the operator.
Le remplacement des lampes incandescentes par des diodes électroluminescentes a permis d'augmenter la durée de vie de tels indicateurs.Replacement of incandescent lamps by light-emitting diodes allowed to increase the life of such indicators.
Il est également connu d'utiliser des
voyants constitués chacun de plusieurs éléments
émetteur de lumière 20 en montage série/parallèle,
comme illustré sur la figure 2. La panne d'un élément
20 ne provoque alors pas la panne du voyant mais une
simple baisse de luminosité. Un tel dispositif n'est
pas réellement tolérant aux pannes mais présente un
mode de fonctionnement dégradé en cas de panne.It is also known to use
indicators each consisting of several
L'invention a pour objet un dispositif d'information lumineuse de l'état de fonctionnement d'un système permettant de pallier les inconvénients des dispositifs de l'art antérieur en détectant les pannes des indicateurs de signalisation et en garantissant un bon fonctionnement même en présence de certaines pannes. L'invention a également pour objet un procédé de gestion d'un tel dispositif.The subject of the invention is a device of light information of the operating state a system to overcome the disadvantages devices of the prior art by detecting the breakdowns of signaling indicators and in guaranteeing a good functioning even in the presence of some failures. The invention also relates to a method of managing such a device.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'information lumineuse concernant l'état de fonctionnement d'un système comprenant au moins un voyant lumineux et des moyens de détection de panne de ce ou ces voyants, caractérisé en ce que chaque voyant comprend m branches en parallèle composée chacune de n diodes électroluminescentes en série, et des moyens de sélection d'une branche, m et n étant des nombres entiers tels que : m ≥ 2 et n ≥ 1.The present invention relates to a light information device concerning the state of operation of a system comprising at least one indicator light and means for detecting failure of this or these LEDs, characterized in that each LED includes m branches in parallel each consisting of n electroluminescent diodes in series, and means of selection of a branch, m and n being numbers integers such that: m ≥ 2 and n ≥ 1.
Avantageusement chaque voyant comprend :
- un ensemble émetteur de lumière composé de m branches de n diodes électroluminescentes connectées en série et dans le même sens, les m premières extrémités de chaque branche étant connectées ensemble, leurs secondes extrémités étant connectées aux différentes entrées d'un sélecteur,
- ce sélecteur qui, en fonction d'un ordre de commande, relie une branche sélectionnée vers la sortie.
- a light emitting assembly composed of m branches of n light-emitting diodes connected in series and in the same direction, the first m ends of each branch being connected together, their second ends being connected to the different inputs of a selector,
- this selector which, according to a command order, connects a selected branch to the output.
Ce dispositif comprend, avantageusement, les circuits suivants associés à chaque voyant :
- un générateur de courant qui alimente ce voyant,
- un module de commande qui pilote le sélecteur ainsi qu'un interrupteur,
- cet interrupteur qui est relié entre la sortie du sélecteur et l'entrée du générateur de courant.
- a generator of current which feeds this indicator,
- a control module which controls the selector and a switch,
- this switch is connected between the output of the selector and the input of the current generator.
Avantageusement, chaque voyant, son module de commande, ainsi que son interrupteur sont intégrés dans un boítier unique.Advantageously, each indicator, its module control and its switch are integrated in a single housing.
La présente invention concerne également un procédé de gestion d'un dispositif d'information lumineuse concernant l'état de fonctionnement d'un système, comprenant plusieurs voyants comportant chacun plusieurs branches de plusieurs éléments lumineux, dans lequel on a une étape de test automatique permanent de tous les voyants du système.The present invention also relates to a method of managing an information device light concerning the operating status of a system, comprising several LEDs each comprising several branches of several luminous elements, in which has a permanent automatic test step of all the lights of the system.
Avantageusement, le procédé comprend une étape de gestion dynamique de la redondance en cas de défaillance d'une branche d'un voyant.Advantageously, the process comprises a step of dynamic management of the redundancy in case of failure of a branch of a light.
Au cours de l'étape de test, on a les étapes suivantes pour chaque voyant :
- dans le cas où le voyant est allumé, on vérifie son bon fonctionnement en contrôlant l'intensité consommée et la tension présente à ses bornes,
- dans le cas où ce voyant est éteint, on le sollicite pendant une durée de l'ordre de quelques microsecondes et on mesure à cet instant ses paramètres courant/tension.
- in the case where the indicator is lit, its functioning is verified by controlling the intensity consumed and the voltage present at its terminals,
- in the case where this indicator is off, it is solicited for a period of the order of a few microseconds and at this time its current / voltage parameters are measured.
Au cours de l'étape de gestion dynamique, on éclaire en alternance les différentes branches de chaque voyant avec une fréquence de scrutation de l'ordre de quelques kilohertz, les paramètres courant/tension étant contrôlés à chaque scrutation. On ne sollicite plus une branche si un défaut est constaté dans celle-ci. Toutefois, si toutes les branches sont en défaut, mais s'il subsiste au moins une branche qui n'est pas en circuit ouvert, on peut requalifier cette (ces) branche(s) comme étant fonctionnelle(s)During the dynamic management stage, we alternately illuminate the different branches of each LED with a polling frequency of the order of a few kilohertz, the parameters current / voltage being monitored at each scan. We no longer solicits a branch if a defect is found in this one. However, if all branches are in default, but if there is at least one branch remaining is not open circuit, we can requalify this (these) branch (s) as functional (s)
Dans le cas où un défaut est constaté dans au moins une branche, le rapport cyclique d'allumage des autres branches sans défaut est modifié pour garder la même luminosité globale au niveau du voyant.In the event that a defect is found in at least one branch, the duty cycle other flawless branches is changed to keep the same overall brightness at the LED.
L'invention peut avantageusement être utilisée dans le domaine avionique.The invention can advantageously be used in the avionics field.
Ainsi dans le procédé de l'invention, on effectue un test automatique permanent de tous les voyants du cockpit d'un avion et on décharge ainsi le pilote de cette tâche. Un tel test en continu, permet d'éviter, la non-détection d'une défaillance cachée, par le pilote. De plus, la structure redondante des voyants, permet une gestion dynamique immédiate en cas de défaillance de cette première redondance sans répercussion visible au niveau du pilote, et donc sans surcharge de travail pour celui-ci.Thus in the process of the invention, performs a permanent self-test of all lights of the cockpit of an airplane and we unload the pilot of this task. Such a continuous test allows to avoid, the non-detection of a hidden failure, by the pilot. In addition, the redundant structure of LEDs, allows immediate dynamic management in case of failure of this first redundancy without visible repercussion at the pilot level, and therefore without work overload for this one.
Les figures 1 et 2 illustrent deux dispositifs de l'art antérieur.Figures 1 and 2 illustrate two devices of the prior art.
Les figure 3 et 4 illustrent le dispositif de l'invention.Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the device of the invention.
La figure 5 illustre un mode de réalisation avantageux du dispositif de l'invention. Figure 5 illustrates an embodiment advantageous of the device of the invention.
Le dispositif d'information lumineuse de l'invention comprend au moins un voyant 29 tel que celui représenté sur la figure 3, qui comporte :
- un
ensemble 30 émetteur de lumière composé dem branches 31 de n diodes électroluminescentes (DEL) 32 (avec m ≥ 2 et n ≥ 1) les n diodes de chaque branche étant connectées en série et dans le même sens, les m premières extrémités de cesbranches 31 étant connectées ensemble à l'entrée E, leurs secondes extrémités étant connectées aux différentes entrées d'un sélecteur 33, - ce
sélecteur 33, qui en fonction d'un ordre de commande C, relie une desbranches 31 sélectionnée à la sortie S.
- a light emitter assembly composed of
m branches 31 of n light-emitting diodes (LEDs) 32 (with m ≥ 2 and n ≥ 1), the n diodes of each branch being connected in series and in the same direction, the first m ends of thesebranches 31 being connected together to the input E, their second ends being connected to the different inputs of aselector 33, - this
selector 33, which as a function of a control command C, connects one of thebranches 31 selected at the output S.
Un dispositif de mesure de tension 34
connecté entre l'entrée E et la sortie S du voyant
permet de connaítre la tension aux bornes de ce voyant.
Un dispositif de mesure d'intensité 35 connecté en
sortie du voyant 29 permet de connaítre l'intensité du
courant qui traverse celui-ci.A
Comme illustré sur la figure 4, le voyant
29 est alimenté par un générateur de courant 40. Un
module de commande 41 pilote d'une part le sélecteur 33
via une ligne 43 et d'autre part un interrupteur 42 via
une ligne 44. Ce module de commande 41 contient une
mémoire permettant de stocker l'état fonctionnel ou non
fonctionnel de chaque branche 31. Le signal de commande
de ce module 41, véhiculé sur une ligne de commande
extérieure 45, est un ordre classique donné à un voyant
(allumé/éteint). Une ligne de compte rendu 46 permet de
rendre compte de l'état de ce voyant 29 à des
dispositifs externes à des fins d'alarme ou de
maintenance par exemple.As shown in Figure 4, the
Le procédé de l'invention réalise un test dynamique de tous les voyants 29, par exemple ceux d'un cockpit avion, tel que :
- dans le cas où un voyant est allumé, il est facile de vérifier son bon état de fonctionnement en contrôlant régulièrement l'intensité consommée et la tension présente à ces bornes.
- dans le cas où un voyant est éteint, on utilise le même principe de mesure en sollicitant brièvement ce voyant. On alimente alors ce voyant durant une durée de l'ordre de quelques microsecondes, non perceptible par l'oeil humain, en respectant les valeurs de commande nominales. On mesure, à cet instant, les paramètres courant/tension de ce voyant.
- in the case where a light is on, it is easy to check that it is in good working order by regularly checking the current consumed and the voltage present at these terminals.
- in the case where a light is off, the same measurement principle is used by briefly soliciting this light. This indicator is then powered for a duration of the order of a few microseconds, not perceptible by the human eye, respecting the nominal control values. At this moment, the current / voltage parameters of this indicator are measured.
Le procédé de l'invention réalise également
une gestion dynamique de la redondance de chaque
voyant, qui consiste, à l'aide du sélecteur 33, à
sélectionner en alternance les différentes branches 31
de ce voyant avec une fréquence de scrutation
suffisamment élevée (de l'ordre de quelques kHz) pour
ne pas être perçue par l'oeil humain.The method of the invention also provides
a dynamic management of the redundancy of each
which consists, using the
A chaque scrutation, les paramètres courant/tension du voyant sont contrôlés. Si un défaut est constaté, la branche mise en cause n'est plus sollicitée et les autres branches ont leur rapport cyclique d'allumage modifié pour garder la même luminosité globale au niveau du voyant. At each scan, the parameters current / voltage of the indicator are checked. If a defect is found, the defendant branch is no longer requested and the other branches have their report cyclical ignition modified to keep the same overall brightness at the LED.
Le procédé de l'invention permet ainsi d'éviter la perte totale du voyant. Aussi, même lorsque le voyant n'est pas allumé, le procédé de l'invention continue son test dynamique en réalisant une brève commande des différentes branches. Dès la perte d'une première branche, il est possible d'élaborer un message de maintenance préventive sans que le pilote en soit informé.The method of the invention thus allows to avoid the total loss of the light. Also, even when the indicator light is not lit, the method of the invention continues his dynamic test by performing a brief control of the different branches. Upon the loss of first branch, it is possible to develop a message preventive maintenance without the pilot being informed.
Ainsi, si l'on considère les deux états possibles d'un voyant ; voyant éteint ou voyant allumé, on a le fonctionnement suivant :So, if we consider the two states possible of a sight; light off or light on, we have the following operation:
Aucun ordre n'arrive sur la ligne de
commande extérieure 45. Le module de commande 41 ouvre
et ferme l'interrupteur 42 de façon à alimenter le
voyant 29 par des impulsions suffisamment brèves, par
exemple d'une durée de l'ordre de quelques
microsecondes, et espacées pour que le voyant 29
paraisse éteint à un observateur.No order arrives on the line of
Chaque impulsion est aiguillée
successivement par le sélecteur 33 sur une des branches
31. Elle permet de mesurer la tension aux bornes de
cette branche et le courant qui la traverse.Each pulse is switched
successively by the
Deux cas de panne peuvent être détectés (une diode électroluminescente ne connaít que deux modes de panne, le court-circuit ou le circuit ouvert) :
- un courant nul : le circuit est ouvert et la branche ne peut plus fonctionner. Elle est considérée comme non fonctionnelle.
- une tension plus faible que la tension nominale : une diode au moins est en court-circuit. Le fait de considérer ou non la branche comme fonctionnelle dépend du rapport entre le nombre de diodes en bon état et le nombre de diodes de la branche, qui se trouve égal au rapport entre la tension mesurée et la tension nominale. Le fabricant ou l'utilisateur décide à partir de quelle baisse d'efficacité une branche doit être déclarée non fonctionnelle. Un tel mode de fonctionnement "voyant éteint" permet au module de commande 41 de connaítre avant tout ordre d'allumage, les branches fonctionnelles qui pourront être utilisées en mode "voyant allumé".
- a zero current: the circuit is open and the branch can no longer function. It is considered non-functional.
- a voltage lower than the nominal voltage: at least one diode is short-circuited. Considering whether or not the branch is functional depends on the ratio between the number of diodes in good condition and the number of diodes in the branch, which is equal to the ratio between the measured voltage and the nominal voltage. The manufacturer or user decides from which efficiency drop a branch must be declared non-functional. Such a mode of operation "indicator off" allows the
control module 41 to know before any ignition command, functional branches that can be used in "light on" mode.
un ordre d'allumage est arrivé sur la ligne
de commande extérieure 45. Le module de commande 41
ferme l'interrupteur 42 de façon à alimenter le voyant
29 en permanence. De manière cyclique, le sélecteur 33
commandé par le signal C alimente les branches 31
fonctionnelles les unes après les autres.an ignition order has arrived on the
Pour chaque branche 31 alimentée, deux cas de panne peuvent être détectés :
- un courant nul : le circuit est ouvert et la branche ne peut plus fonctionner. Elle est considérée comme non fonctionnelle.
- une tension plus faible que la tension nominale : une diode au moins est en court-circuit. Le fait de considérer ou non la branche comme fonctionnelle dépend du rapport entre le nombre de diodes en bon état et le nombre de diodes de la branche qui se trouve égal au rapport entre la tension mesurée et la tension nominale.
- a zero current: the circuit is open and the branch can no longer function. It is considered non-functional.
- a voltage lower than the nominal voltage: at least one diode is short-circuited. Whether the branch is considered as functional depends on the ratio between the number of good diodes and the number of diodes of the branch which is equal to the ratio between the measured voltage and the nominal voltage.
On peut avoir un mode de fonctionnement dégradé dans lequel toutes les branches sont déclarées non fonctionnelles mais dans lequel il subsiste cependant au moins une branche qui n'est pas en circuit ouvert. Dans ce cas, la (ou les) branche(s) en question peut(vent) être requalifiées comme fonctionnelles, le voyant émettant moins de lumière que lors de son fonctionnement nominal.We can have a mode of operation gradient in which all branches are declared non-functional but in which it remains however at least one branch that is not in circuit open. In this case, the branch (s) in question can (wind) be requalified as functional, the LED emitting less light than when it was nominal operation.
Toute détection de panne peut donner lieu à l'émission d'un signal sur la ligne de compte rendu, destiné à un opérateur et/ou à tout système de maintenance.Any failure detection can result in the emission of a signal on the line of report, intended for an operator and / or any maintenance.
Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, tel
qu'illustré sur la figure 5, le voyant 29, son module
de commande 41 ainsi que l'interrupteur 42 sont
intégrés dans un boítier unique 50, avec deux lignes
d'alimentation 51, de façon à présenter l'aspect
extérieur d'un voyant presque classique.In an advantageous embodiment, such
