Definitions
- This invention relates to an electronic operating device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- the mercury vapor pressure increases exponentially with temperature.
- the luminous flux of the fluorescent tube initially increases with the mercury vapor pressure and the temperature, because with increasing pressure, more mercury atoms are available to generate light.
- the self-absorption losses increase with temperature, which leads to a drop in luminous flux. In between there is an optimal operating temperature.
- the new T5 fluorescent tubes 14 to 35 W and 24 to 80 W are equipped with a cooling point behind a heating coil, namely the heating coil on the stamped side of the fluorescent tube, so that they allow regulation of the mercury vapor pressure by heating this coil and thus the cooling point.
- T5 fluorescent tubes are designed in such a way that they can reach their optimal operating temperature of 35 ° at an ambient temperature in the luminaire from . Reach 25 °.
- T5 fluorescent tubes in particular are particularly sensitive to temperature fluctuations and react with a high luminous flux drop if the optimal operating temperature is not maintained, i.e. if the mercury vapor pressure is not optimally set.
- the operating temperature is maintained when using the 15 fluorescent lamps with newer, non-dimmable control gear, which are also referred to as electronic ballasts.
- the temperature of the fluorescent tube drops due to the lower lamp output.
- the ambient temperature of the fluorescent tubes i.e. the temperature in the luminaires
- the luminous flux also drops.
- some dimmable electronic ballasts heat the heating coil of the fluorescent lamps with a filament heating current that is independent of dimming. The result is that with electrical dimming by pulse width modulation to 10%, the luminous flux also drops to 10% of the maximum luminous flux. Due to the filament heating current, which is independent of dimming, lamps reach operating temperatures of approx. 45 ° C undimmed. As explained above, the self-absorption losses increase when the operating temperature is too high. This is why these ECGs deliver worse maximum luminous flux values than the non-dimmable ECGs.
- Neither dimmable nor non-dimmable electronic ballasts for T5 lamps on the market are able to maintain the optimal lamp temperature at different ambient temperatures.
- An advantage of measuring the temperature of the cooling point - or a temperature in the vicinity of the cooling point and heating the coil on the cooling point side, so that the measured temperature remains constant - is that this means that an optimal mercury vapor pressure is independent of the dimming of the lamp and of ambient temperature fluctuations is observed.
- the best and most reliable way to set the optimal vapor pressure is to measure the temperature of the aluminum lamp cap above the cooling point, the temperature of which determines the mercury vapor pressure in the lamp.
- the control according to the invention advantageously sets the maximum luminous efficacy at all ambient temperatures and degrees of dimming within the framework of what is physically possible for lamps.
- Fig. 1 is a block diagram of an operating device according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows a circuit diagram of an operating device which contains circuits for assemblies of the operating device according to the invention.
- the operating device comprises a line filter 1, a rectifier bridge circuit 2, an HF generator 3 (HF: radio frequency), a pulse width modulator 4, an FET power amplifier 5, an assembly 6 for safety shutdown and fuel voltage control, a low-voltage power supply 9, a filament heating control 10, a turning heating element 11, a dimming factor stabilization 8 and a temperature sensor 15.
- HF radio frequency
- FET field-effect transistor
- the operating device comprises a line filter 1, a rectifier bridge circuit 2, an HF generator 3 (HF: radio frequency), a pulse width modulator 4, an FET power amplifier 5, an assembly 6 for safety shutdown and fuel voltage control, a low-voltage power supply 9, a filament heating control 10, a turning heating element 11, a dimming factor stabilization 8 and a temperature sensor 15.
- the line filter 1 can be implemented, for example, by the double chokes 25 and 26 shown in FIG. 2 and the capacitors 27 and 28.
- a further choke 24 and a further capacitor 21 can be provided in the line filter 1.
- the rectifier bridge 2 preferably consists of four diodes 31, 32, 33 and 34. To further suppress high-frequency interference when switching the diodes on and off, capacitors 29 and 30 can be provided.
- the rectifier bridge circuit 2 contains one or more electrolytic capacitors 35 and 36 for reducing the ripple of the rectified voltage.
- the high-frequency generator 3 is implemented by the integrated circuit 43 in conjunction with resistors 50 and 52 and capacitors 51 and 42. How to construct a pulse width modulator 4 is known from the prior art.
- the FET power amplifier 5 (FET: field effect transistor) preferably consists of FETs 38 and 40. Furthermore, the resistors 39 and 41 can be provided, which protect the integrated circuit 43 against excessive currents when the FETs 38 and 40 are switched on and off.
- the FET power amplifier 5 further includes a capacitor 37 to suppress the DC voltage component and a choke 63 to supply an output voltage loaded with an impedance to the fluorescent tube. The control of the. Fluorescent tube with an impedance-loaded voltage is necessary because the fluorescent tube has a negative differential resistance, so that the current increases in the typical operating range despite falling voltage. The reason for using high frequency is that as the frequency increases, coils with lower inductance generate sufficient reactance. Consequently, the size of the inductor 63 decreases with increasing frequency.
- One electrode of the capacitor 37 is connected to both FETs, the other to a connection of the inductor 63. Between the other connection of the inductor 63 and an operating voltage of the FET power amplifier, the operating voltage 16 for the fluorescent tube can
- the assembly 6, the. Safety shutdown and the burning voltage control implemented, is implemented in the preferred embodiment by resistors 48, 58, 66, tyristor 54, capacitors 57 and 59 and diodes 53, 55, 56 and 60.
- Resistor 66 and diodes 53 and 55 ensure that the control gear is switched off if the voltage supplied by the mains is too high, which can destroy the control gear and / or the fluorescent tube.
- resistors 58, 61, 62, diodes 56, 60 and capacitors 57 and 59 monitor the burning voltage.
- the power amplifier As long as the fluorescent tube has not yet ignited, the power amplifier generates an operating voltage of approximately 800 V between the two due to the resonant circuit possibly formed by capacitors 37 and 65 and coil 63 Filaments of the fluorescent tube. After the fluorescent tube has been ignited, this voltage collapses to about 200 to 300 V by damping the resonant circuit through the fluorescent tube.
- the internal voltage control in module 6 switches off the pulse width modulator and thus also the power amplifier if the ignition voltage does not collapse to ' 200 to 300 V within 0.5 to 1 s after switching on the internal voltage, i.e. the fluorescent tube has not ignited.
- the lighting of the fluorescent tube is determined by measuring the drain current through a power transistor. When igniting, this current increases on average over time.
- a resistor is preferably connected between the negative supply voltage and the drain in transistor 40 and the voltage drop across this transistor is fed via diode 60 to the operating voltage control.
- the mains voltage controller 7 also influences the pulse width modulator.
- the mains voltage controller changes the pulse width modulation in such a way that the fluorescent tube shines equally brightly despite fluctuations in the mains voltage. This is particularly useful because the nominal mains voltage fluctuates between 220 and 240 V in individual European countries and the USA. In this way, country-specific peculiarities are compensated for by the mains voltage controller 7.
- the low-voltage power supply unit generates a DC voltage of 15 V for the dimming factor stabilization 8 and the filament heating control 10.
- a potentiometer or a photocell for dimming the fluorescent tube can be connected to the dimming factor stabilization 8 via dimming input 16.
- the dimming factor stabilization can measure a voltage or a resistance at the dimming input.
- the filament heating control 10 controls the filament heating 11 when switched on so that both filaments 13 and 14 are heated at full power for 0.3 to 0.5 s before the FET power amplifier 5 applies a burning voltage to the fluorescent tube.
- Preheating the filament is referred to as a so-called warm start.
- the warm start reduces the wear on the heating coils 13 and 14.
- the service life of a fluorescent tube without starting operations is approximately 20,000 operating hours. Frequent cold starts, i.e. starts without preheating the heating coils, reduce this to about 5,000 operating hours.
- the heating coil 13 After starting the fluorescent tube, only the heating coil 13 is heated in a preferred embodiment.
- the heating coil 14 is completely separated from the coil heating, so that the coil heating itself does not constitute a short circuit for the power amplifier 5 when the power amplifier supplies an operating voltage.
- the filament heating can be carried out by alternating current and a transformer can be provided in the filament heating which has two secondary windings, namely one for each heating filament.
- the heating power in the heating coil is controlled by the coil heating control 10 so that the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 15 remains constant.
- the output signal of the temperature sensor is fed to the filament heating control 10.
- the filament heating control system receives a control signal from the dimming factor stabilization 8. The latter signal ensures improved control during transient dimming processes. If the dimming is suddenly increased or decreased, the temperature sensor 15 reacts only with a delay to the temperature in the aluminum cap that changes with the lamp power.
- the filament heating controller can be a PID controller. P stands for proportional, D for differential and I for integral.
- the differential component for the controller is calculated from the signal obtained from the dimming factor stabilization.
- the dimming factor stabilization influences the pulse width modulator in accordance with the dimming.
- not only the heating coil 13 but also the heating coil 14 is preferably heated during operation with the same heating power.
- This embodiment keeps the temperature in the fluorescent tube and thus the mercury vapor pressure in the optimal range, particularly in the case of strong fluctuations in ambient temperature.
- the heating coil 14 is not heated even when starting. This embodiment enables the saving of components in the filament heating and an electrical connection to the heating filament 14. This embodiment is particularly advantageous if the fluorescent tube is rarely switched on and off. Such a connection of the fluorescent tube is shown in FIG. 2.
- Figure 2 shows a non-dimmable electronic ballast for fluorescent tubes. Due to the one-sided decoupling of the high-frequency circuit by HF isolating transformer 64 from the mains input, the mains is no longer loaded with HF.
- the isolating transformer 64 has two identical windings, so that a transformation ratio of 1: 1 results. These measures make it possible to dispense with the expensive coupling capacitors across the bridge rectifier, which is formed from the diodes 31-34. Only low-frequency alternating current is present at the bridge rectifier.
- a decoupling capacitor in the RF circuit can be omitted because the DC voltage component is absorbed by the resonant circuit capacitor 37.
- the reactive current component of the choke 63 is almost completely compensated for by suitable dimensioning.
- the network pollution caused by high-frequency interference is reduced, so that higher operating frequencies can be used by the integrated circuit 43 and the power amplifier formed by the transistors 38 and 40.
- a choke with low inductance and thus small size can be used.
- the radiation of high frequency is kept particularly low if the connection between transformer 64 and the unheated heating coil of fluorescent tube 20 is kept short, that is to say the operating device is mounted near this heating coil.
