Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a new igniter for igniting sodium vapor lamps, metal halide lamps and the like, which igniter has been designed and structured to considerably aid in the wiring among all the possible elements intervening in the ignition, feed, regulation and control of a sodium vapor lamp, metal halide lamp and the like, said igniter integrating a printed circuit with the majority of the necessary wiring.
  • Said wiring is a complex, cumbersome, expensive and relatively reliable task, in the case in which it is carried out by the luminary manufacturer or by the installer, which increases said drawbacks.
  • the igniter proposed by the invention fully and satisfactorily solves the aforementioned drawback.
  • the invention consists of housing the igniter components in the cavity of a casing, of a plastic material or not, which incorporates, in the igniter's printed circuit, the necessary interconnections (tracks) replacing the majority of the wiring (connection) interconnecting all the elements necessary for igniting, feeding, regulating and controlling a sodium vapor lamp, a metal halide lamp and the like, at practically no cost and significantly simplifying the luminary manufacturing or installation works.
  • the igniter incorporates at least two connectors, projecting from it through an insulating wall of resin mass or the like, which act as electric connection means between the igniter and, normally, the ballast.
  • connection strip normally provided with seven connectors is arranged on the upper part of the casing, in which strip a pair of lamp connectors, a pair of capacitor connectors, a pair of network connectors and an earthing terminal are normally arranged.
  • the igniter of the invention incorporates at least two connectors projecting from it through an insulating wall of a resin mass or the like, but which can be more, according to the features and the number of elements to be interconnected, that possible expansion being enabled, during the manufacturing process, because that side is closed and insulated with resin, which permits that the remaining igniter elements, such as the casing, can remain the same.
  • those possible connectors can be placed on that side in the position considered the most suitable, as there are no restrictions by any rigid element, like the casing.
  • the aforementioned resin mass, or other electro-insulating material is intended for closing and insulating the igniter elements assembly, with regard to the outside, as well as the printed circuit incorporating the elements' connection, from heat, electricity, dust, etc.
  • these additional connectors will normally be coupled in the area of the insulating wall with resin mass or the like, however, for various reasons, such as in some assembly types, it may be convenient to place them on the upper part of the casing, after the seven aforementioned connectors, in this case being necessary to modify the elements such as the casing.
  • the igniter proposed by the invention is provided with a casing (1), housing in its cavity the conventional elements of an igniter, whose printed circuit (not shown) incorporates the necessary connections (tracks) replacing the majority of the wiring (connection) interconnecting the elements to be used, according to the case, for igniting, feeding, regulating and controlling a sodium vapor lamp, a metal halide lamp and the like; arranging the suitable connections on said printed circuit so that a plurality of outer connectors allow for a simple, quick, reliable and economical connection of the remaining elements that are to intervene, namely the ballast, the lamp, the network, earth and, optionally, the capacitor or capacitors, one or more timers, etc.
  • the rear side of the casing (1) has at least a pair of connectors (2), suitably coupled and connected to said printed circuit, which emerge from the resin mass (3) or other electro-insulating material, and which will normally be connected to a ballast.
  • the casing (1) housing the igniter in its cavity must have a rear wall initially open and subsequently sealed by means of a resin mass (3) or other electro-insulating material, in order to suitably protect the igniter elements assembly as well as the printed circuit incorporating the elements' connection, from heat, electricity, dust, etc.
  • the connectors (2) and other connectors which can exist on this same side are complemented with a battery normally having seven connectors (4), also arranged on the casing (1) and suitably coupled and connected to the printed circuit, from which connectors, normally two of them, those corresponding to the reference (4) itself, are intended for connecting the sodium vapor lamp, metal halide lamp or the like, the next two connectors (4') are intended for connecting the capacitor, and from the remaining connectors (4''), two connectors for connecting the power feed and one to earth, this battery being able to incorporate a larger number of connectors (4), as needed.
  • the igniter can be placed at any point of the luminary, thus being possible to distance it from other elements that may generate negative influences on it, or vice versa, requiring a minimum space for its assembly.
  • the igniter of the invention will have three connectors on the side with the resin mass (3) or other electro-insulating material, these connectors normally being intended for connecting a complementary device.
  • the igniter of the invention will have nine connectors arranged on the casing (1), seven of them being normally intended for the connections of the aforementioned elements and the remaining two connectors for connecting an optional element, such as a second capacitor, a timer, etc.
