Abstract

Um die bei Zündschaltungsanordnungen häufig auftretende Geräuschentwicklung beim Betrieb einer zugeordneten Entladungslampe zumindest zu vermindern, wird eine Zündschaltungsanordnung vorgeschlagen für eine Entladungslampe, der eine Versorgungsschaltung zur Bereitstellung einer Wechselstrom-Versorgungsspannung an die Lampe zugeordnet ist. Die erfindungsgemäße Zündschaltungsanordnung (1) umfasst einen Zündübertrager (20), der primärseitig mit einer Auslöseschaltung (30, 22, 50, 40) und sekundärseitig zur Übertragung eines Zündimpulses mit der Lampe verbunden ist; eine Eingangsenergiequelle (30) für die Zündauslöseschaltung; ein erstes Schaltermittel (40) in der Auslöseschaltung, wobei ein Reihenschaltkreis bestehend zumindest aus der Eingangsenergiequelle (30) für die Zündauslöseschaltung, einer sekundärseitigen Spule (21) des Zündübertragers und der Lampe (10) gebildet ist. Die erfindungsgemäße Zündschaltungsanordnung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass der Reihenschaltkreis (30, 100, 60, 80, 10, 21) ein zweites Schaltermittel (100) aufweist, welches den Reihenschaltkreis während des Brennbetriebs der Lampe zyklisch unterbricht und schließt (Fig. 1).

Figure imgaf001
In order to at least reduce the noise occurring during ignition circuit arrangements in the operation of an associated discharge lamp, an ignition circuit is proposed for a discharge lamp, which is associated with a supply circuit for providing an AC supply voltage to the lamp. The ignition circuit arrangement (1) according to the invention comprises an ignition transformer (20) which is connected on the primary side to a trigger circuit (30, 22, 50, 40) and on the secondary side for transmitting an ignition pulse to the lamp; an input power source (30) for the ignition trigger circuit; a first switching means (40) in the tripping circuit, wherein a series circuit is formed at least of the input power source (30) for the Zündauslöseschaltung, a secondary-side coil (21) of the Zündübertragers and the lamp (10). The ignition circuit arrangement according to the invention is characterized in that the series circuit (30, 100, 60, 80, 10, 21) has a second switching means (100) which cyclically interrupts and closes the series circuit during the burning operation of the lamp (FIG. 1).
