Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for monitoring at least one fluorescent lamp and a corresponding lamp with such a monitoring device.
  • Corresponding fluorescent lamps are used, for example, as explosion-proof linear luminaires in potentially explosive areas. It has been found in operation of luminaires with fluorescent lamps that local overheating of the lamp cap and / or the lamp socket can occur. This is commonly referred to as the "end-of-life" phenomenon where the unacceptable increase in temperature results in a coil being consumed as an electrode and more and more energy needed to maintain the flow of electrodes to operate the fluorescent lamp.
  • An explosion-proof discharge lamp is known from patent specification EP 326,079 (ABB CEAG).
  • Patent US 6,888,324 discloses a Leuchtstafflampe with temperature measurement the lamp filament.
  • the invention is based on the object, with a corresponding fluorescent lamp to avoid such a strong increase in temperature, especially in the hazardous area while maintaining the appropriate explosion protection.
  • Claim 1 relates to a corresponding method, which is characterized by a particular electronic interruption of the power supply to the coil via the ballast, wherein the interruption takes place when a detected temperature in the range of at least one filament of the fluorescent lamp exceeds a predetermined, critical temperature.
  • the critical temperature can correspond to a predetermined limit, which is specified by the explosion protection for surface temperatures of parts of the fluorescent lamp.
  • the corresponding object is achieved in that at least one coil is associated with a temperature measuring device and further an interruption device is present, through which the power supply via the ballast upon reaching the predetermined critical temperature can be interrupted. Preferably, all filaments are monitored.
  • Such a corresponding device may be arranged in a lamp having at least one fluorescent lamp according to claim 21.
  • an impermissible temperature increase of the corresponding luminaire is reliably prevented in this way and the luminaire can be used in particular in potentially explosive areas.
  • the filaments of a fluorescent lamp heat differently. It may be advantageous if the temperature is detected in the region of each coil of the corresponding fluorescent lamp. As soon as one of the corresponding temperatures exceeds the predetermined, critical temperature, an interruption of the energy supply takes place.
  • a safety device is, for example, a temperature fuse which irreversibly interrupts the current flow when the critical temperature is exceeded. Only after replacing both the safety device as well as possibly the fluorescent lamp can be made a re-commissioning.
  • an electronic switching device as an interrupting device.
  • a switching device is for example a temperature switch which switches off a corresponding output of the ballast for supplying energy to the fluorescent lamp when the critical temperature is reached. This shutdown can also be reversible.
  • Such a switching device emits a signal to an interruption device, which is assigned to the ballast.
  • an interruption device may also contain the switching device and additionally a comparison device which, for example, compares the temperature determined by a temperature sensor as a temperature measuring device with the predetermined critical temperature and activates the switching device for interruption only when the critical temperature is reached or exceeded.
  • At least the comparison device is contained in the temperature measuring device and activates the interruption device from there by transmitting corresponding signals.
  • the surface temperature of the respective fluorescent lamps must be monitored for the critical temperature, it may be considered sufficient to determine the temperature from outside the lamp tube of the fluorescent lamp. As a result, no design changes of the actual fluorescent lamp are required. However, it is also possible to integrate a corresponding temperature measuring device in the fluorescent lamp.
  • a temperature measuring device Other possibilities for realizing such a temperature measuring device are a temperature sensor or an infrared sensor (IR sensor).
  • IR sensor infrared sensor
  • the switching device to switch to a closed position to start the ballast. That is, the ballast is restarted after a power failure.
  • the specified, critical temperature is specified by corresponding standards for explosion-proof luminaires.
  • the predetermined, critical temperature is determined taking into account lamp parameters, such as arrangement and / or structure of the coil, distance of the filament from the lamp tube, wall thickness of the lamp tube, etc.
  • lamp parameters such as arrangement and / or structure of the coil, distance of the filament from the lamp tube, wall thickness of the lamp tube, etc.
  • changes in the fluorescent lamp design are taken into account new, undefined states can occur, which can lead to an inadmissible warming.
  • the behavior of a corresponding fluorescent lamp can be highly dependent on ambient conditions, so that the corresponding critical temperature can also be determined in each case for a luminaire at a corresponding installation location.
  • the ballast is an electronic ballast, and its "intelligence" can be used to implement comparison and / or interruption devices in the ballast and by itself.
  • the invention also relates to a luminaire with a corresponding monitoring device of the type described above.
  • Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a monitoring device according to the invention for monitoring at least one fluorescent lamp shown in principle.
  • the monitoring device 1 is part of a lamp 20 with two fluorescent lamps 2 and 3. Each of the fluorescent lamps has at their ends 12, 13 as electrodes 14 each helix 4, 5, and 6, 7 on.
  • each fluorescent lamp 2, 3 are connected to an associated ballast (VG) 8a, b, and in particular electronic ballast (ECG) 8a, b.
  • VG ballast
  • ECG electronic ballast
  • a fluorescent lamp in particular in the region of its electrodes or filament, can be subject to an impermissible temperature increase. This occurs, for example, when the material of the helix is consumed and more and more energy from the electronic ballast for maintaining maintenance of the flow of electrons within the fluorescent lamp is needed.
  • Such an increase in temperature can lead to a local overheating of the turn and thus to an inadmissible increase in temperature of the lamp cap, the lamp holder or even the corresponding lamp tube 11.
  • the overheating then leads to the above error case, which is referred to as the so-called "end-of-life" phenomenon. This phenomenon occurs in exceptional cases at the end of life of the lamp.
  • the corresponding increase in temperature can lead to the ignition of corresponding explosive substances, in particular in the hazardous area.
  • the temperature is measured in the vicinity of at least one and preferably both helices 4, 5 and 6, 7 of each fluorescent lamp 2, 3 in the vicinity of the helix.
  • a corresponding temperature measuring device 15 is used.
  • each of the coils 4, 5, 6, 7 is assigned a different temperature measuring device 15.
  • the same temperature measuring devices all coils 4 to 7 may be assigned.
  • the temperature measuring device 15, which is associated with the coil 4, is a temperature fuse or safety device 9.
  • a temperature fuse in the explosion-proof area (Ex area) is not allowed for direct switching of a load, otherwise it could lead to sparking , Therefore, the current through the fuse is intrinsically safe, and depending on this current, an electronic breaker 19 is caused to turn off the electronic ballast 8.
  • an amplifying device 25 between the securing device 9 and associated interruption device 19 or switching device 10 may be arranged.
  • the temperature measuring device 15 assigned to the coil 5 is an infrared IR sensor 18. Its signals are fed to the interrupt device 19 via an amplification device 25. This can simultaneously contain a comparison device 16 which compares the temperature determined by the IR sensor 18 with a predetermined, critical temperature. If it is determined by the comparison device 16 that the critical temperature is reached or exceeded, the switching device 10 contained in the interruption device 19 can interrupt the energy output by stopping the activation of the switching transistor 23 in the output of the corresponding electronic ballast 8a. The interruption takes place only for the electronic ballast 8a, b, which supplies the corresponding fluorescent lamp 2, 3 with unacceptably elevated temperature with voltage.
  • the coil 7 is assigned as a further embodiment of a temperature measuring device 15, a temperature switch as a switching device. This causes a shutdown of the corresponding ECG or a power interruption via interrupting device 19. There is also the possibility that the temperature switch is connected to a comparator 16 or interrupt device 19, which also initiates an interruption of the power output of the electronic ballast only with appropriate switching of the temperature switch.
  • a temperature sensor 17 is arranged as a temperature measuring device 15. This transmits its measured value to interrupt device 19, the again according to a comparison device 16 and a switching device 10, and optionally interrupts the power supply of a lamp.
  • the corresponding temperature fuse 9 an irreversible interruption occurs. This can only be reversed if the temperature fuse 9 and possibly also the fluorescent lamp has been replaced.
  • the switching device 10 stops the ECG. Only after a power failure can the ECG be restarted.
  • the inventive temperature detection and corresponding shutdown of the electronic ballast results in an advantage according to the invention that can be addressed when detecting the temperature on the specific needs in potentially explosive atmospheres.
  • undefined states can occur, leading to an inadmissible heating.
  • Such states can be considered according to the invention, for example, the arrangement or the structure of the coil, distance of the coil to the lamp tube, wall thickness of the lamp tube or the like relate.
  • the corresponding determination of the critical temperature continues to take into account the corresponding ambient conditions of the respective fluorescent lamp, if these have an influence on the ambient temperature or the heating of the fluorescent lamp, whereby the position of use of the lamp is to be considered.
