Definitions
- the invention relates to an electronic ballast for a lamp.
- the electronic ballast is intended to allow the lamp to be dimmed due to an external control. For this purpose, it must have a dimming value control input and be provided with means for setting a dimming value of the lamp (for the supply of the same with voltage or current).
- the electronic ballast according to another aspect of the invention ellg also be able to detect a lamp failure and communicate to the outside. For this purpose, it must include means for detecting a lamp fault (ie detecting whether the lamp is faulty or not) and a lamp fault detection input.
- a lamp fault ie detecting whether the lamp is faulty or not
- one and the same electronic ballast combines the mentioned characteristics of lamp dimming capability and lamp fault detection both.
- the dimming value is adjusted via a unidirectional dimming interface, for example a 1... 10 V interface.
- the dimming value is determined by the magnitude of a voltage applied between two dimming value control inputs of the interface or the magnitude of a current flowing across the interface.
- DALI devices where DALI stands for "Digital Addressable Lighting Interface”
- a dimming value control input must be given a binary number for controlling the dimming value, for example, a "0" for an off lamp and the numbers 1 to 254 dimming values, which determine the brightness of the lamp.
- a suitable control device must be provided specifically for a respective electronic ballast, which makes the settings of the voltage or the current or outputs digital control signals.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an electronic ballast for a lamp, the use of which does not require the provision of a complex control unit.
- the object is achieved in one aspect of the invention by an electronic ballast with the features of claim 1.
- the object is achieved by an electronic switching device solved with the features according to claim 2.
- Particularly advantageous embodiments of the electronic ballast according to claim 2 can be found in the claims 3 and 4.
- Particularly advantageous is the connection of both aspects of the invention in one and the same electronic ballast according to claim 5 or 6.
- the electronic ballast according to claim 1 comprises, at a location downstream of the dimming value control input, means for detecting a signal output state in which the signal level of a signal supplied to the dimming value control input exceeds a (first) predetermined threshold and / or in which it has a (second) predetermined threshold falls below, and it includes the further means for measuring the duration of each detected signal output state.
- the means for setting a dimming value of the lamp are then designed according to the invention to set the dimming value on the basis of the measured duration of the signal output state.
- the lamp error detection input according to the invention is designed to serve for the passage of electrical current. Further, means for setting a transmission condition coupled with the means for detecting the lamp failure are provided depending on whether or not the lamp failure has been detected.
- An electronic ballast according to this aspect of the invention thus does not operate with digital signals, by means of which a control device is notified of the detection of a lamp fault. Rather, only a corresponding voltage (for example, between lamp fault detection input and ground) must be applied.
- the means for setting a transmission condition then release the conduction, or not, depending on the occurrence of a lamp failure. If a large number of such electronic ballasts are connected in parallel to a voltage source, a central control unit can measure the flowing electric current and determine, based on the current intensity, how many of the electronic ballasts make it possible to pass through and how many. This can be used to determine how many electronic ballasts have detected a lamp failure.
- the notification of detection of a lamp failure is made by passing electric current
- the electronic ballast according to the first aspect with the single dimming value control input and the electronic ballast according to the second aspect of the invention with the single lamp error detection input is thus common that the provision of a small number of inputs is made possible. Furthermore, both aspects have in common that the control units required in each case can be of simple design.
- dimming value control input and lamp error detection input are two different inputs.
- This embodiment has the advantage of its simplicity. Compared to the prior art, however, the total number of inputs is still limited, because with each aspect (dimming value control input on the one hand and lamp error detection input on the other hand) with only one input must be worked.
- Dimming value control input and lamp error detection input are exactly the same input. Naturally then one must Be taken as the functionalities can be separated from each other. This is done by coupling together the means for detecting a signal output state and the means for setting a transmission condition. Beyond previous, in the patent claims 3 and 4, situations of the suppression of the passage of current beyond is then provided that the means for adjusting the passage of current regardless of the occurrence of a lamp failure as long as prohibit how the signal output state is detected.
- FIG. 1 shows an electronic ballast according to a first aspect of the invention with inputs, outputs and schematically indicated internal structure
- FIG. 3 is an electronic ballast according to a second aspect of the invention with inputs, outputs and schematically indicated internal structure, and
- Fig. 4 shows the interconnection of operating devices according to the second aspect of the invention.
- An electronic ballast 20 also referred to as an operating device shown in FIG. 1, has two inputs for the voltage supply, which are designated 1 and 2, and a ground connection, which is denoted by 4. Outputs 21, 22, 26 and 27 lead to the light source, for example to a lamp to be driven by the electronic ballast.
- the electronic ballast makes it possible to not only turn the light only on or off, but also to dim, so operate with less than maximum light value. The way in which the electronic ballast is now informed how much the light source is to be dimmed is now a special feature of the electronic ballast according to the invention.
- the electronic ballast comprises a single dimming input, which in the present case is denoted by 6 and is denoted by the letters "DIM" for explanation purposes
- the light value presetting now takes place in that a specific level is present at the input 6 for a predetermined duration
- a unit 10 in the electronic ballast detects whether or not there is a so-called signal output state, ie whether the level at the input 6 has exceeded a predetermined limit value or not, and a measuring unit 12 detects how long the signal output state exists
- the unit 14 detects the value measured by the unit 12 regarding the duration of the signal output state and interprets it when Dimming value. Accordingly, the light source is controlled by this unit 14.
- a unit 18 is coupled to the unit 16.
- the unit 18 controls a connection between an input 7 and one of the terminals 1 and 2, preferably that which is connected to the neutral.
- the input 7 serves to communicate a light-emitting error to an external control unit and is therefore also marked with "LF" for illuminant errors (or even lamp faults) It is now envisaged that this current will flow precisely when a lighting failure has occurred, and does not flow at the precise moment when the light source is intact.
- the unit 18 connected between input 7 and input 1 or 2 is for adjustment a pass condition depending on whether the unit 16 has detected a bulb failure or not.
- FIG. 2 illustrates how a plurality of operating devices 20 may be connected in an arrangement in the manner of the operating device shown in FIG. 1.
- Each operating device 20 is associated with a lamp 22 as a light source. It is a control unit 24 provided for all operating devices.
- the operating devices are alternately connected to the different phase conductors L1, L2 and L3, so that one of the phases is not loaded too much.
- the control unit 24 is connected by way of example to the phase conductor L1, in addition to the connection to the neutral conductor N and the earth PE.
- Additional lines DIM are provided for setting the light value and LF for detecting the illuminant error.
- controls 26 are coupled.
- the control unit 24 is optionally also coupled to an upstream building management control 28.
- the dimming input DIM input 6 of FIG. 1
- the operating elements 26 may, for example, comprise conventional buttons as known for the dimming value specification , and which the operator must press for a predetermined period of time.
- the operating devices (electronic ballast) 20 can be designed so that the respective units 14 are already active as long as the level is detected, so that the operator almost directly by pressing a button 26, the dimming of the light bulb 22 on one of the operating devices 20th cause.
- the control unit is also connected to a separate conductor LF for detecting the illuminant error. Through this conductor electricity should be able to flow.
- the individual operating devices 20 allow, as explained above, the passage of current through the input 7 (LF) in the event that a bulb error has occurred.
- the control unit 24 should now be designed to measure how high the current flowing through line LF is.
- Each of the operating devices 20, which has a lighting failure draws a predetermined amount of current. From the total current strength, it is therefore possible to deduce the number of operating devices which have detected a lighting failure.
- FIG. 3 There is also a modified form of the operating device 20, which is shown in FIG. 3 and designated there by 20 '.
- a single input in the present case the input 7, serves both for setting the light value and for detecting the illuminant error.
- This input is accordingly labeled "DIM + LF”.
- the electronic ballast 20 is basically the same inside as explained above for the operating device 20 of FIG. 1, d. H.
- Both the units 10, 12 and 14 are now downstream of the input of the DIM + LF, as well as the unit 18 coupled to the unit 16.
- FIG. 2 An arrangement of a plurality of such operating devices 20 'is shown in FIG. Since the inputs DIM + LF of the operating device 20 in the operating device 20 'for If there are only one single line DIM + LF connected to these inputs, the control unit 24 is also changed to the control unit 24 ', which only has a single output DIM + LF for Head DIM + LF has. Incidentally, the operating devices 20 'are connected in the same way to the conductors as the operating devices 20 from FIG. 2.
- the invention provides, on the one hand, an easy way to specify the dimming value, namely simple pushbuttons 26, the unit 10 only having to differentiate between two states, namely the signal delivery state and the non-signal delivery state, then the unit 12 the duration of the existence of the signal delivery state measure, in which case the dimming value for the unit 14 is specified.
- the detection of the illuminant error is no longer via digital signals as in the prior art, but via a flowing stream, the control units 24 and 24 'can easily measure. It only has to be ensured that a unit 18 determines the passage condition for the current as a function of a light source error determined by the unit 16.
