Definitions
- the present invention relates to a Wegungsanord ⁇ tion for operating a fluorescent lamp having a first and a second coil, wherein the Heidelbergungsanord ⁇ tion comprises a heater for the first and the second coil. It also relates to a method for operating a fluorescent lamp having a first and a second coil on a circuit arrangement with a heater for the first and the second coil.
- a permanent filament heating to prevent such deposits is undesirable because of the attendant ⁇ previous period losses ren to a significant deterioration in the efficiency of the fluorescent lamp leadership, as well as due to the heating of the cold spot for the HG-vapor pressure setting. Heating the filaments to ignite the fluorescent lamp is very short, ie this heating process is less than 0.5 s and is predominantly inhomogeneous. As a result, deposits can neither be removed nor their formation prevented.
- the object of the present invention is to further develop a circuit arrangement mentioned at the outset and an initially mentioned method such that an extension of the service life of fluorescent lamps is made possible.
- the present invention is based on the finding that the above-mentioned object can be achieved optimally when the coils are heated at periodic intervals, in order to avoid deposits and the resulting life-shortening effects.
- the periodicity can be fixed to different operating parameters of the fluorescent lamp, as will be described in detail below. As a result, very long life of fluorescent lamps can be achieved, and this with a hardly relevant deterioration of the efficiency.
- a circuit arrangement therefore further comprises a device for storing at least one threshold value for at least one operating parameter of the fluorescent lamp, a device for determining the value of the at least one operating parameter and a Control device which is adapted to activate the at least one threshold value is exceeded for the at least ei ⁇ NEN operating parameter by the determined value of the at least one operating parameter of the heating for the ERS te and the second filament for a predeterminable period of time.
- the at least one operating parameter can be, for example, the operating time of the fluorescent lamp.
- the ratio of operating time to heating duration is 100 to 1.
- the at least one operating parameter may further be the number of on / off switching operations of the fluorescent lamp. In preferred embodiments, this number is between 1 and 10.
- the at least one operating parameter can also be the number of dimming changes of the fluorescent lamp. Again, in preferred embodiments, the number is between 1 and 10.
- the predeterminable period is preferably at least 2 seconds, in particular 1 minute.
- the control device has an interface, which is designed to receive on and off signals for the fluorescent lamp, wherein the control device is designed, the Heating to activate the first and second coil when the first one operating parameter has been exceeded for at least a threshold value of the Minim least ⁇ and secondly a switch-off was collected EMP via the interface.
- the control device is further configured to enable the fluorescent lamp during the predetermined period of time in egg ⁇ NEN predeterminable state.
- This predetermined condition may correspond in particular to the light disabling ⁇ fluorescent lamp or a predetermined dimming level, in which case the minimum dimming level is preferred.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of an inventive Heidelbergungsanord ⁇ tion. It includes a control line 10, are transmitted over the game, in ⁇ on and turn-off and / or Dimmsigna- Ie for a fluorescent lamp 12th These are supplied to an interface 14 of a control device 16, where they are converted into drive signals for the operation of the fluorescent lamp 12. However, they are also supplied to a device 20 for determining at least one value of an operating parameter, wherein the pre ⁇ direction may be coupled to a timer 18 20 to detect the operating hours of the fluorescent lamp 12th Additionally or alternatively, the device 20 may be designed to determine an operating parameter to count the number of on / off switching operations and / or the number of dimming changes, in particular relevant dimming changes.
- the device 20 for determining at least one of Be ⁇ operating parameters results in the value of the at least one operating parameter of the control device 16 to.
- At least one threshold value of at least one corresponding operating parameter of the fluorescent lamp 12 is stored in a memory device 22.
- the controller 16 now checks whether at least one, exceeds the processing of the Vorrich- 20 for determining the value of at least one of Be ⁇ operating parameters to the control device 16 transmitted values the corresponding threshold value, which is stored in the storage device 22nd If this is the case, the control device 16 activates after receiving the next switch-off signal at the interface.
- the fluorescent lamp 12 may already be in the off state or in the state of a predefinable dimming position, for example in the minimum dimming position.
- the spiral heating 24 is activated over a predefinable period of time, the control device 16 comprising a timer 26 for this purpose.
- a circuit arrangement according to the invention can be implemented, for example, in an electronic ballast in which, after a predeterminable number of minutes of operation and / or after a predefinable number of on / off switching operations and / or dimming changes, the filament heater 24 is activated over the specifiable period of time.
- a circuit arrangement according to the invention can lix also FGD be in a control device for dimming devices, in which case the phosphor ⁇ lamp 12 is operated over a predetermined period of time prior to the actual shutdown at a predetermined dimming level, in particular at a minimum dimming setting, upon receipt of a Abschaltginses.
- Dimm grill a threshold may be provided to hold only a significant ⁇ Dimm grill as an event to it, which acts in a counting operation of the device 20 loading.
- a significant dimming change can be defined for example by a dimming change by more than 30% of the total possible dimming range.
