Definitions

  • the invention relates to an operating device for lamps with different operating parameters, in particular electronic ballast for gas discharge lamps, and a method for configuring such a control gear.
  • ballasts have been developed so that different types of lamps can be operated, the ballasts recognize the respective lamp type itself.
  • the detection of the lamp type is performed by measuring the filament current flowing through the lamp filament.
  • the current depends on the filament resistance and the filament voltage applied to the filament.
  • the filament current is indicative of the filament resistance.
  • the document WO 2007/052219 A2 shows a configurable ballast for lamps. It is set by receiving data from the lamp on the operating parameters of the lamp.
  • the document WO 2005/043955 A2 also shows a configurable ballast for lamps.
  • the configuration is done manually by actuating an input device of the ballast.
  • the invention is based on the following finding:
  • the electronic ballast starts its control unit internally after the grid is turned on. This checks the signals of the two voltage detection devices, which are each coupled to the power connections. Since there are several possibilities of feeding through the at least 2 available and selectable power connections, thus several configurations of the electronic ballast can be specified.
  • control device can recognize the configuration selected by the user and set the internal operating parameters.
  • a refinement of the ballast may consist in providing means for setting at least one operating parameter for the determined lamp type.
  • the measuring means may comprise a voltage divider connected to the mains connection, from which a signal corresponding to the mains voltage is derived.
  • Fig. 1 shows the pin assignment for an electronic ballast according to the invention.
  • the pin assignment of an electronic ballast shown here uses the method described for a high-pressure discharge lamp control gear. Since these lamps are not pre-heated and no measurement of the electrode resistance before ignition and thus before the start of the lamp is possible, the described method is very advantageous in these lamps to provide a way to provide the user with an electronic ballast for different lamps, which easily and quickly recognize the connected lamp or desired power.
  • the ballast is provided with two connection configurations, namely the options "Mains power 1" and "Mains power 2".
  • the multi-lamp ballast sets itself with respect to the operating parameters on the lamp type with the power 1 or the power 2.
  • Fig. 2 shows a gas discharge lamp L, which is connected to an electronic ballast V formed according to the invention.
  • the ballast V includes a connected to the AC mains bridge rectifier 1, which rectifies the mains voltage, and a DC voltage intermediate circuit 2 supplies.
  • the intermediate circuit 2 is a half-bridge inverter 3 connected downstream, containing two alternately clocked switch.
  • the inverter 3 is followed by a pure resonant circuit, which consists of a choke and a capacitor.
  • the lamp is connected in parallel with the capacitor.
  • the circuit parts 1 to 4 are common and known in ballasts.
  • the ballast should now be designed so that with him fluorescent lamps L of different types can be operated.
  • the individual types differ not only by external dimensions, but also by different operating parameters, such as lamp current, lamp voltage, filament voltage, filament current, ignition voltage, preheating time, etc.
  • the connection configuration determined by the voltage detectors 9 is supplied to comparison means 12 which compare it with the values stored in a table stored in memory means 11.
  • the table contains for each with the Ballast to be operated lamp type an associated port configuration. This is compared with the determined connection configuration.
  • the comparison means 12 then report the determined lamp type to the operating parameter setting means 5.
  • Last then take the relevant settings on the ballast V before. Representative of this is in the Fig. 2 taken into account by the connection between the operating parameter setting means 5 and the inverter 3 and the helical-current regulator 8.
  • the helical-current regulator 8 controls the helical-current generating means 6, which in turn supply the helical current to the helices W1 and W2 of the lamp L.
  • Fig. 3 is a concrete realization of the voltage detector.
  • the electronic ballast has 2 different, differently marked connections (L1, L2) for the phase connection of the mains supply V mains .
  • the two terminals are each connected via a voltage detector (V_L1 and V_L2), which forwards information to the control unit of the electronic ballast via the selected mains connection and connected via an internal mains filter and a rectifier, which serves to decouple the two inputs.
  • the connection for the neutral conductor N can be simple and internally supplied to both input stages. If one of the two connections is now selected as the mains connection, the electronic ballast starts its control unit internally after switching on the network. This checks the signals of the two voltage detectors, which are each coupled to the power connections. Since there are several possibilities of feeding through the at least 2 existing and selectable mains connections, several configurations can therefore also be predefined for the electronic ballast (eg also the simultaneous use of both connections, described below as a bit combination). Depending on the signaling of the voltage detectors, the control device can recognize the configuration selected by the user and set the internal operating parameters.
  • the configuration via switched mains inputs can also be switched during operation, e.g. with a relay to transmit the electronic ballast further operating parameters or control values. For example, by switching a network access, an energy-saving function with a reduced light level can be achieved
  • the user When selecting the lamp terminal, the user has several options for connecting a lamp ready, where he can transmit the electronic ballast on the pin assignment information about the connected lamp.
  • the electronic ballast then performs a test measurement in a start phase before the actual lamp start via a connected to the terminals detector unit, which determines the occupied connections.
  • only a single network connection can be present, at which information about the selected lamp type is transmitted via a selective connection and disconnection of the network.
  • This signal at the mains connection is detected by the detector.
  • an energy store it may be necessary for an energy store to be present in the electronic ballast, which can maintain the supply and further operation of the control unit, the detector unit or the electronic ballast or parts thereof during the phases without mains supply.
  • This signaling can be realized via a switching sequence, it can also be done via a relay such signaling.
  • the signaling via a selective connection and disconnection of the network can take place both via the network input directly and via a further network input with a detector unit.
  • Such an electronic ballast is thus not bound to a specific type of gas discharge lamp.
  • Particularly advantageous is the described method for a control gear for high pressure discharge lamps.
