Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、安価で小形な放電灯点灯装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
バラストチョークと共振用コンデンサとのLC共振によりランプを点灯させるための始動電圧を得る複合型インバータでは、そのときの始動周波数が一定とすると、ランプを点灯させるための始動電圧が入力電圧により変動する。このため、入力電圧が定格電圧に対して低い場合には始動電圧が低下するので、定格入力電圧時の始動電圧は高める口設定する必要がある。また、入力電圧が高い場合には始動電圧が定格入力電圧時に比べてさらに高くなる。よって、使用部品は始動電圧が最大となる入力電圧最大時を考慮して必要以上に定格の大きい部品選定をせざるを得ず、価格、形状などの面から不利であった。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来技術は、入力電圧が低電圧時においてランプを点灯させるために必要な始動電圧を確保すると定格入力電圧時の始動電圧はその電圧よりも高い始動電圧となり、入力電圧が高電圧時においては始動電圧がさらに高くなるので、最低限必要な始動電圧でランプを点灯させるときに対して十分余裕のある部品を選定せざるを得ず部品の価格、形状などの面から不利であった。
本発明は、ランプを点灯させるための始動電圧が入力電圧に左右されなにくい回路を構成し、より安価で小形な部品を使用する事が出来るよ引こ考案したものである。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するためるこ、始動周波数設定用抵抗器と並列に入力電圧により抵抗値が可変する調整回路を設け、低入力電圧時には始動周波数設定用抵抗と調整回路との合成抵抗値を上げ周波数を低下させることによりランプの始動電圧を高め、高入力電圧時には低入力電圧時と逆に合成抵抗値を下げて周波数を上昇させることによりランプの始動電圧を低下させる。これらにより、入力電圧の変化によるランプの始動電圧の変動を低減するものである。
【0005】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施形態を図1により説明する。これは複合型インバータ回路による放電灯点灯装置である。図中の10は交流電源11電圧を整流する整流回路であり、20は平滑用コンデンサであり、30はハーフブリッジ形インバータ回路部で31、32はスイッチングトランジスタであり、41、42はそれぞれスイッチングトランジスタ31、32と並列に接続するフライホイールダイオードであり、80はスイッチングトランジスタ31、32をスイッチング制御する制御回路であり、81はランプを点灯させるときの始動周波数を設定する始動周波数設定用抵抗であり、82はランプが安定点灯しているときの点灯周波数を設定する点灯周波数設定用抵抗であり、70は前記始動周波数設定用抵抗81と前記点灯周波数設定用抵抗82とに接続し、前記制御回路80の発振周波数をランプ始動時とランプ安定点灯時とで切り替える周波数設定回路であり、スイッチングトランジスタ32と並列にそれぞれ直列に接続されたバラストチョーク51、蛍光ランプ52、電源用コンデンサ62を備え、53は蛍光ランプ52と並列に接続される共振用コンデンサであり、61は整流回路10と電源用コンデンサ62とを並列に接続する補助コンデンサであり、71は電源用コンデンサ62と補助コンデンサ61の両端を平滑用コンデンサ20にき並列に接続するダイオードである。90は入力電圧を検出する検出回路であり、91は整流用ダイオード、92、93は分圧用抵抗器、94は平滑用コンデンサ、100は始動周波数設定用抵抗器81と並列に接続し検出回路90による検出電圧により抵抗値が可変する調整回路であり、10軒ま検出電圧により動作するトランジスタであり、102はトランジスタ101のベース電流を制限するベース抵抗であり、103はトランジスタ101と直列に接続し、周波数設定用抵抗器と並列に接続する調整用抵抗器である。
【0006】
この回路において、ランプを点灯させるためにランプ両端に発生する始動電圧は主として直流電圧VCとバラストチョーク51のインダクタンス、共振用コンデンサ53の容量、発振周波数団こより決定されが、このインダクタンス、コンデンサ容量が一定である場合、直流電圧VCと始動発振周波数Fに決定される。この直流電圧VCは入力電圧に比例して変化するため、始動発振周波数が一定である場合、ランプ両端に発生する始動電圧は入力電圧が高いときには高い始動電圧となり、低いときには低い始動電圧となるよって、この変化分を発振周波数により補正する。
【0007】
ここで、その発振周波数を補正する検出回路90と調整回路100の動作を説明する。交流電源11を整流用ダイオード91Gこより整流し分圧用抵抗器92、93により分圧し平滑用コンデンサ94により平滑した電圧がベース抵抗102とトランジスタ101のベース−エミッタ間に印可され、ベース抵抗器10劉こより制限されたベース電流がトランジスタ1014こ流れる。ただし、このときのベース電流はベース抵抗器102により制限されておりトランジスタは不飽和領域でオンしている。よって、始動周波数設定用抵抗器81と並列に直列接続されるトランジスタ101と調整用抵抗器LO3はベース電流の大きさとトランジスタ101のHFEにより設定される可変抵抗器として機能するため、入力電圧が高いときには抵抗値が大きくなり始動周波数は低下し、入力電圧が低いときには抵抗値が小さくなり始動周波数は上昇する。また、このランプが点灯するときには周波数設定回路70により制御回路80は始動周波数設定用抵抗81で設定される周波数で動作するようスイッチング素子31・32を制御する。やがて、ランプが点灯すると周波数設定回路70は始動周波数設定用抵抗81から点灯周波数設定用抵抗82に切り替え〉点灯周波数設定用抵抗82で設定される点灯周波数を設定し、この出力によって制御回路80は安定点灯時の周波数でスイッチング素子31・32を制御し安定点灯状態となる。
【0008】
上記の通り、入力電圧によって直流電圧VCの変化と始動周波数の変化は、ランプの始動電圧の大きさ対して反比例する方向に働く。よって、入力電圧が変化した場合においてもランプの始動電圧の変動が減少するように調整回路100のベース抵抗器102とトランジスタ101のHFEを選定することにより、ランプの始動電圧が入力電圧に左右されにくい回路を構成し、入力電圧変化によるランプ両端に発生する始動電圧の変動を低減することができる。
【0009】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、入力電圧の変化によるランプの始動電圧の変動を減少させることが 出来るため、、使用部品は入力電圧によるランプの始動電圧の変動を考慮した定格の大 きい部品を使用する必要が無く、入力電圧によりランプの始動電圧が変化するときに比 べて小形で安価な部品を選定することが出来る。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an inexpensive and compact discharge lamp lighting device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a combined inverter that obtains a starting voltage for lighting a lamp by LC resonance between a ballast choke and a resonance capacitor, if the starting frequency at that time is constant, the starting voltage for lighting the lamp varies with the input voltage. . For this reason, when the input voltage is lower than the rated voltage, the starting voltage decreases. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the starting voltage at the rated input voltage. Further, when the input voltage is high, the starting voltage is further higher than at the time of the rated input voltage. Therefore, it is necessary to select a component having a higher rating than necessary in consideration of the maximum input voltage at which the starting voltage becomes maximum, which is disadvantageous in terms of price and shape.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above prior art, when the starting voltage necessary to light the lamp is secured when the input voltage is low, the starting voltage at the rated input voltage becomes a starting voltage higher than that voltage, and when the input voltage is high, Since the starting voltage is further increased, it is necessary to select a component having a sufficient margin for lighting the lamp with the minimum required starting voltage, which is disadvantageous in terms of the price and shape of the component.
The present invention has been devised to constitute a circuit in which a starting voltage for lighting a lamp is hardly influenced by an input voltage, and to use cheaper and smaller parts.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, an adjusting circuit is provided in which the resistance value is varied by an input voltage in parallel with the starting frequency setting resistor, and at a low input voltage, the combined resistance value of the starting frequency setting resistor and the adjusting circuit is increased. , The starting voltage of the lamp is increased, and at the time of a high input voltage, the starting voltage of the lamp is decreased by decreasing the combined resistance value and increasing the frequency, contrary to the case of the low input voltage. Thus, the fluctuation of the starting voltage of the lamp due to the change of the input voltage is reduced.
[0005]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. This is a discharge lamp lighting device using a composite inverter circuit. In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a rectifier circuit for rectifying the voltage of the AC power supply 11, reference numeral 20 denotes a smoothing capacitor, reference numeral 30 denotes a half-bridge type inverter circuit unit, reference numerals 31 and 32 denote switching transistors, and reference numerals 41 and 42 denote switching transistors, respectively. A flywheel diode connected in parallel with 31, 32 is a control circuit for controlling the switching of the switching transistors 31, 32, and 81 is a starting frequency setting resistor for setting a starting frequency when the lamp is turned on. , 82 are lighting frequency setting resistors for setting a lighting frequency when the lamp is stably lit, 70 is connected to the starting frequency setting resistor 81 and the lighting frequency setting resistor 82, and the control circuit Frequency at which the oscillation frequency of 80 is switched between lamp starting and lamp stable lighting A constant circuit, including a ballast choke 51, a fluorescent lamp 52, and a power supply capacitor 62 connected in series with the switching transistor 32, respectively; 53, a resonance capacitor connected in parallel with the fluorescent lamp 52; Reference numeral 71 denotes an auxiliary capacitor that connects the rectifier circuit 10 and the power supply capacitor 62 in parallel. Reference numeral 71 denotes a diode that connects both ends of the power supply capacitor 62 and the auxiliary capacitor 61 to the smoothing capacitor 20 and connects them in parallel. Reference numeral 90 denotes a detection circuit for detecting an input voltage, reference numeral 91 denotes a rectifying diode, reference numerals 92 and 93 denote voltage dividing resistors, reference numeral 94 denotes a smoothing capacitor, and reference numeral 100 denotes a detection circuit 90 connected in parallel with a starting frequency setting resistor 81. Is an adjustment circuit whose resistance value is varied by the detection voltage of the transistor 101, transistors that operate up to ten detection voltages, a base resistor 102 that limits a base current of the transistor 101, and a transistor 103 connected in series with the transistor 101. , An adjustment resistor connected in parallel with the frequency setting resistor.
[0006]
In this circuit, the starting voltage generated at both ends of the lamp to turn on the lamp is mainly determined by the DC voltage VC, the inductance of the ballast choke 51, the capacitance of the resonance capacitor 53, and the oscillation frequency group. If it is constant, the DC voltage VC and the starting oscillation frequency F are determined. Since the DC voltage VC changes in proportion to the input voltage, when the starting oscillation frequency is constant, the starting voltage generated across the lamp becomes a high starting voltage when the input voltage is high, and becomes a low starting voltage when the input voltage is low. This change is corrected by the oscillation frequency.
[0007]
Here, the operation of the detection circuit 90 and the adjustment circuit 100 for correcting the oscillation frequency will be described. The AC power supply 11 is rectified by a rectifying diode 91G, divided by voltage dividing resistors 92 and 93, and smoothed by a smoothing capacitor 94. A voltage applied between the base resistor 102 and the base-emitter of the transistor 101 is applied to the base resistor 10 The limited base current flows through the transistor 1014. However, the base current at this time is limited by the base resistor 102, and the transistor is turned on in the unsaturated region. Therefore, since the transistor 101 and the adjusting resistor LO3 connected in series with the starting frequency setting resistor 81 function as a variable resistor set by the magnitude of the base current and the HFE of the transistor 101, the input voltage is high. Sometimes, the resistance value increases and the starting frequency decreases, and when the input voltage is low, the resistance value decreases and the starting frequency increases. When the lamp is turned on, the control circuit 80 controls the switching elements 31 and 32 by the frequency setting circuit 70 so as to operate at the frequency set by the starting frequency setting resistor 81. Eventually, when the lamp is turned on, the frequency setting circuit 70 switches from the starting frequency setting resistor 81 to the lighting frequency setting resistor 82> The lighting frequency set by the lighting frequency setting resistor 82 is set, and by this output, the control circuit 80 The switching elements 31 and 32 are controlled by the frequency at the time of stable lighting, and a stable lighting state is achieved.
[0008]
As described above, the change in the DC voltage VC and the change in the starting frequency depending on the input voltage act in a direction inversely proportional to the magnitude of the starting voltage of the lamp. Therefore, by selecting the base resistor 102 of the adjustment circuit 100 and the HFE of the transistor 101 so that the variation of the starting voltage of the lamp is reduced even when the input voltage changes, the starting voltage of the lamp depends on the input voltage. It is possible to configure a circuit that is difficult to perform, and reduce the fluctuation of the starting voltage generated at both ends of the lamp due to the change in the input voltage.
[0009]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, since the fluctuation of the starting voltage of the lamp due to the change of the input voltage can be reduced, it is necessary to use a component having a large rating in consideration of the fluctuation of the starting voltage of the lamp due to the input voltage. Therefore, small and inexpensive parts can be selected compared to when the starting voltage of the lamp changes according to the input voltage.
