Description

この発明は、LED(発光ダイオード)素子を表示素子とするLED表示ユニットに係り、特に使用中に回路の電磁誘導や静電結合によって加わる電圧によって不用意にLED表示素子が点灯することがないようにするための、いわゆるLED表示ユニットの暗点灯防止回路に関する。   The present invention relates to an LED display unit having an LED (light emitting diode) element as a display element, and in particular, the LED display element is prevented from being inadvertently lit by a voltage applied by circuit electromagnetic induction or electrostatic coupling during use. The present invention relates to a so-called dark lighting prevention circuit for an LED display unit.

従来からLED表示ユニットの暗点灯防止回路として、特許文献1に示されるようにLED表示素子と並列に分圧抵抗を接続することでLED表示素子に電流が流れ始める電圧を高くし、低い印加電圧では点灯しないようにしたものがある。   Conventionally, as a dark lighting prevention circuit of an LED display unit, as shown in Patent Document 1, by connecting a voltage dividing resistor in parallel with the LED display element, a voltage at which current starts to flow through the LED display element is increased, and a low applied voltage Then there is something that has been turned off.

図5にこの従来の暗点灯防止回路を備えたLED表示ユニットの回路構成を示す。   FIG. 5 shows a circuit configuration of an LED display unit provided with this conventional dark lighting prevention circuit.

この従来のLED表示ユニットにおいては、交流入力電圧V1が電流制限抵抗R1およびブリッジ整流器BDを介して直列接続された複数のLED素子で構成されたLED表示素子Lに加えられる。そしてLED表示素子Lに並列に分圧抵抗R0が接続される。したがってLED表示素子Lには、電源電圧V1を電流制限抵抗R1と分圧抵抗R0とによって分圧した電圧V0(V0=V1×R0/(R1+R0))が加わり、この電圧V0がLED表示素子Lの所定の点灯電圧VLを越えるとLED表示素子Lが点灯する。したがってLED表示素子Lを点灯するために、定格の入力電圧V1は、点灯電圧VLを抵抗R1とR0による分圧比R0/(R1+R0)の逆数倍した電圧(VL×(R1+R0)/R0)より高い値にする。 In this conventional LED display unit, an AC input voltage V 1 is applied to an LED display element L composed of a plurality of LED elements connected in series via a current limiting resistor R 1 and a bridge rectifier BD. A voltage dividing resistor R 0 is connected in parallel with the LED display element L. Therefore, the LED display element L has a voltage V 0 (V 0 = V 1 × R 0 / (R 1 + R 0 )) obtained by dividing the power supply voltage V 1 by the current limiting resistor R 1 and the voltage dividing resistor R 0. In addition, when this voltage V 0 exceeds a predetermined lighting voltage V L of the LED display element L, the LED display element L is lit. Therefore, in order to light the LED display element L, the rated input voltage V 1 is obtained by multiplying the lighting voltage V L by the reciprocal of the voltage dividing ratio R 0 / (R 1 + R 0 ) by the resistors R 1 and R 0 (V L × (R 1 + R 0 ) / R 0 )

このような従来のLED表示ユニットによれば、電磁誘導や静電結合による電圧が交流入力端に加わっても、この電圧が前記のVL×(R1+R0)/R0以上の電圧にならないとLED素子郡Lは点灯しないので、外部から電磁誘導や静電結合によって誘導が予測される電圧よりも点灯に必要な定格の電源電圧V1を高く選んでおけば、外部から誘導される電圧によってLED表示ユニットが点灯される暗点灯を防止することができる。
実開平5−71886号公報(第5〜7頁、図1)
According to such a conventional LED display unit, even when a voltage due to electromagnetic induction or electrostatic coupling is applied to the AC input terminal, this voltage becomes a voltage equal to or higher than V L × (R 1 + R 0 ) / R 0. Otherwise, the LED element group L will not light up, so if the rated power supply voltage V 1 required for lighting is selected to be higher than the voltage expected to be induced by electromagnetic induction or electrostatic coupling from the outside, it will be induced from the outside. Dark lighting in which the LED display unit is lit by the voltage can be prevented.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-71886 (pages 5-7, FIG. 1)

前記した従来のLED表示ユニットにおいては、電源電圧が高い場合、この電圧を分圧してLED表示素Lに与えているため、電源端子に定格電圧を印加して通常に点灯している時も、LED表示素子Lと並列に接続した分圧用抵抗へ電流がながれて損失となる。電流制限用抵抗にもこの分圧用抵抗へ流れる分の電流が加算されて損失が発生する。したがって通常点灯時におけるLED表示ユニットの損失が大きくなるため、LED表示ユニットの効率が低下するだけでなく、損失による熱を放熱するためにユニットの体格が大きくなるという問題がある。   In the above-described conventional LED display unit, when the power supply voltage is high, this voltage is divided and given to the LED display element L. Therefore, even when the rated voltage is applied to the power supply terminal and it is normally lit, A current flows to the voltage dividing resistor connected in parallel with the LED display element L, resulting in a loss. The current limiting resistor is also added with the current flowing through the voltage dividing resistor, causing loss. Therefore, since the loss of the LED display unit during normal lighting increases, there is a problem that not only the efficiency of the LED display unit decreases, but also the physique of the unit increases in order to dissipate heat due to the loss.

この発明は、このような問題を解決するために、暗点灯防止回路の損失を低減することのできるLED表示ユニットを提供することを課題とするものである。   In order to solve such a problem, an object of the present invention is to provide an LED display unit capable of reducing the loss of a dark lighting prevention circuit.

この発明は、前記の課題を解決するため、電源端子間に電流制限用インピーダンスと、分圧用抵抗とを直列接続し、この分圧用抵抗に並列にLED表示素子を接続してなるLED表示ユニットにおいて、前記LED表示ユニットに印加される電圧を検出してこの電圧が規定の電圧より高いか低いかを判別する電圧検出手段と、この電圧検出手段が、規定電圧より高い電圧を検出しているときは、前記分圧用抵抗をLED表示素子から切り離し、低い電圧を検出しているときは、分圧用抵抗をLED表示素子に並列に接続するスイッチング手段とを設けたことを特徴とするものである。   In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides an LED display unit in which a current limiting impedance and a voltage dividing resistor are connected in series between power supply terminals, and an LED display element is connected in parallel to the voltage dividing resistor. Detecting voltage applied to the LED display unit to determine whether the voltage is higher or lower than a specified voltage, and when the voltage detecting means detects a voltage higher than the specified voltage Comprises a switching means for separating the voltage dividing resistor from the LED display element and connecting the voltage dividing resistor in parallel with the LED display element when a low voltage is detected.

この発明によれば、電圧検出手段とスイッチング手段により、LED表示素子に並列に接続された分圧用抵抗が、ユニットに加わる電圧が規定の点灯開始電圧より低いときは、LED表示素子に分圧用抵抗が並列接続され、ユニットに加わる電圧が規定の点灯開始電圧より高いときは、LED表示素子に並列に接続された分圧用抵抗が切り離されるようになるため、電圧が低い時は、並列に接続された分圧用抵抗によりLED表示素子に印加される電圧がさらに低くなりLED表示素子の暗点灯が防止される、そして、電圧が高いときは、LED表示素子へ電流が流れこれが点灯するが、分圧用抵抗への電流が遮断されるので、点灯時の分圧抵抗による損失が発生しなくなる。   According to the present invention, when the voltage dividing resistor connected in parallel to the LED display element by the voltage detecting means and the switching means is lower than the prescribed lighting start voltage, the voltage dividing resistance is applied to the LED display element. Are connected in parallel, and when the voltage applied to the unit is higher than the specified lighting start voltage, the voltage dividing resistor connected in parallel to the LED display element is disconnected, so when the voltage is low, it is connected in parallel. The voltage applied to the LED display element is further reduced by the voltage dividing resistor to prevent the LED display element from being lit darkly. When the voltage is high, a current flows to the LED display element and it is lit. Since the current to the resistor is cut off, there is no loss due to the voltage dividing resistor during lighting.

したがってこの発明によれば、LED表示ユニットの点灯時の電流制限用抵抗および分圧用抵抗による損失の発生を低減できるので、ユニットの効率を高め、また体格を小形にすることができる効果が得られる。   Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of loss due to the current limiting resistor and the voltage dividing resistor when the LED display unit is turned on, so that the efficiency of the unit can be increased and the size can be reduced. .

この発明の実施の形態を、図に示す実施例に基づいて説明する。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples shown in the drawings.

図1は、この発明の実施例1によるLED表示ユニットの回路構成図を示すものである。   FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of an LED display unit according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

この図1において、P1、P2は電源電圧を印加する電源端子、R1は電流制限用抵抗、BDはブリッジ整流器、VDは抵抗R1、R2、R3、ツェナーダイオードZDおよびトランジスタTr1により構成された、整流器BDの出力電圧を検出する電圧検出回路、Lは複数個の発光ダイオード(LED)を直列または並列に接続して構成されたLED表示素子、PDは抵抗R5およびR6により構成された、整流器BDの出力電圧をLED表示素子Lに分圧して与える分圧回路、そして、Tr2は分圧回路PD内に挿入されたスイッチング用トランジスタである。   In FIG. 1, P1 and P2 are power supply terminals for applying a power supply voltage, R1 is a current limiting resistor, BD is a bridge rectifier, VD is a resistor R1, R2, R3, a Zener diode ZD, and a transistor Tr1. A voltage detection circuit for detecting an output voltage of the BD, L is an LED display element formed by connecting a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) in series or in parallel, and PD is a rectifier BD formed by resistors R5 and R6. A voltage dividing circuit that divides and gives an output voltage to the LED display element L, and Tr2 is a switching transistor inserted in the voltage dividing circuit PD.

図1の回路において、電源端子P1、P2に交流電圧が印加されると電流制限用抵抗R1を通して流れた電流が、ブリッジ整流器BDにより全波整流されて分圧回路PDを介してLED表示素子Lに供給される。また、電源端子P1、P2に直流電圧が印加された場合は、ブリッジ整流器BDにより電圧、電流が極性を一定にしてLED表示素子Lに加えられる。このブリッジ整流器BDを設けることによって、LED表示ユニットを交流および直流の両方の電源で使用可能となる。   In the circuit of FIG. 1, when an AC voltage is applied to the power supply terminals P1 and P2, the current flowing through the current limiting resistor R1 is full-wave rectified by the bridge rectifier BD, and the LED display element L via the voltage dividing circuit PD. To be supplied. Further, when a DC voltage is applied to the power supply terminals P1 and P2, the voltage and current are applied to the LED display element L with a constant polarity by the bridge rectifier BD. By providing this bridge rectifier BD, the LED display unit can be used with both AC and DC power supplies.

電源端子P1、P2に加わる電圧V1が予め規定された点灯開始電圧より低い場合は、電圧検出回路VDの抵抗R3の端子電圧がツェナーダイオードZDのツェナー電圧を越えないようにされている。したがって、このときはトランジスタTr1のベースに電流が流れないため、このトランジスタTr1はオフとなる。このため、トランジスタTr2のベースに抵抗R4を介してベース電流が流れ、このトランジスタTr2がオンし、分圧回路PDの抵抗R6に電流が流れる。抵抗R6はこれに並列に接続されたLED表示素子Lよりインピーダンスが小さいため、この抵抗R6によってLED表示素子Lに加えられる電圧は、LED表示素子Lの点灯電圧VLに至らず、LED表示素子Lは点灯しない。   When the voltage V1 applied to the power supply terminals P1 and P2 is lower than a predetermined lighting start voltage, the terminal voltage of the resistor R3 of the voltage detection circuit VD is prevented from exceeding the Zener voltage of the Zener diode ZD. Accordingly, at this time, no current flows through the base of the transistor Tr1, so that the transistor Tr1 is turned off. For this reason, a base current flows to the base of the transistor Tr2 via the resistor R4, the transistor Tr2 is turned on, and a current flows to the resistor R6 of the voltage dividing circuit PD. Since the resistor R6 has a smaller impedance than the LED display element L connected in parallel thereto, the voltage applied to the LED display element L by the resistor R6 does not reach the lighting voltage VL of the LED display element L, and the LED display element L Does not light up.

電源端子P1、P2に加わる電圧V1が規定の点灯開始電圧より高くなると、抵抗R3の端子電圧がツェナーダイオードZDのツェナー電圧を越えるようなる。このため、このときはトランジスタTr1のベースにツェナーダイオードZDを介してベース電流が流れ、これがオンとなる。これによりトランジスタTr2のベース電流が遮断されるため、このトランジスタTr2がオフし、分圧抵抗R6をLED表示素子Lから切り離すので、抵抗R5を流れる電流は、LED表示素子Lだけへ供給され、これが点灯する。   When the voltage V1 applied to the power supply terminals P1 and P2 becomes higher than the specified lighting start voltage, the terminal voltage of the resistor R3 exceeds the Zener voltage of the Zener diode ZD. Therefore, at this time, a base current flows through the Zener diode ZD to the base of the transistor Tr1, and this is turned on. As a result, the base current of the transistor Tr2 is cut off, so that the transistor Tr2 is turned off and the voltage dividing resistor R6 is disconnected from the LED display element L. Therefore, the current flowing through the resistor R5 is supplied only to the LED display element L. Light.

この実施例1の回路においては、LED表示素子Lの点灯開始は、回路印加電圧を示す抵抗R3の電圧が、ツェナーダイオードZDのツェナー電圧を越えるか否かにより決まる。したがってLED表示ユニットにおける点灯開始の電圧は、抵抗R2、R3の抵抗比や、ツェナーダイオードZDのツェナー電圧の選択によって任意に設定することができる。   In the circuit of the first embodiment, the lighting start of the LED display element L is determined by whether or not the voltage of the resistor R3 indicating the circuit applied voltage exceeds the Zener voltage of the Zener diode ZD. Therefore, the lighting start voltage in the LED display unit can be arbitrarily set by selecting the resistance ratio of the resistors R2 and R3 and the Zener voltage of the Zener diode ZD.

また、LED素子は抵抗と異なり、印加電圧と電流が比例せず、電流が変わってもある程度電圧を一定に保つ性質があるので、電源端子への印加電圧の電圧変動に対するLED表示素子Lの電圧変動差が小さいため、抵抗R5により電圧変動差を補足しやすくしている。   Unlike a resistor, an LED element has a property that an applied voltage and a current are not proportional and the voltage is kept constant to some extent even if the current changes. Therefore, the voltage of the LED display element L with respect to voltage fluctuation of the applied voltage to the power supply terminal. Since the fluctuation difference is small, it is easy to supplement the voltage fluctuation difference by the resistor R5.

この実施例1において、その点灯開始電圧を、LED表示ユニットに外部から誘導される電圧の予想される最大値より高く設定することにより、外部からの誘導電圧によるLED表示素子Lの暗点灯を防止することができるとともに、点灯開始電圧より高い電源電圧を加えてLED表示素子Lを通常に点灯しているとき、分圧用の抵抗をLED表示素子Lから切り離して、この分圧用抵抗への点灯時の電流を遮断するようにしているので、分圧用抵抗が点灯時に損失を発生しなくなり、この分損失の発生を低減できる。   In the first embodiment, the lighting start voltage is set to be higher than the expected maximum value of the voltage induced from the outside in the LED display unit, thereby preventing the LED display element L from being darkly lit by the externally induced voltage. When the LED display element L is normally lit by applying a power supply voltage higher than the lighting start voltage, the voltage dividing resistor is disconnected from the LED display element L and the voltage dividing resistor is lit. Therefore, the voltage dividing resistor does not generate a loss when it is turned on, and the generation of this amount of loss can be reduced.

図2は、この発明の実施例2を示す回路構成図である。   FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram showing a second embodiment of the present invention.

この実施例2は、電圧検出用のツェナーダイオードZDを、トランジスタTr1のエミッタ回路に挿入した点が、実施例1と異なるだけで、その他の構成は実施例1と同じである。
この実施例2の回路においても、電圧検出用抵抗R3の端子電圧がツェナーダイオードZDのツェナー電圧を越えるか否かで、トランジスタTr1がオン、オフし、これに対応してトランジスタTr2がオン、オフするので、電源端子P1、P2に加わる電圧が、規定の点灯開始電圧以下では、分圧用抵抗R6をLED表示素子Lに並列に接続し、LED表示素子Lの暗点灯を防止し、点灯開始電圧以上では、分圧抵抗R6をLED表示素子Lから切り離し、点灯時にこの抵抗R6に流れる電流が遮断されるようになる。
実施例1または2においては、交流電源のもとで使用する場合は、電流制限用抵抗R1を、図3に示すようにコンデンサCに置き換えることも可能である。このようにすると、純抵抗分が減少するため、抵抗による損失をさらに低減できる利点がある。
また、この発明においては、LED表示素子Lを構成する発光ダイオードLEDは、要求される発光量や、定格の電源電圧の大きさによって、図4に示すように適当個数ずつ直並列接続することができる。
The second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except that a Zener diode ZD for voltage detection is inserted into the emitter circuit of the transistor Tr1.
Also in the circuit of the second embodiment, the transistor Tr1 is turned on / off depending on whether the terminal voltage of the voltage detection resistor R3 exceeds the Zener voltage of the Zener diode ZD, and the transistor Tr2 is turned on / off correspondingly. Therefore, when the voltage applied to the power supply terminals P1 and P2 is equal to or lower than the specified lighting start voltage, the voltage dividing resistor R6 is connected in parallel to the LED display element L to prevent the LED display element L from being lit darkly and the lighting start voltage. As described above, the voltage dividing resistor R6 is disconnected from the LED display element L, and the current flowing through the resistor R6 is cut off when the LED is turned on.
In the first or second embodiment, when used under an AC power source, the current limiting resistor R1 can be replaced with a capacitor C as shown in FIG. In this case, since the pure resistance is reduced, there is an advantage that loss due to resistance can be further reduced.
Further, in the present invention, the light emitting diodes LED constituting the LED display element L can be connected in series and in parallel as appropriate as shown in FIG. 4 depending on the required light emission amount and the rated power supply voltage. it can.
