Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent irradiation of the light having reduced flux or a flickering light by unlighting a discharge lamp and lighting an incandescent lamp upon droppage of the output level from the discharge lamp below a predetermined level by means of a discharge lamp output level detecting means. CONSTITUTION:When approaching to the end of service life, a discharge lamp 6 exhibits a disturbed discharge condition where the discharge current 19 does not settle but fluctuates. When the discharge current 19 exceeds over a referential level 20 under such condition, a signal is provided from a comparison circuit 16 to a control circuit 8 which detects that the discharge lamp 6 has approached to the end of service life. Consequently, the control circuit 8 stops power supply to the discharge lamp 6 while starts power supply to an incandescent lamp 7 so as to light the incandescent lamp 7. At the same time, a display 17 displays that the discharge lamp 6 has approached to the end of service life.

Then, until discharge starts, the terminal voltage rises rapidly and no current flows. When discharge starts in the discharge lamp 6, the discharge voltage decreases while the discharge current increases. and,
In the early stage of lighting, the discharge state is unstable, so the discharge current is high and the amount of light irradiated by the discharge lamp 6 is small. Then, as time passes, the discharge state becomes stable, and the discharge current also decreases and then becomes constant.

Therefore, when the discharge current is high, the pulse width of the pulse signal sent from the control circuit 8 to the switching circuit 13 is increased to increase the duty ratio, thereby increasing the current supplied to the incandescent bulb 7. Increase the amount of light irradiated. Conversely, when the discharge current is low, the pulse width of the pulse signal sent from the control circuit 8 to the switching circuit 13 is reduced to lower the duty ratio, thereby lowering the current supplied to the incandescent bulb 7 and reducing the incandescent light bulb. Reduce the amount of light irradiated by the light bulb 7.

即ち、放電灯6の照射光量が充分でない間は白熱電球7

That is, while the amount of light irradiated by the discharge lamp 6 is not sufficient, the incandescent lamp 7
is turned on, and as the amount of light irradiated by the discharge lamp 6 increases during that time, the amount of light irradiated by the incandescent bulb 7 is decreased,
This is to prevent the amount of light irradiated by the headlamp 1 from becoming excessively large.

Further, in FIG. 4, 20 is a reference current applied to the comparator circuit 16. And, as shown in Figure 4,
When the discharge lamp 6 reaches the end of its life, its discharge state is disturbed, and accordingly, the discharge current 19 is not constant and changes up and down.

そこで、そのような状態になって、放電電流19が基準

Therefore, when such a state occurs and the discharge current 19 exceeds the reference current 20, a signal is output from the comparison circuit 16 to the control circuit 8, and the control circuit 8 detects that the discharge lamp 6 is nearing the end of its life. Ru. Therefore, the control circuit 8 stops power supply to the discharge lamp 6, and starts supplying power to the incandescent light bulb 7, causing it to light up. At the same time, the display device 18 is made to display that the discharge lamp 6 has reached the end of its life.

これによって、運転者は、放電灯6が寿命末期になった
