Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an illumination device using a dielectric barrier discharge lamp. [Prior Art] A dielectric cleaning discharge lamp has been used for a light cleaning device that performs dry cleaning of a liquid crystal substrate or the like. In the light cleaning device, a high-frequency voltage is applied to an excimer lamp in which an excimer-generating gas is sealed in a quartz glass tube to discharge the glass tube, and the excimer-forming gas is in an excimer state, and a single wavelength of 172 nm is irradiated. Light. By irradiating the ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 1 72 nm in the atmosphere, oxygen in the atmosphere is decomposed to generate active oxygen. The organic compound whose bond is cleaved reacts with active oxygen to form carbonic acid gas (C02), water (H2〇), etc., and the organic compound is removed. Conventionally, although a dielectric-shielded discharge lamp having a large diameter is used in the optical cleaning device, in order to miniaturize the device, a plurality of dielectric-shielded discharge lamps having a small diameter have been developed, and A device for lighting the lighting circuit (see Patent Document 1). [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] In the optical cleaning device, the irradiation is generally managed in accordance with the cumulative amount of light. In the case of a light cleaning device having a plurality of lamps, once a part of the lamps -4-200924565 are turned off for some reason (hereinafter referred to as "not smashing"), The necessary accumulated light amount cannot be obtained, so the light detection function of the lamp is required. For example, it is generally a method of using a illuminometer as a non-lighting detection function. However, in the case where the excimer lamp has a light-cleaning effect, when the illuminometer is placed in the vicinity of the lamp, there is a problem that the illuminometer is aged. Once the illuminometer is placed at a position away from the excimer lamp in order to reduce aging, it is impossible to detect the correct illuminance because the excimer light is easily attenuated in the air. Others that do not emit the detection function are: a change in the current of the detected lamp. When the current 値 becomes equal to or lower than the preset reference 値, it is determined as an error (not lit). The lamp of the light cleaning device usually specifies the illuminance maintenance rate of 70% as the life. Since the illuminance and the lamp current are roughly related, there is a method in which the reference current of the lamp current is set to 70% of the initial lamp current to detect the life. However, in the case where a plurality of lamp light cleaning devices are used, is it possible to clearly judge whether the lamp current is lower than the reference due to the life or the lamp current is lower than the reference 因 because the lamp is not lit. The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide an illumination device in which a plurality of lamps are lighted and reduced in size by one lighting device, and the lamp is not accurately detected. [Means for Solving the Problem] The lighting device according to the present invention is characterized in that: the lighting circuit-5-200924565 is applied with a high-frequency voltage; and the plurality of dielectric shielding discharge lamps are connected in parallel with the bright circuit; The current detecting circuit detects the illuminating current flowing to the dielectric discharge lamps; and the non-lighting detecting circuit is when the lamp current detected by the electric discharging circuit is lower than the reference 値le, Determining that there is no light in the plurality of dielectric shaded discharge lamps, when the number of dielectric shielded discharge lamps connected in parallel with the front bright circuit is N, and lighting all N dielectric shielded discharge lamps The initial lamp current 値 is: The reference 値le is set to satisfy the condition (N-1)/NS le/ls of the following formula. Further, an illumination device according to the present invention is characterized in that: one lighting circuit is provided to apply a local frequency voltage; and N (N is two or more) dielectric shielding discharge lamps are respectively associated with the lighting circuits Parallel; the detecting circuit is respectively disposed in the plurality of lighting circuits for detecting the current flowing to the N dielectric shielding lamps; and the detecting circuit is used to detect the current When the lamp current detected by the circuit is at the reference 値U, it is determined that the plurality of dielectric shielding discharges are not lit, and the initial lamps when the N dielectric discharge lamps connected in parallel with the lighting circuit are all lit are turned on. When the current 値 is 1 s, the reference 値le is set to satisfy the condition (N-1)/NS le/ls of the following formula. Further, in the illumination device according to the present invention, the initial lamp current 値Is is set to the reference 値le, and the s-time complex integer current lamp is not detected for the point occlusion flow. Degrading the power of the lamp in the foregoing is a predetermined ratio for the life maintenance rate of -6 - 200924565. Further, in the illuminating device according to the present invention, the reference 値le is set to 70% with respect to the initial lamp current 値Is, and the illuminating device according to the present invention is characterized in that: The plurality of dielectric shielded discharge lamps are excimer lamps. In the present invention, when the N dielectric shielding discharge lamps are provided and the initial lamp current 値 when the entire dielectric shielding discharge lamp is turned on is 1 s, the conditional expression (N - 1 ) is satisfied. The reference 値1 e of /NS 1 e/1 s can be compared with the reference 値le by detecting the lamp current 値, and the non-lighting detection of the dielectric shade discharge lamp can be performed more surely. [Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an illumination device that illuminates a plurality of lamps with one lighting device and that is compacted, and more reliably detects the non-lighting of the lamps. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described using the drawings. Fig. 1 is a schematic view showing the configuration of an illumination device of the present embodiment. The illuminating device 1 shown in the same figure includes a plurality of dielectric shade discharge lamps 2, a lighting circuit 3, and a lamp current detecting unit 4 having substantially the same length. The dielectric shielding discharge lamp 2 is formed of a quartz glass tube having both ends closed, and an excimer generating gas as a discharge medium is sealed in the glass tube. The internal electrodes are arranged along the central axis inside the glass tube, and the internal electrodes 200924565 are fixed by the closed portions at both ends. An outer electrode is formed on the outside of the glass tube of the dielectric shielding discharge lamp 2. Ultraviolet light is generated by exciting a closed excimer generating gas by applying a high frequency voltage to the internal electrode and the outer electrode. The three dielectric shade discharge lamps 2 are connected in parallel to the lighting circuit 3. The lighting circuit 3 is provided with the lamp current detecting portion 4, and detects the current flowing to the three dielectric-shielded discharge lamps 2 connected thereto. The collective detection of the lamp current flowing to the three dielectric shielding discharge lamps 2 is collectively detected by the lamp current detecting portion 4 as compared with the case where the lamp currents of the respective dielectric-shielded discharge lamps are detected. It is possible to miniaturize the device. The lamp current detecting unit 4 sets an error reference 値1 e for detecting that the dielectric shade discharge lamp 2 is not lit. When the detected lamp current 値 is lower than the error reference 値le, it is detected that at least one of the dielectric shade discharge lamps 2 is not lit, that is, it is regarded as an error. Fig. 2 is a view showing the relationship between the error reference 値le and the number of lighting of the dielectric shade discharge lamp 2. The vertical axis of the same figure shows the lamp current 値, and the number on the vertical axis shows the number of lamps. Also, the horizontal axis of the same figure is the lighting time. When the total number of dielectric shielding discharge lamps 2 is N, and the initial lamp current 値 when the dielectric shielding discharge lamps 2 are all turned on is 1 s, the error reference shown in symbol 2 is It is set to satisfy the condition of (N-1) / NS le/ls, and is a lamp current 维持 that maintains a predetermined life, that is, an illuminance maintenance rate. In the present embodiment, the total number of dielectric shielded discharge lamps 2 connected is N = 3, so (N-1) /N = 2/3 and 0_67. In order to satisfy the above condition, the illuminance maintenance rate of 70% is defined as the life, and the error reference 値 is set to le = 〇.7xls. By setting the error reference 値le of the specified lamp life -8 - 200924565 in this way, even if the lamp current of the dielectric shielding discharge lamp 2 is lowered due to long-term changes, the output will not be output. A malfunction such as a bright error. Reference numeral 21 of Fig. 2 shows the initial lamp current 时 when the three dielectric shielding lamps 2 are lighted. When a dielectric shielding discharge lamp 2 becomes a stomachless, since the detected lamp current 値 is lower than the error reference 値le indicated by the reference numeral 22, it can be detected that the dielectric shielding discharge lamp 2 becomes unlit. Further, even when the dielectric shade discharge lamp 2 is completely turned on, the lamp current 値 is lowered due to the change over a long period of time, but the lifetime is not lower than the error reference 値1 e. In this way, by setting the reference 値le to the reference 规定 of the predetermined life, it is possible to clearly determine that the lamp current 低于 is lower than the reference 値le due to the life, or the lamp current is lower than the reference 因le because the lamp is not lit. Fig. 3 is a schematic view showing the structure of the non-light cleaning device. The optical cleaning device 10 shown in the same figure is a device in which a plurality of illumination devices 1 shown in Fig. 1 are mounted to enlarge an irradiation region. In order to more accurately detect that the dielectric shielded discharge lamp 2 is not lit, the error reference 値le must be set to satisfy (N-1) / NS le/ls, so that a plurality of dielectric shade discharge lamps 2 are connected to In the case of lighting circuit 3, (N-1) /N becomes larger. Therefore, it is necessary to set the illuminance maintenance rate (error criterion 値le) as the life to be higher than 70%. Therefore, by mounting a plurality of illuminating devices 1, it is possible to configure a light cleaning device that can detect the difference in illuminance without changing the illuminance maintenance rate by 10°. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide: It has a parallel number of -9-200924565 (N) dielectric shaded discharge lamps 2, and the conditional expression of (N -1 ) /N $ 1 e/1 s is satisfied with respect to the initial lamp current 値1 s When the lamp current lower than the error reference 値le is detected, the illuminating device 1 that detects the presence of the dielectric opaque discharge lamp 2 that is not lit is detected. Further, when the lamp current 値 decreases due to the change over a long period of time, since the change is slow, when the lamp current 値 becomes substantially equal to the error reference 値1 e , it can be determined that the lifetime of the dielectric shade discharge lamp 2 is. Further, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various variations are possible. For example, the dielectric-shielded discharge lamps connected in parallel to one lighting circuit are not limited to three, and may be any number of two or more depending on the adjustment of the relationship with the illuminance maintenance rate.
