The primary windings of the transformers Τ and Τ2 are connected in parallel to the switching circuit 120, and the high voltage end of the secondary windings - corresponding to the connecting lamps LI, L2, that is, the high voltage end of the secondary winding of the transformer Τ1 corresponds to the connecting lamp L1, the secondary of the transformer Τ2 The high voltage end of the winding is connected to the lamp tube L2.

[0016] The multi-lamp driving system 10 dynamically obtains the highest tube current and the minimum tube current and compares them to determine whether an abnormality has occurred, instead of the conventional fixed reference voltage comparison, and thus, the ambient temperature and the lamp LI, L2 parameter changes When the maximum tube current and the minimum tube current are changed, 100103053 Form No. A0101 Page 8 / Total 20 Page 1002005413-0 201233249 is generated. In addition, in the multi-lamp driving system 10 to carry out safety requirements items, such as contact current, when testing, the lamps LI, L2 are short-circuited so that the capacitance of the lamps L1, L2 do not participate in resonance, resulting in phase shift of the tube current signal The abnormality detecting circuit 130 can detect the abnormality and trigger the protection circuit 140. [0017] FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of a multi-lamp driving system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the signal conversion circuit 1300 includes a complex signal conversion unit 1301, corresponding to the low voltage end of the secondary winding connecting the transformers ΤΙ, T2, that is, the first signal conversion unit 1301 is connected to the transformer T1, and the second signal conversion Unit 1301 is connected to transformer T2. Each of the signal conversion units 1301 is configured to convert the current signals of the corresponding lamps L1, L2 into voltage signals, which include a first resistor K1 and a first capacitor C1. One end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the low voltage end of the secondary winding of the corresponding transformer ΤΙ, T2, and the other end is grounded, and the first capacitor C1 is connected in parallel with the first resistor R1. The first resistor R1 is used to convert the current signals of the corresponding lamps L1 and L2 into voltage signals, and the first capacitor C1 is used to filter the voltage signal converted by the first resistor R1 to obtain a stable voltage. In this embodiment, the converted voltage signal is an alternating current signal. The highest tube current acquisition circuit 1310 includes a plurality of first diodes D1, one to one corresponding to the low voltage terminals of the secondary windings of the connection signal conversion unit 1301 and the transformers ΤΙ, T2. The anodes of the first diodes D1 are respectively connected to the low voltage terminals of the secondary windings of the corresponding transformers ΤΙ, T2, and the cathodes are connected and output the highest voltage signal. The first diodes D1 filter and output the highest voltage signals among the converted voltage signals of the signal conversion unit 1301 to the comparison circuit 1330. [0019] The lowest tube current acquisition circuit 1 320 includes a plurality of second diodes D2, - 100103053 Form No. A0101 Page 9 / Total 20 pages 1002005413-0 201233249 Corresponding to the connection of the signal conversion unit 1301 and the transformer ΤΙ, T2 The low voltage end of the winding. The cathodes of the second diodes D2 are respectively connected to the low voltage terminals of the secondary windings of the corresponding transformers ΤΙ, Τ2, and the anodes are connected and receive the first reference voltage Vccl via the second resistor R2 and output the lowest voltage signal to the comparison circuit 1330. In the present embodiment, the *most voltage signal and the lowest voltage signal are all AC signals. [0020] The comparison circuit 1 330 includes a switch Q, a third diode D3, a third resistor R3, a second capacitor C2, and a fourth resistor R4. The switch Q includes a control electrode, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The control electrode of the switch Q is connected to the anode of the second diode D2, that is, receives the lowest voltage signal, and is grounded via the third resistor R3. The first electrode of the switch Q is connected to the cathode of the first diode D1, that is, the highest voltage signal is received, and the second electrode is connected to the anode of the third diode D3. The cathode of the third diode D3 outputs the trigger signal to the protection circuit. One end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the cathode of the third diode D3, and the other end is grounded. The fourth resistor R4 is connected in parallel with the second capacitor C2. The third diode D3, the second capacitor C2, and the fourth resistor R4 are used to convert the highest voltage signal of the alternating current into a direct current signal, and then output to the protection circuit 140, that is, the trigger signal is a direct current signal. [0021] In the present embodiment, the switch Q is a P-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, and the gate is controlled to be a gate, the first electrode is a source, and the second electrode is a gate electrode. [0022] In the present embodiment, The parameters of the lamps LI and L2 are the same, the parameters of the transformers T1 and T2 are the same, the parameters of the signal conversion unit 1301 are the same, the parameters of the first diode D1 are the same, and the parameters of the second diode D2 are the same. Therefore, if the lamps LI, L2 and the multi-lamp driving system 10 are not abnormal, the currents flowing through the lamps L1 and L2 are not much different, and the difference value does not reach the preset range, and the ratio is 100103053. Form No. A0101 Page 10 of 20 Page 1002005413-0 201233249 Compared with circuit 1 330, no protection signal is generated, and protection circuit 140 is not protected. [0023] [0024] If any of lamp L1, L2 and multi-lamp drive system 10 is abnormal, for example, The lamp L1 is broken, and at this time, the current flowing through the lamp L1 is small. Therefore, the voltage of the voltage signal of the signal conversion unit 1301 corresponding to the lamp L1 is smaller than the voltage of the voltage signal of the signal conversion unit 1301 corresponding to the lamp L2. Moreover, since the first diode D1 has the same parameters and the cathodes are connected, the first diode corresponding to the lamp L2 is turned on, that is, the first diode D1 obtains the highest voltage signal corresponding to the highest current signal. The voltage of the first electrode of switch Q is equal to the highest voltage signal minus the conduction voltage drop of first diode D1. Ο At the same time, because the second diode D2 has the same parameters and the anodes are connected, the second diode D2 corresponding to the lamp L1 is turned on, that is, the second diode D2 obtains the lowest voltage signal corresponding to the lowest current signal. The voltage at the gate of switch Q is equal to the lowest voltage signal plus the turn-on voltage drop of second diode D2. The voltage difference between the control electrode of the switch Q and the first electrode is the lowest voltage plus the conduction voltage drop of the first diode D1 and the second diode D2 minus the highest voltage, because the lowest voltage is almost zero, and the highest voltage is at least For a few volts, the switch Q is turned on. At this time, the highest voltage signal is input to the anode of the third diode D3, and is rectified and filtered by the third diode D3, the second capacitor C2, and the fourth resistor R4, and then becomes a DC-type trigger signal and is input to the protection. Circuit 140. As such, the detection circuit 130 can detect an abnormality. 3 is a circuit diagram of a multi-lamp driving system 20 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The multi-lamp driving system 20 in the present embodiment is different from the multi-lamp driving system 10 in FIG. 2 in that the specific structure of the comparing circuit 1 330 is different from the comparing circuit 1330, and the rest is identical, so that it is no longer here. 100103053 Form number Α 0101 Page 11 / Total 20 pages 1002005413-0 201233249 Description.
