Abstract

La présente invention concerne un appareil d'éclairage à DEL et un procédé pour le commander qui permettent la protection des éléments de DEL en les empêchant d'être court-circuités ou ouverts à cause d'une montée de température interne résultant de leur dégradation et de l'augmentation de variation du courant générée dans les séries de DEL, cette augmentation pouvant causer de graves problèmes dans l'ensemble de l'appareil d'éclairage à DEL. L'appareil d'éclairage à DEL de la présente invention comprend : un générateur de courant constant ; un moyen de détection de courant qui détecte l'amplitude du courant passant dans chaque série de DEL ; un convertisseur analogique à numérique qui reçoit les signaux de tension de courant du moyen de détection de courant et qui convertit les signaux reçus en signaux numériques ; une unité centrale de traitement qui détermine si chaque série de DEL est détériorée, ouverte ou court-circuitée sur la base du signal de courant reçu du convertisseur de signal analogique à numérique et qui produit des commandes gérant l'amplitude du courant constant généré par le générateur de courant constant ou arrêtant la génération du courant constant ; un convertisseur numérique à analogique qui convertit le signal numérique produit par l'unité centrale de traitement en un signal analogique, et un modulateur de largeur d'impulsion qui convertit le signal numérique produit par l'unité centrale de traitement en un signal modulé en largeur d'impulsion. Le générateur de courant constant génère du courant ou arrête d'en générer en fonction du signal produit par le convertisseur numérique à analogique ou par le modulateur de largeur d'impulsion. L'appareil d'éclairage à DEL et son procédé de commande selon la présente invention permettent à d'autres séries de DEL de fonctionner normalement même quand un élément de DEL s'est dégradé ou est ouvert, et de couper l'éclairage quand un élément de DEL est court-circuité, ce qui protège le générateur de courant constant.
