Automotive headlight is arranged in the front area of motor vehicle and is used for illuminating runway in this motor vehicle the place ahead.As light source, its light is distributed by the light of headlamp with hope gaseous discharge lamp at this, and the formal distribution that for example dipped headlights distributes or high beam distributes is in the front region of headlamp and particularly be distributed on runway.Gaseous discharge lamp has the glass bulb that is filled with gas, is provided with at least two electrodes in this glass bulb.Produce by the gas discharge that ignites the electric arc that sends light between each electrode, by to each electrode continuously supplied with electric power keep this electric arc.Control to the supply of electrical power realizes via the control that is provided for this and/or adjusting device.
The function of the gaseous discharge lamp in headlamp and the luminous flux that particularly produced by this gaseous discharge lamp is subjected to external influence factor, as vehicle power fluctuation, mechanical acceleration and the impacts such as acoustic resonance and aging effect.
In order to compensate these external influence factors, take the measure aspect regulation technology, its purpose is to make the luminous flux of gaseous discharge lamp to keep as far as possible constant.Present being used for of using keeps the measure aspect regulation technology of luminous flux based on determining round lamp power and then this lamp power being adjusted to rated value, because lamp power is measured simply by control appliance consistently.
Yet, the prerequisite of carrying out like this is: gaseous discharge lamp will be fed to it under all ruuning situations the electrical power that is adjusted to steady state value is transformed into luminous power and heat with identical share, thereby the luminous flux that is sent by gaseous discharge lamp is always proportional with constant proportionality coefficient and electrical power.
But, certifiedly be: always complete inconstant in the electrical power of supply and conversion function between the luminous power of determining.Therefore, although lamp power is regulated, the luminous flux of gaseous discharge lamp or the fluctuation of luminous power appear still.
This conversion function for example fluctuation, the machinery of, light temperature aging due to lamp accelerate and each electrode on the electric arc starting point of variation change.
Therefore, for example the glass bulb of gaseous discharge lamp due to salt diffusion and/or electrode erosion and dimmed or even blackening.In addition, cold or cool gaseous discharge lamp has relatively poor efficient, and compares with the gaseous discharge lamp that arrives its operating temperature thus and send less light under identical electrical power.In addition, due to as when travelling in the situation that the machinery that headlamp vibrations or vibration are occurred accelerates, because arc deflection, electric arc extend or cooling when impacting on glass bulb due to electric arc, can cause the luminous efficiency change.
Summary of the invention
Under these backgrounds, task of the present invention is: even in the situation that extraneous interference effect factor exerts an influence, still realize the better constant of luminous flux that the gaseous discharge lamp by automotive headlight sends.
This task is feature and the independently feature solution of claim to a method 6 of use device claim 1 respectively.
Aspect device, the invention is characterized in, this control and/or adjusting device have the optical sensor of the enclosure interior of being arranged on, and are provided for making the light that is produced by gaseous discharge lamp to incide on optical sensor and will be as actual value, Signal Regulation that optical sensor is caused by light incident to rated value by adaptive electrical power to the gaseous discharge lamp supply in the regulating loop of closure.
Aspect method, the invention is characterized in, detect the signal of optical sensor, this optical sensor arranges like this in enclosure interior, make this optical sensor bright by the illumination of gaseous discharge lamp, and as actual value, optical sensor is adjusted to rated value by adaptive to the gaseous discharge lamp supplied with electric power by the signal that light incident causes in the regulating loop of closure.

Fig. 2 shows the functional block diagram of closed regulating loop 200, and it is used for regulating by the light of the gaseous discharge lamp 106 emissions luminous flux L at headlamp 100.
Piece 106 expression gaseous discharge lamps 106, piece 110 expressions provide the DC/DC transformer 110 of the electric input value of gaseous discharge lamp 106.Piece 113 expression optical sensors 113.The form that remaining piece 206,208,209 and 210 expressions act on regulating loop 200 is the influencing factor of interference parameter.Remaining piece 201,202 and 204 expressions are by the regulatory function of controlling and adjusting device 109 realizes.Thus, Fig. 2 discloses method of the present invention and device.
The electric arc 121 of gaseous discharge lamp 106 produces luminous flux L.The first interference parameter 206 acts on this luminous flux L, and the first interference parameter directly affects the conversion function between lamp power and luminous power.This is for example mechanically excited fluctuation of electric arc 121.
Electric arc 121 passes through the burn-in effects factor and hydraulic performance decline in some cases.Such hydraulic performance decline is the glass bulb 108 blackening effects by making gaseous discharge lamp 106 for example.By piece 208 expressions, its impact in node 209 deducts from luminous flux L such burn-in effects factor in Fig. 2.The structure L_IST of node 209 represents the actual luminous flux of gaseous discharge lamp 106, as being detected or by the actual luminous flux of this light sensors by optical sensor 113.
In node 202, the actual value L_IST that is detected by optical sensor 113 deducts from rated value L_SOLL, this rated value by rated value control point adjustment 201, for example control and the memory cell of the memory of adjusting device 109 provides.The difference that draws offers adjuster 204 as adjusting deviation, and therefore this adjuster adopts predetermined adjusting algorithm to provide for the control parameter of controlling DC/DC transformer 110, and the DC/DC transformer is determined lamp power.
Therefore, regulate algorithm and pre-determine like this, namely actual value L_IST reacts on and controls parameter and cause: actual value L_IST reduces time average from the deviation of rated value L_SOLL.In preferred design, adjuster 204 has the P-I regulating characteristics, and is proportional thereby the first component of adjusting control parameter and adjusting depart from, and adjusting is controlled the second component of parameter as the time integral formation of I component by adjusting deviation.
The fluctuation of piece 210 expression vehicle carried power voltages.These fluctuations form interference parameter, and it acts on DC/DC transformer 110 and does not affect thus the electrical power of gaseous discharge lamp 106 and the conversion function between its luminous power, but directly affects electrical power.Yet this interference parameter also acts on luminous power also correspondingly by adjustment of the present invention.
Particularly advantageous is that the adjusting of controlling in advance of gaseous discharge lamp 106 not only relates to the normal operation of gaseous discharge lamp 106, and can be in the startup stage realization of gaseous discharge lamp 106.By regulating luminous flux L by regulating loop 200, removed prior art require ground very intricately again form the impact that starts described interference.
The PI characteristic allows to adjust so-called interference on the time span of to two millisecond.This time is shorter than the reaction time of people's visual response, thus after adjusting the still residual fluctuation of luminous power perceived arriving not.
