Definitions
- the invention relates to a circuit arrangement for the high-frequency operation of one or more low-wattage low-pressure discharge lamps connected in series with one another in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schaltungsanordnung zum hochfrequenten Betrieb einer oder mehrerer in Reihe zueinander geschalteter niederwattiger Niederdruckentladungslampen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for the high-frequency operation of one or more low-wattage low-pressure discharge lamps connected in series with one another in accordance with the preamble of
Der Nachteil dieser Schaltungsanordnung ist, daß durch die Halbbrückenschaltung und dem bei solchen Schaltnetzteilen benötigten Zwischenkreiskondensator parallel zum Gleichstromausgang des Netzgleichrichters Oberschwingungen im Netz erzeugt werden. Dieser Netzstrom-Oberwellengehalt muß gemäß IEC-Publikation 555-2 bei Vorschaltgeräten oder Konvertern größer 25 W Leistungsaufnahme ab 1996 die Klasse C der Vorschriften und bei Kompaktlampen, Vorschaltgeräten und Adapter kleiner gleich 25 W Leistungsaufnahme ab 1998 die Klasse D der Vorschriften erfüllen.The disadvantage of this circuit arrangement is that the half-bridge circuit and the intermediate circuit capacitor required in such switching power supplies generate harmonics in the network in parallel with the DC output of the line rectifier. According to IEC publication 555-2, this mains current harmonic content must comply with class C of the regulations for ballasts or converters with a power consumption of more than 25 W from 1996 and with class D of the regulations for compact lamps, ballasts and adapters with a power consumption of less than or equal to 25 W from 1998.
Da die Größe des Zwischenkreiskondensators proportional zur Leistungsaufnahme der Lampe ist, benötigen Vorschaltgeräte für Lampen größer 25 W Zwischenkreiskondensatoren mit höheren Kapazitäten. Diese haben jedoch einen hohen Oberwellengehalt zur Folge, so daß bei diesen Lampen aktive Oberwellenfilterschaltungen in Form von aufwendigen Pumpschaltungen mit Kondensatoren und Dioden benötigt werden, um die IEC-Vorschriften der Klasse C erfüllen zu können. Eine solche Schaltungsanordnung wird z.B. in der DE-OS 36 23 749 beschrieben. Diese aktiven Schaltungen haben außerdem zusätzliche Funkstörungen zur Folge, die nur mit einem hohen Bauteileaufwand unterbunden werden können.Since the size of the DC link capacitor is proportional to the power consumption of the lamp, ballasts for lamps larger than 25 W require DC link capacitors with higher capacities. However, these result in a high harmonic content, so that active harmonic filter circuits in the form of complex pump circuits with capacitors and diodes are required for these lamps in order to be able to meet the IEC regulations of class C. Such a circuit arrangement is e.g. described in DE-OS 36 23 749. These active circuits also result in additional radio interference, which can only be prevented with a high expenditure on components.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Schaltungsanordnung zum Betrieb von niederwattigen Niederdruckentladungslampen, d.h. kleiner gleich 25 W zu schaffen, die den Netzstromoberwellengehalt unter den in der Klasse D der IEC-Publikationen festgelegten Höchstwerten hält. Der hierfür benötigte Schaltungsaufwand sollte möglichst Klein und kostengünstig zu realisieren sein.The object of the invention is to provide a circuit arrangement for operating low-wattage low-pressure discharge lamps, i.e. to create less than or equal to 25 W, which keeps the mains harmonic content below the maximum values specified in class D of the IEC publications. The circuitry required for this should be as small and inexpensive as possible.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Ein weiteres vorteilhaftes Merkmal ist dem Unteranspruch zu entnehmen.The object is achieved by the characterizing features of
Der erfindungsgemäße Oberwellenfilter-Schaltkreis aus zwei Dioden und zwei Kondensatoren bewirkt einen sicheren Betrieb des Halbbrückengenerators im Nulldurchgang der Netz-Sinusspannung. Der Schaltkreis arbeitet nicht aktiv wie die oben aufgeführten Pumpschaltungen, sondern passiv, so daß nur geringe Funkstörungen entstehen und der Aufwand an Bauteilen zur Funkentstörung klein gehalten werden kann. Der Schaltkreis kommt außerdem mit relativ niedrigen Kapazitätswerten im Gleichstrom-Zwischenkreis aus. Als Zwischenkreiskondensator können daher kostengünstige Folien-Kondensatoren verwendet werden.The harmonic filter circuit according to the invention consisting of two diodes and two capacitors ensures safe operation of the half-bridge generator in the zero crossing of the mains sine voltage. The circuit does not work actively like the pump circuits listed above, but passively, so that only slight radio interference occurs and the expenditure on components for radio interference suppression can be kept low. The circuit also manages with relatively low capacitance values in the DC link. Inexpensive film capacitors can therefore be used as the intermediate circuit capacitor.
Aufgrund der geringen Ladekapazität des Zwischenkreiskondensators und der erfindungsgemäßen Ankopplung einer Lampenseite bzw. der zweiten Lampenseite der letzten Lampe (bei Reihenschaltung von mehreren Niederdruckentladungslampen) an den erfindungsgemäßen Schaltkreis zur Oberwellenfilterung ergibt sich ein hoher Power-Faktor (Verhältnis von Wirkleistung zu Scheinleistung) von größer gleich 0,9.Due to the low charging capacity of the intermediate circuit capacitor and the coupling of a lamp side or the second lamp side of the last lamp according to the invention (when several low-pressure discharge lamps are connected in series) to the harmonic filter circuit according to the invention, a high power factor (ratio of active power to apparent power) of greater than or equal results 0.9.
Der Oberwellenfilter-Schaltkreis aus den zwei Dioden und den zwei Kondensatoren ist auf kleinem Raum kostengünstig zu realisieren, da als Kapazitäten ebenfalls Folien-Kondensatoren verwendet werden können, die zudem (gegenüber Elektrolyt-Kondensatoren) eine höhere "Temperatur-Langzeit-Stabilität" aufweisen.The harmonic filter circuit consisting of the two diodes and the two capacitors can be implemented inexpensively in a small space, since film capacitors can also be used as capacitors, which also (compared to electrolytic capacitors) have a higher "long-term temperature stability".
Der Oberwellenfilter-Schaltkreis ermöglicht außerdem die Einsparung des Koppelkondensators in Reihe zur Resonanzinduktivität im Serienresonanzkreis, da der weitere Kondensator des Oberwellenfilter-Schaltkreises parallel zu den Dioden die Aufgabe des Koppelkondensators mit übernimmt.The harmonic filter circuit also enables the coupling capacitor to be saved in series with the resonance inductance in the series resonant circuit, since the further capacitor of the harmonic filter circuit, in parallel with the diodes, also takes on the task of the coupling capacitor.

Der Steuerübertrager arbeitet nach dem Rückkopplungsprinzip und setzt sich aus der Primärwicklung RKA sowie den beiden Sekundärwicklungen RKB und RKC zusammen. Die Lampe LP1 ist mit einem Anschluß der Elektrode E1 mit dem Mittenabgriff M1 zwischen den beiden Transistoren T1, T2 und mit einem Anschluß der anderen Elektrode E2 mit dem Pluspol des Netzgleichrichters verbunden. Außerdem ist ein Serienresonanzkreis aus Resonanzinduktivität L1 und Resonanzkondensator C6 vorgesehen, wobei die Resonanzinduktivität L1 zwischen die Primärwicklung RKA des Steuerübertragers und den entsprechenden Anschluß der Elektrode E1 und der Resonanzkondensator C6 zwischen die auf der Heizkreisseite liegenden Anschlüsse der Elektroden E1 und E2 geschaltet sind. Parallel zu den Schaltstrecken der Transistoren T1, T2 liegt außerdem ein Zwischenkreiskondensator C3. Der Kondensator C5 parallel zur Schaltstrecke des Transistors T1 dient zur Funkentstörung (Trapezkondensator). Außerdem ist parallel zum Resonanzkondensator C6 ein Kaltleiter R8 geschaltet, um die Vorheizung zu verbessern.FIG. 2 shows the exact circuit diagram of the circuit arrangement according to the invention with harmonic filter circuit for operating a low-pressure discharge lamp in accordance with the block diagram in FIG. 1. A filter choke FD1, FD2 and a resistor R1 are connected to each supply line in parallel to the filter choke FD1. The mains rectifier with diodes D3 to D6 follows this high-frequency filter. The self-controlling half-bridge circuit consists of the two transistors T1, T2, the series resistors R3 to R6, the control transformer and the starting generator with the resistors R2, R7, the starting capacitor C4, the diode D7 and the diac DC. The control transformer works on the feedback principle and is made up of the primary winding RKA and the two secondary windings RKB and RKC. The lamp LP1 is connected with a connection of the electrode E1 to the center tap M1 between the two transistors T1, T2 and with a connection of the other electrode E2 to the positive pole of the mains rectifier. In addition, a series resonance circuit comprising resonance inductance L1 and resonance capacitor C6 is provided, resonance inductance L1 being connected between the primary winding RKA of the control transformer and the corresponding connection of electrode E1 and resonance capacitor C6 between the connections of electrodes E1 and E2 on the heating circuit side. An intermediate circuit capacitor C3 is also located parallel to the switching paths of the transistors T1, T2. The capacitor C5 in parallel Switching path of transistor T1 is used for radio interference suppression (trapezoidal capacitor). In addition, a PTC thermistor R8 is connected in parallel with the resonance capacitor C6 in order to improve the preheating.
Die Funktionsweise einer solchen Schaltungsanordnung mit Halbbrückenschaltung und Serienresonanzkreis zum Zünden und Betrieb einer Niederdruckentladungslampe kann dem Buch "Elektronikschaltungen" von W. Hirschmann (SIEMENS AG) 1982, Seite 148, entnommen werden und soll hier nicht näher ausgeführt werden.The mode of operation of such a circuit arrangement with a half-bridge circuit and a series resonant circuit for igniting and operating a low-pressure discharge lamp can be found in the book "Electronics Circuits" by W. Hirschmann (SIEMENS AG) 1982, page 148, and is not to be described in more detail here.
Der zusätzliche Oberwellenfilter-Schaltkreis besteht aus zwei Dioden D1, D2, die in Reihe und in Gleichstromsperrichtung zwischen den Pluspol des Netzgleichrichters und den entsprechenden Anschluß der Elektrode E2 der Niederdruckentladungslampe LP1 geschaltet sind. Der Abgriff M2 zwischen den beiden Dioden D1, D2 ist über einen Kondensator C1 mit dem Minuspol des Netzgleichrichters verbunden. Außerdem ist parallel zu den Dioden D1, D2 ein weiterer Kondensator C2 geschaltet.The additional harmonic filter circuit consists of two diodes D1, D2, which are connected in series and in the DC blocking direction between the positive pole of the mains rectifier and the corresponding connection of the electrode E2 of the low-pressure discharge lamp LP1. The tap M2 between the two diodes D1, D2 is connected via a capacitor C1 to the negative pole of the mains rectifier. In addition, a further capacitor C2 is connected in parallel with the diodes D1, D2.
Die Diode D2 sorgt für eine Ladung des als Stützkondensator wirkenden Kondensators C1 über den Lampenstromkreis. Die Ladung des Stützkondensators C1 wird über die Diode D1 auf den Gleichstrom-Zwischenkreis geleitet und sorgt nun zusammen mit der Ladung des Zwischenkreiskondensators C3 dafür, daß auch bei Nulldurchgang der Netzwechselspannung eine ausreichend hohe Versorgungsspannung vorliegt, um die Halbbrückenschaltung in Betrieb zu halten. Der weitere Kondensator C2 hat die Aufgabe den Lampenstrom in negativer Richtung zu ermöglichen und wirkt zugleich als Koppelkondensator.The diode D2 ensures that the capacitor C1, which acts as a backup capacitor, is charged via the lamp circuit. The charge of the backup capacitor C1 is passed via the diode D1 to the DC link and now together with the charge of the DC link capacitor C3 ensures that there is a sufficiently high supply voltage to keep the half-bridge circuit in operation even when the AC line voltage crosses zero. The further capacitor C2 has the task of enabling the lamp current in the negative direction and at the same time acts as a coupling capacitor.

Die Elektrode E1' der ersten Lampe LP1' ist weiterhin mit dem Mittenabgriff M1 verbunden, während die zweite Elektrode E4' der zweiten Lampe LP2' mit dem Pluspol verbunden ist. Parallel zu jeder Lampe LP1', LP2' ist je ein Resonanzkondensator C6' bzw. C6'' und ein Kaltleiter R8' bzw R8'' geschaltet.In the case of two low-pressure discharge lamps LP1 ', LP2' connected in series instead of a low-pressure discharge lamp, the circuitry of the lamps with the circuit arrangement, as shown in dashed box A in FIG. 2, is by a circuitry as shown in box A 'of FIG , to replace. The electrode E1 'of the first lamp LP1' is also connected to the center tap M1, while the second electrode E4 'of the second lamp LP2' is connected to the positive pole.
