Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for controlling a lighting device.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device for controlling a lighting device, which is suitable for lighting devices based on non-conventional light sources, has a simple structure, and can be installed with little effort.
  • the device thus comprises a control circuit having an input for coupling to a mains voltage conductor and an output for coupling to a supply voltage conductor of the lighting device.
  • the control circuit is designed to supply the illumination device via the output with a supply voltage and control signals modulated onto the supply voltage.
  • the control circuit is designed to modulate control signals by phase control and / or phase section as digitally coded information on the supply voltage of the lighting devices.
  • the device comprises a button, by the actuation of the generation of the control signals can be influenced. For example, by pressing the button control signals can be generated, which cause a brightness control of the lighting device.
  • other control operations are possible, for example a color control.
  • the device may include one or more other controls, such as a potentiometer.
  • the potentiometer may be coupled, for example, with a rotary head, via which the desired brightness is adjustable.
  • the control circuit is configured to generate an internal supply voltage from a voltage which drops between the input and the output of the control circuit. In a non-actuated state, the button bridges the input and the output of the control circuit. In this way it is achieved that a voltage supply of the control circuit takes place only when the button is pressed, so that the power consumption of the overall arrangement is reduced. In addition, no special lines for powering the control circuit are required, so the installation cost is reduced.
  • the device is suitable for so-called “one-wire" wiring, in which the device is connected to a mains voltage source via only one conductor and, moreover, is connected to the lighting device via only one conductor
  • a connection to a neutral of the mains voltage source is not required to ensure the supply of the control circuit, however, it should be understood that the device is not intended for use with a phase conductor or neutral is limited.
  • the control circuit comprises a semiconductor conductor component and is embodied such that when the pushbutton is actuated, an operating current of the lighting device flows via the semiconductor component.
  • the control circuit may in particular be designed to derive the internal supply voltage from a voltage drop across the semiconductor device.
  • the semiconductor device may comprise a transistor as a controllable switch. Due to a non-linear characteristic of the semiconductor device, the internal supply voltage can be derived in an advantageous manner in this case, and in particular has a low dependence on the size of the operating current, if this exceeds a threshold current in the non-linear characteristic of the semiconductor device.
  • control circuit can be further configured to modulate the control signals by driving the thyristor to the supply voltage of the lighting device. In this way, a particularly simple structure of the control circuit results.
  • control circuit may further include a capacitor coupled in parallel with the semiconductor device to be charged by the voltage drop across the semiconductor device. In this way, a temporal variation of the voltage drop across the semiconductor device may be taken into account and the energy stored in the capacitor used to operate DC components of the control circuit.
  • the modulation circuit may also include a controllable switch such as a transistor and be configured such that an operating current of the lighting device flows through the controllable switch.
  • the control circuit may be configured to modulate the control signals by driving the controllable switch on the supply voltage of the lighting device.
  • the use of a controllable switch allows flexible generation of the control signals and may be used, for example, in combination with a controller to digitally encode the control signals. Therefore, in some embodiments, the control circuit includes a controller powered by the internal supply voltage. It goes without saying, however, that the controller could also be used to drive a thyristor.
  • the control circuit is configured to modulate the control signals by phase control and / or phase section to the supply voltage of the lighting device.
  • a predetermined phase angle or phase section can be used, by the presence or absence of which the control signals are coded.
  • the size of the phase angle thus does not need to be varied and is preferably chosen to be constant with a small proportion of the period of the supply voltage of the lighting device, so that a distortion of the supply voltage by the control signals is minimized.
  • the phase angle or the phase section is less than 20% of the period of the supply voltage of the lighting device.
  • the phase angle or phase portion 10-15% of the period of the supply voltage of the lighting device amount so on the one hand reliable detection of the control signals in the lighting device and on the other hand, a slight distortion of the supply voltage can be ensured.
  • controllable switch such as a transistor offers the advantage that different types of waveforms are possible, for example a phase angle or phase section.
  • a thyristor there is also no problem of a holding current, whereby even small loads can be controlled easily without the need for a base load.
  • the phase control or phase section can take place in only one half-wave of the supply voltage.
  • this offers the advantage that the control circuit can be implemented with a low circuit complexity and furthermore advantageously limits the distortion of the supply voltage by the control signals.
  • the control signals may be used to control the brightness of the lighting device, i. be used for dimming the light generated by the lighting device.
  • the control signals can also be used for other control operations, e.g. for a color control of the lighting device, which is interesting, for example, for lighting devices with light sources based on light-emitting diodes.
  • the device can be used with one or more lighting devices which are designed to process the control signals.
  • at least one corresponding lighting device is coupled to the device via the supply voltage conductor so that it can be controlled by the control signals.
  • the processing of the control signals in the lighting device can take place, for example, via an electronic ballast.

  • the lighting device 50 may be compatible with both the implementation of the control circuit 110 of FIG. 2 and the implementation of a control circuit 110 with a thyristor. This can be achieved by using a more complex digital coding of the control signals to indicate this by means of a special start sequence. For example, upon actuation of the probe, the controller 150 could first generate a predetermined half-wave at a phase angle so that, for example, a sequence of digital values "1101" is generated, indicating that a more complex digital encoding follows On the other hand, a simplified implementation with a trigger circuit would generate a sequence corresponding to the digital values "1111" when the button 120 is actuated, so that a differentiation can be made between the two implementations on the part of the illumination device.
