Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent disconnection of a temperature fuse even when a preheating time setting circuit is not worked by turning a switch element ON through the operation of a timer circuit, and whereby stopping preheating, when a power source voltage is dropped. CONSTITUTION:In a low power source voltage mode, in which an IC circuit 14 is not worked normally, the voltages on both ends of smoothing capacitors 5, 6 will not exceed the Zener voltage of a Zener diode 40, and a photocoupler 30 is turned ON by a resistance 39 through diodes 41, 42, at the time of inputting the power source. A timer circuit 25 is worked thereby, and a switch device 7 is turned ON, and even when a preheating time setting circuit 13 is not worked, continuation of the preheating condition of a discharge lamp 3 is inhibited. A resistance 9 is heated, and disconnection of a temperature fuse 10 is thus prevented.

Next, the operation will be described. AC power supply 1 voltage, Zener diode 20 voltage, IC circuit 14 plus side voltage, IC circuit when the power supply voltage is normal and low
The voltage on the negative side of 14, the output voltage of the IC circuit 14, the voltage of the photocoupler 30, and the voltage between the anode and cathode of the switch element 7 have the voltage waveforms shown in FIG. That is, IC circuit
When the power supply voltage is high enough for 14 to operate normally, the power switch
When 33 is turned on, a DC voltage is generated across the smoothing capacitors 5 and 6. This causes the Zener diode 40 to exceed the Zener voltage and drive the transistor 43 via the resistor 38. At this time, the potential at point (A) is
Since it is set to be higher than the potential of the point (B), the current supplied from the resistor 39 is drawn into the IC circuit 14. However, when the power is turned on, the reference voltage divided by the resistors 15 and 16 is generated on the negative side of the IC circuit 14, and the potential increases on the positive side of the IC circuit 14 due to the time constant determined by the resistor 17 and the capacitor 21. Then, when the voltage on the plus side becomes higher than the reference voltage, the IC circuit 14 outputs a high-voltage drive signal. As a result, the potential at the point (B) becomes higher than that at the point (A), and the voltage is pulled in from the transistor 46. The supplied current turns on the photocoupler 30 via the diodes 41 and 42 and drives the timer circuit 25.

The photocoupler 30 is turned on via 2 to forcibly drive the switch element 7. As a result, the preheating state of the discharge lamp 3 is prevented, the resistor 9 generates heat and the thermal fuse 10

Since the timer operating circuit 37 that operates the timer circuit 25 to turn on 7 is provided, even if the preheating time setting circuit 13 does not operate due to a decrease in the power supply voltage, the switch element 7 is forcibly turned on. The discharge lamp 3 can be prevented from continuing to be preheated, and the resistor 9 generates heat
