本發明是有關於一種偵測裝置,特別是指一種燈具故障偵測裝置。The invention relates to a detection device, in particular to a lamp failure detection device.
現有燈具故障偵測裝置是藉由偵測流入所有燈具(例如,車用方向燈)的一總電流,以判斷燈具是否故障。詳細來說,當現有燈具故障偵測裝置偵測出該總電流趨近於零時(即,所有燈具皆故障),其才能判斷出燈具發生故障並通知使用者。也就是說,若非所有燈具皆故障,則現有燈具故障偵測裝置無法判斷出有燈具發生故障,導致現有燈具故障偵測裝置具有較差的偵測靈敏度。因此,現有燈具故障偵測裝置仍有改進的空間。The existing lamp failure detection device detects a total current flowing into all lamps (for example, vehicle direction lamps) to determine whether the lamps are malfunctioning. In detail, when the existing lamp failure detection device detects that the total current approaches zero (that is, all lamps are faulty), it can determine that the lamp is malfunctioning and notify the user. That is to say, if not all lamps are faulty, the existing lamp failure detection device cannot determine that there is a lamp failure, resulting in poor detection sensitivity of the existing lamp failure detection device. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in the existing lamp failure detection device.
