Definitions
- the invention relates to a circuit arrangement for operating a discharge lamp according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the operation of a discharge lamp is understood to mean all states of a discharge lamp from ignition to stationary burning.
- Low-pressure discharge lamps in particular fluorescent lamps, are used to a large extent for electrical light generation. Compared to incandescent lamps, they are characterized by a higher luminous efficacy, greater efficiency and a longer service life.
- Low-pressure discharge lamps essentially consist of a discharge vessel, which is coated with fluorescent lamps on the inside of fluorescent lamps, electrodes, a gas filling and a lamp base with contact pins. The light generation in discharge lamps takes place via the process of gas discharge in the discharge vessel.
- ballasts There are various implementation options for ballasts, which essentially differ in the way in which the lamp is ignited. The most widespread are ballasts in which the electrodes are preheated before the gas discharge is ignited.
- ballasts In such ballasts, the gas discharge is ignited by a voltage pulse.
- the conventional ballasts use a glow starter to generate voltage pulses.
- the ballast is preferably implemented using purely electronic components. This applies in particular to compact lamps in which the ballast is integrated into the lamp base in a space-saving manner. Compact lamps are characterized by Contrary to the conventional rod-shaped fluorescent lamps by small dimensions.
- Electronic ballasts are known. They essentially consist of a low-pass filter, a radio interference suppression filter, a rectifier and an inverter or converter.
- the inverter or converter generates a high-frequency AC voltage of approximately 25 to 50 kHz, which is applied to the electrodes of the discharge lamp.
- a low-pressure discharge lamp is operated with a high-frequency alternating voltage, a higher luminous efficiency of the lamps is achieved than with low-frequency operation.
- the light generated in this operating mode is also flicker-free.
- DE-OS 38 40 845 AI describes a circuit arrangement for operating a low-pressure discharge lamp with an inductor connected in series with the discharge lamp and a capacitor arranged in parallel with the discharge lamp.
- a two-pole connection is provided, which is connected on the one hand to a switching point of the load circuit and on the other hand at least via a diode to the positive pole and / or via a diode to the negative pole of a DC voltage source for supplying the circuit arrangement.
- the diodes block the preheating circuit after the discharge lamp has been ignited.
- the two-pole circuit consists of a series connection of a PTC thermistor and two Z diodes which are polarized in the opposite forward direction. This serves to secure the blocking of the preheating circuit in case of burning voltages above 70 V.
- the starting characteristic of the discharge lamp is determined by the ambient temperature and the operating data of the PTC thermistor that changes with aging, so that constant ignition of a discharge lamp is not possible with the known circuit arrangements.
- the invention has for its object to provide a simple circuit arrangement according to the preamble of the first claim for gentle operation of a discharge lamp, which enables a substantially constant ignition of a discharge lamp.
- this object is achieved in that in a circuit arrangement which has a high-frequency alternating cable or converter, has an inductor connected in series with the discharge lamp and a capacitor arranged in parallel with the discharge lamp, the series circuit of a cold conductor with a bidirectional breakdown voltage component is arranged parallel to the inductor or the capacitor, and that the PTC thermistor and the bidirectional breakdown voltage component are thermally coupled to one another.
- the solution according to the invention creates a simple circuit arrangement for the gentle operation of a discharge lamp, in particular a low-pressure discharge lamp, by causing a voltage limitation in the preheating phase of the lamp and thus preventing spontaneous ignition of the discharge lamp by excessive resonance of the load circuit.
- the thermal coupling of the PTC thermistor and the bidirectional breakdown voltage component leads to additional heating of the PTC thermistor by the heat loss of the bidirectionally acting breakdown voltage component.
- the supply of heat by the bidirectional breakdown voltage component has the effect, in particular, that the operating data change of the PTC thermistor due to aging and the ambient temperature are only greatly reduced in the starting characteristic of the discharge lamp and thus an essentially constant ignition of the discharge lamp is ensured.
- the solution according to the invention is based on the following knowledge:
- the inductance and a capacitor provided as a capacitor form a series resonant circuit.
- the degree of thermal coupling of the PTC thermistor and the bidirectional breakdown voltage component can be set in a targeted manner. This enables a targeted setting of the start characteristic of the discharge lamp:
- the bidirectional breakdown voltage component is subjected to a high power loss which, via the thermal coupling, results in a certain additional heating of the PTC thermistor and thus, sooner or later, in accordance with the degree of thermal coupling, in order to increase the resonance in the series resonant circuit and to ignite the Discharge lamp leads.
- the degree of thermal coupling of PTC thermistor and bidirectional tional breakdown voltage component is thus a targeted adjustment of the starting characteristics of the lamp.
- the circuit arrangement according to the invention enables simple adaptation of the heating time to different lamp parameters.
- the thermal coupling of the PTC thermistor and the bidirectional breakdown voltage component is advantageously carried out by a connecting medium.
- Adhesive or lacquer for example, are suitable as a connecting medium.
- the degree of thermal coupling can be adjusted in particular by selecting the connecting medium accordingly.
- the thermal coupling can also be set by varying the spatial distance between the PTC thermistor and the bidirectional breakdown voltage component.
- a transil diode or a varistor is used as the bidirectional breakdown voltage component.
- Two oppositely polarized and in series Z-diodes are also suitable for realizing the bidirectionally acting breakdown voltage component.
- the breakdown voltage of the bidirectional breakdown voltage component is advantageously chosen so that it is below the ignition voltage and above the operating voltage of the discharge lamp. It is achieved on the one hand that in the preheating phase of the lamp by the PTC thermistor and the bidirectional breakdown voltage The existing component of the preheating circuit current flows and the electrodes are thus preheated while the gas discharge is not yet igniting.
- the PTC thermistor and the bidirectional breakdown voltage component are preferably integrated in one component.
- a rectifier 1 with a smoothing device, an inverter 2 and a load circuit 3 are shown.
- the load circuit 3 contains the inductance L1, which is connected in series with the discharge lamp Hl in parallel with at least one capacitor C1 as a capacitor. Just- if connected in parallel with the capacitor C1, the series circuit comprising a PTC thermistor VI and a transile diode V2 is arranged.
- the PTC thermistor VI and the transile diode V2 are preferably thermally coupled to one another via a lacquer, which is indicated by the dashed line connection of the two components.
- the capacitors C2 and C3 serve both for AC coupling and for smoothing the supply voltage.
- the inverter 2 supplies a square wave voltage of approximately 310 Vpp.
- the current in the load circuit 3 flows through the inductance L1, the heating filaments of the lamp electrodes and the capacitor C1, the PTC thermistor VI and the transile diode V2.
- the breakdown voltage of the transile diode V2 is dimensioned such that the discharge lamp H1 does not ignite spontaneously, but the heating of the electrodes is ensured. Due to the thermal coupling between PTC thermistor VI and transile diode V2, PTC thermistor VI is additionally warmed up by the heat loss of the transile diode V2. As the PTC thermistor VI heats up, its resistance and thus the resonance increase at the discharge lamp H1 increases until it is ignited.
- the peak voltage of the discharge lamp Hl is below the breakdown voltage of the transile diode V2.
- the preheating circuit is blocked and therefore does not represent an additional load.
