Abnormity detection portion 3 is configured to the exception detecting multiple LED light source respectively.In the example in fig 1, abnormity detection portion 3 is configured to the exception detecting the first LED light source B1 and the second LED light source B2 respectively.Such as, abnormity detection portion 3 is made up of comparator, microcomputer.And abnormity detection portion 3 is configured to the exception (short circuit or non-loaded) detecting the first LED light source B1 and the second LED light source B2 according to the detection voltage detecting generation in winding 15,25 respectively.Such as, when detecting the exception of a part (being the side in the first LED light source B1 and the second LED light source B2 in the example in fig 1) of multiple LED light source, abnormity detection portion 3 is to the control circuit 10 or 20 output abnormality detection signal corresponding with this part.
Fig. 2 illustrates the physical circuit example of abnormity detection portion 3.In addition, in fig. 2, illustrate only the circuit structure that the detection voltage (first detects voltage) that produces in the detection winding 15 with DC/DC conversion portion 1 is corresponding, about the circuit structure corresponding with the detection voltage (second detects voltage) produced in the detection winding 25 in DC/DC conversion portion 2 (except microcomputer 30.), omit diagram.Wherein, that detects illustrated in circuit structure corresponding to voltage and Fig. 2 with second is identical with the circuit structure that first detects voltage corresponding.
Detect voltage (first detect voltage and second detect voltage) be is zero during the connection of switch element 11,21, be the voltage signal of the square wave of high level at the off period of switch element 11,21, the output voltage in voltage during high level and DC/DC conversion portion 1,2 has dependency relation.Thus, when LED light source B1, B2 there occurs short trouble, the output voltage in DC/DC conversion portion 1,2 is almost nil, and therefore detection voltage is also the voltage close to zero.On the other hand, when the distribution of the connection due to LED light source B1, B2 and DC/DC conversion portion 1,2 not exclusively or in LED light source B1, B2 disconnects and becomes no-load condition, the output voltage in DC/DC conversion portion 1,2 and input voltage (output voltage of ac/dc transformation component 4) roughly equal.Therefore, voltage is detected higher than voltage time normal.
In the example in figure 2, in abnormity detection portion 3, after the radio-frequency component comprised in the first detection voltage being removed by the low pass filter by being made up of resistance R1 and capacitor C1, detecting voltage by divider resistance R2, R3 to first and carrying out dividing potential drop.Detect voltage with first after dividing potential drop to charge to capacitor C2, the both end voltage of capacitor C2 is imported into the input port of microcomputer 30.Microcomputer 30 detects after voltage (first after dividing potential drop detects voltage) carries out A/D conversion be input to input port first and compares with large threshold value and these two threshold values of little threshold value.
Then, if detect voltage to first to carry out A/D and convert the value that obtains lower than little threshold value (hereinafter referred to as " the first lower limit ") or higher than large threshold value (hereinafter referred to as " the first higher limit "), then expression first LED light source B1 is created the first abnormal anomaly detection signal and outputs to the first and second control circuits 10,20 respectively by microcomputer 30.In addition, the first lower limit be set to than time normal first detect voltage fully little and be greater than zero value.In addition, the first higher limit be set to than first time normal detect voltage fully large and equal input voltage than the output voltage in hypothesis DC/DC conversion portion 1,2 time first and second detect the little value of voltages.Similarly, abnormity detection portion 3 is carried out A/D convert the value and large threshold value that obtain and these two threshold values of little threshold value compare by being detected voltage to be input to another input port second.Then, if detect voltage to second to carry out A/D and convert the value that obtains lower than little threshold value (the second lower limit) or higher than large threshold value (the second higher limit), then expression second LED light source B2 is created the second abnormal anomaly detection signal and outputs to the first and second control circuits 10,20 respectively by microcomputer 30.
Control part D is configured to when abnormity detection portion 3 detects the exception of a part for multiple LED light source, and the control carrying out adjustment part C stops to the output of this part to make adjustment part C, and adjustment part C is increased to the output of the remainder of multiple LED light source.In the example in fig 1, DC/DC conversion portion 1, when being transfused to the first anomaly detection signal, is stopped by the switch motion of shutdown switch element 11 by first control circuit 10.That is, first control circuit 10 makes adjustment part C stop to the output of the first LED light source B1 of the part as above-mentioned multiple LED light source.DC/DC conversion portion 2, when being transfused to the second anomaly detection signal, is stopped by the switch motion of shutdown switch element 21 by second control circuit 20.That is, second control circuit 20 makes adjustment part C stop to the output of the second LED light source B2 of the part as above-mentioned multiple LED light source.Its result, stops powering to the side in LED light source B1, B2 of creating exception (short circuit or non-loaded), can realize respectively the protection in DC/DC conversion portion 1,2, output voltage exception rise suppression.
And, first control circuit 10 is not when being transfused to the first anomaly detection signal and be transfused to the second anomaly detection signal, by making the peak value of the regulation disconnected by switch element 11,21 higher than time normal, make to increase from DC/DC conversion portion 1 to the direct current power (amount of power supply) of the first LED light source B1.In other words, first control circuit 10 makes adjustment part C increase to the output of the first LED light source B1 of the remainder as above-mentioned multiple LED light source.Its result, the light output (light quantity) of the first LED light source B1 increases, therefore, it is possible to suppress the illumination when the second LED light source B2 extinguishes to decline.
Similarly, second control circuit 20, when not being transfused to the second anomaly detection signal and be transfused to the first anomaly detection signal, by making peak value higher than time normal, makes to increase from DC/DC conversion portion 2 to the direct current power of the second LED light source B2.In other words, second control circuit 20 makes adjustment part C increase to the output of the second LED light source B2 of the remainder as above-mentioned multiple LED light source.Its result, the light output of the second LED light source B2 increases, therefore, it is possible to suppress the illumination when the first LED light source B1 extinguishes to decline.
As mentioned above, the LED drive device A1 of present embodiment is configured to, by input electric power being transformed to direct current power (direct current power of expectation) and this direct current power being supplied to multiple LED light source B1, B2 side, drive multiple LED light source B1, B2.And the LED drive device A1 of present embodiment possesses: abnormity detection portion 3, consist of the exception detecting multiple LED light source B1, B2 respectively; And adjustment part C (DC/DC conversion portion 1 and DC/DC conversion portion 2), consisting of adjustment respectively will to the direct current power of multiple LED light source B1, B2 sides supply, using this direct current power after adjustment respectively as to multiple LED light source B1, B2 output separately.Further, the LED drive device A1 of present embodiment possesses control part D (first control circuit 10 and second control circuit 20).Control part D is configured to when abnormity detection portion 3 detects the exception of a part of multiple LED light source B1, B2, the control carrying out adjustment part C (DC/DC conversion portion 1,2) stops to the output of this part to make adjustment part C, and adjustment part C is increased to the output of the remainder of multiple LED light source B1, B2.
Thus, first control circuit 10 and second control circuit 20 carry out the control of adjustment part C to make not detect that the output of the remainder of abnormal above-mentioned multiple LED light source B1, B2 increases to abnormity detection portion 3, therefore, it is possible to suppress illumination during abnormal generation to decline.Wherein, preferably, if first control circuit 10 and second control circuit 20 are no longer transfused to the first anomaly detection signal and the second anomaly detection signal, then restart the switch motion of a part for the switch element 11,21 stopped, and make peak value revert to original value (value before being transfused to anomaly detection signal).In addition, preferably, the output of the remainder of the switch element 11,21 that output is increased is reverted to original value by first control circuit 10 and second control circuit 20.Thereby, it is possible to malfunction when avoiding eliminating in replacing by LED light source B1, B2 etc. exception (short circuit, non-loaded).
In addition, in the LED drive device A1 of present embodiment, preferably possess ac/dc transformation component 4, this ac/dc transformation component 4 is configured to the alternating electromotive force as above-mentioned input electric power to be transformed to direct current power.Further, preferably, adjustment part C possesses multiple DC/DC conversion portion 1,2, and the plurality of DC/DC conversion portion 1,2 is connected in parallel in the output end of ac/dc transformation component 4.Preferably, multiple LED light source (first and second LED light source B1, B2) is one by one connected with the output end in multiple DC/DC conversion portion 1,2.Preferably, multiple DC/DC conversion portion 1,2 is configured to the direct current power from interchange/DC converting portion 4 to be transformed to the direct current power corresponding with the control of control part D respectively.As long as such structure, just an ac/dc transformation component 4 can be shared, therefore, it is possible to the simplification of realizing circuit structure by multiple DC/DC conversion portion 1,2.
As other execution mode of the present invention, also can be as follows: LED drive device A2 possesses multiple ac/dc transformation component 4A, 4B as shown in Figure 3, the plurality of ac/dc transformation component 4A, 4B are configured to the alternating electromotive force as above-mentioned input electric power to be transformed to direct current power respectively.And, preferably, multiple DC/DC conversion portion 1,2 is one by one connected with multiple output end of multiple ac/dc transformation component 4A, 4B, and multiple LED light source (first and second LED light source B1, B2) is one by one connected with multiple output end in multiple DC/DC conversion portion 1,2.In the example in figure 3, multiple DC/DC conversion portion 1,2 is configured to each direct current power from multiple ac/dc transformation component 4A, 4B to be transformed to the direct current power corresponding with the control of control part D.In addition, also following structure can be set to: as shown in Figure 4, abnormity detection portion 3 is set respectively for two DC/DC conversion portions 1,2, the anomaly detection signal of each abnormity detection portion 3 is outputted to respectively the control circuit 10,20 in two DC/DC conversion portions 1,2.
In addition, preferably, control part D (the first and second control circuits 10,20) is when the control carrying out adjustment part C (DC/DC conversion portion 1,2) makes adjustment part C lower than multiple LED light source rated value separately (rated electrical value) to the value of the output of multiple LED light source (first and second LED light source B1, B2), when abnormity detection portion 3 detects the exception of a part for multiple LED light source, stop adjustment part C to the output of this part.Such as, rated value corresponds to the power value to LED light source (rated electrical value) when the light output of LED light source becomes 100%.Further, preferably, control part D carries out the control of adjustment part C to make adjustment part C to the value of the output of multiple LED light source (first and second LED light source B1, B2) close to above-mentioned rated value.
Such as, in the A of Fig. 5 shown in dotted line α, assuming that control part D (first control circuit 10 and second control circuit 20) adjusts the output in (minimizing) adjustment part C (DC/DC conversion portion 1 and DC/DC conversion portion 2) by initial illuminance correction.Then, when the first LED light source B1 there occurs abnormal, first control circuit 10 makes DC/DC conversion portion 1 stop.On the other hand, preferably, if the second LED light source B2 is normal, then second control circuit 20 stops initial illuminance correction and the output in DC/DC conversion portion 2 is increased as shown in solid line β in the A of Fig. 5, makes the light output of the second LED light source B2 close to rated value (100%).Or the output that second control circuit 20 also can increase DC/DC conversion portion 2 as shown in solid line γ in the B of Fig. 5 makes the light output of the second LED light source B2 be rated value (100%).That is, control part C also can be configured to carry out the control of adjustment part C to make adjustment part C consistent with above-mentioned rated value to the value of the output of the remainder of multiple LED light source.Control when like this light output being set to rated value with first control circuit 10 and second control circuit 20 becomes easy advantage.
As other control example, also can when low light modulation (such as dimming level less than 50%), carry out controlling to make light output and original lightness roughly equal (when detecting the exception of a LED light source when the number of multiple LED light source is 2, the light output of another normal LED light source being increased to the light output of 2 times) as shown in solid line β in the C of Fig. 5.In detail, control part D when the control carrying out adjustment part C make adjustment part C to the value (with light output level) of the output of first and second LED light source B1, B2 mutually the same and lower than first and second LED light source B1, B2 rated value separately, if first and second LED light source B1, B2 dimming level separately (light output level) is less than 50%, then this dimming level (light output level) can be increased to 2 times.Therefore, control part D also can be configured to when the control carrying out adjustment part C make adjustment part C to the value of the output of first and second LED light source B1, B2 mutually the same and lower than first and second LED light source B1, B2 rated value separately, when abnormity detection portion 3 detects the exception of the side in first and second LED light source B1, B2, adjustment part C is stopped to the output of this side.In this case, the control that control part D is configured to carry out adjustment part C becomes the value (β with reference to the C of Fig. 5) of 2 times of this output to make adjustment part C to the value (α with reference to the C of Fig. 5) of the output of the opposing party in first and second LED light source B1, B2 or makes when this value of 2 times exceedes above-mentioned rated value the value of this output become this rated value (β with reference to the C of Fig. 5).
In addition, the LED drive device A1 of present embodiment, A2 are configured to drive (lighting) first and second LED light source B1, B2, but also the LED light source that can be configured to more than three drives.In addition, multiple LED light source B1, B2 that the LED drive device A1 of present embodiment, A2 drive need not be the LED light source of identical (rated voltage is identical with rated current), can be the LED light sources that rated voltage is different with at least one party of rated current.
In addition, when only having a DC/DC conversion portion 1 or 2 to carry out action when exception, compared with when carrying out action normal with two DC/DC conversion portions 1,2, the output voltage of ac/dc transformation component 4 is underload, and the possibility therefore risen is high.In addition, becoming in underloaded situation, the output voltage of ac/dc transformation component 4 produces fluctuation, and the electric current flowing through LED light source B1 or B2 due to the impact of this fluctuation produces variation, thus likely produces flicker.
But, in the LED drive device A1, A2 of present embodiment, increase owing to making the output of the DC/DC conversion portion 1 or 2 of the side proceeding action, the i.e. remainder of above-mentioned multiple LED light source, therefore, compared with the situation not making output increase, the rising of the output voltage of ac/dc transformation component 4 and the generation of fluctuation can be suppressed.
In addition, switch element 11,21 is set to the circuit structure of hot side (high-pressure side) (wherein by DC/DC conversion portion 1,2, illustrate only DC/DC conversion portion 1 in figure 6, omit the diagram in DC/DC conversion portion 2).
