Description

Gegenstand des Hauptpatentes ist eine Schaltanordnung zur Helligkeitssteuerung von NiederspannungsLeuchtstofflampen, bei welcher die mit einer Vorschaltimpedanz, insbesondere einer Vorschaltdrossel, versehene Leuchtstofflampe aus einer Wechselspannungsquelle von mittels einer Steuereinrichtung veränderbarer Spannung oder über eine Steuereinrichtung aus einer Wechselspannungsquelle gegebener Spannung gespeist wird und bei welcher in den aus Leuchtstofflampe und Vorschaltimpedanz bestehenden Reihenkreis eine zusätzliche Impedanz, insbesondere eine weitere Drossel, aufgenommen ist, derart, daß er im Bereich der niedrigen Augenblickswerte des Stromes mehrfach größer ist als im Bereich hoher Augenblickswerte des Stromes. Eine derartige Schaltanordnung kann, wie ebenfalls im Hauptpatent angegeben, mit mehreren parallelgeschalteten Leuchtstofflampenkreisen und mit einem gemeinsamen Steuergerät für eine Gruppe von mehreren parallelgeschalteten Lampenstromkreisen ausgerüstet sein. Durch eine solche Schaltanordnung wird ein stabiler Parallelbetrieb mehrerer Lampen mit gleichmäßiger Stromverteilung auf die verschiedenen Lampenstromkreise auch im unteren Strombereich unterhalb 20% des Nennstromwertes gewährleistet. The subject of the main patent is a switching arrangement for the brightness control of low-voltage fluorescent lamps, in which the provided with a series impedance, in particular a series choke Fluorescent lamp from an alternating voltage source can be changed by means of a control device Voltage or a voltage given by a control device from an AC voltage source is fed and in which in the series circuit consisting of fluorescent lamp and ballast impedance an additional impedance, in particular a further choke, is added, such that it is im The range of the low instantaneous values of the current is several times greater than in the range of high instantaneous values of the stream. Such a switching arrangement can, as also indicated in the main patent, with several fluorescent lamp circuits connected in parallel and with a common control unit for a group of several lamp circuits connected in parallel. By such a Switching arrangement is a stable parallel operation of several lamps with even power distribution on the various lamp circuits also in the lower current range below 20% of the nominal current value.

Die Schaltanordnung nach dem Hauptpatent kann erfindungsgemäß dadurch weiter verbessert werden, daß die einen stark stromabhängigen Induktivitätswert aufweisenden weiteren Drosseln der verschiedenen Lampenstromzweige induktiv miteinander gekoppelt sind. Die induktive Kopplung verschiedener Lampenstromkreise bei Schaltanordnungen zur Helligkeitssteuerung von Niederspannungs-Leuchtstofflampen ist an sich bekannt.According to the invention, the switching arrangement according to the main patent can be further improved by that the other chokes of the various, which have a strongly current-dependent inductance value Lamp current branches are inductively coupled to one another. The inductive coupling of various Lamp circuits in switching arrangements for controlling the brightness of low-voltage fluorescent lamps is known per se.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung schematisch dargestellt. Betrachtet werde eine Gruppe von drei Leuchtstofflampen IO^ deren jede mit einem Zündimpulserzeuger 15 und einer einen stark stromabhängigen Induktivitätswert aufweisenden Vorschaltdrossel 27 in Reihe geschaltet ist. Der Induktivitätswert der Drossel 27 ist im Bereich der niedrigen Augenblickswerte des Stromes mehrfach größer als im Bereich hoher Augenblickswerte des Stromes. Als Impulserzeuger 15 dient z. B. ein Sättigungswandler, dessen Erregerwicklung über eine in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellte Luftspaltdrossel an die speisende Wechselspannung derart angeschlossen ist, daß sich die von ihm erzeugten spitzenförmigen Spannungslmpulse der an der Lampe liegenden Spannung überlagern. Die Lampen sind mit einer Kathodenheizung bekannter Art versehen, die in der Zeichnung der besseren Übersicht halber weggelassen ist. Die Lampenstromkreise sind an gemeinsame Leitungen 11 und 12 angeschlossen. Der Lampengruppe ist Schaltanordnung zur Helligkeitssteuerung von Niederspannungs-LeuchtstofflampenAn exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown schematically in the drawing. Consider a group of three fluorescent lamps IO ^ each of which is connected in series with an ignition pulse generator 15 and a series choke 27 having a highly current-dependent inductance value. The inductance value of the choke 27 is several times greater in the area of the low instantaneous values of the current than in the area of high instantaneous values of the current. As a pulse generator 15 is used, for. B. a saturation converter whose excitation winding is connected to the AC supply via an air gap choke, not shown in the drawing, in such a way that the peak-shaped voltage pulses generated by it are superimposed on the voltage across the lamp. The lamps are provided with a cathode heater of a known type, which is omitted in the drawing for the sake of clarity. The lamp circuits are connected to common lines 11 and 12 . The lamp group is a switching arrangement for controlling the brightness of low-voltage fluorescent lamps

ein gemeinsamer Regelwiderstand 30 vorgeschaltet. Dieser Vorwiderstand ist an eine Leitung 23 angeschlossen, die mehreren Lampengruppen gemeinsam sein kann. An den Leitern 11 und 23 liegt die Wechselspannung des Speisenetzes 26. Mit dem Vorwiderstand 30 kann der Lampenstrom bis auf beispielsweise V2000 seines Nennwertes herabgesteuert werden. Damit ein verbesserter Parallelbetrieb sämtlicher Lampen der Gruppe durch die Vorschaltdrosseln 27 gewährleistet ist, können diese induktiv miteinander gekoppelt werden. Zu diesem Zweck befinden sich auf den Drosseln 27 Sekundärwicklungen 28, die paarweise miteinander verbunden sind, wie in der Zeichnung dargestellt.a common control resistor 30 is connected upstream. This series resistor is connected to a line 23 which can be common to several groups of lamps. The alternating voltage of the supply network 26 is applied to the conductors 11 and 23. With the series resistor 30 , the lamp current can be reduced to, for example, V 2000 of its nominal value. So that an improved parallel operation of all lamps of the group is guaranteed by the series chokes 27 , these can be inductively coupled to one another. For this purpose there are secondary windings 28 on the chokes 27 , which are connected to one another in pairs, as shown in the drawing.
