Abstract
Description
"Optische Anzeige" Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine optische Anzeige, welche als Louchtdiode in Reihenschaltung mit einer Konstantstromquelle an einer in weiten Grenzen veränderbaren Versorgungsspannung betrieben wird."Optical display" The invention relates to a visual display, which as a light diode connected in series with a constant current source on a The supply voltage, which can be varied within wide limits, is operated.
Eine solche optische Anzeige ist aus "Elektor", Mai 1981, Seite 39 bekannt.Such a visual display is from "Elektor", May 1981, page 39 known.
Elektronische Lebenserhaltungssysteme in Kraftfahrzeugen, Antiblockiersystem, Gurtstrammer werden im Fahrzeugbordnetz unterhalb einer bestimmten Mindestversorgungsspannung, die weit unter der normalen Bordspannung liegt, definiert abgeschaltet, da sie dann nicht mehr mit der erforderlichen Zuverlässigkeit sicher funktionieren. Eine Warnleuchte signalisiert dem Fahrer dann die fehlende Betriebsbereitschaft.Electronic life support systems in motor vehicles, anti-lock braking systems, Belt tensioners are used in the vehicle electrical system below a certain minimum supply voltage, which is far below the normal on-board voltage, is switched off as it is then no longer function safely with the required reliability. A warning light then signals to the driver that it is not ready for operation.
Herkömmliche Glühbirnen mit einer Nennspannung von z.B. 1 2 Volt erfüllen die gestellten Anforderungen unterhalb ca. 8 Volt nicht mehr, d.h., ihre Leuchtkraft ist dann zu gering, um jederzeit bemerkt zu werden. Dasselbe gilt für Leuchtdioden Hli t t iii Vorwiderstand.Conventional light bulbs with a nominal voltage of e.g. 1 2 volts meet no longer meet the requirements below approx. 8 volts, i.e. their luminosity is then too low to be noticed at any time. The same applies to light emitting diodes Hli t t iii series resistor.
Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine optische AIizeigt' zu schaffen, welche eine ausreichende Helligkeit auch noc bei sehr niedrigen Bordnetzspannungen (z.B. 5 Volt bei einer Nennspannung von 12 Volt) gewährleistet, um den Fahrer jederzeit auf die möglichen Gefahren aufmerksam machen zu können.It is therefore the object of the invention to create an optical display, which provides sufficient brightness even at very low on-board network voltages (e.g. 5 volts at a nominal voltage of 12 volts) guaranteed to the driver at all times to be able to draw attention to the possible dangers.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 genannten Merkmale gelöst. Weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung sind der Beschreibung und Zeichnung eines Ausführungsbeispiels zu entnehmen.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features in the characterizing part of the claim 1 mentioned features solved. Further details of the invention are the description and drawing of an exemplary embodiment.
In der Zeichnung zeigen: Figur 1 ein Ausführungsbeispiel mit diskreten Bauelementen und Figur 2 ein Ausführungsbeispiel mit integrierten Bausteinen.The drawing shows: FIG. 1 an exemplary embodiment with discrete Components and Figure 2 shows an embodiment with integrated modules.
In Fig. 1 ist eine Leuchtdiode LED in Reihenschaltung mit einer Konstant stromquelle an die Pole einer Versorgungsspannung gelegt. Die Konstantstromquelle besteht aus einem Transistor T, zwischen dessen Kollektor und Basis ein Widerstand RB, zwischen dessen Emitter und dem Minuspol der Versorgungsspannung ein Emitterwiderstand RE geschaltet ist lznd von dessen Basis zum Minuspol eine Zenerdiode Z in Sperrrichtung angeordnet ist. Die Leuchtdiode LED ist zwischen Pluspol der Versorgungsspannung und Kollektor des Transistors geschaltet. Die Basisspannung des Transistors T wird dirci (liL Zenerdiode konstant gehalten. Bei Erhöhung der Versorgungsspannung fällt am Emitterwiderstand RE eine geringfügig größere Spannung ab, was zu einer Verringerung der Basis-Emitterspannung am Transistor führt. Der Transistor T wird dadurch hocllollmiger, so daß durch die Leuchtdiode LED in wesentlichen ein konstanter Strom fließt, was eine gleichbleibende Helligkeit über einen weiten Versorgungsspannungsbereich bedeutet. Die Konstantstromquelle kann sowohl mit NPN- als auch mit PNP-Transistoren aufgebaut werden.In Fig. 1, a light-emitting diode LED is connected in series with a constant power source applied to the poles of a supply voltage. The constant current source consists of a transistor T with a resistor between its collector and base RB, between its emitter and the negative pole of the supply voltage, an emitter resistor RE is switched lznd from its base to the negative pole a Zener diode Z in reverse direction is arranged. The light-emitting diode LED is between the positive pole of the supply voltage and collector of the transistor switched. The base voltage of the transistor T becomes dirci (liL Zener diode kept constant. When increasing the supply voltage a slightly larger voltage drops across the emitter resistor RE, resulting in a Reduction of the base-emitter voltage on the transistor leads. The transistor T will as a result, it is more cumbersome, so that the light-emitting diode LED is essentially a constant one Current flows, resulting in constant brightness over a wide supply voltage range means. The constant current source can be used with both NPN and PNP transistors being constructed.
In Fig. 2 ist schematisch die Konstant stromquelle durch ein integriertes Verstärkerelement V, welches den Transistor T aus Fig. 1 ersetzt, dargestellt, mit einem Emitterwiderstand RE und einer Stabilisierungsschaltung SZ, welche wie die Zenerdiode arbeitet und ebenfalls integriert sein kann.In Fig. 2, the constant current source is schematically integrated by an integrated Amplifier element V, which replaces the transistor T from FIG. 1, shown with an emitter resistor RE and a stabilization circuit SZ, which like the Zener diode works and can also be integrated.
Aufgrund einer höheren Verstärkung führt diese Lösung zu einer hosseren Regolung als die Lösung nach Fig. 1.Due to a higher gain, this solution leads to a higher one Regolung as the solution according to FIG. 1.
Ein Vorteil der Lösung nach Fig. 1 kann sein, daß bereits vorhandene Teile, z.B. die Treiberstufe eines Steuergerätes für die Abschaltung des Lebenserhaltungssystems, durch Emitterwiderstand RE und Zenerdiode Z ergänzt, als Konstantstromquelle mitverwendbar ist und damit die gestellte Aufgabe mit geringstem Aufwand lösbar ist.An advantage of the solution according to FIG. 1 can be that already existing Parts, e.g. the driver stage of a control device for switching off the life support system, Supplemented by emitter resistor RE and Zener diode Z, can also be used as a constant current source and thus the task at hand can be solved with the least amount of effort.
