Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a circuit arrangement for operating a high-pressure discharge lamp comprising a bridge circuit having at least two switches and a control device which is designed to control the at least two switches. It also relates to a method of operating a high-pressure discharge lamp on a circuit comprising a half-bridge circuit having exactly two switches, a control device which turns on and off the first and second switches of the half-bridge circuit alternately at a first frequency, and during the off-phase of the one switch the other switch with a square wave signal of a second frequency, which is greater than the first frequency, and a predetermined duty cycle controls.
  • the present invention generally relates to the problem of extinguishing high-pressure discharge lamps.
  • high-pressure discharge lamps are operated on a full-bridge circuit, ie on a bridge circuit with four switches.
  • DE 199 17 180 A1 discloses a high pressure discharge lamp operated by a half-bridge circuit.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore the circuit arrangement mentioned at the outset or the operating method mentioned at the outset in such a way that the operation of as many types of high-pressure discharge lamps is also possible using a half-bridge circuit.
  • the present invention is based on the finding that a half-bridge circuit is less "stiff" in comparison to a full-bridge circuit, ie has fewer voltage reserves (too low no-load voltage).
  • Fig. 1 to explain the resulting consequences of the time course of the so-called intermediate circuit voltage U ZW , which is applied to the half-bridge circuit, and the time course of the current I L through the lamp and the voltage U L to the lamp.
  • the zero line for the voltage U L is marked "4", while the zero line for the current I L is labeled "3".
  • a control device which alternately turns on and off the first and second switches of the half-bridge circuit at a first frequency and during the off phase of one switch, the other switch with a square wave signal of a second frequency which is greater than the first frequency , and a predetermined duty cycle controls.
  • the first frequency is in the embodiment of Fig. 1 at 160 Hz, while the second frequency is at 90 kHz.
  • the duty cycle of the square wave signal of the second frequency is constant and is about 6 ⁇ s.
  • Fig. 1 Due to the real converter output characteristic, which is flatter in a half-bridge circuit than in a full-bridge circuit, the burning voltage of the high-pressure discharge lamp after commutation increases due to the extremely non-linear load, which is a high-pressure discharge lamp.
  • the lamp current I L rises after commutation only to about half the nominal value and then drops to zero due to plasma cooling and consequent further increase in the burning voltage.
  • a measurement of the lamp current I L is possible with reasonable effort in a half-bridge circuit only in one direction with respect to the first frequency. In the other direction, the monitoring would therefore be "blind” and could not counteract the increase in the burning voltage taking place during such a cycle.
  • a measurement of the lamp current in both current directions constantly or with a high sampling rate results in an undesirably high cost, especially if, as in the exemplary embodiment, the first frequency is relatively low.
  • the invention takes a different approach.
  • An increase of the burning voltage can be detected easily with a voltage measuring device. This can be done without much effort for both directions realize the first frequency. It is also based on keeping the first frequency substantially constant, but increasing the switch-on duration of the signal with which one switch of the half-bridge circuit is activated during the off phase of the other switch, at least for a predefinable time duration. This can cause an increase in the lamp current, which together with the increase in the operating voltage of the lamp leads to a power converted in the lamp, which is sufficient to prevent cooling of the plasma, which would cause the lamp to extinguish.
  • the second frequency is reduced. This offers the advantage that the half-bridge switches then turn on when the current in the lamp inductor is equal to zero. This reduces the switching losses in the half-bridge switches.
  • the second frequency is at least 15 kHz, while the first frequency is at most 500 Hz.
  • the predefinable time duration of the increase of the duty cycle is at least 30 ⁇ s, in particular at least 100 ⁇ s, and at most 3 ms, in particular at most 500 ⁇ s.
  • the voltage measuring device, the reference value device, the comparison device and the Control device dimensioned such that the period between the actual exceeding of the at least one threshold and the driving of the two switches of the half-bridge circuit with the increased duty cycle a maximum of 1 ms, in particular a maximum of 0.3 ms.
  • the at least one threshold may be a constant threshold; However, it may also be a limit that depends on the average voltage across the high pressure discharge lamp.
  • the latter realization takes into account an age-related shift of the standard burning voltage and makes it possible to detect a deviation independently of the life of the high-pressure discharge lamp.
  • the average voltage of the high-pressure discharge lamp is preferably updated at equidistant times, for example every 50 to 100 ms.
  • control device is designed to measure the increase of the duty cycle as a function of the measured voltage across the high-pressure discharge lamp and / or the time average of the voltage across the high-pressure discharge lamp and / or from the relevant limit value.
  • the control device can furthermore be designed to ignore an exceeding of the limit value by the voltage measured at the high-pressure discharge lamp after the commutation of the current by the high-pressure discharge lamp for a predefinable period of time, in particular for at least 10 ⁇ s. This will ensure that the lamp voltage is not removed until after the period of ignoring, i. H. after the overshoot of the lamp voltage resulting from the commutation is upgraded. This overshoot is to be distinguished from the undesirable increase in the Brennspannüng, which is possible due to its temporal limitation.
  • Preferred embodiments of the circuit arrangement according to the invention are characterized in that after an increase in the switch-on duration for the predetermined period of time the duty cycle is stepped or continuously reduced again to the initial value. In this case, several intermediate stages may be provided. By this measure, a undershoot in the lamp current can be reliably avoided.
  • control device may also be designed to increase the duty cycle stepwise or continuously.
  • Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of the structure of an embodiment of a circuit arrangement according to the invention.
  • the so-called intermediate circuit voltage U ZW is applied to the two switches S1, S2 in a half-bridge arrangement .
  • this is approximately 200 to 500 V and is usually generated from the mains voltage via a rectifier and a smoothing capacitor.
  • the half-bridge center HB is connected via a lamp inductor L D to a first terminal of the lamp LA.
  • a capacitor C 1 is connected, which is designed together with the lamp inductor L D to ignite the lamp LA.
  • I L the voltage drop across the lamp to U L.
  • the other terminal of the lamp LA is connected on the one hand via a coupling capacitor C K1 with the intermediate circuit voltage U ZW , on the other hand via a coupling capacitor C K2 with a reference potential, in this case ground.
  • the first lamp terminal is connected via a first voltage divider comprising the resistors R1 and R2, the second terminal of the lamp LA via a second voltage divider comprising the resistors R3 and R4 to the reference potential.
  • the respective taps of the two voltage dividers are connected to a voltage measuring device 10 for measuring the actual value of the voltage U L across the high-pressure discharge lamp LA for determining a voltage which is correlated with the lamp voltage U L.
  • a reference value device 12 provides at least one upper limit value for the voltage U L across the high-pressure discharge lamp LA to a comparison device 14.
  • the comparison device 14 is designed to provide the actual value of the voltage U L across the high-pressure discharge lamp LA, which is supplied by the voltage measuring device 10, with the at least one upper limit value for the Voltage U L across the high pressure discharge lamp LA, which provides the reference value device 12 to compare.
  • the circuit arrangement of Fig. 2 further comprises a control device 16 which is adapted to alternately turn on and off the first switch S1 and the second switch S2 of the bridge circuit at a first frequency, and during the off phase of the one switch S1, S2 the other switch S2, S1 with a Square wave signal of a second frequency, which is greater than the first frequency, and to control a predetermined duty cycle.
  • a control device 16 which is adapted to alternately turn on and off the first switch S1 and the second switch S2 of the bridge circuit at a first frequency, and during the off phase of the one switch S1, S2 the other switch S2, S1 with a Square wave signal of a second frequency, which is greater than the first frequency, and to control a predetermined duty cycle.
  • the comparison device determines that the actual value of the voltage U L across the high-pressure discharge lamp LA, in particular the amount thereof, is above the at least one limit value, it controls the control device 16 in such a way that it supplies the presettable duty cycle of the signal with which the one switch S1, S2 of the half-bridge circuit is driven during the off-phase of the other switch S2, S1, at least for a predeterminable period increased.
  • This increase in the switch-on time leads to an increase in the current I L through the high-pressure discharge lamp LA.
  • Fig. 3 shows the time course of various sizes, but it should be noted that compared to the representation of Fig. 1 the representation of Fig. 3 increased by a factor of 10.
  • the zero lines for the lamp voltage U L and the lamp current I L coincide and correspond to the center line of the representation, as shown to the left by the overlap of a 3 and a 4.
  • the lamp voltage U L is increased due to the non-linear characteristic of the high-pressure discharge lamp LA.
  • the lamp current I L remains well below its nominal value, in this case 0.4 A.
  • the lamp is operated with too little power and the plasma begins to cool.
  • the lamp current I L increases significantly to a value that is above the nominal value.
  • the burning voltage U L of the high-pressure discharge lamp decreases as a result of the current increase to normal values.
  • the duty cycle ⁇ t is lowered back to the normal value, so that the lamp is then continued to operate at its nominal current.
