Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the stepless control of electrical consumers according to the leading edge principle according to the preamble of claim 1 and the use of such a device.
  • Devices for the stepless control of electrical consumers according to the phase gating principle are known in principle and are described, inter alia, in DE-OS 23 62 225, DE-PS 24 29 763, DE-PS 25 43 370 and the article "electronic brightness controller with touch button" by Kern / Strehle, 8136 Component Report Siemens, year 15 / no. 5 (1977.10), pages 168 to 170.
  • Such devices usually have a semiconductor switching element, for example a triac, in the main current path. This semiconductor switching element is controlled by ignition pulses, so that the current in the main current path or the output current of this control device can be controlled as a function of the phase angle of the ignition pulse.
  • DE-OS 38 36 128 shows a brightness control circuit for incandescent lamps, a self-blocking field-effect transistor being provided instead of a triac.
  • a transformer can be provided to convert the voltage.
  • the control device feeds the primary winding of the transformer as if the primary winding was a normal load.
  • the actual load operated with a different operating voltage is then arranged in the secondary circuit of this transformer.
  • Such a burden can be, for example, a halogen lamp which is operated at low voltage and is fed from a public network with, for example, 220 V AC voltage via a transformer and can be steplessly controlled by a control device.
  • a heat sensor being arranged on the transformer, for example, which prevents further ignition pulses on the control device when a permissible transformer temperature is exceeded. It is also conceivable to detect the current flowing in the electrical consumer and to switch it off when a permissible maximum current is exceeded.
  • DE-OS 38 39 373 describes a brightness control circuit according to DE 38 36 128 with a protection and limiting circuit, the output current of the brightness control circuit being measured and being switched off when a limit value is exceeded.
  • protective circuits do not always respond reliably in the event of a malfunction in the event of an unfavorable current conduction angle.
  • a reliable circuit of this type contains a fuse, which must be replaced in the event of a lamp failure, so that such a circuit is very uncomfortable.
  • a device with a semiconductor switching element for the stepless control of electrical consumers according to the phase gating principle is conceivable, which switches off safely at high currents caused by the type of load, without the need to replace a fuse.
  • further control of the semiconductor switching element is prevented when the current flow duration of a half-wave exceeds a predetermined, maximum permissible value.
  • an impermissibly high current only occurs in one half-wave, which usually does not yet lead to the destruction of components.
  • the object of the invention is to improve known devices for controlling electrical consumers in such a way that the above-mentioned faults can be prevented with sufficient certainty without an impermissibly high current flowing.
  • the invention is based on the consideration that impermissibly high currents due to an inductive load component when the load is controlled by a device with a semiconductor switching element for the stepless control of electrical consumers according to the phase gating principle can only occur if the period of time during which a semiconductor contained in the control device occurs Switching element leads a current corresponding to a current half-wave exceeds a value based on the supply voltage to be controlled, which corresponds to an angle of 180 °.
  • a device recognizes these two circumstances before the corresponding drive pulses are switched to the semiconductor switching element and can thus prevent the semiconductor switching element from being driven before a disturbingly large current flows.
  • control device may be desirable for the control device to automatically check the load state after an interruption of the control in the event of a load-related malfunction to be expected and for the control to automatically resume when an allowable load state is present. It may also be desirable for the control device to automatically carry out a certain number of start-up attempts after the control has been interrupted, however, after several unsuccessful start-up attempts, i.e. if the load condition has not normalized within a certain period of time, a further start-up is only possible through external action. It may also be necessary to switch on manually after a fault.
  • a control device can be designed so that it can either be switched on again only by external action after the control of the semiconductor switching element has been interrupted, or that it switches on again automatically when it detects a normal load state, or that it is present over a certain period of time when an impermissible load state is present no longer switches on automatically but must be switched on by external action.
  • an AC voltage source U feeds an electrical consumer 2.
  • a transformer 3 is shown here, the primary winding of which is fed by the AC voltage source U and to whose secondary winding an ohmic consumer, for example a lamp 4, is connected.
  • the primary winding of the transformer 3 is in this case directly connected to a connection terminal of the AC voltage source U and connected via a control device 1 to the other connection terminal of this AC voltage source U.
  • a semiconductor switching element 5 switched into the current path between the alternating voltage source U and the electrical load 2 in such a way that it can control the current flow.
  • a triac is shown as a semiconductor switching element 5 in FIG. This triac is controlled by a control circuit 6 via an ignition pulse output terminal b.
  • the control circuit 6 is connected via a connecting terminal a on one side of the semiconductor switching element 5 and connected via a connecting terminal c on the other side of the semiconductor switching element 5.
  • the control circuit includes a detector F for detecting the polarity of the instantaneous output voltage of the voltage source U or the polarity of the instantaneous value of the alternating voltage to be switched by the semiconductor switching element 5.
  • Such a detector F provides a logic signal at its output, which is dependent on the instantaneous polarity of the supply voltage of the electrical consumer to be controlled.
  • a conceivable embodiment of such a detector consists of a Schmitt trigger fed by the alternating voltage source U or the polarity of the instantaneous value of the alternating voltage to be switched by the semiconductor switching element 5, which thus detects whether the alternating voltage to be switched has a positive or a negative half-wave . If, as shown in FIG. 1, this Schmitt trigger detects the voltage across the semiconductor switching element 5 via the connection terminals a and c, its hysteresis must be designed in such a way that the previously detected information is received at the Schmitt trigger output when the semiconductor switching element is activated remains.
  • control circuit 6 contains an ignition pulse pre-generator circuit VS which, depending on a preselected variable, such as, for example, the power of a motor or the brightness of a lamp and in dependence on the supply voltage provided by the AC voltage source U, generates ignition pulses with a specific control angle, based on the Zero crossing of the supply voltage, so to speak as a proposal at its output.
  • the ignition pulse pre-generator circuit 6 can be implemented in a known manner, for example as it is in devices according to the above-mentioned state of the art Technology can be used. In such ignition pulse pre-generator circuits 6, the phase information of the AC voltage to be switched is often simulated via a phase locked loop, a so-called PLL, which then controls the phase angle in dependence on certain parameters.
  • the signal output of the ignition pulse pre-generator circuit VS and the signal output of the detector F are each connected to an input of a decision stage ES.
  • This decision stage ES is designed in such a way that when two ignition pulse suggestions occur at the output of the ignition pulse pre-generator circuit VS within one half-wave of the supply voltage and in the absence of a ignition pulse proposal at the output of the ignition pulse pre-generator circuit VS during at least one output at one output Lock signal delivers.
  • the control circuit 6 in FIG. 1 also includes a switching and driver unit DS, the output of which is connected to the ignition pulse output terminal b and thus to the control input of the semiconductor switching element 5.
  • An input of the switching and driver unit DS is connected to the output of the ignition pulse pre-generator circuit VS, another input of the switching and driver unit DS is connected to an output of the decision stage ES which provides a blocking signal in the event of a fault.
  • the switching and driver unit DS is designed in such a way that it may switch the ignition pulse suggestions provided at the output of the ignition pulse pre-generator circuit VS to the ignition pulse output terminal b, and at least when a blocking signal is present at its input connected to the decision stage ES, switching the Proposed ignition pulse of the ignition pulse pre-generator circuit to the ignition pulse output terminal b prevented.
  • FIG. 1 shows a particular exemplary embodiment of a control circuit 6, in which a holding stage HS is also included, which independently of the interruption of the control carried out by the switching and driver unit DS in a malfunction recognized by the decision stage ES of the semiconductor switching element 5 can also act on the ignition pulse pre-generator circuit VS. If such a holding stage HS is provided, it can prevent, for example, the issuance of further ignition pulse suggestions by the ignition pulse pre-generator circuit VS at least for a certain time or until the occurrence of any particular event.
  • the automatic restart of a device according to the invention can also be controlled with the aid of a holding stage HS, which is activated by the decision stage ES after a malfunction has been recognized.
  • a holding stage HS In order to interrupt the output of an ignition pulse to the ignition pulse output terminal b after the ignition pulse suggestion has been made by the ignition pulse pre-generator circuit VS and the malfunction subsequently determined by the decision stage ES, such a holding stage HS is not necessary.
  • a holding stage HS can also be part of the decision stage ES or, if an output signal is fed to the decision stage of the ignition pulse pre-generator circuit VS, it can be part of the ignition pulse pre-generator circuit VS.
  • phase information of the AC voltage to be switched is simulated via a PLL which controls the phase gating angles of the ignition pulse suggestions provided by the ignition pulse pre-generator circuit 6, it is recommended for safe operation of a device according to the invention that the phase gating angles of the ignition pulses provided at the ignition pulse output terminal b can be changed continuously or in stages from a small current flow value to a larger current flow value until the desired phase angle is reached, ie the control device 1 is not switched on immediately with the desired phase angle.
  • a small current flow causes a phase gating angle of almost 180 °, based on the previous zero crossing of the AC voltage to be switched.
  • the phase locked loop of the ignition pulse pre-generator circuit VS can namely only one Recognize zero crossing of the AC voltage to be switched when the current through the semiconductor switching element 5 has become zero or is almost zero.
  • the zero crossing of the AC voltage to be switched and the zero crossing of the switched current are the same.
  • the current zero crossing is delayed compared to the zero crossing of the AC voltage to be switched. The delay is dependent on the inductive portion of the load and on the phase angle of the ignition pulse that controls the semiconductor switching element 5.
  • the zero crossings detected by the phase locked loop depend on the type of load and on the phase gating angle with which the semiconductor switching element 5 is driven.
  • phase gating angle with which the semiconductor switching element 5 is driven is dependent on the zero crossings detected by the phase locked loop of the ignition pulse pre-generator circuit VS.
  • This interaction which occurs at least in control devices 1 connected in two-wire arrangements, can advantageously be used in circuits according to the invention.
  • the behavior of a control device according to the invention for various load conditions is considered below, on the condition that the control device starts up in the form of a so-called soft start after each switch-on, which means that each time the control device 1 is switched on, the control circuit 6 fires pulses to the semiconductor switching element 5 emits whose phase gating angle is changed such that immediately after switching on, the current carrying time of the semiconductor switching element is short per half-wave and then continuously or gradually increases until the desired phase gating angle and thus the desired current flow in the semiconductor switching element 5 is reached.
  • control circuit 6 controls the semiconductor switching element 5 with increasing current without problems until the desired phase angle and thus the desired current is reached.
  • control device 1 Even if a control device 1 according to the invention controls an ohmic-inductive load or an inductive load as an electrical consumer 2 and the desired phase gating angle would not lead to an impermissibly high current when the selected consumer is controlled, the control device 1 also starts up smoothly and the control device also operates the corresponding load at the corresponding, uncritical phase angle.
  • the desired phase gating angle would lead to an impermissibly high current, that is to say, at this phase gating angle either two firing pulses would be delivered to the semiconductor switching element 5 within one half-wave of the AC voltage to be controlled, or no firing pulse would be given to the semiconductor switching element, a soft start should be possible until a critical phase gating angle is reached if the phase-locked loop in the ignition pulse pre-generator circuit VS would snap directly onto the output voltage of the supplying AC voltage source U, which is possible with a three-wire arrangement.
  • control device 1 and the electrical consumer 2 are connected in a two-wire arrangement and there is the above-mentioned interaction between the alternating voltage to be switched and the phase angle of the ignition pulses switched to the semiconductor switching element, a control oscillation occurs in control devices 1 according to the invention with a phase locked loop, which oscillation occurs in a phase oscillation of the phase locked loop.
  • the decision stage ES recognizes a network half-wave without an ignition pulse shortly after the start of the soft start. Since this is a criterion for the detection of a faulty operating state, the semiconductor switching element is controlled further via the switching and driver unit DS 5 at least temporarily prevented.

If a malfunction is detected due to a defective incandescent lamp and the control of the semiconductor switching element 5 was prevented in a device according to the invention, it may be desirable that after the defective incandescent lamp is replaced by an intact incandescent lamp, it does not immediately after being inserted into the socket is controlled. In this case, it makes sense that the control circuit 6 does not switch on again automatically after an accident occurs.
