Definitions

  • Circuit arrangement for operating a high-pressure gas discharge slam with alternating current
  • the invention relates to a circuit arrangement for operating a high-pressure gas discharge lamp with alternating current of the type defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • AI circuit arrangements for starting and operating AC high pressure gas discharge lamps are known, in which the AC current is obtained from a DC voltage source.
  • a DC / DC converter is used to generate a stabilized and / or power-controlled DC voltage from the DC voltage of the DC voltage source.
  • the alternating current required for operation is generated from this with the aid of a bridge circuit. It is obvious that a considerable cost-intensive effort is required as a result of this, which also requires a not inconsiderable amount of space.
  • REPLACEMENT BLA ⁇ (RULE 26)
  • the components used are very numerous and, on the other hand, the components used are or must be large in themselves, since they must be designed for operation at low frequencies. This is disadvantageous in terms of the cost-effective construction and operation of such a circuit arrangement for starting and operating a high-pressure gas discharge lamp.
  • both the start and the operation are carried out in the so-called resonance mode.
  • the starting frequency i.e. when the lamp is ignited, is around 80 kHz and the burning or
  • Operating frequency is around 8 to 16 kHz.
  • the lamp is operated in the so-called wobbling DC mode, i.e. the direct current is always reversed.
  • the polarity reversal frequency is about 400 Hz.
  • the lamp is ignited by a separate pulse igniter.
  • the lamps used are so-called xenon lamps or metal halide lamps, the high pressure of which is around 80 bar. To ignite the arc, a high voltage of 24 kV is necessary in view of the worst tolerance conditions. The voltage required for burning is around 85 volts.
  • the circuit arrangement according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the advantage of directly generating the operating alternating current with a single converter. High currents on the primary side are avoided. In addition, no bridge connection is necessary. On the one hand, this saves a large number of components and, on the other hand, has the advantage that the components themselves can be made simpler. Ultimately, this saves costs and space.
  • the AC operating voltage is obtained directly from the DC voltage of the DC voltage supply source by means of a converter which is constructed as an autotransformer, the primary winding of the converter with the DC voltage source, the intermediate tap of the converter with a controlled switch and the secondary winding of the converter is connected to the high-pressure gas discharge lamp via a capacitor.
  • the primary and secondary windings of the converter are designed to be closely coupled to one another.
  • the transmission ratio between the secondary and the primary winding of the converter is selected so that it reflects the ratio between the AC operating voltage and the DC voltage of the DC voltage supply source.
  • the controlled switch is clocked, in particular with a frequency of 10 to 100 kHz.
  • the controlled switch is a MOSFET transistor.
  • the controlled switch is damped, in particular with the series connection of a resistor and a capacitor in parallel with the switching path.
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically the circuit arrangement according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 the basic circuit diagram of the circuit arrangement according to the invention is shown schematically.
  • This circuit arrangement for generating an alternating voltage in particular the operating voltage of a high-pressure gas discharge lamp in a motor vehicle headlight, contains a converter 1 with a primary winding 2 and a secondary winding 3, which are closely coupled to one another. These two windings 2 and 3 form an autotransformer.
  • the primary winding 2 is connected at its one connection to a DC voltage source 4.
  • the intermediate tap 5 of the converter 1 it is connected on the one hand to the first connection of the secondary winding 3 and on the other hand to a controlled switch 6.
  • the controlled switch 6 connects the intermediate tap 5 with the negative pole of the DC voltage source 4.
  • the second connection of the secondary winding 3 is via a capacitor 7 with one
  • REPLACEMENT BLA ⁇ (RULE 26) Output load forming high pressure gas discharge lamp 8 connected.
  • the AC output voltage U A is applied across it, ie the operating voltage.
  • no ignition device for the high-pressure gas discharge lamp 8 is shown.
  • the transmission ratio between the secondary winding 3 and the primary winding 2 of the converter 1 is advantageously chosen so that it reflects the ratio of the internal voltage U A and the direct voltage U B of the direct voltage source 4.
  • DC voltage source 4 is the battery of the motor vehicle and has, for example, the nominal value of 12 V and at which the operating voltage U A of the high-pressure gas discharge lamp is approximately 85 V, the transmission ratio can be between 4 and 8 taking into account all deviations.
  • the controlled switch 6 is clocked in the burning mode.
  • the switch 6 is designed as a MOSFET transistor.
  • the drain D of the switch 6 is connected to the intermediate tap 5 of the converter 1 and the source S to the negative terminal of the DC voltage source 4.
  • the control pulses necessary for clocking are applied to the gate G by a control circuit 9.
  • the switch 6 is damped to avoid electromagnetic radiation. In the illustrated embodiment with the MOSFET transistor 6 is for this purpose parallel to the switching path drain-source
  • REPLACEMENT BLA ⁇ (RULE 26)
  • the mode of operation and the behavior of the circuit arrangement according to the invention is as follows:
  • switch 6 When switch 6 is switched on, which is clocked in burning mode, the clock frequency being for example between 10 and 100 kHz, a negative voltage arises at the output of converter 1 in the switched-on state. This negative voltage depends on the voltage U B of the DC voltage source 4 and the transmission ratio of the converter 1. During this period, the converter 1 has voltage characteristics because it is a flux converter.
  • the switch 6 When the switch 6 is switched off, a freewheeling voltage is formed in the switched-off state, which depends on the voltage of the capacitor 9, which has already been set beforehand, on the high-pressure gas discharge lamp 8 forming the load resistor and on the magnetization of the primary winding 2 which has taken place previously. During this period, the converter has 1 current characteristic because it is a flyback converter.
  • Circuit arrangement or the converter designed in this way is therefore neither a purely current nor a purely voltage characteristic.
  • the serious disadvantages of the voltage characteristic have no effect.

Abstract

Un circuit destiné à produire une tension alternative, notamment la tension de décharge d'une lampe à décharge de gaz haute pression dans un phare de véhicule automobile, comporte un convertisseur (1) doté d'un enroulement primaire (2) et d'un enroulement secondaire (3) étroitement couplés l'un à l'autre. Ces deux enroulements forment un autotransformateur. Une des terminaisons de l'enroulement primaire (2) est reliée à une source de tension c.c. (4). Son autre terminaison, la prise intermédiaire (5) du convertisseur, est reliée d'un côté à l'enroulement secondaire et de l'autre à un commutateur commandé (6). Ce commutateur commandé relie la prise intermédiaire au pôle négatif de la source de tension c.c.. La deuxième terminaison de l'enroulement secondaire (3) est reliée par l'intermédiaire d'un condensateur (7) à une lampe à décharge de gaz haute pression (8) constituant la charge de sortie. La tension alternative de sortie (UA), c'est-à-dire la tension de décharge, est appliquée aux bornes de cette lampe. Le commutateur est amorti par le montage en série d'une résistance (10) et d'un condensateur (11).
