Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a circuit arrangement for operating at least one electric lamp and at least one LED (Light Emitting Diode), comprising an inverter with a bridge circuit having at least a first and a second series-connected bridge transistor, wherein between the first and the second bridge transistor a center of the bridge circuit is defined, and a lamp supply unit for supplying the electric lamp with energy from the bridge circuit, which comprises a supply line with an inductance, via which the center of the bridge circuit is coupled to a first terminal for the electric lamp.
  • LED Light Emitting Diode
  • the basic problem underlying the present invention is that in order to achieve special optical effects, for example for realizing an emergency light or night light function of a lighting unit or for varying the color temperature, both electric lamps, for example fluorescent lamps, and LEDs are operated in a lighting unit.
  • two ballasts are used in the prior art, namely a ballast for the LEDs and a second for the fluorescent lamps.
  • both ballasts are connected by the manufacturer of such a lighting unit via corresponding lines to the mains connection of the lighting unit.
  • a disadvantage of this known solution is the costs incurred by the manufacturer of such a lighting unit cabling and the costs incurred by the two ballasts in such a lighting unit space.
  • the object of the present invention therefore consists in further developing the circuit arrangement mentioned in the introduction in such a way that a reduction of the cabling effort as well as a reduction of the space requirement of the unit (s) used to drive the electric lamps or the LEDs is made possible.
  • the present invention is based on the recognition that the disadvantages of the prior art can be overcome if the at least one electric lamp and the at least one LED are operated with one and the same ballast. Because this only requires a ballast to be connected to the power supply. On the other hand, such a ballast requires less space than the two ballasts that were necessary in the prior art approach, especially when certain assemblies are used both for the operation of the at least one electric lamp and for the operation of the at least one LED. To realize the night-light function, in which only the at least one LED should be lit, the bridge circuit can be operated at a frequency which is higher than the frequency in normal operation, but in which the ignition condition for the electric lamp is not yet met. An optional preheater for the coils should be deactivated.
  • an ohmic resistance and / or an inductance can be connected in series with the at least one LED.
  • a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the LED supply unit has an input and an output, wherein the input and the output are galvanically isolated from each other in terms of their potentials.
  • the potential separation ensures that no direct current is transferred from the input of the LED supply unit to the output of the LED supply unit. This measure makes it easy to comply with the safety regulations for the operation of LEDs provided for some applications or in various countries.
  • the LED supply unit comprises a transformer, which is coupled to the supply line.
  • this results in an alternating voltage with a constant amplitude on the primary side of the transformer and consequently also on the secondary side of the transformer.
  • the amplitude of the AC voltage can be set on the secondary side.
  • the voltage on the secondary side of the transformer results over the characteristic of at least one LED, a typical current through the LED and thus a certain color temperature.
  • a particularly space-saving realization can be achieved if the inductance in the supply line of the electric lamp represents the primary winding of this transformer.
  • a voltage limiting device in particular a Zener diode, is preferably connected in parallel with the at least one LED.
  • a voltage limiting device in particular a Zener diode, is preferably connected in parallel with the at least one LED.
  • the LED supply unit further comprises a rectifier which is designed to be connected to the output of the LED supply unit, i. H. at the terminal, where the at least one LED is connected to the LED supply unit to provide a rectified signal.
  • a rectifier which is designed to be connected to the output of the LED supply unit, i. H. at the terminal, where the at least one LED is connected to the LED supply unit to provide a rectified signal.
  • a smoothing inductor can be serially inserted in the current path of the LEDs.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a first embodiment of a circuit arrangement according to the invention, wherein for reasons of clarity, only the relevant with regard to the invention components are shown.
  • a first switch S1 realized by a first bridge transistor and a second switch S2 realized by a second bridge transistor
  • U ZW applied which, as is well known, is generated from the mains voltage and usually of the order of 400 V is.
  • a half-bridge circuit is used as the bridge circuit.
  • the invention can also be practiced using a full bridge circuit.
  • the switches S1 and S2 are driven in a known manner for the realization of an inverter.
  • a center M of the bridge circuit is defined.
  • a lamp supply unit 10 which serves to supply an electric lamp LP. It comprises a coupling capacitor C1, an inductance L1 and a resonance capacitor C2.
  • an LED supply unit 12 which is designed to supply the LED with energy.
  • the LED supply unit 12 comprises a transformer Tr with a transmission ratio U whose secondary side is coupled to a rectifier comprising the diodes D1 to D4, wherein the output of the rectifier is coupled to the LED.
  • the inductance L1 in the supply line of the electric lamp LP the primary winding of the transformer Tr.
  • the transformer Tr To implement the transformer Tr while the secondary transformer winding is applied to the inductor L1.
  • a voltage limiting device in this case a Zener diode ZI arranged.
