Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for protecting an LED or a group of LEDs against overheating and high through-current and a circuit arrangement for carrying out such a method.
- the invention also relates to an LED lamp with such a circuit.
- the LEDs can u.a. be organic and / or inorganic LEDs. LEDs are usually grouped because of their low operating voltage (3 -5 volts) and because of the relatively low light output through series and parallel connection. If, in a series connection, an LED fails due to an interruption failure, then the function of the whole group is inevitably affected. To counteract this undesirable effect, a protective circuit is known from EP 2009 960 A2, which in a
- the protection circuit is provided with a bridging circuit part for the LED, which is controlled by a trigger circuit part in the form of a zener diode.
- the present invention is concerned with another problem encountered with LEDs or groups of LEDs, namely with overheating, highlighted, for example, by overcurrent, damage to the LED, etc.
- the object of the invention is to counteract the occurrence of the above influencing variables.
- the invention proposes a method for protecting an LED or a group of LEDs, in particular against overheating and high throughput current.
- the temperature of the LED or the group of LEDs is detected indirectly or directly.
- the LED or group of LEDs is electrically bypassed and / or their feedthrough current is reduced.
- the protection mode (bridging or the reduction of the through-current) can be canceled again if the detected, for example, measured temperature falls below a switch-on threshold again.
- the turn-on threshold may be different than the turn-off threshold, here equal to or preferably less than the turn-off threshold.
- the criteria for canceling this protection mode are preferably more complex, so that it may not be necessary to fall short of the switch-off threshold. For example. It may be necessary for the temperature to reach an operating setpoint or a defined value between the setpoint and switch-off threshold. The temperature threshold for canceling the protection mode can therefore be lower than the value for switching on the protection mode (hysteresis control).
- the temperature could be measured again just below the shutdown threshold, then the override would be removed and after a short time the temperature could possibly rise above the shutdown threshold again and the system might shut down because of multiple overshoots.
- the cancellation of the protection mode can therefore be regulated by a hysteresis.
- the bridging or reduction of the passage current can be maintained for a certain minimum time.
- the bridging time, or the time of reduction of the through-current, can be made longer than the time required for the cooling of the LED or the group of LEDs.
- the bridging or reduction of the through-current can be permanently maintained if the measured temperature repeatedly exceeds the switch-off threshold, in particular within a given time window. Bridging or reducing the
- Continuity current can be maintained permanently if the occurrence of Matterhit tion case met predetermined shutdown criteria.
- the mentioned shutdown criteria can be, for example:
- the bridging or reduction of the through-current can be displayed in the form of, for example, an acoustic or visual error signal. It can also be a message via a bus line to a control center.
- the optical display can be realized by activating an LED, preferably a red LED, in the bypass path or the current reduction path.
- the protection mode may be restricted to a portion of the LEDs or groups of LEDs of the plurality.
- the temperature measurement can be done by means of a temperature sensor.
- the bridging can be done by a thyristor.
- the invention also relates to a circuit arrangement for protecting an LED or a group of LEDs, comprising: an LED protector connected in parallel with the LED or group of LEDs, which contains a temperature sensor, a logic circuit part and a bypass element, wherein the logic circuit portion evaluates the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor (thus generally: direct or indirect temperature sensing element) and causes the by-pass element to bypass the LED array of LEDs or reduce their through current if the measured temperature is a predetermined shutdown Threshold exceeds.
- an LED protector connected in parallel with the LED or group of LEDs, which contains a temperature sensor, a logic circuit part and a bypass element, wherein the logic circuit portion evaluates the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor (thus generally: direct or indirect temperature sensing element) and causes the by-pass element to bypass the LED array of LEDs or reduce their through current if the measured temperature is a predetermined shutdown Threshold exceeds.
- the bypass element can be a thyristor.
- the logic circuit part may be programmed to switch the bypass element to a non-conductive state, and thus the bypass
- the logic circuit part may be programmed to maintain bridging the LED or group of LEDs or reducing their through current for a certain minimum time.
- the logic circuit part may be programmed such that the time of the bypass or the reduction of the through-current is made longer than the time required for the cooling of the LED or the group of LEDs.
- the logic circuit part may be programmed to permanently maintain the bypass current reduction when the measured Temperature repeatedly exceeds the shutdown threshold.
- the logic circuit part may be programmed so that the bridging or the reduction of the
- the mentioned shutdown criteria can be, for example:
- an overheating event counter can be reset ("reset") for certain events (restarting, etc.).
- Means for generating an error signal may be provided which become effective with the lock-up.
- the means for generating an error signal may have a - preferably red - LED or other lighting means arranged in the bridging path or current reduction path.
- the protection Circuitry be provided only at a part of the LEDs or groups of LEDs from the plurality.
- the invention also relates to an LED lamp, comprising a protective circuit of the type mentioned above and at least one LED illuminant, preferably at least one white LED.
- the LED lamp can be, for example, a retrofit LED lamp, an LED module, an LED spot, etc.
- the solution is that the through-current is reduced by a protected LED or group of LEDs or driven by bridging to zero, if directly or indirectly, but preferably by a real temperature measurement, an increase of the operating temperature over a predetermined shutdown - Threshold is detected. This inevitably results in a cooling of the LED or the group of LEDs.
- the reduction should preferably be maintained for a minimum time such that cooling below a turn-on threshold is safely achieved.
- the turn-on threshold may be less than or equal to the turn-off threshold.
- the temperature of the LED or group of LEDs should be measured and the Measurement result for controlling the shutdown or bridging time to be exploited.
- an error signal is preferably generated simultaneously with the reduction or bridging, which can be signaled to a control center via a bus line, for example. But it is also possible to limit the error signal locally and generate it as an optical or acoustic signal.
- one of the LEDs or groups of LEDs considered here is part of an overall circuit with many LEDs or groups of LEDs into which they are connected in series, it is sufficient if only a partial number of LEDs or groups of LEDs is protected in the manner previously described , This is because the reduction of the passage current of the number of partitions of LEDs or groups of LEDs inevitably also results in a reduction of the through-current of the overall circuit.
- a current protector connected in parallel with the LED or group of LEDs to be protected
- the logic circuit portion evaluates the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor and causes the bypass element to bypass the LED or group of LEDs or to reduce their through current when the measured temperature exceeds a predetermined turn-off threshold.
- a bypass element for example, a thyristor is suitable, which is switchable between a conducting and a non-conducting state. The bypass or current reduction takes place when the thyristor is controlled by the logic circuit part in the conductive state.
- Pulse width modulation it is also possible with a thyristor to cancel the bridging or current reduction.
- the temperature sensor should be physically in close contact with the LED or group of LEDs to be protected in order to ensure good heat transfer.
- FIG. 1 shows a series connection of individual LEDs
- Figure 2 shows a group of LEDs, with a
- the series circuit shown in Figure 1 consists of three LEDs 1, 2 and 3, of which only the middle LED 2 to be protected against overheating or against the overheating causing overcurrent. These LEDs (or even OLEDs) can be white LEDs and / or monochromatic LEDs.
- an LED protector 4 is connected in parallel. This causes upon detection of overheating of the LED 2, that the LED 2 is bridged, so that the current flowing through the LED series circuit through-current flows through the LED protector 4, because this is very low in the activated state and the LED 2 to be protected practically shorts. This bridging state is maintained at least until the LED 2 is safely cooled down again.
- the reconnection can be done automatically when cooling below a switch-on threshold temperature detection, but also targeted for a predetermined or adaptive (eg, dependent on the previous history) minimum time delay.
- the LED protector 4 can be kept in its activated low-resistance state after detection of overheating a predetermined minimum time, which is so dimensioned that a cooling is guaranteed with certainty. In the event that the occurrence of the overheating case meets certain criteria, the LED protector 4 may be programmed so that a re-switching is not excluded in the inactive high-resistance state.
- shutdown criteria can be, for example:
- the LED protector 4 it is also possible to design the LED protector 4 so that it can not only switch between two extreme states (high-impedance and low-resistance), but that it can be switched from one degree to another the overheating dependent reduction of the passage current through the LED 2 to be protected causes.
- the more specifically implemented LED protector 4 shown in FIG. 2 is here connected in parallel to a group 5 of LEDs which are arranged on a common substrate. It contains a logic circuit part 6, a temperature sensor 9, a thyristor 7 and an error indication LED 8.
- the temperature sensor 9 is in close heat-conducting contact with the group 5 of LEDs supporting substrate.
- the measurement signal generated by the temperature sensor 9 is supplied to the logic circuit part 6 and evaluated by the latter for controlling the thyristor 7.
- the logic circuit part 6 controls the previously non-conductive thyristor 7 to conduct.
- the thyristor 7 lies in a bridging path to the group 5 of LEDs and thereby practically forms a bypass element.
- the fault indicator LED 8 shown in FIG. 2 is connected in series with the thyristor 7. When the thyristor 7 becomes conductive, only the resistance of the fault indication LED 8 is effective in the bypass path. A sufficiently high voltage is now dropped across the fault indicator LED 8 so that it lights up and thus signals the error optically. The light generated by her falls through a window 10 and is visible from outside the LED protector 4.
- the logic circuit part can extract its operating voltage from the bridging path in the manner shown.
