Detailed description of the invention
The prior art ballast: Fig. 1 illustrates and forms the at different levels successively of prior art type ballast.As seen from the figure, the input of described ballast is connected to ac power cable, and with line AC mark, the output of ballast is added on the high-intensity discharge lamp, marks with lamp HID.This lamp can be that essential igniting is to start metal halid lamp or the high-intensity gas discharge lamp of any other type, for example mercury or the sodium vapour lamp of arc discharge.
In the electric ballast of prior art shown in Figure 1, and in ballast shown in Figure 3, the concrete numerical value of electric current and voltage depends on the character of the power line that ballast is connected and the wattage rated value of the HID lamp that ballast makes it work.Therefore, ac power cable is 230V, and it is 120V that the voltage and current numerical value during 50 weeks is different from ac power cable, the voltage and current numerical value during 60 weeks.
The power supply of AC line is by the first order 10 feed-ins of electric ballast, and this is a RFI filter, any radio frequency interference that filtering is transmitted on power line or RF noise.The output of RFI filter stage 10 is added on the all-wave diode bridge rectifier 11.Described rectifier produces the pulsation dc voltage of not voltage stabilizing, and its waveform W is shown in Fig. 2.
Waveform W is made up of the continuous sequence of the half-wave sine pulse P with identical polar and amplitude.Each pulse P rises to peak level from reference level R, gets back to described reference level then.The umber of pulse of per second is the twice of ac power cable electric voltage frequency.Therefore, if ac power cable is 230V, 50 contours, then full-wave rectification is output as 100 pulses of per second, and peak amplitude is near 380 volts.Below the peak level of pulse P 230 volts RMS level, its reflection apparent power level.Between the continuous positive pulse of ripple W the paddy V that weakens power.
Not voltage stabilizing pulsation dc voltage feed-in power factor correcting (PFC) level 12 from bridge rectifier 11, it is leading or lag behind the degree of voltage that described power factor correction stage detects input current, proofread and correct then, the direction and the degree of proofreading and correct should be able to make rectifier that high power factor rated value is arranged, and for example 95%.
Homophase DC output from the pulsation of the not voltage stabilizing of PFC level 12 is added on energy storage capacitor (SC) level 13, make the charging of its capacitor and with regularly time interval discharge, produce stable DC output, wherein the paddy V among the pulsating wave W is filled up effectively, and the power of SC level generation is near peak value like this.The function of SC level 13 is on-Line Voltage storage power when being lower than the RMS level.
Power from SC level 13 is added to power control (PC) level 14, in this one-level, detects the variable power that is provided to the HID lamp, produces and offers the control signal of the power of HID lamp in order to adjusting, so that power is maintained on the wattage rated value of lamp.So,, be exactly 60 watts power basically by rectifier to its firm power that provides if the HID light fixture has 60 watts rated value.
The output feed-in inverter stage 15 of PC level 14, this inverter stage produces square-wave pulse, is added on the resonant circuit in the starter 16 of lamp.During work, from the effect of the resonant circuit of the amplitude in the square-wave pulse forward position that inverter stage is come out sudden change impacts-excitation starter, thereby generation high voltage surge is lighted a fire the HID lamp, the generation arc discharge.
So the ballast of prior art has the high power factor rated value, can make HID lamp igniting and the work related effectively with it.But multistage required magnetic of ballast and power component must be assemblied in the shell to create an independently unit, and these numbers of elements are too many, can not create small and light device.
The present invention: electric ballast of the present invention shown in Figure 3, its structure and prior art ballast shown in Figure 1 are basic identical, have only an important difference.Same element is represented with same abbreviation and numbering in these two kinds of electric ballasts.In the ballast shown in Figure 3, PFC level 12 included among Fig. 1, SC level 13 and PC level 14 are incorporated in the single circuit, this circuit has less magnetic and power component compared with independent required magnetic at different levels and power component.
Like this, the PFC that makes up among Fig. 3, SC and PC level have only three mosfet transistors as electronic switch S1, S2 and S3.Switch S 1 realizes the PFC function of ballast, and switch S 2 realizes SC and PC function simultaneously, and switch S 3 is still as the control of PC power.
Mosfet transistor is a kind of metal-oxide field-effect semiconductor, is characterized in the switching speed height.Because electronic switch S1, S2 and S3 by the high frequency control impuls excitation of frequency up to 50KHZ (with higher), are vital so switch must switch on and off at a high speed simultaneously in ballast circuit.
In typical structure of the present invention, the pulsation DC of bridge rectifier 11 output (its waveform W is shown in Fig. 2) is added on the electronic switch S1 of power factor correction circuit.This switch is driven by the high frequency square wave pulse T1 that pulse generator 17 produces, so pulse generator 17 is the devices as periodic excitation switch S 1.The all available integrated circuit (IC) chip of other pulse generator that is comprised in this pulse generator and the ballast circuit constitutes.
Be added on the grid of MOSFET electronic switch S1 and in the output of bridge rectifier 11, done pulse width modulation according to the control signal CS1 that derives from series resistor device 18 with the periodic square wave pulse T1 that high frequency speed switches on and off this switch from generator 17.Input current will flow to power factor correction circuit through resistor 18, so resistor 18 can detect the phase deviation of described electric current and voltage as the input current transducer.
The pulse width modulation that is added to the square-wave pulse T1 on the grid of MOSFET electronic switch S1 has changed the duty cycle of switch motion, the i.e. ratio of the ON of switch (connection) time and OFF (disconnection) time.Owing to the duty cycle as input current and voltage time phase the upper deviation degree and the function of direction change, switch S 1 just can be used to realize the power factor correcting through the pulsation DC power of described switch.
In the output of electronic switch S1 the pulsation DC power of overpower factor correction make capacitor by pulsation DC ripple W charging by choke 19 folk prescriptions of connecting energy storage capacitor 21 to ground feed-in capacitor charging/discharging circuit with diode 20.Choke 19 is used as low pass filter, and its useful direct current that is output as is identical with the power rectifier filter.
The energy storage capacitor circuit is used for modulating the pulsation DC power that is added on the described circuit, and method is the paddy V that effectively fills among the pulsating wave W.This operation is realized by MOSFET electronic switch S2, electronic switch S2 provides a discharge path by diode 22 during by pulse excitation, arrives node N in the capacitor circuits output so the discharge folk prescription of capacitor 21 flows through with electronic switch S2 and choke 19 diode in series 22 to ground.Like this, switched on but still capacitor 21 is by diode 20 chargings during in off-state when switch S 2, and when switch S 2 was connected, capacitor 21 discharged by diode 22.Switch S 2 disconnections when input voltage surpasses RMS value, and when voltage drop to this numerical value when following switch S 2 by pulse excitation.The voltage of capacitor 21 must be higher than the voltage that is provided to inverter.
The excitation of control electronic switch S2 makes it when ripple shown in Figure 2 is lower than the RMS level, discharges in the time interval with the paddy V representative of pulsation DC ripple W, thereby redistributes available DC power effectively.
For realizing this operation, the high frequency square wave pulse T2 excitation that electronic switch S2 is produced by pulse generator 23 is so pulse generator 23 is as the device of periodic excitation switch S 2.Pulse T2 carries out pulse width modulation by the control signal that is added on the described generator, and described signal is to derive from the resistor 24 of connecting with the outlet line that load current is flowed through.So resistor 24 provides the control signal that changes with the variation in the load current as load current sensor.As a result, the duty cycle of electronic switch S2 is controlled, and the discharge of the energy storage capacitor 21 of charging just can be used to be adjusted at the last resulting DC power of output node N of energy storage capacitor circuit.
High frequency pulse generator 17 and 23 work synchronized with each other, when the switch S 1 of these generator periodic excitation and S2 disconnected, electric current was added to choke 19 by unidirectional transmission diode 25.
Power from node N is added on the inverter 15 of ballast system by power control circuit, power control circuit comprises the 3rd switch mosfet S3, the pulse width modulation control impuls T3 that derives from pulse generator 23 is added on the grid of S3, so pulse generator 23 is as the device of periodic excitation switch S 3.The pulse width modulation of control impuls T3 is realized by the control signal that derives from load current sensor 24.When the voltage on being added to switch S 3 is lower than the RMS value, switch S 3 closures thereby conducting, and switch S 2 is carried out pulse width modulation control simultaneously.When voltage was higher than the RMS value, switch S 3 was energized with the pulse duration generation to inverter and controls, and 2 disconnections of switch S are inoperative.
So if load current descends, reflection is added to the power reduction of HID lamp, the control signal of gained will make the width of pulse T3 increase, when input voltage was lower than the RMS level, the gained duty cycle of switch S 2 increased, thereby makes load current return to its suitable intensity.
Ballast circuit shown in Figure 3 is being realized the said function of PFC level 12 in the prior art ballast shown in Figure 1, SC energy storage capacitor level 13 and PC power level control 14.But it finishes these functions with less magnetic and power component, because be exactly three MOSFET, an energy storage capacitor, a choke and three diodes according to the main element of ballast circuit of the present invention, does not have transformer or other heavy part.Therefore might be that the HID lamp is made small and light electronic ballast device, magnetic in the described ballast and power component lack than the number of elements in traditional ballast and volume little, so can be encapsulated in the little shell.
As above-mentioned, in ballast circuit shown in Figure 3, the device of periodic excitation MOSFET S2 and S3 is shared pulse generator 23.But also can adopt pulse generator separately if necessary.
Ballast shown in Fig. 4 is identical with above-mentioned ballast with reference to figure 3 explanation in structure and work, different is that it includes the 3rd pulse generator 26, is fed into the pulse S2 of the 2nd MOSFET S2 synchronously with pulse S3 feed-in MOSFETS3 with second pulse generator 23.
More than show most preferred embodiment, should understand and to do change and not deviate from the defined scope of the invention of claims it according to electric ballast of the present invention.
So, when electric ballast of the present invention is used for moving the HID lamp of DC power supply, it will not comprise as shown in Figure 1 provide the inverter of AC to igniter.The igniter that electric ballast comprised that is used for the HID lamp of DC power supply must be the igniter that is suitable for described HID lamp.In addition, the RFI filter that is used for AC power supplies as shown in Figure 1 neither be requisite for electric ballast of the present invention.
