Embodiment 1

[0094] Below, refer to Figure 1 to Figure 10 The dimming device of this embodiment will be described. In addition, due to the circuit structure of the dimming device of this embodiment and Figure 13 The circuit structures shown are the same, and illustration and description are omitted.

[0095] The dimming device of this embodiment is constructed by embedding part of it in a construction surface such as a wall, and is used to control the dimming of lighting loads La such as incandescent lamps. The metal mounting plate 4 corresponding to the triple use mounting frame used in the type wiring appliance. That is, the mounting plate 4 is formed of a metal material such as aluminum, and the overall shape is formed so that three of them can be installed in three rows in a row. Corresponds to the installation frame for triple use of the unit size of the installation of up to 3 units of wiring equipment (the external dimension is formed to be equal to the installation frame for t...

Embodiment 2

[0119] The basic structure of the dimming device of this embodiment is roughly the same as that of Embodiment 1. It is characterized in that the material used in Embodiment 1 is the heat dissipation plate 6 and heat dissipation block 7 of the thermal bonding member and the installation plate 4 of the installation member. The same metal material (such as aluminum), such as Figure 11 As shown, the heat dissipation plate 6, the installation plate 4 and the heat dissipation block 7 are integrally formed by metal mold casting (aluminum mold casting), which is the same as the case where the heat dissipation plate 6, the installation plate 4 and the heat dissipation block 7 are separately formed as in Embodiment 1. Ratio, the assembly is improved, and the thermal conductivity is improved, and the heat dissipation efficiency is improved. Since other structures are the same as those in Embodiment 1, explanations are omitted. In this embodiment, the heat sink plate 6, the mounting pla...

Abstract

The present invention provides a dimming device that can adjust the light output of a high-capacity lighting load while suppressing the occurrence of high-frequency noise interference signals, and can also improve heat dissipation and be miniaturized. In order to achieve the above object, the dimming device of the present invention includes: a power supply component (5), which has a bidirectional three-terminal thyristor and a series circuit of a pair of IGBTs connected between the main terminals of the bidirectional three-terminal thyristor, On the aluminum substrate 51, a bidirectional three-terminal thyristor and a pair of IGBTs are mounted as bare chips respectively; and a control circuit that controls the bidirectional three-terminal thyristor at a phase angle corresponding to the dimming level set by a variable resistor (VR). The thyristor controls the impedance of one of the IGBT pairs before it becomes conductive, allowing a smooth increase in the load voltage acting on the lighting load. The power supply assembly (5) is thermally coupled to the mounting plate (4) of the mounting member provided on the construction surface via the heat dissipation plate (6).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a dimming device for dimming an illumination load by controlling the phase of an AC power supply. Background technique [0002] A dimming device has been proposed in the past (for example, refer to Patent Document 1), which assembles a bidirectional three-terminal thyristor (Triac), a variable resistor, and Such printed circuit boards are stored in the container, and by controlling the phase of the bidirectional three-terminal thyristor, the power supply to the lighting load is controlled, so that the light output of the lighting load can be adjusted. This kind of dimming device is provided with an operating part on the front of the container to set the dimming level of the lighting load by adjusting the resistance value of the variable resistor. In addition, it is also proposed to provide a heat sink for dissipating the heat generated in the bidirectional three-terminal thyristor in the dimming device using the bidirectional ...
