Embodiment Construction

[0011] The method of the invention is realized by controlling the lamp current to follow the digital control, that is, the single chip microcomputer outputs the reference current. First set the single-chip microcomputer to output a reference current higher than the rated current of the metal halide lamp, and then ignite the metal halide lamp. Since the current of the lamp will rise immediately after the lamp is broken down, the lamp voltage will immediately drop, and the characteristics of the lamp will change drastically. Since the reference current of the lamp is set in advance, it will limit the current after the lamp is broken down, and control the lamp current to be constant to the set reference current. Then judge the lamp voltage. When it drops to the reference voltage in the preheating stage of the lamp, slowly reduce the reference current at this time. At this time, the lamp current will decrease, the lamp voltage will gradually increase, and the power of the lamp will...

Abstract

The invention provides a control method used for the no-flash starting of a high-intensity gas discharge lamp. Before the ignition starting is carried out on the high-intensity gas discharge lamp, the current of the lamp is first controlled to be constant and the value of the current is led to be higher than the rated current. The voltage of the lamp is subsequently judged; when the stable voltage in the pre-heating stage of the lamp is reached, the current of the lamp is continuously reduced, thus gradually increasing the voltage and power of the high-intensity gas discharge lamp; when the current of the lamp is reduced to the rated current of the high-intensity gas discharge lamp, the current of the lamp is controlled to be reduced or increased continuously; meanwhile, the voltage of the lamp is sampled continuously; when the voltage of the high-intensity gas discharge lamp is sampled to approach or reach the rated voltage of the lamp, the lamp enters to normal work with constant power. The invention controls the whole starting process of the lamp by controlling the current of the lamp and gives out corresponding control signals in different stages, thus leading to no flash of the high-intensity gas discharge lamp, smooth change of colour temperature, extended colour change and natural power transition; furthermore, the service life of the high-intensity gas discharge lamp is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a start-up control method of an electronic ballast for high-intensity gas discharge lamps, in particular to a start-up control method for electronic ballasts of high-intensity gas discharge lamps such as high-pressure sodium lamps and metal halide lamps. Background technique [0002] Unlike fluorescent lamps, high-intensity discharge lamps have very high requirements for starting. During the starting process of the lamp, it can be said that the state of each stage varies greatly, which often leads to unstable circuit operation. After the lamp is broken down, especially when entering constant power control, the lamp will immediately flicker or even go out, which has a great impact on the life of the lamp. Therefore, in order to make the lamp operate normally, the performance should be improved as much as possible, and the life extension will directly depend on the resolution of these difficulties. The starting process of the la...
