[0015] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0016] Embodiment:

[0017] An electronic ballast of isolated output mode comprises a communication module and multiple circuits, wherein the multiple circuits comprise an EMI filter circuit, a full bridge rectifier circuit, an APFC circuit, a half bridge inverter circuit and a lamp tube state acquisition circuit; the communication module comprises a feedback control chip and a communication interface which are in communication with each other; the EMI filter circuit, the full bridge rectifier circuit, the APFC circuit and the half bridge inverter circuit are sequentially connected in series; the half bridge inverter circuit is connected with a transformer output circuit; the transformer output circuit is sequentially connected with the lamp tube state acquisition circuit; the feedback control chip comprises a drive chip circuit; the drive chip circuit, the half bridge inverter circuit, the transformer output circuit and the lamp tube state acquisition circuit are sequentially connected in series to form a cycle. The transformer output circuit comprises an external germicidal lamp.

[0018] The EMI filter circuit is externally connected with an AC power supply, a DC power supply or an AC / DC dual-purpose power supply.

[0019] As Figure 2The transformer output circuit adopts a leakage inductance design. The starting process of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp requires a high-voltage pulse provided by the ballast to ignite the lamp tube. During the starting process, the leakage inductance of the transformer can suppress current surges and prevent voltage spikes from damaging circuit components such as semiconductor switching elements, capacitors, etc. An appropriate amount of leakage inductance can effectively limit the excessive starting voltage and prevent circuit overload.

[0020] Modern ultraviolet germicidal lamp ballasts are mostly electronic ballasts, usually operating at high frequencies (tens to hundreds of kilohertz). During high-frequency switching, the leakage inductance of the transformer can cause large changes in the magnetic field, which may lead to the generation of harmonics. These harmonics can pollute the power grid and affect the normal operation of other equipment. By carefully designing the leakage inductance of the transformer, the generation of harmonics can be reduced, and the quality of the power supply can be improved.

[0021] During the stable operation phase of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp, the leakage inductance of the transformer helps to limit the rapid change of current and stabilize the current flow in the ballast. An appropriate amount of leakage inductance can prevent excessive or insufficient current, ensuring that the lamp tube current is within a safe range, ensuring that the ultraviolet lamp works continuously and stably, and providing a constant ultraviolet output.

[0022] In the design of an isolated output type ballast, the input and output are completely electrically isolated through the transformer isolation component. That is, the input side and the output side are connected through the transformer isolation element.

[0023] In the design of the ballast in the ultraviolet germicidal lamp industry, using an isolated output can effectively prevent high-voltage current from being conducted from the input side to the output. This is very important to avoid the risk of electric shock, equipment damage, and electrical short circuits, especially in environments with high requirements for electrical safety (such as medical, laboratory, food processing, etc.). The isolation circuit can greatly reduce the safety hazards caused by equipment failure or electrical problems. Since the isolated output can effectively prevent high-frequency noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI) from the power supply side from entering the ultraviolet lamp tube side, it can ensure the stable operation of the ultraviolet lamp and reduce the electromagnetic interference that may be caused to other equipment, especially precision electronic equipment. Therefore, using an isolated ballast can better protect sensitive electronic equipment and ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in the environment. Isolated output can effectively prevent the influence of input voltage fluctuations, transient overvoltage, etc. on the ultraviolet lamp tube and the ballast, improving the reliability and stability of the entire system. This design can reduce the failure rate and prolong the service life of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp and the ballast during long-term operation.

[0024] The above description is merely the preferred embodiments of the present application and the technical principles used. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the utility model involved in the present application is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combinations of the technical features described above, and should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combinations of the technical features described above or their equivalent features without departing from the concept of the utility model. For example, the technical solutions formed by replacing the above features with the technical features disclosed in the present application (but not limited to) having similar functions.
