Abstract

The invention discloses a device and a method for controlling a light source in a gradual brightness change manner. The device for controlling the light source in the gradual brightness change manner comprises a light source, a light source driving unit, a switch unit, and an MCU (Microgrammed Control Unit), wherein the MCU is used for detecting a switching action of the switch unit and whether the light source is turned on, calculating the duty cycle of drive pulses, outputting the drive pulses to the light source driving unit, detecting the time span for outputting the drive pulses, and storing the duty cycle of the drive pulses, the variation step length of the duty cycles of the drive pulses, the duty cycle of the maximum drive pulse, the duty cycle of the minimum drive pulse and the variation time period of the duty cycle of the drive pulse. According to the invention, According to the invention, the gradual lighting of gradual dimming of a lamp is realized by controlling the duty cycle of the drive pulses of the drive light source, so that the service life of the lamp is prolonged, in addition, by addition of a brightness detection unit, the brightness of the light source is regulated based on ambient brightness, so that the brightness sensed by human eyes is stabilized, and the stimulations to the human eyes are reduced and the health of the human eyes is protected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a control device and method for a light source with gradual brightness change, in particular to a control device and method for an LED light source with gradual brightness change. Background technique [0002] Today, with the continuous emergence of household lamps, businesses have launched "soft lights" and "comfortable lights" in order to enable users to obtain more comfortable and soft lights. However, no matter whether it is a soft light or an ordinary fluorescent lamp, the brightness of the lamp reaches the maximum brightness at the moment the switch is pressed, and the lamp goes out instantaneously when the switch is turned off. This sudden change in brightness makes it difficult for human eyes to adapt, and in severe cases, it may even cause dizziness. [0003] Moreover, when the existing household lamps are turned on each time, strong currents will repeatedly impact the lamps, thereby reducing the service life of the l...
