[0026] In the description of the present invention, if there is a description of first and second, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.
[0027] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, an LED component according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: two input pins 110, the input pins 110 are used to connect to an external LED controller to obtain a coupling signal; a separation module 200, the input end of the separation module 200 is connected to the two input pins 110, and the separation module 200 is used to separate and convert the coupling signal into a power supply signal and a control signal; a control drive module 300, the output end of the separation module 200 is connected to the control drive module 300; and an LED module 400, the control drive module 300 is connected to the LED module 400 to drive and control the LED module 400 to operate.
[0029] Two input pins 110 are connected to an external LED controller to obtain coupling signals. Separation module 200 is connected to input pins 110 to obtain coupling signals. Separation module 200 then processes the coupling signals and converts them into power and control signals. The power signals are transmitted to control and drive module 300 to provide electrical energy, while the control signals are transmitted to control and drive module 300. Control and drive module 300 operates LED module 400 based on the control signals, thereby controlling the LED module 400 to turn on and off, adjust brightness, and adjust the color of light. This allows the LED element to obtain power and control lighting using only two input pins 110. This also makes it easier to connect multiple LED elements in series or parallel during use, meeting practical requirements.
[0030] refer to Figures 3 to 5 The external LED controller couples and modulates the power supply signal and the control signal to form a coupled signal, and the coupled signal is transmitted to the separation module 200 through the input pin 110. The separation module 200 can separate and demodulate the coupled signal to form a power supply signal and a control signal.
[0031] The LED module 400 may include multiple LED lamp beads or LED chips, and the control and driving module 300 changes the output current according to the control signal to achieve the effect of changing the brightness of the LED light-emitting components. The light-emitting colors of the LED light-emitting components can be different, so that the control and driving module 300 can achieve the effect of changing the light color by driving different LED light-emitting components. The LED module 400 preferably includes red, green, blue, and white LED light-emitting components.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, an address unit 500 is further included. The address unit 500 stores an address identification code and is connected to the control and driving module 300 .
[0033] When multiple LED strings are used in parallel, the LED components all receive the same electrical signal. To control a specific LED component, an address unit 500 is connected to the control and driver module 300. The control signal contains address data. After receiving the control signal, the control and driver module 300 obtains an address identification code from the address unit 500 and compares it with the address data in the control signal. If they match, the control and driver module 300 executes the action corresponding to the control signal; if they do not match, the control signal is ignored. This allows for control of a specific LED component when multiple LED strings are used in parallel. The address unit 500 can be a device capable of storing address identification codes, such as a read-only memory or an erasable programmable read-only memory.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the separation module 200 includes a power supply unit 210 and a detection and amplification unit 220. The input end of the power supply unit 210 is respectively connected to the two input pins 110 to convert the coupling signal into a power supply signal. The power supply unit 210 supplies power to the detection and amplification unit 220, the address unit 500, and the control and driving module 300. The input end of the detection and amplification unit 220 is connected to at least one input pin 110 to convert the coupling signal into a control signal. The output end of the detection and amplification unit 220 is connected to the control and driving module 300.
[0035] The power supply unit 210 obtains the coupling signal through the input pin 110, processes the coupling signal to obtain the power supply signal, and then powers the detection and amplification unit 220, the address unit 500, and the control and drive module 300, so that the three can operate normally. The detection and amplification unit 220 obtains the coupling signal through the input pin 110, and then performs detection and amplification processing on the coupling signal to obtain the control signal and transmit it to the control and drive module 300. The detection and amplification unit 220 can be an implementation method including a common detection circuit and a common amplification circuit. The coupled signal is detected by the detection circuit to obtain the control signal. The structure is simple and easy to implement. The control signal is amplified by the amplification circuit, which is conducive to the control and drive module 300 to identify the control signal.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the power supply unit 210 includes a rectifier and filter circuit 211 and a voltage regulator circuit 212. The input end of the rectifier and filter circuit 211 is respectively connected to the two input pins 110, and the output end of the rectifier and filter circuit 211 is connected to the input end of the voltage regulator circuit 212. The output end of the voltage regulator circuit 212 supplies power to the detection and amplification unit 220, the address unit 500, and the control and driving module 300 respectively.
[0037] The input electrical signal is rectified by the rectifier and filter circuit 211 to form a DC signal. The DC signal is then processed by the voltage regulator circuit 212 to form a power supply signal with an appropriate voltage, which in turn powers the detection and amplification unit 220, the address unit 500, and the control and drive module 300. The rectifier and filter circuit 211 can be implemented by a conventional rectifier bridge, a filter, and a voltage regulator to convert the AC signal into a stable DC signal. The voltage regulator circuit 212 can be implemented by a conventional buck circuit or boost circuit.
[0038] When the LED module 400 is not emitting light, the voltage regulation circuit 212 will also maintain the entire LED element consuming a certain power, such as maintaining power supply to the detection amplifier unit 220, the address unit 500, and the control driver module 300. Therefore, regardless of whether the LED module 400 is emitting light, the entire LED element will consume a certain power with a small fluctuation. When multiple LED elements are used in series, it can avoid the situation where the LED module 400 of a certain LED element does not emit light, which will cause the voltage and current of other LED elements in the series to increase significantly. This is beneficial for ensuring stable operation of each LED element when used in series, and improving reliability.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the separation module 200 further includes a shaping unit 230, the input end of the shaping unit 230 is connected to the output end of the detection and amplification unit 220, the output end of the shaping unit 230 is connected to the control and driving module 300, and the power supply unit 210 supplies power to the shaping unit 230.
[0040] During the transmission of the coupled signal generated by the external LED controller to the LED element, the coupled signal may be distorted due to interference or other factors, causing the control signal obtained by the detection and amplification unit 220 to be distorted. Therefore, a shaping unit 230 is connected to the output end of the detection and amplification unit 220 to shape and restore the control signal so that the control and driving module 300 can correctly identify the control signal. The shaping unit 230 can be a common shaping circuit including several Schmitt triggers.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the control and driving module 300 includes a first control processing unit 310 and a driving unit 320, the output end of the detection and amplification unit 220 is connected to the first control processing unit 310, the address unit 500 is connected to the first control processing unit 310, the first control processing unit 310 is connected to the driving unit 320, the output end of the driving unit 320 is connected to the LED module 400, and the power supply unit 210 supplies power to the first control processing unit 310 and the driving unit 320.
[0042] The detection and amplification unit 220 transmits the control signal to the first control processing unit 310. Based on the control signal, the first control processing unit 310 controls the driver unit 320 to generate a desired drive signal, which is then transmitted to the LED module 400, ensuring that the LED module 400's lighting operation meets the desired requirements. The first control processing unit 310 can be a processor, single-chip microcomputer, or other device or chip capable of receiving, processing, and generating signals. The driver unit 320 can be implemented as a conventional LED driver circuit or LED driver chip.
[0043] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the control driving module 300 further includes an oscillation unit 330 , which is used to generate a clock signal. The power supply unit 210 supplies power to the oscillation unit 330 , and the oscillation unit 330 is connected to the first control processing unit 310 .
[0044] Because the first control processing unit 310 relies on an accurate clock signal to recognize the control signal, the oscillation unit 330 generates a precise clock signal and transmits it to the first control processing unit 310. This helps the first control processing unit 310 accurately control the operation of the driving unit 320 according to the control signal, thereby driving the LED module 400 to perform the action corresponding to the control signal. The oscillation unit 330 can be a device or circuit capable of generating a clock signal, such as a common clock oscillator.
[0045] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the control driving module 300 further includes a polarity detection unit 340, an input end of the polarity detection unit 340 is connected to at least one input pin 110, an output end of the polarity detection unit 340 is connected to the first control processing unit 310, and the power supply unit 210 supplies power to the polarity detection unit 340.
[0046] Because the coupled signal is an AC signal, the control signal formed after the detection and amplification unit 220 processes the coupled signal may include a positive half-cycle and / or a negative half-cycle, resulting in the first control processing unit 310 incorrectly identifying the control signal. To address this, the polarity detection unit 340 is connected to the input pin. The first control processing unit 310 detects whether the coupled signal is currently in a positive half-cycle or a negative half-cycle through the polarity detection unit 340, and correctly identifies the control signal based on the detection result, allowing the first control processing unit 310 to correctly identify the control signal. The polarity detection unit 340 can be a common voltage detection circuit or other implementation, which determines whether the AC signal is in a positive half-cycle or a negative half-cycle by detecting the voltage. The polarity detection unit 340 can also include a diode that uses the unidirectional conduction characteristics of the diode to generate a trigger signal to determine whether the AC signal is in a positive half-cycle or a negative half-cycle.
[0047] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving unit 320 includes a PWM circuit 321 and a constant current regulation circuit 322, the first control processing unit 310 is connected to the input end of the PWM circuit 321, the output end of the PWM circuit 321 is connected to the constant current regulation circuit 322, and the constant current regulation circuit 322 is connected to the LED module 400.
[0048] The first control processing unit 310 controls the PWM circuit 321 based on the control signal to generate a PWM signal, which is then transmitted to the constant current regulation circuit 322. The constant current regulation circuit 322 generates a stable current based on the PWM signal to drive the LED module 400. The first control processing unit 310 controls the PWM circuit 321 based on the control signal to adjust the duty cycle of the PWM signal. This can control the magnitude of the stable current generated by the constant current regulation circuit 322, thereby enabling the LED module 400 to be turned on or off, and to adjust the brightness or color of the light.
[0049] The LED system according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of the above-mentioned LED elements and an LED controller. The plurality of LED elements are connected in series and / or in parallel to form an LED circuit, and the LED controller is connected to the LED circuit.
[0050] In order to meet the requirements of use, it is generally necessary to connect multiple LED elements in series and parallel to form an LED circuit. The LED controller couples the power signal and the control signal to form a coupled signal and transmits it to the LED circuit. In the LED element of the LED circuit, the separation module 200 processes the coupled signal to obtain the power signal and the control signal. The control drive module 300 operates normally with the support of the power signal, and the control drive module 300 drives the LED module 400 to realize functions such as turning on and off, adjusting the brightness, and adjusting the light color according to the control signal. The LED element has only two input pins 110, which are the minimum number required to form a loop with the LED controller. When the LED elements are connected in series and parallel, the connection structure is simple, which helps to avoid connection errors, is convenient to use, and meets the requirements of use.
[0051] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, as an LED controller in an embodiment of the present invention, it includes: a control signal module 600, the control signal module 600 is used to generate a control signal or receive a control signal from the outside; a power conversion module 700, the power conversion module 700 can be connected to an external power supply line to generate a power supply signal; a coupling module 800, the coupling module 800 is respectively connected to the control signal module 600 and the power supply to couple the control signal with the power supply signal; two output ports 120, the output port 120 can be connected to an external LED circuit, and the output end of the coupling module 800 is respectively connected to the two output ports 120.
[0052] The control signal module 600 transmits the control signal to the coupling module 800. The power conversion module 700 is connected to the external power supply line to convert the external AC power into a power supply signal suitable for the operation of the external LED circuit and transmit it to the coupling module 800. The coupling module 800 couples the control signal and the power supply signal to form a coupled signal. The coupling module 800 transmits the coupled signal to the external LED circuit through the two output ports 120. The coupled signal includes a power supply signal part and a control signal part, thereby realizing the function of powering and controlling the external circuit through the two output ports 120, making it more convenient to use and meeting usage requirements.
[0053] The two output ports 120 refer to ports at the circuit level, that is, at least two connection ends required to connect to the external LED circuit to form a loop. In actual applications, there may be only one physical port. For example, the 3.5mm headphone interface has only one port at the physical level, but has two connection ends at the circuit level so that the headphones can form a loop with the driving circuit in the interface.
[0054] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, a control and display unit 900 is further included. The control and display unit 900 is connected to the control signal module 600 and the power conversion module 700 respectively.
[0055] The control and display unit 900 obtains power from the power conversion module 700. The user can generate a control signal through the control and display unit 900 and transmit it to the control signal module 600, so that the control signal module 600 generates an appropriate control signal. In addition, the control and display unit 900 can also display the current working information of the control signal module 600 so that the user can understand the working status, thereby achieving the effect of human-computer interaction and making it more convenient to use. The control and display unit 900 can be implemented in an embodiment that includes a keyboard, a display screen, or a touch screen, etc., which can be controlled and displayed.
[0056] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the control signal module 600 includes a second control processing unit 610 , the second control processing unit 610 is connected to the coupling module 800 , and the control display unit 900 is connected to the second control processing unit 610 .
[0057] The control display unit 900 generates a control signal and transmits it to the second control processing unit 610. The second control processing unit 610 generates a corresponding control signal based on the control signal and transmits the control signal to the coupling module 800 for coupling processing. The second control processing unit 610 can be implemented as a device or chip such as a processor or single-chip microcomputer that can receive, process, and generate signals.
[0058] Reference Figure 2In some embodiments of the present invention, the control signal module 600 further includes a signal exchange unit 620 , which is used to obtain an external control signal or send a control signal, and the second control processing unit 610 is connected to the signal exchange unit 620 .
[0059] In some cases, the control signal may come from an external device. The signal exchange unit 620 is provided to obtain the external control signal and transmit it to the second control processing unit 610. The second control processing unit 610 adjusts the control signal according to the control signal. The second control processing unit 610 may also not process the control signal. The second control processing unit 610 transmits the control signal to the coupling module 800 for coupling processing.
[0060] In some cases, the control signal generated by the second control processing unit 610 needs to be transmitted to an external controller or external device. For example, when multiple controllers are used simultaneously, the control signal generated by the second control processing unit 610 is transmitted to the external controller via the signal exchange unit 620, so that the other external controllers receive the control signal as slave controllers. The second control processing unit 610 in the slave controller receives the control signal via the signal exchange unit 620, and then the second control processing unit 610 performs the corresponding processing.
[0061] The signal exchange unit 620 may include a signal port to obtain or send control signals through a wired connection; the signal exchange unit 620 may also be a Bluetooth chip, a WIFI chip, an infrared receiver or other device to obtain or send control signals wirelessly.
[0062] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the coupling module 800 includes an H-bridge conversion unit 810, an input end of the H-bridge conversion unit 810 is connected to the power conversion module 700, an output end of the H-bridge conversion unit 810 is respectively connected to the two output ports 120, and the second control processing unit 610 is connected to the control end of the H-bridge conversion unit 810.
[0063] The input end of the H-bridge conversion unit 810 is connected to the power conversion module 700 to obtain a power supply signal. The second control processing unit 610 transmits the control signal to the control end of the H-bridge conversion unit 810. The H-bridge conversion unit 810 couples the power supply signal and the control signal to form a coupled signal and transmits it to the output port 120.
[0064] As one of the specific embodiments, refer to Figure 2For convenience of description, the two output ports 120 are respectively referred to as the first output port and the second output port. The H-bridge conversion unit 810 includes switch transistors A, B, C, and D. The input end of switch transistor A is connected to the power conversion module 700, and the output end of switch transistor A is respectively connected to the input end of switch transistor B and the first output port. The output end of switch transistor B is grounded. The input end of switch transistor C is connected to the power conversion module 700, and the output end of switch transistor C is respectively connected to the input end of switch transistor D and the second output port. The output end of switch transistor D is grounded. The second control processing unit 610 is respectively connected to the control end of switch transistor A, the control end of switch transistor B, the control end of switch transistor C, and the control end of switch transistor D.
[0065] refer to Figures 3 to 5 During operation, when the control signal is high, the second control processing unit 610 controls switch A to be turned on and switch B to be turned off, while simultaneously controlling switch C to be turned off and switch D to be turned on, so that the voltage at the first output port is higher than the voltage at the second output port. When the control signal is low, the second control processing unit 610 controls switch A to be turned off and switch B to be turned on, while simultaneously controlling switch C to be turned on and switch D to be turned off, so that the voltage at the second output port is higher than the voltage at the first output port. In this way, based on the condition that the power conversion module 700 inputs a power signal, an AC signal corresponding to the control signal is generated, that is, the power signal and the control signal are coupled to form a coupled signal.
[0066] The coupling method using the H-bridge conversion unit 810 generates an AC signal, which can ensure more stable LED operation and avoid voltage fluctuations caused by the control signal in DC carrier technology, thus preventing flickering during operation of the LED module. The switching transistors included in the H-bridge conversion unit 810 can be transistors, field-effect transistors, or IGBTs.

[0068] Since the switches in the H-bridge conversion unit 810 may use devices such as field-effect transistors, a certain driving capability is required to turn on the switches. Therefore, by providing a driving unit 820, the control signal output by the second control processing unit 610 is processed by the driving unit 820 to improve the driving capability, thereby ensuring that the control signal can turn on the switches in the H-bridge conversion unit 810. The driving unit 820 can be a circuit or device capable of improving signal driving capability, such as a common power amplifier circuit.

[0070] The input mains power is rectified and stabilized by the rectifier and voltage regulator unit 710 to convert the mains power into stable DC power, i.e., the power supply signal is transmitted to the coupling module 800. The rectifier and voltage regulator unit 710 can be a common embodiment including a rectifier bridge and a voltage regulator circuit.

[0072] Since the AC power contains interference harmonics due to interference and other reasons during transmission, the interference harmonics may impact the rectifier and voltage stabilization unit 710, affecting the stable operation of the rectifier and voltage stabilization unit 710. Therefore, by providing a filter unit 720 to filter the input AC power to remove the interference harmonics before transmitting it to the rectifier and voltage stabilization unit 710, it is beneficial to the stable operation of the rectifier and voltage stabilization unit 710 and improve reliability.

[0074] The DC power output by the rectifier and voltage regulator unit 710, i.e., the power supply signal, is stepped down by the step-down unit 730 to power the second control processing unit 610, the drive unit 820, and the control and display unit 900 in the signal module, fully utilizing the performance of the rectifier and voltage regulator unit 710. The step-down unit 730 can be implemented in a conventional step-down circuit or a switching power supply circuit.
