[0016] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a radiation-resistant low-harmonic LED driving circuit according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention;

[0017] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the arrangement structure of the LED lamp according to Example 2 of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] Embodiment 1:

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a radiation-resistant low-harmonic LED driving circuit, and the LED driving circuit includes a rectifying unit 1 and a driving unit 4 .

[0021] The input end of the rectifier unit 1 is used to connect to an external power supply, and the output end is connected to the input end of the driver unit 4, and is used to obtain a DC power supply after rectifying and filtering the external power supply, and output the DC power supply to the driver unit 4. The output end of the driver unit 4 is used to connect to the LED light source 3, and the driver unit 4 is used to convert the voltage of the DC power supply into the working voltage of the LED light source 3. The driver unit 4 includes a first chip SM2315, a first capacitor C1, and a second resistor R2. The first pin of the first chip SM2315 is connected to the output end of the rectifier unit 1, the second pin and the ninth pin of the first chip SM2315 are grounded, the third pin of the first chip SM2315 is connected to the first capacitor C1 and then to the ground, the fourth pin of the first chip SM2315 is connected to the second resistor R2 and then to the ground, and the eighth pin, the seventh pin, the sixth pin and the fifth pin of the first chip SM2315 are used to connect to the LED light source 3.

[0022] In this embodiment, since the LED driving circuit of the prior art usually includes a transformer and a digital integrated chip, and the transformer and the digital integrated chip are easily damaged by radiation, thereby affecting the life of the lamp. Therefore, in this embodiment, a linear constant current driving analog chip SM2315 is used to convert the external power supply voltage (AC power supply voltage) into the working voltage of the LED light source. The chip SM2315 has a low total harmonic distortion rate and a high power factor. When the power required by the LED light source 3 is 15W, the driving unit 4 includes the first chip SM2315.

[0023] Optionally, the LED driving circuit further includes an adjusting unit 6 for adjusting the output current value of the driving unit 4. The input end of the adjusting unit 6 is connected to the output end of the rectifying unit 1, and the output end of the adjusting unit 6 is connected to the first pin of the first chip SM2315.

[0024] In this embodiment, the adjustment unit 6 includes a first resistor R1, one end of which is connected to the output end of the rectifier unit 1, and the other end is connected to the first pin of the first chip SM2315. The output current value of the driving unit 4 is adjusted by setting the first resistor R1 in the adjustment unit 6, thereby adjusting the brightness of the LED light source 3. For example, the resistance value of R1 in this embodiment is 4.7 kilo-ohms.

[0025] Optionally, the LED driving circuit further comprises a protection unit 5 for cutting off the entire circuit when an internal overload or short circuit occurs in the LED driving circuit. The input end of the protection unit 5 is used to connect to an external power supply, and the output end is connected to the rectifier unit 1.

[0026] Optionally, the protection unit 5 uses a 2410 chip fuse, which is connected to the AC power phase line L and the neutral line N. In this embodiment, the 2410 chip fuse is used to consider the radiation resistance requirements and economy of the drive circuit, as well as the production process. Therefore, the use of a chip fuse is more economical than a circuit breaker.

[0027] The rectifier unit 1 includes a diode rectifier bridge, a filter resistor R5 and a third capacitor C3. The input end of the diode rectifier bridge is connected to the output end of the protection unit 5. The filter resistor R5 is connected in parallel with the third capacitor C3 and then connected in parallel with the output end of the diode rectifier bridge.

[0028] In this embodiment, the AC input side AC / AC is connected to the protection unit 5 , and the DC output side V+ / V− is connected to the regulation unit 6 after filtering to supply power to the drive unit 4 .

[0029] Optionally, the regulating unit 6 further includes a third resistor R3, one end of the third resistor R3 is connected in parallel with one end of the first resistor R1 and then connected to the output end of the rectifying unit 1. The driving unit 4 further includes a second chip SM2315, a first compensation resistor RJ1, a second compensation resistor RJ2, a third compensation resistor RJ3, a second capacitor C2, a fourth resistor R4, a fifth capacitor C5, a sixth capacitor C6, and a seventh capacitor C7. The first pin of the second chip SM2315 is connected to the third resistor R3, the second pin and the ninth pin of the second chip SM2315 are grounded, the third pin of the second chip SM2315 is connected to the second capacitor C2 and then grounded, the fourth pin of the second chip SM2315 is connected to the fourth resistor R4 and then grounded, the seventh pin, the sixth pin and the fifth pin of the second chip SM2315 are respectively connected in series with the third compensation resistor RJ3, the second compensation resistor RJ2 and the first compensation resistor RJ1, and then connected in parallel with the seventh pin, the sixth pin and the fifth pin of the second chip SM2315, and then connected in parallel with the fifth capacitor C5, the sixth capacitor C6, and the seventh capacitor C7, and then connected to the LED light source 3, the eighth pin of the first chip SM2315 and the eighth pin of the second chip SM2315 are connected in parallel to the LED light source 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, since the power required by the LED light source 3 is 30W, two chips SM2315 are connected in parallel to provide a constant current power supply for the LED light source 3. Specifically, the first pin of the chip SM2315 is the DC power supply end of the chip. The first pin is connected to the rectifier unit 1 through the adjustment unit 6 (for example, R1=R3=4.7 kiloohms) to obtain a DC power supply. The second pin is the chip enable end, which is directly grounded to ensure that the chip SM2315 works as soon as it is powered on. The third pin is the chip compensation port, which ensures that the drive circuit has a lower total harmonic voltage and current distortion rate by connecting the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2. The fourth pin is the output current setting port, which sets the rated output current value of the chip SM2315 by connecting the second resistor R2 and the fourth resistor R4 (for example, R2=R4=11 ohms). The fifth pin, the sixth pin, the seventh pin, and the eighth pin are constant current output ports. After the two chips SM2315 are connected in parallel, they provide constant current power for the LED light source 3 through the first compensation resistor RJ1, the second compensation resistor RJ2, the third compensation resistor RJ3 and the fifth capacitor C5, the sixth capacitor C6, and the seventh capacitor C7. For example, the resistance values ​​of the first compensation resistor RJ1, the second compensation resistor RJ2, and the third compensation resistor RJ3 are all set to 0 ohms for jumper use, and the capacitance values ​​of the fifth capacitor C5, the sixth capacitor C6, and the seventh capacitor C7 are all set to 104 farads for EMC (electromagnetic compatibility). The LED light source 3 includes four strings of LED lamp beads connected in series. When the voltage output of the driving unit 4 is greater than the voltage drop of the first string of LED lamp beads of the LED light source 3 (for example, the voltage of pin 8 is 120V), the first segment of LEDs lights up; when the voltage is greater than the sum of the first string of LEDs and the second string of LEDs of the LED light source 3 (for example, the voltage of pin 8 is 120V, and the voltage value of pin 7 is 180V), these two strings of lamp beads light up; and so on. When the voltage is greater than the sum of all the lamp beads of the LED light source 3, all the lamp beads are lit.

[0031] The radiation-resistant low-harmonic LED driving circuit of this embodiment adopts a pure analog circuit design to avoid using components such as transformers and digital integrated chips that restrict the life of lamps in radiation environments, thereby improving the radiation resistance of the driving circuit. In particular, the linear constant current driving analog chip SM2315 is used to make the driving circuit have a lower harmonic distortion rate and meet the power distribution requirements. The radiation-resistant low-harmonic LED driving circuit of this embodiment adopts a pure analog circuit design to avoid using components such as transformers and digital integrated chips that restrict the life of lamps in radiation environments, thereby improving the radiation resistance of the driving circuit. 60 The steady-state total dose test of Coγ-ray was carried out. The test results showed that the driver circuit can effectively withstand the radiation dose of 1.5x10 4Gy, according to the test of GB17625.1-2012 "Electromagnetic compatibility limit harmonic current emission limit (equipment current per phase ≤ 16A)", the total harmonic distortion rate of voltage and current of the circuit is less than 15%. Therefore, the radiation-resistant low-harmonic LED drive circuit of this embodiment can increase the service life of the lamp, reduce the replacement frequency of the lamp, and reduce the radiation dose received by the operation and maintenance personnel.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rectifier unit 1 and the drive unit 4 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the LED light source 3, so that the positional spatial separation of the drive unit 4 and the rectifier unit 1 can be achieved, thereby realizing the positional isolation of the strong current part and the weak current part in the circuit, preventing the strong current part circuit from interfering with the weak current circuit, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the drive circuit and improving the stability of the drive circuit.
