[0047] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0048] In a preferred embodiment, reference Figure 1 The multi-parallel LED light string safety control system of this embodiment includes an LED driving circuit 10, at least two groups of LED light strings 20, at least two first voltage detection circuits 30, a voltage divider circuit 40 and a processor 50. Each LED light string 20 corresponds to a first voltage detection circuit 30, and the LED light string 20 includes at least two LED lamp beads connected in series.
[0049] The LED driver circuit 10 is used to drive the LED light strings 20. The input end of the LED driver circuit 10 is connected to the power supply VIN. The first end of the LED driver circuit 10 is connected to the first end of each group of LED light strings 20. The second end of each group of LED light strings 20 is connected to the first end of the corresponding first voltage detection circuit 30. The second end of each first voltage detection circuit 30 is connected to the second end of the LED driver circuit 10. The third end of each first voltage detection circuit 30 is connected to the processor 50. The second end of the LED driver circuit 10 is connected to a first ground point (denoted as GND1 in the figure) via a voltage divider circuit 40. The processor 50 is connected to the LED driver circuit 10. The voltage divider circuit 40 is connected to the processor 50. The operating principle of the safety control system of this embodiment is as follows: the processor 50 obtains the voltage across the voltage divider circuit 40. The LED driver circuit 10 converts the power supply VIN into a drive signal to drive each group of LED light strings 20. The first voltage detection circuit 30 collects the current divided voltage of the corresponding LED light string 20, i.e., the first detection voltage, and sends the first detection voltage to the processor 50. After obtaining the first detection voltage of each first voltage detection circuit 30, the processor 50 determines whether the first detection voltage is equal to the voltage across the voltage divider circuit 40. If a first detection voltage is equal to the voltage across the voltage divider circuit 40, it indicates that the LED light string 20 corresponding to the first voltage detection circuit 30 has an open circuit fault. The processor 50 directly detects the voltage across the voltage divider circuit 40 through the first voltage detection circuit 30. When an LED light string 20 has an open circuit fault, the processor 50 controls the LED driver circuit 10 to reduce the output current to prevent overcurrent in other LED light strings 20 that have not experienced an open circuit fault, thereby preventing damage to the LED light strings 20.
[0050] This embodiment can detect an open circuit fault of an LED light string, thereby adjusting the driving current in a timely manner to avoid damage to the LED light string and achieve safe operation of multiple parallel LED light strings.
[0051] In some embodiments of the multi-parallel LED light string safety control system, reference Figure 2The first voltage detection circuit 30 includes a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2. The first end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the first end of the second resistor R2. The connection point between the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 is the first end of the first voltage detection circuit 30. The second end of the first resistor R1 is the second end of the first voltage detection circuit 30. The second end of the second resistor R2 is the third end of the first voltage detection circuit 30. Optionally, the first voltage detection circuit 30 further includes a first capacitor C1. The second end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the first ground point via the first capacitor C1.
[0052] In some embodiments of the multi-parallel LED light string safety control system, reference Figure 3 The voltage divider circuit 40 includes a third resistor R3 and a fourth resistor R4. The third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 are connected in parallel, with a first end of the parallel connection connected to the second end of the LED driver circuit 10 and a second end of the parallel connection connected to the first ground point. Alternatively, the voltage divider circuit 40 further includes a diode D1, with an anode of the diode D1 connected to the second end of the LED driver circuit 10 and a cathode of the diode D1 connected to the first ground point.
[0053] refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the multi-parallel LED light string safety control system further includes a second voltage detection circuit 60 , wherein a first end of the second voltage detection circuit 60 is connected to a first end of each LED light string 20 , and a second end of the second voltage detection circuit 60 is connected to the processor 50 .
[0054] The operating principle of this safety control system is as follows: Under normal operation, each LED in the LED light string 20 experiences a certain voltage drop. If one or more LEDs experience a short circuit, the voltage drop changes accordingly, causing the second detection voltage of the second voltage detection circuit 60 to change. After obtaining the second detection voltage from the second voltage detection circuit 60, the processor 50 determines whether the second detection voltage is within a preset voltage range. If the second detection voltage is within the preset voltage range, the LED light string 20 is operating normally and has not experienced a short circuit. If the second detection voltage is not within the preset voltage range, the LED light string 20 has experienced a short circuit, and the processor 50 controls the LED driver circuit 10 to stop driving the LED light string 20.
[0055] This embodiment can detect whether a short circuit fault occurs in the LED light string 20, and can promptly control the LED driving circuit 10 to stop working when a short circuit fault occurs, thereby preventing the LED lamp beads from being damaged.
[0056] In some embodiments of the multi-parallel LED light string safety control system, reference Figure 5The second voltage detection circuit 60 includes a fifth resistor R5, a sixth resistor R6, and a seventh resistor R7. The first end of the fifth resistor R5 serves as the first end of the second voltage detection circuit 60. The second end of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the first end of the sixth resistor R6 and the first end of the seventh resistor R7, respectively. The second end of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the first ground point. The second end of the seventh resistor R7 serves as the second end of the second voltage detection circuit 60. Optionally, some embodiments of the multi-parallel LED light string safety control system further include a second capacitor C2, the two ends of the second capacitor C2 being connected to the second end of the sixth resistor R6 and the second end of the seventh resistor R7, respectively.
[0057] refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the multi-parallel LED light string safety control system further includes a third voltage detection circuit 70, a first end of the third voltage detection circuit 70 is connected to the power supply VIN, a second end of the third voltage detection circuit 70 is connected to the processor 50, and a third end of the third voltage detection circuit 70 is connected to the first ground point.
[0058] The operating principle of this safety control system is as follows: the processor 50 obtains the third detection voltage from the third voltage detection circuit 70. If the third detection voltage is greater than a first preset voltage, an overvoltage fault has occurred in the power supply VIN, and the processor 50 executes an overvoltage protection strategy. If the third detection voltage is less than a second preset voltage, an undervoltage fault has occurred in the power supply VIN, and the processor 50 executes an undervoltage protection strategy. The first preset voltage is greater than the second preset voltage.
[0059] This embodiment can monitor whether the power supply VIN is within a safe range, thereby preventing circuit damage caused by power supply voltage fluctuations.
[0060] In some embodiments of the multi-parallel LED light string safety control system, reference Figure 7 The third voltage detection circuit 70 includes an eighth resistor R8, a ninth resistor R9, and a tenth resistor R10. The first end of the eighth resistor R8 serves as the first end of the third voltage detection circuit 70. The second end of the eighth resistor R8 is connected to the first end of the ninth resistor R9 and the first end of the tenth resistor R10, respectively. The second end of the ninth resistor R9 serves as the second end of the third voltage detection circuit 70. The second end of the tenth resistor R10 serves as the third end of the third voltage detection circuit 70. Optionally, the third voltage detection circuit 70 further includes a third capacitor C3, the two ends of which are connected to the second end of the ninth resistor R9 and the second end of the tenth resistor R10, respectively.
[0061] Some embodiments of the multi-parallel LED light string safety control system further include a switch circuit 80, referring to Figure 8The first end of the switch circuit 80 is connected to the processor 50, the second end of the switch circuit 80 is connected to the first ground point, and the third end of the switch circuit 80 is connected to the second ground point, represented by GND2 in the figure. The first ground point and the second ground point are single-point ground points. When the processor 50 controls the switch circuit 80 to be turned on, the first ground point and the second ground point are connected. When the processor 50 controls the switch circuit 80 to be turned off, the first ground point and the second ground point are disconnected. When the switch circuit 80 is turned off, the entire LED light string safety control system is powered off, and the standby power consumption is reduced to zero, thereby maximizing energy conservation.
[0062] In some embodiments of the multi-parallel LED light string safety control system, reference Figure 9 The switching circuit 80 includes a MOS transistor Q1, an eleventh resistor R11, a twelfth resistor R12, and a thirteenth resistor R13. The gate of the MOS transistor Q1 is connected to the processor 50 via the eleventh resistor R11. The gate of the MOS transistor Q1 is connected to the source of the MOS transistor Q1 via the twelfth resistor R12. The source of the MOS transistor Q1 is connected to the second ground point via the thirteenth resistor R13. The drain of the MOS transistor Q1 is connected to the first ground point. When the processor 50 controls the MOS transistor Q1 to be turned on, the first ground point and the second ground point are connected. When the processor 50 controls the MOS transistor Q1 to be turned off, the first ground point and the second ground point are disconnected. When the MOS transistor Q1 is turned off, the entire LED light string safety control system is powered off, and the standby power consumption is reduced to zero, thereby maximizing energy conservation.
[0063] refer to Figure 10 In some embodiments, the multi-parallel LED light string safety control system further includes a fourteenth resistor R14 and a fourth capacitor C4. The LED driver circuit 10 includes a driver chip U1. A first end of the fourteenth resistor R14 is connected to a feedback input pin FB of the driver chip U1. A second end of the fourteenth resistor R14 is connected to a processor 50. A second end of the fourteenth resistor R14 is connected to a first ground point via the fourth capacitor C4. The processor 50 obtains a feedback voltage from the feedback input pin FB of the driver chip U1 and determines whether the feedback voltage is normal.
[0064] In some embodiments of the multi-parallel LED light string safety control system, reference Figure 11 The LED driver circuit 10 includes a driver chip U1 and an adjustable resistor 90. The current sampling pin CS of the driver chip U1 is connected to a first ground point via the adjustable resistor 90. The output current of the LED driver circuit 10 is adjusted by adjusting the resistance value of the adjustable resistor 90. To reduce the output current of the LED driver circuit 10, the resistance value of the adjustable resistor 90 is increased; to increase the output current of the LED driver circuit 10, the resistance value of the adjustable resistor 90 is decreased.
[0065] Alternatively, the adjustable resistor 90 may be a sliding rheostat, and the output current value of the LED driving circuit 10 can be adjusted by adjusting the resistance value of the sliding rheostat.
[0066] Alternatively, the adjustable resistor 90 may be a plurality of resistors connected in parallel, each resistor being connected in series with a switch, and the resistance value of the adjustable resistor 90 is controlled by controlling the opening and closing of the switch. The number of parallel resistors of the adjustable resistor 90 can be selected as required, for example Figure 12 The adjustable resistor 90 includes three parallel resistors: a resistor R55, a resistor R74, and a resistor R77. The resistor R77 is connected in series with the switch SW1, the resistor R74 is connected in series with the switch SW2, and the resistor R55 is connected in series with the switch SW3. The resistance value of the adjustable resistor 90 is controlled by controlling the opening and closing of the switches SW1, SW2, and SW3.

Different faults are fed back using different fault information to alert personnel to the specific fault information. Alternatively, the feedback circuit may be a display screen, indicator light, or speaker. This embodiment provides feedback to personnel, enabling them to promptly identify any faults in the multi-parallel LED light strings.
