Description

Technical Field

[0002] Thyristor dimming technology is a traditional dimming technology. Currently, the circuits using thyristor dimming in the industry mainly include European 230V dimmers and US 120V dimmers. Due to the different regions and requirements for use of European 230V dimmers and US 120V dimmers, the mains input voltages used are different. Their dimming circuits are independent and cannot achieve adaptive adjustment of multiple voltages on a single dimmer. This leads to poor compatibility and low applicability. When compatibility is required, two specifications of dimmers need to be equipped for dimming processing, which is costly and requires manual judgment and conversion. The steps are cumbersome and labor-intensive. Conversion errors are prone to damage to connected equipment and cannot meet the existing voltage ranges in various regions around the world.

[0013] A compatible dimming method for the compatible thyristor dimming circuit includes the following steps:

[0014] (1) Electrical connection: The input terminal is connected to the mains electricity, and the power supply circuit provides power to the circuit in the compatible thyristor dimming circuit and the control chip U4 after voltage transformation;

[0015] (2) Peak voltage sampling: After the mains is connected, the rectifier bridge of the peak voltage sampling circuit is used for rectification to obtain the rectified output voltage and the pulsed DC voltage. The pulsed DC voltage is input to the linear compensation circuit for processing. The rectified output voltage is processed by the resistor RR1. The resistor RR1 attenuates the peak noise interference of the rectified output voltage to reduce the influence of the interference. The rectified output voltage after attenuation is used to charge and discharge the film capacitor CB1 to obtain a pulse voltage, which is then rectified by the diode D1 and output to the electrolytic capacitor EC1 for filtering to obtain a peak DC voltage.

[0016] (3) Mains input detection: The DC voltage obtained by the peak voltage sampling action is processed by the mains input detection circuit, and the DC voltage is divided by resistors R7, R8 and R10. The divided voltage is input to the positive pin of the follower comparator U2 through the connection point B. The three-terminal voltage regulator U3 is connected to the negative pin of the follower comparator U2 to generate a voltage of a reference voltage source after power is turned on. The divided voltage obtained by the positive pin of the follower comparator U2 is compared with the reference voltage of the reference voltage source obtained by the negative pin. If the input voltage is 120V, the divided voltage at the connection point B is lower than the reference voltage of the negative pin, the follower comparator U2 outputs a low level, the MOS tube Q2 of the output circuit is cut off and does not conduct, and the dimming control detection signal can only be divided by the resistors R2, R3 and R13 of the first voltage divider circuit to obtain a secondary divided voltage. The secondary divided voltage is input to the pin DIM of the control chip U4 through the connection point C for dimming processing;

[0017] If the input voltage is 230V, the divided voltage at the connection point B is higher than the reference voltage of the negative pin, the follower comparator U2 outputs a high level, the MOS tube Q2 of the output circuit is saturated and turned on, and the resistors R9 and R13 are connected in parallel. The dimming control detection signal is obtained by dividing the resistors R2, R3, R13, and R9 of the first voltage divider circuit to obtain a secondary divided voltage at the connection point C, which is then input to the pin DIM of the control chip U4. The obtained voltage can almost maintain the corresponding potential of the control voltage when the input is 120V;

[0018] (4) Linear compensation processing: The pulsed DC voltage passes through the voltage divider circuit composed of resistors R1, R4 and R5 to obtain the divided voltage of the connection point A, which is input to the positive pin 1 of the follower comparator U1. The output end follows the divided voltage of the positive pin 1 to output. When the input voltage is in the 120V voltage range, the divided voltage of the connection point A obtained by voltage division will be lower than the minimum working voltage of the Zener diode ZD1, which is equivalent to the Zener diode ZD1 being cut off. Therefore, the linear compensation circuit does not compensate for the dimming detection voltage of the pin DIM; when the input working voltage is in the 230V high voltage range, the divided voltage of the connection point A obtained by voltage division will be higher than the minimum working voltage of the Zener diode ZD1. Therefore, the linear compensation circuit compensates for the dimming detection voltage of the pin DIM accordingly.

[0019] (5) Output drive: The voltage after the linear compensation circuit is supplemented and processed passes through the output circuit. After the output circuit is processed by the transformer T, the voltage is driven by the output terminal Vout+ and the output terminal Vout- to drive the dimming action.

[0020] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The present invention realizes automatic judgment of mains input, peak voltage sampling processing and linear compensation by setting a peak voltage sampling circuit, a mains input detection circuit, a linear compensation circuit, a first voltage divider circuit, a second voltage divider circuit and a control chip U4, so that the thyristor dimming circuit can be compatible with thyristor dimming application products that work at full voltages such as US standard 120V and European standard 230V, greatly improving compatibility and applicability, and there is no need to set up two dimming circuits of different specifications, reducing the cost and the overall volume of the dimmer, while eliminating the need for manual judgment and conversion of the input mains voltage, improving compatibility efficiency, and by setting a linear compensation circuit to perform corresponding compensation for the dimming detection voltage, ensuring dimming smoothness, dimming efficiency and effect; the circuit structure of the present invention is simple, meeting the use of the existing voltage ranges in various regions of the world, and by setting a rectifier bridge for sorting and protection, ensuring the service life of the compatible thyristor dimming circuit, and attenuating the peak noise, reducing interference, and ensuring the accuracy of peak voltage sampling.

The resistor RR1 attenuates the peak noise interference of the rectified output voltage to reduce the influence of the interference. The rectified output voltage after attenuation is used to charge and discharge the film capacitor CB1 to obtain a pulse voltage, which is then rectified by the diode D1 and output to the electrolytic capacitor EC1 for filtering to obtain a peak DC voltage.

[0036] (3) Mains input detection: The DC voltage obtained by the peak voltage sampling action is processed by the mains input detection circuit, and the DC voltage is divided by resistors R7, R8 and R10. The divided voltage is input to the positive pin of the follower comparator U2 through the connection point B. The three-terminal voltage regulator U3 is connected to the negative pin of the follower comparator U2 to generate a voltage of a reference voltage source after power is turned on. The divided voltage obtained by the positive pin of the follower comparator U2 is compared with the reference voltage of the reference voltage source obtained by the negative pin. If the input voltage is 120V, the divided voltage at the connection point B is lower than the reference voltage of the negative pin, the follower comparator U2 outputs a low level, the MOS tube Q2 of the output circuit is cut off and does not conduct, and the dimming control detection signal can only be divided by the resistors R2, R3 and R13 of the first voltage divider circuit to obtain a secondary divided voltage. The secondary divided voltage is input to the pin DIM of the control chip U4 through the connection point C for dimming processing;

[0037] If the input voltage is 230V, the divided voltage at the connection point B is higher than the reference voltage of the negative pin, the follower comparator U2 outputs a high level, the MOS tube Q2 of the output circuit is saturated and turned on, and the resistors R9 and R13 are connected in parallel. The dimming control detection signal is obtained by dividing the resistors R2, R3, R13, and R9 of the first voltage divider circuit to obtain a secondary divided voltage at the connection point C, which is then input to the pin DIM of the control chip U4. The obtained voltage can almost maintain the corresponding potential of the control voltage when the input is 120V;

[0038] (4) Linear compensation processing: The pulsed DC voltage passes through the voltage divider circuit composed of resistors R1, R4 and R5 to obtain the divided voltage of the connection point A, which is input to the positive pin 1 of the follower comparator U1. The output end follows the divided voltage of the positive pin 1 to output. When the input voltage is in the 120V voltage range, the divided voltage of the connection point A obtained by voltage division will be lower than the minimum working voltage of the Zener diode ZD1, which is equivalent to the Zener diode ZD1 being cut off. Therefore, the linear compensation circuit does not compensate for the dimming detection voltage of the pin DIM; when the input working voltage is in the 230V high voltage range, the divided voltage of the connection point A obtained by voltage division will be higher than the minimum working voltage of the Zener diode ZD1. Therefore, the linear compensation circuit compensates for the dimming detection voltage of the pin DIM accordingly.

[0039] (5) Output drive: The voltage after the linear compensation circuit is supplemented and processed passes through the output circuit. After the output circuit is processed by the transformer T, the voltage is driven by the output terminal Vout+ and the output terminal Vout- to drive the dimming action.

[0040] The present invention realizes automatic judgment of mains input, peak voltage sampling processing and linear compensation by setting a peak voltage sampling circuit, a mains input detection circuit, a linear compensation circuit, a first voltage divider circuit, a second voltage divider circuit and a control chip U4, so that the thyristor dimming circuit can be compatible with thyristor dimming application products with full voltage operation such as US standard 120V and European standard 230V, greatly improving compatibility and applicability, and there is no need to set up two dimming circuits of different specifications, reducing the cost and the overall volume of the dimmer, while eliminating the need for manual judgment and conversion of the input mains voltage, improving compatibility efficiency, and by setting a linear compensation circuit to perform corresponding compensation for the dimming detection voltage, ensuring dimming smoothness, efficiency and effect; the circuit structure of the present invention is simple, meeting the use of the existing voltage ranges in various regions of the world, and by setting a rectifier bridge for sorting and protection, ensuring the service life of the compatible thyristor dimming circuit, and attenuating the peak noise, reducing interference, and ensuring the accuracy of peak voltage sampling.

The pulse DC voltage is input to the linear compensation circuit for processing. The rectified output voltage is processed by the resistor RR1. The resistor RR1 attenuates the peak noise interference of the rectified output voltage to reduce the impact of the interference. The rectified output voltage after attenuation is used to charge and discharge the film capacitor CB1 to obtain a pulse voltage, which is then rectified by the diode D1 and output to the electrolytic capacitor EC1 for filtering to obtain a peak DC voltage. (3) Mains input detection: The DC voltage obtained by the peak voltage sampling action is processed by the mains input detection circuit, and the DC voltage is divided by resistors R7, R8 and R10. The divided voltage is input to the positive pin of the follower comparator U2 through the connection point B. The three-terminal voltage regulator U3 is connected to the negative pin of the follower comparator U2 to generate a voltage of a reference voltage source after power is turned on. The divided voltage obtained by the positive pin of the follower comparator U2 is compared with the reference voltage of the reference voltage source obtained by the negative pin. If the input voltage is 120V, the divided voltage at the connection point B is lower than the reference voltage of the negative pin, the follower comparator U2 outputs a low level, the MOS tube Q2 of the output circuit is cut off and does not conduct, and the dimming control detection signal can only be divided by the resistors R2, R3 and R13 of the first voltage divider circuit to obtain a secondary divided voltage. The secondary divided voltage is input to the pin DIM of the control chip U4 through the connection point C for dimming processing; If the input voltage is 230V, the divided voltage at the connection point B is higher than the reference voltage of the negative pin, the follower comparator U2 outputs a high level, the MOS tube Q2 of the output circuit is saturated and turned on, and the resistors R9 and R13 are connected in parallel.
