[0002] With the development of technology, more and more lighting fields choose to use LED products, especially high-power LED products. Due to the advantages of high light efficiency, long life, green environmental protection, intelligent control, etc., LED has become a new generation of lighting source.

[0003] With the popularity of LED lights, people have higher and higher requirements for the lighting status of LED lights. Currently, the main way to adjust the lighting status on the market is to use a dial switch or an infrared remote control to adjust the status. However, the infrared remote control is easily lost during use.

[0004] Chinese patent application number 202010579612.6 discloses an infrared integrated circuit for adjusting the light state. The infrared signal is reflected by the human body to the infrared integrated receiving tube IR1, and a carrier signal is added to the transmission to increase the anti-interference ability. The controller U2 identifies the user's intention by performing timing judgment on the output signal of the infrared integrated receiving tube IR1, thereby achieving the user's purpose of adjusting the light state.

[0005] Although the above-mentioned public patent integrates the remote control directly into the lamp to prevent the remote control from being lost, the above-mentioned public patent identifies the user's dimming intention through the reflection of infrared signals by the human body. In order to avoid false triggering, the dimming control can only be achieved by covering the top of the sleeve with the palm of the hand multiple times in a certain pattern during dimming, which is inconvenient to operate.

[0013] In order to store the current PWM output signal so as to maintain the current state output when powered on next time, further, the chip of the dimming controller U1 is a N76E003 type with a storage unit.

[0014] In the present invention, the method for realizing a lamp that realizes a dimming function by pressing a mask further comprises the following steps:

[0015] (i) After the lamp is powered on, the dimming controller U1 reads the PWM output signal stored in the storage unit, and then lights up the LED light source through PWM output;

[0016] (2) The infrared receiving tube IR1 continuously receives the infrared signal continuously emitted by the infrared emitting tube IR2;

[0020] Furthermore, in the present invention, in the method for realizing a lamp that realizes a dimming function by pressing a mask, the PWM output signal stored in the dimming controller U1 overwrites the previous PWM output signal.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. The present invention causes the long strip PCB board to deform by pressing the mask, so that the relative angle between the infrared transmitting tube IR2 and the infrared receiving tube IR1 changes, thereby changing the intensity of the infrared signal received by the infrared receiving tube IR1.

The dimming controller U1 identifies whether the intensity of the infrared signal received by the infrared receiving tube IR1 changes to judge the dimming operation, thereby adjusting the PWM output signal and changing the lighting effect of the LED light source; the dimming action is performed by pressing the mask, and the possibility of false triggering is low, so a dimming action can be achieved by pressing the mask only once, thereby facilitating fast dimming operations; the lamp does not need to open a hole to place a dip switch, which is beneficial to the waterproofing of the lamp, and does not need to be matched with a remote control separately, saving costs, and at the same time preventing the loss of the remote control and environmental pollution caused by the remote control battery.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, the resistor R2 can convert the current change on the infrared receiving tube IR1 into a voltage signal recognizable by the dimming controller U1, so that the dimming controller U1 can determine whether the infrared receiving tube IR1 receives a changed infrared signal.

[0048] Furthermore, in the method for realizing a lamp that realizes a dimming function by pressing a mask described in the present invention, in step (iv), after the dimming controller U1 completes a PWM output signal adjustment, the current PWM output signal is stored in the storage unit.

[0049] Furthermore, in the method for realizing a lamp that realizes a dimming function by pressing a mask described in the present invention, the PWM output signal stored in the dimming controller U1 overwrites the previous PWM output signal.

[0050] In summary, the present invention causes the long strip PCB board to deform by pressing the mask, so that the relative angle between the infrared transmitting tube IR2 and the infrared receiving tube IR1 changes, thereby changing the intensity of the infrared signal received by the infrared receiving tube IR1, and judging the dimming operation by identifying whether the intensity of the infrared signal received by the infrared receiving tube IR1 changes through the dimming controller U1, thereby adjusting the PWM output signal and changing the lighting effect of the LED light source; the present invention performs the dimming action by pressing the mask, and the possibility of false triggering is low, so a dimming action can be achieved by pressing the mask only once, thereby facilitating rapid dimming operation; the lamp of the present invention does not need to open a hole to place a dial switch, which is beneficial to the waterproofness of the lamp, and does not need to match the remote control separately, saving costs, and preventing the loss of the remote control and the environmental pollution caused by the remote control battery; the chip of the dimming controller U1 of the present invention is N76E003 type with a storage unit, which can store the current PWM output signal, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the current state output when powered on next time.
