Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dimming, and in particular to a method for controlling a lamp assembly and related components. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the brightness of LED (Light-Emitting Diode) lights is often controlled via PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signals. Adjusting the high-level duration of the PWM signal adjusts the average current output of the LED driver circuit, resulting in different brightness levels. Typically, LEDs of the same color are controlled by a single PWM signal. When lower brightness is required, a lower duty cycle PWM signal is output, with the high-level duration shorter than the on-time and off-time of the driver circuit, causing the LED to flicker or turn off. Conversely, adjusting the duty cycle to a higher value results in a higher minimum brightness, a smaller adjustable brightness range, and a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0015] If the first duty cycle is less than the complementary duty cycle of the duty cycle threshold, then a PWM signal with a third duty cycle is output to the drive circuit to control C of the lamps to emit light, and a complementary PWM signal with a third duty cycle is output to the drive circuit to control B of the lamps to emit light, so that A of the lamps emit light to achieve the required brightness within one PWM signal cycle.

[0016] Preferably, the third duty cycle is expressed by a third relational formula. Determined, where d is the third duty cycle and b is the first duty cycle.

[0017] After determining whether the first duty cycle is less than the duty cycle threshold, the preferred method further includes:

[0018] If the first duty cycle is not less than the duty cycle threshold, a PWM signal with a fourth duty cycle is output to the drive circuit to control C of the lamps to emit light. A PWM signal with a 100% duty cycle is output to the drive circuit to control B of the lamps to emit light, so that A of the lamps emit light to achieve the required brightness within one PWM signal cycle.

[0019] Preferably, the fourth duty cycle is expressed by a fourth relational expression. Determined, where f is the fourth duty cycle and b is the first duty cycle.

[0020] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention also provides a control system for a lamp assembly, wherein the lamp assembly includes A lamps, where A is a positive integer not less than 2;

[0021] The system includes:

[0022] The determining unit is used to determine the first duty cycle of the PWM signal that controls the A lamps to emit light based on the required brightness.

[0023] The judgment unit is used to determine whether the first duty cycle is less than the duty cycle threshold, and the PWM signal corresponding to the duty cycle threshold satisfies the condition that the lamp does not flicker or turn off; if so, the output unit is triggered.

[0037] The core of this invention is to provide a control method and related components for a lamp assembly that can prevent lamp flickering while achieving normal light emission.

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] In existing technologies, the brightness of LED (Light-Emitting Diode) lights is often controlled via PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signals. Adjusting the high-level duration of the PWM signal adjusts the average current output of the LED driver circuit, resulting in different brightness levels. Typically, LEDs of the same color are controlled by a single PWM signal. When lower brightness is required, a lower duty cycle PWM signal is output, with the high-level duration shorter than the on-time and off-time of the driver circuit, causing the LED to flicker or turn off. Conversely, adjusting the duty cycle to a higher value results in a higher minimum brightness, a smaller adjustable brightness range, and a poor user experience.

[0040] Figure 1 The flowchart of a control method for a lamp group provided by the present invention is shown. The lamp group includes A lamps, where A is a positive integer not less than 2.

[0041] The methods include:

[0042] S11: Determine the first duty cycle of the PWM signal that controls the illumination of lamp A based on the required brightness;

[0043] The first duty cycle of the PWM signal output to the drive circuit is determined according to the actual brightness requirement. The drive circuit will output current according to the first duty cycle to control the lamp to emit light. The brightness of the A lamps corresponding to the PWM signal of the first duty cycle meets the actual brightness requirement.

[0044] S12: Determine whether the first duty cycle is less than the duty cycle threshold. The PWM signal corresponding to the duty cycle threshold satisfies the condition that the lamp does not flicker or turn off. If so, proceed to step S13.

[0045] Considering that the electronic components in the drive circuit include transistors or MOSFETs, when the PWM signal is transmitted to the drive circuit, these components have on-time and off-time. If the duration of the PWM high level is less than the sum of the on-time and off-time, the lamp will not light up; if the duration of the PWM high level is slightly longer than the sum of the on-time and off-time, the lamp will light up for a shorter time, resulting in flickering. Therefore, a reasonable duty cycle threshold needs to be set. As long as the duty cycle is greater than the threshold, the duration of the high level will be sufficient for the lamp to light up normally without flickering.

[0046] S13: Output a PWM signal with a second duty cycle to the drive circuit to control B lamps in the lamp group to emit light, so that B lamps emit light to reach the required brightness within one PWM signal cycle. The second duty cycle is greater than the duty cycle threshold, B is a positive integer less than A, and B lamps are evenly distributed in the lamp group.

[0047] If the first duty cycle is less than the duty cycle threshold, it means that using the PWM signal output with the first duty cycle to control LED A will cause LED A to turn off or flicker. Therefore, to control LED B of LED A to achieve the same brightness as LED A within one PWM signal cycle, the drive circuit must output a larger current, requiring a larger second duty cycle. To prevent LED B from turning off or flickering, the second duty cycle needs to be greater than the duty cycle threshold.

[0048] Figure 2a A schematic diagram of the arrangement of a lamp assembly provided by the present invention; Figure 2b This is a schematic diagram of another lamp arrangement provided by the present invention; Figure 2c This is a schematic diagram of another lamp arrangement provided by the present invention;

[0049] The B lights are evenly distributed within the light group. If the B lights are not arranged evenly, some areas may be too bright while others are too dark, resulting in a poor user experience. To improve the user experience, evenly distributing the B lights within the light group and selecting only B lights to illuminate will provide a better user experience.

[0050] Figure 2a , Figure 2b and Figure 2c In the diagram, the black circle represents the selected light B.

[0051] It should be noted that the arrangement of the light clusters includes, but is not limited to, the following: Figure 2a , Figure 2b and Figure 2c The method given is not subject to further restrictions in this application.

[0052] It should also be noted that the lights provided in this application include, but are not limited to, LED lights or OLED lights, and may also be other lights controlled by PWM signals. This application does not impose any further limitations on them here.

[0053] This application provides a control method and related components for a lamp assembly, applied in the field of dimming. The lamp assembly includes A lamps. A first duty cycle of the PWM signal controlling the A lamps is set according to the actual required brightness. It is determined whether the first duty cycle exceeds a duty cycle threshold. The PWM signal corresponding to the duty cycle threshold ensures that the lamps do not flicker or turn off. When the required brightness is low, the first duty cycle does not exceed the duty cycle threshold, resulting in a lower duty cycle and shorter high-level time for the PWM signal controlling all lamps, which can easily cause flickering. In this case, a second duty cycle PWM signal is used to control B lamps out of the A lamps. The second duty cycle is greater than both the first and the duty cycle threshold, thus avoiding flickering. Simultaneously, B lamps achieve the required brightness within one PWM signal cycle, achieving normal illumination.

[0054] Based on the above embodiments:

[0055] As a preferred embodiment, the second duty cycle is determined by the first relationship. Determine, where b is the first duty cycle and c is the second duty cycle.

[0056] If we consider the brightness of the lamp and the current output by the driver circuit as having a linear relationship, then the duty cycle is positively correlated with the current output by the driver circuit, and the current is positively correlated with the brightness. Under the same current, the brightness is positively correlated with the number of lamps. Therefore, the product of the second duty cycle c and B should be the product of the first duty cycle b and A. After simplification, we get...

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the values ​​of A and B satisfy the second relation. Where φ min φ is the luminous flux of a single lamp when the duty cycle of the PWM signal is the duty cycle threshold. max This represents the luminous flux of a single lamp when the duty cycle of the PWM signal is 100%.

[0058] If the number of B lamps is too small, even if the duty cycle of the PWM signal reaches 100%, the current output by the drive circuit will not be able to control the brightness of the B lamps to meet the actual requirements. To avoid this situation, the values ​​of A and B need to satisfy... Under the condition that the second relation is satisfied, the illumination of B lamps can meet the actual brightness requirements to satisfy the user's needs.

[0059] In one preferred embodiment, the driving circuit controls B lamps and C lamps to emit light respectively, where C = AB;

[0060] After determining whether the first duty cycle is less than the duty cycle threshold, the process also includes:

[0061] If the first duty cycle is not less than the duty cycle threshold, then determine whether the first duty cycle is less than the complementary duty cycle of the duty cycle threshold;

[0062] If the first duty cycle is less than the complementary duty cycle of the duty cycle threshold, then the PWM signal of the third duty cycle is output to the drive circuit to control C lamps to light up, and the complementary PWM signal of the third duty cycle is output to the drive circuit to control B lamps to light up, so that A lamps can light up to the required brightness within one PWM signal cycle.

[0063] The A lamps are divided into two groups: one group with B lamps and the other group with C lamps. The driver circuit outputs different currents to control the lamps to light up. If the first duty cycle is not less than the duty cycle threshold 'a', then it is necessary to determine whether the first duty cycle is less than the complementary duty cycle (1-a) of the duty cycle threshold. If the first duty cycle 'b' is less than (1-a), then PWM signals with different duty cycles need to be output to the drive current to control the two groups of lamps respectively.

[0064] Specifically, a PWM signal with a third duty cycle d is output to the driver circuit, so that the driver circuit outputs the current corresponding to the third duty cycle d to the B lamps to control the lamps to light up. A complementary (1-d) PWM signal with the third duty cycle is output to the driver circuit, so that the driver circuit outputs the current corresponding to (1-d) duty cycles to the C lamps.

[0065] This control method allows lamps B and C to light up independently, achieving the required brightness within one PWM signal cycle.

[0066] After determining whether the first duty cycle is less than the complementary duty cycle of the duty cycle threshold, the process also includes:

[0067] If the first duty cycle is not less than the complementary duty cycle of the duty cycle threshold, then the PWM signal of the first duty cycle is output to the drive circuit to control A lamps to emit light, so that A lamps emit light to achieve the required brightness within one PWM signal cycle.

[0068] If the first duty cycle is not less than the complement (1-a) of the duty cycle threshold, then it proves that the first duty cycle is large at this time, and all the lamps need to be lit to meet the actual brightness requirement. There is no need to control the B lamps and C lamps to emit light at different brightness levels.

[0069] As a preferred embodiment, the third duty cycle is determined by a third relational expression. Determined, where d is the third duty cycle and b is the first duty cycle.

[0070] If we consider the brightness of the lamps and the current output by the drive circuit as having a linear relationship, the duty cycle is positively correlated with the current output by the drive circuit, the current is positively correlated with the brightness, and under the same current, the brightness is positively correlated with the number of lamps. The third duty cycle 'd' controls C lamps to emit light. The complementary (1-d) of the third duty cycle controls B lamps to emit light, resulting in d*C + (1-d)*B = b*(B+C). This equation can be derived as follows:

[0071] As a preferred embodiment, after determining whether the first duty cycle is less than the duty cycle threshold, the method further includes:

[0072] If the first duty cycle is not less than the duty cycle threshold, a PWM signal with the fourth duty cycle is output to the drive circuit to control C lamps to light up, and a PWM signal with a 100% duty cycle is output to the drive circuit to control B lamps to light up, so that A lamps can light up to the required brightness within one PWM signal cycle.

[0073] The above logic divides the first duty cycle into three intervals: [0, a), [a, 1-a), and [1-a, 1]. This may be inconvenient during control. Therefore, this application provides another logic: the first duty cycle is directly divided into two intervals: less than the duty cycle threshold and not less than the duty cycle threshold. If it is not less than the duty cycle threshold, B lights are controlled at 100% duty cycle, and the remaining brightness is supplemented by C lights. If it is less than the duty cycle threshold, the method is the same as above.

[0074] As a preferred embodiment, the fourth duty cycle is determined by the fourth relation. Determined, where f is the fourth duty cycle and b is the first duty cycle.

[0075] Similarly, from f*C+B=b*(B+C), we can derive the following:

[0076] Figure 3 This invention provides a schematic diagram of a control system for a lighting assembly, the system comprising:

[0077] The determining unit 31 is used to determine the first duty cycle of the PWM signal that controls the A lamps to emit light according to the required brightness.

[0078] The judgment unit 32 is used to determine whether the first duty cycle is less than the duty cycle threshold. The PWM signal corresponding to the duty cycle threshold satisfies the condition that the lamp does not flicker or turn off. If yes, the output unit is triggered; if no, the second judgment unit is triggered.

[0079] Output unit 33 is used to output a PWM signal with a second duty cycle to the drive circuit to control B lamps in the lamp group to emit light, so that B lamps emit light to reach the required brightness within one PWM signal cycle. The second duty cycle is greater than the duty cycle threshold, B is a positive integer less than A, and B lamps are evenly distributed in the lamp group.

[0080] The second duty cycle is determined by the first relationship. Determine, where b is the first duty cycle and c is the second duty cycle.

[0081] The values ​​of A and B satisfy the second relation. Where φ min φ is the luminous flux of a single lamp when the duty cycle of the PWM signal is the duty cycle threshold. max This represents the luminous flux of a single lamp when the duty cycle of the PWM signal is 100%.

[0082] The driving circuit controls B lamps and C lamps to light up respectively, where C = AB;

[0083] Also includes:

[0084] The second judgment unit is used to determine whether the first duty cycle is less than the complementary duty cycle of the duty cycle threshold; if yes, the second output unit is triggered; if no, the third output unit is triggered.

[0085] The second output unit is used to output a PWM signal with a third duty cycle to the drive circuit to control C lamps to light up, and to output a complementary PWM signal with a third duty cycle to the drive circuit to control B lamps to light up, so that A lamps can light up to the required brightness within one PWM signal cycle.

[0086] The third duty cycle is determined through the third relational formula. Determined, where d is the third duty cycle and b is the first duty cycle.

[0087] The third output unit is used to output a PWM signal with a fourth duty cycle to the drive circuit to control C lamps to light up, and a PWM signal with a 100% duty cycle to the drive circuit to control B lamps to light up, so that A lamps can light up to the required brightness within one PWM signal cycle.

[0088] The fourth duty cycle is expressed through the fourth relation. Determined, where f is the fourth duty cycle and b is the first duty cycle.
