Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of LED detection, and in particular to a detection method for a fluorescent powder-free multi-primary color LED light source module. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of LED technology, LED lighting products have been widely used in various fields, including home lighting, commercial lighting and special lighting. Among them, multi-primary color LED light source modules are favored by the market because they can provide richer and more accurate color performance. Traditional multi-primary color LED light source modules often use phosphors to convert the light emitted by LEDs to achieve the desired color effect. However, the use of phosphors not only increases the manufacturing cost, but also the performance degradation of phosphors after long-term use will affect the color stability and life of the light source.

[0003] In recent years, phosphor-free multi-primary color LED light source modules have gradually become a research hotspot. This type of module produces the required light color by directly combining LED chips of different colors, thus avoiding the problems caused by phosphors. The performance testing and evaluation of phosphor-free multi-primary color LED light source modules has become a new challenge. Traditional testing methods mainly focus on the performance testing of single-color LEDs, but are unable to evaluate the color mixing effect, primary color accuracy, and long-term operation stability of multi-primary color LED modules. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a method for detecting a phosphor-free multi-primary color LED light source module, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S2: Module connection and initialization, check and connect the LED light source module and the detection equipment, and test the connection stability;

[0007] S3: Full performance evaluation and life tracking of LED light source modules. A high-resolution camera is used to obtain the diffraction spectrum and the spectral distribution of the visible light band of the light source.

[0011] Furthermore, the step S1 specifically includes:

[0012] The specific steps of the preparation work include equipment inspection and calibration, so that the indoor test brightness range is 800-1200cd / m², the outdoor test brightness is 5000-6000cd / m², the color temperature range is between 5000K and 6500K, and the photoelectric test instrument is calibrated;

[0017] S23. Use a transmission diffraction grating and a slit to make a light splitting attachment. By strictly controlling the width and spacing of the slits, the diffraction angle of the light is manipulated to achieve the dispersion of visible light radiated by the light source. After diffraction, the originally mixed visible light is accurately separated into monochromatic light of different wavelengths. A high-resolution camera is set behind the light splitting attachment. By adjusting the position and parameters of the camera, the spectrum image after diffraction is captured.

[0018] S24. Use professional photoelectric testing instruments to measure other key parameters of the module, including luminous flux, chromaticity, color coordinates and temperature;

[0019] S25. Check the initialization status by sending a simple test signal to the LED light source module and observing its response.

[0020] Furthermore, the step S3 specifically includes:

[0021] Use illuminance meters, spectrometers, colorimeters, temperature sensors and infrared thermal imagers to record the time series of the luminous flux, chromaticity and color coordinate parameters of the LED light source module, and check the data integrity and accuracy. The sensor is installed in a position that can accurately reflect the environmental conditions to be tested. After installation, the sensor is calibrated and measured multiple times at different spatial positions to ensure that the output data is accurate and reliable. A high-resolution camera is then used to accurately capture the diffraction spectrum to obtain the spectral distribution of the light source in the visible light band.

[0022] Furthermore, the step S4 specifically includes:

[0023] Machine learning technology is used to establish a factor analysis and prediction model. The machine learning method is used to take temperature, humidity and working hours as model inputs, and performance indicators luminous flux, chromaticity, brightness attenuation, and color shift as model outputs. Through the analysis of a large amount of test data, the key factors affecting the performance of LED light source modules are identified, and a prediction model is established based on these factors to predict module performance and the life of the LED light source module.

[0029] S55. Draw a reliability curve of the light source module according to the estimated parameters k and λ. The horizontal axis of the curve represents time t, and the vertical axis represents reliability R(t). The reliability R(t) is calculated by the cumulative distribution function of the Weibull distribution, and the formula is:

[0030] R(t)=exp[-(t / λ) k ];

[0033] S58, comparing the predicted performance parameters with the actual measured values ​​to verify the accuracy of the model, and using the trained BP neural network model to predict the service life of the LED light source module based on the input key factors;

[0034] S59. Based on the analysis results of the above steps, the overall performance of the LED light source module is evaluated to determine whether it meets the preset performance indicators and industry standards.

[0035] Furthermore, the step S6 specifically includes:

[0038] Where ΔL, Δa and Δb represent the differences in the three dimensions of L, a and b respectively;

[0039] In the calculation of the color rendering index, the ΔE value in the CIE 1976 Lab* color space is used to express the color difference value. According to the color difference value between the standard sample and the sample under the reference light source, the average value of the relative color difference is obtained, which is the color rendering index Ra. Ri is the special color rendering index of each color sample, and Ra is the average value of these special color rendering indices.

[0049] Furthermore, the training of the machine learning model specifically includes:

[0083] Step S4: Machine learning feature recognition, using machine learning technology to establish factor analysis and prediction models, identifying key factors that affect the performance of LED light source modules through analysis of a large amount of test data, and establishing a prediction model based on these factors to predict module performance and the life of the LED light source module. The specific steps are:

[0084] S41: Data preprocessing: Check the data collected by the sensor again, remove outliers, missing values ​​or duplicate values, ensure the quality and consistency of the data, normalize the data, including the input variables temperature and humidity, except for the working time, to ensure the stability and convergence speed of the network training, ensure that the data set is large enough and diverse, and output the luminous flux, chromaticity, brightness attenuation, and color shift to train an accurate model;

[0085] S43: Dataset division: the preprocessed data set is divided into a training set, a validation set and a test set.

[0090] S52. The system organizes the collected life data and makes detailed statistics on the specific number of module failures in different time intervals. Based on these data, the survival rate of the modules at each time point is accurately calculated, providing a solid foundation for subsequent reliability analysis.

[0091] S53. Use Weibull distribution to conduct an in-depth reliability assessment. In this assessment, the shape parameter k and scale parameter λ are mainly focused on (assuming the location parameter θ is 0) to comprehensively analyze the reliability characteristics of the module.

[0092] S54. Use the maximum likelihood estimation method to estimate the shape parameter k and scale parameter λ in the Weibull distribution to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the evaluation;

[0093] S55. Based on the estimated parameters k and λ, a reliability curve of the light source module is drawn. The abscissa of the curve represents time t, and the ordinate reflects the reliability R(t). The reliability R(t) can be accurately calculated by the cumulative distribution function of the Weibull distribution, and the formula is expressed as follows:

[0094] R(t)=exp[-(t / λ)k];

According to the color rendering degree of the color sample specified by the International Commission on Illumination, compare the spectral distribution of the light source to be tested with the spectral distribution of the reference light source, and calculate the color difference value ΔE of the color sample under the two light sources. The specific calculation formula of the color difference value ΔE is:

[0101] ΔE=((ΔL) 2 +(Δa) 2 +(Δb) 2 ) 0.5 ;

[0102] Among them, ΔL, Δa and Δb represent the differences in the three dimensions of L, a and b respectively;

[0103] The ΔE value in the CIE 1976 Lab* color space is used to quantify this color difference. The color rendering index Ra is obtained by calculating the average value of the relative color difference between the standard sample under the measured light source and the reference light source, while Ri represents the specific color rendering index of each color sample;

[0104] S62. Combining the performance data and color rendering index predicted by the model, the performance of the LED light source module is divided into the following levels:

[0110] S64. Based on the identified performance influencing factors, match them with the specific hardware design or operating environment of the LED light source module, and propose targeted optimization measures. These suggestions are intended to help improve the overall performance of the module and ensure that it is more stable and efficient in actual applications.

[0111] See also Figure 1 , is a flow chart of an exemplary method for detecting a phosphor-free multi-primary color LED light source module in an embodiment of the present invention. The method for detecting a phosphor-free multi-primary color LED light source module specifically comprises the following steps:

[0112] S101. Before testing the phosphor-free multi-primary color LED light source module, select test instruments that meet international standards and have high precision and high stability, such as flux meters, color temperature meters and spectrum analyzers, to accurately measure the key performance indicators of the module. In order to comprehensively evaluate the performance of the module, other advanced auxiliary equipment such as illuminance meters and colorimeter are also required. The test is carried out in a constant temperature and humidity test room to accurately control environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity and light to ensure the consistency of test conditions. The specific steps of the preparation work include equipment inspection and calibration, so that the indoor test brightness range is 800-1200cd / m², the outdoor test brightness is 5000-6000cd / m², the color temperature range is between 5000K and 6500K, and the optoelectronic test instruments are calibrated. At the same time, the test room is equipped with high-precision temperature control equipment, light control equipment, and data acquisition system.

[0113] S102. Use the appropriate connection cables and interfaces to securely connect the module and the testing equipment, and perform test connections and initialization operations to ensure that all components are in good working condition and verify the stability and effectiveness of the connection. Select and place sensors to ensure that they can accurately capture and record the key parameters of the light source to provide reliable data support for subsequent analysis. Use transmission diffraction gratings and slits to make spectroscopic accessories, adjust the slits to achieve fine dispersion of visible light radiated by the light source, and configure a high-resolution camera to capture the spectral image after diffraction. Use optoelectronic test instruments to comprehensively and accurately measure the core parameters of the module, including luminous flux, chromaticity, color coordinates and temperature, to ensure the accuracy of the data to evaluate the module performance. Send test signals and observe the module response to check its initialization status to ensure that the module can operate normally in subsequent tests.

[0114] S103. Obtain sensor data. Photoelectric performance testing is a key link in evaluating the performance of LED light source modules. By using professional testing instruments, the core parameters of the module, such as luminous flux, chromaticity, and color rendering index, can be accurately measured. These parameters reflect the optical performance of the module and help to understand its characteristics in terms of luminous efficiency and color reproduction ability. The long-term operation test allows the LED light source module to run continuously for 100-1000 hours under rated working conditions, which is determined according to the use time of different LED light sources. The key performance indicators of the module, such as temperature, luminous flux, chromaticity, and color coordinate time series, are regularly recorded. The abnormal phenomena that occur during long-term operation of the module are monitored and recorded. All data during the test process, including test conditions, test parameters, and test results, are recorded in detail for subsequent analysis and processing. During measurement, ensure the stability of the test environment to avoid interference with the test results caused by external factors. At the same time, in order to improve the accuracy and reliability of the test, the test data needs to be collected and averaged multiple times.

[0115] S104. To clean, organize and standardize the collected sensor data to improve data quality and availability, use BP neural network to extract key features from the preprocessed data, such as brightness change rate, chromaticity stability, etc. Based on the extracted features, establish factor analysis and prediction models to reveal the relationship between module performance and environmental conditions, predict the performance of the module under different conditions, and output the weights of related influencing factors and life prediction. By observing the changing trends of these outputs, the performance of the module at different temperatures can be deeply evaluated, and then its thermal stability and working reliability can be understood, which will help to more accurately predict and control the performance of the module in practical applications.

[0116] S105. Using the BP neural network machine learning model, the weights of each input feature in the model are deeply analyzed, the features that have a significant impact on the performance of the LED light source module are accurately identified, the module life data is systematically sorted, the number of failures in different time intervals is counted, and the survival rate at each time point is accurately calculated based on this. The Weibull distribution is used for reliability assessment, and the shape parameter k and scale parameter λ are accurately estimated by the maximum likelihood estimation method. The horizontal axis of the curve represents time t, and the vertical axis represents reliability R(t). The reliability R(t) is calculated by the cumulative distribution function of the Weibull distribution, and the formula is:

[0117] R(t)=exp[-(t / λ) k ];

[0118] Then, the reliability curve of the light source module is drawn, and the performance data predicted by machine learning and the life prediction obtained by reliability analysis are combined to comprehensively evaluate the reliability and stability of the LED light source module. The accuracy of the model is verified by comparing the performance parameters predicted by the model with the actual measured values, and the BP neural network model is used to accurately predict the service life of the module. Based on the results of machine learning and reliability analysis, the overall performance of the LED light source module is comprehensively tested to ensure that it meets the preset performance indicators and industry standards.

[0119] S106. According to the standards of the International Commission on Illumination, the color rendering index is calculated by comparing the spectral distribution of the light source to be tested with the reference light source. The index reflects the color rendering ability of the light source for the color sample. The specific calculation formula of the color difference value ΔE is:

[0120] ΔE=((ΔL) 2 +(Δa) 2 +(Δb) 2 ) 0.5 ;

[0121] Where ΔL, Δa and Δb represent the differences in the three dimensions of L, a and b respectively;

[0122] In the calculation of the color rendering index, the ΔE value in the CIE 1976 Lab* color space is used to represent the color difference value. According to the color difference value between the standard sample and the tested sample under the reference light source, the average value of the relative color difference is obtained, which is the color rendering index Ra. Ri is the special color rendering index of each color sample, and Ra is the average value of these special color rendering indexes. Combining the performance data predicted by the model and the color rendering index, the performance of the LED light source module is carefully divided into four levels: excellent, good, general and unqualified:

[0123] Excellent: Color rendering index ≥90, luminous flux ≥4000lm, X, Y chromaticity coordinate error within ±0.0008, module operating temperature is stable and the fluctuation range is within ±2℃;

[0124] Good: Color rendering index is between 80-90, luminous flux ≥3600lm, X, Y chromaticity coordinate error is within ±0.0014, and operating temperature fluctuates within ±4℃;

[0125] Generally: color rendering index is between 70-80, luminous flux ≥3200lm, X, Y chromaticity coordinate error is within ±0.002, working temperature fluctuation range is ±8℃;

[0126] Unqualified: Color rendering index <70, luminous flux ≤2800lm, but the X, Y chromaticity coordinate error exceeds ±0.002, and the operating temperature fluctuation reaches ±10℃;

[0127] This assessment can help to fully understand the performance of the module, conduct in-depth analysis of the performance parameters that do not meet the standards in the evaluation results, accurately identify the specific performance shortcomings of the LED light source module, and match them with the module's hardware design or operating environment based on these shortcomings in order to propose targeted optimization measures.

[0128] See also Figure 2 , is a flow chart of the photoelectric performance and temperature stability test in an embodiment of the present invention, and the test process specifically includes:

[0129] Step S201, preparations before testing. First, optoelectronic equipment that meets the test requirements needs to be selected, including illuminance meters, spectrometers, colorimeters, etc. They will be used to accurately measure the performance indicators of the phosphor-free multi-primary LED light source module. At the same time, in order to ensure the stability of the test environment, temperature sensors, infrared thermal imagers and other equipment need to be prepared to monitor and record temperature changes during the test in real time. In addition, it is also necessary to build a stable test environment, including installing temperature control equipment and lighting control equipment to simulate different environmental conditions, and configuring an efficient data acquisition system for real-time collection and analysis of test data.

[0130] During the preparation work, it is also necessary to prepare corresponding test software and hardware equipment according to the test requirements. The test software should have data analysis functions with flexible configuration options so that it can be customized according to different test scenarios and conduct in-depth mining and analysis of the collected data. The selection of hardware equipment should focus on its accuracy, stability and reliability to ensure the accuracy and repeatability of the test results.

[0131] Step S202, initial performance test is to evaluate the basic performance of the phosphor-free multi-primary color LED light source module under standard conditions. In this step, it is necessary to measure and record the module's key parameters such as chromaticity, light intensity (luminous flux), temperature, etc. These parameters not only reflect the module's luminous efficiency and lighting capacity, but also are important bases for evaluating performance changes in subsequent tests. In order to ensure the accuracy of the test results, high-precision measuring equipment should be used, and multiple measurements should be performed under constant environmental conditions to take the average value.

[0132] Step S203: When connecting and initializing the phosphor-free multi-primary color LED light source module, it is necessary to strictly follow the standard operating procedures to ensure that the power connection of the module is stable and reliable, the signal transmission is correct, and the necessary software configuration is performed. During the initialization process, it is also necessary to carefully check the various parameter settings of the module, such as brightness, chromaticity, etc., to ensure that they meet the test requirements. The purpose of this step is to lay a solid foundation for subsequent tests and ensure that the module can work normally during the test and output accurate data.

[0133] Step S211, the initial temperature measurement is performed to establish a baseline for temperature changes. In this step, it is necessary to record the initial temperature of the test environment and the temperature of the module before operation. These data will be used for subsequent comparison and analysis of the performance of the module at different temperatures, so as to more accurately evaluate its thermal stability.

[0134] Step S212, thermal stability test is an important step in evaluating the working stability and reliability of the module under different temperature conditions. In this step, by gradually changing the temperature of the test environment, observe and record the performance changes of the module under various temperature conditions, including the changing trends of key parameters such as luminous flux and chromaticity. By in-depth analysis of these data, we can fully understand the working characteristics of the module at different temperatures and provide strong support for its optimization in practical applications.

[0135] Step S204, brightness and chromaticity testing is an important means to evaluate the optical performance of the phosphor-free multi-primary color LED light source module. By using professional brightness testing equipment and chromaticity measuring equipment, the brightness and chromaticity performance of the module under different temperature conditions can be accurately measured. The data is used to analyze the impact of temperature on the optical performance of the module and provide feedback for the optimal design of the module.

[0136] Step S213, long-term operation stability test is a key step in evaluating the reliability and durability of the module in actual applications. In this step, the module is allowed to work continuously for a period of time under set temperature conditions, and its performance is continuously monitored. By paying attention to whether there is performance degradation or other abnormal conditions, the stability and reliability of the module in actual operation can be fully understood.

[0137] Step S205, perform a chromaticity test, using a spectrometer, a colorimeter and other equipment to measure the chromaticity parameters of the light emitted by the phosphor-free multi-primary color LED light source module, such as chromaticity, color coordinates, etc. This step is used to evaluate the color performance stability of the module at different temperatures.

[0138] Step S206: Check and verify the rationality and accuracy of all test data, check and eliminate abnormal data to ensure the reliability of the test results. At the same time, organize and analyze the data to extract useful performance change trends and rules to ensure the rationality and accuracy of the test data and provide a reliable basis for subsequent data analysis and evaluation.

[0139] See also Figure 3 , is an overview diagram of the BP neural network in an embodiment of the present invention, specifically including:

[0140] The BP neural network in the embodiment of the present invention is a multi-layer feedforward neural network applied to factor analysis and life prediction of LED light source modules. The network is trained by the back propagation algorithm to achieve accurate prediction of LED module performance and life. Specifically, it includes:

[0141] Input layer: Receives multi-dimensional feature data related to the LED light source module, such as environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, current, voltage, and the module's own photoelectric parameters. These data are the basis for the machine learning model to perform factor analysis and life prediction.

[0142] Hidden layer: The complex relationship between input features is captured through nonlinear transformation of multiple hidden layers. Each layer increases the nonlinear expression ability of the network through the activation function, so that the model can learn more complex feature representations. In this embodiment, the Sigmoid function is used as the activation function.

[0143] Output layer: The output layer generates performance evaluation indicators and life expectancy prediction values ​​of LED light source modules. These outputs can be used as the basis for module quality assessment and maintenance plan formulation.

[0144] Using the back propagation algorithm, according to the difference between the output layer and the actual label, the error is back propagated layer by layer, and the weights in the network are adjusted. Through multiple iterative training, the network gradually approaches the real input-output mapping relationship.

[0145] During the training process, combined with the characteristics of LED light source modules, appropriate optimization algorithms and learning rate adjustment strategies are used to improve the convergence speed and prediction accuracy of the model. The BP neural network can automatically learn the key factors that affect the performance and life of LED light source modules, providing strong support for improving module design and manufacturing processes; through the trained model, the expected life of LED light source modules in different environments and working conditions can be accurately predicted, providing important reference for corporate product planning and user maintenance plans.

[0146] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flow chart of reliability calculation in an embodiment of the present invention, which specifically includes:

[0147] Step 401, determine the analysis model: select Weibull distribution as the reliability assessment model because it has good adaptability in describing product life and failure mode, and verify whether the data conforms to the characteristics of Weibull distribution through historical data and professional judgment.

[0148] Step 402, data collection: collect failure data or service life data related to the LED light source module, obtain failure data from the actual use environment, or obtain service life data through laboratory testing to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the data.

[0149] Step 403: Establish a likelihood function. Based on the probability density function of the Weibull distribution, a likelihood function is constructed to describe the possibility of model parameters under given data.

[0150] Step 404, parameter solution: by maximizing the likelihood function, the best estimated values ​​of the shape parameter (k) and the scale parameter (λ) of the Weibull distribution are solved, and the parameters are estimated by programming means to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the solution.

[0151] Step 405, verifying the model: Substitute the solved parameters into the probability density function of the Weibull distribution to verify the fitting effect of the model on the actual data. Evaluate the fitting effect of the model by drawing a fitting curve, calculating statistical indicators (such as AIC, BIC), etc., to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the model.

[0152] Step 406, apply the model: Based on the verification results, if the model fitting effect is good, the model can be applied to the reliability evaluation of the LED light source module; if the fitting effect is not good, it is necessary to reconsider the validity of the data or try other distribution models. According to the model evaluation results, formulate targeted reliability improvement measures, such as optimizing product design, improving production processes, etc., to improve the reliability of the LED light source module.

[0153] The Weibull distribution is used as the reliability evaluation model in the embodiment, which has the following advantages over the traditional reliability analysis method:

[0154] Wide adaptability: Weibull distribution can well characterize different failure stages in the product life cycle, such as early failure, random failure, and aging failure (bathtub curve), which makes it more adaptable in analyzing the reliability of complex products.

[0155] Flexible parameter system: shape parameter (β or k), the shape parameter of the Weibull distribution determines the distribution form of the failure rate. When the shape parameter is less than 1, the failure rate decreases with time. When it is equal to 1, the failure rate is a constant. When it is greater than 1, the failure rate increases with time. This flexibility makes the Weibull distribution applicable to products with different failure characteristics. The scale parameter (η) plays the role of enlarging or reducing the coordinate scale, further enhancing the adaptability of the Weibull distribution in reliability assessment.

[0156] Clear analytical expressions: convenient for mathematical processing. The basic reliability functions of Weibull distribution (such as reliability function, failure rate function, etc.) have clear analytical expressions, which enables accurate mathematical processing and analysis in the reliability assessment process. It is easy to fit and verify. The parameters of Weibull distribution can be easily estimated through methods such as maximum likelihood estimation, and the fitting effect of the model can be verified by drawing fitting curves and calculating statistical indicators.

[0157] Predictive Capabilities Future Reliability Prediction: The reliability assessment model based on Weibull distribution can not only analyze current and historical data, but also predict future reliability performance, providing important reference for product design, production and maintenance.

[0158] As a reliability assessment model, Weibull distribution has significant advantages over traditional reliability analysis methods in terms of adaptability, parameter system, analytical expression, practical application background and predictive ability. These advantages make Weibull distribution more effective and reliable in dealing with reliability assessment problems of complex products.
