Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Figure 1 One of the schematic diagrams of the power carrier circuit structure provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a carrier 11, a first coupler 12, a rectifier 13, and N decoding lighting units 18, and the decoding lighting unit 18 includes a second coupler 14 and a lighting module 15;

[0030] The output end of the carrier 11 is connected to the first power line 16, and the carrier 11 modulates the carrier signal into the alternating current of the first power line 16 to obtain an alternating current carrier control signal;

[0031] The first port of the first coupler 12 and the input end of the rectifier 13 are both connected to the first power line 16;

[0032] The rectifier 13 converts the AC carrier control signal transmitted by the first power line 16 into DC power to obtain a first DC power signal;

[0033] The first coupler 12 is used to filter out the DC signal and the low-frequency signal in the AC carrier control signal, retain the high-frequency signal in the AC carrier control signal, and obtain the target carrier signal;

[0034] The second port of the first coupler 12 and the output end of the rectifier 13 are connected to the second coupler 14 and the lighting module 15 in each decoding lighting unit 18 through a second power line 17, and the second coupler 14 is in communication connection with the lighting module 15;

[0035] Wherein, the target carrier signal and the first DC power signal are modulated in the second power line 17 to obtain a DC power carrier signal;

[0036] The second coupler 14 is used to couple the target carrier signal from the DC power supply carrier signal, and transmit the target carrier signal to the lighting module 15;

[0037] The lighting module 15 is powered by the DC power carrier signal and operates according to the target carrier signal.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first power line may be specifically connected to an AC power source, and the AC power source provides AC power to the first power line. For example, the AC power source provides 220V AC power or 110V AC power to the first power line.

[0039] The carrier device in the embodiment of the present invention can modulate the carrier signal used to control the lighting device into the alternating current of the first power line. At this time, the obtained alternating current carrier control signal is still transmitted in the first power line, but the alternating current carrier control signal has the characteristics of alternating current and can carry the information of the carrier signal.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present invention, the AC carrier control signal is transmitted to the first coupler and the rectifier respectively, and the rectifier is used to convert the AC signal into a DC signal. Its main function is to convert the variable voltage of the AC power supply into a stable DC voltage to supply electronic equipment and circuits. Therefore, the rectifier in the present invention converts the AC carrier control signal into DC power to obtain a first DC signal.

[0041] The first coupler in the embodiment of the present invention specifically filters out the DC part of the AC carrier control signal, retains the AC signal component, and can further filter out the low-frequency component in the signal, couple the high-frequency signal and pass it on to obtain the target carrier signal, and then transmit the target carrier signal to the second power line.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the rectifier transmits the first DC power signal to the second power line and the first coupler transmits the target carrier signal to the second power line, the target carrier signal and the first DC power signal are loaded together to obtain a DC power carrier signal, which can be used for power supply and also carries the target carrier signal for controlling the lighting module.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present invention, the second power line can directly transmit the DC power carrier signal to the lighting module, thereby providing power to the lighting module. On the other hand, the second coupler can effectively couple the DC power carrier signal to obtain a target carrier signal for controlling the operation of the lighting module, and transmit the target carrier signal to the lighting module, thereby realizing operation control of the lighting module.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present invention, an AC carrier control signal is obtained by modulating a carrier signal into AC power. The AC carrier control signal only needs to use a first power line including only two wires for signal transmission. Subsequently, a DC signal and a low-frequency signal in the AC carrier control signal can be filtered out by a first coupler, and a high-frequency signal in the AC carrier control signal can be retained to obtain a target carrier signal. After the rectifier converts the AC carrier control signal into DC power, the first DC signal is modulated in the second power line at a second power line with only two wires to obtain a DC power carrier signal. The DC power carrier signal can power the lighting module while the second coupler can also couple the target carrier signal from the DC power carrier signal, thereby controlling the operation of the lighting module according to the target carrier signal. The power carrier circuit in the present invention can realize power supply and signal transmission through two wires, which can effectively reduce the utilization rate of the wires and reduce the risk of failure caused by too many wires.

[0046] The first capacitor 121 is connected to the live line 162 and the first port of the first transformer 123 respectively, and the second capacitor 122 is connected to the neutral line 161 and the second port of the first transformer 123 respectively;

[0047] The first capacitor 121 and the second capacitor 122 are used to filter out the DC signal in the AC carrier control signal to obtain a first carrier signal, and the first transformer 123 is used to filter out the low-frequency signal in the first carrier signal to obtain a second carrier signal;

[0048] The third capacitor 124 is connected to the third port of the first transformer 123 and the positive line 171 respectively, and the fourth port of the first transformer 123 is connected to the negative line 172;

[0049] The third capacitor 124 is used to filter out the DC signal in the second carrier signal to obtain a target carrier signal, and transmit the target carrier signal to the second power line 17 .

[0050] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, a first capacitor and a second capacitor are respectively arranged on the neutral line and the live line of the first power line, so that the DC signal in the AC carrier control signal is filtered out by the first capacitor and the second capacitor to obtain a first carrier signal, and then the first carrier signal will be transmitted to the first transformer. The first transformer specifically filters out the low-frequency component in the first carrier signal, and then couples the high-frequency signal and passes it on. In addition, the first transformer can also achieve safe isolation of the signal to obtain a second carrier signal.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the first transformer may be an isolation transformer.

[0052] In this embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the second carrier signal, the first transformer can transmit it to the third capacitor. At this time, the third capacitor can further filter out the DC signal in the second carrier signal, finally obtain the target carrier signal, and transmit the target carrier signal to the second power line.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first coupler can effectively filter out the DC signal and low-frequency signal in the AC carrier control signal and retain the high-frequency signal to finally obtain the target carrier signal.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present invention, since other devices may be connected to many first power lines, the target carrier signal coupled to the first coupler has been attenuated to a certain extent, which is not conducive to subsequent signal transmission. Therefore, a power amplifier connected to the first coupler can be further set in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the first coupler outputs the target carrier signal, it is first amplified by the power amplifier and then input into the second power line.

[0060] The filter is used to filter out high-frequency differential mode signals in the first direct current signal.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the rectifier converts the AC carrier control signal into DC power to obtain a first DC power signal, in order to improve the quality of the DC power signal, the high-frequency differential mode signal in the first DC power signal can be further filtered out by a filter, thereby effectively avoiding the high-frequency signal in the DC power from interfering with the control signal component in the target carrier signal, so that the DC power supply carrier signal meets the requirements of no crosstalk and low attenuation in the subsequent decoding process.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present invention, the high-frequency differential mode signal in the first direct current signal can be effectively filtered out by the filter, thereby effectively ensuring that the high-frequency signal in the direct current signal does not interfere with the target carrier signal.

[0065] Among them, the fourth capacitor 141 is used to filter out the low-frequency signal in the DC power supply carrier signal, and the second transformer 142 is used to couple the target carrier signal from the DC power supply carrier signal and transmit the target carrier signal to the lighting module 15.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present invention, the fourth capacitor can be used to filter out low-frequency components in the target carrier signal, retain high-frequency components in the target carrier signal, and transmit the filtered target carrier signal to the second transformer for processing.

[0067] On the other hand, the fourth capacitor can also effectively avoid a short circuit caused by directly connecting the first port and the second port of the first transformer to the positive line and the negative line.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present invention, the second transformer can couple the target carrier signal from the DC power supply carrier signal, and then transmit the target carrier signal to the lighting module, so that the lighting module can be powered by the second power line while also obtaining the target carrier signal for controlling the lighting.

[0069] Optionally, the circuit further comprises: a decoder, wherein a first port of the decoder is connected to a third port and a fourth port of the second transformer, and a second port of the decoder is communicatively connected to the lighting module;

[0071] In the embodiment of the present invention, the decoder may specifically refer to decoding the target carrier signal transmitted by the second transformer into a pulse width modulation signal, and the control of the lighting module may be more conveniently achieved through the pulse width modulation signal.

[0072] Optionally, the circuit further comprises: a microcontroller, the microcontroller being communicatively connected with the decoder and the lighting module respectively;

[0073] Wherein, the microcontroller is used to control the operation of the lighting module through the pulse width modulation signal.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present invention, there is receiving communication and sending communication between the microcontroller and the decoder. The decoder can send the decoded pulse width modulation signal to the microprocessor. The microprocessor can control the operation of the lighting module through the pulse modulation signal according to the execution command, such as controlling the brightness modulation of the lighting module, etc.
