Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field related to shipbuilding, and in particular to a marine LED navigation light control panel. Background Art
[0002] With the popularity of LED lamps, more and more ships have begun to use LED navigation lights to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction effects. However, after LED lamps are used for a long time, the light intensity will decrease and cannot be restored, commonly known as light decay. When the light decay reaches a certain level and the light intensity cannot meet the limit requirements of the regulations, it may cause some ship navigation safety issues.
[0003] To address this problem, there are two main solutions proposed on the market:
[0004] Solution 1: Install a light intensity sensor near the LED navigation light. When the light intensity does not meet the specification requirements, an alarm will be issued to remind the crew to replace the lamp.
[0005] Solution 2: LED navigation lights should be used within the service life (actual validity period) provided by the manufacturer to maintain the necessary luminous intensity of the LED. This service life should be determined and clearly notified by the lighting manufacturer based on the relevant test results of the LED luminous intensity being weakened under the temperature conditions during the operation of the navigation lights, and appropriate margins should be considered.
[0006] Solutions based on existing technologies all have the following disadvantages:
[0007] The sensor cost based on solution 1 is relatively high, the system design is relatively complex, and the accuracy and reliability of the light intensity sensor need to be verified;
[0008] Based on Solution 2, on the one hand, the crew cannot know the actual specific operating time of the LED navigation lights, and cannot accurately compare it with the service life provided by the manufacturer. On the other hand, there is no corresponding alarm to remind the crew of other faults caused by the LED lights during the service life.
[0009] In view of this, the present invention provides a marine LED navigation light control panel. Summary of the invention
[0010] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a marine LED navigation light control panel, which adds certain detection measures, so as to promptly remind the crew of the light intensity problem of the navigation light and replace the lamp in time to avoid affecting the navigation safety.
[0011] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a marine LED navigation light control panel, comprising a main control substrate and a controller arranged in the main control substrate; a plurality of navigation lights are installed on the main control substrate in a preset installation sequence; the navigation lights include:
[0012] Navigation light control switch, which can control the on / off of each navigation light;
[0013] Navigation light operation timer, showing the total operation time of each navigation light;
[0014] Timeout alarm indicator light provides a visual alarm when the total operating time of each navigation light exceeds the limit;
[0015] The navigation light operation indicator light provides a visual indication of the on, off and abnormal status of each navigation light.
[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, double rows of navigation lights are provided on the main control substrate, and the navigation lights are displayed according to preset custom options.
[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the control logic of the navigation light includes:
[0018] When the LED navigation light is turned on through the navigation light control switch, current is detected in the navigation light circuit, and its corresponding timer starts working;
[0019] When the navigation light control switch is turned off, the timer stops working, and the total operating time of each LED navigation light is obtained through the timer and displayed on the timer panel;
[0020] When the timer reaches the set period, if it exceeds the set period, the alarm indicator light will flash and the buzzer will sound an audible alarm to remind the crew to replace the corresponding lamps in time.
[0021] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the control logic of the navigation light further includes:
[0022] When a certain LED navigation light is turned on normally through the navigation light control switch, the corresponding navigation light operation indicator light is on and in normal operation;
[0023] When the current detection module in the power supply circuit detects that the current is lower than the limit value, it means that the navigation light is in an abnormal state, and the navigation light operation indicator light is flashing, indicating that a fault has occurred. At the same time, the buzzer sends an audible alarm to remind the crew to check the fault in time.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0025] The present invention sets a timer for each LED navigation light to solve the problem of not being able to know the use time of the navigation light; and the crew can timely know the actual specific operation time of the LED navigation light, compare it with the service life provided by the manufacturer, and timely find out that the light decay of the LED navigation light has reached the level that requires replacement of the light; and add a current detection function to the navigation light panel. Once an abnormal state occurs, visual and auditory alarms can be provided on the navigation light control panel, solving the alarm problem of other faults of the LED lamp.

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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. Please refer to Figure 1 The present invention provides a marine LED navigation light control board, comprising a main control substrate 100 and a controller 200 disposed in the main control substrate 100; the main control substrate 100 is as follows Figure 2 As shown in the figure, several groups of navigation lights are installed according to the preset installation sequence; the partial enlarged diagram of each navigation light is shown in Figure 3 As shown, the navigation light comprises:
[0030] Navigation light control switch 1, which can control the on / off of each navigation light;
[0031] Navigation light operation timer 2, showing the total operation time of each navigation light;
[0032] Timeout alarm indicator light 3, providing a visual alarm when the total operating time of each navigation light exceeds the limit;
[0033] Navigation light operation indicator light 4, providing visual indication of each navigation light on, off and abnormal status;
[0034] It is further explained that the navigation light board is also equipped with an alarm buzzer to provide an auditory alarm of abnormal status of the navigation light or the navigation light board; it is also equipped with other corresponding indicating devices.
[0035] The control logic of the navigation lights includes:
[0036] When the LED navigation light is turned on through the navigation light control switch 1, the current is detected in the navigation light circuit, and the corresponding timer 2 starts working; conversely, when the navigation light control switch 1 is turned off, the timer 2 stops working, so the timer 2 can accurately calculate the total operating time of each LED navigation light and display it on the timer panel. When the timer 2 reaches the service life time provided by the manufacturer (set in advance), the timeout alarm indicator 3 is in a flashing state, and the buzzer sounds an audible alarm to remind the crew to replace the corresponding lamp in time.
[0037] When a certain LED navigation light is normally turned on through the navigation light control switch 1, the corresponding navigation light operation indicator 4 is lit to indicate that the light is operating normally. When the current detection module in the power supply circuit detects that the current is lower than a certain limit value, it means that the light is in an abnormal state, and the navigation light operation indicator 4 is in a flashing state to indicate that the light is faulty. At the same time, the buzzer sends an audible alarm to remind the crew to check the fault in time.
