Description

Technical Field

[0002] As a standard component of automobiles, the rear combination lamps are equipped on all vehicles, whether they are large or small buses, trucks or other vehicles. Due to the need to realize different functions, the rear combination lamps generally include brake lights and position lights. When realizing the brake light function or the position light function, the two lamps will complement each other. For example, when the brake light function is turned on, the lamp beads of the position light are controlled to light up at a certain brightness to achieve the lamp effect of the brake light. For the rear combination lamp powered by the car light controller, only one of the power supply lines of the position light / brake light is needed, and the driver modules of the brake light function and the position light function can be powered on and work.

[0003] The headlight controller generally detects the current on the power supply line to identify whether the function is normal. When switching functions, in order to ensure that the lamp will not turn off and then turn on again, two power supply lines are set to supply power to the brake light and the position light respectively. When the two power supply lines are powered together, the two power supplies will be divided, causing the headlight controller to determine that the current on both power supply lines is out of range, thereby falsely reporting a fault and poor user experience.

[0037] The present embodiment provides a rear combination lamp power switching system, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a first power processing module 1, a second power processing module 2, and a vehicle light controller 3; the first power processing module 1 is connected to the second power processing module 2; the first power processing module 1 and the second power processing module 2 are both connected to the vehicle light controller 3. The first power processing module 1 includes: a first power protection unit 11, a first signal processing unit 12, an output control unit 13 and a first signal detection unit 14, the first power protection unit 11 is connected to the position light power supply line; the first signal processing unit 12 is connected to the first power protection unit 11; the first power protection unit 11 and the first signal processing unit 12 are both connected to the output control unit 13; the first signal detection unit 14 is connected to the position light power supply line. The second power processing module 2 includes: a second power protection unit 21, a second signal processing unit 22 and a second signal detection unit 23. The second power protection unit 21 is connected to the brake light power supply line; the second power protection unit 21 and the first signal processing unit 12 are both connected to the second signal processing unit 22; the second signal detection unit 23 is connected to the brake light power supply line; the first signal detection unit 14 and the second signal detection unit 23 have the same structure and are both connected to the vehicle light controller 3.

[0038] The position light and the brake light are powered by the vehicle body, wherein the first signal processing unit 12 and the second signal processing unit 22 are used for power switching. When power is available in either the brake light or the position light, the subsequent circuit can obtain power. When power is available in both circuits, the first signal processing unit 12 and the second signal processing unit 22 can be combined to cut off the position light power supply line for the subsequent circuit, thereby achieving a high power supply priority for the brake light, avoiding the problem of two-way power shunting, and avoiding false alarms when the rear combination light power supply is powered on, providing a good user experience.

[0039] The first signal detection unit 14 and the second signal detection unit 23 are used for the vehicle light controller 3 to output a control signal to light up the LED with the corresponding function based on the corresponding power signal.

[0040] For example, the first signal detection unit 14 and the second signal detection unit 23 both include: a first diode D3, D6, a first resistor R2, R5, a second resistor R3, R6, a third resistor R1, R4, a first capacitor C1, C2 and a first transistor Q3, Q5; the anode of the first diode D3, D6 is the signal input end of the first signal detection unit 14 or the second signal detection unit 23, the cathode of the first diode D3, D6 is connected to one end of the first resistor R2, R5), the second resistor R3, R6 and the first capacitor C1, C2 are connected in parallel, one end after the parallel connection and the base of the first transistor Q3, Q5 are connected to the other end of the first resistor R2, R5, the other end after the parallel connection and the emitter of the first transistor Q3, Q5 are connected to the common ground end, one end of the third resistor R1, R4 is connected to the 5V power supply end, and the other end is connected to the collector of the first transistor Q3, Q5, and the collector of the first transistor Q3, Q5 is also connected to the car light controller 3.

[0041] For example, the first power protection unit 11 includes a first transient suppression diode T1, a second capacitor C3, a third capacitor C4 and a second diode D1; the first transient suppression diode T1 is connected to the position light power supply line, the first transient suppression diode T1, the second capacitor C3 and the third capacitor C4 are connected in parallel, one end of the connection is connected to the anode of the second diode D1, and the other end is connected to the common ground; the cathode of the second diode D1 is the output end of the first power protection unit 11.

[0042] For example, the first signal processing unit 12 includes a fourth resistor PR3, a fifth resistor PR4 and a second transistor Q2; one end of the fourth resistor PR3 is connected to the output end of the first power protection unit 11, the other end of the fourth resistor PR3 and one end of the fifth resistor PR4 are both connected to the base of the second transistor Q2, the other end of the fifth resistor PR4 and the emitter of the second transistor Q2 are both connected to the common ground, and the collector of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the output control unit 13.

[0043] For example, the output control unit 13 includes a voltage regulator tube D2, a sixth resistor PR1, a seventh resistor PR2 and a MOS tube Q1; the cathode of the voltage regulator tube D2, one end of the sixth resistor PR1 and the source of the MOS tube Q1 are all connected to the output end of the first power protection unit 11, the anode of the voltage regulator tube D2, the other end of the sixth resistor PR1 and one end of the seventh resistor PR2 are all connected to the gate of the MOS tube, the other end of the seventh resistor PR2 is connected to the collector of the second triode Q2, and the drain of the MOS tube Q1 is the output end of the output control unit 13. Among them, the MOS tube Q1 is a P-type MOS tube.

[0044] For example, the second power protection unit 21 includes a second transient suppression diode T2, a fourth capacitor C5, a fifth capacitor C6, a third diode D4 and a fourth diode D5; the anodes of the second transient suppression diode T2 and the third diode D4 are both connected to the brake light power supply line, the cathode of the third diode D4 is connected to the second signal processing unit 22, the second transient suppression diode T2, the fourth capacitor C5 and the fifth capacitor C6 are connected in parallel, one end of the parallel connection is connected to the anode of the fourth diode D5, the other end of the parallel connection is connected to the common ground, and the cathode of the fourth diode D5 is connected to the collector of the second transistor D4.

[0045] For example, the second signal processing unit 22 includes: an eighth resistor PR5, a ninth resistor PR6 and a third triode Q4; one end of the eighth resistor PR5 is connected to the cathode of the third diode D4, the other end of the eighth resistor PR5 and one end of the ninth resistor PR6 are both connected to the base of the third triode Q4, the other end of the ninth resistor PR6 and the emitter of the third triode Q4 are both connected to the common ground, and the collector of the third triode Q4 is connected to the first signal processing unit 12.

[0046] In actual application, the circuit principle is as follows: when the position lamp A is powered alone, the power supply is surge suppressed by the first transient suppression diode T1, filtered by the second capacitor C3 and the third capacitor C4, and divided into two paths after being protected by the second diode D1. One path is divided by the fourth resistor PR3 and the fifth resistor PR4 of the first signal processing unit 12, and the second transistor Q2 is turned on, and the MOS tube Q1 is turned on; after the MOS tube Q1 is turned on, the power signal A+ output by the first power protection unit 11 is output through the MOS tube Q1 to supply power to the subsequent circuit. The first signal detection unit 14 is connected to the vehicle light controller 3. When there is a power supply signal on the position lamp power supply line, the first diode D3 is protected against reverse, and the first transistor Q3 is turned on. The output signal of the first signal detection unit 14 changes from 5V to 0V. After the vehicle light controller 3 is powered on and receives this level change, a corresponding position lamp control signal is generated to light up the corresponding LED of the position lamp. At this time, the vehicle light controller 3 detects that the current on the position lamp power supply line is the working current of the position lamp.

[0047] When the brake light B is powered alone, the power supply is surge suppressed by the second transient suppression diode T2. The fourth capacitor C5 and the fifth capacitor C6 are directly output by the output control unit 13 after being reverse-protected by the fourth diode D5, and are used to power the subsequent circuit. The second signal detection unit 23 is connected to the vehicle light controller 3. When there is a power supply signal on the brake light power supply line, the first diode D6 is reverse-protected, and the first transistor Q5 is turned on. The output signal of the second signal detection unit 23 changes from 5V to 0V. After the vehicle light controller 3 is powered on and receives this level change, a corresponding brake light control signal is generated to light up the corresponding LED of the brake light. At this time, the vehicle light controller 3 detects that the current on the brake light power supply line is the working current of the position light.

[0048] When the position light and the brake light are powered at the same time, the brake light power supply line passes through the second transistor D4 for reverse protection, and then the third transistor Q4 is turned on by the eighth resistor PR5 and the ninth resistor PR6. At this time, the power signal A+ output by the first power protection unit 11 passes through the fourth resistor PR3 and then grounded through the third transistor Q4. Then, the base of the second transistor Q2 has no voltage input and cannot be turned on, and then the MOS tube Q1 cannot be turned on. The power signal A+ output by the first power protection unit 11 is cut off from the path of the output control unit 13, and is only powered by the brake light power supply line. After the vehicle light controller 3 is powered on, the brake / position light signal is detected at the same time, and the corresponding LED of the brake light is lit according to the brake light priority principle.

[0049] Since the current on the position light power supply line does not power the internal LED, the vehicle light controller 3 detects that there is basically no current on the position light power supply line, and the brake light power supply line is the normal working current of the brake light, thereby ensuring that the function is normal when the power supply is switched, the vehicle body light control will not falsely report a fault, and the user experience is good.

[0054] In summary, the rear combination lamp power switching system of the present invention realizes power switching by setting the first signal processing unit 12 and the second signal processing unit 22. When there is power supply in any one of the brake lamp and the position lamp, the subsequent circuit can obtain power supply. When both circuits are powered, the first signal processing unit 12 and the second signal processing unit 22 can be combined to cut off the position lamp power supply line for the subsequent power supply, thereby realizing the high power supply priority of the brake lamp, and avoiding the problem of two-way power shunting, avoiding false alarms when the rear combination lamp power supply is powered on, and providing a good user experience.
