[0076] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0077] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present application involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

In addition, if "and / or" or "and / or" appears in the full text, its meaning includes three parallel schemes. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or a scheme that satisfies both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in the field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.

[0079] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0080] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: the driving circuit includes a power module, a control module, a boost circuit, an H-bridge circuit and a switch array, and the switch array is connected to the light-emitting fiber array; the power module is connected to the boost circuit and the control module, and the boost circuit is connected to the H-bridge circuit; the boost circuit is connected to the H-bridge circuit, and is used to increase the input voltage to the target voltage and then input it into the H-bridge circuit; the control module is connected to the H-bridge circuit, and is used to drive the H-bridge circuit to generate a positive and negative alternating voltage corresponding to the voltage reversal frequency through a pulse driving signal; the H-bridge circuit is connected to the light-emitting fiber array, and is used to output a positive and negative alternating voltage to the light-emitting fiber array, so that the light-emitting fiber array emits light according to the target overall brightness; the control module is connected to the switch array, and is used to control the circuit conduction time of the light-emitting fiber monomers in the light-emitting fiber array connected to the switch array within the display refresh cycle, so that the light-emitting fiber monomers emit light according to the target monomer brightness.

[0081] Traditionally, the brightness of the luminous fiber array composed of luminous fibers is mainly adjusted by directly controlling the voltage or current applied to the two ends of the luminous fiber array. Although this method is direct and effective, it has significant defects: when the current or driving voltage in the loop increases significantly, especially under high brightness requirements, it may cause excessive voltage at the load end, thereby causing the luminous fiber to break down. In other words, the existing driving circuit for the luminous fiber array has low reliability.

[0082] The present application provides a solution. In the driving circuit of the present application, the control module adjusts the frequency of the pulse driving signal according to the voltage reversal frequency corresponding to the target overall brightness to drive the H-bridge circuit to generate a positive and negative alternating voltage corresponding to the voltage reversal frequency, so that the H-bridge circuit outputs the positive and negative alternating voltage to the light-emitting fiber array, so that the light-emitting fiber array can emit light according to the target overall brightness. Compared with the traditional way of adjusting voltage or current, the present application changes the reversal frequency of the positive and negative alternating voltage according to the voltage reversal frequency to adjust the overall brightness of the light-emitting fiber array, avoids the breakdown of the light-emitting fiber caused by large fluctuations in voltage or current, effectively improves the reliability of the driving circuit of the light-emitting fiber array, and thus also improves the overall reliability of the product.

[0083] Based on this, the present application proposes a driving circuit for a light-emitting fiber array.

[0084] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment of the driving circuit of the luminous fiber array of the present application, the driving circuit of the luminous fiber array includes a power module 10, a control module 20, a boost circuit 30, an H-bridge circuit 40 and a switch array 50, and the switch array 50 is connected to the luminous fiber array 60;

[0085] The power module 10 is connected to the boost circuit 30 and the control module 20, and the boost circuit 30 is connected to the H-bridge circuit 40;

[0086] The boost circuit 30 is connected to the H-bridge circuit 40 and is used to boost the input voltage to the target voltage of the light-emitting fiber array 60 and input it into the H-bridge circuit 40;

[0087] The control module 20 is connected to the H-bridge circuit 40 and is used to drive the H-bridge circuit 40 to generate positive and negative alternating voltages according to the voltage inversion frequency corresponding to the target overall brightness;

[0088] The H-bridge circuit 40 is connected to the light-emitting fiber array 60 and is used to output positive and negative alternating voltages to the light-emitting fiber array 60 so that the light-emitting fiber array 60 emits light according to the target overall brightness.

[0089] It should be noted that the power module 10 can be used as a module connected to an external power source, or it can be a module with an independent energy storage device (such as a disposable battery or a rechargeable battery). The luminous fiber array 60 is composed of a predetermined number of luminous fiber monomers 61. The luminous fiber monomers 61 in the luminous fiber array 60 can be simply arranged, or can be formed into a desired pattern through embroidery, weaving and other processes.

[0090] It should also be noted that the switch array 50 includes a plurality of switch units 51, each of which is connected to one or more light-emitting fiber monomers 61 in the light-emitting fiber array 60. The switch array 50 may be composed of an optocoupler relay or an integrated analog switch chip.

[0091] In this embodiment, the driving circuit includes a power module 10, a control module 20, a boost circuit 30, an H-bridge circuit 40 and a switch array 50, wherein the switch array 50 is connected to the light-emitting fiber array 60, wherein the switch unit 51 in the switch array 50 is electrically connected to one or more light-emitting fiber monomers 61 in the light-emitting fiber array 60, thereby the circuit on and off of the light-emitting fiber monomers 61 in the light-emitting fiber array 60 can be realized by controlling the closing and opening of the switch unit 51 in the switch array 50. The power module 10 is connected to the boost circuit 30 and the control module 20, and the boost circuit 30 is connected to the H-bridge circuit 40. The boost circuit 30 is connected to the H-bridge circuit 40, and is used to increase the input voltage to the target voltage and input it into the H-bridge circuit 40, wherein the target voltage is the voltage expected to be loaded on both ends of the light-emitting fiber array 60, thereby realizing constant voltage power supply to the light-emitting fiber array according to the target voltage required.

[0092] The control module 20 is connected to the H-bridge circuit 40, and is used to drive the H-bridge circuit 40 to generate a positive and negative alternating voltage by a voltage inversion frequency corresponding to the target overall brightness, wherein there is a corresponding relationship between the target overall brightness and the voltage inversion frequency, and there is a positive correlation between the voltage inversion frequency and the target overall brightness. The H-bridge circuit 40 is connected to the light-emitting fiber array 60, and is used to output a positive and negative alternating voltage to the light-emitting fiber array 60, so that the light-emitting fiber array 60 emits light according to the target overall brightness. Therefore, this embodiment can adjust the frequency of the pulse drive signal transmitted to the H-bridge circuit by the voltage inversion frequency corresponding to the target overall brightness (that is, the frequency at which the polarity of the voltage is reversed), thereby changing the frequency of the positive and negative alternating voltage polarity reversal output to the light-emitting fiber array 60, so that the light-emitting fiber array 60 emits light according to the target overall brightness. Figure 2 As shown, under the action of applying an electric field to the two electrodes of the light-emitting fiber monomer 61, the electrons in the insulating medium are accelerated to obtain sufficient physical kinetic energy to directly collide with the luminescent center (i.e., electroluminescent material, such as zinc sulfide). When the electrons in the luminescent center are excited, they will transition from the excited state high energy level to the ground state low energy level to emit visible light, which is the electroluminescence phenomenon. If the direction of the electric field does not change, the electrons will only move in one direction and accumulate to cause a reverse electric field inside the luminescent fiber. Finally, the internal and external balance will no longer have electrons collide with the luminescent center, and the luminescence will terminate. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a reverse electric field, that is, to use a negative voltage to accelerate the electrons so that they can produce continuous excitation and luminescence. Therefore, it is necessary to input a positive and negative alternating voltage to drive the luminescent fiber array 60 to emit light continuously and stably. Since the number of times of luminescence is fixed in each luminescence cycle, as the voltage reversal frequency increases (gradually from low frequency to high frequency), the faster the frequency of the polarity reversal of the positive and negative alternating voltage output to the luminescent fiber array 60, the shorter the luminescence cycle of the luminescent fiber array 60 per unit time, and the more times of luminescence, thereby effectively improving the overall brightness of the luminescent fiber array 60. Therefore, this embodiment can adjust the frequency of the pulse drive signal transmitted to the H-bridge circuit according to the voltage reversal frequency (i.e., the frequency at which the polarity of the voltage is reversed) corresponding to the target overall brightness, thereby changing the frequency of the positive and negative alternating voltage polarity reversal output to the light-emitting fiber array 60, thereby actually changing the number of light-emitting phenomena occurring per unit time (i.e., the frequency of electrons hitting the light-emitting center), so as to change the overall light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting fiber array 60. Since this brightness adjustment method does not involve changing the voltage and current of the driving circuit, it is less likely to cause the light-emitting fiber breakdown phenomenon than the traditional method of adjusting the voltage or current.

[0093] In some embodiments, the switch array 50 includes a plurality of switch units 51 , and one switch unit 51 is connected to one or more light-emitting fiber monomers 61 in the light-emitting fiber array 60 ;

[0094] The control module 20 is connected to the switch array 50, and is used to control the opening and closing of the switch unit 51 in the switch array 50 through the signal duty cycle corresponding to the target monomer brightness, so as to control the circuit conduction time of the luminous fiber monomer 61 connected to the switch unit 51 within the display refresh cycle, so that the luminous fiber monomer 61 emits light according to the target monomer brightness.

[0095] It should be noted that after the control module 20 is connected to the switch array 50 , the control module 20 can send a control signal through the switch array 50 to control the opening and closing of the switch unit 51 in the switch array 50 .

[0096] In addition, it should be noted that the target monomer brightness is the brightness of the light emitted by the specified light-emitting fiber monomer 61 in the light-emitting fiber array 60 under the target overall brightness. The signal duty cycle is the effective time ratio of the control signal sent by the control module 20 to the switch array 50. There is a corresponding relationship between the target monomer brightness and the signal duty cycle, and the target monomer brightness and the signal duty cycle are positively correlated.

[0097] In this embodiment, the control module 20 is connected to the switch array 50, and is used to control the opening and closing of the switch unit 51 in the switch array 50 by the signal duty ratio corresponding to the target monomer brightness, so as to control the circuit conduction time of the luminous fiber monomer 61 connected to the switch unit 51 in the display refresh cycle, and adjust the brightness of the luminous fiber monomer 61 in the luminous fiber array 60. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the output state (high level, low level) output to the GPIO (General-Purpose Input / Output) connected to the switch array 50 in the control module 20 can be changed according to the signal duty ratio, so as to output a control signal corresponding to the duty ratio to the switch unit 51, and the control signal is used to control the opening and closing of the switch unit 51, that is, the effective time ratio in the control signal closes the switch unit 51 to load the positive and negative alternating voltage at both ends of the luminous fiber monomer 61, and the switch unit 51 is disconnected at other time ratios except the effective time ratio, so as to cancel the loading of the positive and negative alternating voltage at both ends of the luminous fiber monomer 61, thereby adjusting the proportion of the luminous duration of the luminous fiber monomer 61 in the refresh cycle to achieve the adjustment of the target monomer brightness of the luminous fiber monomer. Therefore, this embodiment changes the duty cycle of the control signal according to the target monomer brightness to adjust the circuit conduction time within the display refresh cycle, thereby achieving brightness control of the light-emitting fiber monomer 61 and improving the precision of brightness control of the light-emitting fiber array 60.

[0098] In some embodiments, the control module 20 includes a micro control unit 21 and an IO expansion unit 22 that are electrically connected;

[0099] The micro control unit 21 is connected to the H-bridge circuit 40 and is used to drive the H-bridge circuit 40 to generate positive and negative alternating voltages by a voltage inversion frequency corresponding to the target overall brightness;

[0100] The micro control unit 21 is connected to the switch array 50 through the IO expansion unit 22 , and is used to control the on / off of the circuit of the light emitting fiber array 60 connected to the switch array 50 .

[0101] The control module 20 may be a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or a micro-controller unit (MCU). Figure 3 As shown, the control module 20 may also adopt a combination of an electrically connected microcontroller unit 21 and an IO (Input / Output) expansion unit 22. The microcontroller unit 21 is connected to the H-bridge circuit 40, and is used to drive the H-bridge circuit 40 to generate positive and negative alternating voltages according to the voltage inversion frequency corresponding to the target overall brightness; the microcontroller unit 21 is connected to the switch array 50 through the IO expansion unit 22, and is used to control the circuit on and off of the luminous fiber array 60 connected to the switch array 50. In this embodiment, the combination of the microcontroller unit 210 and the IO expansion unit 220 is generally lower in power consumption than an FPGA with higher performance and integration, and is more economical and easy to use. And compared with a simple MCU, the circuit on and off control of the luminous fiber array composed of more luminous fibers can be realized.

[0102] In some embodiments, the micro control unit 21 includes an information acquisition subunit 211, a PWM frequency adjustment subunit 212, and a GPIO adjustment subunit 213;

[0103] The information acquisition subunit 211 is used to acquire target brightness information for the light-emitting fiber array 60, wherein the target brightness information includes the target overall brightness of the light-emitting fiber array 60 and the target single brightness of a specified light-emitting fiber single body;

[0104] The PWM frequency adjustment subunit 212 is used to adjust the frequency of the PWM signal according to the voltage inversion frequency corresponding to the target overall brightness, and output the frequency-adjusted PWM signal as a pulse drive signal to the H-bridge circuit 40;

[0105] The GPIO adjustment subunit 213 is used to adjust the output state of the GPIO on the micro control unit 21 according to the target duty cycle corresponding to the target single brightness, so as to adjust the circuit conduction time of the switch unit 51 in the switch array 50 connected to the GPIO within the display refresh cycle.

[0106] It should be noted that there is a positive correlation between the voltage reversal frequency and the overall brightness, and there is also a positive correlation between the target duty cycle and the target single brightness. The display refresh cycle is a cycle for repeatedly drawing the entire display content to update the display image, such as 20 frames, 30 frames, 60 frames, etc.

[0107] In this embodiment, the microcontroller unit 21 includes an information acquisition subunit 211, a PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) frequency adjustment subunit 212 and a GPIO adjustment subunit 213. The information acquisition subunit 211 acquires target brightness information for the light-emitting fiber array 60, wherein the target brightness information includes the target overall brightness of the light-emitting fiber array 60 and the target single brightness of the specified light-emitting fiber single. Then the PWM frequency adjustment subunit 212 can adjust the frequency of the PWM signal according to the voltage reversal frequency corresponding to the target overall brightness, and output the PWM signal after the frequency adjustment as a pulse drive signal to the H-bridge circuit 40, so that the H-bridge circuit 40 can control the frequency of voltage polarity reversal according to the voltage reversal frequency after receiving the PWM signal after the frequency adjustment, thereby changing the number of light-emitting phenomena occurring per unit time (i.e., the frequency of electrons hitting the light-emitting center) to change the overall light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting fiber array 60. For the monomer brightness, the GPIO adjustment subunit 213 can adjust the output state (high level state or low level state) of the GPIO on the microcontroller unit 21 according to the target duty cycle corresponding to the target monomer brightness, thereby controlling the effective time ratio of the positive and negative alternating voltages loaded onto the two ends of the light-emitting fiber monomer, so as to change the proportion of the luminous time of the light-emitting fiber monomer in the refresh cycle by adjusting the circuit conduction time of the switch unit 51 in the switch array 50 connected to the GPIO during the display refresh cycle, thereby achieving adjustment of the target monomer brightness of the light-emitting fiber monomer.

[0108] In one embodiment, the control module 20 further includes a timing control circuit 23, and the micro control unit 21 is connected to the H-bridge circuit 40 through the timing control circuit 23; the timing control circuit 23 includes a first delay subcircuit 231, a second delay subcircuit 232, a first AND logic subcircuit 233, a second AND logic subcircuit 234 and an inverting subcircuit 235;

[0109] After the first delay sub-circuit 231 and the first AND logic sub-circuit 233 are connected in series, the first delay sub-circuit 231 is connected to the micro control unit 21, and the first AND logic sub-circuit 233 is connected to the H-bridge circuit 40;

[0110] After the inverting sub-circuit 235 , the second delay sub-circuit 232 and the second AND logic sub-circuit 234 are sequentially connected in series, the inverting sub-circuit 235 is connected to the micro control unit 21 , and the second AND logic sub-circuit 234 is connected to the H-bridge circuit 40 .

[0111] like Figure 4 For a microcontroller unit 21 that cannot directly output a set of inverted PWM signals, this embodiment can be implemented by adding an inverting circuit. In order to prevent the H-bridge circuit from being "deadlocked" (i.e., the transistors or MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) in the H-bridge circuit are turned on at the same time due to improper control, resulting in a direct connection between the positive and negative electrodes of the power supply, forming a short circuit). Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the control module 20 also includes a timing control circuit 23, and the micro control unit 21 is connected to the H-bridge circuit 40 through the timing control circuit 23; the timing control circuit 23 includes a first delay sub-circuit 231, a second delay sub-circuit 232, a first AND logic sub-circuit 233, a second AND logic sub-circuit 234 and an inverting sub-circuit 235; after the first delay sub-circuit 231 and the first AND logic sub-circuit 233 are connected in series in sequence, the first delay sub-circuit 231 is connected to the micro control unit 21, and the first AND logic sub-circuit 233 is connected to the H-bridge circuit 40; after the inverting sub-circuit 235, the second delay sub-circuit 232 and the second AND logic sub-circuit 234 are connected in series in sequence, the inverting sub-circuit 235 is connected to the micro control unit 21, and the second AND logic sub-circuit 234 is connected to the H-bridge circuit 40. Wherein, V LOGIC It is the logic voltage for supplying power to the timing control circuit 23.

[0112] Therefore, this embodiment introduces a fixed time delay when the switch state of the MOS tube in the H-bridge circuit is switched by adding a delay sub-circuit in the circuit to avoid simultaneous conduction, and improves the integrity of the delayed PWM signal with the help of the "AND logic" circuit, thereby avoiding the "deadlock" of the H-bridge circuit.

[0113] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the inverting sub-circuit 235 includes an inverting MOS tube Q f , the first inverting resistor R f1 and the second inverting resistor R f2 .

[0114] The first delay sub-circuit 231 includes a first delay diode D y1 , the first delay resistor R y1 and the first delay capacitor C y1 The second delay sub-circuit 232 includes a second delay diode D y2 , the second delay resistor R y2 and the second delay capacitor C y2Thus, the "AND logic" circuit constructed by the first delay sub-circuit 231, the second delay sub-circuit 232, and the first AND gate chip IC1 and the second AND gate chip IC2 forms a complete timing control circuit 23. The first delay diode D y1 With the first delay resistor R y1 After the parallel connection, one end is connected to the micro control unit 21 to receive the PWM signal, and the other end is connected to the first delay capacitor C y1 and the second input pin of the first AND gate chip IC1 (i.e. Figure 6 The first AND gate chip IC1 is connected to the B pin, and the first delay capacitor C y1 Ground.

[0119] The current limiting circuit 70 is used to limit the current flowing into the light emitting fiber monomers 61 in the light emitting fiber array 60 .

[0120] Since the present embodiment uses the voltage reversal frequency adjustment to adjust the overall brightness of the light-emitting fiber array 60, the proportion of the on-off time of the switch unit 51 in the display refresh cycle is adjusted to adjust the brightness of the light-emitting fiber monomer 61. Figure 7 As shown, the driving circuit in this embodiment further includes: a current limiting circuit 70, through which the H-bridge circuit 40 is connected to the light-emitting fiber array 60, and the current limiting circuit 70 is used to limit the current flowing into the light-emitting fiber monomer 61 in the light-emitting fiber array 60. Exemplarily, the current limiting circuit 70 can be a transistor current limiting circuit (i.e., a transistor is used as a switch, and when the current exceeds the set value, the transistor is turned on to shunt or close the circuit), an adjustable resistor current limiting circuit (adjusting the current limit value within a certain range using an adjustable resistor), a current sensing resistor current limiting circuit (i.e., a current sensing resistor is used in conjunction with an amplifier to accurately measure and limit the current), and other circuits for limiting the current peak. Therefore, this embodiment can avoid the situation where a large current breaks down the light-emitting fiber when it is turned on or in the process of adjusting the brightness without affecting the brightness of the light-emitting fiber array 60, thereby further improving the reliability of the driving circuit.
