[0011] Furthermore, the signal output by the lighting control unit enables the driving module to adjust the parameters of the light source, including one or more of power, ambient light sensing sensitivity, human body sensing sensitivity, delayed extinguishing time, and standby brightness;

[0012] When the position of the mechanical dial spring of the dial controller remains unchanged, the lighting system works according to the previous lighting parameters each time it is turned on.

[0013] Further, the dial controller is configured with a unique key, and the unique key is registered by the receiver, so that the receiver only responds to the dial controller with which the key is registered.

[0014] Furthermore, the dial controller is provided with a key sending button, and in response to the key sending button being pressed, the dial controller sends its own key to the receiver; or, the dial controller encrypts its own key and then sends the encrypted key to the receiver;

[0015] The receiver registers the key in its own storage unit, or the receiver decrypts the received encrypted key and registers the decrypted key in its own storage unit, thereby completing the registration.

[0016] Further, the receiver is configured to be able to register the keys of multiple dial controllers in the following manner:

[0017] Press the key sending button of the main dial controller, and within a preset time after the receiver registers the key of the main dial controller in its own storage unit, press the key sending button of one or more auxiliary dial controllers to register the key of the auxiliary dial controller in its own storage unit.

[0018] Further, the receiver is configured to be able to reset the registered key in the following manner:

[0019] Performing a preset number of on-off actions on the main power supply of the lighting system within a preset time interval, or,

[0020] The lighting system is provided with a reset button electrically connected to the receiver, and if the reset button is pressed, the receiver clears the key registered in its own storage unit.

[0021] Furthermore, if the key information is not registered in the storage unit of the receiver itself, the receiver can respond to all the dial controllers within a preset distance range.

[0022] Furthermore, the dial controller is a remote controller having a structure separated from the light source, and each mechanical dial spring on the dial controller has a first position and a second position.

[0023] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a dial code control method for the lighting system as described above, comprising the following steps:

[0024] Changing the current position of at least one mechanical dial spring on the dial controller;

[0025] The lighting parameters corresponding to the mechanical dial spring whose position is changed are matched, and the working parameters of the light source of the lighting system are adjusted accordingly under the premise that the main power of the lighting system is turned on.

[0026] Further, the dial controller is provided with i first springs, wherein i is a positive integer, and the i first springs are configured to adjust a maximum of 2i power levels, and when all the first springs are dialed to the first position, the power level of the light source is adjusted to the lowest level; when all the first springs are dialed to the second position, the power level of the light source is adjusted to the highest level; and / or,

[0027] The dial controller is provided with j second spring pieces, wherein j is a positive integer, and the j second spring pieces are configured to adjust a maximum of 2j levels of standby brightness.

However, the present application utilizes mechanical dials, which can ensure that the parameters are completely consistent with the previously set parameters without the need for memory (as long as the position of the dial spring is not changed).

[0041] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings 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 should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, device, product or equipment that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, a lighting system controlled by a dial code is provided, such as Figure 2 As shown, the lighting system includes a light source, a driving module, a main control module, a receiver and a dial controller 100, wherein the main control module includes a lighting control unit and a decoding unit (the two can be independently provided or integrated into one), wherein the decoding unit is configured to communicate with the receiver, and the lighting control unit is configured to be electrically connected to the driving module;

[0044] The dial controller 100 is provided with a plurality of mechanical dial springs 120, and the dial controller 100 is configured to send corresponding dial signals to the receiver in a wireless manner according to the position information of the mechanical dial springs 120, that is, the dial controller 100 is wirelessly connected to the receiver, and the dial controller 100 is a remote control; the decoding unit is configured to parse the dial signal received from the receiver according to a pre-stored decoding program, and send the parsing result to the lighting control unit;

[0045] In response to receiving the analysis result sent by the decoding unit, the lighting control unit outputs a signal to the driving module according to the analysis result, so that the driving module adjusts the light source, including one or more of power, ambient light sensing sensitivity, human body sensing sensitivity, delayed extinguishing time, and standby brightness, that is, the signal output by the lighting control unit to the driving module can be a one-way switch signal or a multi-way switch signal;

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the dial controller 100 is provided with a plurality of mechanical dial springs 120. In this embodiment, the dial controller 100 is a remote controller having a structure separated from the lighting device. Each mechanical dial spring 120 on the dial controller 100 has a first position and a second position. The dial controller 100 is configured to send a corresponding dial signal to the receiver according to the position information of the mechanical dial spring 120. For example, if the four dial springs 120 are all in the first position, the dial signal 0000 is sent; if the four dial springs 120 are all in the second position, the dial signal 1111 is sent. For another example, the dial signal 1010 indicates that the first and third dial springs 120 are in the second position, and the second and fourth dial springs 120 are in the second position.

[0047] like Figure 2As shown, the receiver receives the dial signal sent by the dial controller 100, and performs signal modulation and demodulation or analog-to-digital conversion on it and then sends the result signal to the decoding unit. The decoding unit is provided with a storage unit pre-stored with a decoding program. The decoding unit is configured to parse the received dial signal according to the decoding program and send the parsing result to the lighting control unit. For example, each dial spring 120 has a high position and a low position. If the dial spring is dialed to the high position, the decoding unit parses and obtains a signal 1. If the dial spring is dialed to the low position, the decoding unit parses and obtains a signal 0; the response Upon receiving the analysis result sent by the decoding unit, the lighting control unit outputs a signal to the driving module according to the analysis result. Here, the lighting control unit is pre-set with a corresponding program to output the signal. For example, the No. 1 and No. 2 dial springs 120 are responsible for controlling the ambient light sensing sensitivity, and the No. 3 and No. 4 dial springs 120 are responsible for controlling the delayed extinction time. The adjustment gear of the ambient light sensing sensitivity / delayed extinction time is set to four gears, and the gears from low sensitivity / short delay time to high sensitivity / long delay time correspond to the dial signals 00, 01, 10, and 11 respectively. In summary, when the dial signals of No. 1 to No. 4 dial springs 120 are received as 0110, the adjustment gear of the ambient light sensing sensitivity obtained by analysis is the second gear corresponding to the dial signal 01, and the adjustment gear of the delayed extinction time is the third gear corresponding to the dial signal 10.

[0048] In response to receiving the analysis result sent by the decoding unit, the lighting control unit outputs a signal to the driving module according to the analysis result. In one embodiment of the present invention, the main control module also includes a light intensity sensor, which is configured to sense the light intensity of the ambient light; the light intensity sensor sends its sensing signal to the lighting control unit, and the lighting control unit compares the received sensing signal with a preset light intensity threshold, and then outputs a corresponding signal to the driving module, wherein the light intensity threshold is set by the dial controller. Specifically, for example, different light intensity thresholds corresponding to different adjustment gears of the ambient light sensing sensitivity are pre-set in the lighting control unit. For example, the threshold corresponding to the first gear is 100 lux, the threshold corresponding to the second gear is 400 lux, the threshold corresponding to the third gear is 800 lux, and the threshold corresponding to the fourth gear is 1500 lux. When the adjustment gear of the ambient light sensing sensitivity is the second gear, that is, the lighting control unit sets the ambient light brightness threshold to 400 lux, see Figure 2The light intensity sensor is electrically connected to the main control module and is configured to send the sensed light intensity value to the main control module. When the light intensity sensor detects that the ambient light intensity is lower than 400 lux, it may send the driving instruction of starting the light source to the driving module. The reason why it is possible is that the condition for automatically starting the light source according to the sensing signal may not only be that the ambient light intensity is lower than the preset threshold, but also may be combined with the sensing result of the human body sensing sensitivity, so as to avoid wasting electricity by turning on the light in an unmanned environment. The dial control principle of the human body sensing sensitivity is the same as the dial control principle of the ambient light sensing sensitivity.

[0049] On the other hand, the intelligent lighting device can turn off the light source according to the sensing result of a person leaving the room. In this embodiment, the delayed extinguishing time is set by dialing the code to avoid frequent turning on and off of the lighting device when a person temporarily or briefly leaves the room. Specifically, for example, different delay time thresholds corresponding to different adjustment gears of the delayed extinguishing time are pre-set in the lighting control unit. For example, the threshold corresponding to the first gear is 1 minute, the threshold corresponding to the second gear is 2 minutes, the threshold corresponding to the third gear is 5 minutes, and the threshold corresponding to the fourth gear is 10 minutes. When the adjustment gear of the delayed extinguishing time is the third gear, the lighting control unit sets the threshold of the delayed extinguishing time to 5 minutes. Then, from the time when the lighting control unit determines that the conditions for turning off the light are met, a countdown of 5 minutes is performed. If the conditions for turning on the light are not met before the countdown ends, the light source and the power supply are cut off.

[0050] Since the embodiment of the present invention adopts the dial controller 100, the dial spring pieces 120 are mechanical spring pieces, that is, when there is no artificial external force, the mechanical position of each dial spring piece 120 remains unchanged. Therefore, each time the lighting system is turned on, the lighting parameters are still set according to the mechanical position of the dial spring piece 120 maintained at the current moment during the previous lighting period. Therefore, it is possible to work according to the previous lighting parameters without manually setting the remote control each time the lighting system is turned on.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, the dial controller 100 is configured with a unique key, and the unique key is registered by the receiver so that the receiver only responds to the dial controller 100 whose key is registered by it. The purpose of this setting is to enable dedicated control of specific lamps, that is, after a receiver of a lighting device registers a key of a dial controller 100, this lamp is only controlled by the dial of this dial controller 100. If the key information is not registered in the storage unit of the receiver itself, the receiver can respond to all the dial controllers 100 within a preset distance range. The following is an explanation of the way in which the receiver registers the key of the dial controller 100:

[0052] The structure of the dial controller 100 is as follows: Figure 3 to Figure 4As shown, the outer shell of the dial controller 100 in this embodiment is formed by buckling an upper shell 110 and a lower shell 130. The main components in the outer shell are divided into two parts, one part is a plurality of dial springs 120, and the other part is a circuit board 140. A key sending button 141 is provided on the circuit board 140, and a button cover 144 for protecting the circuit and insulation is provided on it. A corresponding position on the upper shell 110 is provided with an avoidance hole, so that the key sending button 141 protruding from the circuit board 140 can be protruded for the user to perform key operations. The upper shell 110 is also provided with an upper cover plate 111, which corresponds to the part of the dial spring 120. When the dial spring 120 does not need to be operated, the upper cover plate 111 is buckled on it. The dial spring 120 is electrically connected to the circuit board 140, and a communication circuit is also provided on the circuit board 140 and the receiver. The circuit board 140 serves as a transmitting end, and the receiver serves as a receiving end. The circuit board 140 can send the dial signal data representing each dial spring 120 to the receiver. The operation of the receiver registering the key of the dial controller 100 is as follows: Press the key sending button 141, and the dial controller 100 sends its own key to the receiver. The receiver registers the key in its own storage unit to complete the registration.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, the dial controller 100 encrypts its own key. The encryption method can be to obtain the encrypted key by performing an XOR operation on the key and the CRC check code, and then send the encrypted key to the receiver; the receiver decrypts the received encrypted key, and then registers the decrypted key in its own storage unit to complete the registration.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, multiple dial controllers 100 are supported to control the same lighting device, and other dial controllers need to be pre-registered if they want to control the lighting device. At this time, one of the multiple dial controllers 100 is used as the main dial controller, and the others are used as sub-dial controllers. The keys of a main dial controller and one or more sub-dial controllers 100 are registered in the following way:

[0055] Press the key sending button 141 of the main dial controller 100 (which is the same as the above registration method, and can be encrypted or unencrypted), and after the receiver registers the key of the main dial controller in its own storage unit, press the key sending button 141 of one or more secondary dial controllers within a preset time (for example, within 5s or 10s), and then register the key of the secondary dial controller in its own storage unit. For example, the receiver is configured to register at most one main key and two secondary keys. In this case, if the receiver receives additional keys sent by the dial controller that exceed the standard, it will not be registered. Preferably, an indicator light is provided on the receiver. When the dial spring 120 is provided, the corresponding dial controller 100 sends a dial signal to the receiver. If the receiver successfully receives the dial signal, the indicator light of the receiver, for example, flashes once to indicate; if the receiver successfully receives the key, the indicator light of the receiver, for example, flashes twice in succession; if the key of a new dial controller 100 is received after the registration quota is full, it flashes 4 or 5 times in succession to indicate that the registration failed. The present invention does not limit the indication method to a light prompt signal, and in other embodiments, a sound prompt signal may also be used.

[0056] The receiver in this embodiment also has a key reset function, which specifically resets the registered key in the following manner:

[0057] Method 1: The main power of the lighting system is turned off and on for a preset number of times within a preset time interval, for example, the main power of the lighting system is turned off-on-off-on-off-on three times in a row, and the receiver clears the key registered in its own storage unit;

[0058] Method 2: The lighting device is provided with a reset button electrically connected to the receiver. When the reset button is pressed, the receiver clears the key registered in its own storage unit.

[0059] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a dial code control method for the lighting system as described above, comprising the following steps:

[0060] Changing the current position of at least one mechanical dial spring 120 on the dial controller 100;

[0061] The lighting parameters corresponding to the mechanical dial spring 120 whose position is changed are matched, and the working parameters of the light source of the lighting system are adjusted accordingly under the premise that the main power of the lighting system is turned on, that is, the circuit board 140 of the dial controller 100 sends the corresponding dial signal to the receiver, and the receiver sends the demodulated / analog-to-digital converted dial signal to the decoding unit, the decoding unit parses the dial signal, and sends the parsing result to the lighting control unit of the lighting device, the lighting control unit sets the corresponding lighting parameters and sends them to the driving module, so that the driving module drives the light source to work according to the lighting parameters, and the lighting control unit controls the light source to turn on / off the power according to the set threshold.

[0062] Take a dial controller 100 having 10 dial springs 120 as an application example:

[0063] Spring clips No. 1 and 2 are configured to adjust 4 levels of power, spring clips No. 3 and 4 are configured to adjust 4 levels of standby brightness, spring clips No. 5 and 6 are configured to adjust 4 levels of ambient light sensing sensitivity, spring clips No. 7 and 8 are configured to adjust 4 levels of human body sensing sensitivity, and spring clips No. 9 and 10 are configured to adjust 4 levels of delayed extinction time.

[0064] For example, if spring clips No. 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 10 are in the first position and the other spring clips are in the second position, the parsing result of the dial signal sent to the decoding unit through the receiver is 0110010010. After the lighting control unit processes the data, the set targets are: 2 levels of power, 3 levels of standby brightness, 2 levels of ambient light sensing sensitivity, 1 level of human body sensing sensitivity, and 3 levels of delayed extinguishing time.

[0065] In one embodiment of the present invention, the main control module further includes a human body sensor, which is configured to sense human body signals according to a preset sensing sensitivity; the human body sensor sends its sensing signal to the lighting control unit, and the lighting control unit outputs a corresponding signal to the driving module according to preset parameters after receiving the sensing signal, wherein the preset parameters include delay time and / or standby brightness, and one or more parameters of the sensing sensitivity, delay time, and standby brightness are set by the dial controller. Figure 2The human body sensor is bidirectionally electrically connected to the main control module so as to be configured to send the sensed signal strength value to the main control module on the one hand, and receive the sensitivity configuration parameters set by the main control module on the other hand. Taking the human body sensor of infrared sensor type as an example, the control module matches the 2nd power of 20W (or 60% of the rated power), the 2nd ambient light sensing sensitivity of 100 lux, the 1st human body sensing sensitivity of 25% of the detection limit (the larger the ratio, the higher the sensitivity), and the 3rd delayed extinguishing time of 5min from the pre-set lighting parameter file; then the lighting control unit of the control module controls the driving module to drive the lighting system to work according to the above parameters:

[0066] When the light intensity sensor detects that the light intensity signal is lower than 100 lux, and a human signal is detected when the infrared radiation range of the infrared sensor is within 25% of the detection limit, the light source is controlled to be turned on (i.e., the power is turned on), and the power of the light source is set to 20W; when the infrared sensor detects that the human signal disappears, or the light intensity sensor detects that the light intensity signal is higher than a certain threshold (such as 1500 lux), the countdown is started for 5 minutes. If the human signal is detected again during the countdown, or the light intensity signal is lower than 100 lux again, the countdown is canceled. Otherwise, when 5 minutes is reached, the light source is controlled to be turned off (i.e., the power is cut off). In one embodiment of the present invention, the standby dimming brightness and the waiting time can also be set by more mechanical dial springs 120 on the dial controller 100, that is, before turning off the light source, the lighting is performed at the set waiting dimming brightness for the corresponding set waiting time. Usually, the waiting dimming brightness is lower than the current normal working brightness, such as 10%, 20%, 30%, 50% of the current normal working brightness, and the waiting time can be set to 0s, 1 minute, 10 minutes, or infinite.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present invention, a brightness increase key 142 and a brightness decrease key 143 are further provided on the circuit board 140, which are configured to adjust the luminous flux under the currently set power level. For example, the maximum adjustable luminous flux under the first power level of 15W is 280lm, and the maximum adjustable luminous flux under the second power level of 20W is 360lm, and so on. Then, at the first power level, the default luminous flux is 200lm, and each press of the brightness increase key 142 / brightness decrease key 143 can increase / decrease by, for example, 20lm, until it reaches 280lm / 0lm; at the second power level, the default luminous flux is 260lm, and each press of the brightness increase key 142 / brightness decrease key 143 can increase / decrease by, for example, 20lm, until it reaches 360lm / 0lm.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present invention, the key can be reset by using the brightness increase key 142 and the brightness decrease key 143 on the circuit board 140. For example, when the first control key (one of the specific dial springs 120) is dialed to a high position, double-click the brightness increase key 142, and double-click the brightness decrease key 143 within 5 seconds to complete the key reset. When the first control key is dialed to a low position, the dial spring 120 that sets one or more of the power, ambient light sensing sensitivity, human body sensing sensitivity, delayed extinguishing time, and standby brightness can work.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, the lighting system is configured with an override mode. For example, when the light source is on, double-clicking the brightness increase key 142 continuously can enter the always-on override mode to make the light source always on; the next time you double-click the brightness increase key 142 continuously, you can exit the always-on override mode. For example, when the light source is off, double-clicking the brightness reduction key 143 continuously can enter the always-off override mode to make the light source always off; the next time you double-click the brightness reduction key 143 continuously, you can exit the always-off override mode. This can meet the actual lighting needs of users. For example, when projection is needed, the user hopes to enter the always-off override mode, that is, in this mode, any button or dial spring of the dial controller is toggled, and the lighting system remains off.

[0070] For example, based on the above lighting parameters, the user wants to increase the power by one level (to level 3 power), decrease the ambient light sensing sensitivity by one level (to level 1 ambient light sensing sensitivity), increase the human body sensing sensitivity by one level (to level 2 human body sensing sensitivity, for example, 50% of the detection limit), and decrease the delayed extinction time by one level (to level 2 delayed extinction time). The corresponding dial signal is 1011000101, then it is necessary to dial springs No. 2, 5, 6, 7, and 9 to the first position, and dial the other springs to the second position.

[0071] The present invention does not limit the number of dial springs for setting various parameters to be the same, nor does it limit the specific number, nor does it limit the corresponding relationship / order between the parameters. A corresponding instruction manual can be issued according to a pre-set decoding program to guide the user to clearly know which spring to dial for the parameter the user wants to adjust.

[0072] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprise a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.

[0073] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
