[0037] Power supply voltage regulator module: provides stable power supply for the slave controller.

[0038] Current sampling module: It can collect the current flowing through the sampling resistor and output it to the microcontroller module in the form of voltage.

[0039] The voltage micro-variation module consists of a first module and a second module, and is used to generate positive and negative micro-variable voltages.

[0040] The single chip microcomputer module is the core control unit.

[0041] The power supply voltage regulator module is mainly composed of a power supply chip U1, resistors R2 and R4 that match the output voltage, and a filter capacitor C1. Resistors R2 and R4 are connected in series, with the middle connected to the FB pin of U1.

[0042] The current sampling module is composed of a sampling resistor R1 and a current amplifier U2A, wherein the + and - pins of the amplifier are connected to both ends of the sampling resistor R1, and the output end of the amplifier is connected to the single chip microcomputer.

[0043] The first and second voltage micro-variation modules are composed of two parts: a first module and a second module. The first module consists of a diode D1, a MOS transistor Q1, a voltage stabilizing diode D3, resistors R5, R7, R9, and a transistor Q3. Diode D1 is connected to sampling resistor R1, the S and D terminals of MOS transistor Q1 are connected to diode D1, and D3 is connected to the S and G terminals of MOS transistor Q1. Resistor R5 is connected between the G terminal of MOS transistor Q1 and the C terminal of transistor Q3, resistor R9 is connected between the B and E terminals of transistor Q3, and resistor R7 is connected between microcontroller U3 and the B terminal of transistor Q3. The circuit structure of the second module is the same as that of the first module.

[0044] The slave controller consists of a current micro-change module, a voltage acquisition module, a power supply filter module, a single chip computer module and a first LED driving module.

[0045] The current micro-variable module is composed of resistors R11, R14 and R18 and a transistor Q5, wherein one end of the resistor R11 is connected to the power input terminal and the other end is connected to the C pole of the transistor Q5, the resistor R18 is connected between the B pole and the E pole of the transistor Q5, and the resistor R14 is connected between the B pole of the transistor Q5 and the microcontroller U4.

[0046] The voltage sampling module is composed of a resistor R12 and a resistor R13, wherein the resistor R12 is connected between the power input terminal and the resistor R13, the resistor R13 is connected between the resistor R12 and GND, and the connection point of the resistors R12 and R13 is connected to the microcontroller U4.

[0047] The power filter module is composed of an inductor L1 and a capacitor C2, wherein one end of the inductor L1 is connected to the power input end, and the other end is connected to the capacitor C2 and is also connected to the positive electrode of the LED lamp of the LED driver module.

[0048] The LED driver module is composed of several LED drivers. The second LED driver module is composed of a light-emitting diode LED1, a transistor Q6, and resistors R15 and R19. The positive electrode of the light-emitting diode LED1 is connected to the inductor L1, and the negative electrode is connected to the C terminal of the transistor Q6. The resistor R19 is connected between the B and E terminals of the transistor Q6. One end of the resistor R15 is connected to the B terminal of the transistor Q6, and the other end is connected to the microcontroller U4.

[0049] It should be noted that: the generation of voltage micro-change signals: when the master controller normally supplies power to the slave controller, the microcontroller controls transistors Q3 and Q4, turning Q1 off and Q2 on. At this time, the output voltage of VLED is V0. When Q1 and Q2 are both on, the output voltage of VLED is V0 + the voltage drop of diode D2 (about 0.7V), and the voltage of VLED is VOUT = V0+0.7. When Q1 and Q2 are both off, the output voltage of VLED is V0 - the voltage drop of diode D1 (about 0.7V), and the voltage of VLED is VOUT = V0-0.7. The slave controller receives instructions based on the voltage changes of the master controller through the voltage acquisition module, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0050] The present invention uses only two power lines and adopts a voltage micro-variation mode and a current micro-variation mode to carry out communication between the host and the slave.

[0051] The voltage micro-variation mode of the present invention has two modes: positive voltage variation and negative voltage variation.

[0052] The control method of the present invention realizes the lighting and extinguishing of the LED lamp in a reverse inquiry manner of the slave.

[0053] The control protocol of the present invention determines the function of the voltage and current by the time of slight change.

[0054] The sending logic of the voltage and current slight changes of the present invention is sent when the LED lamp is stable.

[0055] Generation of current slight change signal: The single chip microcomputer controls the opening and closing of transistor Q5. During normal operation, the single chip microcomputer controls transistor Q5 to be closed. When the slave controller needs to inquire whether the current LED light is on, it turns on transistor Q5. At this time, the input current of the slave controller will increase IZ = VLED / R11. The main controller receives instructions based on the change of the slave controller current through the current sampling module, such as Figure 6 shown

[0056] In this embodiment, the LED lamp water lighting control method includes the following steps:

[0059] Step S3: The main controller delays for a certain time (to adjust the LED lighting interval), then turns on MOS tubes Q1 and Q2 for a time TMA, and then turns off MOS tube Q2. This sends a response code to light up the LED.

[0060] Step S4: The slave controller turns on transistor Q5 for a time period TSA, and then turns off transistor Q5. The query code is sent again to inquire whether the second LED is lit.

[0061] Step S5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the last LED is queried and then send the end code;

[0062] The LED lamp water extinguishing control method includes the following steps:

[0063] Step Sa: The main controller turns on MOS tubes Q1 and Q2, turns off for a period of time TMS, and then turns off MOS tube Q2. This implements the sending of the start code.
