Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for detecting the color temperature adjustment function of an LED. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, LED lights with adjustable color temperature in the lamp body either undergo testing-free or manual testing during production. Adding manual testing increases labor costs, while omitting testing may result in missing color temperature adjustment functionality, potentially leading to customer complaints. Furthermore, with the increasing number of LED lights featuring adjustable color temperature dials, relying entirely on manual testing would significantly increase the burden on companies and reduce their competitiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides a method for detecting the color temperature adjustment function of LEDs, which enables automated detection of the color temperature adjustment function of LED lights.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method for detecting the color temperature adjustment function of an LED, comprising the following steps:

[0005] 1) Determine if there is an LED light at the testing station. If yes, proceed to step 2; otherwise, repeat step 1.

[0006] 2) Activate the camera to take pictures of the LED lights on the inspection station, and determine whether the LED lights on the inspection station have the function of adjusting color temperature. If yes, proceed to step 3; otherwise, proceed to step 6.

[0007] 3) Turn on the LED light and take a picture of the color temperature after the LED light is turned on. Compare the color temperature with the set value. If the color temperature is normal, proceed to step 5. If the color temperature is abnormal, proceed to step 4.

[0008] 4) Switch the color temperature of the LED lights using a robotic arm and repeat step 3;

[0009] 5) Detect the color temperature and power of the LED lamp through the power supply device and color temperature detection device. If the power is abnormal, store the LED lamp as if it is abnormal. If the color temperature is abnormal, store the LED lamp as if it is abnormal. If both are normal, store it as a normal lamp.

[0010] 6) Test complete.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment: an infrared detection device is provided on the detection station, and the camera is activated when the infrared detection device detects an LED light on the detection station.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This solution involves an infrared detection and camera device that detects the passing of a color-temperature adjustable LED light. The infrared sensor activates the camera, which captures and processes the color temperature settings on the light. The camera then transmits the instruction to a robotic arm to specify which color temperature setting to test. The robotic arm then switches the color temperature setting. After switching, the color-temperature adjustable LED light enters the power supply and color temperature detection devices. These devices monitor the light's power and color temperature. If either power or color temperature is abnormal, the light is placed in the "Power Abnormal" or "Color Temperature Abnormal" categories, respectively. If both are normal, the testing is complete.

[0027] This detection device consists of an adjustable color temperature LED lamp 1 and an infrared detection and camera device 3.

The robotic arm device 4 then switches the setting. After switching, the adjustable color temperature LED lamp 1 enters the power supply and color temperature detection device 6.
