Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thyristor dimming technology, and in particular to an LED dimming driver power supply. Background Technology

[0002] A thyristor dimmer is a lighting accessory that uses a thyristor as a switching device to control brightness by phase cutting, thereby changing the luminous flux of an electric light source and adjusting the illuminance. It has a simple circuit, low cost, and good compatibility with traditional incandescent lamps.

[0003] However, when thyristors are used to drive LED lights, flickering often occurs due to the input characteristics of the LED driver power supply. This is mainly due to the following factors: 1. After the thyristor is turned on, a current greater than the set value (i.e., holding current) needs to be maintained across its terminals to ensure continuous conduction. Traditional incandescent lamps are resistive, which meets the conduction conditions of the thyristor. However, the driver power supply generally includes a large number of capacitive loads, making the circuit unstable and prone to "flickering" or "partially off" states. 2. Thyristors are prone to oscillation during restart, which can lead to false triggering. Therefore, before normal lighting, a flickering phenomenon may occur before the thyristor turns on. 3. When the thyristor is switched at a small angle, due to insufficient holding current, the thyristor may turn off prematurely, causing flickering.

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an LED dimming driver power supply that solves at least one of the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an LED dimming driver power supply to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technologies.

[0006] The present invention provides an LED dimming driver power supply, comprising a pre-stage circuit, a transformer unit, and a post-stage circuit connected in sequence. The output terminal of the post-stage circuit is electrically connected to the light source assembly. The pre-stage circuit includes a filter input unit, a resistor-capacitor unit, a first switching unit, a voltage signal conditioning unit, a power switching unit, a first voltage divider unit, a trigger unit, and a control unit. The input terminal of the filter input unit is electrically connected to the AC power supply, the output terminal of the filter input unit is electrically connected to the voltage signal conditioning unit, the other end of the voltage signal conditioning unit is electrically connected to the control unit, the control terminal of the first switching unit is electrically connected to the control unit, the first terminal of the first switching unit is electrically connected to the voltage signal conditioning unit, the second terminal of the first switching unit is electrically connected to the output terminal of the filter input unit and the resistor-capacitor unit, the resistor-capacitor unit is connected to the output terminal of the filter input unit, the first voltage divider unit and the trigger unit are connected in series and then connected to the output terminal of the filter input unit, the control terminal of the power switching unit is electrically connected to the connection point of the first voltage divider unit and the trigger unit, the first terminal of the power switching unit is electrically connected to one end of the first voltage divider unit and the transformer unit, and the second terminal of the power switching unit is electrically connected to the control unit. The filter input unit outputs a chopped AC input voltage. The voltage signal conditioning unit transmits the phase-cut input voltage waveform to the control unit. When the phase-cutting angle of the thyristor is less than the first set angle, the AC input voltage drops to the corresponding first set voltage and is divided by the first voltage divider unit and applied to the trigger unit. The trigger unit changes its operating state to trigger the power switch unit to turn off. The control unit, based on the turn-off signal and the input voltage waveform, outputs a first control signal to adjust the conduction parameters of the first switch unit, and works with the RC unit to adjust the input impedance to provide a sustaining current to the thyristor. When the thyristor is turned off, the trigger unit changes its operating state to trigger the power switch unit to turn off. The control unit, based on the turn-off signal and the input voltage waveform, outputs a second control signal to the first switch unit to turn it off, and the light source assembly immediately turns off. When the thyristor is turned back on and the AC input voltage rises to the second set voltage, the trigger unit changes its operating state to trigger the power switch unit to turn on. The control unit, based on the turn-on signal and the input voltage waveform, outputs a third control signal to the first switch unit to turn it on, and the light source assembly immediately turns on.

[0007] The control unit analyzes and smooths the voltage waveform through the voltage signal conditioning unit to calculate the phase-cutting angle. Based on the phase-cutting angle, it adjusts the PWM duty cycle and peak current. The first switching unit, in conjunction with the RC unit, provides a sustaining current at small angles to keep the thyristor conducting. This allows for advance knowledge of the input voltage information, facilitating timely adjustments and resulting in a smoother response while avoiding flickering. The first voltage divider unit acquires the unbuffered DC bus voltage. When the voltage across the trigger unit is higher than the set voltage, the trigger unit and power switch unit turn on. The voltage drops sharply at small angles or the moment the thyristor turns off. When the voltage across the trigger unit is lower than the set voltage, the trigger unit and power switch unit turn off, resolving the issue of incomplete off.

[0009] During system startup, the second switching unit is activated to accelerate the transient response, allowing the light source impedance to immediately reach stable brightness and eliminating flicker during startup, thus achieving fast and flicker-free startup. When the system stabilizes, the second switching unit is deactivated to allow the feedback loop to operate normally, ensuring stability and preventing flickering during operation.

[0021] This invention provides an LED dimming driver power supply. By changing the operating state of the trigger unit when the AC input voltage changes, the power switch unit is triggered to turn off or on. The control unit controls the conduction state or conduction parameters of the first switch unit in conjunction with the input voltage waveform. This works in conjunction with the resistor-capacitor unit to ensure that the thyristor can be turned off quickly without causing the flickering problem of being partially turned off. When it is turned on again, it can be turned on directly without flickering. At the same time, under small load conditions and small phase angle, it avoids premature turn-off and maintains stability without flickering. This ensures stable operation under various loads and phase angles, providing a stable and flicker-free dimming experience. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Control unit 8 determines the conduction duration based on the error signal from compensation unit 10 and the conduction time based on the synchronization signal from zero-crossing detection unit 12. Capacitor C10 in compensation unit 10 is used to filter high-frequency noise and provide phase compensation, ensuring loop stability. When the system is first powered on, the voltage across C10 cannot change abruptly. The second switching unit 11 turns on, short-circuiting capacitor C10, effectively eliminating the large capacitor C10 in the feedback loop. The loop response is very fast, allowing control unit 8 to quickly receive the feedback signal and make adjustments, enabling the output voltage to reach the second set voltage quickly and smoothly. The light source component 400 is directly and quickly illuminated, avoiding slow rise and initial flickering. When the system detects that the output voltage has reached the second set voltage, the second switching unit 11 turns off, and capacitor C10 operates normally, suppressing high-frequency noise and providing appropriate phase margin.
