Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of light source control, and more particularly to an apparatus and related method for controlling lighting based on the time of day and / or ambient light conditions. More specifically, it relates to a solar lamp with both automatic and manual modes, and whose brightness can be adjusted in both modes, and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional solar lights typically use an ambient light sensor, meaning they charge during the day and automatically turn on at night. While this design is simple and easy to use, it also has some limitations. For example, users cannot turn on the lights during the day as needed; solar lights with USB charging capabilities usually use manual switches and cannot automatically turn on at night. Furthermore, many solar lights have a fixed brightness, which users cannot adjust according to their actual needs, especially in scenarios requiring different brightness levels, such as reading, general illumination, or creating ambiance. This fixed brightness is not flexible enough.

[0003] Existing technologies offer some solutions to these problems, such as adding manual switches to some solar lights to force the lights on during the day. However, this design still cannot achieve true "manual / automatic" control, meaning the ability to adjust brightness and control the human body sensor function in any mode. Moreover, existing solutions are generally complex, costly, and not easily adopted for widespread application. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to provide a solar lamp with both automatic and manual modes and its control method, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies. The solar lamp described in this invention can operate in both automatic and manual modes, and can flexibly control the light source's on / off state, brightness, and human body sensing function according to different usage scenarios and user needs.

[0005] This invention provides a solar lamp with both automatic and manual modes, comprising:

[0006] At least one light source whose emitted light characteristics, such as brightness and color temperature, are adjustable;

[0007] A controller connected to the light source is used to control the light emission characteristics of the light source;

[0008] The mode switch, connected to the controller, is used to switch the solar light's operating status between automatic and manual modes.

[0009] In automatic mode, the controller controls the light source to automatically emit light at night and stop emitting light during the day; in manual mode, the user can manually control the light source's emission status at any time, unaffected by ambient light.

[0010] Furthermore, the solar lamp of the present invention may further include:

[0011] A brightness adjustment switch is used to adjust the brightness of the light source.

[0012] A human infrared sensor, connected to the controller, is used to detect human movement;

[0013] An ambient light sensor, connected to the controller, is used to sense ambient brightness.

[0014] Function indicator lights are used to indicate the current working mode and status of the solar lights.

[0015] Furthermore, the solar lamp of the present invention may also include a control function selection switch, which is connected to the controller and provides a selection of multiple control functions, including at least three of the following control functions:

[0016] The first control function: both the ambient light sensor and the human infrared sensor are activated. In this mode, the solar light will intelligently control itself based on the ambient brightness and the presence of a human. Specifically, when the environment is dark and a human is detected, the light source will illuminate at a higher brightness; when the environment is dark but no human is detected, the light source will automatically dim to a lower brightness or turn off completely; and when the environment is bright, the light source will remain off.

[0017] The second control function: Only the ambient light sensor is on, while the human infrared sensor is off. In this mode, the solar light is controlled solely based on the ambient brightness. When the ambient light is dim, the light source automatically turns on; when the ambient light is bright, the light source automatically turns off. The human sensor function is not activated in this mode.

[0018] The third control function: Both the ambient light sensor and the infrared human body sensor are turned off. In this mode, the solar light is entirely controlled manually by the user. The user can turn the light source on or off at any time via the control button, without considering ambient brightness or the human body sensor.

[0019] In the first control function, the controller automatically illuminates the light source at a higher brightness when the ambient light is dim and a human body is detected, and automatically dims it to a lower brightness or turns it off when no human body is detected. A long press of the control function selection switch triggers entry into the control function selection state. In this state, each short press switches between control functions, indicated by a different colored indicator light. Remaining inactive for a certain period under a control function automatically exits the selection state and remembers the currently selected mode. A long press of the brightness adjustment switch adjusts the light source brightness; the brightness gradually increases during a long press and stops when released; a second long press gradually decreases the brightness and stops when released. The brightness adjustment cycles within the set range.

[0020] The present invention also provides a method for controlling the above-mentioned solar lamp, the method comprising the following steps:

[0021] The operation of the control switch is detected, and different functions are controlled according to different operations.

[0022] By controlling the operation of the switch, the solar lights can be turned on and off, their brightness adjusted, and their mode switched.

[0023] The switch can be operated by short press, long press, and double-click.

[0024] The control methods differ slightly depending on the type of solar light:

[0025] For solar lights that do not include human infrared sensors and ambient light sensors, there is only one control button. Control methods include: a short press to turn the light source on or off; a long press to adjust the brightness; and a quick double-click to switch between automatic and manual modes. In automatic mode, the light source automatically turns on at night and off during the day; in manual mode, the light source can be turned on or off at any time by short-pressing the control button.

[0026] For solar lights without sensors and indicator lights, there is only one control button. Control methods include: long press the control button to turn the light source on and off; short press the control button to switch between different brightness levels; and quickly double-click the control button to switch between automatic and manual modes. In automatic mode, the light source automatically turns on at night and automatically turns off during the day; in manual mode, the light source maintains its current brightness level.

[0027] For solar lights that integrate function indicator lights, human infrared sensors, and ambient light sensors, there is a control button. The control methods include: short press the control button to cycle between turning the light source on, different brightness modes, and turning the light source off; long press the control button to enter the control function selection state, and cycle through the control functions by short presses. After holding no operation under a certain control function for a certain period of time, the selection state will automatically exit. Its control functions include: (1) both light control and sensor on mode; (2) light control only mode; (3) both light control and sensor off mode.

[0028] (1) Both light control and sensing are on mode: The light source is controlled according to the ambient brightness and human body detection. It is lit at a higher brightness when the environment is dark and a human body is detected, lit at a lower brightness or turned off when the environment is dark and no human body is detected, and turned off when the environment is bright;

[0029] (2) Light-only mode: The light source is controlled according to the ambient brightness. It lights up when the environment is dark and turns off when the environment is bright;

[0030] (3) Light control and sensing are both off mode, also known as manual mode: the light source is turned on and off by simply pressing the control button.

[0031] The control method described in this invention also includes memorizing the current working mode and brightness value, and automatically restoring the previously memorized working mode and brightness value when the solar light is turned on again after being turned off.

[0032] The solar lamp and its control method with automatic and manual dual modes provided by the present invention effectively solve the problem that solar lamps in the prior art cannot simultaneously achieve manual control during the day and automatic lighting at night, and significantly improve their ease of use and flexibility.

[0033] Compared to traditional solar lights with only a light-controlled mode, this invention achieves the following technical effects:

[0034] Automatic and manual modes, flexible switching: Users can freely switch between automatic and manual modes according to their actual needs. Automatic mode can be selected for scenarios requiring automatic lighting, such as courtyard lighting at night; manual mode can be selected for scenarios requiring daytime lighting, such as basement lighting or checking the condition of a house. Switching between the two modes is easy and requires no additional switches or settings.

[0035] Multiple control modes to adapt to different scenarios: This invention provides multiple control functions, including light control + sensor, light control only, and manual mode, which can meet the lighting needs of users in different scenarios. For example, in places where energy saving is required, such as courtyards or corridors, the light control + sensor mode can be selected to turn on the lights when people are present and turn them off when they leave; in places where continuous lighting is required, the light control only mode or manual mode can be selected.

[0036] Simple to operate and easy to learn: This invention uses simple operation methods such as short press, long press, and double click, allowing users to easily master the use of various functions without complicated learning or memorization. Even the elderly or children can easily get started.

[0037] Memory function enhances user experience: This invention can remember the mode and brightness last used by the user and automatically restore them the next time the light is turned on, saving the user the trouble of repeatedly setting them and improving the user experience.

[0038] In addition, the present invention has the following characteristics:

[0039] Simple structure and low cost: This invention is an improvement on existing solar lamps, without the need for complex hardware circuits and control chips, thus the manufacturing cost is low and it is easy to promote and apply.

[0040] Wide range of applications and strong applicability: This invention can be widely used in various places such as courtyards, gardens, corridors, basements, and warehouses, and has strong applicability. Attached Figure Description

[0052] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0053] Example 1.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a solar light with both automatic and manual modes. It does not have a sensor but does have function indicator lights. The solar light has only one control button, and all functions are achieved through different button operation methods. It mainly includes the following components:

[0055] Solar panel 1: Used to collect solar energy and convert it into electrical energy, and its output is connected to lithium battery 2.

[0056] Lithium battery 2: Used to store the electrical energy converted by solar panel 1, and its output is connected to controller 3.

[0057] Controller 3 (MCU): Controls various functions of the solar light, including mode switching, brightness adjustment, and light source driving. Controller 3 receives power from battery 2, controls the on / off state and brightness of light source 4, and controls the status of function indicator lights 6.

[0058] Light source 4: such as LED lights, incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, etc., used to provide lighting, and is controlled by controller 3.

[0059] Control button 5: such as mechanical button, touch case, the only control button of the solar light, used to realize all control functions, which is connected to controller 3.

[0060] Function indicator 6: Used to indicate the current working mode and status, such as automatic mode indicator, manual mode indicator, charging indicator, etc., and is controlled by controller 3.

[0061] Additionally, charging ports such as USB ports and Jack-In ports can be configured according to usage needs, which will not be elaborated here.

[0062] The control method of this solar lamp is as follows: Figure 6 As shown below:

[0063] Automatic Mode: When the solar light is in automatic mode, the controller 3 will control the on and off of the light source 4 according to the internal time. When night falls, the controller 3 will turn on the light source 4 to provide illumination; when daytime begins, the controller 3 will turn off the light source 4 to stop the illumination and control the battery 2 to charge.

[0064] Manual mode: When the solar light is in manual mode, the user can control the light source 4 to turn on and off by briefly pressing the control button 5, unaffected by ambient light. The controller 3 controls the light source 4 according to the operation instructions of the control button 5.

[0065] Brightness adjustment: Users can adjust the brightness of light source 4 by pressing and holding control button 5. Controller 3 controls the brightness of light source 4 according to the length of time the button is pressed and held. When pressed and held, the brightness will gradually increase until it reaches the maximum brightness and then reverses to adjust; when pressed and held again, the brightness will gradually decrease until it reaches the minimum brightness.

[0066] Mode switching: Users can switch between automatic and manual modes by quickly double-clicking control button 5. After the controller 3 detects the double-click operation, it will switch the current mode and control the function indicator light 6 to display the corresponding mode status.

[0067] The technical effects and features of this solar lamp:

[0068] Multiple functions can be controlled through different operation modes of a single button, simplifying user operation. Automatic and manual modes meet lighting needs in various scenarios. Function indicator lights clearly indicate the operating mode and status for easy user understanding.

[0069] Example 2.

[0070] This embodiment provides a solar light with both automatic and manual modes, which does not have sensors or function indicator lights. The solar light has only one control button, and all functions are achieved through different button operation methods.

[0071] Figure 7 This is a structural diagram of the solar lamp, which mainly includes the following components:

[0072] Solar panel 1: Used to collect solar energy and convert it into electrical energy, and its output is connected to lithium battery 2.

[0073] Lithium battery 2: Used to store the electrical energy converted by solar panel 1, and its output is connected to controller 3.

[0074] Controller 3 (MCU): Controls various functions of the solar light, including mode switching, brightness switching, and light source driving. Controller 3 receives power from battery 2 and controls the on / off state and brightness of light source 4.

[0075] Light source 4: such as an LED light, used to provide illumination, which is controlled by controller 3.

[0076] Control button 5: such as mechanical button, touch button, the only control button of the solar light, used to realize all control functions, which is connected to controller 3.

[0077] Unlike Embodiment 1, the solar light in this embodiment does not include function indicator lights, so it is impossible to display information such as the current working mode and charging status through indicator lights.

[0078] The control method of this solar lamp is as follows: Figure 8 As shown below:

[0079] Automatic Mode: When the solar light is in automatic mode, the controller 3 will control the on and off of the light source 4 according to the internal time. When night falls, the controller 3 will turn on the light source 4 to provide illumination; when daytime begins, the controller 3 will turn off the light source 4, stop the illumination, and control the battery 2 to charge.

[0080] Manual mode: When the solar light is in manual mode, the user can control the light source 4 to turn on and off by briefly pressing the control button 5, regardless of time. The controller 3 controls the light source 4 according to the operation instructions of the control button 5.

[0081] Brightness switching: Users can switch between different brightness levels by briefly pressing control button 5. Controller 3 has several preset brightness levels, such as low brightness, normal brightness, and high brightness. A single press of control button 5 cycles through these brightness levels.

[0082] Mode switching: Users can switch between automatic and manual modes by quickly double-clicking control button 5. Controller 3 will switch the current mode upon detecting the double-click operation.

[0083] The technical effects and features of this solar lamp:

[0084] The structure is simpler and the cost is lower because the function indicator lights are omitted.

[0085] By using different operation methods of a single button, multiple functions can be controlled, simplifying user operation.

[0086] With both automatic and manual modes, it meets the lighting needs of different scenarios.

[0087] The preset brightness levels allow users to quickly select the appropriate brightness.

[0088] Example 3.

[0089] This embodiment provides a solar lamp with both automatic and manual modes, integrating a human infrared sensor and an ambient light sensor, and featuring function indicator lights. The solar lamp has only one control button, allowing all functions to be accessed through different button operation methods. Figure 9 This is a structural diagram of the solar lamp, which mainly includes the following components:

[0090] Solar panel 1: Used to collect solar energy and convert it into electrical energy, and its output is connected to lithium battery 2.

[0091] Lithium battery 2: Used to store the electrical energy converted by solar panel 1, and its output is connected to controller 3.

[0092] Controller 3 (MCU): Controls various functions of the solar light, including mode switching, brightness adjustment, light source driving, and sensor control. Controller 3 receives power from battery 2, controls the on / off state and brightness of light source 4, controls the light source based on information from ambient light sensor 7 and human infrared sensor 8, and controls the status of function indicator light 6.

[0093] Light source 4: such as an LED light, used to provide illumination, which is controlled by controller 3.

[0094] Control button 5: such as mechanical button, touch button, the only control button of the solar light, used to realize all control functions, which is connected to controller 3.

[0095] Function indicator 6: Used to indicate the current working mode and status, and is controlled by controller 3, for example, different colors to indicate different working modes.

[0096] Ambient light sensor 7: Used to sense ambient brightness, it is connected to controller 3 and transmits ambient brightness information to controller 3.

[0097] Human infrared sensor 8: Used to sense human movement, it is connected to controller 3 and transmits human movement information to controller 3.

[0098] The control method for this solar light is as follows:

[0099] Short press control button 5: (e.g.) Figure 11 As shown, when the device is off, a short press of control button 5 turns it on, and function indicator light 6 illuminates to indicate that it is on. When on, a short press of control button 5 cycles through different brightness modes and the on / off state of light source 4.

[0100] Long press control button 5: (e.g.) Figure 10 As shown. With the power on, press and hold control button 5 to enter the control function selection mode. In this mode, each short press of control button 5 cycles through different control functions (Mode A, Mode B, Mode C). The function indicator 6 displays different colors to indicate the currently selected control function (red, green, and blue correspond to Modes A, B, and C, respectively). Pressing and holding control button 5 again adjusts the brightness of the corresponding light source within that mode; the brightness gradually increases with a long press and stops when released; conversely, a second long press gradually decreases the brightness and stops when released. The light source brightness cycles within the set range. Remaining inactive in a mode for a certain period automatically exits the control function selection mode and remembers the currently selected mode, function, and brightness. Control Functions: This solar light has three control functions (modes):

[0101] Mode A (Function indicator 6 is red): Both ambient light sensor 7 and human infrared sensor 8 are on. This mode offers three functions:

[0102] Function 1: Not lit during the day, automatically illuminates at 40lm at night. That is, when the ambient light is dim at night, light source 4 automatically turns on and illuminates with a brightness of 40lm; when human movement is detected within the range of the solar light, light source 4 will increase the brightness to the preset value of 200lm.

[0103] Function 2: Off during the day, 200lm at night. That is, when human movement is detected within the range of the solar light, light source 4 will light up at a brightness of 200lm, otherwise it will remain off.

[0104] Function 3: Not lit during the day, 400lm at night when human movement is detected. That is, when human movement is detected within the range of the solar light, light source 4 will light up at a brightness of 400lm, otherwise it will remain off.

[0105] Mode B (function indicator 6 is green): Ambient light sensor 7 is on while human infrared sensor 8 is off. This mode has three functions, controlling light source 4 only based on ambient brightness.

[0106] Function 1: It does not light up during the day, but automatically lights up at 40lm at night. That is, when the ambient light is dim at night, light source 4 will automatically turn on and illuminate with a brightness of 40lm.

[0107] Function 2: Not lit during the day, automatically illuminates at 200lm at night. That is, when the ambient light is dim at night, light source 4 automatically turns on and illuminates with a brightness of 200lm.

[0108] Function 3: Not lit during the day, automatically illuminates at 400lm at night. That is, when the ambient light is dim at night, light source 4 automatically turns on and illuminates with a brightness of 400lm.

[0109] Mode C (function indicator 6 is blue): Also known as manual mode, both ambient light sensor 7 and human infrared sensor 8 are off. This mode offers three functions, and the light source 4 is controlled only by a short press of control button 5, unaffected by ambient light.

[0110] Function 1: Normal operation at 40lm during the day / night. That is, the user can turn on the light source 4 by shortly pressing the control button 5, and maintain continuous illumination at a brightness of 40lm until it is turned off by shortly pressing it again.

[0111] Function 2: Normal operation at 200lm during the day / night. That is, the user can turn on the light source 4 by shortly pressing the control button 5 and maintain continuous illumination at a brightness of 200lm until it is turned off by shortly pressing it again.

[0112] Function 3: Normal operation at 400lm during the day / night. That is, the user can turn on the light source 4 by shortly pressing the control button 5 and maintain continuous illumination at a brightness of 400lm until it is turned off by shortly pressing it again.

[0113] Specifically, when the solar light is turned on and in Mode A, Function 1, the indicator light will be red. In high ambient light conditions, the solar light will not illuminate. In low ambient light conditions, the solar light will automatically illuminate. When the solar light is on, i.e., when indicator light 6 is red, a short press of control button 5 will switch the solar light to Mode A, Function 2. A further short press of control button 5 will switch it to Mode A, Function 3. A third short press of control button 5 will turn the solar light off, and indicator light 6 will turn off.

[0114] When the solar light is turned on and in Mode A, Function 1, press and hold control button 5 until the red segment of function indicator 6 flashes, indicating that you have entered the control function selection state. If you then press control button 5 briefly, you will enter Mode B, and so on.

[0115] When the solar light is powered on and in Mode A, Function 1, press and hold control button 5 until the red segment of function indicator 6 flashes, indicating that you have entered the control function selection state. Press and hold control button 5 again to turn on the solar light and enter brightness adjustment mode. Continue holding control button 5; the brightness of the solar light will gradually increase to the maximum value and then begin to adjust in the opposite direction until control button 5 is released. The new brightness level is then recorded in Mode A, Function 1.

[0116] The technical effects and features of this solar lamp:

[0117] By using different operation modes of a single button, combined with different colors of the function indicator lights, multiple functions can be controlled, simplifying user operation.

[0118] With both automatic and manual modes, combined with human body sensing and light control functions, and refined brightness and sensing distance settings, it meets the lighting needs of different scenarios, making it more intelligent.

[0119] The function indicator lights clearly show the working mode and status, making it easy for users to understand.

[0120] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "higher brightness" and "lower brightness" of the light emitted by the light source are relative concepts, representing a comparison between higher and lower brightness, as well as a comparison of the light emitted by the light source itself. This can be understood as having a first brightness and a second brightness; if the first brightness is higher than the second brightness, it is considered higher brightness, and vice versa.

[0121] The brightness of the ambient light source is determined by comparing it with a set value. By setting a threshold, the ambient light is considered brighter when it is higher than the threshold, and darker when it is lower than the threshold.

[0122] The terms “vertical,” “up,” “down,” “horizontal,” etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0123] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0124] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
