[0087] (II) Circuit working condition

[0088] See also Figure 1When the touch switch K is pressed, the touch switch K generates a rising edge, and the rising edge signal is sent to the third pin (clock input end) of the first CMOS dual D flip-flop U1:A. When the clock input end receives the rising edge signal, the first CMOS dual D flip-flop U1:A assigns the level signal of the fifth pin to the first pin (data output end), and the level signal of the second pin is the inversion of the level signal of the first pin. Cascade the CMOS dual D flip-flops to form a two-bit or multi-bit encoding module. Figure 1 Only two-bit encoding examples are given.

[0089] exist Figure 1 In the encoding module shown, the D interface of the front-stage CMOS dual D flip-flop is connected to the CLK interface of the rear-stage CMOS dual D flip-flop, and the R interfaces of the two CMOS dual D flip-flops are connected to the reset circuit, so by pressing the button, the twelfth pin of the second CMOS dual D flip-flop U1:B and the second pin of the third CMOS dual D flip-flop U2:A respectively output 00, 01, 10, and 11. When the output signal is 11, the base of the NPN transistor Q1 of the switching circuit is high level, the collector and emitter of the NPN transistor Q1 of the switching circuit are connected up and down, the digital tube displays "0", and the LED lights are all off. When the output signal is 00, 01, 10, the base of the NPN transistor Q1 of the switching circuit is low level, the NPN transistor Q1 of the switching circuit is not connected up and down at this time, the digital tube displays "L", and the LED light has three corresponding states at this time, namely dim light, medium light, and bright light. The 350mA constant current output LED lamp driving circuit composed of the buck-type LED constant current driver chip U4, the 12~20V DC voltage passes through the full-wave rectifier unit composed of the first full-wave rectifier diode D11 and the second full-wave rectifier diode D12, and then passes through the first filtering aluminum electrolytic capacitor C5 to obtain a smooth DC voltage input to the fourth pin of the buck-type LED constant current driver chip U4; the buck-type LED constant current driver chip U4, Schottky diode D4, I-shaped inductor L1, first aluminum electrolytic capacitor C4 and second current limiting resistor R14 constitute a buck DC / DC conversion unit to generate a stable current output. By changing the resistance of the CS end (i.e. the first pin) of the buck-type LED constant current driver chip U4, the current of the LED lamp module changes, thereby adjusting the brightness of the LED lamp.

[0090] That is to say, every time the touch switch K is triggered, the encoding module will generate different output signals and transmit them to the logic gate module, triggering the logic gate to generate the corresponding conduction state. This series of operations causes the resistance value of the CS terminal (i.e., the first pin) of the buck-type LED constant current driver chip U4 to change, which in turn causes the voltage of the port to change. Finally, the brightness of the LED lamp also changes.

[0091] Considering the user's intuitive indication and monitoring, whenever the LED light is on, "0" is displayed on the digital tube; when the LED light is off, the letter "L" is displayed on the digital tube. Users can directly and clearly understand the working status of the LED light without relying on additional indicator lights or complex display devices. At the same time, adding a slow-blow fuse FU1 to the circuit can provide overload and short-circuit protection. When the current in the circuit exceeds the rated current value of the slow-blow fuse FU1, the slow-blow fuse FU1 will melt and cut off the circuit to prevent overload damage to electronic components or cause fire.

[0092] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
