[0031] The above drawings show clear embodiments of the present disclosure, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way, but to illustrate the concepts of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the implementation mode of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] The term "multiple" as used herein refers to two or more than two. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the related objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a knob dimming integrated device provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the integrated knob dimming device is designed as an integrated housing.

[0036] At the top of the shell, the knob dimming integrated device includes a display screen 01, a twelve-key button module 02, a power board 03 and a main control board 04, wherein the display screen 01 is connected to the power board 03 and the main control board 04, and the twelve-key button module 02 is connected to the power board 03 and the main control board 04.

[0037] On the side of the housing, the integrated knob dimming device includes a dimming knob group 05 , and the dimming knob group 05 is connected to the power board 03 and the main control board 04 .

[0038] On the baffle portion of the housing, the knob dimming integrated device includes a connecting switch 07 and a charging terminal 08 , and the connecting switch 07 is connected to the power board 03 .

[0039] On the back of the housing, the knob dimming integrated device includes a battery 09 , and the battery 09 is connected to the connection switch 07 and the charging terminal 08 .

[0040] At the lower baffle of the housing, the knob dimming integrated device includes a connector cable port 10 , and the connector cable port 10 is connected to the power board 03 and the main control board 04 .

[0041] Furthermore, the display screen 01 is used to display at least one of the battery 09 power level, the name of the current program, the operation being performed, and the real-time brightness of the dimming knob group 05 in the knob dimming integrated device, so as to solve the problem that there is no display screen to display the current status of the device.

[0042] Furthermore, the twelve-button module 02 is provided with twelve independent buttons, each button corresponds to a dimming program or function, and different programs or functions are provided with different button cap colors. The operation is simple and quick, so as to solve the problem that a single button and a program are not one-to-one corresponding, and multiple switches are required to select the desired program.

[0043] Furthermore, the dimming knob group 05 is provided with color channels of different colors, each color channel is provided with an independent knob, and the color of each knob is consistent with the color of the corresponding color channel. The user knows which color channel is adjusted by looking at the color of the knob, and can use the knob to smoothly dim according to the user's intention, so as to solve the problem that it is difficult to manually fine-tune the desired color according to actual requirements after the dimming program is fixed. In order to facilitate the user's operating habits and ease of use, the channels and colors are sorted in the universal RGBW format, and the outer shell has a sticker to mark the color and other information.

[0044] In addition, in order to avoid the possibility that users may misunderstand the correspondence between the knob color and the channel color, provide clear instructions in the product manual, or use a more intuitive way to express this correspondence in the product's appearance design, such as marking the corresponding color name next to the knob or using a colored indicator light.

[0045] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, in Figure 1 On the basis of the above, the dimming knob group 05 is also provided with a brightness adjustment knob 06, which is used to adjust the brightness of each color channel at the same time. The purpose of the design is that in the related art, the dimming process is performed by using buttons or virtual sliders, but the brightness changes jitterily and not smoothly, so the brightness adjustment knob 06 is used to achieve smooth control.

[0046] In one example, Figure 3 The diagram shows a unified adjustment diagram of the brightness adjustment knob, through which each color channel can be adjusted simultaneously.

[0047] Further, the dimming knob group includes a red knob, a green knob, a blue knob, a white knob and a black knob. In one example, Figure 4 The interface shows the operation diagram of the independent knobs for each color channel. Taking the red knob as an example, the interface shows the operation diagram of independently adjusting the red color channel. The value of the corresponding red color channel will change independently with the adjustment of the red knob.

[0048] In addition, Figure 3 and Figure 4 The remaining power indicator is also displayed, which is convenient for users to connect and charge through the charging terminal 08 at any time according to their needs.

[0049] In addition, in order to ensure that the operation mode and accuracy can meet the needs of users, improving the smoothness and accuracy of the knob operation is an important improvement measure. For example, by using high-quality knob materials and designing a precise knob mechanism, the jitter and jump of the knob during adjustment can be reduced to ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the dimming process. In addition, user testing is carried out during the product development stage to collect user feedback, and the brightness adjustment function is optimized and adjusted based on the feedback, and anti-jitter and smooth fade-in and fade-out algorithms are added to the control program.

[0050] In a possible implementation, with respect to the use of high-quality knob materials and a precisely designed knob mechanism, the following are the materials and mechanisms that may be used provided by the present application.

[0051] The material is aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy is lightweight, corrosion-resistant and high-strength, and is used to manufacture the knob housing and knob surface. Its surface can be treated by anodizing or spraying to increase wear resistance and aesthetics.

[0052] The material is stainless steel. Stainless steel has the advantages of corrosion resistance, high strength and wear resistance. It is used to manufacture the internal mechanism and connecting parts of the knob to ensure the stability and durability of the knob.

[0053] The material is engineering plastic. Some components used to make the knob, such as the knob handle or shell details, are made of wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant engineering plastics to improve the overall texture and durability of the knob.

[0054] The knob mechanism is a sliding knob. This mechanism adjusts parameters by rotating and sliding, and has high precision and stability. The fitting process is used to ensure that the knob rotates smoothly and is not easy to get stuck or loose.

[0055] The knob mechanism is a high-precision potentiometer, the interior of the potentiometer is slidable, and a knob cap and a potentiometer are provided for shaft transmission.

[0056] By adopting the above high-quality materials and precision-designed knob mechanism, the knob dimming device can achieve smooth and precise adjustment operation, improve user experience and ensure long-term stable performance.

[0057] Furthermore, the battery 09 is a 24V and 2600mAh lithium battery, which can drive most lamps and meet most application scenarios, so as to solve the problems in related technologies that both the controller and the lamp need external power supply, long-distance power cords need to be pulled when testing the lamp outdoors, and the lack of adaptability to the on-site environment.

[0058] Furthermore, the other end of the connector cable port 10 is used for an external waterproof connector cable, and the external waterproof connector cable is connected to the lamp to be connected. The connector cable port 10 is provided with two common waterproof connectors that can directly connect to the corresponding lamp without complicated wiring operations. Figure 2 As shown, the two circle marks of the connector cable port 10 are used to mark the two types of waterproof connectors provided.

[0059] Furthermore, the charging terminal 08 adopts a universal standard charging interface, which can be used while charging.

[0060] Furthermore, the display screen 01 is connected to the power board 03 via a power bus, and the display screen 01 is connected to the main control board 04 via a signal bus; the twelve-key button module 02 is connected to the power board 03 via a power bus, and the twelve-key button module 02 is connected to the main control board 04 via a signal bus; the dimming knob group 05 is connected to the power board 03 via a power bus, and the dimming knob group 05 is connected to the main control board 04 via a signal bus.

[0061] The connection switch 07 is connected to the power board 03 through a power bus; the battery 09 is connected to the connection switch 07 and the charging terminal 08 through a power bus; the connector cable port 10 is connected to the power board 03 through a power bus, and the connector cable port 10 is connected to the main control board 04 through a signal bus.

[0062] It should be noted that the knob dimming integrated device uses mature functional modules in the market. There is no need to reinvent the wheel, which is a common saying. It means that when solving problems or developing new products, if applicable solutions already exist or mature products have been developed, there is no need to redesign or redevelop something similar from scratch. The degree of reuse and replacement is relatively high, installation is easy, and R&D and maintenance costs are low.

[0063] In one example, the functional modules involved are illustrated, and each module is linked to each component of the knob dimming integrated device to understand how they work together.

[0064] Dimming control module, this module is responsible for controlling the brightness of the light. It receives the input signal from the knob, generates a corresponding dimming signal according to the degree of rotation of the knob, and then controls the brightness of the light. This module is closely related to the knob component and realizes brightness adjustment by receiving the input signal of the knob.

[0065] Power management module, the power management module is responsible for providing a stable power supply for the knob dimming device and monitoring the circuit status to ensure safe and stable operation. It can control the power supply of the light and monitor the battery power to ensure that the device can work properly under any circumstances.

[0066] Safety protection module, the safety protection module monitors the circuit status and takes corresponding measures to protect the device and user safety when abnormal conditions occur.

[0067] The user interface module provides a way for users to interact with the knob dimming device. It can display information such as the current light status and brightness level, and accept user input. Users interact with the device through the knob and possible other buttons or touch interfaces to adjust the lighting effect.

[0068] These modules are connected together through internal circuits and logic to form a complete knob dimming device. The knob is the main user input device, which adjusts the lighting effect through interaction with the dimming control module and the user interface module. At the same time, other modules are responsible for ensuring the normal operation, safety and intelligent functions of the device. The operation of the entire system is achieved through the collaborative work between these modules.
