[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following will further elaborate on the implementation modes of this application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] The embodiment of this application provides a constant current control circuit for an LED lamp, as Figure 1 shown, which includes a reference voltage configuration module 1, an LED current sampling module 2, a constant current control module 3, an LED lamp, and a switching transistor Q1; the input end of the LED lamp is connected to the power supply voltage VIN, and the output end is grounded through the switching transistor Q1;

[0035] The LED current sampling module 2 is connected between the switching transistor Q1 and the ground; the constant current control module 3 is connected to the control end of the switching transistor Q1;

[0036] The reference voltage configuration module 1 outputs a reference voltage value to the constant current control module 3; the LED current sampling module 2 continuously samples the actual current value of the LED lamp, and after converting the actual current value into a corresponding actual voltage value, feeds it back to the constant current control module 3; the constant current control module 3 adjusts the on / off of the switching transistor Q1 based on the reference voltage value and the actual voltage value, so that the LED lamp operates in a constant current state.

[0037] It should be noted that the LED lamp may include one or more parallel-connected LED lamp strings, and each LED lamp string may also contain one or more series-connected LED lamp beads. Figure 1 The case where each LED lamp string contains 3 series-connected LED lamp beads is shown in. Those skilled in the art can determine the number of parallel-connected LED lamp strings according to actual needs, and can also adjust the number of series-connected LED lamp beads in each LED lamp string according to the magnitude of the power supply voltage VIN. This application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0038] The technical solution of this application, on the one hand, the reference voltage configuration module 1 configures a stable reference voltage value for the constant current control module 3; on the other hand, through the LED current sampling module 2, the actual current value of the LED lamp is continuously sampled, and it is converted into a corresponding actual voltage value and fed back to the constant current control module 3; finally, through the constant current control module 3, according to the stable reference voltage value and the actual current value of the LED lamp fed back in real time, when there is a fluctuation in the power supply voltage VIN or other interferences cause a fluctuation in the actual current value of the LED lamp, the constant current control module 3 can sense and adjust in a timely manner, and control the current of the LED lamp by adjusting the on / off of the switching transistor Q1, so that the LED lamp always operates in a constant current state, realizing the constant current control of the LED lamp and improving the stability of the working current of the LED lamp.

[0039] In a possible implementation mode, asFigure 1 As shown, the constant current control module 3 includes a comparator U1, a resistor R1, and a capacitor C1;

[0040] Two input terminals of the comparator U1 are respectively connected to the reference voltage configuration module 1 and the LED current sampling module 2; an output terminal of the comparator U1 is connected to a control terminal of the switching transistor Q1 through the resistor R1; one end of the capacitor C1 is connected to the output terminal of the comparator U1, and the other end is grounded.

[0041] Therefore, in the constant current control module 3, the comparator U1 is adopted. When the actual current value of the LED lamp changes, the level state of the output terminal of the comparator U1 changes. By driving the on / off of the switching transistor Q1, the current of the LED lamp is stabilized to a constant current value. At the same time, the resistor R1 plays a current limiting role, and the capacitor C1 plays a filtering role.

[0045] Further, the reference voltage configuration module 1 further includes a resistor R2. The resistor R2 is connected between the three-terminal voltage regulator Q2 and the power supply voltage VIN. The resistor R2 plays a current limiting role. By configuring the voltage input to the cathode of the three-terminal voltage regulator Q2 through the resistor R2, the three-terminal voltage regulator Q2 can be reversely broken down.

[0046] Through the setting of the reference voltage configuration module 1, when the power supply voltage VIN fluctuates, the reference terminal of the three-terminal voltage regulator Q2 can output a fixed voltage value and will not be affected by the power supply voltage fluctuation. Then, through the voltage division setting of the resistor R3 and the resistor R4, a suitable reference voltage value is provided for the constant current control module 3; the reference voltage configuration module 1 uses the power supply voltage VIN to output a fixed reference voltage value without the need to adopt an additional power source.

[0047] In a possible implementation, as Figure 1 shown, the LED current sampling module 2 includes a resistor R5, a resistor R6, and a resistor R7;

[0048] The first ends of the resistor R5, the resistor R6, and the resistor R7 are all connected to the switching transistor Q1; the second ends of the resistor R5 and the resistor R6 are both grounded; the second end of the resistor R7 is connected to the constant current control module 3.

[0049] Furthermore, the LED current sampling module 2 further includes a capacitor C4. One end of the capacitor C4 is connected to the second end of the resistor R7 and the other end is grounded. The capacitor C4 functions as a filter.

[0050] Through the design of the LED current sampling module 2, a sampling structure is formed by the resistor R5, the resistor R6, and the resistor R7. When the current of the LED lamp changes, the voltage value input to the constant current control module 3 changes accordingly. The constant current control module 3 can timely sense the current change of the LED lamp and make corresponding adjustments.

[0052] The comparator operating power supply configuration module 4 provides the operating power supply for the comparator U1 based on the power supply voltage VIN. The ground terminal of the comparator U1 is grounded.

[0053] The comparator operating power supply configuration module 4 converts the power supply voltage VIN into the power supply required for the comparator U1 to operate on the basis of the power supply voltage VIN, without an additional power source.

[0054] In a possible implementation, as Figure 1 shown, the LED lamp constant current control circuit further includes a high-frequency filtering module 5; the high-frequency filtering module 5 includes a capacitor C7, and the capacitor C7 is connected in parallel across the two ends of the LED lamp.

[0055] Through the high-frequency filtering module 5, high-frequency interference in the circuit is filtered out to ensure the stable operation of the LED lamp.

[0056] In a possible implementation, as Figure 1As shown, the LED constant current control circuit further includes a protection module 6; the protection module 6 is connected to the power output terminal for outputting the power supply voltage VIN;

[0057] The protection module 6 includes a diode D1, a TVS tube TVS1, a resistor R9, a capacitor C5 and a capacitor C6; the anode of the diode D1 is connected to the power output terminal, and the cathode is respectively connected to the first end of the TVS tube TVS1, the first end of the resistor R9, the first end of the capacitor C5 and the first end of the capacitor C6; the second ends of the TVS tube TVS1, the resistor R9, the capacitor C5 and the capacitor C6 are all grounded.

[0058] By adding the protection module 6 at the power output terminal, the diode D1 prevents reverse connection, the TVS tube TVS1 absorbs high-voltage spike pulses, and the resistor R9, the capacitor C5 and the capacitor C6 play a filtering role, making the voltage entering the subsequent stage more stable and clean, and improving the reliability of the circuit.

[0059] The above are all the preferred embodiments of this application. The protection scope of this application is not limited by this. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
