[0002] As is well known, an LED (Light Emitting Diode) module is a low-voltage lighting product. As an independent working unit, it is cascaded together through wires and widely used in fields such as light-emitting characters and advertising light boxes. LED modules are mainly divided into two categories: constant voltage modules and constant current modules. Each LED module is an independent lighting unit. For the convenience of installation and use, multiple LED modules are usually connected in parallel with wires to form a whole. If you want to light this whole lighting unit, you need to connect the positive and negative poles of the LED module to the power supply. However, most LED modules use a switching power supply as the power supply. Then, at the moment when the switching power supply starts up, due to the existence of large-capacity capacitors and inductive components, surge voltage and surge current may be generated in the circuit, and this surge phenomenon may sometimes cause damage or burnout of the LED module.

[0024] Next, the solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.

When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 as shown, which is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of the first embodiment of the protection circuit applied to the LED module provided by the present utility model.

[0028] The present utility model provides a protection circuit applied to an LED module, including a bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and a bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2; one end of the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and one end of the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2 are both connected to one of the positive power supply and the negative power supply, and the other end of the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the other end of the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2 are both connected to the other of the positive power supply and the negative power supply; when the protection circuit is connected in parallel to the power input end of an external LED module, the operating voltages of the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2 are both slightly higher than the supply voltage of the LED module.

[0029] Specifically, a bipolar transient voltage suppression diode (Transient Voltage Suppressor Diode, TVS diode) is a special diode that can be used to protect components in a circuit from overvoltage (surge voltage is a type of overvoltage) and overcurrent (surge current is a type of overcurrent). It acts as a transient suppressor in the circuit, can quickly respond and absorb overvoltage, and direct it to the ground or other low-impedance paths, thereby protecting other components from damage. The bipolar transient voltage suppression diode can work in both the forward and reverse directions. When working in the forward direction, its working principle is similar to that of an ordinary diode, having a forward conduction characteristic and being able to protect against forward overvoltage; while when working in the reverse direction, when subjected to overvoltage, it will quickly become a low-impedance state, absorb the overvoltage and direct it to the ground or other low-impedance paths to protect other components. Therefore, the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode can protect components in the circuit bidirectionally, improving the stability and reliability of the entire circuit.

[0030] Specifically, two bipolar transient voltage suppression diodes are used in this embodiment. It should be noted that using one bipolar transient voltage suppression diode can also protect the LED module, but using two parallel-connected bipolar transient voltage suppression diodes can provide better protection performance. Because two parallel-connected bipolar transient voltage suppression diodes can increase the overall absorption capacity of the protection circuit, share the energy of the surge voltage, reduce the load on each bipolar transient voltage suppression diode, and thus extend its lifespan. Moreover, using two parallel-connected bipolar transient voltage suppression diodes can improve the reliability of the protection circuit. If one bipolar transient voltage suppression diode fails or is damaged, the other one can still continue to work and protect the components in the protection circuit. Additionally, two parallel-connected bipolar transient voltage suppression diodes can share the voltage more evenly, reduce the pressure on a single bipolar transient voltage suppression diode, and improve the overall stability. Therefore, using two parallel-connected bipolar transient voltage suppression diodes can provide better protection effect and reliability, ensuring that the LED module is effectively protected when surge voltage and surge current occur in the circuit. Of course, in the actual application process, the number of bipolar transient voltage suppression diodes can also be increased according to specific situations to further improve the protection performance and reliability. However, in this process, factors such as cost, space, protection effect, and system stability need to be comprehensively considered to finally select the most suitable solution for the specific application scenario.

[0031] Specifically, the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2 can share the absorption load of the voltage and current in the circuit, increase the capacity and efficiency of the protection circuit, and improve the load-bearing capacity and stability of the entire protection circuit. Connect the protection circuit in parallel to the power input end of the external LED module. When the LED module is subjected to a high-energy impact, the two bipolar transient voltage suppression diodes can work together to absorb more surge voltage and surge current, thereby more effectively protecting the components of the LED module. And since the function of the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2 is to absorb the surge voltage and surge current, in order to ensure that the protection circuit can work effectively when the LED module is subjected to a high-energy impact, the working voltages of the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2 should be slightly higher than the supply voltage of the LED module to ensure that the surge voltage and surge current can be effectively absorbed and dispersed during the process of protecting the LED module.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the protection circuit proposed in this embodiment for the LED module is connected in parallel to the power input terminal of the LED module. When a high-energy impact occurs at the moment of switching power supply startup or power grid fluctuation, the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2 will respond at an extremely fast speed, changing from high impedance to low impedance, forming a path between the power supply positive terminal VCC+ and the power supply negative terminal VCC-, absorbing the instantaneous large current, thereby protecting the components of the subsequent LED module from being damaged or burned out. The structure of the entire circuit is simple, the performance is stable and reliable, it has strong feasibility, and can significantly extend the lifespan of the LED module.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2 have the same specifications; wherein, the specifications include the external dimensions, operating voltage, and breakdown voltage.

[0034] Specifically, the external dimensions include parameters such as the length, width, and height of the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode. Mastering the external dimensions of the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode facilitates appropriate layout and arrangement during the design and installation processes. The bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2 having the same external dimensions make it more convenient to reasonably and aesthetically layout these two bipolar transient voltage suppression diodes on the PCB circuit board and can be easily and correctly connected to other components.

[0035] Specifically, the operating voltage refers to the maximum voltage that the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode can withstand under normal operating conditions, usually measured in volts (V). The breakdown voltage refers to the voltage value at which the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode experiences breakdown and the current rapidly increases when subjected to an excessive voltage. The breakdown voltage is an important parameter for protecting components from damage. The bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2 have the same operating voltage and breakdown voltage. Then, during the operation of the protection circuit, under the same voltage conditions, it can be ensured that the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2 can simultaneously play a protective role when subjected to a surge voltage, avoiding uneven protection effects caused by inconsistent parameters. Moreover, the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2 with the same operating voltage and breakdown voltage can balance the load in the circuit, share the absorption load of the surge voltage and surge current, improve the capacity and efficiency of the protection circuit, and ensure more effective protection of the components of the LED module when subjected to a high-energy impact. Additionally, since the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2 have the same operating voltage and breakdown voltage, it is easier to select and layout these two components, simplifying the circuit design process. When maintaining and replacing the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode, it is also easier to find substitutes with the same specifications, improving the convenience of maintenance.

[0036] Specifically, in addition to the form factor, operating voltage, and breakdown voltage, the specifications of the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode also include other parameters, such as: Power Rating (indicating the maximum power that the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode can withstand, usually measured in watts (W)), Response Time (referring to the time required for the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode to reach the response state from encountering an overvoltage, usually measured in nanoseconds (ns)), and Peak Pulse Current (indicating the maximum current value that the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode can instantaneously withstand, usually measured in amperes (A)), etc. These parameters are very important for selecting the appropriate bipolar transient voltage suppression diode and ensuring the normal operation of the protection circuit.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of the second embodiment of the protection circuit applied to the LED module provided by the present utility model.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, the protection circuit further includes a capacitor C1, and the capacitor C1 is connected in parallel with the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1.

[0039] Specifically, the capacitor C1 is respectively connected in parallel with the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2. Such a design has multiple benefits. First, the capacitor C1 can act as a filter to smooth the voltage fluctuations in the circuit, improving the stability and reliability of the circuit. Second, the presence of the capacitor C1 can help improve the response speed of the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode, quickly absorb the surge voltage, and effectively protect the components in the circuit. In addition, the capacitor C1 can also reduce noise interference, improve signal clarity, while increasing the protection effect and providing additional energy storage to comprehensively protect the components in the circuit. Generally speaking, by connecting the capacitor C1 in parallel, the smoothness of the power supply output voltage can be ensured, the output high-frequency clutter can be filtered out, and the performance and stability of the protection circuit can be comprehensively improved, enabling the entire lighting unit to operate more stably.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the capacitor C1 is a capacitor with a capacitance value of 100 nF.

[0041] Specifically, the capacitance value represents the amount of electric charge that the capacitor can store, which affects the function and performance of the capacitor in the circuit.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the capacitor C1 is a ceramic capacitor.

[0043] Specifically, a ceramic capacitor is a capacitor with a ceramic material as the dielectric, which has the advantages of high stability, good frequency characteristics, low loss, etc., and is applicable to various electronic devices and circuits. Ceramic capacitors perform excellently at high frequencies, are small in size and light in weight, and can provide a fast response speed. They are a commonly used and stable capacitor.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, the capacitor C1 is disposed at an intermediate position between the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2.

[0045] Specifically, disposing the capacitor C1 at an intermediate position between the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2 can help balance the voltage distribution in the circuit, ensure that the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2 can both benefit from the filtering and response characteristics of the capacitor C1, and improve the efficiency of the entire protection circuit. And because the capacitor C1 can respond faster to voltage changes in the circuit and help suppress the influence of inductance, disposing the capacitor C1 at an intermediate position between the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D1 and the bipolar transient voltage suppression diode D2 can help improve the response speed, thereby absorbing surge voltage faster, protecting the components in the circuit, and improving the stability and reliability of the circuit. When designing the circuit layout, such a setting can also better optimize the circuit structure, reduce interference and noise in the circuit, and improve the overall performance of the circuit.

[0046] The following are embodiments of the protection module applied to the LED module provided by the present utility model.

By directly mounting circuit components on the aluminum substrate, heat can be effectively conducted to the surface of the aluminum substrate, improving the heat dissipation efficiency, reducing the component temperature, thereby extending the component life and enhancing the circuit performance.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, the protection module applied to the LED module further includes a housing 20 and a transparent cover 30. The transparent cover 30 is provided at the open end of the housing 20, and the PCB aluminum substrate 10 is disposed in the accommodation cavity formed by the transparent cover 30 and the housing 20.

[0051] Specifically, the transparent cover 30 is used to protect the components disposed inside the cover to prevent damage caused by dust, dirt, or other substances. The transparent cover 30 is a waterproof cover. Sometimes, a waterproof sealing strip can also be added between the transparent cover 30 and the PCB aluminum substrate 10 or a waterproof design can be adopted to further ensure that the protection circuit inside the cover is not damaged by water in a humid environment.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the transparent cover 30 is a PC cover.

[0053] Specifically, this protection module uses a PCB aluminum substrate 10 and a transparent PC (Polycarbonate) cover. The TVS tubes (bipolar transient suppression diode D1 and bipolar transient suppression diode D2) and the capacitor C1 are injection-molded into a separate module and connected in parallel to the power input end of the LED module. In this design, the protection module uses a PCB aluminum substrate 10 and a transparent PC cover to ensure the stability and safety of the protection module. The TVS tubes and the capacitor C1 are injection-molded into a separate module, and this design can effectively protect the components inside the transparent cover 30 from the influence of the external environment, such as dust, humidity, etc. Connecting these components in parallel to the power input end of the LED module can protect other components in the circuit from damage when the LED module is subjected to a surge voltage or surge current. Overall, this protection module combines the advantages of the PCB aluminum substrate 10 and the transparent PC cover, is injection-molded into a separate module, can provide a stable power input, extend the service life of the LED module, and effectively protect the LED module while improving its performance and reliability.
