Brief Description of the Drawings
[0016] Figure 1 It is a circuit schematic diagram of a circuit for sharing an LED for a brake position switching circuit provided by the present invention. Detailed Embodiment
[0017] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims of this application.
[0018] A circuit for sharing an LED for a brake position switching circuit disclosed in this embodiment is as Figure 1 shown, and its working principle is described as follows:
[0019] 1. When the power supply is applied to PL+ (position light):
[0020] The first line voltage flows through the TVS diode TV1, the capacitor C1, the resistor R1, the diode D1, and the capacitor C2 to the LED beads D2, D4, D7 and the LED beads D3, D5, D8;
[0021] The second line voltage flows through the diode D10, the resistor R14, the resistor R15, the resistor R18, and the zener diode ZD2 to the 18th pin (AD2 network) of the single-chip microcomputer U2. In this embodiment, the model of the single-chip microcomputer U2 is APM32F003F6U7;
[0022] The third line voltage flows through capacitor C10, capacitor C11, and resistor R19 to provide voltage for the LDO chip U3, enabling the LDO chip U3 to output a 5V power supply to power the microcontroller U2. In this embodiment, the model of the LDO chip U3 is MPQ2019.
[0023] 2. When STOP+ (brake light) is powered:
[0024] The first line voltage flows through the TVS diode TV2, capacitor C4, resistor R2, diode D6, and capacitor C2 to the LED beads D2, D4, D7 and the LED beads D3, D5, D8.
[0025] The second line voltage flows through diode D9, resistor R13, resistor R16, resistor R17, and zener diode ZD1 to pin 20 (AD1 network) of the microcontroller U2.
[0026] The third line voltage flows through capacitor C10, capacitor C11, and resistor R19 to provide voltage for the LDO chip U3, enabling the LDO chip U3 to output a 5V power supply to power the microcontroller U2.
[0027] 3. When PL+ (position light) is powered:
[0028] The first line voltage flows through TV1, C1, R1, D1, C2 to D2 - D4 - D7, D3 - D5 - D8.
[0029] The second line voltage flows through D10, R14, R15, R18, ZD2 to pin 18 (AD2 network) of U2.
[0030] The third line voltage flows through C10, C11, R19 to provide voltage for U3 (LDO), enabling U3 to output 5V to power U2 (microcontroller).
[0031] 4. When STOP+ (brake light) is powered alone:
[0032] After the microcontroller U2 detects the power supply signal, its pin 14 (PWM1) and pin 12 (PWM2) output high levels. After being divided and filtered by resistor R5 and resistor R9, a stable voltage is provided for resistor R6 and resistor R4. Utilizing the "voltage follower characteristic" of operational amplifier U1A and operational amplifier U1B, that is, the voltages between the two input pins of the operational amplifier, pin 3 and pin 2 of U1A and pin 5 and pin 6 of U1B, are equal. When a stable voltage is input to resistor R4 and resistor R6, the voltages across resistor R11 and resistor R12 are also Vin. Therefore, regardless of how the external circuit changes, the current flowing through resistor R7 remains unchanged, achieving the effect of constant current for the brake light.
[0033] 5. When PL+ (position light) is powered alone:
[0034] After the single-chip microcomputer U2 collects the power supply signal, its pin 14 (PWM1) and pin 12 (PWM2) output a duty cycle of 10%. After being divided and filtered by resistor R5 and resistor R9, it provides a stable voltage for resistor R6 and resistor R4. The "voltage follower characteristic" of operational amplifier U1A and operational amplifier U1B is utilized, that is, the voltages between pin 3 and pin 2 of U1A and between pin 5 and pin 6 of U1B, the two input pins of the operational amplifier, are equal to achieve this. When a stable voltage is input to resistor R4 and resistor R6, the voltages across resistor R11 and R12 are also Vin. Therefore, no matter how the external circuit changes, the current flowing through resistor R7 remains unchanged, so as to achieve the effect of constant current for the position lamp.
[0035] 6. When STOP+ (brake lamp) and PL+ (position lamp) are powered on simultaneously, the brake lamp lighting effect is achieved.
[0036] 7. According to Ohm's law, current is equal to voltage divided by resistance. Therefore, the currents flowing through resistor R11 and R12 are: V1 / R11, V2 / R12. Since the voltages across resistor R11 and R12 are always V1 and V2, no matter how the external circuit changes, the currents flowing through resistor R11 and resistor R12 always remain unchanged. Similar to the principle of the triode constant current circuit, the currents of LED lamp beads D2, D4, D7 and LED lamp beads D3, D5, D8 are also equal to the currents of resistor R11 and resistor R12. Therefore, even if the voltages of LED lamp beads D2, D4, D7 and LED lamp beads D3, D5, D8 are variable voltages, the currents of LED lamp beads D2, D4, D7 and LED lamp beads D3, D5, D8 can remain fixed and unchanged, achieving the effect of constant current.
[0037] 8. The normal voltage range of the lamp is 9 - 16V. To prevent damage to the lamp caused by overvoltage or undervoltage input, the present utility model adds an over- and under-voltage protection mechanism. When the voltage is lower than 7.5V or higher than 17V, the 20th pin (AD1) and 18th pin (AD2) of the single-chip microcomputer U2 output low level, and MOS transistors Q1 and Q2 are turned off, and the LED lamp beads go out, so as to achieve the effect of protecting the LED.
