[0022] Some lighting equipment (shadowless lamps) on the market suffer from flickering, high lamp head temperatures, and control boxes susceptible to interference from external high-current devices. Directly using the MCU's PWM interface for digital dimming, the buck constant-current chip used has a limited heat dissipation area. Some manufacturers' control boxes directly use TTL signals for driver and control connections. Instead of directly using the MCU's PWM port, they choose a suitable PWM output chip and design an appropriate constant-current output while ensuring illumination and temperature control.
[0023] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a control circuit for medical lighting provided in an embodiment of the present application is provided. In view of this, as Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a control circuit for medical lighting, including: a control chip 100, an RC circuit 200, an adjustable resistor 300, a first inductor 400 and a light-emitting diode 500, the adjustable resistor 300 is connected to the control chip 100, the light-emitting diode 500 is connected to the lighting device, the two pins of the control chip 100 are respectively connected to the signal input and the PWM signal, the control chip 100, the first inductor 400, the RC circuit 200 and the light-emitting diode 500 are connected in sequence, and one end of the adjustable resistor 300 and one end of the RC circuit 200 are both grounded.
[0024] Specifically, the adjustable resistor 300 is connected to the control chip 100, and the light-emitting diode 500 is connected to the lighting equipment (shadowless lamp) to illuminate the surgical site and reduce shadows during the operation. The two pins of the control chip 100 are respectively connected to the signal input and the PWM signal, for example, the IN pin and the PWM pin of the control chip 100, the signal input (INPUT) is transmitted to the IN pin, and the PWM signal is transmitted to the control chip 100 through the PWM pin. The control chip 100, the first inductor 400, the RC circuit 200 and the light-emitting diode 500 are connected in sequence. In this way, based on the PWM signal and the INPUT signal input, the control chip 100 realizes precise control of the brightness of the light-emitting diode 500, wherein one end of the adjustable resistor 300 and one end of the RC circuit 200 are both grounded to ensure the stability and safety of the circuit. For example, the first inductor 400 is an inductor of 10μH, the signal input can come from a switch or sensor for controlling the opening and closing of the lighting equipment, and the PWM signal can come from the PWM signal generated by the MCU for controlling the brightness of the light-emitting diode 500. It should be noted that the resistance value of the adjustable resistor 300 can be adjusted according to the needs of different occasions to optimize the brightness and shadowlessness of the lighting device.
[0025] It should be noted that the control circuit of the medical lighting in the embodiment of the present application can not only be used for power supply control of the shadowless lamp, but also for auxiliary lighting in the operating room, dental and ophthalmic diagnostic lighting, etc. In order to avoid repetition, the following description will be given using the shadowless lamp as an example, which should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of this application.
[0026] The control chip 100, RC circuit 200, and adjustable resistor 300 effectively suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI), reducing the likelihood of the shadowless lamp being affected by external electromagnetic fields and ensuring stable operation. The control chip 100 precisely adjusts the brightness of the shadowless lamp, improving the accuracy of the brightness.
[0027] It should be understood that the multi-channel output PWM chip reduces the occupation of the MCU's PWM resources; the analog signal is output through the RC processing circuit to control the constant current output of the buck circuit, adjust the lighting parameters, improve the simple digital dimming, and effectively avoid the flicker phenomenon; the control chip 100 has a chopping frequency characteristic, and a common mode inductor (first inductor) is connected to its outside, which reduces a certain amount of EMI interference for subsequent EMC testing and avoids the phenomenon of light flicker.
[0028] In some embodiments, the RC circuit 200 includes a first resistor 210 and a first capacitor 220 , the first inductor 400 , the first resistor 210 and the light-emitting diode 500 are connected in sequence, one end of the first capacitor 220 is grounded, and the other end of the first capacitor 220 is connected to the first resistor 210 .
[0029] Specifically, the resistance of the first resistor 210 should be adapted to the light-emitting diode 500, and the current is limited by the first resistor 210 to protect the light-emitting diode 500 from damage by excessive current. Similarly, the capacitance of the first capacitor 220 should also be adapted to the requirements of the control circuit. For example, the capacitance of the first capacitor 220 is 0.1μF. The first capacitor 220 is used to filter out high-frequency noise in the circuit and improve the stability of the circuit. For example, the first inductor 400 is an inductor of 10μH. The first inductor 400 is connected to the first resistor 210 and the light-emitting diode 500 in sequence to form a loop. One end of the first capacitor 220 is grounded, and the other end is connected to the first resistor 210. The light-emitting diode 500 is connected to the shadowless lamp. The PWM signal of the control chip 100 adjusts the brightness of the light-emitting diode 500. By adjusting the resistance of the adjustable resistor 300, the input voltage of the control chip 100 can be changed, thereby achieving precise control of the brightness of the light-emitting diode 500. In particular, the number of the light emitting diodes 500 is two, and the two light emitting diodes 500 are arranged in series. For example, the two light emitting diodes 500 are respectively located on both sides of the signal output end.
[0030] The first capacitor 220 and the first resistor 210 effectively suppress high-frequency noise, improve the filtering effect, improve the stability of the circuit, help reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), and ensure the reliability of the control circuit. The light-emitting diode 500 is protected by the first resistor 210 to prevent the light-emitting diode 500 from being damaged by excessive current.
[0031] In some embodiments, the control circuit of the medical lighting includes a second capacitor 600 , one end of the second capacitor 600 is connected to a pin of the control chip 100 , and the other end of the second capacitor 600 is connected to the first inductor 400 .
[0032] Specifically, one end of the second capacitor 600 is connected to the BST pin of the control chip 100 . For example, the second capacitor 600 is a 0.1 μF capacitor. The second capacitor 600 filters high-frequency noise in the circuit. The other end of the second capacitor 600 is connected to the first inductor 400 .
[0033] Since the second capacitor 600 is connected between the pin of the control chip 100 and the first inductor 400, it can perform filtering, effectively suppress high-frequency noise, protect the control chip 100 from power ripple and electromagnetic interference, and improve the stability of the control chip.
[0034] In some embodiments, the control circuit of the medical lighting includes a third capacitor 700 , one end of the third capacitor 700 is connected to the signal input, and the other end of the third capacitor 700 is grounded.
[0035] Specifically, one end of the third capacitor 700 is connected to the signal input (INPUT), for example, one end of the third capacitor 700 and the signal input (INPUT) are both connected to the IN pin of the control chip 100. The other end of the third capacitor 700 is grounded to stabilize the reference potential of the circuit.
[0036] The introduction of the third capacitor 700 effectively filters out noise and interference in the circuit, thereby improving the quality and clarity of the signal, improving signal quality, enhancing circuit stability, and improving control accuracy.
[0037] In some embodiments, the control circuit for medical lighting includes a fourth capacitor 800 . One end of the fourth capacitor 800 is connected to the VCC pin of the control chip 100 , and the other end of the fourth capacitor 800 is grounded. This reduces voltage fluctuations and interference in the circuit and improves overall circuit stability. Specifically, the fourth capacitor 800 and the third capacitor 700 have the same capacitance value. For example, the fourth capacitor 800 and the third capacitor 700 both have a capacitance value of 0.1 μF.
[0038] In some embodiments, the control circuit of the medical lighting includes a second resistor 900 , one end of the second resistor 900 is connected to the VCC pin of the control chip 100 , and the other end of the second resistor 900 is connected to the adjustable resistor 300 .
[0039] Specifically, the two ends of second resistor 900 are connected to the VCC and REFI pins of control chip 100, respectively. Meanwhile, the other end of second resistor 900 is connected to adjustable resistor 300, enabling circuit parameters, such as current, to be adjusted as needed. By adjusting the value of adjustable resistor 300, the user can precisely control the brightness and other characteristics of the shadowless lamp.
[0040] The introduction of the second resistor 900 can ensure that the control chip 100 obtains a stable power supply. The user can adjust the value of the adjustable resistor 300 according to specific needs, thereby achieving precise control of the brightness and other characteristics of the shadowless lamp, so that the shadowless lamp control circuit can adapt to different application scenarios and needs.
