Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of LED dimming, in particular to a low-cost thyristor dimming circuit applied to a two-wire light strip. Background Art

[0002] Thyristor dimming is currently the most widely used dimming method for LEDs. Thyristor dimming is a physical dimming method. Starting at AC phase 0, the input voltage is chopped until the thyristor conducts, and then voltage is applied again. The operating principle is to chop the input voltage waveform by the conduction angle, generating a tangential output voltage waveform. Applying this tangential principle reduces the effective value of the output voltage, thereby reducing the power applied to common loads (resistive loads). Existing conventional thyristor constant-voltage power supplies generally only have dimming functions to save costs. Power supplies with color adjustment functions are expensive and require only pre-set color temperatures, which cannot be changed after installation, resulting in a poor user experience.

The H-bridge color adjustment module 12 can output W color adjustment signals and Y color adjustment signals to input the W input end and Y input end of the two-wire light strip 20 respectively, thereby realizing W+Y color adjustment. The existing two-wire light strip 20 is composed of two color temperature lamp beads (such as white light lamp beads and yellow light lamp beads, or cold light lamp beads and warm light lamp beads) with opposite polarity connected in parallel. The thyristor dimmer 100 generally has a physical switch and a dimming potentiometer. The present application adds a power-off detection module 11 and an H-bridge color adjustment module 12 on the basis of the existing thyristor dimming power supply circuit. Before power is turned on, the initial W light (white light) output can be defaulted. After the physical switch of the thyristor dimmer 100 is initially powered on, the power supply voltage output by the power module 13 is positive at the W input end and negative at the Y output end, so that the W lamp bead is lit, and the dimming potentiometer can infinitely adjust the brightness of the W lamp bead; in one The switch is switched on and off again within a certain time, and the power-off detection module 11 detects a power-off signal.
