[0025] The following is a further description of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the control circuit provided by the present invention. This control circuit can be applied to stereo microscopes and includes multiple components connected in sequence. First, the power supply terminal P1 serves as the circuit's starting point and can be connected to an external battery pack for power. Next, a mechanical switch SW is connected to the power supply terminal P1 to control the circuit's on / off state. Following the mechanical switch SW is a first diode element D1, whose terminals are connected to the power supply terminal P1 and the mechanical switch SW, respectively, to provide rectification or protection. Specifically, the power supply terminal P1 is equipped with a first interface N1 and a second interface N2, while the mechanical switch SW is equipped with a first interface M1 and a second interface M2. The anode of the first diode element D1 is connected to the first interface N1, and its cathode is connected to the second interface M2. The second interface N2 is connected to the first interface M1. Next, a boost chip U1 is connected to the circuit and includes a first pin and a second pin. The anode of the second diode element D2 is connected to the first pin, while the regulating resistor R1 can be connected to the second pin to adjust the output voltage. In addition, the power output terminal P2 is connected to an LED light, which can provide the required power for the stereo microscope or other equipment.

[0027] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first diode element D1 may be a TVS diode (Transient Voltage Suppressor Diode), also known as a transient voltage suppressor (TVS). This diode is an electronic component specifically designed to protect circuits from transient overvoltage surges. By rapidly responding to and absorbing overvoltage, a TVS diode ensures stable circuit operation and prevents damage or malfunction caused by overvoltage.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present invention, the resistance of the regulating resistor R1 can be adjusted within a range of 0 ohms to 10,000 ohms. This adjustment allows the output voltage to be flexibly adjusted between 8.45V and 12V. As the output voltage changes, the brightness of the LED lamp can also be smoothly adjusted from 0% to 100%. In particular, when the output voltage reaches 12V, the brightness of the LED lamp reaches its maximum value, i.e., 100% brightness.

[0029] In some embodiments of the present invention, the power supply terminal P1 can be connected to a 5V battery pack output to power the device. In order to save power, when the light is not needed, the power supply can be stopped by disconnecting the mechanical switch SW.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present invention, the boost chip U1 can use a chip model MT3540. It should be noted that MT3540 is a current-mode boost converter, and its pins generally include the following pins: an input voltage pin (VIN), which can be used to receive input voltage. In MT3540, the input voltage range is generally 2.5V to 5.5V; a switch pin (SW), which is used to connect an external inductor. When the chip is working, the voltage on this pin can periodically switch between high and low levels to achieve a boost function; a feedback pin (FB), which is used to receive a feedback signal of the output voltage to control the output voltage of the chip. By adjusting the resistor divider network connected to the FB pin, the desired output voltage can be set; a ground pin (GND), which is the ground terminal of the chip; an enable pin (EN), which is a control pin used to turn the chip on or off. When the EN pin is set to a high level, the chip starts working and outputs a boosted voltage, with the output voltage reaching up to 28V; when the EN pin is set to a low level, the chip stops working and does not output any voltage.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present invention, the pins of the boost chip U1 can be configured as follows: its first pin is designated as the SW pin, and the second pin is the FB pin. Furthermore, the positive pole of the second diode element D2 is directly connected to the SW pin. In order to more finely control the circuit, the regulating resistor R1 is connected to the boost chip U1 through a first resistor R2 and a second resistor R3 connected in series. Specifically, the regulating resistor R1 includes a first terminal and a second terminal, wherein the first terminal is connected to the first resistor R2, and the second terminal is connected to the second resistor R3, and the first resistor R2 and the second resistor R3 are connected to each other. By adjusting the parameters of the resistor R1, the output voltage can be effectively adjusted to meet the power supply requirements of different LED lamps, thereby ensuring that the microscope can work normally and provide good lighting effects.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control circuit further includes an inductor L1, which is connected in parallel with the boost chip U1. Specifically, the boost chip U1 has a third pin and a fourth pin, with one end of the inductor L1 connected to each of these pins, and the other end connected to the SW pin. Specifically, the third pin can be the enable pin EN, and the fourth pin can be the input voltage pin VIN.

[0033] In addition, in some other embodiments of the present invention, the boost chip U1 further includes a ground pin GND for providing a stable ground connection.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control circuit further includes a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor C2 , both of which can be connected in parallel with the first diode element D1 and work together to stabilize and filter the circuit.

[0035] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the control circuit further includes a third resistor R4, a fourth resistor R5, and a third capacitor C3 connected in parallel. One end of the third resistor R4 is closely connected to the cathode of the second diode element D2, and the other end is cleverly connected to the second resistor R3.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control circuit further includes a fourth capacitor C4 and a fifth capacitor C5 connected in parallel. One end of the fourth capacitor C4 is tightly connected to the third capacitor C3, achieving mutual cooperation between the capacitors, while the other end is securely grounded, providing additional stability and protection for the entire circuit.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, a fifth resistor R6 and a sixth resistor R7 are further provided in parallel within the control circuit. One end of the fifth resistor R6 is connected to the fifth capacitor C5, while the other end is connected to the power supply output terminal P2, which includes the first input terminal K1 and the second input terminal K2. Specifically, the first input terminal K1 is directly connected to the fifth resistor R6, while the second input terminal K2 is connected to the fifth capacitor C5. It is worth noting that the fifth resistor R6 and the sixth resistor R7 play a crucial role in this circuit. They serve as current-limiting resistors for the LED lamp, effectively preventing damage to the LED lamp due to excessive current.

[0038] The above is a specific description of the preferred implementation of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above implementation. Technical personnel familiar with the field can also make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
