[0026] The specific structure of the color temperature control circuit provided by the present application will be described in detail in combination with the drawings as follows.

[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] Referring to Figure 1 shown, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a color temperature control circuit connection structure provided by an embodiment of the present application. The color temperature control circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a power supply circuit 100, an LED circuit 200 and a color temperature selection circuit 300 connected in series. The LED circuit comprises at least one LED branch, and when a plurality of LED branches are included, the plurality of LED branches are connected in parallel. As an example, in the embodiment, the LED circuit comprises two LED branches, which are a first LED branch 210 and a second LED branch 220. The first LED branch 210 is a high color temperature LED branch, and the second LED branch 220 is a low color temperature LED branch.

[0029] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 shown, when a plurality of LED branches are included, the color temperature selection circuit 300 is connected in series in each LED branch. The color temperature selection circuit 300 connected in series in each LED branch realizes color temperature control of the LED branch.

[0030] Referring to Figure 2 shown, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a color temperature control circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application. Each color temperature selection circuit 300 comprises a plurality of switching switches and an adjusting circuit 310, and the adjusting circuit 310 is connected in series with different branches of the switching switch. The adjusting circuit 310 comprises a first resistor and a first diode connected in series, and the resistance values of the first resistors of the adjusting circuits 310 connected in series with different branches of the switching switch are different. The switching switch can switch between different adjusting circuits 310, so as to change the resistance value of the LED circuit, and then the current of the LED circuit is adjusted, so as to realize color temperature control.

[0031] As an example, in the embodiment, the switch SW2 comprises two switching switches, which are referred to as a first switching switch and a second switching switch for convenience of description, and the first switching switch and the second switching switch work independently. The first switching switch is connected in series with the first LED branch (high color temperature LED branch), so as to realize color temperature control of the first LED branch (high color temperature LED branch). The second switching switch is connected in series with the second LED branch (low color temperature LED branch), so as to realize color temperature control of the second LED branch (low color temperature LED branch).

[0032] In the embodiment, each of the plurality of switches is connected in series with three different color temperature adjustment circuits 310. In the adjustment circuit 310 connected to pin 11 of the first switch, the first resistor is resistor R11 and the first diode is diode D3; in the adjustment circuit 310 connected to pin 9 of the first switch, the first resistor is resistor R12 and the first diode is diode D4; in the adjustment circuit 310 connected to pin 8 of the first switch, the first resistor is resistor R13 and the first diode is diode D5. In the adjustment circuit 310 connected to pin 2 of the second switch, the first resistor is resistor R8 and the first diode is diode D6; in the adjustment circuit 310 connected to pin 4 of the second switch, the first resistor is resistor R9 and the first diode is diode D7; in the adjustment circuit 310 connected to pin 5 of the second switch, the first resistor is resistor R10 and the first diode is diode D8. The resistors R8, R9 and R10 have different resistance values, and the resistors R11, R12 and R13 have different resistance values. Therefore, when the switches are switched, the resistance values of the resistors connected to the LED circuit are different, the current flowing into the LED lamp is different, and the color temperature is achieved.

[0033] The plurality of switches has two types of contacts, which are referred to as first contacts and second contacts for convenience of description. The first contacts are a plurality of contacts for connecting the adjustment circuits or directly connecting the LED circuit, and the second contact is one contact for connecting the negative pole of the power supply to form a loop. In the embodiment, the first switch has pins 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, and the second switch has pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The pin 10 of the first switch and the pin 3 of the second switch are the second contacts, and the remaining pins of the first switch and the second switch are the first contacts. When the switch is closed, the first contacts are directly or indirectly connected to the second contact to form a loop. As an example, when the first switch is switched to pin 11, the pin 11 is connected to the pin 10, the adjustment circuit with resistor R11 and diode D3 is connected to the first LED branch, and thus the current of the first LED branch is changed. Similarly, when the first switch is switched to pins 8 and 9, the first resistors in the adjustment circuits 310 are R12 and R13, respectively. Because the resistance values of R12 and R13 are different, the current of the first LED branch is changed. When the first switch is switched to pin 2, the first LED branch is not connected to the adjustment circuit 310, and thus the current in the first LED branch is different from that when the first LED branch is connected to the adjustment circuit. The second switch controls the current of the second LED branch in the same way as the first switch, and as a person skilled in the art can understand, the description is not repeated here.

[0034] A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device with unidirectional conductivity and light-emitting properties. The brightness of an LED is directly affected by the amount of current. Within its normal operating range, a larger current increases the LED's brightness, while a smaller current decreases it. Changes in current can also alter the spectral distribution of the LED. This is because different wavelengths of light may have different emission efficiencies within the LED, and changes in current can alter the proportions of these efficiencies. This change results in a shift in the color of the emitted light, manifesting as a change in color temperature.

[0035] Therefore, when the current in the first LED branch and / or the second LED branch changes, the light emitted by the LED circuit 200 will produce a new color temperature effect. Understandably, by precisely adjusting the current ratio of the first LED branch and the second LED branch, a series of different mixed color temperatures can be obtained to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

[0036] Continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the LED circuit 200 includes two LED branches, namely the first LED branch 210 and the second LED branch 220. Each LED branch includes multiple light-emitting diodes connected in series, wherein the first LED branch includes light-emitting diodes LED1 to LED9, and the second LED branch includes light-emitting diodes LED10 to LED18.

[0037] In the first LED branch 210, the positive terminal of the power supply circuit 100 is connected to the positive terminal of LED1, and the negative terminal of LED9 is connected to the positive terminals of diodes D3, D4, and D5, respectively, and pin 2 of the second multiplexer. In the second LED branch 220, the positive terminal of the power supply circuit 100 is connected to the positive terminal of LED10, and the negative terminal of LED18 is connected to the positive terminals of diodes D6, D7, and D8, respectively, and pin 6 of the second multiplexer. Pin 10 of the first multiplexer and pin 4 of the second multiplexer are grounded to form a loop.

The circuit structure is simple and reliable, does not require microcontroller control, and is easy to debug.

The diode D1 has unidirectional conductivity, preventing reverse current.

[0040] In some embodiments, the power supply circuit 100 further comprises a filter circuit 130, one end of the filter circuit 130 is connected between the output end of the rectifier circuit 110 and the input end of the plurality of control units 120, and the other end of the filter circuit 130 is grounded.
