In particular, in the field of automobile lighting, dynamic water flow effect car lamp designs are widely popular in the market due to their unique visual effects and safety. This design not only enhances the aesthetics of the car, but also plays an important role in improving vehicle recognition and safety. Currently on the market, the common method to achieve dynamic water flow effect of automobile atmosphere lamp is to arrange LED light source array on a printed circuit board, and by lighting LED light source in turn, light is shot into the thick wall piece from the back or top of the thick wall piece. Inside the thick wall piece, the light is constantly reflected and refracted, and finally shot out from the same light-emitting surface of the thick wall piece, forming the visual effect of dynamic water flow. However, the existing LED array arrangement scheme has some limitations. First, this scheme cannot be used with light guide or optical fiber to achieve more complex and delicate dynamic water flow effect. Second, since the reflection and refraction of light need to be realized in the thick wall piece, a larger structure space is required, which increases the complexity of design and manufacturing.

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0028] Referring to Figures 1 to 4The embodiment provides a control circuit for controlling a light guide water effect, which is applied to a light guide water lamp, the light guide water lamp comprising a light guide assembly and a light source assembly, the light source assembly being installed at the end of the light guide assembly, and the light source assembly comprising a first light source and a second light source; the control circuit comprising: a micro control unit; the first light source and the second light source being electrically connected to the micro control unit; the micro control unit controlling the brightness and the switching state of the first light source and the second light source through a pulse width modulation signal generator; and a power supply being electrically connected to the micro control unit, the first light source and the second light source, and supplying power for the micro control unit, the first light source and the second light source.
[0029] Specifically, in the embodiment, as shown in a structural schematic diagram of the light guide water lamp, Figure 2 The light guide water lamp comprises a light guide assembly and a light source assembly, wherein the light guide assembly is a light guide or an optical fiber; the light source assembly comprises a first light source and a second light source, and the first light source and the second light source are LED lamps in the embodiment. In the embodiment, the light source assembly only comprises the first light source and the second light source, and in other embodiments, the type, quantity and color of the light source assembly are arranged according to functional requirements, and are not limited by the embodiment. The first light source and the second light source are arranged at the light inlet of the two ends of the light guide or the optical fiber, and do not need to be arranged in an array. By controlling the bright-dark change of the first light source and the second light source, a dynamic water flow visual effect can be created. Moreover, the water flow lamp structure comprising only one light guide assembly and one light source assembly is suitable for scenes with narrow structural space, and the application scenarios are more extensive. The light source is distributed at the light inlets of the two ends of the light guide or the optical fiber, and the change of light in the light guide or the optical fiber can be controlled because the light guide or the optical fiber has the light transmission characteristic. When the light source emits light, the light is captured by the light guide or the optical fiber and propagates along the length of the light guide or the optical fiber. The material inside the light guide or the optical fiber has high reflectivity, and can effectively guide the light to be transmitted along the light guide or the optical fiber. By controlling the current size of the light source at the two ends, the bright-dark change of the light source can be controlled. When the current of the light source increases, the light source emits stronger light, resulting in an increase in the light intensity in the light guide or the optical fiber. Conversely, when the current of the light source decreases, the light emitted by the light source becomes weaker, resulting in a decrease in the light intensity in the light guide or the optical fiber. By adjusting the current size of the light source at the two ends, the bright-dark change of the light source can be realized, thereby creating a water flow visual effect. This effectively simplifies the arrangement of the light source and the design of the control circuit, and also provides a more flexible control mode.
[0030] Specifically, pulse width modulation (PWM) signal is a technology for controlling the average power of a signal by adjusting the width of the pulses. The period of the PWM signal is fixed, but the duration of the high level of the pulse can vary. The pulse width modulation signal generator can generate pulses with different duty cycles according to the input control signal, such as voltage or digital signal, thereby achieving control over the brightness of the light source. Among them, the pulse width modulation signal generator is set in the microcontroller, by changing the duration of the high level, the output power can be effectively controlled, thereby realizing the adjustment of the brightness, speed and other parameters of the light source.
[0031] In an embodiment of the present application, the control circuit further comprises a power converter, the power converter being electrically connected to the power supply, the first light source and the second light source; the micro control unit is electrically connected to the power converter; wherein the electrical energy of the power supply is converted by the power converter and input to the first light source and the second light source; the micro control unit can control the start and stop of the power converter.
[0032] Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in the electrical diagram of the control circuit of the present embodiment, Figure 1 DC_EN refers to the connection line or pin between the DCDC module and the MCU, used to control the enable or switching function of the DCDC module. Generally, the MCU can control the switching of the DCDC module by controlling the level state of the DC_EN pin. When the DC_EN pin is high, the DCDC module is in the enabled state and can work normally; when the DC_EN pin is low, the DCDC module is disabled and stops working. By controlling the DC_EN pin, the MCU can flexibly control the switching state of the DCDC module to realize the management and control of the power supply. This control method can be used in energy saving, protection circuit and equipment application scenarios. Among them, the DCDC module is a power converter, and the MCU is a micro control unit. The DCDC converter is a power conversion device, which mainly functions to convert the voltage of a direct current power supply from one level to another. In the present embodiment, the input power is converted by the DCDC module into a constant voltage 5V LED+ output signal, which provides power signals to the first light source LED1 and the second light source LED2 respectively; Power is the power supply; User is the input unit.
[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, the control circuit further comprises a low dropout linear regulator, the low dropout linear regulator being arranged between the power supply and the micro control unit.
[0034] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the LDO can convert the voltage provided by the power supply into a stable voltage required by the micro control unit. Among them, the low dropout regulator (Low Dropout Regulator, LDO) is a power management device used to convert the input DC voltage into a stable output DC voltage. Compared with traditional linear voltage regulator, one of the significant features of LDO is that it can still work normally when the difference between the input voltage and the output voltage is very small.
[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, the control circuit further comprises an input unit connected to the micro control unit; wherein the input unit is used to receive the parameter configuration of the user and transmit the parameter configuration to the micro control unit; so that the micro control unit adjusts the brightness and switching state of the first light source and the second light source.
[0036] Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in the flowchart of the micro control unit, Figure 3 the parameter configuration input by the user through the input unit will be processed by the micro control unit into a pulse width modulation signal and sent to the two light sources respectively. Among them, after the micro control unit obtains the user input, it will form a task sequence and send the task sequence to the CPU for response, so as to realize the adjustment of the flow speed of the light guide water lamp.
[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, the parameters of the pulse width modulation signal include duty cycle; wherein the higher the duty cycle, the higher the brightness of the first light source or the second light source; the lower the duty cycle, the lower the brightness of the first light source or the second light source; when the duty cycle is 100%, the brightness of the first light source or the second light source is 100%; when the duty cycle is 0%, the brightness of the first light source or the second light source is 0%.
[0038] Specifically, the duty cycle is the ratio of the duration of high level in the pulse width modulation signal to the total cycle time. It is usually expressed in percentage, reflecting the proportion of the time that the signal is in high level state in the whole cycle. When the duty cycle is 100%, the signal is always in high level state, and the light source will always emit light with maximum brightness. When the duty cycle is 0%, the signal is always in low level state, and the light source will be completely extinguished. When the duty cycle is between 0% and 100%, the brightness of the light source will change according to the different duty cycles.
[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, when the brightness of the first light source or the second light source is reduced to 0%, the micro control unit compensates 5% duty cycle for the first light source or the second light source to compensate light for the first light source or the second light source.
[0040] Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the duty cycle of the first light source or the second light source reaches 0%, the software of the light guide flowing water lamp will control the control unit to increase the duty cycle of the first light source or the second light source by 5%. When the light source brightness decreases to 0%, the environment may become too dark, affecting the user's visual experience. By compensating 5% of the duty cycle, the visibility of the light source can be maintained to some extent, avoiding the discomfort caused by complete extinction. And when the duty cycle decreases, by increasing the duty cycle by 5% for low-bit compensation, the visibility of the light source in low brightness state can be effectively improved. This compensation makes the light source maintain a certain brightness when switching alternately, even at a lower brightness, thereby reducing the visual jarring.
[0041] In an embodiment of the present application, the parameters of the pulse width modulation signal further include an adjustment period; wherein the adjustment period is used to control the brightness change rate of the first light source and the second light source; the smaller the adjustment period, the faster the brightness change of the first light source and the second light source; the larger the adjustment period, the slower the brightness change of the first light source and the second light source.
[0042] Specifically, the adjustment period refers to the time interval in the pulse width modulation signal for controlling the brightness change of the light source. It determines the update frequency of the pulse width modulation signal, thereby affecting the rate of brightness change of the light source. The faster the brightness change rate of the light source. Since the micro control unit can update the duty cycle of the pulse width modulation signal more frequently, the brightness of the light source can quickly respond to the control instruction, realizing rapid brightness change. It is suitable for scenes that require fast response, such as dynamic effects, warning lights or applications that require rapid brightness adjustment. The slower the brightness change rate of the light source. The frequency of the micro control unit updating the pulse width modulation signal is reduced, and the brightness change of the light source will become smooth, and the response time is prolonged. It is suitable for scenes that require smooth transition, such as in-car lighting, atmosphere lights, etc., to avoid the discomfort caused by sudden brightness changes.
[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, the range of variation of the adjustment period includes [5ms, 25ms].
[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the microcontroller unit (MCU) provides two independent channels of pulse width modulation (PWM) signals at a frequency of 40kHz to individually control the first and second light sources. The 40kHz frequency refers to the period frequency of the PWM signal being 40,000 Hz. Frequency refers to the number of times a signal repeats per unit time. In this case, the PWM signal repeats 40,000 times per second, meaning each cycle lasts 1 / 40,000 of a second. This frequency is typically used to control the brightness of LEDs because the human eye has a lower sensitivity to light at a frequency of 40kHz, avoiding flickering or visual discomfort. The adjustment period is 5ms to 25ms, meaning the duty cycle of the PWM signal can be reset or adjusted every 5ms to 25ms. For example, if the adjustment period is set to 5ms, the duty cycle of the PWM signal can change rapidly every 5ms, resulting in a faster change in LED brightness and a more rapid flow effect. If the adjustment period is set to 25ms, the duty cycle of the PWM signal changes more slowly, resulting in a smoother change in LED brightness and a slower flow effect. Here, PWM stands for Pulse Width Modulation.
[0045] Specifically, when the first light source is fully lit, its brightness is 100%, and the second light source's brightness is 0%. The brightness of the first light source is reduced from 100% to 0%, while the brightness of the second light source is increased from 0% to 100%. It is then determined whether the second light source is fully lit, i.e., whether its brightness is 100%. If the second light source's brightness is 100%, its brightness is reduced from 100% to 0%, while the brightness of the first light source is increased from 0% to 100%. It is then determined whether the first light source is fully lit, i.e., whether its brightness is 100%. In this embodiment, both the first and second light sources are LEDs; the first light source is LED1, and the second light source is LED2. The PWM duty cycle is directly proportional to the LED brightness; a duty cycle of 0% represents the lowest brightness, and a duty cycle of 100% represents the highest brightness. The total cycle time can be obtained based on the duty cycle's rate of change and the adjustment period. Figure 4 As shown in the flowchart of the control circuit, actual verification shows that when the adjustment cycle is 10ms, and the duty cycle reaches 100%, the PWM adjustment cycle is divided by 10 times to increase the execution time to 100ms. When the duty cycle reaches 0%, a 5% low-level compensation is added in software to optimize the low-level compensation, reducing the switching time between LE and LED2 by 50ms. These two time cycle adjustments result in a better visual effect. By alternating the brightness of the first and second light sources at both ends of the light guide component and utilizing the light conduction characteristics of the light guide component, a flowing light effect is created, enhancing visual appeal. During the brightness change process, the brightness changes of the first and second light sources are gradual, avoiding abrupt brightness jumps. This smooth transition improves the user's visual experience and reduces visual fatigue.
[0046] When the LED1 is fully bright and the duty cycle of the PWMA is 100%, the LED2 is not bright and the duty cycle of the PWMB is 0%+ the low-bit compensation value of the duty cycle, when the adjustment period is 10ms, the adjustment period is adjusted to 10 times of the frequency, the single-color light emission of the single LED1 light source is kept for 100ms through the light guide, and the actual effect is better than that without adjustment.
[0047] When the LED1 is gradually darkened, the duty cycle of the PWMA is attenuated in the direction from 100% to 0% along with the adjustment period. Meanwhile, the LED2 is gradually brightened, the duty cycle of the PWMB is increased in the direction from 0% to 100% along with the adjustment period, and the gradual change effect from the LED2 light source to the LED1 light source needs a period of 950ms through the software low-bit compensation of the duty cycle when the adjustment period is 10ms, and the actual effect is smoother than the light source flow without adjustment.
[0048] When the LED2 is fully bright and the duty cycle of the PWMB is 100%, the LED1 is not bright and the duty cycle of the PWMA is 0%+ the low-bit compensation value of the duty cycle, when the adjustment period is 10ms, the adjustment period is adjusted to 10 times of the frequency, the single-color light emission of the single LED2 light source is kept for 100ms through the light guide, and the actual effect is better than that without adjustment.
[0049] When the LED2 is gradually darkened, the duty cycle of the PWMB is attenuated in the direction from 100% to 0% along with the adjustment period. Meanwhile, the LED1 is gradually brightened, the duty cycle of the PWMA is increased in the direction from 0% to 100% along with the adjustment period, and the gradual change effect from the LED1 light source to the LED2 light source needs a period of 950ms through the software low-bit compensation of the duty cycle when the adjustment period is 10ms, and the actual effect is smoother than the light source flow without adjustment.
