DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0027] As described in the background section, in order to ensure that the brightness of the LED lamp does not change with the input of the vehicle power supply, the LED constant current driving chip is generally used in the related art to control the LED light. This chip can control the current in the circuit to remain constant when the output voltage, inductance or input voltage changes, so as to keep the LED light constant. However, in actual application, the chip has high cost and complex design circuit, and the cost performance is low, which is not suitable for mass production.

[0028] The applicant finds that a conventional resistor and a triode can be used to build a control circuit without a chip during implementation of the utility model, and through three working states of the triode, constant current control of current flowing through the LED lamp is realized in combination with a control signal input by a micro control unit, so that the brightness of the LED lamp does not change when the input of the power supply of the whole vehicle changes, and meanwhile the brightness of the LED lamp light can be adjusted in combination with the characteristics of the PWM signal.

[0029] The technical scheme of the utility model will be further explained in detail through specific embodiments below.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 A circuit diagram of the light control circuit 10 provided by the utility model embodiment.

[0031] According to the light control circuit 10 provided by the utility model, the light control circuit 10 comprises a micro control unit 100, a driving unit 200 and a constant current control resistor R7. The micro control unit 100 is connected with the driving unit 200 and is used for providing a PWM signal for the driving unit 200; the driving unit 200 is connected with an LED lamp D1 and is used for controlling the lighting or extinguishing of the LED lamp D1 according to the PWM signal; and the constant current control resistor R7 is used for controlling the current flowing through the LED lamp D1 to be constant when the LED lamp D1 is lighted.

[0032] Specifically, one end of the micro control unit 100 (MCU) is connected with a constant voltage source VCC, and the other end is grounded, so that the control of the circuit can be realized through output of a PWM signal. The PWM signal is composed of a series of pulses, a clock signal with a fixed frequency is generated by an internal timer or a counter of the MCU, and then the clock signal is compared with a preset threshold value by using a logic circuit, so that the PWM signal is generated.

[0033] The driving unit 200 is composed of a triode and a resistor. In a cycle, when the PWM signal is at a high level, the driving unit 200 is turned on, and the LED lamp D1 is lighted; when the PWM signal is at a low level, the driving unit 200 is cut off, and the LED lamp D1 is extinguished, so that the LED lamp D1 is repeatedly controlled to be turned on and off. When the frequency of lighting and extinguishing of the LED lamp D1 exceeds 100 Hz, due to the visual persistence of the human eye, although the LED lamp D1 is actually lighted and extinguished continuously, the visual system of the human eye will average the rapidly changing light signal, so that the LED lamp D1 is perceived as constant brightness.

[0034] It should be noted that the voltage value of the constant voltage source VCC is generally 3.3V-5V, which can be set according to actual requirements.

[0035] ReferenceFigure 2 The PWM signal schematic diagram provided by the utility model embodiment.

[0036] It should be noted that the brightness of the LED lamp D1 can be adjusted by changing the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The duty cycle of the PWM signal is the ratio of the high level time to the whole cycle time in a pulse period, and the unit is % (0%~100%), for example, Figure 2 Figure 2 (a) represents a PWM signal with a 50% duty cycle, which means that the high level time accounts for 50% of the whole cycle, Figure 2 (a) represents a PWM signal with a 75% duty cycle, which means that the high level time accounts for 75% of the whole cycle.

[0037] By changing the duty cycle of the PWM signal, the effective voltage output can be adjusted. Under a fixed frequency, the greater the duty cycle, the higher the average voltage output, the greater the average current flowing through the LED lamp D1, and the brighter the LED lamp D1; the smaller the duty cycle, the lower the average voltage output, the smaller the average current flowing through the LED lamp D1, and the dimmer the LED lamp D1. Assuming that the duty cycle of the PWM signal is Ton, then the average current Iavg flowing through the LED lamp D1 in a pulse period can be represented as:

[0038] Iavg = ILED x Ton

[0039] ILED is the maximum current that can flow through the LED, and the value of the duty cycle Ton ranges from 0 to 1.

[0040] The constant current control resistor R7 is connected to the LED lamp D1 through the driving unit 200, which can control the current flowing through the LED lamp D1 to be consistent with the current flowing through the constant current control resistor R7, so that the current flowing through the LED lamp D1 remains constant when the input of the vehicle power supply 300 changes, thereby ensuring that the brightness of the LED lamp D1 remains unchanged.

[0041] As an optional embodiment, the driving unit 200 includes a first switching unit 210, which includes a first NPN transistor Q1, a first resistor R1, and a second resistor R2.

The first resistor R1 is arranged between the base 11 of the first NPN transistor and the micro control unit 100, and the second resistor R2 is arranged between the base 11 of the first NPN transistor and the emitter 13 of the first NPN transistor. When the PWM signal is high, the first switching unit 210 is turned on, and when the PWM signal is low, the first switching unit 210 is turned off. ​

[0043] The first resistor R1 is arranged between the base 11 of the first NPN tube and the micro control unit 100, for limiting the current flowing through the base 11 of the first NPN tube, thereby protecting the first NPN tube Q1, and further guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the light control circuit 10; the emitter 13 of the first NPN tube and the base 11 of the first NPN tube are connected in parallel with the second resistor R2 to form a negative feedback loop, which can suppress the change of the current, thereby improving the stability of the light control circuit 10.

[0044] When the PWM signal is high, the voltage of the base 11 of the first NPN tube is high, the first NPN tube Q1 enters the saturation region, the internal resistance between the collector 12 and the emitter of the first NPN tube is minimum, the current of the collector 12 of the first NPN tube is large, and the output voltage is low, at this time, the first NPN tube Q1 can be regarded as the conduction state, allowing the current to pass through, and the first switch unit 210 is turned on; when the PWM signal is low, the voltage of the base 11 of the first NPN tube is low, the first NPN tube Q1 enters the cut-off region, the collector 12 and the emitter of the first NPN tube are equivalent to an open circuit, the current of the collector 12 of the first NPN tube is almost zero, and the output voltage is high, at this time, the first NPN tube Q1 can be regarded as the cut-off state, preventing the current from passing through, and the first switch unit 210 is cut off.

[0047] Specifically, the base 21 of the second PNP tube is connected with the collector 12 of the first NPN tube, and the base 21 of the second PNP tube is further connected with the constant voltage source VCC through the third resistor R3; the current output by the constant voltage source VCC can flow through the third resistor R3 and further flow through the fourth resistor R4 to the collector 12 of the first NPN tube. The emitter 23 of the second PNP tube is connected with the constant voltage source VCC, and the current output by the constant voltage source VCC can also flow through the emitter 23 of the second PNP tube to the base 21 of the second PNP tube and the collector 22 of the second PNP tube. The collector 22 of the second PNP tube is grounded, which provides a low potential point for the second PNP tube Q2, so that the current can smoothly flow from the emitter 23 of the second PNP tube to the collector 22 of the second PNP tube, forming a complete current loop.

[0048] The fourth resistor R4 is arranged between the collector 12 of the first NPN tube and the base 21 of the second PNP tube, for shunting the current flowing through the base 21 of the second PNP tube, thereby protecting the second PNP tube Q2 and further ensuring the stability and reliability of the light control circuit 10; the emitter 23 of the second PNP tube and the base 21 of the second PNP tube are connected in parallel with the third resistor R3 to form a negative feedback loop, which can suppress the change of the current, thereby improving the stability of the light control circuit 10.

[0049] When the first switch unit 210 is turned on, the current of the base 21 of the second PNP tube can flow to the collector 12 of the first NPN tube, at this time the second switch unit 220 is turned on; when the first switch unit 210 is turned off, the current of the base 21 of the second PNP tube flows to the collector 12 of the first NPN tube to be turned off, at this time the second switch unit 220 is turned off.

[0050] As an optional embodiment, the fifth resistor R5 and the sixth resistor R6 are arranged between the collector 22 of the second PNP tube and the ground end.

[0051] As an optional embodiment, the driving unit 200 further comprises a third switching unit 230, the third switching unit 230 comprising a third NPN tube Q3, a fifth resistor R5 and a sixth resistor R6; the base 31 of the third NPN tube is connected with the collector 22 of the second PNP tube, the collector 32 of the third NPN tube is connected with the vehicle power supply 300 of the target vehicle, and the emitter 33 of the third NPN tube is grounded; the fifth resistor R5 is arranged between the base 31 of the third NPN tube and the collector 22 of the second PNP tube, and the sixth resistor R6 is arranged between the base 31 of the third NPN tube and the emitter 33 of the third NPN tube; wherein when the second PNP tube Q2 is turned on, the collector 22 of the second PNP tube provides a turn-on voltage for the base 31 of the third NPN tube, and the third NPN tube Q3 is turned on.

[0052] Specifically, the base 31 of the third NPN tube is connected with the collector 22 of the second PNP tube for receiving the current transmitted by the second PNP tube Q2. The collector 32 of the third NPN tube is connected with the vehicle power supply 300 of the target vehicle for receiving the input current provided by the vehicle power supply 300. The emitter 33 of the third NPN tube is grounded, which provides a low potential point for the third NPN tube Q3, so that the current can smoothly flow from the collector 32 of the third NPN tube to the emitter 33 of the third NPN tube, forming a complete current loop.

[0053] The fifth resistor R5 is arranged between the base 31 of the third NPN tube and the collector 22 of the second PNP tube for shunting the current flowing through the collector 32 of the third NPN tube, thereby protecting the third NPN tube Q3 and further ensuring the stability and reliability of the light control circuit 10; the emitter 33 of the third NPN tube and the base 31 of the third NPN tube are connected in parallel with the sixth resistor R6 to form a negative feedback loop, which can suppress the change of the current, thereby improving the stability of the light control circuit 10.

[0054] When the second switching unit 220 is turned on, the current of the collector 22 of the second PNP tube can flow to the base 31 of the third NPN tube, at which time the third switching unit 230 is turned on; when the second switching unit 220 is turned off, the current of the collector 22 of the second PNP tube is cut off to the base 31 of the third NPN tube, at which time the third switching unit 230 is turned off.
