Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting power supply technology, specifically to a dimming power supply. Background Technology
[0002] With continuous social progress and rapid development of information technology, people's living standards are constantly improving, and their demands for personalized lighting environments are also increasing. High-voltage LED strips, due to their higher input voltage and smaller voltage drop attenuation over the same distance compared to low-voltage strips, are more suitable for long-distance wiring. However, traditional high-voltage LED strip power supplies have a single input and output voltage, making them incompatible with household and industrial power standards in most parts of the world. This results in manufacturers stockpiling too many dimming power supply products with different parameters. Furthermore, existing high-voltage LED strip power supplies generally lack dimming and color temperature adjustment functions, preventing personalized lighting settings, and they lack leakage protection. In the event of a sudden extreme leakage, the luminaire load can easily be damaged. Utility Model Content

The MCU control system can receive the voltage regulation signal mounted on the input AC voltage through the signal conversion circuit, and control the DC / DC conversion circuit to adjust the voltage output to the lamp load to adapt to high-voltage lamp strips with different specifications.

[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the dimming power supply according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0015] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, with reference to Figure 1This utility model provides a dimming power supply, including an electromagnetic filter circuit, a relay, a leakage current protection circuit, a power supply circuit, a power factor correction circuit, a DC / DC conversion circuit, a signal conversion unit, an MCU control system, and a dimming unit. The input terminal of the electromagnetic filter circuit is connected to the input power supply. The relay is connected in series between the output terminal of the electromagnetic filter circuit and the input terminal of the power factor correction circuit. The output terminal of the power factor correction circuit is connected to the positive terminal of the lamp load through the DC / DC conversion circuit. The power factor correction circuit improves the input current waveform, increases the power factor, reduces harmonic injection into the power grid, stabilizes the output voltage, and improves the output power quality, thus allowing compatibility with a relatively wide input voltage range and maintaining a stable high voltage output to the DC / DC conversion circuit. The output terminal of the leakage current protection circuit is connected to the coil of the relay. The leakage current protection circuit is connected to the output terminal of the electromagnetic filter circuit through the power supply circuit, obtaining the electrical energy required for operation from the DC power output after rectification by the electromagnetic filter circuit. It is understood that in some embodiments, the electrical energy required for the leakage current protection circuit to operate can also be obtained directly from the input power supply by the power supply circuit. The electromagnetic filtering circuit reduces electromagnetic interference from the power supply to surrounding electrical equipment and from external electrical equipment to the power supply, ensuring the power supply meets electromagnetic interference standards in different regions. The leakage current protection circuit detects leakage in the lighting fixture and controls the relay to disconnect when leakage is detected, providing leakage protection for both the power supply and the lighting load. The MCU control system is connected to the dimming signal receiving unit, and through the signal conversion unit, it is connected to the output of the relay. The MCU control system is also connected to the negative terminal of the lighting load via the dimming unit and the control terminal of the DC / DC conversion circuit. The MCU control system identifies dimming signals input through the input line via the signal conversion unit, or receives external dimming signals via the dimming signal receiving unit. Based on the dimming signals, it controls the DC / DC conversion circuit and the dimming unit to provide the lighting load with a suitable output voltage and achieve the desired lighting effect.
[0016] This dimming power supply features a wide input and output voltage range, making it compatible with household and industrial power standards in most parts of the world. It can accommodate high-voltage LED strips with different input voltage specifications and meets electromagnetic interference standards in various regions. This reduces the variety of power supplies customers need to stock, lowers production costs, and provides leakage protection for the lighting load through a leakage current protection circuit, improving power supply safety. Furthermore, this dimming power supply can both identify dimming signals on the input line through a signal conversion unit and receive external dimming signals through a dimming signal input unit, facilitating intelligent upgrades to lighting circuits.

The dimming circuit can be a MOSFET driver circuit, such as a PWM driver circuit, which receives the PWM control signal output by the MCU control system and adjusts the conduction time of the MOSFET according to the duty cycle of the PWM control signal to adjust the color temperature or brightness of the lamp.
[0019] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, to ensure the dimming power supply is compatible with more dimming control methods, the dimming signal receiving unit includes a wired control signal receiving circuit and / or a wireless control signal receiving circuit. It is understood that the wired control signal receiving circuit can be one or more common wired dimming signal methods such as DALI signal receiving circuit, DMX signal receiving circuit, 0-10V signal receiving circuit, 1-10V signal receiving circuit, 10V PWM signal receiving circuit, and adjustable resistor signal receiving circuit. The wireless control signal receiving circuit can include various wireless communication modules, such as ZigBee modules, 433MHz modules, NFC modules, Bluetooth modules, and Wi-Fi modules.
[0020] In some embodiments, the dimming power supply may further include a peripheral unit connected to the MCU control system. The peripheral unit is used to finely adjust parameters such as the output voltage, output current, and output frequency of the dimming power supply to meet the needs of more types of lighting loads and achieve more diverse dimming effects.
