Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of human eye flash fusion testing technology, and in particular to a bright spot flashing control system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, flash fusion testing equipment typically uses lamps of fixed brightness, which are not adjustable, and the lamp color is also fixed. The flash frequency is usually controlled by CPU delay, and there is no loop closure detection, resulting in low accuracy. This leads to inaccurate flash fusion threshold values ​​being obtained from the tests. This is because the human eye perceives different flash fusion threshold values ​​for lamps of different brightness and color.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new approach to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives and other advantages of this utility model, the first objective of this utility model is to provide a bright spot flashing control system, comprising:

[0005] The main controller is used to control the current of the adjustable constant current driver and the enable switch to control the brightness and flashing frequency of the test LED.

[0006] The adjustable constant current driver is used to control the test LED beads so that the color of the test LED beads can be adjusted.

[0007] Furthermore, the main controller includes a PWM controller, which is connected to the current control terminal and enable switch of the adjustable constant current driver.

[0008] Furthermore, the test LED is an RGB LED, which includes R LEDs, G LEDs, and B LEDs.

[0009] Furthermore, the number of adjustable constant current drivers is three. The current control terminals and enable switches of the three adjustable constant current drivers are all connected to the PWM controller, and the output terminals of the three adjustable constant current drivers are respectively connected to the R LED, the G LED, and the B LED.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a photosensitive sensor, which is connected to the analog-to-digital converter of the main controller. The photosensitive sensor is installed on the side of the test LED and converts the light signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the main controller to monitor the brightness and flicker frequency of the test LED in real time.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a rotary encoder, which is connected to the interrupt pin of the main controller and adjusts the step size by changing the frequency based on the rotation direction and rotation speed.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotary encoder uses an EC11 pulse rotary knob.

[0013] Furthermore, the main controller determines the rotation speed by the timing of two adjacent pulses of the EC11 pulse knob, and the timing of the two adjacent pulses is negatively correlated with the pulse adjustment step size.

[0014] Furthermore, the clockwise rotation of the EC11 pulse knob corresponds to an increase in frequency with a step size, and the counterclockwise rotation corresponds to a decrease in frequency with a step size.

[0015] Furthermore, the PWM controller is a 16-bit controller.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] The brightness of the flash fusion test LED is adjustable: the LED is lit by an adjustable constant current driver, and the brightness of the LED is controlled by a high-frequency 16-bit PWM, which has high brightness control accuracy.

[0018] The color of the flash fusion test LED is adjustable: each color is controlled by an independent adjustable constant current driver through RGB LED color adjustment, and the brightness of each color is controlled by 16-bit PWM, which can achieve a variety of color combinations.

[0019] The frequency adjustment step size of the light flashing can be made variable according to the rotation speed: when the rotation speed is fast, the frequency adjustment step size is larger, and when the rotation speed is slow, the frequency adjustment step size is smaller, so as to achieve both rapid frequency adjustment, effectively reducing test time, and ensuring the accuracy of frequency control.

[0020] The flashing frequency of the lamp is achieved by a high-precision, low-frequency 16-bit hardware PWM.

[0021] A photosensitive sensor is used to monitor the brightness and frequency of the lamp in real time to ensure the accuracy of brightness and frequency.

[0022] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of this utility model. In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it according to the contents of the specification, the preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The specific implementation methods of this utility model are given in detail in the following embodiments and their accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

In particular, "height" corresponds to the dimension from top to bottom, "width" corresponds to the dimension from left to right, and "depth" corresponds to the dimension from front to back.

[0034] In existing flash fusion measurement equipment, the brightness and color of the lights are fixed, the flash frequency is usually controlled by CPU delay, and there is no frequency lap feedback, resulting in low accuracy. However, the human eye perceives different flash fusion thresholds for different brightness and color lights.

[0035] This utility model provides a bright spot flashing control system that enables control over both the brightness and color of the light. The flashing frequency is controlled by hardware PWM, and feedback detection is added to the terminal output to ensure that the flashing frequency is completely consistent with the set frequency. The frequency adjustment knob adopts intelligent variable step size, which can effectively reduce the testing time and ensure the accuracy of the test.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] A bright spot flickering control system, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, it includes:

[0038] The main controller 100 is used to control the current of the adjustable constant current driver 200 and the enable switch to control the brightness and flashing frequency of the test lamp 300.

[0039] The adjustable constant current driver 200 is used to control the test lamp 300 so that the color of the test lamp 300 can be adjusted.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, the main controller 100 includes a PWM controller 110, which is connected to the current control terminal and enable switch of the adjustable constant current driver. The current is controlled by the duty cycle of the PWM. The larger the duty cycle, the larger the current; the smaller the duty cycle, the smaller the current.

[0041] Preferably, the PWM controller is a 16-bit controller, and the brightness can be divided into 65,535 levels.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the test LED is an RGB LED, which includes RLED, GLED and BLED.

[0043] In some embodiments, the number of adjustable constant current drivers is three, and the three adjustable constant current drivers control the R, G, and B LEDs of the RGB LED respectively, thereby achieving color adjustment. Specifically, the current control terminals and enable switches of the three adjustable constant current drivers are all connected to the PWM controller, and the output terminals of the three adjustable constant current drivers are connected to the R LED, the G LED, and the B LED respectively.

[0044] like Figure 3 , Figure 6As shown, the adjustable constant current driver 200 includes a first adjustable constant current driver 210, a second adjustable constant current driver 220, and a third adjustable constant current driver 230. The current control terminal of the first adjustable constant current driver 210 is connected to the PWM-R0 pin of the PWM controller, the current control terminal of the second adjustable constant current driver 220 is connected to the PWM-G0 pin of the PWM controller, and the current control terminal of the third adjustable constant current driver 230 is connected to the PWM-B0 pin of the PWM controller. The PWM-R0, PWM-G0, and PWM-B0 pins of the PWM controller are used to control the current of the corresponding adjustable constant current drivers, thereby controlling the brightness of the corresponding lamps.

[0045] The enable switch of the first adjustable constant current driver 210 is connected to the PWM-R1 pin of the PWM controller, the enable switch of the second adjustable constant current driver 220 is connected to the PWM-G1 pin of the PWM controller, and the enable switch of the third adjustable constant current driver 230 is connected to the PWM-B1 pin of the PWM controller. The PWM-R1, PWM-G1, and PWM-B1 pins of the PWM controller are used to control the enable switch of the adjustable constant current controller to control the flashing frequency of the lamp.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a photosensor 300, which is connected to the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of the main controller. The photosensor is mounted on the side of the test LED and is physically isolated from the outside world, only receiving the light emitted by the test LED. The photosensor converts the light signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the main controller to monitor the brightness and flicker frequency of the test LED in real time.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a rotary encoder 400, which is connected to the interrupt pin (INT) of the main controller and adjusts the step size by changing the frequency by judging the rotation direction and rotation speed.

[0048] Preferably, the knob encoder is an EC11 pulse knob. Further, the main controller determines the rotation speed by the timing of two adjacent pulses from the EC11 pulse knob, the timing of which is negatively correlated with the pulse adjustment step size. Further, clockwise rotation of the EC11 pulse knob corresponds to a frequency that increases with the step size, and counterclockwise rotation corresponds to a frequency that decreases with the step size.

[0049] Specifically, the rotary encoder has two signal outputs. For each revolution, both signal pins emit 18 pulse signals. The phase difference between the two signals determines whether it rotates clockwise or counterclockwise. Clockwise rotation (forward rotation) corresponds to a frequency that increases by a step size, while counterclockwise rotation (reverse rotation) corresponds to a frequency that decreases by a step size. Both models are connected to the interrupt pin (INT) of the main controller.

[0050] The rotational speed of the knob is determined by detecting the time t between two adjacent pulses of one of the signals. For example, the adjustment step size of one pulse corresponding to the time t of two adjacent pulses is:

[0051] When t = < 80ms, the step size for one pulse adjustment is 0.7Hz;

[0052] 100ms >= t > 80ms, the step size of one pulse adjustment is 0.5Hz;

[0053] 120ms >= t > 100ms, the step size of one pulse adjustment is 0.3Hz;

[0054] For t>120ms, the step size of one pulse adjustment is 0.1Hz.

[0055] This invention drives RGB LEDs by controlling an adjustable constant current driver, enabling controllable brightness and color. The frequency is achieved through hardware PWM, resulting in high frequency output accuracy. Simultaneously, a photosensitive sensor monitors the brightness and frequency of the LEDs in real time, ensuring accuracy. The flashing frequency is adjusted by capturing signals from a rotary encoder, with a variable step size. The step size increases with faster rotation speed and decreases with slower rotation speed, thus achieving both rapid frequency adjustment, effectively reducing testing time, and ensuring precise frequency control.
