[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, a high-voltage flicker-free LED strip compatible with multiple SCR dimming technologies includes a rectifier bridge DB1, a linear constant current drive chip U1, a dimming discharge chip U2, discharge resistors R7 and R8, a U2 sampling resistor R6, a first LED string, a second LED string, electrolytic capacitors E1 and E2, electrolytic capacitor discharge resistors R4 and R5, U1 sampling resistors R1, R2, and R3, and freewheeling diodes D1, D2, and D3.

[0015] Furthermore, one end of the bleeder resistor R7 is connected to pin 2 of the rectifier bridge DB1, the other end of the bleeder resistor R7 is connected to one end of the bleeder resistor R8, and the other end of the bleeder resistor R8 is connected to pin 1 of the dimming bleeder chip U2.

[0016] Furthermore, one end of the U2 sampling resistor R6 is connected to pin 2 of the dimming discharge chip U2, and the other end of the U2 sampling resistor R6 is connected to pin 3 of the dimming discharge chip U2.

[0017] Furthermore, pin 3 of the dimming discharge chip U2 is connected to pin 8 of the linear constant current drive chip U1.

[0018] Furthermore, pin 4 of the dimming discharge chip U2 is grounded.

[0019] Furthermore, the positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor E1 is connected to pin 2 of the rectifier bridge DB1, and the negative terminal of the electrolytic capacitor E1 is connected to the anode of the freewheeling diode D3.

[0020] Furthermore, one end of the electrolytic capacitor discharge resistor R4 is connected to pin 2 of the rectifier bridge DB1, and the other end of the electrolytic capacitor discharge resistor R4 is connected to the anode of the freewheeling diode D3.

[0021] Furthermore, the anode of the first light string is connected to pin 2 of the rectifier bridge DB1, the cathode of the first light string is connected to the anode of the freewheeling diode D3, and the cathode of the freewheeling diode D3 is connected to pin 1 of the linear constant current drive chip U1.

[0022] Furthermore, the anode of the freewheeling diode D2 is connected to the anode of the freewheeling diode D3, and the cathode of the freewheeling diode D2 is connected to pin 2 of the linear constant current drive chip U1.

[0023] Furthermore, the anode of the freewheeling diode D1 is connected to pin 2 of the rectifier bridge DB1, and the cathode of the freewheeling diode D1 is connected to pin 3 of the linear constant current drive chip U1.

[0024] Furthermore, the anode of the second light string is connected to pin 4 of the linear constant current drive chip U1, and the cathode of the second light string is connected to pin 7 of the linear constant current drive chip U1.

[0025] Furthermore, one end of the sampling resistor R1 is connected to pin 5 of the linear constant current drive chip U1, and the other end of the sampling resistor R1 is connected to pin 6 of the linear constant current drive chip U1.

[0026] Furthermore, one end of the sampling resistor R2 of U1 is connected to pin 6 of the linear constant current drive chip U1, and the other end of the sampling resistor R2 of U1 is connected to pin 4 of the linear constant current drive chip U1.

[0027] Furthermore, one end of the sampling resistor R3 of U1 is connected to pin 8 of the linear constant current drive chip U1, and the other end of the sampling resistor R3 of U1 is connected to pin 7 of the linear constant current drive chip U1.

[0028] Furthermore, one end of the electrolytic capacitor discharge resistor R5 is connected to pin 4 of the linear constant current drive chip U1, and the other end of the electrolytic capacitor discharge resistor R5 is connected to pin 7 of the linear constant current drive chip U1.

[0029] Furthermore, the positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor E2 is connected to pin 4 of the linear constant current drive chip U1, and the negative terminal of the electrolytic capacitor E2 is connected to pin 7 of the linear constant current drive chip U1.

[0030] Furthermore, the linear constant current driver chip U1 is a linear constant current driver chip designed for flicker-free SCR dimming. It supports SCR dimming, enabling uniform changes in LED brightness during the dimming process and meeting flicker certification requirements. The chip has an over-temperature regulation function, improving system reliability. Within half a cycle of the AC input voltage, when the input voltage is high enough to reach the series lamp voltage of the first and second LED strings, the first and second LED strings operate in series; when the input voltage is low enough not to reach the series lamp voltage of the first and second LED strings, the first and second LED strings operate in parallel, reducing the current ripple of the LEDs within the input voltage cycle. This also improves the luminous efficacy of the LED strip.

[0031] Furthermore, the first light string can be composed of LED beads LED1-LED8 connected in series.

[0032] Furthermore, the second string of lights can be composed of LED beads LED9-LED16 connected in series.

[0033] Furthermore, both electrolytic capacitors E1 and E2 are filter electrolytic capacitors, and their working principle is based on the charging and discharging characteristics of capacitors. When the input voltage is higher than the capacitor voltage, the capacitor charges; when the input voltage is lower than the capacitor voltage, the capacitor discharges. In this way, the capacitor can smooth voltage fluctuations, stabilize the normal operation of the LED, and achieve the function of eliminating flicker.

[0034] Furthermore, the high-voltage flicker-free light strip also includes a fuse resistor FR1 and a varistor RV1. One end of the fuse resistor FR1 is connected to the live wire L, and the other end of the fuse resistor FR1 is connected to pin 1 of the rectifier bridge DB1.

Pin 3 of the rectifier bridge DB1 is connected to the neutral wire N, and pin 4 of the rectifier bridge DB1 is grounded.

[0035] Furthermore, the function of the fuse resistor FR1 is: when the circuit experiences an overload or short circuit, causing the current to exceed the rated value of the fuse resistor, it will rapidly heat up and melt within a short time, thereby disconnecting the circuit and preventing damage to other components.

[0036] Further, the main function of the varistor RV1 is to absorb overvoltage in the circuit and prevent other electronic components from being damaged due to overvoltage. When the voltage in the circuit exceeds the threshold of the varistor, it will conduct rapidly and guide the excess current to the ground, thus protecting other components in the circuit.

[0037] A high-voltage non-flickering light strip compatible with multiple thyristor dimmers provided by the present utility model adds a dimming discharge chip U2. During the process of dimming the high-voltage light strip at low power, when the current flowing through the dimmer cannot make the thyristor dimmer work properly, this part of the current can return to GND through the dimming discharge chip U2, so that the LED will not light up and there will be no flickering of the LED caused by the low current of the thyristor dimmer. It should be noted that in practical applications, the discharge current can be set at about 10 mA to ensure that the current flowing through the thyristor dimmer during the entire dimming process of the LED light strip can ensure the normal operation of the thyristor and the non-flickering light strip, making the dimming compatible with more dimmers, improving the user's satisfaction, and at the same time improving the dimming performance of the product.

[0038] For a high-voltage non-flickering light strip compatible with multiple thyristor dimmers provided by the present utility model, the voltage drops of the first lamp string and the second lamp string need to be set to be equal, and the total voltage drop VLED total of the LED lamp string < Vin - VOUT_min, where Vin is the input voltage and VOUT_min is the minimum operating voltage of the chip port.

[0039] The above content is a further detailed description of the present utility model in combination with specific preferred embodiments, and it cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present utility model is only limited to these descriptions. For those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present utility model pertains, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several simple deductions or substitutions can still be made, and all should be regarded as belonging to the protection scope of the present utility model.
