Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of color temperature control technology, and in particular to a color temperature control knob controller that uses a 0-10V DC voltage signal to adjust the color temperature. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, traditional SCR dimming technology is limited to ordinary incandescent and halogen lamps. This is because incandescent and halogen lamps are purely resistive devices; they do not require a sinusoidal input voltage because their current and voltage waveforms are the same. Therefore, regardless of how much the voltage waveform deviates from a sine wave, dimming can be achieved by changing the effective value of the input voltage. The principle of a SCR is to cut the sine wave of alternating current to change its effective voltage value. Because the SCR disrupts the shape of the sine wave and reduces the power factor (typically below 0.5), and the power factor worsens as the conduction angle decreases (only 0.25 at 1 / 4 dimming), the non-sinusoidal waveform also increases the harmonic coefficients, generating severe EMI interference signals on the circuit. It is also prone to instability under low loads; therefore, a bleeder resistor must be added to dissipate at least 1-2 watts of power. Furthermore, an unexpected problem arises when the output of a typical SCR dimming circuit is connected to the LED driver: the LC filter at the input can cause the SCR to oscillate. This kind of oscillation is negligible for incandescent and halogen lamps because the thermal inertia of incandescent lamps makes it imperceptible to the human eye. However, for LED drivers, it will generate noise and LED light flicker. LED drivers also have limitations in dimming power, cannot achieve synchronization, have few control nodes, are not well compatible with LED drivers from various manufacturers, and cannot achieve better control, making it difficult to precisely control the brightness and color temperature of the current light.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a color temperature adjustment power knob controller that utilizes a 0-10V DC voltage signal. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a 0-10V DC voltage signal-based color temperature adjustment power knob controller. This solves the problem that existing technologies often produce unexpected issues when the output of a conventional SCR dimming circuit is sent to the LED driver: the LC filter at the input causes the SCR to oscillate. This oscillation is negligible for incandescent and halogen lamps because the thermal inertia of incandescent lamps makes it imperceptible to the human eye. However, for LED drivers, it generates noise and LED flicker. Furthermore, LED drivers have limitations in dimming power, cannot achieve synchronization, have few control nodes, are not well compatible with LED drivers from various manufacturers, and cannot effectively control the brightness and color temperature of the current light.
