Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of LED lighting technology, and specifically relates to an LED constant current carrier dimming device with dual-channel light switching function. Background Technology

[0002] LED lighting technology has important applications in the current aquaculture industry. Under normal lighting conditions, one color of light, such as white light or warm light, is used, while in some special cases, another color of light, such as blue light, is used.

[0003] Under the currently prevalent 48V DC power supply, there are generally two ways to achieve light switching:

[0004] Option 1: Reverse voltage polarity, with two colors of LEDs connected in parallel and having opposite polarities. Under normal power supply, the warm light illuminates; after polarity reversal, the blue light illuminates. For example... Figure 7 As shown.

[0005] This solution is generally used in traditional voltage regulation and dimming solutions. Its disadvantages are that there is a difference in brightness between the front and back ends due to line voltage drop, and there is no gradual dimming and brightening process when switching between the two lights.

[0006] Option 2: Use a three-wire power supply. The two colors of LED beads share one pole, while the other pole is powered by two separate wires. For example... Figure 8 As shown, the disadvantage of this scheme is that it uses three power lines, which results in higher costs.

[0007] Patent document 1 discloses an LED lamp dimming device that effectively ensures consistent LED lamp current and consistent LED lamp brightness when there is a voltage drop in the entire circuit and the input voltage of each LED lamp is inconsistent.

[0008] However, patent document 1 can only achieve single-channel LED lighting. Therefore, it is crucial to propose a constant current carrier dimming device with dual-channel light switching function to achieve the objectives mentioned above.

[0038] Each LED constant current driver circuit 6 has two outputs, and each output is connected to an LED circuit 3 that can emit LED light of different colors, for example... Figure 1 The LED1 lamp circuit and the LED2 lamp circuit are included.

[0039] The LED1 and LED2 circuits display different colors after being lit. The two LED circuits under each LED constant current drive circuit 6 are independently controlled, meaning their lighting states are controlled separately.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the constant current carrier dimming control circuit is equipped with a switch quantity acquisition circuit. By changing the switch quantity state, the light switching control of two LED lamp circuits under the same LED constant current drive circuit can be realized.

[0056] The second microcontroller power supply circuit is used to remove the square wave signal from the received 48V square wave power supply and convert the 48V power supply with the square wave signal removed into a 5V DC power supply, while simultaneously powering the second microcontroller.

[0057] The square wave signal conversion circuit is used to convert the received 48V square wave power supply into a 5V square wave signal that can be recognized by the second microcontroller.

[0058] The second microcontroller is used to convert the identified square wave signal into PWM control signals with different duty cycles and output them.

[0069] The positive terminal of the input power supply is connected to one end of the eighth resistor R8, the other end of the eighth resistor R8 is connected to one end of the third capacitor C3 and the power supply terminal of the first constant current chip U3, and the other end of the third capacitor C3 is grounded.

[0070] The CS terminal of the first constant current chip U3 is connected to one end of the tenth resistor R10 and the eleventh resistor R11; the other end of the tenth resistor R10 and the eleventh resistor R11 is grounded; the first diode D1 is a Zener diode.

[0071] The output terminal of the first constant current chip U3 is connected to one end of the first inductor L1 and the positive terminal of the first diode D1. The negative terminal of the first diode is connected to one end of the LED1 lamp, and the other end of the first inductor is connected to the other end of the LED1 lamp.

[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, the second constant current power conversion circuit includes:

[0073] The components include the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3, the fourth resistor R4, the twelfth resistor R12, the thirteenth resistor R13, the fourteenth resistor R14, the second constant current chip U4, the fourth capacitor C4, the second diode D2, and the second inductor L2.

[0074] The PWM2 port of the second microcontroller U2 is connected to one end of the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4. The other end of the third resistor R3, one end of the second resistor R2, and the PWM signal input terminal of the second constant current chip are connected.

[0075] The other end of the second resistor R2 and the other end of the fourth resistor R4 are grounded.

The negative terminal of the second diode is connected to one end of the LED2 lamp, and the other end of the second inductor is connected to the other end of the LED2 lamp.

[0079] It should be noted that the values ​​of the corresponding components in the first constant current power conversion circuit and the second constant current power conversion circuit are the same. The serial numbers of each component here are only for distinguishing the names of each component.

[0080] In this embodiment, the PWM1 and PWM2 ports of the second microcontroller U2 are used to control the corresponding constant current power conversion circuit, thereby lighting up the LEDs in the corresponding LED light circuit. This achieves light switching control, where the first type of LED light gradually turns off before the second type gradually turns on, avoiding the animal's discomfort from sudden light switching.

[0081] The general working process of the LED constant current carrier dimming device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0082] When the lighting control switch is off, the signal acquisition port (CHECK) of the first microcontroller is high, and the first microcontroller sends a signal to turn on one LED. When the lighting control switch is on, the signal acquisition port (CHECK) of the second microcontroller is low, and the first microcontroller sends a control signal for lighting switching.

[0083] After the second microcontroller recognizes the signal from the first microcontroller, it controls two independent constant current power conversion circuits through the PWM1 and PWM2 ports to enable the lighting and switching of LEDs in the two LED circuits.

[0084] This invention adds a dual-channel light switching function to the traditional LED constant current carrier dimming device. The constant current carrier dimming control circuit adds a switch quantity acquisition channel, which controls the switching between the two lights according to the change of the switch quantity status. The LED constant current drive circuit is increased to two outputs, providing users with more light options.
