Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dimming circuit technology, and relates to a stepless dimming eye protection circuit and lamp for the elderly. Background Technology
[0002] Existing lighting fixtures for the elderly have many shortcomings in terms of safety, dimming adaptability, and user-friendly design. Traditional lighting fixtures often lack non-contact safety mechanisms, and the use of contact-based current detection poses a risk of electric shock, making it difficult to ensure the electrical safety of the elderly. Regarding dimming functionality, most fixtures cannot dynamically adjust to ambient light, often resulting in excessively bright or dim light that makes it difficult to see. Furthermore, they do not consider the biorhythms of the elderly, and fixed lighting modes can easily disrupt their sleep patterns. In terms of operation, complex button or touch controls are not user-friendly for the elderly with limited mobility or slower reaction times, and there is a lack of convenient physical knob controls. In addition, existing lighting fixtures often turn off instantly, which can cause the elderly to bump into things when getting up at night to turn off the lights due to sudden darkness; the lack of a delayed dimming function improves safety. At the same time, the dimming precision is insufficient, failing to achieve stepless smooth dimming, and sudden changes in light can easily cause visual fatigue, failing to meet the eye protection needs of the elderly. These problems make it difficult for existing lighting fixtures to fully adapt to the physiological and usage needs of the elderly. Summary of the Invention

By controlling the conduction levels of MOSFETs Q1 and Q2, it adjusts the current of the cool white LED group (via inductor L1 and diode D1) and the warm white LED group (via inductor L2 and diode D2). The transconductance amplifier feeds back the current signal to the driver chip U2 to stabilize dimming.
[0067] When the contactless safety module transmits an abnormal signal to the TRIG terminal of the delay dimming module, the timer chip U6 sets a delay through resistor R11 and capacitor C5, controls the conduction state of MOSFET Q3, and causes a change in the EN terminal signal of driver chip U2, thus achieving delayed dimming of the light. Through the above process, all modules work together to achieve comprehensive control of the lighting fixture.
[0068] This application also provides a lamp, including the aforementioned stepless dimming eye-protection circuit for use by the elderly.
[0069] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
