Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting control systems, and in particular to a simplified main and auxiliary lighting control system. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing use of lighting in daily life, the requirements for the color and brightness of lighting have also increased. However, existing lighting includes cool white light, warm white light, and sub-lights (such as yellow light and colored light (such as GRB lights)).
[0003] However, how to precisely control the combination or independent control of individual lights has always been a challenge in the lighting system control industry, involving the demand for cascaded products for main and auxiliary lights, dimming and color adjustment.
[0004] 1. When the control system is more complex, its cost will also increase.
[0005] 2. When the control system is simple, more chips are needed to adjust the lights. Utility Model Content
[0006] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a simplified main and auxiliary lighting control system, which aims to improve the existing lighting system, realize the control of main and auxiliary lights, and thus improve the ease of use and operability of the lights.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a simplified main and auxiliary lighting control system, comprising:
[0008] Constant voltage power input, wherein the constant voltage power input includes a first main line and a second main line.
[0009] Multiple lamps are cascaded between the first main line and the second main line.
[0010] The lamp body includes a main lamp with cool white light, a main lamp with warm white light, and sub-lamp.
[0011] The lamp body sub-lamp is in constant-on mode. Multiple lamp bodies are cascaded in parallel between the second main lines, and their color temperature and brightness can be controlled and adjusted. Multiple lamp body outputs are connected in parallel between the second main lines, meaning the lamp body sub-lamp is in off output mode.
[0012] The main light cool white light, the main light warm white light and the sub-light are respectively connected in series with resistors R1, R2 and R3;
[0013] A voltage regulator circuit, comprising a voltage regulator chip U1, wherein the VIN terminal of the voltage regulator chip U1 is connected to the first main line.
[0014] Control chip U2, the sixth pin of which is connected to the voltage regulator circuit;
[0015] The first pin of the control chip U2 is connected to the switch J2 to control the brightness of the corresponding lamp.
[0016] The sixth pin of the control chip U2 is connected to the switch J1 to switch the lamp body on or off;
[0017] The main light's cool white light is connected in series with a first sampling control circuit, which is connected to the seventh pin of the control chip U2.
[0018] The main light warm white light is connected in series with a second sampling control circuit, which is connected to the third pin of the control chip U2;
[0019] The sub-lamp is connected in series with a third sampling control circuit, which is connected to the fifth pin of the control chip U2;
[0020] The Vout terminal of the voltage regulator chip U1 is connected to the sixth pin of the control chip U2.
[0021] The advantages of this application are:
[0022] 1. Control each lamp separately: With independent circuit control, the main lamp cool white light, the main lamp warm white light and the sub-lamp can be controlled. The sub-lamp is always on. When the main lamp is on, the sub-lamp is off. The color temperature and brightness of the main lamp cool white light and the main lamp warm white light can be adjusted.
[0023] 2. PWM dimming: Brightness adjustment is achieved by changing the duty cycle of the PWM signal of the driving power transistor switch through the built-in logic of the control chip U2, thereby changing the length of time the lamp is on.
[0024] 3. Color temperature switching is simple; the control chip U2 can simultaneously adjust the relative brightness ratio of cool white light and warm white light. When warm light is needed, reduce the brightness of the cool light or increase the brightness of the warm light.
[0025] 4. The constant current drive of the voltage regulator chip U1 ensures that each LED string operates under a set constant current. This is achieved by the voltage regulator chip U1 sampling the voltage (CS) of the current sampling resistor in the detection circuit and feeding it back to the control chip U2 for adjustment. This is safer and provides more stable brightness than directly changing the voltage to drive the LEDs, and effectively reduces flicker.
[0026] 5. All user operation commands to the control chip U2 are received, parsed, and converted into corresponding control signals (switching commands, multi-channel PWM signals) and output to the driver chip for execution, making it simple and stable to use. Attached Figure Description

[0053] A capacitor C1 is connected in parallel between the GND terminal of the voltage regulator chip U1 and the second main line.
[0054] Capacitors C1 and C2 are used to filter the power input.

They receive PWM drive signals from U2 and quickly turn on (ON) and off (OFF), thereby precisely controlling the average current flowing through the corresponding LED string (i.e., adjusting the brightness).
[0063] The internal circuitry of the chip generates high and low level signals with corresponding duty cycles and stronger driving capabilities at the output terminal (OUT) based on the control signal, which are used to drive the power transistors (Q1, Q2, Q3).

They feature built-in 8K Flash program memory, allowing for multiple reprogramming options, greatly simplifying user development. In addition to retaining the basic features of traditional 8051 chips, they also integrate TouchKey, 16-bit PWM, 5-bit DAC, UART, and I / O pins. 2 C. Features include an RGB LED cascade controller and low-voltage detection (LVD) modules. It supports three power-saving modes: IDLE, STOP, and low-speed operation to suit applications with varying power consumption requirements. Its powerful functionality and superior anti-interference performance make it widely applicable in various home lighting, home audio touch control, home appliance touch control, Bluetooth speakers, table lamps and bathroom mirror lights, and landscape and ambient lighting strips.

Its internal current-limiting and thermal shutdown characteristics make it virtually unaffected by overload. When used in a Zener diode-resistor combination, it effectively increases output impedance while reducing quiescent current.
