Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to LED driver power supply, and more specifically to an LED constant current power supply and lighting system that can adjust the output according to the number of loads connected in parallel. Background Technology
[0002] Existing lighting systems typically use LEDs as light sources, connected in series or parallel. Multiple LEDs connected in parallel are driven by an LED power supply. Since the operating current of each branch of the LED light source is a constant value, the total operating current required by the LEDs must increase or decrease accordingly when the number of LEDs increases or decreases. However, ordinary parallel constant current power supplies will introduce errors in the number of light sources when the number of light sources changes, resulting in output current errors. Clearly, existing LED constant current power supplies cannot accurately count the number of LEDs and cannot precisely adjust the output current based on the number of parallel LEDs, leading to a mismatch between the output current and the actual required current, thus creating output current errors.

[0088] The specific embodiments of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0089] Please see also Figures 1 to 7 This utility model lighting system includes an LED light source 1, a light source counting resistor 2, and an LED constant current power supply 4. Wherein:
[0090] LED light source 1 includes several LEDs connected in parallel. In this specific embodiment, all LEDs are identical, thereby ensuring that the current through each LED light source branch is the same.
[0091] The light source counting resistor 2 corresponds to the LED light source. The light source counting resistor represents the number of parallel branches of the LED light source; that is, the resistance value of the light source counting resistor is related to the number of parallel branches of the LED light source. The number of parallel branches of the LED light source can be determined by the resistance value of the light source counting resistor. The resistance value of the light source counting resistor can be constructed by multiple counting resistors. The light source counting resistor includes several parallel counting resistors, each with the same resistance value, and the number of counting resistors is proportional to the number of LED light sources. In this specific embodiment, the light source counting resistor includes several parallel counting resistors, the number of which is consistent with the number of LED light sources, and each counting resistor corresponds one-to-one with an LED light source, with each counting resistor having the same resistance value.
[0092] The LED constant current power supply 4 can adjust the output according to the number of parallel loads, that is, adjust the output current according to the number of parallel branches of LED light sources to ensure that the actual working current of each LED light source is consistent with its required current.
[0093] The LED constant current power supply 4 includes a counting sampling resistor 3, a light source load current detection terminal 41, a dedicated constant voltage power supply for counting 42, a counting sampling circuit 43, a comparator circuit 44, and a PWM switching power supply 45. Among them:
[0094] The counting sampling resistor 3 is connected to the light source counting resistor, and the light source counting resistor is connected in series with the counting sampling resistor. Since the resistance values of each counting resistor and the counting sampling resistor are preset, the total resistance value of the counting resistors connected in parallel and then in series with the counting sampling resistor can be calculated. If a constant voltage is applied across the light source counting resistor and the counting sampling resistor, the total resistance value of the light source counting resistor can be obtained through the voltage or current across the counting sampling resistor, thereby determining the number of counting resistors and further determining the number of parallel branches of the LED light source.
[0095] The light source counting resistor and the counting sampling resistor are set together with the LED light source to form the light source assembly. The light source counting resistor can be integrated into the LED light source during production. Of course, the light source counting resistor can also be set synchronously according to the number of LED light source branches when the LED light source branches are connected in parallel.
[0096] The light source load current detection terminal 41 detects the light source load current signal, which represents the actual operating current of the light source. The light source load current signal can be the actual operating current of the LED light source, or a current proportional to the actual operating current of the LED light source. The light source load current detection terminal is mainly used to collect information about the actual operating current of the LED light source, so as to compare it with the current collected by the counting and sampling circuit, thereby determining whether the PWM switching power supply needs to adjust the actual operating current.
[0097] The two ends of the dedicated constant voltage power supply 42 are applied across the light source counting resistor and the counting sampling resistor. The light source counting resistor represents the number of parallel branches of the LED light source, and the light source counting resistor and the counting sampling resistor are connected in series. Due to the setting of the dedicated constant voltage power supply, the voltage applied across the light source counting resistor and the counting sampling resistor is constant. Since the counting sampling resistor is constant, when the light source counting resistor changes, the change in the light source counting resistor can be calculated by the voltage or current applied across the counting sampling resistor.
[0098] The input terminal of the counting sampling circuit 43 is connected to the counting sampling resistor and acquires the counting resistor current signal applied across the counting sampling resistor by the dedicated constant voltage power supply. The counting sampling circuit is mainly used to acquire the counting resistor current signal applied across the counting sampling resistor by the dedicated constant voltage power supply, and can convert the counting resistor current signal into a voltage value suitable for comparison as needed.
[0099] One input terminal of the comparator circuit 44 is connected to the light source load current detection terminal, and the other input terminal is connected to the output terminal of the counting sampling circuit; the comparator circuit compares the light source load current signal and the counting resistor current signal and outputs a PWM control reference signal according to the comparison result.
[0100] The control input terminal of the PWM switching power supply 45 is connected to the output terminal of the comparator circuit. The PWM switching power supply adjusts the actual operating current of the light source according to the PWM control reference signal output by the comparator, so that the actual operating current of the light source is adapted to the number of parallel branches of the LED light source. The load current detection terminal of the light source is connected to the LED light source, and the LED light source is connected to the PWM switching power supply.
[0101] When the number of parallel branches of the LED light source is increased, the number of parallel counting resistors in the light source counting resistors also increases proportionally. This reduces the total resistance of the light source counting resistors, increasing the current and voltage applied to the counting sampling resistors. Consequently, the light source load current signal across the comparator circuit becomes less than the counting resistor current signal, causing the comparator circuit to output a high or low level. The PWM switching power supply adjusts the output current until the light source load current signal is less than the counting resistor current signal. At this point, the comparator circuit output reverses, outputting a low or high level, and the PWM switching power supply stops adjusting the output current. The actual operating current of the light source is now the same as its rated current. Therefore, the output current of the PWM switching power supply can be adjusted according to the number of parallel branches of the LED light source, achieving precise adjustment of the output current and ensuring it matches the actual required current, thus reducing output current errors.
[0102] In this specific embodiment, the dedicated constant voltage power supply for counting is generated by a PWM switching power supply. The dedicated constant voltage power supply is connected to the PWM switching power supply and is constructed by dividing the voltage of the PWM switching power supply and combining it with a constant voltage element. By dividing the voltage of the PWM switching power supply and then combining it with a constant voltage element, a dedicated constant voltage power supply for counting can be constructed with a constant voltage.
