[0033] Working principle of main filament LED1: Main filament LED1 is powered by AC through terminals DZ1 (pins "2" and "3"). An electromagnetic interference absorption circuit (i.e., fast recovery diode TVS1 and resistor R1) filters interference signals. The AC input is converted to DC by a rectifier-filter circuit (i.e., rectifier bridge B1 and solid-state electrolytic capacitor E1). When this DC voltage exceeds the threshold voltage of Zener diode D1, an integrating circuit (i.e., resistor R3 and solid-state electrolytic capacitor E2) provides the operating voltage to the electronic switch (i.e., MOSFET N1). The voltage is then regulated by a DC / DC regulator circuit (i.e., capacitors C1, C2, C3, R4, R5, R6, L1, and IC1) to power the main filament LED1. The system provides a constant voltage. The main filament LED1 is a light-emitting filament. The main filament LED1 is kept stable by the current-limiting resistor RL1. At this time, the voltage of the current-limiting resistor RL1 drives the relay driving circuit (i.e., resistor R8, resistor R18, MOSFET N3, and diode D3) to drive the dual-channel relay J1 (i.e., contacts "1" and "2" of the dual-channel relay J1 change from normally open to normally closed to supply power) to supply power to the current matching load circuit. When the voltage of the current-limiting resistor RL1 exceeds the limit, the short-circuit protection circuit (i.e., resistor R9, Zener diode D2, and MOSFET N2) causes MOSFET N2 to saturate and conduct, and the dual-channel relay J1 drops (i.e., contacts "1" and "2" of the dual-channel relay J1 change from normally closed to normally open to de-energize), and automatically switches to the auxiliary filament control circuit.
[0034] The working principle of the auxiliary filament LED2: The auxiliary filament LED2 is powered by AC through terminal DZ1 (pins "1" and "2"). Interference signals are filtered by the electromagnetic interference absorption circuit (i.e., fast recovery diode TVS2 and resistor R7). The AC input is converted to DC by the rectifier and filter circuit (i.e., rectifier bridge B2 and solid-state electrolytic capacitor E3). When this DC voltage exceeds the threshold voltage of Zener diode D4, it provides the operating voltage to the electronic switch (i.e., MOSFET N4) via the integrating circuit (i.e., resistor R15 and solid-state electrolytic capacitor E4). Finally, the voltage is regulated by the DC / DC regulator circuit (i.e., voltage regulator D4). Capacitors C5, C6, C7, R17, R19, R20, L2, and IC2 (DC / DC voltage regulator module) provide a constant voltage for the auxiliary filament LED2. The auxiliary filament LED2 is a light-emitting filament, and its stable operation is maintained by the current-limiting resistor RL2. The voltage across RL2 is then transmitted through the relay drive circuit (resistors R10, R12, and MOSFET). The circuit, powered by diodes N6 and D6, drives dual-channel relay J2 (meaning contacts "1" and "2" of relay J2 change from normally open to normally closed to supply power). When the voltage across current-limiting resistor RL2 exceeds the limit, the short-circuit protection circuit (resistor R11, Zener diode D5, and MOSFET N5) causes MOSFET N5 to saturate and conduct, deactivating dual-channel relay J2 (meaning contacts "1" and "2" of relay J2 change from normally closed to normally open to deactivate power). Simultaneously, through resistor R13 and MOSFET N7, the magnetically latched double-coil secondary latching relay CB1 is reversed. The normally open contacts 2 and 3, and 7 and 8 of the double-coil secondary latching relay CB1 are changed from normally open to normally closed. Contacts 2 and 3 of the double-coil secondary latching relay CB1 are connected in parallel to pins 1 and 3 of MOSFET N1, and contacts 7 and 8 of the double-coil secondary latching relay CB1 are connected in parallel to pins 1 and 3 of MOSFET N4, thereby turning off the main and auxiliary filament electronic switches and ensuring that the main and auxiliary filaments are reliably extinguished.
[0035] To ensure that the lamp will not re-ignite in the event of a main filament failure, an interlocking mechanism (i.e., a double-coil secondary holding relay CB1) is added to the auxiliary filament control circuit. Its function is as follows:
[0036] (1) When the auxiliary filament LED2 is working, the second normally open contact of the second dual-channel relay J2 (i.e., the normally open contacts "4" and "5" of the second dual-channel relay J2) locks the electronic switch of the main filament (i.e., the first field-effect transistor N1), so that the first field-effect transistor N1 is in the off state, so as to keep the auxiliary filament LED2 working normally.
[0037] (2) When the voltage value of the second current limiting resistor RL2 exceeds the limit when the auxiliary filament LED2 is working, the short circuit protection circuit (i.e., resistor R11, resistor R13, Zener diode D5, MOSFET N5, and MOSFET N7) drives the double coil holding relay CB1 to operate, and short-circuit the gate and source of the electronic switch of the main filament LED1 (i.e., MOSFET N1) through its first normally open contact (i.e., “2” and “3”), turning off the power supply of the main filament LED1. And short-circuit the gate and source of the electronic switch of the auxiliary filament LED2 (i.e., MOSFET N4) through its second normally open contact (“7” and “8”), turning off the power supply of the auxiliary filament LED2, thus realizing dual filament fault protection.
[0038] In addition, a reset circuit (i.e., diode D7, capacitor C4, resistor R14, and double coil secondary holding relay CB1) is added to the auxiliary filament control circuit. When the main / auxiliary filament fault protection is manually tested, the main / auxiliary filament can be automatically restored to normal operation when the secondary power is supplied to the terminal DZ1 through this circuit.
