Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lamp mirror technology, and in particular to a spotlight mirror. Background Technology
[0002] A light-up mirror is a bathroom fixture that combines mirror and lighting functions, typically installed on a bathroom wall. Its mirror surface is made of high-quality material, providing a clear image. The accompanying lighting system offers even and soft light, convenient for washing, applying makeup, etc., and comes in various styles to match different bathroom designs, combining practicality and aesthetics.
[0003] However, the LED string in the light mirror adopts a fully series design. When one of the LED beads is open-circuited, the current path is interrupted. The remaining LED beads are compensated by the driver circuit, which results in a dim overall brightness. Therefore, the failure of a single LED bead causes the entire light strip to dim or not light up.
[0004] Therefore, a spotlight lens is proposed to solve or alleviate the above problems. Utility Model Content

A groove is formed on the light-guiding bevel, and an LED string is embedded in the groove. The LED string is electrically connected to a string protection circuit. When any LED in the LED string is open-circuited, the string protection circuit forms a current bypass channel to ensure that the current output by the constant current drive maintains its original path and continues to flow through the remaining normal LEDs.
[0007] Preferably, the LED string protection circuit includes a power conversion module and a constant current drive module. The positive DC output of the power conversion module is connected to the voltage input of the constant current drive module, the negative DC output of the power conversion module is grounded, the current output of the constant current drive module is connected to the input of the LED string, and the grounding terminal of the LED string is grounded.
[0008] Preferably, the power conversion module includes a fuse, an AC / DC converter, and a filter capacitor. The first end of the fuse is connected to the live wire of the mains power supply, and the second end of the fuse is connected to the AC input terminal of the AC / DC converter. The AC neutral terminal of the AC / DC converter is connected to the neutral wire of the mains power supply. The positive terminal of the DC output of the AC / DC converter is connected to both the positive terminal of the filter capacitor and the input terminal of the constant current drive module. The negative terminal of the DC output of the AC / DC converter is grounded, and the negative terminal of the filter capacitor is grounded.
[0009] Preferably, the constant current drive module includes a PT4115 constant current drive chip, a power inductor, a current sampling resistor, a freewheeling diode, and a total current limiting resistor. The power terminal of the PT4115 constant current drive chip is connected to the output terminal of the power conversion module. The power switching terminal of the PT4115 constant current drive chip is connected to the first terminal of the power inductor and the anode of the freewheeling diode. The current sampling terminal of the PT4115 constant current drive chip is connected to the first terminal of the current sampling resistor. The ground terminal of the PT4115 constant current drive chip is grounded. The cathode of the freewheeling diode is energized. The second terminal of the power inductor is connected to the first terminal of the total current limiting resistor. The second terminal of the total current limiting resistor is connected to the input terminal of the LED string. The second terminal of the current sampling resistor is grounded.
[0010] Preferably, the LED string includes a plurality of LED beads connected in series and a plurality of bypass resistors. The positive terminal of the first LED bead is connected to the second terminal of the total current limiting resistor in the constant current drive module.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: When this invention is in operation, the LED string protection circuit automatically conducts through its parallel bypass resistor to form a current bypass channel when any LED bead is open-circuited. This allows the current output by the constant current drive to maintain its original path and continue to flow through the remaining normal LED beads, thereby enabling the light emitted by the LED string to be focused in conjunction with the light guide slope, so as to provide focused lighting for the user.

[0022] A type of spotlight lens, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a frame 1. A light guide bevel is formed on the inner circle of the front of the frame 1. A groove 102 is formed on the light guide bevel. An LED string 4 is embedded in the groove 102. The LED string 4 is electrically connected to a string protection circuit. When any LED in the LED string 4 is open-circuited, the string protection circuit forms a current bypass channel to ensure that the current output by the constant current drive continues to flow through the remaining normal LEDs.
[0023] The bottom of the frame 1 is integrally formed with a groove 2. The top surface of the groove 2 is recessed downward to form a toothbrush grass 201 and a cup groove 202. The top of the frame 1 is integrally formed with a connecting piece 3. The connecting piece 3 has a through hole 301 through which it passes.
[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the LED string protection circuit includes a light source conversion module and a constant current drive module 6. The positive DC output of the power conversion module 5 is connected to the voltage input terminal of the constant current drive module 6, the negative DC output of the power conversion module 5 is grounded, the current output terminal of the constant current drive module 6 is connected to the input terminal of the LED string 4, and the ground terminal of the LED string 4 is grounded.
[0025] The light source conversion module includes a fuse, an AC / DC converter, and a filter capacitor. The first end of the fuse is used to connect to the mains live wire, and the second end of the fuse is connected to the AC input terminal of the AC / DC converter. The AC neutral terminal of the AC / DC converter is used to connect to the mains neutral wire. The positive terminal of the DC output of the AC / DC converter is connected to both the positive terminal of the filter capacitor and the input terminal of the constant current drive module 6. The negative terminal of the DC output of the AC / DC converter is grounded, and the negative terminal of the filter capacitor is grounded.
[0026] The constant current drive module 6 includes a PT4115 constant current drive chip, a power inductor, a current sampling resistor, a freewheeling diode, and a total current limiting resistor. The power terminal of the PT4115 constant current drive chip is connected to the output terminal of the power conversion module 5. The power switching terminal of the PT4115 constant current drive chip is connected to the first terminal of the power inductor and the anode of the freewheeling diode. The current sampling terminal of the PT4115 constant current drive chip is connected to the first terminal of the current sampling resistor. The ground terminal of the PT4115 constant current drive chip is grounded. The cathode of the freewheeling diode is energized. The second terminal of the power inductor is connected to the first terminal of the total current limiting resistor. The second terminal of the total current limiting resistor is connected to the input terminal of the LED string 4. The second terminal of the current sampling resistor is grounded.
[0027] The LED string 4 includes several LED beads arranged in series and several bypass resistors. The bypass resistors are metal film resistors. The positive terminal of the first LED bead is connected to the second terminal of the total current limiting resistor in the constant current drive module 6. The first terminal of the bypass resistor is connected to the positive terminal of the LED bead, and the second terminal of the bypass resistor is connected to the negative terminal of the LED bead. The negative terminals of all LED beads except the last one are connected to the input terminal of the next LED bead. The negative terminal of the last LED bead is grounded.
[0028] When this utility model is in operation, the light string protection circuit automatically conducts through the parallel bypass resistor to form a current bypass channel when any LED bead is open, so that the current output by the constant current drive continues to flow through the other normal LED beads along the original path. This allows the light emitted by the LED string 4 to be focused in conjunction with the light guide slope, so as to provide focused lighting for the user.
[0029] When the string light protection circuit is working, the power conversion module 5 converts the external AC input into a stable DC voltage output. Its positive terminal is connected to the PT4115 constant current driver chip, and its negative terminal is grounded.
[0030] In constant current drive module 6, the PT4115 constant current drive chip controls the current path through the high-frequency switching of the internal switching transistor. When the power switch is turned on, the current is stored in the power inductor and flows to the total current limiting resistor.
[0031] When the power switch is turned off, the power inductor releases energy and forms a freewheeling circuit through the freewheeling diode.
[0032] The current sampling resistor detects the load current. Its first end is connected to the current sampling terminal of the PT4115 constant current driver chip, and its second end is grounded. It converts the current signal into voltage feedback, which enables the PT4115 constant current driver chip to dynamically adjust the switching duty cycle and finally lock the output current within a certain range. The constant current output is buffered by the total current limiting resistor and then sent to the positive input terminal of the first LED bead in the LED string 4.
[0033] In LED string 4, multiple LED beads form the main lighting link. The positive terminal of each LED bead is directly connected to the output terminal of the preamp. Each LED bead is independently connected in parallel with a bypass resistor. The first end of the bypass resistor is soldered to the positive terminal of the bypass resistor at the same node, and the second end is soldered to the negative terminal of the bypass resistor at the same node.
[0034] During normal operation, the on-state voltage drop of the LED beads is only 3.0V, which is far below the on-state threshold of the bypass resistor. Therefore, the bypass resistor is in a high-resistance state, and the current flows completely through the LED string 4.
[0035] When any LED bead experiences an open circuit fault, the voltage behavior at the fault point changes drastically. The positive voltage of the LED bead rises rapidly due to the continuous injection of charge from the constant current source. When the voltage between its positive and negative terminals exceeds the action threshold of the bypass resistor, the main current path is forcibly switched.
[0036] During this process, the PT4115 constant current driver chip continuously monitors the current. When it detects a sudden change in load impedance, it immediately increases the output voltage to maintain a constant current.
[0037] At this time, except for the damaged LED beads which do not light up due to open circuit, the other LED beads still maintain voltage drop and rated brightness, while the bypass resistor generates heat dissipation because it bears the full current.
[0038] The fault bypass process is completed in a short time without any brightness fluctuations, avoiding the defect of a single bead being open in a traditional series design, which causes the entire lamp to be dimly lit.
[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
