Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel lighting technology, and in particular to a multi-mode intelligent lighting dimming circuit. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of tunnel lighting, real-time control of tunnel light brightness is necessary to achieve energy conservation. Traditional dimming control circuits have the following problems: 1. Limited dimming modes: They only support a limited number of dimming modes, possibly only analog dimming (such as analog dimming with a fixed voltage range, but not necessarily covering both 0-5V and 0-10V simultaneously) or PWM dimming. This results in poor adaptability to different luminaire DIM dimming requirements. When the brightness of a new type of energy-saving luminaire needs to be controlled using PWM 10V mode, if the traditional dimming circuit does not support this mode, it cannot achieve the optimal dimming effect of the luminaire; 2. Inconvenient mode switching: Even if traditional dimming circuits have multiple dimming modes, mode switching may require complex hardware modifications or rewiring. For example, when switching from analog dimming mode to PWM dimming mode, some traditional dimming circuits may require replacing specific chips on the circuit board or resoldering circuit connections. This not only increases the difficulty of operation but may also lead to equipment damage or extended debugging time. 2. Limited signal conversion capabilities and single signal conversion method: Traditional dimming circuits often only perform a single type of signal conversion, either converting analog signals into control signals suitable for the lamps or performing simple processing on PWM signals. This single signal conversion method limits its application in different dimming scenarios. In tunnel lighting scenarios with diverse requirements for dimming accuracy and signal type, traditional dimming circuits cannot meet the needs. 3. Lack of effective anomaly handling mechanism and no output anomaly detection: Most traditional dimming circuits do not have dedicated voltage acquisition and detection circuits at the dimming output end, making it impossible to monitor whether the dimming output voltage is within a reasonable range in real time. When the dimming circuit malfunctions, such as component failure causing abnormal output voltage, traditional dimming circuits cannot detect and take timely measures, which may lead to abnormal lamp brightness and affect traffic safety in tunnels. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-mode intelligent lighting dimming circuit to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A multi-mode intelligent lighting dimming circuit includes a microcontroller and an input isolation circuit. The input isolation circuit is electrically connected to the microcontroller and uses the PWM signal output by the microcontroller as the PWM dimming signal input. The input isolation circuit is also electrically connected to a PWM / analog dimming mode switching circuit. The microcontroller is electrically connected to the PWM / analog dimming mode switching circuit and can send PWM or analog switching signals to it. The PWM / analog dimming mode switching circuit is electrically connected to a parallel PWM dimming circuit and an analog dimming circuit. Both the PWM dimming circuit and the analog dimming circuit include voltage fine-tuning circuits electrically connected to the PWM / analog dimming mode switching circuit. The PWM dimming circuit and the analog dimming circuit together include a 10V / 5V level switching circuit. The microcontroller is electrically connected to the PWM / analog dimming mode switching circuit. The circuit connects to a 10V / 5V level switching circuit and can send a 10V or 5V switching signal to it. The 10V / 5V level switching circuit is electrically connected to two voltage fine-tuning circuits: one providing 10V or 5V to the voltage fine-tuning circuit of the PWM dimming circuit, and the other providing 10V or 5V to the voltage fine-tuning circuit of the analog dimming circuit. The fine-tuning circuit of the PWM dimming circuit is sequentially connected to a voltage follower and an isolation diode. The voltage fine-tuning circuit of the analog dimming circuit is sequentially connected to a low-pass filter, a voltage follower, and an isolation diode. The output terminals of the isolation diodes of the PWM dimming circuit and the analog dimming circuit are combined and then electrically connected to a 1.3x in-phase amplifier circuit. The 1.3x in-phase amplifier circuit is electrically connected to an output circuit, which connects to the dimming lines of multiple lamps through an output interface.

[0005] Furthermore, an abnormal circuit breaking circuit is electrically connected between the output circuit and the output interface, and a voltage sampling circuit is connected to the output terminal of the output circuit. Both the voltage sampling circuit and the abnormal circuit breaking circuit are connected to a microcontroller.

[0006] Furthermore, the abnormal circuit breaker is a relay.

[0007] Furthermore, the output circuit and the abnormal circuit breaking circuit are electrically connected by an ESD protection and clamping circuit.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: The multi-mode intelligent lighting dimming circuit proposed in this utility model has four dimming modes: analog 0-5V, analog 0-10V, PWM 5V, and PWM 10V. It can easily select the level mode according to the DIM dimming requirements of different lamps by sending PWM or analog switching signals to the PWM / analog dimming mode switching circuit and sending 10V or 5V switching signals to the 10V / 5V level switching circuit. Moreover, different modes share a single output circuit and output interface, which greatly improves the versatility and flexibility of the circuit and makes it more adaptable.

[0009] The multi-mode intelligent lighting dimming circuit uses the PWM signal output by the microcontroller as the PWM dimming signal input. With the help of a low-pass filter, it can convert the PWM 0-100% into an analog 0-5V or analog 0-10V signal, realizing the simultaneous output of analog and PWM level signals from a single signal input, meeting the dimming signal requirements of different scenarios.

[0010] Equipped with a comprehensive output anomaly handling circuit, the voltage signal is acquired by the voltage acquisition circuit at the output terminal of the output circuit, and the microcontroller determines whether the voltage is within a reasonable range. When the voltage is abnormal, the microcontroller can control the abnormal circuit to disconnect, thus disconnecting the multi-mode intelligent lighting dimming circuit from the lamps. The lamps then operate at maximum brightness, effectively preventing abnormal brightness adjustment of the lamps due to malfunctions in the multi-mode intelligent lighting dimming circuit, and ensuring driving safety in tunnels.
