Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a low-voltage safety control system, and more particularly to a system for safely controlling an LED light unit or the like at low voltage. [Background technology]
[0002] As people increasingly demand the overall artistry and aesthetics of iconic buildings, architectural designs must integrate elements such as architecture, lighting, and the surrounding environment so that the building can express the commercial value and cultural meaning behind it. New types of energy-saving LED lights are widely used in various architectural decorations due to their advantages such as low power consumption and versatile color changes. However, these outdoor LED lights currently use a 220V mains power supply during operation, which poses safety risks.
[0003] Ohm's law (I = U / R) dictates that the magnitude of the current flowing through the human body is related to the applied voltage and the body's resistance. The human body's resistance is determined by the resistance of the body itself, as well as the resistance of other components such as clothing, shoes, and pants. While the human body's resistance typically reaches 2 kΩ, factors such as moist, sweaty skin, conductive dust particles, increased contact area and pressure with a charged object, and damp or oily clothing, shoes, and socks can all reduce the body's resistance. The magnitude of the current flowing through the human body cannot usually be calculated in advance. Therefore, safe currents are often not used to determine safety conditions, but safe voltages are used for estimation. Under normal circumstances, i.e., in dry environments where the risk of electric shock is higher, the safe voltage is 24 V. In high-risk environments (such as welding and maintenance on metal containers or pipelines), the safe voltage is set at 12 V, which limits the current flowing through the human body to a smaller range and ensures safety.

Specifically, the first relay 3 is a 220V double-pole double-throw relay, the third relay 7 is a 12V double-pole double-throw relay, the second relay 4 is a 220V relay, and the storage battery 6 is a 12V storage battery. The LED light unit 9 includes a plurality of LED lights connected in series or in parallel.
[0016] Referring to Figure 4, the specific wiring method for each component is as follows: The first common connector and the first coil connector of the time controller 1 are commonly connected to the live line of the 220V main power supply, and the second common connector is connected to the live line of the 220V main power supply. The second coil connector of the time controller 1 is connected to the neutral line of the 220V main power supply, and the first normally closed contact connector and the second normally closed contact connector of the time controller 1 are respectively connected to two low-voltage power supplies. The first normally open contact joints of the low-voltage controller 2 and the time controller 1 are respectively connected to the first coil joint and the first normally open contact joint of the first relay 3, and the second normally open contact joint of the time controller 1 is a normally open contact joint. The contact joints are respectively connected to the second coil joint and the second normally open contact joint of the first relay 3, and the two signal output joints of the low-voltage controller 2 are connected to the first relay 3.

One of the normally open contact joints is connected to the other of the second group of normally open contact joints of the second relay 4, and the two power terminals of the storage battery 6 are each connected to the third terminal of the second relay 4. The group of normally closed contact joints is connected to one of the second group of normally closed contact joints of the second relay 4, and the other of the first group of normally closed contact joints of the second relay 4 is connected to the other group of normally closed contact joints. The first coil connector of the third relay 7 is connected to the power connector of the LED lighting controller, and the other of the normally closed contact connectors of the second group of the second relay 4 is connected to the third relay 7.The second coil connectors are each connected to another power connector of the LED light controller 8, and the two control signal input terminals of the LED light controller 8 are each connected to the first normally open contact connector and the second normally open contact connector of the third relay 7, respectively.
[0017] Next, the operating principle of the low voltage safety control system according to the present invention will be described.
[0018] 2 and 5, during the daytime, the two common terminals and coil terminal of the time controller 1 are connected to a power source, and the time controller 1 controls the coil to energize according to a set time. The contacts switch to two normally open contacts, the low-voltage controller 2 loses power, and power is supplied to the two movable contacts of the first relay 3. The two sets of normally open contacts switch, the coil of the second relay 4 is energized, and the two movable contacts of the second relay 4 switch to two sets of normally open contacts. The main power source passes through the time controller 1, the first relay 3, and the second relay 4 in sequence. The second relay 4 supplies power to the charger 5, which then charges the storage battery 6. The LED light controller 8 is powered off and in a non-operating state, and the LED light unit 9 does not operate.
[0019] Referring to Figures 3 and 6, at night, when the time controller 1 presses the set time, the coil loses power and stops operating, switching the two movable contacts of the time controller 1 to two normally closed contacts. When the low-voltage controller 2 is powered on and operating, a control signal is sent, causing the coil of the first relay 3 to lose power and switching the two movable contacts of the first relay 3 to two normally closed contacts. To control the signal, both ends of the coil of the second relay 4 are connected, the voltage becomes low, and the two movable contacts of the second relay 4 switch to two sets of normally closed contacts. The storage battery supplies power to the LED light controller 8 via the second relay 4, and the storage battery 6 also supplies power to the third relay 7, supplying power to both ends of the coil and the two movable contacts of the third relay 7. The control signal from the low-voltage controller 2 is transmitted to the LED light unit 9 via the first relay 3 and the third relay 7, where it is used to adjust the brightness and control the light.
[0020] The LED light unit of this invention charges the storage battery when not in use during the day, and switches to a nighttime operating mode to power the LED light unit using the storage battery. The low 12V power supply voltage poses no safety hazards. Its high safety allows for a power supply distance of over 1 kilometer. There are no voltage drops during use due to the low-voltage, safe power supply, and control is more flexible and diverse.
