Description

Background Art

[0001] Conventional lighting devices, particularly light-emitting diode (LED) lighting fixtures, are widely used in the fields of indoor lighting and commercial lighting. However, many conventional lighting fixtures are designed to emit only light of a single fixed color temperature, for example, they only provide white light or yellow light and cannot be adjusted according to the usage situation, lacking flexibility in use. Although lighting fixtures with variable color temperature have also been proposed, many of them require a separately provided remote control, dimmer, or smart control system for switching the emission color, which not only increases the manufacturing cost but also increases the complexity and inconvenience of use. In addition, in some lighting fixtures with variable color temperature, the control method is not intuitive, the user's operation is not easy, and the emission color set last time cannot be maintained during re-power-on, further reducing the convenience of use.

[Figure 5] This is a schematic diagram showing an intelligent dimming lamp according to another embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] The embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 5. This description is merely an example of one embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the embodiments of the present invention.

[0012] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, an intelligent dimming lamp 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a lamp body 10, a control circuit 12, and a setting member 13.

[0013] The lamp body 10 has a light-emitting module 11 for providing a light-emitting source.

[0014] The control circuit 12 is located inside the lamp body 10, is electrically connected to the light-emitting module 11, and controls the light-emitting color of the light-emitting module 11.

[0015] The setting member 13 is provided on the lamp body 10 and is electrically connected to the control circuit 12, and selectively switches the light emission mode of the light emission module 11 between a color-changing mode and a fixed color mode.

[0016] In the intelligent dimming lamp 100 according to the present invention, when the setting member 13 is set to the color-changing mode, the control circuit 12 detects the energization and disconnection operations of the switch member S, which is provided outside the lamp body 10 and electrically connected to the control circuit 12, and sequentially switches the light emitted from the light-emitting module 11 to another light-emitting color from a plurality of preset light-emitting colors. Also, when the setting member 13 is set to the fixed-color mode, the control circuit 12 detects the energization and disconnection operations of the switch member S and emits light of the selected preset light-emitting color from the light-emitting module 11. The light-emitting module 11 includes a plurality of light-emitting diode (LED) light sources, which may include light-emitting elements of different color temperatures, such as cool white LEDs, natural white LEDs, and warm white LEDs. By selectively driving these light-emitting elements or adjusting their driving ratio, the light-emitting module 11 can emit light of different preset colors. The control circuit 12 includes a microcontroller unit (MCU), a drive circuit, and a power management unit. The microcontroller unit receives the energization and disconnection signals from the switch member S and performs a determination process. The drive circuit is electrically connected to the light-emitting module 11 to control the lighting state or brightness ratio of each light-emitting element. The power management unit provides a stable power supply. The setting member 13 may be a mechanical switch provided on the light body 10, such as a toggle switch, slide switch, or push switch, and is used by the user to select the light-emitting mode of the light-emitting module 11 as a color-changing mode or a fixed-color mode. It is even more preferable that the preset light-emitting colors are cool white, natural white, and warm white.

[0017] Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the preset light-emitting colors may be blue-white, neutral white, yellow light, or other monochromatic or mixed light within the visible light range, in addition to cool white, natural white, and warm white. Depending on the actual application, it may be set to two or more colors and is not limited to a specific color combination. When the setting member 13 is set to the color-changing mode, if the control circuit 12 detects that the switch member S has been turned off and then energized again within a predetermined time, it is even more preferable that the light emitted from the light-emitting module 11 is sequentially switched to another light-emitting color from a plurality of preset light-emitting colors, and if it detects that the switch member S has been turned off and then energized again after the predetermined time has elapsed, it is even more preferable that the light-emitting module 11 emits light of the same preset light-emitting color as the one emitted last time. In the color-changing mode, the control circuit 12 preferably determines whether to perform a color change or maintain the original set color based on the time interval between the power outage and the restoration of power to the switch member S. Specifically, if it is determined that power has been restored after a short power outage, the color change operation is performed, and the emitted color is changed sequentially. If it is determined that power has been restored after a long power outage, no color change is performed, and the previously set emitted color is maintained. Furthermore, the control circuit 12 may include a storage unit (not shown) for storing the previous emitted color information, thereby restoring the previous setting state when power is restored, improving ease of use and consistency of operation. It is even more preferable that the predetermined time is within 1 second.

[0018] The predetermined time being set to within 1 second takes into account the intuitive reaction time of a typical user's switch operation. Users can switch colors by quickly turning the power on and off, and the original emission color can be maintained even if the power is turned on again after being off for a relatively long period of time. The predetermined time is not limited to 1 second, and can be adjusted within a range of, for example, 0.5 to 2 seconds, depending on the actual needs, in order to achieve a balance between operational sensitivity and judgment accuracy. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in the intelligent dimming lamp of the present invention, it is even more preferable that the lamp body 10 is a panel light. Specifically, in the intelligent dimming lamp 200 shown in Figure 2, the lamp body 10 is a rectangular panel light, and in the intelligent dimming lamp 300 shown in Figure 3, the lamp body 10 is a circular panel light.

[0019] Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. In the intelligent dimmable lamp 400 shown in Figure 4, the lamp body 10 is a light bulb, and in the intelligent dimmable lamp 500 shown in Figure 5, the lamp body 10 is a lamp tube.

[0020] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the lamp body 10 is a panel light, its power consumption is about 15W, the input voltage ranges from AC110V to AC220V, the luminous flux is about 1500 lumens (lm), and the light emission angle is about 120 degrees, providing a uniform and wide-angle lighting effect. These numerical values are for illustration purposes, and the actual specifications can be appropriately changed according to the product design.

[0021] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the lamp body 10 is a light bulb, the input voltage ranges from AC110V to AC240V, the frequency is 50 / 60Hz, the beam angle is about 260 degrees, the rated current ranges from about 0.12A to 0.18A, and the luminous efficiency is 120 lm / W or more, providing high-efficiency and wide-angle lighting. These parameters can also be changed according to the application.

[0022] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the lamp body 10 is a lamp tube, the input voltage ranges from AC110V to AC240V, and the luminous efficiency is 140 lm / W or more, providing a high-brightness and energy-saving lighting effect.

[0023] According to the technical means of the present invention, the intelligent dimmable lamp 100 of the present invention realizes the switching of the emission color by combining the control circuit 12 with the energization and interruption operations of the switch member S, without the need to separately provide a remote control or a dedicated control device, contributing to the reduction of manufacturing costs and the improvement of the convenience of use. In addition, by determining the length of the power-off time of the switch member S, the operation intention of the user is identified, and accurate color switching is realized in the discoloration mode to prevent misjudgment. Furthermore, by having a memory function, the emission color set last time can be maintained when power is restored, improving the continuity and convenience of use.

[0024] The above description is only an explanation of the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Regarding this technology, based on the claims of the present invention and the above description, other changes can be made, but these changes should be within the creative scope of the present invention and be included in the scope of the rights of the present invention.
