Detailed ways

The invention provides a remote control dimming device for an energy-saving lamp and a control system thereof. Specific embodiments and practical application cases of the present invention will be described in detail below, so as to fully illustrate the features, spirit and advantages of the present invention.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together. FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an energy-saving lamp including a remote control dimming device according to a specific embodiment of the present invention; Functional block diagram of the control system.

As shown in FIG. 2 , in this specific embodiment, the control system 3 of the present invention includes an energy-saving lamp 1 and a radio frequency remote control device 2 . The energy saving lamp 1 includes a light emitting module 10 and a remote dimming device 10'. The remote dimming device 10' further includes a radio frequency transceiver module 11, a processing module 12 and a power module 13. In this specific embodiment, the light emitting module 10 further includes a light emitting unit 100 and a driving circuit 101 ; and the processing module 12 further includes a memory unit 120 , a processing unit 121 and a conversion circuit 122 .

Further, the processing unit 121 of the processing module 12 is connected to the radio frequency transceiver module 11 and the memory unit 120 respectively; the conversion circuit 122 is connected to the processing unit 121 and the driving circuit 101 of the light emitting module 10 respectively. In addition, the driving circuit 101 of the light emitting module 10 is connected to the conversion circuit 122 and the light emitting unit 100 respectively;

The radio frequency transceiver module 11 can receive the first signal sent by the radio frequency remote control device 2 (for example, through Wimax, Zigbee or other suitable communication protocols). In practice, the first signal may include a target identification code for a target energy-saving lamp. In practical applications, the radio frequency transceiver module 11 may be an RF radio frequency transceiver module, or other suitable radio frequency transceiver modules.

The memory unit 120 of the processing module 12 stores the current identification code and other information about the energy-saving lamp 1 itself, such as, but not limited to, the lighting dimming level set last time. In practical applications, the memory unit 120 may be a flash memory, a memory in a single chip, a memory in a system-on-a-chip (SOC), or other suitable memory units. The processing unit 121 of the processing module 12 receives the first signal from the radio frequency transceiving module 11 , and compares whether the identification code of the object is consistent with the current identification code in the memory unit 120 . If yes, the processing unit 121 generates a second signal according to the first signal.

For example, assuming that there are first energy-saving lamps (current identification code is E001), second energy-saving lamps (current identification code is E002) and third energy-saving lamps (current identification code is E003), when the radio frequency remote control device 2. When the second energy-saving lamp is to be controlled, the first signal sent includes the target identification code E002 of the second energy-saving lamp. At this time, when the first energy-saving lamp or the third energy-saving lamp receives the first signal, they do not generate the second signal because they do not match their own current identification codes E001 and E003. The second signal is generated only when the second energy-saving lamp is used. However, in practical applications, even if the first signal does not match its own current identification codes E001 and E003, the first energy-saving lamp or the third energy-saving lamp can still convert the first signal into a third signal containing the identification code E002, and forward it to the second energy-saving lamp, so that the second energy-saving lamp can generate the aforementioned second signal according to the third signal.

In practical applications, the second signal includes at least one control parameter, such as, but not limited to, an on/off parameter, a brightness parameter, . . . and so on. In addition, the conversion circuit 122 can receive the second signal from the processing unit 121, and use the second signal to control the driving circuit 101 in the lighting 10, so that the driving circuit 101 regulates the power supply module 13 to supply to the lighting according to the control parameters in the second signal. The voltage, current, phase or power of the pulse signal of the unit 100 makes the light emitting unit 100 operate according to the control parameters.

For example, when the on/off parameter in the second signal is “off”, the conversion circuit 122 controls the driving circuit 101 with the second signal, so that the driving circuit 101 regulates the power supply module 13 not to supply power to the light emitting unit 100, and turns off the light emitting unit. Unit 100. For another example, when the brightness parameter in the second signal is "200 lumens", the conversion circuit 122 converts the second signal into signals with different pulse widths and different frequencies, so as to control the driving circuit 101 to regulate the power supply module 13 to supply The voltage and current intensity and phase of the pulse wave signal of the light emitting unit 100 enable the light emitting unit 100 to emit 200 lumens of light.

In practice, when the target identification code matches the current identification code in the memory unit 120 , the processing unit 121 further generates a confirmation signal, and returns the confirmation signal to the radio frequency remote control device 2 through the radio frequency transceiver module 11 . In addition, in practice, when the target identification code matches the current identification code in the memory unit 120 and there is an instruction to call it to forward the signal, the radio frequency transceiver module 11 can forward the first forwarding instruction signal externally after receiving the forwarding instruction signal. signal. In other words, the radio frequency transceiver module 11 can forward the first signal to other remote dimming devices or energy-saving lamps, so that the radio frequency remote control device 2 can control multiple remote dimming devices or energy-saving lamps located in different locations.

The power module 13 can convert AC power to high voltage DC to drive the light emitting unit 100 , and the power module 13 can also convert AC power to low voltage DC for the operation of the radio frequency transceiver module 11 and the processing module 12 . In practical application, the voltage of DC high voltage can be between 300 and 600 volts, for example, 300 volts, 350 volts, 400 volts, 401 volts, 500 volts, 550 volts, 600 volts, but not limited thereto . In addition, in practical applications, the voltage of the DC low voltage can be between 2 and 25 volts, for example, 2 volts, 3 volts, 5 volts, 15 volts, 25 volts, but not limited thereto.

In practical applications, a feedback circuit may also be provided between the light emitting module 10 and the conversion circuit 122 for detecting the minimum brightness control of the light emitting unit when the output high voltage fluctuates. In practical applications, a feedback circuit may also be provided between the processing unit 121 and the conversion circuit 122 for controlling abnormal conditions when there is no light-emitting unit or the light-emitting unit is damaged.

In practical applications, the light-emitting unit 100 can be, but not limited to, such as energy-saving bulbs, energy-saving lamps, PL lamps, PLC lamps, high-intensity discharge (high-intensity discharge, HID) lamps, etc. wait.

The button 201 can be operated by the user to input control commands. The single-chip controller generates the aforementioned first signal according to the input command, and then sends the first signal through the radio frequency transceiver module 202. The memory 203 can store a number of preset control commands and related information. The corresponding first signal allows the single-chip microprocessor 200 (or SOC) to directly read and output the corresponding first signal according to the control command.
