Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention is provided in order to better understand the present invention for those skilled in the art with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be expressly noted that in the following description, a detailed description of known functions and designs will be omitted when it may obscure the subject matter of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a color adjusting driver of an LED lamp according to the present invention.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the LED lamp color adjusting driver 2 includes a time division multiplexing control module 201 and a power output module 202.
The time division multiplexing control module 201 has three light source module control signals PMW1, PMW2, and PMW3 output, which correspond to the control of three colors of red, green, and blue, respectively.
The power output module 202 outputs a driving voltage or current to drive the corresponding light source module to emit light when the control signal of the light source module corresponding to a certain color is at a high level. When the light source module control signal PMW1 is at a high level, it outputs a driving voltage or current to drive the red light source module to emit light; when the light source module control signal PMW2 is at a high level, it outputs a driving voltage or current to drive the green light source module to emit light; when the light source module control signal PMW3 is at a high level, it outputs a driving voltage or current to drive the blue light source module to emit light.
The time division multiplexing control module 201 and the power output module 202 are both connected to the power converter 1, and the power converter 1 provides a direct current power supply for the time division multiplexing control module 201 and the power output module 202. In the present embodiment, the power converter 1 includes an AC-DC converter 101 and a plug 102; the plug 102 is a single-phase three-terminal plug, includes a live wire terminal L, a ground terminal E, and a zero line terminal N, and is connected to a power grid through a plug power converter 1 to obtain an ac power supply. The AC-DC converter 101 converts AC power obtained from the power grid into DC power, and supplies the DC power to the time division multiplexing control module 201 and the power output module 202. The structure and principle of the power converter belong to the prior art, and are not described in detail herein.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the time division multiplexing control module shown in fig. 1.
In the embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the time division multiplexing control module 201 includes a micro processing unit (MCU)2011 and a DC-DC converter 2012; the micro-processing unit 2011 has three registers R1-R3 and a communication Interface, and in this embodiment, the communication Interface is a DALI Interface (Digital addressable lighting Interface).
The three registers R1-R3 are respectively used for storing the turn-on time of the red, green and blue light source modules, the communication interface is connected with the color modulation control circuit, receives the turn-on time DATA DATA of the red, green and blue light source modules from the color modulation control circuit, and is used for adjusting and updating the turn-on time of the red, green and blue light source modules stored in the three registers R1-R3 to realize the color adjustment of the LED lamp.
In this embodiment, the power converter 1 only outputs one power Vdd, and since it needs to provide power for the power output module at the same time, and the voltage value of the power Vdd is high, it needs to be stepped down to meet the requirement of the power needed by the micro-processing unit 2011, and the DC-DC converter 2012 steps down the power Vdd and then outputs the power Vdd as the power of the micro-processing unit 2011.
Fig. 3 is a functional block diagram of one embodiment of the power output module shown in fig. 1.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the power output module 202 includes three constant current drivers Q1 to Q3, each of the constant current drivers Q1 to Q3 has a PWM dimming interface, and when a certain light source module control signal is at a high level, the connected constant current driver outputs a driving current and drives the corresponding light source module to emit light. In addition, the constant current driver is a constant current power supply with open circuit protection.
In the control period T, the light source module control signal PWM1 corresponding to the first color, red in this embodiment, is first changed from low level to high level and maintained for the corresponding on-time T1, then, after the light source module control signal PWM1 corresponding to the first color, red, is changed to low level, the light source module control signal PWM2 corresponding to the second color, green in this embodiment, is changed from low level to high level and maintained for the corresponding on-time T2, and finally, after the light source module control signal corresponding to the second color, green, is changed to low level, the light source module control signal PWM3 corresponding to the third color, blue is changed from low level to high level and maintained for the corresponding on-time T3.
As shown in fig. 1, the time division multiplexing control module 201 outputs three non-overlapping high-level light source module control signals PWM 1-PWM 3, and when the light source module control signal PWM1 is at a high level, the constant current driver Q1 outputs a driving current to drive the red light source module to emit light; when the light source module control signal PWM2 is at a high level, the constant current driver Q2 outputs a driving current to drive the green light source module to emit light; when the light source module control signal PWM3 is at a high level, the constant current driver Q3 outputs a driving current to drive the blue light source module to emit light, so that the power output of the power supply is distributed to the red light source module via the constant current driver Q1, the green light source module via the constant current driver Q2, and the blue light source module via the constant current driver Q3 at different time periods within the control period T.
The LED lamp color is adjusted by setting the on-time t 1-t 3 of the red, green and blue light source modules and controlling the high level time of the light source module control signals PWM1, PWM2 and PWM 3.
In this embodiment, the LED lamp is a color-tunable flat lamp with a power rating of 20W, the light source portion is composed of 14 strings of 24 red light source modules each composed of 0.06W single particles, 14 strings of 24 green light source modules each composed of 0.06W single particles, and 14 strings of 24 blue light source modules each composed of 0.06W single particles, and the three color light source modules are connected by independent loops.
Fig. 4 is a functional block diagram of another embodiment of the power output module shown in fig. 1.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the power output module 202 includes a constant current driver 2021 and three switching tubes K1-K3, the constant current driver 202 is a constant current power supply with open circuit protection, the three switching tubes K1-K3 are respectively connected in series with the light source modules D1-D3 of the corresponding colors, and then are all connected to the output end of the constant current driver 2021, three light source module control signals PWM1, PWM2, and PWM3 are respectively connected to the control ends of the switching tubes K1-K3 of the corresponding colors, when a certain light source module control signal is at a high level, the switching tube connected to the certain light source module is turned on, and the output of the constant current driver drives the corresponding light source module to emit light through the switching tube. In this way, compared with the power output module shown in fig. 3, only one constant current driver is needed, so that the cost is greatly reduced.

The on-time T1 corresponds to the high level time of the light source module control signal PWM1, the on-time T2 corresponds to the high level time of the light source module control signal PWM2, the on-time T3 is corresponding to the high level time of the PWM3, wherein T ═ 4ms is the PWM period.
Fig. 5(a) shows a timing chart of the time division multiplexing module in a white and high light state, where T1 is 4/3ms, T2 is 4/3ms, T3 is 4/3ms, and T1+ T2+ T3 is T, the sum of the output powers of the constant current drivers Q1 to Q3 is about 20W, the red light source module, the green light source module, and the blue light source module all operate at 1/3 power, and the power consumption of the light source module for each color is 6.67W.
Fig. 5(b) shows a timing diagram of the time division multiplexing module in a white half-bright state, where T1 is 2/3ms, T2 is 2/3ms, T3 is 2/3ms, and T1+ T2+ T3 is T/2, the sum of the output powers of the constant current drivers Q1 to Q3 is about 10W, the red light source module, the green light source module, and the blue light source module all operate at 1/6 power, and the power consumption of the light source module in each color is 3.33W. In addition, in the control time T, the high levels of the control signals PWM 1-PWM 3 of the light source modules are uniformly spaced, so that the stability of the output power of the power converter 1 can be further maintained.
Fig. 5(c) shows a timing chart of the time division multiplexing module in the purple highlight state, where T1 is 2ms, T2 is 0ms, T3 is 2ms, and T1+ T2+ T3 is T, the sum of the output powers of the constant current drivers Q1 and Q3 is about 20W, the red light source module and the blue light source module both operate at half power, that is, the power consumption is 10W, and the green light source module does not operate.
Fig. 5(d) shows a timing diagram of the time division multiplexing module in the purple half-bright state, where T1 is 1ms, T2 is 0ms, T3 is 1ms, and T1+ T2+ T3 is T/2, the sum of the output powers of the constant current drivers Q1 and Q3 is about 10W, the red light source module and the blue light source module both operate at 1/4 power, that is, the power consumption is 5W, and the green light source module does not operate.

Fig. 5(f) shows a red half-bright time division multiplexing timing chart, where T1 is 2ms, T2 is 0ms, T3 is 0ms, and T1+ T2+ T3 is T/2, the output power of the constant current driver Q1 is about 10W, the red light source module operates at half power, that is, the power consumption is 10W, and the green light source module and the blue light source module do not operate.
Given the example of 6 color adjustments above, other color states can be adjusted by adjusting the high time of the light source module control signals PWM1, PWM2, and PWM3, i.e.: and changing the on-time t1, t2 and t3 to control the light emitting power of the red light source module, the green light source module and the blue light source module, so that the color is mixed into different color states. For a color adjustment, the on-times t1, t2, and t3 are changed while maintaining the brightness, but the sum of t1, t2, and t3 is maintained at a constant value.
Meanwhile, as can be seen from fig. 5, as long as the maximum power of the LED lamp is determined, the maximum power of each light source module is also determined, and the maximum power of the LED lamp is the same, because the maximum brightness during monochromatic light emission should be the same as the maximum brightness during three-color light emission, and no matter the color is adjusted, brightness conversion occurs.
In this embodiment, if the conventional driving method is adopted, the light source module control signals PWM1, PWM2 and PWM3 are all high level, and the power peaks are superimposed, and a 60W power converter is required. With the scheme of the invention, the power of the power converter is one third of that of the traditional scheme. In addition, the situation of power peak value superposition can not occur, and the output power is stable.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the high levels of the light source module control signals PWM 1-PWM 3 are uniformly spaced during the control time T, so as to further maintain the stability of the output power of the power converter 1.
The light source module control signal PWM signal adopts positive logic, takes high level as effective, controls the output of the power output module, and drives the light source modules of three colors to emit light.
