Detailed ways

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, but not to limit the present application.

5G network (5G Network) is the fifth generation mobile communication network, and its peak theoretical transmission speed can reach 20Gbps, that is, 2.5GB per second, which is more than 10 times faster than the transmission speed of 4G network.

At present, the miniaturization of 5G base stations has become a foregone conclusion, which determines that the subsequent 5G network layout must be intensive networking.

At present, the large-scale 4G network has low operating frequency and physical characteristics that determine its long transmission distance and low transmission rate, so it is not necessary to deploy indoor micro base stations. The 5G network has a higher transmission rate, but the transmission distance of a single base station is relatively short. Therefore, it needs to be densely deployed indoors to achieve full coverage.

How to penetrate into thousands of households, select the location of base stations, and the cost of intensive deployment and control will be major problems that need to be solved.

Based on this, the present application provides a luminaire and lighting system, wherein a luminaire is not only a smart lamp but also a 5G micro base station, and the location where the lighting needs to be deployed can be exactly the distance range of the 5G micro base station network, so that only building development is required. The 5G micro base station integrated on the lamp can reuse this position, which saves the cost of repeating the planning and deployment of the micro base station for telecom operators, and also ensures that the home or office lighting environment has better lighting good communication quality.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 , which is a first schematic structural diagram of a lamp provided by an embodiment of the present application, the lamp includes: a first 5G module 11 and a power conversion circuit 12 .

The first 5G module 11 can be used to establish a communication connection with the second 5G module of other lamps within the communication range, so that telecommunication operators can directly realize the deployment of 5G micro base stations based on the existing lamp positions, reducing the distribution of selection of telecommunication operators. At the same time, when the normal lighting range of the luminaire is less than or equal to the signal coverage of the first 5G module 11, and the deployment of the luminaire can meet the normal lighting requirements, based on the existing luminaire position The deployment of the realized 5G micro base station can also ensure that the home or office lighting environment has better communication quality.

In the embodiment of the present application, the power conversion circuit 12 can be used to access the power supply voltage and convert the power supply voltage into the communication power supply voltage to supply power to the first 5G module, thereby saving the power supply cost of the 5G micro base station.

Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the first 5G module may be provided on the lighting driver board of the lamp in a pluggable manner, and connected to the power conversion circuit on the lighting driver board, or, It is integrated on the lighting driver board of the lamp, and connected to the power conversion circuit of the lighting driver board, or, connected to the power conversion circuit of the lighting driver board through a USB cable.

For example, when the lamp is a linear lamp, the first 5G module can be connected to the power conversion circuit on the lighting driver board through a USB cable.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, which is an exploded view of a line light, the line light may include a suspender 201, a first 5G module 202, a lampshade shell 203, a USB cable 204, a 220V power supply voltage line 205, a fixed end cap 206, The lighting driving board 207 , the light source board 209 and the lighting lampshade 210 . The lighting driving board 207 is used for driving the light source board 209 to light up.

The first 5G module 202 obtains the communication power supply voltage from the lighting driver board 207 of the linear lamp through the USB cable 204, and no separate external power supply is required.

Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the lamp may be a built-in ceiling lamp for driving, and the first 5G module may be provided on the lighting driving board of the lamp in a pluggable manner, and communicate with the lighting The power conversion circuit on the driver board is connected.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 , which is a schematic structural diagram of driving a built-in ceiling light, the ceiling light may include a ceiling light chassis 31 , a first 5G module 32 , a drive box 33 , a light source module 34 and a lampshade 35 . The lampshade can be made of PC material or glass material. The first 5G module 32 can be installed on the lighting driving board in the driving box 33 in a pluggable manner.

Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the lamp may be a panel light that drives an external device, and the first 5G module may pass through the metal lamp disc of the panel light, and is connected to the panel in a pluggable manner. The power conversion circuit of the lamp is connected.

Specifically, as shown in Figures 4-1 and 4-2, driving an external panel lamp may include a lamp chassis 41, a first 5G module 42, a drive box 43, a light source module 44 and a PC diffuser lampshade 45, a first 5G module The module passes through the metal lamp panel and is connected to the power conversion circuit of the panel lamp drive box 43 in a pluggable manner, and is responsible for receiving and transmitting signals in the lampshade 45 .

Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the light fixture may be a built-in downlight with an external drive.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5-1 and 5-2 , driving an external embedded downlight may include a driving box 51 , a light source module 52 , a first 5G module 53 and a PC diffuser lamp cover 54 . Since the depth of the embedded downlight is relatively deep, the antenna of the first 5G module 53 can be set as a cylindrical helical antenna 55, so that signal transmission can be better performed in the lampshade.

Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the first 5G module may include multiple 5G units, and at least two 5G units in the multiple 5G units have different signal transmission directions.

Specifically, because the antennas on the 5G module are directional, the corresponding transmission signal capabilities in each direction are different. If only a single module is used, there may be communication blind spots. Therefore, a 5G micro base station can include multiple 5G units, and the signal transmission directions of each 5G unit are different, so as to achieve full signal coverage as much as possible.

For example, two 5G units are deployed symmetrically at both ends of the linear light to complement each other's blind spots and enable good communication capabilities in each direction.

Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the lamps can be deployed according to normal lighting requirements, and when the lamps meet the normal lighting requirements, their lighting range is less than or equal to the communication range of the first 5G module, so it can be avoided. The density of lamp deployment is too large to meet the deployment requirements of 5G micro base stations. Based on this, according to the lighting effect, more lights and more base station equipment can be added to ensure the signal quality in the scene.

For example, in a home environment, due to the small number of access terminals, one linear light can meet the 5G network coverage in the home, so it is only necessary to deploy the first 5G module on one linear light. The first 5G module It can communicate directly with the outdoor base station.

For another example, as shown in Figure 6, in an office environment with large space, when more 5G micro base stations need to be deployed, the office internal network can be formed first, and then the micro base station closer to the outdoor macro base station can be relayed to the outdoor. macro base station. This kind of ambient lighting and 5G micro base stations need to be deployed multiple times, and the location where the lighting needs to be deployed can be exactly the spacing range of the 5G micro base station network, so that only the building developer needs to deploy the lighting position of the lamps, and the integrated lights on the lamps The 5G micro base station can reuse this location, saving telecom operators the cost of repeating the planning and deployment of micro base stations, and at the same time ensuring better communication quality in the home or office lighting environment.

Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the first 5G module is further configured to establish a communication connection with the control terminal, receive a lighting control instruction sent by the control terminal, and send the lighting control instruction to the lighting of the lamps. The control module is used to control the working state of the lamps.

The control terminal may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone and a tablet computer.

As shown in Figure 7-1, it is a schematic diagram of the communication structure of the Internet of Things in the prior art. The communication of the Internet of Things needs to be based on protocols such as ZigBee, Z-wave, LoRa, etc. When sending control commands by the lamps 702 in the smart home, protocol conversion is required, and a communication connection with the lamps 702 in the smart home needs to be established through the gateway 703 to realize the command sending, and the system complexity is high.

The first 5G module sends the lighting control instruction to the lighting control module of the lamp 710 to control the working state of the lamp. That is, control terminals such as mobile phones and tablet computers can directly control the working status of lamps through the 5G protocol, and there is no need to use ZigBee, Z-wave, LoRa and other commonly used IoT communication solutions to control lamps, saving gateways and related communication modules cost of.

When the control terminal can control the working states of multiple lamps at the same time, optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the lamps can also send the lighting control instructions to the lighting control module of the target lamps through the first 5G module. The target lamp refers to the lamp corresponding to the lighting control instruction, that is, the lamp that the control terminal wants to control.

Specifically, when the user of the control terminal 711 opens the intelligent control application, the control terminal 711 can establish a communication connection with the first 5G module of the lamp 710 based on the 5G communication protocol, and send a light control signal to the lamp, the first 5G module of the lamp 710 After the module receives the light control signal, the signal strength of the light control signal is sent to the cloud server 714 through the indoor 5G micro base station network 712 and the outdoor macro base station 713.

Turning on and off of the lamps.

That is to say, in addition to controlling the lamps by receiving the lighting control instructions sent by the control terminal through the first 5G module of the lamps, the working status of the lamps can also be detected by the millimeter-wave radar module to detect whether there are moving objects approaching.

For example, when the millimeter-wave radar module detects that a moving object is approaching, the lamp is controlled to be turned on, otherwise, the lamp is controlled to be turned off.

Optionally, according to the requirements of detection distance and detection angle, in some embodiments of the present application, an antenna array of 8+4 elements may be used as the transceiver antenna of the millimeter wave radar module. The sensing direction is a cone-shaped area facing the ground, the detection distance can be within 5 meters, and the area with higher accuracy can be within 3 meters. Objects in a larger area under the luminaire can be detected, and it is also possible to distinguish between moving and stationary objects.

Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the millimeter-wave radar module can also be used to send the above detection result to the cloud server through the first 5G module, so that the cloud server can control the working state of the lamps in the 5G micro base station network. .

For example, after deploying multiple lamps, the millimeter-wave radar module of each lamp sends the detection results to the cloud server, and the cloud server can analyze and predict the detection results and realize the function of turning on and off the lamps in advance.

Specifically, for example, at 0 seconds, the moving object is captured by the millimeter-wave radar module of lamp 1, and after N seconds, it is captured by the millimeter-wave radar module of lamp 2, and the movement can be calculated based on the known deployment distance and interval time of each lamp. The forward speed of the object, and according to the forward speed, it can predict the lamp 3 corresponding to the position where the moving object will reach, and control the lamp 3 to turn on in advance. While saving power, the lighting experience of users is improved.

In addition, the present application also supplies power to the first 5G module and the millimeter-wave radar module by using the power supply of the lamp itself, so it is not necessary to provide a separate power supply scheme, which saves the cost of power supply, because the first 5G module and the millimeter-wave radar module can be integrated in the lamp. Therefore, it is only necessary to increase the hardware module, which reduces the cost of the shell structure, saves space, and is more beautiful.
