Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an illumination system including a light-emitting diode (LED) in which an LED operates at a high voltage. [Prior Art] In recent years, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have become a very attractive option in many lighting applications. One reason is because they are more energy efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs. The energy efficiency of a luminaire is related to the luminosity, which is measured in units of lumens per watt (lm/W). This 纳入 takes into account the different sensitivities of the various wavelengths to the naked eye. Conventional incandescent bulbs typically have a performance of 15 lm/W, which is about 10 times less efficient than current GaN-based LEDs. In addition, LEDs have a very long life (1 〇〇, 〇〇〇 hours compared to 1 000 pm for white thermal illumination) and are very sensitive to changes in drive current, allowing for pulsed operation. Various LEDs are now available for all visible ranges. The LED inherently emits monochromatic light. However, a white LED can be fabricated by using a combination of a phosphor and an ultraviolet LED made of gallium nitride. These, together with other aspects, have led to the industry using LEDs in many different applications, such as cars, traffic signs and general lighting. Since LEDs are made of semiconductor materials, LED-based lighting systems typically require sufficient cooling to ensure proper operation and longevity. -4- 200926883 The design of the cooling system is especially important for high power LEDs that can consume up to 3 watts per LED. The LEDs are typically mounted on a carrier, such as a pcB or metal plate, which is attached to the housing. Due to the limited thermal conductivity of these carrier materials, they are not suitable for high power operation unless the thickness of these plates is kept small. A large illumination system containing a plurality of LEDs, such as a ceiling panel, should preferably be light. The weight of most of such systems depends on the shell Q body. Metals such as aluminum or other metals or metal-containing compounds are cost-effective solutions that meet both heat and weight requirements. The use of a metal housing creates additional requirements for the carrier material. To ensure maximum safety, the conductive housing needs to be electrically grounded. Therefore, the carrier must be able to withstand the electric field existing between the LEDs carried thereon and the conductive housing underneath. Therefore, a carrier material having high thermal conductivity and a high critical electric field should be selected. In a conventional LED system, a carrier material having a thermal conductivity and a critical electric field of 0.25 and 200 V, respectively, is used. Many LED systems operate at relatively low voltages from 10V to 30V. Most of the carrier materials currently in use can withstand these voltages while still providing sufficient cooling. However, one drawback of this approach is related to the voltage transition from the mains network voltage to the low internal voltage. If you can omit this step, you can avoid the power loss caused by this step. In addition, for a specific power output, the low voltage system has more ohmic losses than the high voltage system due to the higher flow current. -5- 200926883 LED-based lighting can also be used for photosynthesis lighting in greenhouses, replacing traditional high-pressure sodium lamps. Although these lamps currently have a high luminous efficacy, their spectral output is not optimal for, for example, the development of plants. LED-based lighting systems offer the advantage of choosing the optimum wavelength. Existing high pressure sodium lighting methods do not allow for efficient cooling. A large number of @infrared radiant heating systems, in contrast to LED-based systems, in which the heat is dissipated in the optically active junction of the semiconductor material of the LED, so the latter is easier Cool it down. The lack of proper cooling methods in conventional greenhouse lighting systems can lead to non-optimal growth conditions. In the greenhouse, both temperature and lighting are factors that need to be controlled. Any heat that is emitted in the system can cause deviations from optimal plant growth conditions. For example, if the ambient temperature outside the greenhouse is close to the optimal growth temperature, such as in summer, traditional photosynthesis illumination cannot be performed, because the direct effect of the direct radiation and the indirect heat generated by the infrared radiation will offset the positive effect of the illumination. In an LED-based system, this heat can be transferred to the cooling system to lengthen the time available for photosynthesis illumination. Therefore, increasing the production capacity of such a greenhouse while reducing the energy cost" SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide an energy efficient LED-based lighting system that can be operated internally under high pressure and A conductive housing is provided. -6- 200926883 Another object of the present invention is to use such a system for photosynthesis illumination for plant development. These objects are achieved by a system and use in accordance with the scope of the appended claims. The preferred embodiment is defined in the subsidiary item. According to a first aspect, the invention provides a lighting system comprising a power supply unit, a carrier and a lighting group comprising a plurality of LEDs mounted on the carrier. The φ power supply has an input connected to the main power network. In this context, the main power network corresponds to an electrical network that exists in most buildings, typically a 230V or 110V network. The output of the power supply provides a rectified voltage. This voltage is preferably a rectified form of the voltage input to the power supply. The carrier comprises a first layer that is substantially electrically isolated and a second layer that is electrically conductive. The second layer or a portion thereof has a well defined electrical potential. In this technique, such a layer is generally referred to as an electrically non-floating layer. The Q lighting group includes a plurality of series connected light emitting diodes (LEDs) connected to a power supply and mounted on a first layer of the carrier. LEDs typically have a forward voltage drop of approximately 1.2V. A group of connected LEDs allows for more efficient use of the available headroom. » LED — The word usually refers to the packaged diode. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that such a lighting group can also include separate diodes connected in series on the same semiconductor material. In order to withstand a high electric field, the first layer has a critical electric field that is substantially greater than the root mean square voltage of the main power supply 200926883 divided by the minimum distance between any of the LEDs and the second layer. Since the lighting system can withstand the voltage of the maximum voltage of the mains network, there is no need to down-convert the voltage, thereby eliminating the losses typically incurred in circuits for this purpose. To further reduce power consumption while still maintaining suitable lighting conditions, the principle of flash fusion can be used. 0 This well-known principle is based on the inability of human or plant organisms to distinguish between stable lighting conditions and rapid alternating lighting conditions or for different situations, as long as the frequency of alternating illumination far exceeds the so-called flash fusion frequency. Different organisms have different frequencies and can even vary between organisms belonging to the same species. Energy savings can be achieved because the amount of heat dissipated in alternating conditions is less than stable. In a preferred embodiment, the system further includes an electronic control unit coupled to the power supply unit. φ This unit modulates the electrical signal to the lighting group, thereby modulating the light output of the lighting group. The frequency of the modulation is substantially greater than the operating frequency of the primary power network or preferably substantially equal to or greater than the flash fusion frequency associated with the particular application. For example, if the system is used for home lighting, the frequency is typically 1 00 Hz or higher, which corresponds to the human flash fusion frequency. In another preferred embodiment, the system further includes a conductive housing. The housing in particular provides cooling and mechanical stability to the system. The carrier preferably contacts the housing directly to ensure maximum heat exchange between the carrier and the housing. -8 ~ 200926883 In yet another embodiment, the power supply unit includes an AC-DC converter to generate a DC voltage at the output of the unit. Preferably, the AC-DC converter comprises a full wave rectifier and then a flat filter to achieve a DC voltage. Additional filters may be included to suppress re-injection into the mains network and improve the power calibration factor. These circuits are well known in the art and will not be described in further detail. φ Since there is no voltage down conversion, the voltage in the system is typically 1.4 times the root mean square voltage of the main power supply network. In a preferred embodiment, the maximum voltage between any of the terminals of the LEDs and the second layer is at least 110V. In order to be compatible with the different voltages encountered in various main power networks, the first layer of the carrier preferably has a suitable critical electric field and thermal conductivity. In another preferred embodiment, the electronic control unit is tuned to the electrical signal of the group of illuminations at a frequency substantially equal to or greater than the flash fusion frequency of the plant under illumination. This embodiment is particularly suitable for use in photosynthesis lighting used in greenhouses. In addition, to adjust the spectral distribution of the emitted light to spectral sensitivity to plants, LEDs with associated wavelengths are used efficiently, ranging in wavelengths from 375 to 500, 475 to 575, and/or 550 to 660 nm. In a preferred embodiment, the first and second layers of the carrier comprise an aluminum layer and an aluminum oxide layer, respectively. Alumina is a very good insulator with high thermal conductivity. The housing is preferably also made of aluminum. To comply with safety regulations, the housing can be electrically grounded -9 - 200926883. It can be connected to the neutral reference point of the mains network, but is preferably connected to ground. While the housing provides sufficient cooling, an additional cooling mechanism coupled to the housing is advantageously employed. An example of such a mechanism is a water cooling system. Such a system is well known and detailed description is omitted. Such systems can carry the heat extracted from the lighting system to different systems where they can be reused or stored. For example, the energy stored in the buffer during the day can be used to heat the greenhouse at night. In a preferred embodiment, LEDs having different wavelengths can be used in the same group. This configuration provides an attractive source of light for different applications, such as home lighting. For applications in the greenhouse, the LEDs in the illumination group can be selected for both the number of LEDs of a given wavelength and the relative power emitted by these LEDs, with their wavelength distribution corresponding to the optimal spectral brightness of the plant. The present invention does not exclude the use of a combination of phosphors in white LEDs to achieve the same goal. To increase the total light output, several lighting groups can be placed in parallel. These groups do not need to have the same wavelength distribution. Conversely, if some of the groups are individually controlled by the electronic control unit, the overall spectral distribution of the system can be controlled. For example, by using different modulation frequencies and/or voltage swings, the system can be operated in the plant's growth program optimal mode or in the flowering program best mode. Similarly, in home lighting, such an application can be used to adjust lighting conditions, such as light intensity or color. It can even be adjusted automatically according to the surrounding environment, such as temperature, volume, or available amount of light. Preferably, all of the led systems are mounted on the same carrier. The electronic control unit and power supply unit do not require LED-like cooling because these components emit a small amount of heat. It is therefore cost effective to manufacture these components on different carriers. Traditional low cost PCBs are available for this purpose. In yet another embodiment, the frequency or amplitude can be externally adjusted. According to this formula, the user can adjust the light intensity of the wavelength distribution without opening the system. The settings corresponding to all or individually for each group or group of groups can be changed within the context of the present invention. There are several ways to change the system settings, including wired, wireless or infrared. Other agencies that achieve the same goal are not excluded. [Embodiment] In Fig. 1, an LED 1 is mounted on an Al2〇3 carrier 2. The LED 〇 is provided with connection pads 3 and 3' for electrically connecting to the A1203 carrier 2. Similarly, the A120 3 carrier 2 is provided with connection pads 4 and 4'. In addition, the LED and the A1203 carrier can be provided with thermal pads 5 and 5, respectively, to provide an electrically connectable thermal connection. An Al2〇3 carrier having an LED is mounted on the aluminum sheet 6. Due to the excellent isolation properties of the Al2〇3 carrier, sufficient electrical isolation between the LED and the aluminum is achieved while providing sufficient thermal conductivity. Therefore, high voltage operation (>230V) can be used to reduce the down conversion of the voltage, thereby eliminating the loss during such conversion. The aluminum sheet 6 can be mounted to the groove 11' in the cooling unit 11.

Figure 2 shows an array of LED arrays mounted on an aluminum cooling unit 11 comprising four sub-arrays 7-7"', each having 12 LEDs connected in series. Each sub-array is fed by a corresponding one of the wires 8-8"'. To make the diagram open, only the connection points of the wires and subarrays are displayed. A common path is provided by the wires 9. Connect the wires to the electrical drive as shown in Figure 4. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the cooling unit 11 of Fig. 2. In the above, the LED Al2 3 carrier 2 mounted on the aluminum sheet 6 is omitted for clarity, and the name sheet 6 can be inserted in the groove in the cooling unit 11. As shown, the heat generated by the LEDs is delivered to the side walls of the cooling unit. The electrical drive 1 is housed in the same housing. Figure 4 shows a portion of an electrical drive. Drive 3 is the mains supply to the electrical network (L = phase, N = zero, E = ground). The bridge rectifier B1 rectifies the voltage from the mains network. The common mode line TR1, plus capacitor C1', is used to isolate any switching transients generated in the electrical driver from the mains. Capacitors C2 and C3 are used to level the puddle voltage, while inductors L1 and L2 are used to compensate for the induced shift of these capacitors. The combination of C2, C3, L1 and L2 increases the power factor. The resulting voltage is fed to inductor L3' which is connected in series to a number of LEDs (LED-1...LED-12). The reciprocating diode D1 is placed in parallel with the series connection such that the corresponding diodes such as LED-1 D1 ' are antiparallel. On the cathode side of LED-12, a series-parallel combination is shown as CON4 connected to the n-channel M〇SFET T1. The resistor is connected in series with T1 and is used to measure the flow during the "on" state of T1: clearing back. Fig. 11,: connecting by circle, cutting, and recombination, R1 by -12-200926883 The current of LED-1 will be described later. The gate of T1 is driven by transistor-driver IC1, such as MLX1 0803 from Melexis or HV 9910 from Supertex. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 4, the MLX 10803 is used, so only the associated pin names of the MLX 10803 are displayed. Next, the operation of the lighting system will be discussed in detail. As a starting condition, assume that T1 is on, such as low ohms. The current will flow through L3, LED-1..LED-12, T1 and R1 to ground. Due to the nature of L3, this current is gradually increased, thereby storing electromagnetic energy in the inductor. The voltage across R1 is used to sense the current flowing through LED-1. This voltage is fed to the Rsense pin of IC1. Once the current exceeds a certain predetermined limit (the voltage applied to the Vref pin can be used to adjust this limit), the transistor driver turns off T1. Therefore, the inductor begins to discharge its magnetic energy with a current flowing through LED-1..LED-12, D1 and back to L3. The maximum current can be adjusted using the external components of IC1 and/or the voltage Φ applied to pin Vref and the time when T1 is placed in the "off" state. In Fig. 4, Zener diode D2, capacitor C4 and resistor R2 provide a 12V supply voltage to IC1. The external components C5 and R3 and C6 and R4, respectively connected to Iref1 and Iref2, can be adjusted to optimize the temperature characteristics of the illumination system. With the components C7 and R5, the oscillation frequency of IC1 can be selected. In addition, diode D3 can be used to discharge the gate of T1. More details can be found in the 1C 1 application note, so I don't think there is a need for more details. In the end, it should be noted that various modifications and changes can be made to the embodiments of the present invention without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. .
