Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable the present disclosure to be understood more thoroughly and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.


Examples of the present disclosure provide an assembled lamp. With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A, the assembled lamp 10 includes at least two lamps (FIG. 1 shows six lamps, i.e., a lamps 11 to a lamps 16) sequentially connected, wherein each lamp has a plurality of side walls 20, a first conductive terminal 21 is arranged on at least one of the plurality of side walls 20, a row hole 31 corresponding to the first conductive terminal 21 is disposed on other side wall 20, and a second conductive terminal (not shown) is arranged in the row hole 31.


With reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 2B, a power supply bus, a processor 41 and a light source device 42 which are connected with the power supply bus, and a communication bus connected with the processor 41 are also arranged inside the lamp, and both the power supply bus and the communication bus are connected with the first conductive terminal 21 and the second conductive terminal of the lamp, wherein there are two power supply buses, one power supply bus is used as a positive end, the other power supply bus is used as a negative end, in FIG. 2B, one line represents two positive and negative power supply buses, the power supply bus is connected with a power supply terminal in the first conductive terminal 21, and each terminal in the first conductive terminal 21 will be illustrated in detail hereafter, wherein the processor 41 may be a single chip microcomputer and also may be a circuit set up by a digital analog device, and the circuit has functions of receiving a signal, sending the signal and controlling a load.


In the assembled lamp 10, according to the examples of the present disclosure, two adjacent lamps respectively are a first lamp (e.g., the lamp 11 in FIG. 1) and a second lamp (e.g., the lamp 12 in FIG. 1), wherein the first conductive terminal 21 of the lamp 11 is inserted into the row hole 31 of the lamp 12 and connected with the second conductive terminal in the row hole 31, so that electrical connection and communication connection between two adjacent lamps can be implemented. In addition, in order to increase maintaining strength of connection between the first conductive terminal 21 and the second conductive terminal, magnet members (which are not shown in the drawings) also may be arranged on the first conductive terminal 21 and the second conductive terminal, or the first conductive terminal 21 and the second conductive terminal are set to be magnetic itself, so that after the first conductive terminal 21 of the first lamp is inserted into the row hole 31 of the second lamp with the second conductive terminal, the first conductive terminal 21 and the second conductive terminal absorb through the respective magnet members or absorb mutually because of being magnetic itself, thereby implementing mechanical connection between two adjacent lamps.


The power supply bus of the lamp 11 is used for receiving an external voltage signal, in one aspect, supplies power to the processor 41 and the light source device 42 inside, and in the other aspect, transmits the external voltage signal to the power supply bus of the lamp 12 via the conductive terminal in inserted connection therewith, so that the lamp 12 utilizes the received voltage signal to supply power to the processor 41 and the light source device 42 thereof, wherein the external voltage signal received by the power supply bus may be a voltage signal from an external power supply.


The communication bus of the lamp 11 receives a control signal from an external main controller (which is not shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 2B), the lamp 11 transmits the control signal onto the communication bus of the lamp 12 through the conductive terminal in inserted connection with the lamp 11, and then the lamp 11 and the lamp 12 determines whether to transmit the control signal on the communication buses into the processors 41. In one example of the present disclosure, the external main controller may carry preset address information of any one of the lamps in the control signal, so that the lamp determines whether to adopt the control signal to control the light source device 42 of the lamp in a mode of matching the address information. For example, address information of the lamp 11 is carried in the control signal, so that after the control signal is transmitted onto the communication bus, each lamp matches the address information in the control signal with address information of the lamp itself, finally, only the lamp 11 succeeds in matching, the lamp 11 transmits the control signal into the processor 41 of the lamp 11, and the processor 41 controls a light-emitting state of the light source device 42 inside the lamp by utilizing the control signal.

In addition, the lamp also may have other numbers of side walls 20, such as three or five side walls and the like, and the examples of the present disclosure do not make any limit to it.

The top surface 51 includes a light homogenization plate, light emitted by the light source device 42 (as shown in FIG. 2B) inside the lamp uniformly emerges through the light homogenization plate, and the light homogenization plate may be made of a Polycarbonate (PC) material and also may be made of other materials such as glass and the like. The bottom surface 52 is provided with a plurality of convex ribs 53 for reinforcing the bottom surface 52 of the lamp.

Specifically, when the user touches the light homogenization plate with a hand, the capacitance sensor on the light homogenization plate senses the capacitance of the hand of the user, so that the light source device may be controlled to emit light. Certainly, it also may be set as that when the user touches the light homogenization plate for the first time, the light source device emits light, and when the user touches the light homogenization plate again, the light source device is turned off, i.e., the light source device does not emit light.

After two adjacent lamps are in inserted connection through the first conductive terminal 21 and the row hole 31, the first conductive terminal 21 is connected with a terminal with a corresponding function in the second conductive terminal in the row hole 31, i.e., the positive end terminals and the negative end terminals of the two adjacent lamps, which are connected with the respective power supply buses, are respectively and correspondingly connected, and the terminals connected with the respective communication buses are correspondingly connected.

In one example of the present disclosure, an Input Output (IO) interface is also arranged inside each side wall of the lamp where the conductive terminal is arranged, and the identification terminal is connected with the IO interface on the side wall where the identification terminal is positioned, so that the IO interface may be identified by the identification terminal, and then the address information may be configured to the lamp connected with the IO interface subsequently, and how to configure the address information to the lamp connected with each IO interface will be specifically illustrated hereafter.


In one example of the present disclosure, signal communication between the external main controller and the assembled lamp also may be implemented in a mode of multiplexing a power line (i.e., the power supply bus), i.e., there is no need for the special communication bus to transmit the control signal, but transmission of the control signal is implemented in a mode of superposing the control signal on the power supply bus.


At the moment, the conductive terminal may include two power supply terminals, i.e., one positive end terminal and one negative end terminal, and the positive end terminal and the negative end terminal are respectively and correspondingly connected with the positive end and the negative end of the power supply bus inside the lamp. Certainly, the conductive terminal may include three power supply terminals, i.e., two power supply terminals and one identification terminal, moreover, the power supply bus inside the lamp is connected to the power supply terminals, and other portions in the lamp are not changed.

For example, the preset voltage value is 3.3V, i.e., the voltage reduction module 43 provides the external voltage signal to the processor 41 after stabilizing the external voltage signal to 3.3V. Certainly, the preset voltage value also may be other values, and needs to be determined according to the working voltage of the processor 41. In the practical application, the voltage reduction module 43 may adopt a voltage converter, and the examples of the present disclosure do not make any limit to it.


In this example, the lamp internally further includes a drive module 44, the drive module 44 is respectively connected with the processor 41 and the light source device 42 (for example, a Light-Emitting Diode (LED)) inside the lamp, after receiving the control signal by utilizing the communication bus and processing the control signal, the processor 41 transmits the processed control signal to the drive module 44, and the drive module 44 generates a corresponding drive signal according to the processed control signal and drives the light source device 42 to emit light or be turned off by utilizing the drive signal.

Certainly, according to the examples of the present disclosure, brightness and a color temperature of the lamp also may be controlled by the external main controller through sending the control signal, and for example, the processor 41 inside the lamp may generate a corresponding Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal according to the control signal after receiving the control signal and processing the control signal so as to transmit the PWM signal to the drive module 44, and the drive module 44 generates the corresponding drive signal according to the PWM signal so as to regulate a color and/or the brightness of the light source device 42. The light source device 42 may adopt a Red Green Blue (RGB) chip, and the PWM signal implements regulation on the color of the light source device 42, i.e., implements regulation on the color of the lamp, by regulating respective occupied percentages of red (R), green (G) and blue (B) in the RGB chip. Certainly, the light source device 42 also may adopt a plurality of LEDs with different colors, and regulation on the color of the lamp is implemented by regulating on-off of each color of LED.

Step 1: the main controller identifies a lamp A (i.e., a lamp A) physically connected with the main controller by the identification terminal, sets the lamp A as a central node, and configures coordinate values of the lamp A as (128, 128), i.e., both an x-axis coordinate value and a y-axis coordinate value are 128. Meanwhile, the number of the IO interface of the lamp A, which is connected with the main controller, is set as 0, and the numbers of other IO interfaces respectively are 1, 2 and 3 in a clockwise direction. Moreover, the IO interfaces of other lamps are also numbered according to such rule. Certainly, the IO interfaces also may be numbered according to other rules, but the numbering rule of the IO interfaces of each lamp should be the same. The sequence of the numbers of the IO interfaces also may be used as a sequence of configuring the address information to the lamps.


Step 2: the control module of the main controller detects a connection case of each IO interface on the lamp A by using the identification terminal and determines that the interfaces 1, 2 and 3 are all connected to a next stage of lamps.


Step 3: the main controller respectively configures different coordinate values (i.e., unique address information) to the next stage of lamps B, C and D (i.e., lamps B, C and D) connected with the lamp A according to a preset algorithm strategy on the basis of the coordinate values of the lamp A and coordinate axis directions of the JO interfaces on three interfaces. Therefore, coordinate values of the lamp B are (127, 128), coordinate values of the lamp C are (129, 128), and coordinate values of the lamp D are (128, 129). Moreover, the main controller respectively sets numbers as shown in FIG. 5 for each IO interface of the lamps B, C and D.


Step 4: the control module of the main controller moves a current detection node to a next node, i.e., the lamp B, detects a connection case of each IO interface on the lamp B by the identification terminal on the lamp B, and in the example, determines that the No. 1 IO interface of the lamp B is connected with a lamp E. Further, similarly, on the basis of the coordinate values of the lamp B and coordinate axis directions of the IO interfaces on three interfaces, coordinate values (127, 127) are set for the lamp E in the mode in the above step 3.


Step 5: the main controller moves a current detection node to a next node, i.e., the lamp E, detects a connection case of each IO interface on the lamp E, and does not detect out connection of the next stage of lamp.


Step 6: the main controller moves a current detection node to a next node, i.e., the lamp C, detects a connection case of each IO interface on the lamp C, and does not detect out connection of the next stage of lamp.


Step 7, the main controller moves a current detection node to a next node, i.e., the lamp D, detects a connection case of each IO interface on the lamp D, and does not detect out connection of the next stage of lamp. So far, the main controller completes configuration of the coordinate values to each lamp of the assembled lamp, i.e., completes configuration of the address information to each lamp.


The preset algorithm strategy in the step 3 above may be a strategy as follows.


Specifically, firstly, establishing a coordinate system for the assembled lamp, and according to the established coordinate system, configuring coordinate values of a central node. For example, a rectangular coordinate system is established for the assembled lamp, and in the rectangular coordinate system, the coordinate values configured to the central node are (128, 128).


Then, marking each lamp in the assembled lamp as one node, using the central node as a previous stage of node, acquiring the IO interface of the previous stage of node which is connected with a next stage of node, and determining a coordinate axis direction of the IO interface, wherein each lamp is marked as one node, i.e., each lamp occupies for one coordinate position in the rectangular coordinate system. In this example, the coordinate axis direction means a direction of the IO interface of each lamp on each coordinate axis (for example, an x axis and a y axis) in the coordinate system with respect to the central node.


Then, according to the coordinate axis direction of the IO interface of the previous stage of node, which is connected with the next stage of node, determining a node type and a node direction of the next stage of node, and in connection with the coordinate values of the previous stage of node and the node type and the node direction of the next stage of node connected with the previous stage of node, determining coordinate values of the next stage of node, wherein the node type of the examples of the present disclosure may include three types, i.e., the central node, a common node and a turning node. Moreover, the defining principle of each node type is as follows: the lamp physically connected with the main controller is used as the central node, a node of which a longitudinal coordinate is changed with respect to the central node in the rectangular coordinate system is the turning node, and the rest of nodes are the common nodes. For the node direction, the example defines that by using the central node as a base point, a node spliced leftwards is a x-axis negative direction node, a node spliced rightwards is a x-axis positive direction node, a node spliced downwards is a y-axis negative direction node, and a node spliced upwards is a y-axis positive direction node.


Finally, continuing to use the node of which the coordinate values are determined latest as a previous stage of node, determining a node type and a node direction of a next stage of node connected with the previous stage of node according to the coordinate axis direction of the IO interface of the previous stage of node, which is connected with the next stage of node, and determining coordinate values of the next stage of node in connection with the latest determined coordinate values, until the coordinate values of the nodes corresponding to all the lamps in the assembled lamp are determined.


In one example of the present disclosure, after the main controller completes configuration of the address information to each lamp, a mechanism of host-slave communication protocol may be adopted to control the light-emitting state of the lamp by the main controller, wherein the main controller is used as a host, and the assembled lamp is used as a slave. In each communication process, the host initiates a communication request, and the slave responds to the request of the host. The communication process of the main controller and the lamp will be illustrated below.


Specifically, when the control module of the main controller receives a control instruction which is used for controlling the light-emitting state of the assembled lamp and carries at least one piece of address information, at least one piece of address information carried in the control instruction is parsed, the corresponding control signal is generated according to the control instruction, the address information obtained by parsing is carried in the control signal to be sent onto the communication bus, due to connection between each lamp of the assembled lamp and the communication bus, each lamp may match the address information in the control signal on the communication bus with the address information of the lamp itself, if matching is successful, the lamp receives the corresponding control signal by utilizing the communication bus and transmits the control signal into the processor to control the light-emitting state by the processor, so as to implement control on the light-emitting state of the assembled lamp.


In one example of the present disclosure, if the main controller is provided with a control panel, information for controlling the light-emitting state of the assembled lamp and the address information of the controlled lamp, which are set by the user through the control panel, may be directly received. If the main controller is not provided with the control panel, but has a communication function of establishing communication connection with an external device (not shown), the control instruction from the external device, which is used for controlling the light-emitting state of the assembled lamp and carries the address information, may be received. The examples of the present disclosure do not make any specific limit to a mode that the main controller receives the control instruction, wherein the external device may be a hand-held device, such as a smartphone in which an Application (APP) capable of communicating with the assembled lamp is installed, and also may be a terminal device and the like.


In this example, if the external device adopts the smartphone, and the APP capable of communicating with the assembled lamp is installed in the smartphone, after the main controller completes configuration of the address information (for example, the coordinate values) to each lamp, a schematic image of the assembled lamp also may be formed on an interface of the APP according to a position of each lamp, and the coordinate values of each lamp are labeled on the image, so as to facilitate visually selecting the lamp which needs to be controlled by the user through a display interface of the smartphone.


In one example of the present disclosure, if a new lamp is added in the assembled lamp, or the lamp is removed from the assembled lamp, the address information of each lamp in the regulated assembled lamp (i.e., the current assembled lamp) is updated according to an address configuration mode of the examples above, and correspondingly, the schematic image of the assembled lamp in the APP interface is updated.
