Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application claims priority from Chinese Patent Application No. 202310872235.9 filed on Jul. 14, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.


FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of emergency lighting, and in particular to a dimming control circuit compatible with emergency lighting and a method.


BACKGROUND

Emergency lighting is an important safety facility in modern public buildings and industrial buildings, which is closely related to personal safety and building safety. When there is a fire or other disaster in the buildings and the power supply is interrupted, emergency lighting plays an important role in personnel evacuation, fire rescue work, the continuous operation of important production and work or necessary operation and disposal.


At present, the emergency lighting system composed of emergency power supply and lamps is connected to dimming devices such as a wall switch, a timing switch and a human motion sensor. It is hoped that lamp can provide necessary lighting in the period of time with lighting demand according to the needs of people, and keep low brightness or go out at other times, so as to achieve energy saving and compatibility with lamp utilization and emergency.


Under normal mains supply, the addition of above devices can really achieve the desired effect. During active hours of people, the lamp can provide effective lighting. In a case of not requiring the lighting, the lamp can be turned off or half-lit to achieve the effect of saving power resources.


However, when the lamp without mains supply needs to provide emergency lighting, the emergency power supply starts to actively provide power to the lamp and adjust the lamp power to achieve the target emergency power. At this time, it is unknown for the dimming device connected to the lamp (e.g., wall dimming, timing dimming, motion sensing, etc.) that the emergency should take precedence at this time, and thus the dimming device will compete with emergency dimming for the control of the lamp. After a period of competition, the emergency power supply detects abnormal load, and may cut off the power supply to the lamp according to the internal setting of priority protection equipment, making the emergency lighting system unable to operate normally. The biggest duty of a fully functional emergency lighting system should be to provide emergency lighting. In this case, the emergency lighting system loses its most important emergency function.

Meanwhile, an output of the operational amplifier is configured to control a base of a triode Q1 to operate in a linear amplifying area, feedback of the operational amplifier is connected to a collector of a triode Q; a change of a collector voltage is directly fed back to an in-phase input terminal of the operational amplifier when sampled, the larger the triode Q is turned on, the lower a feedback terminal voltage is, thus forming negative feedback. A feedback signal and an input signal are configured to control a base of the transistor Q to change an internal resistance of the transistor Q and change the collector voltage, thus remaining the collector voltage unchanged, so as to achieve a PWM signal with a given duty ratio and to output a 0-10 V signal with a corresponding proportion.

Voltage signals of a first port circuit, a second port circuit and a power adjustment circuit can be detected through a CMS8S6990 chip in emergency and non-emergency modes for corresponding mode determination, so as to control an output of a lighting port circuit. A lamp is only controlled only by D5V at the same time, and an output of D5V only comes from a signal of DV3 or DV1*P at the same time, thus avoiding the problem that the emergency power supply cannot respond to an emergency due to detection error caused by competing for control with the external automatic dimming circuit in emergency mode. Therefore, the emergency power supply and other dimming circuits can share the same lamp to achieve the perfect compatibility between lighting and emergency, and the problem of incompatibility between emergency power supply, lamp and automatic dimming equipment is avoided.
