TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of light-emitting control of lamps, in particular to a lamp controller.
BACKGROUND ART
With a variety of shapes and flashing light, a festival lamp luster has lighting and decoration effects at night, and meanwhile the festival lamp luster is the first choice for people to add festive air during the festival. The above lighting and decoration effects are that a control signal with a duty cycle is sent to an LED lamp through a controller, and the control signal enables the LED lamp to produce various different flashing effects.
An existing LED lamp controller includes a control unit and a switch unit, the switch unit is connected to an output end of the control unit, the control unit is usually a programmable chip, the switch unit forms two sets of switch circuits through four triodes, and a control module can control the two sets of switch circuits to be turned on alternately, thereby realizing alternate flashing of two circuits of lamp luster connected to the output end. The above two sets of switch circuits exist the following problems:
First, two circuits of load can be connected only, usually each circuit of load is a one-circuit lamp luster, therefore the lamp luster quantity connected to the existing switch unit is less, resulting in limited lighting effect produced during working.
Second, when one switch circuit is damaged, the lamp luster connected to this switch circuit cannot work, at this time, the other switch circuit can work only, so the lamp luster effect becomes worse.
Third, for tour triodes in the switch unit, two triodes in opposite side form a set of switch circuit, and this structure results in a complex circuit structure, requiring more wiring and increasing cost. Moreover, in each switch circuit, only one triode is electrically connected to the control module, namely, in each set of switch circuit, only one triode is controlled to be turned on or turned off through the control module, and the state of the previous triode decides whether to turn on or turn off another triode, therefore another triode cannot be controlled independently.
SUMMARY

The present disclosure controls the work time of each LED lamp, and different work time may show different lighting effects. Moreover, this implementation mode is respectively connected to a controller through three wires, at least four circuits of LED lamps are also connected among the three wires, apparently, the showed lighting effect is better than that in the prior art. The controller structure and the circuit structure are simpler in a case that the circuit quantity connecting to the lamp is more than that in the prior art, so that the cost will not be increased.

As shown in FIG. 3, taking the first set of switch circuit as an example, the working process of the first set of switch circuit is described below:

As shown in FIG. 3, since the load connecting parts of three sets of switch circuits may output high level or low level, and control the duty cycle output by each switch circuit, the load lamp 3a may show different flashing modes according to a circuit structure of the load lamp 3a.
As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the lamp 3a in this embodiment includes a first wire 4, a second wire 5, a third wire 6, a first LED lamp 7, a second LED lamp 8, a third LED lamp 9 and a fourth LED lamp 10, the first wire 4 is connected to the load connecting part A of the first set of switch circuit, the second wire 5 is connected to the load connecting part B of the second set of switch circuit, and the third wire 3 is connected to the load connecting part C of the third set of switch circuit.
As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, an anode end of the first LED lamp 7 is connected to the first wire 4, and a cathode end of the first LED lamp 7 is connected to the second wire 5; a cathode end of the second LED lamp 8 is connected to the first wire 4, and an anode end of the second LED lamp 8 is connected to the second wire 5; a cathode end of the third LED lamp 9 is connected to the second wire 5, and an anode end of the third LED lamp 9 is connected to the third wire 6; and an anode end of the fourth LED lamp 10 is connected to the second wire 5, and a cathode end of the fourth LED lamp 10 is connected to the third wire 6.
As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, based on the circuit structure of the above lamp 3a , the working is divided into the following states:
- (1) As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the load connecting part A of the first set of switch circuit outputs high level, the load connecting part B of the second set of switch circuit and the load connecting part C of the third set of switch circuit output low level, so that the first LED lamp 7 works, and the remaining LED lamps are extinguished.
- (2) As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the load connecting part A of the first set of switch circuit outputs low level, the load connecting part B of the second set of switch circuit and the load connecting part C of the third set of switch circuit output high level, so that the second LED lamp 8 works, and the remaining LED lamps are extinguished.
- (3) As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the load connecting part A of the first set of switch circuit and the load connecting part B of the second set of switch circuit output low level, the load connecting part C of the third set of switch circuit outputs high level, so that the third LED lamp 9 works, and the remaining LED lamps are extinguished.
- (4) As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the load connecting part A of the first set of switch circuit and the load connecting part B of the second set of switch circuit output high level, the load connecting part C of the third set of switch circuit outputs low level, so that the fourth LED lamp 10 works, and the remaining LED lamps are extinguished.
As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the above three wires and four circuits of lamps form a three-wire and four-circuit lamp 3a . However, the lamp 3a in this embodiment is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the lamp further includes a fifth LED lamp 11 and a sixth LED lamp 12, wherein an anode end of the fifth LED lamp 11 is connected to the first wire 4, and a cathode end of the fifth LED lamp 11 is connected to the third wire 6; and a cathode end of the sixth LED lamp 12 is connected to the first wire 4, and an anode end of the sixth LED lamp 12 is connected to the third wire 6. The fifth LED lamp 11 and the sixth LED lamp 12 are added based on the three-wire and four-circuit, so as to form a three-wire and six-circuit lamp.
As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, any one of the above ways can control the duty cycle and the work time of each LED lamp, and different work time may show different lighting effects. Moreover, this implementation mode is respectively connected to the controller through three wires, at least four circuits of LED lamps are also connected among the three wires, apparently, the showed lighting effect is better than that in the prior art. The controller structure and the circuit structure are simpler in a case that the circuit quantity connecting to the lamp is more than that in the prior art, so that the cost will not be increased. In addition, the two triodes in each set of switch circuit will be controlled by the microcontroller U2, so as to decide whether the level output by the switch circuit is the high level or the low level. Each triode is independently controlled, so a case that the conduction of one triode is decided by another triode in the prior art is avoided, and the control efficiency of the controller is improved.
As shown in FIG. 3, the position of the lamp controller is hard to find in an environment with low illumination. Therefore, in this embodiment, the preferred way is to further include an indicator LED 2, which is always on after being powered on, so as to indicate the position of the lamp controller. The indicator LED 2 is electrically connected to an output end of the DC power supply 1, namely, the output end V+ of the DC power supply is connected to the indicator LED 2. The indicator LED2 will keep lighting as long as the output end V+ of the DC power supply outputs the working voltage, so as to indicate the specific position of the lamp controller. In this embodiment, a nineteenth current-limiting resistor R19 is connected between the indicator LED2 and the twelfth resistor R12, and the current of the indicator LED2 is reached by reducing the nineteenth current-limiting resistor R19, thereby avoiding the damage on the indicator LED2.
As shown in FIG. 3, since a plurality of lamp flashing modes are built in the microcontroller U2, a switching signal for switching the flashing modes is sent to the microcontroller U2, and the microcontroller U2 outputs different control signals, such as the high level or the low level for controlling each set of switch circuit to be output, or the duty cycle for controlling each set of switch circuit to output the signal, so as to form different flashing modes. Certainly, the work time of the lamp 3a may be controlled through a selected mode, for example, working in an appointed working period, or stopping working in an appointed working period.
As shown in FIG. 3, based on the above description, this embodiment further includes a mode selector which inputs a light flashing mode switching signal or a light timing signal to the control unit 2, and the mode selector is electrically connected to the control unit. The mode selector may be controlled in a wired mode or a wireless mode. When adopting the mode selector with the wired mode, the mode selector is directly welded with the control unit 2; when adopting the mode selector with the wireless mode, a part of this mode selector is directly welded with the control unit 2, and the other part of this mode selector communicates with the control unit 2 in a form of wireless signal transmission.
As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the mode selector adopts a key switch SW or a touch switch (not shown in the figure). The key switch SW or the touch switch is electrically connected to the control unit 2, in this embodiment, one end of the key switch SW is preferentially welded with the pin 8 of the microcontroller U2, and the other end of the key switch SW is grounded.

As shown in FIG. 7, this embodiment further provides a control method for a lamp, including the following steps:
- S1: after being powered on, the control unit 2 outputs a control signal, and the control unit 2 receives a switching signal input by the mode selector; if a memory chip U3 is available in the controller, the memory chip U3 will record the control signal with a light-emitting mode output by the current control unit 2 after power failure of the last working; and after next power-on, the control unit 2 reads the control signal with the light-emitting mode output last time from the memory chip U3, and the control signal with the light-emitting mode is output after power-on. If the memory chip U3 is not available in the controller, the control unit 2 will output a light-emitting mode according to program setting. The mode selector is the key switch SW or the touch switch connected to the control unit 2, and the mode selector may also adopt the wireless signal transmitter.
- S2: if the control unit 2 judges the switching signal input by the mode selector as the light flashing mode switching signal, the control unit 2 outputs the control signal for switching the flashing mode to the switch unit 3, and the control signal for switching the flashing mode controls the sequence to turn on or turn off the switch unit 3.
In S2, the basis that the control unit 2 judges the switching signal input by the mode selector as the light flashing mode switching signal is as follows: the mode selector is pressed once, and the pressing time is less than or equal to first time set by the control unit 2. For example, the single pressing time does not exceed one second. The key switch SW or the touch switch is turned on or turned off by pressing, the preferred way is that the key switch SW or the touch switch is turned on, therefore the single pressing time does not exceed one second, meaning that the time for turning on the key switch SW or the touch switch does not exceed one second when pressing once.
A plurality of selection buttons are arranged on the wireless signal transmitter, the wireless signal transmitter can send out a corresponding coded signal after operating each selection button, the coded signal corresponding to each button is inconsistent, the control unit 2 compares the received coded signals with the coded signal, so as to identify the specific mode corresponding to the coded signals, for example, the flashing mode or timing mode of the lamp 3a.
If the wireless coded signal for switching the flashing mode is output by the wireless signal transmitter, the control unit 2 outputs the control signal for changing the flashing mode of the lamp 3a after receiving and identifying the wireless coded signal for switching the flashing mode sent by the wireless signal transmitter through the wireless signal receiver U4.
- S3: if the control unit 2 judges the switching signal input by the mode selector as the light timing signal, the control unit 2 controls the operation for outputting and timing the control signal according to the input of the mode selector, and when the timing is end, the control unit 2 stops outputting the control signal; and at this time, the lamp is extinguished.
In S3, the basis that the control unit 2 judges the switching signal input by the mode selector as the light timing signal is as follows: the mode selector is pressed for several times in second time set by the control unit 2; for example, the key switch SW or the touch switch is pressed continuously twice within one second, namely, the second time is within one second. Therefore, the control unit 2 acquires two continuous signals for turning on the mode selector within one second, so as to judge that user makes the lamp enter the working mode of timing through the mode selector.
In S3, the basis that the control unit 2 judges the switching signal input by the mode selector as the light timing signal may also be: the time for continuously pressing the model selector is greater than or equal to third time set by the control unit 2, for example, the time for continuously pressing the key switch SW is greater than two seconds, namely, the third time is greater than two seconds.
After entering the timing mode, if the control unit 2 further receives a light flashing mode switching signal, the flashing mode is switched according to the way in S2 under the timing mode.
After entering the timing mode in a case that the mode selector adopts the key switch SW or the touch switch, if the control unit 2 receives the switching signal input by the mode selector again as the light timing signal, the timing is turned off.
If the timing mode is selected in a wireless manner, the control unit 2 receives the code for timing sent by the wireless signal transmitter through the wireless signal receiver U4, for example, the control unit 2 is used for starting timing after acquiring a second code and setting the time of the timing work, for example, the lamp 3a is extinguished after working for six hours. Certainly, a plurality of codes for timing may be sent through the wireless signal transmitter, for example, the wireless signal transmitter may also send a third code for timing, and the third code for timing enables the lamp 3a to be extinguished after working for eight hours. The control unit 2 starts timing after being used for the timing code, and the control unit 2 turns off timing after receiving the code signal for cancelling the timing.
When FIG. 4 or FIG. 5 is connected to any one of FIG. 11a to FIG. 36f, or FIG. 8 to FIG. 10 is any one control unit and switch unit in the FIG. 37a to FIG. 42f, the control of the controller for each lamp is applicable to the above method.
The control method of the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments, for example:
- (a) In S2, the basis that the control unit 2 judges the switching signal input by the mode selector as the light timing signal is as follows: the mode selector is pressed for several times in the second time set by the control unit 2; for example, the key switch SW or the touch switch is pressed continuously twice within one second.
- (b) In S2, the basis that the control unit 2 judges the switching signal input by the mode selector as the light flashing mode switching signal is as follows: the time for continuously pressing the model selector is greater than or equal to the third time set by the control unit 2, for example, the time for continuously pressing the key switch SW is greater than two seconds.
- (c) In S3, the basis that the control unit 2 judges the switching signal input by the mode selector as the light timing signal is as follows: the mode selector is pressed once, and the pressing time is less than or equal to the first time set by the control unit 2. For example, the pressing time does not exceed one second.
The above control method is based on the fact that the controller can respectively switch the light flashing mode switching signal and the light timing signal. Some controllers only need to switch the light timing, the light flashing mode is automatically achieved by the program, so switching is not required. For example, if eight flashing modes are available, the signal is output and circulated in turn according to the eight flashing modes after power-on. For this controller, the present disclosure further configures the following control method:
After power-on, the control unit 2 outputs the control signal which enables the lamp to work, and the control signal has the eight inherent circular flashing modes illustrated above. If the control unit 2 receives the timing switching signal sent by the model selector, the control unit 2 switches the operation for outputting and timing the control signal according to the input of the mode selector, and when the timing is end, the control unit 2 stops outputting the control signal.
The mode selector is the key switch SW or the touch switch connected to the control unit 2, the basis that the control unit 2 judges the timing switching signal sent by the mode selector is as follows: the mode selector is pressed once, and the pressing time is less than or equal to the first time set by the control unit 2, for example, the first time is within one second; or the mode selector is pressed for several times within the second time set by the control unit 2, for example, the key switch SW or the touch switch is continuously pressed twice within one second. Or the time for continuously pressing the model selector is greater than or equal to the third time set by the control unit 2, and the time for continuously pressing the key switch SW is greater than two seconds.
Regardless of the working mode after power-on or the working mode entering the timing, the light brightness or the switch controller may also be switched by operating the key switch SW or the touch switch, for example, the mode selector is pressed once, and the pressing time is less than or equal to the first time set by the control unit 2, for example, the first time is within one second; or the mode selector is pressed for several times within the second time set by the control unit 2, for example, the key switch SW or the touch switch is continuously pressed twice within one second. Or the time for continuously pressing the model selector is greater than or equal to the third time set by the control unit 2, and the time for continuously pressing the key switch SW is greater than two seconds. For another example, the controller is turned on or turned off when the time for continuously pressing the mode selector is greater than or equal to the third time set by the control unit 2.
The operation for the timing mode and the operation for switching the light brightness are achieved by operating the same key switch, but the signal sending mode is different. For example, when switching the brightness by pressing the mode selector once within the first time, the mode selector is pressed for several times within the second time set by the control unit 2, so as to enter or exit the timing mode, namely, the operations of timing, dimming and turning on/off the controller are not overlapped.
Certainly, all the above operations may also adopt two key switches SW or two touch switches, one key switch SW or touch switch is used for switching the light brightness or turning on/off the controller, and the other key switch SW or touch switch is used for entering or exiting the timing.
