The LED string lamp and the LED string lamp system according to the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
With reference to
Here, positive electrodes and negative electrodes of the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 are alternately connected in parallel to the at least two cables. The positive electrodes and the negative electrodes of the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 are alternately connected in parallel in a manner as shown in
Here, the controller 120 is configured to control light emission from the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 by means of a direct current or alternating current.
Specifically, when the controller 120 outputs a direct current, for example, DC power of 4.5 V, a high voltage may be output from the first cable 130 and a low voltage may be output from the second cable 140, so that LED lamp beads 110 included in the plurality of LED lamp beads 110, which have positive electrodes electrically connected to the first cable 130 and negative electrodes electrically connected to the second cable 140, may emit light. On the contrary, when the controller 120 outputs a direct current, a high voltage may be output from the second cable 140 and a low voltage may be output from the first cable 130, so that LED lamp beads 110 included in the plurality of LED lamp beads 110, which have positive electrodes electrically connected to the second cable 140 and negative electrodes electrically connected to the first cable 130, may emit light.
Therefore, when the controller 120 outputs a direct current, the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 in the LED string lamp of the present disclosure can emit light in different control modes, whereby the LED string lamp of the present disclosure has increased applicability and is applicable over an extended range with extended application prospects.
With reference to
Therefore, when the controller 120 outputs an alternating current, the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 in the LED string lamp of the present disclosure can be alternately turned on and emit light at a preset frequency, whereby the LED string lamp of the present disclosure has increased applicability and is applicable over an extended range with extended application prospects.
In some embodiments, every two LED lamp beads of the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 are arranged opposite to each other at the same places of the two cables. In other words, every two of the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 form an LED lamp bead group, the two LED lamp beads of the LED lamp bead group are arranged opposite to each other, a first opposite LED lamp bead of each LED lamp bead group has a positive electrode connected to the first cable and a negative electrode connected to the second cable, and a second opposite LED lamp bead of each LED lamp bead group has a positive electrode connected to the second cable and a negative electrode connected to the first cable. In this way, when one LED lamp bead (e.g., the first opposite LED lamp bead) is damaged, other lamp beads (e.g., the second opposite LED lamp bead) can still emit light, whereby the luminous effect of the entire LED string lamp is not affected.
Optionally, when there are two cables, two adjacent LED lamp beads of the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 are arranged on the two cables, in order to allow the LED string lamp to be turned on more regularly. As shown in

the positive electrode of the third LED lamp bead 1103 is connected to the first cable 130, and the negative electrode of the third LED lamp bead 1103 is connected to the second cable 140;
the positive electrode of the fourth LED lamp bead 1104 is connected to the third cable 150, and the negative electrode of the fourth LED lamp bead 1104 is connected to the second cable 140.
During the DC control by the controller 120, when the controller 120 transmits a high voltage to the first cable 130 and transmits a low voltage to the second cable 140, LED lamp beads included in the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 which are connected in the same manner as the third LED lamp bead 1103 may emit light; when the controller 120 transmits a high voltage to the second cable 140 and transmits a low voltage to the third cable 150, LED lamp beads included in the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 which are connected in the same manner as the second LED lamp bead 1102 may emit light; when the controller 120 transmits a high voltage to the second cable 140 and transmits a low voltage to the first cable 130, LED lamp beads included in the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 which are connected in the same manner as the first LED lamp bead 1101 may emit light; and when the controller 120 transmits a high voltage to the third cable 150 and transmits a low voltage to the second cable 140, LED lamp beads included in the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 which are connected in the same manner as the fourth LED lamp bead 1104 may emit light.
During the AC control by the controller 120, when the controller transmits alternating current to the first cable 130 and the second cable 140 and when the controller 120 transmits a high voltage to the first cable 130 and transmits a low voltage to the second cable 140, LED lamp beads included in the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 which are connected in the same manner as the third LED lamp bead 1103 may emit light. Then, when the controller transmits a high voltage to the second cable 140 and transmits a low voltage to the first cable 130, LED lamp beads included in the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 which are connected in the same manner as the first LED lamp bead 1101 may emit light. In this way, the LED lamp beads connected in different manners are enabled to emit light alternately.
During the AC control by the controller 120, when the controller transmits alternating current to the second cable 140 and the third cable 150 and when the controller 120 transmits a high voltage to the second cable 140 and transmits a low voltage to the third cable 150, LED lamp beads included in the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 which are connected in the same manner as the second LED lamp bead 1102 may emit light. Then, when the controller 120 transmits a high voltage to the third cable 150 and transmits a low voltage to the second cable 140, LED lamp beads included in the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 which are connected in the same manner as the fourth LED lamp bead 1104 may emit light. In this way, the LED lamp beads connected in different manners are enabled to emit light alternately.
Here, two fillets are included for each LED lamp bead of the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 in the three-wire four-way configuration, and the two fillets are configured to obtain electrical energy from the three cables, so as to supply power to the LED lamp beads.
Optionally, each LED lamp bead of the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 has a size of (0.6 mm, 0.3 mm), or (0.8 mm, 0.5 mm), or (2.8 mm, 3.5 mm), wherein the value preceding the comma in parentheses denotes a length, and the value following the comma denotes a width. In other words, the LED lamp bead has a length of 0.6 mm and a width of 0.3 mm, or the LED lamp bead has a length of 0.8 mm and a width of 0.5 mm, or the LED lamp bead has a length of 2.8 mm and a width of 3.5 mm.
With reference to
The positive electrode of the first LED lamp bead 1101 is connected to the second cable 140, and the negative electrode of the first LED lamp bead 1101 is connected to the first cable 130;
the positive electrode of the second LED lamp bead 1102 is connected to the second cable 140, and the negative electrode of the second LED lamp bead 1102 is connected to the third cable 150;
the positive electrode of the third LED lamp bead 1103 is connected to the first cable 130, and the negative electrode of the third LED lamp bead 1103 is connected to the second cable 140;
the positive electrode of the fourth LED lamp bead 1104 is connected to the third cable 150, and the negative electrode of the fourth LED lamp bead 1104 is connected to the second cable 140;
the positive electrode of the fifth LED lamp bead 1105 is connected to the first cable 130, and the negative electrode of the fifth LED lamp bead 1105 is connected to the third cable 150;
the positive electrode of the sixth LED lamp bead 1106 is connected to the third cable 150, and the negative electrode of the sixth LED lamp bead 1106 is connected to the first cable 130.
It can be seen that the three-wire six-way configuration is the same as the three-wire four-way configuration in four connection methods and different therefrom in that the positive electrode of the fifth LED lamp bead 1105 is connected to the first cable 130 and the negative electrode of the fifth LED lamp bead 1105 is connected to the third cable 150, and in that the positive electrode of the sixth LED lamp bead 1106 is connected to the third cable 150 and the negative electrode of the sixth LED lamp bead is connected to the first cable 130.
During the DC and AC control by the controller 120, the first to fourth LED lamp beads in the three-wire six-way configuration emit light in the same modes as those in the three-wire four-way configuration and can be specifically understood with reference to the description of the three-wire four-way configuration, and therefore will not be described in detail here.
The fifth and sixth LED lamp beads in the three-wire six-way configuration emit light in different modes from those in the three-wire four-way configuration. The specific light emission mode is as follows. During the DC control by the controller 120, when the controller 120 transmits a high voltage to the first cable 130 and transmits a low voltage to the third cable 150, LED lamp beads included in the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 which are connected in the same manner as the fifth LED lamp bead 1105 may emit light; and when the controller 120 transmits a high voltage to the third cable 150 and transmits a low voltage to the first cable 130, LED lamp beads included in the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 which are connected in the same manner as the sixth LED lamp bead 1106 may emit light.
During the AC control by the controller 120, when the controller 120 transmits alternating current to the first cable 130 and the third cable 150 and when the controller 120 transmits a high voltage to the first cable 130 and transmits a low voltage to the third cable 150, LED lamp beads included in the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 which are connected in the same manner as the fifth LED lamp bead 1105 may emit light. Then, when the controller transmits a high voltage to the third cable 150 and transmits a low voltage to the first cable 130, LED lamp beads included in the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 which are connected in the same manner as the sixth LED lamp bead 1106 may emit light. In this way, the LED lamp beads connected in different manners are enabled to emit light alternately.
Optionally, each LED lamp bead of the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 includes three fillets, and the three fillets obtain electrical energy from the three cables, so as to supply power to the LED lamp beads. The three fillets are connectors for supply of power from the cables to the interior of the LED lamp beads, and electric quantity can be input through each of the fillets.
Optionally, each LED lamp bead of the plurality of LED lamp beads 110 has a size of (5 mm, 2.8 mm). In other words, the LED lamp bead has a length of 5 mm and a width of 2.8 mm.
It can be seen that the LED lamp beads in the three-wire six-way configuration have a larger size than the LED lamp beads in the three-wire four-way configuration, thus the LED string lamp with the three-wire four-way configuration may be selected and used when a smaller LED string lamp is to be made as actually required.
Of course, there may also be four or more cables, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure.
An LED string lamp system according to the present disclosure comprises a remote control terminal and the LED string lamp according to any one of the above embodiments.
The remote control terminal may control the operation of the controller of the LED string lamp based on control by a user, so that a plurality of LED lamp beads are turned on. Here, the remote control terminal may be a remote controller. The remote control terminal may have a selection function. The selection function may be DC control allowing the controller to control the LED lamp beads by a direct current, or may be AC control allowing the controller to control the LED lamp beads by an alternating current.
Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely intended to illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure, but not intended to limit the present disclosure. Although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the technical solutions disclosed in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some or all of the technical features thereof may be replaced with equivalents; and such modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to depart from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
The present disclosure provides an LED string lamp and an LED string lamp system, comprising a plurality of LED lamp beads, at least two cables, and a controller, wherein the controller is connected to the at least two cables, and the plurality of LED lamp beads are connected to the at least two cables, wherein the plurality of LED lamp beads are connected in parallel to the at least two cables with positive electrodes and negative electrodes thereof alternately arranged; and the controller is configured to control light emission from the plurality of LED lamp beads by means of a direct current or alternating current.
