The first wireless communication circuit 130 is configured to receive a wireless switch signal output by the wireless switch 200;
The code matching control circuit 140 is configured to output a corresponding code matching signal to the main controller 110 according to an operation instruction of a user;
The main controller 110 is configured to output a corresponding LED switch control signal to the multiple-independent-output control interface circuit 150 according to the code matching signal and the wireless switch signal, and is configured to drive a corresponding LED lamp to operate.
In this embodiment, the light fixture control system includes a plurality of LED lamps L1, L2, L3, L4, . . . , Ln, and a plurality of wireless switches S1, S2, S3, . . . , Sn, and the independent output control interface circuit 150 in the control box is provided with a plurality of output channels U1, U2, U3, . . . , Un. In a specific application, if it is desired to implement that a plurality of wireless switches S1, S2, S3, . . . , Sn each independently and correspondingly control LED lamps L1, L2, L3, L4, . . . , Ln, then when the control box is powered on, a channel U1 is selected to enter a code matching state, and after code matching of the wireless switch S1 succeeds, a channel U2 continues to be selected to enter a code matching state, so that code matching of the wireless switch S2 succeeds, and code matching is performed sequentially in the above manner until the wireless switch Sn completes code matching of the channel Un. In this case, the wireless switches S1 and L1, the wireless switches S2 and L2, . . . , the wireless switches Sn and Ln all form a corresponding control relationship, and the corresponding LED lamp is controlled by operating the corresponding wireless switch 200, and the other lamps are not affected. If a combined control is desired, for example, the wireless switch S1 controls the lamp L1, the wireless switch S2 controls the lamps L2 and L3, and the wireless switch S3 controls all the lamps, then when the control box 100 is powered on, the channel U1 is selected to enter a code matching state, and after code matching of the wireless switch S1 succeeds, the channels U2 and U3 continue to be selected to enter a code matching state, therefore code matching of the wireless switch S2 to the channels U2 and U3 is completed, and Finally, the wireless switch S3 is selected to perform code matching on all the channels U1, U2, U3 . . . Un. After the above operations are completed, the wireless switch S1 can independently control the lamp L1, the wireless switch S2 can control the lamps L2 and L3 at the same time, and the wireless switch S3 can control the LED lamps L1, L2, L3, L4, . . . , Ln connected to all channels of the control box.
The code matching of the light fixture can be realized by arranging corresponding keys on the control box 100 or matching a remote controller. For example, the multi-channel independent output control interface circuit 150 is provided with six output ports, which are connected to six LED lamps L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6. six keys A, B, C, D, E and F can be correspondingly arranged on the control box 100, and corresponding indicator lamps are arranged at the positions of the six keys. The six keys A, B, C, D, E and F correspond to code matching control of L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 and L6. Specifically, the key A is pressed, and the indicator lamp corresponding to the key A flashes (or in other indication manner) to indicate that the key A is selected. In this case, the wireless switch S1 is operated to perform code matching to control the first lamp, and when the key B is pressed, the indicating lamp corresponding to the key B flashes (or in other indication manner) to indicate that the key B is selected, in this case, the wireless switch S2 is operated to perform code matching to control the second lamp. Likewise, the keys C, D, E and F are sequentially pressed, so that code matching and corresponding control of the LED lamps L3, L4, L5 and L6 by the wireless switches S3, S4, S5 and S6 can be respectively realized. Alternatively, the keys A and B may be pressed, and then the wireless switch S1 is operated to achieve code matching of channels where the LED lamps L1 and L2 are located, so that the wireless switch S1 can achieve control over the LED lamps L1 and L2, when the keys A, B and C are pressed, then the wireless switch S2 can achieve control over the LED lamps L1, L2 and L3, and the like. Specific setting can be conducted in advance according to the requirements of a user. Of course, it is also possible to set a code matching button here, and control over the LED lamps by the corresponding wireless switch can be achieved according to the number of key pressing times, for example, the LED lamps L1 and L2 are selected by pressing the key twice, then the LED lamps L1 and L2 can be controlled by the wireless switch S1 after code matching is performed by the wireless switch S1, after the key is pressed six times, then the LED lamps L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 and L6 can be simultaneously controlled by the wireless switch S1 after code matching is performed by the wireless switch S1. In other embodiments, code matching and control of the LED lamp can also be achieved by providing a remote controller adapted to the control box 100 and providing corresponding keys on the remote controller, which will not be explained one by one herein.
In practical application, the control box can be arranged in small spaces such as a multi-door cabinet or a wardrobe, and can also be arranged on each layer of bookshelf of a desk. When a user needs to open one cabinet in the multi-door cabinets, the LED lamps corresponding to the cabinets can be controlled to be turned on through the control box. For example, when a first lamp of a first cabinet needs to be turned on, the first lamp can be independently controlled through code matching control of the control box 100. Alternatively, the control box should be arranged on a bookshelf, when a user searches for books on a certain layer of the bookshelf, the wireless sensing switch senses the action or approach of a human body, and the lamp is automatically turned on, making it more convenient for the user to perform browsing and searching. Compared with the conventional control box that can only collectively control the switches of all LED lamps, the control box 100 can control the LED lamps independently or in a combined manner, so that the LED lamps can be configured according to the requirements of a user, thereby improving the user experience, and also avoiding the need to turn on each LED when one cabinet in the multi-door cabinet is opened. Therefore, energy can be saved, and power consumption of the illumination system can be reduced.
It should be noted that, the power supply circuit 120 incorporates an AD-DC conversion circuit configured to convert the input power supply into an operating voltage of 3-5 V for operation of modules such as the main controller 110. The control box 100 in the present application can also realize online use between a plurality of control boxes. Specifically, for example, in an online light fixture control system implemented by three control boxes U1, U2, U3, U1 is mated to LED lamps L1, L2, L3, U2 is mated to LED lamps L4, L5, L6, U3 is mated to LED lamps L7, L8, and L9, and if one wireless switch is desired to control LED lamps L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L7, L8, and L9 at the same time, then only the wireless switch needs to form a code matching relation with the corresponding channels of all lamps connected in the control boxes U1, U2 and U3. Of course, through code matching with the corresponding channels in the control boxes, the other wireless switch may also be configured to simultaneously control the three lamps L1 in U1, L4 in U2, and L7 in U3, and the like. Specific setting can be conducted according to user requirements.
In this embodiment, the main controller 110 may be a single chip microcomputer, and in other embodiments, the main controller 110 may also be implemented by one of an MCU, a DSP, or an FPGA, which is not limited herein.
By arranging the code matching control circuit 140 in the present application, the control box 100 outputs a corresponding code matching signal to the main controller 110, after receiving a code matching instruction of the wireless switch 200. In this way, the main controller 110 outputs a plurality of code matching control instructions when receiving corresponding code matching signals. Therefore, code matching of multiple output channels of the multiple-independent-output control interface circuit 150 by each wireless switch 200 is realized, in turn, a single or combined control of the LED lamps is realized by the control box 100. The present application implements the function of independently controlling LED lamp groups or controlling LED lamp groups in a combined way, and solves the problem that a single control box 100 in a current light fixture control system does not have multiple independent output control interfaces, can only perform the control of LED lamps uniformly at the same time, cannot implement the combined control of LED lamps, cannot adapt to different lighting scenarios, resulting in poor applicability, high cost and high energy consumption.
