Embodiment
The present embodiment is a kind of LED lamp radiator temperature online adaptation control circuit and method.
A.. the theoretical foundation that the present invention proposes
During LED work, because the existence of thermal resistance, the thermometer of PN junction is shown:

In formula, T
jfor PN junction temperature, T
afor ambient temperature,
R
θfor PN junction is to the thermal resistance of environment, P
dfor heat dissipation;
Wherein, PN junction temperature T
jbe approximately radiator temperature; For LED, 3%~5% of input electric power converts light energy output to, and remainder is dissipated in device with form of heat, therefore can be similar to the product representation heat dissipation P with forward voltage drop and input current
d, can not bring very large deviation to experimental study.
For fixing device heat dissipation structure, be connected with electrical equipment, chip is certain to the thermal resistance of environment, like this, in the situation that input power is constant, can be similar to and thinks that the change amount of ambient temperature just equals the change value of tube core PN junction temperature.
The rising of ambient temperature affects major embodiment both ways to LED performance parameter:
First LED two ends forward voltage drop dullness reduces; If selected with the LED diode of light fixture same model as temperature sensor D

By formula (2), (3) can find out: when ambient temperature raises, not only make the heat dissipation ability of LED chip decline, also make its PN junction pressure drop decline, the two all further makes LED lamp thermal environment worsen.The present invention be directed to this demand and put forward, by the adjustment of online adaptive dissipation power, radiator temperature is remained in allowed band.
B.. the specific embodiment of the invention
Consult Fig. 1, the each components and parts effect of the present invention and calculation method of parameters are as follows:
(1) temperature sensor D
1, be and the LED diode of LED light fixture same model, to guarantee the consistency of thermal parameter in wide temperature range.D

Control procedure:
Control circuit of the present invention and method, when ambient temperature rises, due to temperature sensor D
1negative temperature characteristic, make V
fTdecline.But, due to R
1regulating action, V
1fall off rate be restricted to △ V
1/ △ T ≈ δ.
Due to V
1be used for controlling LED light fixture input power, make the heat dissipation amount P of LED chip
dalso by δ, reduce; On the other hand, due to the rising of ambient temperature, the dissipation capabilities of radiator also declines, and fall off rate is △ P
