Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of LED illumination, in particular to an LED module used as a light source of an illumination device.
Background
As a new Light source with high efficiency, a Light Emitting Diode (LED) module has the advantages of long service life, low energy consumption, energy saving, environmental protection, and the like, and is widely used for illumination in the fields of business, industry, and home.
When an LED module is used as a light source of a lighting device, the lifetime of the lighting device depends not only on the light emitting properties of the LED, but also on the stability of the driving circuit components that provide the operating voltage of the LED module. In current applications, the bottleneck in the lifetime of the LED module is still the voltage stability provided by the driver circuit. In order to reduce the influence of the fluctuation of the driving voltage on the service life of the LED module, a new ac rectification circuit needs to be designed based on the existing widely used ac power to provide a stable driving voltage to drive the LED module.
Bridge rectifier circuit adopts semiconductor rectifier diode (or called diode) to connect into simple rectifier circuit, and the wide application is in the steady voltage of various alternating current-direct current conversions is used, through bridge rectifier circuit, becomes Direct Current (DC) with Alternating Current (AC) rectification, can provide comparatively stable voltage for the LED module to promote the life of LED module.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an ac rectifier circuit for driving an LED module in the prior art. Connect the LED module at AC rectifier circuit's direct current output, through this AC rectifier circuit, carry out the rectification to the alternating current, can the direct drive LED module, see figure 1, this AC rectifier circuit is bridge rectifier circuit, includes: an alternating current module (AC), a first diode D1, a second diode D2, a third diode D3, and a fourth diode D4, wherein,
the anode of the first diode D1 is connected to the cathode of the second diode D2, and the cathodes thereof are respectively connected to the cathode of the third diode D3 and the input terminal (V +) of the external LED module;
the anode of the second diode D2 is connected to the anode of the fourth diode D4 and to the output (V-) of the external LED module, respectively;
the anode of the third diode D3 is connected with the cathode of the fourth diode D4;
one end (a1) of the ac module is connected to the anode of the first diode D1, and the other end (a2) is connected to the anode of the second diode D2.
The period of the alternating current includes: a positive half cycle and a negative half cycle, wherein the positive half cycle is a time period that the alternating current goes up from a zero value to a positive peak value and down from the positive peak value to the zero value; a negative half cycle is the period of time that the alternating current goes down from zero to a negative peak value and up from the negative peak value to zero.
In the positive half period of the alternating current, the alternating current output by the alternating current module passes through the first diode D1, the external LED module and the fourth diode D4 to form a current loop to provide working voltage for the external LED module;
in the negative half cycle of the alternating current, the alternating current output by the alternating current module forms another current loop through the third diode D3, the external LED module and the second diode D2 to provide the working voltage for the external LED module.
As can be seen from the above, in the conventional alternating current rectifying circuit for driving the LED module, alternating current is rectified by the diode and then directly drives the LED module to operate, and since the alternating current is periodically fluctuated, the LED module has a certain turn-on voltage, that is, only when the voltage loaded at two ends of the LED module exceeds the turn-on voltage, the LED module is turned on and emits light; if the voltage across the LED module does not exceed the turn-on voltage, the LED module is in a turn-off state, i.e. in a non-emitting state. Therefore, when a current loop is turned, the voltage which can be provided for an external LED module by the conventional alternating current rectification circuit is smaller than a starting voltage, so that the luminous efficiency of the LED module is lower; further, through rectification of a diode in the alternating current rectification circuit, the voltage value output to the LED module fluctuates along with fluctuation of alternating current voltage, the stability of the output voltage is low, the LED module obviously flickers, and the service life of the LED module is shortened.
