Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention refers to different design ideas:
1. by means of object-oriented analysis (OOA, object Oriented Analysis)
2. Object-oriented design (OOD, object Oriented Design)
3. Object-oriented programming (OOP, object Oriented Programming)
Wherein, the liquid crystal display device comprises a liquid crystal display device,
1. object-oriented analysis decomposes systems based on abstract critical problem domains.
2. Object-oriented design is an object-oriented implementation that provides a symbology design system that constructs the system as a "real world" object in a way that closely approximates the terminology of the actual field.
3. Object-oriented programming can be viewed as an idea of including various independent and inter-calling objects in a program, as opposed to conventional ideas: conventional programming claims to treat a program as a collection of functions or directly as a series of instructions issued to a computer. Each object in object-oriented programming should be able to accept data, process data, and communicate data to other objects, so they can all be considered a small "machine," i.e., an object.
The embodiment of the invention provides a software design and implementation scheme of a general virtual control loop by taking an object-oriented OO idea as a starting point. The technical scheme can solve the practical problems of complex single logic control and complex multi-logic control. The invention is characterized in that a model for controlling a logic control unit with the functions of a relay switch control module and a voltage/current output control module is virtually developed, and the model is used for solving the actual problems of multiple complexity, low efficiency utilization rate and weak capacity expansion of a control loop in the current illumination control in a generalized and intelligent manner.
Based on the technical conception of object-oriented programming, the preferred embodiment of the invention provides a dimming output method of a dimming controller. In the embodiment of the invention, each object (a relay, a light adjusting device and the like) in the dimming controller is regarded as an independent main body, and a virtual control loop is set for the main body applied to the function according to different functions. Fig. 1 shows a schematic structure of a virtual control loop module according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, a relay switch virtual unit 110 corresponding to hardware (also referred to as an OnOff module) of a relay and/or a dimming output control unit 120 corresponding to hardware (also referred to as a Level module) of a light adjusting device are included in a virtual control loop module 100. In fig. 1, a relay switch dummy unit 110 is connected to a relay 130, and a dimming output control unit 120 is connected to a light adjusting device 140.
Fig. 2 shows a design concept architecture diagram of a virtual control loop module corresponding to fig. 1, in which the OnOff module corresponds to the relay switch virtual unit of fig. 1, and is connected with an actual OnOff relay. The Level module corresponds to the dimming output control unit in fig. 1 and is connected with the actual Level light adjusting device. The design concept of the virtual control circuit can be more clearly and clearly expressed in fig. 2 relative to the structural schematic diagram of fig. 1. FIG. 3 illustrates a virtual code implementation class diagram of a virtual control loop module corresponding to FIG. 1.
Fig. 4 shows a process flow diagram of a dimming output method of a dimming controller according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is implemented based on the structure of the virtual control loop module provided in fig. 1-3.
The dimming controller comprises at least one relay OnOff for controlling the light source switch and at least one light adjusting device Level for controlling dimming output, and the dimming controller controls the switch of the light source through the relay contained in the dimming controller and adjusts the intensity of the light source through the light adjusting device contained in the dimming controller. Referring to fig. 4, the method at least includes steps S402 to S406:
step S402, a virtual control loop module is set for the dimming controller, wherein the virtual control loop module comprises a relay switch virtual unit corresponding to a relay and/or a dimming output control unit corresponding to a light adjusting device.
Step S404, determining at least one configuration scheme of the dimming controller regarding matching between the relay and the light adjusting device according to the lighting requirement.
Step S406, respectively starting a corresponding virtual control loop module for each configuration scheme in the following manner: specifically, in the virtual control loop module of the configuration scheme, a relay corresponding to the virtual unit of the relay switch is selected, the selected relay is controlled and operated through the virtual unit of the relay switch, and in the virtual control loop module of the configuration scheme, a light adjusting device corresponding to the light adjusting output control unit is selected, and the selected light adjusting device is controlled and operated through the light adjusting output control unit, so that the output of the light source is controlled.
In the embodiment of the invention, the virtual control loop module can be arranged for the dimming controller, the hardware relay and the light regulating device are software, the actual relay is controlled by the relay switch virtual unit in the virtual control loop module, and the actual light regulating device is controlled by the dimming output control unit in the virtual control loop module, so that the matching relation between the relay and the light regulating device in the dimming controller can be flexibly regulated according to the actual lighting requirement, the communication interaction problem caused by using the relay and the light regulating device as independent modules is solved, the problems of low utilization rate and low capacity expansion caused by hard growth binding of the relay and the light regulating device are solved, and the configuration complexity, the use and the understanding difficulty in actual use can be remarkably reduced.
In practical applications, the virtual control loop module may be implemented by a control logic unit component, which itself self-activates command signals according to logic configuration. Specifically, the control logic unit component integrated into the virtual control loop module can passively excite logic signals according to timing logic, scene instructions, sequence instructions and the like. Of course, the virtual control loop module may also receive a control panel call in the network to passively output the control signal. If the control panel is adopted to passively output the control signal, the passive calling mode can be a mechanical switch or a network control mode such as Bluetooth, wifi and the like which can give a command.
In order to implement the dimming output method of the dimming controller provided by the embodiment of the present invention, an independent control main body may be provided, and the related processor mentioned later is the phasing of the control main body, and the specific application is limited by practical situations and will not be described herein.
It should be noted that, the virtual control loop module set in step S402 can control the hardware device in the dimming controller to perform dimming output, and because there is a virtual control loop module, a combination mode of multiple relays and light adjusting devices can be converted according to actual lighting requirements, so that the dimming output efficiency is greatly improved.
Step S404 in fig. 4 indicates that an embodiment of the present invention may determine at least one configuration scheme of the dimming controller with respect to a matching relationship between the relay and the light modulation device according to the lighting requirement. Specifically, the configuration scheme includes at least three kinds:
when the first configuration scheme is that the relay is used alone, starting a virtual control loop module only comprising a relay switch virtual unit for the configuration scheme;
when the second configuration scheme is that the light adjusting device is singly used, a virtual control loop module only comprising a dimming output control unit is started for the configuration scheme;
When the third configuration scheme is that the relay and the light regulating device are used in combination, a virtual control loop module which simultaneously comprises a relay switch virtual unit and a dimming output control unit is started for the configuration scheme.
FIG. 5 illustrates meaning division representation intent of a sub-attribute module configuration representation in a virtual control loop in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 5, configuration 1 corresponds to the first configuration scheme, and has only the switching function of the relay on off, configuration 2 corresponds to the second configuration scheme, and has only the level dimming function, configuration 3 corresponds to the third configuration scheme, and has both the on off switch and the level dimming function, while configuration 4 is another configuration scheme, i.e., an invalid virtual control loop, and does not have any function.
When the dimming controller contains a plurality of relays and/or a plurality of light adjusting devices, a plurality of virtual control loops can be determined by setting a virtual control loop module according to actual lighting requirements, if a plurality of relays are required to work independently, the virtual control loops can be configured to be only relay switch virtual units, if a plurality of relays and the light adjusting devices are required to work in a combined mode, the virtual control loops can be configured to be corresponding to the plurality of relay switch virtual units one by one to the dimming output control units, the actual relays and the light adjusting devices are controlled, and the virtual control loop modules corresponding to the virtual control loops exist independently and do not affect each other.
In order to ensure the reliability of the light source, when the configuration scheme is that the relay and the light adjusting device work in combination, in this embodiment, a binding relationship may be set between the relay switch virtual unit and the dimming output control unit. Preferably, the binding relationship may be as follows:
when the relay switch virtual unit controls the relay to be turned on and off, the corresponding dimming output control unit controls the light regulating device to regulate the power supply intensity to a preset intensity; or alternatively
When the dimming output control unit controls the light adjusting device to adjust the light source to a preset intensity, the corresponding relay switch virtual unit controls the relay to be automatically turned on or turned off.
The binding relation between the relay switch virtual unit and the dimming output control unit can enable the relay and the dimming output control unit connected with the same virtual control loop module to be regarded as the same operation unit, so that the problem that when the lamp is actually used, the frequency flashing phenomenon possibly occurs when the brightness of some lamps is lower than a certain specific value is solved, meanwhile, the risk and complexity of communication interaction between the relay switch virtual unit and the dimming output control unit serving as independent modules are reduced, and the OO development design conception is met.
In addition, as the relay switch virtual unit and the dimming output control unit can be combined for use, the problems of low combination complexity, few combinations and the like caused by one-to-one correspondence of the relay and the light adjusting unit in the prior art are further solved.
When the lighting requirements are adjusted, a new virtual control loop module may be established according to the lighting requirements adjustment. Specifically, the new configuration scheme is reduced compared with the original configuration scheme, so that the virtual control loop module corresponding to the reduced part can be directly released; if the new configuration scheme is increased relative to the original configuration scheme, a new virtual control loop module is added for the newly added part; if the new configuration scheme is scheme-adjusted relative to the original configuration scheme, the connection relation between the existing virtual control loop module and the hardware is changed according to the adjustment scheme.
In addition, when any virtual control loop module finishes the use, the relay switch virtual unit and the dimming output control unit in the virtual control loop module can be disconnected with corresponding hardware respectively for the next configuration.
Example 1
In order to more clearly describe the dimming output method of the dimming controller provided in the above preferred embodiments, the dimming output method of the dimming controller provided in the present invention will be described in one embodiment. In this embodiment, a dimming controller supporting 6 relays and 6 light adjusting devices is selected to be introduced as a dimming output method of the dimming controller. The flow chart of the method is shown in fig. 4, and the virtual control loop module is configured according to the actual lighting requirement, specifically:
Circuits 1-6 are provided with OnOff modules only
Loops 7-12 are configured with only Level modules.
The logic configuration diagram of the virtual control loop module corresponding to the configuration scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention is shown in fig. 6. As clearly shown in FIG. 6, the loops 1-6 only configure the OnOff module to correspond to the actual relay control operation, and do not invoke the Level module, and similarly, the loops 7-12 only configure the Level module to correspond to the actual light adjusting device to control the dimming output, and do not invoke the OnOff module. Therefore, the use of the virtual control loop module can expand the original 6-way configuration scheme to 12 ways, and greatly expands the number of logic loops.
Specifically, the invention solves the defect of hard-living binding of the Onoff module and the Level module, and can obviously reduce the configuration complexity and the use and understanding difficulty in actual use. Such as: dimming controller supporting 6-way OnOff and 6-way Level, if
OnOff_1 module and level_1 module
OnOff_2 module and level_2 module
OnOff_3 module and level_3 module
OnOff_4 module and level_4 module
OnOff_5 module and level_5 module
OnOff_6 module and level_6 module
Binding together greatly limits and wastes the control capabilities of the dimmer controller.
If 3 OnOff modules and 3 Level modules are required for practical use and separate control is required, a typical configuration scheme is:
OnOff_1 module enabled and level_1 module empty
OnOff_2 module enabled and level_2 module empty
OnOff_3 module enabled and level_3 module empty
OnOff_4 module is empty and level_4 module is enabled
OnOff_5 module is empty and level_5 module is enabled
OnOff_6 module is empty and level_6 module is enabled
The logic configuration of the virtual control loop module corresponding to the above configuration scheme is shown in fig. 7, where L represents the on off relay switch module and CH represents the Level dimming output module. Fig. 7 clearly shows a typical design concept, with the OnOff relay switches and Level dimming outputs tied one to one and cured together in one-to-one correspondence. In practical application, when the situation that only 3 Onoff modules and 3 Level modules are needed can be met, other modules are idle, and 50% of waste exists from the design point of view.
By adopting the scheme of the virtual control loop of the invention, only 6 virtual control loops are needed to be virtualized,
wherein the method comprises the steps of
Circuits 1-3 are provided with only OnOff modules
Loops 4-6 are only configured with Level modules
The rest 3 OnOff modules and 3 Level modules can be used independently or cooperatively
Such as
Loop 7 is configured for use by the OnOff_4 module and the level_4 module simultaneously
Loop 9 is configured as an OnOff_6 module and a level_5 module
Loop 10 is configured as a level_6 module
......
The use efficiency and the flexibility of configuration of the system are greatly improved.
The OnOff module and the Level module are simultaneously used as sub-modules of the virtual control loop module and are encapsulated in the module by the built-in logic of the virtual control loop module, so that the barriers and risks when the virtual control loop module and the Level module are independently used as 2 independent modules for communication interaction are reduced, and meanwhile, the virtual control loop module and the Level module can be comprehensively managed by a unified internal management scheduling module, so that ideal cooperative linkage work is achieved. When the virtual control loop module is independently configured as an OnOff module or a Level module, the virtual control loop module can be adaptively converted into the independent OnOff module or the Level module to be independently communicated with the outside, so that the flexibility and the self-adaptability are greatly improved. The design thought of the object-oriented thought is utilized, and the design thought can be integrated and expanded by other modules with the same functions without repeated development and design.
Specifically, starting a corresponding virtual control loop module for each configuration scheme respectively, including: when the configuration scheme is that the relay is used alone, starting a virtual control loop module only comprising a relay switch virtual unit for the configuration scheme;
When the configuration scheme is that the light adjusting device is singly used, starting a virtual control loop module only comprising a dimming output control unit for the configuration scheme;
when the configuration scheme is that the relay and the light regulating device are used in combination, starting a virtual control loop module which simultaneously comprises a relay switch virtual unit and a dimming output control unit for the configuration scheme;
when the dimming controller needs to use the relay in combination with the light-adjusting device, there is a binding relationship between the corresponding relay switch virtual unit and the dimming output control unit in the virtual control loop module, and this embodiment is about the case of separate configuration, and this case about the configuration in the binding relationship will be described in detail in embodiment two.
Further, when the dimming controller includes a plurality of relays and/or a plurality of light adjusting devices, a plurality of configurations may be determined according to the lighting requirements, including a plurality of configurations using any one device alone and a plurality of configurations using both in combination.
Specifically, an independent virtual control loop can be configured for a device used alone, and a virtual control loop which can be used in combination can be configured for other devices used in combination, wherein each virtual control loop is realized by a virtual control loop module, and the virtual control loop modules are mutually independent.
In the example of step S402, when the dimming controller needs to work in combination with 3 light adjusting devices, the 3 relays and the 3 light adjusting devices work independently, then a virtual control loop can be set for a group that works in combination, and a virtual control loop is set for a group that works independently, so that virtual control loop modules of the two virtual control loops are independent from each other in the dimming controller and do not affect each other. The solution of providing a plurality of virtual control loops is more suitable for a dimming controller comprising a plurality of relays and light adjusting devices, and only the configuration of the virtual control loops in one case is given in this embodiment, however, in other cases, the solution of this embodiment is also suitable.
The established virtual control loop module may then be adjusted according to the specific lighting requirements.
Specifically, if the new configuration scheme is reduced relative to the original configuration scheme, the virtual control loop module corresponding to the reduced part is directly released, if the new configuration scheme is increased relative to the original configuration scheme, the new virtual control loop module is added for the newly added part, and if the new configuration scheme is subjected to scheme adjustment relative to the original configuration scheme, the connection relation between the existing virtual control loop module and the hardware device is changed according to the adjustment scheme.
If the modified lighting scheme only needs to work with 5 relays and 5 light adjusting devices, the additional OnOff_6 modules and level_6 modules can be disconnected from the corresponding actual hardware, so as to achieve the dimming output effect of the modified lighting scheme.
If the changed lighting scheme is provided with a plurality of relays and light adjusting devices which work in a combined way, a group of OnOff_7 modules and level_7 modules respectively correspond to the actual relays and the actual light adjusting devices in the existing virtual control loop, so that the dimming output effect of the changed lighting scheme is achieved.
In addition, when any virtual control loop module finishes the use, the relay switch virtual unit and the dimming output control unit in the virtual control loop module can be disconnected with corresponding hardware respectively for the next configuration.
Example two
In order to more clearly understand the dimming output method of the dimming controller provided in the above preferred embodiment, the dimming output method of the dimming controller provided in the present invention will be described in another embodiment. In this embodiment, a dimming controller supporting 6 relays and 6 light adjusting devices is also selected to be introduced as a dimming output method of the dimming controller. The flow chart of the method is shown in fig. 4, and the virtual control loop module is configured according to the actual lighting requirement, specifically:
Loop 2 configures OnOff_2 module and level_2 module
Loop 3 configuration level_3 module
Loop 5 configures OnOff_5 module and level_5 module
Loop 6 configures OnOff_6 module and level_6 module
Loop 7 configuration level_1 module
The logic configuration diagram of the virtual control loop module corresponding to the configuration scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention is shown in fig. 8. Fig. 8 clearly shows that loop 1 configures the onoff_1 module, loop 2 configures the onoff_2 module and the level_2 module, loop 3 configures the level_3 module, loop 4 configures the onoff_4 module and the level_4 module, loop 5 configures the onoff_5 module and the level_5 module, loop 6 configures the onoff_6 module and the level_6 module, loop 7 configures the level_1 module, loop 8 configures the onoff_3 module, the configured OnOff module and the Level module respectively correspond to actual hardware, a relay switch and a dimming output are controlled, and a configuration scheme is freely arranged according to actual conditions, so that the problems of weak capacity expansion capability and low efficiency utilization rate of an original dimming controller are solved.
In step S406, a corresponding virtual control loop module is started for each configuration scheme, and specifically, when the configuration scheme is that the relay and the light adjusting device are used in combination, a binding action relationship exists between the relay switch virtual unit and the dimming output control unit.
Following the example of step S406, for loop 2 in which the onoff_2 module and the level_2 module are simultaneously configured, when the onoff_2 module controls the relay to be turned on or off, the corresponding level_2 module controls its corresponding light adjustment device to adjust the light source intensity to a predetermined intensity. Similarly, when the level_2 module controls its corresponding light-adjusting device to adjust the light source to a predetermined intensity, the OnOff_2 module controls the relay to be automatically turned on or off. The binding relation greatly improves the safety in actual operation, and is very convenient because of automatic control.
Further, when the dimming controller includes a plurality of relays and/or a plurality of light adjusting devices, the virtual control loop module may be configured for an actual virtual control loop according to actual lighting requirements. In particular, an independent virtual control loop may be provided for a group of relays or light-modulating devices used alone, and a corresponding virtual control loop may be provided for a group of other relay and light-modulating devices used in combination, each virtual control loop module being independent of the other.
In the example of step S902, a virtual control loop may be designed for the loops 2, 4, 5, and 6 that work in combination, and a virtual control loop may be designed for the loops 1, 3, 7, and 8 that work independently, where the virtual control loop modules corresponding to the two virtual control loops are independent of each other and do not affect each other.
The established virtual control loop module may then be adjusted according to the actual lighting requirements.
Specifically, if the new configuration scheme is reduced relative to the original configuration scheme, the virtual control loop module corresponding to the reduced part is directly released, if the new configuration scheme is increased relative to the original configuration scheme, the new virtual control loop module is added for the newly added part, and if the new configuration scheme is subjected to scheme adjustment relative to the original configuration scheme, the connection relation between the existing virtual control loop module and hardware is changed according to the adjustment scheme.
If the control action of the actual relay corresponding to the on off_3 module configured by the loop 8 is not needed in the modified lighting scheme, the on off_3 module may be disconnected from the corresponding actual relay, so as to achieve the dimming output effect of the modified lighting scheme.
If the changed lighting scheme is provided with a plurality of relays and light adjusting devices which work in a combined way, a group of OnOff_7 modules and level_7 modules can be added in the existing virtual control loop modules to correspond to the actual relays and light adjusting devices.
If the changed lighting scheme needs to be used by combining one relay with the other light regulating device, the original corresponding OnOff_2 module and the level_2 module can be disconnected in the existing virtual control loop module, the OnOff_2 module and the level_3 module are combined into one path, actual hardware is controlled, and the dimming output effect of the changed lighting scheme is achieved.
When any virtual control loop module finishes the use, the relay switch virtual unit and the dimming output control unit in the virtual control loop module can be disconnected with corresponding hardware respectively for the next configuration.
Example III
The embodiment provides a more free configuration mode, and the embodiment also selects the dimming controller supporting the 6-path relay and the 6-path light adjusting device as the dimming output method of the dimming controller for introduction. The flow chart of the method is shown in fig. 4, and the virtual control loop module is configured according to the actual lighting requirement, specifically:
Loop 2 configures OnOff_2 module and level_5 module
Loop 3 configuration OnOff_3 Module
Loop 5 configures OnOff_5 module and level_1 module
Loop 6 configuration level_2 module
Loop 7 configuration level_3 module
The logic configuration diagram of the virtual control loop module corresponding to the configuration scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention is shown in fig. 9. Fig. 9 explicitly shows: loop 1 configures the OnOff_1 and level_6 modules, loop 2 configures the OnOff_2 and level_5 modules, loop 3 configures the OnOff_3 module, loop 4 configures the OnOff_4 module, loop 5 configures the Off_5 and level_1 modules, loop 6 configures the level_2 module, loop 7 configures the level_3 module, and loop 8 configures the level_4 module. The configured OnOff module and the Level module respectively correspond to actual hardware and control a relay switch and dimming output. For this more flexible configuration, this embodiment is merely an example, and accordingly, many configurations will not be described in detail herein.
Following the example of step S406, for Loop 1, where the OnOff_1 and level_6 modules are configured simultaneously, when the OnOff_1 module controls the relay to open or close, the corresponding level_6 module controls its corresponding light adjustment device to adjust the light source intensity to a predetermined intensity. Similarly, when the level_6 module controls its corresponding light adjusting device to adjust the intensity of the light source to a predetermined intensity, the onoff_1 module controls the relay to be automatically turned on or off. The binding relation greatly improves the safety in actual operation, and is very convenient because of automatic control.
Further, when a plurality of relays and/or a plurality of light adjusting devices are included in the dimming controller, a virtual control loop module may be provided for an actual virtual control loop according to lighting requirements.
In particular, an independent virtual control loop can be provided for a group of the relays or the light-adjusting devices used alone, and a corresponding virtual control loop can be provided for a group of the relays and the light-adjusting devices used in other combinations, and the virtual control loop modules are independent from each other.
In the example of step S402, a virtual control loop may be designed for the combined circuits 1, 2, 5, and a virtual control loop may be designed for the independent circuits 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, where the two virtual control loop modules are independent of each other and do not affect each other.
The established virtual control loop module may then be adjusted according to the actual lighting requirements.
Specifically, if the new configuration scheme is reduced relative to the original configuration scheme, the virtual control loop module corresponding to the reduced part is directly released, if the new configuration scheme is increased relative to the original configuration scheme, the new virtual control loop module is added for the newly added part, and if the new configuration scheme is subjected to scheme adjustment relative to the original configuration scheme, the connection relation between the existing virtual control loop module and hardware is changed according to the adjustment scheme.
If the modified lighting scheme does not need the level_4 module configured by the loop 8 to work, the level_4 module may be disconnected from the actual light-adjusting device, so as to achieve the dimming output effect of the modified lighting scheme.
If the changed lighting scheme is provided with a plurality of relays and light adjusting devices which work in a combined way, a loop 9 can be added in the existing virtual control loop module, wherein the OnOff_7 module and the level_7 module respectively correspond to the actual relays and the light adjusting devices, and the dimming output effect of the changed lighting scheme is achieved.
If the changed lighting scheme needs to recombine one relay with the other light regulating device, the original corresponding OnOff_2 module and the level_5 module can be disconnected in the existing virtual control loop module, the OnOff_2 module and the level_4 module are combined into one path, actual hardware is controlled, and the dimming output effect of the changed lighting scheme is achieved.
When any virtual control loop is used, the virtual control loop can be disconnected with corresponding actual hardware for the next use.
The design also indicates that different multipath controllers such as an 8-path controller, a 12-path controller, a 16-path controller, a 32-path controller and the like are designed in the follow-up development, so that the design realizes three-way, three-way and one-way communication, and has great reference significance.
