Detailed Description
In order that the above objects, features and advantages of the invention will be readily understood, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to the appended drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. The invention may be embodied in many other forms than described herein and similarly modified by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention, which is therefore not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control circuit, which includes a signal processing unit 100 and a jumper unit 200.
The signal processing unit 100 is configured to receive an input signal, perform inversion and/or level conversion processing on the input signal, and output the input signal.
The jumper unit 200 is connected in parallel with the signal processing circuit and is configured to receive and directly output the input signal.
It will be appreciated that when the input signal does not match the voltage phase required by the load device connected to the rear end of the control circuit, the input signal may be subjected to an inversion process by the signal processing unit 100 and the inverted input signal may be supplied to the load device. When the input signal does not match the voltage value of the voltage required by the load device connected to the rear end of the control circuit, the signal processing unit 100 may perform a level conversion process on the input signal so that the voltage of the input signal after the level conversion process reaches the voltage value required by the load device, and supply the input signal after the level conversion process to the load device. And, when the input signal is not matched with the voltage value and the phase of the voltage required by the load device connected to the rear end of the control circuit, the signal processing unit 100 can perform inversion and level conversion processing on the input signal, and the processed input signal meets the requirement of the load device. And, when the input signal is phase-matched with a voltage required by a load device connected to the rear end of the control circuit, the input signal is received and directly output through the jumper unit 200. Therefore, the control circuit board comprising the control circuit has wider application range, thereby effectively solving the problem that the control circuit needs to be changed due to the use of ballasts with different models; in addition, the control circuit has universality, so that various types of control circuit boards do not need to be purchased, and the difficulty of material management can be reduced. In addition, because the control circuit does not need to be changed, the problems of high cost, adverse design platformization and serialization and the like caused by low compatibility of the control circuit board and the ballast can be solved.
In one embodiment, the signal processing unit 100 includes a first stage inverting processing branch 110 and a second stage inverting processing branch 120 connected in series, and the jumper unit 200 includes a first stage jumper branch 210 and a second stage jumper branch 220 connected in series.
The first-stage inverting processing branch 110 is connected in parallel with the first-stage jumper branch 210, the second-stage inverting processing branch 120 is connected in parallel with the second-stage jumper branch 220, the first-stage inverting processing branch 110 and the first-stage jumper branch 210 are not connected in parallel, and the second-stage inverting processing branch 120 and the second-stage jumper branch 220 are not connected in parallel.
It can be understood that the control circuit includes a first-stage inverting processing branch 110, a second-stage inverting processing branch 120, a first-stage jumper branch 210, and a second-stage jumper branch 220, and the control circuit can be connected to the corresponding inverting processing branch and jumper branch according to actual needs, so as to perform inverting and/or level conversion processing on the input signal. Specifically, when the input signal needs to be subjected to the inversion processing, the inversion processing can be implemented only through the first stage inversion processing branch 110 or the second stage inversion processing branch 120. When only level conversion is needed, the first-stage inversion processing branch 110 can be used for implementing inversion, and then the second-stage inversion processing branch 120 is used for performing inversion and level conversion processing on the inverted input signal again, so that the input signal after two times of processing is suitable for load equipment. If the input signal is suitable for the load equipment, no processing is needed, and the input signal is directly provided for the load equipment through the jumper connection circuit after being received.
In one embodiment, when the control circuit includes the first stage inverting processing branch 110 and the second stage inverting processing branch 120, the control circuit performs level conversion processing on the input signal and outputs the input signal.
When the control circuit includes the first-stage inverting processing branch 110 and the second-stage jumper branch 220, or includes the second-stage inverting processing branch 120 and the first-stage jumper branch 210, the control circuit performs inverting processing on the input signal and outputs the input signal.
When the control circuit includes the first-stage jumper branch 210 and the second-stage jumper branch 220, the input signal is received and directly output through the control circuit.
Referring to fig. 2, before matching the ballast with the control circuit board including the control circuit, it is first determined whether an inversion process is required, if so, the first stage inversion processing branch 110 is connected; otherwise, the first-stage inverting processing branch 110 is canceled and the first-stage jumper branch 210 is accessed. Then, judging whether level conversion and inversion are needed, if so, accessing the second-stage inversion processing branch 120, and canceling the second-stage jumper branch 220; otherwise, the second-stage inverting processing branch 120 is cancelled and the second-stage jumper branch 220 is accessed. After the circuit is welded according to actual needs, the output signal provided by the control circuit can meet the requirements of the ballast. For example, the voltage of the input signal is 3.3V, and the ballast requires a driving voltage of 5V, so that the input signal can be subjected to two inverting processes and one level shift process through the first and second inverting process branches 110 and 120 by switching in the first and second inverting process branches 110 and 120, and the voltage signal of 5V can be output. For another example, if the voltage of the input signal is 3.3V and the ballast is enabled at low level, the input signal may be inverted by connecting the first-stage inverting branch 110 and the second-stage jumper branch 220, or connecting the first-stage jumper branch 210 and the second-stage inverting branch 120, or connecting the first-stage inverting branch 110, and then output to the ballast directly or through the second-stage jumper branch 220. For another example, if the voltage of the input signal is 3.3V, and the ballast needs a driving voltage of 3.3V, that is, no processing is needed on the input signal, the input signal may be used only for driving the ballast, and the input signal may be directly provided to the ballast by connecting the first stage jumper branch 210 and the second stage jumper branch 220.

The second resistor R2 is connected in series between the first power supply and the input end of the first switching tube Q1.
The third resistor R3 is connected in series between the input node P1 and the control end of the first switching tube Q1.
The fourth resistor R4 is connected in series between the input node P1 and ground.
In this embodiment, the input node P1 is an input end of the control circuit, the first power supply is a working voltage VDD of a control circuit board to which the control circuit belongs, the second power supply is an interface voltage VCC of the ballast, and the load device is the ballast. The first resistor R1 and the fourth resistor R4 are upper and lower bias resistors, and determine a default initial level, that is, a static working point of the first switching tube Q1 is formed by the first resistor R1 and the fourth resistor R4, so that the first switching tube Q1 can work in an amplifying region. In other embodiments, Q1 may not be switched in, but the input signal limited by the third resistor R3 is directly provided to the second inverting processing branch 120 through the switched first jumper branch 210. In addition, the fourth resistor R4 is not connected if pull-up is required, and the first resistor R1 is not connected if pull-down is required. When the first switching tube Q1 is connected, an input signal is provided for the first switching tube Q1 after being limited by the third resistor R3; and outputting after the first switching tube Q1 is subjected to reverse phase treatment. If the input signal is at a high level, the first switching tube Q1 is conducted, the input end of the first switching tube Q1 is grounded, and the input signal obtained after the inversion processing of the first switching tube Q1 is at a low level; if the input signal is at a low level, the first switching transistor Q1 is turned off, and the first switching transistor Q1 outputs a high level signal.
In one embodiment, the second stage inverting processing branch 120 includes a second switching tube Q2, a fifth resistor R5, and a sixth resistor R6.

The fifth resistor R5 is connected in series between the input end of the first switching tube Q1 and the control end of the second switching tube Q2.
The sixth resistor R6 is connected in series between the second power supply and the input terminal of the second switching tube Q2.
In this embodiment, when the control end of the second switching tube Q2 is at a high level, the second switching tube Q2 is turned on, the input end of the second switching tube Q2 is grounded, and a low level signal is output to the ballast interface; when the control end of the second switching tube Q2 is at a low level, the second switching tube Q2 is cut off, and a high level voltage VCC is output to the ballast interface.
Specifically, if the input signal needs to be converted from VDD level to VCC level for output, and the phase is unchanged, the whole working loop includes: the output signal is subjected to reverse phase processing through the first switching tube Q1 after being limited by the third resistor R3, the output voltage signal VDD is provided to the control end of the second switching tube Q2 through the fifth resistor R5, the second switching tube Q2 is opened, reverse phase and level conversion processing is performed through the second switching tube Q2, the voltage signal VCC is provided for the ballast interface, and the input signal after the level conversion is obtained so as to meet the requirement of driving the ballast. In this case, the first-stage jumper branch 210 and the second-stage jumper branch 220 are not connected.
If the input signal needs to be inverted and the level is to be converted from VDD to VCC and then output, the whole working loop includes: the input signal is directly connected to the control end of the second switch through the first-stage jumper branch 210 after being limited by the third resistor R3, and then is subjected to inversion and level conversion processing through the second switching tube Q2, so that a voltage signal VCC is provided for a ballast interface, and the input signal after inversion and level conversion is obtained, so that the requirement on driving of the ballast is met. In this case, the first switching tube Q1, the second resistor R2, the fifth resistor R5, and the second-stage jumper branch 220 are not connected.
If the input signal can be output only after the inversion level is performed, the whole working loop comprises: the input signal is connected to the control end of the first switching tube Q1 after being limited by the third resistor R3, is subjected to the reverse phase treatment by the first switching tube Q1, and is provided to the ballast through the fifth resistor R5 and the second-stage jumper branch 220. In this case, the first-stage jumper branch 210, the second switching tube Q2, and the sixth resistor R6 are not connected.
If the input signal is directly provided to the interface without being processed, the whole working loop comprises: the input signal is limited by the third resistor R3 and then directly output to the interface through the first-stage jumper branch 210 and the second-stage jumper branch 220, and the first switching tube Q1, the second switching tube Q2, the second resistor R2, the fifth resistor R5 and the sixth resistor R6 in the control circuit are not connected.
In one embodiment, the first-stage jumper branch 210 includes a seventh resistor connected in series between the control terminal of the first switching tube Q1 and the control terminal of the second switching tube Q2. In this embodiment, the resistance of the seventh resistor may be selected according to actual requirements. In some embodiments, the seventh resistor may be a resistor with a resistance value of 0 ohm, or may be a resistor with a certain resistance value.
In one embodiment, the second-stage jumper branch 220 includes an eighth resistor connected in series between the control terminal of the second switching tube Q2 and the input terminal of the second switching tube Q2. The selection process of the eighth resistor is similar to that of the seventh resistor, and will not be described herein.
In one embodiment, the first switching tube Q1 and the second switching tube Q2 are N-type switching tubes. It can be appreciated that when the first switching tube Q1 and the second switching tube Q2 are both N-type switching tubes, the circuit design is simplified. In other embodiments, the first switching tube Q1 and the second switching tube Q2 are P-type switching tubes; alternatively, the first switching tube Q1 and the second switching tube Q2 are switching tubes of different types, the types of the switching tubes should be selected according to the design of the design circuit, and the embodiment does not limit the types of the switching tubes.
In one embodiment, the first switching transistor Q1 and the second switching transistor Q2 are transistors, or the first switching transistor Q1 and the second switching transistor Q2 are CMOS transistors. It can be appreciated that when the first switching tube Q1 and the second switching tube Q2 are all triodes, or the first switching tube Q1 and the second switching tube Q2 are CMOS tubes, the circuit design is further simplified.
Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a lighting control system, referring to fig. 3, the lighting control system includes a master control circuit 10, a ballast 20, and a control circuit 30 connected in series between the master control circuit 10 and the ballast 20; the control circuit 30 is the control circuit 30 according to any one of the above embodiments, and the control circuit 30 can perform inversion and/or level conversion processing on the input signal.
In this embodiment, by setting the control circuit 30, the connection mode, the initial level, the level voltage and the ballast level enable are all different, and can be adapted and achieve the same effect, so that the control circuit has the characteristics of high applicability, high cooperativity and high stability, can meet the control requirements of most ballasts 20 in the market, and can achieve the same control effect as before replacement by only slightly changing the welding elements of the control circuit 30 after replacing the ballasts 20, thereby effectively solving the problem that the control circuit 30 needs to be changed due to the use of ballasts 20 with different models; in addition, since the control circuit 30 has versatility, the control circuit 30 can realize the matching of the main control circuit 10 and the ballast 20, so that the purchase of various types of main control circuits 10 is not required, and the difficulty of material management can be reduced. In addition, since the control circuit 30 does not need to be changed, the problems of high cost, poor design, and the like due to low compatibility of the main control circuit 10 and the ballast 20 can be solved.
In one embodiment, the lighting control system includes a switch control module, a state feedback control module, and a dimming control module, the main control circuit 10 is connected to the ballast 20 through the switch control module, the state feedback control module, and the dimming control module, respectively, and the switch control module, the state feedback control module, and the dimming control module each include one control circuit 30.
It will be appreciated that the lighting control system includes three sets of circuits: the system comprises a switch control module, a state feedback control module and a dimming control module. The switch control module, the status feedback control module and the dimming control module comprise one of said control circuits 30 for implementing the matching of the master control circuit 10 with the ballast 20.
In one embodiment, the master control circuit 10 includes a single chip microcomputer, a digital signal processing chip or a logic chip. The input signal may be a serial signal, a level switching signal or a driving signal. In this embodiment, the main control circuit 10 is an MCU (Microcontroller Unit, micro control unit) intelligent chip, specifically may be a single chip microcomputer, a digital signal processing chip or a logic chip, etc., and is configured to generate the input signal and provide the input signal to the control circuit 30.
In one embodiment, the input signal in the switch control module is a switch signal generated by the main control circuit 10, and the switch control module further includes a circuit break protection unit 300 and a detection feedback unit 400.
A circuit breaking protection unit 300 is connected in series between the control circuit 30 and the ballast 20 for detecting an operating current of the control circuit 30 and the ballast 20 and disconnecting the control circuit 30 and the ballast 20 when the operating current exceeds a preset threshold.
The detection feedback unit 400 is connected in series between the output end of the circuit breaking protection unit 300 and the main control circuit 10, and is configured to generate an error feedback signal according to the switching signal output by the circuit breaking protection unit 300, and output the error feedback signal to the main control circuit 10.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a circuit diagram of a practical application corresponding to the switch control module, wherein a portion on the right side of a vertical dotted line is a simplified circuit diagram of signal control inside ballast 20. The input signal in the switch control module is a switch signal generated by the master circuit 10. Wherein, the connection modes from the internal control circuit of the ballast 20 to the ballast control interface are two, and the corresponding enabling modes of the two connection modes are completely opposite, as shown in fig. 4; the first connection mode is a low-level enabling connection, and the second connection mode is a high-level enabling connection. Each control circuit inside each ballast can only have one connection mode, and the connection mode is different according to manufacturers, so that a highly universal and widely-adapted signal control circuit is more needed to correspond to the connection mode.
The working principle of the switch control module specifically comprises:
if the switching signal is required to be converted from VDD level to VCC level and output, the switching signal is subjected to reverse phase processing by the first switching tube Q1 after being limited by the third resistor R3, and then is subjected to reverse phase level conversion by the fifth resistor R5 to the second switching tube Q2, so as to obtain a switching signal after forward and level conversion.
If the switching signal needs to be inverted and the level is to be converted from VDD to VCC and then output, the switching signal is directly connected to the second switching tube Q2 through R7 after being limited by the third resistor R3, and then output after being processed by the inversion and level conversion of the second switching tube Q2.
If the switching signal can be output after only the inversion processing, the switching signal is subjected to the inversion processing by the first switching tube Q1 after being limited by the third resistor R3, and then is directly output to the interface through the eighth resistor after passing through the fifth resistor R5.
If the switching signal is directly provided to ballast 20 without being processed, the switching signal is directly output to the interface through the seventh resistor and the eighth resistor after being limited by the third resistor R3, and the first switching tube Q1, the second switching tube Q2, the second resistor R2, the fifth resistor R5 and the sixth resistor R6 in the circuit are not connected.
Further, the detection feedback unit 400 also performs a single action every time the switching signal is operated under the normal operation of the switching circuit at the front end, generates an error feedback signal according to the switching signal output by the control circuit 30, and outputs the error feedback signal to the feedback unit; that is, when the MCU outputs the switching signal level switch once, the error feedback signal is also input with the level switch once under normal conditions, so as to confirm whether the switching circuit works normally.
In addition, by providing the open circuit protection unit 300, the connection between the control circuit 30 and the ballast 20 can be disconnected when the operating current exceeds a preset threshold value, so as to prevent the lighting control system from being burned out due to excessive instantaneous current or overheating of the lamp.
