Description

LED drive circuit, control method thereof and LED drive device
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of power electronics, and in particular, to an LED driving circuit, a control method thereof, and an LED driving apparatus.
Background
The LED lamp is more and more applied in the field of illumination, such as being applied to classrooms, shopping malls, office buildings and the like, wherein the LED lamp comprises a fluorescent lamp, and two ends of the fluorescent lamp are respectively connected with commercial power through a zero line and a live wire. When the leakage protection circuit is installed, one end is usually installed firstly, then the other end is installed, if an operator carelessly touches hands or other parts of a body to the electrode at the other end when the one end is installed, a human body and the power grid form a loop to cause electric shock, and the leakage protection circuit is added to solve the problem at present.
A conventional LED driving circuit 100 with leakage protection function includes a leakage protection circuit 101 and a power conversion circuit 102, as shown in fig. 1. The LED driving circuit 100 obtains an ac input voltage from an external power source 110, obtains a dc bus voltage VH after being rectified by a rectifier bridge 120, and converts the dc bus voltage VH to generate a dc output voltage, thereby driving an external load 130, such as an LED lamp. When the leakage protection circuit 101 detects that an electric shock condition is input, it controls the LED driving circuit 100 to be in a turn-off state; when the earth leakage protection circuit 101 detects that there is no electric shock in the input, the LED driving circuit 100 operates normally to turn on the LED lamp.
However, as the requirement for energy saving is higher and higher, the LED driving circuit of the fluorescent lamp with the leakage protection function also needs to be dimmed to adapt to different environments and requirements. Because the LED driving circuit of the fluorescent lamp with the leakage protection function only has two ends for input, namely the input ends of the zero line and the live line, and no other ports are used for dimming.
In addition, although the existing dimming technology can solve the dimming input at two ends of the fluorescent lamp, the existing dimming technology does not have the leakage protection function.
A conventional LED driving circuit 200 with a dimming function includes an LED dimming circuit and a power conversion circuit 202. As shown in fig. 2, the LED dimming circuit includes a bypass circuit 203, a zero-crossing detection circuit 204, a data sampling circuit 205, and an MCU module 206. The rectifier bridge 120 rectifies an output signal of the dimmer 140 to generate a dc bus voltage VH, and the zero-crossing detection circuit 204 performs zero-crossing detection on the dc bus voltage VH to generate a zero-crossing detection signal; the data sampling circuit 205 samples the bus dc voltage VH to generate a data sampling signal, the MCU module 206 generates a bypass control signal according to the zero-cross detection signal and the data sampling signal, the bypass control signal is used to control the on/off of the bypass circuit 203, when the bypass switch is on, the external power source 110, the dimmer 140 and the bypass circuit 203 form a conductive loop, and when the bypass switch is off, the conductive loop is turned off. The MCU module 206 further analyzes the dimming data transmitted by the dimmer according to the data sampling signal, so as to generate different PWM signals to adjust the output current of the LED.
Therefore, it is desired to further improve the LED driving circuit of the fluorescent lamp while solving the leakage problem and the dimming problem.

As shown in fig. 7, when power-up starts, the leakage protection circuit 301 controls the second transistor Q2 to be turned on intermittently through the first diode D1, at this time, the first switch K1 is turned off, the dimming module 304 and the power conversion circuit 150 do not operate, the anode of the second diode D2 is at a low level, and the leakage control module 310 controls the second transistor Q2 to be turned on according to the leakage detection signal, so as to generate the leakage current Ileak. Before the leakage current control module 310 generates the leakage current Ileak or when the leakage current Ileak starts to be generated, the leakage determination module 311 controls the leakage determination module 311 to obtain a first sampling voltage Vs1 from the voltage sampling module 309; before the leakage current Ileak linearly decreases, the sampling control signal controls the leakage judging module 311 to obtain a second sampling voltage Vs2 from the voltage sampling module 309. When Vs2 is greater than Vs1, there is no leakage, and then the leakage detection signal is at a low level, that is, the anode of the first diode D1 is always at a low level, and the leakage control signal Ctrl1 generated by the leakage determining module 311 controls the first switch K1 to be closed, so as to supply power to the dimming module 304.

The current flowing through the first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 are set to different values at different stages to achieve different impedances of the bypass module 303, which can be used for supplying power to the dimmer and transmitting dimming data, respectively.
When the second control signal Ctrl2 and the third control signal Ctrl3 are both low, the second transistor Q2 is turned off, and the first transistor Q1 operates in a linear region to continue outputting the power supply voltage Vcc.

When the LED driving circuit with leakage protection is connected in parallel to two ends of a normal LED driving circuit (an LED driving circuit without leakage protection), the dimmer 140 can operate normally, the waveform of the dc bus voltage VH carries dimming information, as shown in fig. 9, the second sampling voltage Vs2 obtained at time t2 is smaller than the first sampling voltage Vs1 obtained at time t1, and the LED driving circuit with leakage protection performs leakage protection until Vs2 is greater than Vs 1.
When a single LED driving circuit is connected in series with the dimmer 140, only the leakage protection circuit 301 works, and the dimming module 304 and the power conversion circuit 150 do not work when performing leakage protection, as shown in fig. 10, the waveform of the dc bus voltage VH does not have dimming information, and only a leakage loop can be generated through the internal capacitor of the dimmer 140. When leakage protection is performed, if the second sampling voltage Vs2 obtained at the time t2 is smaller than the first sampling voltage Vs1 obtained at the time t1, leakage protection is performed until Vs2 > Vs 1.
