Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the specific embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below, and it should be understood that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1, the schematic diagram of the 3-step LED control circuit includes four parts: the device comprises a power supply detection module, an ambient light recognition module, a signal delay and latch module and an output module.

The power supply detection module consists of a power supply detection and delay unit, and is connected with the filtering amplification processing unit, all latches and the output end amplifier. The signal of the controller is used for controlling the input signal of the visible light sensor to be compared with the second comparator of the first comparator when the power supply is electrified, clearing all latches and controlling the output module to work after the power supply is electrified.

The environment light ray identification module consists of a visible light sensor, an input signal filtering and amplifying processing unit, a first reference voltage, a first comparator and a second comparator; the signal of the visible light sensor is connected with the positive input ends of the first comparator and the second comparator after being filtered and amplified; two paths of output reference potentials of the first reference voltage are connected with negative input ends of the first comparator and the second comparator.

The signal delay and latch module consists of a first latch, a second latch, a decoder, a first delay unit, a second delay unit, a third latch, a fourth latch and a first AND gate, wherein the decoder comprises a first inverter, a second inverter, a first AND gate, a second AND gate and a third AND gate. The first latch receives an output signal of the first comparator, and the second latch receives an output signal of the second comparator; the signals in the first latch and the second latch are decoded by a decoder, a first AND gate of the first latch and the second latch is connected with a first delay unit, a second AND gate of the second latch and the third AND gate are directly connected with a first AND gate. After the first delay unit finishes delaying, the signal is latched in a third latch, and the third latch transmits the signal to a second delay unit; after the delay of the second delay unit is finished, the signal is latched in the fourth latch, and the fourth latch transmits the signal to the first sum gate.

The output module is composed of a second reference voltage, a first switch, a second switch, a third switch, an amplifier, a resistor R1, a field effect tube M1 and an LED bulb. The first switch is connected with the first delay unit and is controlled by the first delay unit; the second switch is connected with the second delay unit and is controlled by the second delay unit; the third switch is connected with the first sum gate and is controlled by the first sum gate; the input ends of the first switch, the second switch and the third switch are respectively connected with three reference potentials of a second reference voltage 3, and the output ends of the first switch, the second switch and the third switch are connected together and connected to the positive input end of the amplifier; the output end of the amplifier is connected with the grid electrode of the field effect transistor M1, the source electrode of the M1 is connected with the resistor R1 and the negative input end of the amplifier, and the drain electrode of the M1 is connected with the LED bulb.

The specific control process is as follows:

v1 is the voltage of the electric signal generated by the visible light sensor after filtering and amplifying; v2 is voltage detected and delayed by the power supply for a period of time, and has the functions of waiting for the visible light sensor to convert the intensity of ambient light into an electric signal, filtering and amplifying the electric signal and the like after the LED bulb is electrified; secondly, clearing the first latch/12/21/22 and the first delay unit/2 to avoid misoperation caused by power-on; and the amplifier is turned off so as to prevent the judgment of the visible light sensor from being interfered by the transient flicker phenomenon.

VREF11 and VREF12 are two reference voltages generated by the first reference voltage, and are used to determine the voltage range of V1, so as to confirm the intensity range of the ambient light, and the voltage of VREF12 is higher than the voltage of VREF 11.

The first comparator compares the voltages of the V1 and the VREF11, when the voltage of V1 is less than the voltage of VREF11, it indicates that the intensity of the ambient light is weak, and the first comparator is in the 1 st gear, at this time, the output voltage V31 is 0, and the output voltage V32 of the second comparator is also 0; when V1 is greater than VREF11 voltage but less than VREF12 voltage, it indicates that the intensity of the ambient light is in the 2 nd position, and at this time, the output voltage V31 is high and the output voltage V32 is 0; when V1 is greater than VREF12, indicating strong intensity of ambient light, in the 3 rd gear, the output voltages V31 and V32 are both high.

When the power detect delay is over, V2 transitions from 0 to high and latches the V31 and V32 signals into the first latch and the second latch, respectively. The first inverter, I2, and the first and gate, NA2, NA3 decode the signal stored in the first latch 12 into three signals, V41, V42, and V43. When V31 and V32 are 0, V41 is high and V42 and V43 are 0; when V31 is high, V32 is 0, V42 is high, and V41 and V43 are 0; when V31 and V32 are both high, V43 is high and V41 and V42 are 0.

V51 and V52 are delay signals of 30 seconds to 40 seconds and respectively control the first switch and the second switch, when V51 is high, K1 is conducted, and when V53 is high, the second switch is conducted; v55 is the control signal when the LED bulb is normally on, and the third switch is on when the LED bulb is high. Only one of V51, V53 and V55 is high at the same time, so that only one of K1, the second switch and the third switch is turned on at the same time. VREF21, VREF22, VREF23 are output signals of the second reference voltage, wherein VREF23 is a control voltage when the LED bulb is normally on, VREF21 is 20% of VREF23, and VREF22 is 50% of VREF 23.

Assuming that V41 is a high signal and V42 and V43 are 0 signals, V51 will remain high for 30 seconds to 40 seconds, K1 is turned on, and the second switch and the third switch are turned off. After the delay is over, V51 changes from high to 0, the third latch will latch this state, and its output signal V52 changes from 0 to high, and the output signal V53 of the second delay cell also changes from 0 to high, while the second switch is turned on and K1 is turned off. V53 changes from high to 0 after delaying for 30-40 seconds, the fourth latch latches the state, the output signal V54 changes from 0 to high, the output signal V55 of the first and gate changes from 0 to high, the third switch is turned on, and the second switch is turned off; the V55 signal will remain high until power is removed.

The voltage of the resistor R1 is controlled by the output signals VREF3 of the K1, the second switch and the third switch through the amplifier and the field effect transistor M1, so that the current of R1 is controlled, and the current of R1 is the current of the LED bulb. When the LED bulb works normally, the third switch is turned on, VREF3 is equal to VREF23, and the LED current is equal to VREF 23/R1; when K1 is on, VREF3 is equal to VREF21, about 20% of VREF23, and the LED current is about 20% of the normal on current; when the second switch is on, VREF3 is equal to VREF22, which is approximately 50% of VREF23, and the LED current is approximately 50% of the normal on current.

The working process is as follows:

when the ambient light is dark and is in the 1 st gear, the working process is as shown in fig. 2:

when the power supply is powered on, the power supply detection unit detects that the power supply is larger than a set value, the delay time is calculated, meanwhile, the visible light sensor starts to detect the intensity of ambient light and converts the intensity of the ambient light into an electric signal, a signal V1 is obtained through filtering and amplifying processing, the signal V1 is compared with a first reference voltage 1/12 through a first comparator/2, and since V1 is smaller than VREF11, the obtained signal V31 is 0, and V32 is 0. After the power supply detection unit delays, the signals of V31 and V32 are respectively latched into the first latch and the second latch, meanwhile, the filtering amplification processing unit stops working, and then the signals in the first latch and the second latch cannot be influenced no matter how the ambient light changes until power is cut off and power is re-powered on next time. After the first inverter/I2 and the first and gate/NA 2/NA3 decode the first latch/12, V41 is high, V42 is 0, and V43 is 0. V51 changes from 0 to high, and the first switch is turned on, VREF3 is equal to VREF21, the LED lamp starts to work, the current of the LED lamp is about 20% of the current in normal work, the brightness is dark, and people cannot feel dazzling. After the first delay unit delays for 30 seconds to 40 seconds, V51 changes from high to 0, and simultaneously latches a signal into a third latch, V53 changes from 0 to high, a second switch is turned on, VREF3 is equal to VREF22, LED lamp current rises from 20% to 50% of current in normal operation, and the brightness of the lamp cannot be dazzled by the adaptation time of 30 seconds to 40 seconds before. The second delay unit delays for 30 seconds to 40 seconds again, then the V53 changes from high to 0, simultaneously latches the signal into the fourth latch, and outputs a V55 signal through the first AND gate, the V55 changes from 0 to high, the switch 3 is turned on, VREF3 is equal to VREF23, the LED bulb current is switched to the current in normal operation, and due to the adaptation of two kinds of dark light rays of 60 seconds to 80 seconds by human eyes, the strong light rays in the normal operation can be adapted quickly.

When the ambient light is in the 2 nd gear, the working process is as shown in fig. 3:

when the power supply is powered on, the power supply detection unit detects that the power supply is larger than a set value, the delay time is started to be calculated, meanwhile, the visible light sensor starts to detect the intensity of ambient light and converts the intensity of the ambient light into an electric signal, a signal V1 is obtained through filtering and amplifying processing, V1 is compared with a first reference voltage 1/12 through a first comparator/2, and since V1 is larger than VREF11 and smaller than VREF12, the obtained signal V31 is changed from 0 to high, and V32 is equal to 0. After the power supply detection unit delays, the signals of V31 and V32 are respectively latched into the first latch and the second latch, meanwhile, the filtering amplification processing unit stops working, and then the signals in the first latch and the second latch cannot be influenced no matter how the ambient light changes until power is cut off and power is re-powered on next time. After the first inverter/I2 and the first and gate/NA 2/NA3 decode the latch 1/2, V41 becomes 0, V42 becomes high, and V43 becomes 0. V51 remains at 0, V53 goes from 0 to high while the second switch is turned on, VREF3 is equal to VREF22, and the LED bulb starts to operate at a current of about 50% of the current in normal operation, at which time the brightness of the LED is not too glaring. After the second delay unit delays for 30 seconds to 40 seconds, V53 changes from high to 0, simultaneously, a signal is latched into a fourth latch, V55 changes from 0 to high, a third switch is turned on, VREF3 is equal to VREF23, LED bulb current is switched to current in normal work, and human eyes adapt to the light for 30 seconds to 40 seconds, so that the LED bulb can adapt to stronger light quickly.

The ambient light is stronger in the 3 rd gear, and the working process is as shown in fig. 4: after the power supply is powered on, when the power supply detection unit detects that the power supply is larger than a set value, the delay time starts to be calculated, meanwhile, the visible light sensor starts to detect the intensity of ambient light and converts the intensity of the ambient light into an electric signal, filtering and amplifying are carried out to obtain a signal V1, the signal V1 is compared with a first reference voltage 1/12 through a first comparator/2, and since V1 is larger than VREF12, the obtained signals V31 and V32 are both changed from 0 to high. After the power supply detection unit delays, the signals of V31 and V32 are respectively latched into the first latch and the second latch, meanwhile, the filtering amplification processing unit stops working, and then the signals in the first latch and the second latch cannot be influenced no matter how the ambient light changes until power is cut off and power is re-powered on next time. After the first inverter/I2 and the first and gate/NA 2/NA3 decode the latch 1/2, V41 becomes 0, V42 becomes 0, and V43 becomes high. V51 and V53 keep 0, and V55 changes from 0 to high, and the third switch is turned on at the same time, VREF3 is equal to VREF23, and the LED lamp begins to work normally, and normal use of people is not affected.
