Please refer to fig. 5, which is a schematic diagram of a light string assembly with multiple light emitting modes according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, the light string assembly of the embodiment of the present invention includes a control box 10 and a light string ST. The control box 10 shown in fig. 5 is the same as the control box 10 shown in fig. 1 to 4. The same contents as those described above are not described herein.
The switching power supply circuit and the light-emitting control circuit in the control box 10 are connected to the string ST to control the light-emitting state of the string ST. String ST includes wire WR and light emitting element DE. For example, the wire WR may be a copper wire/enameled wire, a teflon wire, a PVC wire or other suitable wires configured to connect the light emitting element DE to the switching power circuit and the light emitting control circuit.
The light emitting elements DE may be Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) or other elements with light emitting function, and each light emitting element DE may have a dual chip or may be replaced with a single chip or more chips in practice. It should be understood that the number of strings controlled by each control box 10, the number of light emitting components contained in each string, the arrangement position and the length of the wires can be adjusted according to actual requirements, and the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment.
Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 6, fig. 2 is an internal schematic diagram of a light controller of a light string with multiple light emitting modes according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a light controller of a light string with multiple light modes according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 6, the lighting controller LCT of the light string with multiple lighting modes according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a control box 10, a switching power circuit 20, and a lighting control circuit 30. The interior of the box body 101 of the control box 10 shown in fig. 2 may have a closed circuit accommodating space (not shown) above the power accommodating space 410 for accommodating the switching power circuit 20 and the light-emitting control circuit 30 shown in fig. 6.
When the power supply module 40, such as a battery, is accommodated in the power accommodating space 410 shown in fig. 2, the power supply module 40 electrically contacts the conductive module (such as the helical positive and negative leads and the copper sheet shown in fig. 2) in the power accommodating space 410 to electrically connect with the switching power circuit 20. As shown in fig. 6, when the switch assembly 11 receives a start timing trigger, for example, when the switch assembly 111 is pressed, the trigger switch power circuit 20 is started, allowing the power supply assembly 40 to supply power to the light string ST.
When the string of lights ST receives power, the mode switching assembly 112 of the switching assembly 11 is allowed to receive a plurality of light emitting triggers. When the mode switching component 112 of the switching component 11 receives a plurality of light-emitting triggers, for example, when the mode switching component 112 is pressed once or more, the trigger light-emitting control circuit 30 controls the light string ST to switch under different light-emitting modes according to the received different (times) light-emitting triggers, so as to generate variable light-emitting state changes.
Please refer to fig. 7, which is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling light emission of a light string with multiple light emission modes according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 7, the light-emitting control method of the light string with multiple light-emitting modes according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps S101 to S105 and steps S201 to S215, which can be executed by using the light-emitting controller LCT shown in fig. 1 to 6, and can adjust the execution sequence of the steps and increase or decrease the steps appropriately according to the actual application requirements.
The following steps S101 to S105 are used to trigger the switch component 111 shown in fig. 1 and fig. 5, and further trigger the lighting controller LCT to turn on, time and power off.
In step S101, according to the start timing pattern 14 on the control box 10 shown in fig. 5, the switch element 111 shown in fig. 1 and fig. 5 is pressed once to generate a start timing trigger to trigger the light-emitting controller LCT to turn on, corresponding to the number "1" arranged in the first group number NUP on the control box 10 in the first order. After the light controller LCT is turned on, the switching power supply circuit 20 allows the power supply module 40 to supply power to the string ST, and also starts a timer, and is automatically turned off after a certain time period of turning on.
For example, the first predetermined time is 6 hours, and the second predetermined time is 18 hours. For another example, the first predetermined time is 4 hours, and the second predetermined time is 20 hours. For another example, the first predetermined time is 8 hours, and the second predetermined time is 16 hours. For another example, the first predetermined time is 10 hours, and the second predetermined time is 14 hours. The above is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to the time lengths of the first preset time and the second preset time. If necessary, in practice, the manufacturer or the user can set the first preset time and the second preset time with different time lengths according to the actual application requirements.
In step S103, according to the cancel timing pattern 15 on the control box 10 shown in fig. 5, the switch component 111 shown in fig. 1 and 5 is pressed twice (the count of the number of times of trigger/press may be accumulated from step S101) in the first group number NUP on the corresponding control box 10 in the order of the second ordinal number "2", so as to generate a cancel timing trigger, which cancels the timing. After the timing is cancelled, the light controller LCT will always remain on and operate for 24 hours a day.
After step S101 or step S103 is executed, any one or more of the following steps S201 to S215 may be executed to press the mode switching assembly 112 shown in fig. 1 to trigger the light string ST to switch to the desired light emitting mode.
The light-emitting control method of the present invention can provide a plurality of light-emitting modes, for example, the eighth light-emitting mode illustrated in this embodiment, such as but not limited to a Steady White light (Steady White) mode, a Steady polychromatic light (Steady Multi) mode, a flashing White light (Flash White) mode, a flashing polychromatic light (Flash Multi) mode, a Fade White light (Fade White) mode, a Fade polychromatic light (Fade Multi) mode, a flashing White light polychromatic light interaction (Flash White-Multi) mode, and a Fade White light polychromatic light interaction (Fade White-Multi) mode, which is described in detail below.
In step S105, according to the shutdown pattern 16 on the control box 10 shown in fig. 5, the corresponding first group of numbers NUP on the control box 10 with the third ordinal number "3" is pressed three times (the number of trigger/press is accumulated from steps S101 and S103) to generate a shutdown trigger, which triggers the lighting controller LCT to shutdown, and the power supply assembly 40 stops supplying power to the string ST.
The plurality of light patterns 12 on the control box 10 shown in fig. 1 and 5 include a first group of light patterns 121 and a second group of light patterns 122. The first group of light emitting patterns 121 includes a plurality of first light emitting patterns respectively corresponding to a plurality of different light emitting modes. Similarly, the second group of light-emitting patterns 122 includes a plurality of second light-emitting patterns, which correspond to different light-emitting modes respectively. Which light emitting mode of the plurality of light emitting modes the light string ST is switched to depends on the number of times the mode switching assembly 112 is activated. The count of the number of triggers may be accumulated from the steps previously described for triggering the mode switch component 112.
In step S201, according to the number "1" with the first sequence in the second group of numbers NUL on the control box 10 as shown in fig. 5, the mode switching element 112 on the control box 10 is pressed once to apply the first light trigger to the mode switching element 112, so as to trigger the light control circuit 30 to switch the string ST to the normally bright white mode.
As shown in fig. 5, the first light-emitting pattern in the first group of light-emitting patterns 121 and the first light-emitting pattern in the second group of light-emitting patterns 122 arranged corresponding to the first serial number "1" indicate that in the normally-on white light mode, the light-emitting elements DE of the string ST are all on and emit white light, and the light-emitting state may be maintained for a predetermined time, for example, until the light-emitting controller LCT is turned off or switched to another light-emitting mode.
In step S203, according to the number "2" arranged in the second group of numbers NUL on the control box 10 in the second order as shown in fig. 5, the mode switching element 112 on the control box 10 is pressed to apply the second light emitting trigger to the mode switching element 112, so as to trigger the light emitting control circuit 30 to switch the string ST to the normally on multi-color light mode.
As shown in fig. 5, the second light-emitting pattern of the first group of light-emitting patterns 121 and the second light-emitting pattern of the second group of light-emitting patterns 122 arranged corresponding to the second serial number "2" represent that in the normal-bright multi-color light mode, the light-emitting elements DE of the string of lights ST are all bright, and all or part of the light-emitting elements DE emit light of different colors, so that the string of lights ST emits multi-color light as a whole.
For example, the first group of light emitting elements DE emits light of a first color (e.g., red light), the second group of light emitting elements DE emits light of a second color (e.g., blue light), the third group of light emitting elements DE emits light of a third color (e.g., green light), and the fourth group of light emitting elements DE emits light of a fourth color (e.g., orange light). The light emitting elements DE emitting different color lights may be arranged in a regular manner or an irregular manner in a staggered manner according to the color of the light.
In step S205, the mode switching element 112 on the control box 10 is pressed three times according to the number "3" in the second group of numbers NUL on the control box 10 in the third order as shown in fig. 5, so as to apply the third light-emitting trigger to the mode switching element 112, thereby triggering the light-emitting control circuit 30 to switch the string of lights ST to the blinking white light mode.
The third light-emitting pattern in the first group of light-emitting patterns 121 and the third light-emitting pattern in the second group of light-emitting patterns 122 arranged corresponding to the third serial number "3" represent that the light-emitting elements DE of the string of lights ST emit flickering white light in the flickering white light mode, and may change in gray. The flashing rates of all the light emitting elements DE may be uniform or non-uniform. In the present embodiment, the flashing rate of all light emitting assemblies DE is once every N seconds, where N may be any suitable positive integer value, such as, but not limited to, N ═ 1.5.
Alternatively, all of the light emitting elements DE of the string ST may be divided into M groups of light emitting elements DE, where M may be a positive integer value, and the light emitting elements DE of different groups may have different flashing rates, and may be grouped according to the color, arrangement position, or other conditions of the emitted light. For example, a first set of light emitting elements DE emitting light of a first color (e.g., red light) may blink at a first default frequency, a second set of light emitting elements DE emitting light of a second color (e.g., blue light) may blink at a second default frequency, a third set of light emitting elements DE emitting light of a third color (e.g., green light) may blink at a third default frequency, and a fourth set of light emitting elements DE emitting light of a fourth color (e.g., orange light) may blink at a fourth default frequency.
In step S207, the mode switching element 112 on the control box 10 is pressed four times according to the number "4" arranged in the fourth sequence in the second group of numbers NUL on the control box 10 as shown in fig. 5, so as to apply the fourth light-emitting trigger to the mode switching element 112, and further trigger the light-emitting control circuit 30 to switch the string of lights ST to the blinking multi-color light mode.
The fourth light-emitting pattern in the first group of light-emitting patterns 121 and the fourth light-emitting pattern in the second group of light-emitting patterns 122 arranged corresponding to the fourth serial number "4" represent that in the blinking multi-color light mode, the light string ST emits blinking multi-color light, that is, the light-emitting elements DE of different groups of the light string ST emit different color lights and may change in gray and light. The flashing rates of all the light emitting elements DE may be uniform or non-uniform. In the present embodiment, the flashing rate of all light emitting assemblies DE is once every N seconds, where N may be any suitable positive integer value. The rate of flashing of the light emitting elements DE of the string ST in the flashing multi-color light mode may be the same as or different from the rate of flashing in the flashing white light mode.
In step S209, the mode switching element 112 on the control box 10 is pressed five times according to the number "5" arranged in the fifth order in the second group number NUL on the control box 10 as shown in fig. 5, so as to apply the fifth light-emitting trigger to the mode switching element 112, thereby triggering the light-emitting control circuit 30 to switch the string of lights ST to the fade-out white light mode.
The fifth light pattern of the first group of light patterns 121 and the fifth light pattern of the second group of light patterns 122, which are arranged corresponding to the fifth serial number "5", represent that the light emitting state of the light emitting elements DE of the string of lights ST in the gradual white light mode shows a slow gray-to-white change compared to the flickering white light mode. For example, the light emitting device DE emits white light at first, the brightness value of the white light is gradually decreased to the gray value as time advances, and then the brightness value is returned to the initial brightness value after a predetermined time, and the process is repeated. The transition speed of the brightness value of the white light in the gradual white light mode can meet a default transition speed and is less than the transition speed of the brightness value of the white light in the flickering white light mode.
In step S211, the mode switching element 112 on the control box 10 is pressed six times according to the number "6" in the sixth sequence in the second group number NUL on the control box 10 as shown in fig. 5, so as to apply the sixth light emitting trigger to the mode switching element 112, and further trigger the light emitting control circuit 30 to switch the string of lights ST to the fade-out multi-color light mode.
The sixth light-emitting pattern of the first group of light-emitting patterns 121 and the sixth light-emitting pattern of the second group of light-emitting patterns 122, which are arranged corresponding to the sixth serial number "6", represent that in the fade-out multi-color light mode, the light-emitting state of the light-emitting element DE of the string of lights ST exhibits a slow gray-to-white change compared to the flicker multi-color light mode. For example, the light string ST starts emitting the multi-color light, and as time advances, the brightness value of the multi-color light gradually decreases to the gray-scale value, and then after a predetermined time, the light string ST returns to the initial brightness value, and the cycle is repeated. The transition speed of the luminance values of the multi-color light may correspond to a default transition speed, which is less than the transition speed of the luminance values of the multi-color light of the blinking multi-color light mode, and may be the same as the transition speed of the luminance values of the white light of the fading white light mode.
In step S213, the mode switching element 112 on the control box 10 is pressed seven times according to the seventh serial number "7" in the second group of serial numbers NUL on the control box 10 as shown in fig. 5, so as to apply a seventh light trigger to the mode switching element 112, thereby triggering the light control circuit 30 to switch the string ST to a blinking white-light multi-color light interaction mode.
The seventh light pattern in the first group of light patterns 121 and the seventh light pattern in the second group of light patterns 122, which are arranged corresponding to the seventh serial number "7", represent that in the flicker white light and multi-color light interaction mode, the light string ST starts to emit white light, the light string ST is converted to emit multi-color light after maintaining a predetermined white light time, and then returns to the white light after maintaining a predetermined multi-color light time, and the cycle is repeated.
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the light string ST has a plurality of light emitting components DE, each of which (e.g., LEDs) may have a single chip or multiple chips (e.g., without limitation, dual chips). For example, the multiple chips may emit a common color light, such as all emitting white light or colored light, and the colored light may include light of colors such as blue, red, green, and the like. Additionally or alternatively, the multiple chips may emit different colors of light, such as one of the two chips emitting white light and the other chip emitting colored light, or multiple colors of light (i.e., the multiple chips emitting colored light of different colors from each other), such as dual colors of light (one of the two chips emitting colored light and the other chip emitting colored light of a different color). The above is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to the parameters of the number of chips and the color of light emitted by the example.
In step S215, according to the eighth serial number "8" in the second group of serial numbers NUL on the control box 10 as shown in fig. 5, the mode switching element 112 on the control box 10 is pressed eight times to apply the eighth light emitting trigger to the mode switching element 112, so as to trigger the light emitting control circuit 30 to switch the string of lights ST to the gradual-receding white light multi-color light interaction mode.
The eighth light-emitting pattern of the first group of light-emitting patterns 121 and the eighth light-emitting pattern of the second group of light-emitting patterns 122, which are arranged corresponding to the eighth serial number "8", represent that the light-emitting elements DE of the light string ST are slowly changed in gray and bright in the gradual white light and multi-color light interaction mode.
For example, the brightness of the string ST is first gray scale value, and after an initial time, the string ST is gradually changed from the first gray scale value to the white light having a predetermined white light brightness value at a first predetermined change speed, and the white light is maintained to have the predetermined white light brightness value for a predetermined white light maintaining time. Then, at a second default variation speed, the white light brightness value is gradually changed to a second gray value from the default white light brightness value. After maintaining a preset gray scale maintaining time, the multi-color light with a preset multi-color light brightness value is gradually changed at a third default change speed.
After step S215 is completed, the process returns to step S201, and then steps S203 to S215 may be performed in sequence. That is, steps S201 to S215 may be executed cyclically. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the number of times each step is performed, nor to the number of times all steps are performed in a loop.
As described above, in the present embodiment, eight light emitting modes are exemplified, and the light string ST generates different light emitting effects in different light emitting modes. The sequence of steps S203 to S215 can be adjusted according to actual requirements to adjust the trigger times required for switching the light string ST to different light emitting modes, so as to change the light emitting states of the light string ST in different light emitting modes and to increase or decrease the number of light emitting modes exemplified in the present embodiment. For example, after the light controller LCT is turned on, the light string ST is switched to the normally-on white light mode in step S201 without any trigger applied to the mode switching component 112. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the examples of the present embodiment.
In this embodiment, the triggering times are accumulated in an unlimited manner, but the invention is not limited thereto. In practice, if necessary, a time-limited manner may be adopted, for example, in a predetermined time after the previous pressing, the accumulated number of times of triggering includes the previous triggering, for example, the mode switching component 112 is pressed twice again in the predetermined time, and the accumulated number of times is three, so that the string ST is switched to the blinking white light mode. However, if the predetermined time is exceeded, the accumulated number of trigger times does not include the previous pressing, for example, if the mode switching element 112 is to be pressed three times after the predetermined time is exceeded and the mode is to be switched to the third mode.
In the embodiment, assuming that the string ST is currently in the blinking white light mode, if it is desired to return to the previous mode (i.e. the normally-on multi-color light mode), the mode switching element 112 must be pressed five times, the light-emitting control circuit 30 switches the string ST to the eighth light-emitting mode, and then the mode switching element 112 is pressed twice, so that the string ST can be switched to the normally-on multi-color light mode. Therefore, in practice, the number of triggers may be accumulated by triggering between different light emitting modes. For example, assuming that the string ST is currently in the blinking white light mode, the mode switching component 112 is pressed twice, and the light-emitting control circuit 30 switches the string ST to the normally-on multi-color light mode instead of the fading white light mode.
After the light-emitting controller LCT is powered off in step S105, the light-emitting control circuit 30 of the light-emitting controller LCT may record the number of times of triggering the mode switching component 112 and the light-emitting state of the light string ST before powering off, and when powering on next time, control the light string ST to maintain the same light-emitting state as that of the last powering on, and the condition of the number of times of triggering to switch to different light-emitting modes may be continuously accumulated from the number of times of triggering before the previous powering off. However, in practice, it is also possible to perform a reset to re-accumulate the triggering times and to return the light-emitting state of the string ST to the initial state every time the light-emitting device is turned on.
