- an operation threshold of the safety circuit 2 is set to be less than those of the safety circuit 121 and the safety circuit 14. That is, when the circuit fails, the third safety circuit is first cut off. In this way, when the circuit failure originates from the outside of the straight tube LED lamp 10, the operation of the third current limiting assembly can prevent an abnormal current of the loop from damaging the straight tube LED lamp 10. After the circuit failure is eliminated, the third safety circuit is replaced, so that the straight tube LED lamp 10 can still be normally used.

- the threshold of the safety circuit 121 is set to be less than that of the safety circuit 14. Therefore, when the current of the power supply loop surges as a result of a circuit failure, the safety circuit 121 operates before the safety circuit 14 to cut off the power supply loop of the power module. In this case, even if the user modifies the circuit to directly connect the first pin 101 and the second pin 102 to the mains supply (referring to FIG. 3 ), the LED lamp still cannot be lightened normally. In this case, the safety circuit 121 is cut. By means of the configuration, the circuit safety and the user safety can be guaranteed more effectively.
- the current limiting assembly included in the safety circuit 14 is a current fuse
- the current limiting assembly used in the safety circuit 121 is a resistance fuse.
- the costs of the current fuse are higher than that of the resistance fuse.
- the threshold of the safety circuit 121 is set to be lower than that of the safety circuit 14. That is, when the power module 12 fails and the current of the power supply loop exceeds a rated current, the safety circuit 121 is cut off before the safety circuit 14. In this way, only the resistance fuse in the safety circuit 121 needs to be replaced during repair.
- the current threshold of the safety circuit 14 is set to 2 A. When a current flowing through the safety circuit 14 is greater than or equal to 2 A, the safety circuit 14 is cut off.
- the fuse in the above embodiment may be a current fuse or a resistance fuse. This application is not limited thereto.
- the current fuse in this embodiment of this application is a fusible fuse. When the current flowing through the current fuse is greater than or equal to the current threshold (a fusing threshold), the current fuse blows. Similarly, the resistance fuse is a fusible fuse. When the current flowing through the resistance fuse is greater than or equal to the current threshold (a fusing threshold), the resistance fuse blows.

FIG. 1A is a schematic structural circuit diagram of a straight tube LED lamp according to an embodiment of this application. The straighttube LED lamp 10 includes alamp tube 11,lamp holders lamp tube 11, apower module 12, anLED module 13, and asafety circuit 14. Afirst pin 101 and asecond pin 102 are disposed on thelamp holder 11a, and athird pin 103 and afourth pin 104 are disposed on thelamp holder 11b. Thefirst pin 101, thesecond pin 102, thethird pin 103, and thefourth pin 104 are metallic pins, and are connected to a lamp base to fix the lamp tube, and are electrically connected to electrical pins of the lamp base to receive an external power signal. Thefirst pin 101 and thesecond pin 103 are further electrically connected to thepower module 12, and thethird pin 103 and thefourth pin 104 are further electrically connected to thesafety circuit 14. TheLED module 13 is electrically connected to thepower module 12. It should be noted that thesafety circuit 14 is not electrically connected to thepower module 12 or theLED module 13. - In this embodiment, the straight
tube LED lamp 10 has a lamp tube powered at a single end. When directly powered by a mains supply, the straight tube LED lamp can be normally lightened by receiving an external power signal merely by using thefirst pin 101 and thesecond pin 102. Thethird pin 103 and thefourth pin 104 may be idle. Thepower module 12 receives the external power signal by using thefirst pin 101 and thesecond pin 102 and performs power conversion. The power module converts the external power signal to a driving signal for theLED module 13, so as to lighten the LED module. The external power signal is a mains supply signal or power supply signals of other types. This application is not limited thereto. The external power supply is configured to provide the external power signal. - In some embodiments, when the straight
tube LED lamp 10 is misused, for example, thelamp holder 11b of the straighttube LED lamp 10 receives the external power signal, thesafety circuit 14 is cut off to disconnect the power supply, so as to prevent the system from overheating and causing danger. In this embodiment, thesafety circuit 14 is configured to be cut off when voltages on thethird pin 103 and thefourth pin 104 are equal to or greater than 3.6 V. - In order to ensure the circuit safety of conventional fluorescent lamps, a filament is tested by using a voltage of 3.6 V in accordance with the standard of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), to ensure that a current of the filament is less than 0.51 A. According to Ohm's law, setting a resistance value of
safety circuit 14 to be greater than or equal to 7.06 Ω can satisfy the safety standard of the IEC. However, a higher resistance of thesafety circuit 14 leads to more unnecessary power consumption, resulting in a waste of energy. - In this embodiment, when a test voltage of 3.6 V is applied to the
third pin 103 and thefourth pin 104, that is, when the voltage applied to thesafety circuit 14 is 3.6 V, thesafety circuit 14 is cut off. In this case, a current between thethird pin 103 and thefourth pin 104 is zero, that is, less than 0.51 A. Therefore, the safety requirements of the IEC can be satisfied. - In this embodiment, the
safety circuit 14 includes a current fuse. The current fuse includes two contacts. A first contact is electrically connected to thethird pin 103, and a second contact is electrically connected to thefourth pin 104. - A current of a common LED lamp is about 200 mA. In some embodiments, in order to protect the LED lamp more effectively, a threshold of the
safety circuit 14 is set to 250 mA. When a current flowing through thesafety circuit 14 is greater than or equal to 250 mA, thesafety circuit 14 is cut off. - In some embodiments, in order to satisfy the safety standard of the IEC, the
safety circuit 14 is configured to be cut off when the current flowing through the safety circuit is equal to or greater than 510 mA. In some embodiments, the resistance of thesafety circuit 14 is configured to be less than 7.06 ohms. -
FIG. 1B is a schematic structural circuit diagram of a straight tube LED lamp according to another embodiment of this application. In this embodiment, the configuration of the straighttube LED lamp 10 is the same as that described in the embodiment ofFIG. 1A . Further, thepower module 12 includes asafety circuit 121 and arectifier circuit 122. Thesafety circuit 121 is a current limiting assembly, and is coupled between the power supply pins (thefirst pin 101 and the second pin 102) and the rectifier circuit, to limit a supply current from the external power signal to therectifier circuit 122. When the current flowing through thesafety circuit 121 is greater than the set threshold, thesafety circuit 121 is cut off, so thatLED lamp 10 stops receiving the external power signal to ensure the circuit safety. - In this embodiment, the
safety circuit 121 includes a resistance fuse. When a current flowing through the resistance fuse is greater than a set threshold, the resistance fuse blows. Different types of current limiting assemblies are used for thesafety circuit 121 and thesafety circuit 14. - The
rectifier circuit 122 is a half-bridge or full-bridge rectifier circuit. Therectifier circuit 122 includes at least two diodes. When thepower module 12 fails, for example, when the diodes in therectifier circuit 122 are short-circuited or disconnected, causing the current flowing through thesafety circuit 121 to be greater than the set threshold, thesafety circuit 121 is cut off to ensure the circuit safety. -
FIG. 1C is a schematic structural circuit diagram of apower module 12 according to an embodiment of this application. In this embodiment, thepower module 12 includes asafety circuit 121 and arectifier circuit 122. Thesafety circuit 121 includes a resistance fuse F1. The resistance fuse F1 is coupled between thefirst pin 101 and the rectifier circuit. Thesecond pin 102 is electrically connected to the rectifier circuit. The external power signal is transmitted to the LED lamp through thefirst pin 101 and thesecond pin 102. A current flowing through the resistance fuse F1 is the current of the external power signal. When the current is greater than a threshold set for the resistance fuse F1, the resistance fuse F1 blows, so that theLED lamp 10 stops receiving the external power signal (supply of the external power signal to theLED lamp 10 is stopped). - In other embodiments, the resistance fuse F1 may be replaced with a current fuse or other current limiting assemblies. This application is not limited thereto.
- FIG. ID is a schematic structural circuit diagram of a
power module 12 according to another embodiment of this application. In this embodiment, thepower module 12 includes asafety circuit 121 and arectifier circuit 122. Thesafety circuit 121 includes resistance fuses F1 and F2. The resistance fuse F1 is coupled between thefirst pin 101 and the rectifier circuit, and the resistance fuse F2 is coupled between thesecond pin 102 and the rectifier circuit. The external power signal is supplied to theLED lamp 10 through thefirst pin 101 and thesecond pin 102. A current flowing through the resistance fuse F1 is equal to a current flowing through the resistance fuse F2. When the current flowing through the resistance fuse F1 is greater than a set threshold, the resistance fuse F1 blows. When the current flowing through the resistance fuse F2 is greater than the set threshold, the resistance fuse F2 blows. In this embodiment, the threshold of the resistance fuse F1 is the same as the threshold of the resistance fuse F2. By disposing two resistance fuses in a power supply loop of theLED lamp 10, the circuit can be more reliable. When one of the resistance fuses fail to blow, the other resistance fuse can still protect the circuit. - The threshold of the resistance fuse F1 is the same as the threshold of the resistance fuse F2. Alternatively, the resistance fuses F1 and F2 may be replaced with current fuses or other current limiting assemblies. This application is not limited thereto.

FIG. 2A is a schematic structural circuit diagram of an LED lamp lighting system according to an embodiment of this application. In this embodiment, an LEDlamp lighting system 20 further includes aninductance ballast 21 and asafety circuit 22, in addition to the straighttube LED lamp 10. Theinductance ballast 21 is electrically connected to an external power signal input terminal L and thefourth pin 104, and thesecond pin 102 is electrically connected to thethird pin 103 by using thesafety circuit 22. Thefirst pin 101 is electrically connected to an external power signal input terminal N. - During replacement of the conventional fluorescent lamp, power is directly supplied to the straight
tube LED lamp 10 according to the connection method described inFIG. 2A , so as to minimize circuit changes. In this way, not only circuit changes are reduced, but also the straighttube LED lamp 10 can be normally powered either when the straight tube LED lamp is either positively or negatively connected to the lamp base. - In this embodiment, power is supplied from the external power signal to the straight
tube LED lamp 10 through a power supply loop formed by the power signal input terminal L, theinductance ballast 21, thesafety circuit 14, thesafety circuit 22, thepower module 12, and the power signal input terminal N. Theinductance ballast 21, thesafety circuit 14, the current limitingassembly 21, and thepower module 12 are connected in series. - In this embodiment, the
safety circuit 22 includes a fuse for replacing an original starter. The fuse can not only connect the circuits, but also prevent the circuit of the power supply loop from exceeding a threshold current. A threshold current of the fuse is set to 300 Ma. - In this embodiment, the
safety circuit 14 includes a current limitingassembly 141. The current limitingassembly 141 may be a fuse or other electronic elements capable of current limitation. A fuse is used as an example for description in this application. The threshold of the fuse is set to 300 mA. When a current flowing through the fuse is greater than 300 mA, the fuse blows, that is, thesafety circuit 14 is cut off, and the power supply loop is cut off, so as to prevent the current of the straighttube LED lamp 10 from exceeding the safety threshold and causing circuit damage or even fire. - It should be particularly noted that, since the current limiting
assembly 141 in thesafety circuit 14 is connected in series with the power supply loop, the current flowing through the straighttube LED lamp 10 is the same as the current flowing through the current limitingassembly 141. For example, when the straighttube LED lamp 10 is normally lightened, the current in the power supply loop is 200 mA. If a resistance of the current limitingassembly 141 is relatively large, for example, is 10 ohms, according to Ohm's law, a power consumed for the current limitingassembly 141 is 0.4 W. The power is completely converted to heat. The current limitingassembly 141 consumes energy of 3.5 kW·h over a year. In addition, the heat generated by the current limitingassembly 141 increases an operating temperature of the straighttube LED lamp 10, reducing the service life of the straighttube LED lamp 10. If the resistance of the current limitingassembly 141 is set to 3 ohms or less, the power consumed for the current limiting assembly is greatly reduced. Therefore, the unnecessary power consumption is greatly reduced, and the straight tube LED lamp is more environmentally friendly and energy saving and has a longer service life. - In some embodiments, the current limiting
assembly 141 is a fuse with a resistance value of 1 ohm or less. -
FIG. 2B is a schematic structural circuit diagram of an LED lamp lighting system according to another embodiment of this application A circuit structure of the LED lamp lighting system in this embodiment is the same as the LED lamp lighting system shown inFIG. 2A . Further, thepower module 12 in this embodiment includes asafety circuit 121 and arectifier circuit 122. Thesafety circuit 121 is a current limiting assembly, and is coupled between the power supply pins (thefirst pin 101 and the second pin 102) and the rectifier circuit, to limit a supply current of the external power signal. When a current flowing through thesafety circuit 121 is greater than a set threshold, thesafety circuit 121 is cut off, so that the external power signal cannot be supplied to therectifier circuit 122, that is, the supply to the power module is stopped. The current limiting assembly included in thesafety circuit 121 may be a current fuse or a resistance fuse. This application is not limited thereto. - In this embodiment, the
safety circuit 121 includes a resistance fuse. When a current flowing through the resistance fuse is greater than a set threshold, the resistance fuse blows. Different types of current limiting assemblies are used for thesafety circuit 121 and thesafety circuit 14. - The
rectifier circuit 122 is a half-bridge or full-bridge rectifier circuit. Therectifier circuit 122 includes at least two diodes. When thepower module 12 fails, for example, when the diodes in therectifier circuit 122 are short-circuited or disconnected, causing the current flowing through thesafety circuit 121 to be greater than the set threshold, thesafety circuit 121 is cut off to ensure the circuit safety. - When the straight tube LED lamp fails, for example, the
power module 12 fails or therectifier circuit 122 in thepower module 12 fails, the current in the power supply loop surges. If the power supply loop is not cut off in time, circuit devices may generate heat and be damaged, or even lead to a fire, resulting in an accident. - In some embodiments, in order to prevent the current increase of the power supply loop caused by an LED lamp failure or the like, an operation threshold of the safety circuit 2 is set to be less than those of the
safety circuit 121 and thesafety circuit 14. That is, when the circuit fails, the third safety circuit is first cut off. In this way, when the circuit failure originates from the outside of the straighttube LED lamp 10, the operation of the third current limiting assembly can prevent an abnormal current of the loop from damaging the straighttube LED lamp 10. After the circuit failure is eliminated, the third safety circuit is replaced, so that the straighttube LED lamp 10 can still be normally used. - In some usage scenarios, the
safety circuit 22 is bypassed. In this case, the first safety circuit or the second safety circuit operates when the circuit fails. When the second safety circuit operates first, if the circuit failure originates from the outside of the straight tube LED lamp, a user may modify the circuit to directly connect thefirst pin 101 and thesecond pin 102 to the mains supply, so that the straighttube LED lamp 10 can still be normally used. If the circuit failure originates from the straighttube LED lamp 10, for example, the rectifier circuit in thepower module 12 fails, if the user still modifies the circuit (directly connecting thefirst pin 101 and thesecond pin 102 to the mains supply) to use the straight tube LED lamp, the circuit failure in the straight tube LED lamp causes the first current limiting assembly 15 to operate or the mains line to be abnormal. - In this embodiment, the threshold of the
safety circuit 121 is set to be less than that of thesafety circuit 14. Therefore, when the current of the power supply loop surges as a result of a circuit failure, thesafety circuit 121 operates before thesafety circuit 14 to cut off the power supply loop of the power module. In this case, even if the user modifies the circuit to directly connect thefirst pin 101 and thesecond pin 102 to the mains supply (referring toFIG. 3 ), the LED lamp still cannot be lightened normally. In this case, thesafety circuit 121 is cut. By means of the configuration, the circuit safety and the user safety can be guaranteed more effectively. - Similar to the above embodiment, in order to satisfy the safety standard of the IEC, the current limiting assembly included in the
safety circuit 14 is a current fuse, and the current limiting assembly used in thesafety circuit 121 is a resistance fuse. The costs of the current fuse are higher than that of the resistance fuse. In order to reduce the maintenance costs, the threshold of thesafety circuit 121 is set to be lower than that of thesafety circuit 14. That is, when thepower module 12 fails and the current of the power supply loop exceeds a rated current, thesafety circuit 121 is cut off before thesafety circuit 14. In this way, only the resistance fuse in thesafety circuit 121 needs to be replaced during repair. In this embodiment, the current threshold of thesafety circuit 14 is set to 2 A. When a current flowing through thesafety circuit 14 is greater than or equal to 2 A, thesafety circuit 14 is cut off. - The fuse in the above embodiment may be a current fuse or a resistance fuse. This application is not limited thereto.
- The current fuse in this embodiment of this application is a fusible fuse. When the current flowing through the current fuse is greater than or equal to the current threshold (a fusing threshold), the current fuse blows. Similarly, the resistance fuse is a fusible fuse. When the current flowing through the resistance fuse is greater than or equal to the current threshold (a fusing threshold), the resistance fuse blows.
