Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a control technique, and more particularly to a flash control circuit applied to a digital camera. [Prior Art] • In a digital camera, the flash unit flash usually uses a charging circuit to charge the storage capacitor of the flash, and then uses a trigger circuit to apply a trigger high voltage to the flash tube to the trigger of the flash tube. The 闪光灯 is discharged by the storage capacitor to cause the flash tube to emit light. As digital cameras have become smaller, the size of flash tubes has also become smaller and smaller. In order to ensure the luminous intensity of the flash lamp, a higher helium pressure (density) is usually required inside the lamp tube, and the trigger voltage required for the lamp to emit light is increased, and the conventional circuit cannot trigger the flash tube to emit light. However, since the design of the trigger circuit of the trigger circuit is limited in size and is designed to be elongated, the air magnetic path becomes long and the efficiency is low, and the output voltage of the sub-Q stage coil cannot be effectively increased, so that the lamp cannot be normally illuminated. At the same time, the high voltage is triggered as the alternating voltage, and the high voltage is triggered to cause high voltage jump, which affects the stability of the flash unit. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a flash control circuit that enables a flash lamp of a flash to be normally illuminated and has stable performance. A flash control circuit for controlling the illumination of a tube. The lamp has a trigger pole. The flash control circuit includes a charging circuit and a trigger circuit. The charging circuit includes a storage capacitor and a charging capacitor. The charging circuit of claim 200931 charges the storage capacitor by receiving a first charging voltage and receives a second charging voltage to charge the charging capacitor. If the trigger circuit receives a trigger signal from the outside, the storage capacitor and the charging capacitor respectively form a voltage across the lamp. The trigger circuit triggers the lamp to conduct at the same time as the trigger voltage generated by the trigger pole of the lamp tube and the voltage formed at both ends of the lamp tube to cause the lamp tube to emit light. Compared with the prior art, the charging circuit 0 of the flash control circuit receives the first charging voltage and the second charging voltage to charge the storage capacitor and the charging capacitor, respectively. After the trigger circuit receives the trigger signal, the trigger circuit generates a trigger voltage at the trigger pole of the lamp tube and a voltage generated by the charging circuit at both ends of the lamp tube to turn on the anode and the cathode of the lamp tube to cause the light to be emitted. The flash control circuit uses the charging circuit to receive the second charging voltage to increase the voltage across the lamp, so that the flash can stably emit light. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a flash control circuit 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention for controlling a flash 10 to emit light. The flash control circuit 100 includes a charging circuit 20 and a trigger circuit 40. The charging circuit 20 is for charging the flash lamp 10. The trigger circuit 40 is for providing a trigger voltage to the flash lamp 10. The flash lamp 10 includes a lamp tube 12 and a storage capacitor C1. The tube 12 has an anode 124, a cathode 126 and a trigger electrode 128. The trigger electrode 128 is applied to the surface of the bulb 12. The lamp tube 12 is filled with helium gas, and the helium gas is ionized under high pressure at 200931153 to form a low impedance to turn on the anode 124 and the cathode 126 of the lamp tube 12. One end of the storage capacitor C1 is connected to the anode 124 of the bulb 12, and the other end of the storage capacitor C1 is grounded. The charging circuit 20 includes a first rectifying diode D1, a second rectifying diode 2, a charging capacitor C2, a first current limiting resistor R1, a second current limiting resistor R2, and a third current limiting circuit. Resistor R3. The anode of the first rectifying diode D1 is connected to a first charging terminal S1 for receiving a first charging voltage from the outside, and the cathode of the first rectifying diode D1 is respectively connected to one end of the first current limiting resistor R1. The anode 124 of the lamp tube 12 of the flash lamp 10 is connected. The anode of the second rectifying diode D2 is connected to a second charging terminal S2 for receiving a second charging voltage from the outside. The two ends of the second current limiting resistor R2 are respectively connected between the negative terminal of the second rectifying diode D2 and one end of the charging capacitor C2. The other end of the charging capacitor C2 is connected to the cathode 126 of the bulb 12. One end of the third current limiting resistor R3 is connected to the cathode 126 of the lamp tube 12, and the other end of the third current limiting resistor R3 is connected to one end of the grounding of the storage capacitor C1 to be grounded. The trigger circuit 40 includes a crystal triode Q1, an insulated gate bipolar transistor Q2, a diode D3, a trigger capacitor C3, a transformer T, and resistors R4 and R5. The transformer T includes a primary coil L1 and a primary coil L2. In the present embodiment, the transformation ratio of the primary coil L1 and the secondary coil L2 is set to 1:20. The base of the crystal triode Q1 is connected to the gate of the insulated gate bipolar transistor Q2 via a resistor R4 and is commonly connected to a trigger signal terminal S3 for receiving a trigger signal from the outside. After the user presses the camera button, the digital processor in the digital camera is the trigger signal of the trigger circuit 40 by judging that the signal that needs to be flashed is generated. The base of 200931153 of the crystal triode Q1 is connected to the emitter of the crystal triode Q1 via a resistor R 5 and the crystal is three poles. The emitter of the body Q1 is grounded. The collector of the crystal transistor Q1 is connected between the second current limiting resistor R2 of the charging circuit 20 and the charging capacitor C2. Insulated Gate The collector of the bipolar transistor Q2 is connected to the cathode of the diode D3. At the same time, the first current limiting resistor R1 is connected in series between the collector of the insulated gate bipolar transistor Q2 and the cathode of the first rectifying diode D1. The trigger capacitor C3 is connected in series between the collector of the insulated gate bipolar transistor Q2 and one of the primary windings L1 of the transformer T. The other end of the primary coil L1 is grounded. One end of the secondary coil L2 is connected to the trigger pole 128 of the bulb 12, and the other end of the secondary coil L2 is grounded. The anode of the diode D3 is connected to the cathode 126 of the bulb 12. In this embodiment, the first rectifying diode D1 in the charging circuit 20 receives the first charging voltage by the first charging terminal S1 and rectifies the alternating current into a direct current to charge the storage capacitor C1 of the flash lamp 10 to form at both ends thereof. Voltage U1. At the same time, the charging circuit formed by the first rectifying diode D1, the first current limiting resistor R1 and the triggering capacitor C3 charges the trigger capacitor C3 to form a voltage U2 at the two terminals thereof. The second rectifying diode D2 receives the second charging voltage through the second charging terminal S2 and rectifies the alternating current into direct current. The charging circuit formed by the second rectifying diode D2, the second current limiting resistor R2, the charging capacitor C2 and the third current limiting resistor R3 charges the charging capacitor C2 to form a voltage U3 at both ends thereof. In this embodiment, the second charging voltage is separately designed to provide a high voltage of 1-2 kV, that is, the voltage value of U3 can reach 1-2 kV. After the triode Q1 receives the trigger signal of the trigger signal terminal S3, one end of the charging capacitor C2 is grounded through the collector of the crystal triode Q1 to the cathode 126 of the lamp 12 of 200931153 to form an instantaneous negative voltage, that is, _U3. The storage capacitor is grounded at one end, and the other end of the storage capacitor C1 is connected to the anode 124 of the bulb 12. A positive voltage is formed, that is, υι. Then, between the anode 124 and the cathode 126 of the lamp tube 12, the superposed voltage U12=U1_(_U3)=U1+U3. The transformer τ forms an oscillating circuit with the contact power generation valley C3, the voltage of the trigger capacitor C3 is U2, and the transformation ratio of the primary coil L1 and the secondary coil L2 is 1: 2G, and the secondary coil L2 generates an instantaneous trigger high voltage 20XU2. At this time, the lamp tube 12 generates a low impedance to the lamp 12 in the secondary coil ❹L2, which generates an instantaneously triggered high voltage 20xU2 and an instantaneous superimposed voltage U12 between the anode 124 and the cathode 111 of the lamp tube 12. The anode 124 and the cathode 126. Thereafter, the storage capacitor cn continues to discharge the bulb 12 to cause the bulb 12 to emit light. Ο 200 reviewing FIG. 2, which is the flash control circuit S3 of the second embodiment is used in the electronic skirt with the pre-flash function, that is, the trigger signal end-line one-time under-pre-flash trigger signal and the main flash trigger signal are triggered. The flashing mode member flashes and a main flash. The flash control circuit 200 is basically the same as the first implementation of the ":" light control circuit, except that the connection between the second negative electrode and the emitter of the crystal triode Q1 is no longer described in the capacitor C4'. In the same manner, in the mode of the capacitor C2, the capacitance value of the auxiliary charging capacitor C4 is greater than the charging capacitor c. The charging voltage of the auxiliary charging capacitor C4 is greater than the charging C2 charging. The charging voltage facilitates the auxiliary charging capacitor C4 as a charging capacitor; the first charging voltage terminal S2 receives the second charging voltage and rectifies the current to 200931153 to charge the auxiliary charging capacitor C4 to form a voltage U4 at both ends thereof. After the trigger signal terminal S3 receives the pre-flash trigger signal to cause the lamp 12 to emit light, the charging capacitor C2 is discharged. Since the interval between the pre-flash trigger signal and the main flash signal is very high, the second charging voltage terminal S2 cannot charge the charging capacitor C2 again. At this time, the circuit formed by the auxiliary charging capacitor C4 and the second current limiting resistor R2, the charging capacitor C2, and the third current limiting resistor R3 charges the charging capacitor C2, and both ends of the charging capacitor C2 have a voltage us, and U5 =U4. The storage capacitor C1 still has a voltage u6 after the pre-flash, and the voltage is said to be smaller than U1, that is, U6 < U1. At this time, the trigger capacitor C3 still has a voltage, and U7=U6. When the trigger signal terminal S3 receives the main flash trigger signal, one end of the charging capacitor c2 is grounded to the cathode 126 of the lamp tube 12 via the collector of the crystal triode Q1 to form an instantaneous negative voltage, that is, -U5. One end of the storage capacitor C1 is grounded, and the other end of the storage capacitor C1 forms a positive voltage at the anode 124 of the bulb 12, that is, U6. Then, the instantaneous voltage between the anode 124 and the cathode 126 of the lamp tube 12 is superposed. The voltage U14=U6-(-U5)=U6+U5. The trigger pole 128 of the lamp tube 12 triggers the high voltage 20U7 at the moment of the generation of the secondary coil L2 and the instantaneous superposition voltage U14 between the anode 124 and the cathode 126 of the lamp tube 12, and the helium ionization in the lamp tube 12 forms a low impedance. The anode 124 of the bulb 12 is electrically connected to the cathode 126. Thereafter, the storage capacitor C1 continues to discharge the bulb 12 to cause the bulb 12 to illuminate again. It can be understood that if the voltage difference between the anode 124 and the cathode 126 of the lamp tube 12 obtained by the flash control circuit can reach the self-flash voltage of the lamp 12, 11 200931153, the transformer T and the trigger capacitor C3 are not required to oscillate to generate an instantaneous trigger high voltage. • The lamp 12 can be illuminated. At this time, the transformer τ and the trigger capacitor C3 can be removed to save costs. The charging circuit of the flash control circuit of the prior art has received the first charging voltage and the first charging voltage to charge the energy storage valley and the charging capacitor by the first charging terminal and the second charging terminal, respectively. After the trigger circuit receives the trigger signal, the trigger circuit generates a trigger voltage at the trigger pole of the lamp tube. The same value of the storage capacitor generates a positive voltage at the anode of the lamp tube and the charging capacitor generates a negative voltage at the cathode of the lamp tube. The voltage difference between the anode and the cathode of the lamp is increased, and the trigger voltage is used to make the anode and cathode of the lamp conduct to emit light. The flash control circuit uses the charging circuit to receive the second charging voltage to increase the voltage between the anode and the cathode of the lamp, so that the flash lamp can stably emit light. In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, and Luli applied. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and equivalent modifications or changes made by those who are familiar with the present invention in the spirit of the invention shall be included in the following patent application scope.
