Description

201220925 六、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係有關led的驅動方法及驅動電路,尤其有關 適用於白光LED ( W LED )的三端可控矽調光器的驅動方 法及驅動電路。 【先前技術】 如今WLED照明技術的應用已經越來越廣泛,並且以 WLED取代傳統的燈泡照明已經成爲WLED照明技術發展的 一個主要趨勢。然而採用WLED取代傳統燈泡照明的一個 困難點在於WLED驅動電路必須與標準的三端可控矽調光 器相容以達成在照明過程中對WLED進行亮度調節,這不 僅是用戶的需求,而且可以延長WLED的使用壽命》 傳統的三端可控矽調光器都是爲純電阻性負載燈,諸 如白熾燈和碘鎢燈等設計的。由於WLED並不呈現電阻性 負載特性,因而採用傳統的三端可控矽調光器對WLED進 行調光並不能達到良好的效果。如圖1所示爲已知技術中 將傳統的三端可控矽調光電阻性燈照明驅動結構使用於驅 動WLED的驅動電路示意圖。該驅動電路100包括:三端可 控矽調光器101、電子變壓器103'整流器105和WLED驅動 器107,用以驅動WLED 109。三端可控矽調光器1〇1透過 調節其內部之三端雙向可控矽開關的導通時間以控制供電 交流電源(通常爲U0V-220V的交流電)向驅動電路100傳 輸的能量,以輸出一個導通角受控的高壓交流電。所述三 -5- 201220925 端雙向可控矽開關在一個供電週期內的導通時間用相應的 角度表示即爲導通角。通常所述三端雙向可控矽開關的開 通係由一個控制信號來予以控制,當三端雙向可控矽開關 中的電流減小到某一値時即自動關斷,因此控制信號到來 的時間決定了三端雙向可控矽開關的導通時間。電子變壓 器103接收所述高壓交流電並將其轉換爲低壓交流電。整 流器1 05將所述低壓交流電整流後輸出低壓直流電,用以 爲WLED驅動器107供電以驅動WLED 109操作。在調光過 程中,通常三端可控矽調光器101輸出的高壓交流電並非 均勻對稱的,那麼電子變壓器103輸出的低壓交流電也是 非對稱的,經過整流器1 05處理輸出的低壓直流信號中會 包含50 Hz的低頻交流電壓紋波,如果三端可控矽調光器 101輸出的高壓交流電在調光過程中發生某些導通角丟失 ,亦即,在某個供電週期內,如果控制三端雙向可控矽開 關開通的控制信號到來較晚,這樣三端雙向可控矽開關的 導通時間就較短,亦即,導通角較小,以至於三端雙向可 控矽開關未能及時完全導通,那麼這個較小的導通角就丟 失了,這樣整流器105輸出的低壓直流信號中還會包含低 於50 Hz的更低頻交流電壓紋波。這些50 Hz或者更低頻的 交流電壓紋波被輸入至WLED驅動器107會導致WLED 109 中有50 Hz或者更低頻的交流電流流過,從而引起WLED在 調光過程中閃燥,這是在實際應用中應當消除的。 因此,爲了避免調光過程中引起WLED閃爍,檢測三 端可控調光器的導通角並將其處理,以便調節WLED的亮 201220925 度是很重要的。 【發明內容】 本發明的目的在於解決現有三端可控矽調光器因存在 低頻交流電而造成調光過程閃爍的問題,提供一種適用於 三端可控矽調光器的WLED驅動方法及驅動電路,該驅動 方法及驅動電路可以檢測三端可控矽調光器的導通角並將 其應用於WLED的亮度調節,從而實現寬範圍、平滑無閃 爍的WLED調光。 本發明的另一目的在於提供應用於上述調光器中的電 子變壓器,以檢測其導通角並應用於WLED的亮度調節, 從而實現寬範圍、平滑無閃爍的WLED調光。 本發明採用的技術方案如下: —種適用於三端可控矽調光器的WLED驅動電路,包 括: 三端可控矽調光器,用以耦接高壓交流供電電源,以 輸出導通角受控的高壓交流電; 電子變壓器,用以接收所述高壓交流電,以輸出PWM 低壓直流電; WLED驅動器,用以接收所述PWM低壓直流電,以輸 出WLED驅動信號;以及 所述電子變壓器檢測所述高壓交流電的導通角,並且 基於該導通角而調節輸出的PW Μ低壓直流電的占空比。 在本發明的一個較佳實施例中,所述電子變壓器可以 201220925 包括:導通角檢測模組,導通角調變模組和變換器模組。 其中,所述導通角檢測模組,用以檢測所述高壓交流電的 導通角,基於所述導通角,以產生第一 PWM信號; 所述導通角調變模組,用以接收所述第一 PWM信號’ 將其濾波而產生反映第一 PWM信號之直流平均値的直流電 壓信號,並將所述直流電壓信號與一個三角波信號做比較 而輸出第二PWM信號;以及 所述變換器模組,受所述第二PWM信號所控制,將所 述高壓交流電轉換爲所述PWM低壓直流電。 最好,所述第一PWM信號的頻率和占空比與所述導通 角信號的頻率和占空比一致;及所述第二PWM信號的占空 比受所述導通角信號所調節,其頻率高於所述導通角信號 的頻率。 所述導通角檢測模組可以採用現有技術中的多種導通 角檢測電路結構來予以實現,例如根據本發明的一個實施 例,所述導通角檢測模組包括整流電路和類線性穩壓器電 路,其中, 所述整流電路,用以接收所述高壓交流電並將其整流 爲高壓直流電;以及 所述類線性穩壓器電路,包括至少一個穩壓二極體和 一個可控開關,所述穩壓二極體的陰極經由第一電阻器而 耦接所述高壓直流電,其陽極係耦接到地,所述可控開關 的閘極係耦接所述穩壓二極體的陰極,其汲極係耦接所述 高壓直流電,其源極經由第二電阻器而被耦接到地,所述 -8- 201220925 可控開關的源極用作爲所述導通角檢測模組的輸出端。 另外,在本發明的不同實施例中,還可以採用過零檢 測比較器電路來替換所述類線性穩壓器電路,所述過零檢 測比較器電路接收並處理所述高壓直流電,以輸出所述第 一 PWM信號,且當所述高壓直流電大於零時,所述第一 PWM信號爲高位準,而當所述高壓直流電降爲零,所述第 一 PWM信號爲低位準。 所述導通角調變模組可以包括:低通濾波器,用以將 所述第一 PWM信號濾波,以輸出所述直流電壓信號;以及 PWM比較器,用以將所述直流電壓信號與所述三角波 信號做比較而輸出所述第二PWM信號。 所述變換器模組可以是任何將高壓交流電轉換爲低壓 直流電的AC-DC變換器。 —種適用於三端可控矽調光器的WLED驅動方法,包 括: 接收高壓交流供電電源,以輸出導通角受控的高壓交 流電; 將所述高壓交流電轉變爲PWM低壓直流電;以及 將所述PWM低壓直流電輸入WLED驅動器以調節其驅 動 WLED, 其中,將所述高壓交流電轉變爲P W Μ低壓直流電還包 括檢測所述局壓父流電的導通角,並基於該導通角而調節 輸出的PWM低壓直流電的占空比。 根據本發明的一個較佳實施例,將所述高壓交流電轉 -9 - 201220925 變爲所述PWM低壓直流電的步驟包括: 檢測所述高壓交流電的導通角,並產生第一 PWM信號 將所述第一 PWM信號濾波,以產生反映第一 PWM信號 之直流平均値的直流電壓信號; 將所述直流電壓信號與一個三角波信號做比較,以產 生第二PWM信號;以及 基於所述第二PWM信號的控制,將所述高壓交流電轉 變爲所述PWM低壓直流電。 最好,所述第一 PWM信號的頻率和占空比與所述導通 角信號的頻率和占空比一致;及所述第二PWM信號的占空 比受所述導通角信號所調節,其頻率高於所述導通角信號 的頻率。 根據本發明的一個較佳實施例,透過導通角檢測模組 以檢測所述高壓交流電的導通角,所述導通角檢測模組包 括整流電路和類線性穩壓器電路,其中, 所述整流電路,用以接收所述高壓交流電並將其整流 爲高壓直流電;以及 所述類線性穩壓器電路,包括至少一個穩壓二極體和 一個可控開關,所述穩壓二極體的陰極經由第一電阻器而 耦接所述高壓直流電,其陽極係耦接到地,所述可控開關 的閘極係耦接所述穩壓二極體的陰極,其汲極係耦接所述 高壓直流電,其源極經由第二電阻器而被耦接到地,所述 可控開關的源極用作爲所述導通角檢測模組的輸出端。 -10- 201220925 另外,在本發明的不同實施例中,還可以採用過零檢 測比較器電路來替換所述類線性穩壓器電路’ # $ @胃# 測比較器電路接收並處理所述高壓直流電,以輸出所述第 一 PWM信號,且當所述高壓直流電大於零時’所述第一 PWM信號爲高位準,而當所述高壓直流電降爲零’所述第 一 PWM信號爲低位準。 根據本發明的一個較佳實施例,採用低通濾波器對所 述第一PWM信號濾波。 根據本發明的一個較佳實施例,透過PWM比較器以接 收所述直流電壓信號和所述三角波信號,以輸出所述第二 PWM信號。 根據本發明的一個較佳實施例,透過AC-DC變換器以 接收所述高壓交流電和所述第二PWM信號,將所述高壓交 流電轉變爲所述PWM低壓直流電。 本發明還提供一種電子變壓器,接收高壓交流電,且 輸出PWM低壓直流電,該電子變壓器包括: 導通角檢測模組,用以檢測所述高壓交流電的導通角 :以及 控制模組,基於檢測出的導通角信號,以調節輸出的 PWM低壓直流電的占空比。 本發明所提供的一種電子變壓器,所述控制模組包括 導通角調變模組和變換器模組,其中 所述導通角檢測模組,基於所述檢測出的導通角信號 ’以產生第一PWM信號; -11 - 201220925 所述導通角調變模組’用以接收所述第一PWM信號’ 將其濾波而產生反映第一 PWM信號之直流平均値的直流電 壓信號,並將所述直流電壓信號與三角波信號做比較而輸 出第二PWM信號;以及 所述變換器模組,受所述第二PWM信號所控制,將所 述高壓交流電轉換爲所述PWM低壓直流電。 本發明提供的一種電子變壓器’所述第一 PWM信號的 頻率和占空比與所述導通角信號的頻率和占空比一致;且 所述第二PWM信號的占空比受所述導通角信號所調節,其 頻率高於所述導通角信號的頻率。 本發明提供的一種電子變壓器,所述導通角檢測模組 包括整流電路和類線性穩壓器電路,其中, 所述整流電路,用以接收所述高壓交流電並將其整流 爲高壓直流電; 所述類線性穩壓器電路,包括至少一個穩壓二極體和 一個可控開關,所述穩壓二極體的陰極經由第一電阻器而 耦接所述高壓直流電,其陽極係耦接到地,所述可控開關 的閘極係耦接所述穏壓二極體的陰極,其汲極係耦接所述 高壓直流電,其源極經由第二電阻器而被耦接到地,所述 可控開關的源極用作爲所述導通角檢測模組的輸出端。201220925 VI. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a driving method and a driving circuit for a LED, and more particularly to a driving method and a driving circuit for a three-terminal controllable dimming device suitable for a white LED (W LED ) . [Prior Art] Nowadays, the application of WLED lighting technology has become more and more extensive, and replacing traditional bulb lighting with WLED has become a major trend in the development of WLED lighting technology. However, one of the difficulties in replacing traditional bulb illumination with WLED is that the WLED driver circuit must be compatible with the standard three-terminal controllable dimmer to achieve brightness adjustment of the WLED during illumination, which is not only the user's needs, but also Extending the service life of WLEDs Traditional three-terminal controllable dimmers are designed for purely resistive load lamps such as incandescent lamps and iodine-tungsten lamps. Since the WLED does not exhibit resistive load characteristics, the use of a conventional three-terminal controllable dimmer to dim the WLED does not achieve good results. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a driving circuit for driving a WLED using a conventional three-terminal controllable dimming resistive lamp illumination driving structure in the prior art. The drive circuit 100 includes a three-terminal controllable dimmer 101, an electronic transformer 103' rectifier 105, and a WLED driver 107 for driving the WLED 109. The three-terminal controllable dimming device 1〇1 controls the conduction time of the internal three-terminal bidirectional controllable switch to control the energy transmitted to the driving circuit 100 by the AC power supply (usually U0V-220V AC) to output A high-voltage alternating current with a conduction angle controlled. The conduction time of the three-5-201220925 terminal bidirectional controllable switch in one power supply period is represented by a corresponding angle. Generally, the opening of the three-terminal bidirectional controllable switch is controlled by a control signal, and when the current in the three-terminal bidirectional controllable switch is reduced to a certain turn, it is automatically turned off, so the time when the control signal arrives The on-time of the three-terminal bidirectional controllable switch is determined. The electronic transformer 103 receives the high voltage alternating current and converts it into low voltage alternating current. The rectifier 105 rectifies the low voltage alternating current and outputs low voltage direct current for powering the WLED driver 107 to drive the WLED 109 to operate. In the dimming process, usually the high-voltage alternating current outputted by the three-terminal controllable dimmer 101 is not uniformly symmetrical, and the low-voltage alternating current outputted by the electronic transformer 103 is also asymmetric, and the low-voltage direct current signal processed by the rectifier 105 will be Contains 50 Hz low-frequency AC voltage ripple. If the high-voltage AC output from the three-terminal controllable dimmer 101 occurs during the dimming process, some conduction angle loss occurs, that is, within a certain power supply cycle, if the three-terminal control is performed. The control signal of the bidirectional controllable switch is late, so that the conduction time of the three-terminal bidirectional controllable switch is shorter, that is, the conduction angle is small, so that the three-terminal bidirectional controllable switch is not fully turned on in time. Then, the smaller conduction angle is lost, so that the low-voltage DC signal output by the rectifier 105 also contains a lower-frequency AC voltage ripple of less than 50 Hz. These 50 Hz or lower frequency AC voltage ripples are input to the WLED driver 107, which causes a 50 Hz or lower frequency AC current flowing through the WLED 109, causing the WLED to flash during the dimming process, which is practical. Should be eliminated. Therefore, in order to avoid the WLED flicker during the dimming process, it is important to detect the conduction angle of the three-terminal controllable dimmer and process it to adjust the brightness of the WLED 201220925. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to solve the problem that the existing three-terminal controllable dimmer is flickering due to the presence of low frequency alternating current, and provide a WLED driving method and driving suitable for the three-terminal controllable dimming device.

In the following description, some specific details, such as specific circuit configurations in the embodiments and specific parameters of these circuit elements, are used to provide a better understanding of the embodiments of the invention. In this technology, he is actually being able to be succinct and succinct, and he is very succinct, and he lacks the deficiencies of the affair, and the tactics of the syllabus. 2 is a schematic diagram of a three-terminal controllable dimming W LED driving circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. The drive circuit 200 mainly includes a three-terminal controllable dimmer 202, an electronic transformer 204, and a WLED driver 206 for driving the WLED lamp 208. The three-terminal controllable dimming device 202 is configured to receive the high-voltage alternating current supply voltage U1 and generate a high-voltage alternating current U2 with a conduction angle controlled; the electronic transformer 204 detects a conduction angle of the high-voltage alternating current U2, And converting the high voltage alternating current U2 into a PWM (pulse width modulation) low voltage direct current U3 whose duty ratio is adjusted by the conduction angle; the WLED driver 206 receives the PWM low voltage direct current U3 and outputs a WLED drive A current ILED for driving the WLED 208 operation, as shown in FIG. 3, a three-terminal steerable dimming WLED driving circuit 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the electronic transformer 204 comprising three main portions: a conduction angle The detection module, the conduction angle modulation module and the converter module. The conduction angle detecting module is coupled to the output end of the three-terminal controllable dimming device 202 for receiving the high-voltage alternating current U2 and outputting the high-voltage alternating current U2. a first PWM signal Ua of the conduction angle; the conduction angle modulation module is coupled to the output end of the conduction angle detection module for receiving the first PWM signal Ua and performing low-pass filtering thereof Generating a DC voltage signal Ude, and comparing the DC voltage signal Udc with a triangular wave signal to output a second PWM signal Um; the converter module is coupled to the three-terminal controllable dimmer An output of the 202 and an output of the conduction angle modulation module to receive the high voltage alternating current U2 and the second PWM signal Um, respectively, and controlled by the second PWM signal Um The alternating current U2 is converted to the PWM low voltage direct current U3. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing main signal waveforms of a three-terminal controllable dimming WLED driving circuit in a normal operation according to an embodiment of the present invention. The operation principle of the three-terminal controllable dimming WLED driving circuit 200 proposed by the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the waveform diagram shown in FIG. In the dimming process, the three-terminal controllable dimmer 202 receives the high-voltage AC supply voltage U1, and adjusts the on-time of the internal three-terminal bidirectional controllable switch so that the high-voltage AC supply voltage U 1 is in one Energy is transferred to the drive circuit 200 only during the on-time of the triac. Generally, the opening of the three-terminal bidirectional controllable switch is controlled by a control signal. When the current in the three-terminal bidirectional controllable switch is reduced to a certain turn, the switch is automatically turned off, so the timing of the arrival of the control signal is determined. The on-time of the three-terminal bidirectional controllable switch. The three-terminal bidirectional controllable split -15-201220925 The on-time in a power supply cycle is represented by a corresponding angle. Therefore, the three-terminal controllable dimmer 222 processes the high-voltage AC supply voltage U1 to output a high-voltage alternating current U2 whose conduction angle is controlled. The electronic transformer 204 detects the conduction angle through the conduction angle detecting module, and generates a first PWM signal Ua such that a frequency and a duty ratio of the first PWM signal Ua and a frequency of the conduction angle signal Same as duty cycle. The first PWM signal Ua is input to the conduction angle modulation module, and is subjected to low-pass filtering to generate a DC voltage signal Ud. The DC voltage signal Udc reflects the DC average 値 of the first PWM signal Ua, and compares the DC voltage signal Ude with a triangular wave signal to generate a second PWM signal Um, where the second PWM signal Um The duty cycle is regulated by the conduction angle and its frequency will be much higher than the frequency of the conduction angle signal. The second PWM signal Um is input to the converter module to control it to convert the high voltage AC voltage signal U2 into the PWM low voltage DC U3. The frequency and duty ratio of the PWM low-voltage direct current U3 are consistent with the frequency and duty ratio of the second PWM signal Um, and thus, the duty ratio thereof reflects the conduction angle of the high-voltage alternating current U2, and the amplitude thereof is adjusted. At a predetermined setting, such as 12 V, the WLED driver 206 is powered. When the PWM low voltage direct current U3 is at a high level, the WLED driver 206 provides a constant operating current to the WLED 208; when the PWM low voltage direct current U3 is at a low level, the WLED driver 206 does not supply power to the WLED 208, and no current flows in the WLED 2 08. Over. Therefore, the three-terminal controllable dimmer 202' is adjusted to change the conduction angle of the output high-voltage alternating current U2, that is, the -16-201220925 duty ratio of the PWM low-voltage direct current U3 output by the electronic transformer 204 can be adjusted. , thereby controlling the average current magnitude provided by the WLED driver 206 for the WLED 208 to achieve adjustment of the brightness of the WLED 206. Since the frequency and duty ratio of the PWM low-voltage direct current U3 output by the electronic transformer 204 in the embodiment of the present invention are consistent with the frequency and duty ratio of the second PWM signal Um, the frequency thereof is much higher than The frequency of the conduction angle signal, so that the pWM low-voltage direct current U3 does not include an alternating current voltage ripple with a frequency of 50 Hz or less, and the WLED tube 208 does not flicker during the dimming process. phenomenon. In various embodiments of the present invention, the conduction angle detecting module can be implemented by using a plurality of conduction angle detecting circuit structures in the prior art. FIG. 5 is a circuit diagram showing a conduction angle detecting module according to an embodiment of the present invention. The circuit 500 includes a rectifier circuit 501 and a linear-like regulator circuit 502. Wherein, the rectifier circuit 501 is composed of four high voltage resistant diodes D1, D2, D3 and D4, the series combination of D1 and D2 and the series combination of D3 and D4 are coupled in parallel. Between the power supply line L1 and the ground, and the cathodes of the D1 and D3 are coupled to the anodes of the power supply lines L1, D2 and D4, and the anode of the high-voltage alternating current U2 is coupled to the anode of the D1 and The cathode of D2 is coupled to the anode of D3 and the cathode of D4; the linear regulator circuit 502 includes a first resistor R1, a first voltage regulator diode D5, and a second voltage regulator diode The body D6, the transistor Q1, the second resistor R2 and the capacitor C1, one end of the first resistor R1 is coupled to the power supply line L1, and the other end is coupled to the first voltage regulator diode D5 a cathode of the first voltage stabilizing diode D5 coupled to a cathode of the second voltage stabilizing diode D 6 and a gate of the transistor Q 1 , the second voltage stabilizing diode The anode of the body D6 is coupled to the ground electrode of the transistor Q 1 and coupled to the power supply line L1, and the source thereof is coupled to the ground through the second resistor R2. Capacitor C 1 The two ends of the second resistor R2 are coupled in parallel, and the source of the transistor Q1 and the non-ground terminal of the second resistor R2 are used together as an output terminal of the circuit 500. The operation principle of the circuit 500 is as follows: after the high-voltage alternating current U2 is rectified via the rectifying circuit 501, the positive half-wave remains as it is, and the negative half-wave is inverted to a positive half-wave, and is loaded on the power supply line. The line voltage UL1 on L 1 is as shown in FIG. 6; the linear regulator circuit 502 is powered by the line voltage UL1, when the voltage on the first voltage stabilizing diode D5 reaches its opposite When the breakdown voltage is applied, the voltage on the second voltage stabilizing diode D6 starts to rise, and the output voltage Ua of the conduction angle detecting circuit 500 is equal to the voltage on the voltage stabilizing diode D6 minus the gate of the transistor Q1. The pole-source voltage, since the transistor Q 1 is operating in the linear region, the gate-source voltage is small, so Ua is close to the voltage on the voltage regulator diode D6; when the voltage regulator diode D6 After the upper voltage also reaches its reverse breakdown voltage, the voltage on D6 is clamped to its reverse breakdown voltage, while Ua is also clamped at a potential close to the reverse breakdown voltage of D6. (D6 reverse breakdown voltage minus Q1 gate-source voltage). The reverse breakdown voltage of the voltage regulator diodes D5 and D6 is generally small, and the rising edge of the Ua is substantially the same as the conduction time of the three-terminal bidirectional controllable switch in the three-terminal controllable dimmer 222. The falling edge of U a is basically the same as the turn-off timing of the three-terminal bidirectional controllable switch. When the three-terminal bidirectional controllable switch is turned off, the line voltage UL1 becomes zero, then Ua will also jump. Zero, so Ua is a pulse signal whose pulse width is consistent with the on-time of the three-terminal bidirectional controllable switch, thus realizing the detection of the conduction angle of the high-voltage alternating current U2. It should be understood by those skilled in the art of -18 - 201220925 that the circuit 500 can also have various equivalent changes, for example, removing the first voltage stabilizing diode D 5, and still achieving the same conduction angle detecting function, the electric Crystal Q 1 can also be other controllable switching devices such as BJT. In addition, those skilled in the art should understand that in various embodiments of the present invention, a zero-crossing comparator circuit can also be used to replace the linear-like regulator circuit 502 in the circuit 500, and the line voltage is UL1 is processed by a zero-detection comparator circuit, and the first PWM signal Ua' is output. Once the line voltage ul 1 is greater than zero, the Ua signal output by the zero-crossing detection comparator circuit jumps to a high level once the line When the voltage UL 1 falls to zero, the Ua signal outputted by the zero-crossing detection comparator circuit jumps to a low level. Therefore, the pulse width of the first PWM signal reflects the conduction angle of the high-voltage AC signal U2. In a different embodiment of the present invention, the conduction angle modulation module includes a low pass filter and a PWM comparator, wherein the low pass filter is configured to receive the first PWM signal Ua and convert it into a The DC voltage signal Udc is received by the PWM comparator and compared with a triangular wave signal to output the second PWM signal Um. In various embodiments of the invention, the converter module can be any AC-DC converter that converts high voltage alternating current to low voltage direct current.
