Compared with the traditional white heat bulb, the high-intensity light-emitting diode has the advantages of power saving, long service life, high durability and fast response speed. At present, in addition to general lighting, commodity lighting, automotive lighting, outdoor advertising billboards and traffic information display, the popular applications of high-intensity LEDs are also due to the advancement of consumer electronics products, resulting in various types of LCD backlight modules, The mobile phone or digital camera flash module has become a highly integrated project. When using a light-emitting diode, since most of the current is converted into heat, and only a small part of the current is converted into light, the current design of the light-emitting diode must be more cautious, and among them high The current consumed by the luminance LED is the highest. However, the light-emitting diode has a temperature-limited rating in the operating mode. If the heat is insufficient and used for a long time in a high temperature state, the LED will be accelerated and aged, so that the luminous efficiency is lowered and the life is large. In order to shorten, how to influence the high temperature of the light-emitting diode is a problem worth exploring. In the prior art, in order to achieve the heat dissipation effect of the light-emitting module using the light-emitting diode as the light source, most of the design is to estimate the total heat dissipation 6 1337334 in advance to provide a method for automatically adjusting the light-emitting power of the light-emitting module. The method includes: first receiving a first power source, and generating a temperature measurement value according to the ambient temperature; and further converting the first power source into a second power source according to the temperature measurement value, and finally passing the second power source In order to adjust the level of the light-emitting power of the light-emitting module. The temperature sensing unit described above may be, for example, a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor, using its sensitivity to temperature to detect temperature, and the higher the temperature, the resistance value. The smaller the property, the different resistance values are produced as the temperature changes. The above summary, the following detailed description and the annexed drawings are intended to further illustrate the manner, the Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be described in the following description and drawings.

The light-emitting diode module 1 is covered by the outer sleeve 3 and electrically connected to the power control board 2. In the LED module 1, at least one LED die 12 is die-bonded on the metal substrate 11; and the power control panel 2 includes a temperature sensing unit 22 to The power control board 2 is combined with the LED module 1 to detect the temperature of the environment in which the LED die 12 is located by physically contacting the metal substrate 11 and generating different temperature amounts at any time. The measured value is used to automatically adjust the luminous power of the light-emitting module. 8 丄 337334 Please refer to the third figure, which is a preferred embodiment of the illuminating module for automatically adjusting the illuminating power of the present invention.

In addition, the power control board 2 is electrically connected to the LED module j, and further includes a power conversion unit 21 and a temperature sensing unit 22'. wherein the temperature sensing unit 22 is electrically connected to the power conversion unit. In addition to the unit 21, the metal substrate 11 in the LED module 1 can be directly physically connected to detect the thermal energy generated by the LED diode 12 on the metal substrate 11 or the cause. The normal temperature caused by the external temperature change is converted to the temperature measurement value generated by the temperature sensing unit 22 itself. In addition, the power conversion unit 21 is configured to receive a first power source 211 and switch the output of the different second power source 212 to adjust the power due to the different temperature measurement values generated by the temperature sensing unit 22. Therefore, the height of the light-emitting power of the light-emitting module can be automatically adjusted by sensing the temperature, so that the light-emitting module can be cooled when the temperature is too high, and the light-emitting power can be relatively increased when the temperature is low. The temperature sensing unit 22 described above may be, for example, a thermistor, a thermal diode, or a thermocouple, etc., wherein the thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient (Negative Temperature Coefficient, NTC) Thermistors' and their packaging can be surface mount type (SMT) or plug-in type (DIP) package type 9 1337334.

Then, the first power source 211 is converted and outputted to a second power source 212 (S4〇5;) according to the temperature measurement value through a power conversion unit 21. Finally, the effect of automatically adjusting the light-emission power of the light-emitting module (S409) is achieved by outputting the difference of the second power source 212. " , 凊 Refer to the fifth figure, which is one of the power control boards of the present invention, and the circuit II' is shown in the figure as the 'buck conversion circuit 5' is converted from the buck to the U1 and its peripheral lines. The thermistor 51 is formed to be combined with the negative temperature coefficient to convert the input voltage 501 into a voltage drop voltage of 5〇2. Among them, the pressure-reducing 11 U1 money over-presses the pressure of the original cans, and the negative temperature coefficient thermistor 51 is used to detect the temperature of the current brother and automatically change its resistance value, A different feedback voltage 503 ' is generated to adjust the voltage drop of the output of the buck converter U1 to be 502 °. Therefore, by the change of the voltage drop voltage 502, the illumination of the entire LED die 12 is automatically adjusted. power. The selection of the negative temperature coefficient thermistor 51 must be such that the voltage drop voltage 5〇2 outputted by the gradual converter U1 is driven under the illuminating diode die 12 to enable the illuminating diode crystal. The operating temperature of the pellet 12 is maintained within the rated operating limit. Even if the temperature detected by the negative temperature coefficient thermistor 51 is as high as the upper limit value, a minimum voltage is fed back to reduce the output of the voltage drop voltage 502. Further, the light-emitting power of the light-emitting diode die 12 is minimized to perform temperature drop. Conversely, if the ambient temperature detected by the negative temperature coefficient thermistor 51 is low, a large resistance value is generated, and a large voltage drop voltage of 5 〇 2 is outputted by 2, so that the light emitting diode is made. The bulk crystal grains 12 generate a large luminous power. In summary, according to the above technical means, the present invention automatically adjusts the power and power of the light-emitting module by the temperature sensitivity characteristic of the temperature sensing unit 22, not only to reduce the luminous power when the temperature is high. The cooling function stays in accordance with the illuminating one-pole crystal grain, and relatively increases the luminous efficiency at a lower temperature, and further includes the following advantages: 1. Reduce the volume: actively reduce the luminous power through the circuit design method, not only can Actively adjust the luminous power to adjust the temperature, not to reduce the temperature with the bulky heat dissipation medium, and reduce the volume of the entire lighting module. 2. Increasing the night illumination: Since the normal temperature also affects one of the rings when the temperature sensing unit 22 detects the ambient temperature, the power conversion unit 21 can provide a larger power supply when the night temperature is lower to relatively increase the entire illumination mode. The luminous power of the group increases the illumination at night.
