Synchronously controlled tandem luminaire

The present invention relates to a serially connected luminaire capable of synchronous control, in particular, the first rectifying unit and the second rectifying unit respectively generate the first and second rectifying power sources to supply the control unit and the switching unit, thereby receiving an external power source for use. To illuminate the output power of the lighting unit, a synchronous control serial connection function is provided.

In the field of illumination, if multiple lamps are required to increase the brightness of the overall emitted light, or when a large area of light source is provided, it is generally implemented in series. However, in the past, when the luminaires are used in series, in order to achieve the synchronous operation of the switch, the main control/slave lamps must be connected in series, that is, a main control luminaire includes a control switch and more than one driven luminaire. The main control lamp has a switch for controlling the driven lamp.

However, the above-mentioned conventional technology has the disadvantage that both the main control and the follow-up two lamps are required, which not only increases the design difficulty, but also causes various types of products due to the demand of different sizes and color temperatures, which leads to troubles in production inventory and installation and construction. In addition, the two main control and slave lamps will also cause confusion to users, which is not conducive to market penetration.

Furthermore, although the existing manufacturers have introduced a single-designed luminaire, the purpose of synchronous control can be achieved by serial connection. However, after the user is connected in series, the switching unit on each luminaire must be set to be master or slave. That is to say, the first-level luminaire is set as the main control, and the other luminaires are set to be driven, even if the use has been greatly simplified, the user still has to correctly set the master or slave operation mode for the general consumers. It is still easy to set errors and not work, making the market less acceptable.

Therefore, there is a need for an innovative and single-designed tandem luminaire comprising an input power terminal, an output power terminal, a first rectifying unit, a second rectifying unit, a control unit, a switching unit, a switching unit and a housing, in particular an input power terminal. Receive external power from the AC, and the first and second The rectifying unit respectively uses the external power source to generate the first and second rectifying power sources to supply the control unit and the switching unit, and the switching unit is operated by the user to generate the switching signal, and then the control unit controls the switching unit to transmit the second rectifying according to the switching signal. The power supply acts as an output power source to illuminate the lighting unit, providing synchronous control of the serial connection function, and multiple serially connected lamps can be assembled by simple serial connection, which is convenient to use, and only needs to use a single designed series connection lamp. That is, to solve the above problems of the conventional technology.

The main purpose of this creation is to provide a serially connected luminaire that can be controlled synchronously. It has a synchronous control serial connection function, which can be used to receive an external power supply to provide output power, thereby illuminating the illuminating unit, which mainly includes an input power terminal and an output power terminal. a first rectifying unit, a second rectifying unit, a control unit, a switching unit, a switching unit, and a casing, wherein the input power terminal and the output power terminal are located on a surface of the casing, such as two ends, and the first rectifying unit The two rectifying unit, the control unit, the switching unit and the switching unit can be housed in the housing to provide isolation protection.

The input power terminal can receive an external power source, such as an AC input power source of the mains, and the first and second rectifying units are connected to the input power terminal, wherein the first rectifying unit can receive the external power source to perform the first rectification process, thereby generating the first A rectified power supply, and the second rectifying unit receives the external power supply and performs a second rectification process to generate a second rectified power supply. In particular, the voltages of the first rectified power supply and the second rectified power supply are opposite in polarity.

Moreover, the control unit is electrically connected to the first rectifying unit, operates by using the first rectified power source as an electric source, and the switching unit is electrically connected to the second rectifying unit to control an operation mode of the power output from the second rectified power source.

Further, the switching unit is electrically connected to the control unit, and generates a switching signal for switching an operation mode of the control unit, wherein the operation mode may include an on mode and an off mode. When the control unit is in the on mode, a control signal can be generated and transmitted to the switch unit, so that the switch unit further transmits the second rectified power source to the output power terminal to generate a rectified output power source as the desired output power source. If the control unit is in the off mode, the generated control signal may cause the switch unit to stop transmitting the second rectified power supply to the output power supply terminal, that is, the output power supply terminal does not output any power supply.

More specifically, the switching unit can be a mechanical switch, a touch device, and an infrared control Device, far infrared sensing device, radio control device, magnetic sensing device, ultrasonic sensing device, microwave sensing device, pressure sensing device, vibration sensing device, sound sensing device, brightness sensing device, and temperature At least one of the sensing devices, so that the user can operate various devices such as a mechanical switch or a touch device by means of dialing, pressing, rotating, or the like, or approaching the sensing device, or using a remote controller or the like or by environment Conditional changes such as temperature changes, changes in ambient brightness, etc., control the switching unit to generate the required switching signals, thereby controlling the generation of the output power at the output power supply. The light emitting unit can be configured at the output power terminal, so that the user can turn on or off the light emitting unit by using the switching unit.

In particular, a plurality of the cascading luminaires of the present invention can be combined into a function of synchronously controlling a plurality of illuminating units by directly connecting in series, wherein the input power terminal of the first stage of the synchronously controllable series luminaire receives the AC input power The external power supply, and the input power terminal of the next-stage synchronously controllable series luminaire is the output power terminal connected to the synchronous control cascading luminaire of the previous stage, and the output power of each synchronously controllable series luminaire The corresponding light-emitting unit is configured at the end.

More specifically, the first rectifying power source and the second rectifying power source respectively generated by the first rectifying unit and the second rectifying unit in the synchronously controllable series luminaire are specifically designed to have voltage values of opposite polarities, such as first rectification. The power supply has a negative voltage, and the second rectified power supply has a positive voltage, and the control unit of the serially connected luminaire that can be synchronously controlled can only operate under the voltage polarity of the first rectified power supply, for example, under a negative voltage.

Therefore, when the input power terminal of the first-stage synchronously controllable series lamp receives the AC input power, the output power terminal of the serially connected lamp that can be synchronously controlled outputs a second rectified power source having a positive voltage, that is, positive The second rectified power source of the voltage enables the first rectifying unit of the series-connected luminaire that can be synchronously controlled in the next stage to fail to generate the first rectifying power source with a negative voltage, and the control unit that guides the cascading luminaire cannot operate, and stops generating Control signal, at this time, the switching unit of the serially connected lamp directly transmits the second rectified power source with positive voltage received by the full-wave rectifying unit to the output power terminal, and is regarded as the next-stage synchronously controllable series connection. The input power to the luminaire. Therefore, except for the control unit of the cascaded luminaire which can be synchronously controlled in the first stage, the other control units are not operated, so that the other first-stage synchronously controlled series luminaires other than the first stage only output positive values. The second rectified power source of the voltage is used to illuminate the corresponding lighting unit. As a result, the control unit of the first stage controls the switching unit to transmit a positive value while receiving the switching signal of the switching unit. The second rectified power supply of the voltage, so that the remaining synchronously controllable series luminaires also output a second rectified power supply of positive voltage, so that all the illuminating units can be illuminate simultaneously. In addition, when the control unit of the first stage controls the switch unit not to transmit the second rectified power supply under the switching signal of the switching unit, all the serially connected lamps that can be synchronously controlled also stop outputting the second rectified power supply, and all the illuminations are extinguished synchronously. The purpose of the unit, therefore, the tandem luminaire of this creation can indeed achieve the purpose of synchronously controlling all the lighting units.

Since the user can directly connect the serially connected lamps that can be synchronously controlled, the purpose of the synchronously controlled serially connected lamps can be achieved, so that the overall structure is simple and easy to assemble, and no special training is required, and most people can get started. Therefore, the application is quite extensive and the use is quite convenient.

The implementation of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings and component symbols, so that those skilled in the art can implement the present specification after studying the present specification.

Please refer to the first figure to show the schematic diagram of the serially connected lamps that can be controlled synchronously. As shown in the first figure, the serially controllable series lamp 1 of the present invention mainly includes an input power terminal PIN, an output power terminal PO, a first rectification unit 10, a second rectification unit 20, a control unit 30, a switch unit 40, The switching unit 50 and the housing SH are configured to form a luminaire structure having the functions of synchronous control and serial connection, and can receive an external power source to provide an output power, wherein the input power terminal PIN and the output power terminal PO are located on the surface of the housing SH. For example, the two ends are accommodated and covered by the housing SH and the first rectifying unit 10, the second rectifying unit 20, the control unit 30, the switching unit 40, and the switching unit 50 are provided to provide isolation protection. Wherein the housing SH can be a hard material such as a metal, and Each unit is separated by an insulating material, such as a plastic sheet for insulation protection, or the housing may be a soft insulating material for accommodating and covering each unit.

Specifically, the input power terminal PIN can receive an external power source, such as an AC input power source VAC, and the first rectifying unit 10 and the second rectifying unit 20 are connected to the input power terminal PIN, wherein the first rectifying unit 10 receives the external power source to perform The first rectification process generates a first rectified power source P1. Similarly, the second rectification unit 20 receives an external power source to perform a second rectification process to generate a second rectified power source P2.

In particular, the voltages of the first rectified power source P1 and the second rectified power source P2 are opposite in polarity P2. For example, the first rectified power source P1 may be a rectified power source having a negative voltage polarity, and the second rectified power source P2 may be a positive voltage polarity. The rectified power supply, or the first rectified power supply P1 may be a rectified power supply having a positive voltage polarity, and the second rectified power supply P2 may be a rectified power supply having a negative voltage polarity.

In addition, the control unit 30 is electrically connected to the first rectifying unit 10 and operates by using the first rectified power source P1 as an electric source, and the switch unit 40 is electrically connected to the second rectifying unit 20 for receiving the second rectifying power source P2. .

The switching unit 50 is electrically connected to the control unit 30 and operates by using the first rectified power source P1 or the second rectified power source P2 as the required power for generating a switching signal to switch the operation mode of the control unit 30, wherein the control unit 30 The operating modes include an on mode and an off mode. In particular, when the control unit 30 is in the on mode, a control signal can be generated and transmitted to the switch unit 40 for further transmitting the second rectified power source P2 to the output power terminal PO to generate a rectified output power source VOUT as needed. Output power. If the control unit 30 is in the off mode, the generated control signal may cause the switching unit 40 to stop transmitting the second rectified power source P2 to the output power terminal PO, and thus the second rectified power source P2 cannot provide the rectified output power source VOUT.

It should be noted that both the on mode and the off mode of the control unit 30 are performed under the reception of the first rectified power source P1. That is, when the first rectifying unit 10 cannot provide the first rectifying power source P1, the control unit 30 cannot generate the control signal, and at this time, the switch unit 40 can directly transmit the second rectifying power source P2 to the output power source terminal PO. Therefore, the initial operating state of the switching unit 40 is ON, so the second rectified power source P2 is directly transmitted to the output power terminal PO.

Furthermore, the switching unit 50 can utilize a mechanical switch, a touch device, an infrared control device, a far infrared ray sensing device, a radio control device, a magnetic sensing device, The at least one of the ultrasonic sensing device, the microwave sensing device, the pressure sensing device, the vibration sensing device, the sound sensing device, the brightness sensing device, and the temperature sensing device is implemented, so that the user can borrow Controlling the mechanical switch by moving, pressing, rotating, etc., or touching the touch device, or approaching the sensing device, or controlling the switching unit 50 by using a remote controller or by changing environmental conditions such as temperature changes, changes in ambient brightness, and the like. A switching signal is generated to control the generation of the output power of the output power terminal PO. In practical applications, the output power terminal PO can be configured to be connected to the lighting unit (not shown in the first figure), allowing the user to turn the lighting unit on or off using the switching unit 50.

For a more detailed description of the characteristics of the creation and the specific effects achieved, please refer to the second figure and the third figure, wherein the second picture is a schematic diagram of the application of multiple creative series connected lamps, and the third figure shows the related electrical operation. Waveform diagram. However, it should be noted that the second figure shows two serially connected lamps 1A and 1B that can be synchronously controlled, but for convenience of explanation, and in essence, more than two synchronously controlled series lamps can be used (such as the previous stage). Synchronously controlled tandem luminaire 1A, next-stage synchronously controllable tandem luminaire 1B), and connected by a simple serial connection, that is, the output power of the front-stage synchronously controllable tandem luminaire 1A The PO is an input power terminal PIN connected to the next-stage synchronously controllable tandem lamp 1B, so it is quite convenient to use.

First, for the synchronous control of the previous stage in the second figure, the luminaire 1A is connected in series.

The input power terminal PIN of the synchronously connected serial lamp 1A receives the AC input power VAC and is transmitted to the first rectifying unit 10 and the second rectifying unit 20 for respectively generating the first rectifying power source P1 and the second rectifying power source P2. Further, the first rectifying unit 10 can be implemented by a reverse-configured rectifying diode, such that the first rectifying power source P1 is a negative-voltage rectifying power source NP whose voltage is negative in the third figure, wherein the negative voltage rectification is performed. The power supply NP can be half wave or full wave. Furthermore, the second rectifying unit 20 can be implemented by using a rectifying bridge. Therefore, the second rectifying power source P2 is a positive voltage rectifying power source PP having a positive voltage as shown in the third figure, wherein the positive voltage rectifying power source PP can be Half or full wave.

However, it should be noted that the positive voltage rectifying power supply PP and the negative voltage rectifying power supply NP may be further configured to have a better duty cycle (Duty Cycle) according to actual needs, for example, to achieve more power efficiency or energy saving. . Therefore, as shown in the example of the fourth figure, the positive voltage rectifying power supply PP may have a duty ratio of less than 50%, and similarly, the negative voltage rectifying power The source NP can also have a duty cycle of less than 50%.

When the user generates the switching signal by using the switching unit 50, the control unit 30 operates in the on mode according to the switching signal, and generates a control signal, so that the switching unit 40 is turned on to transmit the half-wave or full-wave positive-voltage rectifying power source PP, At the output power terminal PO, a required rectified output power source VOUT is generated to illuminate the light-emitting unit LS1 connected to the output power terminal PO. If the user uses the switching unit 50 to generate the switching signal again, the control unit 30 operates in the off mode according to the switching signal, and stops generating the control signal, so that the output power terminal PO does not generate the rectified output power VOUT, thereby extinguishing the lighting unit LS1. The light-emitting unit LS1 may be a light bar composed of a single or a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), or a single or multiple fluorescent devices such as fluorescent lamps, incandescent lamps, halogen lamps, and power-saving bulbs.

Next, for the synchronous control of the subsequent stage in the second figure, the luminaire 1B is connected in series.

When the serially connected lamp 1A that can be synchronously controlled illuminates the light-emitting unit LS1, since the input power terminal PIN of the serially connectable lamp 1B that can be synchronously controlled can synchronously control the output power terminal PO of the tandem lamp 1A, it can be synchronously controlled. The first rectifying unit 10 and the second rectifying unit 20 of the tandem lamp 1B receive the rectified output power source VOUT instead of the AC input power source VAC. At this time, since the voltage of the rectified output power source VOUT is a positive value, the first rectifying unit 10 cannot generate the required first rectifying power source P1, which is indicated by a dotted arrow in the figure, so that the control unit 30 cannot operate with the power source, and thus A control signal is generated to control the switching unit 40, also indicated by a dashed arrow in the figure. As a result, the switching unit 40 directly transmits the second rectified power source P2 from the second rectifying unit 20, that is, the positive voltage rectifying power source PP having a positive voltage, to the output power terminal PO to generate a rectification with a positive voltage rectifying power source PP. The output power source VOUT is used to illuminate the light emitting unit LS2 connected to the output power terminal PO.

If the serially connected lamp 1A is turned off and the light-emitting unit LS1 is turned off, the output power supply PO of the serially connected lamp 1A that can be synchronously controlled does not generate the required rectified output power VOUT, so the serially connected lamps can be synchronously controlled. The input power terminal PIN of 1B fails to obtain power supply and stops operating, so that the light-emitting unit LS2 is turned off.

Obviously, all the serially connectable lamps that can be synchronously controlled according to the above-mentioned serial connection mode also have the electrical operation characteristics of the serially connected lamps 1B that can be synchronously controlled, so it is similarly known that when the user opens the first stage, Synchronous control of the series connected to the lamp 1A to illuminate the lighting unit In LS1, the other light-emitting units connected to the serially connected lamps that are synchronously controlled are also illuminated at the same time, and when the user turns off the first-stage synchronously controllable series-connected lamps 1A and extinguishes the light-emitting unit LS1, the rest can be synchronously controlled. The light-emitting units connected to the series-connected lamps are also extinguished at the same time.

Overall, in the application example of the second figure, only the control unit 30 of the first stage of the synchronously controllable tandem luminaire 1A can be operated with the required power, and the remaining control units in the cascading luminaire can be synchronously controlled. 30 is essentially no action, so this creation can indeed achieve synchronous control of the lighting and closing operations of multiple lighting units, and specifically realize the function of synchronous serial connection lamps.

It should be noted that the control unit 30 of the serially connected lamps 1, 1A, 1B that can be synchronously controlled in the above embodiment is configured to utilize a negative voltage rectifying power source NP having a negative voltage, but all the control units 30 can also be configured. The operation is performed by using a half-wave or full-wave negative-voltage rectifier power supply NP, but correspondingly, and the first rectification unit 10 must also be the first rectified power supply P1 configured to generate a positive voltage, and the second rectification unit 20 It is also necessary to be the second rectified power supply P2 configured to generate a negative voltage, and if the light emitting unit has a polarity, it is appropriately arranged in accordance with the second rectified power supply P2. Therefore, as long as the control unit 30 of the first-stage synchronously controllable tandem lamp 1A can obtain the required power supply and operates, and the remaining control units 30 do not operate, the first rectifying unit 10 and the second rectifying unit 20 Other specific implementations, including other equivalent designs of positive or negative voltages, should also be covered by this creation, such as designs with an empty ratio of less than 50%.

The user can connect a plurality of light-emitting units to the output power terminals of the series-connected lamps that can be synchronously controlled, and serially connect each of the serially-connected lamps that can be synchronously controlled, thereby achieving the purpose of synchronously controlling the series-connected lamps. Therefore, the overall structure is simple, it is very easy to assemble, and no special training is required, so most people can get started. Therefore, the application is quite wide, and it is quite convenient and has industrial utilization.

In summary, the main feature of the present invention is that the first rectifying power source and the second rectifying unit respectively generate the first rectifying power source and the second rectifying power source to supply the control unit and the switch unit, thereby receiving the external power source and generating the point for use. The output power of the bright lighting unit provides synchronous control and serial connection. Therefore, the user can achieve the purpose of synchronously controlling the serially connected lamps by serially connecting the serially connected lamps that can be synchronously controlled, so that the overall structure is simple and easy to assemble without special training, and most people can get started. Therefore, the application is quite extensive and the use is quite convenient. At the same time, it can greatly simplify the configuration of the serial connection, and can further enhance the flexibility of the actual application, and Save material costs and reduce inventory types.

Since the technology of this creation is not found in published publications, periodicals, magazines, media, and exhibition venues, it is novel and can be implemented through breakthroughs in current technical bottlenecks. It is indeed progressive. In addition, this creation can solve the problems of the conventional technology, improve the overall use efficiency, and achieve the value of industrial utilization.

The above description is only for the purpose of explaining the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to impose any form of limitation on the creation, so that any modification or alteration of the creation made in the same creative spirit is provided. , should still be included in the scope of protection of this creative intent.
