在所述调光开关系统130中，调光开关520可以作为一个连接点来连接弱电模块510和强电模块530。其中弱电模块510可以是一个控制电路，该控制电路的电源供应电压远小于照明设备电路的电源供应电压。例如，在一些实施例中，所述控制电路的电源供应电压可为3.3V左右，5V，1.5V等其它合适的电压值。该弱电模块510可以作为一个驱动信号传输电路，接收驱动信号并传送给调光开关520。所述驱动信号可以包含由处理模块320中的驱动信号产生模块450产生的驱动信号，也可以是由人工自定义施加的驱动信号或其它驱动信号。例如在一些实施例中，在测试调光开关520的工作状态时，可以将不同类型的驱动信号施加于弱电模块510，进而控制调光开关的工作状态。所述驱动信号类型可以是连续的模拟信号，也可以是离散的脉冲信号等。所述驱动信号可以通过弱电模块510中的驱动信号接收子模块540来完成。所述驱动信号接收子模块540可以是一个信号传输电路，该电路可 以有一个接口与处理模块320相连。在一些实施例中，从处理模块320传输到弱电模块510的驱动信号强度可能强度不够或经电路传输有所损耗，所以可经由一个信号放大子模块550将接收到的驱动信号进行放大处理。所述信号放大子模块550可以包含一个或多个信号放大电路。所述信号放大电路可以包含但不限于一个电压放大电路，一个电流放大电路，一个功率放大电路，或其它类似信号放大电路。所述驱动信号类型可以是根据调光开关520的类型来确定，例如在一些实施例中，调光开关可以进行切相调光，则驱动信号可以是包含电网过零点信息的脉冲信号。在一些实施例中，调光开关内部可以包含一些过零检测电路，则驱动信号可以是一个维持一段时间的高电平信号而不包含电网过零点的信息。
调光开关520可以作为一个连接节点连接弱电模块510和强电模块530，根据弱电模块510接收到的驱动信号中的信息，改变强电模块的输出功率，从而达到改变与强电模块相连的照明设备亮度的目的。所述改变强电模块输出功率的方法可以包括切相调光法、模拟或数字调光法、限流调光法、电感镇流器分功率档位调光法、可变电阻调光法、可变电阻调光法、脉冲占空比调光法、脉冲调频调光法、调节高频逆变器供电电压调光法、脉冲调相调光法、正弦波调光法、改变串联电感值的调光法等中的一种或多种。这些功率调整方法可由调光开关520来实现。所述调光开关520可以是一个开关元件，也可以是多个开关元件，也可以是一个开关元件和一个或多个电路模块的组合。所述调光开关520中的开关元件可以是隔离式的，也可以是非隔离式的。例如在一些实施例中调光开关520中的开关元件可包含一个三端双向交流开关(TRIAC)，所述三端双向交流开关可通过一个光耦隔离器件来驱动。在一些实施例中，所述的三端双向交流开关可以取消光耦隔离器件，由弱电模块经过一个驱动电路直接驱动所述三端双向交流开关。在一些实施例中，调光开关520中可包含多个开关元件，这些开关元件可以根据驱动信号的不同选择性的启用。例如某个开关元件可以进行切相操作，而某个开关元件可以进行全向导通操作，则当用户选择调整照明设备亮度时，驱动信号可以控制有切相操作功能的开关元件启用，当用户选择调整照明设备亮度最大时，驱动信号可以控制有全向导 通功能的开关元件启用。

图6是根据本申请的一些实施例的调光开关示意图。在调光开关520中可以包含一个切相开关610和一个全向导通单元620，其中全向导通单元620中还可以包含一个精确过零检测子单元630。
在一些实施例中，切相开关610可以是或包含一个三端双向交流开关元件，可通过光耦合隔离驱动方式，由处理模块320的输出驱动信号控制进行切相操作。所述切相操作为调整三段双向交流开关元件的触发电压，改变其触发导通的时间，使得强电模块530中输入的正弦波交流电被切掉一部分，导致与之相连的照明设备140所获得的能量减少，从而降低其亮度。所述切相操作中，由于需要知道电网交流电的过零点信息，所以驱动该切相开关610的驱动信号中可以包含电网过零点信息，所述过零点信息可以由过零检测模块330提供给处理模块320。所述过零点信息传输给处理模块320之后，可以通过软件分析来确定何时进行切相，得到切相时刻的时间信息。所述驱动信号则可以根据所述时间信息确定，来控制切相开关610在何时进行切相操作。
在一些实施例中，过零检测模块330提供给处理模块320的过零点信息可能会存在一定的偏差。产生所述偏差的原因可能包括过零检测模块330在检测电网过零点时的精确度，电网频率本身就存在的波动等。在这些实施例中，即使是在最大功率的状态，通常也会在过零点前后的一小段时间内进行切相操作。例如，所述一小段的时间可以是1ms到2ms左右的切相或者其它时间段。此时，切相开关610可能无法实现全向导通的功能。如果过零检测模块330所检测的电网过零点足够精确，或电网频率维持稳定，则可以精确得对切相开关610进行控制，从而在最大功 率时取消切相，实现全向导通。
在一些实施例中(例如当切相开关610无法实现全向导通时或其它适当的情况下)，可以由调光开关520中的全向导通单元620来实现调光开关520的全向导通功能。所述全向导通单元620可以是一个与切相开关610相连的电路结构，也可以是一个与切相开关610相连(例如并联)的全向导通开关元件。在一些实施例中，全向导通单元可以是一个施加在切相开关610上的电路结构，该电路结构在用户需要全向导通的时候启用，可以取消切相开关610在过零点前后一小段时间内的切相。在一些实施例中，全向导通单元可以包含一个带有精确过零检测子单元630的切相开关。所述精确过零检测子单元630可以是一个过零触发电路，用来精确检测到电网交流电的过零点，使得全向导通单元620可以全向导通。该全向导通单元620也可以由一个驱动信号来驱动，该驱动信号可以包含过零检测模块330提供的过零检测信息，也可以不包含该过零检测信息。在一些实施例中，用来驱动全向导通单元620的驱动信号包含了过零检测模块330的过零检测信息，则所述精确过零检测子单元630可以对该过零检测信息进行复核校验以更精确控制全向导通单元620。在一些实施例中，用来驱动全向导通单元620的驱动信号不包含过零检测模块330的过零检测信息，而由精确过零检测子单元630来控制全向导通单元620。例如，在一些实施例中，当驱动信号给出驱动电流，精确过零检测子单元630就会在每个半周的过零点打开全向导通单元620中的切相开关，若此时驱动信号为一段时间的高电平信号，则全向导通单元620在该时段内始终开启，从而实现全向导通。
所述切相开关610和所述全向导通单元620可以是一种并联的关系，即当启用切相开关610的时候则不启用全向导通单元620，当启用全向导通单元620的时候则不启用切相开关610。这种切换关系可以通过处理模块320发出的驱动信号来控制，例如在一些实施例中，当用户需要对照明设备140进行亮度调整的时候，则处理模块320发出控制切相开关610的驱动信号，当用户不需要对照明设备140进行亮度调整，或者希望亮度最大的时候，则处理模块320发出控制全向导通单元620的驱动信号。
图7是根据本申请的一些实施例的全向导通单元的驱动信号与强电模块电压输出的关系示意图。如图所示，全向导通单元620的驱动信号710可以是维持一段时间(例如两个周期的时间段t、其它数量的周期等)的高电平信号，在此段时间内，强电模块的电压输出720是一段两个周期内的正弦曲线，在此过程中不存在切相操作，调光开关520全向导通。
图8是根据本申请的一些实施例的调光模式选择流程图。在本申请中，调光开关系统130可以具有切相功能和全向导通功能，整个开关系统可以被选择为调光模式和开关模式。所述调光模式可以根据用户需求改变强电模块530的输出功率，改变照明设备140的亮度。所述开关模式可以是启用全向导通单元620且禁用切相开关610实现开关的全向导通。所述调光模式可以被应用在一些可调光的照明设备的使用中(诸如LED等照明设备)。所述开关模式可以被应用在一些不适合调光的照明设备的使用中(诸如紧凑型荧光灯(Compact Fluorescent Lamps,简称CFL)等照明设备)。
在步骤801中，用户可以选择照明设备的类型。该选择过程可以是在室内的操作设备上来完成，也可以是通过手机等远程操作设备来完成。在一些实施例中，改选择过程可通过用户输入设备110来完成。在一些实施例中，当用户首次安装本申请的开关时，可以在对应的操作设备的用户界面上选择连接到该开关的照明设备的类型。用户也可以通过远程操作设备诸如手机等来选择照明设备的类型。用户可以手动选择所连接的照明设备是可调光或者不可调光的照明设备，也可以直接输入该照明设备的型号或ID信息等。在开关的数据存储模块440可以存储有市售的大部分照明设备的信息，所述照明设备的信息可以包含生产厂家，成产批次，设备规格等。所述设备规格可以包含该照明设备是否可以调光的信息。
在步骤802中，处理模块320可对用户的选择内容进行分析并判断该开关连接的照明设备140是否具有调光功能。如果用户直接输入该照明设备140是否可以调光的信息，则在该判断步骤中可以直接做出判断。如果用户输入的是照明设备的型号等信息，则在此步骤中，处理模块320会将用户的输入数据与存储在数据存 储模块440中的设备信息进行比对，在存储的信息中检索用户输入的数据，根据检索结果中包含的是否可调光信息来判断用户输入的照明设备是否可以调光。如果该照明设备类型是具有调光功能的，则开关将被配置为调光模式，否则将被配置为开关模式。
在一些实施例中，处理模块320可判断用户选择的照明设备类型是可以调光的，在步骤803中，处理模块320可选择调光模式对所述照明设备进行控制。例如，处理模块320可启用调光开关520中的切相开关610，在用户需要调整照明设备亮度的时候通过切相开关610的切相操作调整照明设备的功率。在调光模式下，用户需要调整照明设备亮度到最大的时候，可以启用全向导通单元620且禁用切相开关610，此时照明设备所获得的功率达到最大，即最大亮度。
在一些实施例中，在步骤802中，处理模块320可判断用户选择的照明设备类型是不可以调光的。在这些实施例中，在步骤804中，处理模块可选择开关模式(即不可调光模式)来控制所述照明设备。例如，调光开关520中的切相开关610可被禁用，全向导通单元620可被启用以实现所述开关模式。在该模式下，调光开关520全向导通，与该开关相连的照明设备工作在稳定的功率下。
图9是根据本申请的一些实施例的调光过程流程图。该流程图描述了从整个开关系统接收照明设备控制数据到改变照明设备发光状态的基本流程。在步骤901中，智能控制系统120可以获取照明设备控制数据。该控制数据可以是控制照明设备的亮或灭，也可以是控制照明设备的亮度数据。该数据的类型与选择的开关工作模式有关，例如在开关为调光模式时，控制数据可以包括照明设备亮灭的信息，也可以包括控制其亮度的信息。在开关模式时，控制数据可以包含照明设备亮灭的信息。所述控制数据可以是来自用户输入设备110，也可以是来自于传感器150或其它设备。例如在一些实施例中，用户通过开关系统的操作界面进行数据输入或者是通过手机等远程输入设备进行数据输入。在一些实施例中，传感器可以感知环境参数，并根据环境参数产生照明设备控制数据。例如当环境亮度较高时，照明设备控制数据可以为将照明设备亮度调低的控制指令。所述环境参数可以包括亮度，温 度，湿度等参数。
在步骤902中，处理模块320可处理所获取的照明设备控制数据，并由其中的驱动信号产生模块450产生控制调光开关520的驱动信号。所述处理该控制数据的过程可以包含信号转换的过程，例如将用户输入的照明设备亮度调整幅度信息转化为控制切相开关610的控制数据等。产生的驱动信号可以是根据用户选择的照明设备类型，即智能控制系统的工作模式来确定。例如在一些实施例中，用户选择的智能控制系统工作在调光模式下，则驱动信号产生模块450产生的驱动信号可以用来控制切相开关610，也可以在用户选择最大功率输出的时候用来控制全向导通单元620。在一些实施例中，用户选择的智能控制系统工作在开关模式下，驱动信号产生模块450产生的驱动信号可以只用来控制全向导通单元620。
在步骤903中，调光开关系统130可以根据驱动信号控制调光开关的状态。当驱动信号为驱动切相开关610的驱动信号时，则可以根据用户对照明设备亮度的要求控制切相开关610进行切相操作。当驱动信号为控制全向导通单元620的驱动信号时，则控制调光开关520全向导通。
在步骤904中，智能控制系统120根据调光开关520的状态控制照明设备发光。例如当启用切相开关610时且进行了切相操作，则控制照明设备在低功率状态下工作，当启用了全向导通单元620时，则控制照明设备在最大功率状态下工作。
图10是根据本申请的一些实施例的调光开关系统的电路示意图。如图所示，调光开关系统1000可包括弱电模块1110，调光开关1120，强电模块1130。弱电模块1110可以包含一个或多个信号放大电路，例如信号放大电路1111和1113。
调光开关1120可以包含切相开关1121，全向导通单元1123，以及其它电子元件。切相开关1121可以是一个隔离式光耦合器件且由弱电模块控制。在接收到弱电模块的驱动信号a1后，弱电侧的发光二极管会根据驱动信号发出不同强度的光信号，强电侧的三端双向交流开关根据接收到发光二极管的光信号控制切相开关1121。全向导通单元1123也可以是一个隔离式光耦合器件且结构与1121相似且由驱动信号a2控制。全向导通单1123的三端双向交流开关还可以连接一个精确过零检测电 路Z1可以用来辅助该开关实现全向导通功能。
强电模块1130可包含一个双向可控硅开关1131，一个过压保护器件1132和一个电流尖峰抑制器件1133。其中双向可控硅开关1131可以作为调光系统的主开关器件，可以由切相开关1121和/或全向导通单元1123来控制。过压保护器件1132可以用于吸收电网和/或双向可控硅开关1131关闭时的瞬间浪涌。电流尖峰抑制器件1133可以用于抑制切相开启时，某些容性灯具(如LED)充电时产生的电流尖峰。
在一些实施例中，信号放大电路1111可接收并放大驱动信号a1以生成第一放大驱动信号。类似的，信号放大电路1111可接收并放大驱动信号a2以生成第二放大驱动信号。在一些实施例中，第一放大驱动信号和第二放大驱动信号可分别用于控制切向开关1121和全向导通单元1123。
图11是根据本申请的一些实施例的处理模块示意图。在该实施例中，处理模块可包含一个微处理器1100。1101和1102为接收到的照明设备控制数据，可以为用户输入数据或传感器输入数据。1103和1104分别为切相开关和全向导通单元的驱动信号。1105为过零检测模块提供给微处理器的过零信号。VL为给微处理器的供电输入。所述的微处理器1100可以包含一个或多个可编程中断控制器PIC(Programmable Interrupt Controller)，单片机(例如STM8，STM32和Cortex A等型号)，数字信号处理芯片DSP(Digital Signal Processing)等可用来实现处理模块的处理器。
图12是根据本申请的一些实施例的过零检测模块的电路示意图。该过零检测电路1200通过光耦隔离器件分为强电侧1210和弱电侧1220，根据强电侧的电网频率产生一个带有过零信息的信号1105，传输给微处理器。
图13是根据本申请的一些实施例的调光开关系统的电路示意图。该实施例与图11所示实施例的区别在于将隔离式光耦合器件1123替换成了一个继电器1322。所述继电器1322仍然连接弱电模块1110和强电模块1130，且由驱动信号a2控制。当继电器的弱电侧线圈通过一定的维持电流时，可以控制其强电侧的开关闭合。由 于该继电器1322不包含双向可控硅开关结构，所以其不需要在过零点时进行切相，而是在强电侧开关闭合时始终保持全向导通。所述驱动信号a2仍然可以包含过零点信息来辅助控制继电器1322。例如当继电器1322强电侧开关在过零点附近开启和关闭时，可以避免开启和关闭时开关两端浪涌电压和尖峰电流对系统的影响，则驱动信号a2在控制继电器1322强电侧开关闭合或断开时可以尽量在过零点附近。
上文已对基本概念做了描述，显然，对于本领域技术人员来说，上述披露仅仅作为示例，而并不构成对本申请的限定。虽然此处并没有明确说明，本领域技术人员可能会对本申请进行各种修改、改进和修正。该类修改、改进和修正在本申请中被建议，所以该类修改、改进、修正仍属于本申请示范实施例的精神和范围。
同时，本申请使用了特定词语来描述本申请的实施例。如“一个实施例”、“一实施例”、和/或“一些实施例”意指与本申请至少一个实施例相关的某一特征、结构或特点。因此，应强调并注意的是，本说明书中在不同位置两次或多次提及的“一实施例”或“一个实施例”或“一替代性实施例”并不一定是指同一实施例。此外，本申请的一个或多个实施例中的某些特征、结构或特点可以进行适当的组合。
此外，本领域技术人员可以理解，本申请的各方面可以通过若干具有可专利性的种类或情况进行说明和描述，包括任何新的和有用的工序、机器、产品或物质的组合，或对他们的任何新的和有用的改进。相应地，本申请的各个方面可以完全由硬件执行、可以完全由软件(包括固件、常驻软件、微码等)执行、也可以由硬件和软件组合执行。以上硬件或软件均可被称为“数据块”、“模块”、“引擎”、“单元”、“组件”或“系统”。此外，本申请的各方面可能表现为位于一个或多个计算机可读介质中的计算机产品，该产品包括计算机可读程序编码。
本申请各部分操作所需的计算机程序编码可以用任意一种或多种程序语言编写，包括面向对象编程语言如Java、Scala、Smalltalk、Eiffel、JADE、Emerald、C++、C#、VB.NET、Python等，常规程序化编程语言如C语言、Visual  Basic、Fortran 2003、Perl、COBOL 2002、PHP、ABAP，动态编程语言如Python、Ruby和Groovy，或其他编程语言等。该程序编码可以完全在用户计算机上运行、或作为独立的软件包在用户计算机上运行、或部分在用户计算机上运行部分在远程计算机运行、或完全在远程计算机或服务器上运行。在后种情况下，远程计算机可以通过任何网络形式与用户计算机连接，比如局域网(LAN)或广域网(WAN)，或连接至外部计算机(例如通过因特网)，或在云计算环境中，或作为服务使用如软件即服务(SaaS)。
此外，除非权利要求中明确说明，本申请所述处理元素和序列的顺序、数字字母的使用、或其他名称的使用，并非用于限定本申请流程和方法的顺序。尽管上述披露中通过各种示例讨论了一些目前认为有用的实施例，但应当理解的是，该类细节仅起到说明的目的，附加的权利要求并不仅限于披露的实施例，相反，权利要求旨在覆盖所有符合本申请实施例实质和范围的修正和等价组合。例如，虽然以上所描述的系统组件可以通过硬件设备实现，但是也可以只通过软件的解决方案得以实现，如在现有的服务器或移动设备上安装所描述的系统。
同理，应当注意的是，为了简化本申请披露的表述，从而帮助对一个或多个实施例的理解，前文对本申请实施例的描述中，有时会将多种特征归并至一个实施例、附图或对其的描述中。但是，这种披露方法并不意味着本申请对象所需要的特征比权利要求中提及的特征多。实际上，实施例的特征要少于上述披露的单个实施例的全部特征。
一些实施例中使用了描述成分、属性数量的数字，应当理解的是，此类用于实施例描述的数字，在一些示例中使用了修饰词“大约”、“近似”或“大体上”来修饰。除非另外说明，“大约”、“近似”或“大体上”表明所述数字允许有±20％的变化。相应地，在一些实施例中，说明书和权利要求中使用的数值参数均为近似值，该近似值根据个别实施例所需特点可以发生改变。在一些实施例中，数值参数应考虑规定的有效数位并采用一般位数保留的方法。尽管本申请一些实施例中用于确认其范围广度的数值域和参数为近似值，在具体实施例 中，此类数值的设定在可行范围内尽可能精确。
针对本申请引用的每个专利、专利申请、专利申请公开物和其他材料，如文章、书籍、说明书、出版物、文档等，特此将其全部内容并入本申请作为参考。与本申请内容不一致或产生冲突的申请历史文件除外，对本申请权利要求最广范围有限制的文件(当前或之后附加于本申请中的)也除外。需要说明的是，如果本申请附属材料中的描述、定义、和/或术语的使用与本申请所述内容有不一致或冲突的地方，以本申请的描述、定义和/或术语的使用为准。
最后，应当理解的是，本申请中所述实施例仅用以说明本申请实施例的原则。其他的变形也可能属于本申请的范围。因此，作为示例而非限制，本申请实施例的替代配置可视为与本申请的教导一致。相应地，本申请的实施例不仅限于本申请明确介绍和描述的实施例。
