Detailed description of the embodiments



[0017] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0019] The invention provides a high-voltage non-isolated LED lamp low light elimination device, as shown in Figure 1, including: a voltage conversion module 1 , a dimming control module 2 and a low light elimination module 3 , wherein the voltage conversion module 1 and the dimming control module 2 is connected and used to convert high-voltage alternating current into direct current for power supply; in the embodiment of the present invention, the voltage conversion module 1 includes: a rectification and filtering unit 11, an AD/DC unit 12, and a DC/DC unit 13 for converting high-voltage alternating current into direct current. After performing rectification, filtering, AC and DC voltage conversion and voltage conversion, an appropriate voltage is provided to the dimming control module 2 .

[0020] The dimming control module 2 is used to receive external control signals to control the turning on and off of LED lamps; in practical applications, the signal receiving unit 21 and the microprocessor unit 22, wherein the signal receiving unit 21 receives external signals through wireless communication control. control signal, the microprocessor unit 22 controls the action of the low light elimination module 3 and the turning on and off of the LED lamp according to the external control signal. The communication protocol supported by the signal receiving unit 21 includes one of the Bluetooth, Zigbee or DALI protocols, which is reasonably set according to the actual networking situation.

[0021] In one embodiment, the low light elimination module 3 includes a relay unit 31, which is connected between the positive electrode of the LED lamp and the voltage conversion module 1. When the dimming control module 2 controls the LED lamp to turn off, it also controls the relay unit 31 to disconnect. As shown in Figure 2, the relay unit 31 includes: a relay K101 and a peripheral circuit. When the dimming control module 2 controls the LED lamp to turn off, it also controls the relay to disconnect from the LED lamp. The peripheral circuit includes: diode D101, transistor Q1, first resistor R101, second resistor R102 and signal receiving pin ON/OFF. The signal receiving pin is connected to the microprocessor module. The first resistor R101 is respectively connected in series with the transistor Q1 and the signal receiving pin. The diode D101 is connected in parallel with the relay K101 and then connected to the second resistor R102 and the transistor Q1 respectively. This situation applies to the case where the LED lamp has a non-metal casing, and only needs to set a relay unit at the end connected to the positive electrode of the LED lamp.

[0022] For non-isolated, when the LED lamp has a high voltage output and the LED lamp has a metal shell, when the control software turns off the light, the output is output to the LED nodes: LED+, LED-. There is a voltage difference between the direct output and the grounded metal shell of the lamp, and the LED chip induced current generated on the LED is enough to excite the LED and produce a faint brightness. Therefore, the voltage difference of the lamp board and the induction ability to the ground must be reduced and cut off.

[0023] When the product space is large and cost is not considered, as shown in Figure 3, the voltage of the output line to the ground line is reduced when the lights are turned off. Two sets of switch relays are used to control the K 101 switch circuit. Before turning on the lights, the relay is closed and works normally. After turning off the light, the relay is disconnected to disconnect the high-end voltage LED+ and the low-end voltage LED- output at the same time to meet the requirement that the lamp will not dim.

[0024] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, when the LED lamp has a metal casing, the low light elimination module 3 also includes: a high back-voltage diode D2, connected between the cathode of the LED lamp and the voltage conversion module 1 , reduces the voltage of the output line to ground when the lights are turned off. A single set of switch relay K101 switch control circuit is used. Before turning on the light, the relay is closed and works normally. After the light is turned off, the relay K101 is disconnected to disconnect the high-end voltage LED+. At the same time, the high back-voltage diode D2 blocks the low-end induced voltage LED- output when the light is turned off, thereby achieving the requirement that the light will not dim.

[0025] The high-voltage non-isolated LED lamp low light elimination device provided by the embodiment of the present invention solves the "ghost flame " phenomenon when the high-voltage LED lamp is turned off, has low cost and a good result.

[0026] An embodiment of the present invention also provides an LED lamp, which includes an LED lamp module and the high-voltage non-isolated LED lamp low light elimination device described in any of the above embodiments. That is, the high-voltage non-isolated LED lamp shimmer elimination device is integrated into the finished LED lamp, so that the LED lamp will not produce shimmer when in use.

[0027] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments are only examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. An exhaustive list of all implementations is neither necessary nor possible. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
