[0029] Referring to FIGS. 1-9, a control circuit 100 according to a preferred embodiment
of the present invention is shown. The control circuit 100 is applied to a lighting
apparatus 200, and is configured to control the motor rotation of the lighting apparatus
200 and adjust the luminance and color temperature of the lighting apparatus 200.
The control circuit 100 includes a main control circuit 10, a motor driving circuit

end of the rectified power supply circuit 40 is directly connected with the lighting
circuit 30, and the lighting circuit 30 supplies power to the light source assembly
240 in the lighting apparatus 200 by stepping down the rectified high voltage to a
constant current through an inductor. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention,
the light source assembly 240 is an LED lamp bead. In other embodiments, the light
source assembly 240 can also be other light-emitting assemblies, such as a light bulb,
a fluorescent lamp, a light bar or a light sheet, etc.. The present invention is not
limited thereto. The output end of the rectified power supply circuit 40 is electrically
connected with the input end of the motor driving circuit 20 and the input end of
the auxiliary circuit 44 respectively through the switch circuit 43, so that the rectified
high voltage can be supplied in the form of a constant output of 24V through a transformer
to the motor driving circuit 20 and the auxiliary circuit 44. The auxiliary circuit
44 steps down the voltage from 24V to 5V and then supplies power to the main control
circuit 10. That is, the power supply system of the main control circuit 10 is 5V,
so as to reduce the power consumption of the control circuit 100.
[0031] The output ends of the main control circuit 10 are connected with the input end of
the motor driving circuit 20 and the input end of the lighting circuit 30 respectively,
and the main control circuit 10 is configured to adjust the rotating speed of the
motor in the lighting apparatus 200 through the motor driving circuit 20, so as to
realize stepless speed adjustment of the lighting apparatus 200. The lighting circuit
30 includes a first chip 31 and a second chip 32. The first chip 31 is configured
to detect the duty ratio of PWM output by the main control circuit 10, so as to control
the luminance of the lighting apparatus 200. The second chip 32 includes at least
two color adjustment circuits with different color temperatures. The second chip 32
is configured to control switching of the color temperature of the lighting apparatus
200 by controlling the connection of the color adjustment circuits. In this way, the
motor driving circuit 20 and the lighting circuit 30 are directly controlled by one
main control circuit 10, and the rotating speed of the motor in the lighting apparatus
200 is controlled through the motor driving circuit 20, so as to realize stepless
speed adjustment and stepless luminance adjustment of the lighting apparatus 200 while
adjusting the color temperature. The color temperature and luminance of the lighting
apparatus 200 are controlled through the first chip 31 and the second chip 32, so
as to reduce the use of relays, meet the requirements of diversified functions of
the lighting apparatus 200 and meanwhile reduce the cost of the lighting apparatus
200.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the main control circuit 10 is
included in the motor driving circuit 20, and the main control circuit 10 in the motor
driving circuit 20 controls the motor driving circuit 20 while also controlling the
lighting circuit 30, so that the design of the main control circuit 10 in the lighting
circuit 30 is simplified. In other embodiments, the main control circuit 10 may also
be included in the lighting circuit 30, or the main control circuit 10 may be separately
provided. The present invention is not limited thereto. One main control circuit 10
can control the motor driving circuit 20 and the lighting circuit 30 at the same time,
so as to reduce the relay and part of AC/DC filter rectifier circuit, to reduce the
cost. By integrating the motor driving circuit 20 and the lighting circuit 30, the
color temperature and luminance of the lighting apparatus 200 and the rotating speed
of the motor of the lighting apparatus 200 can be directly controlled by the main
control circuit 10, so as to simplify the structure of the control circuit 100 and
reduce the cost.
[0033] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the main control circuit 10
can be a programmable circuit module, and a plurality of IO ports are provided by
programming the chip of the main control circuit 10 to realize output and input of
different control signal. Those skilled in the art can carry out corresponding programming
procedures according to the specific conditions of the circuit structure, which is

[0034] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the control circuit 100 further

receiving circuit 50 is connected with the signal input end of the main control circuit
10, and the main control circuit 10 is configured to receive the signal of the radio
frequency receiving circuit 50, and send a motor driving signal to the motor driving
circuit 20, and/or send a luminance signal and/or a color temperature signal to the
lighting circuit 30 for lighting. That is, the radio frequency receiving circuit 50
is in signal connection with the main control circuit 10, and is in signal connection
with the motor driving circuit 20 and/or the lighting circuit 30 through the main
control circuit 10. According to the signal from the radio frequency receiving circuit
50, the main control circuit 10 can send a motor driving signal to the motor driving
circuit 20 alone, or send a luminance signal or a color temperature signal for lighting
to the lighting circuit 30 alone, or can select any combination of signals to send.
The radio frequency receiving circuit 50 can receive a radio frequency signal such
as WIFI, Bluetooth, etc., and convert the radio frequency signal into a digital signal
and output it to the main control circuit 10, so as to control the rotating speed
of the motor in the lighting apparatus 200 and the color temperature and luminance
of the lighting apparatus 200 through the main control circuit 10. In a preferred
embodiment, the radio frequency receiving circuit 50 adopts the frequency band of
433.92MHz to receive signals from a remote controller. In other embodiments, other
frequency bands can also be adopted, which is not limited in the present invention.
By providing the radio frequency receiving circuit 50, the remote control of the lighting
apparatus 200 can be improved, and the user's convenience can be improved.
[0035] Optionally, the control circuit 100 further includes a prompting circuit 60, the
input end of the prompting circuit 60 is connected with the output end of the radio
frequency receiving circuit 50, and the output end of the prompting circuit 60 is
connected with the input end of the main control circuit 10. Preferably, the prompting
circuit 60 is a buzzer, and the buzzer is in signal connection with the radio frequency
receiving circuit 50 and the main control circuit 10. When the buzzer receives a radio
frequency signal, the buzzer emits a "beep" sound to prompt the user, and executes
the corresponding function.
[0036] Further, the motor of the lighting apparatus 200 is a DC brushless motor, and the
output end of the motor driving circuit 20 is connected to the three-phase connection
terminal of the DC brushless motor. The motor driving circuit 20 is configured to
drive a MOSFET by detecting the duty ratio of PWM output by the main control circuit
10, and then control the three-phase current of the motor, and further control the
rotating speed of the DC brushless motor. The AC motor of the lighting apparatus 200
is replaced by the DC brushless motor, so that the lighting apparatus 200 have the
advantages of small starting current, low noise and convenient speed adjustment, and
can realize stepless speed adjustment.
[0037] Further, the lighting apparatus 200 includes a first chip 31 and a second chip 32.
The first chip 31 is configured to detect the duty ratio of PWM output by the main
control circuit 10, so as to control the luminance of the lighting apparatus 200.
The second chip 32 includes at least two color adjustment circuits with different
color temperatures, and the second chip 32 is configured to control switching of the
color temperature of the lighting apparatus 200 by controlling the connection of the
color adjustment circuits. By providing the first chip 31 and the second chip 32 instead
of the relay, the color temperature of the lighting apparatus 200 can be adjusted,
and at the same time, the stepless luminance adjustment of the lighting apparatus
200 can be realized. In addition, the cost of the control circuit 100 can also be
reduced by removing the relay.
[0038] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the first chip 31 is in signal
connection with the radio frequency receiving circuit 50 and the main control circuit
10, respectively. The first chip 31 includes an identification circuit and a first
detection circuit. The identification circuit is configured to identify an output
signal of the main control circuit 10 and control the connection of the first detection
circuit. After the main control circuit 10 receives a signal from the radio frequency
receiving circuit 50, the main control circuit 10 decodes the signal, outputs a corresponding
ON/OFF/dimming signal according to the protocol, and controls the connection of the
first detection circuit in the first chip 31. When the identification circuit of the
first chip 31 identifies a low-level voltage, the first detection circuit is not turned
on. When the identification circuit of the first chip 31 identifies a high-level voltage,
the first detection circuit is turned on. When the identification circuit of the first
chip 31 identifies a dimming signal, the first detection circuit detects the duty
ratio of the PWM output by the main control circuit 10 to output a corresponding current,
so as to control the luminance of the lighting circuit 30. The luminance can be adjusted
from 0 to 100%, thus realizing the stepless luminance adjustment of the lighting apparatus
200.
[0039] In another alternative embodiment of the present invention, the first chip 31 is
electrically connected with the main control circuit 10, and in this case, the main
control circuit 10 outputs a high-level voltage by default, that is, the first detection
circuit is in an on state. At this time, the luminance of the lighting apparatus 200
is 100%. When the main control circuit 10 is turned off, the identification circuit
of the first chip 31 identifies a low-level voltage or fails to identify a level voltage.
At this time, the first detection circuit is not turned on, and the luminance of the
lighting apparatus 200 is 0, that is, the light source assembly 240 of the lighting
apparatus 200 is in an off state.
[0040] In another alternative embodiment of the present invention, the first chip 31 can
also realize the constant current output control of the lighting apparatus 200. That
is, when the first chip 31 detects an output overvoltage, short circuit or overtemperature
of the lighting apparatus 200, the first chip 31 can turn off the main control circuit
10, thereby protecting the lighting apparatus 200 and prolonging the service life
of the lighting apparatus 200. When the first chip 31 detects that the voltage, current
and temperature of the lighting apparatus 200 are normal, the main control circuit
10 can be turned on, so that the lighting apparatus 200 can continue to be used. It
can be known that the first chip 31 can also realize the constant current output control
of the lighting apparatus 200 in other ways, which is not limited in the present invention.
[0041] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the first chip 31 is in signal
connection with the main control circuit 10, and the second chip 32 is in signal connection
with the main control circuit 10 through the first chip 31. The second chip 32 is
configured to switch the color temperature of the lighting apparatus 200 by detecting
a pin signal of the first chip 31. By the second chip 32 being in signal connection
with the main control circuit 10 through the first chip 31, the design complexity
of the lighting circuit 30 is reduced, thereby reducing the cost of the control circuit
100. In other embodiments, the second chip 32 can also be directly in signal connection
with the main control circuit 10, and the color temperature of the lighting apparatus
200 can be switched by the signal of the main control circuit 10, which is not limited
in the present invention.
[0042] The second chip 32 includes at least two color adjustment circuits with different
color temperatures, and the second chip 32 is configured to control switching of the
color temperature of the lighting apparatus 200 by controlling the connection of the
color adjustment circuits.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second chip 32 includes two
color adjustment circuits with different color temperatures, that is, the second chip
32 is integrated with two thyristors of different color temperatures, and includes
a color adjustment circuit with a first color temperature and a color adjustment circuit
with a second color temperature, and the first color temperature is less than the
second color temperature. When a lower color temperature is needed, the second chip
32 controls the color adjustment circuit with the first color temperature to be connected,
and simultaneously controls the color adjustment circuit with the second color temperature
to be disconnected, and at this time, the color temperature output by the lighting
apparatus 200 is the first color temperature. When an intermediate color temperature
is needed, the second chip 32 controls the color adjustment circuit of the first color
temperature to be connected, and simultaneously controls the color adjustment circuit
with the second color temperature to be connected, and at this time, the color temperature
output by the lighting apparatus 200 is an average value of the first color temperature
and the second color temperature. When a higher color temperature is needed, the second
chip 32 controls the color adjustment circuit with the first color temperature to
be disconnected, and simultaneously controls the color adjustment circuit with the
second color temperature to be connected, and at this time, the color temperature
output by the lighting apparatus 200 is the second color temperature.
[0044] Optionally, the control circuit 100 further includes a memory circuit 70, and the
motor driving circuit 20 and/or the lighting circuit 30 is connected with the memory
circuit 70. In other words, the memory circuit 70 may only be connected with the motor

apparatus 200; or, the memory circuit 70 may only be connected with the first chip
31 in the lighting circuit 30, so as to memorize the luminance of the lighting apparatus
200; or, the memory circuit 70 may only be connected with the second chip 32 in the
lighting circuit 30, so as to memorize the color temperature of the lighting apparatus
200; or, the memory circuit 70 may only be connected with both the first chip 31 and
the second chip 32 in the lighting circuit 30, so as to memorize the luminance and
color temperature of the lighting apparatus 200; or, the memory circuit 70 may be
connected with both the motor driving circuit 20 and the lighting circuit 30, so as
to memorize the rotating speed of the motor of the lighting apparatus 200 and the
color temperature and luminance of the lighting apparatus 200. The present invention
is not limited thereto.
[0045] The memory circuit 70 includes a storage circuit and a timing circuit. The storage
circuit is configured to store a working state of the lighting apparatus 200 before
being turned off, and the timing circuit is configured to record a turning-off time
of the lighting apparatus 200. The main control circuit 10 is configured to compare
the turning-off time with a state switching window time in length, and control switching
of the working state of the lighting apparatus 200 according to a comparison result.
The state switching window time can be set by oneself, preferably 1-2s. In the case
where the turning-off time of the lighting apparatus 200 exceeds the state switching
window time, the memory circuit 70 memorizes the working state of the lighting apparatus
200 before being turned off, and the next time the lighting apparatus 200 is turned
on, it presents the working state of the lighting apparatus 200 before being turned
off. In the case where the turning-off time of the lighting apparatus 200 is less

turned on, it presents a new working state of the lighting apparatus 200. The working
state includes, but is not limited to, the rotating speed of the motor of the lighting
apparatus 200, the color temperature of the lighting apparatus 200 and the luminance
of the lighting apparatus 200. By providing the memory circuit 70, the first chip
31, whether it is in signal or electrical connection with the main control circuit
10, can synchronously realize the working state of the lighting apparatus 200.
[0046] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the memory circuit 70 is connected

next time the lighting apparatus 200 is turned on, it presents the color temperature
of the lighting apparatus 200 before being turned off. In the case where the turning-off
time of the lighting apparatus 200 is less than the state switching window time, the
next time the lighting apparatus 200 is turned on, it switches to a next color temperature
of the lighting apparatus 200. Preferably, the switching order of the color temperature
is first color temperature > second color temperature > an average value of the first
color temperature and the second color temperature.

[0050] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the first control terminal
310 is a wall switch, and the wall switch is electrically connected with the main
control circuit 10 of the lighting apparatus 200. The wall switch is configured to:
when the color temperature of the lighting apparatus 200 needs to be adjusted, adjust
the color temperature of the lighting apparatus 200 by the number of times the wall
switch being pressed and the turning-off time of the wall switch. When the luminance
of the lighting apparatus 200 needs to be adjusted, the wall switch is turned on,
and at this time, the main control circuit 10 outputs a high-level voltage by default,
and the luminance of the lighting apparatus 200 is 100%. The wall switch is turned
off, and at this time, the identification circuit of the first chip 31 identifies
a low-level voltage or fails to identify a level voltage, and the luminance of the
lighting apparatus 200 is 0, that is, the lighting apparatus 200 is turned off. When
the rotating speed of the lighting apparatus 200 needs to be adjusted, the wall switch
is turned on, and at this time, the main control circuit 10 outputs a high-level voltage
by default, and the motor of the lighting apparatus 200 is turned on at a preset speed.
The wall switch is turned off, and at this time, the lighting apparatus 200 is turned
off and the rotating speed is zero. Of course, in other embodiments, the wall switch
can also be configured to adjust the luminance, color temperature and rotating speed
of the lighting apparatus 200 by the number of times the wall switch being pressed
and comparing the turning-off time of the wall switch. This principle is the same
as that of adjusting the color temperature, and will not be repeated here.
[0051] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the second control terminal
320 is a remote controller, and the remote controller is in signal connection with
the main control circuit 10 of the lighting apparatus 200. The remote controller is
configured to: realize switching of the color temperature of the lighting apparatus
200 by continuously operating a switch button on the remote controller; realize changing
of luminance of the lighting apparatus 200 by continuously operating a luminance adjustment
button on the remote controller; realize changing of the rotating speed of the motor
of the lighting apparatus 200 by continuously operating a wind speed adjustment button
on the remote controller. It can be known that the change of the luminance of the
lighting apparatus 200 can be a stepless change or a segmented change. The change
of the rotating speed of the motor of the lighting apparatus 200 can be a stepless
change or a segmented change. The present application is not limited thereto. In a
preferred embodiment of the present invention, the luminance of the lighting apparatus
200 is controlled by the second control terminal 320 to change steplessly, that is,
the luminance of the lighting apparatus 200 can range from 0 to 100%. The rotating
speed of the motor of the lighting apparatus 200 is controlled by the second control
terminal 320 to change steplessly, that is, the rotating speed of the motor of the
lighting apparatus 200 can range from 0 to 100%. The remote controller is in signal
connection with the main control circuit 10 through radio frequency signals, so as
to realize stepless speed adjustment, stepless luminance adjustment and color temperature
switching of the lighting apparatus 200.
[0052] Taking luminance adjustment by the second control terminal 320 as an example, when
the main control circuit 10 receives a luminance adjustment signal from the second
control terminal 320, the main control circuit 10 decodes the signal, outputs a corresponding
ON/OFF/dimming signal according to the protocol, and controls the connection of the
first detection circuit in the first chip 31. When the identification circuit of the
first chip 31 identifies a low-level voltage, the first detection circuit is not turned
on. When the identification circuit of the first chip 31 identifies a high-level voltage,
the first detection circuit is turned on. When the identification circuit of the first
chip 31 identifies a dimming signal, the first detection circuit detects the duty
ratio of the PWM output by the main control circuit 10 to output a corresponding current,
so as to control the luminance of the lighting circuit 30. The luminance can be adjusted
from 0 to 100%, thus realizing the stepless luminance adjustment of the lighting apparatus
200. The principles of adjusting the color temperature and adjusting the rotating
speed by the second control terminal 320 are the same as the principles of adjusting
the color temperature and adjusting the rotating speed by the main control circuit
10 itself, which will not be repeated herein.
[0053] Optionally, the second control terminal 320 can also be other terminals or a combination
of various terminals, such as a mobile phone, a computer, etc.. The terminal is connected
with the control circuit 100 through the radio frequency receiving circuit 50, and
the terminal sends a control signal. After the radio frequency receiving circuit 50
receives the signal sent by the terminal, the rotating speed of the motor of the lighting
apparatus 200 and the color temperature and luminance of the lighting apparatus 200
are controlled and adjusted.
[0054] In an alternative embodiment, the lighting system includes a memory circuit 70, and
the memory circuit 70 is connected with the first control terminal 310 and also connected
with the second control terminal 320 at the same time. The memory circuit 70 is configured
to memorize the working state of the lighting apparatus 200 under the control of the
first control terminal 310 and the working state of the lighting apparatus 200 under
the control of the second control terminal 320, respectively, so as to synchronize
the control of the first control terminal 310 and the second control terminal 320.
The user can adjust the rotating speed, luminance and color temperature of the lighting
apparatus 200 whether using the first control terminal 310 or using the second control
terminal 320, so as to improve the convenience of the lighting system.
[0055] In summary, the control circuit 100 of the present invention integrates the motor
driving circuit 20 and the lighting circuit 30, the motor driving circuit 20 and the
lighting circuit 30 are directly controlled through one main control circuit 10, the
rotating speed of the motor in the lighting apparatus 200 is controlled through the
motor driving circuit 20, and the color temperature and luminance of the lighting
apparatus 200 are controlled through the first chip 31 and the second chip 32, thus
realizing stepless speed adjustment and stepless luminance adjustment of the lighting
apparatus 200 while adjusting the color temperature, and meeting the requirements
of diversified functions of the lighting apparatus 200. In addition, through the integration
design, the relay and part of the filter rectifier circuit are removed, which simplifies
the structure of the control circuit 100 and reduces the cost.
