Abstract

A lighting control system comprises a router installed with a Zigbee gateway, and at least one set of lighting devices; the lighting device includes a Zigbee control module, a power supply module and a lamp; the Zigbee gateway converts a wireless signal received by the router for controlling the operation of the lamp into a digital signal of the Zigbee protocol and transmits the digital signal to the Zigbee control module; and the Zigbee control module converts the digital signal into a control signal required to adjust the lamp, and the control signal controls an electric signal output to the lamp by the power supply module to control the operation of the lamp. Using Zigbee signals to build a lighting control system facilitates ad hoc networking and can realize multi-point control of lamps.

Claims (29)

1. A lighting control system, comprising:

a router installed with a Zigbee gateway, and at least one set of lighting devices;

each of the lighting devices comprises a Zigbee control module, a power supply module connected to the Zigbee control module, and a lamp connected to the power supply module;

the Zigbee gateway communicates signals with the Zigbee control module through the Zigbee protocol;

the Zigbee gateway converts a wireless signal received by the router for controlling the operation of the lamp into a digital signal of the Zigbee protocol, and transmits the digital signal to the Zigbee control module; and

the Zigbee control module converts the digital signal transmitted by the Zigbee gateway into a control signal required to adjust the lamp, and the control signal controls an electric signal output to the lamp by the power supply module to control the operation of the lamp,

wherein the system further comprises a terminal; and the terminal transmits the wireless signal for adjusting the operation of the lamp to the router through wireless network,

and wherein the terminal comprises a selection module, a light configuration module connected to the selection module, a light effect storage module connected to the light configuration module, an invoking module connected to the selection module and the light effect storage module, and a transmitting module connected to the invoking module;

the selection module is used for a user to configure a required scenario mode or invoke a scenario mode stored by the light effect storage module;

the light configuration module configures a scenario mode according to the user's input signal and stores the configured scenario mode into the light effect storage module;

the invoking module invokes a scenario mode stored by the light effect storage module according to an instruction of the selection module and transmits the invoked scenario mode to the transmitting module; and

the transmitting module generates a wireless signal corresponding to the received scenario mode, and transmits the wireless signal to the router.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless signal transmitted by the terminal to the router is a Wifi signal.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the lamp in the lighting device comprises multiple lamp beads emitting monochromic light; and

the power supply module comprises power supply sub-modules connected to the lamp beads in a one-to-one manner.

4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the light in the lighting device comprises multiple lamp beads emitting light rays with different chromatic temperatures; and

the power supply module comprises power supply sub-modules connected to the lamp beads in a one-to-one manner.

5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the lighting device further comprises a power source converting module; and

the power source converting module is connected to an external power source and is also connected to the Zigbee control module and the power supply module respectively, used to convert the voltage of the external power source into the usage voltages of the Zigbee control module and the power supply module.

6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the lighting device further comprises a detection module for detecting the brightness of the lamp; and

the detection module is connected to the Zigbee control module and the lamp, and the detection module transmits the brightness information of the lamp to the Zigbee gateway through the Zigbee control module.

7. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the lamp in the lighting device comprises multiple lamp beads emitting monochromic light; and

the power supply module comprises power supply sub-modules connected to the lamp beads in a one-to-one manner.

8. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the lamp in the lighting device comprises multiple lamp beads emitting monochromic light; and

the power supply module comprises power supply sub-modules connected to the lamp beads in a one-to-one manner.

9. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the light in the lighting device comprises multiple lamp beads emitting light rays with different chromatic temperatures; and

the power supply module comprises power supply sub-modules connected to the lamp beads in a one-to-one manner.

10. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the light in the lighting device comprises multiple lamp beads emitting light rays with different chromatic temperatures; and

the power supply module comprises power supply sub-modules connected to the lamp beads in a one-to-one manner.
