DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0026] Advantages and features of the inventive concept and methods of accomplishing the same may be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description of embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0027] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a dual color temperature vehicle lamp according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention comprises a vehicle lamp body 1 in the form of an LED. The vehicle lamp body 1 includes a light emitting unit 2 capable of performing a conversion of at least two kinds of color temperature light. A front end face of the vehicle lamp body 1 is provided with at least one invisible light emitting source 3, at least one reflected light receiver 4, and a partition plate 5 between the invisible light emitting source 3 and the reflected light receiver 4. The invisible light emitting source 3 is embedded in a recess at the front end of the vehicle lamp body 1, having a front end not beyond the front end face of the vehicle lamp body 1. The vehicle lamp body 1 includes a preamplifier circuit connected with the reflected light receiver 4, an MCU (Microprogrammed Control Unit) connected with the preamplifier circuit, and a wireless transceiver module connected with the MCU therein.

[0028] The invisible light emitting source 3 is an ultraviolet light emitting diode, and the emitted light wavelength is 400 nm. The reflected light receiver 4 is a phototransistor. The vehicle lamp body 1 is provided with an LED lamp bead having a dual color temperature conversion function. The wireless transceiver module is an RF433 module.

[0029] When in use, the phototransistor is used to receive the ambient light which may be blocked by particles in the air, water droplets, and the environment itself and converts the received signal into an electric signal to the amplifier circuit. The amplified circuit amplifies the signal by a preset multiple, and the amplified signal is sent to some of the pins of the MCU. The MCU analyzes the electrical signal to judge the 38 KHZ electrical signal. The voltage intensity value of the signal value is recorded, and the working color temperature of the light emitting unit in the vehicle lamp body is controlled by the comparison result according to the voltage intensity value. The RF433 module is used to wirelessly control the working state of another vehicle lamp having a built-in R433 module and a dual color temperature conversion function so as to realize a synchronous color temperature conversion of two vehicle lamps.

[0030] FIG. 2 is a schematic view according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the present invention includes a vehicle lamp body 6 and a control box 7. The vehicle lamp body 6 is communicated with the control box 7 by radio frequency signals. The vehicle lamp body 1 includes a light emitting unit 2 capable of performing a conversion of at least two kinds of color temperature light. The vehicle lamp body 6 comprises a light emission control circuit and a wireless transceiver module therein. At least one invisible light emitting source, at least one reflected light receiver, and a partition plate between the invisible light emitting source and the reflected light receiver are provided on the control box 7. The control box 7 includes a preamplifier circuit connected with the reflected light receiver, an MCU (Microprogrammed Control Unit) connected with the preamplifier circuit, and another wireless transceiver module connected with the MCU therein.

[0031] When in use, the invisible light emitting source of the control box 7 emits ultraviolet light of 350 nm and converts the received signal into an electronic signal to the amplifier circuit. The amplified circuit amplifies the signal by a preset multiple, and the amplified signal is sent to some of the pins of the MCU. The MCU analyzes the electrical signal to judge the 38 KHZ electrical signal. The voltage intensity value of the signal value is recorded according to the voltage intensity value to make a comparison, and the comparison result is transmitted to the vehicle lamp body 6 through the RF433, thereby realizing a synchronous color temperature conversion of two vehicle lamp bodies 6.

More particularly, various variations and modifications are possible in the component parts and/or arrangements of the subject combination arrangement within the scope of the disclosure, the drawings and the appended claims. In addition to variations and modifications in the component parts and/or arrangements, alternative uses will also be apparent to those skilled in the art.
