The metal guide wire <NUM> penetrates the stem body <NUM>, one terminal of the metal guide wire is connected to the driving power supply <NUM>, and the other terminal of the metal guide wire is connected to the LED filament <NUM>, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the LED filament <NUM> and the driving power supply <NUM>.

The LED filament <NUM> includes the substrate <NUM>, the first pin <NUM> arranged at one end of the substrate <NUM>, the second pin <NUM> arranged at the other end of the substrate <NUM>, the first LED chip set <NUM> arranged on the substrate <NUM>, and the second LED chip set <NUM> arranged on the substrate <NUM>. The substrate <NUM> is used to assemble the first pin <NUM>, the second pin <NUM>, the first LED chip set <NUM>, and the second LED chip set <NUM>, so as to facilitate the assembly of the LED filament <NUM> into an integral structure. The first pin <NUM> is arranged at the one end of the substrate <NUM> and is electrically connected to the metal guide wire <NUM>, thereby realizing the electrical connection of the LED filament <NUM>.

In the LED filament lamp with a variable color temperature provided by the present invention, the LED filament is of an integral structure. Through the arrangement of the DIP switch <NUM>, the first pin <NUM> and the second pin <NUM> can switch the positive pole or the negative pole of the output terminal of the driving power supply according to actual needs, thereby realizing the switching of different color temperatures. The LED filament lamp is convenient for users, simple in structure, and low in cost.

The DIP switch in the above embodiment is a mechanical switch, that is, the color temperature of the LED filament needs to be adjusted manually. For some filament lamps whose color temperatures need to be changed frequently and which are installed at high places, the above embodiment brings some inconvenience to the user. On the basis of this, the present embodiment solves the above problem through the arrangement of electronic switches.

The technical solution of the present embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment I, except that an electronic switch is used to replace the DIP switch, specifically: as shown in <FIG>, an LED filament lamp with a variable color temperature includes a lamp cap <NUM>, a casing <NUM>, a mounting piece <NUM> connected to the lamp cap <NUM>, a stem <NUM> arranged in the casing <NUM>, an LED filament <NUM> arranged on the stem <NUM>, a control switch <NUM>' connected to the stem <NUM>, and a driving power supply <NUM> connected to the control switch <NUM>'. The casing <NUM> and the stem <NUM> are sealingly connected to form a closed cavity, and the LED filament <NUM> is located inside the cavity.

As shown in <FIG>, in other implementations, the driving power supply <NUM> may be directly arranged in the lamp cap <NUM> without the mounting piece, and then the control switch may be arranged on the driving power supply <NUM>, which is not limited to the present embodiment.

As shown in <FIG>, the LED filament <NUM> includes a substrate <NUM>, a first pin <NUM> arranged at one end of the substrate <NUM>, a second pin <NUM> arranged at the other end of the substrate <NUM>, a first LED chip set <NUM> arranged on the substrate <NUM>, and a second LED chip set <NUM> arranged on the substrate <NUM>. A positive pole of the first LED chip set <NUM> and a negative pole of the second LED chip set <NUM> are connected to the first pin <NUM>. A negative pole of the first LED chip set <NUM> and a positive pole of the second LED chip set <NUM> are connected to the second pin <NUM>.

The control switch <NUM>' is arranged on the driving power supply <NUM>, and the control switch <NUM>' is connected to the first pin <NUM> and the second pin <NUM>.

As shown in <FIG>, the control switch <NUM>' includes two groups of electronic switches <NUM>' and a switch detection circuit <NUM>' respectively connected to the two groups of electronic switches <NUM>'. The two groups of electronic switches <NUM>' are electrically connected to the first LED chip set <NUM> and the second LED chip set <NUM> respectively, so as to enable or disable the first LED chip set <NUM> and the second LED chip set <NUM>.

Specifically, the two groups of electronic switches <NUM>' are composed of four switches (a switch S1, a switch S2, a switch S3, and a switch S4). The switch is a triode or a MOS tube. The two groups of electronic switches <NUM>' are respectively a first electronic switch group and a second electronic switch group. The first electronic switch group is electrically connected to the first LED chip set <NUM>, and as shown in <FIG>, the first electronic switch group is composed of two switches, namely the switch S1 and the switch S4 respectively. The second electronic switch group is electrically connected to the second LED chip set <NUM>, and is composed of two switches, namely the switch S2 and the switch S3 respectively.

The four switches form a bridge circuit respectively connected to an output terminal of the driving power supply, the first pin, and the second pin.

The switch detection circuit <NUM>' receives an external signal and is used for on-off control of the first electronic switch group and the second electronic switch group, and its model is SM2212EK.

During operation, when the switch detection circuit <NUM>' turns on the first electronic switch group, the second electronic switch group is turned off, and the electrical signal of the driving power supply sequentially passes through the switch S1, the first LED chip set, and the switch S4 to form a loop, such that the first LED chip set is illuminated.

When the switch detection circuit <NUM>' turns on the second electronic switch group, the first electronic switch group is turned off, and the electrical signal of the driving power supply sequentially passes through the switch S3, the second LED chip set, and the switch S2 to form a loop, such that the second LED chip set is illuminated.

The control switch <NUM>' receives the external switch signal, turns on the first electronic switch group and illuminates the first LED chip set, or turns on the second electronic switch group and illuminates the second LED chip set, thereby realizing intelligent switching of color temperatures of the LED filament, which is convenient to use.
