Abstract

The method of controlling a fan involves connecting fans of a first type to the socket, whereby the first type receives a supply voltage which is independent of rotation rate and whose rotation rate is controlled by a rotation rate control signal. Fans of a second type are also connected to the socket. The rotation rate of these is controlled by varying the supply voltage. First, an operating mode for controlling the first type of fans is set, where the supply voltage is kept constant and the rotation rate is controlled via the control signal. Then, the actual rotation rate of the fan is derived and analyzed. The first operating mode is maintained if the rotation rate changes on varying the control signal. A second operating mode is set for controlling the second type of fan in the event that the rotation rate has not changed with variation in the rotation rate control signal. - Independent claims also cover apparatus for controlling the fan.

Description

The method and apparatus of control fan
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of the fan of control linkage on a socket, the fan that wherein on this socket, can connect one first structure type, this fan is imported a supply voltage that does not rely on rotating speed, and its rotating speed is controlled by a speed controling signal, and can connect the fan of one second structure type, its rotating speed is by the supply voltage Be Controlled.The invention still further relates to a kind of device that is used to control fan in addition.
Background technology
Integration density and more and more higher pulsed frequency along with increasing also raise to the demand of cooling off single parts in computing machine.For example to processor by be used to increase surface and passive convection current on to put the cooling of cooling body usually not enough.Be generally and support cooling to use independently fan, its air-flow is applied directly on the cooling body of temperature sensitive assembly.Usually do not need long-term the mistake at a high speed of fan to change.For processor, for example have only the very high application of calculating strength just to require the maximum (top) speed of fan.Because the high rotating speed of fan interrelates mostly with to the high noise load of user, therefore be worth making every effort to make the rotating speed of fan to meet the needs of and attenuating as far as possible.For this purpose, adopt the temperature that for example depends on processor to reduce the controller of rotation speed of the fan.Have a velocity gauge output, the actual speed that can determine, monitor and regulate fan by this output mostly at this situation fan.This controller is realized on mainboard usually in PC.So mounted fan is connected with this controller with cable by connector on processor.
In the first new structure type of fan, be used to change idle and signal for example pulse-length modulation of controller output of rotating speed.This fan is provided with a device and analyzes the signal of this pulse-length modulation and change rotating speed into.In this situation, fan has usually and is used for carrying out two inputs of electric current power supply, a velocity gauge output and a control that is used for rotating speed control with constant supply voltage and imports, and it is also referred to as 4 line fans below.The principle of this rotating speed control can certainly realize with the wiring of other number.
Change by the fan supply voltage in common second structure type in the market of fan realizes rotating speed control.Often have two input and velocity gauge outputs that are used for the electric current power supply at this known form of implementation apoplexy fan pass, it is also referred to as 3 line fans below.This principle is not imposed with accurate 3 wiring yet and is linked together in addition.Being controlled at of rotating speed can accomplished in various ways in this structure type.When rotating speed is controlled by the height of supply voltage, in the topworks on the computer motherboard a corresponding loss power can appear.Size must be selected like this by this topworks, makes also can not broken down by big electric current and the big power attenuation that occurs in this situation in the situation of blocked fan.Selectable in addition scheme is, a monitoring means is set, unusual big electric current when this unit is identified in blocked fan, and block this topworks so that protection is not subjected to the influence of lossy power.These two kinds of schemes are all with big expense with accordingly the area requirements of mainboard is interrelated.If the rotating speed of 3 line fans is controlled its supply voltage by pulse-length modulation in contrast, then by signal with more powerful pulse-length modulation attached on the line that is about 20cm between mainboard and the fan and the interference emission that produces plays negative interaction to the miscellaneous part of computing machine.
The known in addition fan that tacho signal is not provided.Can try to achieve rotating speed by the commutating pulse in the load current that is identified in fan so.
The current 3 line fans that in commercial PC, use with few exceptions.But can predict, in mainboard of future generation, can find growing 4 line fans application.So have a transit time, in this transit time both in mainboard also two kinds of forms of implementation of this in fan all on market, exist.
3 lines and 4 line fans use the plug of same series plug.Exist compatible completely in mechanical aspects: 3 lines and 4 line plugs match with 3 utmost points and 4 pole sockets mutually, and the reverse polarity protection wherein is provided in all cases.The electrical contact layout of plug and socket causes, and the 3 line fans that insert 4 pole sockets are with the highest rotating speed operation, and in contrast, the 4 line fans that insert 3 pole sockets are in a kind of nondeterministic statement.The two is not favourable.Under best situation, have only rotating speed not reduce, thus can not reducing noise, and the original purpose of fan control can not realize thus.In the worst case, can not provide processor enough coolings, this can cause system failure or close.
A conspicuous solution is, is provided for the socket of two kinds of fan type on mainboard, if this situation is arranged, has controller separately.But do not get rid of the danger of exchanging between two types thus.This in addition solution causes improving the manufacturing cost of mainboard, and has also occupied added space on circuit board.
Summary of the invention
Therefore task of the present invention is, a kind of method and apparatus of controlling fan is provided, making it possible to control the fan of access in the variable mode of rotating speed, is the fan (4 line fan) or the fan of second structure type (3 line fan) of first structure type and do not rely on related.
This task solves by a kind of method of controlling fan, and wherein, the fan that identification is connected on the socket is first structure type or second structure type, and controls fan according to the structure type of fan in the method.
In an advantageous embodiments of this method, the step of identification fan structure type and control fan is such,
-at first be made as one first method of operation of the fan that is used to control first structure type, constant maintenance supply voltage (V) in this method of operation, and by speed controling signal (DS) control rotating speed,
-obtain and analyze the actual speed of fan when changing speed controling signal (DS) then,
-if rotating speed changes when changing speed controling signal, then keeps first method of operation,
-if rotating speed does not change when changing speed controling signal, then is made as second method of operation by the control second structure type fan of supply voltage (V) control rotating speed.
Therefore discern according to the present invention a connection fan structure type and can be correctly and rotating speed drive fan controllably.And a unique plug is just enough on mainboard, gets rid of the type that is at every turn caused by the user thus and changes dangerous.The input that is used for rotating speed control by its function identification has and the irrelevant advantage of the detailed version of fan.This advantage does not provide in the embodiment that for example carries out fan type identification by the impedance of control input.And the stage of identification fan structure type is very short, and cognitive phase does not influence cooling thus.So at any time can both guarantee enough to derive heat, particularly when bringing into operation, need cooling hardly.
In another form of implementation of this method, the fan of second structure type is by the supply voltage control that is used for rotating speed control of a pulse width-modulated.Preferred in addition, can read in externally measured value and set-point, and regulate rotating speed according to these values.
Be used to be operatively connected to the method for the fan on the socket, wherein on this socket, the fan that can connect first structure type, its supply is not relied on the supply voltage of rotating speed, and control its rotating speed by a speed controling signal, and the fan that can connect second structure type, control its rotating speed by changing supply voltage, wherein: first method of operation that at first is provided for controlling the fan of first structure type, constant maintenance supply voltage in this method of operation, and by speed controling signal control rotating speed, obtain and analyze the actual speed of fan when changing speed controling signal then, if rotating speed changes when changing speed controling signal, then keep first method of operation, if rotating speed does not change when changing speed controling signal, second method of operation by the control second structure type fan of supply voltage control rotating speed is set then.
Be used to control the device of fan, have: first device, be used to control the fan of first structure type, supply with the supply voltage that does not rely on rotating speed for this fan, and control its rotating speed by a speed controling signal, second device, be used to control the fan of second structure type, control its rotating speed by changing supply voltage, an equipment, be used for determining the actual speed of fan by reading in and analyze tacho signal, a storer and a comparer at the rotation speed of the fan value, wherein said comparer compares and provides as output signal being stored in the actual speed value in the described storer and the actual speed value of this equipment, a control device, be used for regulation and change described speed controling signal, and install or activate described second device according to the output activation signal of described comparer described first.
Other that gives described method and apparatus in addition preferably expanded.
Description of drawings
Describe the present invention in detail with reference to an embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings below.
Fig. 1 illustrates the frame circuit diagram of an embodiment of described device.
Fig. 2 illustrates a process flow diagram of described method.
Embodiment
Fig. 1 illustrates the device that the method according to this invention is used to control fan.Socket 1 is used to connect the fan as the different types of structure of mentioning when beginning.Socket 1 has ground terminal GND, is used to provide the terminal V of supply voltage, at the terminal DS of speed controling signal with at the terminal TS of tacho signal.Socket 1 is connected with the device 2 that is used to read in analyzing tacho signal TS, and the actual speed of fan is provided at its output terminal.The output terminal of device 2 is connected with control module 4 with storer 3.Connect comparer 5 on storer 3, the tachometer value of its check storage in storer 3 equates or does not wait.Relatively the time, also can get first value and directly get second value from storer from installing 2.The output of comparer 5 imports control module 4 equally.In addition, control module 4 has one or more input end, for example is used to read at the set-point SW of temperature or rotating speed and has one or more input end, for example is used to read in the measured value MW at the current processor temperature.As output, control module 4 provides speed controling signal DS and operating mode control signal BS.Speed controling signal DS is arranged in socket 1 on the one hand and is transformed to a variable supply voltage Vvar at driver 6 on the other hand.Depend on operating mode control signal BS, change-over switch 7 links to each other with the terminal of the supply voltage V on the socket 1 or with the output (V=Vvar) of driver 6, perhaps links to each other with a constant supply voltage source (V=Vcc).
Socket 1 mechanically designs with electric going up so, makes it possible to insert the commercial fan (3 lines or 4 line fans) of above-mentioned two kinds of structure types.At this 3 line fan contact ground terminal GND, supply voltage terminal V and tacho signal terminal TS.4 line fans also contact the terminal that is used for idle speed controling signal DS in addition except that described 3 terminals.3 line rotation speeds of the fan are changed can only be just possible by the change of supply voltage V, and this point both can also can realize by pulse-length modulation supply voltage V by the size that changes supply voltage.In contrast, 4 line fan supply voltage V are kept constant, rotating speed changes by one in fan device to be carried out, and it can analyze idle speed controling signal DS.Can realize like this in this change-over switch 7 and driver 6, promptly on-off element for example a final stage transistor take over this two kinds of functions.So for example having 100% corresponding to one, the output of a constant supply voltage connects the supply voltage of the pulse-length modulation of ratio.
Fig. 2 illustrates identification with process flow diagram and controls the method for fan, and this method is beginning after fan being inserted socket 1 or connecting described device.At first first method of operation is set, in this method of operation, exports a constant supply voltage V=Vcc to fan via operating mode control signal BS and change-over switch 7 by control module 4.Via one first rotating speed of speed controling signal DS regulation, it is for example corresponding to the maximum (top) speed of fan.Stand-by period through a measurement is determined the actual speed of fan by analyze tacho signal TS in unit 2, and stores in storer.Thereafter via one second rotating speed of DS regulation, it is fully different with first rotating speed, that is for example is 50% of maximum (top) speed.In fact the actual speed of She Zhiing storage in a similar manner once more.The value of being stored by comparer 5 relatively.When these two actual values not simultaneously, this means that this fan can analyze speed controling signal and will continue to be driven under this method of operation.When the actual speed of two storages not not simultaneously, fan does not have the device of analyzing speed controling signal DS.In this situation, switch to the method for operation that changes the supply voltage of fan for the control rotating speed.For this purpose, change-over switch 7 will link to each other with the output terminal of driver 6 at the terminal of the supply voltage V of fan, i.e. V=Vvar.
Said method can adapt to various demands very neatly.Be the control rotating speed, speed controling signal DS also can or change its size or this pulse-length modulation as variable supply voltage Vvar.Can so design control module 4 in addition, make it possible to read in set-point SW, for example rotating speed of a hope, an and measured value MW, the temperature of cooling package for example, and for control or regulate rotating speed and draw.Equally, can infer a kind of also can connect and correct driving not with the enforcement of the fan of tacho signal.In this situation, the commutating pulse of load current that can be by analyzing fan is determined actual speed.
Described setting is specially adapted to PC.In this situation, controller is arranged on the mainboard and fan is used to the cooling processing device.This setting can be used as a unique integrated circuit and realizes.Can give known assembly equally, for example be used to have only a kind of assembly of thermoregulator controller of fan of structure type, replenish other new assembly, so that realize described control.According to the present invention at socket of mainboard on needs.The solution of being introduced has been considered the requirement of manufacturer to compactedness thus.
