[embodiment]
Fig. 1 illustrates the process flow diagram of the heating means of electronic component in the low temperature environment of one embodiment of the invention.Fig. 2 is the function block schematic diagram being illustrated in a kind of electronic installation in low temperature environment according to one embodiment of the invention.This electronic installation comprises heating arrangement 500 and electronic component 550.In low temperature environment, heating arrangement 500 can heat in advance electronic component 550 in start process.After the temperature of electronic component 550 is promoted to admissible temperature, this electronic installation is completed in-cycle work smoothly.
Under low temperature situation, for operating electronic device startup shown in Fig. 2, the temperature of the electronic component 550 of electronic installation inside must be heated to normal running temperature in advance, user can this electronic installation of normal running.Such as, time under-30 degree environment Celsius to notebook computer start and operation, the temperature of notebook computer internal hard drive machine must be heated to 0 degree Celsius in advance, and user can this notebook computer of normal running.
In the present embodiment, heating arrangement 500 comprises controller 510 (being such as embedded controller), power module 520 and well heater 530.Well heater 530 is configured at electronic component 550 (such as Winchester disk drive).Controller 510 is coupled to well heater 530 and power module 520.The built-in power module of electronic installation 520 (such as battery module or exchange breakout box) provides the electric energy needed for well heater 530.Controller 510 determines/adjusts work ratio (dutyratio), and according to this work than the well heater 530 of drive arrangements in electronic component 550, use the electronic component 550 of the electric energy of power module 520 to electronic installation inside to heat with control heater 530.When power module 520 is battery modules, the output voltage of battery module when low temperature must limit to some extent.For example; under low temperature situation; the usefulness of battery module output voltage is lower; if now well heater 530 uses whole output electric energy of battery module to heat electronic component 550 in large quantities; then may cause damage to battery module; also or battery module in low temperature over-discharge can, and cause battery module self-protection and cannot power supply be provided.Such as, if in the environment of-40 degree Celsius, if well heater 530 uses the electric energy Heating Electron element 550 of battery module constantly with 100% work ratio, then may cause damage to battery module.
Please refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, controller 510 can pass through the control chip of bus access power module 520, to know temperature and the output voltage values of power module 520.Such as, controller 510 can detect temperature and the output voltage values of power module 520 by System Management Bus (SM-Bus, SystemManagementBus).Controller 510 can dynamically determine work ratio according to the output voltage of power module 520, and according to work than controlling/driving well heater 530 (step S110).Well heater 530 heats electronic component 550 than the electric energy using power module 520 to provide according to this work.Owing to suffering damage in order to protection power source module 520 is unlikely, work has interdependent relation according to the output voltage of power module 520, so need the following step dynamic conditioning work ratio than needing.
Controller 510 carries out step S120 to judge whether the output voltage of power module 520 is greater than the first critical value.If the output voltage of power module 520 is greater than the first critical value, then controller 510 by work than being set as the first ratio (step S130).If the output voltage of power module 520 is not more than the first critical value, then controller 510 carries out step S140, to judge whether the output voltage of power module 520 is less than the second critical value.Wherein, described second critical value is less than the first critical value and is greater than zero.If the output voltage of power module 520 is less than the second critical value, then controller 510 by work than being set as the second ratio (step S150).Wherein, the second ratio is less than the first ratio.First ratio and the second ratio must determine it depending on actual product design requirement.Such as, described first ratio is 100%, and described second ratio is 0%.
Above-mentioned step S120 to step S150 is judging that the output voltage of power module 520 is whether in pre-set interval.If the output voltage of power module 520 is on pre-set interval, then work than being fixed to the first ratio.If the output voltage of power module 520 is under pre-set interval, then work than being fixed to the second ratio.If the output voltage of power module 520 is in pre-set interval, then controller 510 carries out step S160.Such as, if the output voltage of power module 520 is between the first critical value and the second critical value, then controller 510 is according to the output voltage dynamic conditioning work ratio of power module 520, make the output voltage of power module 520 and the difference of the second critical value, with work than proportional (step S160).That is, if the output voltage of power module 520 drops between two critical values, then utilize the output voltage of power module 520 to deduct the value of the second critical value, converse work ratio.Further, obtaining new work than afterwards, utilizing new work ratio to return step S110, utilizing new work than driving well heater 530.
For example, in step S160, controller 510 can adjust work ratio, makes described work than between the first ratio and the second ratio.Such as, by work than being set as (DH-DL) × [(V-VL)/(VH-VL)], wherein DH be less than 1 positive number, DL is the positive number being less than DH, V is the output voltage of power module 520, and VH is the first critical value, and VL is the second critical value.
For example, suppose that power module 520 is 8.1 volts in the output voltage of normal running temperature, therefore the first critical value VH in step S120 can be set to 8.1 volts (step S120).In another hypothesis power module 520, the low pressure self-protection point of battery controller is set as 6.6 volts.Mean, when the output voltage of power module 520 is lower than 6.6 volts, the infringement of power module 520 internal cell may be caused.Therefore, the second critical value VL in step S120 can be set to be greater than 6.6 volts and be less than any value of the first critical value VH (8.1 volts).Such as, conservatively the second critical value VL of step S140 can be set as 7.1 volts.Further, in order to not make power module 520 export than mode with 100% work, and cause electric quantity consumption too fast, so the first ratio in step S130 can be set as 75%, and the second ratio in step S150 is set to 0%.At the same time, can according to the design requirement of actual product the value of DH and DL in definition step S160, such as DH is 75% and DL is 10%.
Lift a concrete instance, please refer to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 illustrates the oscillogram of the duration of work (dutycycle) of the work ratio of one embodiment of the invention.If the output voltage of power module 520 is more than the first critical value (such as more than 8.1 volts), controller 510 drives the work of the control signal of well heater 530 than being then fixed as the first ratio (such as 75%, as shown in waveform D1).In the case, the fixing work ratio with 75% of controller 510 operates/drives well heater 530.If the output voltage of power module 520 is less than the second critical value (being such as less than 7.1 volts), then controller 510 drives the work of the control signal of well heater 530 ratio to be fixed as the second ratio (such as 10%, as shown in waveform D2).In the case, controller 510 is to fix the work of 10% than operation/driving well heater 530.If the output voltage of power module 520 is between the first critical value and the second critical value, such as, between 7.1 volts and 8.1 volts, then controller 510 drives the control signal of well heater 530 as shown in waveform D3.That is, controller 510 along with different output voltage values, can operate/drive well heater 530 with different work ratio.
In another embodiment, controller 510 also can in step S160 by work than being set as (DH-DL) × [(V-VL)/(VH-VL)]+DL.Work ratio is adjusted by this step S160, when the output voltage of power module 520 is between first and second critical value, can by obtained work than between the scope being limited in DL and DH.
Fig. 4 illustrates the graph of a relation of the output voltage of the power module 520 of one embodiment of the invention and the work ratio of well heater 530.Please refer to Fig. 4, in the present embodiment, first ratio of step S130 is second ratio of 75%, step S150 is 0%, the DH of step S160 is 75%, the DL of step S160 be 10%, step S120 the first critical value VH be 8.1, and the second critical value VL of step S140 is 7.1.Step S160, by above-mentioned work relational expression (DH-DL) × [(V-VL)/(VH-VL)]+DL than setting, can obtain the graph of a relation of the output voltage V as Fig. 4 and work ratio.As shown in Figure 4, when the output voltage V of power module 520 is greater than the first critical value (V > 8.1), the work ratio of well heater 530 is fixed as the first ratio 75%.When the output voltage V of power module 520 is less than the second critical value (V < 7.1), the work ratio of well heater 530 is fixed as the second ratio 0%.At the output voltage V of power module 520 between two critical values time (V=7.1 ~ 8.1), the output voltage V of power module 520 and the work of well heater 530 are than linear.
Subsidiary one carries, and in practical application, work can operate well heater 530 than the mode being incorporated into pulse wave width modulation (PWM, PulseWidthModulation) by controller 510.It should be noted that when low temperature, such as, when spending lower than Celsius-30, the output of power module 520 internal cell is comparatively close to the second critical value VL, then controller 510 can turn down the work ratio of well heater 530, with protection power source module 520.But can heat energy be discharged in the discharge process of power module 520 internal cell, make the temperature of battery itself gradually to increase.When power module 520 internal battery-temperature slowly rises, its discharging efficiency may be better and better, and namely the output voltage of power module 520 internal cell may raise gradually.In this process, if controller 510 is constantly detected the output voltage of power module 520 internal cell and is dynamically changed the work ratio of well heater 530 according to this, then can along with the trend of cell output voltage, by the work of well heater 530 than increasing together according to above-mentioned step.
In an embodiment of the present invention, in the device of if desired low-temperature operation, there is the first electronic component and the second electronic component, by following step, with primary heater and secondary heater, respectively to the first electronic component (such as the first hard disk) and the second electronic component (such as the second hard disk) heating.Fig. 5 illustrates the process flow diagram of the heating means in the low temperature environment of one embodiment of the invention with two electronic components.The present embodiment be analogized/be applied to implementation described in Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 can.Please refer to Fig. 5, primary heater is configured in the first electronic component, and secondary heater is configured in the second electronic component (step S210).Controller can obtain work ratio according to the method for embodiment described in Fig. 1 to Fig. 4.Controller drives primary heater and secondary heater respectively according to work ratio.Driven primary heater and secondary heater can use the electric energy of power module and heat the first electronic component and the second electronic component respectively.Wherein, (step S220) is not overlapped during the activation of primary heater with during the activation of secondary heater.
In the step S220 of above-described embodiment, owing to needing the first electronic component and the second electronic component to be by the time all heated to normal running temperature in electronic installation, such as 0 degree Celsius, just can normally start, therefore controller is in turn to two electronic component heating, can improve the effective utilization of well heater.Therefore, do not overlap during the activation of the primary heater of above-mentioned steps with during the activation of secondary heater.That is, when heating the first electronic component, then not to the second electronic component heating, vice versa.
As mentioned above, in order to overlap during not making the activation of primary heater with during the activation of secondary heater, then the mode all giving primary heater and secondary heater by the duration of work of the ratio that works is reached.Fig. 6 illustrates the oscillogram during the primary heater of one embodiment of the invention and the activation of secondary heater.Please refer to Fig. 6, waveform T1 for controller carry out flow process described in Fig. 1 after the work ratio that calculates, wherein this work ratio has duration of work 610.By the duration of work 610 of mean allocation waveform T1, controller can produce two control signal TA, TB respectively to primary heater and secondary heater, does not overlap mutually during making the activation of different heating device.Wherein, during the duration of work 611 of control signal TA is the activation of primary heater, and during the duration of work 612 of control signal TB is the activation of secondary heater.Above-mentioned duration of work 610 is for being more than or equal to duration of work 611 and duration of work 612 sum.
When the temperature of this first electronic component reaches normal running temperature, and when the temperature of this second electronic component not yet reaches normal running temperature, the duration of work 610 of this work ratio can all be distributed to this secondary heater by controller.That is, duration of work 611 is reduced to 0, and duration of work 612 is added to grow to equals duration of work 610.Otherwise when the temperature of this second electronic component reaches normal running temperature, and when the temperature of this first electronic component not yet reaches normal running temperature, the duration of work 610 of this work ratio can all be distributed to this primary heater by controller.That is, duration of work 612 is reduced to 0, and duration of work 611 is added to grow to equals duration of work 610.

Fig. 8 illustrates another oscillogram during the primary heater of another embodiment of the present invention and the activation of secondary heater.Please refer to Fig. 8, waveform T1 for controller carry out flow process described in Fig. 1 after the work ratio that calculates, wherein this work ratio has duration of work 610.Waveform TA is the control signal that primary heater exported to by controller, and wherein this control signal TA has duration of work (during activation) 613.Waveform TB is the control signal that secondary heater exported to by controller, and wherein this control signal TB has duration of work (during activation) 614.As shown in Figure 8, duration of work 613 is overlapped in duration of work 614, and duration of work 613 is not more than duration of work 610 with the summation of duration of work 614.That is, primary heater and secondary heater can be operated respectively to the first electronic component and the heating of the second electronic component simultaneously, but during the activation of primary heater with the activation of secondary heater during summation be not more than duration of work 610.
As mentioned above, if the electronic component that need heat is more than two, the duration of work of the work ratio of the output voltage of power module then can distribute its duration of work 610 to each well heater according to quantity, therefore the heatable number of electronic components of the present invention is not limited to above-mentioned.
Except work ratio, for some embodiments, the heating means of electronic component it should be noted that whether electronic component 550 arrives normal running temperature.Fig. 9 illustrates the process flow diagram of Heating Electron element to operating temperature method of one embodiment of the invention.In the present embodiment, heating arrangement 500 further comprises temperature sensor 540, as shown in Figure 2.Temperature sensor 540 is configured at electronic component 550.Temperature sensor 540 is coupled to controller 510 by bus.Such as, controller 510 is by the sensing value of System Management Bus reading temperature sensor 540.Please refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 9, controller 510 can detect the temperature (step S310) of electronic component 550 (such as hard disk) by temperature sensor 540.When the temperature of electronic component 550 reaches normal running temperature, controller 510 stops driving well heater 530 (step S320), and starts electronic component 550 (S330).By above-mentioned three steps, then when cold-starting electronic component, can learn whether the electronic component of device inside has been in exercisable temperature, and when not damaging power module 520, reach the object of electronic component 550 being carried out to heating operation.When the temperature of electronic component 550 reaches normal running temperature, controller 510 control heater 530 stops Heating Electron element 550.

In step S720, if judge, battery temperature is lower than-17 degree Celsius, then first preheat a period of time (such as three minutes) (step S730) to the element (such as central processing unit etc.) of system.In the present embodiment, step S730 can use heating means as described in Figure 1, and the method namely according to cell output voltage dynamic conditioning work ratio carrys out drive system element so that preheating system/battery.
Next, except continued power preheats to system element, battery (power module) also supplies electrical power to well heater to heat hard disk a period of time (step S740).Next step S750 is carried out, to judge the output voltage work ratio of battery temperature and dynamic conditioning power module.In the present embodiment, step S740 or step S750 can use heating means as described in Figure 1, method namely according to cell output voltage dynamic conditioning work ratio drives well heater to heat hard disk, and/or is that drive system element is so that preheating system/battery.
Moreover whether controller detecting hard disk temperature arrives a normal boot-strap temperature (step S760).If when the temperature of hard disk is not higher than normal boot-strap lowest temperature, then gets back to step S740 and proceed system and preheat and heat hard disk.Otherwise if hard disk temperature is higher than normal boot-strap lowest temperature, then preheat end to system, hard disk heating also terminates, and postpones a period of time (such as three seconds) (step S770), to prevent transient voltage too high.In this, then can start normal booting procedure (step S780).
