Description

Method for controlling fan switch and controller thereof
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, and more particularly, to a method for controlling a fan switch and a controller thereof.
Background
At present, a heat dissipation fan is often installed inside an electrical appliance for heat dissipation inside the electrical appliance. The existing fan switch can be roughly divided into two modes: a constant temperature switch fan method and a timing switch fan method.
The method of switching the fan at a constant temperature may be to switch the fan on and off according to the temperature, to switch the fan on at a high temperature point, and to switch the fan off at a low temperature point. The fan control method is a common fan control method, for example, an energy storage battery cooling fan for industrial application, a switch relay has a certain service life, excessive consumption can cause that the switch relay cannot be closed or opened, long-time opening can excessively consume electric quantity, the energy utilization rate is very low, and a common method is a constant temperature switch fan. For another example, a method of switching a fan at a constant temperature is also widely adopted for heat dissipation of a notebook computer, heat dissipation of an induction cooker and the like which are common in families. The method is simple in implementation mode and high in universality, and can basically meet most working conditions. However, the fan cannot be switched on and off at a constant temperature, so that the damage and the aging of a switch cannot be accurately estimated, the accuracy can be increased only by experience and working condition tests, and the quality of a product cannot be effectively controlled; on the other hand, the unscientific definition of the switch temperature can cause the switch and the fan to be damaged quickly.
The method for turning on and off the fan in a timing mode can be a method for turning on and off the fan in a timing mode according to experience, such as turning on for three minutes and turning off for two minutes. For example, in an area with a large day-night temperature difference, due to the difference of the ambient temperature, the indoor unit can be turned on to dissipate heat in the morning, and turned off in the evening to realize the timing switch of the fan. The method has the advantages that the loss of the switching value and the fan can be confirmed, and the product quality can be effectively evaluated according to the characteristics of the switching value and the fan and by depending on the working condition test. The disadvantage is that the product cannot be effectively cooled in real time, and the fan may still be started at low temperature and stopped at high temperature. Thus, the function of the fan to dissipate heat is weakened.
In the control technology of the heat radiation fan, the following problems are mainly considered: heat dissipation function, ratio of power consumption to effect of the heat dissipation fan, life of the fan, and life of the switch. The fixed temperature switch fan cannot control the service life of the switch, so that the product type selection and the product maintenance are difficult. The timing switch fan heat dissipation function cannot achieve the best effect, and even if the switch service life is effectively controlled, the original heat dissipation function is reduced.

Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
A method of controlling a fan switch and a controller thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method of controlling a fan switch according to one embodiment of the present invention. The method may be performed by a controller that controls a fan switch.
And 101, determining the target interval time of the switch of the fan when the switch of the fan is switched on twice.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the time interval of the switch when the switch is turned on twice in the neighborhood, that is, the number of times the switch can be operated per unit time, can be obtained according to the quality characteristics of the switch and the target number of times the switch is used. It is easy to understand that the time interval between two adjacent times of opening of the switch and the number of times the switch can be operated in a unit time are reciprocal.
The target number of uses of the switch may refer to the life of the switch, e.g., the number of times the switch can be used.
Optionally, as an embodiment of the present invention, the determining the target interval time of the switch of the fan when the switch of the fan is turned on twice adjacently includes: and acquiring the effective use time T and the target use times N of the switch, and determining the target interval time delta T according to the effective use time and the target use times.
And 102, determining the corresponding relation between the starting time of the switch and the heat dissipation effect of dissipating heat of a target device, wherein the target device is a device for dissipating heat of a fan.
Optionally, as an embodiment of the present invention, the determining a correspondence between the starting time of the switch and a heat dissipation effect of dissipating heat of the target device includes: and when the highest limit temperature value at which the fan can operate is reached, starting a fan switch through an experiment to obtain the corresponding relation.
Theoretically, the maximum limit temperature at which the fan can operate may be a maximum temperature value at which a device product corresponding to the fan normally operates, and in practice, the maximum limit temperature may be a value obtained by reserving a certain difference value according to the maximum temperature value. For example, a 5% or 2 degree tolerance is reserved on the basis of the highest temperature value. The tolerance can be determined according to the conditions of temperature sampling error or rapid temperature rise when the power is too large, and the like, and also can be a value preset in advance for buffering near the highest temperature value, reserving a certain margin and avoiding reaching the highest temperature value.
Specifically, a temperature change curve of a product when the cooling fan is turned on and a temperature change curve of a device product when the cooling fan is turned off can be obtained through experiments.
Alternatively, as an embodiment of the present invention, the heat dissipation effect is a reduction amount of the temperature value around the device after the fan is turned on.
And 103, determining the initial duty ratio for controlling the switch to be switched on according to the corresponding relation.
Optionally, as an embodiment of the present invention, the following condition is satisfied when determining the initial duty ratio: and in the target interval time, the temperature of the device is less than the highest limit temperature value, and in the target interval time, the time for starting the fan is the minimum, wherein the target interval time is the interval time between two adjacent starting times of the switch of the fan.
Optionally, as an embodiment of the present invention, determining the initial duty ratio of the control switch according to the corresponding relationship includes: starting a switch of the simulation fan for T1 time from a first temperature value, and then closing the switch for T2 time to obtain a simulation temperature, wherein T1+ T2 is equal to unit time; if the simulated temperature is higher than the first temperature value, the switch of the fan is simulated again, the switch of the fan is started for T3 time from the first temperature value and then is closed for T4 time, wherein T3 is larger than T1, and T3+ T4 is equal to unit time; if the simulation temperature is lower than the first temperature value, opening a switch of the re-simulation fan for T5 time from the first temperature value, and then closing the switch for T6 time, wherein T5 is less than T1, and T5+ T6 is equal to unit time; if the simulated temperature is equal to the first temperature value, the initial duty cycle is T1/unit time. It should be understood that the analog temperature being equal to the first temperature value may be such that the analog temperature is approximately equal to the first temperature value, or is close enough to allow for a range of differences.
Optionally, as an embodiment of the present invention, the first temperature value may be a maximum limit temperature value at which the device can operate, or the first temperature value may be obtained by subtracting a temperature margin value from the maximum limit temperature value at which the device can operate, so as to buffer around the maximum temperature value, reserve a certain margin, and avoid reaching the maximum temperature value, so as to prevent various situations, such as a large sudden power, a too fast temperature increase exceeding the first temperature value, or avoid an influence caused by a deviation due to an unstable temperature sampling.
If T1 takes one more second to obtain a simulated temperature lower than the first temperature value and one less second to obtain a simulated temperature higher than the first temperature value, T1 may take one more second. A tool such as MATLEB may be used here to reduce the amount of manual computation.
And 104, controlling the on and off of the fan switch according to the target interval time and the duty ratio.
According to the method for controlling the fan controller and the controller thereof, the opening and closing of the fan are controlled by considering the product quality of the fan switch, such as target interval time, and considering the heat dissipation effect of the product, so that a configurable control method suitable for the heat dissipation fan with various working conditions can be formed, and the service life of the switch and the heat dissipation function of the fan can be considered at the same time.
Optionally, as an embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes: determining a target duty ratio according to the initial duty ratio, the initial duty ratio reliability, the ratio of the historical duty ratio to the previous time duty ratio; and controlling the on and off of the fan switch according to the target duty ratio.
Without a test data curve, the initial duty cycle may be conservatively located 95%, and if the initial duty cycle is unsupported by reliable test data, the initial duty cycle reliability CIPercent may be written as 0.
The initial duty ratio reliability may adopt the following setting method: in the environment temperature range, M (for example, M ═ 10) temperatures are averaged for testing, and N (for example, N ═ 5) power values are taken for product operation heating power for the following tests. And when M is 10 and N is 5, the total number of the working conditions is 50.
(1) The test is set to turn on cycle time and turn off (1-cycle) time per unit time interval. Wherein, TimeInterval is unit time, and Cycleitial is the initial duty cycle.
(2) And testing a plurality of (for example, more than 100) unit times in the working condition, and if the temperature in the plurality of unit times is tested to never exceed the maximum temperature, the initial duty cycle meets the requirement of the working condition.
(3) If 15 test working conditions do not exceed the highest temperature in a plurality of unit times, the reliability of the initial duty cycle is as follows: 15/(10 × 5) ═ 30%.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the duty ratio may be adjusted according to an actual working condition to obtain a target duty ratio. For example, the system is turned on for a period of time to reach the duty cycle time and then turned off, and a new target duty cycle can be reset every unit period. Specifically, the duty cycle of this unit time may adopt the following calculation formula:
the method includes the steps of (1) circulating, wherein circulating is initial duty ratio, CIPLCENT is initial duty ratio reliability, and circulating is the time of opening the fan in the last unit time.
In addition, if the temperature approaches the maximum limit temperature value, for example, the temperature is greater than 90% of the maximum limit temperature value, the switch can be turned on immediately and not turned off until the unit period is over even if the temperature drops. If the temperature is still close to the highest limit temperature value when the time for opening the switch according to the duty ratio is over, the fan switch is not closed so as to ensure the heat dissipation effect.
Optionally, as an embodiment of the present invention, the duty ratio reliability is a ratio of a test condition and an actual condition that meet a temperature range in a unit time, and the duty ratio of the last time is a turn-on time of the fan in the last unit time.
Because the test curve has certain deviation, and the temperature rise of the product under different working condition environments and the fan radiating effect have certain errors with the data obtained by the experimental environment, the duty ratio can be further dynamically adjusted to further reduce the errors. The initialized duty ratio and the duty ratio credibility can be used for the normal working condition that the actual running condition is not much different from the experimental condition. If the ambient temperature is the same, the heat dissipation condition of the device in the unit is basically similar to the condition of experimental simulation, and the working condition can be regarded as a normal working condition. The dynamic regulation duty ratio can be mainly used for unexpected working conditions, and if the actual environment temperature is higher than the experiment temperature and is larger than a certain value, the heat dissipation requirement is increased, or the heat dissipation condition of the unit where the device is located is good, the heat dissipation requirement is not large, or the duty ratio calculation under the condition of no test data is performed.
Next, a flow of a method for controlling a fan switch according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated with reference to fig. 2 to 6.
(1) Assuming that the calculated Timeinterval per unit time is 100s, the maximum limit temperature value is not more than 80 degrees, and the tolerance is 90%. The variation curve of the testing temperature of the fan for cooling or heating with time under the specified working condition of the device is shown in fig. 2.
From the test data of fig. 2, Matlab may be used to generate theoretical plot 3 of test temperature versus time after heat removal from 72 degrees (i.e., 80 x 90%) and then shut off within 1000 seconds. The open heat dissipation time is 611 seconds, and the initialization duty cycle is obtained to be 61.1%. Assuming that the test conditions met 10 of the 50 conditions, the duty cycle confidence level was 20%. The time 611 seconds for starting the heat dissipation may be the time for starting the cycle time interval using the above calculation formula, or may be generated using matlab software.
The actual operating condition is not ideal, and if the initial duty cycle is used to control the on or off of the switch, the temperature profile after control is shown in fig. 4, and the temperature can reach 82.85 degrees, and the maximum temperature value is exceeded.
Further, the duty cycle may be adjusted, in this example using the previous history cycle as Cyclehis, and the duty cycle for the next unit time is obtained by the following formula:
Cyclenow=Cycleinital*CIPercent+Cyclehis*(1-CIPercent)。
the algorithm implements the 1 st actual turn-on duty cycle, which is 87.5%:
Cycle1=61.1%*20%+87.5%*(1–20%)=82.2%
the algorithm implements the 2 nd actual on duty cycle: cyclehis ═ 86%.
Cycle2=61.1%*20%+86%*(1–20%)=81%
The algorithm implements the 3 rd actual on duty cycle, 85.8%.
Cycle3=61.1%*20%+85.8%*(1–20%)=80.9%
The algorithm implements the 3 rd actual on duty cycle, Cyclehis 85.4%:
Cycle4=61.1%*20%+85.4%*(1–20%)=80.5%
continuing this calculation, the values of CycleN calculated basically later all stabilized at 80.5%, which are not written one by one here.
The above actual turn-on duty cycle is: the unit time opening reaches the time T1 when the algorithm is turned off, the temperature after the closing is greater than or equal to 72 degrees (assuming that the temperature tolerance is 90%, 80 × 90% — 72%), the algorithm is forced to be turned on again to the time T2 when the unit time is over, and the actual on duty ratio is (T1+ T2)/time interval.
The actual opening duty ratio is that the current duty ratio is used, the heat dissipation is forced to be opened due to overhigh temperature, the duty ratio of the algorithm is adjusted according to the actual opening duty ratio, and the optimal duty ratio value is slowly reached, namely the value is close to the minimum opening time and is not overhigh. By means of the algorithm, the temperature can be controlled within 72 degrees, and slowly approaches the duty ratio stable value.
FIG. 5 is a graph of temperature versus time using only the initial duty cycle and with duty cycle adjustment after the first few units of time, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen from the comparison graph of the duty ratio fixing and the duty ratio adjusting and optimizing in FIG. 5, when the duty ratio fixing does not achieve the expected heat dissipation effect, the duty ratio can be adjusted in real time, so that the heat dissipation effect is better guaranteed.
FIG. 6 is a graph illustrating a comparison of temperature versus time for different conditions, according to one embodiment of the present invention. According to the working condition, the fixed temperature start and stop are simulated and compared, wherein the fixed temperature start and stop comprises the conditions that the heat radiation is started at 72 degrees and is closed at 55 degrees, and the heat radiation is closed at 72 degrees, and the conditions that the heat radiation is started at 72 degrees and is closed at 40 degrees. The comparative data are as follows:
Figure GDA0002578800790000081
the fixed temperature starts and stops control mode, can have different performances under different operating modes, consults fixed temperature in the table and stops the heat dissipation data.
Under the condition that the service life of the switch reaches the requirement (the switch is switched once every 1000s to ensure the service life of the switch), the power consumption of the fan (namely, the duty ratio is overlarge and the fan time is overlong) is relatively increased. Referring to "72 degrees on and 40 degrees off", 0.58 times, but the fan on time is increased by 17.1%, and the electricity waste is increased.
In the case of a short fan time, the number of switching operations increases, resulting in a shortened historical life. The reference of '72-degree opening and 55-degree stopping' is carried out for 3.75 times, so that the service life is greatly shortened, and the product is ensured differently.
The schematic diagram and the chart data show that different switch control modes under different working conditions have different switch service lives and different changes of the reached temperature along with time. Different switch control modes can be selected according to requirements.
The fan control algorithm can be used under various working conditions of industrial equipment, wherein the fan control algorithm is mainly used in a design environment with limited switch service life and certain requirements on fan service life and power consumption, and aims to enable the service life of a product to be measurable, so that the instability of the design and production after sale is reduced.
The algorithm of the cooling fan described above, any modification based on the method, falls within the scope of protection of the method.
In one embodiment of the invention, the switch control is mainly carried out based on the characteristics of the heat dissipation target device, and the fan switch is controlled by temperature sampling data and timing in consideration of the service life and the times of the switch. In other words, the specific embodiment of the invention comprehensively considers the actual heat dissipation requirements and controls the quality of the product accessories to form a configurable control algorithm of the heat dissipation fan, which is suitable for various working conditions. A control method of the cooling fan is generated by depending on actual use experience and software knowledge, so that not only can the product quality be met, but also the cooling function can be basically exerted.
