Embodiment
The utility model is by thermistor the internal temperature of TV set-top box equipment to be sampled, by voltage comparator the temperature of sampling is judged again, the level of output judged result correspondence, control the operation of fan electromotor or the start or stop of functional module by output level then, thereby reach temperature control to TV set-top box equipment, realize that not only cost is lower, but and saves energy.
The 1st embodiment
As shown in Figure 1, this temperature-control circuit comprises: external power source (being generally 5V voltage) is added on the thermistor Rt and resistance R 1 of serial connection, and thermistor Rt is connected the positive input terminal of voltage comparator U1 with the common port of resistance R 1, and its voltage is VA; Resistance R 2 is connected in series with potentiometer Rp and constitutes voltage divider, and this voltage divider is connected between external power source and the ground, and the negative input end of the adjustable side of potentiometer Rp connection voltage comparator U1, and its voltage is VB; Externally be connected in series relay K between the output terminal of power supply and voltage comparator U1, its normally opened contact is serially connected among the driving circuit of the motor M that drives the radiator fan motion; And also be connected 2 diode DZ1 and DZ2 between external power source and the ground, and the output terminal of voltage comparator U1 is connected the common port of diode DZ1 and DZ2; In addition, the output terminal of voltage comparator U1 serial connection current-limiting resistance R3.
Wherein, thermistor Rt adopts negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor, sticks on the heat radiator of power device (being generally microprocessor) of TV set-top box device interior the temperature of detection power device.As shown in Figure 2, according to the characteristic of thermistor, its resistance is downward trend with the rising of temperature, and is single-valued function.
When the external power source of 5V was added on thermistor Rt and the resistance R 1, along with the temperature on the heat radiator rises, then the resistance of thermistor Rt descended, and VA is risen; Suppose temperature on the heat radiator rise to threshold temperature X ℃ (such as, threshold temperature X is 70 ℃) time connect fan M, then we can obtain the resistance of thermistor Rt in the time of X ℃ by property list or the experiment of thermistor Rt, the resistance of resistance R 1 is constant, by calculating calculate this moment VA magnitude of voltage.
Simultaneously, the adjustable side of regulator potentiometer RP can change the size of VB.The VB value is a voltage comparator U1 preset threshold voltage, is called VTH.When design, set VTH according to threshold temperature X ℃ VA voltage, voltage VA when making VTH equal threshold temperature X ℃, in case when making temperature surpass X ℃, VA>VTH, then voltage comparator U1 exports high level, the normally opened contact closure of relay K, thus make fan electromotor M entry into service, drive radiator fan and dispel the heat; When heat looses after below X ℃, VA<VTH, the normally opened contact of relay K disconnects, and fan electromotor M is shut down, thereby radiator fan quits work.
Therefore, the temperature-control circuit of present embodiment only can realize having the low advantage of cost of development by thermistor and voltage comparator, and need not take the I/O resource of microprocessor, can also control radiator fan according to temperature altitude, has saved electric energy.

The temperature-control circuit of present embodiment, only whether get final product the judgment device internal temperature greater than threshold temperature by thermistor and voltage comparator, and the start or stop by the microprocessor controlled apparatus inner function module is scalable control internal temperature, thereby has the advantage that circuit structure is simple, cost of development is low.
