Description

The computer power management system
[technical field]
The utility model is about a kind of computer power management system, particularly about the management of the battery life of notebook computer.
[background technology]
The management of battery life is crucial to notebook computer, and large-sized battery is subjected to the restriction of its volume and weight and can not be widely used in notebook computer.Therefore, present developing direction is to make the battery miniaturization, and improves by effective management the working time and the serviceable life of miniaturization battery.
Distinct issues are exactly that computermaker can not directly be managed the maximum computer spare part of power consumption in the notebook computer, as hard disk drive.Nickel-cadmium chargeable battery commonly used is in discharge process, and at first voltage is constant relatively but progressively reduce, and cell voltage can descend fast when reaching a certain discharge critical point.In the computer use, when voltage reaches this discharge critical point, can cause improper the closing of computer burst because of brownout, thereby cause losing of data.Therefore, just must avoid this discharge critical point on the battery discharge curve for making the computer operate as normal, for realizing this purpose, computermaker uses a monitoring voltage control device, make supply voltage when being higher than the electrical voltage point VL of this discharge critical point, carry out a shutoff operation by force, carry out the preservation of computer data simultaneously.
Obviously, if there are enough electric charges to keep the running of computer in the battery, so thisly have duplicity or interim caused the closing of incident is unnecessary, and verified hard disk drive also can cause this situation.
The electric energy maximum that hard disk drive is consumed when starting rotation, usually, when motor begins to rotate, need maximum electric current for overcoming the counter electromotive force motor, and current of electric only is subject to the voltage difference of coil impedance, saturated coefficient of self-induction and control circuit and distribution, this method allows electric rotating machine to reach the rotational speed (particularly in contact start stop mode hard disk drive) of hope in the shortest time, but this can cause current of electric to cause cell voltage to drop to below the voltage monitor rated point too greatly, thereby triggers the shutoff operation by force of computer.
For reducing power consumption, usually when not working, disk is placed on " dormancy " pattern, when needs restart disc driver, produce the surge voltage peak value by changing inside battery resistance, and cause supply voltage to descend rapidly, therefore, like this, cause unnecessary closing easilier even cell voltage can not activate " shut " mode" below dropping to the discharge critical point yet.
Please refer to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, in disk rotation start-up course, may start computer internal control device (minimizing of battery charge and decrease of temperature all can make internal battery impedance increase) because battery charge is less or operating temperature is low, in addition, the voltage available of battery also can descend with decrease of temperature, the function relation figure of the cell voltage territory velocity of discharge under the different temperatures as shown in Figure 3, this can further reduce voltage available when electric motor starting.
In order to address the above problem, method be to use have low internal driving than macrocell, but the size of this class battery and weight limits its application.Another method is to start with the rotation of avoiding disk by make disc driver be in "on" position always, but this can not reach the prolongation battery purpose in serviceable life again.
[summary of the invention]
The purpose of this utility model provides a kind of computer power management system.
The purpose of this utility model realizes by following technical proposal: the utility model computer power management system, comprise a hard disk drive and a cell voltage watch-dog, and this watch-dog is lower than a predetermined voltage V at supply voltage LThe time close computer, when hard disk drive starts, can not be lower than threshold voltage V thereby limit the voltage that current of electric makes battery offer computer by a control circuit 1, and the voltage that makes battery offer computer by the control current of electric can not be higher than threshold voltage V 2, V wherein 2>V 1>V LThereby make the utility model disk drive motor in start-up course, keep higher, a rational steady current.
The advantage of the utility model computer power management system is: the utility model computer power management system can avoid the situation of abnormal shutdown to take place, and utilizes the electric current restriction of circuit for controlling motor can make disk start faster when battery charges fully and can not cause damage to motor coil.

[embodiment]
Fig. 4 is a principles illustrated of the present utility model, shown in Fig. 4 A, when starting, under the situation of not controlling the electric current in the disk drive motor, electric current in the motor can constantly rise to a very high lowest high-current value 27, electric current reduces gradually then, and after motor reached operating rate, current of electric just kept a reduced-current value 28.Shown corresponding cell voltage curve among Fig. 4 B, the voltage of supplying in the battery when electric current reaches mxm. 27 in the motor drops to minimum 26, and this value 26 may be lower than the magnitude of voltage V that computer is closed L25.The utility model adopts the mode of the electric current of restricted passage motor, shown in Fig. 4 A, and when reaching current value 21, the V of its corresponding voltage value 22 1Be higher than V L, the electric current in the motor can reduce to rise to up to the magnitude of voltage that battery provides the V of magnitude of voltage 24 gradually then 2, at this moment, the V that the magnitude of voltage that provides up to battery drops to magnitude of voltage 23 is provided the electric current in the motor once more 1, reach operating rate until motor so repeatedly, by the mode of this continuous adjusting current of electric, guarantee that cell voltage can not be lower than V LSituation under reach the operating rate of motor with the acceleration of maximum.
The utility model circuit diagram as shown in Figure 5, one battery 10 gives a computer 11 power supplies, one is used to drive the electric rotating machine 12 of hard disk, one device U1, it comprises a ML2377 equipment, this device U1 comprises a multiplexer U1A successively, one analog to digital converter U1B, an one digital to analog converter U1C and an operational amplifier U1D, the output voltage of battery 10 offers multiplexer U1A as an input end, the output of multiplexer U1A is as the input of analog to digital converter U1B, and battery 10 provides voltage for multiplexer U1A by a voltage divider, and the output signal of analog to digital converter U1B offers microprocessor U3 by an input/output bus.The output signal of microprocessor U3 offers digital to analog converter U1C by input/output bus, the output signal of digital to analog converter U1C offers operational amplifier U1D as input signal, the output signal of operational amplifier U1D offers electric machine controller U2, and electric machine controller U2 offers electric rotating machine 12 by a three-phase coil.The output of electric machine controller U2 feeds back to multiplexer U1A, and electric machine controller U2 provides a communication signal to microprocessor U3, and microprocessor U3 provides a control signal to electric machine controller U2 simultaneously.
Equipment U1 reads the voltage that offers disk, simultaneously analog voltage signal is offered electric rotating machine 12, whether the signal that microprocessor U3 reads analog to digital converter U1B is lower than V1 with the voltage that the mensuration battery provides, and test result write digital to analog converter U1C, then, digital to analog converter U1C provides data whether to reduce electric current in the electric rotating machine to improve voltage to amplifier U1D with decision.
This electric rotating machine controller 12 comprises the phase-locked loop of the speed of a control electric rotating machine 12, and the sequencer of a control semiconductor switch, and this semiconductor switch is to be used for the coil of electric rotating machine 12 is carried out rectification.
Begin to start at 12 o'clock at electric rotating machine, controller U2 by sequencer by predefined procedure actuating coil successively so that electric rotating machine 12 begin the rotation, if detecting sense of rotation makes mistakes, this sequencer enters a separate procedure so that motor 12 rotates to normal direction, in case electric rotating machine 12 rotates to enough fast speed whether electric rotating machine controller U2 is detected when having counter electromotive force to pass through, the pulse that controller U2 then produces a predetermined sequence comes rectification electric rotating machine 12.
This electric machine controller U2 also comprises a circuit, current order voltage that this circuit sum total transmits from operational amplifier U1D and the Current Control wrong voltage that transmits from motor control loop.
In start-up course, current of electric increases and the voltage reduction of battery 10, and at this moment, processor U3 is by analog to digital converter U1B monitoring cell voltage, when voltage drops to V 1The time, microprocessor instructs digital to analog converter U1C begins to gradually reduce electric moter voltage, thereby reduces current of electric, and the voltage that provides up to battery 10 goes back up to V 1More than, if cell voltage is equal to or greater than V 1The time, computer 11 just can not restarted.
When electric rotating machine 12 speed increase, owing to making current of electric, the increase of counter electromotive force in the electric rotating machine 12 reduces, the voltage that the while battery provides increases, in short time, finish startup in order to make motor, need make motor keep a higher levels of current, when the voltage that provides when battery reached V2, the electric current in the motor began again to increase, and the control method of this current of electric carries out in whole starting process repeatedly.
