Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily specify a broken-down fan and quickly maintain and restore it by connecting multiple light emitting diodes connected in series to each other in parallel with relays for detecting the abnormality of the rotating speed belonging to multiple fans. CONSTITUTION:Relay contacts of relays 1 for detecting the abnormality of the rotating speed belonging to multiple fans 4 respectively are connected in series, are turned on when the rotating speed of the fans 4 is normal, and are turned off when the rotating speed becomes a reference or less. Light emitting diodes 2 for indicating a broken-down fan are connected in series to each other and are connected in parallel with the relays 1. Thereby, when any fan 4 (or multiple fans 4) fails and the relay 1 is turned off, the light emitting diode 2 connected to the relay 1 is lighted, thus the broken-down fan 4 can be specified readily. Accordingly, the broken-down fan 4 can be quickly maintained and restored.

A detection circuit as shown in the figure is prepared, and when a failure of the fan is detected, measures such as stopping the power supply to the printed circuit board 6 are taken. In other words, prepare a relay 1 that makes sure that the rotation speed is normal for each fan 4 and breaks it when the rotation speed falls below the standard, and connect this in series in units of fan boxes 5, or in units of casings. When wires are connected in series, if one of the fans fails and the rotation speed decreases, the
The detection circuit 9 detects that the closed circuit becomes open for each group of fans that constitute the closed circuit, and takes measures such as stopping the power supply to the printed circuit board 6. With this detection method, it was necessary to take measures such as turning on electricity to which fan box 5 to identify the failed fan and then replace it, which required a lot of time for maintenance.
