A cooling fan drive module that makes it easier to start the fan, reduces energy consumption, and bears stress on the fan bearings, thereby extending its life. [Previous technology] As the structure of various computer equipment and instruments becomes more and more sophisticated, the quality requirements for power supply are relatively increased. For example, there are more and more instruments and equipment that do not allow the power supply to be interrupted without warning. Under the requirements of these power supply standards, a uninterruptible power supply system (UPS) was born. When the utility power is interrupted, it can be switched immediately and replaced by a continuous power supply system to continuously supply power. However, as mentioned earlier, when the equipment is more precise, the requirements for power supply reliability are relatively higher. Therefore, when the stand-alone operation may not ensure the stability of the uninterruptible power supply system, it is necessary to consider the parallel connection of multiple machines. Operation. And the number of parallel groups depends on the system requirements. Moreover, the power supply system and power supply are mainly conversion circuits between power supplies to provide different voltage or current power requirements for the circuits in various equipment. During operation, the energy provided is greater than that of general circuits, which results from efficiency issues. In order to make the power conversion circuit work normally, the fan must be properly cooled, and the fan is often used as a heat sink for this occasion. There are many known technologies 556472 about the driving and control of the fan. The method includes using a PWM pulse width modulation circuit to drive and control the fan speed, and a fan speed signal is detected by the fan drive circuit for judging whether the fan is stuck or as a basis for adjusting the speed. The purpose is nothing more than to make the cooling fan run more stable and smooth. For power systems and power supplies, temperature is an important environmental factor that determines whether they can operate normally, and the requirements for the driving quality of cooling fans are naturally higher. However, the cooling fans of the existing power system and power supply are controlled by independent driving circuits, which means that when the cooling fan must be expanded due to the increased cooling demand due to the increased capacity of the power system or power supply design, that is, The configuration of the driving circuit must be re-configured. For suppliers of power supply systems and power supplies, it is not possible to respond to different needs and to configure the driving circuit of the cooling fan motor, let alone to increase the number of fans and driving circuits. , Further consider the stability and efficiency of its operation. Therefore, from the foregoing, it can be known that the cooling fan drive circuit of the existing power supply system and power supply is configured with a single machine, and it cannot be flexibly designed to respond to different needs. At the same time, it is considered that the design is easy, the management is easy, and the quality is stable. There are many problems for the industry, so it needs further review and a feasible solution is sought. [Summary of the Invention] Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method that can facilitate the expansion of the number of driving fans as the heat dissipation requirement of the system increases, at the same time, it can make the fans easier to start, and can reduce energy consumption / stress on the fan bearings, thereby extending its Cooling fan drive module with long service life. 556472 The main technical method adopted to achieve the stated purpose is to make the drive module a single unit, which includes at least a drive circuit, which is controlled by an external pulse width modulation circuit.

Therefore, for the connected DC fan, a DC voltage has been added to the initial state at startup, so that the fan can reduce its current when it starts, and in general Stable operation under the condition, at the same time, it can reduce the stress on the fan bearing and prolong the service life. The driving circuit further includes a rotation speed detecting circuit, and its input terminal is connected to the output terminal of the driving circuit for judging whether the fan is stuck. The node between the drive circuit and the speed detection circuit is pulled out to set a common speed detection circuit end point. When multiple drive modules are used in parallel, this point of each drive module can be connected together. The modules can share a set of the aforementioned speed detection circuits to simplify the circuits for external system cooperation. 556472 The aforementioned unit is a circuit board. The circuit board is provided with a plurality of terminals on at least one edge, and each of the plurality of terminals is respectively connected to an input, output terminal or connection node of each circuit on the circuit board for plugging into an external control. Corresponding connector set in the system; or as a circuit board module, directly plugged or soldered to other circuit boards. With the aforementioned modular design, the drive module and cooling fan can be increased or decreased according to actual needs. Quantity. [Embodiment] As shown in the first figure, it is a schematic diagram of the appearance of a preferred embodiment of the cooling fan driving module of the present invention. The fan driving circuit and other related circuits and components are constructed on a circuit board (100). The circuit board (1 0 0) is provided with a plurality of terminals (1 0 1) to (1 0 8) on at least one edge to form a module unit; wherein each terminal (1 0 1) to ( 1 0 8) and respectively connected to the input, output terminal or connection node of each circuit on the circuit board (100), so as to input a control signal or output a detection signal through the terminals (1 01) to (1 0 8), As for the terminals (101) to (108), the connection interfaces for corresponding plugging into an external control system, or as a circuit board (PCB) module, directly plugging or soldering to other circuit boards to Connect the external control system, cooling fan, and other status detection circuits through the connection interface, so that the external control system drives the cooling fan through the drive module, and the drive module itself and other status detection circuits detect whether the fan is Normal operation, power Temperature and the severity of the overload condition or the power supply system, according to an external control system for adjusting the rotational speed of the cooling fan, and effectively improve the heat dissipation efficiency. 556472 Please refer to the second figure for the circuit structure of the aforementioned drive module on the circuit board (1 〇ο). It includes at least one drive circuit (1 〇), which is controlled by external control. The pulse width modulation circuit (not shown) in the system is controlled, and its output end is connected to at least one group of fans, and the pulse width modulation circuit adjusts the width of the output pulse signal to change the speed of the fan; the drive circuit ( 10) is mainly composed of a switching transistor (1 1) and at least one driving transistor (1 2) (1 3). In this embodiment, the driving transistor (1 2) (1 3) is two ; Among them, the base of the switching transistor (1 1) is connected to a resistor R1, and a fan speed control terminal (FANSPD) is formed at the other end of the resistor R1, and is connected to the terminal (106) for inputting a pulse with a variable pulse width. Wave signal, the emitter is connected to the bases of the two driving transistors (1 2) (1 3), and the two driving transistors (1 2) (1 3) are respectively connected in parallel with the resistors R6 and R12 between the collector and the emitter. And an audit diode ZD1, ZD2, and a fan connection terminal FAN1, FAN2 are formed on the collector, respectively, which Do not connect the terminals (101) (102) on the circuit board (100) for connecting the driven fan; because the collector and emitter of the aforementioned driving transistor (12) (13) are arranged between There is an audit diode ZD1, ZD2, so for the connected DC fan, a DC voltage of 9 ~ 12 volts is given by the audit diodes ZD1, ZD2 before starting, thereby reducing the fan startup. Its current amount. The other functions and effects of this design will be detailed later. In addition, the driving circuit (1 0) is further connected to a rotation speed detection circuit (1 4). The input terminals of the rotation speed detection circuit (1 4) are respectively passed through a reverse diode D1, D2 and the driving circuit (1 0). The two driving transistor 556472 body (1 2) (1 3) collectors are connected to determine whether the fan is stuck. The rotation speed detection circuit (1 4) is composed of a transistor (1 5) and a number of resistors R7 to R10. Among them, a collector of the transistor (1 5) pulls out a fan jam detection terminal FANCLK, and is connected to The terminals (107) on the circuit board (100) are connected for the external control system to detect whether the fan has a LOCK condition. In addition to the aforementioned lines, a node between the drive circuit (1 0) and the speed detection circuit (1 4) is pulled out to connect a drive module in parallel to set the common speed detection circuit end point PARALLEL, which is connected to the circuit board ( 1 0 0), when multiple drive modules are used in parallel, this point of each drive module can be connected together, and the parallel modules can share the same speed detection circuit described above In order to simplify the circuit of the external system. The ground GND1 and GND2 of the driving circuit (10) are connected to terminals (103) (104) on the circuit board (100), respectively, as common ground points. According to the above description, the specific circuit structure of the driving module of the present invention can be seen, and its further working principle is as follows: Please refer to the third figure, which is a partial circuit of the foregoing driving circuit (1 0), and mainly discloses among them A driving transistor (1 2), a set of the driving transistor (1 2), a resistor R6 connected between the emitters, an audit diode ZD1 and a fan F1 connected to the collector thereof. As shown in the waveform diagram on the left, it is assumed that the pulse wave signal is input to the base of the driving transistor (1 2). Because the driving transistor (1 2) has an audit diode (ZD1) between its collector and emitter, When the driving transistor (1 2) is turned off, a DC voltage will be added to the collector, so that the voltage waveform across the fan 10 556472 is shown on the right. Please also refer to the fourth figure, which reveals the state when the driving transistor (1 2) in the third figure is not conducting. The DC voltage source VCC is connected to the ground via the resistor R6 and the ZD1 diode. There is a DC voltage between F1 and the ground terminal GND1. When the driving transistor (1 2) is turned on (as shown in the fifth figure), the DC voltage source VCC is driven to ground through the driving transistor (1 2), so the DC voltage is sent to the fan F1 to start running. A DC voltage already exists, so it can effectively reduce the amount of current when the fan F1 is started, so the stress on the fan bearing during start-up is relatively small, so it can extend its working life, and its operation will be more under normal working conditions. For smooth. Also, each driving transistor (1 2) in the driving circuit (10) is connected and driven with a fan, but multiple sets of fans can be connected and driven at the same time. As shown in the sixth figure, multiple fan drives are disclosed. The module drives multiple sets of cooling fans F1 ~ Fn at the same time. In this implementation mode, the terminal PARALLEL of the setting common speed detection circuit of multiple fan drive modules is connected together, so that the external control system can simply use the fan of one of the modules to block the detection terminal FANCLK, and then In order to detect whether there is a fan lock (LOCK) condition in multiple groups of fans. Since the aforementioned drive module is controlled by an external pulse width modulation circuit, both the pulse width modulation circuit is used to control the speed, and it can further consider other parameters as a reference for adjusting the speed of the fan, as shown in the second figure The temperature detection circuit (20) is mainly used to detect the temperature of the power supply system or power supply. When the temperature of the power supply system or power supply is high, the heat dissipation requirement is increased. 556472 High 'pulse width modulation circuit can be driven through The module increases the fan speed to further enhance the cooling effect. When the system temperature is low, it indicates that the heat dissipation requirement is reduced, and the pulse width modulation circuit reduces the fan speed through the drive module, so that the cooling fan works more efficiently. Another reference factor that controls the speed of the fan is the load of the load. When the power system or power supply is overloaded, the heat dissipation needs should be relatively high. Therefore, the pulse width modulation circuit can increase the fan speed through the drive module. To enhance heat dissipation. When the system is lightly loaded, the heat dissipation requirement is relatively low, so the pulse width modulation circuit reduces the fan speed through the drive module to reduce the power consumption. Therefore, it can be known from the above that the present invention is mainly to modularize the cooling fan drive circuit used in the power supply system or power supply. In the modularized design, the heat dissipation requirements of the power supply system or power supply can be easily expanded. For the industry, it can quickly and easily complete the configuration of the cooling system according to different system specifications. It can be seen that the present invention makes the traditional independent cooling fan drive circuit have a significant improvement in efficiency compared with the traditional method. It has both industrial availability, novelty and progress, and meets the requirements of invention patents, and has filed an application according to law.
