Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of electronics, and particularly relates to a heat dissipation system and method and electronic equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of the Internet and the continuous rise of cloud computing technology, the deployment of servers is increasing. Compared with ordinary home computers, servers have more high-power and high-heat chips and electronic components, so more heat is generated during operation. How to quickly dissipate this heat is the key to stable operation of the system. If the heat dissipation effect is poor, the components will age and be damaged faster, and the CPU and other chips may also be reduced in frequency due to high temperature, reducing the efficiency of the system, and more seriously, may directly cause the server to crash, thereby affecting the progress of business operation on the server.

[0003] At present, air cooling is still the most mainstream heat dissipation method. Through the heat dissipation fan inside the server case, the air flow speed on the surface of the heat dissipation fin is accelerated to improve the heat exchange speed of the heat dissipation fin and the air, so as to achieve the purpose of cooling the main electronic components.

[0004] Generally, servers are operated continuously for 24 hours a week, but the load is constantly changing during operation, which leads to a change in heat generation. If the fan is always maintained at high speed, a large amount of power resources will be wasted, so a high-efficiency and stable heat dissipation system is needed to adjust the fan speed according to the change of temperature, so as to reduce the power consumption of the server while ensuring the heat dissipation effect.

[0005] The existing solution is that the temperature sensors on the mainboard obtain temperature data at different positions of the mainboard, and transmit the data to the baseboard management controller (BMC) through the I2C bus. The BMC adjusts the fan speed through the I2C bus.

[0006] The temperature sensors 1, 2 and 3 obtain the temperature of the mainboard, and then transmit the mainboard temperature information to the BMC chip. The BMC chip adjusts the fan speed through the I2C bus according to the temperature information returned by the temperature sensor, so that the temperature of the server is maintained in the normal range.

[0007] However, the commonly used temperature sensor has the disadvantages of low accuracy and linearity, slow response, poor long-term stability, high power consumption, etc.

[0008] At the same time, the commonly used server heat dissipation system needs the BMC chip to manage and transmit the temperature signal and the fan speed signal through the I2C bus, and the circuit is relatively complex and depends on the BMC chip. Once the BMC chip fails, the heat dissipation system may run abnormally.

[0009] That is, the speed of the fan of the heat dissipation system in the conventional design needs to rely on the BMC to manage and transmit information, and when the BMC fails, the fan will stop or rotate at full speed, which will cause the temperature of the server components to rise and the server to shut down, affecting the business; if it rotates at full speed, it will increase power consumption, waste power resources, and produce a lot of noise pollution.

[0067] The technical scheme disclosed by the embodiment of the application can realize accurate speed regulation of a server fan and meanwhile realize an efficient and stable heat dissipation mode.

[0068] Embodiment two

[0069] The application provides a heat dissipation method, as shown in the method, comprising: Figure 3

[0070] Step S0, placing a quartz crystal at a position of a temperature detection part of the heat generating module, and applying a voltage excitation to the quartz crystal through the frequency-voltage conversion module.

[0071] Specifically, due to the piezoelectric effect of the quartz crystal, when a certain voltage is applied to the quartz crystal, the quartz crystal outputs a stable frequency oscillation, and the oscillation frequency of the quartz crystal changes with temperature. Meanwhile, a special crystal cutting method is adopted to strengthen the frequency change, and the frequency change is controlled to be linear or close to linear, so that a high-reliability and high-sensitivity temperature sensor can be made of the quartz crystal. According to different frequencies and cutting methods, the temperature sensitivity of the quartz crystal can be changed in the range of 20 Hz / ℃ to 2850 Hz / ℃, and the temperature resolution can reach 0.0001℃ by frequency measurement.

[0072] The main component of the quartz crystal is silicon dioxide, which has high hardness, good long-term stability, and high electromechanical coupling coefficient.

[0073] It can be understood that the quartz crystal is arranged at a position of the server mainboard where the temperature needs to be monitored, the frequency-voltage conversion module applies a certain voltage excitation to the quartz crystal, and the quartz crystal starts to vibrate.

[0074] Step S1, acquiring temperature information of the heat generating module part.

[0075] Specifically, when the quartz crystal senses the change of the temperature of the heat generating module part, the vibration frequency of the quartz crystal also changes in real time.

[0076] Step S2, converting the temperature information of the heat generating module part into a vibration frequency signal through the quartz crystal according to the temperature information of the heat generating module part.

[0077] Step S2 further comprises:

[0078] Step S21, converting the temperature information of the heat generating module part into a vibration frequency signal through the quartz crystal according to the temperature information of the heat generating module part by the formula f=f0(1+Tf (1) (t-t0)+Tf (2) (t-t0) 2 +Tf (3) (t-t0) 3 ​) converting the temperature information of the heat module component into a vibration frequency signal;

[0079] wherein f is the current frequency of the quartz crystal, f0 is the initial frequency of the quartz crystal, Tf (1) , Tf (2) , Tf (3) are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd order temperature frequency coefficients of the quartz crystal respectively, t is the current temperature of the heat module component, t0 is the initial temperature of the heat module component.

[0080] Specifically, the temperature-frequency characteristic curve f(t) of the quartz crystal is a quadratic or cubic parabola or a straight line, and within -200℃ to +200℃, the temperature frequency characteristic of the quartz crystal can be approximately expressed by a cubic polynomial: f = f0(1 + Tf (1) (t-t0) + Tf (2) (t-t0) 2 + Tf (3) (t-t0) 3 )

[0081] Here, in order to make the temperature-frequency characteristic of the quartz crystal have good linearity, the value of Tf (1) is preferably much larger than the values of Tf (2) , Tf (3) , and the best case is that Tf (2) , Tf (3) = 0.

[0082] Step S22, setting the cut type of the quartz crystal as LC cut type;

[0083] correcting the detected temperature of the heat module component to be detected by the segmented linear correction mode of the frequency-voltage conversion module.

[0084] Specifically, according to experimental experience data, the cut type of the quartz crystal has a great influence on the temperature coefficients of each order and the temperature-frequency linearity, and when the quartz crystal adopts LC cut type, the temperature-frequency linearity of the quartz crystal is the best.

[0085] Generally, a very high temperature-frequency linearity can be obtained by controlling the cut type of the quartz crystal, and at the same time, the frequency-voltage conversion module can output a direct current voltage signal in proportion to the input frequency. Here, the segmented linear correction mode can also be used inside the frequency-voltage conversion module to further reduce the temperature measurement error caused by nonlinearity and improve the control accuracy.

[0086] Step S3, converting the vibration frequency signal into a target direct current voltage signal.

[0087] Specifically, when the quartz crystal perceives the change of the temperature of the heating module component, the vibration frequency will also change in real time, and the vibration frequency is transmitted to the frequency-voltage conversion module in real time. The frequency-voltage conversion module converts the input vibration frequency signal into a direct current voltage signal in real time and outputs it to the fan module. The fan module adjusts the rotating speed of the fan according to the change of the input target direct current voltage.

[0088] Step S3 further comprises:

[0089] Step S31, the sine vibration frequency signal is converted into a square wave signal through a comparator, the square wave signal is converted into a direct current voltage signal through an F / V converter, the direct current voltage signal is converted into an inverted voltage signal through an inverter circuit, and the inverted voltage signal is converted into a target direct current voltage signal through an inverted adder.

[0090] Specifically, the frequency-voltage conversion module comprises a comparator, an F / V converter, an inverter, and an inverted adder. The quartz crystal frequency is a sine signal, which is converted into a square wave signal through a comparator, and then converted into a direct current voltage signal through an F / V converter circuit. The input direct current voltage signal is converted into an inverted voltage signal output through an inverter circuit. The inverted voltage signal output and a reference voltage Vref are subjected to an addition operation. A target direct current voltage signal meeting the condition is output through the function of the addition operation circuit and the adjustment of the size of the reference voltage Vref, so as to control the rotating speed of the fan through the target direct current voltage signal.

[0091] The comparator converts the input frequency sine signal into a square wave signal, which can be realized by using a zero-crossing comparator. The input voltage is vi, and the reference voltage is 0. When the input voltage crosses zero each time, the output voltage will jump, thereby converting the sine signal into a square wave signal.

[0092] Step S32, the inverted voltage signal and a reference voltage signal are subjected to an addition operation through the inverted adder, and the size of the reference voltage is adjusted through an addition operation circuit, so as to output a target direct current voltage signal for controlling the rotating speed of the fan.

[0093] Step S33, the vibration frequency signal is converted into a target direct current voltage signal through an integrated chip and a frequency-voltage conversion circuit.

[0094] Specifically, the LM331 is an integrated chip with high cost performance. The function of frequency-voltage conversion can be realized through simple peripheral circuit configuration, and the conversion precision is high. Figure 4For the circuit diagram of the frequency-voltage conversion circuit, when pin 7 inputs a positive voltage Vi, the input comparator outputs a high level, the R-S flip-flop is set, the Q terminal outputs a high level, the output drive tube T1 is turned on, and pin 3 outputs a low level. At the same time, the mirror current source is connected to pin 1 to charge the capacitor CL. At this time, since the reset transistor is cut off, the power supply VCC charges the capacitor Ct through the resistor Rt. When the voltage across the capacitor Ct is higher than 2 / 3VCC and the voltage of pin 6 is greater than that of pin 7, the timing comparator outputs a high level, the R-S flip-flop is reset, the Q terminal outputs a low level, the output drive tube is cut off, and pin 3 outputs a high level under the action of the pull-up power supply. At the same time, the reset transistor is turned on, and the capacitor Ct is discharged. At this time, the current switch is turned to the other side, and the capacitor CL is discharged through the resistor RL. When the voltage across the capacitor CL is less than or equal to the input voltage Vi, the input comparator outputs a high level again, the R-S flip-flop is set, and the cycle is repeated to form self-excitation. When the voltage of pin 5 is higher than 2 / 3VCC, if the voltage of pin 7 is greater than that of pin 6, the flip-flop will not be reset, and the voltage of pin 6 will continue to rise until the voltage of pin 7 is lower than that of pin 6. This condition is usually used for start-up conditions or input signal overload. When the input signal is overloaded, the frequency output is 0. When the input signal returns to normal, the output frequency will work normally.

[0095] Wherein, the input comparator in-phase input end is Vi. i is provided by the mirror current source, and the size is determined by the reference voltage 1.90V of the energy gap reference circuit and the external resistor RS.

[0096] The relationship between the output voltage Vi and the input signal frequency F0 can be approximately expressed as:

[0097] Vi=(2.1RLRtCtF0) / (Rs)

[0098] When the sizes of RL, Rt, Ct and RS are certain, the input signal frequency F0 is in a proportional relationship with the output voltage Vi, and the V / F conversion is realized.

[0099] Step S4, adjusting the rotating speed of the fan according to the target direct current voltage signal, and dissipating heat of the components of the heat generating module.

[0100] Specifically, when the mainboard temperature rises, the quartz crystal vibration frequency rises, the direct current voltage signal input to the fan module also rises, the fan rotating speed rises, and the heat dissipation is accelerated; when the mainboard temperature decreases, the fan rotating speed decreases, and the whole heat dissipation system dynamically adjusts in real time to stabilize the temperature in a reasonable range.

[0101] It can be understood that the application solves the problems of low measurement accuracy and low linearity and poor stability of ordinary temperature sensors in the server heat dissipation system. The quartz crystal has the following advantages compared with ordinary temperature sensors: 1. high resolution, temperature accuracy can reach 0.0001 DEG C; 2. high accuracy, within the range of-50 DEG C to 120 DEG C, the measurement error is ± 0.05 DEG C; 3. good stability, the annual change range is within 0.02 DEG C, and it can work reliably and stably for a long time; 4. small thermal hysteresis error, which can quickly respond to the change of temperature in real time and adjust the heat dissipation strategy in time; 5. through a special crystal cut type, very high temperature frequency linearity can be achieved; 6. because the crystal output is frequency, the subsequent measurement and processing circuit design is convenient, simple, and can not be affected by the drift and dialing of the amplifier, and the temperature measurement signal can be conveniently transmitted over a long distance.

[0102] The application converts the crystal output frequency into a fan speed voltage signal through the frequency-voltage conversion module, and then directly adjusts the speed of the fan, which does not depend on BMC, simplifies the heat dissipation process, improves the reliability and stability of the system, and reduces the research and development cost.

[0103] The heat dissipation method provided by the embodiments of the application can also be improved and optimized without departing from the technical scheme of the application, and these improvements and optimizations should also be considered as the protection scope of the application.

[0104] At the same time, due to the stable physical and chemical properties of the quartz crystal, the heat dissipation method can also be applied to other heat dissipation scenes such as immersion liquid cooling.

[0105] The technical scheme disclosed by the embodiments of the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0106] The technical scheme disclosed by the embodiments of the application does not depend on BMC for signal processing and transmission, and when BMC fails, the heat dissipation system can still operate independently and stably, avoids the abnormality and even downtime of the server caused by overheating due to the fan stop, and also avoids the increase of power consumption and noise pollution caused by the full-speed operation of the fan. Compared with the traditional design scheme, the circuit is simplified, the cost is reduced, and the stability and reliability of the heat dissipation system are improved.
