[0041] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A structural connection diagram of an embodiment of a fan speed regulating device and a controlled fan provided by the present invention. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a fan speed regulating device 100 is disclosed, comprising: a voltage conversion circuit 110, a speed control circuit 120, a sampling circuit 130 and an input adjustment terminal 140; the voltage conversion circuit 110 is electrically connected to the speed control circuit 120; the speed control circuit 120 is electrically connected to the sampling circuit 130, the input adjustment terminal 140 and the controlled fan 200 respectively;

[0043] The input adjustment terminal 140 is used to receive external input and generate a speed adjustment instruction;

[0044] The speed control circuit 120 is used to respond to the speed adjustment instruction and generate a speed adjustment voltage and a speed adjustment current;

[0045] The sampling circuit 130 is used to collect the speed regulating voltage and the speed regulating current output by the speed control circuit 120 .

[0046] In the above embodiment, the voltage conversion circuit 110 is responsible for safely and efficiently converting the external power supply voltage into two preset stable voltages - a first preset voltage and a second preset voltage. The two preset voltages are used to meet the power requirements of other components in the fan speed control device 100 under different working conditions, ensuring that the fan can operate at optimal performance while avoiding equipment damage or performance degradation caused by voltage fluctuations. As a preferred embodiment, the first preset voltage in the present invention is DC 5V, and the second preset voltage is DC 3.3V.

[0047] The input adjustment terminal 140 is a window for the user to interact with the system, allowing the user to input speed control instructions through knobs, buttons or digital interfaces. After these instructions are received by the input adjustment terminal 140, they are processed internally and converted into signals that can be recognized by the speed control circuit 120, which not only improves the convenience of operation, but also makes the speed control process more intuitive and flexible. As a preferred embodiment, the input adjustment terminal 140 in the present invention is an IO button, which is mainly composed of 5 non-self-locking button switches.

When the switch is pressed, the input signal is pulled low. After the software in the MCU recognizes the pulse and continues for a period of time (the default is to continue 5 20ms pulse actions as a filtering anti-shake measure), the display content of the display screen 160 is controlled according to the defined "up", "down", "left", "right" and "adjust" buttons to realize functions such as moving the cursor and adjusting the duty cycle.

[0048] The speed control circuit 120 is the core control unit of the entire speed regulation device. It is responsible for receiving speed regulation instructions from the input regulation terminal 140, and generating corresponding speed regulation voltage and speed regulation current according to these instructions.

The output current sampling is used to realize automatic protection of the circuit in the case of abnormality of the controlled fan 200 (too large or too small current). In addition, the data of the sampling circuit 130 can also be used for system optimization and fault diagnosis, providing strong support for subsequent maintenance and improvement.

[0050] Compared with the prior art, the fan speed control device 100 provided in this embodiment converts the external input voltage into a first preset voltage and a second preset voltage suitable for the operation of the fan through the voltage conversion circuit 110, can handle different external input voltages, and convert them into voltage levels suitable for the operation of the fan through the voltage conversion circuit 110, which enhances the applicability and compatibility of the device, so that it can be widely used in the fan speed control needs under different voltage environments, can accurately control the power supplied to the fan, avoid overvoltage or undervoltage operation, thereby effectively improving the energy utilization efficiency of the fan, reducing unnecessary power loss, and ensuring the safety of the fan speed control device 100 during operation, avoiding dangerous hidden dangers caused by voltage mismatch. By providing an input adjustment terminal 140, the user or system is allowed to adjust the speed of the fan according to actual needs, and the speed control circuit 120 can respond to these adjustment instructions, generate accurate speed adjustment voltage and current, and realize flexible and accurate control of the fan speed. Through the integrated design, the user only needs to adjust the speed of the fan through the input adjustment terminal 140, without the need for complex operations or adjustments inside the fan.

[0051] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a pin connection diagram of an embodiment of the control chip U3 provided by the present invention. In some embodiments of the present invention, the speed control circuit 120 further includes: a control chip U3 and a chopper buck circuit; the control chip U3 and the chopper buck circuit are electrically connected;

[0052] Among them, the control chip U3 is used to send a control signal according to the speed adjustment instruction;

[0053] The chopper step-down circuit is used to convert the external input voltage into the target speed voltage according to the control signal.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the speed control circuit 120 includes a pin connection circuit of the control chip U3 in addition to the control chip U3. As a preferred embodiment, the control chip U3 in this scheme is the STM32F103 minimum system. Through the JTAG burning software, the control of DC chopping and step-down, output voltage and fan current recovery are realized (the output voltage is sampled by the internal reference and output to the display screen 160 to read the current duty cycle and the current output voltage, which is convenient for adapting the fan voltage and visual speed regulation; current sampling is used to protect the circuit. If the fan current is too large or too small, the speed control circuit 120 will adjust the duty cycle of the control transistor Q1 to 0, so as to intelligently protect the circuit components from being burned), and the control display screen 160 displays and reads the IO button function.

[0055] The chopper step-down circuit controls the switching duty cycle of the transistor Q1 through the speed control circuit 120, converting the input low-voltage DC power of DC8V~DC36V (rated DC24V) into adjustable low-voltage DC power, thereby controlling the input voltage of the DC fan to achieve the speed regulation function.

The third line of the display content is the current fan voltage (FAN VOLTAGE), which displays the current output voltage and is easy to adjust to suit various types of fans. The fourth line of the display content is the current fan current (FAN CURRENT), which displays the current output current and is easy to read the current current information for fault identification, etc.

[0060] In the above embodiment, the acceptable input voltage of the voltage conversion circuit 110 is DC 8-36V, and the voltage conversion chip U1 is an LDO chip, which is called a low dropout linear regulator chip (Low Dropout Regulator), which is an integrated circuit for providing stable and reliable voltage output. The main function of the LDO chip is to convert the input voltage into a target output voltage, and to maintain the stability of the output voltage when the input voltage fluctuates. In the present invention, the chip can convert a DC 5V voltage into a DC 3.3V voltage.

[0061] The voltage conversion chip U2 is model N78050M-1000, which is a DC / DC (direct current to direct current) converter module that converts one DC voltage into another DC voltage to meet the power requirements of different circuits or devices. In the present invention, the voltage conversion chip U2 converts the input voltage of the voltage conversion circuit 110 into a DC 5V voltage output.

[0062] The first pin of the voltage conversion chip U2 receives an external input voltage and is the power input point of the entire voltage conversion circuit 110. The third pin of the voltage conversion chip U2 is connected to the first pin and the third pin of the voltage conversion chip U1, and can be used to transmit voltage, current or control signals. The voltage conversion chip U2 can be used as a pre-voltage regulator to provide a stable input voltage or control signal for U1.

The speed control circuit 120 sends speed feedback or request information to the receiving pins (such as SCI RX, SCI TX pins) of chip U4 through the serial port. After the received signal is filtered by capacitors C14, etc., it is converted from serial to parallel by chip U4 and processed into recognizable data. Capacitors C9 and C15 act as decoupling capacitors to help reduce the impact of power supply noise on chip U4 and ensure the stable operation of the chip. Capacitors C10, C11 and C14 play a filtering role in the circuit, which helps to eliminate high-frequency noise and interference in the signal and improve the signal-to-noise ratio and reliability of the signal.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the chopper buck circuit is also called a switching buck circuit or a Buck converter, which controls the current through the inductor by quickly switching a field effect transistor MOSFET (transistor Q1) to achieve voltage reduction.

[0070] The control chip U3 provides a control signal to the base of transistor Q2 through resistors R9 and R8. Q2 acts as a driver, and its collector is connected to the gate of MOSFET (transistor Q1) to amplify the control signal and drive MOSFET (transistor Q1). When Q2 is turned on, the gate of MOSFET (transistor Q1) is pulled down (assuming it is an N-channel MOSFET), and MOSFET (transistor Q1) is turned on, allowing current to pass through the bypass of inductor L1 and diode D1 (D1 is turned off at this time). The current establishes a magnetic field in the inductor and stores energy. When the MOSFET (transistor Q1) is turned off (Q2 is turned off), the current in the inductor cannot be interrupted immediately, so it will continue to flow through diode D1 to form a loop. The inductor releases its stored energy and provides current to the load, while the voltage is reduced to a value lower than the input voltage. Capacitors C12 and C13 are used to smooth the output voltage and reduce voltage fluctuations caused by the rapid switching of MOSFET (transistor Q1). The sampling circuit 130 composed of resistors R11, R12, R13, and R14 is used to monitor the output voltage and feed the information back to the control chip U3. The control chip adjusts the base voltage of Q2 according to the feedback signal, thereby controlling the switching frequency and duty cycle of Q1 to keep the output voltage stable.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the sampling circuit 130 includes: a current sampling circuit 130 and a voltage sampling circuit 130; the current sampling circuit 130 is electrically connected to the control chip U3 and the chopper buck circuit respectively; the voltage sampling circuit 130 is electrically connected to the control chip U3 and the chopper buck circuit respectively;

[0072] The current sampling circuit 130 is used to sample the speed regulating current output by the speed control circuit 120;

[0073] The voltage sampling circuit 130 is used to sample the speed regulating voltage output by the speed control circuit 120 .

[0074] In the above embodiment, the main task of the current sampling circuit 130 is to accurately measure the speed regulating current generated during the output of the speed control circuit 120, which directly reflects the change of the motor load and the control effect of the chopper buck circuit on the current. The current sampling circuit 130 transmits the collected current signal to the control chip U3 for processing after appropriate amplification, filtering and analog-to-digital conversion (ADC). The control chip adjusts the duty cycle or switching frequency of the chopper buck circuit according to the size and change trend of the current value, thereby realizing accurate control of the motor speed.

[0075] The voltage sampling circuit 130 is responsible for collecting the speed regulation voltage during the output of the speed control circuit 120, which not only reflects the stability of the power supply and the conversion efficiency of the chopper buck circuit, but is also closely related to the torque and speed of the motor. The voltage sampling circuit 130 is usually implemented by directly measuring the output voltage of the chopper buck circuit or the power supply voltage of the motor drive circuit. In order to ensure the measurement accuracy, high-precision resistor voltage division, operational amplifier follower or dedicated voltage sensor solutions are usually adopted.

[0076] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a circuit connection diagram of an embodiment of the current sampling circuit 130 provided by the present invention. In some embodiments of the present invention, the current sampling circuit 130 includes: diodes DK1 and DK3; capacitor CK1; resistor RK3;

[0077] One end of the resistor RK3 is connected to the control chip U3, and the other end of the resistor RK3 is connected to the chopper buck circuit; the positive electrode of the diode DK1 is connected to the chopper buck circuit, and the negative electrode of the diode DK1 is connected to the second preset voltage; the negative electrode of the diode DK3 is connected to the chopper buck circuit, the positive electrode of the diode DK3 is connected to one end of the capacitor CK1, and the other end of the capacitor CK1 is connected to the control chip U3.

[0078] In the above embodiment, in this circuit, the diode DK1 plays the role of half-wave rectification. When the current in the chopper buck circuit is positive (i.e., flowing to the positive electrode of the diode DK1), the diode is turned on, allowing the current to pass and flow to the second preset voltage. In this process, the diode DK1 actually limits the current flow direction, ensuring that only the forward current (relative to its polarity) can affect the subsequent circuit. However, in this particular configuration, the diode DK1 may be more used to protect or limit the current, rather than directly participate in current sampling.

[0079] When the current in the chopper buck circuit is negative (i.e., flowing to the cathode of diode DK3), diode DK3 is turned on, allowing current to pass and flow to capacitor CK1 and resistor RK3. Diode DK3 is actually "capturing" negative current because in most motor control or power management applications, the direction and magnitude of the current are of concern, not just its absolute value.

[0080] Capacitor CK1 plays a filtering role here. When diode DK3 is turned on and current passes through, capacitor CK1 will start to charge, and the voltage across it will gradually rise until it reaches a stable value (depending on the current and the capacitance). This voltage value reflects the average or peak value of the negative current in the chopper buck circuit (depending on the charging and discharging characteristics of the capacitor). By adjusting the capacitance of the capacitor, the response speed and sensitivity of the circuit to current changes can be changed.

[0081] When current passes through RK3, according to Ohm's law, a voltage drop proportional to the current will be generated across RK3. This voltage drop is superimposed on the voltage on capacitor CK1 and transmitted to the control chip U3. The resistance value of resistor RK3 determines the proportional factor of the current-to-voltage conversion, that is, the gain of the circuit.

[0082] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 A circuit connection diagram of an embodiment of the voltage sampling circuit 130 provided by the present invention. In some embodiments of the present invention, the voltage sampling circuit 130 includes: resistors RK1, RK2, RK4, RK5; diodes DK2, DK4; capacitor CK2;

[0083] The cathode of diode DK2 is connected to the second preset voltage, the anode of diode DK2 is connected to the cathode of diode DK4, and the anode of diode DK4 is grounded; one end of resistor RK1 is connected to the chopper step-down circuit, the other end of resistor RK1 is connected to one end of resistor RK2, and the other end of resistor RK2 is connected to the anode of diode DK2; one end of resistor RK5 is connected to the anode of diode DK2, and the other end of resistor RK5 is grounded; one end of resistor RK4 is connected to the anode of diode DK2, and the other end of resistor RK4 is connected to the control chip U3; one end of capacitor CK2 is connected to the control chip U3, and the other end of capacitor CK2 is grounded.

[0084] In the above embodiment, the resistors RK1 and RK2 are connected in series between the chopper buck circuit and the diode DK2 to form a voltage divider. After the output voltage of the chopper buck circuit is divided by RK1 and RK2, a lower voltage is generated at the other end of RK2 (i.e., the positive electrode of the diode DK2). This voltage not only reflects the output voltage of the chopper buck circuit, but also reduces the voltage directly applied to the subsequent circuit through the voltage division effect, thereby playing a protective role.

[0085] Diodes DK2 and DK4 form a simple protection circuit, with the positive electrode of diode DK2 connected to the voltage dividing point and its negative electrode connected to the second preset voltage. When the voltage at the voltage dividing point exceeds the second preset voltage, diode DK2 is turned on to discharge the excess voltage to the second preset voltage to prevent the subsequent circuit from being damaged. DK4 is a reverse protection diode, with its negative electrode connected to the positive electrode of DK2 and its positive electrode grounded. When the positive electrode voltage of diode DK2 is lower than the ground potential, diode DK4 is turned on to prevent the negative voltage from damaging the subsequent circuit.

[0086] The resistor RK4 transmits the divided voltage signal to the control chip U3. Since the resistor RK4 is directly connected to the input terminal of the control chip, the selection of its resistance value needs to take into account the control chip's requirements for the input voltage range, as well as the attenuation and noise problems during signal transmission.

[0087] Capacitor CK2 is connected in parallel with resistor RK4 to play a filtering role. It can smooth out high-frequency noise and ripples in the voltage signal, making the voltage signal transmitted to the control chip U3 more stable and reliable. The capacity and type of capacitor CK2 need to be selected according to the specific noise frequency and filtering requirements.

[0088] Resistor RK5 is connected between the positive electrode of diode DK2 and ground to form a discharge loop. When the circuit is powered off or the output voltage of the chopper step-down circuit drops suddenly, a certain amount of charge may remain on capacitor CK2. RK5 provides a discharge path for these charges to prevent surge current or damage to the control chip U3 when power is restored.
