Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooling fan technology, and more specifically, to a method, system, and device for regulating the airflow of a cooling fan. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most cooling fans on the market operate at a fixed airflow (speed), typically to meet the machine's maximum heat dissipation requirements. Therefore, even in standby or low-power operation modes, the cooling fan continues to operate at a relatively high airflow (speed). This results in wasted energy, especially when powered by battery, shortening battery life. Furthermore, the high airflow (speed) of the cooling fan also increases noise levels.

[0003] There is another type of device on the market that uses temperature sensors to measure the internal air temperature of the machine to adjust the airflow (speed) of the cooling fan. However, due to the internal structure of the machine, poor air circulation in some areas leads to inconsistent air temperatures in different areas, causing the temperature read by the temperature sensor to not represent the overall internal temperature of the machine. Using multiple temperature sensors would increase hardware costs, make software data processing more complex, and fixing multiple temperature sensors inside the machine would also increase the difficulty of operation.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments.

[0039] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0040] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a method for adjusting the airflow of a cooling fan, as provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0041] Step 110: Determine the target total power of the target cooling fan.

[0042] The target cooling fan is the cooling fan that regulates airflow.

[0043] Target total power, which is the total power of the target cooling fan.

[0044] There are two ways to determine the target total power. The first is to directly obtain the total power; the second is to determine the total power through the total current. Specifically, the first method is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, step 110 above may include steps 210 and 220:

[0045] Step 210: Obtain the target power of each target functional module in the target cooling fan.

[0046] Among them, the target functional module is the functional module of the target cooling fan.

[0047] Target power, which is the power of the target functional module.

[0048] Hardware circuits such as Figure 3 As shown, the hardware calculates and measures the target power of all target functional modules (modules, components, sensors, etc.) of the whole machine.

[0049] The target functional modules include a display screen, a turbine, an audio amplifier, a CO2 module, a SpO2 module, and other modules. Furthermore, different brightness levels of the display screen correspond to different power outputs; different turbine speed levels correspond to different power outputs; different volume levels of the audio amplifier correspond to different power outputs; different operating states of the CO2 module correspond to different power outputs; different operating states of the SpO2 module correspond to different power outputs; and other functional modules also correspond to different power outputs depending on their operating state.

[0050] Step 220: Determine the target total power of the target cooling fan based on the target power of each target functional module.

[0051] Then, by adding up the target power of all the target functional modules, the target total power of the target cooling fan can be obtained.

[0052] The second method is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, step 110 above may include steps 410 and 420:

[0053] Step 410: Obtain the target total current of the target cooling fan.

[0054] The target total current is the total current of the target cooling fan.

[0055] Hardware circuits such as Figure 5 As shown, the hardware obtains the total current of the entire machine through the ADC current sampling circuit, and then obtains the target total current of the target cooling fan.

[0056] In practice, the data interface of the ADC current sampling circuit can be I2C / SPI / UART interface. The ADC current sampling circuit transmits data to the main control board in real time through the data interface, and can directly collect the target total current of the target cooling fan from the main control board.

[0057] Step 420: Determine the target total power of the target cooling fan based on the target total current.

[0058] The target total power of the cooling fan can be obtained by calculating the sampled current (target total current) * supply voltage = total target power of the whole machine.

[0059] Step 120: Determine the target operating mode of the target cooling fan based on the target total power.

[0060] Among them, cooling fans have different working modes, and the number of functional modules they operate may differ depending on the working mode.

[0061] The cooling fan airflow adjustment method provided in this application embodiment generally divides the cooling fan's operating modes into three types: the first is when there are few operating functional modules and natural heat dissipation is possible; the second is when there are many operating functional modules and natural heat dissipation is not possible; and the third is when the total power of the operating functional modules exceeds a certain value, requiring the heat dissipation to be adjusted to the maximum. Specifically, as shown in the example... Figure 6 As shown, step 120 above may include steps 610 to 630:

[0062] Step 610: When the target total power is less than the first threshold, determine the target operating mode of the target cooling fan as the first operating mode.

[0063] The first threshold can be determined by calculation or experiment, and is not limited here.

[0064] Furthermore, the first threshold can be determined based on the ratio of the target total power to the first threshold.

[0065] The first threshold ratio is a preset threshold ratio. Thus, the first threshold can be obtained by multiplying the target total power by the first threshold ratio; specifically, the first threshold is obtained by multiplying the target total power by the first threshold ratio.

[0066] The first working mode is the first situation mentioned above.

[0067] Step 620: When the target total power is between the first threshold and the second threshold, determine the target operating mode of the target cooling fan as the second operating mode.

[0068] The second threshold can also be determined by calculation or experiment, and is not limited here.

[0069] Furthermore, the second threshold can be determined based on the ratio of the target total power to the second threshold.

[0070] The second threshold ratio is a preset threshold ratio. Thus, the second threshold can be obtained by multiplying the target total power by the second threshold ratio; specifically, the second threshold is obtained by multiplying the target total power by the second threshold ratio.

[0071] The second working mode is the second situation mentioned above.

[0072] Step 630: When the target total power is greater than the second threshold, determine the target operating mode of the target cooling fan as the third operating mode.

[0073] The third working mode is the third situation mentioned above.

[0074] Step 130: Based on the target operating mode, determine the corresponding target control strategy, and use the target control strategy to adjust the airflow of the target cooling fan.

[0075] Different operating modes correspond to different control strategies. Under different operating modes, the airflow of the cooling fan is adjusted according to the corresponding control strategy. Specifically, for example... Figure 7 As shown, step 130 above may include steps 710 to 730:

[0076] Step 710: When the target working mode is the first working mode, determine the target control strategy as the first control strategy.

[0077] The first control strategy is to control the speed of the target cooling fan to 0.

[0078] The first working mode is the first situation mentioned above. In this mode, fewer functional modules are running, and the heat can be dissipated naturally. Therefore, the speed of the target cooling fan can be controlled to 0.

[0079] Step 720: When the target working mode is the second working mode, determine the target control strategy as the second control strategy.

[0080] The second control strategy involves controlling the speed of the target cooling fan based on the target total power.

[0081] The second working mode is the second situation mentioned above. In this case, there are more functional modules running, and natural heat dissipation is not possible. It is necessary to adjust the speed of the target cooling fan according to the target total power. Generally, the speed of the target cooling fan increases with the increase of the target total power of the target cooling fan. Specifically, step 720 above may include the following steps:

[0082] When the target control strategy is the second control strategy, the preset target speed level corresponding to the target total power is matched, and the speed of the target cooling fan is controlled to be the target speed under the preset target speed level.

[0083] In practice, firstly, the maximum power of the machine can be measured in advance, and then divided into ten levels from zero to the maximum power, with the maximum power corresponding to 10 levels (or more and more refined levels); secondly, the air volume (rotation speed) required for each power level can be measured in advance and set in the software; finally, the machine will automatically identify the power level based on the actual power detected in a certain mode, and then match the required air volume (rotation speed) to drive the fan to work.

[0084] Step 730: When the target working mode is the third working mode, determine the target control strategy as the third control strategy.

[0085] The third control strategy is to control the speed of the target cooling fan to its maximum speed.

[0086] The third working mode is the third situation mentioned above. In this case, the total power of the running functional modules exceeds a certain value, and the heat dissipation needs to be adjusted to the maximum.

[0087] The cooling fan airflow adjustment method provided in this application first determines the target total power of the target cooling fan; second, based on the target total power, it determines the target operating mode of the target cooling fan; finally, based on the target operating mode, it determines the corresponding target control strategy and uses the target control strategy to adjust the airflow of the target cooling fan. In this way, the cooling fan airflow (speed) can be automatically adjusted according to the machine's operating mode (total power); while achieving good heat dissipation, automatically reducing the airflow (speed) when the machine's operating power is low can also achieve energy saving (extending battery life) and noise reduction.
