Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of chip production and manufacturing, and in particular to a high-precision chip temperature control system. Background Art
[0002] In the electronics industry, chips have strict temperature requirements for normal operation. Currently, chip cooling technology is a key component in ensuring stable chip operation, and it has undergone a significant evolution. Early simple cooling methods have gradually evolved into the widely used air cooling and liquid cooling technologies of today. These technologies can, to a certain extent, meet the cooling requirements of chips under normal operating conditions, with their primary goal being to control chip temperatures within a specified range.
[0003] At the patent level, there are already many patented technologies related to chip cooling. These technologies have innovated from different perspectives in terms of heat dissipation structure, heat dissipation materials, and heat dissipation principles, improving heat dissipation efficiency and stability to a certain extent. However, these patented technologies mainly focus on optimizing heat dissipation effects under stable power conditions.
[0004] Currently, chip cooling faces critical challenges. On the one hand, the adjustable range and speed of current cooling methods are relatively low, making it difficult to effectively adjust the cooling intensity in a timely manner when the chip power changes. On the other hand, the heat dissipation equipment has a relatively large thermal capacity. This characteristic, due to thermal inertia, makes it difficult to cope with sudden changes in chip power consumption. Consequently, when the chip power suddenly increases or decreases, the chip temperature changes dramatically, adversely affecting chip performance. Existing cooling technologies lack effective solutions to this problem. While improvements have been explored, most rely solely on fan or pump speed regulation. This has limited adjustment ranges and significant shortcomings in temperature control accuracy, making it impossible to meet the high-precision temperature control requirements of chips. Therefore, a new chip temperature control device is urgently needed to address this issue. Summary of the Invention

[0042] The present invention proposes a high-precision chip temperature control system. This precise chip temperature control system is premised on the chip's ability to output specific parameters. For example, certain Intel CPU chips can output real-time power consumption and real-time chip temperature. These two key parameters are input into the temperature control system of the present invention as control signals. This input method, based on the chip's own real-time parameters, lays a solid foundation for achieving precise temperature control. Throughout the temperature control process, the chip's temperature sensor plays an indispensable role. It continuously monitors the chip temperature in real time and feeds this accurate temperature information back to the temperature control device, thereby providing a precise basis for the device's control actions and ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of temperature control.
[0043] The present invention uses liquid cooling technology with pump and fan speed control. This liquid cooling method provides a strong guarantee for efficient heat dissipation, while the pump and fan speed control functions further enhance the flexibility and adaptability of the cooling system.
[0044] On this basis, the present device has a unique liquid circuit design. In addition to setting up a conventional cooling liquid circuit for basic heat dissipation functions, a heating liquid circuit and a refrigeration liquid circuit with peak shaving and valley filling functions are additionally added. These two special liquid circuits are the key innovations of the present invention. They are specifically used to deal with the complex and difficult problem of sudden changes in chip power consumption during operation. In order to achieve faster and more effective temperature control, the heating liquid circuit and the refrigeration liquid circuit are arranged as close as possible to the inlet area of the chip cooling liquid circuit. Such a layout can effectively reduce the heat capacity and reduce the delay in the heat transfer process, so that it can respond more quickly to changes in chip temperature and achieve the goal of fast and constant chip temperature. Moreover, the heating liquid circuit and the refrigeration liquid circuit pipelines are driven by a first gear pump 10 and a second gear pump 11 with a precise flow metering function. This gear pump can accurately control the flow of the coolant, providing reliable hardware support for the subsequent precise adjustment of the cooling or heating power according to the changes in chip power consumption.
[0045] In a specific embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a high-precision temperature control system for a chip includes a control board 13 and a heating chip 12. The control board 13 is connected to the heating chip 12 by signal. The heating chip 12 feeds back the chip power consumption value and the chip temperature value to the control board 13. It also includes a main cooling circuit 2, an auxiliary peak-shaving cooling circuit 8, and an auxiliary valley-filling heating circuit 9. The main cooling circuit 2 is connected to the heat exchange pipeline of the heating chip 12. Two branches, an auxiliary peak-shaving cooling circuit 8 and an auxiliary valley-filling heating circuit 9, are provided between the main cooling circuit 2 and the heat exchange pipeline of the heating chip 12. The auxiliary peak-shaving cooling circuit 8 and the auxiliary valley-filling heating circuit 9 are connected to the main cooling circuit 2 through a first gear pump 10 and a second gear pump 11 respectively. The first gear pump 10 and the second gear pump 11 are respectively connected to the control board 13 by signal. The main cooling circuit 2 is connected to the output end and the return end of the main cooling circuit liquid storage tank 1. A heat exchanger 15 is provided on the main cooling circuit 2 near the return end of the main cooling circuit liquid storage tank 1. A fan 14 is provided on the heat exchanger 15, and the fan 14 is connected to the control board 13 by signal. The main cooling circuit 2 is provided with a main circuit pump 3 at the output end near the main cooling circuit liquid storage tank 1, and the main circuit pump 3 is connected to the control board 13 by signal. The main cooling circuit 2 is provided with a solenoid valve near the end of the main circuit pump 3. The input end of the auxiliary peak shaving cooling circuit 8 is connected to the peak shaving cooling liquid storage tank 5, the output end of the auxiliary peak shaving cooling circuit 8 is connected to the first gear pump 10, the input end of the auxiliary valley filling heating circuit 9 is connected to the valley filling heating liquid storage tank 4, the output end of the auxiliary valley filling heating circuit 9 is connected to the second gear pump 11, the peak shaving cooling liquid storage tank 5 is connected to the refrigeration system 7, and the valley filling heating liquid storage tank 4 is connected to the heating system 6.
[0046] The chip's conventional cooling fluid circuit plays a fundamental and crucial role in the entire cooling system. When the chip is operating at a constant power consumption, the conventional cooling fluid circuit effectively removes the heat generated by the chip by continuously and steadily circulating the coolant. By properly adjusting the speed of the main circuit pump 3 and fan 14, the chip temperature can be precisely controlled within the appropriate operating temperature range. For example, the chip temperature can be stabilized within a highly precise set value range of 70°C ± 0.2°C, ensuring stable performance and reliable operation of the chip at a constant power consumption.
[0047] When the chip power consumption suddenly increases, the additional peak-shaving cooling liquid circuit begins to play a key role. The operating mechanism of this cooling liquid circuit is very sophisticated. It can accurately release coolant at a lower temperature through its equipped first gear pump 10 based on the specific value of the chip power consumption increase. In this process, the flow rate of the released coolant is strictly and accurately calculated to ensure that the cooling power generated by this part of the coolant during evaporation or heat exchange on the chip surface is exactly equal to the increase in chip power consumption. Through this precise matching method, the additional heat generated by the sudden increase in power consumption can be effectively offset, thereby ensuring that the chip temperature remains constant and avoiding the adverse effects of the sudden temperature change caused by the sudden increase in power consumption on chip performance.
[0048] When chip power consumption suddenly decreases, the additional valley-fill heating liquid circuit begins to operate. Based on the specific circumstances of the chip's power reduction, it uses the second gear pump 11 to accurately release a higher-temperature coolant. The released heating liquid flow rate is also carefully calculated to ensure that the heating power generated by this heating liquid during heat exchange with the chip is exactly equal to the reduction in chip power consumption. This way, even if chip power consumption suddenly decreases, the chip temperature is not affected and remains stable, further protecting chip performance from temperature fluctuations and ensuring stable and reliable chip operation under complex and variable power consumption conditions.
[0049] The specific implementation is through the coordination between the modules configured on the control board 13, specifically:
[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the control panel 13 includes a real-time data acquisition and processing module, a historical data analysis and prediction module, a PID controller module, a feedforward compensation module, a comprehensive control decision module, a physical parameter compensation module, a flow comprehensive adjustment module, a flow fine-tuning module, and a final flow adjustment instruction generation module;
[0051] The real-time data acquisition and processing module is connected to the heating chip 12, and its output is connected to the historical data analysis and prediction module and the PID controller module. The real-time data acquisition and processing module inputs the real-time power consumption P(t) and temperature T(t) data from the heating chip 12 and outputs the pre-processed power consumption and temperature data stream;
[0052] The historical data analysis and prediction module is connected to the real-time data acquisition and processing module and outputs to the feedforward compensation module. The historical data analysis and prediction module inputs the data received from the real-time data acquisition and processing module and outputs the power consumption prediction value. .
[0053] The historical data analysis and prediction module is a key component in the chip's high-precision temperature control system. It uses time series analysis or machine learning algorithms to predict future power consumption trends based on stored historical power consumption and temperature data. This module aims to predict potential power consumption fluctuations in the chip in advance, providing the necessary information for the feedforward compensation module. This allows the system to respond to power consumption changes before they occur, improving the accuracy and timeliness of temperature control.
[0054] The working principle of the historical data analysis and prediction module is:
[0055] The module receives pre-processed power consumption and temperature data from the real-time data acquisition and processing module and stores it in the internal database for subsequent analysis. The received data is further cleaned to remove outliers, fill in missing data points, and convert the data into a form suitable for analysis. Through time domain and frequency domain analysis, statistical feature calculation and other methods, key features that can reflect the system behavior pattern are extracted, such as periodic changes, trend components, seasonal factors, etc. According to the application scenario and technical requirements, select a suitable time series prediction model or machine learning algorithm (such as ARIMA, LSTM neural network, etc.). Use historical data to train the selected model and optimize the model parameters to obtain the best prediction performance. Use the trained model to predict the power consumption changes in the future period and generate power consumption prediction values. The prediction timeframe can be set based on actual needs, ranging from a short window (e.g., minutes to hours) to a longer window (e.g., days or longer). The predicted power consumption trend is sent to the feedforward compensation module, which serves as the basis for adjusting the coolant or heating fluid flow rate. A closed-loop control system is also established to regularly evaluate the accuracy of the prediction results. Model updates or retraining are performed based on actual operating conditions to ensure the continued effectiveness of the predictions.
[0056] For example, in a specific embodiment, the system needs to predict the power consumption trend within the next 10 minutes. The historical data analysis and prediction module performs the following steps:
[0057] 1. Data reception: The historical data analysis and prediction module receives the latest power consumption and temperature data from the real-time data acquisition and processing module.
[0058] 2. Data processing: Perform preprocessing steps such as cleaning, filling missing values, and smoothing noise on the newly received data.
[0059] 3. Feature extraction: Calculate the time series characteristics of the current data, such as mean, variance, autocorrelation coefficient, etc., while taking into account past periodicity and trend information.
[0060] 4. Model application: Apply a pre-trained time series prediction model (such as ARIMA or LSTM) to predict the power consumption trend over the next 10 minutes based on current features and historical data.
[0061] 5. Output prediction results: Output the predicted power consumption trend Sent to the feedforward compensation module so that it can prepare corresponding flow regulation measures in advance.
[0062] The historical data analysis and prediction module can provide reliable prediction information for the feedforward compensation module, providing strong support for the efficient operation of the entire chip high-precision temperature control system.
[0063] The PID controller module interacts with the real-time data acquisition and processing module to obtain the current temperature information and input the target temperature set point T setpoint and current temperature T(t), outputs the flow regulation amount Q based on the error calculation PID The PID controller module is one of the core control components in the chip's high-precision temperature control system, responsible for calculating the required flow adjustment amount Q based on the error between the current temperature and the target temperature. PID The module maintains the chip temperature near the set point by precisely adjusting the flow of cooling or heating liquid to achieve stable and efficient temperature control.
[0064] The working principle of the PID controller module is as follows: The PID controller module obtains the real-time measurement value of the current temperature T(t) from the real-time data acquisition and processing module, and reads the target temperature set point T setpoint , calculate the current temperature T(t) and the target temperature T setpoint The error between e(t) = T setpoint -T(t). Apply PID control algorithm to calculate the flow regulation amount Q that needs to be adjusted PID (t), the formula is as follows:
[0065] ;
[0066] Where: e(t) = T setpoint -T(t) is the error signal, K p , K i , K d are the proportional, integral and differential coefficients respectively,
[0067] Q PID (t) is the flow adjustment value calculated by the PID controller, which represents the flow rate of the coolant or heating liquid that needs to be adjusted at time t to correct the deviation between the current temperature and the target temperature. The three parameters K of the PID controller are optimized through experimental debugging and automatic parameter adjustment algorithm. p , K i , K d , in order to achieve the best control performance. The calculated flow adjustment amount Q PID (t) is sent to the integrated control decision module as part of its basis for formulating the final flow regulation instructions.
[0068] For example, in a specific embodiment, the system needs to maintain the chip temperature within the range of 70°C ± 0.2°C. The PID controller module performs the following steps:
[0069] 1. Receiving temperature information: The PID controller module receives the latest temperature data T(t) from the real-time data acquisition and processing module, and reads the target temperature T set by the user. setpoint =70℃.
[0070] 2. Error calculation: Calculate the error between the current temperature and the target temperature: e(t) = 70°C - T(t).
[0071] 3. PID control algorithm application: Apply the PID control algorithm to calculate the flow adjustment amount Q that needs to be adjusted based on the error e(t) PID (t).
[0072] 4. Parameter tuning: If the control effect is not ideal, you can adjust the PID parameter K p , K i , K d , to obtain better control performance.
[0073] 5. Output adjustment amount: Subtract the calculated flow adjustment amount Q PID (t) is sent to the integrated control decision module so that it can formulate the final flow regulation instruction based on the information of feedforward compensation.
[0074] The feedforward compensation module receives the forecast data from the historical data analysis and forecast module and inputs the future power consumption change trend And send the result to the comprehensive control decision module to output the feedforward adjustment value Q feedforward ;
[0075] The feedforward compensation module is an important component of the chip's high-precision temperature control system. It is designed to calculate and output the required flow adjustment amount Q in advance based on the future power consumption change trend provided by the historical data analysis and prediction module. feedforward The module enables faster and more precise temperature control by pre-adjusting the flow of coolant or heating fluid to offset expected power consumption fluctuations:
[0076] Feedforward compensation module workflow:
[0077] The feedforward compensation module receives the future power consumption change trend from the historical data analysis and prediction module The current actual power consumption P(t) is provided by the real-time data acquisition and processing module. This data forms the basis for the feedforward compensation module's calculations. If the forecast indicates that power consumption will increase in the future (for example, due to increased load or running higher-performance applications), the feedforward compensation module will need to prepare additional cooling capacity. Conversely, if the forecast indicates that power consumption will decrease, the coolant flow rate will need to be reduced or a heater will be introduced to maintain a stable temperature.
[0078] Set the feedforward gain coefficient k f , set the feedforward gain coefficient k f This is a key step that determines the system's response strength to the predicted power consumption changes. f The following aspects need to be considered:
[0079] System response characteristics: Understand the dynamic response characteristics of the system, including the time delay from when the flow rate is adjusted to actually affect the chip temperature. This can be determined experimentally and is usually known during the design phase.
[0080] Experimental data: The data obtained through experiments can be used to evaluate different k f For example, in a laboratory environment, various power consumption changes are simulated and the corresponding temperature response curves are recorded to optimize k f .
[0081] Stability considerations: Ensure k f The selection should not cause the system to overreact, that is, avoid excessive compensation that causes temperature fluctuations outside the allowable range. At the same time, sufficient response speed should be ensured to offset the temperature impact caused by power consumption changes in a timely manner.
[0082] Safety: Considering the safety and reliability of the system in extreme cases, k fIt should be within a reasonable range, neither overly conservative nor overly radical.
[0083] Then according to the set k f And the received power consumption change trend, apply the formula to calculate the feedforward adjustment amount Q feedforward :
[0084]
[0085] in:
[0086] where k f is the feedforward gain coefficient, is the predicted future power consumption value, and P(t) is the current actual power consumption value.
[0087] The calculated feedforward adjustment quantity Q feedforward Sent to the comprehensive control decision module as part of the basis for formulating the final flow regulation instructions.
[0088] For example, in a specific embodiment, the system needs to prepare for the power consumption change trend within the next 10 minutes in advance. The feedforward compensation module performs the following steps:
[0089] 1. Receive prediction data: The feedforward compensation module receives the latest power consumption prediction value , and the current actual power consumption (P(t).
[0090] 2. Power consumption trend analysis: Analyze the power consumption trend over the next 10 minutes to determine whether power consumption will increase or decrease, and estimate the impact of these changes on temperature.
[0091] 3. Set the feedforward gain coefficient k f :Based on the system response characteristics and previous experimental data, set an appropriate k f .
[0092] 4. Calculation of feedforward regulation: Apply the formula to calculate the feedforward regulation Q feedforward (t), in order to prepare corresponding flow regulation measures.
[0093] 5. Output regulation: The calculated feedforward regulation Q feedforward (t) is sent to the integrated control decision module so that it can combine the information of the PID controller to formulate the final flow regulation instruction.
[0094] The integrated control decision module receives the adjustment quantity Q from the PID controller module PID And the feedforward adjustment quantity Q of the information of the feedforward compensation module feedforward , the output is connected to the physical parameter compensation module, and the output comprehensive flow regulation instruction Q finalThe integrated control decision module is one of the core components of the chip's high-precision temperature control system. It is responsible for integrating the adjustment amount from the PID controller module and the information from the feedforward compensation module (i.e., the feedforward adjustment amount), and calculating the final flow control instruction Q based on this information. final By combining the advantages of real-time feedback control and predictive control, this module can achieve more accurate and timely adjustment of the cooling or heating liquid flow, thereby ensuring the stability and efficiency of the chip temperature.
[0095] The working principle of the comprehensive control decision module is:
[0096] The integrated control decision module receives the flow regulation value Q calculated based on the current temperature error from the PID controller module. PID (t), and at the same time receives the feedforward adjustment value Q calculated based on the future power consumption change trend prediction from the feedforward compensation module feedforward (t). Weight factors α and β are set based on the system's response characteristics and experimental data. α represents the weight of the PID control variable, and β represents the weight of the feedforward compensation variable. These two factors determine the relative importance of the two control methods in the final flow control command.
[0097] Apply the formula to calculate the comprehensive flow regulation index Q final (t), the formula is as follows:
[0098]
[0099] Among them, α is the weight factor of PID adjustment amount, and β is the weight factor of feedforward compensation amount.
[0100] The calculated comprehensive flow regulation instruction Q final (t) is sent to the physical parameter compensation module as the basis for the next fine-tuning.
[0101] For example, in a specific embodiment, the system needs to maintain the chip temperature within the range of 70°C ± 0.2°C and to cope with the power consumption change trend in the next 10 minutes. The comprehensive control decision module performs the following steps:

Whether power consumption suddenly increases or decreases, the additional cooling and heating circuits quickly respond by releasing coolant at the appropriate temperature and flow rate to maintain a constant chip temperature. This effectively prevents chip performance degradation caused by rapid temperature fluctuations and achieves highly precise temperature control. Precise chip temperature control ensures the chip consistently operates at optimal performance. This eliminates performance issues such as computational errors and reduced processing speeds caused by overheating or overcooling, which are often the shortcomings of traditional cooling methods in addressing sudden power fluctuations. This significantly improves chip performance stability and reliability. Unlike traditional cooling technologies, this invention incorporates specialized cooling circuits in addition to conventional cooling circuits, enabling the cooling system to better adapt to the complex and changing operating conditions of the chip. This not only effectively dissipates heat when power consumption is stable, but also remains robust in scenarios with sudden power fluctuations, enhancing the overall cooling system's adaptability to diverse operating conditions. This stable temperature environment reduces material fatigue and damage to the chip caused by thermal stress. It avoids the accelerated aging of the chip at high temperatures and the possible changes in physical properties at low temperatures, thereby extending the service life of the chip and reducing the risk of chip failure due to temperature problems.
