In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprise a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.

[0059] The main high-power circuit on the air-conditioning controller is the fan drive circuit, among which the main power component is the fan module, and the corresponding power can reach more than 80% of the overall power of the controller. Its high power consumption characteristics cause the heat generated by itself to be very high. At the same time, due to the requirements of integrated and miniaturized lean design, the temperature rise of the fan module has always been a major pain point in the controller design layout.

[0060] Existing technologies often use thermal optimization settings such as increasing the copper area and thickness, increasing the number of thermal vias on the PCB, and adding heat sinks to high-power devices. These heat dissipation methods are based on the controller PCB circuit structure, changing device parameters to optimize temperature rise, which will partially increase the device cost burden and affect the overall structure of the air conditioner. At the same time, the above methods lack specific quantitative data support, and cannot form standard specifications in actual design, increasing labor costs.

[0061] Based on this, the present invention provides an adjustment method for a control device, which can improve the heat flux density between components in the control device without affecting the overall structure of the air conditioner, so as to improve the working performance and reliability of the control device.

[0062] The present invention provides a fan heat dissipation adjustment method, which is applied to a fan drive circuit. The fan drive circuit includes multiple power devices. The positions of the power devices can be adjusted by the fan heat dissipation adjustment method, thereby improving the heat flux density between the components in the control device without affecting the overall structure of the air conditioner, thereby improving the working performance and reliability of the control device. Figure 1 , Figure 1A flow chart of steps of a fan heat dissipation adjustment method in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The fan heat dissipation adjustment method includes steps 100 to 700.

[0063] Step 100: Obtain an initial layout of each power device and a size of a wind turbine drive circuit. The initial layout includes an initial local optimal layout and an initial global optimal layout.

[0064] Step 200: construct a position optimization model according to the size of the fan drive circuit, and determine the optimized layout based on the initial local optimum through the position optimization model.

[0065] Step 300 , determine the heat dissipation characteristics of the optimized layout, and judge whether the heat dissipation characteristics of the optimized layout are better than the heat dissipation characteristics of the initial layout. If so, execute step 400 .

[0066] Step 400 : Determine and judge whether the convergence characteristic of the optimized layout is less than or equal to a first preset threshold according to a first preset rule. If yes, execute step 500 .

[0067] Step 500 , determining whether the heat dissipation temperature corresponding to the current initial local optimum is less than or equal to a second preset threshold. If so, executing step 600 .

[0068] Step 600: take the current initial local optimum as the new initial global optimum layout, return to the step of determining the optimized layout based on the initial local optimum through the position optimization model, until the second preset rule is met, and determine the final global optimum layout.

[0069] Step 700: Adjust the layout positions of power devices according to the final global optimal layout to improve the heat dissipation performance of the fan.

[0070] Based on this, this embodiment obtains the initial layout of each power device and the size of the fan drive circuit. Construct and determine the optimized layout based on the initial local optimum through the position optimization model, and then judge in turn whether the heat dissipation characteristics and convergence characteristics of the optimized layout meet the preset conditions, so as to update the initial layout through the optimized layout; if the heat dissipation characteristics and convergence characteristics of the optimized layout do not meet the preset conditions, then judge whether the heat dissipation temperature corresponding to the current initial local optimum meets the second preset threshold, if so, take the current initial local optimum as the new initial global optimal layout, return to execute the step of determining the optimized layout based on the initial local optimum through the position optimization model, until the second preset rule is met, and determine the final global optimal layout; adjust the layout position of the power device according to the final global optimal layout, so as to improve the heat flux density between the components in the control device without affecting the overall structure of the air conditioner, and improve the working performance and reliability of the control device.

[0071] In this embodiment, Figure 1 Based on Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the steps of step 100 in this embodiment is shown. The step of obtaining the initial layout of each power device in step 100 includes steps 101 and 102.

[0072] Step 101: Obtain the initial address of each power device.

[0073] Step 102: determine an address layout based on the initial addresses of each power device, and use the address layout as an initial local optimal layout and an initial global optimal layout to obtain an initial layout.

[0074] In this embodiment, taking the existing half-bridge discrete fan drive circuit as an example, the initial address of the components with high power and low temperature rise margin in the above drive circuit, for example, the fan half-bridge chip, can be obtained. This embodiment does not limit the method of obtaining the initial address, as long as the address coordinates corresponding to the screened high-power devices can be obtained.

[0075] In one possible implementation method, high-power devices, that is, components with large power and low temperature rise margin, can be screened out through indicators such as the rated power indicated on the component nameplate on the existing half-bridge discrete fan drive circuit, and then a coordinate equation is established according to the chip size corresponding to the existing half-bridge discrete fan drive circuit, that is, the size of the fan drive circuit described in this embodiment, to obtain the initial address of each power device, and then a device distribution map of the current high-power device is constructed based on the initial address as the original data of the fan heat dissipation adjustment method, and the original data is used as the initial input parameter of the local optimal and global optimal layout of the following position optimization model to determine the optimized layout.

[0076] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the initial layout includes not only the initial local optimum and the initial global optimum layout, but also the initial ambient temperature and the initial annealing temperature.

[0077] In order to ensure the integration of devices and the utilization of chip area, this embodiment provides a method for constructing a position optimization model. For example, the movable range of each power device can be determined by the size of the fan drive circuit, thereby obtaining an optimized layout. In one possible implementation method, Figure 1 Based on the reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 A step-by-step flow chart of step 200 is shown, wherein the step of constructing a location optimization model in step 200 includes steps 201 and 202 .

[0078] Step 201: Determine the moving range of each power device according to the size of the fan drive circuit.

[0079] Step 202: construct a displacement function based on the moving range to obtain a position optimization model.

[0080] Among them, the expression of the location optimization model satisfies:

[0081] R=ΔR*T i , R≤R max ;

[0082] Where R is the moving radius of each power device; ΔR is the attenuation coefficient; T i is the annealing temperature in the i-th iteration; R max is the maximum moving distance.

[0083] In this embodiment, each power device can be randomly moved according to the determined moving range, wherein the corresponding moving range also needs to satisfy the function expression of the current annealing temperature. In this embodiment, the annealing temperature will decrease with the increase of the number of iterations. Based on this, as the number of iterations increases, the annealing temperature corresponding to the number of iterations gradually decreases, and the moving range corresponding to any power device will also increase with the number of iterations, and the moving distance will become smaller, thereby increasing the accuracy of the position adjustment of each power device.

[0084] When the heat dissipation characteristics include the sum of the maximum temperature values ​​of each power device, Figure 1 Based on the reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 The step-by-step flow chart of step 300 is shown. The step of judging whether the heat dissipation characteristic of the optimized layout is better than the heat dissipation characteristic of the initial layout in step 300 includes steps 301 to 304 .

[0085] Step 301 , determine whether the sum of the highest temperature values ​​of the optimized layout is less than or equal to the sum of the temperatures of the initial global optimal layout; if so, execute step 302 .

[0086] Step 302: using the optimized layout as a new initial global optimal layout and a new initial local optimal layout, and executing a step of determining whether the heat dissipation temperature corresponding to the current initial layout is less than a second preset threshold.

[0087] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, after the step of determining whether the sum of the highest temperature values ​​is less than or equal to the sum of the temperatures of the initial global optimal layout, steps 303 to 304 are also included.

[0088] Step 303: If the sum of the highest temperature values ​​of the optimized layout is greater than the sum of the temperatures of the initial global optimal layout, it is determined whether the sum of the highest temperature values ​​corresponding to the optimized layout is less than or equal to the sum of the temperatures of the initial local optimal layout. If so, step 304 is executed.

[0089] Step 304: take the optimized layout as a new initial local optimum, keep the initial global optimum layout unchanged, and execute the step of determining whether the heat dissipation temperature corresponding to the current initial layout is less than a second preset threshold.

[0090] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation characteristics include the sum of the highest temperature values ​​of each power device. The initial layout is represented by S0, and the optimized layout is represented by S1. The temperatures of all components under the initial layout S0 and the optimized layout S1 are calculated respectively, and the maximum record of the temperature of the components under the initial layout S0 is obtained. When the number of screened power devices is 3, the maximum record of the temperature of the components under the initial layout S0 is recorded as: TL = (t1, t2, t3); the maximum record of the temperature of the components under the optimized layout S1 is recorded as: TLN = (t1N, t2N, t3N).

[0091] In the first round of iteration, the maximum temperature values ​​corresponding to the initial local optimal and initial global optimal layouts are equal to TL=(t1, t2, t3) corresponding to the initial layout S0.

[0092] During the first round of iteration, it is determined whether the sum of the highest temperature values ​​of the optimized layout is less than or equal to the sum of the temperatures of the initial global optimal layout, wherein the value corresponding to the sum of the highest temperature values ​​of the optimized layout satisfies t1N+t2n+t3N; the value corresponding to the sum of the temperatures of the initial global optimal layout satisfies: t1+t2+t3; at this time, if t1N+t2N+t3N≤t1+t2+t3, that is, the sum of the highest temperature values ​​of the optimized layout is less than or equal to the sum of the temperatures of the initial global optimal layout, then it can be understood that the heat dissipation characteristics corresponding to the optimized layout S1 are better than the initial global optimal layout, and the optimized layout S1 is used to replace the initial global optimal layout and the initial local layout to obtain a new layout.

[0093] If the sum of the highest temperature values ​​of the optimized layout is greater than the sum of the temperatures of the initial global optimal layout, the degree of superiority between the optimized layout and the initial local optimal layout can be further judged. For example, it can be judged whether the sum of the highest temperature values ​​of the optimized layout is less than or equal to the sum of the temperatures of the initial local optimal layout. If it is less than or equal to, it means that the heat dissipation characteristics of the optimized layout are better than the heat dissipation characteristics of the initial local optimal layout. The coordinates corresponding to the optimized layout are used to update the initial local optimal layout. At this time, the initial global optimal layout is kept unchanged.

[0094] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the corresponding heat dissipation characteristics of the global optimal layout and the local optimal layout may be the same or different at different iteration times. For example, in the first round of iteration, the original data of the fan heat dissipation adjustment method is used as an input parameter. At this time, the heat dissipation characteristics corresponding to the global optimal layout and the local optimal layout are the same. After that, the global optimal layout and / or the local optimal layout are iteratively updated using the addresses corresponding to the optimized layout to obtain coordinates that meet the preset requirements and output the final global optimal layout.

[0095] In this embodiment, the initial local optimal layout and the initial global optimal layout are both layout parameters that characterize the iterative process.

[0096] exist Figure 4 Based on Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the steps of step 400 is shown. In this embodiment, the first preset rule is the Meltrov criterion, and the convergence characteristics include the target probability. If the sum of the maximum temperature values ​​corresponding to the optimized layout is greater than the sum of the initial local optimal temperatures, step 400 of determining and judging whether the convergence characteristics of the optimized layout are less than or equal to the first preset threshold according to the first preset rule includes steps 401 to 403.

[0097] Step 401, calculating the target probability of the optimized layout according to the Meltrov criterion;

[0098] Step 402: determine whether the target probability is less than or equal to a first preset threshold; if not, execute step 403.

[0099] Step 403: take the optimized layout as the new initial local optimum, keep the initial global optimum layout unchanged, and perform the step of determining whether the heat dissipation temperature corresponding to the current initial layout is less than the second preset threshold. If so, perform step 404.

[0100] Step 404: keep the initial local optimal and initial global optimal layouts unchanged, and execute the step of determining whether the heat dissipation temperature corresponding to the current initial layout is less than a second preset threshold.

[0101] In this embodiment, the calculation formula of the Meltrov criterion satisfies:

[0102]

[0103] Among them, p is the target probability value; e is a constant; K is the Boltzmann constant, whose value is 1.386505×10 -23 J / K; T i is the annealing temperature in the i-th iteration, in K / ℃; E i is the internal energy of the solution of the equation in the i-th iteration process, in J; E jis the internal energy in the solution of the j-th iteration process equation, in J.

[0104] In this embodiment, a possible way to determine the convergence characteristics of the optimized layout based on the Meltrov criterion is to first calculate the target probability of the optimized layout through the calculation formula corresponding to the Meltrov criterion. While calculating the target probability, according to the principle of the Meltrov criterion, a probability value is randomly generated in [0,1], that is, the first preset threshold, to compare with the target probability. If the target probability is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, it means that the received probability corresponding to the current optimized layout does not meet the requirements, and it is necessary to continue iterating to obtain a layout that meets the requirements as the final output.

[0105] For example, when the target probability is greater than the first preset threshold, the optimized layout is used as the new initial local optimum, and the initial global optimum layout is kept unchanged. When the target probability is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, the optimized layout is used as the new initial local optimum, and the initial global optimum layout is kept unchanged. Otherwise, the optimized layout is used as the new initial local optimum, and the initial global optimum layout is kept unchanged.

[0106] After determining the heat dissipation characteristics and convergence characteristics corresponding to the optimized layout, a new initial layout will be obtained, that is, the initial local optimal or initial global optimal layout in the initial layout is updated with the address corresponding to the optimized layout. Figure 1 Based on Figure 6 , Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the steps of step 500 is shown. When the heat dissipation temperature includes the annealing temperature, if the convergence characteristic is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, the step of determining whether the heat dissipation temperature corresponding to the current initial local optimum is less than the second preset threshold includes steps 501 to 503.

[0107] Step 501: Determine the annealing temperature corresponding to the current initial local optimum iteration number.

[0108] Step 502: Determine whether the annealing temperature is less than or equal to the minimum cooling temperature. If not, execute step 503. If yes, execute step 504.

[0109] Step 503: keep the current initial local optimum unchanged, and return to the step of determining the optimized layout based on the initial local optimum through the position optimization model until the second preset rule is met to determine the final global optimal layout.

[0110] Step 504: Take the current initial local optimum as the global optimum layout, and determine whether the second preset rule is satisfied to determine the final global optimum layout.

[0111] In this embodiment, as the number of iterations increases, the corresponding annealing temperature will gradually decrease. Generally, the annealing temperature satisfies: T i =T i-1 *ΔT; where T i is the annealing temperature in the i-th iteration; T i-1 is the annealing temperature during the i-1th iteration; ΔT is the temperature drop coefficient, which is usually between 0.95-0.99 and less than 1.

[0112] In a possible implementation, the second preset rule may be to satisfy a preset number of iterations. For example, the step of determining whether the second preset rule is satisfied is:

[0113] It is determined whether the number of iterations in which the same layout result appears is equal to a third preset threshold. If so, the layout corresponding to the same layout result is used as the final global optimal layout.

[0114] Based on this, please continue to refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, the annealing temperature corresponding to the number of iterations of the current initial local optimum is first determined, and then whether the annealing temperature is less than or equal to the minimum cooling temperature Tth. If it is less than or equal to the minimum cooling temperature Tth, the current initial local optimum is regarded as the global optimal layout, and then it is determined whether the second preset rule is met, that is, whether the global optimal layout corresponding to the results of several consecutive iterations does not change, or whether the number of iterations meets the preset value. If it does not meet the second rule, it returns to the step of determining the optimized layout based on the initial local optimum through the position optimization model until the second preset rule is met to obtain the final global optimal layout. If the second preset rule is met, the final global optimal layout is output.

[0115] If the annealing temperature is greater than the lowest cooling temperature Tth, the current initial local optimal layout and the current initial global optimal layout are not changed, and then a determination is made as to whether the second preset rule is satisfied.

[0116] Based on this, this embodiment uses a simulated annealing algorithm to continuously compare the convergence characteristics, heat dissipation characteristics and heat dissipation temperature under address information corresponding to different layouts through an iterative process, find an optimal solution that meets the preset requirements, and then determine the global optimal layout.

Among them, module IPM1, module IPM2, and module IPM3 are high-power half-bridge modules under the fan drive circuit; resistors R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, and R9 are power resistors under the fan drive circuit, respectively.
