[0039] It should be noted that the temperature control method, temperature control system, device, electronic device, medium and product of the present application can be used in the server field, and can also be used in any field other than the server. The application field of the temperature control method, temperature control system, device, electronic device, medium and product of the present application is not limited.

[0040] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an application scenario of a temperature control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is given as an example in combination with the illustrated scenario: a network card and a temperature control system are connected to a server motherboard, the network card is used to provide network services to the server, and the temperature control system is used to control the temperature of the network card.

[0041] Optionally, the network card of the present application is a high-performance network card (hereinafter referred to as the network card).

[0042] Optionally, the high-performance network card may be a server network interface card (Open Compute Project, referred to as OCP network card), etc. The high-performance network card supports a high-speed network interface and can meet the server's network requirements for high bandwidth and low latency.

[0043] For example, a high-performance network card provides a high-performance network, but has the problem of high energy consumption, which leads to increased heat generation. The temperature control system is used to perform targeted temperature control on the network card to prevent the server from malfunctioning due to excessive temperature of the network card.

[0044] In related technologies, the motherboard monitors and supplies power to the temperature control system. When the temperature control system is powered on, the network card fan of the temperature control system runs at full speed to control the temperature of the network card. In some scenarios, when the server is running at low load, the energy consumption and heat generation of the network card are low. At this time, running the network card fan at full speed will waste energy.

[0045] The temperature control method provided in this application is intended to solve the above technical problems in the prior art.

[0046] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0047] Figure 2 A flow chart of a temperature control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method comprising the following steps:

[0048] S201, determining the working status of the mainboard, the network card in-place status of the network card on the mainboard, and the current temperature of the temperature control chip.

[0049] Among them, the temperature control system includes a temperature control chip and a network card fan.

[0050] Optionally, the working state of the mainboard includes but is not limited to S0 running state and S5 soft shutdown state.

[0051] For example, in the running state, multiple components on the motherboard and multiple components in the server are in operation. At this time, other heat dissipation devices in the server can control the temperature of the network card, and the network card fan does not need to run at full speed. In the soft shutdown state, the main components on the motherboard and the main components in the server are in a stopped state, and other heat dissipation devices also stop working. Only some low-power devices or functions are running, such as power management circuits or real-time clocks.

[0052] Exemplarily, the network card in-place status is used to indicate whether the network card is correctly installed on the mainboard.

[0053] Optionally, the mainboard determines the network card presence status through a device manager or an interface level connected to the network card, and sends the network card presence status to the temperature control system.

[0054] Exemplarily, the current temperature of the temperature control chip is determined by a temperature sensor of the temperature control system.

[0055] Optionally, the working status, the network card in-place status, and the current temperature are status information obtained in real time.

[0056] S202: Determine a temperature control strategy according to the working status, the network card status, and the current temperature.

[0057] Exemplarily, the temperature control policy is used to currently instruct the network card fan to operate at a certain speed.

[0058] Combined with the scenario example, by obtaining multiple status information in real time, it is possible to flexibly determine the temperature control strategy that is suitable for the current situation based on multiple dimensions.

[0059] S203: Execute a temperature control strategy on the network card fan to achieve temperature control of the network card.

[0060] Optionally, a corresponding control signal is determined according to the temperature control strategy, and a control signal is dynamically sent to the network card fan to achieve real-time control of the rotation speed of the network card fan, thereby achieving temperature control of the network card.

[0061] Optionally, the control signal may be a pulse width modulation (PWM) duty cycle. PWM duty cycle is a technique for controlling output power by changing the duty cycle of a signal. The duty cycle refers to the ratio of the time that a signal is at a high level to the total cycle time within a PWM cycle.

[0062] The temperature control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a temperature control system, the temperature control system includes a temperature control chip and a network card fan, and the method includes: determining the working state of the mainboard, the network card in-place state of the network card on the mainboard, and the current temperature of the temperature control chip; determining the temperature control strategy according to the working state, the network card in-place state, and the current temperature; executing the temperature control strategy on the network card fan to achieve temperature control of the network card. The above scheme determines the corresponding temperature control strategy through the real-time state of the mainboard and the real-time state of the temperature control system. Compared with the full speed operation of the network card fan, it can effectively reduce energy consumption while achieving temperature control.

[0063] Based on any of the above embodiments, Figure 3 , the detailed process of temperature control is explained.

[0064] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a temperature control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0065] S301, determining the working status of the mainboard, the network card in-place status of the network card on the mainboard, and the current temperature of the temperature control chip.

[0066] It should be noted that the execution process of S301 refers to S201 and will not be repeated here.

[0067] S302: If the working state is the running state, determine that the temperature control strategy is that the network card fan is not working.

[0068] Optionally, the server includes a fan board, and the fan board is used to control the temperature of the entire interior of the server, that is, the fan board cools down all devices inside the server so that the server can work normally.

[0069] Combined with the scenario example, if the working status is running, it means that the server is working normally. At this time, the devices in the server are in running state, including the fan board. The temperature control system can be controlled by the fan board. The temperature control policy is set as the network card fan is not working, which can effectively reduce energy consumption while ensuring the normal temperature of the network card.

[0070] S303: If the working state is the soft shutdown state, determine the controller in-place state of the controller on the mainboard, and determine the temperature control strategy according to the controller in-place state, the network card in-place state, and the current temperature.

[0071] Optionally, the controller may be a baseboard management controller (BMC), which may be used to monitor and manage the status of server hardware. In the present application, the BMC may be used to generate a temperature control strategy.

[0072] Combined with the scenario example, if the working state is soft shutdown, it means that the main components in the server are in a stopped state. At this time, the fan board is not working, and the temperature of the network card needs to be controlled by the temperature control system.

[0073] Based on the above implementation methods, the rotation speed of the network card fan can be flexibly controlled according to the working state, which can effectively reduce energy consumption compared to the network card fan working at full speed.

[0074] A feasible implementation method can determine the temperature control strategy by the following method: if the controller in-place state is in-place and the network card in-place state is in-place, then receive the temperature control strategy from the controller; if the controller in-place state is not in-place and the network card in-place state is in-place, then determine the fan in-place state of the network card fan on the temperature control system, and determine the temperature control strategy based on the current temperature and the fan in-place state, and the fan in-place state is in-place or not in-place.

[0075] The controller in-place status is in-place or not in-place, and the network card in-place status is in-place or not in-place.

[0076] Exemplarily, in place means that the device is correctly installed at the corresponding position, and not in place means that the device is not correctly installed at the corresponding position.

[0077] Optionally, the presence status is detected by a micro switch, a photoelectric sensor, an electrical contact, or a device manager.

[0078] For example, a micro switch is installed on the device, and the micro switch is triggered when the device is correctly installed. When the device is correctly installed, it blocks light, so that it can be accurately identified by the photoelectric sensor. Metal contacts are designed on the device. When the device is correctly installed in the interface, the metal contacts of the device contact the metal contacts of the interface, forming a closed circuit, thereby determining whether the device is in place. The status of the device is checked through the device manager to determine whether the device is correctly installed.

[0079] For example, if the controller in-place state is in-place, it means that the controller can currently generate a temperature control strategy, and if the network card in-place state is in-place, it means that the current network card may generate heat and needs temperature control. If the controller in-place state is in-place and the network card in-place state is in-place, the temperature control system does not need to generate a temperature control strategy, but only needs to execute the temperature control strategy generated by the controller, so as to control the temperature of the network card when the fan board is not working.

[0080] For example, if the controller is not in place and the network card is in place, the controller cannot generate a temperature control policy or the generated temperature control policy cannot be sent to the temperature control system. At this time, the temperature control system generates and executes the temperature control policy. The temperature control system determines the temperature control policy based on multiple dimensions.

[0081] Next, combine Figure 4 Determining the temperature control strategy is described.

[0082] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of determining a temperature control strategy provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, if the server is in operation, the fan board of the server performs temperature control. If the server is not in soft shutdown state, for example, it is in power-off state, temperature control does not need to be performed. If the network card and the network card fan are both in place, determine whether the controller is in place. If the controller is not in place, the temperature control policy is generated by the temperature control system. If the controller is in place, the temperature control policy is generated by the temperature control system and executed. Monitor whether the controller is hung in real time. If it is hung, switch to generating the temperature control policy through the temperature control system.

[0083] In this feasible implementation, the controller status and the network card status are integrated to flexibly determine the temperature control strategy according to the current scenario, thereby effectively reducing energy consumption.

[0084] In a feasible implementation, the temperature control strategy can be determined by the following method: determine the current pulse width modulation (PWM) duty cycle, the first temperature threshold, and the second temperature threshold of the network card fan, where the first temperature threshold is greater than the second temperature threshold; if the current temperature is greater than the first temperature threshold, determine the temperature control strategy to adjust the current PWM duty cycle to the first PWM duty cycle, where the first PWM duty cycle is greater than the current PWM duty cycle; if the current temperature is less than the second temperature threshold, determine the temperature control strategy to adjust the current PWM duty cycle to the second PWM duty cycle, where the second PWM duty cycle is less than the current PWM duty cycle.

[0085] The fan in-place state is in-place.

[0086] Combined with the scenario example, by verifying the fan status, you can check whether the current network card fan is working normally. Based on this, temperature control can improve the reliability of temperature control.

[0087] Exemplarily, the current PWM duty cycle determines the current network card fan speed.

[0088] Exemplarily, the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold are used to control the temperature range of the network card. When the temperature is between the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold, it is considered that the network card can work normally.

[0089] Optionally, the current temperature may be the real-time temperature of a temperature control chip, the real-time temperature of a server, or the real-time temperature of a network card.

[0090] Optionally, the current temperature is obtained through a temperature sensor.

[0091] Next, combine Figure 5 Determination of the PWM duty ratio will be described.

[0092] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of determining PWM duty cycle provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, read the current temperature. If the current temperature is greater than the first temperature threshold, it means that the operating temperature of the network card is too high and there may be risks. Then, increase the PWM duty cycle to increase the speed of the network card fan, so as to cool the network card. If the current temperature is less than the first temperature threshold, it means that there is no risk in the operating temperature of the network card, but the speed of the network card fan is too high, resulting in unnecessary energy consumption. Reducing the PWM duty cycle can effectively reduce energy consumption. The current temperature is between the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold by dynamically adjusting the PWM duty cycle.

[0093] In this feasible implementation, the temperature control strategy is adjusted in real time according to the current temperature, which can effectively reduce energy consumption while ensuring the normal operation of the network card.

[0094] S304: Execute a temperature control strategy on the network card fan to achieve temperature control of the network card.

[0095] It should be noted that the execution process of S304 refers to S203 and will not be repeated here.

[0096] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a temperature control system provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the temperature control system may include: a temperature control chip 1, a network card fan 2, a temperature sensor 3, and a presence detector 4, wherein:

[0097] The temperature sensor 3 is connected to the temperature control chip 1, and the temperature sensor 3 is used to determine the current temperature of the temperature control chip 1 and send the current temperature to the temperature control chip 1;

[0098] The in-position detector 4 is connected to the network card fan 2, and the in-position detector 4 is used to detect the fan in-position state of the network card fan 2 on the temperature control system;

[0099] The temperature control chip 1 is connected to the high-speed peripheral component interconnection expansion PCIE interface of the mainboard through an expansion card, and the temperature control chip 1 is connected to the network card fan 2. The temperature control chip 1 is used to execute a temperature control strategy for the network card fan 2.

[0100] Exemplary, reference Figure 6 The temperature control chip 1 obtains the current speed of the network card fan 2, and the temperature control chip 1 controls the speed of the network card fan 2 through the PWM duty cycle. The in-place detector 4 obtains the in-place status of the network card fan 2. When the network card fan 2 is in place, power is supplied to the network card fan 2 through the in-place detector 4.

[0101] Optionally, the temperature control system is connected to the expansion card via an Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C), and the expansion card is connected to a PCIE interface of the mainboard via the I2C.

[0102] In the related art, the motherboard provides a 1*6PIN connector for monitoring and powering the external network card fan. The signal of this connector is monitored by a complex programmable logic device (CPLD). The connector has the problem of complicated structural design. Due to the variety of network card fans, the connector also has structural compatibility issues.

[0103] Exemplarily, the PCIE interface has good compatibility and can be compatible with different types of temperature control systems.

[0104] Combined with the scenario example, by using a temperature control system based on the PCIE interface, the motherboard layout and wiring space is effectively saved, and there is no need to specially design a fixture to fix the network card fan, which greatly reduces the complexity of structural design and the tediousness of manual installation and disassembly, and realizes flexible matching of the cooling needs and server configuration requirements of different network card types.

[0105] Based on the above implementation methods, the present application designs a temperature control system based on the PCIE interface, which structurally improves the flexibility and compatibility of the whole machine assembly.

[0106] A feasible implementation method is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 The temperature control system is a schematic diagram of a temperature control system provided in an embodiment of the present application. The temperature control system also includes a programmable memory 5, wherein:

[0107] The in-place detector 4 is connected to the PCIE interface of the mainboard through the expansion card. The in-place detector 4 is used to receive the power supply of the mainboard and determine whether to supply power to the network card fan 2 according to the fan in-place status;

[0108] A first end of the programmable memory 5 is connected to the in-place detector 4 , and a second end of the programmable memory 5 is connected to the network card fan 2 . The programmable memory 5 is used to store power supply information, and the power supply information is used to supply power to the network card fan 2 .

[0109] Exemplarily, the presence detector 4 determines whether to supply power to the network card fan 2 according to the fan presence status. The programmable memory 5 determines specific parameters of the power supply, such as voltage value or current value, according to a preset rule.

[0110] Based on the above implementation, the power supply parameters stored in the programmable memory 5 can be used to dynamically adjust the power supply to the network card fan, thereby ensuring that the best cooling effect can be obtained under different load and temperature conditions.

[0111] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a temperature control device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the temperature control device 80 may include: a determination module 81, a strategy module 82 and an execution module 83, wherein:

[0112] The determination module 81 is used to determine the working state of the mainboard, the network card in-place state of the network card on the mainboard, and the current temperature of the temperature control chip.
