Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to computer power management technology, in particular to a method and system for reducing computer power consumption. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of computer power management, maintaining the constant of CPU supply voltage is the core technical challenge to reduce system power consumption. The existing CPU supply voltage regulation is usually realized by two ways of software dynamic adjustment and hardware adjustment, but the defects of the two ways are: the existing pure software dynamic voltage adjustment (DVS) depends on the scheduling instructions of the operating system level, and the communication delay causes the influence of the dynamic voltage compensation mechanism to lag. The hardware voltage regulation scheme based on mechanical variable resistance or relay switching (such as reed relay voltage division network) can improve the steady-state accuracy, but due to the mechanical action delay and voltage deviation from the constant target value, it causes the instantaneous power consumption to surge. And the existing voltage regulation technology is single execution, which cannot coordinate the sustainability of mechanical mode and the transient compensation ability of electronic regulation, resulting in the inability to coordinate the differentiated voltage constant demand of transient disturbance and steady-state operation, resulting in significant voltage fluctuation and serious energy loss. SUMMARY

[0045] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application.

[0046] Embodiment one

[0047] Please refer to the drawings Figures 1-3 The system for reducing the power consumption of a computer comprises a control module, a monitoring module and a regulating module arranged between the power supply and the CPU.

[0048] The regulating module comprises a persistent regulating module and a transient regulating module connected in parallel; the two ends of the persistent regulating module and the transient regulating module are respectively connected to the CPU and the power supply.

[0049] The persistent regulating module comprises a driving unit, a variable resistance unit, a dynamic connection unit on the variable resistance unit and a protection unit on the side of the variable resistance unit opposite to the driving unit.

[0050] The connecting substrate connects the power supply.

[0051] The variable resistance unit comprises a connecting substrate and a variable resistance part on the connecting substrate.

[0052] The variable resistance part comprises a plurality of unit resistors with different resistance values and insulating plates between adjacent unit resistors; the plurality of unit resistors with different resistance values and the insulating plates are alternately arranged to form the variable resistance part; the unit resistors are linearly or non-linearly distributed in order from large to small or from small to large, and are connected to the connecting substrate; the linear arrangement means that the unit resistors are distributed in an arithmetic sequence, which is suitable for a steady load scenario; the non-linear arrangement means that the unit resistors are distributed in an exponential or logarithmic sequence, which is suitable for a dynamic load mutation scenario.

[0053] The driving unit is connected to the dynamic connection unit, the driving unit and the protection unit are respectively connected to the control module, the driving unit and the protection unit are respectively located at the two ends of the entire variable resistance unit, and the driving unit and the protection unit are respectively located at the sides opposite to the unit resistor with the smallest resistance value and the unit resistor with the largest resistance value in the variable resistance unit.

[0054] The connecting substrate 7 is respectively connected to the unit resistor 5 and the CPU.

[0055] The dynamic connection unit 2 is located on the connection surface formed by the alternately arranged unit resistors 5 of different resistance values and insulating plates 8, and is connected with the CPU through the connection wire 6 and moves along the connection surface to the side with higher or lower resistance value, and through the contact with the unit resistors of different resistance values, the dynamic connection unit slides along the direction of increasing resistance value to cope with the voltage rise, and resets along the direction of decreasing resistance value to cope with the voltage drop. Specifically, when the supply voltage rises, the electromagnetic iron is pushed to generate a magnetic field repulsion with the same pole of the dynamic connection unit, which drives the dynamic connection unit to move to the high resistance unit resistor, and through increasing the series resistance voltage division, the CPU input voltage is reduced; when the supply voltage drops, the memory alloy pull rope contracts due to temperature drop, which pulls the dynamic connection unit to reset to the low resistance unit resistor, and through reducing the series resistance voltage division, the CPU input voltage is increased, so as to maintain the constant input voltage.

[0056] In the embodiment, the different resistance values of the unit resistors 5 are realized by the thickness of each unit resistor, the resistance value of the unit resistor increases linearly with the increase of the thickness, and the height of the insulating plate is determined by the thickness of the two adjacent unit resistors, so as to realize the variable resistance part composed of the alternately arranged unit resistors and insulating plates in the trapezoidal structure. The connection substrate is located at the bottom of the horizontal leg of the trapezoidal structure; the driving unit and the protection unit are respectively located on one side of the upper base and the lower base of the trapezoidal structure; the dynamic connection unit is slidably connected to the inclined surface of the trapezoidal structure, and the dynamic connection unit slides along the inclined surface of the trapezoidal structure, and the moving direction is opposite to the change of the supply voltage (moves to the high resistance end when the voltage rises, and resets to the low resistance end when the voltage drops).

[0057] The driving unit includes a push magnet and a reset unit; the reset unit is located between the push magnet and the dynamic connection unit, and the two ends are respectively connected with the push magnet and the dynamic connection unit.

[0058] The dynamic connection unit is a magnet;

[0059] As shown in Figure 4 The push magnet 9 is an electromagnet connected with the control module, and the current size is positively correlated with the supply voltage: when the supply voltage rises, the control module increases the current of the push magnet 9 to generate a stronger magnetic field repulsion (i.e. the force shown in the horizontal direction), since the magnetic field repulsion is of the same pole with the dynamic connection unit 2, and the dynamic connection unit 2 is slidably connected with the variable resistance part, based on the repulsion of the same pole, the push magnet 9 pushes the connection unit 2 to move along the variable resistance to the high resistance value direction (uphill) through the magnetic field repulsion (i.e. the force shown in the inclined surface in the figure); when the supply voltage drops, the control module reduces the current of the push magnet, and the reset unit 1 pulls the dynamic connection unit 2 to reset to the low resistance value direction (downhill);

[0060] The reset unit 1 is a memory alloy, which deforms according to the size of the supply voltage, specifically: as the output voltage of the power supply increases, and the pulling force of the dynamic connection unit becomes longer; as the output voltage of the power supply decreases, the temperature decreases, and the dynamic connection unit is pulled downhill (towards the unit resistance of the side with the reduced resistance); to compensate for the continuously decreasing output voltage of the power supply;

[0061] In the present application, the dynamic connection unit is driven to move in the direction of high resistance by the magnetic pole repulsion force (the same magnetic pole as the dynamic connection unit) of the push magnet; the reset unit contracts due to the temperature drop when the voltage decreases, pulling the contact to reset in the direction of low resistance, thereby ensuring the constant voltage supplied to the CPU.

[0062] The protection unit includes an insulator 4 and a protection magnet 3;

[0063] The insulator 4 in the protection unit is located on the side of the unit resistance 5 of the variable resistance part facing away from the driving unit, when the monitoring module detects that the output voltage of the power supply exceeds 120% of the rated value, the control module sends a trigger signal to the protection magnet 3, so that the magnetic pole of the protection magnet 3 is opposite to the magnetic pole of the dynamic connection unit 2, realizing the adsorption of the dynamic connection unit 2, cutting off the power supply circuit through the insulator 4, and realizing the power-off protection of the CPU;

[0064] The protection magnet 3 is installed on the top of the insulator, the protection magnet and the dynamic connection unit are located on the same plane, and the magnetic pole of the protection magnet 3 is opposite to the magnetic pole of the push unit;

[0065] The magnetic pole of the dynamic connection unit 2 is opposite to the magnetic pole of the protection magnet, and the same as the magnetic pole of the push unit.

[0066] When the output voltage of the power supply exceeds the safety value, the dynamic connection unit moves into the magnetic attraction range of the protection magnet, and the dynamic connection unit protection magnet is magnetically connected, at this time, the dynamic connection unit is connected with the power supply through the insulator at the bottom of the protection magnet, and is not connected with the CPU, thereby realizing the power-off protection of the CPU.

[0067] In the present embodiment, the protection magnet and the push magnet are respectively located at the highest point and the lowest point of the inclined plane of the right-angled trapezoidal structure, which avoids the dynamic connection unit from falling off the variable resistance part under the premise of realizing their respective functions.

[0068] The instantaneous adjustment module is an LLC resonant compensation module.

[0069] The equivalent value of the resonant inductance Lr in the LLC resonant compensation module is dynamically adjusted by a magnetic core adjustable inductor. The control module adjusts the switching frequency (range: 50 kHz-500 kHz) in real time according to the CPU temperature and current fluctuation signals collected by the monitoring module, and suppresses voltage transient fluctuations (response time ≤1 μs);

[0070] In the embodiment, the connecting substrate is made of high-thermal-conductivity copper alloy;

[0071] The dynamic connection unit is provided with gold-plated conductive contacts, and the surfaces of the contacts are coated with graphene coating to reduce friction loss. The push electromagnet is connected with the control module, and drives the dynamic connection unit to slide along the variable resistance part by generating magnetic field force (such as electromagnetic attraction or repulsion);

[0072] The unit resistance is made of carbon film material, and the thickness is adjusted by laser etching process, and the resistance value increases linearly with the increase of the thickness;

[0073] The current of the push magnet is positively correlated with the supply voltage.

[0074] The reset unit is a nickel-titanium alloy memory pull rope, and the two ends are connected with the push electromagnet and the dynamic connection unit respectively. When the supply voltage decreases, the control module reduces the current of the push electromagnet, the memory pull rope shrinks due to temperature drop, and pulls the dynamic connection unit to reset to the low resistance direction of the variable resistance part, thereby reducing the series resistance to improve the CPU input voltage.

[0075] Embodiment two

[0076] A method for reducing computer power consumption, characterized in that a system for reducing computer power consumption according to any one of claims 1-6 is used, comprising the following steps:

[0077] S1: The monitoring module collects the output voltage, CPU temperature and current data of the power supply in real time;

[0078] S2: The control module determines the control decision according to the voltage fluctuation value, and selects the corresponding control module according to the control decision;

[0079] S3, the selected control module is adjusted to maintain the stability and safety of the CPU supply voltage;

[0080] The control decision includes:

[0081] If the fluctuation value exceeds the threshold range, the transient adjustment module is started to compensate for transient voltage;

[0082] If the fluctuation value is within the threshold range, the continuous adjustment module is started to adjust the output voltage by adjusting the resistance.

[0083] Further, the transient voltage compensation is realized by the LLC resonance compensation circuit, and the specific implementation process is:

[0084] The equivalent inductance value (Lr) of the LLC resonance compensation circuit is dynamically bound with the preset CPU temperature threshold and the load current of the CPU;

[0085] The equivalent inductance value (Lr) of the LLC resonance compensation circuit is dynamically associated with the CPU temperature (T) and the load current (I), and specifically satisfies:

[0086] Wherein, k is a preset proportion coefficient;

[0087] When the temperature or load is suddenly changed, the resonance frequency is adaptively changed to suppress the transient voltage surge.

[0088] Wherein, when the CPU temperature or load exceeds the safety threshold, the LLC resonance compensation circuit synchronously triggers the protection unit to cut off the power supply, the control module is forced to switch to the mechanical contact resistance adjustment mode, and the hard power-off is realized by the dynamic contact and the protection magnet adsorption.

[0089] The specific process is:

[0090] In this embodiment, the CPU temperature is collected by a high-precision thermistor, and the load current of the CPU is collected by a high-precision current sampling resistor in series with the CPU power supply line.

[0091] A high-precision thermistor (specifically an NTC negative temperature coefficient thermistor) is closely attached near the CPU core, and a voltage dividing circuit is constructed by using the characteristic that the resistance value of the thermistor changes with temperature. The analog voltage signal after voltage division is connected to the ADC pin of the control module, and is converted to digital quantity by ADC, and then the digital quantity is converted to the corresponding temperature value T according to the characteristic curve and calibration parameters of the thermistor. In order to improve the accuracy and stability of temperature collection, the method of multiple sampling and averaging is adopted, and the collected data is filtered to remove high-frequency noise interference.

[0092] A high-precision current sampling resistor (specifically a constantan wire resistor) is connected in series with the power supply line of the CPU, and the current signal is collected by using the relationship that the voltage drop across the resistor is proportional to the current passing through. After the voltage difference across the sampling resistor is amplified by an instrument amplifier, it is connected to the ADC pin of the control module for digital conversion. Similarly, the collected current data is processed by multiple sampling and averaging and filtering to obtain the accurate effective value I of the supply current.

[0093] After the control module is powered on, the internal registers, ADC sampling parameters and proportion coefficient k are initialized and set to ensure that the system is in a stable initial state.

[0094] The control module initiates the ADC to sample the temperature and current signals at fixed time intervals, obtains the latest T and I values, and updates them to the internal data storage area.

[0095] According to the collected T and I values, substitute them into the formula , to calculate the equivalent inductance value Lr required by the LLC resonance compensation circuit under the current working condition.

[0096] The control module generates the corresponding PWM (pulse width modulation) control signal according to the calculated Lr value, adjusts the on and off time of the switch tube in the LLC resonance compensation circuit through the drive circuit, thereby changing the equivalent inductance of the circuit, and realizes the dynamic adjustment of the resonance parameters.

[0097] Real-time monitoring of the working state of the CPU and the stability of the power supply voltage, if the power supply is found to be abnormal (such as voltage fluctuation exceeding the allowed range), the proportional coefficient k is fine-tuned, the Lr value is recalculated and the control signal is adjusted to optimize the compensation effect of the system. At the same time, the system operation data (such as temperature, current, Lr value, etc.) are uploaded to the monitoring terminal, so that the user can master the equipment operation status in real time.

[0098] Through the implementation of the above temperature and current correlation algorithm, the control module can realize precise control of the LLC resonance compensation circuit, effectively improve the adaptability and stability of the system under different working conditions, and ensure the reliable operation of the CPU.

[0099] Further, the control module determines the control decision according to the voltage fluctuation value, and the specific implementation process is as follows:

[0100] The control module selects the adjustment mode based on the weighted value W = a·AV + b·At of the voltage fluctuation amplitude (AV) and the duration (At):

[0101] If W > Wth (threshold value), start the transient adjustment module;

[0102] If W ≤ Wth (threshold value), start the persistent adjustment module.

[0103] In this application, the intelligent module intelligently judges the adjustment mode through the weighted value W = a·AV + b·At: when the voltage fluctuation amplitude AV or the duration At exceeds the threshold Wth (such as sudden transient disturbance), the LLC resonance compensation circuit is preferentially enabled for transient response; when the fluctuation is in the steady state range, switch to the persistent adjustment module to realize low-power precise control through mechanical resistance adjustment. This mechanism avoids the limitations of a single mode under complex working conditions, dynamically balances the system between "fast response" and "energy efficiency optimization", and improves the energy efficiency compared with the traditional single adjustment scheme;

[0104] And according to the real-time acquisition of CPU core temperature and load current, the voltage fluctuation threshold range is dynamically adjusted. For example: under high temperature working condition, the threshold is automatically tightened (Wth is reduced), and the protection mechanism is triggered in advance; when the load is light and the temperature is low, the threshold is relaxed, and the switching frequency of the adjustment module is reduced to reduce the loss.
