[0021] To further illustrate each embodiment, the present invention provides drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention, which are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, ordinary technicians in this field should be able to understand other possible implementations and advantages of the present invention.

[0022] The utility model is now further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the utility model provides a blower circuit of a vehicle air conditioner, which is composed of a half-bridge drive circuit 4, a blower module 3, an AD feedback circuit 2, an electronic controller 1, etc.

[0024] The blower module consists of a blower motor M1, a relay RLY1 and a MOS tube Q1.

[0025] The blower motor of the car air conditioner is a DC motor and adopts unidirectional control. MOS tube Q1 and relay RLY1 are connected in series in the main circuit of the blower motor M1. The relay RLY1 controls the on and off of the main circuit of the blower motor M1, and the MOS tube Q1 performs PWM modulation on the drive signal of the blower motor to control the speed of the blower.

[0026] Specifically, the gate of the MOS tube Q1 is connected to the output end of the half-bridge driving circuit 4; the source is grounded by grounding, and the drain is connected to the first driving end of the blower motor M1; the second driving end of the blower motor M1 is connected to the common terminal contact of the relay RLY1, and the normally open contact of the relay RLY1 is connected to the power supply KL30. One end of the driving coil of the relay RLY1 is connected to the power supply KL30, and the other end is connected to the electronic controller 1, and is controlled by the electronic controller 1, or grounded by an electronic switch to achieve manual control.

[0027] The use of an integrated half-bridge driver chip can simplify circuit design and ensure the reliability and stability of the DC motor drive circuit.

[0028] In this embodiment, the half-bridge drive circuit mainly includes an H-bridge drive chip MPQ6614. MPQ6614 is a dedicated DC motor drive chip. Since the blower of the car air conditioner only uses unidirectional control, only a set of upper and lower bridge arms of the H-bridge drive chip MPQ6614 are used to form a half-bridge drive circuit.

[0029] The electronic controller 1 generates a PWM signal to the half-bridge driver chip, which drives the MOS tube Q1 in the blower module 3 to form a PWM drive signal to control the speed of the blower motor M1. The half-bridge driver chip has a strong driving capability, which can enhance the air intake effect in the car and make the car cool down faster.

[0030] The first driving end of the blower motor M1 is connected to the input end of the AD feedback circuit 2, and the output end of the AD feedback circuit 2 is connected to the electronic controller 1. The AD feedback circuit 2 converts the PWM driving signal of the blower motor M1 into a stable voltage signal for the electronic controller 1 to diagnose.

[0031] In this embodiment, the AD feedback circuit 2 is composed of a series-connected voltage stabilizing circuit 21, an RC filter circuit 22, and an op amp shaping circuit 23. Among them, resistors R202, R203 and a voltage stabilizing tube ZD1 form the voltage stabilizing circuit 21; resistors R204, R205, capacitors C203, C204 form a two-stage RC filter circuit 22; and op amp units U2A, U2B, resistors R206, R207, R208, R209, R210 and capacitor C205 form the op amp shaping circuit 23.

[0032] The AD feedback loop 2 uses a voltage regulator ZD1 to absorb the PWM pulse spike, and then performs two-stage RC filtering and shaping. Finally, after being shaped by an operational amplifier, a stable voltage can be output for the electronic controller 1 to make a diagnosis, thereby realizing reliable control of the blower drive.

[0033] In a specific application, the electronic controller 1 is usually a central controller of the vehicle. The blower circuit of the vehicle air conditioner is directly controlled by the central controller.

[0034] Although the present invention has been specifically demonstrated and described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes may be made to the present invention in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, all of which are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
