The voltage increase method can be a linear equal value increase, which increases gradually. When the judgment unit does not transmit a signal, the control unit directly withdraws the previously increased voltage value control, so that the output voltage value returns to the initial value, thereby realizing continuous monitoring of the upper and lower bridge temperatures of the IGBT body 1, and adjusting the wind speed of the micro fan 6 according to the different temperatures.
