Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling fans, in particular to the wiring field of cooling fans, and specifically relates to a fan drive circuit that can be polarity-independent. Background Technique

[0002] A cooling fan is an electrically driven device used to generate an air flow to achieve a cooling effect in a hot environment.

[0003] The cooling fan utilizes the principle of electromagnetic induction and uses a Hall induction component as a synchronous detection device to control the energization sequence of a set of circuit switching windings, generate a rotating magnetic field, and realize a new type of electromechanical integration fan with electronic commutation. After being powered on, a mutual acting force is generated between the magnetic poles of the stator and the rotor, causing the motor to rotate, thereby driving the fan blades to rotate and generate an air flow.

[0004] After retrieval, a patent with the application number CN201710137664.6 discloses a fan drive circuit. The fan drive circuit includes a processing module and a rotational speed signal providing module. The rotational speed signal providing module includes a first diode, a first impedance element, a first switching element, a second switching element, and a third switching element. The second end of the first switching element receives the fan phase signal; the first end of the second switching element is electrically connected to the first end of the first impedance element, the second end of the second switching element is electrically connected to the second end of the first impedance element and the second end of the first diode, and the third end of the second switching element is electrically connected to the first end of the first switching element; the first end of the third switching element is electrically connected to a DC voltage source, and the third end of the third switching element is electrically connected to the first end of the first diode. In the reverse connection state, the first switching element of the rotational speed signal providing module will not be burned out, effectively reducing the damage caused by incorrect wiring during mass production on the production line, and more effectively improving the use safety.

[0005] Current DC cooling fans have positive and negative polarities. When the positive and negative poles are welded reversely, the fan does not work or even gets damaged. When customers need to use the same color, it is necessary to mark both ends of the wire to avoid mistakes. This method has a high cost and is prone to errors, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, we need to propose a fan drive circuit that can be polarity-independent. Content of the Utility Model

When the voltage input terminal IN2 is at a positive voltage and the voltage input terminal IN1 is at 0V, diodes D2 and D3 conduct, and the fan operates normally. In summary, regardless of how the power supply is switched between the voltage input terminals IN1 and IN2, the drive of the fan always maintains a working state from the positive pole to the negative pole, that is, it is not necessary to distinguish the positive and negative poles of the wire, and the fan can operate normally, reducing potential safety hazards, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
