[0002] The function of the cooling fan in an electric vehicle charging pile is to quickly dissipate the heat inside the charging pile to keep the temperature inside the charging pile stable and ensure that the charging pile can work normally.

However, traditional speed regulation control devices are usually designed for specific types of fans and cannot achieve universal control of different types of fans. Therefore, developing a speed regulation control device that can be applied to AC and DC fans and achieve universal control is an urgent need in the current technical field.

[0010] The DC fan drive module is used to receive the PWM signal sent by the microcontroller and control the speed of the DC fan.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the speed of the AC fan is controlled by changing the terminal voltage of the fan; the DC fan has a PWM speed control signal control line, and its speed is changed by changing the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The temperature sampling module measures the ambient temperature and provides the microcontroller with the parameter basis for adjusting the fan speed. The AC synchronization module processes the AC sine wave into a square wave signal of the same frequency and inputs it into the microcontroller to provide a reference signal for the AC fan drive module. The microcontroller generates a phase-shifted trigger signal according to the synchronization signal and the sampled temperature value and inputs it into the AC fan drive module to change the voltage value of the AC fan, thereby controlling the speed of the AC fan.
