[0018] See also Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a fan motor feedback system based on an external magnetic sensor, comprising a temperature acquisition module, a control system 1, and an external magnetic sensor 2. The temperature acquisition module is communicatively connected to the control system 1 and is disposed in the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. The temperature acquisition module is used to acquire temperature information of the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment and transmit it to the control system 1. The control system 1 outputs a speed adjustment instruction for the fan motor 5 based on the temperature information. The external magnetic sensor 2 is disposed within the wireframe of the fan motor 5. The external magnetic sensor 2 is used to capture the magnetic field change signal of the fan motor 5 and convert it into an electrical signal and transmit it to the control system 1. The control system 1 analyzes the electrical signal emitted by the external magnetic sensor 2 to determine the difference between the speed of the fan motor 5 and the set value.

[0019] The external magnetic sensor 2 is responsible for detecting the change in the magnetic field of the fan motor 5 , which is the basis for inferring key information such as the rotation speed and position of the fan motor 5 .

[0020] The fan motor 5 is the object to be controlled, and its rotation speed and position information are detected by the external magnetic sensor 2 .

[0021] Control system 1 receives the electrical signal information from external magnetic sensor 2 and performs further analysis and decision-making to achieve precise control of fan motor 5. Control system 1 has a built-in signal processing circuit 11 responsible for processing the electrical signal output by external magnetic sensor 2 and extracting useful information such as speed and position.

[0022] Specifically, the temperature acquisition module includes a refrigeration temperature sensor 3 and a freezing temperature sensor 4. The refrigeration temperature sensor 3 is arranged in the refrigerator's refrigerator compartment, and the refrigeration temperature sensor 3 collects the real-time temperature of the refrigerator's refrigerator compartment. The freezing temperature sensor 4 is arranged in the refrigerator's freezer compartment, and the freezing temperature sensor 4 collects the real-time temperature of the refrigerator's freezer compartment.

[0023] When the fan motor 5 operates, the magnetic field it generates changes. The external magnetic sensor 2 detects these changes and converts them into electrical signals. The control system 1's built-in signal processing circuit 11 processes these electrical signals, extracting key information such as the fan motor 5's speed and position. Based on this information, the control system 1 monitors the fan motor 5's operating status in real time and provides feedback control. If the fan motor 5's speed deviates from the preset value, the control system 1 adjusts the input voltage or current to correct the deviation.

[0024] The fan motor feedback system based on an external magnetic sensor provided by the utility model has the following advantages:

[0025] High precision: The external magnetic sensor 2 has high measurement accuracy and sensitivity, and can accurately reflect the operating status of the fan motor 5 in real time. The external magnetic sensor 2 can be a switch Hall sensor or a TMR sensor.

[0026] Real-time feedback: The system can detect the speed and position information of the fan motor 5 in real time and perform feedback control immediately, thereby reducing the speed error.

[0027] Good stability: The external magnetic sensor 2 is not easily affected by external environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity, etc., so the system has good stability.

[0028] The introduction of a fan motor 5 feedback system based on an external magnetic sensor 2 significantly improves the control accuracy of the refrigerator's fan motor 5. Through real-time feedback and precise control, the fan motor 5's speed error can be reduced, facilitating precise control of the refrigerator's temperature. This not only improves the refrigerator's cooling efficiency, but also reduces energy consumption and noise, enhancing the user experience.

[0029] The fan motor feedback system works as follows:

[0030] The system is started, and the refrigeration temperature sensor 3 and the freezing temperature sensor 4 collect the temperature of the refrigeration compartment and the freezing compartment respectively.

[0031] The control system 1 determines the initial operating gear of the fan motor 5, outputs a fan speed adjustment instruction (set value) according to the temperature of the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment, and uses PWM to control the speed.

[0032] The fan motor 5 receives the speed adjustment instruction electrical signal, processes and analyzes it, and then the fan motor 5 starts working.

[0033] The change in the speed of the fan motor 5 causes a change in the magnetic field. The external magnetic sensor 2 captures the change in the magnetic signal and converts it into an electrical signal.

[0034] The signal processing system of control system 1 analyzes the electrical signal emitted by external magnetic sensor 2 and determines the difference from the set value. If the difference is lower than the set value, control system 1 increases the duty cycle (PWM control) and increases the speed until the signal captured by external magnetic sensor 2 meets the set value. If the difference is higher than the set value, control system 1 decreases the duty cycle (PWM control) and reduces the speed until the signal captured by external magnetic sensor 2 meets the set value.

[0035] The fan motor 5 feedback system continuously monitors the fan motor 5 according to the above steps to achieve the purpose of accurately adjusting the speed of the fan motor 5.

[0036] The above detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention should not be considered as limiting the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the present invention.
