[0002] A fan is a machine that uses input mechanical energy to increase gas pressure and discharge gas; it is a type of driven fluid machinery. Fan speed regulation refers to controlling parameters such as air volume, air pressure, power, and noise by changing the fan's rotational speed, thereby achieving optimal operating conditions.

[0035] The input 220-240V voltage enters the circuit through rectifier diode D3 to provide a high-voltage DC power supply, and capacitor C8 is used for filtering to stabilize the power supply voltage.
[0036] Transformer T1 is used to reduce the input voltage. Its primary winding is connected to a high-voltage DC power supply, while its secondary winding outputs a lower AC voltage. Diodes D14 and D4 are rectifier diodes that convert AC to DC. Power chip U2 can regulate the input voltage to the required output voltage. Voltage regulator chips U5 and U6 are used to provide stable 5V and 15V outputs, respectively.
[0037] The main control circuit adjusts the fan speed by outputting a PWM signal;

[0039] Pin 12 of the main control chip U1 provides 5V power to power the main control circuit. Pins 8, 9, 10, and 11 of the main control chip U1 are typically used for analog input or digital output and can be connected to sensors or other components.

[0040] A PWM speed control circuit used to receive PWM signals and adjust the current or voltage output to the fan according to the duty cycle of the PWM signals.
[0041] The PWM speed control circuit includes a transistor Q2. A resistor R12 and a capacitor C2 are connected in parallel between the base and emitter of the transistor Q2. A resistor R4 is connected to the base of the transistor Q2. One end of the resistor R4 is connected to pin 43 of the voltage regulator chip U5.
[0042] Transistor Q2 acts as a switching element, controlling the switching state of the load. It regulates the current between the collector (C) and emitter (E) by controlling the base (B) current. Resistors R4 and R12 are connected between the base pin and the input signal (A), limiting the base current to protect the transistor and ensure its normal operation. Capacitor C2 is used for filtering and coupling, forming an RC time constant circuit with resistor R12.

[0045] A 15V power supply provides high-voltage power to the fan, and MOSFET Q3 acts as a switching element to control the fan's on / off state. When a signal is applied to the gate (G), the MOSFET turns on, allowing current to flow through the fan and turning it on; when the signal is low, the MOSFET turns off, and the fan stops working.
[0046] Resistor R25 pulls the input signal from the device to ensure the normal operation of MOSFET Q3. Resistor R26 works with the gate to set the threshold, helping to control the MOSFET's on and off states. Diode D4 prevents reverse current and protects the circuit. Transistor D2 enables fast switching, ensuring that the signal is not damaged by reverse current. Inductor L10 reduces current fluctuations during switching, protecting the fan and other components.
[0047] When the input signal B is high, the MOSFET (Q3) is turned on, allowing current from the 15V power supply to flow into the fan (M1), and the fan starts. When the signal B is low, the MOSFET is turned off, and the fan stops working. Resistors R25 and R26 work together on the gate of the MOSFET to control its turn-on sensitivity, thereby ensuring continuous and reliable control of the fan operation.
