Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, this embodiment of the present invention provides an anti-interference signal processing circuit, including a reverse connection protection unit 1 for the acquired signal, an input filtering unit 2 for the acquired signal, a comparator unit 3, a voltage divider unit 4, and a signal output filtering unit 5. The reverse connection protection unit 1 is used to protect the acquired PWM signal from reverse voltage. The input filtering unit 2 is used to filter the acquired PWM signal. The comparator unit 3 is used to perform voltage comparison processing and output the acquired PWM signal. The voltage divider unit 4 is used to adjust the comparison voltage of the comparator unit 3. The signal output filtering unit 5 is used to filter the PWM signal output by the comparator unit 3.

[0028] The reverse connection protection unit 1 for acquiring signals is used to protect the acquired PWM signal from reverse voltage. Specifically, it includes diode D1. In the actual circuit connection, the anode of diode D1 is connected to the input terminal of the PWM signal, and the cathode of diode D1 is connected to the acquisition signal input filter unit 2. Its working principle utilizes the unidirectional conductivity of the diode. When the PWM signal is normally connected, current flows from the anode to the cathode of diode D1, the diode conducts, and the PWM signal can smoothly pass through to the subsequent circuit. If the PWM signal is reversed, the cathode potential of the diode is higher than the anode potential, the diode is cut off, preventing reverse current from flowing, thus protecting the subsequent circuit components from damage by reverse voltage. For example, in a fan control system, the PWM signal is used to control the fan speed. If the PWM signal input line is reversed during installation or use, diode D1 can effectively prevent damage to the entire signal processing circuit caused by reverse voltage.

[0029] The signal input filtering unit 2 is used to filter the acquired PWM signal. It includes a resistor R1 and a capacitor C1 connected in series. Capacitor C1 is grounded, one end of resistor R1 is connected to the cathode of diode D1, and the midpoint between resistor R1 and capacitor C1 is connected to the inverting input of the comparator. This signal input filtering unit 2 constitutes an RC low-pass filter circuit. Its working principle is as follows: when the PWM signal is input, because capacitor C1 has low capacitive reactance for high-frequency signals, high-frequency interference signals can more easily flow to ground through capacitor C1, while low-frequency PWM signals can smoothly reach the inverting input of the comparator through resistor R1. For example, assuming the PWM signal frequency is 100Hz, and there is a 10kHz high-frequency interference signal in the circuit, the 10kHz high-frequency interference signal will be significantly attenuated by this RC low-pass filter circuit, while the 100Hz PWM signal can be transmitted to the subsequent circuit with almost no loss, thereby effectively filtering out high-frequency interference in the PWM signal and improving signal quality.

[0030] Voltage divider unit 4 is used to adjust the comparison voltage of comparator unit 3. Specifically, it includes resistors R2 and R3 connected in series between the power supply voltage and ground. The midpoint of resistors R2 and R3 is connected to the non-inverting input of the comparator to provide a reference voltage. According to the principle of resistor voltage divider, the reference voltage is the power supply voltage. For example, when the power supply voltage is 5V, resistor R2 is 10kΩ, and resistor R3 is 10kΩ, the reference voltage Vref = 5 × 10 + 1010 = 2.5V. By adjusting the resistance ratio of resistors R2 and R3, the reference voltage value provided to the non-inverting input of the comparator can be flexibly changed to adapt to different PWM signal processing requirements. For example, in different application scenarios, the amplitude range of the PWM signal may be different. By adjusting the resistance values ​​of the voltage divider resistors, the reference voltage of the comparator can be matched to this range, thereby achieving accurate voltage comparison.

[0031] Comparator unit 3 is used to perform voltage comparison processing and output of the acquired PWM signal. This unit includes a comparator and resistor R4. The comparator includes a non-inverting input, an inverting input, and an output. The inverting input receives the PWM signal filtered by the acquisition signal input filtering unit 2, and the non-inverting input receives the reference voltage provided by the voltage divider unit 4. When the voltage at the inverting input of the comparator is less than the voltage at the non-inverting input, the comparator outputs a low level; when the voltage at the inverting input is greater than the voltage at the non-inverting input, the comparator outputs a high level. One end of resistor R4 is connected to the power supply voltage, and the other end is connected to the output of the comparator. Resistor R4 acts as a pull-up resistor. For some comparators with open collector (OC) or open drain (OD) output structures, they cannot directly output a high level and need to be connected to the power supply externally. After connecting R4, when the comparator outputs a high level, the power supply voltage is obtained through R4 to achieve a high-level output; when the output is low, the current flows to the comparator output through R4. For example, in a certain type of comparator chip, this connection method can ensure that the comparator outputs stable high and low level signals, thereby accurately processing the PWM signal.

[0032] The signal output filtering unit 5 is used to filter the PWM signal output by the comparator unit 3. This unit includes a resistor R5 and a capacitor C2. One end of the resistor R5 is connected to the output terminal of the comparator, and the other end of the resistor R5 is connected to one end of the capacitor C2 and the output terminal of the PWM signal. The other end of the capacitor C2 is grounded. This also constitutes an RC low-pass filter circuit. When the PWM signal output by the comparator passes through the resistor R5, any high-frequency interference signals that may exist in it flow to ground through the capacitor C2, while the low-frequency PWM signal is output to the output terminal of the PWM signal. For example, even after the previous processing, if there is still a small amount of high-frequency noise in the PWM signal output by the comparator, the signal output filtering unit 5 can further filter out this noise, making the final output PWM signal purer and more stable, meeting the signal stability requirements of subsequent applications.

[0033] This embodiment of the invention also provides a fan, including the aforementioned anti-interference signal processing circuit. Apart from the anti-interference signal processing circuit, the remaining structure of the fan is the same as that in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] It should be noted that the fan provided by this utility model includes the above-mentioned anti-interference signal processing circuit, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the anti-interference signal processing circuit, which will not be repeated here.

[0035] In summary, this invention, through the coordinated operation of the voltage divider unit 4 and the comparator unit 3, compares the fluctuating PWM signal with the stable reference voltage in real time using the provided reference voltage. This effectively identifies and eliminates false levels in the signal, ensuring that the high and low level states of the output PWM signal are clear and stable. It solves the problem of unstable fan speed caused by abnormal PWM signals due to input signal noise and PCB board noise, thereby ensuring stable fan speed.

[0036] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
