风扇系统及其启动方法 Fan system and its starting method

技术领域technical field

本发明关于一种风扇系统及其启动方法,特别关于一种提升稳定度及安全性的风扇系统及其启动方法。The present invention relates to a fan system and a starting method thereof, in particular to a fan system and a starting method thereof with improved stability and safety.

背景技术Background technique

随着科技的高度发展,对于电子设备的功能要求越高,使用的电子元件数量与集积度也就越为提高,相对的散热需求亦越大,故散热功能的好坏将会直接影响电子设备的可靠度与使用寿命。With the rapid development of science and technology, the higher the functional requirements for electronic equipment, the higher the number and concentration of electronic components used, and the greater the relative heat dissipation requirements. Therefore, the quality of heat dissipation will directly affect electronic equipment. Equipment reliability and service life.

利用风扇作为散热装置为常见的结构设置,于客户系统端使用时,通常会因应客户端的不同需求而增加或减少风扇的数量,并通过控制装置或控制芯片以驱动及控制风扇系统中风扇的转速,使得风扇可配合客户系统的实际运作状况而调整风扇的转速。It is a common structural setting to use fans as cooling devices. When used on the client system side, the number of fans is usually increased or decreased according to the different needs of the client, and the speed of the fans in the fan system is driven and controlled by the control device or control chip. , so that the fan can adjust the fan speed according to the actual operating conditions of the customer system.

请参照图1所示,一种习知的风扇系统与一客户系统端SB1相互电连接,风扇系统包括一热抽换控制装置11、一控制装置12及一风扇装置13。通常该客户系统端SB1提供主电源MP1及辅助电源SP1,并具有一连接器C1,而连接器C1用以将主电源MP1所产生的一第一驱动信号S01以及辅助电源SP1所产生的一第二驱动信号S02传送至该风扇系统。Please refer to FIG. 1 , a conventional fan system is electrically connected to a client system end SB1 , and the fan system includes a hot swap control device 11 , a control device 12 and a fan device 13 . Usually, the client system end SB1 provides the main power supply MP1 and the auxiliary power supply SP1, and has a connector C1, and the connector C1 is used for connecting a first driving signal S01 generated by the main power supply MP1 and a first driving signal generated by the auxiliary power supply SP1. The second drive signal S02 is sent to the fan system.

该热抽换控制装置11具有相互电连接的多个热抽换元件111、112及多个接脚113,该多个热抽换元件111、112分别与该客户系统端SB1、该控制装置12及该风扇装置13电连接,并分别接收该第一驱动信号S01或该第二驱动信号S02。The heat swap control device 11 has a plurality of heat swap elements 111, 112 and a plurality of pins 113 electrically connected to each other. It is electrically connected with the fan device 13 and receives the first driving signal S01 or the second driving signal S02 respectively.

该控制装置12为一数字信号处理器或一微处理器,而该热抽换元件112传输该第二驱动信号S02以启动该控制装置12。The control device 12 is a digital signal processor or a microprocessor, and the hot swap element 112 transmits the second driving signal S02 to activate the control device 12 .

该风扇装置13与该控制装置12电连接,并具有多个风扇131及多个隔离电路132,该多个热抽换元件111传输该多个第一驱动信号S01以分别启动该多个风扇131,而该多个隔离电路132电连接于该控制装置12及该多个风扇131之间,以传输该控制装置12所产生的一脉冲宽度调制信号(PWM)P至该多个风扇131,使该多个风扇131依据该脉冲宽度调制信号P而改变转速。The fan device 13 is electrically connected to the control device 12 and has a plurality of fans 131 and a plurality of isolation circuits 132. The plurality of heat-swappable elements 111 transmit the plurality of first driving signals S01 to activate the plurality of fans 131 respectively. , and the plurality of isolation circuits 132 are electrically connected between the control device 12 and the plurality of fans 131, so as to transmit a pulse width modulation signal (PWM) P generated by the control device 12 to the plurality of fans 131, so that The rotation speeds of the plurality of fans 131 are changed according to the PWM signal P.

一般而言,该风扇系统须于任何状态下提供该客户系统端SB1足够的散热需求,故当该风扇系统的其中的一风扇131损坏时,则可通过热抽换元件111以热抽换(hot-swap)的方式即时更换新风扇,藉以维持客户系统端SB1的散热需求。然而,对于该客户系统端SB1的主电源MP1及辅助电源SP1所对应连接的该多个热抽换元件111、112为各自独立的电源启动,故当使用者不当的插拔时,除了会造成该热抽换控制装置11的该接脚113容易弯折外,还因与该连接器C1的接触点变小,而容易有接触不良的问题产生。Generally speaking, the fan system must provide sufficient heat dissipation requirements of the client system side SB1 in any state, so when one of the fans 131 of the fan system is damaged, it can be hot-swapped through the heat-swappable element 111 ( hot-swap) to replace the new fan in real time, so as to maintain the heat dissipation requirements of the SB1 on the customer system side. However, the plurality of hot-swappable elements 111 and 112 correspondingly connected to the main power supply MP1 and the auxiliary power supply SP1 of the client system end SB1 are activated by independent power supplies, so when the user improperly plugs and unplugs, in addition to causing The pin 113 of the hot-swappable control device 11 is easy to bend, and the contact point with the connector C1 becomes smaller, so the problem of poor contact is likely to occur.

此外,由于该风扇131的马达(图未示)为动态电感性负载,故自静止状态启动至稳定状态需很大的启动电流,而于该风扇系统启动的瞬间,可能于该风扇系统与该客户系统端SB1的该连接器C1之间产生浪涌电流(inrushcurrent)、电压(spike voltage)或尖峰噪声(spike noise),甚至产生跳火现象,即电弧(electric arc),造成该客户系统端SB1或该风扇系统的损害。In addition, since the motor (not shown) of the fan 131 is a dynamic inductive load, a large starting current is required to start from a static state to a steady state, and at the moment when the fan system starts, there may be a gap between the fan system and the fan system. Inrush current, voltage (spike voltage) or spike noise (spike noise) is generated between the connector C1 of the client system end SB1, and even flashover occurs, that is, electric arc (electric arc), causing the client system end damage to SB1 or the fan system.

另外,目前该热抽换控制装置11的该多个接脚113虽然通常做成浮动连接器(floating connector)(如图2所示)或是浮动电路板(floatingboard)(图未示),以确保该多个接脚112于瞬间同时接触到该连接器C1,但是此种方式还是无法有效及完全地抑制尖峰噪声于该多个接脚113的产生,且于热抽换的同时,该多个热抽换元件111所产生的正或负尖峰噪声会经由主电源MP1的接地回路通过该接脚113而去损害到该风扇系统的小信号电子元件(图未示),故通常会加入该多个隔离电路132以作保护。此外,倘若频繁地使用该多个热抽换元件111,除了会使该多个接脚113的接触点(terminal)较易发生氧化接触不良的情况外,还使该多个热抽换元件111的寿命降低,进而降低该风扇系统的质量。In addition, although the plurality of pins 113 of the hot-swappable control device 11 are usually made into floating connectors (floating connector) (as shown in FIG. 2 ) or floating circuit board (floating board) (not shown in the figure), with It is ensured that the plurality of pins 112 contact the connector C1 at the same time at the same time, but this method still cannot effectively and completely suppress the generation of spike noise on the plurality of pins 113, and at the same time of hot swapping, the multiple The positive or negative spike noise generated by each hot-swappable element 111 will pass through the pin 113 through the ground loop of the main power supply MP1 to damage the small-signal electronic components (not shown in the figure) of the fan system, so this is usually added. Multiple isolation circuits 132 are used for protection. In addition, if the plurality of heat-swappable elements 111 are frequently used, in addition to making the contact points (terminals) of the plurality of pins 113 prone to oxidation and poor contact, the plurality of heat-swappable elements 111 will also The life of the fan is reduced, which in turn reduces the quality of the fan system.

爰因于此,如何提供一种于风扇系统启动时,可有效抑制浪涌电流、浪涌电压或尖峰噪声的产生,并进而达到同时保护客户系统端及自我保护的风扇系统及其启动方法,已成为重要课题之一。Therefore, how to provide a fan system and its starting method that can effectively suppress the generation of surge current, surge voltage or spike noise when the fan system is started, and then achieve simultaneous protection of the client system and self-protection, has become one of the important topics.
