The time constant of the second capacitor Q and the tenth resistor R 〇 determines the time during which the protection signal SPROT is maintained at the middle level. After the second capacitor & charge reaches a steady state, the slow start switch sw0 turns off the low speed control switch §w4, φ the third switch SW3 of the reverse current protection circuit 324 and the second of the isolation circuit 323 The switch sw2, so that the first switch SWi turns on the path of the eighth resistor and the ground, so that the third and eighth resistors R3 and Rs are input to the driving unit 33 as the control signal Scnt. Bias circuit. The control signal ‘ can control the driving unit 33 to drive the rotational speed of the fan 4. The signal resetting unit 34 has a signal reset switch SW7, and a fifteenth resistor R] 5'. The fifteenth resistor R] 5 receives the power signal V and f receives the signal. The control terminal of one of the switches SW7 is coupled to the reset buffer circuit BUFi at the end of the signal reset switch SW7, and the other end is connected to the ground terminal. In the embodiment, when the fan blade of the fan 4 is forcibly stopped, the reset control signal S is controlled by the signal reset switch sw>7, and the circuit of the reset buffer circuit and the ground terminal is only rotated one by one. Reset 峨Srst_s to the slow start (5) SW6 to control the secret protection unit 32 to lose & 峨 峨 s_. The 5th power resetting unit 35 has a delay buffer circuit and is connected to a power supply. The power supply reset switch is connected to the reset buffer circuit 1353721. • t Γ ...... —— 2010 In May, the η-day correction is performed. • In the present embodiment, when the fan 4 is plugged in. The delay buffer circuit BUF2 buffers the power signal VreF to control the power supply. The reset switch SW8 turns on the path of the reset buffer circuit BUF and the ground, and outputs a reset signal Sret p to the slow start switch SW6 to control the start protection unit 32 to rotate the protection signal SPROT. The delay buffer circuit BUF2 includes a fifth, sixth, and seventh resistors R5 to R7, a third capacitor q, and a switch SW9. The power signal Vref is input to the fifth resistor Rs and the sixth The resistor core, the sixth resistor R6, the seventh resistor R7 and one end of the third capacitor q are commonly coupled to the switch Sw9 to control the power reset switch SW8. When the fan control device 3 is activated or reset, the conduction of the switch SW9 is delayed due to the charging time of the sixth resistor and the third capacitor C3, and the power signal VreF controls the switch SWS to turn on the slow start switch. The path of the SW6 and the ground terminal and the energy storage of the second capacitor C2 are instantaneously released, so that the slow start switch sw6 is turned off to control the protection signal sPROT at the middle level. After the charging time of the sixth resistor R6 and the third capacitor C3, the switch SW9 is turned on and the power reset switch SWg is turned off, so the fourth resistor and the second capacitor a start charging. The slow start switch SW6 is still kept off and thus maintains the protection signal SpR〇T at the middle level. When the fan 4 is operating normally, the reset control signal Sreset is at a low level and the signal reset switch SW is controlled to be turned off; but when the rotor of the fan 4 is locked, the number 1357721 I ί ---- I - 2010 At the time of the correction on May/1, 'the reset control signal Sreset is at a high level, and the signal is controlled to be reset. The switch SW is turned on' and the storage of the second capacitor C2 is instantaneously released to close the The slow start switch SW6 〇 In the present embodiment, these switches SWfSW9 can be realized by a bipolar junction type transistor (BJT) or a gold oxide half field effect transistor (MOSFET), which is realized by a gold oxide half field effect transistor. The gate of the switch SW^SW9 serves as the input terminal of the control switch actuation Φ, the drain and the source are the two ends to be controlled to be turned on. The fan control device 3 has the advantages that it can be realized by using small and low-cost components such as switches, transistors, capacitors, and resistors, in addition to adjusting the resistance value to change the operation control of the low rotation speed, and by means of a capacitor Achieve slow start and normal operation control. In addition, the externally input control signal does not affect the operation of the protection signal, thereby ensuring that the fan control unit controls the fan operation after steady state. In summary, the fan control device of the present invention outputs a protection signal to force the drive unit to avoid driving the fan, thereby reducing the starting current of the fan or fan control device when it is started or reset. The above is intended to be illustrative only and not limiting. Any equivalent modifications or alterations to the spirit and scope of the invention are intended to be included in the scope of the appended claims.
