Description
技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及一种计算机电源的监控系统,尤其涉及一种通过遥控方式控制计算机的开机或关机,以及显示计算机用电情况的监控系统。The invention relates to a monitoring system for computer power supply, in particular to a monitoring system for controlling the start-up or shutdown of a computer by remote control and displaying the power consumption of the computer.
背景技术 Background technique
电源供应器是供应计算机系统工作电源不可或缺的必要设备。以目前的个人计算机为例,有关电源供应器的电力输出状况,在BIOS中可以显示各种不同规格电压(如3.3、5或12伏特)的输出数值,供使用者参考。但,BIOS提供的信息无法作为使用者随时掌握该项信息的来源。A power supply is an indispensable device that supplies power to a computer system. Taking the current personal computer as an example, regarding the power output status of the power supply, the output values of various voltage specifications (such as 3.3, 5 or 12 volts) can be displayed in the BIOS for user reference. However, the information provided by the BIOS cannot be used as a source for the user to grasp the information at any time.
又,新的主机板已多内建监控机制以配合应用程序将内部温度、输入电力状况及风扇转速等信息在操作系统中呈现。但是该应用程序隐藏于工作列中,除非使用者主动开启,否则仍然无法随时掌握电源供应器的工作状况。In addition, the new mainboard has many built-in monitoring mechanisms to cooperate with the application program to present information such as internal temperature, input power status, and fan speed in the operating system. However, this application program is hidden in the work bar, and unless the user actively opens it, it is still impossible to grasp the working status of the power supply at any time.
因此若上述用以提供监控功能的应用程序未被开启时,当电源供应器的工作温度上升或风扇转速发生异常时,使用者无法立即得知目前电源供应器的工作状况,而在计算机持续操作及使用之下可能导致计算机内部组件过热烧毁。另外,当电源供应器提供的输入电压及输入电流有过高或不稳定的状况时,也会因此影响计算机内部组件及周边装置的使用寿命,造成组件维修成本的增加。Therefore, if the above-mentioned application program used to provide monitoring functions is not opened, when the operating temperature of the power supply rises or the fan speed is abnormal, the user cannot immediately know the current working status of the power supply, and the computer continues to operate. And use may cause the internal components of the computer to overheat and burn. In addition, when the input voltage and input current provided by the power supply are too high or unstable, it will also affect the service life of the computer's internal components and peripheral devices, resulting in an increase in component maintenance costs.
由上述可知,电源供应器对于计算机系统的重要性是绝对的。但依赖BIOS或隐藏的应用程序并无法提供有效的指示或警示功能。It can be seen from the above that the importance of the power supply to the computer system is absolute. But relying on BIOS or hidden applications cannot provide effective indication or warning functions.

After the remote control module 13 processes the signal sent by the fan speed setting unit 138, it controls the wireless signal transmitter 130 to transmit the remote control signal S7 for wind speed adjustment (hereinafter referred to as the wind speed remote control signal) to the interactive display module 12, wherein the interactive display module 12 transmits the wind speed control signal. The signal is sent to the second wireless signal receiver/transmitter 119 in the power supply 11 .
此时,电源供应器11中的第二微处理器115根据送来风速遥控信号以控制信号转换电路113进行信号转换。信号转换电路113将风速遥控信号转换成模拟信号S7’,并且将模拟信号S7’送至风扇驱动单元114,其中风扇驱动单元114连接于信号转换电路113与风扇117之间。此时,风扇驱动单元114根据模拟信号S7’以控制风扇117的转速。上述风扇驱动单元114可以由一个或一个以上的风扇驱动控制电路组成,本实施例是以一个风扇驱动电路动驱动一个风扇117,但本发明风扇驱动电路及风扇的设置数量并不以此为限,亦可以是多个风扇驱动电路驱动多个风扇。如此,使用者即可以自行调控电源供应器11中的风扇117的转速,并且从互动显示模块12查看风扇117的转速。At this time, the second microprocessor 115 in the power supply 11 controls the signal conversion circuit 113 to perform signal conversion according to the wind speed remote control signal sent. The signal conversion circuit 113 converts the wind speed remote control signal into an analog signal S7', and sends the analog signal S7' to the fan drive unit 114, wherein the fan drive unit 114 is connected between the signal conversion circuit 113 and the fan 117.

另外,当第二微处理器115通过互动显示模块12接收遥控模块13中计算机开关机控制单元134送来的信号时,此时是根据送来的信号以控制信号转换电路113进行信号转换(如数字信号转成模拟信号)后输出至开关机控制电路116,以使开关机控制电路116可以根据此信号控制电源转换电路111输出电源供应给计算机主机板以使计算机开机或是停止输出电源供应给计算机主机板以使计算机关机。另外电源转换电路111是通过持续输出电源给互动显示模块12,以使互动显示模块12可以维持正常操作。In addition, when the second microprocessor 115 receives the signal sent by the computer switch control unit 134 in the remote control module 13 through the interactive display module 12, it is now according to the signal sent to control the signal conversion circuit 113 to perform signal conversion (such as The digital signal is converted into an analog signal) and then output to the switch control circuit 116, so that the switch control circuit 116 can control the power conversion circuit 111 according to this signal to output power supply to the computer motherboard so that the computer starts or stops output power supply to computer motherboard to shut down the computer. In addition, the power conversion circuit 111 continuously outputs power to the interactive display module 12 so that the interactive display module 12 can maintain normal operation.
另外,电源供应器11中的侦测电路118是耦接于信号转换电路113与第二微处理器115之间,以判断信号转换电路113与第二微处理器115之间的讯号传输有无异常。举例来说,当信号转换电路113输出一组A信号(如由N字节成)给第二微处理器115时,亦同时输出同样的A信号给侦测电路118。而第二微处理器115亦将从信号转换电路113接收到的A信号输出至侦测电路118。侦测电路118判断信号转换电路113与第二微处理器115回传的信号是否相同,若相同则代表信号转换电路113与第二微处理器115之间的讯号传输为正常,反之则是异常。另外当侦测电路118的侦测结果为异常时,则可以输出一警示信息以提醒相关人员。In addition, the detection circuit 118 in the power supply 11 is coupled between the signal conversion circuit 113 and the second microprocessor 115 to determine whether there is a signal transmission between the signal conversion circuit 113 and the second microprocessor 115 abnormal. For example, when the signal conversion circuit 113 outputs a set of A signals (eg, composed of N bytes) to the second microprocessor 115 , it also outputs the same A signal to the detection circuit 118 at the same time. The second microprocessor 115 also outputs the A signal received from the signal conversion circuit 113 to the detection circuit 118 . The detection circuit 118 judges whether the signals returned by the signal conversion circuit 113 and the second microprocessor 115 are the same, if they are the same, it means that the signal transmission between the signal conversion circuit 113 and the second microprocessor 115 is normal, otherwise it is abnormal . In addition, when the detection result of the detection circuit 118 is abnormal, a warning message may be output to remind relevant personnel.
