Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress vibration caused by the output of a burushless fan motor drive circuit during operation of a brushless fan motor, without effects by a change in temperature and prevent noise caused by vibration from coming out from a case, etc., in which the fan motor is housed, in the brushless fan motor drive circuit which detects the position of a rotor by means of a Hall element and then switches the polarity of current in a coil. SOLUTION: A Hall element 4 is connected to a DC power supply, through a current controlling resistor (R1 ) 2 and a division resistor (R2 ) 3 is connected in parallel to the Hall element 4. A resistance value of the division resistor (R2 ) 3 is set considerably smaller than the impedance of the Hall element 4. By making the ratio of current allowed to flow in the division resistor (R2 ) 3 large, the Hall element 4 can be operated nearly at the constant voltage. By this method, the drive output becomes large, and the gradients in the rise and fall become gentle and therefore, the vibration at the time of switching the polarity can be controlled to be small, compared with the conventional method.

The above-described conventional fan motor drive circuit uses a saturated bipolar circuit in order to stabilize the operation with respect to a temperature change. In this saturation operation, the drive signal becomes a saturated value and can take a large level, and the drive signal level is less likely to be affected by a temperature change.
When the Hall element is used in an unsaturated operation (approaching a sine wave), the sensitivity of the Hall element decreases at high temperatures, the Hall output voltage decreases, and the rotation speed decreases, as is clear from the characteristic diagram of FIG. Problem arises.

By the way, there is a demand for further suppressing noise caused by a fan motor such as a personal computer having the above-described fan motor built therein. In a notebook computer with a built-in fan motor, the noise level is a little noise in terms of absolute noise level.

We pursued the cause of such noise. As a result, since the switching of the polarity of the fan motor drive circuit is performed by the saturation operation, the inversion of the drive signal is rapidly performed, and it is found that the sudden inversion of the drive signal gives vibration to the rotor.

This is to suppress the temperature dependency of (impedance of the Hall element). That is, the effect of the temperature change is reduced, and the voltage change at the connection point between the current control resistor (R 1 ) 2 and the Hall element 4 is reduced to operate in a state close to a constant voltage.
