耗时近一个月设计制作了这款能接入米家生态的智能主动散热增高架系统,从最初的硬件选择及接入米家APP测试成熟耗时许久。喜欢的朋友可以折腾起来了。
It took nearly a month to design and create this smart active cooling riser system that integrates with the Mi Home ecosystem. From the initial hardware selection to successful integration with the Mi Home app, the process took a significant amount of time. Enthusiasts who are interested can start tinkering with it now.
一、主要设想
解决封仓打印时仓温过高导致堵头跟打印质量下降问题,最初是机器与米家空气净化器结合,仓内置入米家蓝牙温度计2,实时监测温度状况,当达到预设温度值时自动开启空气净化器,使其强制降温。当温度降低到预设值时关闭空气净化器。当然,这个联动需要一个中枢设备,就是小米智能多模网关做桥接。
在稳定运行一段时间后发现还是需要打开仓门才能获得更多的进风量后,决定设计一款增高架来实现联动散热的目的。同时加入了照明功能。
二、连动逻辑
实现这个联动需要以下软硬件支持。
软件:米家
硬件:小米温度计2、小米智能多模网关、V5智能二键开关(Mesh)、小米空气净化器
The goal was to solve the problem of high enclosure temperatures during printing, which can lead to nozzle clogs and decreased print quality. Initially, the plan was to integrate the printer with the Mi Home air purifier. A Mi Home Bluetooth thermometer 2 would be placed inside the enclosure to monitor the temperature in real time. When the temperature reached a preset value, the air purifier would automatically turn on to force cooling. Once the temperature dropped to the preset value, the air purifier would turn off. This setup requires a central device, the Xiaomi Smart Multi-Mode Gateway, to act as a bridge.
After running this setup for a while, it was clear that opening the enclosure door allowed for better airflow. Therefore, I decided to design a riser to facilitate the cooling process and included a lighting function.
To achieve this integration, the following hardware and software support are required:
Software: Mi Home app
Hardware:
以下是大致的联动图例:
还有智能自动化设置:
Smart Automation Setup
需要注意的是,关于仓温设置需要根据你打印机放置的位置来去调整。以我的打印机为例,我是放在阳台位置的,因为杭州夏天温度较高,有时候打印机不在工作时仓内温度较高就会激活空气净化器联动程序,如果跟我情况相似,可以适当调高激活温度数值。
"It's important to note that the enclosure temperature settings need to be adjusted based on where your printer is located. For example, my printer is placed on the balcony. Due to the high temperatures in Hangzhou during the summer, sometimes the temperature inside the enclosure can rise, triggering the air purifier's automation program even when the printer is not in operation. If your situation is similar to mine, you may need to increase the activation temperature accordingly."
三、功能展示
感应灯光开启,灯光与智能开关公用一个电源适配器,但是开关是独立运行的。两个互不干涉。
Here's a demonstration of the features:
This setup allows for independent control of the lighting and the smart switch, even though they share the same power adapter. It ensures convenience and simplicity in installation while maintaining separate functionalities for both components.

Through this feature demonstration, smart cooling activation effectively controls the temperature inside the printer enclosure, improves print quality, and ensures stable operation of the equipment over an extended period.
*需要预埋铜螺母的位置
The position for embedding copper nuts needs to be specified in advance.
散热网安装位置
我这里采取的方式是502去粘接。
The installation position for the heat sink mesh is where I used adhesive 502.
写在最后:关于散热量的问题,其实散热孔面积已经够用了,因为有空气净化器强制散热,形成负压,可以将热空气抽出来,冷空气从上方散热孔进入。个人觉得已经够用了。这套方案基于自己已经有很多小米的智能设备基础之上进行设计改造的,可能对于很多想尝试此方案的朋友门槛较高。适用于爱折腾的朋友,或者家里也有相似智能设备的朋友去使用。大家多多交流。
In conclusion, regarding the issue of heat dissipation, the area of the heat sink holes is already sufficient. With the air purifier facilitating forced cooling, it creates negative pressure to exhaust hot air while drawing in cool air through the upper heat dissipation holes. Personally, I believe it's already adequate.
This setup is based on modifying my existing setup with several Xiaomi smart devices. It may have a higher entry barrier for those interested in trying this approach. It's more suitable for enthusiasts who enjoy tinkering or for those who already have similar smart devices at home. Let's continue sharing and exchanging ideas.
