Description

Power supply device

Technical Field

The present utility model relates to a power supply device, and more particularly, to a power supply device with a dc power output port disposed on a side and capable of controlling a peripheral device.

Background

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, an internal configuration of a host computer 11 is described, wherein a power supply 12, a motherboard 13, a CPU, a memory, and other computer devices are disposed in the host computer 11, the power supply 12 is a power supply device of the computer, and the power supply 12 converts ac power into dc power with stable and different low voltages to provide operating power for the motherboard 13, the CPU, the memory, and other computer devices.

The power supply 12 includes a housing 121, an AC power input port (not shown) disposed on the housing 121, and a plurality of DC power output ports 122 disposed on the housing 121, wherein the housing 121 has a front side 123, a rear side (not shown), a right side 124, a left side 125, a top 126, and a bottom (not shown), the AC power input port is disposed on the rear side, the plurality of DC power output ports 122 are disposed on the front side 123, a space must be reserved inside the computer 11 on the front side of the power supply 12, and power wires in the power supply 12 can be inserted into the plurality of DC power output ports 122, and the left side 125 and the right side 124 are flat surfaces without sockets.

Referring to fig. 3, in addition to this, a plurality of peripheral devices 14 (including LED light emitting modules, air cooling modules, water cooling modules, etc.) are disposed in the host computer 11, each peripheral device 14 needs to use an information transmission line 141 to connect to the motherboard 13 of the computer to enable the computer to control the operation status of each peripheral device 14, but the limited number of ports disposed on the motherboard 13 results in limited number of expandable peripheral devices 14, and when the power consumption of the peripheral devices 14 is larger, the peripheral devices 14 must be additionally disposed with power transmission lines 142 to connect to the power supply 12, which results in too many transmission lines in the host computer 11 being difficult to be managed.

As can be seen from the above description, the currently used power supply 12 has the following disadvantages:

1. wire finishing is difficult:

since the DC power output ports 122 are disposed on the front side 123, the power transmission lines disposed in the host computer 11 need to be drawn to the front side 123 of the housing 121 of the power supply 12, and the peripheral device 14 with larger power consumption must be further provided with the power transmission lines 142 connected to the power supply 12, so that the number of transmission lines disposed in the host computer 11 cannot be reduced, which further causes difficulty for the user to complete the power supply.

2. Space is wasted:

since the DC power output ports 122 are disposed on the front side 123 of the housing 121, the structure of the host computer 11 must be designed with enough space on the front side of the housing 121 to enable the power transmission lines in the host computer 11 to be connected to the DC power output ports 122, which results in not only crowding the space in the host computer 11 but also wasting the space in the host computer 11.

3. No information can be transmitted:

the function of the general power supply 12 is to output the power of the computer devices such as the motherboard 13, CPU, memory, etc. by using the DC power output ports 122, and the host computer 11 cannot transmit information with the power supply 12, so the power supply 12 used currently has the drawbacks of not receiving information, not storing information, and not outputting information.

4. The expandable peripheral device is limited:

since the number of ports provided on the motherboard 13 is limited, and each port can only be connected to a peripheral device 14, the number of peripheral devices 14 provided is limited by the number of ports on the motherboard 13, and a user cannot configure the peripheral devices 14 in the host computer 11 according to his own mind.

Therefore, it is a goal of the related art to easily arrange the power transmission lines in the computer host 11, effectively utilize the internal space of the computer host 11, and provide the power supply 12 with information transmission and information storage functions.
