Problems solved by technology

[0005] Most of the existing adapter power-saving schemes are to judge the load condition and decide whether to output power. The disadvantage of these schemes is: the judgment circuit will have a certain power consumption in any case in the standby state

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides an adapter, a notebook computer and an energy saving method for the adapter. The adapter comprises an input end, an AC / DC conversion module, an output end and an AC switch, wherein the input end is connected to the external AC; the AC / DC conversion module is used for converting the AC into DC; the output end is used for outputting the DC; the AC switch is connected to an AC line between the conversion module and the input end; and the AC switch is used for disconnecting the AC between the conversion module and the input end when the output end is pulled out of the DC interface of the electrical equipment, and connecting the AC between the conversion module and the input end when the output end is inserted in the DC interface of the electrical equipment. The embodiment of the invention can enable the adapter to realize zero power consumption in the standby state, thereby solving the technical problem that the adapter in the prior art consumes power when being not connected to a load (in the standby state).

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a power adapter, in particular to a power adapter capable of saving power and an adapter power saving method. Background technique [0002] Ordinary laptop computers are equipped with power adapters, which are used to convert ordinary 220V AC power into low-voltage DC power used by laptop computers. [0003] In the office, when most people turn off their laptops, they often only unplug the adapter from the laptop, and don't bother to unplug the 220V adapter. However, the current adapter, when one end is connected to 220V and the other end is not connected to a load, there is more or less standby power consumption, ranging from about 100mW to about 400mW. [0004] In this way, even if the adapter is not working, it still has a standby power consumption of 100-400Mw because it is connected to 220V AC. Although the standby power consumption of a single adapter is not much, as adapters are used more and more, an office, an office ...
