Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present utility model relates to a power supply device, and more particularly to a power supply device for controlling computer peripheral devices. Background Art

[0002] In order to enable a computer mainframe to emit dazzling lighting effects, computer devices with light-emitting components can be provided in a computer chassis, such as RGB fans, RGB water pumps, etc. The computer devices with light-emitting components are connected to a motherboard using transmission lines, and only then can a user control the lighting effects or rotation speeds of the computer devices.

[0003] However, the number of transmission interfaces (such as USB interfaces) provided on a general motherboard is limited, which restricts the number of light-emitting computer components that can be set. In addition, the transmission interfaces of the motherboard cannot provide sufficient power for the computer components. Therefore, the light-emitting computer components must also be provided with power lines separately to obtain the operating power from a power supply module, which will increase the number of wires in the chassis.

[0004] Please refer to Figure 1 , patent document US10514732B2, which discloses an intelligent computer cabinet 11. A micro-control junction box 12 is provided on the intelligent computer cabinet 11. The micro-control junction box 12 is connected to several computer peripheral devices such as chassis fans, lighting signs, lighting setting modules, and power modules. Several light-emitting components (LEDs) are provided in the several chassis fans, and the microcontroller can store setting parameters to control the lighting effects and the rotation speeds of the fans.

[0005] The micro-control junction box 12 only has the ability of data transmission and cannot provide sufficient power for the several chassis fans. Therefore, the several chassis fans must be provided with power lines separately to obtain sufficient power. Too many wires provided inside the housing will not only cause clutter in the space but also increase the difficulty of wire management. In addition, the number of transmission interfaces on the microcontroller is limited, which also restricts the number of chassis fans that can be set.

[0006] From the above description, it can be seen that the existing micro-control junction box 12 has the following disadvantages in actual implementation:

[0007] I. It will occupy space in the chassis:

[0008] The existing micro-control junction box 12 is an independent circuit module outside the motherboard and is generally provided in the right space of the intelligent computer cabinet 11 and attached to the board member of the chassis. The setting of the micro-control junction box 12 will not only occupy space in the chassis but also affect the setting of transmission lines.

[0009] II. The number of computer peripheral devices that can be connected is limited:

[0010] The existing micro - control junction box 12 must be connected to several computer peripheral devices respectively. However, each interface of the micro - control junction box 12 can only be connected to one computer peripheral device. If the number of interfaces set on the micro - control junction box 12 is insufficient, another micro - control junction box 12 needs to be set up to meet the needs of numerous computer peripheral devices. Therefore, the existing micro - control junction box 12 has the problem of limited number of connected computer peripheral devices.

[0011] III. The transmission lines are not easy to organize:

[0012] Since the micro - control junction box 12 only has the ability to transmit data (DC5V) and cannot provide power (DC12V) to computer peripheral devices such as fans or motors, the several computer peripheral devices must be respectively provided with power lines connected to a power supply to obtain sufficient operating power. Coupled with the several transmission lines connected to the micro - control junction box 12, the number of transmission lines set in the intelligent computer case 11 is too large, greatly increasing the difficulty of wire management.

[0013] Therefore, how to release the space in the chassis, increase the number of computer peripheral devices, and reduce the number of transmission lines in the chassis is the goal that relevant technical personnel urgently need to strive for. Summary of the Utility Model

[0062] Regarding the relevant patent features and technical content of the present utility model, they will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment in conjunction with the reference drawings.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 which is a preferred embodiment of a power supply device 3 for controlling computer peripheral devices according to the present utility model. The power supply device 3 for controlling computer peripheral devices is suitable for connecting with at least one computer peripheral device 21. The power supply device 3 for controlling computer peripheral devices includes a housing unit 31, a power supply unit 32, and a control unit 33.

[0064] The housing unit 31 includes a power supply housing 311.

[0065] The power supply unit 32 includes a power supply module 321 disposed in the power supply housing 311, and at least one power supply output slot 322 connected to the power supply module 321. The power supply output slot 322 is disposed on the power supply housing 311. In this preferred embodiment, the number of the power supply output slots 322 is several, for providing power cord insertion and providing power for the operation of the motherboard, display adapter, etc. Among them, the technologies of the housing unit 31 and the power supply unit 32 are the same as those of general power supplies, and will not be elaborated here.

[0066] The control unit 33 includes a microcontroller 331 disposed in the power supply housing 311 and connected to the power supply module 321, at least one device connection slot 332 connected to the microcontroller 331, a control connection slot 333 connected to the microcontroller 331, and a rotation speed connection slot 334 connected to the microcontroller 331. The microcontroller 331 is a circuit module disposed inside the power supply housing 311 (as shown in Figure 3 ), and the microcontroller 331 is connected to the power supply module 321 to directly obtain the power for the operation of the microcontroller 331.

[0067] Review Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4, the control connection slot 333 is disposed on the power supply housing 311, and the control connection slot 333 provides a connection for a computer main device 22, so that the computer main device 22 and the microcontroller 331 can transmit data to each other. In the preferred embodiment, the wiring standard of the control connection slot 333 is USB Type-C, but it is not limited thereto. Wherein, the computer main device 22 is a motherboard provided in the computer, and at least one USB connection pin group is provided on the computer main device 22. The control connection slot 333 is connected to the USB connection pin group, so that the computer main device 22 and the microcontroller 331 can transmit data to each other. The user can operate the computer to set the microcontroller 331 through the computer main device 22, and the microcontroller 331 can also transmit the operating status of the computer peripheral device 21 back to the computer through the computer main device 22.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , and Figure 5 , the device connection slot 332 is disposed on the power supply housing 311, and the device connection slot 332 can be connected to the computer peripheral device 21, so that the microcontroller 331 and the computer peripheral device 21 can transmit data to each other.

[0069] In the preferred embodiment, the number of the computer peripheral devices 21 is several. The computer peripheral devices 21 are respectively a CPU water cooling device and several fan devices. In actual implementation, the number of the computer peripheral devices 21 can also be set to one. The computer peripheral device 21 can also be a CPU air cooling device, an RGB light bar, or other devices that can emit light or are provided with a rotating motor, etc., and should not be limited thereto.

[0070] Review Figure 2 , Figure 3 , and Figure 4 , the rotation speed connection slot 334 is disposed on the power supply housing 311, and the rotation speed connection slot 334 provides a connection for the computer main device 22, so that the microcontroller 331 can transmit data to the computer main device 22. A CPU water cooling motor rotation speed connection pin group is provided on the computer main device 22. The rotation speed connection slot 334 is connected to the CPU water cooling motor rotation speed connection pin group. The main purpose of the rotation speed connection slot 334 is to transmit the motor rotation speed of the computer peripheral device 21 used for CPU cooling to the computer main device 22. The computer peripheral device 21 used for CPU cooling includes cooling devices such as a CPU water cooling device and a CPU air cooling device that can cool the CPU. The computer peripheral device 21 used for CPU cooling transmits the motor rotation speed to the microcontroller 331 through the device connection slot 332, and the microcontroller 331 then transmits the motor rotation speed to the computer main device 22 through the rotation speed connection slot 334.

[0071] Please refer toFigure 5 , Figure 6 , and Figure 7 , in the device connection slot 332, there is a power transmission electrode assembly 3321 connected to the power module 321, and a signal transmission electrode assembly 3322 connected to the microcontroller 331. The power transmission electrode assembly 3321 is composed of several electrodes, the signal transmission electrode assembly 3322 is composed of several electrodes, the power transmission electrode assembly 3321 transmits power, and the signal transmission electrode assembly 3322 transmits control signals.

[0072] Since the power transmission electrode assembly 3321 and the signal transmission electrode assembly 3322 are provided in the device connection slot 332, the device connection slot 332 can transmit power and information simultaneously. Only one transmission line group needs to be provided between the computer peripheral device 21 and the device connection slot 332, and the computer peripheral device 21 can obtain the operating power, control information, and detection information, thereby reducing the number of transmission lines set in the chassis.

[0073] The computer peripheral device 21 includes a first cooling module 211 connected to the device connection slot 332, a lighting module 212 connected to the device connection slot 332, a second cooling module 213 connected to the device connection slot 332, and an identification number storage module 214 connected to the device connection slot 332.

[0074] The computer peripheral device 21 can select to set the first cooling module 211, the lighting module 212, the second cooling module 213, and the identification number storage module 214 according to the types of settings. When the computer peripheral device 21 is a CPU water cooling device, the first cooling module 211 is a water block with a motor, the second cooling module 213 is a radiator with at least one fan, the lighting module 212 is at least one RGB light emitting diode provided in the CPU water cooling device, and the identification number storage module 214 is a memory provided in the CPU water cooling device. The identification number storage module 214 stores the identity data exclusive to the computer peripheral device 21 for identifying data such as the type, installation location, and exclusive number of the computer peripheral device 21. When the computer peripheral device 21 is a CPU water cooling device or a fan device, the first cooling module 211 is not provided.

[0075] The microcontroller 331 has a first rotation speed storage component 3311 connected to the device connection slot 332, a lighting effect storage component 3312 connected to the device connection slot 332, a second rotation speed storage component 3313 connected to the device connection slot 332, a device number storage component 3314 connected to the device connection slot 332, and a device matching component 3315 connected to the device connection slot 332.

[0076] The first cooling module 211 transmits the rotational speed to the microcontroller 331 and stores it in the first rotational speed storage component 3311. The microcontroller 331 transmits the data stored in the first rotational speed storage component 3311 to the computer main device 22 through the rotational speed connection slot 334. The microcontroller 331 controls the first cooling module 211 and the second cooling module 213 according to the data stored in the second rotational speed storage component 3313.

[0077] When the computer peripheral device 21 is a CPU water cooling device, a motor rotational speed detector is provided in the first cooling module 211, which can transmit the motor rotational speed to the microcontroller 331 through the device connection slot 332 and store it in the first rotational speed storage component 3311. The microcontroller 331 then transmits the data (motor rotational speed) stored in the first rotational speed storage component 3311 to the computer main device 22 through the rotational speed connection slot 334. After computer operation, the data for controlling the motor can be transmitted to the second rotational speed storage component 3313 in the microcontroller 331. The microcontroller 331 controls the first cooling module 211 and the second rotational speed storage component 3313 according to the data in the second rotational speed storage component 3313.

[0078] In addition, when the computer peripheral device 21 is the second cooling module 213 (fan device) provided with a lighting module 212 (RGB LED), the user can operate the computer to set the data stored in the lighting effect storage component 3312 and the data stored in the second rotational speed storage component 3313. The microcontroller 331 controls the lighting module 212 (RGB LED) according to the data stored in the lighting effect storage component 3312, and the microcontroller 331 controls the rotational speed of the second cooling module 213 (fan device) according to the data stored in the second rotational speed storage component 3313.

[0079] The device matching component 3315 can obtain the stored data in the identification number storage module 214 of the computer peripheral device 21 to match with the stored data in the device number storage component 3314, and the microcontroller 331 controls the matched computer peripheral device 21. When the computer peripheral device 21 is first connected to the microcontroller 331, the stored data in the device number storage component 3314 does not correspond to the stored data in the identification number storage module 214 of the computer peripheral device 21. The device matching component 3315 of the microcontroller 331 will store the data stored in the identification number storage module 214 in the device number storage component 3314 to achieve the purpose of automatic detection and automatic matching, and provide the user with the setting of the computer peripheral device 21.

[0080] When the computer peripheral device 21 is connected to the microcontroller 331 again, since the stored data in the device number storage component 3314 already corresponds to the data stored in the identification number storage module 214, the device matching component 3315 of the microcontroller 331 can be immediately matched with the computer peripheral device 21, and the microcontroller 331 can control different computer peripheral devices 21 according to the stored data in the device number storage component 3314.

[0081] Among them, when the user does not set the computer peripheral device 21, the computer will use the default settings to control the computer peripheral device 21. When the user has set the computer peripheral device 21, the computer will use the user's set data to control the computer peripheral device 21. When several computer peripheral devices 21 adopt the same set data, the microcontroller 331 can synchronously control the several computer peripheral devices 21.

[0082] Review Figure 5 、 Figure 6 ,and Figure 7 It is worth mentioning that since the stored data in the device number storage component 3314 corresponds to the stored data in the identification number storage module 214, the computer can perform addressing control on several computer peripheral devices 21. Not only can the computer peripheral device 21 be controlled by the microcontroller 331, but the several computer peripheral devices 21 can also be connected in series. The device connection slot 332 only needs to connect out a set of transmission lines, and it can set and control each computer peripheral device 21 in the way of addressing control and serial connection. Since the several computer peripheral devices 21 are connected in series, the length of each set of transmission lines can be reduced, and the space in the chassis will no longer be messy.

[0083] From the above description, it can be seen that the power supply device 3 for controlling computer peripheral devices of the present invention indeed has the following effects:

[0084] 1. It does not occupy the internal space of the chassis:

[0085] Since the microcontroller 331 is arranged in the power supply housing 311, there is no need to additionally set a microcontroller junction box 12 in the computer chassis (as Figure 1 shown), and the microcontroller 331 and the power supply module 321 have been connected inside the power supply housing 311. The microcontroller 331 directly obtains the operating power without additional wiring. Therefore, the power supply device 3 for controlling computer peripheral devices indeed does not occupy the internal space of the chassis.

[0086] 2. The number of computer peripheral devices set is not limited:

[0087] Since the stored data of the device number storage component 3314 corresponds to the stored data of the identification number storage module 214, the microcontroller 331 can set and control several computer peripheral devices 21 respectively in the manner of addressing control and cascading setting. And only one device connection slot 332 is needed to transmit control information to the several computer peripheral devices 21, and the number of the set computer peripheral devices 21 is not limited by the number of the set device connection slots 332.

[0088] III. Easy cable management:

[0089] Since the power transmission electrode component 3321 and the signal transmission electrode component 3322 are arranged in the device connection slot 332, the device connection slot 332 can transmit power and information simultaneously. Each computer peripheral device 21 only needs one transmission line group to obtain the operating power and control information, reducing the number of the transmission lines arranged in the chassis. And the several computer peripheral devices 21 are arranged in cascade, which can reduce the length of each transmission line group, making the transmission lines in the chassis easy to arrange.

[0090] In summary, the microcontroller 331 is arranged in the power supply housing 311, which can not only directly obtain the power for the operation of the microcontroller 331, but also does not occupy the space in the computer chassis. The microcontroller 331 has the technology of addressing control, which can arrange the several computer peripheral devices 21 in cascade. The device connection slot 332 has the ability to transmit power and information, which can reduce the number of the transmission lines in the computer chassis. The microcontroller 331 can automatically detect, synchronize and manage the computer peripheral devices 21 to control all system cooling modules and lighting modules. The design of the power supply device 3 can simplify the installation process, effectively reduce the number of the transmission lines and improve the overall aesthetics inside the chassis. The microcontroller 331 can ensure the coordinated synchronous control between the system cooling module and the lighting module, providing users with consistent and visually stunning lighting effects and an amazing computer usage experience. The microcontroller 331 can manage multiple computer peripheral devices 21, thus significantly improving the efficiency and power consumption of the computer, making it an ideal solution for gamers, enthusiasts and professionals who seek high-performance and visually appealing settings. The power supply device 3 of the present utility model integrating the microcontroller 331 capable of controlling computer peripheral devices represents a major advancement in computer hardware, providing a more intuitive and user-friendly method for system customization and management. Therefore, the purpose of the present utility model can indeed be achieved.

[0091] As described above, it is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and the scope of implementation of the present utility model cannot be limited thereby. That is to say, all simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present utility model and the content of the utility model description still fall within the scope covered by the patent of the present utility model.
