Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a power supply, especially a power supply which can ensure smooth heat dissipation airflow after adjusting the assembly direction. BACKGROUND

[0002] The specification of the conventional power supply is designed to correspond to the specification of the traditional computer case to facilitate assembly operation. With the evolution of the times, consumers' configuration requirements for computer cases are diversified, and various types of computer cases are developed to utilize the internal configuration of the computer case. However, the specification of the conventional power supply is still designed according to the specification of the traditional computer case, which limits the setting direction when the conventional power supply is assembled with the current computer case, and thus the internal space of the current computer case cannot be utilized.

[0003] Therefore, Taiwan TWM624626U discloses a power supply device arranged in a computer case to provide power to electronic devices arranged in the computer case. The power supply device includes a housing having four side edges, an AC input interface arranged on the rear side edge, and at least one DC output interface arranged on one of the left and right side edges adjacent to the rear side edge. Since the DC output interface is arranged on the left or right side edge of the housing, when the power supply device is arranged in the computer case, the user can more easily connect the power cord used by the electronic devices arranged in the computer case to the DC output interface.
