Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switching power supply technology, specifically to a switching power supply with a temperature control mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Switching power supply technology utilizes modern power electronics to control the on / off time ratio of switching transistors, converting input electrical energy into a stable output voltage. It is characterized by high efficiency, small size, and light weight, and is widely used in industrial automation, communication equipment, electronic instruments, and home appliances. With technological advancements, switching power supplies are continuously progressing towards higher frequencies, smaller sizes, and higher efficiency, while also demonstrating significant value in energy conservation and environmental protection. Despite issues such as circuit complexity and maintenance difficulties, its position in modern electronics and electrical technology remains irreplaceable, and it continues to drive the development of related technologies.
[0003] Current switching power supplies employ various heat dissipation methods, primarily including natural cooling, fan cooling, and combinations thereof. Natural cooling increases heat dissipation capacity by increasing the surface area of the heat sink, but this results in a larger heat sink; while fan cooling rapidly cools the power supply through forced airflow, although this may increase the risk of malfunction. Combining both methods allows for rapid adaptation to temperature changes while reducing the size and cost of individual coolers. In addition, there are methods using metal heat sinks and some advanced intelligent cooling technologies. The appropriate method must be selected based on the specific requirements of the power supply and its environmental adaptability during the design phase.
[0004] While existing switching power supplies meet certain usage requirements to some extent, they only provide cooling but not heating. In extremely cold regions or low-temperature environments, the internal components of the switching power supply may malfunction due to excessively low temperatures. For example, electrolytic capacitors may fail at low temperatures, preventing the power supply from starting. Utility Model Content
