Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switching power supply technology, specifically to an automatic current sharing switching power supply. Background Technology

[0002] In modern electronic devices and industrial systems, the demand for high-power electricity continues to rise. Traditional single-unit switching power supplies, limited by their power capacity, struggle to meet the high-power supply needs of scenarios such as data centers, electric vehicle charging facilities, and industrial automated production lines. Therefore, solutions involving multiple switching power supplies operating in parallel have emerged. By combining multiple power modules, the total power output of the power supply system can be significantly improved. However, when multiple power supplies are connected in parallel, due to the inherent differences in the characteristics of each power module, uneven current distribution can easily occur if not controlled. Some power modules may bear excessive current and become overloaded, shortening their lifespan or even causing damage. Automatic current sharing switching power supplies are advanced power conversion devices primarily used in multi-module power systems. They can automatically monitor and adjust the output current of each parallel power module, ensuring that the current borne by each module is evenly distributed. Through built-in current sharing control circuits and related algorithms, they collect the current information of each module in real time, analyze and process it, and then precisely adjust the output. This technology effectively solves the problem of uneven current distribution when multiple power supplies are connected in parallel, improving the overall performance, reliability, and stability of the power system. It is widely used in many fields with high power supply requirements, such as communications, industry, and medical applications.

[0003] Like most switching power supplies, automatic current sharing switching power supplies still generate a lot of heat during operation. This heat will seriously affect the normal operation and safety of the automatic current sharing switching power supply. Traditional power switches have defects in heat dissipation, and traditional switching power supplies require a lot of time to remove screws during maintenance and repair, which reduces the maintenance and repair speed. Therefore, we propose an automatic current sharing switching power supply. Utility Model Content
