Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer power supplies, and in particular to a computer power supply structure. Background Technology
[0002] Computers are low-voltage products, meaning their components operate at relatively low voltages, typically within ±12 volts, and use direct current (DC). Ordinary AC mains power is 220 volts and cannot be directly used on computer components. Therefore, like many household appliances, computers require a power supply unit to convert AC mains power into a usable voltage, usually installed inside the computer. The core components of a computer operate at very low voltages, and because computers operate at very high frequencies, the power supply requirements are relatively high. A computer's power supply is a switching circuit that converts AC to DC, then uses a chopper to control the voltage, outputting different voltages to computer components such as the motherboard, hard drive, and optical drive.
[0003] Existing power interfaces generally have multiple connectors to avoid the problem of incorrect plugging of different power supply units. However, the corresponding power connectors are not standardized for each model, resulting in large gaps or size differences between the connectors, which also affects the assembly efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a computer power supply structure, which aims to improve the existing computer power supply layout and achieve a unified design of connectors. This can not only ensure power supply to different devices, but also reduce assembly and connector alignment problems, thereby enabling power supply to different power supply units.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a computer power supply structure, comprising:
[0006] The power supply unit includes a power supply module, which has several output connectors.
[0007] The output connector includes two rows of pins, and each row of pins has multiple pins.
[0008] The output connector can be used to supply power to electrical devices and output a predetermined power, wherein the electrical devices are PCI-E, CPU, IDE or SATA.
[0009] Preferably, the output connector is a female connector, and the electrical device is a male connector that mates with the female terminal.
[0010] The female head includes a female plastic shell with a slot and a PIN pin located in the slot;
[0011] The male connector includes a plug portion that mates with a slot and a female terminal that mates with a pin.
[0012] The female terminal is located inside the plug-in portion.
[0013] Preferably, the electrical equipment is provided with a plurality of terminals, the number of which is used to control a predetermined value of output power.
[0014] Preferably, the output connector has a two-row, five-pin structure.
[0015] Preferably, there are ten slots, and the arrangement of the slots is the same as the arrangement of the PIN pins.
[0016] Preferably, the female terminal has ten or more terminals.
[0017] Preferably, the female terminal is provided with a clearance position.
[0018] Preferably, the number of the female terminals is irregularly arranged according to the predetermined electrical equipment.
[0019] Preferably, the power supply unit is equipped with a control device, which outputs a predetermined power according to the number of female terminals.
[0020] Preferably, the output connector is located on the PCB board.
[0021] In practical design, by setting the output connector to a 2*5 connector, the output connector is standardized. This standardization is then applied to subsequent PCI-E (bus interface, suitable for powering existing devices), CPU (chip), IDE (integrated electronic drive), or SATA (hard drive), thus enabling power supply for existing CPUs, data transmission, hard drives, water pumps, fans, etc., and meeting the power supply needs of various existing devices.
[0022] After standardizing the aforementioned connectors, the electrical equipment can send a predetermined power consumption command to the power supply unit, thereby providing it with a predetermined voltage and current to obtain a predetermined operating power; specifically, it can be based on... Figure 2 As shown, the power output is based on existing technology (for example, the power supply unit can adaptively output power according to the power requirements of the device, depending on the power of the graphics card), which will not be elaborated here;
[0023] Alternatively, a simpler mechanical structure can be used, employing male connectors with varying numbers of female terminals to meet different power requirements.
[0024] Furthermore, non-full-pin female terminals can be arranged according to requirements to meet different power needs.
[0025] However, when the male terminal is actually inserted into the female terminal, the structure is the same, only the pins of the male terminal are different. Therefore, the required power supply is switched accordingly to meet the standard connector's non-uniform power output, thus satisfying the standardization of the connector.
[0026] Meanwhile, the standardized output connectors are smaller and easier to install, and their arrangement is more neat, further improving the compactness of the connector layout. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a computer power supply structure includes:
[0042] The power supply unit includes a power supply unit 1, which has several output connectors 2.
[0043] The output connector 2 consists of two rows of five-pin 20 structures;
[0044] The output connector 2 can be used to supply power to electrical equipment and output a predetermined power. The electrical equipment is PCI-E, CPU, IDE, or SATA.
[0045] In practical design, by setting output connector 2 as a 2*5 connector, standardization of output connector 2 is achieved. This allows for subsequent PCI-E (bus interface, suitable for powering existing devices), CPU (chip), IDE (integrated electronic drive), or SATA (hard drive) connections, thus enabling power supply for existing CPUs, data systems, hard drives, water pumps, fans, etc., and meeting the power supply needs of various existing devices.
[0046] After standardizing the aforementioned connectors, the electrical equipment can send a predetermined power consumption command to the power supply unit, thereby providing it with a predetermined voltage and current to obtain a predetermined operating power; specifically, it can be based on... Figure 2 As shown, the power output is based on existing technology (for example, the power supply unit 1 can adaptively output power according to the power required by the device, depending on the power of the graphics card). It will not be described in detail here.
[0047] Alternatively, a simpler mechanical structure can be used, employing male connectors with varying numbers of female terminals 30 to meet different power requirements.
[0048] Furthermore, the non-full-pin female terminals 30 can be arranged according to requirements to meet different power needs.
[0049] However, when the male terminal 3 is actually inserted into the female connector, the structure is the same, only the PIN pin 20 of the male connector is different. Therefore, the required power supply is switched accordingly to meet the standard connector requirements for different power outputs, thus satisfying the standardization of the connector.
[0050] Meanwhile, the standardized output connector 2 is smaller in size and easier to install. At the same time, the arrangement is neater, further improving the compactness of the connector layout.
[0051] Specifically, the output connector 2 is a female connector, and the electrical device is a male connector that mates with the female terminal 30;
[0052] The female head includes a female plastic shell with a slot and a PIN pin 20 disposed in the slot;
[0053] The male connector includes a plug portion that mates with a slot and a female terminal 30 that mates with a PIN pin 20;
[0054] The female terminal 30 is located inside the plug-in part, thereby enabling the connectors to cooperate with each other and meet different power needs.
[0055] In one embodiment of this utility model, the electrical device is provided with a plurality of terminals. The number of terminals is used to control a predetermined value of output power. In one embodiment, the predetermined value of output power can be controlled by controlling the distribution or number of terminals of the electrical device, thereby achieving standardization of the connectors.
[0056] Specifically, there are ten slots, and the arrangement of the slots is the same as the arrangement of the PIN pins 20.
[0057] In this embodiment of the utility model, the female terminal 30 is provided with ten terminals, i.e., a full PIN configuration, thereby satisfying the power supply of maximum power.
[0058] Specifically, the female terminal 30 is provided with a number other than ten, such as nine, eight, seven or six, and the number can be set differently according to different power demand.
[0059] In this embodiment of the utility model, fewer than ten female terminals 30 are arranged irregularly according to the predetermined electrical equipment, thereby meeting the different power needs of different equipment and thus meeting different power supply efficiencies.
[0060] Specifically, the power supply unit 1 is equipped with a control device, which outputs a predetermined power according to the number of female terminals 30.
[0061] This can be understood as using universal female and male housings. There are ten PIN pins (20 pins in total), but the male and female housings can be directly matched for different electrical devices.
[0062] However, the number of female terminals 30 can be adjusted according to different electrical equipment to achieve differences in electrical power consumption in the mechanical structure;
[0063] Of course, different power supply adjustments can be achieved through the circuit design of the control device, thereby satisfying the design of universal connectors, but with different power adjustments.
[0064] In this embodiment of the utility model, the output connector is located on the PCB board 10 and is installed on the same PCB board 10. The design of the PCB board 10 is simpler and the circuit layout is more compact and stable.
[0065] like Figure 6 In one embodiment, one end has a full PIN structure, and the female terminal has a clearance position, thereby enabling electrical connection between different devices.
[0066] Through this application Figure 5 and existing technologies Figure 7 contrast, Figure 7 The interface has various structures, and the shape and installation of the corresponding data cable need to be matched with the product one by one. In terms of mass production, its production cost and assembly cost are higher than those of standardized connectors.
[0067] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
