[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments, not all embodiments.
[0036] Example like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a smart computer power adapter, including a boost circuit module 10, a housing 20, and a cooling fan 30.
[0037] Specifically, the boost circuit module 10 is used to convert the input 15-21V DC power into a 120V DC power output. The boost circuit module 10 has one power output interface 11 and two power input interfaces 12. One of the power input interfaces 12 is used to connect a power bank. The boost circuit module 10 seamlessly switches / stops the power supply from the power bank according to the power input status of the two power input interfaces 12 to prevent power outages.
[0038] Furthermore, the power input interface 12 adopts a Type-C power input interface 12. The power output interface 11 adopts an 8-pin power interface.
[0039] The two 15-21V DC Type-C power input interfaces 12 can be automatically and seamlessly switched to a 120V DC figure-8 power output via the boost circuit module 10. Two power supplies can be connected simultaneously, and the other can be automatically powered when either is disconnected. Alternatively, either power supply can be used independently.
[0040] When in use, it can be connected to two power sources simultaneously, such as a power bank and a high-power DC power supply. The power bank can provide continuous power when you need to go out or during an unexpected power outage, making it very convenient for switching between usage scenarios and protecting user data. Users can freely choose the power supply method, making it convenient to carry around.
[0041] Specifically, the boost circuit module 10 is fixedly disposed inside the housing 20. A mounting slot 21 is formed on the outer surface of the housing 20 for mounting the mini computer host.
[0042] In this embodiment, one of the power input interfaces 12 is electrically connected to the cooling fan 30, and the cooling fan 30 is fixedly connected to the housing 20.
[0043] Specifically, the outer casing 20 has multiple heat dissipation vents 28 on its side, and the heat dissipation vents 28 are connected to the interior of the outer casing 20.
[0044] Specifically, the outer casing 20 is provided with an assembly port 22, which communicates with the interior of the outer casing 20. The exhaust port of the cooling fan 30 is inserted into the interior of the outer casing 20 through the assembly port 22.
[0045] In this embodiment, a heat sink 23 is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the outer casing 20.
[0046] For example, the housing 20 is made of aluminum alloy, the boost circuit module 10 is bolted to the housing 20, and a thermally conductive silicone pad (not shown) is provided between the back of the boost circuit module 10 and the inner bottom surface of the housing 20.
[0047] For example, the heat sink 23 and the housing 20 are integrated into one unit.
[0048] In this embodiment, the outer casing 20 is L-shaped, and the mounting slot 21 is configured to mimic one corner of the mini computer host.
[0049] Specifically, the housing 20 includes a bottom housing 24 and a guide member 25.
[0050] Furthermore, the bottom shell 24 is fixedly connected to the guide component 25, and the guide component 25 has a guide air duct 26. The bottom shell 24 has a receiving cavity 27 inside, the boost circuit module 10 is located in the receiving cavity 27, and the guide air duct 26 communicates with the receiving cavity 27.
[0051] Furthermore, the assembly port 22 is located on the guide component 25 and is connected to the airflow duct 26. One side wall of the airflow duct 26 is arc-shaped, while the other side walls are vertical. The diameter of the airflow duct 26 gradually increases along the direction of the receiving cavity 27, and the airflow duct 26 as a whole has a large blowing area, which is beneficial for heat dissipation of the boost circuit module 10.
[0052] Specifically, the shape of the mounting slot 21 and the position of the figure-eight power interface need to be determined according to the mini PC host. For example... Figure 5 As shown below, the setup method for mounting slot 21 and the figure-8 power connector will be explained using a Mac Mini mini computer as an example.
[0053] Specifically, the figure-eight power connector matches the power input connector of the Mac Mini computer, and the mounting slot 21 mimics the corner of the Mac Mini computer that contains the power connector.
[0054] Furthermore, the figure-eight power connector is fixed to the guide component 25, and the position of the figure-eight power connector is set to match the position of the power port of the Mac Mini mini computer host.
[0055] To use, place the Mac Mini computer in slot 21, align the power port of the Mac Mini computer with the figure-eight power connector, and then insert the figure-eight power connector into the power port of the Mac Mini computer to complete the connection.
[0056] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described above, the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be conceived without inventive effort should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
