[0026] The modular power supply 1 includes a power supply unit 11 and a detachable backplate unit 12. The power supply unit 11 has a power supply housing 111 and a first terminal 112. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the power supply housing 111 is of ATX size. However, the size of the modular power supply housing 111 can also be changed according to different needs.

[0027] The first terminal 112 is disposed on the front side of the power supply housing 111 (e.g., Figure 1 (As shown). In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first terminal member 112 may be a long plate type disposed on the front side of the power supply housing 111 (e.g., Figure 1 (as shown); or the first terminal 112 may be irregularly shaped and disposed on the front side of the power supply housing 111, thereby being disposed on a housing C of different sizes.

[0028] The modular power supply housing 2 has a modular power supply housing 21, a modular power supply cover 22, and a second terminal board 2131.

[0029] The detachable backplane unit 12 includes a backplane housing 121, a second terminal piece 122, and multiple output ports 123. The second terminal piece 122 is disposed on the rear side of the backplane housing 121 (e.g., Figure 1 (As shown). The output port 123 is located on the front side of the back panel housing 121, and one end of a power cable can be plugged in, while the other end of the power cable is plugged into the power socket of the electronic device to achieve electrical connection. During assembly (e.g.) Figure 5 As shown), the second terminal 122 is electrically connected to the first terminal 112, thereby achieving an electrical connection between the power supply unit 11 and the detachable backplate unit 12. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first terminal 112 is a flange, and the second terminal 122 is a groove.

[0030] Therefore, the modular power supply 1 of this utility model can achieve modular separation design of the power supply unit 11 and the detachable back panel unit 12 through the above-described structural configuration, which can effectively improve installation and maintenance efficiency and increase the flexibility and compatibility of the internal layout of the housing C.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, in one embodiment of this utility model, the first terminal piece is a gold finger edge contact terminal board GF, and the edge of the gold finger edge contact terminal board forms multiple parallel gold-plated contact areas GFE. Thus, the gold-plated contact area GFE of the gold finger edge contact terminal board GF can be inserted into the second terminal piece 122, so that the detachable backplate unit 12 is electrically connected to the power supply unit 11, achieving electrical connection stability and enabling quick insertion and removal.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, in one embodiment of the present invention, the modular power supply 1 includes at least one expansion unit 13. The at least one expansion unit 13 is disposed in the power supply housing 111 and electrically connected to the power supply unit 11. The at least one expansion unit 13 may be a socket for connecting external devices, such as a monitoring device to provide intelligent power monitoring for the modular power supply 1, or a UPS to provide backup power, thereby expanding functionality. In one embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent power monitoring is used to measure the power, temperature, and fan status of the modular power supply 1 during operation.

Therefore, when the power supply unit 11 and the detachable backplate unit 12 are assembled together, they can be locked together by the at least one first positioning portion 113 and the at least one second positioning portion 124, thereby fixing the power supply housing 111 and the detachable backplate unit 12. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the at least one first positioning portion 113 is a screw hole, and the at least one second positioning portion 124 is a screw.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in one embodiment of the present invention, the detachable backplate unit 12 has at least one third positioning part 125. The at least one third positioning part 125 is disposed on the backplate housing 121 and fixed to the housing C. Therefore, when the modular power supply unit 1 is replaced separately with the power supply unit 11, the detachable backplate unit 12 can be fixed to the housing C. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the at least one third positioning part 125 is a screw hole.
