Scalable power supply system and electronic device

Abstract

This application discloses a scalable power supply system and electronic device. The system includes: a main body of the device, which houses a first power supply unit and at least one electrical load; a power supply expansion compartment located outside the main body, which detachably houses at least one second power supply unit; and a modular power adapter board detachably disposed between the main body of the device and the power supply expansion compartment. The second power supply unit is connected to the main body via the modular power adapter board to cooperate with the first power supply unit in supplying power to the electrical load. This application achieves synergistic optimization of power, configuration, and heat dissipation by replacing the adapter board to adapt to different power supply specifications and flexibly expanding the total power by adding or removing external power supply modules. Simultaneously, it moves high-power power supplies outside the main body, freeing up internal space to improve heat dissipation.
