Abstract

A power supply used for a desknote is disclosed. The power supply used for a desknote includes a casing, an air inlet located on a first side surface of the casing, an air outlet located on a second side surface opposite to the first side surface, an output element located on the first side surface or the second side surface, and an input element located on the second side surface or the first side surface opposite to the output element. By the arrangement of the output element and the input element, the air inlet and the air outlet are not covered by objects other than the casing to prevent the airflow from being blocked.

Claims

1. A power supply used for a desknote, comprising:

a casing;

an air inlet located on a first side surface of said casing;

an air outlet located on a second side surface opposite to said first side surface;

an output element located on said first side surface or said second side surface; and

an input element located on said second side surface or said first side surface opposite to said output element;

wherein by the arrangement of said output element and said input element, said air inlet and said air outlet are not covered by objects other than said casing to prevent the airflow from being blocked.

2. The power supply according to claim 1 wherein said output element and/or said input element are selected from the group consisting of a plug, a socket and a power cord.

3. The power supply according to claim 1 wherein said air inlet and/or said air outlet comprise plural air vents.

4. The power supply according to claim 1 wherein said air inlet and/or said air outlet are formed integrally with said casing.

5. The power supply according to claim 1 wherein said casing has plural air vents disposed on any said surface of said casing.

6. The power supply according to claim 1 wherein said casing has a heat-dissipating fan therein at the location of said air inlet or said air outlet.

7. A power supply used for a desknote, comprising:

a casing;

an air inlet located on a first side surface of said casing; and

an air outlet located on a second side surface opposite to said first side surface;

wherein at least one of said first side surface and said second side surface is a non-vertical plane, so that said air inlet and said air outlet are not covered by objects other than said casing to prevent the airflow from being blocked.

8. The power supply according to claim 7 wherein said non-vertical plane is one selected from the group consisting of an arc plane, a pyramid plane, a wave plane and a slant plane.

9. The power supply according to claim 7 further comprising an output element and/or an input element.

10. The power supply according to claim 9 wherein said output element and/or said input element are selected from the group consisting of a plug, a socket and a power cord.

11. The power supply according to claim 7 wherein said air inlet and/or said air outlet comprise plural air vents.

12. The power supply according to claim 7 wherein said air inlet and/or said air outlet are formed integrally with said casing.

13. The power supply according to claim 7 wherein said casing has plural air vents disposed on any said surface of said casing.

14. The power supply according to claim 7 wherein said casing has a heat-dissipating fan therein at the location of said air inlet or said air outlet.

15. A power supply used for a desknote, comprising:

a casing;

an air inlet located on a first side surface of said casing;

an air outlet located on a second side surface opposite to said first side surface, wherein at least one of said first side surface and said second side surface has a concave portion at the location of said air inlet or said air outlet; and

an output element and/or and an input element located on said first side surface and/or said second side surface;

thereby said air inlet and said air outlet are not covered by objects other than said casing to prevent the airflow from being blocked.

16. The power supply according to claim 15 wherein said output element and/or said input element are selected from the group consisting of a plug, a socket and a power cord.

17. The power supply according to claim 15 wherein said air inlet and/or said air outlet comprise plural air vents.

18. The power supply according to claim 15 wherein said air inlet and/or said air outlet are formed integrally with said casing.

19. The power supply according to claim 15 wherein said casing has plural air vents disposed on any said surface of said casing.

20. The power supply according to claim 15 wherein said casing has a heat-dissipating fan therein at the location of said air inlet or said air outlet.
