Abstract

A linear power supply is used for supplying a voltage to an electronic device to drive the electronic device. The linear power supply includes a casing having a containing space disposed therein and at least one heat dissipating portion, and the containing space includes a circular coil and a circuit board electrically connected to the circular coil. With the foregoing measures, the linear power supply of the invention is lighter in weight, smaller in size, and better in heat dissipation than the prior art power supply that employs a silicon steel core.

Claims

1. A linear power supply, used for supplying voltage to an electronic device, comprising:

a casing, having a containing space disposed therein;

a circular coil, installed in said containing space;

a circuit board, installed in said containing space and electrically coupled to said circular coil; and

at least one heat dissipating portion, disposed on said casing and corresponding to said circular coil.

2. The linear power supply of claim 1, wherein said casing includes a plug for accessing an external power supply, and said plug is electrically coupled to said circuit board.

3. The linear power supply of claim 1, wherein said circuit board includes an output end for outputting a voltage, and said casing includes a cable outlet disposed at a position corresponding to said output end.

4. The linear power supply of claim 1, wherein said casing is in a circular arc shape.

5. The linear power supply of claim 1, wherein said casing is in a cylindrical shape.

6. The linear power supply of claim 1, wherein said casing is in a polygonal shape.

7. The linear power supply of claim 1, wherein said heat dissipating portion includes at least one through hole disposed at the surface of said casing.

8. The linear power supply of claim 7, wherein said heat dissipating portion is in a radiating shape.

9. The linear power supply of claim 7, wherein said heat dissipating portion is in a rectangular bar shape.

10. The linear power supply of claim 7, wherein said heat dissipating portion is in a circular arc shape.
