Abstract

A high efficiency heat dissipated power supply comprises a base and a cover. The base receives power from a plug at a rear side thereof. The voltage of power is reduced, and is rectified by an electronic circuit for being used by a computer mainframe. A bank of fans are installed at a rear side of the base so that the fan absorbs air between the cover and base; and then guide the air to blow out the air. An interior of the cover has at least one cover fan. The cover fans are actuated by a power source. Then the air is exhausted by an exhausting fan at a rear side of the base. Thereby, air flows along three paths so that convection air is formed at the interior and exterior of the power supply; as a result heat dissipating efficiency is increased so that capacity and output power are increased.

Claims

1. A high efficiency heat dissipated power supply comprising

a base and a cover;

the base receiving power from a plug at a rear side thereof;

the voltage of the power being reduced and rectified by an electronic circuit on the base for being used by a computer mainframe;

an exhausting fan installed at a rear side of the base so that the fan moves air between the cover and base; and

then causes the air to flow out;

at least one cover fan installed in an interior of the cover;

the at least one cover fan being actuated by a power source;

outer air being absorbed by the cover fan and then flowing into the cover to blow the air to the electronic circuit;

then the air is exhausted by the exhausting fan at the rear side of the base;

thereby, air flows so that convection air is formed at the interior and exterior of the power supply;

a front fan at a front end of the base;

the front fan being a suction fan;

the exhausting fan, the front fan and the cover fan in the cover being formed as a fan group;

wherein the plug is connected to a receptacle at a rear side of the base through an electronic switch;

when the power supply supplies power to a computer mainframe and the computer mainframe is actuated, the receptacle transfers power to a connected peripheral or another receptacle through an extension line; and

wherein when the mainframe is closed, the electronic switch is operated so that the receptacle is turned off and thus the power does not flow through the receptacle;

thereby, no power is transferred;

thus, the power supply has the function of transferring power and by turning on or off the computer mainframe, output of power can be switched automatically.

2. The high efficiency heat dissipated power supply as claim in claim 1, wherein the peripheral is one of a screen and a printer.
