Abstract

A power converter with a feedback controller includes a converter body with an input end for an input voltage, an output end for an output voltage, a controller with a feedback device, and a connector for connection with the output end of the converter body and with an electric appliance. The circuit of the converter body converts an input voltage to an output voltage. A controller is connected in circuit to the converter body and includes a circuit for regulating the voltage for a desired system output. The feedback device connects to the output end of the converter body. The output voltage is adjustable only when the controller receives an output voltage as a feedback from the feedback device. The controller is not triggered and hence an output voltage is not adjustable when the connector is engaged with the output end of the converter body.

Claims

1. A power converter with a feedback controller, comprising:

a converter body, including

an input end for an input voltage,

an output end for an output voltage, and

a circuit to convert said input voltage to said output voltage;

a controller connected in circuit to said converter body with said output voltage being regulated when said controller receives said output voltage as a feedback from said converter body, including

a circuit to regulate said output voltage from said converter body, and

a feedback device connected to said output end of said converter body; and

a connector, for connection with said output end of said converter body and for connection with an electric appliance, with said controller not being activated to regulate said output voltage when said connector is engaged with said output end of said converter body.

2. The power converter with a feedback controller as claimed in claim 1, with said circuit of said controller monitoring said output voltage sent as a feedback from said feedback device.

3. The power converter with a feedback controller as claimed in claim 1, with said output end of said converter body connects to a plug and a wire, said feedback device of said controller includes a power outlet for connection with said plug, and said connector serves as a connecting media for said plug.

4. The power converter with a feedback controller as claimed in claim 1, with said controller further including an operating interface, with said operating interface including a plurality of buttons and a display, and said buttons are activated to regulate said output voltage.

5. The power converter with a feedback controller as claimed in claim 1, with said controller being located inside of said converter body.

6. The power converter with a feedback controller as claimed in claim 1, with said controller being located outside said converter body and connected to said converter body by a wire.
