In order to make object of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearly understand, below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the present invention is further elaborated.Should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein only in order to explain the present invention, be not intended to limit the present invention.
The embodiment of the present invention, when power-efficient is lower than semi-load, controls a power supply and enters cold standby state, to improve power-efficient, and normal power supply switch to cold standby power time, maintain always voltage export, without the need to bulky capacitor buffering, reliability is high, and cost is low.
Below in conjunction with specific embodiment, realization of the present invention is described in detail:
Fig. 1 shows the flowage structure of the cold standby changing method of the redundant power that the embodiment of the present invention provides, and for convenience of explanation, illustrate only part related to the present invention.
As one embodiment of the invention, the cold standby changing method of this redundant power comprises the steps:
In step S101, to the sampling of output total current, and according to current sampling data determination redundant power efficiency;
In step s 102, judge that whether redundant power load is lower than semi-load;

As one embodiment of the present invention, this first, second cold standby control signal and first, second working control signal can pass through PMBus protocol transmission.
As one embodiment of the present invention, the first cold standby control signal of output or the second cold standby control signal can be recorded and record, alternately to export according to first, second cold standby control signal of record controls.
In embodiments of the present invention, by the output total current of power supply backplane sampling redundant power, according to the efficiency working curve of power supply, see Fig. 2, can learn, below semi-load, efficiency and the load of power supply are the relations be directly proportional, therefore, the embodiment of the present invention redundant power efficiency lower than during semi-load by PMBus bus Dynamic controlling wherein the first power supply enter cold standby state, second source normally works, for ensureing the reliability of system, power supply backplane can record the power control unit that the last time enters cold standby state, upper once enter cold standby time can do and alternately control, ensure that two power control units can enter cold standby state in turn, avoid occurring a certain power control unit long-term all in running order and reduction of service life.
First power control unit controls self to enter cold standby state after receiving cold standby control signal, disconnect the first branch road, control the first power supply to be exported by the second branch road, due to the second source voltage that the first supply voltage of the second branch road output exports a little less than second source control unit first branch road, and be in the scope of normal working voltage permission, therefore, first power control unit does not have output current to power, the second source that load supplying electric current is all exported by second source control unit is born, because the load current of second source control unit doubles, according to the principle relation of Fig. 2, the conversion efficiency of second source control unit is greatly improved, thus improve the conversion efficiency of whole redundant power.
When second source control unit because its output voltage when power supply or faults itself can reduce gradually, when voltage is reduced to the output voltage being less than the first power control unit, all supply currents can automatically switch to is powered by the output of the first power control unit; The MCU1 of the first power control unit can sample to its output voltage and output current equally, thus calculate the power output of this unit, after power output rises above the performance number of setting, the MCU1 of the first power control unit can return to normal operating conditions by control circuit by its boosting, exit cold standby state, thus ensure that system worked well and reach the object of Redundancy Design.
Because power supply backplane to read the operating state of the first power control unit and second source control unit in real time by PMBus bus, can stop sending the instruction entering cold standby when second source control unit fault, thus the situation also sending cold standby instruction when preventing single operational module occurs.
Redundant power is when normally working, output voltage can be adjusted to consistent by equalizing control circuit or output control circuit with second source control unit by the first power control unit, power supply is exported to realize parallel current-sharing, now the first power control unit and second source control unit respectively bear the output current powering load of half, thus achieve the function of current-sharing and redundant power supply.
The embodiment of the present invention is when power-efficient is lower than semi-load, control a power supply and enter cold standby state, make the output of cold standby power supply a little less than the cold standby supply voltage of former supply voltage, therefore cannot output current, total output current is all transferred on non-cold standby power supply, non-cold standby power supply is increased due to load, corresponding raising power-efficient, thus the conversion efficiency improving system.And when non-cold standby power supply power-fail or fault cisco unity malfunction, when its output voltage is reduced to below cold standby electric power output voltage, cold standby power supply automatically switches to and exports in power supply, thus complete the switching being transferred to normal operating conditions from cold standby state, realize redundancy feature, and the situation of power down can not be there is during switching, improve system reliability, not need to increase bulky capacitor buffering, provide cost savings, this ensures that there power-supply system yet.
