The technical content and detailed description of the present invention are explained as follows in conjunction with the drawings:

Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a block diagram of the uninterruptible power supply of the present invention. The uninterruptible power supply 100 has an input terminal 100-1 and an output terminal 100-2. The input terminal 100-1 receives the input power Vin and the output terminal 100-2 is coupled to the load 200. The uninterruptible power supply 100 includes a switching unit 10, a charging unit 20, an energy storage unit 30, a conversion unit 40, and a control unit 50. One end of the switching unit 10 is coupled to the input terminal 100-1, and the other end is coupled to the output terminal 100-2. One end of the charging unit 20 is coupled to the input terminal 100-1, and the other end is coupled to the energy storage unit 30 and the control unit 50. The first end of the conversion unit 40 is coupled to the output end 100-2, and the second end is coupled to the energy storage unit 30. In addition, the third terminal of the conversion unit 40 is coupled to the charging unit 20 and provides a second power source V2 to the charging unit 20. The specific position of the conversion unit 40 coupled to the charging unit 20 and the timing of providing the second power supply V2 will be described in more detail below.

When there is an input power Vin, the switching unit 10 receives the input power Vin, and provides the first output power Vo1 to the output terminal 100-2 according to the input power Vin, so that the uninterruptible power supply 100 provides the first output power Vo1 as a load 200 electricity required for operation. At this time, the charging unit 20 receives the input power Vin, converts the input power Vin to the first power V1, and outputs the first power V1 to charge the energy storage unit 30. At the same time, the first power source V1 output by the charging unit 20 is also provided to the control unit 50 to provide power required for the control unit 50 to operate.

When there is no input power supply Vin, the energy storage unit 30 provides the energy storage power supply Vc to the conversion unit 40, wherein the energy storage power supply Vc is stored in the energy storage unit 30 via the input power supply Vin when the input power supply Vin is present Of electricity. The conversion unit 40 converts the energy storage power supply Vc to the second output power supply Vo2, and provides the second output power supply Vo2 to the output terminal 100-2, so that the uninterruptible power supply 100 provides the second output power supply Vo2 as required for the operation of the load 200 Of electricity. At this time, the conversion unit 40 provides the second power supply V2 to the charging unit 20 through the third terminal, and the charging unit 20 converts the second power supply V2 to the first power supply V1 and provides the first power supply V1 to the control unit 50 to provide control The power required for unit 50 to operate.

The uninterruptible power supply 100 further includes a switch unit 60, one end of the switch unit 60 is coupled to the charging unit 20, and the other end is coupled to the energy storage unit 30. When the switch unit 60 detects that there is the input power Vin, the switch unit 60 is turned on, so that the first power source V1 can charge the energy storage unit 30 through the path where the switch unit 60 is turned on. When the switch unit 60 detects that there is no input power Vin, the switch unit 60 is turned off to make the path between the charging unit 20 and the energy storage unit 30 open, so the first power source V1 output by the charging unit 20 cannot Unit 30 is charged. It is worth mentioning that in one embodiment of the present invention, whether the switch unit 60 is turned on or not can be detected by the control unit 50 whether there is an input power Vin, and a control signal is output to control the switch unit 60.

The control unit 50 includes an isolation transformer 52, a communication unit 54 and a controller 56. The controller 56 controls the normal operation of the uninterruptible power supply 100, and the user can set the operation mode of the uninterruptible power supply 100 or communicate with other electronic devices through the communication unit 54. Specifically, one end of the isolation transformer 52 is coupled to the charging unit 20, and the other end is coupled to the communication unit 54 so that the first power V1 provided by the charging unit 20 is coupled to the communication unit 54 through the isolation transformer 52 to provide a place for the communication unit 54 to operate. Electricity required. The controller 56 is coupled to the charging unit 20, and the first power source V1 provides power required for the controller 56 to operate. Further, the communication unit 54 is usually disposed outside the uninterruptible power supply 100 (eg, but not limited to, the surface of the housing of the uninterruptible power supply 100), and the isolation transformer 52 is used as the primary side of the isolation transformer 52 It is electrically isolated from the secondary side to protect the safety of the user operating the uninterruptible power supply 100. The controller 56 is usually disposed inside the uninterruptible power supply 100 and outputs a control signal to maintain the normal operation of the units of the uninterruptible power supply 100. Therefore, under normal operation, the controller 56 is generally not touched by the user, and an isolation transformer can be omitted. However, in practical applications, it can be set according to the actual use requirements of the uninterruptible power supply 100.

Further, when the power in the energy storage unit 30 continues to be consumed, the voltage value of the energy storage power source Vc gradually decreases due to the continuous consumption of the power in the energy storage unit 30. If the energy storage unit 30 directly supplies the energy storage power source Vc to the control unit 50, it may cause the voltage value of the energy storage power source Vc to drop to the point that the control unit 50 cannot be maintained to work normally. Therefore, the energy storage power supply Vc must pass through the primary conversion unit (in one embodiment of the present invention, referring to the charging unit 20) to maintain the power received by the control unit 50 (in one embodiment of the present invention, referring to The voltage value of the first power supply V1) is stable.
