The power distribution unit 12 includes a power receiving circuit 122 and a power output circuit 124. Next, the power supply device 2 has a power supply unit 21 and a power distribution unit 22. The power distribution unit 22 also includes a power receiving circuit 222 and a power output circuit 224.

電源分配單元12之電源接收電路122與電源供應單元11及電源供應裝置2的電源分配單元22的電源輸出電路224電性連接。電源接收電路122用以接收電源供應裝置2所提供的第二電源E2,並且透過線路P1提供給伺服器系統C1。相似地,電源分配單元12之電源輸出電路124則與電源供應單元11及電源供應裝置2的電源分配單元22的電源接收電路222電性連接。電源接收電路222用以提供第一電源E1給電源供應裝置2,並且透過線路P2提供給伺服器系統C2。The power receiving circuit 122 of the power distribution unit 12 is electrically connected to the power supply unit 11 and the power output circuit 224 of the power distribution unit 22 of the power supply unit 2. The power receiving circuit 122 is configured to receive the second power source E2 provided by the power supply device 2, and is supplied to the server system C1 through the line P1. Similarly, the power output circuit 124 of the power distribution unit 12 is electrically connected to the power supply unit 11 and the power receiving circuit 222 of the power distribution unit 22 of the power supply unit 2. The power receiving circuit 222 is configured to provide the first power source E1 to the power supply device 2 and to the server system C2 via the line P2.

在實施上,電源分配單元12、22可分別透過一低耗損的電源線與電源供應裝置1、2電性連接,且電源供應單元11和電源分配單元12係可依據電路的設計及產品的需求,而為兩個獨立設置的構件,例如,電源分配單元12可為一外掛式控制電路板,以搭配既有的電源供應單元11使用,或者是,電源供應單元11及電源分配單元12可整合為一單一構件。當然,電源供應單元21和電源分配單元22也可依據需求而為兩個獨立設置的構件或為一單一構件。In an implementation, the power distribution units 12 and 22 can be electrically connected to the power supply devices 1 and 2 through a low-loss power supply line, and the power supply unit 11 and the power distribution unit 12 can be configured according to the circuit and the requirements of the product. For the two separately provided components, for example, the power distribution unit 12 can be an external control circuit board for use with the existing power supply unit 11, or the power supply unit 11 and the power distribution unit 12 can be integrated. As a single component. Of course, the power supply unit 21 and the power distribution unit 22 can also be two independently arranged components or a single component according to requirements.

此外,本說明書所述的「電性連接」可為直接電性連接或是透過其他電子元件間接連接的方式為之,不以直接電性連接為限。例如電源接收電路122與電源供應單元11及電源輸出電路224可為直接電性連接或是間接連接皆可。In addition, the "electrical connection" described in the present specification may be a direct electrical connection or an indirect connection through other electronic components, and is not limited to a direct electrical connection. For example, the power receiving circuit 122 and the power supply unit 11 and the power output circuit 224 may be directly or indirectly connected.

當電源供應裝置1透過電源分配單元12提供第一電源E1 至電源供應裝置2或接收電源供應裝置2所輸出之第二電源E2時,為確保各電源供應裝置皆可正常地提供自身之系統內運作時所需的電源,並避免影響另一系統或被另一系統所影響。因而,電源分配單元12的電源接收電路122及電源輸出電路124是具有多個緩衝器,從而有效地判斷是否得以提供電源或接收電源。When the power supply device 1 supplies the first power source E1 through the power distribution unit 12 To the power supply device 2 or the second power source E2 outputted by the power supply device 2, in order to ensure that each power supply device can normally provide the power required for operation in its own system, and avoid affecting another system or being Another system is affected. Thus, the power receiving circuit 122 and the power output circuit 124 of the power distribution unit 12 have a plurality of buffers, thereby effectively determining whether power is supplied or received.

接著,請一併參照圖2所示,以進一步說明電源供應單元11及電源分配單元12判斷提供第一電源E1及接收第二電源E2的方式。電源接收電路122包括第一開關元件1221以及第一監控元件1222,且第一監控元件1222則與第一開關元件1221耦接。其中,第一監控元件1222用於監控電源供應單元11的操作情況,並依據電源供應單元11所輸出的一第一狀態信號A1與一第二狀態信號A2產生一第一控制信號。此處的第一狀態信號A1代表電源供應單元11的啟動狀態,第二狀態信號A2則代表電源供應單元11的所提供的第一電源的準位(例如可為電壓準位)。Next, please refer to FIG. 2 together to further explain the manner in which the power supply unit 11 and the power distribution unit 12 determine that the first power source E1 and the second power source E2 are provided. The power receiving circuit 122 includes a first switching element 1221 and a first monitoring element 1222, and the first monitoring element 1222 is coupled to the first switching element 1221. The first monitoring component 1222 is configured to monitor the operation of the power supply unit 11 and generate a first control signal according to a first state signal A1 and a second state signal A2 output by the power supply unit 11. Here, the first state signal A1 represents the startup state of the power supply unit 11, and the second state signal A2 represents the level of the first power source provided by the power supply unit 11 (for example, may be a voltage level).

此處所稱的「啟動狀態」、「第一電源的準位」為透過第一監控元件1222所測得的電源供應單元11的運作狀態,依據不同的配置其信號可為透過該些狀態信號判定電源供應單元11是否於穩定可提供第一電源E1的狀態。故,依據不同的輸入狀態信號,其所設定的預設值亦有所不同,例如本案所設定的電源供應單元11的第一電源E1的準位須達到90%的額定電壓準位方可輸出第二狀態信號A2;電源供應單元11開機後方可輸出第一狀態信號A1。The "starting state" and the "first power source level" referred to herein are the operating states of the power supply unit 11 measured by the first monitoring component 1222, and the signals may be determined by the state signals according to different configurations. Whether the power supply unit 11 is stable can provide the state of the first power source E1. Therefore, according to different input state signals, the preset values set are also different. For example, the first power source E1 of the power supply unit 11 set in the present case must reach a rated voltage level of 90% to output. The second state signal A2; the power supply unit 11 is turned on to output the first state signal A1.

補充說明的是,雖本實施例產生的第一控制信號為第一狀態信號A1及一第二狀態信號A2需同時符合的情況。但亦可有實施例,僅需接收第一狀態信號A1及第二狀態信號A2任一信號,例如是僅接收代表第一電源的準位的第二狀態信號A2即可產生第一控制信號。此外,在本實施例中,是以第一狀態信號A1及第二狀態信號A2是由電源供應單元11所輸出為例進行說明,而在其他的應用時,第一狀態信號A1或一第二狀態信號A2將可藉由系統中的其他元件所產生,例如是,藉由設置主機板之特定的運算處理器、或其他的監控電路或處理電路所產生。It should be noted that although the first control signal generated in this embodiment is a case where the first state signal A1 and the second state signal A2 are simultaneously matched. However, there may be embodiments in which only one of the first state signal A1 and the second state signal A2 is received, for example, the second state signal A2 representing only the level of the first power source is received to generate the first control signal. In addition, in the present embodiment, the first state signal A1 and the second state signal A2 are outputted by the power supply unit 11 as an example, and in other applications, the first state signal A1 or a second. The status signal A2 will be generated by other components in the system, for example, by setting a particular operational processor of the motherboard, or other monitoring circuitry or processing circuitry.

第一開關元件1221依據第一控制信號而導通,使伺服器系 統C1接收電源供應裝置2所提供的第二電源E2。其中,就電路結構而言,電源供應裝置1用以提供至伺服器系統C1內各元件運作所需之電源,與其所接收之第二電源E2係為並聯連接的連接方式。The first switching element 1221 is turned on according to the first control signal to make the server system The system C1 receives the second power source E2 provided by the power supply device 2. In terms of circuit structure, the power supply device 1 is configured to provide a power supply required for the operation of each component in the server system C1, and a second power source E2 received in parallel with the connection mode.

請繼續參考圖2,為了使電源供應單元11透過電源分配單元12提供第一電源E1至電源供應裝置2,並避免電源供應裝置1供給超出額定的電源,影響本身運作的情況,電源分配單元12的電源輸出電路124亦可透過多個緩衝器達成上述目的。Referring to FIG. 2, in order to enable the power supply unit 11 to supply the first power source E1 to the power supply device 2 through the power distribution unit 12, and to prevent the power supply device 1 from supplying power beyond the rated power, affecting the operation of the power supply unit 12, the power distribution unit 12 The power output circuit 124 can also achieve the above purpose through a plurality of buffers.

例如電源輸出電路124可包括一第二監控元件1242以及一第二開關元件1241,第二監控元件1242與電源供應單元11耦接,並依據第一電源E1的準位輸出一第三狀態信號,第二開關元件1241則與第二監控元件1242耦接。For example, the power output circuit 124 can include a second monitoring component 1242 and a second switching component 1241. The second monitoring component 1242 is coupled to the power supply unit 11 and outputs a third state signal according to the level of the first power source E1. The second switching element 1241 is coupled to the second monitoring element 1242.

換言之,第二監控元件1242是用以監控電源供應單元11提供的第一電源E1的狀態,並依據其電源狀態輸出第三狀態信號。若電源狀態不穩定,則第二開關元件1241將依據第三狀態信號截止電源供應裝置1與電源供應裝置2的電性連接。反之,則第二開關元件1241導通,使電源供應裝置1與電源供應裝置2電性連接。In other words, the second monitoring component 1242 is for monitoring the state of the first power source E1 provided by the power supply unit 11, and outputting the third state signal according to the power state thereof. If the power state is unstable, the second switching element 1241 will electrically disconnect the power supply device 1 from the power supply device 2 according to the third state signal. On the contrary, the second switching element 1241 is turned on, so that the power supply device 1 is electrically connected to the power supply device 2 .

此處所稱的「第三狀態信號」為透過第二監控元件1242所測得的電源供應單元11的運作狀態,依據不同的配置可為電源穩定狀況(電壓準位)及/或電源供應單元11的電流量準位等等。故,依據不同的第二監控元件1242將會產生不同的第三狀態信號,其所設定的預設值亦有所不同。例如,當電源供應單元11的電壓準位低於額定電壓的90%以下時,第二開關元件1241將會截止並停止供應第一電源E1給電源供應裝置2。The "third state signal" referred to herein is the operating state of the power supply unit 11 measured by the second monitoring component 1242, and may be a power supply stability condition (voltage level) and/or the power supply unit 11 according to different configurations. Current level and so on. Therefore, according to different second monitoring components 1242, different third state signals will be generated, and the preset values set are also different. For example, when the voltage level of the power supply unit 11 is lower than 90% of the rated voltage, the second switching element 1241 will turn off and stop supplying the first power source E1 to the power supply device 2.

此外,除了依據第三狀態信號以外,本實施例更可設定當提供的第一電源E1的準位達到一第一預設值時,電源輸出電路124輸出一通知信號至電源供應裝置2,且電源供應裝置2接收通知信號後,進入節能模式或是關機模式。且更可設置一第二預設值,當第一電源E1的準位達到第二預設值,第二監控元件1242輸出第三狀態信號,第二開關元件1241依據第三狀態信號截止,電源分配單元12停止提供第一電源E1至電源供應裝置2。In addition, in addition to the third state signal, the embodiment can further set that when the level of the first power source E1 provided reaches a first preset value, the power output circuit 124 outputs a notification signal to the power supply device 2, and After receiving the notification signal, the power supply device 2 enters the power saving mode or the shutdown mode. And a second preset value is further set. When the level of the first power source E1 reaches the second preset value, the second monitoring component 1242 outputs a third state signal, and the second switching component 1241 is turned off according to the third state signal. The distribution unit 12 stops supplying the first power source E1 to the power supply device 2.

舉例而言,可將標準電壓準位的95%設定為第一預設值、標準電壓準位低於90%設定為第二預設值,故當電源供應裝置1所輸出之第一電源E1的電壓準位達到第一預設值(即,低於標準電壓準位的95%),電源輸出電路124輸出通知信號,通知電源供應裝置2進入節能模式或是關機模式(或提示準備關機)。而當電源供應裝置1所輸出之第一電源E1的電壓準位達到第二預設值時,第二監控元件1242將輸出第三狀態信號,第二開關元件1241依據第三狀態信號截止,使電源供應裝置1及電源供應裝置2斷路。For example, 95% of the standard voltage level can be set to the first preset value, and the standard voltage level is lower than 90%, and the second power supply device 1 outputs the first power source E1. The voltage level reaches the first preset value (ie, less than 95% of the standard voltage level), and the power output circuit 124 outputs a notification signal to notify the power supply device 2 to enter the power-saving mode or the shutdown mode (or prompt to prepare for shutdown) . When the voltage level of the first power source E1 outputted by the power supply device 1 reaches a second preset value, the second monitoring component 1242 outputs a third state signal, and the second switching component 1241 is turned off according to the third state signal, so that The power supply device 1 and the power supply device 2 are disconnected.

本案亦可搭配人機介面(圖未示出),並將通知信號顯示於人機介面,並藉由使用者手動控制是否停止供給電源供應裝置2電源或關閉電源供應裝置2。The case can also be matched with a human-machine interface (not shown), and the notification signal is displayed on the human-machine interface, and the user manually controls whether to stop supplying power to the power supply device 2 or turn off the power supply device 2.

上述所稱的「標準電壓準位」為電源供應裝置1與電源供應裝置2正常電性連接並供給、接收電源時的電壓準位。若量測的電壓準位低於標準電壓準位,則可能為電源供應裝置2無法正常供電的狀態(換言之,電源供應裝置1的供電增加),故應先將電源供應裝置1與電源供應裝置2斷路或是使電源供應裝置2進入節能模式或是關機模式,以避免電源供應裝置2突然意外的關閉,使得計算機系統或是伺服器系統內的資料遺失。The "standard voltage level" referred to above is a voltage level at which the power supply device 1 and the power supply device 2 are normally electrically connected and supplied and received. If the measured voltage level is lower than the standard voltage level, the power supply device 2 may not be able to supply power normally (in other words, the power supply of the power supply device 1 is increased), so the power supply device 1 and the power supply device should be first used. 2 Breaking or causing the power supply device 2 to enter the energy-saving mode or the shutdown mode to avoid sudden and unexpected shutdown of the power supply device 2, so that the data in the computer system or the server system is lost.

除了監控電壓準位以外,亦可有實施態樣為監控電流準位,若為監控電流準位,則第二監控元件1242可為電流監測元件(current sensor monitor),搭配BMC(baseboard monitor controller)以及管理軟體,可即時監控電源供應單元11輸出給電源供應裝置2的電流量準位,並依據前述電流量準位提供一輸出狀態信號給電源分配單元12。In addition to monitoring the voltage level, there may be an implementation aspect for monitoring the current level. If the current level is monitored, the second monitoring component 1242 may be a current sensor monitor with a BMC (baseboard monitor controller). And the management software, the current quantity level outputted by the power supply unit 11 to the power supply device 2 can be monitored immediately, and an output status signal is provided to the power distribution unit 12 according to the current amount level.

可能的實施方法為:假設電源供應單元11可輸出給電源供應裝置2的最大電流量準位為45A,則此時可將第二預設值設定為45A,且第一預設值設定為28A及39A。故當電源供應單元11輸出的電流量準位大於28A時,電源輸出電路124將提供一通知信號給電源供應裝置2,使電源供應裝置2進入節能模式,並可於人機介面上顯示警示通知。若輸出的電流值大於39A時,電源輸出電路124將再次提供通知信號,使電源供 應裝置2進入關機模式。而當電源供應單元11輸出的電流值達到第二預設值時,第二監控元件1242將輸出第三狀態信號,第二開關元件1241依據第三狀態信號截止,電源供應單元11停止供給電源給電源供應裝置2。The possible implementation method is as follows: assuming that the maximum current level of the power supply unit 11 can be output to the power supply device 2 is 45A, the second preset value can be set to 45A, and the first preset value is set to 28A. And 39A. Therefore, when the current quantity level output by the power supply unit 11 is greater than 28A, the power output circuit 124 will provide a notification signal to the power supply device 2, so that the power supply device 2 enters the energy-saving mode, and can display an alert notification on the human-machine interface. . If the output current value is greater than 39A, the power output circuit 124 will again provide a notification signal to enable the power supply. Device 2 should enter shutdown mode. When the current value output by the power supply unit 11 reaches the second preset value, the second monitoring component 1242 will output a third state signal, the second switching component 1241 is turned off according to the third state signal, and the power supply unit 11 stops supplying power. Power supply device 2.

或者,當電源供應單元11產生警告訊息或是錯誤訊息時,第二監控元件1242直接將警告訊息或是錯誤訊息輸出第三狀態信號,使第二開關元件1241截止,使電源供應裝置1的電源供應單元11停止供給電源。Alternatively, when the power supply unit 11 generates a warning message or an error message, the second monitoring component 1242 directly outputs a warning message or an error message to the third state signal to turn off the second switching component 1241 to power the power supply device 1. The supply unit 11 stops supplying power.

須補充說明的是,雖本實施例的圖式繪示透過同時監控標準電壓準位、電流量準位及電源供應單元11的警告訊息的情況,以使第二監控元件1242輸出第三狀態信號以截止或導通第二開關元件1241。但亦可有實施例,僅需採用其一方式即可。It should be noted that, although the drawing of the embodiment shows the condition that the standard voltage level, the current level, and the warning message of the power supply unit 11 are simultaneously monitored, the second monitoring element 1242 outputs the third status signal. The second switching element 1241 is turned off or turned on. However, there may be embodiments, and only one of them may be used.

此外,上述敘述多以電源供應裝置1為敘述主體,但電源供應裝置2的電源供應單元21及電源分配單元22的配置與電源供應裝置1的電源供應單元11及電源分配單元12,其各單元間的運作與電源供應裝置1相似,且電源供應裝置2與電源供應裝置1的搭配方式與電源供應裝置1與電源供應裝置2的搭配方式相似,故將不再針對電源供應裝置2為主體再次敘述。Further, in the above description, the power supply device 1 is mainly described as the main body, but the power supply unit 21 and the power distribution unit 22 of the power supply device 2 are disposed, and the power supply unit 11 and the power distribution unit 12 of the power supply device 1 have their respective units. The operation between the power supply device 2 and the power supply device 1 is similar to that of the power supply device 1 and the power supply device 2, so that the power supply device 2 is no longer the main body. Narrative.

因此,藉由上述之硬體架構,將可以使每個電源供應裝置的電源供應單元,作為相鄰或其他電源供應裝置的備份電源,而有效地達成電源分享和管理。此外,需特別說明的是,電源供應裝置自另一電源供應裝置所接收之電源,除了可以直接提供給系統內各元件使用外,也可依據產品的運用需求,而在電源供應裝置仍可正常供電的狀況下,將所接收之電源預先儲存於一電力儲存單元,待需要備用電源時,再啟用該電力存儲單元所儲存之電源,或者電源供應裝置僅於特定的情況下,才作為另一電源供應裝置的備用電源,例如是,當電源供應裝置之電源供應單元故障,而無法提供電力時,始導入另一電源供應裝置的電源。Therefore, with the hardware architecture described above, the power supply unit of each power supply device can be used as a backup power source for an adjacent or other power supply device, thereby effectively achieving power sharing and management. In addition, it should be specially stated that the power supply received by the power supply device from another power supply device can be directly supplied to various components in the system, and can also be used according to the application requirements of the product. In the case of power supply, the received power source is pre-stored in a power storage unit, and when the standby power source is needed, the power stored by the power storage unit is enabled, or the power supply device is only used as another under certain circumstances. The backup power source of the power supply device is, for example, a power source that is introduced to another power supply device when the power supply unit of the power supply device fails and power cannot be supplied.
