    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • Please refer to FIG. 1 for a block diagram according to one embodiment of the present invention showing a synchronizing circuitry for AC-DC switch mode power supplies. As shown, the synchronizing circuitry comprises a master control circuit 10, two slave control circuits 20 and two communication interfaces 30.
  • The master control circuit 10 has a first controller 11. In the present embodiment, the first controller 11 is a pulse width modulation (PWM) controller configured to perform synchronous control to the switching frequencies of multiple AC-DC switch mode power supplies. The first controller 11 further has a first transmitting end 111 and a first receiving end 112. The first transmitting end 111 and the first receiving end 112 are respectively connected to a first selector switch 12. The first selector switch 12 has a second transmitting end 1231 and a second receiving end 1232. The first selector switch 12 further has a first synchronizing end 1211, a second synchronizing end 1221, a first communicating end 1212, and a second communicating end 1222. Therein, the second transmitting end 1231 is selectively connected to either the first synchronizing end 1211 or the first communicating end 1212, and the second receiving end 1232 is selectively connected to either the second synchronizing end 1221 or the second communicating end 1222. The first selector switch 12 is connected to the first transmitting end 111 and the first receiving end 112 through the first synchronizing end 1211 and the second synchronizing end 1221, respectively. The second transmitting end 1231 and the second receiving end 1232 are further connected to a first connecting port 131 and a second connecting port 132. The first connecting port 131 and the second connecting port 132 are configured to have connection with the communication interfaces as described below.
  • The two slave control circuits 20 include a first slave control circuit 201 and a second slave control circuit 202. The slave control circuits 20 have a second controller 21. In the present embodiment, the second controller 21 is a pulse width modulation controller. The second controller 21 further has a third transmitting end 211 and a third receiving end 212. The third transmitting end 211 and the third receiving end 212 are respectively connected to a second selector switch 22. The second selector switch 22 has a fourth transmitting end 2231 and a fourth receiving end 2232. The second selector switch 22 further has a third synchronizing end 2211, a fourth synchronizing end 2221, a third communicating end 2212, and a fourth communicating end 2222. Therein, the fourth transmitting end 2231 is selectively connected to either the third synchronizing end 2211 or the third communicating end 2212, and the fourth receiving end 2232 is selectively connected to either the fourth synchronizing end 2221 or the fourth communicating end 2222. The second selector switch 22 is connected to the third transmitting end 211 and the third receiving end 212 through the third synchronizing end 2211 and the fourth synchronizing end 2221, respectively. The fourth transmitting end 2231 and the fourth receiving end 2232 are further connected to a third connecting port 231 and a fourth connecting port 232, respectively. The third connecting port 231 and the fourth connecting port 232 are configured to have connection with the communication interfaces as described below.
  • The two communication interfaces 30 include a first communication interface 301 and a second communication interface 302. The first communication interface 301 spans between the first connecting port 131 of the master control circuit 10 and the fourth connecting port 232 of the first slave control circuit 201, thereby connecting the master control circuit 10 and the first slave control circuit 201 together. The second communication interface 302 has its one end connected to the third connecting port 231 of the first slave control circuit 201, and an opposite end connected to the fourth connecting port 232 of the second slave control circuit 202, thereby connecting the first slave control circuit 201 and the second slave control circuit 202. In the same manner, one slave control circuit is connected to the other slave control circuit through a communication interface, so that the slave control circuits 20 are connected in series, and the slave control circuits 20 are connected to the master control circuit 10 through the communication interfaces 30. In the present embodiment, the communication interface 30 is an RS-485 serial communication interface. However, this is one non-limiting embodiment of the present invention. In other embodiments, the communication interface 30 may be an RS-422 serial communication interface, an RS-232 serial communication interface or other serial communication interfaces.
  • Still referring to FIG. 1, in the synchronizing circuitry, the first communication interface 301 has one end inserted into the first connecting port 131 of the master control circuit 10, and the other end inserted into the fourth connecting port 232 of the first slave control circuit 201. The second communication interface 302 has one end inserted into the third connecting port 231 of the first slave control circuit 201, and the other end inserted into the fourth connecting port 232 of the second slave control circuit 202. When the first selector switch 12 is such set that the first synchronizing end 1211 is connected to the second transmitting end 1231, and the second synchronizing end 1221 is connected to the second receiving end 1232, while the second selector switch 22 is also such set that the third synchronizing end 2211 is connected to the fourth transmitting end 2231, and the fourth synchronizing end 2221 is connected to the fourth receiving end 2232, the communication interfaces 30 connect the master control circuit 10 and the slave control circuits 20 in series, so that the master control circuit 10 can send it control signal through the communication interfaces 30 to the slave control circuits 20, thereby making the slaves to act synchronously with the master. In other words, these communication interfaces allow the desired master-slave control among the master and the slaves. Furthermore, with the communication interfaces 30, the connection among the master control circuit 10 and the slave control circuits 20 can be established on the existing communication loops. When the master performs master-slave control on the slaves, the slaves have synchronous connection with the master, thereby significantly mitigating electromagnetic interference and noise during the master-slave control, and significantly improving the efficiency of signal transmission during the master-slave control. As a result, the master-slave control is more responsive.
  • Additionally, the communication interfaces allow the master control circuit 10 and the slave control circuits 20 to be connected with their existing communication loops, so the synchronizing circuitry is capable of performing other kind of signal transmission in addition to master-slave control, helping to minimize the interfaces and wiring required among the master and the slaves.
  • Referring to FIG. 2, when the synchronizing circuitry is to be used for signal transmission, it can be easily prepared by such setting the first selector switch 12 and the second selector switch 22 that, in the first selector switch 12, the first communicating end 1212 is connected to the second transmitting end 1231, and the second communicating end 1222 is connected to the second receiving end 1232, and, in the second selector switch 22, the third communicating end 2212 is connected to the fourth transmitting end 2231, and the fourth communicating end 2222 is connected to the fourth receiving end 2232. In this state, the synchronizing circuitry can use the communication interfaces for signal transmission.
  • To sum up, the present invention has the following features and expected effects.
  • With the communication interfaces, the connection among the master control circuit and the slave control circuits can be established on the existing communication loops. When the master performs master-slave control on the slaves, the slaves have synchronous connection with the master, thereby significantly mitigating electromagnetic interference and noise during the master-slave control, and significantly improving the efficiency of signal transmission during the master-slave control. As a result, the master-slave control is more responsive.
