  • Publication number: 20150380986
    Abstract: The system contains a first operation module connected to AC mains and a second operation module connected to a lighting device. The first operation module contains an activation switch, a first electricity detection unit, and a wireless transmitter. The second operation module contains a second electricity detection unit, a reset switch, and a wireless receiver. The first and second operation modules communicate through the wireless transmitter and receiver. When electricity provision is normal, the second operation module plays a dominant role in a wired mode. When the activation switch is engaged, the second operation module releases the dominant role to the first operation module, where the uninterruptible power supply system enters a wireless mode. To switch back to the wired mode, the second operation module is reset by the reset switch. The uninterruptible power supply system as such can be freely alternated between the wired and wireless modes.

  • Publication number: 20140021788
    Abstract: An uninterrupted power supply and detection device wherein a light fixture operates with and is coupled to a driving and linking module and a power supply wire. The driving and linking module connected to the power supply wire can sense a voltage state on the power supply wire. At this time, operation of the light fixture can be controlled by a wired or wireless switch of a control unit. When the voltage state is abnormal, the electricity detecting unit set in the driving and linking module can detect a signal representing abnormal power supply. Thereby, backup power can be supplied for driving emergency illumination of a light emitting element of the light fixture. Accordingly, original operation performed in a general power supply system can be kept and backup power can be supplied to keep illumination of the light fixture when the normal power supply is interrupted.

  • Publication number: 20120104855
    Abstract: The un-interruptible power supply system mainly contains an electricity detection device and a power supplying module. The electricity detection diction is connected to the in-house wiring and detects the state of electricity on the in-house wiring. If abnormality is detected, a wireless transmitter in the electricity detection device would radiate a wireless signal indicating such an abnormality. A wireless receiver in the power supplying module would receive the wireless signal and thereby activate auxiliary power provisioning. As such, the present invention is able to accurately maintain product operation as long as the power provisioning from the in-house wiring is normal, and to sustain the power provisioning precisely when there is a black out.

    Abstract: The uninterruptible power supply and detection device contains a power detection member and a power supply member, both connected to a house mains. The power detection member contains an AC (alternate current) transformer, a power detection unit, and a wireless transmitter. The power supply member is configured with an electronic device and contains a power supply unit, a wireless receiver, a driver unit, and a charger unit. The power detection member continues to transmit control signal to the power supply member within a coverage range as long as electricity is detected on the house mains. When the power detection member does not detect electricity and stops transmitting control signal, the power supply member switches the electronic device to receive electricity from the power supply unit so that electronic device could continue its operation.

  • Publication number: 20110128717
    Abstract: An uninterruptible illuminator includes primarily a wireless transmitter and an illuminating drive module. The illuminating drive module contains wireless receivers, a drive module, a power supply device and a recharging device. The wireless transmitter transmits a result that a power signal is detected to the wireless receivers and continues providing the wireless receivers with a message whether the power signal is available, in a certain range of transmission. If the wireless receivers cannot receive the power signal, then the drive module which is connected with the wireless receivers will activate the power supply device to produce electricity to drive a lamp-set to continue producing light. Therefore, by the aforementioned structures, an original operating method in an ordinary power supply system can be maintained; and at a same time, a state of illumination of the illuminator can be maintained.
