  • Patent number: 10498222
    Abstract: A power supply includes a rectifying circuit, a power converting circuit, and a snubber circuit. The rectifying circuit is configured to convert an ac input voltage to a first dc voltage. The power converting circuit is electrically coupled to the rectifying circuit at a node. The power converting circuit includes a switching element and is configured to convert the first dc voltage to a second dc voltage by selectively turning on or off the switching element. The snubber circuit is electrically coupled to the rectifying circuit and the power converting circuit at the node. When the first dc voltage is higher than a limiting level, the snubber circuit is configured to absorb the electricity power to prevent the voltage across the switching element from exceeding a safety upper limit.

  • Publication number: 20190103816
    Abstract: A power conversion device includes a transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding, a switch coupled between the primary winding and a primary ground, a control circuit configured to output a control signal to turn on or off the switch selectively, a secondary circuit coupled to the secondary winding and configured to output an output voltage, a voltage regulating feedback circuit coupled to the secondary circuit, and an isolation circuit coupled between the voltage regulating feedback circuit and the control circuit. On the condition that the output voltage is greater than an upper limit, the voltage regulating feedback circuit is configured to output a feedback signal via the isolation circuit to the control circuit such that the control circuit turns off the switch.

  • Publication number: 20170211591
    Abstract: An impeller having a solidified ultraviolet-curing adhesive, a fan having the impeller, and an impeller weight-balancing method are provided to solve the problems of the conventional impeller weight-balancing method as the conventional method can only be used with the impeller having high production complexity and manufacturing cost and has a low operational efficiency and a low weight-balancing precision. In addition to the solidified ultraviolet-curing adhesive, the impeller further includes a shaft, a hub and an air-driving unit. The hub is coupled with the shaft. The air-driving unit is coupled with the hub. The solidified ultraviolet-curing adhesive is coupled with a surface of the air-driving unit.
