Abstract

This disclosure is a power supply device including a device body, a fan assembly, an illuminated handle assembly and shock-absorbing fastening elements. The fan assembly is combined in the device body and includes a bracket and a fan, and the bracket includes through holes. The illuminated handle assembly includes a handle, an electrical connecting element, and light-emitting elements. The handle is combined on the bracket and attached to the light-emitting element. The light-emitting element is electrically connected to the electrical connecting element. Each shock-absorbing fastening element is disposed in the fan assembly by each through hole to fix the light-emitting element on a side of the bracket facing the handle. The power supply device controls the light-emitting element through the electrical connecting element. Therefore, the vibration and noise generated during the operation of the fan assembly are reduced, and a power supply device combined with an illuminated handle is provided.
