Abstract

Claims (17)

1 . A power source automatic transfer device, comprising:

a first power source input end;

a second power source input end;

an auxiliary power supply unit whose electric energy is acquired from a first power source or a second power source;

a device output end connected to a load;

a power source switchover unit including a control unit and a power source switchover switch, the power source switchover switch including a first power source switchover switch and a second power source switchover switch, wherein a first input end of the first power source switchover switch and a first input end of the second power source switchover switch are respectively connected to the first power source input end and the second power source input end, a second input end of the first power source switchover switch and a second input end of the second power source switchover switch are both connected to an output end of the auxiliary power supply unit, and an output end of the first power source switchover switch and an output end of the second power source switchover switch are connected with the device output end; and

a detection unit which is connected to the first power source input end and the second power source input end to detect the first power source and the second power source in real time so as to determine whether the first power source and the second power source fail,

wherein in response to the detection unit determining that the first power source does not fail, the control unit controls the first power source to supply power to the load, and in response to the detection unit determining that the first power source fails, the control unit controls the first power source switchover switch to open its first input end connected with the first power source and close its second input end connected with the auxiliary power supply unit, and controls the second power source switchover switch to close its first output end connected with the second power source so as to cause the second power source to supply power to the load and disconnect its second input end connected with the auxiliary power supply unit, so that a transfer is made from supplying power to the load by the first power source to supplying power to the load by the second power source.

2 . The power source automatic transfer device according to claim 1 , wherein in response to the detection unit determining that a fault of the first power source is eliminated, the control unit controls the second power source switchover switch to open its first input end connected with the second power source and close its second input end connected with the auxiliary power supply unit, and controls the first power source switchover switch to close its first input end connected with the first power source so as to cause the first power source to supply power to the load and open its second input end connected with the auxiliary power supply unit, so that a transfer is made from supplying power to the load by the second power source to supplying power to the load by the first power source.

3 . The power source automatic transfer device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit controls the first power source switchover switch, the second power source switchover switch and the auxiliary power supply unit so as to continuously supply power to the load by the first power source or the second power source via the auxiliary power supply unit.

4 . The power source automatic transfer device according to claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary power supply unit includes a first power selection switch, a second power selection switch, a rectifier unit and an inverter unit, and

wherein, an output end of the inverter unit is used as the output end of the auxiliary power supply unit, an input end of the inverter unit is connected to an output end of the rectifier unit, the first power selection switch is connected between the first power source input end and an input end of the rectifier unit, and the second power selection switch is connected between the second power source input and the input end of the rectifier unit;

wherein, the control unit controlling the first power source to supply power to the load comprises controlling to turn off the first power selection switch and turn on the second power selection switch;

wherein, the control unit controlling the second power source to supply power to the load comprises controlling to turn off the second power selection switch and turn on the first power selection switch.

5 . The power source automatic transfer device according to claim 1 , wherein a control end of the first power source switchover switch and a control end of the second power source switchover switch are connected with the control unit.

6 . The power source automatic transfer device according to claim 1 , wherein the first power source and the second power source are Alternating Current power sources.

7 . The power source automatic transfer device according to claim 1 , wherein both the first power source switchover switch and the second power source switchover switch are double-pole double-throw switches.
