SUPER CAPACITOR AIDED UNINTERRUPTED POWER SUPPLY DEVICE

Abstract

An uninterrupted power system for providing power to fire extinguishing systems of vehicles, and for providing continued operation without being influenced by the power supply. A micro processor controlled smart control circuit provided in the device tracks and controls the active power supply voltage of the systems continuously. In case the active power source voltage is above an upper threshold level or under a lower threshold level, it turns on and supplies the system via super capacitors. The action of turning on is automatically performed by the control circuit. In case voltage goes under the upper threshold level or above the lower threshold level, the system's power supply goes into on status immediately and it is checked in a specified time to determine whether or not such change arose from voltage fluctuations. If the change is stable during a lapsing period and is at normal voltage levels, the power source is restarted.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] In this detailed description, the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described without any restrictive effects but only for purpose of better understanding of the matter.

[0027] The device disclosed under the invention provides operation of systems needing uninterrupted power supply with no influence to be caused by power cuts, and primarily fire extinguishing systems. A micro processor controlled smart control circuit (9) provided in the device tracks and controls active power supply voltage of said systems continuously. Under the invention, two threshold voltage levels are observed. These levels are called the upper threshold level and the lower threshold level. The level between the upper and lower threshold voltage levels is referred to as normal operation voltage In case the active power source voltage is above the upper threshold level or under the lower threshold level, it turns on in a period of 1 ms and shorter time and supplies the system via the super capacitor (8) it comprises. The action of turning on is automatically performed by the control circuit (9). In case voltage goes under the upper threshold level or above the lower threshold level, the system's power supply goes into on status immediately and it is checked in a specified time to check whether or not such change arises from voltage fluctuations. If the change is stable during the lapsing time and is at normal voltage levels, the power source goes into on status in a 1 ms or shorter time period. Continued control by the device provides operation of the system without need for personnel.

[0028] Transition between the power source and the super capacitor (8) is provided by software decision mechanisms in the control circuit (9). In case of discharge of the super capacitor (8) or if it goes under a specified threshold voltage level, then the control circuit (9) is recharged via the power source of super capacitors (8). When the super capacitors (8) are fully charged, the control circuit (9) stops recharging automatically.

[0029] Components located on device body (5) are as follows: [0030] Switch (6): Control power in the system (un/off). Thus it is ensured to conduct maintenance to be required in the unit (vehicle etc.) where the system is in a safe way and not causing any undesired activation by the system. [0031] Protective lid (1): Is located around the switch (6) and functions as prevention of intervention that can be made to switch (6) without intention. [0032] Status lights (7): Preferably LED light sources indicating whether the system is supplied by the power source or the super capacitors (8). [0033] Leakproof gasket (10): Located between the device body (5) and the rear lid (11) and protecting the super capacitors (8) and the control circuit (9) against agents in the medium. Similarly it prevents entrance of electromagnetic waves into device body (5) and exit from device body (5). [0034] Flange (4): Provides mounting device body (5) in the area where system is located. [0035] Power output (2) and power input (3): Are the sockets where cable connections are made.
