Power selection system for air conditioner

Abstract

A power selection system is provided for an air conditioning system, including a power selection device, an interface unit, and an air conditioner. The power selection device includes a distribution selector and an uninterrupted power supply device. The distribution selector is arranged inside the uninterrupted power supply device. The distribution selector controls selection of power input of the power selection device among multiple power sources. The interface unit is connected to the power selection device. The air conditioner includes a power system, which is connected to the interface unit. As such, the system, as a whole, can be arranged in accordance with the user's need to receive a power input or a combination of multiple power inputs selected from multiple power sources in different periods of time and is fit for air conditioners of different brands available in the market.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a power selection system for an air conditioner, and in particular to a system comprising a combination of a power selection device, an interface unit and an air conditioner, wherein the power selection device comprises a distribution selector for receiving and selecting among multiple power sources, including both alternate-current (AC) power sources and direct-current (DC) power source, to supply a selectively, combined power to the air conditioner to thereby feature multiple selections of power input, so as to be applicable to private and public places, such as home, office, and markets, to serve as air conditioning facility thereof.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Conventionally, an air conditioner is powered by electrical main. However, with the change of the philosophy of power consumption, various substitute and sustainable power sources are now being proposed, including hydraulic power generation, wind power genera...

Benefits of technology

[0005]An objective of the present invention is to provide a power selection system for an air conditioner, which features a combination of a power selection device, an interface unit, and an air conditioner, wherein the power selection device comprises a selection distributor that controls selection of power inputs, which can be either direct-current (DC) power sources or alternate-current (AC) power sources so that power supplied to the air conditioner is from a different power source or a combination of multiple power sources selected from various power sources in different periods of time in accordance with preset arrangement done by a user to there enhance the practicability of the present invention.

[0006]Another objective of the present invention is to provide a power selection system for an air conditioner, which features a combination of a power selection device, an interface unit, and an air conditioner, wherein the interface unit comprises electrical receptacles formed in accordance with power systems of various air conditioners so that the power selection system of the present invention is fit for air conditioners of various brands available in the market to thereby enhance the convenience of the present invention.

Problems solved by technology

Apparently, the electric main is no longer an idea power source to suit the need of the future market.

Apparently, an additional processing that converts the AC power into the DC power is required for the inverter air conditioner and due to the fact that the conversion from the AC power to the DC power is a low efficiency process, using the electrical main to power the inverter air conditioner is economically less efficient.
