Patent Application
20160328280
The subject matter herein generally relates to electronic devices, and particularly to an electronic device with an emergency power supply.
A server can be configured to provide for data storage. The storage of data can be within the physical server itself or in separate devices. Each server includes a plurality of hard disk devices to store data. If one of the hard disk devices fails and needs to be repaired, the individual drive must be located and removed.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features. The description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “coupled” is defined as connected, whether directly or indirectly through intervening components, and is not necessarily limited to physical connections. The connection can be such that the objects are permanently coupled or releasably coupled. The term “comprising” means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in a so-described combination, group, series and the like.
The present disclosure is described in relation to an electronic device.
In at least one embodiment, the electronic device 100 is a server, and the emergency power supply 57 is a lithium battery.
When the detection system 50 operates, the detection device 51 detects the places, models, and failure and other data of the hard disk devices 20 every two seconds, and transmit the above data to the controller 53. The controller 53 receives the date from the detection device 51, stores the date received from the detection device 51 to the storage unit 531, and transmits the data to the driving unit 552 of the display device 55. The driving unit 552 drives the display unit 556 to display the data received from the controller 53. When the power supply 70 is turned off, the hard disk devices 20 and the detection device 51 stop working, and the emergency power supply 57 maintains supplying power to the controller 53 and the display device 55. The controller 53 stores data received at last time from the detection device 51, before the detection device 51 being powered off, to the storage unit 531, and transmits the data to the driving unit 552. The driving unit 552 drives the display unit 556 to display the data. The hard disk devices 20 are repaired according to the data displayed by the display device 55.
In use, the power supply 70 supplies power to the hard disk devices 20 and the detection device 51, and the hard disk devices 20 and the detection device 51 operate. The power supply 70 further supplies power to the emergency power supply 57 through the charging circuit 58. The emergency power supply 57 supplies power to the controller 53 and the display device 55. When the display device 55 displays one or more of the hard disk devices 20 fail, the power supply 70 is turned off, and the hard disk devices 20 and the detection device 51 to be interrupted. The emergency power supply 57 maintains supplying power to the controller 53 and the display device 55. The controller 53 transmits data received from the detection device 51 at last time to the driving unit 552, and the driving unit 552 drives the display unit 556 displaying the data. The one or more hard disk devices 20 are repaired according to the data displayed by the display device 55. Therefore, it is convenient to repair the hard disk devices 20.
In other embodiments, the detection device 51 detects the places, models, and failures and other data of the hard disk devices 20, and transmits the data to the controller 53 every three seconds, one seconds, or any seconds.
Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the embodiments, the present disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, including in the matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the embodiments to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
