The present invention relates to a portable controller, and in particular to a portable controller with a replaceable module.
The prior art portable devices could be broadly classified into devices for wide area use purpose and devices for specific use purpose. The former, for example, is a notebook computer, and the latter, for example, is a miniature gas detection and purification device which is portable for monitoring air quality and purifying the air surrounding the user.
Generally, devices for wide area use purpose such as notebook computers; have larger volumes than the devices for specific use purpose. In general use, maybe users can endure such defects, while in special conditions, such as transmission towers, small submerged diving chambers, computer rooms with densely arranged wires, due to the limitation of space or weight, the user cannot use devices for wide area; use purpose, such as notebook computers.
Although portable devices for specific use purpose have lighter weight and smaller volume than currently used notebook computers, the uses of these devices are confined. This defect will cause that the users cannot work conveniently, or the user must further carry other portable devices of different functions. As a result, the overall space and weight needed are increased.
Therefore, it is known that the currently used portable devices are not suitable for the wide area use purpose due to the limitation of space and weight. As a result, there is an eager demand for a novel portable controller with a replaceable module, which could improve the defects in the prior art, while provides convenience to users.
Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide a portable controller with a replaceable module, which can achieve the object of wide area use purpose with the limitation of finite space and weight.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a portable controller with a replaceable module, wherein the functional module is replaceable so as to achieve the object of wide area use purpose.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a portable controller with a replaceable module, which provides a power arrangement fitted to the functional module so as to be used for different functional modules, as a result, the present invention can be used in wide area use purpose.
A yet object of the present invention is to provide a portable controller with a replaceable module, which can reversely control the power source.
To achieve above object, the present invention provides a portable controller with a replaceable module comprising: a main body (10) having a touchable display screen (11); a control system (20) installed within the main body (10); a power supply system (30) installed within the main body (10) and connected to the control system (20) for detecting and adjusting the power supply; and a functional module (40) detachably connected to the main body (10) for providing data; wherein the control system (20) serving for displaying data related to the functional module (40) on the touchable display screen (11); and the functional module (40) is controllable through the touchable display screen (11).
The power supply system (30) includes a power arrangement detection module (31) and a voltage adjustment module (32); the power arrangement detection module (31) is used to detect the power arrangement of the functional module (40); and the voltage adjustment module (32) is used to the adjust voltage to be matched to the power arrangement of the functional module (40).
The power arrangement detection module (31) includes a reverse power controller (311) for reversely controlling a power source POW.
The main body (10) further includes two power outputs P1 and P2; one power output P1 serving for providing bypass mode power output, and another power output P2 serving for providing power output after adjustment;
The functional module (40) is selected from an environmental sensor, an audio device, a video device, a wireless communication device, a positioning device (or tracker), a programmable memory, a battery charger/discharger, and a thermoelectric converter.
The main body (10) further includes an analog input/output interface or a digital input/output interface.
The main body (10) further includes a communication interface CIO.
The communication interface CIO is selected from an Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus (I2C Bus) interface, a universal asynchronous receiving and transmitting interface, a serial peripheral interface (SPI), a secure digital input/output interface (SDIO), a recommended standard interface, a controller area network bus (CAN bus) interface and a universal serial bus (USB) interface.
The main body (10) further includes a single power output, which serves for providing bypass mode power output or power output after adjustment.
In order that those skilled in the art can further understand the present invention, a description will be provided in the following in details. However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.

The structure of the present invention includes a main body 10 and a functional module 40 which is detachably connected with the main body 10 for providing data. The main body 10 serves to display data from the functional module 40 and control the functional module 40.
The functional module 40 may be an environmental sensor, an audio device, a video device, a wireless communication device, a positioning device (or tracker), a programmable memory, a battery charger/discharger, or a thermoelectric converter. The environmental sensor, for instance, is a sensor for temperature, humidity, atmosphere pressure, carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds, particulate matters (PM 2. 5), etc. The wireless communication device, for example, is a communication device of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, etc. The positioning device, for instance, is a device for positioning of GPS, Wi-Fi, mobile network, etc. The programmable memory is, for instance, is an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), flash memory, etc. Thereby, by replacing different functional module, a portable controller with replaceable modules of the present invention is achieved with wide area use purpose.
The main body 10 may be connected to a personal computer or an adapter so as to be used more widely. When the main body 10 is connected to a personal computer or a notebook computer, the main body 10 could be connected with the functional module 40 which can be connected with, read data from, or bidirectionally control a portable controller with replaceable module by using programming languages, such as Python, Java, etc. By replacing a functional module of different functions, the personal computer or notebook computer could have the function provided by the functional module 40.
