Abstract

An improved power supply transmission cord to filter out high frequency noises, ripples and noises between a power supply and the connecting peripheral devices such as a VGA card, HDD, RAM, CDROM, DVD and the like. A metal member is provided to surround the transmission cord to filter out the high frequency noises, and a condenser is provided to bridge two conductive wires to filter out the ripples and noises.

Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to an improved power supply transmission cord to filter out high frequency noises, ripples and noises occurred between the power supply and peripheral devices such as VGA cards, HDD, RAM, CDROM, DVD and the like.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The power supply in a computer is connected to other peripheral devices such as VGA cards, HDD, RAM, CDROM, DVD and the like through a power supply transmission cord to deliver electric power. The stability of the transmission cord is very important. When the power supply delivers electric power, ripples and noises often occur. On the other hand, signal transmission of the VGA card generates high frequency noises. The power supply transmission cords now on the market to connect the power supply of the computer and the peripheral devices such as the VGA cards, HDD, RAM, CDROM, DVD and the like do not have any apparatus to filter out high frequency noises and ripples and other noises. As a result, the screen often has undesirable display such as snow flakes or skewed lines. This could shorten the life span of the peripheral devices such as the VGA cards, HDD, RAM, CDROM, DVD and the screen. Display quality of the screen also is affected.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The aforesaid problem remains unsolved heretofore. Moreover, due to rapid growth of online games and computer games, demands for high-end VGA and high speed and large capacity HDD increase constantly, an improved power supply transmission cord is urgently needed to overcome the problem mentioned above.
  • Therefore the primary object of the invention is to provide an improved power supply transmission cord that has a metal member and a condenser on the power supply transmission cord between the power supply and peripheral devices such as VGA cards, HDD, RAM, CDROM, DVD and the like to filter out high frequency noises, ripples and noises. The metal member is coupled on the outside of the power supply transmission line and the condenser is located between two conductive wires so that the metal member can filter out the high frequency noises and the condenser can filter out the ripples and noises.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an improved power supply transmission cord that can selectively and independently provide on the power supply transmission cord a metal member to filter out high frequency noises or a condenser to filter out ripples and noises between the power supply and peripheral devices such as VGA cards, HDD, RAM, CDROM, DVD and the like according requirements.
  • The foregoing, as well as additional objects, features and advantages of the invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an embodiment of the invention.

    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • Please referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the improved power supply transmission cord 1 according to the invention mainly aims to connect a power supply 80 to peripheral devices such as a VGA card 90, HDD, RAM, CDROM, DVD and the like. The power supply transmission cord 1 has a metal member 2 to filter out high frequency noises and a condenser 3 to filter out ripples and noises. The power supply transmission cord 1 includes at least two conductive wires 11 and 12 and a coupling terminal 13 on one end of the conductive wires 11 and 12. The condenser 3 is electrically connected to the conductive wires 11 and 12 close to the coupling terminal 13 (the number of the conductive wires 11 and 12 depends on the specification of the power supply transmission cord 1. The coupling terminal 13 may be a single-layer coupling terminal 13 as shown in FIG. 7, or a double-layer coupling terminal 14 as shown in FIG. 8 according to the specification of the power supply transmission cord 1). The metal member 2 may be a hub formed by a metal sheet or a winding metal coil 2′ (as shown in FIG. 2) to cover the power supply transmission cord 1, and encased and anchored by an insulation member 21 to filter out the high frequency noises. The condenser 3 consists of an electrolytic condenser 31 and a ceramic condenser 32 to filter out the ripples and noises. Refer to FIGS. 3 and 4 for the invention in use and the comparison of results being generated. The power supply 80 delivers electric power to the VGA card 90, HDD, RAM, CDROM, DVD and the like through the power supply transmission cord 1. The ripples and noises generated during electric power transmission are filtered out by the condenser 3 located between the two conductive wires 11 and 12 so that the power supply is more stable (as shown in FIG. 4). On the other hand, the high frequency noises generated by the peripheral devices such as the VGA card 90, HDD, RAM, CDROM, DVD and the like and transmitted to the power supply 80 are filtered out by the metal member 2. Therefore power supply quality of the power supply 80 and display quality of the peripheral devices such as the VGA card 90, HDD, RAM, CDROM, DVD and the like improve. Undesirable display phenomenon such as snow flakes or skewed lines also can be prevented on the peripheral devices such as the VGA card 90, HDD, RAM, CDROM, DVD and the like. The life span of the peripheral devices such as the VGA card 90, HDD, RAM, CDROM, DVD and the like also increases, and the display quality of the screen is enhanced.
  • While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been set forth for the purpose of disclosure, modifications of the disclosed embodiments of the invention as well as other embodiments thereof may occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the appended claims are intended to cover all embodiments which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.
