CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATION 
     This application is a divisional of U.S. Ser. No. 13/846,537 filed on Mar. 18, 2013, which claims priority to Korean Patent Application Nos. 10-2012-0089039, filed on Aug. 14, 2012, and 10-2012-0141809, filed on Dec. 7, 2012, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to an alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) power supply device, and more particularly, to an AC-DC switching mode power supply (SMPS) device, in which a normal power source applied from the outside is converted to an AC voltage or a DC voltage having a predetermined voltage level and is transmitted to a load without an additional wiring, and in which not only AC but also DC is supplied to the load by using normal power and power of a solar cell; particularly, the power of the solar cell is first supplied as DC power or residual power remaining after charging a battery is converted to AC via an inverter to replace the AC power of the normal power source or to allow the power to be transmitted to the outside. Accordingly, AC and DC power may be supplied simultaneously, and moreover, power of the solar cell may be efficiently used. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     As the energy and environment crisis has recently increased, power production by using alternative energy sources such as power produced by solar cells and the efficient use of power are emphasized, and the use of solar cells in homes is a trend on the increase. Moreover, techniques for manufacturing power supply devices that are capable of using energy effectively and efficiently by total power management are also increasingly being developed. 
     In general, a normal power supply consists of a HOT wire (+) via which a high voltage-level AC power is supplied, a neutral wire (−) via which a relatively low voltage-level power is supplied compared to the HOT wire (+), and a ground wire GND provided to prevent harm to humans due to an electric shock or an electric leakage. However, it is difficult to use DC power directly from the normal power supply without a power converter that is suitable for various loading capacities. 
     Some electric appliances, such as an air conditioner, a washing machine, or a refrigerator, require AC power, but there are also products which use DC power by converting AC power. Most DC power produced by solar cells is converted to AC power for use. 
     Due to switching loss in converters or inverters for converting AC power to DC power or DC power to AC power, however, loss in power conversion is caused. 
     However, an AC-DC power supply device according to an embodiment of the present invention may be useful as follows. 
     For example, since the time range of power consumption is highly concentrated depending on the types of use, homes may conclude a certain contract with a power supply company to transmit a predetermined amount of power that is generated by using solar cells during the daytime to the power supply company via, for example, a grid line connection, and the power may be supplied to industrial or commercial facilities during the time range when a high power consumption is required, and at night when a large amount of power is used temporarily, a portion of the power produced by the solar cells at homes and charged thereby may be used. Consequently, the AC-DC power supply device according to an embodiment of the present invention may function like a huge battery. 
     KR 2012-0089039, filed by the inventors prior to the present application, discloses an AC-DC power supply device in which a normal power source and a battery are used to simultaneously supply AC and DC power. However, as described above, a system allowing efficient use of an alternative power source generated by a solar cell is additionally required.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     As the invention allows for various changes and numerous embodiments, particular embodiments will be illustrated in the drawings and described in detail in the written description. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to particular modes of practice, and it is to be appreciated that all changes, equivalents, and substitutes that do not depart from the spirit and technical scope of the present invention are encompassed in the present invention. Like reference numerals in the drawings denote like elements. 
     While particulars such as details elements are described below, these are provided for overall understanding of the present invention, and it should be noted that the invention may also be implemented without these particulars. 
     In the description of the present invention, certain detailed explanations of the related art or structures are omitted when it is deemed that they may unnecessarily obscure the essence of the invention. 
     A power supply is typically classified into a linear type power supply and a switching type power supply. 
     A switching type power supply device, which is also referred to as a switching mode power supply (SMPS) device, first converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC), and then converts the DC into high-frequency AC of several tens of KHz, and drops a voltage of the AC by using a high-frequency transformer such as a Ferrite transformer, and then rectifies and smoothes the AC whose voltage is dropped to thereby obtain a required power. 
     Since a small capacity of a transformer or a capacitor is allowed in the switching type power supply device, the efficiency of the switching type power supply device is generally better than that of the linear type power supply device. Although the switching type power supply device includes complex peripheral components and noise is generated when switching is conducted, since the efficiency of the switching type power supply device is higher than a linear type, the SMPS device is selected for not only large charging batteries used in TVs, PCs, or laptops but also in small rechargeable batteries. 
     According to the present invention, a power supply device capable of generating not only normal power in the form of AC power having a required voltage level but also DC power by using the SMPS device and a battery is provided. 
       FIG. 1  is a circuit diagram of a power supply device  100  according to an embodiment of the present invention. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1 , the power supply device  100  includes a capacitor C 1 , a first switch SW 1 , a second switch SW 2 , a rechargeable battery  120 , and an SMPS device  110 . The power supply device  100  converts normal power that is applied through a hot wire L 1 , a neutral wire L 2 , and a ground wire L 3  to supply AC power between the hot wire L 1  and the neutral wire L 2  and between the hot wire L 1  and the ground wire L 3  and DC power between a conversion neutral wire L 2 - 1  and the ground wire L 3 . 
     The capacitor C 1  includes a first terminal connected to the neutral wire L 2  and a second terminal connected to the conversion neutral wire L 2 - 1 . The first switch SW 1  is connected parallel to the capacitor C 1 . A first terminal of the second switch SW 2  is connected to the conversion neutral wire L 2 - 1 . 
     The rechargeable battery  120  includes a positive (+) terminal that is connected to a second terminal of the second switch SW 2  and a negative (−) terminal that is connected to the ground wire L 3 . 
     The SMPS device  110  converts power applied to the hot wire L 1  to DC power having a predetermined voltage level and supplies the same to a common terminal of the second switch SW 2  and the rechargeable battery  120 , a DC power negative terminal connected to the conversion neutral wire L 2 - 1 , and the ground wire L 3 . 
     The capacitor C 1  allows the AC power applied to the neutral wire L 2  to pass through the conversion neutral wire L 2 - 1  but blocks the DC power applied to the conversion neutral wire L 2 - 1  from flowing to the neutral wire L 2 . 
     A voltage level of the rechargeable battery  120  may be determined depending on where power is used. The voltage level of the rechargeable battery  120  may be preferably, for example, 12 V or 24 V. In order to increase a use capacity of the rechargeable battery  120 , a desired number of rechargeable batteries may be connected in parallel. 
     While normal power is being applied, the rechargeable battery  120  stores electrical energy, and when a power failure occurs, the electrical energy stored in the rechargeable battery  120  is supplied to connected electric appliances. 
     A left side of the power supply device  100  of  FIG. 1  indicates outdoors to which normal power AC input is supplied, and a right side of the power supply device  100  indicates indoors where normal power AC INPUT is converted to supply AC power between the hot wire L 1  and the neutral wire L 2  via the ground wire L 3  that is connected to the neutral wire L 2  and to supply DC power between the conversion neutral wire L 2 - 1  and the ground wire L 3 . 
     The first switch SW 1  is used to protect a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp which receives power from the conversion neutral wire L 2 - 1  in the case when the rechargeable battery  120  is changed or inspected. In this case, the first switch SW 1  is turned on so as to connect the conversion neutral wire L 2 - 1  to the ground wire L 3 . 
     Hereinafter, the AC-DC SMPS device as a power supply device  100  of the current embodiment of the present invention will be described.

     Also, AC power that is diverged to a secondary side of the transformer T 902  is rectified by using diodes D 907 , D 908 , D 905 , and D 906  to be converted to DC, and is smoothed using capacitors C 918 , C 919 , and C 921  and output to a stage circuit  210 - 2 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 7B , in the stage circuit  210 - 2 , an IC U 905  oscillates an AC frequency with a crystal oscillator XT 901 , and outputs the same to ICs U 906  and U 907  through resistors R 918  and R 919 . 
     The ICs U 906  and U 907  oscillate according to different phases to sequentially trigger gates of switching devices Q 909 , Q 910 , Q 911 , and Q 912  to thereby convert DC power supplied to the drains of the switching devices Q 909 , Q 910 , Q 911 , and Q 912  to AC power and output the same. 
     An adjustment circuit OP 903  of  FIG. 7A  does not supply power for a circuit when normal AC power is normally supplied but supplies power only in the event of a power failure to operate the circuit. 
     Referring to  FIG. 7C , a refrigerator module relay switch RLY 901  denotes a relay switch for power conversion, an IC U 903  denotes a driving IC, OP 901  in  FIG. 7B  denotes a sensor switch, and DB 901  and U 902  denote circuits for supplying power to the IC U 905 . 
     A refrigerator module AC-DC power input unit  210 - 3  as illustrated in  FIG. 7C  outputs normal AC power between terminals # 1  and # 2  of a power plug PL 901  when power is supplied normally, to a socket SO 901  so as to operate a refrigerator, and in the event of a power failure, the refrigerator module relay switch RLY 901  is automatically converted to convert DC power input between terminals # 2  and # 3  of the power plug PL 901  to AC power so as to output the same to the socket SO 901 , thereby preventing food from rotting in the refrigerator, which may occur in the event of a power failure. 
     According to the AC-DC power supply device of the present invention, conventional electrical wiring may be used, and AC and DC power may be stably supplied at the same time. Moreover, not only illumination but Internet connection and use of computers are still possible even if a power failure occurs. 
     Also, according to the AC-DC SMPS device, while supplying AC power and DC power by using a normal power supply, DC power of solar cells which is an alternative energy source is charged in a battery so that the DC power charged in the battery may be used or the DC power may be converted to AC power so as to enable transmission of electricity to an electric power company by grid line connection. 
     In particular, AC power and DC power may be supplied at the same time, and loss due to conversion of electricity between AC and DC may be minimized, and use of environment-friendly alternative energy may be facilitated. Furthermore, power may be charged in a battery for use or residual power may be transmitted to an electric power company to thereby efficiently use the power, and power may be supplied even in an emergency. 
     While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims.
