Patent ID: 7640439

Claim:
A main power off-delay device for a power supply of a computer system, the device comprising: a control device 4 connected to the outer power supply 1 or disposed on a circuit board of a computer system host 2 , wherein said control device 4 with hardware circuits or software programming chips comprises a temperature-detected circuit 41 , a logic-determined and switch-controlled circuit 43 , and a timer 42 , when receiving a power-off signal, a overheated signal from the temperature-detected circuit and a clock signal from the timer, said control device outputs the power-off signal and interrupts power to turn off the computer system and maintains both the power supply providing main power and standing power for heat sinks of primary periphery equipment, and thereby the heat sinks of the primary periphery equipment keep performing when the computer system is turned off, wherein said control device 4 comprises: a temperature-detected circuit 41 for detecting environmental temperature of a computer system and comparing the environmental temperature with a predetermined value, if the environmental temperature is lower than the predetermined value, said temperature-detected circuit 41 transmits a non-overheated signal to said logic-determined and switch-controlled circuit 43 of said control device 4 ; and a timer 42 starting clocking when receiving a power-off signal, and outputting a clock signal to said logic-determined and switch-controlled circuit 43 of said control device 4 until a setting time is up and a non-overheated signal is provided.
