Patent ID: 7888819

Claim:
A multi-input power converter, comprising: input connection means having a first input terminal, a second input terminal and a reference ground terminal for electrically connecting to and receiving input currents from an input power system; inductor means having a first inductor and a second inductor electrically connected to the first and second input terminals of the input connection means for charging and discharging the input currents; switch means having a first AC switch unit and a second AC switch unit electrically connected to the inductor means for conducting the input currents; rectifier means having a first rectifier comprising a ninth diode having a cathode and an anode, and the anode connected to the first inductor and the first AC switch unit; and a tenth diode having a cathode connected to the anode of the ninth diode and having an anode; and a second rectifier comprising an eleventh diode having a cathode connected to the cathode of the ninth diode and having an anode; and a twelfth diode having a cathode connected to the anode of the eleventh diode, the second inductor and the second AC switch unit and having an anode connected to the anode of the tenth diode; output storing means having a first storing device and a second storing device electrically connected to the rectifier means for receiving the rectified inductor currents and charging voltages when the inductor means is discharged, wherein the first storing device is connected between the cathode of the ninth diode and the reference ground; and the second storing device is connected between the reference ground and the anode of the tenth diode; and switch control means having a control unit electrically connected to the first and the second AC switch units of the switch means to control the inductor means charging the input currents and discharging input currents to the output storing means by controlling the first and the second AC switch units turning on and turning off.
