[0002] Flexible water cooling devices are liquid cooling systems with bendable and deformable characteristics. They deliver coolant through flexible pipes, hoses, or deformable cavities, contacting and removing heat from heat-generating equipment. Their core principle is balancing heat dissipation efficiency with form adaptability, allowing them to conform to irregular surfaces or be deployed in confined spaces. They are widely used in scenarios requiring flexible heat dissipation, balancing cooling performance with ease of use.
[0003] When assembling water-cooled pipes, first check that the water-cooled pipes and fittings are intact. Then, cut the pipes to the appropriate length according to the design path, use a special tool to smooth the pipe ends, and then put on the joints and sealing rings in sequence, align the interfaces and tighten them to ensure a leak-free seal.
[0004] The existing technology has the following drawbacks: the design of the disassembly and assembly structure of water-cooled tubes often has certain limitations. The traditional process of disassembling and splicing water-cooled tubes mostly relies on complex bolt fastening or snap-fit structures, which is cumbersome and requires not only tools but also a lot of time, greatly affecting the disassembly and assembly efficiency and making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid maintenance or replacement. Therefore, a flexible water-cooling device is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0034] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a flexible water-cooling device, including a water-cooling pipe 1. A connector 2 is provided at the left end of the water-cooling pipe 1. The water-cooling pipe 1 is made of flexible material and has a certain deformation capacity, allowing it to be bent according to heat dissipation requirements. A fixing ring 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water-cooling pipe 1. The right end of the water-cooling pipe 1 contacts the connector 2 during splicing, ensuring a seal between the devices during connection. A circular ring 4 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixing ring 3, and a corresponding opening is provided on the fixing ring 3. The corresponding slots facilitate the rotation of the ring 4. An arc-shaped block 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ring 4. Two sets of arc-shaped blocks 5 are provided. The arc-shaped blocks 5 are semi-cylindrical. A limit mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the ring 4. A connecting component is provided on the outer wall of the water-cooling pipe 1. The limit mechanism includes a plug 6. The plug 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the ring 4. The ring 4 has a slot corresponding to the plug 6, so that the plug 6 can move left and right. The left side wall of the plug 6 is elastically connected to the ring 4 through a movable spring 7.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6The connecting component includes a rectangular block 8, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water-cooling pipe 1. The inner wall of the left end of the rectangular block 8 is elastically connected to a limiting block 9 via a moving spring 10. The limiting block 9 is provided with an inclined surface, and a protrusion is provided at the limiting groove 11. When the protrusion presses against the inclined surface, the limiting block 9 moves to the left. The inner wall of the rectangular block 8 is provided with a limiting groove 11. The inner wall of the left end of the rectangular block 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the moving spring 10, and the other end of the moving spring 10 is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the limiting block 9. When the limiting block 9 moves to the left, the moving spring 10 is compressed. When resetting, the elastic force of the moving spring 10 is used to reset the limiting block 9. The limiting block 9 passes through and slides on the inner wall of the rectangular block 8. The rectangular block 8 is provided with a slot corresponding to the limiting block 9, so that the limiting block 9 can move left and right. The limiting block 9 is engaged with the inner wall of the limiting groove 11.
[0036] Reference Figures 3-5 The insert 6 is inserted into the outer wall of the fixed ring 3. The fixed ring 3 has two sets of slots corresponding to the insert 6. The outer side of the connector 2 has an annular groove. The arc-shaped block 5 is inserted into the inside of the annular groove. When the arc-shaped block 5 is inserted into the annular groove, it can block and limit the connector 2. The annular groove has two sets of openings. When the arc-shaped block 5 is at the opening, it does not block the connector 2. The connector 2 is inserted into the inner wall of the fixed ring 3. The inside of the fixed ring 3 is hollow to facilitate the insertion of the connector 2. The left side wall of the insert 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable spring 7. The other end of the movable spring 7 is fixedly connected to the left inner wall of the ring 4. When the insert 6 moves to the left, the movable spring 7 is compressed. When resetting, the elastic force of the movable spring 7 is used to reset the insert 6.
[0037] Working principle: When separating the two sections of water-cooling tube 1, manually move the insert block 6 to the left. The insert block 6 will compress the movable spring 7. When the insert block 6 separates from the slot on the fixing ring 3, manually rotate the insert block 6 and the ring 4 counterclockwise. When the ring 4, along with the arc-shaped block 5, aligns with the opening of the annular groove on the other connector 2, the insert block 6 aligns with the slot on the fixing ring 3. Manually release the insert block 6, and use the elasticity of the movable spring 7 to insert the insert block 6 into the slot of the fixing ring 3, thus limiting the ring 4. At this point, manually remove the other section of water-cooling tube 1. When splicing the two water-cooling pipes 1, manually align the connector 2 on the other end of the water-cooling pipe 1 and insert it into the groove of the fixing ring 3. Then, manually move the plug 6 to the left. When the plug 6 separates from the groove on the fixing ring 3, manually rotate the plug 6 and the ring 4 clockwise. The ring 4 will rotate with the arc block 5. When the arc block 5 rotates to the point where it does not coincide with the opening of the ring groove on the connector 2, the connector 2 is limited. At this time, the plug 6 coincides with the groove on the fixing ring 3. Manually release the plug 6 and let the plug 6 insert into the groove of the fixing ring 3 to complete the limitation of the ring 4.
[0038] When two sets of water-cooling pipes 1 need to be connected in parallel, manually align the limiting blocks 9 on one set of rectangular blocks 8 and insert them into the limiting grooves 11 on the other set of rectangular blocks 8. When the protrusion on the limiting groove 11 contacts and presses the inclined surface on the limiting block 9, move the limiting block 9 to the left and press the moving spring 10. When the groove on the limiting block 9 coincides with the protrusion, the limiting block 9 is engaged into the groove of the limiting groove 11 under the elastic force of the moving spring 10, thus completing the limiting of the limiting block 9. When it is necessary to disconnect, manually move the limiting block 9 to the left. When the groove on the limiting block 9 separates from the protrusion, manually separate the two sets of water-cooling pipes 1. Then manually release the limiting block 9, and the limiting block 9 is moved back to the initial position under the elastic force of the moving spring 10.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
