Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air conditioning pipe technology, specifically relating to an air conditioning pipe for a data center backplane. Background Technology
[0002] Backplane air conditioners are high-efficiency cooling devices installed close to the back of server racks, specifically designed for high-density server rooms such as data centers. They cool heat sources directly through precise airflow and localized cooling, saving 30% to 50% more energy than traditional air conditioners. They also save space, reduce cooling loss, and feature intelligent temperature control and low-noise operation, making them the preferred solution for modern server room thermal management.
[0003] Currently, the refrigerant piping installation for rear-panel air conditioners generally uses traditional welding methods, which have many drawbacks: low installation efficiency: requires professional welders to operate on-site, is time-consuming, and has high labor costs; high safety risks: open-flame welding is carried out in data center server rooms, posing a fire hazard; system contamination: welding easily produces oxide scale and welding slag, which, if not cleaned properly, may fall into the piping system, potentially causing valve blockage or compressor damage, seriously affecting system reliability; difficult maintenance: once the piping is welded shut, it is extremely inconvenient to modify or replace a section of the piping later.
[0004] Therefore, a data center backplane air conditioning pipe is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0030] Implementation
[0031] Please see Figure 1 -5. A data center backplane air conditioning pipe, comprising:
[0032] Multiple pipes 1;
[0033] A connecting block 2 and a fixing block 5 are installed on the outer wall of the pipe 1. The fixing block 5 has a threaded groove 9 inside. A threaded ring 8 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting block 2. The threaded ring 8 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 9.
[0034] The pipe 1 has fixed edges 6 on both sides, and the connecting block 2 and the fixed block 5 together clamp the fixed edges 6.
[0035] Pipe 1 is constructed of multiple composite materials;
[0036] The interior of pipe 1 is equipped with a microchannel tube 17;
[0037] Pipeline 1 includes, from the inside out, an inner lining layer 101, a reinforcing layer 102, and an outer sheath layer 103. The inner lining layer 101 is made of phosphorus-deoxidized copper pipe, the reinforcing layer 102 is made of stainless steel wire mesh and is wrapped around the outer surface of the inner lining layer 101, and the outer sheath layer 103 is made of microporous rubber, which can reduce cold loss, improve energy efficiency, and prevent scratches in dense cable environments.
[0038] The outer wall of the connecting block 2 is provided with an outer ring 3, and the outer wall of the outer ring 3 is provided with fixing teeth 4;
[0039] The inner wall of the fixing block 5 is provided with a fixing block 5, and the inside of the fixing block 5 is provided with a fixing groove 10, and the outer ring 3 is inserted into the inside of the fixing groove 10;
[0040] The fixed block 5 has a movable groove 16 inside, and a movable block 11 is inserted into the movable groove 16. The end of the movable block 11 is provided with a locking tooth 12, which engages with the fixed tooth 4.
[0041] The snapping direction of the snapping tooth 12 and the fixing tooth 4 is opposite to the connection direction of the threaded ring 8 and the threaded groove 9, in order to prevent the threaded ring 8 from loosening during long-term use or vibration.
[0042] The fixed block 5 has a top plate 13 inside, and the inner wall of the moving groove 16 is provided with a limit rod 14. The limit rod 14 passes through the top plate 13. The top plate 13 is fixedly connected to the moving block 11. The lower surface of the top plate 13 is provided with a tension spring 15, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the limit rod 14.
[0043] The technical solution provided in this embodiment is as follows: During connection, firstly, the sealing ring 7 is placed between the two fixed edges 6. Then, the sealing sleeve 19 is fitted onto the outer walls of the two fixed edges 6 for auxiliary installation. Next, the connecting block 2 and the fixed block 5 are installed. During installation, the connecting block 2 and the fixed block 5 are brought close together, with the outer ring 3 and the threaded ring 8 inserted into the fixing groove 10 and the threaded groove 9. Then, the connecting block 2 is rotated. During rotation, the outer wall of the threaded ring 8 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded groove 9 for fixation. During the threaded connection, the connecting block 2 and the fixed block 5 are brought close together, causing them to squeeze and clamp the sealing sleeve 19, while simultaneously squeezing the two adjacent fixed edges 6, so that the two fixed edges 6 together clamp the sealing ring 7, ensuring... The sealing of the entire pipe 1 is ensured by the rotation of the outer ring 3 when the connecting block 2 rotates. After the connecting block 2 is connected to the fixed block 5, the tension spring 15 pulls the top plate 13 downward, causing the moving block 11 to move downward. At the same time, the locking teeth 12 and the fixed teeth 4 mesh, preventing the outer ring 3 from rotating in the opposite direction. This ensures that the threaded connection between the connecting block 2 and the fixed block 5 will not loosen. After the connection is completed, it can be used. During use, the outer layer 103 ensures the insulation of the pipe 1, and the reinforcing layer 102 improves the pressure resistance and shock resistance of the pipe 1. When the refrigerant flows through the microchannel tube 17, it flows through the spiral microchannel 18. The spiral channel disrupts the laminar flow state of the refrigerant, improving the working efficiency of the equipment.
[0044] Furthermore, a sealing ring 7 is provided at the gap between two adjacent fixed edges 6, and a sealing sleeve 19 is fitted onto the outer wall of the fixed edge 6. The two sides of the sealing sleeve 19 are in contact with the connecting block 2 and the fixed block 5.
[0045] Specifically, the sealing ring 7 ensures the airtightness of pipe 1, and its material, hydrogenated nitrile rubber, guarantees that pipe 1 will not leak due to refrigerant.
[0046] Furthermore, a spiral microchannel 18 is provided inside the microchannel tube 17.
[0047] Specifically, by setting up the spiral microchannel 18, eddies are generated when the refrigerant flows, which greatly disrupts the laminar flow state of the liquid film, strengthens the boiling and condensation heat exchange process, and significantly improves the heat exchange efficiency of the back panel air conditioner.
[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
