Liquid cooling system, module and pipe

Abstract

A liquid cooling pipe includes a pipe body and a flat-nozzle connector. The flat-nozzle connector includes a connector body and a connector channel. Two opposite ends of the connector body have a flat end and an opposing end, with the opposing end sleeved onto one end of the pipe body. The connector channel passes through the connector body and connects the flat end and the opposing end. The flat-nozzle connector further includes a tapered portion located between the flat end and the opposing end, resulting in an inwardly narrowed region on the outer side of the connector body that simultaneously connects the flat end, the tapered portion, and the opposing end. The height of the flat end is less than the height of the opposing end.
