[0055] Please see Figure 1 , 2 The liquid cooling cabinet may be, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and a plurality of bearing units are arranged inside the liquid cooling cabinet, and the bearing units are arranged in multiple layers along the vertical direction, so that multiple layers of accommodating space are formed between adjacent bearing units; then, the liquid cooling cabinet has a first side surface and a second side surface, and the second side surface is, for example, a front panel, and a wiring board is arranged adjacent to the second side surface; the first side surface is, for example, a rear panel, and a liquid cooling pipeline unit is arranged on the first side surface; wherein, referring to Figure 4 The liquid cooling pipeline unit includes a first liquid cooling pipeline and a second liquid cooling pipeline which are respectively arranged at both ends of the first side and are vertically arranged. The first liquid cooling pipeline and the second liquid cooling pipeline respectively have a first external joint and a second external joint. The first external joint and the second external joint are used to communicate with an external coolant system. Then, corresponding to the above-mentioned multi-layer accommodating space, the first liquid cooling pipeline and the second liquid cooling pipeline respectively have a first adapter and a second adapter.

[0056] The liquid cooling cabinet of this embodiment is used to place electronic equipment and a liquid cooling plate unit for liquid cooling and heat dissipation of the electronic equipment. The electronic equipment and the liquid cooling plate unit are placed in the above-mentioned multi-layer accommodating space.

[0057] The electronic device can be any electronic device having a heating element and requiring liquid cooling, such as a chip substrate, a power supply device, etc.; and, for the convenience of installation and placement, the electronic device and the liquid cooling plate unit can be packaged as a whole, for example, see Figure 7 , 8 In a possible structure, the electronic device and the liquid cooling plate unit are integrally packaged to form a computing module, and the housing unit 50 of the computing module has a first side plate 51 and a second side plate 52 arranged opposite to each other, wherein the first side plate 51 is protruding with a liquid inlet and outlet 54 of the liquid cooling plate unit, and the second side plate 52 is provided with an electrical adapter 53 of the electronic device, and then, the first side plate 51 of the computing module faces the first side surface 11 of the liquid cooling cabinet, and the second side plate 52 faces the second side surface 12, and the computing module is placed in the accommodating space of the liquid cooling cabinet, and the bearing unit is used to provide support for the computing module; in this way, the wiring board adjacent to the second side surface of the liquid cooling cabinet is used to organize and fix the cables inserted into the electrical adapter 53, and the first adapter and the second adapter on the first side surface of the liquid cooling cabinet are respectively connected to the liquid inlet and outlet 54 of the liquid cooling plate unit, and the first external connector and the second external connector of the liquid cooling pipeline unit are connected to the external cooling liquid system, and the cooling liquid flows into the liquid cooling plate unit through the liquid cooling pipeline unit to provide liquid cooling and heat dissipation for the electronic equipment.

[0058] That is to say, the liquid cooling cabinet of this embodiment separates the cables of the electronic equipment and the cooling liquid pipelines of the liquid cooling plate unit on two opposite sides to achieve water-electricity separation, thereby preventing the electronic equipment from being damaged by water when the cooling liquid pipeline leaks.

[0059] In addition, it can be understood that the liquid cooling cabinet of this embodiment is modularized. The above-mentioned operation module can be fixed in advance, and the cables of the electronic equipment and the cooling liquid pipelines of the liquid cooling plate unit can be installed and tested before transportation, etc., wherein the cables and cooling liquid pipelines of the electronic equipment are optimized in layout, and only the main interface is reserved for the outside; when in use, it is only necessary to connect the first external connector and the second external connector of the liquid cooling pipeline unit to the external cooling liquid system, and connect the electronic equipment to the external power supply, which eliminates the on-site installation and assembly and improves the on-site construction efficiency.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, the liquid cooling cabinet includes a cabinet unit, a load-bearing unit and a liquid cooling pipeline unit, and several load-bearing units are placed inside the cabinet unit in a vertical direction, so that a storage space for placing electronic equipment and a liquid cooling plate is formed between adjacent load-bearing units, and then, the electronic equipment is placed on a side having an electrical adapter facing the second side, and the second side is provided with a wiring board, and the liquid cooling plate unit is placed on a side having a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet facing the first side, and the first side is provided with a first liquid cooling pipeline and a second liquid cooling pipeline in a vertical direction, and the first liquid cooling pipeline and the second liquid cooling pipeline are respectively provided with a first adapter and a second adapter corresponding to the above-mentioned storage space, and the first adapter and the second adapter are respectively used to connect the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet of the liquid cooling plate unit, so that the first liquid cooling pipeline and the second liquid cooling pipeline are connected to an external cooling liquid system, so as to liquid-cool the electronic equipment placed in the storage space.

[0061] That is, in the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the electrical adapter of the electronic device and the liquid inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling plate at the two ends of the cabinet, water and electricity separation is achieved, thereby solving the technical problem of chaotic layout of cables and water cooling pipes caused by simply placing the electronic device and the liquid cooling plate on the shelf, and it is not easy to cause leakage of the water cooling pipe; in addition, the electronic device and the liquid cooling plate unit are placed on the liquid cooling cabinet of the embodiment of the present application to form a modular structure, which is convenient for direct transportation. When in use, no assembly is required, and it only needs to be directly connected to the external power supply and the coolant system. It is simple to use, convenient and efficient.

[0062] In a possible implementation manner, a column unit 13 is disposed in the cabinet unit 10 , a first installation hole row 131 is formed on the column unit 13 , and a plurality of carrying units 20 are mounted on the first installation hole row 131 through first nuts.

[0063] Combination Figure 2 , 3 As shown, for example, four vertical column units can be arranged in the cabinet unit, and the column units are, for example, square columns, wherein the column units are provided with a first row of mounting holes along the vertical direction, and then the bearing unit is installed on the first row of mounting holes through a first nut, and the first nut is, for example, a floating nut; the bearing unit is, for example, a bearing tray with bent ends, or a bearing plate, etc.

[0064] It can be understood that by providing the first row of mounting holes on the column unit, the spacing of the bearing unit can be determined according to actual needs, that is, the above-mentioned accommodating space can be determined according to the thickness of the computing module, so as to achieve flexible adjustment.

[0065] In a possible implementation manner, the electronic device and the liquid cooling plate unit are encapsulated by a housing unit 50 ; a second mounting hole row 132 is further provided on the column unit 13 , and the housing unit 50 is mounted on the second mounting hole row 132 by a second nut.

[0066] As described above, the electronic device and the liquid cooling plate unit are encapsulated by the housing unit. When the housing unit is placed in the accommodation space (i.e., placed on the carrying unit), the housing unit can also be fixed on the column unit to prevent the housing unit from falling. Specifically, Figure 3 , such as a side panel of a housing unit ( Figure 3 A fixed mounting plate is provided at the second side plate (in the middle), and a fixed mounting hole 55 is provided on the fixed mounting plate. Then, the second nut passes through the fixed mounting hole 55 and is tightened to the second mounting hole column on the column unit, thereby achieving fixed installation of the shell unit.

[0067] It is easy to understand that the first mounting hole column and the second mounting hole column should have a corresponding relationship to ensure smooth installation.

[0068] In one possible implementation, the first mounting hole row 131 is opened on the inner side opposite to the column unit 13, and the second mounting hole row 132 is opened on the side of the column unit 13 parallel to the second side surface 12, and the mounting holes of the first mounting hole row 131 and the second mounting hole row 132 are arranged at equal intervals.

[0069] In this embodiment, a simple method is to set the first mounting hole row on the inner side opposite to each column unit, so that the load-bearing unit can be fixedly installed inside the cabinet unit through four mounting points; then, a second mounting hole row is opened on one side of the column unit parallel to the second side surface to facilitate the installation of the above-mentioned shell unit; wherein, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the accommodating space, the first mounting hole row and the second mounting hole row can be set as mounting holes with equal spacing.

[0070] In a possible implementation manner, the wiring board 14 is disposed in the cabinet unit 10 along a vertical direction. A third mounting hole row 141 is formed on the wiring board 14 . The third mounting hole row 141 is used to fix cables inserted into the electrical adapter 53 .

[0071] See also Figure 1 , 3 Since the accommodating space formed between adjacent bearing units is arranged in a vertical direction, in order to facilitate wiring, the wiring board is placed in the cabinet unit in the vertical direction, and then a third row of mounting holes is opened in the vertical direction on the wiring board. In this way, the cables of the computing modules placed in any layer of the accommodating space can be fixed and arranged on the third row of mounting holes for easy maintenance.

[0072] In a possible implementation manner, the electrical adapter 53 includes a power adapter 531 and a communication connector 532 , and the power adapter 531 and the communication connector 532 are respectively arranged at two ends of the second side surface 12 .

[0073] For details, see Figure 8The above-mentioned operation module can, for example, have a power adapter and a communication connector, and the power adapter and the communication connector are arranged at both ends of the second side panel of the shell unit. In this way, when the operation module is placed in the accommodating space, the power adapter and the communication connector can be arranged at both ends of the second side surface of the cabinet unit, and then the above-mentioned wiring boards are respectively arranged at both ends of the second side surface, so that the power cable and the communication cable can be fixed and wired respectively, that is, the separation of strong and weak electricity is realized to prevent mutual interference, and the cables are classified, arranged and arranged by the wiring board, and the overall appearance is beautiful.

[0074] In addition, a power cable through hole 15 and a communication cable through hole 16 for the power cable 71 and the communication cable 72 to pass through may be respectively provided at both ends of the top plate of the cabinet unit 10 .

[0075] In a possible implementation manner, the accommodating space is also used to place a network switch 60 , and the network switch 60 is connected to the communication connector 532 .

[0076] For details, see Figure 1 According to actual needs, several computing modules can be equipped with a network switch, that is, a network switch can be placed between several accommodating spaces, and external communication cables can be first connected to the network switch and then branched to the communication connectors of each computing module through the network switch.

[0077] In one possible implementation, the first external connector 311 is disposed at the bottom end of the first liquid cooling pipeline 31 , and a first exhaust valve 313 is disposed at the top end of the first liquid cooling pipeline 31 ; the second external connector 321 is disposed at the bottom end of the second liquid cooling pipeline 32 , and a second exhaust valve 323 is disposed at the top end of the second liquid cooling pipeline 32 .

[0078] See also Figure 4 The first external connector and the second external connector are respectively arranged at the bottom ends of the first liquid cooling pipeline and the second liquid cooling pipeline, and then the first exhaust valve and the second exhaust valve are respectively arranged at the top ends of the first liquid cooling pipeline and the second liquid cooling pipeline; in this way, when the coolant flows in from the external connector at the bottom end, the gas inside the liquid cooling plate unit and the liquid cooling pipeline can be discharged from the exhaust valve at the top end, so as to facilitate the exhaust of the gas.

[0079] In one possible implementation, the first adapter 312 is connected to the liquid inlet 541 of the liquid cooling plate unit through the first liquid distribution pipeline 33, and the first liquid distribution pipeline 33 is provided with a first valve 331 and a first drain valve 332; the second adapter 322 is connected to the liquid outlet 542 of the liquid cooling plate unit through the second liquid distribution pipeline 34, and the second liquid distribution pipeline 34 is provided with a second valve 341 and a second drain valve 342.

[0080] See also Figure 4 , 5According to the actual required spacing, a plurality of first adapters are provided on the first liquid cooling pipeline, and a plurality of second adapters are provided on the second liquid cooling pipeline. Then, the first adapters and the second adapters of each layer are respectively connected to the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet of the liquid cooling plate unit on that layer; wherein, for example, the first adapter is connected to the liquid inlet of the liquid cooling plate unit through the first liquid distribution pipeline, and the second adapter is connected to the liquid outlet of the liquid cooling plate unit through the second liquid distribution pipeline, and a first valve and a first drain valve are provided on the first liquid distribution pipeline, and a second valve and a second drain valve are provided on the second liquid distribution pipeline.

[0081] It can be understood that the first valve and the second valve are switches for the coolant flow path, and the first drain valve and the second drain valve are used for draining water; for example, when a computing module on a certain layer needs maintenance, the first valve and the second valve corresponding to the layer can be closed at the same time, and then the first drain valve and the second drain valve corresponding to the layer can be opened to discharge the coolant inside the liquid cooling plate unit on the layer. In this way, the computing modules on the layer can be disassembled in a targeted manner without affecting the work of other computing modules.

[0082] In a possible implementation manner, the connection between the first liquid separation pipeline 33 and the liquid inlet 541 of the liquid cooling plate is a hose, and the connection between the second liquid separation pipeline 34 and the liquid outlet 542 of the liquid cooling plate is a hose.

[0083] See also Figure 5 , 6 In actual application, since a valve and a drain valve are provided on the liquid separation pipeline at the same time, the liquid separation pipeline requires a certain length, that is, the first liquid separation pipeline and the second liquid separation pipeline require a specific length. At this time, one possible implementation method is that the first liquid separation pipeline and the second liquid separation pipeline are cross-arranged and then respectively connected to the liquid inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling plate unit, and the connection between the liquid separation pipeline and the liquid inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling plate unit needs to be set as a hose to facilitate cross connection.

[0084] For details, please refer to Figure 5 The first adapter on the far left is connected to the liquid inlet on the right side of the liquid cooling plate unit through the first liquid distribution pipeline, and the second adapter on the far right is connected to the liquid outlet on the left side of the liquid cooling plate unit through the second liquid distribution pipeline. At this time, since the first liquid distribution pipeline and the second liquid distribution pipeline cross and overlap, the connection needs to be set as a hose to facilitate connection.

[0085] In a possible implementation manner, the first liquid cooling pipeline 31 and the second liquid cooling pipeline 32 are respectively fixedly installed on the cabinet unit through an adapter plate 35 .

[0086] See also Figure 6 , adapter plates can be respectively arranged on the first liquid cooling pipeline and the second liquid cooling pipeline, and then, the first liquid cooling pipeline and the second liquid cooling pipeline are respectively fixed to the cabinet unit through the adapter plates.

[0087] Specifically, for example, a fourth through hole row (not shown in the figure) can be set on the cabinet unit, and then the first liquid cooling pipeline and the second liquid cooling pipeline are respectively fixed on the cabinet unit with adjustable height through an adapter plate to meet the needs of on-site docking with an external cooling liquid system.

[0088] In one possible implementation, a water collecting tray 40 is further provided at the bottom of the cabinet unit 10, and a leakage detection rope is provided in the water collecting tray 40, and the water collecting tray 40 is provided with a drain outlet 41; by providing the water collecting tray at the bottom of the cabinet unit, when the coolant pipeline leaks or is disassembled, the water collecting tray can collect the leaked coolant; and, a leakage detection rope can be provided in the water collecting tray, and when the height of the leaked coolant in the water collecting tray exceeds a predetermined height, a leakage alarm device can be triggered to notify relevant personnel to handle it; the water collecting tray is provided with a drain outlet, and the liquid in the water collecting tray can be discharged through the drain outlet.
