Description

[0002] With the continuous improvement of data processing technology capabilities, servers play an important role and the market demand is increasing, but the load that servers need to bear is also increasing accordingly. For example, a server with computing functions integrates a large number of computing chip units on a circuit board. The density is high, and the power consumption generated by the computing chip operation makes the circuit board heat up, which can easily cause the computing chip to burn out and the server to stop running.

[0003] Existing servers use "S"-shaped cooling pipes installed on circuit boards to dissipate heat and cool down computing chips. However, the temperature of the coolant in this "S"-shaped cooling pipe is higher when it flows to the computing chip position corresponding to the rear section of the circuit board than that of the computing chip position corresponding to the front section. Because the coolant has been cooled in the front section and carries heat, the coolant in the rear section is preheated and difficult to dissipate heat normally, resulting in different heat dissipation and cooling effects at the front and back of the server, which can easily cause the computing chip to burn out and the server to stop running, causing certain losses.

The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application or the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order.

[0033] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0034] The embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid cooling heat dissipation server, which is generally based on Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes a chassis 1, a liquid cooling plate 2, a computing board 3, a computing chip 301, a liquid cooling box 4, a controller 5 and a power supply 6. At least two computing chips 301 are connected in series on the front of the computing board 3. The back of the computing board 3 is screwed to the back of the liquid cooling plate 2, and then the liquid cooling plate 2 is erected horizontally and installed in the chassis 1. A removable upper cover 101 is provided on the top of the chassis 1, and a power supply 6 is installed on the upper cover 101. A liquid cooling box 4 is installed on the outside of the chassis 1. The liquid cooling box 4 is connected to the liquid cooling plate 2 to supply cold liquid so that the computing chip 301 on the computing board 3 can dissipate heat and cool down. A controller 5 is installed on the side wall of the chassis 1. The controller 5 is connected to the computing board 3 for communication, and the power supply 6 is electrically connected to the controller 5 and the computing board 3.

[0035] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of computing chips 301 are embedded on the computing board 3, and the plurality of computing chips 301 are connected in series. The computing chip 301 is a computing chip 301 with certain computing functions, such as an FPGA computing chip 301 with super computing functions that integrates multiple crystals. Since the computing board 3 is integrated with a plurality of computing chips 301, heat will be continuously generated during operation, and the heat needs to be discharged in time. Therefore, a liquid cooling plate 2 is installed on the back of the computing board 3 to cool down the heat generated on the computing board 3 to protect the computing chip 301 from being burned.

[0036] For further reference, Figure 5As shown, a bottom plate 201 with one side being a cavity 203 is made of aluminum profile by die-casting process, and a water inlet joint 204 and a water outlet joint 205 connected to the inner wall of the cavity 203 are respectively provided at the upper and lower parts of one side of the bottom plate 201, and a confluence port 210 is provided at one place of the cavity 203, and the confluence port 210 is connected to the water outlet joint 205, and the water cooling that flows into the cavity 203 through the water inlet joint 204 is evenly distributed to each flow channel, and is gathered at the confluence port 210 and discharged from the water outlet joint 205. Among them, since the distance of each flow channel is short (for example, length = 180mm), compared with the existing "S"-shaped water tank structure (for example, length = 1000mm), the time for the cold liquid to flow from one end of the flow channel to the other end is very short, that is, in each flow channel, the same cold liquid temperature can be used to dissipate heat and cool down all the computing chips 301 on the computing board 3, effectively avoiding the defect of the existing "S"-shaped water tank structure with a large temperature difference between the cold liquid before and after, reducing the risk of the computing board 3 being burned, and further improving the reliability of the normal operation of the computing board 3.

[0037] The bottom plate 201 is made of aluminum, which has a significant heat conduction effect. The thickness between the bottom surface of the cavity 203 and the back surface of the locked liquid cooling plate 2 should not be too thick. The thickness is usually set to 3-10 mm, and the preferred thickness is 5 mm, so that the computing power chip 301 can be better cooled and dissipated.

[0038] It should be noted that, due to the short length of the flow channel, the computing chip 301 of the computing board 3 corresponding to the back side of the same flow channel is cooled by the cold liquid on the entire flow channel. The temperature difference of the cold liquid in the front and rear sections of the flow channel is very small and can be ignored here.

[0039] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the specific structure of the above-mentioned liquid cooling plate 2 is as follows: the liquid cooling plate 2 includes a bottom plate 201, a cover plate 202, a water inlet joint 204, a water outlet joint 205, a first isolation strip 207, a first waterproof strip 9, a second isolation strip 208, a second waterproof strip 10, and a sealing chain ring 11. The cover plate 202 is sealed on the bottom plate 201 by screws, and the bottom plate 201 is set to form a cavity 203 structure on the side covered by the cover plate 202; the upper and lower parts of the side of the liquid cooling plate 2 are respectively provided with a water inlet joint 204 and a water outlet joint 205, and the water inlet joint 204 and the water outlet joint 205 are both connected to the inner wall of the cavity 203 for cooling Liquid flows in and out; the bottom surface of the cavity 203 is integrally formed with a plurality of first isolation strips 207 that are arranged at intervals and protrude upward to form a plurality of flow channels for cold liquid diversion, and each flow channel faces away from the computing chip 301 on the computing board 3, so as to provide heat dissipation and cooling for the computing chip 301; the bottom surface of the cavity 203 is integrally formed with a second isolation strip 208 that protrudes upward at the water outlet interface, one end of the second isolation strip 208 is located at the water outlet interface and is integrally connected to the inner wall of the cavity 203, and the other end forms a cold liquid confluence 210 with the inner wall of the cavity 203; a chain groove 209 is provided on the bottom plate 201 along the periphery of the cavity 203.

[0040] Of course, the first waterproof strip 9, the second waterproof strip 10 and the sealing chain ring 11 are laid on the first isolation strip 207, the second isolation strip 208 and the chain groove 209 respectively to prevent the cold liquid in the liquid cooling plate 2 from seeping out or leaking out, and to maintain the diverted cold liquid flowing in the corresponding flow channel.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, when multiple liquid cooling plates 2 (for example, 3) are installed in the chassis 1, in order to better transport the cold water and reduce the complexity of installing the cold water hose, a through hole 206 is provided in the middle of the water inlet joint 204 and the water outlet joint 205. After the through hole 206 is connected to the water distributor structure, it can simultaneously divert and supply multiple liquid cooling plates 2. Specifically, the upper water distributor 7 and the lower water distributor 8 are used in this embodiment. One end of the upper water distributor 7 is connected to the liquid cooling box 4, and the other end is connected to the through hole 206 of the water inlet joint 204; one end of the lower water distributor 8 is connected to the liquid cooling box 4, and the other end is connected to the through hole 206 of the water outlet joint 205, so as to form a circulating supply of cold liquid.

[0042] According to the above-mentioned embodiment of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation server of the present invention, other components of the server (eg, the controller 5, the power supply 6, etc.) are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] The technical principle of the present invention is described above in combination with the specific embodiments, which are only preferred implementations of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and all technical solutions under the idea of ​​the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can think of other specific implementations of the present invention without creative work, and these methods will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
