Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of liquid channel leakage determination, and particularly to a liquid channel leakage determination method, a liquid channel leakage determination device, a server, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] A server is an important part of the digital world infrastructure. Since it generates a large amount of heat during operation, a very reliable cooling system is required.

[0003] Currently, there are mainly three cooling methods for servers: 1) Air cooling, as the originator of the cooling field, has always occupied half of the market. Facing the rapid development of the Internet era, it seems a bit powerless; 2) Water cooling, which adds water on the basis of air cooling for temperature reduction and noise reduction, and has good effects. However, if there is a leak, it will burn out electronic components and cause serious consequences; 3) Liquid cooling, as a new upstart in the cooling field, is gradually becoming the future of the cooling field. Liquid cooling mainly uses special liquids that are non-toxic, insulating, high-boiling, and non-corrosive as the cooling medium, such as electronic fluorinated liquid, mineral oil, and BO heat-conducting liquid.

[0004] In server products, whether water cooling or liquid cooling is adopted, the state of the cooling medium must be strictly monitored, and there should not be a single drop of leakage, otherwise the security of the server will be damaged.

[0050] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0051] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a liquid channel leak detection system in the prior art. In practical applications, the prior art determines whether there is a leak in the liquid channel for providing liquid cooling or water cooling by winding two special wires around the outer shell of the water pipe to form an induction coil, and a certain distance is maintained between the two wires. If there is a leak, the capacitance characteristics between the induction coils or other electrical characteristics of the coils will change, thereby triggering an alarm and subsequent processing mechanisms.

[0052] The design scheme of the prior art mainly has the following two drawbacks:

[0053] 1. The two wires or induction wires wound around the outer shell of the water pipe need to maintain a certain distance, and this distance is very difficult to control. For example: if the distance between the two wires or induction wires is large, and the size of water droplets or insulating liquid droplets is just smaller than the distance between the two wires, and the water droplets or insulating liquid droplets leak between the two wires, the leakage problem cannot be detected in a timely and accurate manner; if the distance between the two wires or induction wires is small, the blowing of the fan or the vibration of the chassis may cause the two wires to short-circuit or the distance between the two wires to change, resulting in a change in the resistance-capacitance characteristics and easily triggering an alarm and subsequent processing mechanisms.

[0054] 2. If there is a leak of water droplets or insulating liquid, after the maintenance personnel investigate the cause of the leak and solve the leak problem, they need to wipe the two wires or induction wires clean and restore them to their original state. If the leaked substance is water, it may be dried with a hot air blower; if the leaked substance is insulating liquid droplets (such as: electronic fluorinated liquid, mineral oil), because they are relatively viscous and difficult to scrub clean, especially the residual liquid droplets between the two wires cannot be wiped off, and new wires or induction wires need to be directly replaced. In this way, the maintenance cost of the product will be increased.

[0055] Therefore, as one of the core inventive points of the embodiments of the present invention, a method for determining liquid leakage in a liquid channel is provided, which is applied to a server having a liquid channel. The liquid channel is configured with a corresponding light source device and a refracted light source collection device. The light source device is used to emit a light beam to the refracted light source collection device; the refracted light source collection device is used to generate one or more types of optical parameters for the light beam, and when the optical parameters reach a preset threshold, it is determined that the liquid channel leaks, thereby effectively solving the drawbacks of the prior art solutions such as untimely and inaccurate liquid leakage detection, and effectively solving the drawbacks of difficult post-maintenance and high costs in the prior art solutions.

[0056] Referring Figure 2 , a step flowchart of a method for determining liquid leakage in a liquid channel provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:

[0057] Step 201, use the light source device to emit a light beam to the refracted light source collection device;

[0058] Step 202, use the refracted light source collection device to generate one or more types of optical parameters for the light beam, and when the optical parameters reach a preset threshold, determine that the liquid channel leaks.

[0059] In practical applications, the embodiments of the present invention can be applied to a server having a liquid channel, and the liquid channel can provide a liquid cooling function for the server.

[0060] In a specific implementation, the liquid channel of the embodiments of the present invention can be configured with a corresponding light source device and a refracted light source collection device.

[0061] Exemplarily, the optical parameters can include multiple categories such as luminous intensity, illuminance, wavelength parameter, refraction deviation rate, etc. The embodiments of the present invention can use the light source device to emit a light beam to the refracted light source collection device, use the refracted light source collection device to receive the light beam, and then can generate one or more types of optical parameters for the light beam through the refracted light source collection device. When the optical parameters reach a preset threshold, it can be determined that the liquid channel leaks.

[0062] For example, use the light source device to continuously emit a light beam to the refracted light source collection device, and use the refracted light source collection device to receive the light beam. When the liquid channel does not leak, the light travels in a straight line. When the liquid channel leaks, the light beam is refracted and deviated through the liquid, and the refracted light source collection device generates the deviation rate for the light beam. When the deviation rate reaches a preset threshold, it can be determined that the liquid channel leaks.

[0063] Of course, the above examples are only for illustration purposes. Those skilled in the art can adopt other parameters as optical parameters. For example, the intensity of light, illuminance, wavelength parameters, etc. In this regard, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited.

[0064] The embodiments of the present invention are applied to a server having a liquid channel. The liquid channel is configured with a corresponding light source device and a refracted light source acquisition device. By using the light source device to emit a light beam to the refracted light source acquisition device; using the refracted light source acquisition device to generate one or more types of optical parameters for the light beam, and when the optical parameters reach a preset threshold, it is determined that the liquid channel leaks, and a leakage determination is made for the liquid channel used to provide liquid cooling or water cooling, thereby effectively reducing the risk of damage to the server caused by liquid leakage.

[0065] Furthermore, it also avoids using a coil to determine the leakage of the liquid channel used to provide liquid cooling or water cooling, thereby effectively solving the drawbacks of the prior art solutions such as untimely and inaccurate leakage detection, and effectively solving the drawbacks of difficult later maintenance and high cost of the prior art solutions.

[0066] Based on the above embodiments, a variant embodiment of the above embodiments is proposed. Here, it should be noted that for the sake of brevity of description, only the differences from the above embodiments are described in the variant embodiments.

[0067] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the light source device is a three-primary-color light source device.

[0068] In practical applications, the light sources near the refracted light source acquisition device may not be unique. If there is a light source of a fixed color and there are multiple color indicator lights in a certain application scenario, and the color of exactly one indicator light is the same as the color of the light source in this liquid leakage detection scheme, the light of this flickering indicator light may enter the refracted light source acquisition device, resulting in an analysis error in the spectrometer, thereby causing chaos and false alarms in the liquid leakage monitoring system.

[0069] In addition, liquid cooling media usually include electronic fluorinated liquids, mineral oils, BO thermal conductive liquids, etc., and there may be more cooling media in the future. For light of the same color, different liquids have different light reflectivities and refractive indices, causing the light to be deflected to different degrees, resulting in different amounts of incident light in the main light source receiver and the refracted light source receiver, and finally different light intensities analyzed by the spectrometer.

[0070] Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention can use a three-primary-color light source device as the light source device. For example, a three-primary-color light-emitting diode RGB LED.

[0071] White LEDs and RGB LEDs achieve the same goal: to create a white light effect. However, one produces white light directly, while the other uses a mixture of red, green, and blue. RGB LEDs use the intersection of the three primary colors to create an image. They emit three different colors of light (red, green, and blue) in sequence. Additionally, there are blue LEDs with yellow phosphors, and ultraviolet LEDs with RGB phosphors. Overall, both utilize their own imaging principles. Some LED backlights produce colors that are exceptionally clear and vivid, even reaching the level of high-definition televisions. This is a hallmark of RGB, which emphasizes the unique characteristics of red being red, green being green, and blue being blue, offering a more diverse range of color mixing characteristics.

[0072] The embodiment of the present invention uses an RGB three-color light source as the three-primary-color light source device, thereby preventing the refraction light source collection device from being affected by other light sources, thereby avoiding confusion and false alarms in the leakage monitoring system.

[0073] Furthermore, in order to cope with different heat dissipation media, three colors of RGB light sources are used, and the refraction light source acquisition device can perform three samplings and three data analyses, which can further improve the accuracy of leakage judgment and adapt to more application scenarios.

[0074] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the three-primary-color light source device includes a light-emitting diode whose power meets a preset threshold and a convex lens, and the step of using the light source device to emit a light beam to the refractive light source collection device includes:

[0075] The light emitting diode is used to emit a light beam to the refractive light source collection device through the convex lens.

[0076] In practical applications, since the light source is divergent, the embodiment of the present invention can form a light beam more efficiently by using a light emitting diode to emit a light beam to a refractive light source collection device through a convex lens.

[0077] For example, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a structural diagram of a liquid channel leakage determination system provided in an embodiment of the present invention. RGB three-color LED lamp beads are placed at the focus of a convex lens. When the RGB three-color LED lamp beads emit light, they can generate a light beam through the convex lens and emit it toward a refracted light source collection device.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present invention, the light emitting diode is used to emit a light beam to the refraction light source collection device through the convex lens, thereby forming a light beam more efficiently, thereby improving the efficiency of determining leakage in the liquid channel.

[0079] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the refraction light source acquisition device includes a main light source receiver and a spectrometer. The steps of generating one or more types of optical parameters for the light beam using the refraction light source acquisition device and determining that the liquid channel is leaking when the optical parameters reach a preset threshold include:

[0080] Generating an intensity parameter and / or a wavelength parameter for the light beam using the main light source receiver and the spectrometer;

[0081] Determining that the liquid channel is leaking when the intensity parameter and / or the wavelength parameter reaches a preset threshold.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present invention, an intensity parameter and / or a wavelength parameter for a light beam can be obtained using a light source receiver and a spectrometer, and then it is determined that the liquid channel is leaking when the intensity parameter and / or the wavelength parameter reaches a preset threshold. Specifically, referring to Figure 3 , in a scenario where there is no liquid leakage, the RGB light source emits three different colors of light (Red, Green, and Blue) in sequence. After passing through the convex lens, all three lights travel in a straight line to the main light source receiver. The spectrometer analyzes the intensity parameter and / or the wavelength parameter of the three lights in the main light source receiver, and records and stores the data in the scenario where there is no liquid leakage.

[0083] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 FIG.

[0084] shows a schematic structural diagram of another liquid channel leakage determination system provided in the embodiment of the present invention. In a scenario where there is liquid leakage, the light emitted by the RGB light source, after passing through the convex lens, first travels in a straight line. After encountering the leaked liquid droplets, a part of the light continues to travel in a straight line to the main light source receiver, and another part of the light will be reflected and refracted. The refracted light will travel to the refraction light source receiver, and the reflected light will not reach the refraction light source acquisition device. At this time, the optical parameters will change. For example, the intensity parameter and / or the wavelength parameter will change. When the optical parameters reach a preset threshold, it can be determined that the liquid channel is leaking. Figure 5 , Figure 5It is a schematic structural diagram of a refraction light source acquisition device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The refraction light source receiver includes a main light source receiver and a refraction light source receiver. The refraction light source receivers can be closely arranged and distributed around the main light source receiver. These two types of receivers can be made of optical fibers and are respectively connected to different inlets of a spectrometer. In the scenario of liquid leakage, due to the reflection and refraction of light, the light intensity in the main light source receiver will decrease. At the same time, the light intensity in the refraction light source receiver will increase. The spectrometer analyzes the changes in the light intensity and wavelength in the two receivers, and then compares the data in the liquid leakage scenario with the data in the scenario without liquid leakage. Once the data difference exceeds a certain threshold, it can be determined that liquid has leaked out.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present invention, by using the main light source receiver and the spectrometer to generate intensity parameters and / or wavelength parameters for the light beam; when the intensity parameters and / or the wavelength parameters reach a preset threshold, it is determined that the liquid channel leaks. By the changes in the intensity and wavelength of the light beam, it is accurately determined whether refraction of the light occurs, thereby further improving the liquid leakage determination efficiency for the liquid channel.

[0086] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the refraction light source acquisition device includes refraction light source receivers, and there is a corresponding arrangement thickness between multiple refraction light source receivers. The method further includes:

[0087] Obtaining refraction offset data for the light beam;

[0088] Determining the arrangement thickness through the refraction offset data.

[0089] In specific implementation, an embodiment of the present invention can calculate to obtain the refraction offset data for the light beam, and then can determine the corresponding arrangement thickness between multiple refraction light source receivers through the refraction offset data, so that the refraction light source receiver can better receive refracted light when the light beam refracts, thereby further improving the liquid leakage determination efficiency for the liquid channel.

[0090] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the main light source receiver has a corresponding light source receiver size, the convex lens has a corresponding convex lens size, and the light source receiver size is equal to the convex lens size

[0091] In practical applications, in order to improve the accuracy of data, when there is no liquid leakage, that is, when the light beam propagates linearly and is emitted to the refraction light source acquisition device, it should be ensured to the greatest extent that the light emitted along a straight line from the RGB light source can all enter the main light source receiver.

[0092] Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention can make the size of the light source receiver of the main light source receiver equal to the size of the convex lens, and make the main light source receiver face the convex lens of the RGB light source, so as to ensure to the greatest extent that the light emitted along a straight line from the RGB light source can all enter the main light source receiver, thereby improving the accuracy of judging whether the light beam is refracted, and further improving the liquid leakage determination efficiency for the liquid channel.

[0093] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present invention, the following uses a complete example to illustrate the embodiments of the present invention.

[0094] Reference Figure 5 , the light receiver includes two parts: the main light source receiver and the refracted light source receiver. These two receivers can be made of optical fibers and are respectively connected to different inlets of the spectrometer. Among them, the size of the main light source receiver must be consistent with the size of the convex lens of the RGB light source; the refracted light source receivers are closely arranged and distributed around the main light source receiver, and different arrangement thicknesses can be selected according to the refraction and offset of the light, mainly used to receive the light refracted by the liquid.

[0095] During the installation process, it is necessary to make the main light source receiver face the convex lens of the RGB light source to ensure to the greatest extent that the light emitted along a straight line from the RGB light source can all enter the main light source receiver.

[0096] Reference Figure 3 , in the scenario without liquid leakage, the RGB light source emits three different colors of light (Red red light / Green green light / Blue blue light) in sequence. After the three lights pass through the convex lens, they all propagate along a straight line to the main light source receiver. The spectrometer analyzes the intensity and wavelength of the three lights in the main light source receiver and records and stores the data in the scenario without liquid leakage.

[0097] Reference Figure 4 , in the scenario of liquid leakage, the light emitted by the RGB light source, after passing through the convex lens, first propagates along a straight line. After encountering the leaked liquid droplets, part of the light continues to propagate along a straight line to the main light source receiver, and part of the light will be reflected and refracted. The refracted light will propagate to the refracted light source receiver, and the reflected light will not reach the light receiver.

[0098] In the scenario of liquid leakage, due to the reflection and refraction of light, the intensity of the light in the main light source receiver will decrease. At the same time, the intensity of the light in the refracted light source receiver will increase. The spectrometer analyzes the changes in the intensity and wavelength of the light in the two receivers, and then compares the data in the scenario of liquid leakage with the data in the scenario without liquid leakage. Once the data difference exceeds a certain threshold, it can be determined that liquid has leaked out.

[0099] There are mainly two reasons for using a light source with RGB three colors:

[0100] First, if a light source with a fixed color is used and there are indicator lights of multiple colors in a certain application scenario, and the color of a certain indicator light happens to be the same as the color of the light source in this liquid leakage detection scheme, the light of this flickering indicator light may enter the optical receiver, resulting in an analysis error in the spectrometer, thus causing chaos and false alarms in the liquid leakage monitoring system. Therefore, if an RGB three-color light source is used, the above problems can be avoided to a certain extent.

[0101] Second, in the existing liquid cooling schemes, the main heat dissipation media used include: electronic fluorinated liquid, mineral oil, BO heat conduction liquid, etc., and there may be more heat dissipation media in the future. For light of the same color, different liquids have different light reflectance and refractive index, causing the light to be deflected to different degrees, so that the light input amounts in the main light source receiver and the refracted light source receiver are different, and finally the light intensities analyzed by the spectrometer are also different. In order to cope with different heat dissipation media, by using light sources of three colors, RGB, and the spectrometer performs three samplings and three data analyses, the accuracy of liquid leakage determination for the liquid channel can be further improved, so that the liquid channel leakage determination device can be adapted to more application scenarios.

[0102] If the RGB light source emits light of the first color (for example: Red red light), and the spectrometer preliminarily analyzes and determines that there is liquid leakage, the RGB light source can be made to emit light of the second color (Green green light), and then let the spectrometer compare and analyze the intensity and wavelength of the light in the main light source receiver and the refracted light source receiver again; finally, let the RGB light source emit light of the third color (Blue blue light), and for the third time let the spectrometer compare and analyze the light intensity and wavelength in the main light source receiver and the refracted light source receiver.

[0103] By comparing and analyzing the difference changes of light of three different colors and different wavelengths, it is finally determined whether there is a problem of liquid leakage.

[0104] Through the above method, the outer shell of the liquid channel is monitored by optical technology, and three spectral samplings, comparisons and analyses are carried out on the leaked liquid by combining spectral analysis method to ensure the accuracy of liquid leakage detection. In addition, by using optical monitoring technology, non-contact liquid leakage detection is carried out, without complicated coils, which can avoid subsequent scrubbing and maintenance work, effectively reduce the later maintenance cost. At the same time, it can effectively solve the disadvantages of the existing technical solutions such as untimely and inaccurate liquid leakage detection, and can also effectively solve the disadvantages of difficult later maintenance and high cost of the existing technical solutions.

[0105] It should be noted that, for method embodiments, for the sake of simple description, they are all expressed as a series of action combinations. However, those skilled in the art should be aware that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited by the described action sequences, because according to the embodiments of the present invention, certain steps can be performed in other sequences or simultaneously. Secondly, those skilled in the art should also be aware that the embodiments described in the specification are all preferred embodiments, and the actions involved are not necessarily essential for the embodiments of the present invention.

[0106] Referring to Figure 6 , a structural block diagram of a liquid server provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The server 600 may specifically include:

[0107] A liquid channel, which is configured with a corresponding light source device 601 and a refracted light source acquisition device 602. The light source device 601 is used to emit a light beam to the refracted light source acquisition device 602, and the refracted light source acquisition device 602 is used to generate one or more types of optical parameters for the light beam. When the optical parameters reach a preset threshold, it is determined that the liquid channel leaks liquid.

[0108] A server is a type of computer, which runs faster, has a higher load, and is more expensive than an ordinary computer. The server provides computing or application services for other client computers (such as terminals like PC computers, smart phones, ATMs, and even large devices such as train systems) in the network. The server has high-speed CPU computing power, long-term reliable operation, strong I / O external data throughput capacity, and better scalability.

[0109] Generally speaking, according to the services provided by the server, the server generally has the ability to undertake response service requests, undertake services, and guarantee services. As an electronic device, the internal structure of the server is very complex, but it is not much different from the internal structure of an ordinary computer, such as: CPU, hard disk, memory, system, system bus, etc.

[0110] With the advancement of science and technology, servers have also evolved into different types, and the functions of different types are also different. The liquid channel leakage judgment device of the embodiment of the present invention can include a light source device 601 and a refraction light source acquisition device 602. The liquid channel leakage judgment device of the embodiment of the present invention can be installed in different types of servers, for example, rack servers. Rack servers have a unified standard in appearance and adopt an industrial standardized production model. Both the size and model are precisely and meticulously designed, reflecting the brand's uniqueness; it is shaped like a computer and is a multi-functional server; in actual application, its internal structure can be reasonably optimized and modified to better reduce the floor space and increase the storage space; it is mainly divided into 1U, 2U, 3U, 4U... and other standards. Generally speaking, 1U takes up less space, but has relatively low performance and scalability, which is more suitable for fields and enterprises with relatively fixed businesses, while standards above 4U have higher performance and scalability and can play a greater value.

[0111] Another example is a multi-node server. As the name suggests, a multi-node server is a server with multiple nodes. It is composed of multiple nodes and an overall management unit of the management device. It can reduce the load on the server, can be diverted and flexibly used, and can also be used as a virtual disk server.

[0112] Multi-node servers can integrate more processors and I / O expansion capabilities in a smaller space, significantly reducing user space costs and significantly improving system performance. Multiple nodes within the chassis can share power and liquid cooling channels, significantly improving power efficiency and system heat dissipation.

The audio output unit 803 includes a speaker, a buzzer, and a receiver, etc.

[0140] The input unit 804 is used to receive audio or video signals. The input unit 804 may include a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) 8041 and a microphone 8042. The GPU 8041 processes the image data of static pictures or videos obtained by an image capturing device (such as a camera) in a video capture mode or an image capture mode.

[0141] The electronic device 800 further includes at least one sensor 805, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors.
