Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of flow resistance testing during the research and development stage of liquid cooling plates, specifically a method for efficiently testing the flow resistance of liquid cooling plates. Background Technology
[0002] Today, specialized computers are developing towards high integration, such as cloud servers and central computers. As functionality increases within a unit volume, power consumption inevitably rises as well. Liquid forced flow cooling technology is a preferred solution to resolve the contradiction between heat dissipation and high-density integration. Liquid cooling is divided into chassis-level and board-level cooling. Chassis-level liquid cooling refers to coolant flowing through internal pipes on the walls of electronic equipment chassis. The heat from high-power circuit boards is conducted to the chassis walls through their cold plates, and the fluid absorbs heat from the chassis walls, carrying the heat generated by the circuit boards to the outside of the chassis. Board-level cooling refers to coolant flowing directly into the cold plates of printed circuit boards through chassis pipes and connectors, directly carrying the heat transferred from high-power devices to the cold plates to the outside of the chassis. However, most existing devices still have some shortcomings. This invention proposes a new solution to address these deficiencies.
[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN105699048B discloses a flow resistance testing device and method for water-cooled radiators. The flow resistance testing device includes a power system, a flow control system, a temperature control system, and a testing platform. The power system includes a high-level water tank, a circulating water pool, pipelines, and a water pump. The pipelines include a water supply pipeline, an overflow pipeline, and a testing pipeline. The water level in the high-level water tank is adjusted through the water supply pipeline and the overflow pipeline to ensure water pressure stability. The flow rate is controlled by installing regulating valves, pressure gauges, and flow meters in the pipelines. The temperature control system regulates the water temperature to ensure stable circulating water medium temperature, thereby meeting the high-precision testing requirements for consistency of products in the same batch.
[0004] The existing technical solutions mentioned above have the following drawbacks: the device is prone to shaking and shifting during the testing process, resulting in inaccurate test results; the heat dissipation may be insufficient due to the different requirements of the cold plates; and the practical effect is not good. Therefore, we propose a high-efficiency method for testing the flow resistance of liquid cooling plates in order to solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

When the substrate body 6 is placed on the upper surface of the first rubber anti-slip pad 3, rotating the movable handle 503 causes the adjusting rod 501 to rotate on the outer frame 4 via the built-in bearing 502. This allows the movable clamping rod 504, which is threaded to the adjusting rod 501, to move back and forth. This facilitates the use of the second rubber anti-slip pad 505 to limit and clamp the substrate body 6, preventing shaking during testing and effectively improving the stability of the device.
[0038] The substrate body 6 is disposed inside the clamping assembly 5. Cover plates 9 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the substrate body 6, and a solder plate 8 is provided on the outer side of the cover plates 9.

The water inlet pipe 24 and the water outlet pipe 26 are arranged correspondingly about the center line of the water storage tank 20, which can improve the heat dissipation effect by adjusting the liquid temperature inside the water storage tank 20.
[0040] Example 2
[0041] like Figures 1-8As shown, a liquid-cooled plate flow resistance testing device includes a fixed support frame 2 installed on the upper left surface of a fixed mounting base 1, and a first rubber anti-slip pad 3 provided on the upper surface of the fixed support frame 2. An outer frame 4 is provided at the upper end of the fixed support frame 2, and clamping components 5 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the outer frame 4. An electric telescopic rod 10 is provided on the inner side of the upper end of the outer frame 4, and a third rubber anti-slip pad 11 is provided at the lower end of the electric telescopic rod 10. In this invention, the adjusting rod 501 is mounted on the outer frame 4 via a built-in bearing 502 to form a rotating structure. The adjusting rod 501 and the movable clamping rod 504 are connected by threads, and the movable clamping rod 504 is connected to the second rubber anti-slip pad 505 by adhesive bonding. When the substrate body 6 is placed on the upper surface of the first rubber anti-slip pad 3, rotating the movable handle 503 causes the adjusting rod 501 to rotate on the outer frame 4 via the built-in bearing 502. This allows the movable clamping rod 504, which is threaded to the adjusting rod 501, to move back and forth. This facilitates the use of the second rubber anti-slip pad 505 to limit and clamp the substrate body 6, preventing shaking during testing and effectively improving the stability of the device.
[0042] The substrate body 6 is disposed inside the clamping assembly 5. Cover plates 9 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the substrate body 6, and a solder plate 8 is provided on the outer side of the cover plates 9. A fixing handle 7 is provided at the left end of the substrate body 6, and a flow cavity 12 is formed inside the substrate body 6.

A movable protrusion 15, located inside the substrate body 6, is provided on the outer side of the removable plug body 13, and an elastic member, specifically a limiting spring 16, is provided on the outer side of the movable protrusion 15. This invention allows for the disassembly and replacement of the removable plug body 13 as needed to accommodate different sizes. The removable plug body 13 and the movable protrusion 15 are connected by a snap-fit mechanism, and the movable protrusion 15 forms an elastic telescopic structure inside the substrate body 6 via the limiting spring 16, improving the removability of the removable plug body 13.
[0043] The connecting hose 17 is located at the right end of the detachable plug body 13. The lower end of the connecting hose 17 is provided with a regulating valve 18. A water storage tank 20 connected to the fixed mounting base 1 is located below the connecting hose 17. A second sealing element 19 is provided at the connection between the connecting hose 17 and the water storage tank 20. A water inlet pipe 24 is provided at the lower end of the connecting hose 17.

[0044] Furthermore, a function button 22 is provided below the CNC display screen 21, a temperature control plate 23 is provided on the outside of the water storage tank 20, and a water outlet pipe 26 is provided on the rear side of the inside of the water storage tank 20, with a filter head 27 provided at the lower end of the water outlet pipe 26. The present invention provides a connecting hose 17 that passes through the water storage tank 20 and the inlet pipe 24 via a second sealing member 19 to form a communication structure. The inlet pipe 24 and the outlet pipe 26 are arranged in a corresponding manner about the center line of the water storage tank 20. The data displayed on the CNC display screen 21 can be adjusted by the function button 22, so that the temperature of the liquid inside the water storage tank 20 can be controlled by the temperature control plate 23, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.
[0045] Specifically, the plug models for testing the flow resistance of liquid-cooled plates include the following: inner diameters of 8mm, 8.5mm, 9mm, 10mm, and 12mm. The cold plate flow channel depths for testing the flow resistance of liquid-cooled plates include the following: depths of 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm. The different inner diameters of the removable plugs are designed to meet different pipe diameter requirements. With a fixed pipe diameter, the pressure drop of the cold plate is adjusted by changing the cold plate flow channel depth. Therefore, using removable plugs facilitates rapid testing to determine the flow channel depth that meets the pressure drop requirements. Generally, to obtain 20 sets of flow resistance test results, 20 different cold plate samples need to be fabricated. In this embodiment, by fabricating five types of removable plugs and four types of cold plates, 20 sets of flow resistance test results can be obtained, greatly reducing the cost of sample fabrication.
[0046] Example 3
[0047] like Figures 1-8 As shown, based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, a liquid-cooled plate flow resistance testing device and its flow resistance testing method include the following steps:
[0048] Step 1: First, connect the symmetrically arranged cover plate body 9 to the substrate body 6, and then connect the symmetrically arranged solder plate body 8 to the cover plate body 9. At this time, place the entire substrate body 6 on the first rubber anti-slip pad 3.
[0049] Step 2: Use clamping component 5 to limit and clamp the front and rear ends of the substrate body 6, and open the electric telescopic rod 10 to drive the third rubber anti-slip pad 11 to limit and fix the upper end of the substrate body 6. This operation can ensure the overall stability of the substrate body 6 and avoid shaking.
[0050] Step 3: Connect the detachable plug body 13 to the flow cavity 12 opened inside the base plate body 6 according to different needs;
[0051] Step 4: Connect the connecting hose 17, which is connected to the detachable plug body 13, to the water storage tank 20, and then adjust the data displayed on the CNC display screen 21 by adjusting the function button 22.
[0052] Determine the test temperature: Use the temperature control board 23 to control the temperature of the liquid inside the water storage tank 20.
[0053] Determine the test flow rate: Adjust the flow rate by adjusting the flow control panel on the digital control display. Flow rate is measured using a Turbine Flowmeter DN15, and the flow rate can be adjusted by controlling the flow valve. At this point, turning on the circulating water pump 25 will allow the liquid to enter the substrate body 6 from the inlet pipe 24 along the connecting hose 17, and then, after circulation testing, it will be discharged into the water storage tank 20 from the outlet pipe 26.
[0054] Example 4
[0055] Based on Embodiment 1, 2, or 3, firstly, the circulating water pump 25 is turned on to introduce liquid into the solder plate body 8 at a certain flow rate Q, filling the channels of the solder plate body 8 with liquid. A flow resistance testing device is connected in series to the test passage of the flow cavity 12. The flow resistance testing device is used to detect the flow state in the passage. A digital pressure gauge (DPG-005) is used to measure the pressure at the inlet and outlet of the passage. The pressure difference ΔP generated by the liquid passing through this flow channel at a given flow rate is recorded. The fluid resistance can be calculated using Darcy's formula. The measuring instrument is then set to flow resistance measurement mode, and the two connecting probes are inserted into the desired channel positions. The known flow rate Q is input to obtain the microchannel flow resistance value.
[0056] Working principle:
[0057] like Figures 1-8 As shown, when using this high-efficiency method for testing the flow resistance of liquid-cooled plates, firstly, all parts are assembled, and then the fixed support frame 2 is stably placed on the ground using the fixed mounting base 1, specifically as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In this configuration, the cover plate body 9 and the solder plate body 8 are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the substrate body 6. Pulling the fixing handle 7 places the assembled substrate body 6 on the upper surface of the first rubber anti-slip pad 3. The adjusting rod 501 forms a rotating structure on the outer frame 4 through the built-in bearing 502. The adjusting rod 501 is connected to the movable clamping rod 504 by a thread, and the movable clamping rod 504 is connected to the second rubber anti-slip pad 505 by an adhesive. When the substrate body 6 is placed on the upper surface of the first rubber anti-slip pad 3, rotating the movable handle 503 causes the adjusting rod 501 to rotate on the outer frame 4 through the built-in bearing 502. This causes the movable clamping rod 504, which is threaded to the adjusting rod 501, to move back and forth, facilitating the limiting clamping and fixing of the substrate body 6 using the second rubber anti-slip pad 505. Then, opening the electric telescopic rod 10 drives the third rubber anti-slip pad 11, which can limit and fix the upper end of the substrate body 6, preventing shaking during testing under the action of the clamping assembly 5.
[0058] Specific examples Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this design, the removable plug body 13 has inner diameters of 8, 8.5, 9, 10, and 12, allowing for easy disassembly and replacement to accommodate different sizes. The removable plug body 13 is connected to the movable protrusion 15 via a snap-fit mechanism through the flow cavity 12. The movable protrusion 15, via a limiting spring 16, forms an elastic telescopic structure on the inner side of the base plate body 6, improving the removability of the removable plug body 13. A first sealing element 14, which fits against the base plate body 6, is located at the left end of the removable plug body 13, enhancing sealing. Specifically, the flow resistance testing equipment and the temperature regulation of the water tank 20 utilize existing technologies; specific models will not be detailed here, as long as they enable water temperature regulation and flow resistance testing.
[0059] Specific examples Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 8In this process, the connecting hose 17, which is connected to the detachable plug body 13, is connected to the water storage tank 20. At this time, pressing the function button 22 displays the temperature data on the CNC display screen 21 for viewing. The temperature inside the water storage tank 20 can be controlled by the temperature control board 23, which also achieves the heat dissipation effect. A second seal 19 is provided at the connection between the connecting hose 17 and the water storage tank 20. The connecting hose 17 is connected to the circulating water pump 25 through the water inlet pipe 24. When the circulating water pump 25 is turned on, the liquid in the water storage tank 20 can be transported to the flow cavity 12 opened in the base plate body 6 through the connecting hose 17. The lower end of the connecting hose 17 is provided with a regulating valve 18, which can be manually adjusted to adjust the flow rate. After circulation testing, the liquid can be filtered through the filter head 27 along the water outlet pipe 26 and then discharged back into the water storage tank 20. This cycle is repeated. According to this method, only 4 cold plates and 10 plugs are needed to complete the process.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
