Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device structure technology, and in particular to a compact cooling pipeline for a turntable. Background Technology

[0002] In integrated rotary table equipment, multiple components requiring liquid cooling are typically installed inside the rotary table; for ease of description, they are collectively referred to as "heat loads." Coolant entering the rotary table requires water joints and numerous water pipes. After entering the rotary table through the water joints, the coolant is distributed to each heat load as needed using a water distribution device. The coolant flowing through the heat loads is collected by a water collection device and then flows out of the rotary table through the water joints, completing the cooling cycle.

[0003] In conventional designs, a separate distributor and collector are typically designed to perform water distribution and collection functions, and are fixedly installed in a certain position within the turntable. The water outlet of the water joint is connected to the distributor via a water pipe, and the distributor has several outlets that are connected to the water pipes between each heat load inlet. The collector has several return outlets that are connected to the water pipes between each heat load outlet, and the collector outlet is connected to the water joint return outlet via a water pipe, forming a coolant circulation loop.

[0004] The above-mentioned pipe layout structure occupies a large space, has a large number of pipes and long lengths, and the pipe layout path is difficult to plan, appearing messy and disorganized. It is usually used in turntables with ample space and a small number of heat loads. However, this pipe layout structure is very difficult to implement in turntables with relatively small pipe layout space, a large number of heat loads, and especially large pipe diameters. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Inlet pipe II and return pipe II are arranged inside the rotating frame column;

[0009] The water distribution pipe assembly and the water collection pipe assembly are conformal to the rotating frame column; the water distribution pipe assembly and the water collection pipe assembly surround the outside of the rotating frame column.

[0012] A branch water inlet is installed at water inlet pipe III, and a corresponding water outlet is installed at each heat load water inlet location;

[0013] Water distribution pipe I and water distribution pipe II are assembled into a ring shape using quick-installation clamps; water distribution pipe I [4-1] and water distribution pipe II [4-2] are formed by combining metal flexible hoses and rigid pipes.

[0031] Turntable base 1, rotating frame 2, water joint 3, water distribution pipeline assembly 4, water collection pipeline assembly 5, water pipe clamp 6, quick-install clamp 7, multi-section water inlet pipe and multi-section water return pipe.

[0032] The pipelines and the rotating shaft of the water joint 3 are arranged in a compact manner. The inlet pipe II9 and the return pipe II12 are arranged inside the rotating frame column 2-1 to reduce the space occupied.
