Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of heat dissipation equipment technology for electronic devices, and specifically to a liquid connector with leakage monitoring and collection functions. Background Technology
[0002] Fluid connectors are typically off-the-shelf products, connecting to structural components such as liquid-cooled cold plates via flanges or threads. While offering convenient installation and disassembly, this also introduces the risk of leakage. Both flange and threaded connections primarily rely on sealing rings and gaskets for sealing, which are less effective and reliable than welding. Damaged sealing rings (gaskets) or defects in the structural components can lead to leakage. Furthermore, coolant leakage can occur during the insertion and removal of fluid connectors. If coolant flows onto electronic equipment, it can cause short circuits, equipment burnout, and affect overall system performance.
[0003] Previous researchers have done a lot of work on connector leakage monitoring and protection. The paper "A Liquid-Monitoring Connector" proposed a liquid connector with a fluid guide that uses capillary principle to guide the leaked liquid during insertion and removal to a collector for real-time monitoring and alarm. However, this device cannot monitor leakage at the connector mounting interface. The paper "A Leakage Collection and Monitoring Device for a Blind-Made Fluid Connector" proposed a connector leakage collection and monitoring device. This device has a structure similar to a fluid distributor, is large in size, requires design for specific structures, and has low reusability. Summary of the Invention

[0035] Reference Figure 1-9 The present invention proposes a liquid connector with leakage detection and collection functions, comprising: a pair of sockets and plugs;
[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the socket includes a socket housing (1), a valve core (2), a socket valve stem (3), and an elastic element A (4). The socket housing (1) has a through cavity, one end of which is the mounting end, and a limiting shoulder A is provided on the inner side of the port at the other end of the socket housing (1). The valve core (2) is axially movable inside the socket housing (1) and is supported by the elastic element A (4) against the limiting shoulder A. A sealing structure (5) is provided between the outer peripheral wall of the valve core (2) and the inner peripheral wall of the socket housing (1). The valve core (2) has a through central hole. The socket valve stem (3) is vertically installed inside the socket housing (1). A valve head A (301) is provided at the top of the socket valve stem (3). The valve head A (301) is located inside the central hole of the valve core (2) and forms a blockage to the central hole. When the valve core 2 moves axially to compress the elastic element A4, the central hole of the valve core 2 can be disengaged from the valve head A (301) and enter the open state.
[0037] like Figure 4-7 As shown, the plug includes a plug housing (6) with a through cavity, a plug inner housing (7) with a through cavity and coaxially disposed within the plug housing (6), a plug valve stem (8), an elastic element B (11), and a sensor assembly (9); a connector (10) is provided between the plug inner housing (7) and the plug housing (6) to connect the two, one end of the plug inner housing (7) is located inside the plug housing (6) and has a gap between it and the port of the plug housing (6); the plug valve stem (8) is vertically disposed inside the plug inner housing (7) and is supported by the elastic element B (11) so that it can move axially, the plug valve stem (8) has a valve head B (801), the valve head B (801) is located at the port of the plug inner housing (7) and forms a seal on the port. When the plug valve stem (8) moves axially to compress the elastic element B11, the port of the plug inner housing (7) can be disengaged from the valve head B (801) of the plug valve stem (8) and enter the open state.
[0038] Reference Figure 8 The sensor assembly (9) includes a first conductive wire (901) and a second conductive wire (902) vertically disposed between the inner shell (7) and the outer shell (6) of the plug. The first conductive wire (901) is located on one side of the second conductive wire (902). The ends of the first conductive wire (901) and the second conductive wire (902) have a height difference, and one end of both is located outside the outer shell (6) of the plug to form a terminal, so that the circuit between the first conductive wire (901) and the second conductive wire (902) is broken and there is no signal output.
[0039] Reference Figure 9In the working state, the plug and socket are inserted to make valve head A (301) dock with valve head B (801). One end of the plug inner shell (7) extends into the socket outer shell (1) to dock with valve core (2) and pushes valve core (2) to the state of separation from valve head A (301), so that valve core (2) and plug inner shell (7) are connected to form a flow channel cavity (a).
[0040] In use, the socket is installed on the cold plate with screws, ensuring the installation area is sealed. The plug is inserted into the socket, with one end of the plug installed on the cold plate with screws, ensuring that the installation area at that end is sealed. The other end of the plug is installed on another cold plate, ensuring that the installation area is sealed, thus connecting the two cold plates through the flow channel cavity a to form a liquid circuit. When leakage occurs, coolant enters the outside of the flow channel cavity. When the coolant accumulates to a certain volume, it simultaneously contacts the first conductive wire (901) and the second conductive wire (902) to make the circuit conductive, forming a current. Whether the circuit is conductive can be used to determine whether there is leakage, thereby achieving the purpose of leakage monitoring.
[0041] In the specific operation process, the sensor assembly (9) is connected to the host computer to monitor the current (or resistance) through the host computer. When the first conductive line (901) and the second conductive line (902) are connected, the host computer issues a leakage alarm.
[0042] In a further embodiment, the sensor assembly (9) further includes an insulating cylinder (903) made of insulating material, which is coaxially disposed between the plug inner shell (7) and the plug outer shell (6). A gap exists between the insulating cylinder (903) and the plug inner shell (7) to form a monitoring cavity (b). A first conductive wire (901) and a second conductive wire (902) are fixed to the inner wall of the plug inner shell (7). When leakage occurs, coolant enters the monitoring cavity (b). When the coolant accumulates to a certain volume, it simultaneously contacts the first conductive wire (901) and the second conductive wire (902) to make the circuit conductive, forming a current to trigger a leakage alarm.
[0043] To further improve the accuracy of leakage detection by sensor assembly 9, in this embodiment, the first conductive wire (901) and the second conductive wire (902) each include several vertically arranged conductive wires and connecting wires that connect the conductive wires in series. One end of the connecting wire is located outside the plug housing (6) to form a terminal. The conductive wires in the first conductive wire (901) and the conductive wires in the second conductive wire (902) are alternately arranged along the outer periphery of the plug inner housing (7), and there is a height difference between the ends of the conductive wires in the first conductive wire (901) and the conductive wires in the second conductive wire (902). When leakage occurs at any point, the conductive wire at that point will become conductive to form a circuit.
[0044] In addition, in order to ensure the reliability of the installation of the first conductive wire (901) and the second conductive wire (902) with the insulating cylinder (903), this embodiment provides a number of vertically extending and circumferentially spaced mounting grooves on the inner circumferential wall of the insulating cylinder (903). Each conductive wire in the first conductive wire (901) and each conductive wire in the second conductive wire (902) are alternately arranged in each mounting groove.
[0045] To facilitate disassembly and assembly while ensuring the insulation cylinder 903 is fixed within the plug inner shell 7, this embodiment provides an axially extending bayonet at one end of the insulation cylinder (903), which is then engaged with the connector (10) to circumferentially fix the insulation cylinder 903. A retaining ring (12) is provided above the other end of the insulation cylinder (903) to prevent axial movement of the insulation cylinder (903), thereby fixing the insulation cylinder 903 axially and thus securing it.
[0046] Furthermore, the side wall of the plug housing (6) is provided with a wire hole, through which the connecting wires of the first conductive wire (901) and the second conductive wire (902) are led out and an insulating seal is provided at the wire hole. Specifically: the connecting wires of the first conductive wire (901) and the second conductive wire (902) have a glass sintered body 19 inside the wire hole to form an insulating seal.
[0047] In order to improve the sealing performance inside the connector, this embodiment provides a valve stem sealing ring (18) fixed on the valve head A (301) at the junction of the valve head A (301) and the center hole, and a sealing structure (5) is provided at the junction of the valve core (2) and the limiting shoulder A.
[0048] Meanwhile, a limiting shoulder B is provided on the inner side of the port of the plug inner shell (7) located inside the plug outer shell (6); a limiting boss is provided on the outer periphery of the valve head B (801), and the limiting boss abuts against the limiting shoulder B, so that the limiting shoulder B and the elastic element B11 cooperate with each other to ensure that the plug valve stem 8 is fixed in the plug inner shell 7. In addition, a valve stem sealing ring B (20) fixed to the limiting boss is provided at the contact point between the limiting boss and the limiting shoulder B.
[0049] In a further embodiment, a lower sealing ring A (13) is provided on the end face of the mounting end of the socket housing (1). An inner sealing ring (17) is also provided on the inner side of the port at the other end of the socket housing (1), and in the plugged state, the inner sealing ring (17) holds the outer wall of the plug inner shell (7). The design of the lower sealing ring A (13) can ensure the sealing of the socket mounting surface without adding external parts, while the design of the inner sealing ring (17) forms a seal at the contact point between the socket housing (1) and the plug inner shell (7). When the internal seal of the connector fails, the seal of the mounting surface acts as a protection to prevent liquid leakage.
[0050] Similarly, in this embodiment, a lower sealing ring B (15) is provided on one end face of the plug housing (6), and a sealing gasket (14) is provided on the other end face of the plug housing (6); a lower sealing ring C (16) is provided on the end face of the plug inner shell (7) on the same side as the end where the lower sealing ring B is located, so that the design of the lower sealing ring C (16), the lower sealing ring B (15) and the sealing gasket (14) can ensure the sealing of the mounting surfaces at both ends of the plug during use without adding external parts.
[0051] In a further embodiment, in the mating state, the inner ring surface of the sealing gasket (14) is attached to the outer peripheral wall of the socket housing (1) to form a seal, and the inner ring surface of the sealing gasket (14) forms a seal at the socket housing 1.
[0052] To increase the ease of assembly and disassembly of the connector, in this embodiment, an annular groove is provided on the inner wall of the socket housing (1), and a limiting ring A (21) is installed in the annular groove. The socket valve stem (3) is fixed on the limiting ring A (21). The elastic element A (4) is a cylindrical spring and is fitted on the socket valve stem (3). One end of the spring abuts against the valve core (2), and the other end abuts against the bottom of the socket valve stem (3).
[0053] Similarly, the inner shell (7) of the plug is provided with a support seat (22). The support seat (22) includes a base and a protrusion vertically arranged on the base. The protrusion has a central cavity, and the base is provided with a liquid passage hole on the outer periphery of the protrusion. The lower part of the plug valve rod (8) is inserted into the central cavity of the protrusion. The elastic element B (11) is cylindrical and is fitted on the plug valve rod (8). One end of the elastic element abuts against the lower end of the valve head B (801), and the other end abuts against the base.
[0054] The inner wall of the plug inner shell (7) is provided with an annular groove and a limiting ring B (23) installed in the annular groove; the support seat (22) is located on the limiting ring B (23) and is supported by the limiting ring B (23).
[0055] As can be seen from the above, when using this invention, the socket and plug are respectively installed on the liquid pipeline or cold plate and inserted together to form a liquid circuit. This allows the coolant to enter the flow channel cavity a from the liquid pipeline or cold plate connected to the socket, and then flow into the liquid pipeline or cold plate connected to the plug. When leakage occurs (generally due to failure of internal sealing rings or coolant splashing during insertion or removal), the coolant enters the outside of the flow channel cavity. When the coolant accumulates to a certain volume, it simultaneously contacts the first conductive wire (901) and the second conductive wire (902) to make the circuit conductive, forming a current, and subsequently triggering a leakage alarm. This invention has high integration, is easy to disassemble, has a high reusability, and can be used as a shelving product in various applications.
[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
