Description

[0002] Current liquid cooling solutions involve filling a liquid cooling tank with coolant. However, coolant costs are high, and the equipment size is relatively small, making it difficult to effectively fill the tank's internal space. This results in low coolant utilization and increases deployment costs for customers. To reduce costs, related technologies add filler blocks to the empty areas of the tank to improve coolant utilization. However, in practical applications, liquid cooling equipment is usually lifted and placed into the tank by a robotic arm and automatically secured using clips. But because the filler blocks have low density and large volume, the buoyancy of the liquid cooling equipment increases, causing the clips to fail to properly engage, requiring manual intervention to hold the equipment in place.

[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than that shown here.

[0057] The terms "first" and "second" in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the term "comprising" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive protection. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatuses. The term "multiple" in this application can mean at least two, for example, two, three, or more, and is not limited by the embodiments of this application.

[0058] The inventors discovered that current liquid cooling solutions involve filling the tank with coolant. However, this method is costly, the equipment is small, and it doesn't effectively fill the tank's internal space, resulting in low coolant utilization and increased deployment costs for customers. To reduce costs, related technologies add filler blocks to the empty areas of the tank to improve coolant utilization. However, in practical applications, liquid cooling equipment is usually lifted and placed into the tank by a robotic arm and automatically secured using clips. But because the filler blocks have low density and large volume, the buoyancy of the liquid cooling equipment increases, causing the clips to fail to fit smoothly into the slots, requiring manual intervention to hold the equipment in place.

[0059] In view of this, this application proposes a liquid cooling device, a gas filling and defilling control method, an electronic device, and a storage medium for improving coolant utilization and simplifying the use of the liquid cooling device. The inventive concept of this application can be summarized as follows: providing a device including a housing, a gas bag, a heat source, and a gas bag control component, wherein: the heat source and the gas bag are disposed inside the housing; the gas bag can change shape according to changes in the internal gas to fill the internal space of the liquid cooling device; and the gas bag control component is used to inflate or deflate the gas bag.

[0060] For ease of understanding, the following describes a liquid cooling device provided in an embodiment of this application, wherein:

[0061] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of a liquid cooling device according to an embodiment of this application, including: a housing 10, an air bag 20, a heat source 30, and an air bag control assembly 40, wherein:

[0062] The heat source 30 and the air bag 20 are installed inside the housing 10; the air bag 20 can change shape according to the changes in the internal gas so that the internal space of the liquid cooling equipment is filled; the air bag control component 40 is used to inflate or deflate the air bag 20.

[0063] In this application, by setting up a variable volume air bag, the air bag can be inflated by controlling the air pump after the liquid cooling equipment is fixed to the Tank, so that the air bag fills the internal space of the liquid cooling equipment, thereby improving the utilization rate of coolant, and eliminating the need for manual intervention to fix the liquid cooling equipment.

[0064] For ease of understanding, the following is... Figure 1 Each part is explained separately:

[0065] 1. Airbag

[0066] In related technologies, in order to improve coolant utilization and thus reduce the cost of cooling system deployment for customers, therefore, in ways such as... Figure 2 Filler blocks are deployed in the blank areas of the box shown, allowing coolant to flow in the gaps between the filler blocks to cool the heat source, thereby improving the coolant utilization rate.

[0067] However, in practical applications, liquid cooling equipment needs to be lifted by a robotic arm and placed into the tank. However, due to the low density and large volume of the drain block, the buoyancy of the liquid cooling equipment increases, resulting in the equipment buckle not being able to fall smoothly into the slot. Therefore, in this application, a variable-shape air bag is used to replace the filling block.

[0068] like Figure 1 As shown, in this application, the airbags and heat source can be arranged sequentially in a horizontal direction within the housing; in other embodiments, those skilled in the art can also set the position of the airbags according to the position of the heat source within the housing; for example: Figure 3 As shown, if the heat source is located at the top of the housing, the air bag and the heat source can be arranged longitudinally inside the housing. (This application...) Figure 1 and Figure 3 Only two embodiments are given, and this application does not limit the way the air bag is set.

[0069] In some possible embodiments, if the heat source is in the enclosure, such as Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, to maximize the filling of the internal space of the chamber, multiple air bags can be placed between the heat sources, such as... Figure 5 As shown, an air bag is placed between every two heat sources, allowing the internal space of the enclosure to be largely filled. This application does not limit the number of air bags; those skilled in the art can determine the number of air bags according to their needs.

[0070] 2. Drainage plate

[0071] In this embodiment, to further improve the utilization rate of the coolant, it is necessary to ensure that the coolant flows around the heat source as much as possible. Therefore, in this application, guide vanes are provided around the heat source, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the guide vanes are arranged around the heat source, with gaps between them to allow coolant to pass through. To enable coolant to flow between the guide vanes, outlets are provided at both ends of the guide vanes to allow coolant to circulate between them.

[0072] like Figure 7A The image shown is a top view of a liquid cooling device including a flow guide plate provided in an embodiment of this application. The flow guide plate is disposed around the heat source, and the blank area on the left is filled when the air bag is inflated. Therefore, the coolant can only flow in the gap between the flow guide plate and the heat source, thereby greatly improving the utilization rate of the coolant and reducing the deployment cost of the coolant.

[0073] like Figure 7B As shown in the embodiment of this application, multiple guide vanes can be connected to form a guide vane group, with an outlet at both the upper and lower ends to allow coolant to flow between the guide vane group.

[0074] In this embodiment, the number of diversion plates is not limited, and technicians can set them according to the number of heat sources. One or more groups of diversion plates can also be installed inside the housing. This application does not limit the specific arrangement of the diversion plates.

[0075] 3. Airbag control components

[0076] In this embodiment of the application, an air bag control component is provided to facilitate the control of the inflation and deflation of the air bag and thus the change in its shape.

[0077] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the air bag control assembly includes an inflation pump and an exhaust valve, wherein the inflation pump is connected to the air bag and is used to inflate the air bag; the exhaust valve is connected to the air bag and is used to deflate the air bag.

[0078] By setting up an air pump and an air vent, the liquid cooling equipment can be inflated after it falls into the tank, thus securing the liquid cooling equipment in the tank without manual intervention.

[0079] In this application, as Figure 9 As shown, the air bag control assembly also includes a drive circuit, wherein the drive circuit is electrically connected to the inflation pump and the deflation valve respectively, and is used to control the inflation pump to inflate the air bag; and is also used to control the deflation valve to deflate the air bag.

[0080] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, a pressure sensor connected to the air bag is installed to facilitate the detection of the inflation status inside the air bag, wherein:

[0081] The air pressure sensor is connected to the air bag and electrically connected to the drive circuit. It is used to send an inflation signal to the drive circuit when the air pressure inside the air bag is lower than a first preset value; it is also used to send a stop inflation signal to the drive circuit when the air pressure inside the air bag is higher than a second preset value.

[0082] After receiving an inflation signal, the drive circuit controls the inflation pump to inflate the air bag. If it receives a stop inflation signal, it controls the inflation pump to stop inflating the air bag.

[0083] In this embodiment of the application, before the liquid cooling device is placed into the Tank, the gas pressure in the air bag can be detected by a pressure sensor. If it is determined that there is gas in the air bag at this time, a venting signal is sent to the drive circuit. After receiving the venting signal, the drive circuit controls the exhaust valve to vent the air bag until it receives a stop venting signal sent by the pressure sensor, and then controls the exhaust valve to stop venting the air bag.

[0084] After introducing a liquid cooling device provided in the embodiments of this application, based on the same inventive concept, a control method for a liquid cooling device provided in the embodiments of this application is described below:

[0085] like Figure 11 The diagram shown is an overall flowchart of a gas filling and discharging control method provided in an embodiment of this application, wherein:

[0086] In step 1101: the air pressure inside the air bag is detected in real time using an air pressure sensor;

[0087] In step 1102: if the air pressure inside the air bag is detected to be lower than the first preset value, then control the air pump to inflate the air bag;

[0088] In step 1103: If the air pressure inside the air bag is detected to be higher than the second preset value, the air pump is controlled to stop inflating the air bag.

[0089] For example, the first preset value is 10, and the second preset value is 30. If the air pressure sensor detects that the gas volume in the air bag is 8, the air pump is controlled to inflate the air bag until the air pressure sensor detects that the air pressure in the air bag is greater than 30, then the air pump is controlled to stop inflating.

[0090] In some possible embodiments, if the air bag control component receives an air release command, it releases air from the air bag by controlling the air release valve.

[0091] In this application, by setting up a variable-volume air bag, the air bag can be inflated by an air pump after the liquid cooling equipment is fixed to the tank, so that the air bag fills the internal space of the liquid cooling equipment. This improves the utilization rate of the coolant and eliminates the need for manual intervention to fix the liquid cooling equipment. Furthermore, the volume of the air bag can be controlled in real time according to the needs of technicians, making the control of the liquid cooling equipment more flexible.

[0092] like Figure 12 As shown, based on the same inventive concept, a gas filling and discharging control device 1200 is proposed, comprising:

[0093] The detection module 12001 is used to detect the air pressure inside the air bag in real time via an air pressure sensor;

[0094] The inflation / deflation module 12002 is used to control the inflation pump to inflate the air bag if the air pressure inside the air bag is detected to be lower than a first preset value.

[0095] The inflation / deflation module 12002 is also used to control the inflation pump to stop inflating the air bag if the air pressure inside the air bag is detected to be higher than a second preset value.

[0096] In some possible embodiments, the inflation / deflation module is further used for:

[0097] If an exhaust command is received, the exhaust valve is controlled to release air from the air bag.
