Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of server technology, and more specifically to immersion liquid-cooled servers. Background Technology
[0002] A server rack is a cabinet used to house server hosts. It is used to assemble and install panels, plug-ins, boxes, electronic components, devices, and mechanical parts and components to form a complete installation box. A server rack consists of a frame and a cover plate, and generally has a rectangular shape. It is placed on the floor. In order to maintain the normal operating temperature of the server, a cooling system is usually required to cool the server. Common cooling systems are divided into air cooling, cold plate liquid cooling, and immersion liquid cooling. Among them, immersion liquid cooling has the advantages of low power consumption and high cooling capacity.
[0003] When a server uses an immersion liquid cooling system, the server host needs to be submerged in an insulating liquid. To ensure the stability of the server during operation, the server host needs to be secured to the rack with bolts. However, because the server requires periodic inspection and maintenance, the server host needs to be removed from the rack. Since the server host is bolted to the rack, tools are required for disassembly, which involves inserting the tools into the insulating liquid, making the process difficult. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an immersion liquid-cooled server to solve the problem that tools are difficult to operate when disassembling the server host because they have to be inserted into the insulating liquid.
[0005] This invention provides an immersion liquid-cooled server, including a cabinet, a server host, a positioning frame, and a disassembly / assembly mechanism. The cabinet has an opening at the top for holding an insulating liquid. The server host has a protruding mounting block at its bottom, with a plug-in slot on the mounting block. The positioning frame is fixed inside the cabinet and has an internal receiving slot. The server host is detachably connected to the receiving slot. The receiving slot has a plug-in hole on its wall. The disassembly / assembly mechanism is located outside the positioning frame and movably connected to it. One end of the disassembly / assembly mechanism is a force-bearing part, and the other end has a plug-in part. The force-bearing part is positioned near the opening. When the force-bearing part moves under a force in a first direction, the plug-in part passes through the plug-in hole and engages with the plug-in slot. When the force-bearing part moves under a force in a second direction, the plug-in part separates from the plug-in slot. The first and second directions are opposite to each other.
[0006] Beneficial effects: By setting a force-bearing part and a plug-in part on the disassembly and assembly mechanism, the operator only needs to apply force to the force-bearing part in the first direction to achieve the mating of the plug-in part and the plug-in slot, which helps to fix the server host in the positioning frame and achieve locking and limiting of the server host, thereby realizing the installation of the server host; applying force to the force-bearing part in the second direction can separate the plug-in part from the plug-in slot, which helps to separate the server host from the positioning frame and achieve the unlocking of the server host, thereby realizing the disassembly of the server host; the disassembly and assembly mechanism can realize tool-free installation and disassembly of the server host, and the force-bearing part is located near the rack opening, which is convenient for the operator and improves the efficiency of server host disassembly and assembly.
[0007] In one optional embodiment, the disassembly and assembly mechanism includes a connecting plate and a plug-in assembly; the connecting plate is hinged to the positioning frame; the top end of the connecting plate constitutes the force-bearing part; the plug-in assembly is disposed at the bottom end of the connecting plate and constitutes the plug-in part.
[0008] Beneficial effects: By setting a connecting plate, the force-bearing part and the insertion part can be connected into a whole structure. Since the connecting plate is hinged to the positioning frame, when the top of the connecting plate is subjected to a force in the first direction or a force in the second direction, the connecting plate can rotate relative to the positioning frame. Thus, when a force is applied to the force-bearing part, the insertion part can be engaged with or separated from the insertion slot. By setting an insertion assembly at the bottom of the connecting plate, the disassembly and assembly mechanism can be engaged with or separated from the insertion slot.
[0009] In one optional embodiment, the disassembly and assembly mechanism further includes a first elastic element disposed between the top end of the connecting plate and the positioning frame, for applying a force in the first direction to the force-bearing part.
[0010] Beneficial effects: By setting the first elastic element, an elastic connection can be achieved between the top of the connecting plate and the positioning frame. When the operator stops applying the second direction force to the top of the connecting plate, under the elastic action of the first elastic element, the force-bearing part bears the first direction force, and the top of the connecting plate moves in the first direction, thereby realizing the insertion and engagement of the plug-in part and the plug-in slot. The server host can be installed in the rack without applying external force, thus ensuring the stability of the connection between the server host and the rack, and ensuring the stability of the server host installation.
[0011] In one optional embodiment, the plug-in assembly includes a plug-in block that is slidably disposed within the plug-in hole. One end of the plug-in block is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate and slides in cooperation with the bottom end of the connecting plate along the length of the connecting plate. The other end is used for plugging into the plug-in slot.
[0012] Beneficial effects: By setting one end of the plug-in block to be rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate and slidingly engaging with the bottom end of the connecting plate along the length of the connecting plate, when the top end of the connecting plate is subjected to a force, the bottom end of the connecting plate moves away from or towards the positioning frame, ensuring that the plug-in block always slides along the plugging direction, which helps to achieve the plugging engagement between the plug-in block and the plugging slot.
[0013] In one optional embodiment, the plug-in assembly further includes a connecting plate and a second elastic member; one end of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the end of the plug-in block away from the plug-in slot; one end of the second elastic member is fixedly connected to the positioning frame, and the other end is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting plate.
[0014] Beneficial effects: By setting a connecting plate, the second elastic element and the plug block can be connected into a whole structure; by setting a second elastic element, an elastic connection between the connecting plate and the positioning frame can be achieved. When the operator stops applying the second directional force to the top of the connecting plate, under the elastic action of the second elastic element, the plug part bears the second directional force, and the bottom end of the connecting plate moves towards the positioning frame. Since the plug block is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, the plug block will move towards the plug slot under the drive of the connecting plate, thereby realizing the installation of the server host in the rack without external force, thus ensuring the stability of the connection between the server host and the rack, ensuring the stability of the server host installation, and the second elastic element can further ensure the stability of the connection between the plug component and the positioning frame, preventing the plug block from being unintentionally detached from the plug slot.
[0015] In one optional embodiment, the plug-in assembly further includes a connecting plate and a telescopic rod, one end of the connecting plate being fixedly connected to the end of the plug-in block away from the plug-in slot; one end of the telescopic rod being fixedly connected to the positioning frame, and the other end being fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting plate.
[0016] Beneficial effects: By setting a connecting plate, the plug-in block and the telescopic rod can be connected into a whole structure. When the plug-in block moves in the plugging direction, the telescopic rod can guide the plug-in block to move, prevent the plug-in block from shifting, and ensure that the plug-in block can be plugged into the plugging slot.
[0017] In one optional embodiment, the bottom end of the connecting plate is provided with a connecting groove, and two slides are respectively provided on the two groove walls of the connecting groove, the slides extending along the length direction of the connecting plate; two slide rods are respectively protruding from the two opposite side walls of the plug block, and the two slide rods are respectively rotatably connected to the two slides and respectively slidingly engaged with the two slides.
[0018] Beneficial effects: By setting up the slide and slide bar, both sliding fit between the plug block and the connecting plate can be achieved, as well as rotatable connection between the plug block and the connecting plate; and the slide extends along the length of the connecting plate, so that the bottom end of the plug block and the connecting plate can slide along the length of the connecting plate.
[0019] In one alternative embodiment, a power socket is also included, which is disposed at the bottom of the rack; a power plug protrudes from the bottom of the server host and is detachably plugged into the power socket.
[0020] Beneficial effects: By installing a power socket at the bottom of the server rack and a power strip at the top of the server host to connect with the power socket, power can be supplied to the server host. Since the power socket is located at the bottom of the server rack and the power strip is located at the bottom of the server host, the power strip and power socket can be connected during server host installation, and the connection between the power strip and power socket is more secure, further improving its safety.
[0021] In one optional embodiment, the top of the server host is provided with multiple connection ports, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length of the server host. The immersion liquid-cooled server also includes multiple external wiring and plug integration mechanisms. The multiple external wirings are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple connection ports. One end of each external wiring is fixedly connected to an external plug, which is plugged into the connection port. The plug integration mechanism is located above the positioning frame and is spaced apart from the positioning frame. All of the multiple external plugs are fixed inside the plug integration mechanism.
[0022] Beneficial effects: By setting up a plug integration mechanism, multiple external plugs on the server host can be removed as a whole, avoiding confusion in the order of multiple external plugs during the next installation. Operators do not need to record the exact position of multiple external plugs, thus enabling the quick installation of multiple external plugs on the server host after each inspection or maintenance, improving the installation efficiency of multiple external plugs.
[0023] In one optional embodiment, the plug integration mechanism includes a fixing frame, two mounting frames, and two limiting rods; the fixing frame has multiple plug frames, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length direction of the fixing frame; the external plug is detachably connected to the plug frames; connecting ear plates protrude from both ends of the fixing frame along its length direction, and the connecting ear plates have connecting holes; the two mounting frames are respectively disposed at both ends of the server host along its length direction and are fixedly connected to the server host; each mounting frame includes a first connecting plate and two second connecting plates, the two second connecting plates being fixedly connected to both ends of the first connecting plate, and the distance between the two second connecting plates is greater than or equal to the distance between the first connecting plate and the first connecting plate. The width of the server host; the first connecting plate is located at the top of the server host, and two second connecting plates are respectively located on both sides of the width direction of the server host; one of the second connecting plates is provided with a first threaded hole; a first fastener is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole and abuts against the server host; two limiting rods are respectively set on the top of the two mounting frames; one end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate, and the other end extends along the height direction of the server host; the diameter of the connecting hole is larger than the diameter of the limiting rod, and the connecting hole slides around the outer periphery of the limiting rod; and the other end of the limiting rod is provided with a limiting block, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the connecting hole.
[0024] Beneficial effects: By setting a plug frame on the mounting bracket, external plugs can be stably inserted into the server host's connection port; the mounting frame ensures a secure connection between the plug integration mechanism and the server host; the limit rod and connecting ears at both ends of the mounting bracket allow the mounting bracket and the server host to slide along the height of the server host, facilitating the insertion and removal of external plugs from the server host's connection port. The limit rod also guides the movement of the mounting bracket, ensuring that the direction of movement does not deviate when multiple external plugs are simultaneously removed; and by setting limit blocks on the limit rod, with the distance between the limit blocks greater than the diameter of the connection hole, the mounting bracket is prevented from detaching from the limit rod.
[0025] In one optional embodiment, a second threaded hole is provided on the side wall of the plug frame; the plug integration mechanism further includes a plurality of fastening components, which are respectively disposed corresponding to a plurality of plug frames; the fastening components include a second fastener and a top block, the second fastener is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole, one end of the second fastener extending into the plug frame is fixedly connected to the top block, and the top block abuts against the external plug.
[0026] Beneficial effects: By setting the fastening component, the external plug can be prevented from detaching from the plug frame, ensuring that the external plug is securely set in the plug frame; and because the fastening component has a top block, the contact area between the fastening component and the external plug can be increased, thereby increasing the friction between the fastening component and the external plug, further ensuring the stability of the connection between the external plug and the plug frame.
[0027] In one alternative implementation, a hub is also included, which is located above the server host and fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet; the other ends of the plurality of external cables are all located inside the hub.
[0028] Beneficial effects: By setting up a hub, multiple external wires can be stored and protected, preventing damage from the external environment.
[0029] In one optional embodiment, the side wall of the cabinet is provided with a first connection port and a second connection port, both of which are located above the server host. The immersion liquid-cooled server further includes a liquefaction mechanism, which includes a condenser, a first connecting pipe, and a second connecting pipe. The condenser is fixed to the outer wall of the cabinet and has an inlet and an outlet. One end of the first connecting pipe is connected to the first connection port, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the condenser. One end of the second connecting pipe is connected to the second connection port, and the other end is connected to the outlet of the condenser.
[0030] Beneficial effects: Because the insulating liquid absorbs the heat emitted by the server host, and when the absorbed heat reaches the boiling point, the insulating liquid will vaporize. The vaporized insulating liquid is located above the server host. By setting the first and second connecting ports above the server host, the vaporized insulating liquid can enter the first connecting pipe through the first connecting port, and then enter the condenser. After being cooled by the condenser, it liquefies into liquid and enters the cabinet again through the second connecting pipe, realizing the recycling of the insulating liquid and saving costs.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0043] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 8 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.
[0044] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an immersion liquid-cooled server is provided, including a cabinet 1, a server host 2, a positioning frame 3, and a disassembly / assembly mechanism 4; the cabinet 1 has an opening at the top for holding an insulating liquid; the server host 2 has a protruding mounting block 21 at the bottom, and the mounting block 21 has a plug-in slot 211; the positioning frame 3 is fixed inside the cabinet 1 and has a receiving slot 31 inside; the server host 2 is detachably connected to the receiving slot 31; the receiving slot 31 has a plug-in hole on its wall; the disassembly / assembly mechanism 4 is located outside the positioning frame 3 and is movably connected to the positioning frame 3; one end of the disassembly / assembly mechanism 4 is a force-bearing part, and the other end has a plug-in part, the force-bearing part being located near the opening; when the force-bearing part moves under the force of a first direction, the plug-in part passes through the plug-in hole and engages with the plug-in slot 211; when the force-bearing part moves under the force of a second direction, the plug-in part separates from the plug-in slot 211; wherein the first direction and the second direction are opposite to each other.
[0045] By setting a force-bearing part and a plug-in part on the disassembly and assembly mechanism 4, the operator only needs to apply force to the force-bearing part in the first direction to achieve the mating of the plug-in part and the plug-in slot 211, which helps to fix the server host 2 in the positioning frame 3 and achieve locking and limiting of the server host 2, thereby realizing the installation of the server host 2; applying force to the force-bearing part in the second direction can separate the plug-in part from the plug-in slot 211, which helps to separate the server host 2 from the positioning frame 3, realize the unlocking of the server host 2, and thus realize the disassembly of the server host 2. The disassembly and assembly mechanism 4 can realize tool-free installation and disassembly of the server host 2, and the force-bearing part is located near the opening of the rack 1, which is convenient for the operator and improves the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the server host 2.
[0046] During disassembly, tools are inserted into the insulating liquid. These tools are often contaminated with dust, oil, rust, and other pollutants. When these tools enter the insulating liquid, they contaminate the liquid. This application achieves tool-free disassembly and assembly of the server host 2, thus preventing contamination of the insulating liquid and maintaining its good insulation properties.
[0047] Specifically, the first direction is the direction away from the positioning frame 3, and the second direction is the direction closer to the positioning frame 3. When the force-bearing part is subjected to the force in the first direction, the insertion part moves towards the positioning frame 3, thereby realizing the insertion and engagement of the insertion part with the insertion groove 211. When the force-bearing part is subjected to the force in the second direction, the insertion part moves away from the positioning frame 3, thereby realizing the separation of the insertion part from the insertion groove 211.
[0048] In a specific embodiment, the bottom of the receiving groove 31 is provided with a mounting groove 311, the mounting block 21 is located in the mounting groove 311, and the insertion hole communicates with the mounting groove 311.
[0049] In a specific embodiment, there are two mounting blocks 21, which are respectively located on both sides of the server host 2 along its length; there are two mounting slots 311, which are respectively located on both sides of the receiving slot 31 along its length, and the two mounting blocks 21 are respectively located within the two mounting slots 311; there are two insertion holes, which are respectively located on both sides of the positioning frame 3 along its length, and the two insertion holes correspond to the two mounting slots 311; there are two sets of disassembly and assembly mechanisms 4, which are respectively located on both sides of the positioning frame 3 along its length and respectively cooperate with the two mounting blocks 21; thus ensuring the stability of the connection between the server host 2 and the positioning frame 3.
[0050] In a specific implementation, multiple positioning frames 3 are provided, and the multiple positioning frames 3 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the cabinet 1. Each positioning frame 3 is detachably connected to a server host 2 through a disassembly and assembly mechanism 4. Specifically, there are six positioning frames 3, and the six positioning frames 3 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the cabinet 1. Each positioning frame 3 is detachably connected to a server host 2 through a disassembly and assembly mechanism 4.
[0051] In a specific implementation, a cover plate is detachably connected to the top of the cabinet 1.
[0052] In one embodiment, the disassembly and assembly mechanism 4 includes a connecting plate 41 and a plug-in assembly 42; the connecting plate 41 is hinged to the positioning frame 3; the top end of the connecting plate 41 constitutes the force-bearing part; the plug-in assembly 42 is disposed at the bottom end of the connecting plate 41 and constitutes the plug-in part.
[0053] By setting the connecting plate 41, the force-bearing part and the insertion part can be connected into a whole structure. Since the connecting plate 41 is hinged to the positioning frame 3, when the top of the connecting plate 41 is subjected to a force in the first direction or a force in the second direction, the connecting plate 41 can rotate relative to the positioning frame 3. Thus, when a force is applied to the force-bearing part, the insertion part can cooperate with or separate from the insertion slot 211. By setting the insertion component 42 at the bottom of the connecting plate 41, the disassembly and assembly mechanism 4 can be connected or separated from the insertion slot 211.
[0054] In a specific embodiment, the disassembly and assembly mechanism 4 further includes a hinge seat 43, which is located between the top and bottom ends of the connecting plate 41. One end of the hinge seat 43 is fixedly connected to the positioning frame 3, and the other end is hinged to the connecting plate 41.
[0055] In one embodiment, the disassembly and assembly mechanism 4 further includes a first elastic element 44, which is disposed between the top end of the connecting plate 41 and the positioning frame 3, for applying a force in the first direction to the force-bearing part.
[0056] By setting the first elastic element 44, an elastic connection can be achieved between the top of the connecting plate 41 and the positioning frame 3. When the operator stops applying the second direction force to the top of the connecting plate 41, under the elastic action of the first elastic element 44, the force-bearing part bears the first direction force, and the top of the connecting plate 41 moves in the first direction, thereby realizing the insertion and engagement of the plug-in part and the plug-in slot 211. The server host 2 can be installed in the rack 1 without applying external force, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the server host 2 and the rack 1 and ensuring the stability of the installation of the server host 2.
[0057] In a specific embodiment, the first elastic element 44 is a spring. Specifically, the first elastic element 44 is a compression spring.
[0058] In one embodiment, the plug-in assembly 42 includes a plug-in block 421, which is slidably inserted into the plug-in hole. One end of the plug-in block 421 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate 41 and slides in cooperation with the bottom end of the connecting plate 41 along the length direction of the connecting plate 41. The other end is used to plug into the plug-in slot 211.
[0059] By setting one end of the plug-in block 421 to be rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting long plate 41, and slidingly engaging with the bottom end of the connecting long plate 41 along the length direction of the connecting long plate 41, when the top end of the connecting long plate 41 is subjected to a force, when the bottom end of the connecting long plate 41 moves away from or closer to the positioning frame 3, it can be ensured that the plug-in block 421 always slides along the plugging direction, which helps to realize the plugging engagement between the plug-in block 421 and the plugging slot 211.
[0060] Specifically, the plug block 421 is provided with a first guide slope, which is located at the end of the plug block 421 that is plugged into the plug groove 211; the plug groove 211 is provided with a second guide slope, which is located at the end of the plug groove 211 that is plugged into the plug block 421, and the first guide slope and the second guide slope are slidably engaged.
[0061] In one embodiment, the plug-in assembly 42 further includes a connecting plate 422 and a second elastic member 423; one end of the connecting plate 422 is fixedly connected to the end of the plug-in block 421 away from the plug-in slot 211; one end of the second elastic member 423 is fixedly connected to the positioning frame 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting plate 422.
[0062] By setting the connecting plate 422, the second elastic element 423 and the plug block 421 can be connected into an integral structure. By setting the second elastic element 423, the elastic connection between the connecting plate 422 and the positioning frame 3 can be realized. When the operator stops applying the second direction force to the top of the connecting plate 41, under the elastic action of the second elastic element 423, the plug part bears the second direction force, and the bottom end of the connecting plate 422 moves towards the positioning frame 3. Since the plug block 421 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 422, the plug block 421 will move towards the plug slot 211 under the drive of the connecting plate 422. Thus, the server host 2 can be installed in the rack 1 without external force, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the server host 2 and the rack 1 and ensuring the stability of the installation of the server host 2. In addition, the second elastic element 423 can further ensure the stability of the connection between the plug assembly 42 and the positioning frame 3 and prevent the plug block 421 from being detached from the plug slot 211 without human intervention.
[0063] In a specific embodiment, the second elastic element 423 is a spring. Specifically, the second elastic element 423 is a tension spring.
[0064] In one embodiment, the plug-in assembly 42 further includes a connecting plate 422 and a telescopic rod 424. One end of the connecting plate 422 is fixedly connected to the end of the plug-in block 421 away from the plug-in slot 211; one end of the telescopic rod 424 is fixedly connected to the positioning frame 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting plate 422.
[0065] By setting the connecting plate 422, the plug-in block 421 and the telescopic rod 424 can be connected into an integral structure. When the plug-in block 421 moves in the plugging direction, the setting of the telescopic rod 424 can guide the plug-in block 421 to move, prevent the plug-in block 421 from shifting, and ensure that the plug-in block 421 can be plugged into the plugging slot 211.
[0066] Specifically, the second elastic element 423 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the telescopic rod 424.
[0067] In one embodiment, the bottom end of the connecting plate 41 is provided with a connecting groove 411, and two slide rails 4111 are respectively provided on the two groove walls of the connecting groove 411. The slide rails 4111 extend along the length direction of the connecting plate 41. Two slide rods 4211 are respectively protruding from the two opposite side walls of the plug block 421, and the two slide rods 4211 are rotatably connected to the two slide rails 4111 respectively, and slide in cooperation with the two slide rails 4111 respectively.
[0068] By setting up the slide rail 4111 and the slide rod 4211, both sliding engagement between the plug-in block 421 and the connecting long plate 41 and rotatable connection between the plug-in block 421 and the connecting long plate 41 can be achieved; and the slide rail 4111 extends along the length direction of the connecting long plate 41, so that the bottom end of the plug-in block 421 and the connecting long plate 41 can slide together along the length direction of the connecting long plate 41.
[0069] In one embodiment, the system further includes a power socket 11, which is disposed at the bottom of the cabinet 1; the bottom of the server host 2 is provided with a protruding power plug 22, which is detachably plugged into the power socket 11.
[0070] By installing a power socket 11 at the bottom of the rack 1 and a power plug 22 at the top of the server host 2 to connect with the power socket 11, power can be supplied to the server host 2. Since the power socket 11 is located at the bottom of the rack 1 and the power plug 22 is located at the bottom of the server host 2, the power plug 22 can be connected to the power socket 11 during the installation of the server host 2, and the connection between the power plug 22 and the power socket 11 can be made more stable, thus further improving its safety.
[0071] In a specific implementation, multiple power supply sockets 11 are provided, and the multiple power supply sockets 11 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length of the cabinet 1, and are connected to the server host 2 in a one-to-one correspondence. Specifically, there are six power supply sockets 11.
[0072] In one embodiment, the top of the server host 2 is provided with multiple connection ports 23, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length of the server host 2. The immersion liquid-cooled server also includes multiple external wires 5 and a plug integration mechanism 7. The multiple external wires 5 are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple connection ports 23.

The plug integration mechanism 7 is located above the positioning frame 3 and is spaced apart from the positioning frame 3. All of the multiple external plugs 6 are fixed inside the plug integration mechanism 7.
[0073] By setting up the plug integration mechanism 7, multiple external plugs 6 on the server host 2 can be removed as a whole, avoiding confusion in the order of multiple external plugs 6 during the next installation. Operators do not need to record the exact position of multiple external plugs 6, thus enabling multiple external plugs 6 to be quickly installed on the server host 2 after each inspection or maintenance, improving the installation efficiency of multiple external plugs 6.
[0074] In one embodiment, the plug integration mechanism 7 includes a fixing frame 71, two mounting frames 72, and two limiting rods 73; the fixing frame 71 has multiple plug frames 711, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length of the fixing frame 71; the external plug 6 is detachably connected to the plug frames 711; connecting ear plates 712 protrude from both ends of the fixing frame 71 along its length, and the connecting ear plates 712 have connecting holes 7121; the two mounting frames 72 are respectively disposed at both ends of the server host 2 along its length and are fixedly connected to the server host 2; each mounting frame 72 includes a first connecting plate 721 and two second connecting plates 722, the two second connecting plates 722 being fixedly connected to both ends of the first connecting plate 721, and the distance between the two second connecting plates 722 is greater than or equal to the distance between the first connecting plate 721 and the first connecting plate 721. The width of the server host 2 is described; the first connecting plate 721 is located on the top of the server host 2, and two second connecting plates 722 are respectively located on both sides of the width direction of the server host 2; one of the second connecting plates 722 is provided with a first threaded hole; a first fastener 723 is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole and abuts against the server host 2; two limiting rods 73 are respectively provided on the top of the two mounting frames 72; one end of the limiting rod 73 is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 721, and the other end extends along the height direction of the server host 2; the diameter of the connecting hole 7121 is larger than the diameter of the limiting rod 73, and the connecting hole 7121 slides around the outer periphery of the limiting rod 73; and the other end of the limiting rod 73 is provided with a limiting block 74, the diameter of the limiting block 74 being larger than the diameter of the connecting hole 7121.
[0075] By setting a plug frame 711 on the mounting bracket 71, the external plug 6 can be stably inserted into the connection port 23 of the server host 2; by setting a mounting frame 72, a stable connection between the plug integration mechanism 7 and the server host 2 can be achieved; by setting a limiting rod 73 and connecting ear plates 712 at both ends of the mounting bracket 71, the mounting bracket 71 and the server host 2 can be slidably connected along the height direction of the server host 2, which helps to connect and disconnect the external plug 6 from the connection port 23 of the server host 2, and the limiting rod 73 can also guide the movement of the mounting bracket 71, ensuring that the movement direction of the mounting bracket 71 will not deviate when multiple external plugs 6 are pulled out at the same time; by setting a limiting block 74 on the limiting rod 73, and the diameter of the limiting block 74 is larger than that of the connection hole 7121, the mounting bracket 71 can be prevented from detaching from the limiting rod 73.
[0076] Specifically, the first fastener 723 is a bolt.
[0077] In one embodiment, the plug frame 711 has a second threaded hole on its side wall; the plug integration mechanism 7 further includes a plurality of fastening components 75, which are respectively disposed corresponding to a plurality of plug frames 711; the fastening component 75 includes a second fastener 751 and a top block 752, the second fastener 751 is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole, and one end of the second fastener 751 extending into the plug frame 711 is fixedly connected to the top block 752, and the top block 752 abuts against the external plug 6.
[0078] By setting the fastening component 75, the external plug 6 can be prevented from detaching from the plug frame 711, ensuring that the external plug 6 is securely installed in the plug frame 711. Furthermore, since the fastening component 75 has a top block 752, the contact area between the fastening component 75 and the external plug 6 can be increased, thereby increasing the friction between the fastening component 75 and the external plug 6, further ensuring the stability of the connection between the external plug 6 and the plug frame 711.
[0079] Specifically, the second fastener 751 is a bolt.
[0080] In one embodiment, a hub 8 is also included, which is located above the server host 2 and fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet 1; the other ends of the plurality of external cables 5 are all located inside the hub 8.
[0081] By setting up the hub tube 8, multiple external wiring 5 can be stored and protected to prevent damage to the external wiring 5 from the external environment.
[0082] Preferably, multiple external cables 5 connected to a single server host 2 constitute a cable group; the hub 8 extends along the length of the cabinet 1, and the hub 8 has multiple outlet ports 81 on the side near the server host 2; the multiple outlet ports 81 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length of the hub 8, and correspond one-to-one with the multiple server hosts 2; each cable group connected to each server host 2 is connected to the corresponding outlet port 81 of that server host 2, avoiding confusion in the order of multiple cable groups during the next installation, eliminating the need for operators to record the accurate position of multiple cable groups, thereby enabling the rapid installation of multiple cable groups on the corresponding server host 2 after each inspection or maintenance of the server host 2, improving the installation efficiency of multiple cable groups.
[0083] In one embodiment, the side wall of the cabinet 1 is provided with a first connection port 12 and a second connection port 13, both of which are located above the server host 2. The immersion liquid-cooled server also includes a liquefaction mechanism 9, which includes a condenser 91, a first connecting pipe 92, and a second connecting pipe 93. The condenser 91 is fixed to the outer wall of the cabinet 1 and has an inlet and an outlet. One end of the first connecting pipe 92 is connected to the first connection port 12, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the condenser 91. One end of the second connecting pipe 93 is connected to the second connection port 13, and the other end is connected to the outlet of the condenser 91.
[0084] Because the insulating liquid absorbs the heat emitted by the server host 2, and vaporizes when the absorbed heat reaches the boiling point, the vaporized insulating liquid is located above the server host 2. By setting the first connecting port 12 and the second connecting port 13 above the server host 2, the vaporized insulating liquid can enter the first connecting pipe 92 through the first connecting port 12, and then enter the condenser 91. After being cooled by the condenser 91, it liquefies into liquid and re-enters the cabinet through the second connecting pipe 93, realizing the recycling of the insulating liquid and saving costs.
[0085] Although embodiments of the invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
