The cold plate liquid cooling system cools down the main heating elements in the server 200 through the flow of heat exchange medium. The cold plate liquid cooling system includes a primary side pipeline and a secondary side pipeline. The primary side pipeline refers to the circulating water circuit at the outdoor cold source end, and the secondary side pipeline refers to the circulating water circuit at the liquid cooling cabinet end. The server interface integrated module 100 of the present application is mainly used in the secondary side pipeline. The main components of the secondary side pipeline are a heat exchange unit, a manifold and a cold plate device, and the cold plate device is located in the server 200. The circulation direction of the heat exchange medium in the secondary side pipeline is heat exchange unit-water distributor-cold plate-water collector-heat exchange unit.

[0057] The server interface integrated module 100 includes a housing 101, which is hollow. The housing 101 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure. The housing 101 can be connected to the server 200. The width of the housing 101 is adapted to the server 200. The height of the housing 101 is adapted to the server 200. The housing 101 is fixed to the server 200. The housing 101 can be connected to the server 200 by bolting.

[0058] like Figure 1As shown, a female connector is installed on the cabinet. The female connector is threadedly connected to the liquid cooling cabinet. A male connector is installed in the housing 101, and the housing 101 is installed on the server 200. When the server 200 is installed on the liquid cooling cabinet, as the server 200 is pushed into the L-shaped slide rail of the cabinet. The housing 101 gets closer and closer to the male connector on the liquid cooling cabinet. After the server 200 is completely installed in the specified position, the female connector on the liquid cooling cabinet and the male connector on the housing 101 are matched and connected, and the internal flow channel is connected.

[0059] The server interface integration module 100 also includes an interface module 110, and the interface module 110 is configured with a structure that can be easily disassembled. The interface module 110 can be detachably installed in the shell 101. A connector can be provided in the interface module 110. The internal connector can be replaced after the interface module 110 is disassembled. The various components in the interface module 110 can be integrated together. The interface module 110 may include a shell, and the various components are located in the shell. The interface module 110 can be installed as a whole inside the shell 101. When maintenance is required, the interface module 110 can also be disassembled as a whole from the inside of the shell 101. The interface module 110 can be installed on the back panel side of the server 200 as a detachable component. The interface module 110 can be connected to the equipment in the server 200. Figure 6 As shown, the server interface integrated module 100 further includes a moving component 140, and the moving component 140 is located in the housing 101. The moving component 140 can move the interface module 110 to adjust the position of the interface module 110. The moving component 140 can drive the interface module 110 to move relative to the housing 101. The interface module 110 can move to different positions.

[0060] Specifically, the moving component 140 includes a fixed component 141 and a moving component 142, and the fixed component 141 is fixed to the housing 101. The fixed component 141 does not move relative to the housing 101. The fixed component 141 includes a fixed member, and the fixed member is fixed to the housing 101. The fixed member is connected to the housing 101 by bolt connection. The fixed member is configured as a slide rail. The length direction of the slide rail is parallel to the length direction of the interface module 110.

[0061] The mobile component 140 also includes a mobile component 142, which is connected to the interface module 110. The mobile component 142 is movably arranged on the fixed component 141. The mobile component 142 can move relative to the fixed component 141. The mobile component 142 includes a mobile member, which can move relative to the fixed member. The mobile member drives the interface module 110 to move. The mobile member is configured as a slider, which is movably arranged on the slide rail. The slider can move along the length direction of the slide rail relative to the slide rail. The interface module 110 can move relative to the slide rail. The interface module 110 can move along the length direction of the slide rail relative to the slide rail. The fixed component 141 also includes a positioning member, and the fixed component is provided with a positioning member. The positioning member is used to locate the position of the mobile member. The mobile component 142 also includes a matching member, which is connected to the mobile member. The positioning member and the matching member are engaged to locate the mobile member. Thus, the interface module 110 is positioned.

[0062] One of the positioning member and the matching member can be configured as a protrusion, and the other can be configured as a groove. The protrusion and the groove can be engaged with each other. The positioning member can be set to the surface of the fixed member facing the mobile member. The matching member can be set to the surface of the mobile member facing the fixed member.

[0063] For example, the positioning member can be configured as a groove, and the matching member can be configured as a protrusion. The bottom of the movable member faces the fixed member. The protrusion is set to the bottom of the movable member. The protrusion is connected to the bottom of the movable member. The protrusion is connected to the bottom of the slider. The protrusion protrudes from the lower surface of the slider toward the fixed member. The fixed member is provided with a groove. The slide rail is provided with a groove. The groove is recessed from the upper surface of the slide rail in a direction away from the movable member. The protrusion is engaged with the groove to position the movable member so that the movable member does not move, thereby preventing the interface module 110 from moving.

[0064] The positioning member can also be constructed as a protrusion, and the matching member can be constructed as a groove. The bottom of the mobile member faces the fixed member. A groove is provided at the bottom of the mobile member. A groove is provided at the bottom of the slider. The groove is recessed from the lower surface of the slider in a direction away from the fixed member. The protrusion is connected to the fixed member. The protrusion is connected to the slide rail. The protrusion protrudes from the upper surface of the fixed frame toward the direction of the mobile member. The protrusion is engaged with the groove to position the mobile member so that the mobile member does not move, thereby preventing the interface module 110 from moving.

[0065] According to the server interface integrated module 100 of the present application, it is used for the server 200. The server interface integrated module 100 includes a shell 101, an interface module 110 and a moving component 140. The interface module 110 is located in the shell 101. The moving component 140 is located in the shell 101. The moving component 140 is used to move the interface module 110. The moving component 140 includes a fixed component 141 and a moving component 142. The fixed component 141 is fixed to the shell 101. The fixed component 141 includes a fixed member and a positioning member. The positioning member is provided on the fixed member, and the fixed member is connected to the shell 101. The moving component 142 includes a moving member and a matching member connected to the moving member. The moving member can move relative to the fixed member. The moving member is connected to the interface module 110. The matching member engages with the positioning member to position the moving member. In this way, the movable component is connected to the interface module and can move relative to the fixed component. The movable component can drive the interface module to move so that the interface module can be moved to different positions. The mating component can engage with the positioning component to position the movable component and then position the interface module, thereby allowing the position of the interface module to be adjusted, so that it can be well compatible with decoupling adaptation.

[0066] In order to enable the interface module 110 to be positioned at different positions, the fixed component 141 is provided with at least two positioning components, and the at least two positioning components are arranged at intervals along the moving direction of the mobile component. At least two positioning components are respectively located at different positions of the fixed component along the length direction of the fixed component. The mobile component moves to different positions. The matching components can be engaged with the positioning components at different positions respectively. In this way, the mobile component can be positioned at different positions respectively. Thus, external devices of different models and positions can be adapted.

[0067] More specifically, the mating member is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The mating member is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position relative to the positioning member. The mating member is movable in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the movable member. The mating member is movable in a thickness direction of the fixed member. The mating member in the locked position engages with the positioning member. The mating member in the locked position can position the movable member. The mating member in the unlocked position is separated from the positioning member. The mating member in the unlocked position enables the movable member to move.

[0068] In order to move the matching member between the locked position and the unlocked position, the moving assembly 142 also includes a lever member and an operating member for moving the matching member. The lifting or falling of the lever member can control the lifting or falling of the moving member. The operating member is configured as a button. The button protrudes from the housing 101. Pressing the button can achieve the lifting or falling of the lever member.

[0069] The lever member includes a first end and a second end, and the first end and the second end move in opposite directions respectively. The first end and the second end are respectively located on both sides of the fulcrum of the lever member. The first end moves in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving member. The second end moves in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving member. The first end moves in a thickness direction of the fixed member. The second end moves in a thickness direction of the fixed member. The first end can move in a direction away from the fixed member, and the second end can move in a direction toward the fixed member. The second end can move in a direction away from the fixed member, and the first end can move in a direction toward the fixed member.

[0070] The first end is connected to the mobile member, and the second end is connected to the operating member. As an optional embodiment, the first end can also be connected to the matching member. The first end is indirectly connected to the mobile member. The operating member can control the second end to move in the direction of the fixed member, thereby controlling the first end to move in the direction away from the fixed member, thereby driving the mobile member to move in the direction away from the fixed member, so that the matching member moves to the unlocking position, and the matching member located in the unlocking position is separated from the positioning member, so that the mobile member can move. The operating member can control the second end to move in the direction of the fixed member along the thickness direction of the fixed member, thereby controlling the first end to move in the direction away from the fixed member along the thickness direction of the fixed member, thereby driving the mobile member to move in the direction away from the fixed member along the thickness direction of the fixed member, so that the matching member moves to the unlocking position along the thickness direction of the fixed member, and the matching member located in the unlocking position is separated from the positioning member, so that the mobile member can move along the length direction of the fixed member.

[0071] The operating member can control the second end to move in a direction away from the fixed member, thereby controlling the first end to move in a direction toward the fixed member, and then driving the moving member to move in the direction toward the fixed member, so that the matching member moves to a locking position, and the matching member located at the locking position engages with the positioning member, so that the moving member is fixed. The operating member can control the second end to move in a direction away from the fixed member along the thickness direction of the fixed member, thereby controlling the first end to move in a direction toward the fixed member along the thickness direction of the fixed member, and then driving the moving member to move in the direction toward the fixed member along the thickness direction of the fixed member, so that the matching member moves to a locking position along the thickness direction of the fixed member, and the matching member located at the locking position engages with the positioning member, so that the moving member can be fixed along the length direction of the fixed member.

[0072] The moving assembly 142 also includes an elastic member, which is located between the second end and the fixed member. The elastic member can produce elastic deformation in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving member. The elastic member can produce elastic deformation in the thickness direction of the fixed member. One end of the elastic member abuts against the second end. The surface of the second end facing the fixed member abuts against one end of the elastic member. The other end of the elastic member abuts against the fixed member. The surface of the fixed member facing the second end abuts against the other end of the elastic member. The elastic member can apply an elastic force to the second end to move the second end, thereby reducing the number of operation steps.

[0073] Specifically, the second end is movable between a pressing position and a return position. The second end at the pressing position is closer to the fixed member than the second end at the return position. The pressing position corresponds to the unlocking position. The second end at the pressing position applies a downward pressure to the second end, and the second end compresses the elastic member. The second end moves toward the fixed member to the pressing position, and the first end moves in a direction away from the fixed member, so that the movable member moves in a direction away from the fixed member, thereby separating the mating member from the positioning member, and the movable member is able to move.

[0074] The return position corresponds to the locking position. The second end at the return position does not apply a force to the second end. The second end at the pressing position moves to the return position under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member. The second end at the pressing position moves to the return position to drive the first end to move toward the fixed member, thereby driving the moving member to move toward the fixed member, thereby causing the matching member to engage with the positioning member, and the moving member cannot move.

[0075] When working, the button is pressed to lift the moving member, so that the moving member can be moved left and right. When the moving member moves to the specified position, the button is released, and the moving member returns to its original position under the action of the elastic member. The button is ejected, and the matching member matches with the positioning member at that position to fix the position of the moving member again.

[0076] Preferably, the moving component 140 further includes a limiting member, which is used to fix the slider. The limiting member can limit whether the moving member moves. The operator can move the moving member according to needs, and then fix it through the limiting member, so that the moving member can be fixed at any position. The limiting member can be constructed as a latch, a pull pin or a screw, etc., and is fixed by plugging or threading.

[0077] The server interface integrated module 100 further includes a control device for controlling the opening and closing of the lever component.

[0078] The interface module 110 is connected to the mobile component. Figure 2As shown, the interface module 110 includes a housing 114 and a connecting member 117, and the connecting member 117 is connected to the housing 114. The housing 114 is connected to the mobile member. The housing 114 is connected to the mobile member through a connecting member 102. The connecting member 102 can be a bolt or a rivet. The housing 114 can be provided with a threaded fixing portion 103, and the threaded fixing portion 103 is provided to the top of the housing 114. The position of the threaded fixing portion 103 can be based on actual conditions, such as Figure 4 As described above, the threaded fixing portion 103 may be located inside the housing 114. The position of the threaded fixing portion 103 may also be determined based on actual conditions, such as Figure 5 As mentioned above, the threaded fixing portion 103 may be located outside the housing 114 .

[0079] The housing 114 is fixed to the moving member. The housing 114 is configured to be hollow. Figure 2 As shown, the connecting member 117 is located in the housing 114. In one embodiment, the fixed component 141 is mounted on the housing 114. The moving component 142 is slidably connected to the fixed component 141. The interface module 110 is mounted on the moving component 142. The interface module 110 is fixedly connected to the moving component 142. The moving component 142 drives the interface module 110 to move horizontally on the fixed component 141. Specifically, the moving member is slidably connected to the fixed member. The interface module 110 is mounted on the moving member. The interface module 110 is fixedly connected to the moving member. The moving member drives the interface module 110 to move horizontally on the fixed member.

[0080] In order to facilitate the installation of the connecting member 117 into the housing 114, the housing 114 includes a first shell 115 and a second shell 116, and the first shell 115 and the second shell 116 are detachably connected. A chamber is formed between the first shell 115 and the second shell 116. The connecting member 117 is located in the chamber. The first shell 115 and the second shell 116 are connected together by a connector 102. The first shell 115 and the second shell 116 are detachable so that the connecting member 117 can be installed in the housing 114. The connecting member 117 is detachably installed in the housing 114. The connecting member 117 is used to connect to the device. The connecting member 117 is used to fix the device interface. The movement of the mobile member can drive the housing 114 to move, and then drive the connecting member 117 to move, so that the connecting member 117 corresponds to the device of the server 200.

[0081] As an optional embodiment, the connecting member 117 fits tightly with the housing 114. The connecting member 117 can move relative to the housing 114. The connecting member 117 can move relative to the housing 114 in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving member. The connecting member 117 can move to the outside of the housing 114 relative to the housing 114. In particular, the connecting member 117 can move to the outside of the housing 101 relative to the shell 101. The connecting member 117 can drive the device to move, for example, the connecting member 117 is connected to the fluid connector 201, and the connecting member can drive the fluid connector 201 to move. Optionally, the device can also move relative to the connecting member 117. The device can move to the outside of the connecting member 117 relative to the connecting member 117. In particular, the device can move to the outside of the housing 101 relative to the shell 101. For example, the fluid connector 201 can move relative to the connecting member.

[0082] One end of the housing 114 is fixed, and the other end has an open opening. The connecting member 117 can enter the housing 114 through the opening at the other end of the housing 114. A positioning piece is provided at one end of the housing 114, and the positioning piece is located inside the housing. When the connecting member 117 moves from the outside of the housing 114 to the inside, the connecting member 117 contacts the positioning piece at one end inside the housing 114. The positioning piece prevents the connecting member 117 from continuing to move toward the inside of the housing 114.

[0083] The interface module 110 also includes a fixing member, which is movably connected to the housing 114. The fixing member is movably connected to the other end of the housing 114. The fixing member is arranged near the opening of the housing 114. The fixing member moves between an open position and a fixed position. The fixing member located at the fixed position is located outside the connecting member 117. The fixing member located at the fixed position is located outside the connecting member 117 along the moving direction of the connecting member 117. The projection of the fixing member located at the fixed position along the moving direction of the connecting member 117 coincides with the connecting member 117. The fixing member located at the fixed position makes the opening part open or not open at all. The fixing member located at the fixed position prevents the connecting member 117 from moving outward. The fixing member located at the fixed position prevents the connecting member 117 from moving outward from the inside of the housing 114.

[0084] The fixing member in the open position can make the opening fully exposed. The fixing member in the open position is located on the side of the opening. The projection of the fixing member in the open position along the moving direction of the connecting member 117 does not overlap with the connecting member 117. The connecting member 117 can move outward through the open opening. The connecting member 117 can move outward from the inside of the housing 114 through the opening.

[0085] like Figure 3As shown, a certain amount of floating can also be provided between the connecting member 117 and the housing 114. In particular, floating can be provided for blind plug joints. A gap 132 is provided between the connecting member 117 and the housing 114. An elastic member 121 is provided in the gap 132. One end of the elastic member 121 abuts against the connecting member 117. The other end of the elastic member 121 abuts against the housing 114. One elastic member 121 can produce elastic deformation along the moving direction of the movable member. Another elastic member 121 can produce elastic deformation along the width direction of the fixed member. Thus, the position can be adjusted in multiple directions, so as to facilitate the alignment of the connecting member 117 with the device.

[0086] The interior of the housing 114 is constructed as a stepped structure. The interior of the housing 114 includes a receiving portion 129 and a first abutting portion 130, and the first abutting portion 130 is connected to the receiving portion 129. The receiving portion 129 is recessed from the inner surface of the first abutting portion 130 in a direction away from the connecting member 117. The exterior of the connecting member 117 is constructed as a stepped structure. In order to facilitate the connecting member 117 to connect the equipment of the server 200, the connecting member 117 includes a main body 118, and the main body 118 has a hole 119. The main body 118 is used to connect with the equipment of the server 200. The hole 119 is used to connect with the equipment of the server 200. The hole 119 can be set as a waterway hole, the hole 119 can also be set as a circuit hole, and the hole 119 can also be set as a signal hole. The connecting member 117 also includes a second abutting portion 131, which protrudes from the main body 118 along the radial direction of the hole 119. The second abutting portion 131 is configured as a square.

[0087] The first abutting portion 130 includes a first surface 133 and a second surface 134, and the first surface 133 and the second surface 134 are vertically connected. The second abutting portion 131 includes a third surface 135 and a fourth surface 136, and the third surface 135 and the fourth surface 136 are vertically connected. The first surface 133 faces the third surface 135. The second surface 134 faces the fourth surface 136. The first surface 133 faces the third surface 135 along the first radial direction of the hole 119. The second surface 134 faces the fourth surface 136 along the second radial direction of the hole 119. The first radial direction is perpendicular to the second radial direction.

[0088] exist Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the main body 118 is located in the accommodating portion 129. The first abutting portion 130 fits with the second abutting portion 131. The first abutting portion 130 and the second abutting portion 131 are fixed together. The surface of the first abutting portion 130 fits with the surface of the second abutting portion 131. The first surface 133 fits with the third surface 135. The second surface 134 fits with the fourth surface 136. As a result, the connecting member 117 fits tightly with the interior of the housing 114 and has good connection strength. The four corners of the second abutting portion 131 are provided with holes for threaded connection with the housing 114.

[0089] exist Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, there is a floating amount between the connecting member 117 and the housing 114. The connecting member 117 and the housing 114 are spaced apart. There is a gap 132 between the connecting member 117 and the housing 114. The main body 118 and the accommodating portion 129 are spaced apart. The first abutting portion 130 and the second abutting portion 131 are spaced apart. An elastic member 121 is disposed between the first abutting portion 130 and the second abutting portion 131. The first surface 133 and the third surface 135 are spaced apart. An elastic member 121 is disposed between the first surface 133 and the third surface 135. The second surface 134 and the fourth surface 136 are spaced apart. An elastic member 121 is disposed between the second surface 134 and the fourth surface 136. Thus, a form adapted to different fluid fittings can be achieved. When installed, the fluid fitting installed in the middle of the cylindrical outer sleeve can be squeezed and fixed, and at the same time, fixed front and back by means of fixing devices at the head and tail of the cylindrical outer sleeve.

[0090] The interface module 110 includes a plurality of modules, and each mobile component can be equipped with a module. Figure 6 As shown, the interface module 110 also includes a fluid interface module 111, which is detachably mounted in the housing 101. The fluid interface module 111 includes a fluid connector 201, which is used to connect to the server 200. The server 200 includes a fluid fitting, and the fluid interface module 111 is used to connect to the fluid fitting. In particular, the fluid connector 201 is used to connect to the fluid fitting.

[0091] After the fluid interface module 111 is disassembled, the internal connector can be replaced. For example, the fluid interface module 111 can be constructed as a sleeve structure. The opening direction of the sleeve faces the cold plate direction of the server 200, and the other side faces the external direction (the direction of the liquid cooling cabinet). The sleeve is installed on the sliding member. The fluid connector 201 is installed inside the sleeve. When a limited position mechanism is set in the direction of the server 200, the fluid connector 201 is set to a form that can be pulled out from the outside. When a limited position mechanism is set in the external direction, the fluid connector 201 is set to a form that can be pulled out from the inside. Optionally, the limiting mechanism can be a baffle, and the baffle is welded to the baffle on the cylinder. The fluid interface module 111 also includes a switching device, which is set in the direction that can be pulled out. The switching device can be constructed as a buckle. When the buckle is buckled, the fluid connector 201 cannot be pulled out and is limited. When the buckle is opened, the fluid connector 201 can be pulled out.

[0092] like Figure 1As shown, the cabinet is equipped with a female head of a fluid connector 201. The female head is threadedly connected to the liquid cooling cabinet. The male head of the fluid connector 201 is installed in the shell 101, and the shell 101 is installed on the server 200. When the server 200 is installed on the liquid cooling cabinet, as the server 200 is pushed into the L-shaped slide rail of the cabinet. The shell 101 gets closer and closer to the male head on the liquid cooling cabinet. After the server 200 is completely installed in the specified position, the female head on the liquid cooling cabinet and the male head on the shell 101 are matched and connected, and the internal flow channel is connected.

[0093] The fluid interface module 111 includes a first body and a first connecting member, wherein the first connecting member is located in the first body. The first connecting member is used to connect with the fluid fitting. The first hole 126 is provided with a cylindrical sleeve, and the shape of the cylindrical sleeve is adapted to the shape of the fluid fitting. Both ends of the cylindrical sleeve are provided with positioning holes 120, and the positioning holes 120 are used to connect with the positioning pins. Thus, the displacement of the fluid fitting relative to the cylindrical sleeve can be limited.

[0094] In one scenario, a blind-plug type fluid fitting needs to be installed in the fluid interface module 111. The fluid interface module 111 is connected to the manifold of the liquid cooling cabinet, and the fluid interface module 111 is also connected to the cold plate hose of the server 200. The first connecting member in the fluid interface module 111 can provide radial and axial floating amount for the blind-plug type fluid fitting. Elastic members 121 are installed on the upper and lower sides, left and right sides, and rear side (close to the internal components of the server 200) of the first connecting member and the first body to provide floating amount.

[0095] In one implementation form, a positioning hole 120 is installed on the first connecting member (the positioning hole 120 is Figure 3 ), for the insertion of the positioning pins on the cabinet during the plugging process, so as to correct the position during the blind plugging of the fluid fitting. When installing the fluid interface module 111, first adjust the fluid interface module 111 to the required position through the moving member and fix it, and then connect the water hose in the server 200 to the rear of the fluid fitting.

[0096] The interface module 110 further includes a signal interface module 113, which is detachably mounted in the housing 101. The server 200 includes a signal matching piece, and the signal interface module 113 is used to connect with the signal matching piece.

The signal interface module 113 includes a second body and a second connecting member, and the second connecting member is located in the second body. The second hole 127 of the second connecting member is used to connect with the signal matching piece.

[0097] After the signal interface module 113 is disassembled, the internal connector can be replaced. For example, the signal interface module 113 can be constructed as a sleeve structure. The opening direction of the sleeve faces the cold plate direction of the server 200, and the other side faces the external direction (the direction of the liquid cooling cabinet). The sleeve is installed on the sliding member. The signal connector is installed inside the sleeve. When a limiting mechanism is set in the direction of the server 200, the signal connector is set to a form that can be pulled out from the outside. When a limiting mechanism is set in the external direction, the signal connector is set to a form that can be pulled out from the inside. Optionally, the limiting mechanism can be a baffle, and the baffle is welded to the baffle on the cylinder. The signal interface module 113 also includes a switching device, which is set in the direction that can be pulled out. The switching device can be constructed as a buckle. When the buckle is buckled, the signal connector cannot be pulled out and is limited. When the buckle is opened, the signal connector can be pulled out.

A male head of a signal connector is installed in the shell 101, and the shell 101 is installed on the server 200. When the server 200 is installed on the liquid cooling cabinet, as the server 200 is pushed into the L-shaped slide rail of the cabinet. The shell 101 gets closer and closer to the male head on the liquid cooling cabinet. After the server 200 is completely installed in the specified position, the female head on the liquid cooling cabinet and the male head on the shell 101 are matched and connected, and the internal flow channel is connected.

[0099] The signal interface module 113 is similar to the fluid interface module 111 and is implemented by the second body and the second connecting member. The rear of the signal interface module 113 is connected to the signal cable in the server 200. The second connecting member of the signal interface module 113 is connected to the signal cable in the server 200. The front of the signal interface module 113 is provided with a network port that can be connected to an external network cable. When blind plugging, the front of the signal interface module 113 is provided with a blind plug interface that is connected to an external network cable.

[0100] The interface module 110 further includes an electrical interface module 112, which is detachably mounted in the housing 101. The server 200 includes an electrical matching component, and the electrical interface module 112 is used to connect with the signal matching component. The electrical interface module 112 includes a third body and a third connecting member, and the third connecting member is located in the third body. The third hole 128 of the third connecting member is used to connect with the electrical matching component. The arrangement of the third hole 128 can be similar to the arrangement of the holes of the socket, and this embodiment will not be repeated.

[0101] After the electrical interface module 112 is disassembled, the internal connector can be replaced. For example, the electrical interface module 112 can be constructed as a sleeve structure. The opening direction of the sleeve faces the cold plate direction of the server 200, and the other side faces the external direction (the direction of the liquid cooling cabinet). The sleeve is mounted on a sliding member. An electrical connector is installed inside the sleeve. When a limited position mechanism is set in the direction of the server 200, the electrical connector is set to a form that can be pulled out from the outside. When a limited position mechanism is set in the external direction, the electrical connector is set to a form that can be pulled out from the inside. Optionally, the limiting mechanism can be a baffle, and the baffle is welded to the baffle on the cylinder. The electrical interface module 112 also includes a switch device, which is set in the direction that can be pulled out. The switch device can be constructed as a buckle. When the buckle is buckled, the electrical connector cannot be pulled out and is limited. When the buckle is opened, the electrical connector can be pulled out. Of course, the holes in the interface module can also be constructed in other shapes, which are not limited in this application.

[0102] like Figure 1 As shown, the cabinet is equipped with a female head of an electrical connector. The female head is threadedly connected to the liquid cooling cabinet.

When the server 200 is installed on the liquid cooling cabinet, as the server 200 is pushed into the L-shaped slide rail of the cabinet. The housing 101 gets closer and closer to the male head on the liquid cooling cabinet. After the server 200 is completely installed in the specified position, the female head on the liquid cooling cabinet and the male head on the housing 101 are matched and connected, and the internal flow channel is connected.

The electrical interface module 112 is connected to the power supply copper bus or the power distribution unit, and the electrical interface module 112 is connected to the power module or the power conversion module of the server 200. When blindly plugged, the electrical matching part can be a blind plug-in type electrical interface such as a duckbill connector. The electrical interface is installed and fixed inside the third connecting member. A blind plug-in type electrical interface such as a duckbill connector is fixed inside the third connecting member. When plugged by hand, the socket is fixed inside the third connecting member. A circuit interface is left on the side of the electrical interface module 112 facing the server 200, which can be connected to the circuit in the server 200.

[0104] In one implementation, the server 200 side interfaces of the water interface module 110 and the electrical interface module 112 both use a blind-plug design.
