Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a connector disconnection mechanism, a server and a computer device. Background Art

[0002] Computer equipment usually needs to be equipped with a cooling mechanism to cool down the computer equipment in time. There are many ways to cool down, such as water cooling. Water cooling usually transports coolant through pipes. If the pipe is damaged or the connection between two pipes is poorly sealed, resulting in coolant leakage, the pipe cannot be disconnected in time, which can easily cause damage to the computer equipment. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a connector disconnection mechanism, a server and a computer device that can disconnect the pipeline in time.

[0004] An embodiment of the present application provides a connector disconnection mechanism, including a support, and the connector disconnection mechanism also includes a connecting connector, a sliding member and a driving member. The connecting connector is slidably disposed on the support, and is configured to slide along a first direction so that one end of the connecting connector is connected to a connecting pipeline, and slide in the opposite direction of the first direction to disconnect from the connecting pipeline. The sliding member is slidably disposed on the support, and when the sliding member slides in a second direction, it can drive the connecting connector to slide in the first direction, and when the sliding member slides in the opposite direction of the second direction, it can drive the connecting connector to slide in the opposite direction of the first direction. The driving member is connected to the sliding member, and can drive the sliding member to slide in the second direction, and when the driving of the driving member is released, the sliding member slides in the opposite direction of the second direction.

[0005] In the connector disconnection mechanism of the above embodiment, the driving member drives the sliding member to move along the second direction so that the connecting joint can be connected to the connecting pipeline. When the driving member is released from driving, the sliding member slides in the opposite direction of the second direction, and the sliding member drives the connecting joint to slide in the opposite direction of the first direction, thereby disconnecting the connecting joint from the connecting pipeline, blocking the coolant from continuing to flow, and thus timely preventing the coolant from leaking. Since the sliding member reciprocates along the second direction to drive the connecting joint to slide reciprocally along the first direction, the sliding directions of the sliding member and the connecting joint are not in the same straight line, thereby reducing the length of the connector disconnection mechanism along the first direction, making the spatial layout more reasonable, and the driving member does not directly drive the connecting joint to move along the first direction, which can reduce the impact force when the connecting joint is connected to the connecting pipeline, so as to extend the service life of the connecting joint and the connecting pipeline.

[0006] In at least one embodiment, the second direction is an upward direction, and the driving member drives the sliding member to move upward to connect the connecting joint with the connecting pipeline. When the sliding member is configured to release the drive of the driving member, the sliding member moves downward under the action of gravity to disconnect the connecting joint from the connecting pipeline.

[0007] In the connector disconnection mechanism of the above-mentioned embodiment, when the driving member drives the sliding member to move upward, the sliding member drives the connecting joint to move in the first direction, so that the connecting joint is connected to the connecting pipeline. When the driving of the driving member is released, the sliding member can move downward under the action of gravity, and drive the connecting joint to move in the opposite direction of the first direction, so that the connecting joint is disconnected from the connecting pipeline. The connecting joint is disconnected from the connecting pipeline by the gravity of the sliding member. The gravity of the sliding member is smaller than the driving force generated by the driving member, and the impact force of the connecting joint during the sliding process is small, so that the connecting joint can be stably disconnected from the connecting pipeline. The force required for plugging the connecting joint into the connecting pipeline is greater than the force required for disconnection. The driving member drives the sliding member to move in the second direction so that the connecting joint can be stably connected to the connecting pipeline.

[0008] In at least one embodiment, the sliding member is provided with an inclined groove, and the inclined groove is arranged to be inclined downward along the first direction. The connecting joint includes a sliding part, and the sliding part is slidably arranged in the inclined groove.

[0009] In the connector disconnection mechanism of the above embodiment, when the sliding member slides upward or downward, the sliding portion is pushed by the side wall of the inclined groove, so that the connecting connector can slide back and forth along the first direction.

[0010] In at least one embodiment, the support is provided with a slide groove, the slide groove extends along a first direction, and the connecting joint includes a sliding portion, and the sliding portion is slidably disposed in the slide groove.

[0011] In the connector disconnecting mechanism of the above embodiment, the connecting connector includes a sliding portion, and the sliding portion is slidably disposed in the sliding groove, so that the connecting connector can slide back and forth along the first direction.

[0012] In at least one embodiment, the driving member includes a connecting plate and an anti-electromagnet, wherein the connecting plate is arranged on the top of the support, and the anti-electromagnet is arranged on the sliding member. The anti-electromagnet is configured to have magnetism and adsorb the connecting plate when not powered on, so that the connecting joint is connected to the connecting pipeline. When the anti-electromagnet is powered on, the magnetism is eliminated and the connecting joint is disconnected from the connecting pipeline.

[0013] In the connector disconnection mechanism of the above embodiment, the connection connector and the connecting pipeline will only be disconnected when the coolant leaks, that is, the time the connection connector and the connecting pipeline are connected is usually longer than the time the connection connector and the connecting pipeline are disconnected. The connection connector and the connecting pipeline are connected by magnetic adsorption of the anti-electromagnet and the connecting piece, and no additional energy is required. The power-on time is short, which can not only extend the service life of the anti-electromagnet, but also reduce the anti-electromagnet working for a long time, generating too much heat, and affecting the cooling effect of the coolant. When the anti-electromagnet is energized, the magnetic force disappears, and the sliding part can move downward under the action of gravity, thereby achieving automatic disconnection.

[0014] In at least one embodiment, the sliding member is provided with a guide groove, and the guide groove extends along the second direction. The joint disconnection mechanism further comprises a guide portion, and the guide portion is arranged on the support and located in the guide groove.

[0015] In the connector disconnecting mechanism of the above embodiment, the guide portion is located in the guide groove, so that the sliding member can stably slide relative to the support along the second direction.

[0016] In at least one embodiment, the connecting joint includes a connecting pipe, a first plug connector, a second plug connector, a supporting shell and a sliding portion. The connecting pipe extends along a first direction. The first plug connector is connected to one end of the connecting pipe, and the first plug connector is used to connect to the connecting pipeline. The second plug connector is connected to the other end of the connecting pipeline, and the second plug connector is used to connect the cooling pipeline of the server so that the connecting pipeline is connected to the cooling pipeline. The supporting shell is sleeved on the connecting pipe. The sliding portion is arranged on the supporting shell and cooperates with the sliding member and the support so that the sliding member can drive the connecting joint to slide.

[0017] In the connector disconnection mechanism of the above embodiment, the coolant flows to the cooling pipe after passing through the connecting pipe, the first plug connector, the connecting pipe, and the second plug connector in sequence. The support shell can increase the stability of the connecting joint, and the support shell is located at the front plate and the connecting block, and can contact the two side plates. Through the guidance of the two side plates, the sliding of the connecting joint can be more stable.

[0018] An embodiment of the present application also provides a server, including a shell, electronic devices and cooling pipelines, wherein the electronic devices and the cooling pipelines are located in the shell, and the cooling pipelines are connected to the electronic devices. The server also includes a connector disconnecting mechanism, which is located in the shell, and one end of the connecting connector of the connector disconnecting mechanism extends out of the shell for connecting to the connecting pipeline, and the other end is connected to the cooling pipeline.

[0019] In the server of the above embodiment, the cooling liquid passes through the connecting pipe, the connecting joint and the cooling pipe to cool down the electronic components. When the cooling liquid leaks, the connecting joint is disconnected from the connecting pipe to prevent further leakage.

[0020] In at least one embodiment, the shell is provided with a mounting base, the mounting base is connected to the support, the mounting base is provided with a water collecting tank, and the server further includes a sensor, the sensor is located in the water collecting tank below both ends of the connecting joint, and is used to detect the sealing of the connection between the connecting joint and the cooling pipeline and the connection between the connecting joint and the connecting pipeline.

[0021] In the server of the above embodiment, when the sensor detects a sealing problem, the connecting pipe is disconnected from the connecting joint. The connection or disconnection of the connecting joint and the connecting pipe is controlled by the induction of the sensor, and no manual operation is required. The whole process is automated, and the connecting joint and the connecting pipe can be disconnected in time.

[0022] An embodiment of the present application further provides a computer device, including a cabinet and a connecting pipe. The computer device also includes a server, the server is arranged in the cabinet, and the connecting pipe is connected to a connecting joint of the server.

[0023] In the connector disconnection mechanism, server and computer equipment of the present application, the connecting piece is adsorbed by the anti-electromagnet so that the connecting connector is connected to the connecting pipeline. When the sensor senses a leak, the anti-electromagnet is energized, the anti-electromagnet is demagnetized and the adsorption of the connecting piece is released, and the sliding part slides downward under the action of gravity, so that the connecting connector moves to the second position in the opposite direction of the first direction, thereby disconnecting from the connecting pipeline. The connecting connector and the connecting pipeline can be disconnected in time, and both can be disconnected and connected automatically, without manual operation, and the degree of automation is high.

[0077] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0078] It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be a central component at the same time. When a component is considered to be "located on" another component, it may be directly located on the other component or there may be a central component at the same time. The terms "top", "bottom", "upper", "lower" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0079] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0080] Some embodiments of the present application provide a connector disconnection mechanism, including a support, the connector disconnection mechanism also including a connecting connector, a sliding member and a driving member. The connecting connector is slidably disposed on the support, and is configured to slide along a first direction so that one end of the connecting connector is connected to a connecting pipeline, and slide in the opposite direction of the first direction to disconnect from the connecting pipeline. The sliding member is slidably disposed on the support, and when the sliding member slides in a second direction, it can drive the connecting connector to slide in the first direction, and when the sliding member slides in the opposite direction of the second direction, it can drive the connecting connector to slide in the opposite direction of the first direction. The driving member is connected to the sliding member, and can drive the sliding member to slide in the second direction, and when the driving of the driving member is released, the sliding member slides in the opposite direction of the second direction.

[0081] In the connector disconnection mechanism of the above embodiment, the driving member drives the sliding member to move along the second direction so that the connecting joint can be connected to the connecting pipeline. When the driving member is released from driving, the sliding member slides in the opposite direction of the second direction, and the sliding member drives the connecting joint to slide in the opposite direction of the first direction, thereby disconnecting the connecting joint from the connecting pipeline, blocking the coolant from continuing to flow, and thus timely preventing the coolant from leaking. Since the sliding member reciprocates along the second direction to drive the connecting joint to slide reciprocally along the first direction, the sliding directions of the sliding member and the connecting joint are not in the same straight line, thereby reducing the length of the connector disconnection mechanism along the first direction, making the spatial layout more reasonable, and the driving member does not directly drive the connecting joint to move along the first direction, which can reduce the impact force when the connecting joint is connected to the connecting pipeline, so as to extend the service life of the connecting joint and the connecting pipeline.

[0082] Some embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0083] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 One embodiment of the present application provides a connector disconnect mechanism 100, one end of the connector disconnect mechanism 100 is used to connect to the connecting pipeline 002, and the other end is used to connect to the cooling pipeline 200. Liquid or gas can pass through the connecting pipeline 002, the connector disconnect mechanism 100 and the cooling pipeline 200 in sequence. When liquid or gas leaks, the connector disconnect mechanism 100 can be disconnected from the connecting pipeline 002 to stop the delivery of liquid or gas. It can be understood that the connector disconnect mechanism 100 can be applied to servers, computers, refrigerators, power supplies, etc. The following example uses the connector disconnect mechanism 100 applied to the server 001 and used to deliver coolant for illustration.

[0084] The connector disconnection mechanism 100 includes a support 10, a connection connector 20, a sliding member 30 and a driving member 40. The connection connector 20 extends along a first direction X, one end of the connection connector 20 is connected to the connection pipeline 002, and the other end is connected to the cooling pipeline 200, so that the coolant passes through the connection pipeline 002, the connection connector 20 and the cooling pipeline 200 in sequence. The connection connector 20 is slidably connected to the support 10, and the support 10 has a first position and a second position. The connection connector 20 can reciprocate along the first direction X to switch between the first position and the second position. When the connection connector 20 is located at the first position, the connection connector 20 is connected to the connection pipeline 002, and the connection connector 20 slides to the second position in the opposite direction of the first direction X, so that the connection connector 20 is disconnected from the connection pipeline 002. When the connection connector 20 is located at the second position, the connection connector 20 slides along the first direction X, so that the connection connector 20 slides to the first position and is connected to the connection pipeline 002.

[0085] The sliding member 30 is slidably disposed on the support 10 and can reciprocate along the second direction Z. The sliding member 30 is configured to drive the connecting joint 20 to slide along the first direction X when sliding along the second direction Z, and to drive the connecting joint 20 to slide in the opposite direction of the first direction X when sliding in the opposite direction of the second direction Z. Thus, the connecting joint 20 is driven by the sliding member 30 to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0086] The driving member 40 is connected to the sliding member 30, and the driving member 40 can drive the sliding member 30 to slide along the second direction Z so that the connecting joint 20 can move from the second position to the first position, thereby connecting with the connecting pipeline 002, and the sliding member 30 is configured to slide in the opposite direction of the second direction Z when the drive of the driving member 40 is released, so that the connecting joint 20 disconnects the pipeline connection.

[0087] When there is no coolant leakage, the connecting joint 20 is located at the first position, and the coolant sequentially passes through the connecting pipe 002, the connecting joint 20, and the cooling pipe 200. When the coolant leaks, for example, the coolant leaks from the connection between the connecting joint 20 and the connecting pipe 002 or the coolant leaks from the connection between the connecting joint 20 and the cooling pipe 200, the driving member 40 is released, and the sliding member 30 slides in the opposite direction of the second direction Z, and the connecting joint 20 is driven by the sliding member 30 to slide in the opposite direction of the first direction X, thereby disconnecting the connecting joint 20 from the connecting pipe 002, blocking the coolant from continuing to flow, and thus timely preventing the coolant from leaking. Furthermore, since the sliding member 30 slides back and forth along the second direction Z and drives the connecting joint 20 to slide back and forth along the first direction X, the sliding directions of the sliding member 30 and the connecting joint 20 are not in the same straight line, thereby reducing the length of the joint disconnection mechanism 100 along the first direction X, and the spatial layout is more reasonable. In addition, the driving member 40 does not directly drive the connecting joint 20 to move along the first direction X, which can reduce the impact force received by the connecting joint 20 when it is connected to the connecting pipeline 002, so as to extend the service life of the connecting joint 20 and the connecting pipeline 002.

[0088] Optionally, the cooling pipeline 200 is a hose to facilitate the connection joint 20 to move in the opposite direction of the first direction X.

[0089] Optionally, both the connecting joint 20 and the connecting pipeline 002 are provided with a water stop valve. When the connecting joint 20 is disconnected from the connecting pipeline 002, the water stop valve automatically closes to prevent the coolant from flowing out from the disconnection point between the connecting joint 20 and the connecting pipeline 002.

[0090] Optionally, in some embodiments, the second direction Z is an upward direction, and the driving member 40 drives the sliding member 30 to move upward to connect the connecting joint 20 to the connecting pipeline 002. When the sliding member 30 is configured to release the drive of the driving member 40, the sliding member 30 moves downward under the action of gravity to disconnect the connecting joint 20 from the connecting pipeline 002.

[0091] When the driving member 40 drives the sliding member 30 to move upward, the sliding member 30 drives the connecting joint 20 to move along the first direction X, so that the connecting joint 20 is connected to the connecting pipeline 002. When the driving member 40 is released, the sliding member 30 can move downward under the action of gravity and drive the connecting joint 20 to move in the opposite direction of the first direction X, so that the connecting joint 20 is disconnected from the connecting pipeline 002.

[0092] The connection joint 20 is disconnected from the connection pipeline 002 by the gravity of the sliding member 30. The gravity of the sliding member 30 is smaller than the driving force generated by the driving member 40, and the impact force of the sliding member 20 is small, so that the connection joint 20 can be stably disconnected from the connection pipeline 002. The force required for plugging the connection joint 20 and the connection pipeline 002 is greater than the force required for disconnection. The driving member 40 drives the sliding member 30 to move along the second direction Z so that the connection joint 20 can be stably connected to the connection pipeline 002.

[0093] It can be understood that the second direction Z is not limited to the upward direction. For example, in some other embodiments, the second direction Z can also be a downward direction. For example, a spring is provided between the sliding member 30 and the support 10, and the elastic force of the spring can push the sliding member 30 to move upward so that the connecting pipe 002 is connected to the connecting joint 20, and the driving member 40 drives the sliding member 30 to move downward so that the connecting pipe 002 is disconnected from the connecting joint 20.

[0094] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The support 10 includes a bottom plate 11, a front plate 12, a back plate 13 and two side plates 14. The front plate 12 and the back plate 13 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, the front plate 12 is arranged at one end of the bottom plate 11, and the back plate 13 is arranged at the other end of the front plate 12. The front plate 12 is provided with a front through hole 121, and the front through hole 121 penetrates the front plate 12 along the first direction X. The back plate 13 is provided with a rear through hole 131, and the rear through hole 131 penetrates the back plate 13 along the first direction X. The front through hole 121 and the rear through hole 131 are arranged coaxially, and the connecting joint 20 is penetrated through the front through hole 121 and the rear through hole 131.

[0095] The two side plates 14 are arranged at intervals on opposite sides of the bottom plate 11 along the third direction Y, each side plate 14 extends along the first direction X, and one end of each side plate 14 is connected to a front plate 12, and the other end is connected to the back plate 13, and the connection joint 20 is located between the two side plates 14. The connection joint 20 is slidably connected to the side plate 14 along the first direction X, and the sliding member 30 is reciprocatingly slidably connected to the side plate 14 along the second direction Z, and the sliding member 30 cooperates with the connection joint 20, so that when the sliding member 30 slides, it can drive the connection joint 20 to slide.

[0096] Optionally, in some embodiments, each side plate 14 of the support 10 is provided with a slide groove 141, and the slide groove 141 extends along the first direction X. The connecting joint 20 includes a sliding portion 21, and the sliding portion 21 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 141, so that the connecting joint 20 can reciprocate along the first direction X. When the sliding portion 21 is located at one end of the slide groove 141 facing the first direction X, the connecting joint 20 is located at the first position, and when the sliding portion 21 is located at the other end of the slide groove 141, the connecting joint 20 is located at the second position.

[0097] Please refer to Figure 6 The sliding member 30 is provided with an inclined groove 311, which is inclined downwardly arranged along the first direction X, and the sliding portion 21 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 312. Since the sliding portion 21 is located in both the sliding groove 141 and the inclined groove 311, when the sliding member 30 slides upward or downward, the sliding portion 21 is pushed by the side wall of the inclined groove 311, so that the connecting joint 20 can slide back and forth along the first direction X.

[0098] Since the connector disconnection mechanism 100 can be applied to the server 001, the space inside the server 001 is small, and the housing 300 of some servers 001 does not have a reserved space for installing the connector disconnection mechanism 100, the volume of the connector disconnection mechanism 100 needs to be as small as possible. The sliding portion 21 is located in the slide groove 141 and the inclined groove 311, which can save space, thereby reducing the overall volume of the connector disconnection mechanism 100, so as to facilitate installation in the housing 300 of the server 001.

[0099] Optionally, in some embodiments, the connector disconnection mechanism 100 further includes a guide portion 50, the number of which is two, and each guide portion 50 is disposed on a side of one side plate 14 away from the other side plate 14. The sliding member 30 is provided with two guide grooves 312, the number of which is two and is spaced apart along the third direction Y and located at opposite sides of the sliding member 30. One guide portion 50 is located in one guide groove 312, so that the sliding member 30 can stably slide relative to the support 10 along the second direction Z.

[0100] Optionally, one end of the sliding member 30 contacts the front plate 12 , and the sliding portion 50 slides in the guide groove 312 and is guided by the front plate 12 , so that the sliding member 30 can be prevented from rotating relative to the support 10 , thereby improving the sliding stability of the sliding member 30 .

[0101] The sliding member 30 includes two sliding plates 31 and a connecting block 32. The two sliding plates 31 are arranged at intervals along the third direction Y. Each inclined groove 311 and each guide groove 312 are located in one sliding plate 31 and penetrate the sliding plate 31 along the third direction Y. One side of the connecting block 32 is connected to one sliding plate 31, and the other side is connected to the other sliding plate 31. The connecting block 32 is provided with a connecting groove 321, and the connecting groove 321 penetrates the connecting block 32 along the first direction X, so as to facilitate the connection of the connecting joint 20 to pass through the connecting block 32. The shape of the connecting block 32 is generally an inverted U shape. The connecting block 32 is provided with a mounting groove 322, and the driving member 40 is at least partially disposed in the mounting groove 322.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8The driving member 40 includes a connecting piece 41 and an anti-electromagnet 42. The anti-electromagnet 42 is disposed in the mounting groove 322, and the connecting piece 41 is disposed on the top of the back plate 13 of the support 10. The anti-electromagnet 42 is configured to have magnetism when not powered on and to absorb the connecting piece 41 so that the connecting joint 20 is connected to the connecting pipeline 002. When the anti-electromagnet 42 is powered on, the magnetism is eliminated so that the connecting joint 20 is disconnected from the connecting pipeline 002.

[0103] Since the connection joint 20 and the connection pipeline 002 will be disconnected only when the coolant leaks, that is, the time when the connection joint 20 and the connection pipeline 002 are connected is usually longer than the time when the connection joint 20 and the connection pipeline 002 are disconnected. The connection joint 20 and the connection pipeline 002 are connected by the magnetic attraction of the anti-electromagnet 42 and the connecting piece 41, without the need for additional energy, and the power-on time is short, which can not only extend the service life of the anti-electromagnet 42, but also reduce the anti-electromagnet 42 working for a long time, generating too much heat, and affecting the cooling effect of the coolant. When the anti-electromagnet 42 is energized, the magnetic force disappears, and the sliding member 30 can move downward under the action of gravity, thereby achieving automatic disconnection.

[0104] The anti-electromagnet 42 includes a permanent magnet (not shown in the figure) and a coil (not shown in the figure). When the power is off, the permanent magnet has a magnetic force to attract the connecting piece 41. After power is turned on, the coil of the anti-electromagnet 42 generates magnetic poles, and the magnetic poles of the coil are opposite to the magnetic poles of the permanent magnet. The magnetic field of the magnetic poles generated by the coil and the magnetic poles of the permanent magnet are weakened, and the permanent magnetic field is chaotic, resulting in automatic demagnetization.

[0111] See also Fig. 9 and Fig.10 One embodiment of the present application further provides a server 001, which includes a housing 300, an electronic device 400, a cooling pipeline 200, and a connector disconnection mechanism 100 of any of the above embodiments. The electronic device 400, the cooling pipeline 200, and the connector disconnection mechanism 100 are all disposed in the housing 300. The cooling pipeline 200 is connected to one end of the connection connector 20 of the connector disconnection mechanism 100, and the connection pipeline 002 is connected to the other end of the connection connector 20. The cooling pipeline 200 is used to cool the electronic device 400.

[0112] Optionally, in some embodiments, the housing 300 is provided with a water collection tank (not shown in the figure), and the server 001 further includes a sensor 500, which is located in the water collection tank below the two ends of the connection joint 20, and is used to detect the sealing of the connection joint 20 and the cooling pipeline 200 and the connection joint 20 and the connection pipeline 002. When the sensor 500 detects that there is a problem with the sealing, the anti-electromagnet 42 is energized to disconnect the connection pipeline 002 from the connection joint 20. The connection or disconnection of the connection joint 20 and the connection pipeline 002 is controlled by the induction of the sensor 500, without manual operation, and the whole process is automated, so that the connection joint 20 and the connection pipeline 002 can be disconnected in time.

[0113] Optionally, the water collecting tank is located on the inner bottom surface of the shell 300, and the position is not limited. For example, the water collecting tank is formed by the bottom surface and the side surface of the shell 300. For another example, the water collecting tank is arranged on the bottom surface of the shell 300, and the size of the water collecting tank is substantially equal to the inner bottom surface of the shell 300, and the electronic device 400, the cooling pipeline 200 and the joint disconnection mechanism 100 are all located in the water collecting tank. For another example, the size of the water collecting tank is substantially equal to the size of the joint disconnection mechanism 100, and the joint disconnection mechanism 100 is located in the water collecting tank, so that the water collecting tank is located below the two ends of the connector 20. For another example, there are two water collecting tanks, and the two water collecting tanks are correspondingly located below the two ends of the connector 20.

[0114] In other embodiments, the shell 300 is provided with a mounting base 60 located at the connector disconnect mechanism 100, the mounting base 60 is connected to the support 10 of the connector disconnect mechanism 100, a water collecting tank is provided at the bottom of the mounting base 60, the water collecting tank is located below the connector disconnect mechanism 100, and the sensor 500 is located in the water collecting tank.

[0115] Optionally, the water collecting tank is arranged at an angle to guide the coolant to flow toward the sensor 500 to improve the detection accuracy of the sensor 500 .

[0116] Optionally, the sensor 500 may be a liquid level sensor 500 for sensing whether there is coolant leakage at the connection between the connection joint 20 and the connection pipeline 002 and at the connection between the connection joint 20 and the cooling pipeline 200. It is understood that when the cooling pipeline 200 itself is damaged, causing the coolant to drip onto the housing 300, the sensor 500 located on the housing 300 can also sense and disconnect the connection joint 20 from the connection pipeline 002. It is understood that the sensor 500 is not limited to the liquid level sensor 500, and may also be other sensors 500. For example, when the cooling pipeline 200 conveys airflow instead of coolant, the sensor 500 may be an airflow sensor 500.

[0118] In summary, a connector disconnection mechanism 100, a server 001 and the like are provided in the embodiment of the present application. The connecting piece 41 is adsorbed by the anti-electromagnet 42 so that the connecting connector 20 is connected to the connecting pipeline 002. When the sensor 500 senses a leakage, the anti-electromagnet 42 is energized, the anti-electromagnet 42 is demagnetized and the adsorption of the connecting piece 41 is released, and the sliding member 30 slides downward under the action of gravity, so that the connecting connector 20 moves to the second position in the opposite direction of the first direction X, thereby disconnecting from the connecting pipeline 002. The connecting connector 20 and the connecting pipeline 002 can be disconnected in time, and both can be automatically disconnected and connected without manual operation, and the degree of automation is high.
