[0037] The method of this embodiment is carried out through a system, which includes a variety of solenoid valves, sensors, pressure gauges, water pumps and various electronic control devices. The detection equipment supports two working modes: leak detection mode and flow resistance detection mode. When the parts are connected to the test system, the leak detection mode is activated first: open the first electric ball valve 7 for water inlet and the second electric ball valve 15 for water return of the water system, fill the flow channel in the liquid cooling shell with deionized water through the vertical multi-stage centrifugal pump 2, and automatically close the second electric ball valve 15 for water return on the system loop. The pressure test pump 1 starts automatically. After the system pressure reaches the set leak detection pressure value, the system automatically closes the first electric ball valve 7 for water inlet, and at the same time, the system automatically closes the pressure test pump 1 and starts to maintain pressure for 15 minutes. During this period, if the pressure is less than 1.5Mpa, the system automatically starts the pressure test pump to replenish the pressure. If there is no leakage in a group of liquid cooling shells in series, it automatically enters the flow resistance detection mode. In the flow resistance detection mode, the large flow channel and the small flow channel can be activated by setting the value through the human-machine interface, and the test method can be selected as the constant pressure difference flow measurement mode or the constant flow pressure difference measurement mode. By adjusting the opening of the first electric ball valve 7 or the third electric ball valve 23 of the water system and the second electric ball valve 15 of the return water, the flow or pressure difference in and out of the liquid-cooled shell is controlled to be a fixed value, and then a group of parallel pressure difference sensors with different ranges are used to obtain the actual pressure difference value of the part or the flow value of the passage, and then detect whether the flow resistance of this group of liquid-cooled shells (in series) meets the design requirements. The upper computer system interface records the model, operator, test time, quantity and data of the test part in the local file for storage and easy traceability.

[0038] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment integrates the two processes of leak detection and flow resistance detection of shell parts into one system, realizing the integration of leak detection and flow resistance detection; the water circuit of the system includes a pressure test pump 1, a multistage centrifugal pump 2, a pressure reducing valve 3, a first check valve 4, a second check valve 5, a precision filter 6, a first electric ball valve 7, a first flow sensor 8, a third electric ball valve 23, a second flow sensor 22, a differential pressure sensor module (a first pressure sensor 9, a second pressure sensor 14, a differential pressure sensor group (including a plurality of first differential pressure sensors with different ranges connected in parallel) 10, second differential pressure sensor 11, third differential pressure sensor 12, fourth differential pressure sensor 13), second electric ball valve 15, first manual ball valve 16, second manual ball valve 17, water tank 18, filter 19, third manual ball valve 20; wherein, first electric ball valve 7 and third electric ball valve 23 are used for water inlet, and second electric ball valve 15 is used for water outlet; pressure test pump 1, pressure reducing valve 3, first check valve 4, precision filter 6, first electric ball valve 7, first flow sensor 8, differential pressure sensor module, second electric ball valve 15, first manual ball valve 16, water tank 18, and the third manual ball valve 20 are connected in sequence, the connection point between the first check valve 4 and the precision filter 6 is also connected to the second check valve 5 and the multistage centrifugal pump 2 in sequence, and then connected to one end of the third manual ball valve 20; the other end of the third manual ball valve 20 is connected to the filter 19 arranged in the water tank 18; a second manual ball valve 17 is also arranged below the water tank 18; the first electric ball valve 7 and the first flow sensor 8 are connected in parallel to the third electric ball valve 23 and the second flow sensor 22, and the third electric ball valve 23 is connected in series to the second flow sensor 22. Sensor 22; the first pressure sensor 9, the second pressure sensor 14, and the differential pressure sensor group are connected in series, and both ends of the differential pressure sensor group are connected in parallel to the cold plate series group; the cold plate series group includes 5 cold plates (i.e., liquid-cooled shell parts) connected in series; the first manual ball valve 16, the second manual ball valve 17, and the third manual ball valve 20 are used for manual maintenance when the electric ball valve fails or the flow channel leaks; the filter 19, the pressure reducing valve 3, the first check valve 4, the second check valve 5, and the precision filter 6 are used for auxiliary functions such as filtering, pressure reducing, and checking of the water system.

[0039] like Figure 2As shown, the electrical control structure of an integrated system for leak detection and flow resistance detection of a complex internal flow channel of a liquid-cooled shell provided in this embodiment is as follows: a programmable logic controller, a host computer communication module, an analog input module, and an analog output module are connected in sequence, and the host computer communication module and the industrial control network are connected through a human-machine display screen; the four input ends of the programmable logic controller are respectively connected to the first differential pressure sensor 10, the second differential pressure sensor 11, the third differential pressure sensor 12 and the fourth differential pressure sensor 13, and the output end of the programmable logic controller is connected to the second electric ball valve 15; the four input ends of the analog input module are respectively connected to the first flow sensor 8, the second flow sensor 22, the first pressure sensor 9 and the second pressure sensor 14; the two input ends of the analog output module are respectively connected to the first electric ball valve 7 and the third electric ball valve 23; the human-machine display screen is connected to the barcode scanner through a USB interface.

[0040] This embodiment also provides an integrated method for leak detection and flow resistance detection in a flow channel of a liquid cooling housing. Figure 1 As shown, first fill the water tank 18 in the detection equipment with deionized water, the third manual ball valve 20, the first manual ball valve 16, the first electric ball valve 7 (water inlet), the third electric ball valve 23 (water inlet) and the second electric ball valve 15 (water return) are in the open state, and one or more (in series) liquid-cooled shell parts to be tested (cold plate series group) are connected in series in the detection equipment. Create a new test task in the operating software on the human-machine display screen, enter the product model, part model, operator name, test part theoretical pressure difference and flow, click Start, and the vertical multistage centrifugal pump 2 will fill the water system with water. At this time, the pressure test pump 1 in the system is in the closed state. After the water system of the system and the shell parts to be tested are filled with water (filling for 30 seconds), turn off the vertical multistage centrifugal pump 2 and close the second electric ball valve 15 (water return) at the same time. Then start the pressure test pump 1. When the system pressure reaches the set leak detection pressure value, turn off the pressure test pump 1, and at the same time, close the first electric ball valve 7 (water inlet) and the third electric ball valve 23 (water inlet), and start to maintain the pressure for 15 minutes. During the pressure maintenance process, if the set pressure value drops, it indicates that there is a leak in the series liquid cooling shell; if the pressure remains unchanged, it indicates that there is no leak and the leak detection is completed.

[0041] If there is no leakage in the shell part after the leak detection process, the system will enter the flow detection process after confirmation in the interface, keep the pressure test pump 1 in a stopped state, turn on the multi-stage centrifugal pump 2 to fill with water, and if the constant pressure difference mode is selected, the system will collect the pressure difference on both sides of the test part, fine-tune the opening of the first electric ball valve 7 or the third electric ball valve 23 according to the flow range of the test part, control the flow in and out of the liquid-cooled shell to obtain the required pressure difference, adopt the discrete PID control method to control the pressure difference within the set range, read the flow sensor feedback value and compare it with the process standard value to determine whether the test part is qualified.

[0042] If the fixed flow mode is selected, fine-tune the opening of the first electric ball valve 7 or the third electric ball valve 23 according to the flow range of the test part, open the water inlet electric ball valve and the water return electric ball valve in the system water circuit, use the closed-loop PID control flow sensor value within the set range, read the pressure difference sensor feedback value at this time, and detect whether the flow resistance value (through the flow sensor) of this group of liquid-cooled shells (in series) meets the design requirements. Figure 3 As shown, the first electric ball valve 7 is selected.

[0043] The whole process of the system is as follows:

[0044] Step 1: turn off the pressure test pump 1, open the first electric ball valve 7 and the third electric ball valve 23 for water inlet and the second electric ball valve 15 for water return to make the water system completely unblocked, and turn on the vertical multi-stage centrifugal pump 2 to fill the liquid-cooled housing to be tested with water for 30 seconds;

[0045] Step 2: When the water filling time is up, the system automatically closes the second electric ball valve 15 for water return, then closes the vertical multi-stage centrifugal pump 2, and simultaneously starts the pressure test pump 1 to pressurize the water system. When the system pressure reaches the set value, the first electric ball valve 7 and the third electric ball valve 23 are closed synchronously, and the system automatically closes the pressure test pump 1, and the water system enters the pressure maintaining state;

[0046] Step 3: If the system pressure does not drop to the set value within the set time or there is no obvious water seepage on the surface of the part, it means that the flow channel and joints in the liquid cooling shell are not leaking and meet the design requirements. Flow resistance detection is then carried out.

[0047] Flow resistance detection is divided into constant pressure difference mode, expansion mode and constant flow mode:

[0048] Step 4: Constant pressure differential mode

[0049] For the inspection of single-piece shell parts: turn off the system pressure test pump 1, start the system vertical multi-stage centrifugal pump 2, the system automatically opens the second return water electric ball valve 15 completely, and the system automatically adjusts the opening of the first water inlet electric ball valve 7 or the third water inlet electric ball valve 23 according to the set value according to the design requirements, and simultaneously collects the feedback value of the pressure difference sensor, fine-tunes the first water inlet electric ball valve 7 or the third water inlet electric ball valve 23 according to the pressure difference, and converges the value to the set pressure difference range. At this time, read the feedback value of the flow sensor and compare it with the process parameters to determine whether the part is qualified.

[0050] For the inspection of multiple shell parts: turn off the system pressure test pump 1, start the system vertical multi-stage centrifugal pump 2, the system automatically opens the second return water electric ball valve 15 completely, and automatically adjusts the opening of the first water inlet electric ball valve 7 or the third water inlet electric ball valve 23 according to the set value according to the design requirements, and simultaneously collects the feedback value of the differential pressure sensor, and fine-tunes the first water inlet electric ball valve 7 or the third electric ball valve 23 according to the pressure difference to converge the value to the set pressure difference range. The system selects the value of the differential pressure sensor of the differential pressure sensor group to be collected according to the number of parts to be inspected, and then reads the corresponding flow sensor feedback value and compares it with the process parameters to determine whether the parts are qualified.

[0051] Extended mode: If more shell parts are to be detected, considering the possibility that the range of the differential pressure sensor cannot be met, the combination of the first pressure sensor 9 and the second pressure sensor 14 is selected for differential pressure measurement, and the second electric ball valve 15 is fully opened. When the pressure stabilizes at the set pressure value, the values ​​of the first pressure sensor 9 and the second pressure sensor 14 are read synchronously for difference, and the first electric ball valve 7 (or the third electric ball valve 23) for water inlet and the second electric ball valve 15 for water return are fine-tuned to converge the differential pressure within the set differential pressure range. At this time, the corresponding flow sensor values ​​are read and compared with the process parameters to determine whether the parts are qualified. The flow sensor corresponding to the first electric ball valve 7 is the first flow sensor 8, and the flow sensor corresponding to the third electric ball valve 23 is the second flow sensor 22.

[0052] In the constant flow mode, the system automatically opens the second return electric ball valve 15 completely, adjusts the opening of the first inlet electric ball valve 7 (or the third electric ball valve 23), collects the value of the first flow sensor 8 (or the second flow sensor 22) for closed-loop feedback control until it stabilizes at the set flow value, collects the value of the first pressure sensor 9 and the second pressure sensor 14, and makes a difference, or directly collects the value of the pressure difference sensor group and compares it with the process parameters to determine whether the parts are qualified.

[0053] The present invention proposes integrated automatic detection equipment and method for leak detection and flow resistance detection in the flow channel of shell parts, which realizes one-time clamping of the shell parts, automatically completes the leak detection and flow resistance detection in the flow channel, and automatically determines whether the shell parts are leaking and whether the flow resistance of the flow channel meets the requirements. It solves the efficiency problem caused by the separation of leak detection and flow resistance detection of shell parts into different processes in the past, greatly improves the automation level of leak detection and flow detection in the flow channel of shell parts, and records files locally at the same time for easy traceability.

[0054] The present invention can perform leak detection and flow resistance detection on one part or multiple parts at a time.

[0055] The invention can be used for leak detection and flow resistance detection of other pipeline parts.
