Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of computing devices, and in particular to a server. Background Art

[0002] The server is usually provided with a liquid cooling interface, which is connected to the server node through a joint. When liquid cooling fluid is sprayed or leaked at the liquid cooling interface, the liquid cooling fluid is easy to spread into the cabinet, causing damage to the components in the cabinet, reducing the reliability of the server, and increasing the maintenance cost. Summary of the invention

[0003] The embodiment of the present application provides a server that can prevent damage caused by liquid cooling medium injection, thereby ensuring the reliability of the server operation.

[0004] An embodiment of the present invention provides a server, which includes: a cabinet, a liquid cooling interface and an anti-spraying structure. The liquid cooling interface and the anti-spraying structure are both arranged on the cabinet, and the anti-spraying structure is arranged corresponding to the liquid cooling interface, and the liquid cooling interface is used to provide liquid cooling medium for the server node. The anti-spraying structure includes a shell and a blocking component. The shell has a receiving cavity connected to the outside, and the blocking component is rotatably arranged in the receiving cavity; wherein the rotation axis of the blocking component is inclined relative to the height direction of the cabinet, the liquid cooling interface is located in the receiving cavity, and the blocking component is used to prevent the liquid cooling medium from being sprayed outside the shell.

[0005] In this embodiment, an anti-spraying structure including a blocking component is provided, and the blocking component is rotatably provided in the accommodating cavity and is used to prevent the liquid-cooling medium from being sprayed outside the shell, thereby avoiding damage caused by the spraying of the liquid-cooling medium. Furthermore, the rotation axis of the blocking component is tilted relative to the height direction of the cabinet, and the size of the blocking component can be increased without changing the size of the anti-spraying structure along the height direction and the width direction of the cabinet, so that it is suitable for liquid-cooling interfaces with larger sizes, and can be used to prevent the liquid-cooling medium in the liquid-cooling interface from being sprayed outside the shell.

[0006] In some implementations, the blocking component has a first state and a second state. When the blocking component is in the first state, the blocking component is located on an extension path of the liquid cooling interface along the depth direction of the cabinet to prevent the liquid cooling medium from being sprayed outside the shell; when the blocking component is in the second state, the liquid cooling interface is connected to the server node to provide liquid cooling medium to the server node.

[0007] The blocking component can be switched between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the blocking component is located on the extension path of the liquid cooling interface, and can block the liquid cooling medium in the liquid cooling interface from being sprayed out of the shell. In the second state, since the blocking component is rotatable, the server node can be connected to the liquid cooling interface in the accommodating cavity.

[0008] In some implementations, the anti-spraying structure further includes a driving assembly, one end of which is drivingly connected to the blocking assembly, and the other end of which extends outside the housing, and the driving assembly drives the blocking assembly to switch from the first state to the second state. The arrangement of the driving assembly can facilitate the switching of the blocking assembly between the first state and the second state.

[0009] In some examples, when the server node is plugged into the liquid cooling interface, the server node can abut against the other end of the driving component to drive the blocking component to switch from the first state to the second state.

[0011] In some examples, the rotating shaft may include a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft, and the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are respectively connected to two ends of the baffle along the direction of the rotating axis.

[0012] In some implementations, the anti-spraying structure further includes a return spring, the return spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft, one end of the return spring is connected to the connecting portion, and the other end of the return spring is connected to the side wall of the accommodating cavity. When the server node is pulled out of the cabinet, the setting of the return spring can switch the blocking component from the second state to the first state to prevent the liquid cooling medium in the liquid cooling interface from being sprayed out of the shell.

[0013] In some implementations, the driving assembly includes a driving rod and a gear, one end of the driving rod is located in the accommodating cavity, the other end of the driving rod extends outside the housing, one end of the driving rod is provided with a rack, the gear is fixed to the rotating shaft, and the rack on the driving rod is meshed with the gear. The rack on one end of the driving rod is meshed with the gear provided on the rotating shaft to drive the baffle to rotate, which has a simple structure and is easy to maintain and replace.

[0014] In some implementations, the angle between the rotation axis and the height direction of the cabinet is between about 40° and 55°. The length of the baffle can be made longer.

[0015] In some implementations, the server further includes a liquid inlet pipe and a liquid outlet pipe, which are arranged on both sides of the cabinet in the width direction, and the liquid cooling interface arranged on the liquid inlet pipe is used to communicate with the liquid inlet of the server node, and the liquid cooling interface arranged on the liquid outlet pipe is used to communicate with the liquid outlet of the server node. The liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe are arranged on both sides of the cabinet, so that during the plugging and unplugging process of the server node, when the liquid outlet and liquid inlet of the server node are connected with the liquid cooling interface on the liquid outlet pipe and the liquid cooling interface on the liquid inlet pipe, the plugging and unplugging force is distributed on both sides of the cabinet, and the plugging and unplugging force can be more uniform.

[0016] In some implementations, the server further includes a liquid collecting plate, which is disposed on the cabinet, the liquid collecting plate is disposed corresponding to the anti-spraying structure, and along the height direction of the cabinet, the liquid collecting plate is located below the anti-spraying structure. The liquid collecting plate can collect the liquid cooling medium sprayed into the shell by the liquid cooling interface to prevent the liquid cooling medium from damaging the server.

[0017] In some implementations, the shell further includes a liquid guide portion, a first opening of the liquid guide portion is communicated with the accommodating cavity, and a second opening of the liquid guide portion is located above the liquid collecting plate along the height direction of the cabinet. The provision of the liquid guide portion can guide the liquid cooling medium collected in the shell to the liquid collecting plate.

The projection of the rotation axis on the first plate passes through the center of the first opening on the first plate, which can ensure that the main body of the blocking component can block the liquid cooling interface corresponding to the blocking component, and when the blocking component rotates, it can also ensure that the liquid cooling interface can be connected to the server node.

[0020] In a possible implementation manner, a first fixing block and a second fixing block are disposed in the shell, the first fixing block and the second fixing block are disposed opposite to each other, and the first fixing block and the second fixing block are used to install the blocking assembly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] The server provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a server provided in an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 A partial schematic diagram of a server provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 In the figure, X is the width direction of the cabinet, Y is the depth direction of the cabinet (also called the length direction), Z is the height direction of the cabinet, and A is the direction of the rotation axis of the blocking component in the anti-spray structure 60. It can be understood that the length direction of the server node is consistent with the depth direction of the cabinet, the width direction of the server node is consistent with the width direction of the cabinet, and the height direction of the server node is consistent with the height direction of the cabinet.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The server provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a cabinet 10, a liquid inlet pipe 20, a liquid outlet pipe 30 and a plurality of anti-spray structures 60. A plurality of liquid cooling interfaces 40 are arranged on the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid outlet pipe 30, and the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid outlet pipe 30 extend along the height direction of the cabinet 10. The plurality of liquid cooling interfaces 40 arranged on the liquid inlet pipe 20 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the cabinet 10, and the plurality of liquid cooling interfaces 40 arranged on the liquid outlet pipe 30 are also arranged at intervals along the height direction of the cabinet 10. The plurality of anti-spray structures 60 are detachably arranged on the cabinet 10, and each anti-spray structure 50 corresponds to a liquid cooling interface 40. When the server node is mounted on the cabinet, the server node is arranged in the cabinet 10, and the server node is plugged into the liquid cooling interface, the liquid cooling interface arranged on the liquid inlet pipe 20 is connected to the liquid inlet of the server node, and the liquid cooling interface 40 arranged on the liquid outlet pipe 30 is connected to the liquid outlet of the server node. When the server node is removed from the cabinet, the server node is unplugged from the cabinet 10, and the anti-spray structure 60 corresponds to the liquid cooling interface 40, which can prevent the liquid cooling medium from being sprayed out of the anti-spray structure when the liquid cooling interface 40 is abnormal, thereby affecting the stability of the server operation.

[0041] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid outlet pipe 30 are respectively arranged on both sides of the cabinet 10. The liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid outlet pipe 30 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the cabinet 10. In the height direction of the cabinet, the spacing between two adjacent liquid cooling interfaces 40 arranged on the liquid inlet pipe 20 is the same as the spacing between two adjacent liquid cooling interfaces 40 arranged on the liquid outlet pipe 30. In some examples, the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid outlet pipe 30 can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cabinet 10, and the liquid cooling interfaces 40 arranged on the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid cooling interfaces 40 arranged on the liquid outlet pipe 30 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the cabinet 10. The liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid outlet pipe 30 are arranged on both sides of the cabinet 10, so that during the plugging and unplugging process of the server node, when the liquid outlet and liquid inlet of the server node are docked with the liquid cooling interfaces 40 on the liquid outlet pipe 30 and the liquid cooling interfaces 40 on the liquid inlet pipe 20, the plugging and unplugging force is distributed on both sides of the cabinet 10, and the plugging and unplugging force can be more uniform.

[0042] In some other examples, the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid outlet pipe 30 can be arranged on the same side of the cabinet 10, and an anti-spray structure 60 can correspond to the liquid cooling outlet on the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid cooling outlet 40 on the liquid outlet pipe 30 at the same time.

[0043] Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the structure of the anti-spray structure and the liquid collecting plate in the server provided in the embodiment of the present invention corresponds to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The anti-spray structure 60 includes a shell 61 and a blocking component 62. The shell 61 has a accommodating cavity connected to the outside. The shell 61 is detachably arranged in the cabinet 10. The blocking component 62 is rotatably arranged in the accommodating cavity. The rotation axis of the blocking component 62 is tilted relative to the height direction of the cabinet 10, and the liquid cooling interface 40 is located in the accommodating cavity. The blocking component 62 is used to prevent the liquid cooling medium in the liquid cooling interface 40 from being sprayed outside the anti-spray structure when the liquid cooling interface 40 is not connected to the server node. The rotation axis A of the blocking component 62 is tilted relative to the height direction of the cabinet 10. The tilted blocking component 62 can increase the size of the blocking component 62 without increasing the size of the shell 61 along the height direction of the cabinet 10 and the width direction of the cabinet 10, so that it is suitable for a larger liquid cooling interface 40 and can be used to prevent the liquid cooling medium in the liquid cooling interface 40 from being sprayed outside the shell 61. When the size of the liquid cooling interface 40 and the joint needs to be increased due to product design or other reasons, the blocking component 62 can still block the liquid cooling interface 40 to prevent the liquid cooling medium in the liquid cooling interface 40 from being sprayed out of the shell 61 .

[0044] The server also includes a plurality of liquid collecting plates 50, each of which includes a liquid collecting tank 51. The plurality of liquid collecting plates 50 are arranged on the cabinet 10, and the plurality of liquid collecting plates 50 are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of anti-spraying structures 60. In the height direction of the cabinet 10, among the liquid collecting plates 50 and the corresponding anti-spraying structures 60, the liquid collecting plates 50 are located below the anti-spraying structures 60. When the server node is not on the cabinet, the liquid cooling interface 40 provided on the liquid inlet pipe 20 or the liquid cooling interface 40 provided on the liquid outlet pipe 30 is not connected to the server node, and when the liquid cooling interface 40 abnormally sprays the liquid-cooling medium, the blocking component of the anti-spraying structure 60 blocks the liquid-cooling medium, and the liquid-cooling medium is collected in the shell 61 of the anti-spraying structure 60. The liquid guiding portion (such as Fig.10 The first opening included in the liquid guide portion is connected to the accommodating cavity of the shell 61, and the liquid-cooling medium collected in the shell 61 is guided to the second opening of the liquid guide portion through the first opening of the liquid guide portion, and the second opening of the liquid guide portion is located above the liquid collecting tank 51, so that the liquid-cooling medium guided through the liquid guide portion enters the liquid collecting tank 51, and is collected by the liquid collecting tank 51 or guided out of the cabinet 10 through the liquid collecting tank 51.

[0045] The number of liquid collecting plates 50 may also be less than the number of anti-spraying structures 60. Specifically, along the height direction of the cabinet 10, one liquid collecting plate 50 may be used for the liquid-cooling medium collected in multiple anti-spraying structures 60. For example, one liquid collecting plate 50 may correspond to two anti-spraying structures 60, or one liquid collecting plate 50 may correspond to three anti-spraying structures 60, or one liquid collecting plate 50 may correspond to four anti-spraying structures 60, etc., as long as the liquid collecting plate 50 is located below the anti-spraying structure 60, and the liquid-cooling medium in the anti-spraying structure 60 will not be blocked by other components in the server when it flows into the liquid collecting tank 51 through the liquid guide portion.

[0046] Figure 4 Another partial schematic diagram of a server provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 4 , along the height direction of the cabinet 10, the spacing a between the centers of two adjacent liquid cooling interfaces 40 is fixed. Generally speaking, the distance between the centers of two adjacent liquid cooling interfaces 40 can be 1U space to improve the density of the server. Among them, 1U space is a standard server rack size unit in the field of computer science and information technology. Specifically, 1U represents a "unit" in a server rack, and its height a is 1.75 inches or 44.45 mm. The server rack can be understood as a frame that accommodates server nodes. When the spacing between two adjacent liquid cooling interfaces 40 is limited, and the size of the joint corresponding to the liquid cooling interface 40 and the liquid cooling interface increases, since the blocking component 62 in the anti-spraying structure 60 is tilted relative to the height direction of the cabinet 10, even if the size of the joint and the size of the liquid cooling interface increase, the blocking component 62 of the anti-spraying structure 60 can prevent the liquid cooling medium from being sprayed outside the shell without increasing the size of the shell 61 of the anti-spraying structure 60, and ensure that the joint of the server node is penetrated in the accommodating cavity and connected to the liquid cooling interface 40. In this way, when the anti-spray structure 60 is arranged on the cabinet 10, the distance between the center of the anti-spray structure and the cable backplane in the cabinet 10 is less than Figure 4 The length of b is 0.5, and the shell 61 included in the anti-spray structure 60 will not interfere with the cable backplane in the cabinet 10.

[0047] In some examples, when the connector is replaced by a 1 / 4 connector with a universal quick disconnect 04 (UQD04) blind plug connector, the size of the UQD04 connector is larger, and the size of the liquid cooling interface is correspondingly larger. At this time, the anti-injection structure of the embodiment of the present application can well complete the high-density assembly of the anti-injection structure, and adapt to larger connectors and liquid cooling interfaces without increasing the assembly space.

[0048] The above-mentioned anti-spraying structure is introduced in detail below.

[0049] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of the anti-spraying structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 6 A bottom view of the anti-spray structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 7 A top view of the anti-spray structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 8 for Figure 7 Sectional view of AA in Figure 2. Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The anti-spray structure 60 includes a shell 61 and a blocking assembly 62, and the shell 61 includes a first plate 610, a second plate 611 and a side plate. When the shell 61 is set on the cabinet 10, the first plate 610 and the second plate 611 are relatively arranged along the depth direction of the cabinet 10, and the side plate is connected between the first plate 610 and the second plate 611. The first plate 610, the second plate 611 and the side plate are enclosed together to form a receiving cavity. The first plate 610 has a first opening 6100, and the second plate 611 has a second opening 6110. The second opening 6110 corresponds to the liquid cooling interface 40, and the first opening 6100 and the second opening 6110 are relatively arranged along the depth direction of the cabinet 10, and the first opening 6100 and the second opening 6110 are both connected to the receiving cavity.

[0050] The blocking assembly 62 is rotatably disposed in the accommodating cavity, and the rotation axis A of the blocking assembly 62 is tilted relative to the height direction of the cabinet, so that the size of the blocking assembly 62 can be increased without changing the size of the shell 61. The orthographic projection of the rotation axis on the first plate 610 passes through the center of the first opening 6100 and the second opening 6110, and at least part of the blocking assembly 62 is located between the first opening 6100 and the second opening 6110. When the server node is not connected to the liquid cooling interface 40, the blocking assembly 62 is in the first state, and along the depth direction of the cabinet 10, the blocking assembly 62 is located on the extension path of the liquid cooling interface 40. The projection of the blocking assembly 62 on the second plate 611 can cover the projection of the liquid cooling interface 40 on the second plate 611, so as to prevent the liquid cooling medium from being sprayed or overflowing to the outside of the anti-spraying structure 60 through the liquid cooling interface 40 when the liquid cooling medium is abnormally sprayed or leaked. When the server node is connected to the liquid cooling interface, the blocking assembly 62 rotates from the first state to the second state, and the server node can be inserted into the accommodating cavity through the first opening 6100 and connected to the liquid cooling interface 40 .

[0051] It is worth mentioning that the rotation axis A of the blocking component 62 is tilted relative to the height direction of the cabinet, so the various components included in the blocking component are neither extended along the height direction of the cabinet nor along the length direction of the cabinet. In some specific implementations, the blocking component 62 is arranged along the diagonal direction of the shell, so that the size of the blocking component 62 is increased without increasing the size of the shell 61 along the width direction of the cabinet 10 and the height direction of the cabinet 10, so that when the size of the liquid cooling interface 40 and the joint corresponding to the liquid cooling interface 40 is increased, the blocking component 62 can still cover the liquid cooling interface 40. In addition, the orthographic projection of the rotation axis on the first plate 610 passes through the center of the first opening 6100 and the second opening 6110, which can ensure that the blocking component 62 can prevent the liquid cooling medium from being sprayed or overflowing to the outside of the anti-spraying structure 60 through the liquid cooling interface 40 when the liquid cooling medium is abnormally sprayed or leaked.

[0052] Fig. 9 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the blocking component in the anti-spraying structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 9 , the blocking assembly 62 may include a baffle 620 and a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is rotatably disposed on the side wall of the accommodating chamber. In some examples, the rotating shaft may include a first rotating shaft 621 and a second rotating shaft 622. The axes of the first rotating shaft 621 and the second rotating shaft 622 coincide, and the axes of the first rotating shaft 621 and the second rotating shaft 622 may be understood as the rotation axis. The first rotating shaft 621 and the second rotating shaft 622 are respectively connected to the two ends of the baffle 620 along the direction of the rotation axis. The first rotating shaft 621 and the second rotating shaft 622 are rotatably connected to the side plate. When the blocking assembly 62 is in the first state, the projection of the baffle 620 on the second plate 611 covers the projection of the liquid cooling interface 40 on the second plate 611, so as to prevent the liquid cooling medium in the liquid cooling interface 40 from overflowing or spraying outside the spray-proof structure 60 when the liquid cooling interface 40 is not connected to the server node. It can also be understood that when the blocking assembly 62 is in the first state, the baffle 620 can cover the center of the second opening 6110. When the blocking assembly 62 switches from the first state to the second state, the blocking piece 620 rotates to expose the liquid cooling interface 40, so as to facilitate the matching between the connector of the server node and the connector of the liquid cooling interface.

[0053] The baffle 620 includes a main body 6200, a first connection part 6201 and a second connection part 6202, wherein the first connection part 6201 and the second connection part 6202 are connected to both ends of the main body 6200. The main body 6200 may be arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped main body has a larger shielding area, which can improve the blocking effect of the blocking component 62 and reduce the occurrence of liquid cooling medium overflow or spray. The first rotating shaft 621 is fixedly connected to the first connecting part 6201, and the second rotating shaft 622 is fixedly connected to the second connecting part 6202 to ensure that the baffle 620 can rotate normally.

[0054] The angle between the rotation axis and the height direction of the cabinet 10 is between about 40° and 55°. Specifically, the angle between the rotation axis and the height direction of the cabinet 10 can be about 40°, 45°, 48°, 50° or 55°, etc. When the angle between the rotation axis and the height direction of the cabinet 10 is between about 40° and 55°, the blocking component 62 can increase the blocking area of ​​the blocking component 62 without occupying the space in the width direction and the height direction of the cabinet 10, so as to ensure that when the size of the liquid cooling interface 40 and the connector corresponding to the liquid cooling interface increases, the blocking component 62 of the anti-spray structure 60 can block the liquid cooling medium from being sprayed outside the shell, and ensure that the connector of the server node is inserted into the accommodating cavity and connected with the liquid cooling interface 40.

In some examples, the second fixing block 66 can be integrally formed with the fourth side plate 615. In some other examples, the second fixing block can be bonded to the fourth side plate 615. On the side of the fourth side plate 615 facing the third side plate 614, the fourth side plate 615 can also be provided with an avoidance groove 6152, and the avoidance groove 6152 is used to avoid the baffle, which can make the baffle larger in size and reduce the risk of interference of the baffle during rotation.

[0058] Fig.12 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second bottom plate in the anti-spray structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.10 and Fig.12 , a third opening 6112 is provided on the second main board 611a. A panel 6113 is provided on the side of the second main board 610 facing the second main board 611b, and the panel 6113 forms the second opening 6110. The panel 6133 can be inserted into the third opening 6112. The provision of the panel 6113 makes the liquid cooling interface more stable when mating with the joint of the server node. In addition, a limiting groove 6114 is provided on the second main board 611b, and the inner wall of the limiting groove 6114 is used to guide the driving rod.

[0059] It is worth mentioning that the limit groove 6114 can be formed by at least three baffles arranged on the second plate 611b. The at least three baffles can surround a limit groove 6114 with two openings, one of which is facing the first plate 610, and the other opening can be facing the second fixed block 66. This arrangement of at least three baffles can avoid interference with the at least three baffles when the gear rotates.

[0060] Continue to refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 and Fig.12 At least one first fixing hole 6101 may be provided on the first plate 610, and at least one second fixing hole 6111 may be provided on the second plate 611b. The centers of the first fixing hole 6101 and the second fixing hole 6111 coincide with each other, and the projections of the first fixing hole 6101 and the second fixing hole 6111 on the second plate 611b are both covered by the third opening 6112. The first fixing hole 6101 and the second fixing hole 6111 are used to set a connecting piece to fix the anti-spray structure 60 to the cabinet.

[0061] In the above embodiment, the housing 60 further includes a liquid guide portion 64, which is connected to the second side plate 613 and communicates with the accommodating chamber. Specifically, a first opening of the liquid guide portion 64 communicates with the accommodating chamber, a second opening of the liquid guide portion 64 is located above the liquid collecting plate, and when the anti-spraying structure is fixed in the cabinet, along the height direction of the cabinet, the first opening of the liquid guide portion 64 is higher than the second opening of the liquid guide portion 64, so as to facilitate the discharge of the liquid-cooling medium in the accommodating chamber.

[0062] Continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 The anti-spray structure further includes a driving assembly 63, one end of which is drivingly connected to one end of the blocking assembly 62, and the other end of the driving assembly 63 extends to the outside of the housing 60. The driving assembly 63 can drive the blocking assembly to rotate, so that the blocking assembly 62 is transferred from the first state to the second state.

[0063] The structure of the driving assembly 63 can be formed in various ways. Specifically, the driving assembly 63 may include a driving rod 630 and a gear 631. The driving rod 630 is arranged on the housing 60. The driving rod 630 passes through the first plate 610 and extends into the accommodating cavity. The extension direction of the driving rod 630 is parallel to the depth direction of the cabinet, and the driving rod 630 is at least partially located in the limiting groove 6114 to ensure that the driving rod 630 can stably reciprocate along the depth direction of the cabinet when being driven. Along the depth direction of the cabinet, a rack is arranged on the driving rod 630, and the gear 631 is fixed to the blocking assembly 62. The rack on the driving rod 630 is meshed with the gear 631. Among them, the gear 631 can be fixed to the second rotating shaft 622. When the driving rod 630 moves along the depth direction of the cabinet, the driving rod 630 drives the gear 631 to rotate, so as to drive the second rotating shaft 622 to rotate, thereby driving the blocking piece 620 to rotate.

[0064] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the anti-spraying structure 60 further includes a return spring 67, which is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 621, and one end of the return spring 67 is connected to the first connecting portion 6201, and the other end of the return spring 67 is connected to the first side plate 612. Specifically, the other end of the return spring 67 can also be connected to the first fixed block 65. When the baffle is driven by the driving component or driven by other external forces to rotate, the return spring 67 is compressed by force, and when the driving force of the driving component or the external force disappears, the return spring 67 is reset to restore the baffle to its initial state, so as to prevent the liquid cooling medium from overflowing or spraying outside the anti-spraying structure 60.
