[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] A liquid leakage detection line, such as Figure 1 As shown, it is applied to the board in the server, and the server using liquid cooling usually has a cold plate and a water cooling pipe passing through or fixed above the board to achieve heat dissipation of the board and other heat-generating components in the server, wherein a cold plate radiator is installed on large-packaged and high-heat-generating chips such as CPU and GPU, that is, the cold plate directly contacts the chip package surface through a heat-conducting medium, quickly transfers the heat to the cold plate, and then the heat is taken away to a heat exchange device such as a cooling tower through the coolant flowing through the cold plate. The coolant of a server circulates through two pipes, one inlet and one outlet. Generally, water is used as the coolant in the cold pipe. In the following text, water is used to refer to the coolant, and then each cold plate is connected through multiple pipes inside the server. In order to achieve accurate detection when leakage occurs in water cooling or water cooling pipes, the leakage detection line is set on the board or close to the board device.

[0041] Specifically, the leakage detection line includes: a first connector 1, a first cable 2, a sensing line 3, a second cable 4 and a second connector 5 arranged in sequence along the end, wherein the sensing line 3 is located in the middle of the leakage detection line, and the first connector 1 and the second connector 5 are respectively located at both ends, so as to realize connection with the socket in the external power supply system through the first connector 1 and the second connector 5, and then realize the electrical connection of the leakage detection line; the first cable 2 and the second cable 4 are respectively connected to the two ends of the sensing line 3, and the ends of the first cable 2 and the second cable 4 away from the sensing line 3 are respectively connected to the first connector 1 and the second connector 5. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the sensing line 3 includes a metal core body 301, a first insulating layer 302, a metal braided mesh layer 303 and a second insulating layer 304, and the first insulating layer 302, the metal braided mesh layer 303 and the second insulating layer 304 are centered on the central axis of the metal core body 301 and are arranged in sequence along the direction away from the central axis of the metal core body 301 to form a ring structure composed of the metal core body 301, the first insulating layer 302, the metal braided mesh layer 303 and the second insulating layer 304. When the first connector 1 and the second connector 5 are electrically connected to the external power supply system, the leakage result of the board is detected through the sensing line 3.

[0042] Since the leakage detection line is installed at a position close to the board, various devices such as power inductors, switch MOS tubes and CPUs are installed on the surface of the board. When the server system is started or works under high load, these devices will release strong electromagnetic interference in the area near the board. In order to reduce the influence of the above electromagnetic interference on the leakage detection result, the layer structure in the sensing line 3 in this embodiment is set to a precise mesh structure, wherein the mesh number of the metal woven mesh layer 303 is 125-150 meshes, the first insulating layer 302 and the second insulating layer 304 are set to insulating woven mesh layers, and the mesh number of the insulating woven mesh layer is 75-250 meshes. The outside of the above insulating woven mesh is wrapped by a circle of tight metal woven mesh, and the metal woven mesh is fine enough to achieve the effect of shielding external electromagnetic interference, and the layer of the above mesh structure allows the leakage to penetrate, and the leaking liquid can pass through the above metal woven mesh and the insulating woven mesh, thereby avoiding the electromagnetic interference caused by the board and realizing accurate detection of the leakage.

[0043] Furthermore, the leakage detection line in this embodiment also includes a first heat shrink tube 6, a second heat shrink tube 7, a first lead wire 8 and a second lead wire 9 connected at both ends of the sensing line 3, wherein the end of the first heat shrink tube 6 away from the sensing line 3 is connected to the first lead wire 8, the other end of the first lead wire 8 is connected to the first row of wires 2, the end of the second heat shrink tube 7 away from the sensing line 3 is connected to the second lead wire 9, and the other end of the second lead wire 9 is connected to the second row of wires 4.

[0044] In order to realize the electrical connection of the sensing line 3 through the first connector 1 and the second connector 5, the sensing line 3 is connected to the connector at the end through the first row of cables 2 and the second row of cables 4. Specifically, the first row of cables 2 includes a first wire 201 and a second wire 202, wherein the first wire 201 and the second wire 202 are respectively connected to the metal core body 301 and the metal braided mesh layer 303, and the second row of cables 4 includes a third wire 401 and a fourth wire 402, and the third wire 401 and the fourth wire 402 are respectively connected to the metal core body 301 and the metal braided mesh layer 303, so as to ensure that the electrical connection is realized through the end connector.

[0045] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first lead wire 8 and the second lead wire 9 are also provided with a first line marker 10 and a second line marker 11 respectively, wherein the first line marker 10 and the second line marker 11 are used to mark the model or connection position of the line.

[0046] In order to further ensure that the leakage detection line in this embodiment achieves a good electromagnetic shielding effect, it is necessary to set at least three grounding points for the induction line 3 in the leakage detection line, specifically including the first connector 1 and the second connector 5 are connected to the external power supply system through the connection with the board to achieve grounding connection; at the same time, a grounding wire is connected to the middle of the induction line 3, and the grounding wire passes through the second insulation layer 304 and is connected to the metal braided mesh layer 303, wherein the connection between the grounding wire and the metal braided mesh layer 303 is achieved by adding a welding point, and the other end of the grounding wire is connected to the connector of the board, and the connector of the board is connected to the grounding point on the board, thereby connecting multiple grounding points at specific positions to achieve good grounding of the leakage detection line, further effectively shielding external electromagnetic interference, and ensuring the normal operation of the leakage detection function.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the cold plate of the CPU on the board in this embodiment is connected to the liquid cooling tube through a cold head, and the induction line 3 of the leakage detection line is extended and placed above the CPU. By setting the second insulation layer 304 in the induction line 3 to be peeled off and an opening is set at the position of the CPU cold head, and the metal woven mesh layer 303 inside the second insulation layer 304 is exposed, and the metal woven mesh layer 303 is tightly fitted to the CPU cold head by using conductive cloth, wherein the conductive cloth has conductivity, one side of which is tightly fitted to the metal woven mesh of the induction line 3, and the other side is tightly fitted to the CPU cold head. At the same time, the CPU cold head and the CPU cold plate are both made of metal and are interconnected with the grounding terminal on the board, thereby realizing an additional grounding point for the leakage detection line.

[0048] Specific implementation process: install the leakage detection line in this embodiment at the corresponding position on the board, and make the sensing line 3 located in the area to be detected on the board, adjust the first connector 1 and the second connector 5 to connect with the external power supply system to realize the electrical connection of the leakage detection line, and configure the other end of the grounding wire to be connected to the connector of the board, and the connector of the board is connected to the grounding point on the board. After completing the above configuration, the area to be detected is leaked through the sensing line 3; due to the conductivity of the leakage, the voltage of the metal core body 301 will be lowered at this time, so as to obtain the leakage situation of the area to be detected through the sensing line 3. In this application, the electromagnetic interference caused by the board is avoided by combining the ring structure with the metal braided mesh in the leakage detection line, so as to realize accurate detection of the leakage situation.

[0049] Embodiment 2

[0050] Corresponding to the above embodiment, this embodiment provides a leakage detection line, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the structure of the induction line 3 is different. The induction line 3 in this embodiment includes a first connecting line 12 and a second connecting line 13, wherein the first connecting line 12 includes a first wire core 1201 and a first insulating braided mesh layer 1202, and the second connecting line 13 includes a second wire core 1301 and a second insulating braided mesh layer 1302. The first connecting line 12 and the second connecting line 13 are insulated and arranged closely, and a third insulating braided mesh layer 14 is arranged outside the first connecting line 12 and the second connecting line 13. Exemplarily, when a water-cooling pipe leaks, the cooling water in the pipe will flow out to the bottom of the pipe, soaking the first connecting line 12 and the second connecting line 13. Since water is conductive, it will cause a short circuit between the two wires in the leakage detection line. One of the wires of the leakage line is pulled to a high level, generally a 3.3V voltage, and the other is grounded, so that the voltage on the high-level line will be pulled down to close to 0V. The two ends of the leakage line are connected to the board through connectors, and one end of the high-level line output is connected to the voltage comparator. After comparison with the reference voltage value, a high level or a low level is output. The reference voltage is generally set between 1V and 2V. When the voltage on the high-level line is higher than the reference voltage, a high level is output, otherwise a low level is output. When a leakage occurs, the voltage of the high-level line is lower than the reference voltage of the comparator, and the comparator will output a low level. The output of the voltage comparator is connected to the BMC. As the core of the server management system, the BMC will record the leakage information in the log and issue a leakage alarm.

The GPIO pin of the baseboard management controller receives the output result of the voltage comparator. When leakage is detected in the area to be detected, since the coolant is conductive, it will soak the leakage detection line and cause a short circuit between the metal core body 301 and the metal woven mesh layer 303, thereby lowering the voltage of the metal core body 301. When the voltage of the metal core body 301 drops below the reference voltage, the output of the voltage comparator changes from a high level to a low level. At this time, the baseboard management controller receives the output result of the voltage comparator and obtains the information that the level has dropped. Based on this, it sends an alarm to the server platform, notifies the operation and maintenance personnel, and records the log information.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, the first connector 1 and the second connector 5 are grounded when connected to an external power supply system.

[0064] In a specific embodiment, the first cable 2 includes a first wire 201 and a second wire 202, the other ends of which are connected to the first connector 1, and the second cable 4 includes a third wire 401 and a fourth wire 402, the other ends of which are connected to the second connector 5.

[0065] Specific implementation process: install the leakage detection line in this embodiment at the corresponding position on the board, and make the sensing line 3 located in the area to be detected on the board, adjust the first connector 1 and the second connector 5 to connect with the external power supply system to realize the electrical connection of the leakage detection line, and configure the other end of the grounding wire to be connected to the connector of the board, and the connector of the board is connected to the grounding point on the board. After completing the above configuration, the area to be detected is leaked through the sensing line 3. At this time, the reference voltage value is pre-set in the voltage comparator; and the voltage comparator is set to communicate with the baseboard management controller; in response to starting the leakage detection of the area to be detected, when leakage occurs, the metal core body 301 and the metal braided mesh layer 303 will be short-circuited after the leakage detection line is soaked, and the output of the voltage comparator will change from a high level to a low level. At this time, the baseboard management controller receives the output result of the voltage comparator and confirms that leakage occurs.
