DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0028] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, but the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the whole cabinet server provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: A cabinet frame 1, wherein at least one side of the cabinet frame 1 is provided with a mounting opening, and a cabinet space is provided inside the cabinet frame; Server 2 is installed in the cabinet space through the installation port; The liquid cooling component includes a liquid cooling circuit and at least two first water collectors 3. The liquid cooling circuit is arranged in the server 2. The at least two first water collectors 3 are respectively connected to the two ends of the liquid cooling circuit, which are the first water inlet collector and the first water outlet collector. The two first water collectors 3 are arranged on the left side and / or right side of the cabinet frame 1 and are supported between the upper beam 11 and the lower beam 12 of the cabinet frame 1.

[0030] The coolant enters from the first water inlet manifold, enters the liquid cooling circuit through the first water inlet manifold, and then flows out from the first water outlet manifold to achieve cooling and heat dissipation of the server 2. The first manifold 3 does not need to be hung on the cabinet frame 1, but is supported between the upper crossbeams 11 and the upper crossbeams 11 as a column of the cabinet frame 1, which does not increase the weight of the cabinet and does not occupy the cabinet space. It can improve the strength and stability of the cabinet frame 1 and improve the cabinet density of the entire cabinet server 2. The solution of enhancing the overall strength of the cabinet frame 1 by setting the first manifold 3 does not need to use high-strength materials to produce the cabinet frame 1, thereby reducing costs.

[0031] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the cabinet frame 1 is composed of an upper beam 11, a lower beam 12, and a column arranged between the upper beam 11 and the lower beam 12. The number of the upper beams 11 is at least 4, forming a rectangular frame structure, and the number of the lower beams 12 is at least 4, forming a rectangular frame structure. The column is connected to the ends of the upper beam 11 and the lower beam 12, and the column, the upper beam 11, and the lower beam 12 together form a rectangular parallelepiped frame structure. A cabinet space is formed inside the cabinet frame 1, and the two sides of the cabinet frame 1 that are relatively arranged form an installation port for the server 2 to be installed. These two sides are defined as the front side and the rear side of the cabinet frame 1. When in use, the front side is usually facing the user, and the rear side is facing away from the user. When the user faces the front side of the cabinet frame 1, the side of the cabinet frame 1 corresponding to the left hand side is the left side of the cabinet frame 1, and the side of the cabinet frame 1 corresponding to the right hand side is the right side of the cabinet frame 1.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of the first water collectors 3 is two, and among the two first water collectors 3, one is a first water inlet collector, and the other is a first water outlet collector. The two first water collectors 3 can be arranged on the same side of the cabinet frame 1, or on different sides of the cabinet frame 1. For example, the two first water collectors 3 can be both arranged on the left side of the cabinet frame 1, or both arranged on the right side of the cabinet frame 1, or one can be arranged on the left side of the cabinet frame 1, and the other can be arranged on the right side of the cabinet frame 1. The two first water collectors 3 are arranged relative to each other, which not only can support the cabinet frame 1, but also ensures that the force of the cabinet frame 1 is balanced, and the layout is more reasonable.

[0033] For example, Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, two first water collectors 3 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the cabinet frame 1, serving as the left column and the right column of the cabinet frame 1 to support the left and right sides of the cabinet frame 1, thereby improving the strength and reliability of the cabinet frame 1.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, the upper crossbeam is provided with a notch, and one end of the first water collector is fixedly embedded in the notch, and the outer side surface of the first water collector is flush with the outer side surface of the upper crossbeam and the outer side surface of the lower crossbeam. One end of the first water collector is embedded in the notch of the upper crossbeam, which does not occupy the cabinet space, thereby improving the utilization rate of the cabinet space, and the outer side surface of the first water collector is flush with the outer side surface of the upper crossbeam and the outer side surface of the lower crossbeam. The setting of the first water collector does not affect the aesthetic appearance of the cabinet frame. In some embodiments of the present application, the two ends of the first water collector 3 are respectively welded and fixed to the upper crossbeam 11 and the lower crossbeam 12. When the cabinet is produced and assembled, the purchased finished water collector can be directly welded to the cabinet frame 1 to support the cabinet frame 1, avoiding the installation of the water collector on the crossbeam of the cabinet frame 1 in the conventional cabinet, which increases the weight of the cabinet. The fixing method of welding is simple in process, and at the same time avoids the problem of occupying cabinet space caused by fastening with screws, further improving the utilization rate of the cabinet space.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the first water collector 3 includes a first liquid supply pipe 31 and a plurality of first joints 32 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first liquid supply pipe 31. The plurality of first joints 32 are all facing the front side or the rear side of the cabinet frame 1. The first liquid supply pipe 31 is fixed between the upper crossbeam 11 and the lower crossbeam 12, and acts as a column. The first joint 32 is used to connect the liquid cooling circuit with the interior of the first liquid supply pipe 31, so as to realize the flow of cooling liquid between the first liquid supply pipe 31 and the liquid cooling circuit. The plurality of first joints 32 can be connected to the plurality of nodes in the server 2 to realize the cooling and heat dissipation of each node. The plurality of first joints 32 are all arranged toward the front side or the rear side of the cabinet frame 1, so that the server 2 loaded into the cabinet space from the front side or the rear side of the cabinet frame 1 can be directly and quickly connected to the first water collector 3.

[0036] Exemplary, combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first connector 32 is arranged toward the front side of the cabinet frame 1, and a second connector 2111 is provided on the server 2 loaded into the cabinet space from the front side of the cabinet frame 1. When the server 2 is assembled in place, the second connector 2111 is opposite to the position of the first connector 32, and blind connection can be directly realized.

[0037] The multiple first joints 32 on the first water collector 3 and the multiple first joints 32 on the first water blowing water collector are arranged at the same height in a one-to-one correspondence. That is, the number of the first joints 32 on the two water collectors is equal, and a first joint 32 on the first water inlet manifold is arranged at the same height as a first joint 32 on the first water outlet manifold, and these two first joints 32 form a group and are connected to a liquid cooling circuit during installation.

[0038] Combination Figure 4 As shown, a first main joint 33 is provided at the upper end of the first liquid supply pipe 3, and the first main joint 33 serves as a main joint for water inlet or water outlet. On the first water inlet manifold, the first main joint 33 serves as a main joint for water inlet, and on the first water outlet manifold, the first main joint 3 serves as a main joint for water outlet.

[0039] Combination Figure 7 As shown, the front side of the cabinet frame 1 forms a first installation port connected to the cabinet space, the rear side of the cabinet frame 1 forms a second installation port connected to the cabinet space, the two first water collectors 3 are located between the first installation port and the second installation port, the cabinet space is the part between the two first water collectors 3 and the first installation port is the first installation space, and the part between the cabinet space and the second installation port is the second installation space. Specifically, the space between the first installation port of the cabinet frame 1 and the first water collector 3 is the first installation space, and the space between the second installation port of the cabinet frame 1 and the first water collector 3 is the second installation space.

[0040] The server 2 includes a first functional module 21 and a second functional module 22. The first functional module 21 is located in the first installation space, and the second functional module 22 is located in the second installation space. A first connector 2112 is provided on the side of the first functional module 21 facing the second functional module 22, and a second connector is provided on the side of the second functional module 22 facing the second connector. The second connector 2212 is arranged opposite to and correspondingly connected to the first connector 2112. The first functional module 21 and the second functional module 22 are respectively loaded into the first installation space and the second installation space from the front side and the rear side of the cabinet frame 1. When the first functional module 21 and the second functional module 22 are loaded into the cabinet space, they can be directly connected through the first connector 2112 and the second connector 2212 without the need to be interconnected through a cable backplane.

[0041] In the related art, multiple nodes in the server 2 are stacked, and the connection between different nodes can only be achieved through the cable backplane. The internal cable connection relationship of the cable backplane is complex, and each connector is interconnected with multiple connectors. Once a connector or a cable fails, the entire cable backplane needs to be disassembled, and then the multiple connectors need to be disassembled for replacement. The operation and maintenance cost is high and time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, when two nodes are interconnected through a cable backplane, two-level connectors and a section of cable are required, and the signal quality is greatly reduced.

[0042] Combination Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first functional module 21 includes a plurality of stacked first nodes 211, the first nodes 211 are arranged in the horizontal direction, and a plurality of first connectors 2112 are arranged on the first nodes 211; the second functional module 22 includes a plurality of stacked second nodes 221, the second nodes 221 are arranged in the vertical direction, and a plurality of second connectors are arranged on the second nodes 221, and the second nodes 221 are orthogonally connected to the first nodes 211. Specifically, a plurality of rows of first connectors 2112 are arranged in the horizontal direction on one side of the first node 211 facing the second node 221, and the number of the first connectors 2112 in each row is one or more, and one or more rows of first connectors 2112 are arranged in the vertical direction. For example, in some embodiments of the present application, two rows of first connectors 2112 are arranged in the vertical direction, and the two rows of first connectors 2112 are arranged one by one, so as to form a plurality of rows, and the first connectors 2112 in each row are plugged into the second connectors 2212 of the same number as those on the second node 221. For example, in some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of second connectors 2212 are sequentially arranged in the longitudinal direction on one side of the second node 221 opposite to the first node 211, and two adjacent second connectors 2212 are correspondingly plugged into a row of first connectors 2112 (two first connectors 2112) on the first node 211. In this arrangement, any first node 211 among the plurality of first nodes 211 can correspond to one or more second nodes 221, and any second node 221 among the plurality of second nodes 221 can correspond to one or more first nodes 211, so as to realize orthogonal interconnection of the plurality of first nodes 211 and the plurality of second nodes 221.

[0043] The advantages of orthogonal interconnection between the first node 211 and the second node 221 are: first, the cable backplane is eliminated, and the first connector 2112 and the second connector 2212 are directly connected, which saves a lot of cost; second, the signal transmission path between the first node 211 and the second node is simplified from the first connector 2112 of the cable backplane solution → cable backplane connector → cable inside the cable backplane → cable backplane connector → second connector 2212 to the first connector 2112 → second connector 2212, which greatly reduces signal loss and improves system signal quality; third, it is easy to operate and maintain. When the connection structure fails, only the single connector of the single node needs to be repaired and replaced, and there is no need to operate the entire cable backplane and multiple internal connectors.

[0044] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, the liquid cooling circuit includes a first liquid cooling circuit provided on the first node 211, and the first node 211 is provided with two second joints 2111 connected to both ends of the first liquid cooling circuit, and the two second joints 2111 are respectively connected to the first joints 32 on the first water inlet manifold and the first water outlet manifold. The cooling liquid circulates through the first water inlet manifold, the first joint 32, the second joint 2111, the first liquid cooling circuit, the second joint 2111, the first joint 32, and then through the first water outlet manifold, thereby cooling and dissipating the first node 211. The first node 211 is connected to the two first manifolds 3 through the second joint 2111 and the first joint 32. When the first functional module 21 is installed in the first cabinet space, the second joint 2111 and the first joint 32 can be correspondingly plugged in, thereby improving the convenience of connecting the first manifold 3 with the first liquid cooling circuit.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the second connector 2111 and the first connector 2112 are arranged on the same side of the first node 211, that is, the side of the first node 211 facing the second node. When the first node 211 is installed in the cabinet space, the two second connectors 2111 on the first node 211 are just plugged into the first connectors 32 on the two first water collectors 3, and the first connector 2112 is just plugged into the corresponding second connector 2212, thereby realizing the connectivity of the liquid cooling channel and the connectivity of the signal channel.

[0046] The first water collector 3 and the first liquid cooling circuit realize cooling and heat dissipation of the first node 211. In order to realize cooling and heat dissipation of the second node 221, in some embodiments of the present application, the liquid cooling component also includes a second water collector group, and the second water collector 4 includes two second water collectors 4, and the two second water collectors 4 are respectively a second water inlet water collector and a second water outlet water collector, the second water inlet water collector is connected to the first water inlet water collector, and the second water outlet water collector is connected to the first water outlet water collector; the liquid cooling circuit also includes a second liquid cooling circuit arranged at the second node, and the two ends of the second liquid cooling circuit are respectively connected to the second water inlet water collector and the second water outlet water collector. After the coolant enters the first water inlet water collector, it enters the second water inlet water collector through one of the first joints 32 on the first water inlet water collector, and then enters each second liquid cooling circuit, enters the second water outlet water collector through the second liquid cooling circuit, and then enters the first water outlet water collector through the second water outlet water collector and is discharged, thereby realizing cooling and heat dissipation of the second node. The first water inlet manifold serves as the total water inlet manifold, not only directly introducing cooling liquid into the first liquid cooling circuit, but also directly providing cooling liquid to the second water inlet manifold. The second water inlet manifold is equivalent to a branch of the first water inlet manifold, and is connected to the first joint 32 on the first water inlet manifold. Similarly, the first water outlet manifold serves as the total water outlet manifold, not only directly receiving cooling liquid from the first liquid cooling circuit, but also directly receiving cooling liquid from the second water outlet manifold. The second water outlet manifold is equivalent to a branch of the first water outlet inlet manifold, and is connected to the first joint 32 on the first water outlet manifold. In other words, the first joint 32 on the first manifold 3 is not only connected to the second joint 2111 on the first liquid cooling circuit, but also a second joint 2111 is provided on the second manifold 4 to connect to the first joint 32 on the first manifold 3.

[0047] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, the second water inlet manifold and the second water outlet manifold both include a second liquid supply pipe 41 and a plurality of third joints 42 spaced apart along the length direction of the second liquid supply pipe 41, and two fourth joints 2211 are provided on the second node 221, the two fourth joints 2211 are respectively connected to the second liquid cooling circuit, and the two fourth joints 2211 are respectively connected to the third joint 42 on the second water inlet manifold and the third joint 42 on the second water outlet manifold. The arrangement of the third joint 42 and the fourth joint 2211 realizes the direct connection between the second liquid cooling circuit and the second water inlet manifold and the second water outlet manifold. When the second node 221 is installed, the positions of the second water inlet manifold and the second water outlet manifold are fixed, and the second node 221 only needs to be installed as required to ensure the direct docking of the third joint 42 and the fourth joint 2211, so that the coolant can enter the second liquid cooling circuit to cool and dissipate the heat of the second node 221.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the second liquid supply pipe 41 is arranged in the horizontal direction, and the third joint 42 is located on the side of the second liquid supply pipe 41 facing the second node, so that the third joint 42 can be directly connected with the fourth joint 2211. The second liquid supply pipe 41 is arranged in the horizontal direction, and the second liquid supply pipe 41 can cover multiple second nodes 221 to achieve connection with multiple second nodes 221. Exemplarily, the second water inlet manifold and the second water outlet manifold are arranged at 180 degrees, and the third joint 42 on the second water inlet manifold is arranged one by one with the third joint 42 on the second water outlet manifold, and the third joint 42 on the second water inlet manifold is arranged in a group with the corresponding second joint 2111 on the second water outlet manifold, and a group of third joints 42 is correspondingly connected with two fourth joints 2211 on a second node 221. In other words, the two fourth joints 2211 on the second node 221 are arranged in sequence in the vertical direction. Multiple groups of third connectors 42 are respectively connected to the fourth connectors 2211 on multiple second nodes 221. Therefore, after the coolant enters the second water inlet manifold from the first water inlet manifold, it can be passed into the multiple second liquid cooling circuits connected thereto, thereby realizing cooling and heat dissipation of the multiple second nodes. The cooling efficiency is relatively high, thereby improving the safety of the server 2.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, there are multiple first functional modules 21, and multiple first functional modules 21 are vertically stacked in the first installation space, and / or, there are multiple second functional modules 22, and multiple second functional modules 22 are vertically stacked in the second installation space. For the same number of first nodes 211, in the related art, they are installed one by one in the frame space in a stacked arrangement. During the installation process, the installation errors of the first nodes 211 layer by layer are continuously accumulated, which may cause the upper first node 211 to be unable to be installed. In the embodiment of the present application, the first node 211 is partitioned, and the multiple first nodes 211 are divided into multiple first functional modules 21. The installation accuracy of each first functional module 21 is controlled by the partition, thereby reducing the accumulation of errors and improving the overall installation accuracy of the server 2.
