Detailed implementation manners

[0043] In order to more clearly understand the above objects, features and advantages of the present application, the solutions of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0044] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. However, the present application may be practiced in other ways different from those described herein. Obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0045] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the all-in-one cabinet server provided by the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0046] A cabinet frame 1, at least one side of the cabinet frame 1 is provided with an installation opening, and a cabinet space is provided inside the cabinet frame;

[0047] A server 2, installed in the cabinet space through the installation opening;

[0048] A liquid cooling component, including a liquid cooling circuit and at least two first water collectors 3. The liquid cooling circuit is arranged inside the server 2, and at least two first water collectors 3 are respectively connected to both ends of the liquid cooling circuit, which are respectively a first water inlet collector and a first water outlet collector. And the two first water collectors 3 are arranged on the left side and / or the right side of the cabinet frame 1, and are supported between the upper cross beam 11 and the lower cross beam 12 of the cabinet frame 1.

[0049] Cooling liquid enters from the first water inlet collector, enters the liquid cooling circuit through the first water inlet collector, and then flows out from the first water outlet collector to realize the cooling and heat dissipation of the server 2. The first water collector 3 is not externally hung on the cabinet frame 1, but serves as a column of the cabinet frame 1 and is supported between the upper cross beam 11 and the upper cross beam 11, without increasing the load of the cabinet and without occupying the cabinet space, which can improve the strength and stability of the cabinet frame 1, and at the same time improve the cabinet density of the all-in-one cabinet server 2. The solution of enhancing the overall strength of the cabinet frame 1 through the setting of the first water collector 3 does not require the use of high-strength materials to produce the cabinet frame 1, thus reducing the cost.

[0050] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the cabinet frame 1 is composed of an upper cross beam 11, a lower cross beam 12, and columns arranged between the upper cross beam 11 and the lower cross beam 12. The number of upper cross beams 11 is at least 4, forming a rectangular frame structure. The number of lower cross beams 12 is at least 4, forming a rectangular frame structure. The columns are connected to the ends of the upper cross beam 11 and the lower cross beam 12. The columns, the upper cross beam 11, and the lower cross beam 12 together form a cuboid frame structure. A cabinet space is formed inside the cabinet frame 1. Installation openings for the server 2 to be inserted are formed on two opposite sides of the cabinet frame 1. These two sides are defined as the front side and the rear side of the cabinet frame 1. In use, usually the front side faces the user, and the rear side faces away from the user. When the user faces the front side of the cabinet frame 1, the side corresponding to the user's left hand is the left side of the cabinet frame 1, and the side corresponding to the user's right hand is the right side of the cabinet frame 1.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of the first water collectors 3 is two. Among the two first water collectors 3, one is the first inlet water collector and the other is the first outlet water 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 both be arranged on the left side of the cabinet frame 1, or both be 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 on the right side of the cabinet frame 1. The two first water collectors 3 are arranged opposite to each other, which can not only support the cabinet frame 1, but also ensure the balanced force of the cabinet frame 1 and make the layout more reasonable.

[0052] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the two first water collectors 3 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the cabinet frame 1, and serve 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.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, the upper cross beam is provided with a notch, and one end of the first water collector is fixedly embedded in the notch. The outer side surface of the first water collector is flush with the outer side surface of the upper cross beam and the outer side surface of the lower cross beam. Embedding one end of the first water collector into the notch of the upper cross beam does not occupy the cabinet space and improves the utilization rate of the cabinet space. Moreover, the outer side surface of the first water collector is flush with the outer side surface of the upper cross beam and the outer side surface of the lower cross beam, so the setting of the first water collector does not affect the aesthetics of the appearance of the cabinet frame.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the two ends of the first water collector 3 are respectively welded and fixed to the upper cross beam 11 and the lower cross beam 12. When producing and assembling the cabinet, the purchased finished water collector can be directly welded to the cabinet frame 1 to realize the support of the cabinet frame 1, avoiding the problem of increasing the load of the cabinet when installing the water collector on the cross beam of the cabinet frame 1 in a conventional cabinet. The fixed method by welding has a simple process, and at the same time avoids the problem of occupying the cabinet space caused by screw fastening, further improving the utilization rate of the cabinet space.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, in combination with Figure 4As shown, the first water collector 3 includes a first liquid supply pipe 31 and a plurality of first connectors 32 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first liquid supply pipe 31. The plurality of first connectors 32 all face the front side or the rear side of the cabinet frame 1. The first liquid supply pipe 31 is fixed between the upper cross beam 11 and the lower cross beam 12 and functions as a column. The first connector 32 is used to connect the liquid cooling circuit to the inside of the first liquid supply pipe 31 to realize the flow of the coolant between the first liquid supply pipe 31 and the liquid cooling circuit. The plurality of first connectors 32 can be connected to a plurality of nodes in the server 2 to realize the cooling and heat dissipation of each node. The plurality of first connectors 32 are all arranged facing 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.

[0056] Exemplarily, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first connector 32 faces the front side of the cabinet frame 1. 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 position of the second connector 2111 is directly opposite to that of the first connector 32, and blind connection can be directly realized.

[0057] The plurality of first connectors 32 on the first water collector 3 and the plurality of first connectors 32 on the first water blowing and collecting device are arranged at the same height in one-to-one correspondence. That is to say, the number of the first connectors 32 on the two water collectors is equal, and one first connector 32 on the first water inlet collector is arranged at the same height as one first connector 32 on the first water outlet collector. These two first connectors 32 are a group and are connected to one liquid cooling circuit during installation.

[0058] In combination with Figure 4 As shown, a first main connector 33 is provided at the upper end of the first liquid supply pipe 31. The first main connector 33 serves as the main connector for water inlet or outlet. On the first water inlet collector, the first main connector 33 serves as the main connector for water inlet. On the first water outlet collector, the first main connector 33 serves as the main connector for water outlet.

[0059] In combination with Figure 7 As shown, a first installation opening communicating with the cabinet space is formed on the front side of the cabinet frame 1, and a second installation opening communicating with the cabinet space is formed on the rear side of the cabinet frame 1. Two first water collectors 3 are located between the first installation opening and the second installation opening. The part of the cabinet space between the two first water collectors 3 and the first installation opening is the first installation space, and the part of the cabinet space between the second installation opening is the second installation space. Specifically, the space between the first installation opening of the cabinet frame 1 and the first water collector 3 is the first installation space, and the space between the second installation opening of the cabinet frame 1 and the first water collector 3 is the second installation space.

[0060] The server 2 includes a first functional module 21 and a second functional module 22. The first functional module 21 is located in a first installation space, and the second functional module 22 is located in a second installation space. A first connector 2112 is provided on one side of the first functional module 21 facing the second functional module 22. A second connector is provided on one side of the second functional module 22 facing the second connector, and the second connector 2212 is disposed 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 direct connection of the first connector 2112 and the second connector 2212, without the need to implement interconnection through a cable backplane.

[0061] In the related art, multiple nodes in the server 2 are stacked, and the connection between different nodes can only be implemented through a cable backplane. The internal cable connection relationship of the cable backplane is complex, and each connector is interconnected with multiple connectors. Once a certain connector or a certain cable fails, the entire cable backplane needs to be disassembled, and then multiple connectors need to be disassembled for replacement. The operation and maintenance cost is high and it is time-consuming and laborious. Moreover, when two nodes are interconnected through a cable backplane, two-level connectors and a section of cable are required, and the signal quality drops significantly.

[0062] Combined with Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first functional module 21 includes a plurality of first nodes 211 arranged in a stacked manner. The first nodes 211 are arranged horizontally, and a plurality of first connectors 2112 are provided on the first nodes 211; the second functional module 22 includes a plurality of second nodes 221 arranged in a stacked manner. The second nodes 221 are arranged vertically, and a plurality of second connectors are provided on the second nodes 221. The second nodes 221 are in positive cross-connection with the first nodes 211. Specifically, on the side of the first node 211 facing the second node 221, multiple columns of first connectors 2112 are arranged horizontally. The number of first connectors 2112 in each column is one or more, and one row or more rows of first connectors 2112 are arranged vertically. Exemplarily, in some embodiments of the present application, two rows of first connectors 2112 are arranged vertically. The two rows of first connectors 2112 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, thus forming multiple columns. Each column of first connectors 2112 is correspondingly plugged into the second connectors 2212 with the same number on the second node 221. For example, in some embodiments of the present application, on the side of the second node 221 opposite to the first node 211, a plurality of second connectors 2212 are arranged in sequence vertically. Two adjacent second connectors 2212 are correspondingly plugged into a column of first connectors 2112 (two first connectors 2112) on the first node 211. In this setting manner, any one of the multiple first nodes 211 can correspond to one or more second nodes 221, and any one of the multiple second nodes 221 can correspond to one or more first nodes 211, so as to realize the positive cross-connection of the multiple first nodes 211 and the multiple second nodes 221.

[0063] The advantages of the positive cross-connection between the first node 211 and the second node 221 are as follows: First, the cable backplane is cancelled, and the first connector 2112 and the second connector 2212 are directly connected, saving a large amount of cost; second, the signal transmission path between the first node 211 and the second node is simplified from the first connector 2112 → cable backplane connector → internal cable of the cable backplane → cable backplane connector → second connector 2212 in the cable backplane solution to the first connector 2112 → second connector 2212, greatly reducing signal loss and improving the signal quality of the system; third, it is convenient for operation and maintenance. When a connection structure fails, only a single connector of a single node needs to be repaired and replaced, and there is no need to operate on the entire cable backplane and multiple internal connectors.

[0064] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, the liquid cooling circuit includes a first liquid cooling circuit disposed on the first node 211. Two second connectors 2111 communicating with both ends of the first liquid cooling circuit are provided on the first node 211, and the two second connectors 2111 are respectively and correspondingly connected to the first connectors 32 on the first water inlet header and the first water outlet header. The coolant circulates through the first water inlet header, the first connector 32, the second connector 2111, the first liquid cooling circuit, the second connector 2111, the first connector 32, and then through the first water outlet header, thereby realizing the cooling of the first node 211. The first node 211 is connected to the two first headers 3 through the second connectors 2111 and the first connectors 32. When the first functional module 21 is installed in the first cabinet space, the second connectors 2111 and the first connectors 32 can be correspondingly plugged in, improving the convenience of the connection between the first header 3 and the first liquid cooling circuit.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the second connectors 2111 and the first connectors 2112 are disposed 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 exactly correspondingly plugged into the first connectors 32 on the two first headers 3, and the first connectors 2112 are exactly correspondingly plugged into the corresponding second connectors 2212, realizing the connection of the liquid cooling channel and the signal channel.

[0066] The first water collector 3 and the first liquid cooling loop achieve the cooling and heat dissipation of the first node 211. In order to achieve the cooling and heat dissipation of the second node 221, in some embodiments of the present application, the liquid cooling assembly further includes a second water collector group. The second water collector 4 includes two second water collectors 4, which are respectively a second inlet water collector and a second outlet water collector. The second inlet water collector is connected to the first inlet water collector, and the second outlet water collector is connected to the first outlet water collector. The liquid cooling loop further includes a second liquid cooling loop provided at the second node, and both ends of the second liquid cooling loop are respectively connected to the second inlet water collector and the second outlet water collector. After the coolant enters the first inlet water collector, it enters the second inlet water collector through one of the first connectors 32 on the first inlet water collector, then enters each second liquid cooling loop, enters the second outlet water collector through the second liquid cooling loop, and then enters the first outlet water collector through the second outlet water collector and is discharged, thereby achieving the cooling and heat dissipation of the second node. The first inlet water collector, as the total inlet water collector, not only directly supplies the coolant to the first liquid cooling loop, but also directly provides the coolant for the second inlet water collector. The second inlet water collector is equivalent to a branch of the first inlet water collector and is connected to the first connector 32 on the first inlet water collector. Similarly, the first outlet water collector, as the total outlet water collector, not only directly receives the coolant from the first liquid cooling loop, but also directly receives the coolant from the second outlet water collector. The second outlet water collector is equivalent to a branch of the first outlet water collector and is connected to the first connector 32 on the first outlet water collector. That is to say, the first connector 32 on the first water collector 3 not only needs to be connected to the second connector 2111 on the first liquid cooling loop, but also a second connector 2111 is provided on the second water collector 4 and is connected to the first connector 32 on the first water collector 3.

[0067] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, both the second inlet water collector and the second outlet water collector include a second liquid supply pipe 41 and a plurality of third connectors 42 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the second liquid supply pipe 41. Two fourth connectors 2211 are provided on the second node 221. The two fourth connectors 2211 are respectively communicated with the second liquid cooling loop, and the two fourth connectors 2211 are respectively connected to the third connectors 42 on the second inlet water collector and the third connectors 42 on the second outlet water collector in a corresponding manner. The setting of the third connector 42 and the fourth connector 2211 realizes the direct connection between the second liquid cooling loop and the second inlet water collector and the second outlet water collector. When installing the second node 221, the positions of the second inlet water collector and the second outlet water collector are fixed. Only by installing the second node 221 as required can the direct docking of the third connector 42 and the fourth connector 2211 be ensured, so that the coolant can enter the second liquid cooling loop to cool and dissipate heat from the second node 221.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the second liquid supply pipe 41 is arranged horizontally, and the third joint 42 is located on the side of the second liquid supply pipe 41 facing the second node, ensuring that the third joint 42 can be directly docked with the fourth joint 2211. By arranging the second liquid supply pipe 41 horizontally, the second liquid supply pipe 41 can cover multiple second nodes 221, realizing the 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 joints 42 on the second water inlet manifold are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the third joints 42 on the second water outlet manifold. The third joint 42 on the second water inlet manifold and the corresponding second joint 2111 on the second water outlet manifold form a group, and a group of third joints 42 are correspondingly connected to the two fourth joints 2211 on one second node 221. That is to say, the two fourth joints 2211 on the second node 221 are arranged in sequence vertically. Multiple groups of third joints 42 are respectively connected to the fourth joints 2211 on multiple second nodes 221. Thus, after the coolant enters the second water inlet manifold from the first water inlet manifold, it can be introduced into multiple second liquid cooling circuits connected thereto, realizing the cooling and heat dissipation of multiple second nodes, with relatively high cooling efficiency, and further improving the security of the server 2.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of the first functional modules 21 is multiple, and the multiple first functional modules 21 are stacked vertically in the first installation space, and / or the number of the second functional modules 22 is multiple, and the multiple second functional modules 22 are stacked vertically in the second installation space. For the same number of first nodes 211, in the related art, they are placed in a stacked manner and installed one by one into the frame space. During the installation process, the installation errors of the first nodes 211 layer by layer accumulate continuously, which may cause the upper first nodes 211 to be unable to be installed. In the embodiments of the present application, the first nodes 211 are partitioned, and the multiple first nodes 211 are divided into multiple first functional modules 21, and the installation accuracy of each first functional module 21 is controlled by partitioning, thereby reducing the accumulation of errors and improving the overall installation accuracy of the server 2.

[0070] Exemplarily, in some embodiments of the present application, the first installation space is divided into 4 front areas, and the second installation space is divided into 4 rear areas. The front areas are used to accommodate the first functional modules 21, and the rear areas are used to accommodate the second functional modules 22. The structures of the 4 front areas and the first nodes 211 accommodated therein are completely the same, and the structures of the 4 rear areas and the second nodes 221 accommodated therein are also completely the same. In an actual system, any number of areas can be configured according to needs. The flexibility is improved, and the usage requirements of different customers can be met.

[0071] Specifically, in combination with Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the first functional module 21 further includes a first housing 212. The first nodes 211 are arranged horizontally, and a plurality of first nodes 211 are stacked vertically within the first housing 212. Both the front and rear sides of the first housing 212 are open, facilitating the installation of the first nodes 211 and the corresponding connection between the first nodes 211 and the second nodes and the first water collector 3. To control the installation accuracy of the first nodes 211, first card slots are provided on the left and right sidewalls of the first housing 212, and the left and right sides of the first nodes 211 are respectively limited within the first card slots on the left and the first card slots on the right, avoiding the problems of inaccurate installation positions of the first nodes 211 and skewing of their positions after installation.

[0072] Combined with Figure 9 As shown, similarly, the second functional module 22 includes a second housing 222. The second nodes 221 are arranged vertically, and a plurality of second nodes 221 are stacked horizontally within the second housing 222. Both the front and rear sides of the second housing 222 are open, facilitating the installation of the second nodes 221 and the corresponding connection between the second nodes 221 and the first nodes 211 and the second water collector 4. To control the installation accuracy of the second nodes 221, second card slots are provided on the upper and lower sidewalls of the second housing 222, and the left and right sides of the second nodes 221 are respectively limited within the second card slots on the upper side and the second card slots on the lower side, avoiding the problems of inaccurate installation positions of the second nodes 221 and skewing of their positions after installation.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of the second water collector groups is equal to and corresponds one-to-one with the number of the second functional modules 22. That is to say, one group of second water collector groups provides coolant for one second functional module 22. The number of the third connectors 42 on one second water collector 4 is equal to the number of the second nodes in one second functional module 22.

[0074] Furthermore, to power on the first nodes 211 and the second nodes, a first power supply copper bar 5 and a second power supply copper bar 6 are further included. The first power supply copper bar 5 is connected to the first functional module 21 for powering the first functional module 21; the second power supply copper bar 6 is connected between the first power supply copper bar 5 and the second functional module 22, and the first power supply copper bar 5 powers the second functional module 22 through the second power supply copper bar 6.

[0075] Exemplarily, the number of the first power supply copper bars 5 is one, and one first power supply copper bar 5 can supply power to all the first nodes 211 simultaneously. The number of the second power supply copper bars 6 is equal to the number of the second functional modules 22, and the second power supply copper bars 6 are connected to the first power supply copper bar 5. The second power supply copper bars 6 serve as branch power supply copper bars of the first power supply copper bar 5 to supply power to the second functional modules 22. That is to say, the first power supply copper bar 5 supplies power to the first nodes 211 and the second power supply copper bars 6 simultaneously.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, the first power supply copper bar 5 is arranged parallel to the first water collector 3, and the second power supply copper bar 6 is arranged parallel to the second water collector 4. The number of the second power supply copper bars 6 is equal to and corresponds one by one to the number of the second water collector groups. The second power supply copper bars 6 supply power to multiple second nodes 221 in the corresponding second functional modules 22 simultaneously.

[0077] Specifically, in some embodiments, a first power supply plug is provided on the first node 211 for plugging into the first power supply copper bar, and a second power supply plug is provided on the second node 221 for plugging into the second power supply copper bar.

[0078] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, the second water collector group and the second power supply copper bars 6 are arranged in the first installation space. A first power supply module 213 is further provided in the first housing 212. The first power supply module 213 is small in size and is arranged opposite to the second water collector group and the second power supply copper bars 6, forming an avoidance groove 214 in the first housing 212 to accommodate the second water collector group and the second power supply copper bars 6. The setting of the avoidance groove 214 makes the inside of the cabinet more compact, further improves the utilization rate of the cabinet space, and increases the cabinet density.

[0079] The whole cabinet server provided by the embodiments of the present application arranges the first water collector 3 in the middle of the cabinet frame 1, with one on each of the left and right sides, and uses them as part of the cabinet frame 1, welding them together with the upper cross beam 11 and the lower cross beam 12 of the cabinet, replacing the side columns of the conventional cabinet; improving the cabinet density, strength, and reliability. Adopting a positive cross-interconnection design for the first nodes 211 and the second nodes 221, the first nodes 211 and the second nodes 221 are inserted into the cabinet space from the front and rear of the cabinet respectively, and signal interconnection is performed between the first connectors 2112 and the second connectors 2212 among the first nodes 211; eliminating the cost of the cable backplane, improving the operation and maintenance convenience, and improving the signal quality. Dividing the cabinet space into regions and performing modular design on the first nodes 211 and the second nodes, any number of first functional modules 21 and second functional modules 22 can be configured according to needs in the actual system; improving the flexibility of the system and meeting the needs of different customers.
