[0034] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0036] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0037] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagram. When describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, for the sake of convenience, the cross-sectional diagrams showing the device structure will not be partially enlarged according to the general scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.

[0038] Example 1, reference Figure 1-2 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a liquid immersion cooling cabinet, including a cooling system 105 to ensure the normal operation and maintenance of the cabinet body 101, and to ensure efficient heat dissipation and long-term stable operation of the internal electronic equipment.

[0039] Specifically, the fixing assembly 100 includes a cabinet body 101, a cooling system 105 disposed inside the cabinet body 101, a cover 102 is installed on the top of the cabinet body 101, and the cover 102 is rotatably connected to the cabinet body 101 through a rotating shaft 103. The cooling system 105 is located inside the cabinet body 101 and is responsible for circulating the coolant to absorb the heat generated by the electronic equipment 104. The coolant is usually a special non-conductive liquid to ensure that even if the electronic equipment is completely immersed in the coolant, a short circuit will not occur. The pump in the cooling system 105 draws the coolant from the bottom, passes through the surface of the electronic equipment 104, absorbs the heat, and then dissipates the heat to the external environment through the cooler. Finally, the cooled liquid returns to the bottom of the cabinet body 101, forming a closed-loop cooling cycle.

[0040] Furthermore, the fixing component 100 includes an electronic device 104 arranged inside the cabinet body 101. The four side walls of the cabinet body 101 are all removable and are fixed to the cabinet frame through a snap-on connection, thereby ensuring the sealing of the cabinet and preventing the entry of external dust and moisture, while facilitating maintenance and inspection.

[0041] Operation process: Confirm that the coolant level inside the cabinet body 101 is within the safe range, and add coolant if necessary. Check whether the various components of the cooling system 105 are working properly, including the pump, cooler and temperature sensor. The operating status of the internal electronic equipment can be observed through the transparent observation window 203f, or the cover 102 can be opened to directly view the operating status of the internal electronic equipment. Check whether the equipment has any abnormalities, such as overheating, water leakage, etc. If necessary, clean or replace the equipment. Check the cleanliness of the coolant. If there are impurities or contaminants, the coolant should be replaced in time. Confirm the coolant level and add coolant to the safe range if necessary.

[0042] Example 2, reference Figure 1 to Figure 4 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the lifting member 203 is used to realize the rapid opening and closing of the cover body 102.

[0043] Specifically, the opening and closing assembly 200 includes a lock 201 arranged at the top of the cover body 102, a hook 202 is installed at the end of the lock 201, the hook 202 is rotatably connected to the cover body 102, and lifting members 203 are installed on the inner walls on both sides of the cover body 102. The lifting members 203 are used to drive the cover body 102 to open and close quickly, which significantly reduces the opening time.

[0044] Furthermore, the opening and closing assembly 200 further includes a spring 204 disposed between the cover body 102 and the hook 202 , and the spring 204 drives the hook 202 to be clamped in the clamping slot 205 on the cabinet body 101 .

[0045] Furthermore, the lifting member 203 includes telescopic members 203 a arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the cover body 102 , a sliding block 203 b is arranged at one end of the hook 202 , and a pull rope 203 c is arranged between the sliding block 203 b and the hook 202 .

[0046] Furthermore, the lifting member 203 further includes a sliding block 203d disposed at one end of the pull rope 203c away from the sliding block 203b, and the sliding block 203d is located at the end a when the cover 102 is in the open state.

[0047] Furthermore, the pull rope 203c is in a stretched state, and the spring 204 is compressed; when the cover 102 rotates to the closed state, the sliding block 203d slides toward the end b, and the hook 202 is engaged in the slot 205 under the resetting action of the spring 204.

[0048] The rest of the structure is the same as that of Example 1.

[0049] Operation process: Observe the operating status of the internal electronic equipment through the transparent observation window 203f. Press the control button 203e on the cabinet body 101. After the controller receives the signal, the telescopic member 203a begins to telescope, and the telescopic action of the telescopic rod 203a drives the sliding block 203d to slide from the b end to the a end. During the movement of the sliding block 203d, the pull rope 203c gradually relaxes, the spring 204 returns to its original state, and the driving hook 202 is disengaged from the card slot 205, and the cover body 102 is unlocked. If the cover body 102 needs to be opened manually, the key can be inserted into the lock 201 and rotated to drive the hook 202 to disengage from the card slot 205 to cancel the fixation of the cover body 102, and then the cover body 102 is gently lifted to rotate the shaft 103 until the cover body 102 is fully opened.

[0050] Example 3, reference Figure 1 to Figure 5 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the above embodiments in that the cabinet cover 102 can be opened and closed by combining an electric push cylinder and a manual lock.

[0051] Specifically, a button 203e for controlling the telescopic part 203a is provided on the cabinet body 101. The button 203e is electrically connected to the controller therein, and the telescopic part 203a is also electrically connected to the controller. The button 203e can control the telescopic part 203a to extend and retract so that the sliding block 203d slides, thereby realizing the disengagement of the hook 202 from the slot 205 and completing automatic unlocking.

[0052] Furthermore, the telescopic member 203a and the manually operated lock member 201 can be used simultaneously to realize the opening and closing of the cover 102, and the lock member 201 is used to manually open the cover 102 in an emergency or when the automatic system fails.

[0053] Furthermore, the telescopic member 203 a is an electric push cylinder, and its telescopic action is controlled by a controller to realize automatic opening and closing of the cover body 102 .

[0054] Furthermore, a transparent observation window 203 f is provided on the cover 102 to facilitate checking the operating status of the equipment in the cabinet body 101 .

[0055] The rest of the structure is the same as that of Example 2.

[0056] Operation process: You can first observe the operating status of the internal electronic equipment through the transparent observation window 203f, and then press the control button 203e on the cabinet body 101. After the controller receives the signal, the telescopic member 203a begins to telescope, and the telescopic action of the telescopic rod 203a drives the sliding block 203d to slide from the b end to the a end. During the movement of the sliding block 203d, the pull rope 203c gradually relaxes, the spring 204 returns to its original state, and the driving hook 202 is disengaged from the card slot 205, and the cover 102 is unlocked. If you need to manually open the cover 102, insert the key into the lock 201 and rotate it to drive the hook 202 to disengage from the card slot 205 to cancel the fixation of the cover 102, and then you can gently lift the cover 102 to rotate its shaft 103 until the cover 102 is fully opened. During the opening process of the cover 102, pay attention to smooth operation to avoid sudden force that may cause damage to the equipment. After opening the cover 102, directly check the operating status of the internal electronic equipment. Check whether the equipment is abnormal, such as overheating, water leakage, etc. If necessary, clean or replace the equipment. Check the cleanliness of the coolant. If there are impurities or contaminants, replace the coolant in time. Confirm the coolant level and add coolant to a safe range if necessary.

[0057] Manual closing: Slowly lower the cover 102 to ensure that the cover 102 is aligned with the cabinet body 101. Then rotate the hook 202 to move into the slot 205.

[0058] Automatic locking: When the cover 102 needs to be closed, the button 203e is pressed, and the controller receives a signal to control the telescopic member 203a to retract. The sliding block 203d slides from end a to end b under the action of the telescopic member 203a, and the pull rope is gradually tightened. When the sliding block reaches end b, the hook 202 is clamped in the clamping groove 205 under the action of the spring 204, and the cover 102 is locked.

[0059] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
