[0061] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the specific technical solution of the invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application, but are not used to limit the scope of the present application.
[0062] In the heat exchange process of gravity heat pipe, low pressure and low boiling point are required, and the low boiling point is conducive to phase change nucleate boiling heat exchange of the coolant.
[0063] Conventional gravity heat pipe heat exchange usually occurs in the evaporation section, insulation section, and condensation section; the heat pipe heat exchange efficiency and energy efficiency are high by utilizing structural characteristics such as pressure difference, gravity difference, and metal sponge in the inner layer of the heat pipe.
[0064] On the one hand, since gravity heat pipes generally have a symmetrical structure, the existence of an inclination angle is more conducive to the gravity reflux of the refrigerant, but it will destroy the symmetry of the internal flow and thus affect the heat transfer characteristics.
[0065] On the other hand, in the finite gravity heat pipe-liquid cooling box, single-phase natural convection, two-phase natural convection, liquid pool nucleate boiling, evaporation and condensation and other processes exist simultaneously. The gravity heat pipe cycle-heat conversion is unstable, and the heat exchange and temperature changes of the phase change system cannot be accurately controlled.
[0066] In practical applications, the filling rate = the volume of the charged refrigerant / the total volume of the gravity heat pipe. During the natural gravity phase change process, if the filling rate is too small, the pipe wall will heat up, the liquid pool will dry up, and the temperature and pressure will fluctuate greatly. If the filling rate is too large, it will easily cause the liquid-cooled phase change medium to enter the insulation section or even the condensation section, resulting in a decrease in the heat exchange effect. When the temperature and pressure changes can be controlled, the degree to which the filling rate is affected will be reduced.
[0067] Based on this, this embodiment proposes a pressure and temperature control method based on gravity heat pipes. The method can be applied to pressure and temperature control devices based on gravity heat pipes. The functions implemented by the method can be implemented by calling program codes by a processor in the pressure and temperature control device based on gravity heat pipes. Of course, the program codes can be stored in the memory of the processing device. It can be seen that the processing device at least includes a processor and a memory.

[0069] Step S101: During the operation of the temperature mode, a first temperature in the liquid cooling box of the control device is obtained in real time.
[0070] Step S102: determining within a first preset time period whether the first temperature deviates from the target temperature, and obtaining a first determination result.
[0071] Step S103: determining whether the control device maintains the temperature mode or switches to the pressure mode based on the first judgment result.
[0072] Step S104: When the control device maintains the temperature mode or switches to the pressure mode, the first pressure and the second temperature in the liquid cooling box in the control device are collected in real time.
[0073] Step S105: determining a control mode of the control device based on the first pressure and the second temperature; the control mode includes the temperature mode and / or the pressure mode.
[0074] It should be noted that the gravity heat pipe can be any gravity heat pipe and is not limited here. In practical applications, the gravity heat pipe can be simply referred to as a heat pipe.
[0075] The pressure and temperature control method based on the gravity heat pipe can be understood as temperature and pressure combined control.
[0076] The control device including the pressure mode and the temperature mode can be determined according to actual conditions and is not limited here. As an example, the device includes: a gravity heat pipe assembly and a liquid cooling box equipped with a sensor assembly, a gas circulation power assembly and a control assembly; one end of the liquid cooling box is connected to one end of the gravity heat pipe assembly through a first pipeline; the other end of the liquid cooling box is connected to the other end of the gravity heat pipe assembly through a second pipeline; a first switch assembly is arranged on the first pipeline; the power assembly is connected in parallel to the first switch assembly; an electronic expansion valve is arranged on the second pipeline; the electronic expansion valve is connected to the sensor assembly; the control assembly is respectively connected to the gravity heat pipe assembly, the sensor assembly and the power assembly; the sensor assembly is used to collect the first temperature value in the liquid cooling box and when the first switch assembly is in the on state The gravity heat pipe assembly is started to perform phase change heat transfer, and the pressure in the liquid cooling box at different time points is monitored; the electronic expansion valve is used to control its own valve to open wider when the temperature value is greater than the temperature setting value, so as to increase the flow rate between the gravity heat pipe assembly and the liquid cooling box; and to control its own valve to open narrower when the temperature value is less than or equal to the temperature setting value, so as to reduce the flow rate between the gravity heat pipe assembly and the liquid cooling box; the control component is used to control the first switch component to be in an off state when the pressure changes; and to determine the change in the volume of the gas in the liquid cooling box based on the pressure at different time points, and control the operation of the power component according to the change in the volume of the gas in the liquid cooling box to adjust the change in pressure.
[0077] In step S101, the temperature mode operation can be understood as temperature mode control, mainly considering that the temperature mode operation has better energy efficiency.
[0078] The real-time acquisition of the first temperature in the liquid cooling box in the control device can be understood as real-time acquisition of the first temperature in the liquid cooling box in the control device.
[0079] In step S102, the first preset time can be determined according to actual conditions and is not limited here. As an example, the first preset time can be 30 seconds, 2 minutes, or 3 minutes.
[0080] The target temperature can be determined according to actual conditions and is not limited here. As an example, the target temperature can be understood as a temperature setting value. In practical applications, the temperature setting value can be referred to as a setting value.
[0081] The specific judgment process in the first judgment result of judging the range of the first temperature deviating from the target temperature within the first preset time and obtaining the first judgment result can be determined according to actual conditions, and is not limited here. As an example, judging the range of the first temperature deviating from the target temperature within the first preset time and obtaining the first judgment result can be judging the range of the first temperature deviating from the target temperature within the first preset time and obtaining a first judgment result characterizing that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature to a large extent or characterizing that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature to a small extent. Among them, the characterizing that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature to a large extent or the characterizing that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature to a small extent can be determined according to actual conditions, and is not limited here. As an example, the characterizing that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature to a large extent can be characterizing that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature to a greater extent than or equal to 3 degrees; the characterizing that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature to a small extent can be characterizing that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature to a less extent than 3 degrees.
[0082] In practical applications, as an example, within 30 seconds, the range degree of deviation of the first temperature from the target temperature exceeds 3 degrees on both sides, which can be understood as indicating that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature to a large extent, and the range degree of deviation of the first temperature from the target temperature exceeds 3 degrees on both sides, which can be recorded as >3°<, 30 seconds. Within 3 minutes, the range degree of deviation of the first temperature from the target temperature exceeds 1 degree on both sides, which can be understood as indicating that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature to a small extent, and the range degree of deviation of the first temperature from the target temperature exceeds 1 degree on both sides, which can be recorded as >1<, 3 minutes. Within 2 minutes, the range degree of deviation of the first temperature from the target temperature exceeds 2 degrees on both sides, which can be understood as indicating that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature to a small extent, and the range degree of deviation of the first temperature from the target temperature exceeds 2 degrees on both sides, which can be recorded as >2<, 2 minutes.
[0083] In step S103, the specific determination process of determining whether the control device maintains the temperature mode or switches to the pressure mode based on the first judgment result can be determined according to actual conditions and is not limited here. As an example, determining whether the control device maintains the temperature mode or switches to the pressure mode based on the first judgment result may include: when the first judgment result indicates that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature to a large extent, determining that the control device switches from the temperature mode to the pressure mode; when the first judgment result indicates that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature to a small extent, determining that the control device maintains the temperature mode.
[0084] In step S104, the control mode includes the temperature mode and / or the pressure mode, which can be understood as the control mode includes the temperature mode and the pressure mode; the control mode includes the temperature mode; the control mode includes the pressure mode.
[0085] The specific determination process in determining the control mode of the control device based on the first pressure and the second temperature can be determined according to actual conditions and is not limited here. As an example, the control mode includes a first control mode and a second control mode; the first control mode includes the temperature mode or the pressure mode; the second control mode includes the temperature mode and / or the pressure mode; the control mode of the control device determined based on the first pressure and the second temperature may include determining the first control mode of the control device according to the first pressure and the second temperature; re-collecting the first pressure and the second temperature in the liquid cooling box of the control device in real time according to the first control mode; and determining the second control mode of the control device based on the first control mode, the re-collected first pressure, and the re-collected second temperature.
[0086] In this embodiment, during the operation of the temperature mode, the first temperature in the liquid cooling box is obtained in real time; the range in which the first temperature deviates from the target temperature is determined within the first preset time, and then the control device is determined to maintain the temperature mode or switch to the pressure mode; the first pressure and the second temperature in the liquid cooling box in the control device are then collected in real time; based on the first pressure and the second temperature, a control method including a temperature mode and / or a pressure mode is determined; and the temperature and pressure in the heat exchange of the phase change system are accurately controlled.

[0088] When the first judgment result indicates that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature to a large extent, determining that the control device is switched from the temperature mode to the pressure mode;
[0089] When the first judgment result indicates that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature by a small degree, it is determined that the control device maintains the temperature mode.
[0090] In this embodiment, the range degree of the first temperature deviation from the target temperature is large or the range degree of the first temperature deviation from the target temperature is small can be determined according to actual conditions, and is not limited here. As an example, the range degree of the first temperature deviation from the target temperature is large can be greater than or equal to 3 degrees; the range degree of the first temperature deviation from the target temperature is small can be less than 3 degrees.
[0091] In practical applications, as an example, within 30 seconds, if the first temperature deviates from the target temperature by more than 3 degrees on both sides, it can be understood that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature by a large degree, and the first temperature deviates from the target temperature by more than 3 degrees on both sides, which can be recorded as >3°<, 30 seconds, that is, the first judgment result represents >3°<, 30 seconds, and it is determined that the control device switches from the temperature mode to the pressure mode, which can also be understood as opening the pressure control from the temperature mode. Within 3 minutes, if the first temperature deviates from the target temperature by more than 1 degree on both sides, it can be understood that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature by a small degree, and the first temperature deviates from the target temperature by more than 1 degree on both sides, which can be recorded as >1<, 3 minutes. Within 2 minutes, the first temperature deviates from the target temperature by more than 2 degrees on both sides, which can be understood as indicating that the first temperature deviates from the target temperature to a small extent. The first temperature deviates from the target temperature by more than 2 degrees on both sides, which can be recorded as >2<, 2 minutes, that is, in the first judgment result, it is represented by >1<, 3 minutes, or >2<, 2 minutes, determining that the control device maintains the temperature mode, which can also be understood as entering the temperature mode by maintaining the temperature mode.

[0095] The second control mode of the control device is determined based on the first control mode, the re-collected first pressure, and the re-collected second temperature.
[0096] In this embodiment, the specific determination process in determining the first control mode of the control device according to the first pressure and the second temperature can be determined according to actual conditions and is not limited here. As an example, determining the first control mode of the control device according to the first pressure and the second temperature may include obtaining the initial volume of the gas in the liquid cooling box in the control device; determining the first volume change of the gas in the liquid cooling box in the control device based on the initial volume, the first pressure and the second temperature; determining the first change of the first pressure and the second change of the second temperature and the third temperature after the change within the second preset time; when the first volume change, the first change, the second pressure, the second change and the third temperature meet the first preset condition, determining the control mode of the control device to be the pressure mode; when the first volume change, the first change, the second pressure, the second change and the third temperature meet the second preset condition, determining the control mode of the control device to be the temperature mode.
[0097] Re-collecting the first pressure and second temperature in the liquid cooling box in the control device in real time according to the first control mode can be understood as the control mode of the control device being the pressure mode or the temperature mode to re-collect the first pressure and second temperature in the liquid cooling box in the control device in real time.
[0098] The specific determination process of determining the second control mode of the control device based on the first control mode, the re-collected first pressure and the re-collected second temperature can be determined according to actual conditions and is not limited here. As an example, the determination of the second control mode of the control device based on the first control mode, the re-collected first pressure and the re-collected second temperature may include, when the first control mode is the pressure mode, determining the second volume change in the liquid cooling box and the third change of the second temperature in two consecutive time periods based on the re-collected first pressure and the re-collected second temperature; when the second volume change and the third change meet the third preset condition, determining that the second control mode is the temperature mode and the pressure mode; when the second volume change and the third change meet the fourth preset condition, determining that the second control mode is the pressure mode.

[0104] When the first volume change, the first change, the second pressure, the second change and the third temperature satisfy a second preset condition, the control mode of the control device is determined to be the temperature mode.
[0105] In this embodiment, the initial volume, the first pressure, the second temperature and the first volume change can all be determined based on actual conditions and are not limited here.

[0106] The specific determination process of determining the first volume change of the gas in the liquid cooling box in the control device based on the initial volume, the first pressure and the second temperature can be determined according to actual conditions, and is not limited here. As an example, the first volume change of the gas in the liquid cooling box in the control device based on the initial volume, the first pressure and the second temperature can refer to the following formula (1):
[0107]
[0108] In formula (1), ΔV is the increased gas volume caused by the phase change of the cooling medium, in L;

[0173] The control component 505 can be determined according to actual conditions, and is not limited here. As an example, the control component 505 can include a controller. In actual applications, the controller can be a centralized procurement controller.

[0175] The control component 505 is respectively connected to the gravity heat pipe component 501, the sensor component 502, and the power component 504.

[0176] When the first switch assembly 506 is in the on state, starting the gravity heat pipe assembly 501 to perform phase change heat transfer can be understood as turning on the first switch assembly 506 and the gravity heat pipe assembly 501 to perform gravity heat pipe phase change heat transfer. As an example, the first switch assembly 506 can be an electric ball valve; the gravity heat pipe assembly 501 can include a fan and a gravity heat pipe. Turning on the first switch assembly 506 and the gravity heat pipe assembly 501 to perform gravity heat pipe phase change heat transfer can be understood as turning on the electric ball valve, the fan and the gravity heat pipe to perform gravity heat pipe phase change heat transfer.
[0177] The electronic expansion valve 507 can be determined according to actual conditions and is not limited here. As an example, the electronic expansion valve 504 can be a thermal expansion valve.
[0178] Monitor the pressure at different time points in the liquid cooling box 503; wherein the different time points can be determined according to actual conditions and are not limited here.

[0179] When the temperature value is greater than the temperature setting value, the valve of the electronic expansion valve 507 is controlled to open wide, and the flow rate between the gravity heat pipe assembly 501 and the liquid cooling box 503 is increased. It can be understood that when the temperature value is greater than the temperature setting value, the electronic expansion valve 507 is controlled to open wide, and the flow rate between the gravity heat pipe assembly 501 and the liquid cooling box 503 is increased. Among them, the temperature setting value can be determined according to actual conditions and is not limited here. In practical applications, the temperature setting value can be referred to as the setting value. As an example, when the electronic expansion valve 507 is a thermal expansion valve, when the temperature value is greater than the temperature setting value, the electronic expansion valve 507 is controlled to open wide, and the flow rate between the gravity heat pipe assembly 501 and the liquid cooling box 503 can be controlled to open wide when the temperature value is greater than the temperature setting value, and the flow rate between the gravity heat pipe assembly 501 and the liquid cooling box 503 is increased. In practical applications, when the temperature value collected by the temperature sensor is greater than the setting value, the thermal expansion valve automatically adjusts a larger flow rate.
[0180] When the temperature value is less than or equal to the temperature setting value, controlling the valve opening of the electronic expansion valve 507 to reduce the flow rate between the gravity heat pipe assembly 501 and the liquid cooling box 503 can be understood as when the temperature value is less than or equal to the temperature setting value, controlling the valve opening of the electronic expansion valve 507 to reduce the flow rate between the gravity heat pipe assembly 501 and the liquid cooling box 503. Among them, the temperature setting value can be determined according to actual conditions and is not limited here. In practical applications, the temperature setting value can be referred to as the setting value. As an example, when the electronic expansion valve 507 is a thermal expansion valve, when the temperature value is less than or equal to the temperature setting value, controlling the valve opening of the electronic expansion valve 507 to reduce the flow rate between the gravity heat pipe assembly 501 and the liquid cooling box 503 can be when the temperature value is less than or equal to the temperature setting value, controlling the valve opening of the thermal expansion valve to reduce the flow rate between the gravity heat pipe assembly 501 and the liquid cooling box 503. In practical applications, when the temperature value collected by the temperature sensor is less than or equal to the set value, the thermal expansion valve automatically adjusts to a smaller flow rate.
[0181] In practical applications, as an example, if the collected temperature value is greater than the set value, the thermal expansion valve automatically adjusts a larger flow rate, and if the collected temperature value is less than the set value, the thermal expansion valve automatically adjusts a smaller flow rate, thereby controlling the phase change liquid cooler through a simple control system.
[0182] In the case where the pressure changes, controlling the first switch component 506 to be in an off state can be understood as closing the first switch component 506 in the case where the pressure changes.
[0183] The specific determination process of determining the change in the volume of gas in the liquid cooling box 503 based on the pressure at different time points can be determined according to actual conditions, and is not limited here. As an example, the different time points may include at least a first time point and a second time point, and the determination of the change in the volume of gas in the liquid cooling box 503 based on the pressure at different time points may be determining the change in the volume of gas in the liquid cooling box 503 based on the value of the first pressure and the value of the second pressure; the determination of the change in the volume of gas in the liquid cooling box 503 based on the value of the first pressure and the value of the second pressure may be determined by a preset algorithm based on the value of the first pressure and the value of the second pressure; wherein the preset algorithm can be determined according to actual conditions, and is not limited here. As an example, the preset algorithm may refer to the previous formula (1).
[0184] In formula (1), ΔV is the increased gas volume caused by the phase change of the cooling medium, in L;
[0185] P1: collection time point 1, the pressure in the immersion tank, unit kap;
[0186] V1: the volume of gas in the immersion cabinet at the sampling time point 1, in L;
[0187] n: amount of substance, unit: moL;
[0188] R: universal gas constant, 8.31 J / (mol·K);
[0189] r: the heat absorbed by a unit mass of a substance during vaporization, in J / kg;
[0190] c: specific heat capacity of cooling medium, unit: kJ / kg·K;
[0191] P2: collection time point 2, the pressure in the immersion tank, unit kap;
[0192] In formula (1), the initial state quantities except P2 are all known quantities, and when the pressure changes, the change in gas volume during the phase change process can be calculated. That is, the change in gas volume in the liquid cooling box 503 is determined based on the pressure at different time points.
[0193] The power component 504 may include a gas circulation pump; controlling the power component 504 to operate according to the change in the gas volume in the liquid cooling box 503 to adjust the pressure change can be understood as controlling the gas circulation pump to operate according to the change in the gas volume in the liquid cooling box 503 to adjust the pressure change.
[0194] In practical applications, when the first switch component 506 is an electric ball valve, the power component 504 is a gas circulation pump, the sensor component 502 is a pressure sensor, and the gravity heat pipe component 501 may include a fan and a gravity heat pipe, the electric ball valve, the fan and the gravity heat pipe can be opened in the normal mode to perform phase change heat transfer of the gravity heat pipe. The pressure at different time points in the liquid cooling box 503 is monitored by a pressure sensor, for example, the pressure at the first time point is collected, and the pressure at the second time point is collected; wherein the first time point and the second time point can be determined according to actual conditions, and are not limited here. As an example, the first time point can be recorded as time point ① or time point 1; the second time point can be recorded as time point ② or time point 2. The pressure corresponding to the first time point can be recorded as P1; the pressure corresponding to the second time point can be recorded as P2. When the pressure at the first time point is different from the pressure at the second time point, the electric ball valve is closed, and the change in the volume of the gas in the liquid cooling box 503 is calculated by using the vaporization latent heat calculation equation, the ideal gas equation, and the heat exchange calculation equation, with reference to the previous formula (1). In the pressure control mode, the gas circulation pump is controlled to circulate to adjust the pressure change.
[0195] In the embodiment of the present application, a power component for gas circulation is added to the device, and a first switch component is set on the first pipeline. When the sensor component monitors the pressure change at different time points in the liquid cooling box, the control component controls the first switch component to be in a disconnected state; and the change in the volume of the gas in the liquid cooling box is determined based on the pressure at different time points, and the power component is controlled to work according to the change in the volume of the gas in the liquid cooling box to adjust the change in the pressure; that is, the pressure change in the heat exchange of the phase change system is accurately controlled. And the temperature value in the liquid cooling box is collected by the temperature sensor. When the temperature value is greater than the temperature setting value, the valve of the thermal expansion valve is controlled to open wider to automatically adjust a larger flow rate; when the temperature value is less than or equal to the temperature setting value, the valve of the thermal expansion valve is controlled to open narrower to automatically adjust a smaller flow rate. That is, the temperature in the heat exchange of the phase change system is accurately controlled.
