[0066] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0067] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0068] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The server cabinet provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes a cabinet body 10, a manifold assembly 20 and a quick connector 30.

[0069] The cabinet 10 is provided with an installation opening 11, and the cabinet 10 has a server installation chamber 12 connected to the installation opening 11. A power supply module installation chamber 13 is provided on the side of the server installation chamber 12 away from the installation opening 11, and the power supply module installation chamber 13 is connected to the server installation chamber 12.

[0070] The manifold assembly 20 is connected to the cabinet 10 . The manifold assembly 20 is spaced apart from the power supply module installation chamber 13 . The manifold assembly 20 is disposed in a region close to the installation opening 11 .

[0071] Among them, the installation port 11 is a part of the server installation chamber 12, and is used for the server 110 to be installed into the server installation chamber 12, that is, the installation port 11 is the opening of the server installation chamber 12. It can be considered that, based on the existence of the installation port 11, the server installation chamber 12 is an open cavity, and the open cavity is connected to the outside of the cabinet 10 through the installation port 11.

[0072] The so-called area near the installation opening 11 refers to a partial area of ​​the server installation chamber 12 located inside the installation opening 11. The area (the area near the installation opening 11) may include a partial space of the server installation chamber 12, and may also include an area located outside the server installation chamber 12 and inside the cabinet 10. In view of the fact that the area (the area near the installation opening 11) only includes a partial space of the server installation chamber 12, it should be pointed out that the area should not extend too long in the depth direction of the cabinet 10. Specifically, it can be: based on the installation opening 11, extend to the inside of the cabinet 10 to 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of the depth direction of the server installation chamber 12. Here, both the depth direction of the cabinet 10 and the depth direction of the server installation chamber 12 are Figure 2 The Y-axis direction is the first direction described later. Obviously, when the area near the installation opening 11 only includes a partial space of the server installation chamber 12, the manifold assembly 20 is arranged in the area near the installation opening 11, and the existence of the manifold assembly 20 should not affect the server entering and moving out of the server installation chamber 12 through the installation opening 11, that is, there should be no position interference between the manifold assembly 20 and the server.

[0073] If the area near the installation opening 11 includes an area outside the server installation chamber 12 and inside the cabinet 10, the manifold assembly 20 can be arranged outside the server installation chamber 12, and there will be no position interference between the manifold assembly 20 and the server 110. Here, the area near the installation opening 11 should also not extend too long in the depth direction (first direction) of the cabinet 10, and can also specifically extend to the inside of the cabinet 10 to 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of the depth direction of the server installation chamber 12. In this way, it can be ensured that the manifold assembly 20 is arranged near the installation opening 11 and is located in the area near the installation opening 11.

[0074] The quick connector 30 is connected to a side of the manifold assembly 20 that is away from the power supply module installation chamber 13 . The quick connector 30 is used to connect the manifold assembly 20 and the corresponding server 110 .

[0075] It should be noted that the server installation chamber 12 is only a chamber for installing the server 110, and the power supply module installation chamber 13 is only a chamber for installing the power supply module 120. The power supply module 120 is used to supply power to the server 110. The manifold assembly 20 and the quick connector 30 are both located on the outside of the server installation chamber 12. That is, in addition to the server installation chamber 12 and the power supply module installation chamber 13, the cabinet 10 also has additional space for installing the manifold assembly 20 and the quick connector 30.

[0076] During installation, first install the power supply module 120 in the power supply module installation chamber 13, then install the male connector of the quick connector 30 directly on the manifold assembly 20, then fix the manifold assembly 20 in the cabinet, and make the manifold assembly 20 located in the area close to the installation port 11, finally install the server 110 into the server installation chamber 12 and dock with the power supply module 120 in the power supply module installation chamber 13, and the female connector of the quick connector 30 pre-installed on the server 110 can be connected to the male connector of the quick connector 30 on the manifold assembly 20.

[0077] It should be noted that after the manifold assembly 20 is installed, the installation of the server 110 will not interfere with the manifold assembly 20 fixed in the cabinet 10, so it is easy to push the server 110 from the outside of the cabinet 10 into the server installation chamber 12.

[0078] Compared with the traditional setting method, the server cabinet provided by the embodiment of the present invention has a manifold assembly 20 in the cabinet 10 and a quick connector 30 for connecting the manifold assembly 20 and the corresponding server 110 arranged in the area of ​​the cabinet 10 close to the installation port 11. On the one hand, visualization is achieved, which facilitates operation and maintenance personnel to quickly locate which server 110 node or quick connector 30 has a leak by visual inspection. On the other hand, maintainability is achieved. During maintenance, the quick connector 30 located on the side of the manifold assembly 20 away from the power supply module installation chamber 13 can be easily removed and replaced without removing all server 110 nodes, which is very convenient for maintenance.

[0079] In addition, since the power supply module 120 is arranged in the cabinet 10 on the side of the server installation chamber 12 away from the installation port 11, and the manifold assembly 20 is spaced apart from the power supply module 120, the liquid cooling water circuit and power supply line of the server 110 are spaced apart in space, thereby achieving the effect of separating water and electricity, which is beneficial to ensure the safe operation of the server 110 and facilitates maintenance and management.

[0080] It should be noted that the above-mentioned quick connector 30 is a quick connector 30 that adopts a blind plugging method, and the blind plugging connector is usually composed of a male connector and a female connector. The male connector includes a male body, a male stop ring, a male base, a male connector seat and a male valve device, and the female connector includes a female body and a female valve device. The blind plugging quick connector 30 can maintain sealing and no leakage in both the plugged in and disconnected states.

[0081] The blind-plug quick connector 30 described above can realize automatic docking and sealing between the corresponding manifold assembly 20 and the server 110 without visual assistance, thereby ensuring the liquid cooling effect of the coolant on the server 110 .

[0082] Please also read Figure 4 The server installation chamber 12 includes a plurality of installation partitions 121 distributed along the height direction of the cabinet 10 , and any installation partition 121 is used to install at least two servers 110 distributed along the height direction of the cabinet 10 .

[0083] Specifically, the server installation chamber 12 includes four installation partitions 121 distributed along the height direction of the cabinet 10 , each installation partition 121 can accommodate five server 110 nodes, and the server 110 can be installed into the corresponding installation partition 121 from the installation port 11 of the cabinet 10 .

[0084] In some embodiments, the manifold assembly 20 includes a first manifold 21 and a plurality of second manifolds 22 distributed along the height direction of the cabinet 10, each second manifold 22 is connected to the first manifold 21, and the second manifold 22 is arranged on the side of the first manifold 21 away from the power supply module installation chamber 13, and the second manifold 22 and the installation partition 121 are arranged one by one.

[0085] It should be noted that the so-called "corresponding setting" here only reflects the logical corresponding relationship, rather than the "positional relationship", that is, the second manifold 22 and the installation partition 121 are set one-to-one, not one-to-many, or many-to-one.

[0086] It can be seen that the second sub-manifold 22 is used as a sub-control sub-manifold for controlling the distribution and collection of cooling liquid in the server 110 in a single installation partition 121 inside the cabinet 10. Each second sub-manifold 22 is connected to the first sub-manifold 21, and each server 110 in the installation partition 121 is connected to the corresponding second sub-manifold 22 through a quick connector 30; the first sub-manifold 21 is used as a master control sub-manifold for controlling the distribution and collection of cooling liquid in each second sub-manifold 22.

[0087] The following takes the example that the installation opening 11 , the server installation chamber 12 and the power supply module installation chamber 13 are arranged in sequence along the first direction to specifically describe the structures of the first manifold 21 and the second manifold 22 .

[0088] like Figure 2 As shown, the first water divider 21 includes a first water divider 211 and a first water collector 212. The first water divider 211, the server installation chamber 12 and the first water collector 212 are arranged in sequence along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, that is, the first water divider 211 and the first water collector 212 are respectively arranged at both ends of the server installation chamber 12 along the second direction; the second water divider 22 includes a second water divider 221 and a second water collector 222. The second water divider 221, the server installation chamber 12 and the second water collector 222 are arranged in sequence along the second direction, that is, the second water divider 221 and the second water collector 222 are respectively arranged at both ends of the server installation chamber 12 along the second direction, and the first water divider 211 and the second water divider 221 are both located at one end of the server installation chamber 12 in the second direction (such as Figure 2 The first water collector 212 and the second water collector 222 are both located at the other end of the server installation chamber 12 in the second direction (as shown in FIG. Figure 2 The second water divider 221 is located on the side of the first water divider 211 away from the power supply module installation chamber 13, and the second water collector 222 is located on the side of the first water collector 212 away from the power supply module installation chamber 13.

[0089] It should be noted that the first direction is as follows Figure 2 The Y-axis direction shown in FIG. 1 is the second direction. Figure 2 The X-axis direction is shown.

[0090] Please also read Figure 5 The first water distributor 211 is provided with a first liquid inlet 2111 and a plurality of first liquid outlets 2112, the second water distributor 221 is provided with a second liquid inlet 2211 and a plurality of second liquid outlets 2212, the first water collector 212 is provided with a third liquid outlet 2121 and a plurality of third liquid inlets 2122, and the second water collector 222 is provided with a fourth liquid outlet 2221 and a plurality of fourth liquid inlets 2222.

[0091] That is to say, the first water distributor 211 and the second water distributor 221 are both one-inlet and multiple-outlet water distributors, the number of liquid outlets of the first water distributor 211 is determined by the number of installation partitions 121 inside the cabinet 10, and the number of liquid outlets of the second water distributor 221 is determined by the number of servers 110 inside the installation partitions 121; the first water collector 212 and the second water collector 222 are both one-inlet and multiple-inlet water collectors, the number of liquid inlets of the second water collector 222 is determined by the number of installation partitions 121 inside the cabinet 10, and the number of liquid inlets of the first water collector 212 is determined by the number of installation partitions 121 inside the cabinet 10.

[0092] Specifically, the first liquid inlet 2111 is used to connect to the liquid supply pipeline 43 extending into the cabinet 10, the first liquid outlet 2112 and the second liquid inlet 2211 are connected via the liquid inlet pipeline 23, and the second liquid outlet 2212 is used to connect to the liquid inlet of the server 110 in the corresponding installation partition 121 via the quick connector 30; the fourth liquid inlet 2222 is used to connect to the liquid outlet of the server 110 in the corresponding installation partition 121 via the quick connector 30, the fourth liquid outlet 2221 and the third liquid inlet 2122 are connected via the liquid outlet pipeline 24, and the third liquid outlet 2121 is used to connect to the liquid collection pipeline 44 extending into the cabinet 10.

[0093] That is to say, a liquid inlet pipeline 23 is provided between any second water distributor 221 and the first water distributor 211, and a liquid outlet pipeline 24 is provided between any second water collector 222 and the first water collector 212, so that the coolant in the first water distributor 211 is distributed to the corresponding second water distributor 221 through the corresponding liquid inlet pipeline 23, and the coolant in the second water collector 222 is collected to the first water collector 212 through the corresponding liquid outlet pipeline 24.

[0094] The liquid inlet pipeline 23 and the liquid outlet pipeline 24 both extend along the first direction.

[0095] In this way, the coolant supplied by the liquid supply pipeline 43 is first distributed to the second water distributor 221 through the first water distributor 211, and then enters the corresponding server 110 through the quick connector 30. The coolant after completing the heat dissipation of the server 110 flows out to the liquid collecting pipeline 44 through the second water collector 222 and the first water collector 212 successively, thereby forming a cooling cycle for the server 110.

[0096] Please also read Figure 7 In order to facilitate the control of the cooling liquid on and off of the server 110 in each installation partition 121, a first control valve 50 is provided on the liquid inlet pipeline 23 and the liquid outlet pipeline 24. The first control valve 50 on the liquid inlet pipeline 23 is used to control the on and off of the liquid inlet pipeline 23, and the first control valve 50 on the liquid outlet pipeline 24 is used to control the on and off of the liquid outlet pipeline 24.

[0097] Of course, according to actual needs, in addition to the split design of the water distributor (the water distributor is used to realize the distribution of the cooling liquid) and the water collector (the water collector is used to realize the collection of the cooling liquid), the first water distributor 21 and the second water distributor 22 may also adopt an integrated structure. For example, the first water distributor 21 includes a first water distributor 211 and a first water collector 212 of an integrated structure, and the first water distributor 211 and the first water collector 212 of the integrated structure can be arranged at the same end of the server installation chamber 12 along the second direction. The second water distributor 22 includes a second water distributor 221 and a second water collector 222 of an integrated structure, and the second water distributor 221 and the second water collector 222 of the integrated structure can be arranged at the same end of the server installation chamber 12 along the second direction.

[0098] Please also read Figure 6 Taking the connection between the first water distributor 211 and the liquid inlet pipeline 23 as an example, the first liquid outlet 2112 of the first water distributor 211 is provided with a water distributor joint 25, and the water distributor joint 25 includes a joint outer wall 251 and a connecting wall 252 integrally arranged with the joint outer wall 251. There is a accommodating space 253 between the joint outer wall 251 and the connecting wall 252. The accommodating space 253 is in a circular ring shape, and the liquid inlet pipeline 23 extends into the accommodating space 253 to realize the connection between the liquid inlet pipeline 23 and the first water distributor 211.

[0099] Specifically, the end of the connecting wall 252 away from the first liquid outlet 2112 is closer to the second liquid inlet 2211 than the end of the connector outer wall 251 away from the first liquid outlet 2112, or the extension length of the end of the connecting wall 252 away from the first liquid outlet 2112 is greater than the extension length of the end of the connector outer wall 251 away from the first liquid outlet 2112. In addition, a handle 26 is rotatably provided at the end of the connector outer wall 251 away from the first liquid outlet 2112, and the handle 26 rotates between a release position and a squeeze position. The handle 26 is configured to squeeze the liquid inlet pipeline 23 in the process of rotating from the release position to the squeeze position, so that the liquid inlet pipeline 23 and the connecting wall 252 fit tightly. Figure 6 As shown, when the handle 26 is in the current position (squeezing position), the liquid inlet pipeline 23 is squeezed so that the liquid inlet pipeline 23 and the connecting wall 252 fit tightly, ensuring that the liquid inlet pipeline 23 and the first water distributor 211 are connected.

[0100] Please also read Fig.11 The server cabinet also includes a control module 70, which is communicatively connected to each first control valve 50, the quick connector 30 and the server 110 to control the corresponding first control valve 50 to disconnect when a coolant leak occurs in the corresponding quick connector 30 or the server 110.

[0101] In this way, the control module 70 controls the on and off of the corresponding control valve to realize the coolant regulation and coolant on and off functions of each installation partition 121. For example, the control module 70 controls the coolant cutoff of the corresponding installation partition 121 to facilitate the maintenance and replacement of the faulty server 110 or quick connector 30 in the installation partition 121.

[0102] In some embodiments, both the liquid inlet pipeline 23 and the liquid outlet pipeline 24 are further provided with detection components. The detection component on the liquid inlet pipeline 23 is used to detect the performance parameters of the coolant distributed from the first water distributor 211 to the corresponding second water distributor 221, and the detection component on the liquid outlet pipeline 24 is used to detect the performance parameters of the coolant collected from the corresponding second water collector 222 to the first water collector 212.

[0103] It should be noted that the so-called performance parameters of the coolant include but are not limited to parameters such as the flow rate, temperature, and pressure of the coolant.

[0104] In this embodiment, the detection component includes a flow sensor, a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor, wherein the flow sensor is used to detect the flow of the coolant, the pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure of the coolant, and the temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the coolant.

[0105] In some embodiments, the server cabinet also includes a data acquisition module 80, which is communicatively connected to the detection component and the control module 70. The data acquisition module 80 is used to collect performance parameters of the coolant detected by the detection component and feed back the performance parameters of the coolant to the control module 70.

[0106] Since the detection component includes a flow sensor, a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor in this embodiment, the data acquisition module 80 is connected to the flow sensor, the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor for communication, and the data acquisition module 80 is used to collect the flow data detected by the flow sensor, the temperature data detected by the temperature sensor and the pressure data detected by the pressure sensor, and transmit the flow data detected by the flow sensor, the temperature data detected by the temperature sensor and the pressure data detected by the pressure sensor to the control module 70. Afterwards, the control module 70 receives the flow data detected by the flow sensor, the temperature data detected by the temperature sensor and the pressure data detected by the pressure sensor, thereby executing corresponding control instructions on the first control valve 50.

[0107] In addition, when the server 110 system reaches a stable state, the data acquisition module 80 is set to collect flow data detected by the flow sensor, temperature data detected by the temperature sensor, and pressure data detected by the pressure sensor, and the heat dissipation performance of the server 110 under different load power consumption is recorded in real time, providing data reference for the efficient liquid cooling of the server 110.

[0108] In some embodiments, the server cabinet further includes a prompt module, which is communicatively connected to the control module 70 , and is configured to issue an alarm when a coolant leak occurs in the corresponding quick connector 30 or the server 110 .

[0109] It should be noted that when a coolant leak occurs in the corresponding quick connector 30 or server 110, the flow data detected by the flow sensor, the temperature data detected by the temperature sensor, and the pressure data detected by the pressure sensor collected by the digital acquisition module 80 will all be abnormal. The prompt module is used to issue an alarm prompt when the coolant flow data, temperature data, and pressure data collected by the digital acquisition module 80 reach the corresponding preset conditions.

[0110] Furthermore, the prompt module includes a voice broadcast unit, which is communicatively connected to the control module 70 and is used to broadcast the coolant leakage of the corresponding quick connector 30 or server 110 to prompt the operation and maintenance personnel to check and handle it in time.

[0111] In this way, when a blind-plug quick connector 30 of a server 110 node inside the installation partition 121 leaks, the management system can remotely control the rapid closure of the first control valve 50 on the corresponding liquid inlet pipeline 23 and the liquid outlet pipeline 24, and at the same time, the maintenance personnel of the operation and maintenance center go to the corresponding cabinet after receiving the leakage alarm.

[0112] Since the blind-plug quick connectors 30 are arranged in the outer area of ​​the front and rear ends of the cabinet, maintenance personnel can quickly visually locate which server 110 node has a leak. They only need to dismantle the corresponding node at the leaking location and the blind-plug quick connector 30 to complete the maintenance work.

[0113] In some embodiments, the system where the blind-plug quick connector 30 is located should be equipped with sensitive leakage monitoring equipment, such as a liquid leakage sensor, etc. The liquid leakage sensor can monitor in real time whether there is coolant leakage at the quick connector 30.

[0114] Once a leak is detected, the system will immediately trigger the alarm mechanism. The alarm signal can be sent in a variety of ways, such as sound and light alarms, SMS notifications, email reminders, etc. The server cabinet alarm system solution includes multiple alarm methods such as short messages, emails, phone calls, sound and light alarms, and local voice.

[0115] In some embodiments, the control valve on the corresponding pipeline can also be quickly closed through mobile phone remote control, where remote control mainly relies on Internet of Things technology and intelligent control systems. The system is generally composed of a monitoring platform (such as a PC monitoring management platform, mobile phone APP and WeChat applet), a remote monitoring device (such as an Internet of Things gateway) and a field control device (control valve). After the operator receives the leakage alarm information on the mobile phone APP, the operator sends a command to close the valve to the remote monitoring device through the APP. After receiving the command, the remote monitoring device converts it into a signal suitable for the field control device to identify and transmits it to the corresponding control valve. The actuator of the control valve, such as an electric actuator, drives the control valve to close according to the received signal, thereby cutting off the flow of the coolant and preventing the leakage from further expanding.

[0116] After that, the maintenance personnel will quickly go to the corresponding cabinet according to the fault location provided in the alarm information. After arriving at the scene, the maintenance personnel will first conduct a preliminary inspection of the leakage to confirm the severity and specific location of the leakage, and then take corresponding maintenance measures according to the actual situation, such as replacing the damaged blind plug quick connector 30, repairing the seal, etc.

[0117] After completing the maintenance work, the maintenance personnel need to record the maintenance process, replaced parts, maintenance time and other information in detail. These records can provide reference for future equipment maintenance and fault analysis. After the maintenance is completed, the maintenance personnel will restart the relevant equipment and monitor the operating status of the equipment through the management system to ensure that the system resumes normal operation and no new leaks occur. At the same time, continue to pay attention to the operation of the area so as to promptly discover and deal with possible subsequent problems.

[0118] In some embodiments, the control module 70 is further configured to control the opening of the corresponding first control valve 50 according to the corresponding target temperature information after receiving the actual temperature information of the corresponding server 110 collected by the data collection module 80 .

[0119] It can be seen that the server cabinet provided in the embodiment of the present invention can be used for liquid cooling of the cluster server 110. During operation, the cooling liquid is delivered to each server 110 through the cooling module, so that the cooling liquid is delivered to the cooling branch where the corresponding server 110 is located, thereby realizing centralized liquid cooling of the server 110. On this basis, the control module 70 is connected to the server 110, the control valve and the detection component in each cooling branch through communication, so that the control module 70 can accurately control the opening of the control valve in the corresponding cooling branch according to the working performance parameters of the working components in the server 110 in each cooling branch and the performance parameters of the coolant detected by the detection component, thereby automatically distributing the coolant according to the heat dissipation requirements of the servers 110 in each cooling branch.

[0120] Specifically, the control module 70 adopts closed-loop control, and takes the temperature data of the working components in the server 110 in the corresponding cooling branch as the input quantity, and takes the opening of the corresponding control valve as the controlled object. The control valve determines an opening, and the corresponding server 110 will have a matching flow rate. At the same time, the working components in the corresponding server 110 will have corresponding temperature data. The control module 70 will compare the temperature data of the current working component with the input temperature data of the working component. If the temperature data of the current working component meets the requirement of making the corresponding server 110 in a stable state, the flow rate of the current control valve is used as the output value. If the temperature data of the current working component does not meet the requirement of making the corresponding server 110 in a stable state, the control instruction is re-given, thereby readjusting the opening of the control valve until the temperature data of the working component in the server 110 reaches the target temperature data required when the server 110 is in a stable state in the corresponding cooling branch.

[0121] Of course, according to actual needs, the automatic control algorithm of the control module 70 can be selected from PID control, fuzzy control and adaptive control.

[0122] Specifically, the control module 70 is used to determine whether the temperature data of the working components in the server 110 in the corresponding cooling branch reaches the target temperature data required when the server 110 in the corresponding cooling branch is in a stable state after receiving the temperature data of the working components in the server 110 in the corresponding cooling branch, and is used to determine the opening control signal of the corresponding control valve when the temperature data of the working components in the server 110 in the corresponding cooling branch does not reach the target temperature data required when the server 110 in the corresponding cooling branch is in a stable state, so as to control the opening of the corresponding control valve through the opening control signal, so that the temperature data of the working components in the server 110 in the corresponding cooling branch reaches the target temperature data required when the server 110 in the corresponding cooling branch is in a stable state.

[0123] To this end, the control module 70 includes a receiving unit, a judging unit and a control unit. The receiving unit is connected to the judging unit in communication, and the control unit is connected to the judging unit in communication. The receiving unit is used to receive the temperature data of the working device in the server 110 in the corresponding cooling branch. The judging unit is used to judge whether the temperature data of the working device in the server 110 in the corresponding cooling branch reaches the target temperature data required when the server 110 in the corresponding cooling branch is in a stable state. The control unit is used to determine the opening control signal of the corresponding control valve when the temperature data of the working device in the server 110 in the corresponding cooling branch does not reach the target temperature data required when the server 110 in the corresponding cooling branch is in a stable state, so as to control the opening of the corresponding control valve through the opening control signal, so that the temperature data of the working device in the server 110 in the corresponding cooling branch reaches the target temperature data required when the server 110 in the corresponding cooling branch is in a stable state.

[0124] Of course, according to actual needs, the management device of the server 110 and the control module 70 can be connected through communication protocols such as serial ports or RJ to achieve communication between the two. The control module 70 can read parameters from the management device in the server 110, so that the control module 70 can accurately control the temperature of the working components in the server 110.

[0125] Please also read Figure 8 A second control valve 60 is provided on the connecting pipeline between any quick connector 30 and the second manifold 22 , and the second control valve 60 is used to control the on-off of the pipeline where the corresponding quick connector 30 is located.

[0126] In this embodiment, the second liquid outlet 2212 is connected to the first joint pipeline 41, and the end of the first joint pipeline 41 away from the second liquid outlet 2212 extends to the quick joint 30 corresponding to the second liquid outlet 2212, and the fourth liquid inlet 2222 is connected to the second joint pipeline 42, and the end of the second joint pipeline 42 away from the fourth liquid inlet 2222 extends to the quick joint 30 corresponding to the fourth liquid inlet 2222, and a second control valve 60 is provided on the first joint pipeline 41 and the second joint pipeline 42.

[0127] It can be seen that on the basis of the above-mentioned setting of the first control valve 50 to control the on-off of the coolant in each installation partition 121, a second control valve 60 is set on the cooling branch where each server 110 is located in each installation partition 121 to control the on-off of the coolant of a single server 110.

[0128] The second water distributor 22 and each server 110 node are connected or disconnected through a pair of blind-plug quick connectors 30. Pipelines connecting the second water distributor 221 and the corresponding quick connector 30, as well as the second water collector 222 and the corresponding quick connector 30 are arranged in the corresponding area of ​​each server 110 node, and a second control valve 60 is provided on the pipeline, so that decoupled maintenance of a single server 110 node can be achieved, further reducing the impact range during maintenance.

[0129] With such arrangement, when a coolant leak occurs in a single server 110 node or the corresponding quick connector 30, the corresponding second control valve 60 can be precisely controlled to be closed without affecting the normal operation of other server 110 nodes in the installation partition 121, so as to facilitate targeted maintenance of the server 110 node or quick connector 30 where the coolant leak occurs.

[0130] The manifold assembly 20 in the whole cabinet of the present invention is divided into a first manifold 21 and a second manifold 22. The connecting pipes and control valves of the second manifold 22 and the quick connector 30 are arranged in the corresponding area of ​​each installation partition 121. The second manifold 22 and each node are connected or disconnected through a pair of blind-plug quick connectors 30, which solves the maintainability problem of the blind-plug solution for liquid cooling of the whole cabinet and the problem of quickly locating the nodes that need to replace the blind connectors during blind-plug liquid cooling maintenance, and indirectly improves the availability of the system.

[0131] In addition, through the design inside the node, the flow direction compatibility between the node and the cabinet can be achieved, providing environmental adaptability of the entire cabinet liquid-cooled server 110.

[0132] Please also read Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The flow compatibility between nodes and cabinets is specifically achieved through the following scheme. The main heat sources inside the node include computing module 112 (such as CPU module, GPU module), memory module 111, hard disk module 113, etc. The computing module 112, memory module 111, and hard disk module 113 are symmetrically arranged inside the server 110, that is, the coolant enters from the left side or the right side of the node, and the nodes are compatible. This can avoid the inconsistency of the front and rear nodes of the cabinet and realize the mixed insertion function of the front and rear nodes of the cabinet.

[0133] It can be understood that symmetrically arranging the computing module 112, the memory module 111, and the hard disk module 113 inside the server 110 can optimize the heat dissipation and space utilization efficiency inside the server 110. For example, the symmetrical design of the memory module 111 and the hard disk module 113 can ensure a more uniform heat distribution and avoid local overheating, and the symmetrical layout can also improve the scalability and flexibility of the server 110, facilitating maintenance and upgrading; at the same time, the design that the coolant can enter from the left or right side of the node makes the installation of the server 110 in the cabinet more flexible. This design can avoid heat dissipation problems caused by inconsistent front and rear layouts of the cabinet, while improving the compatibility and reliability of the system; in addition, through this symmetrical layout and flexible access to the coolant, the server 110 can achieve a mixed insertion function of the front and rear nodes of the cabinet, which means that different types of nodes can be flexibly configured in the same cabinet without worrying about heat dissipation or compatibility issues. This function is particularly suitable for scenarios that require high-density deployment and flexible configuration, such as whole-cabinet servers 110 and high-performance computing environments.

[0134] In some embodiments, the server cabinet also includes a first mounting structure and a second mounting structure, the first mounting structure is located at one end of the server mounting chamber 12 in the second direction, the second mounting structure is located at the other end of the server mounting chamber 12 in the second direction, and the first mounting structure and the second mounting structure are respectively fixed on the inner walls of the two side walls of the cabinet 10.

[0135] In this way, the second water distributor 221 and the first water distributor 211 are both installed in the cabinet 10 through the first installation structure, and the second water collector 222 and the first water collector 212 are both installed in the cabinet 10 through the second installation structure.

[0136] In this embodiment, the first mounting structure and the second mounting structure are specifically mounting buckles, which can be detachably installed inside the cabinet 10, and the second water distributor 221, the first water distributor 211, the second water collector 222 and the first water collector 212 are all fixed to the inside of the cabinet 10 by the mounting buckles.

[0137] Of course, according to actual needs, in addition to the above-mentioned mounting buckle structure, the first mounting structure and the second mounting structure can also be set as a slot structure arranged on the inner wall of the cabinet 10, so that the second water distributor 221, the first water distributor 211, the second water collector 222 and the first water collector 212 can be fixed inside the cabinet 10.

[0138] By adopting the above-mentioned installation buckle or card slot method, the manifold assembly 20 can be easily installed and removed, thereby improving the installation and removal efficiency of the manifold assembly 20 inside the server cabinet.

[0139] In some embodiments, the number of server installation chambers 12, installation ports 11 and manifold assemblies 20 are all two, the two installation ports 11 are respectively located on the first side and the second side of the cabinet 10 (the so-called first side and second side of the cabinet 10 refer to the two sides of the cabinet 10 along the first direction), the two server installation chambers 12 are respectively connected to the two installation ports 11, the power supply module installation chamber 13 is located between the two server installation chambers 12 and are connected to each other, and the two manifold assemblies 20 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the power supply module installation chamber 13.

[0140] Specifically, the two server installation chambers 12 are used for the servers 110 to be installed from the front and rear sides of the cabinet 10, respectively, and the power supply module 120 is arranged between the two server installation chambers 12 to supply power to the servers 110 in the two server installation chambers 12. In addition, in addition to supplying power to the servers 110, the power supply module 120 also provides power to other devices in the liquid cooling cabinet.

[0141] In this embodiment, the power supply module 120 is arranged in the middle position of the cabinet 10. When the server 110 is loaded into one of the server installation chambers 12 from the front side of the cabinet 10, the power supply module 120 can be docked with the server 110 in the server installation chamber 12 to provide power to the server 110 in the server installation chamber 12. When the server 110 is loaded into another server installation chamber 12 from the back side of the cabinet 10, the power supply module 120 can be docked with the server 110 in the server installation chamber 12 to provide power to the server 110 in the server installation chamber 12.

[0142] In this way, by setting the power supply module 120 in the middle of the cabinet 10, the servers 110 in the two server installation chambers 12 can be powered at the same time. Since the power supply module 120 is located in the center of the cabinet 10, the length of the power cord and the complexity of wiring can be effectively reduced, and the difficulty of cable management can be reduced. In addition, the layout of the power supply module 120 in the center of the cabinet 10 can also reduce the imbalance of power distribution and ensure that the servers 110 in the front and rear server installation chambers 12 obtain a stable power supply.

[0143] At the same time, since the power supply module 120 is arranged in the middle of the cabinet 10, and the manifold assembly 20 and the quick connector 30 are arranged in the area close to the corresponding installation port 11, water and electricity separation can be achieved. Here, the definition of water and electricity separation is: the liquid cooling water circuit and the power supply circuit of the server 110 are not arranged adjacent to each other in space.

[0144] In general, by placing the power supply module 120 in the middle of the cabinet and supporting flexible docking of front and rear nodes, the compatibility, flexibility and scalability of the cabinet are significantly improved.

[0145] It should be emphasized that the present invention sets a server installation chamber 12 on both sides of the power supply module 120 along the first direction inside the cabinet 10. By mixing the servers 110 at the front and back, the cabinet 10 can install more servers 110 in a limited space, thereby improving the space utilization of the servers 110 in the entire cabinet. At the same time, the user can choose to install the server 110 from the front or back of the cabinet 10 according to actual needs without re-adjusting the cabinet layout. In addition, if new server 110 nodes need to be added in the future, it is only necessary to appropriately increase the installation partition 121 in the server installation chamber 12, without the need for large-scale transformation of the existing system, thereby reducing the cost of secondary transformation.

[0146] Based on this, the area near the two installation ports 11 inside the cabinet 10 is provided with a manifold assembly 20 and a quick connector 30. The manifold assembly 20 is configured to distribute and collect cooling liquid for the servers 110 in the corresponding server installation chamber 12. For example, taking one of the server installation chambers 12 as an example, the first manifold 21 includes a first manifold 211 and a first collector 212. The first manifold 211 and the first collector 212 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the server installation chamber 12 along the second direction. The second manifold 22 includes a second manifold 221 and a second collector 222. The second manifold 221 and the second collector 222 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the server installation chamber 12 along the second direction. In addition, the first manifold 211 and the second manifold 221 are both located at one end of the server installation chamber 12 in the second direction (such as Figure 2 The first water collector 212 and the second water collector 222 are both located at the other end of the server installation chamber 12 in the second direction (as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown in the right end, the second water divider 221 is located on the side of the first water divider 211 away from the power supply module installation chamber 13, and the second water collector 222 is located on the side of the first water collector 212 away from the power supply module installation chamber 13.

[0147] The above-mentioned configuration can realize a left-in-right-out cooling liquid circulation mode of the coolant, thereby achieving the effect of liquid cooling of the server 110 in the server installation chamber 12.

[0148] During installation, first install the power supply module 120 in the middle position of the cabinet 10, then install the male connector of the quick connector 30 directly on the manifold assembly 20, then fix the manifold assembly 20 in an area close to the installation port 11, and finally install the server 110 into the server installation chamber 12 and dock it with the power supply module 120. The female connector of the quick connector 30 pre-installed on the server 110 can be connected to the male connector of the quick connector 30 on the corresponding manifold assembly 20.

[0149] The combined structure of the manifold assembly 20 and the blind plug quick connector 30 of the present invention is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the power supply module installation chamber 13 along the first direction, without restricting the inlet and outlet to be fixed on one side. The power supply module 120 is arranged in the middle of the cabinet to complete the overall layout.

[0150] In some embodiments, cabinet doors 90 are provided on both sides of the cabinet 10 along the first direction, and the two cabinet doors 90 are rotatably connected to the first side and the second side of the cabinet 10, respectively. The cabinet doors 90 are configured to expose the corresponding installation opening 11 and the quick connector 30 when opened, and to close the corresponding installation opening 11 and place the corresponding quick connector 30 in a closed space when closed. Such a configuration brings at least the following beneficial effects:

[0151] First, it is easy to operate and maintain: cabinet doors 90 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the cabinet 10, so that the operation and maintenance personnel can easily access the quick connector 30 from the front and rear sides of the cabinet 10. When it is necessary to connect, disconnect or maintain the equipment, there is no need to go around to the other side of the cabinet 10, which greatly improves the work efficiency. The design of the front and rear cabinet doors 90 allows the operation and maintenance personnel to choose to operate from the front or rear end of the cabinet as needed, and quickly complete the installation, upgrade or troubleshooting of the server 110.

[0152] Second, it enhances safety: when the cabinet door 90 is closed, it can seal the corresponding installation port 11, isolating key components such as the quick connector 30 from the external environment, preventing dust, foreign matter, etc. from entering, and avoiding contamination or damage to the equipment. At the same time, it can also prevent unauthorized personnel from contacting the equipment at will, ensuring the safe operation of the equipment. For example, in some cabinets involving important data storage or key business operations, this design can effectively prevent the risk of data leakage or malicious damage to the equipment.

[0153] In some embodiments, air-cooling radiators 91 are installed on both cabinet doors 90 , and the air-cooling radiators 91 on the two cabinet doors 90 are configured to respectively perform air cooling on the servers 110 in the two server installation chambers 12 .

[0154] In this way, by setting air-cooling radiators 91 on the cabinet doors 90 on the front and rear sides of the cabinet 10, the air-cooling radiators 91 draw cold air from the outside of the cabinet 10 into the cabinet through the built-in fan, and at the same time discharge the hot air generated by the server 110 in the cabinet to the outside of the cabinet, forming air convection, thereby taking away the heat generated by the server 110, and achieving the purpose of cooling. The air-cooling radiators 91 on the front and rear sides respectively dissipate heat for the servers 110 in the two server installation chambers 12, so that the servers 110 in each installation area can be effectively cooled, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the servers 110 in the two server installation chambers 12 on the basis of liquid cooling, and meeting the heat dissipation requirements of the servers 110 under high load conditions. In addition, since there are radiators on the front and rear sides, the air flow in the cabinet 10 can be more uniform, avoiding local overheating. The servers 110 in each installation area can enjoy a relatively balanced cooling effect, which is conducive to improving the operating stability and reliability of the servers 110 in the entire cabinet 10.

[0155] To facilitate the installation of the power supply module 120, at least one mounting beam is provided in the power supply module installation chamber 13. The mounting beam extends along the second direction, and fixing holes are provided at both ends of the mounting beam. The fixing holes are used to connect fixing members. The fixing members pass through the fixing holes and are detachably fixed to the cabinet 10.

[0156] Of course, according to actual needs, two mounting beams can be provided, and the two mounting beams are respectively arranged at the top and bottom of the power supply module installation chamber 13. In this way, when installing the power supply module 120, the connecting structures at the upper and lower ends of the power supply module 120 can be respectively connected to the two mounting beams, and the connecting structures include but are not limited to bolt assemblies, clamping assemblies, etc.

[0157] To facilitate installation of the server 110, a support assembly 100 for carrying the server 110 and allowing the server 110 to slide relative to the cabinet 10 is provided in the server installation chamber 12. Two support assemblies 100 form a group and are disposed at both ends of the server installation chamber 12 along the second direction. The support assembly 100 extends along the first direction, so that the server 110 can be pushed into the server installation chamber 12 along the extension direction of the support assembly 100. The number of the support assemblies 100 is at least two groups, and the at least two groups of support assemblies 100 are spaced apart along the height direction of the cabinet 10. At least one of the at least two groups of support assemblies 100 is slidably disposed so as to adjust the distance between the two adjacent groups of support assemblies 100.

[0158] Please also read Fig.12The support assembly 100 includes a guide rail 101, a first slider 102, and a second slider 103. The guide rail 101 is fixed in the server installation chamber 12, and the guide rail 101 extends along the first direction, and one server 110 is fixed to every two guide rails 101; the first slider 102 and the second slider 103 are slidably arranged on the guide rail 101, and the first slider 102 is closer to the power module installation chamber 13 than the second slider 103, and the first slider 102 is provided with a first groove 1021, and the second slider 103 is provided with a second groove 1031, and the first groove 1021 and the second groove 1031 are both used for the support feet at the bottom of the server 110 to extend into.

[0159] It is understandable that each server 110 has four supporting feet at the bottom. For the purpose of support, four sliders (i.e., four grooves) are provided on the two guide rails 101. The four grooves are respectively used for the four supporting feet at the bottom of the server 110 to extend into, so as to guide and support the server 110. When in use, after the four supporting feet of the server 110 are matched with different grooves, the installation of the server 110 can be achieved by sliding the first slider 102 and the second slider 103 relative to the guide rail 101.

[0160] Furthermore, to ensure reliable installation of the server 110, a limiting column 104 is provided at one end of the first groove 1021 close to the power module installation chamber 13 and at one end of the second groove 1031 away from the power module installation chamber 13. The height of the limiting column 104 is greater than the top surface where the corresponding slider is located. The limiting column 104 in the first groove 1021 is used to prevent the server 110 from being separated from the first slider 102 in the direction close to the power module installation chamber 13, and the limiting column 104 in the second groove 1031 is used to prevent the server 110 from being separated from the second slider 103 in the direction away from the power module installation chamber 13. Due to the existence of the limiting components, the four supporting feet of the server 110 will not be separated from the slider, so that the reliable installation of the server 110 can be ensured.

[0161] In addition, a first threaded hole 1011 is provided at one end of the guide rail 101 close to the power module installation chamber 13, and at least two second threaded holes 1012 are provided at one end of the guide rail 101 away from the power module installation chamber 13. The first threaded hole 1011 and the second threaded hole 1012 are both used for threading the fastener 105. The fastener 105 can be a fastening screw.

[0162] When the server 110 needs to be installed, the fastening screw is screwed into the guide rail 101 to prevent the slider from detaching from the guide rail 101. It should be noted that since the position of the first threaded hole 1011 is close to the power supply module installation chamber 13, and the server 110 needs to be docked with the power supply module 120 in the power supply module installation chamber 13, the position of the first threaded hole 1011 needs to be fixed to ensure that the server 110 is installed in place and the server 110 and the power supply module 120 are smoothly docked. At least two second threaded holes 1012 are set at the other end of the guide rail 101, and at least two second threaded holes 1012 are spaced apart along the length direction of the guide rail 101, so that servers 110 of different sizes can be adapted. When the server 110 is installed in place, the fastening screws are finally installed into the second threaded holes 1012.

[0163] In summary, since the current conventional blind plug solution is arranged at the rear of the cabinet, all nodes need to be removed during maintenance in order to remove the faulty blind plug, which is very inconvenient for maintenance. At the same time, since the blind plug is arranged at the rear of the cabinet, it is also difficult to locate the node corresponding to the leak point during inspection, resulting in great blindness during maintenance and difficulty in accurate positioning. In order to solve this problem, the server cabinet provided by the embodiment of the present invention arranges the manifold assembly 20 in the cabinet 10 and the quick connector 30 for connecting the manifold assembly 20 and the corresponding server 110 in the area of ​​the cabinet 10 close to the installation port 11. On the one hand, visualization is achieved, which facilitates the operation and maintenance personnel to quickly locate which server 110 node or quick connector 30 has a leak by visual inspection. On the other hand, maintainability is achieved. During maintenance, the quick connector 30 located on the side of the manifold assembly 20 away from the power module installation chamber 13 can be easily removed and replaced without removing all server 110 nodes, which is very convenient for maintenance. In addition, since the power supply module 120 is arranged in the cabinet 10 on the side of the server installation chamber 12 away from the installation port 11, and the manifold assembly 20 is spaced apart from the power supply module 120, the liquid cooling water circuit and power supply line of the server 110 are spaced apart in space, thereby achieving the effect of separating water and electricity, which is beneficial to ensure the safe operation of the server 110 and facilitates maintenance and management.

[0164] A whole cabinet server 110 provided by the present invention includes the server cabinet described in the above specific embodiment. The whole cabinet server 110 also includes a server 110 and a power supply module 120. The power supply module 120 is installed in the power supply module installation chamber 13, and the server 110 is installed in the server installation chamber 12.
