Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of server technology, specifically to a protruding liquid-cooled docking structure and its assembly method, and a liquid-cooled server. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid-cooled servers are servers in which liquid is injected into the server, removing heat through heat exchange. From a physical perspective, they can be categorized into: cold plate radiator liquid-cooled servers and fully immersed liquid-cooled servers. The cold plate radiator of a liquid-cooled server is fixed to the server chassis, while the coolant used by the cold plate radiator is supplied by the chassis's manifold. The manifold is a piping device used for heat dissipation; the manifold is the coolant return manifold. However, the fixed position of the manifold is uncertain, requiring manual assistance to connect the manifold's inlet and outlet pipes to the inlet and outlet pipes on the chassis. Servers typically have many cables, and manual connection increases the workload for the technician and poses a risk to other existing cables. In addition, the existing liquid-cooled blind-plug structure has length requirements for the chassis, and the chassis length must be basically matched with the manifold's liquid outlet pipe position. When the chassis length does not meet the requirements to match the manifold's liquid outlet pipe position, a separate adapter pipe needs to be set up to achieve the connection when the chassis and manifold's liquid outlet pipe position are connected. Moreover, the chassis needs to be redeveloped based on the chassis length requirements of the liquid-cooled blind-plug structure. A fixed inlet and outlet pipe structure needs to be customized and set up inside the chassis of the liquid-cooled server, which increases the difficulty and cost of chassis development.

Detailed Implementation

[0049] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0050] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0051] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature being directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0052] Traditional servers rely on air to remove heat generated by heat-generating components inside the chassis. This results in high cooling energy consumption, high noise levels, low device density, and enormous power consumption. Furthermore, with future development, the power consumption of CPUs / GPUs and other internal server components will continue to increase. Traditional air cooling will not only consume more power but may also fail to remove internal heat in time, potentially causing server crashes.

[0053] To address this challenge, cold plate heat sinks were developed, primarily for use with the CPU, which has the highest power consumption in the server. This technology has gradually expanded to include cold plate heat sinks for the CPU, dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs), and other modules. Cold plate heat sinks significantly reduce the power consumption (electrical energy) of servers and also greatly reduce server noise.

[0054] A liquid-cooled server is a server in which liquid is injected into the server, and heat is dissipated through heat exchange. Based on physical form, liquid-cooled servers can be categorized into: cold plate radiator type liquid-cooled servers and fully immersed liquid-cooled servers.

[0055] Cold plate radiator-type liquid cooling technology utilizes a working fluid as an intermediate heat transfer medium to transfer heat from a hot area to a distant location for cooling. In this technology, the working fluid is separated from the object being cooled; the working fluid does not directly contact the electronic components. Instead, the heat from the object being cooled is transferred to the refrigerant through highly efficient heat conduction components such as liquid-cooled plate radiators. Therefore, cold plate radiator-type liquid cooling technology is also known as indirect liquid cooling technology. This technology directly guides the coolant to the heat source. Furthermore, because liquid has a higher specific heat than air, its heat dissipation rate is much greater than that of air, resulting in a cooling efficiency far exceeding that of air cooling. The heat transferred per unit volume (i.e., the heat dissipation efficiency) can reach up to 1000 times, effectively solving the heat dissipation problems of high-density servers, reducing cooling system energy consumption, and lowering noise.

[0056] Manifold liquid cooling is a piping system used for heat dissipation. Through specific piping design and structure, coolant is used as the cooling medium, efficiently distributed through pipes to various servers or devices requiring cooling, thereby lowering their temperature and ensuring stable operation. Its precise internal channel design ensures that the coolant flows evenly and rapidly through each heat dissipation unit, effectively carrying away heat and reducing equipment temperature. In short, it's a structure within a server rack used to deliver low-temperature coolant to each node (server) and remove high-temperature coolant.

[0057] Example 1

[0058] Please see Figures 1 to 8 Embodiment 1 of this application provides an extendable liquid-cooled docking structure 10, which includes a fixed bracket 1, a liquid tube clamping block 2, a liquid tube straightening block 3, and a matching bracket 4.

[0059] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 The fixed bracket 1 has a fixed end 11 and a blind insertion end 12 along its length. The fixed end 11 extends into the chassis 40, and the blind insertion end 12 is located on the outside of the chassis 40. The inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 are fixed on the fixed end 11, and the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 extend to the blind insertion end 12. The length of the blind insertion end 12 extending outside the chassis 40 can be adaptively adjusted based on the required length for the sealed connection between the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 and the heat dissipation pipe device 60. The matching bracket 4 is fixed inside the chassis 40, and one side of the fixed bracket 1 is detachably connected to the matching bracket 4. The connection position between the fixed bracket 1 and the matching bracket 4 ensures that the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 are sealed and connected to the heat dissipation pipe device 60.

[0060] For details, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 12 The matching bracket 4 includes an installation end 41 and a snap-fit ​​end 42. The installation end 41 is connected to the chassis 40 to achieve connection with the inside of the chassis 40. The snap-fit ​​end 42 is provided with at least two snap-fit ​​slots 43. The fixed bracket 1 is provided with at least one snap-fit ​​protrusion 111. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 111 snaps into the snap-fit ​​slot 43. By adjusting the snap-fit ​​slot 43 that the snap-fit ​​protrusion 111 snaps into, the distance between the blind insertion end 12 and the heat dissipation pipe device 60 is adjusted, so that the fixed bracket 1 and the matching bracket 4 are staggered and connected to each other. The staggered length between the fixed bracket 1 and the matching bracket 4 is equal to the distance between the chassis 40 and the heat dissipation pipe device 60, so that the blind insertion end 12 protrudes out of the outside of the chassis 40, thereby sealing the ports of the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid outlet pipe 30 to the heat dissipation pipe device 60. The connection position of the fixed bracket 1 and the matching bracket 4 ensures that the ports of the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid outlet pipe 30 are sealed and connected to the heat dissipation pipe device 60. The length of the fixed bracket 1 extending out of the chassis 40 can be adjusted adaptively, and the width of the matching bracket 4 can be adjusted adaptively based on the space of the chassis 40.

[0061] Preferably, the number of snap-fit ​​slots 43 is greater than or equal to the number of snap-fit ​​protrusions 111. The snap-fit ​​slots 43 and the snap-fit ​​protrusions 111 are equally spaced, and the distance between two adjacent snap-fit ​​protrusions 111 is an integer multiple of the distance between two adjacent snap-fit ​​slots 43. This allows adjustment of the distance between the chassis 40 and the heat dissipation pipe device 60 by adjusting the snap-fit ​​positions of the snap-fit ​​protrusions 111 and the snap-fit ​​slots 43, thereby adjusting the length of the blind-plug end 12 protruding from the outside of the chassis 40, and achieving a sealed connection between the ports of the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid outlet pipe 30 and the heat dissipation pipe device 60.

[0062] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The liquid pipe clamping block 2 is provided with a first clamping through hole 24 and a second clamping through hole 25. The first clamping through hole 24 is used to clamp the port of the inlet pipe 20, and the second clamping through hole 25 is used to clamp the port of the outlet pipe 30. This eliminates the need to customize and fix the inlet and outlet pipe structures inside the chassis 40. The matching bracket 4 can be directly installed in the chassis 40, which is convenient and reduces the development cost of the chassis.

[0063] In this embodiment, a matching bracket 4 is fixed inside the chassis 40, and a fixing bracket 1 is detachably connected to one side of the matching bracket 4. An inlet pipe 20 and an outlet pipe 30 are fixed to the fixing end 11 of the fixing bracket 1, which extends into the chassis 40. The blind insertion end 12 of the fixing bracket 1 is located outside the chassis 40. A pipe clamping block 2 is provided to clamp the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30. The fixing bracket 1 and the matching bracket 4 are staggered, ensuring that the staggered lengths of the fixing bracket 1 and the matching bracket 4 are equal. By maintaining the appropriate distance between the chassis 40 and the heat dissipation pipe device 60, the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 are sealed and connected to the heat dissipation pipe device 60. This eliminates the need for custom-designed fixed inlet and outlet pipe structures within the chassis 40, increasing the feasibility of liquid cooling plate support solutions. Under the unchanged chassis 40 architecture, the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 are sealed and connected to the heat dissipation pipe device 60, reducing the development cost of the chassis 40 and saving on the adapter pipes between the chassis 40 and the heat dissipation pipe device 60.

[0064] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 The blind-plug terminal 12 includes an outer end plate 13, which has a port through hole 14. The ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 extend through the port through hole 14 to the outside of the outer end plate 13. The outer end plate 13 can be adapted to the chassis 40, and the port through hole 14 can be used to make the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 protrude, maintaining an aesthetic appearance.

[0065] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 7 The blind insertion end 12 includes an anti-detachment bracket 15, which is connected to the outer sealing end plate 13 by a first fastener 16. The lower surface of the anti-detachment bracket 15 is fixed with a liquid pipe clamping block 2 to prevent misalignment of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30.

[0066] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The fixed end 11 includes at least one liquid pipe fixing clamp 19, on which the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid outlet pipe 30 are clamped and fixed.

[0067] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7The extended liquid-cooled docking structure 10 also includes: liquid pipe straightening block 3, straightening stop frame 17 and stop straightening block 18.

[0068] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The liquid pipe straightening block 3 is fixed to the blind insertion end 12. A fixing groove 33 is provided in the middle of the liquid pipe straightening block 3, and the fixing groove 33 encloses the fixing liquid pipe clamping block 2. The liquid pipe straightening block 3 is made of elastic silicone. The liquid pipe straightening block 3 is made of high-strength tensile silicone, which can be used in environments with high ambient temperatures. Because silicone has a certain elasticity, it can both pre-compress the liquid pipe joint and ensure that it remains in the center position before contacting the manifold of the cabinet. This reduces tolerances during use and ensures more reliable connection. The liquid pipe straightening block 3 can achieve a 360° deformation range. Compared with commonly used spring shapes, silicone can provide 360° deformation and ensure that the inlet pipe 20 and outlet pipe 30 are in the designed center position before connection, reducing the possibility of excessive connection deviation due to accumulated processing tolerances.

[0069] The correction stop frame 17 is located at the blind insertion end 12 and between the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30; the liquid pipe correction block 3 is fixed on one side of the stop correction block 18, the width of the stop correction block 18 is less than the length of the fixing groove 33, and the side of the stop correction block 18 away from the liquid pipe correction block 3 is connected to the correction stop frame 17.

[0070] The stop and correction block 18 can effectively maintain the position of the liquid tube correction block 3, and the anti-detachment bracket 15 can effectively press the liquid tube correction block 3 and the stop and correction block 18 to prevent misalignment of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30.

[0071] One side of the stop and correction block 18 corresponds to the mating gap of the first correction block 31 and the second correction block 32. The stop and correction block 18 is made of elastic silicone. The stop and correction block 18 is made of high-strength tensile silicone, which can be used in environments with high ambient temperatures. Because silicone has a certain degree of elasticity, it can both pre-compress the liquid pipe joint and keep it in the center position before contacting the Manifold of the cabinet. This reduces the tolerance during use and ensures more reliable docking. The liquid pipe correction block 3 and the stop and correction block 18 can achieve a 360° deformation range. Compared with the commonly used spring shape, silicone can provide 360° deformation and ensure that the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 are in the designed center position before docking, reducing the possibility of excessive docking deviation due to the accumulation of processing tolerances.

[0072] The lower surface of the anti-detachment bracket 15 presses against the liquid pipe straightening block 3 and the stop straightening block 18. The anti-detachment bracket 15 can effectively press against the liquid pipe straightening block 3 and the stop straightening block 18 to prevent misalignment of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30.

[0073] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The liquid pipe clamping block 2 includes a lower liquid pipe clamping block 21 and an upper liquid pipe clamping block 22. The lower liquid pipe clamping block 21 and the upper liquid pipe clamping block 22 have the same length and are connected to each other by a second fastener 23. The lower liquid pipe clamping block 21 is provided with a first lower semicircular groove 211 and a second lower semicircular groove 212. The upper liquid pipe clamping block 22 is provided with a first upper semicircular groove 221 and a second upper semicircular groove 222. The first lower semicircular groove 211 and the first upper semicircular groove 221 have the same radius, and the second lower semicircular groove 212 and the second upper semicircular groove 222 have the same radius. The first lower semicircular groove 211 and the first upper semicircular groove 221 form a first clamping through hole 24, and the second lower semicircular groove 212 and the second upper semicircular groove 222 form a second clamping through hole 25.

[0074] Preferably, the lower liquid pipe clamping block 21 and the upper liquid pipe clamping block 22 are metal clamping blocks used to fix the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30.

[0075] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 The liquid tube straightening block 3 includes a first straightening block 31 and a second straightening block 32 arranged opposite to each other.

[0076] The lower liquid pipe clamping block 21 has a first threaded hole 213 in its middle, and the upper liquid pipe clamping block 22 has a second threaded hole 223 in its middle. The first straightening block 31 and the second straightening block 32 are located at opposite ends of the lower liquid pipe clamping block 21 and the upper liquid pipe clamping block 22, respectively. The stop straightening block 18 has the same width as the straightening stop frame 17. The stop straightening block 18 is located between the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30. The stop straightening block 18 has a first through hole 181 corresponding to the first threaded hole 213 and a second through hole corresponding to the second threaded hole 223. 182. The straightening stop frame 17 is provided with a third threaded hole 171 corresponding to the first through hole 181, and a fourth threaded hole 172 corresponding to the second through hole 182.

The second fastener connects the lower liquid pipe clamping block 21, the stop straightening block 18 and the straightening stop frame 17 through the first threaded hole 213, the second through hole 182 and the fourth threaded hole 172.

[0077] like Figure 11As shown, the inlet pipe 20 and outlet pipe 30 are connected to the heatsink 70 in the chassis 40, providing the heatsink 70 with low-temperature coolant and carrying away the heat from the high-temperature coolant in the outlet pipe 30, so that the coolant temperature in the inlet pipe 20 is lower than the coolant temperature in the outlet pipe 30. Preferably, the chassis 40 houses a motherboard 50, on which a processor 51 is mounted, and the heatsink 70 is attached to the processor 51.

[0078] Understandably, at least one wire harness fixing clamp is provided at the middle of the fixed end 11 corresponding to the correction stop frame 17 and / or the stop correction block 18. A receiving gap is formed between the wire harness fixing clamp and the side wall of the fixed end 11, and the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 are fixed within the receiving gap. In this way, the stop correction block 18 and the lower liquid pipe clamping block 21 can also be reused to fix the wire harness. The stop correction block 18 and the lower liquid pipe clamping block 21 are provided with wire holes. The wire harness passes through the wire holes and extends outward from the port through hole 14 of the outer sealing end plate 13. This allows the wire harness to be set between the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30, improving the compactness and rationality of the structure. The wire harness can provide power to the cold plate heat sink 70.

The offset length of bracket 4 is equal to the interval between chassis 40 and heat dissipation pipe device 60, ensuring that the ports of inlet pipe 20 and outlet pipe 30 are sealed to heat dissipation pipe device 60. There is no need to customize and fix the inlet and outlet pipe structure inside chassis 40, which increases the feasibility of liquid cooling plate support scheme. Under the unchanged chassis 40 architecture, the ports of inlet pipe 20 and outlet pipe 30 are sealed to heat dissipation pipe device 60, reducing the development cost of chassis 40, and also saving the adapter pipe between chassis 40 and heat dissipation pipe device 60.

[0083] A first straightening block 31 and a second straightening block 32 are arranged opposite each other on the outside of the liquid tube clamping block 2. The first straightening block 31 and the second straightening block 32 form the liquid tube straightening block 3. The first straightening block 31 is provided with a first slot 311 facing the second straightening block 32, and the second straightening block 32 is provided with a second slot 321 facing the first straightening block 31. The first slot 311 and the second slot 321 form a fixing groove 33. The middle part of the liquid tube straightening block 3 is provided with a fixing groove 33, and the fixing groove 33 covers and fixes the liquid tube clamping block 2.

[0084] A fixed bracket 1 is obtained, which has a fixed end 11 and a blind insertion end 12 along its length. The inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 are set on the fixed end 11, and the pipe straightening block 3 is fixed on the blind insertion end 12. The two ends of the first straightening block 31 and the second straightening block 32 abut against the inner sidewall of the blind insertion end 12. The blind insertion end 12 includes an outer sealing end plate 13, which has a port through hole 14. The ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 extend through the port through hole 14 to the outside of the outer sealing end plate 13.

[0085] A stop correction block 18 is provided on one side of the liquid tube correction block 3. The side of the stop correction block 18 away from the liquid tube correction block 3 is connected to the correction stop frame 17. The correction stop frame 17 is located at the blind insertion end 12 and between the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30.

[0086] An anti-detachment bracket 15 is provided at the blind insertion end 12. The anti-detachment bracket 15 is connected to the outer sealing end plate 13 through the first fastener 16. The lower surface of the anti-detachment bracket 15 presses the liquid tube correction block 3 and the stop correction block 18.

[0087] A matching bracket 4 is provided on one side of the fixed bracket 1.

The blind insertion end 12 is located outside the chassis 40. The matching bracket 4 is detachably connected to the chassis 40 based on the length of the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid outlet pipe 30.

[0088] The assembly method of the protruding liquid-cooled docking structure 10 enables the protruding liquid-cooled docking structure 10 to be detachably connected to the chassis 40. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure for clamping the inlet and outlet ports of the liquid pipe clamping block.

Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the structure for installing the extended liquid cooling docking structure inside the chassis.

[0089] By using the above-described assembly method for the extended liquid-cooled docking structure 10, the extended liquid-cooled docking structure 10 can be quickly assembled and formed. Based on the lengths of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30, the matching bracket 4 can be detachably connected to the chassis 40 without modifying the chassis 40. This increases the feasibility of the liquid cooling plate support scheme. Under the unchanged chassis 40 architecture, there is no need to develop a new chassis 40 to achieve the corresponding functions, reducing the development cost of the chassis 40 and the material control cost caused by adding a chassis 40.

[0090] Example 3

[0091] Please see Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 Embodiment 3 of this application provides a liquid-cooled server, including the aforementioned extended liquid-cooled docking structure 10.

[0092] Please see Figures 1 to 8 The extended liquid cooling docking structure 10 includes a fixed bracket 1, a liquid tube clamping block 2, a liquid tube straightening block 3, and a matching bracket 4.

[0093] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2The fixed bracket 1 has a fixed end 11 and a blind insertion end 12 along its length. The fixed end 11 extends into the chassis 40, and the blind insertion end 12 is located on the outside of the chassis 40. The inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 are fixed on the fixed end 11, and the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 extend to the blind insertion end 12. The length of the blind insertion end 12 extending outside the chassis 40 can be adaptively adjusted based on the required length for the sealed connection between the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 and the heat dissipation pipe device 60. The matching bracket 4 is fixed inside the chassis 40, and one side of the fixed bracket 1 is detachably connected to the matching bracket 4. The connection position between the fixed bracket 1 and the matching bracket 4 ensures that the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 are sealed and connected to the heat dissipation pipe device 60.

[0094] For details, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 12 The matching bracket 4 includes an installation end 41 and a snap-fit ​​end 42. The installation end 41 is connected to the chassis 40 to achieve connection with the inside of the chassis 40. The snap-fit ​​end 42 is provided with at least two snap-fit ​​slots 43. The fixed bracket 1 is provided with at least one snap-fit ​​protrusion 111. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 111 snaps into the snap-fit ​​slot 43. By adjusting the snap-fit ​​slot 43 that the snap-fit ​​protrusion 111 snaps into, the distance between the blind insertion end 12 and the heat dissipation pipe device 60 is adjusted, so that the fixed bracket 1 and the matching bracket 4 are staggered and connected to each other. The staggered length between the fixed bracket 1 and the matching bracket 4 is equal to the distance between the chassis 40 and the heat dissipation pipe device 60, so that the blind insertion end 12 protrudes out of the outside of the chassis 40, thereby sealing the ports of the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid outlet pipe 30 to the heat dissipation pipe device 60. The connection position of the fixed bracket 1 and the matching bracket 4 ensures that the ports of the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid outlet pipe 30 are sealed and connected to the heat dissipation pipe device 60. The length of the fixed bracket 1 extending out of the chassis 40 can be adjusted adaptively, and the width of the matching bracket 4 can be adjusted adaptively based on the space of the chassis 40.

[0095] Preferably, the number of snap-fit ​​slots 43 is greater than or equal to the number of snap-fit ​​protrusions 111. The snap-fit ​​slots 43 and the snap-fit ​​protrusions 111 are equally spaced, and the distance between two adjacent snap-fit ​​protrusions 111 is an integer multiple of the distance between two adjacent snap-fit ​​slots 43. This allows adjustment of the distance between the chassis 40 and the heat dissipation pipe device 60 by adjusting the snap-fit ​​positions of the snap-fit ​​protrusions 111 and the snap-fit ​​slots 43, thereby adjusting the length of the blind-plug end 12 protruding from the outside of the chassis 40, and achieving a sealed connection between the ports of the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid outlet pipe 30 and the heat dissipation pipe device 60.

[0096] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The liquid pipe clamping block 2 is provided with a first clamping through hole 24 and a second clamping through hole 25. The first clamping through hole 24 is used to clamp the port of the inlet pipe 20, and the second clamping through hole 25 is used to clamp the port of the outlet pipe 30. This eliminates the need to customize and fix the inlet and outlet pipe structures inside the chassis 40. The matching bracket 4 can be directly installed in the chassis 40, which is convenient and reduces the development cost of the chassis.

[0097] In this embodiment, a matching bracket 4 is fixed inside the chassis 40, and a fixing bracket 1 is detachably connected to one side of the matching bracket 4. An inlet pipe 20 and an outlet pipe 30 are fixed to the fixing end 11 of the fixing bracket 1, which extends into the chassis 40. The blind insertion end 12 of the fixing bracket 1 is located outside the chassis 40. A pipe clamping block 2 is provided to clamp the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30. The fixing bracket 1 and the matching bracket 4 are staggered, ensuring that the staggered lengths of the fixing bracket 1 and the matching bracket 4 are equal. By maintaining the appropriate distance between the chassis 40 and the heat dissipation pipe device 60, the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 are sealed and connected to the heat dissipation pipe device 60. This eliminates the need for custom-designed fixed inlet and outlet pipe structures within the chassis 40, increasing the feasibility of liquid cooling plate support solutions. Under the unchanged chassis 40 architecture, the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 are sealed and connected to the heat dissipation pipe device 60, reducing the development cost of the chassis 40 and saving on the adapter pipes between the chassis 40 and the heat dissipation pipe device 60.

[0098] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 The blind-plug terminal 12 includes an outer end plate 13, which has a port through hole 14. The ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 extend through the port through hole 14 to the outside of the outer end plate 13. The outer end plate 13 can be adapted to the chassis 40, and the port through hole 14 can be used to make the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 protrude, maintaining an aesthetic appearance.

[0099] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 7 The blind insertion end 12 includes an anti-detachment bracket 15, which is connected to the outer sealing end plate 13 by a first fastener 16. The lower surface of the anti-detachment bracket 15 is fixed with a liquid pipe clamping block 2 to prevent misalignment of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30.

[0100] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The fixed end 11 includes at least one liquid pipe fixing clamp 19, on which the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid outlet pipe 30 are clamped and fixed.

[0101] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7The extended liquid-cooled docking structure 10 also includes: liquid pipe straightening block 3, straightening stop frame 17 and stop straightening block 18.

[0102] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The liquid pipe straightening block 3 is fixed to the blind insertion end 12. A fixing groove 33 is provided in the middle of the liquid pipe straightening block 3, and the fixing groove 33 encloses the fixing liquid pipe clamping block 2. The liquid pipe straightening block 3 is made of elastic silicone. The liquid pipe straightening block 3 is made of high-strength tensile silicone, which can be used in environments with high ambient temperatures. Because silicone has a certain elasticity, it can both pre-compress the liquid pipe joint and ensure that it remains in the center position before contacting the manifold of the cabinet. This reduces tolerances during use and ensures more reliable connection. The liquid pipe straightening block 3 can achieve a 360° deformation range. Compared with commonly used spring shapes, silicone can provide 360° deformation and ensure that the inlet pipe 20 and outlet pipe 30 are in the designed center position before connection, reducing the possibility of excessive connection deviation due to accumulated processing tolerances.

[0103] The correction stop frame 17 is located at the blind insertion end 12 and between the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30; the liquid pipe correction block 3 is fixed on one side of the stop correction block 18, the width of the stop correction block 18 is less than the length of the fixing groove 33, and the side of the stop correction block 18 away from the liquid pipe correction block 3 is connected to the correction stop frame 17.

[0104] The stop and correction block 18 can effectively maintain the position of the liquid tube correction block 3, and the anti-detachment bracket 15 can effectively press the liquid tube correction block 3 and the stop and correction block 18 to prevent misalignment of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30.

[0105] One side of the stop and correction block 18 corresponds to the mating gap of the first correction block 31 and the second correction block 32. The stop and correction block 18 is made of elastic silicone. The stop and correction block 18 is made of high-strength tensile silicone, which can be used in environments with high ambient temperatures. Because silicone has a certain degree of elasticity, it can both pre-compress the liquid pipe joint and keep it in the center position before contacting the Manifold of the cabinet. This reduces the tolerance during use and ensures more reliable docking. The liquid pipe correction block 3 and the stop and correction block 18 can achieve a 360° deformation range. Compared with the commonly used spring shape, silicone can provide 360° deformation and ensure that the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 are in the designed center position before docking, reducing the possibility of excessive docking deviation due to the accumulation of processing tolerances.

[0106] The lower surface of the anti-detachment bracket 15 presses against the liquid pipe straightening block 3 and the stop straightening block 18. The anti-detachment bracket 15 can effectively press against the liquid pipe straightening block 3 and the stop straightening block 18 to prevent misalignment of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30.

[0107] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The liquid pipe clamping block 2 includes a lower liquid pipe clamping block 21 and an upper liquid pipe clamping block 22.

The upper liquid pipe clamping block 22 is provided with a first upper semicircular groove 221 and a second upper semicircular groove 222. The first lower semicircular groove 211 and the first upper semicircular groove 221 have the same radius, and the second lower semicircular groove 212 and the second upper semicircular groove 222 have the same radius. The first lower semicircular groove 211 and the first upper semicircular groove 221 form a first clamping through hole 24, and the second lower semicircular groove 212 and the second upper semicircular groove 222 form a second clamping through hole 25.

[0108] Preferably, the lower liquid pipe clamping block 21 and the upper liquid pipe clamping block 22 are metal clamping blocks used to fix the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30.

[0109] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 The liquid tube straightening block 3 includes a first straightening block 31 and a second straightening block 32 arranged opposite to each other. The first straightening block 31 is provided with a first slot 311 facing the second straightening block 32, and the second straightening block 32 is provided with a second slot 321 facing the first straightening block 31.

The threaded hole is provided with a second through hole, the straightening stop bracket 17 is provided with a third threaded hole corresponding to the first through hole, and the straightening stop bracket 17 is provided with a fourth threaded hole corresponding to the second through hole. The first fastener connects the upper liquid pipe clamping block 22, the stop straightening block 18 and the straightening stop bracket 17 through the first threaded hole, the first through hole and the third threaded hole. The second fastener connects the lower liquid pipe clamping block 21, the stop straightening block 18 and the straightening stop bracket 17 through the second threaded hole, the second through hole and the fourth threaded hole.

[0111] Please see Figure 11The inlet pipe 20 and outlet pipe 30 are connected to the heat sink 70 in the chassis 40, providing the heat sink 70 with low-temperature coolant and carrying away the heat from the high-temperature coolant in the outlet pipe 30, so that the coolant temperature in the inlet pipe 20 is lower than the coolant temperature in the outlet pipe 30. Preferably, the chassis 40 houses a motherboard 50, on which a processor 51 is mounted, and the heat sink 70 is attached to the processor 51.

[0112] Understandably, at least one wire harness fixing clamp is provided at the middle of the fixed end 11 corresponding to the correction stop frame 17 and / or the stop correction block 18. A receiving gap is formed between the wire harness fixing clamp and the side wall of the fixed end 11, and the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 are fixed within the receiving gap. In this way, the stop correction block 18 and the lower liquid pipe clamping block 21 can also be reused to fix the wire harness. The stop correction block 18 and the lower liquid pipe clamping block 21 are provided with wire holes. The wire harness passes through the wire holes and extends outward from the port through hole 14 of the outer sealing end plate 13. This allows the wire harness to be set between the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30, improving the compactness and rationality of the structure. The wire harness can provide power to the cold plate heat sink 70.

[0113] Please see Figure 10 , Figure 11 The liquid-cooled server also includes a chassis 40, a cold plate heat sink 70, an inlet pipe 20, and an outlet pipe 30. The chassis 40 is provided with mounting holes, and the extendable liquid cooling docking structure is installed in the mounting holes. The matching bracket 4 of the extendable liquid cooling docking structure is fixed inside the chassis 40. The fixed bracket 1 of the extendable liquid cooling docking structure is detachably connected to the matching bracket 4 so that the fixed end 11 of the fixed bracket 1 extends into the chassis 40. The blind insertion end 12 of the fixed bracket 1 protrudes out of the chassis 40. The cold plate heat sink 70 is located inside the chassis 40 and abuts against the heat dissipation element inside the chassis 40. The liquid inlet pipe 20 is connected to the cold plate heat sink 70 and fixed to the fixed end 11 and extends to the blind insertion end 12. The port of the liquid inlet pipe 20 is clamped by the liquid pipe clamping block 2 of the extendable liquid cooling docking structure to achieve a sealed connection with the heat dissipation pipe device 60. The liquid outlet pipe 30 is connected to the cold plate heat sink 70 and fixed to the fixed end 11 and extends to the blind insertion end 12. The port of the liquid outlet pipe 30 is clamped by the liquid pipe clamping block 2 of the extendable liquid cooling docking structure to achieve a sealed connection with the heat dissipation pipe device 60.

[0114] Preferably, the chassis 40 contains a motherboard 50, on which a processor 51 is mounted. The processor 51 is the heat dissipation component, and a heat sink 70 is attached to the processor 51.

A liquid pipe clamping block 2 is provided to clamp the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30. The connection position between the fixed bracket 1 and the matching bracket 4 ensures that the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 are sealed and connected to the heat dissipation pipe device 60. There is no need to customize and set up a fixed cold plate heat sink 70 and an inlet / outlet pipe structure inside the chassis 40, which increases the feasibility of liquid cooling plate support schemes. Under the unchanged chassis 40 architecture, the ports of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 30 are sealed and connected to the heat dissipation pipe device 60, which reduces the development cost of the chassis 40 and also saves the adapter pipe between the chassis 40 and the heat dissipation pipe device 60.
