Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of liquid-cooled cabinets, and particularly relates to a signal adapter box for a liquid-cooled cabinet and an integrated platform for optoelectronic and liquid synchronous blind plugging devices. Background Art

[0002] Conventional blind plugging device racks usually achieve blind plugging between the upper-mounted chassis and the signal adapter box of the liquid-cooled cabinet under the guiding structure reserved on the device mounting rack based on S6 / S7 frame-type optoelectronic hybrid connectors. At the same time, forced or natural air cooling is carried out according to the power consumption of the upper-mounted chassis and the external environmental conditions. Finally, the optoelectronic signal centralized interconnection and transmission between the chassis and the system are realized, which can effectively avoid the cable crossing phenomenon caused by manually connecting, bundling, and fixing the cables reserved at the tail or front end of the upper-mounted chassis through a trailing cable rack. In addition, with the help of a Class B locking device, the assisted insertion and extraction of the upper-mounted chassis can be quickly realized, which reduces to a certain extent the problems existing in the device mounting rack, such as difficult operation, low reliability, poor safety, insufficient space utilization, and lack of aesthetics.

[0003] With the increasing integration and complexity of the device mounting rack system, in order to avoid abnormal failures such as downtime of the upper-mounted chassis due to heat accumulation, the upper-mounted chassis has gradually replaced the original air cooling with liquid cooling for heat dissipation and environmental control. For example, the application number 202211479716.5 discloses an installation structure for synchronous electro-hydraulic connection of a liquid-cooled cabinet, including a quick installation rack, a liquid-cooled plug-in box, and a cabinet skeleton. A quick installation rack is provided on the cabinet skeleton, and the liquid-cooled plug-in box is inserted into the corresponding quick installation rack. An electro-hydraulic connection box is arranged at the rear side of each quick installation rack. The electro-hydraulic connection box is provided with a blind plug connector plug to realize signal transmission of types such as circuits, optical fibers, and radio frequencies. The electro-hydraulic connection box is also provided with a blind plug liquid-cooled connector plug to realize the automatic connection or disconnection of the liquid-cooled working medium when the liquid-cooled plug-in box is inserted into or withdrawn from the quick installation rack. The defects of this installation structure are: (1) The blind plug liquid-cooled connector plugs on each quick installation rack need to be connected to the supply and return liquid main ports on the cabinet through corresponding liquid-cooled pipelines. However, a signal adapter box needs to be arranged at the rear side of the cabinet, and the space is relatively compact, making it difficult to provide additional space for the installation and fixation of the liquid-cooled pipelines. Even if there are conditions for the above operations, there are still problems such as complex liquid-cooled pipelines and difficult operation; (2) Each quick installation rack needs to be respectively provided with a corresponding electro-hydraulic connection box, and the blind plug connector plugs on the electro-hydraulic connection box need to be connected to the signal adapter box at the rear side of the cabinet through corresponding cables, which is not conducive to the lightweight and integrated design of the cabinet and limits the further popularization and application of the blind plug device mounting rack. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the defects existing in the installation structure of the existing synchronous electro-hydraulic connection, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a signal adapter box for a liquid-cooled cabinet and an optoelectronic-hydraulic synchronous blind plugging device integration platform.

[0005] To achieve the foregoing purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A signal adapter box includes an optoelectronic-hydraulic blind mating plate 101. A number of connector groups are provided on the collision surface of the optoelectronic plate blind mating plate. Each connector group includes a blind plug signal connector 1011, a blind plug inlet liquid connector 1012, and a blind plug return liquid connector 1013. Inside the optoelectronic blind mating plate, there are a liquid inlet flow channel communicating with the blind plug inlet liquid connector and a liquid return flow channel communicating with the blind plug return liquid connector; on the signal adapter box, there are two external fluid connectors 102 and an external signal connector 103. The two external fluid connectors are respectively connected to the inlet of the liquid inlet flow channel and the outlet of the liquid return flow channel through liquid cooling pipelines located inside the signal adapter box, and the blind plug signal connector is connected to the external signal connector through a cable arranged inside the signal adapter box.

[0006] The signal adapter box proposed by the present invention has the following advantages:

[0007] (1) The signal adapter box is equipped with an optoelectronic-hydraulic blind mating plate with a function of a water and electricity wall, which not only ensures the centralized interconnection and external transfer of optoelectronic signals, but also realizes the distribution of liquid cooling flow and the transfer of liquid supply and return. By adding a liquid inlet flow channel and a liquid return flow channel inside the optoelectronic-hydraulic blind mating plate to replace the liquid cooling pipelines between the blind plug liquid connectors and the external fluid connectors in the traditional cabinet, only the liquid cooling pipelines between the external fluid connectors and the inlets of the liquid inlet flow channel and the outlets of the liquid return flow channel on the back of the blind mating plate are retained, greatly reducing the number of liquid cooling pipelines, thereby greatly reducing the demand for installation space;

[0008] (2) Compared with the method of equipping each equipment mounting rack in the traditional cabinet with an optoelectronic blind mating plate, the signal adapter box integrates an optoelectronic-hydraulic blind mating plate with multiple connector groups on the side of the signal adapter box facing the equipment mounting rack. When the signal adapter box is installed at the rear of the cabinet, one optoelectronic-hydraulic blind mating plate can meet the mating requirements of the liquid cooling plug-in boxes inserted in multiple equipment mounting racks, which is conducive to the lightweight and integrated design of the cabinet;

[0009] (3) According to the heat dissipation requirements of different liquid cooling plug-in boxes, the liquid inlet flow channel and the liquid return flow channel inside the optoelectronic-hydraulic blind mating plate can be optimized in advance. For example, for a liquid cooling plug-in box with high heat dissipation requirements, the branch flow channel communicating with the corresponding blind plug fluid connector is designed with a large cross-section, and for a liquid cooling plug-in box with low heat dissipation requirements, the branch flow channel communicating with the corresponding blind plug fluid connector is designed with a small cross-section, so as to achieve efficient heat dissipation of multiple liquid cooling plug-in boxes;

[0010] (4) With the help of the optoelectronic-hydraulic blind mating board, the present invention concentrates optoelectronic-hydraulic signals on the signal adapter box, avoiding the complicated distribution of various optoelectronic-hydraulic pipelines at the rear side of the cabinet. Moreover, according to the different functions of the entire system for externally transmitting optoelectronic-hydraulic signals, only by replacing different types of signal adapter boxes can the transmission requirements of different functional signals be met, without major modifications to the entire cabinet, thereby improving the applicable range of the cabinet.

[0011] In one embodiment, a plurality of adapter plates 104 are convexly provided on the collision surface of the optoelectronic-hydraulic blind mating board 101, and the blind plug signal connectors are installed on the corresponding adapter plates, which can compensate for the inconsistent height of the separation surface caused by the different insertion distances between the signal connectors and the liquid cooling connectors.

[0012] In one embodiment, a convex portion 105 is provided on one side of the signal adapter box. A groove 1051 is provided on the back surface of the convex portion. This groove is used as a weight-reducing groove, and by means of the groove, the convex portion forms a handheld portion, thereby quickly realizing the disassembly and assembly of the signal adapter box on the equipment mounting rack.

[0013] In one embodiment, the convex portion 105 is provided on one side of the optoelectronic-hydraulic blind mating board, which is not only convenient for processing, but also can increase the connection area between the optoelectronic-hydraulic blind mating board and the equipment mounting rack by means of the convex portion, thereby improving the connection strength.

[0014] In one embodiment, the external signal connector and the external fluid connector are arranged on the back plate 106 of the signal adapter box that is relatively distributed with the optoelectronic-hydraulic blind plate. At this time, this back plate serves as an external adapter board for optoelectronic-hydraulic signals. The external signal connector and the external fluid connector extend backward along the insertion direction of the liquid cooling chassis. Since the back plate and the optoelectronic-hydraulic blind plate are relatively distributed in the insertion direction of the liquid cooling chassis, by pre-designing, the connection line between the position of the external fluid connector on the back plate and the positions of the inlet of the liquid inlet channel and the outlet of the liquid return channel on the back surface of the blind mating board is parallel to the aforementioned insertion direction, which not only minimizes the length of the liquid cooling pipeline, but also does not require bending of the liquid cooling pipeline between the two.

[0015] In one embodiment, the connector group further includes a plurality of positioning pins or pin holes provided on the collision surface of the optoelectronic-hydraulic blind mating board 101.

[0016] In one embodiment, a cable laying rod 1091 and a cable laying board 1092 are provided inside the signal adapter box for realizing the bundling and fixing of various cables in the signal adapter box.

[0017] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is also as follows: An integrated platform for an optoelectronic-hydraulic synchronous blind plugging device, comprising a signal adapter box 10 and a plurality of device mounting frames 20. The collision surface of the optoelectronic-hydraulic blind mating board of the signal adapter box is connected to the rear side of the device mounting frame, and each connector group corresponds to a device mounting frame; the device mounting frame 20 includes a bottom plate 201 and two side plates 202 distributed in a first direction perpendicular to the insertion direction of the liquid-cooled chassis. A guiding member extending along the insertion direction of the liquid-cooled chassis is provided on the bottom plate or the side plate, and a locking device 2013 adapted to the handle on the front side of the liquid-cooled chassis 30 is provided at the front end of the bottom plate.

[0018] The present invention uses the optoelectronic-hydraulic blind mating board as a part of the structure of the signal adapter box, which realizes the coupling connection between the device mounting frame and the signal adapter box in terms of structure, improves the overall matching accuracy and structural stiffness of the product, and is more conducive to realizing the lightweight and miniaturization of the product.

[0019] In one embodiment, two mounting brackets 203 distributed in the first direction are provided at the bottom of the device mounting frame, and a plurality of shock absorbers 204 are provided between the mounting brackets and the device mounting frame for vibration isolation protection of the product under complex mechanical working conditions, preventing the influence of vibration and shock on the quality of optoelectronic-hydraulic signal transmission of the product. The board serves as the bottom plate of the signal adapter box.

[0020] In one embodiment, the bottom plate of the lowermost device mounting frame is provided with a convex plate 2012 extending backward, and this convex plate serves as the bottom plate of the signal adapter box, further increasing the coupling connection area between the device mounting frame and the signal adapter box in terms of structure.

In order to understand the technical means of the present invention more clearly, it can be implemented according to the content of the description.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, in this embodiment, a signal adapter box 10 includes an optoelectronic liquid blind mating board 101. A number of connector groups are provided on the collision surface of the optoelectronic board blind mating board. Each connector group includes a blind plug signal connector 1011, a blind plug liquid inlet connector 1012, and a blind plug liquid return connector 1013. An inlet liquid flow channel communicating with the blind plug liquid inlet connector and a return liquid flow channel communicating with the blind plug liquid return connector are provided inside the optoelectronic blind mating board; two external fluid connectors 102 for liquid supply and return and an external signal connector 103 for external transfer of optical and electrical signals are provided on the signal adapter box. The two external fluid connectors are respectively connected to the inlet of the inlet liquid flow channel and the outlet of the return liquid flow channel through liquid cooling pipelines located inside the signal adapter box. The blind plug signal connector is connected to the external signal connector through a cable arranged inside the signal adapter box. The signal adapter box proposed in this embodiment is equipped with an optoelectronic liquid blind mating board with a function of a water and electricity wall, which not only ensures the centralized interconnection and external transfer of optoelectronic signals, but also realizes the distribution of liquid cooling flow and the transfer of liquid supply and return. By adding an inlet liquid flow channel and a return liquid flow channel inside the optoelectronic liquid blind mating board to replace the liquid cooling pipelines between the blind plug liquid connectors and the external fluid connectors in the traditional cabinet, only the liquid cooling pipelines between the external fluid connectors and the inlets of the inlet liquid flow channel and the outlets of the return liquid flow channel on the back of the blind mating board are retained, greatly reducing the number of liquid cooling pipelines, thereby greatly reducing the demand for installation space; at the same time, compared with the method of equipping an optoelectronic blind mating board for each equipment mounting rack in the traditional cabinet, in this embodiment, the optoelectronic liquid blind mating board with multiple connector groups is integrated on the side of the signal adapter box facing the equipment mounting rack. When the signal adapter box is installed at the rear of the cabinet, one optoelectronic liquid blind mating board can meet the docking requirements of the liquid cooling chassis inserted in multiple equipment mounting racks, which is conducive to the lightweight and integrated design of the cabinet; at the same time, according to the heat dissipation requirements of different liquid cooling chassis, the inlet liquid flow channel and the return liquid flow channel inside the optoelectronic liquid blind mating board can be optimized in advance. For example, for a liquid cooling chassis with high heat dissipation requirements, the branch flow channel communicating with the corresponding blind plug fluid connector is designed with a large cross-section, and for a liquid cooling chassis with low heat dissipation requirements, the branch flow channel communicating with the corresponding blind plug fluid connector is designed with a small cross-section, so as to achieve efficient heat dissipation of multiple liquid cooling chassis; at the same time, in this embodiment, the optoelectronic liquid signals are concentrated on the signal adapter box by means of the optoelectronic liquid blind mating board, avoiding the complicated distribution of various optoelectronic liquid pipelines at the rear of the cabinet. Moreover, according to the different functions of the optoelectronic liquid signals transmitted externally by the entire system, only by replacing different types of signal adapter boxes can the transmission requirements of different function signals be met, without major modifications to the entire cabinet, thereby improving the applicable range of the cabinet.

[0034] In this embodiment, the blind plug signal connector is one of an electrical connector, an optical connector, and an optoelectronic hybrid connector. According to the signal function requirements of different liquid cooling chassis, the corresponding signal adapter box can be freely replaced.

[0035] In this embodiment, the blind plugging liquid inlet connector 1012 and the blind plugging liquid return connector 1013 in the same connector group are respectively located on the left and right sides of the blind plugging signal connector. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the positions of the blind plugging liquid inlet connector and the blind plugging liquid return connector relative to the blind plugging signal connector can be adjusted according to the requirements of the liquid cooling plug-in box.

[0036] In this embodiment, the blind plugging signal connector, the blind plugging liquid inlet connector, and the blind plugging liquid return connector with floating functions are installed on the optoelectronic liquid blind mating board. At the same time, to make up for the inconsistent height of the separation surface caused by the different insertion distances between the signal connector and the liquid cooling connector, a transfer board 104 is convexly provided on the collision surface of the optoelectronic liquid blind mating board 101, and the transfer board is used to install and fix the blind plugging signal connector.

[0037] In this embodiment, a convex portion 105 is provided on one side of the signal adapter box. A groove 1051 is provided on the back surface of the convex portion. The groove is used as a weight reduction groove, and a handle portion is formed by means of the groove, so as to quickly realize the disassembly and assembly of the signal adapter box on the equipment mounting rack. Further, a convex portion 105 is provided on one side of the optoelectronic liquid blind mating board, which is not only convenient for processing, but also can increase the connection area between the optoelectronic liquid blind mating board and the equipment mounting rack by means of the convex portion, thereby improving the connection strength.

[0038] In this embodiment, the external signal connector and the external fluid connector are arranged on the back board 106 of the signal adapter box that is distributed relatively to the optoelectronic liquid blind board. At this time, the back board serves as the external transfer board for the optoelectronic liquid signal. The external signal connector and the external fluid connector extend backward along the insertion direction of the liquid cooling plug-in box. Since the back board and the optoelectronic liquid blind board are distributed relatively in the insertion direction of the liquid cooling plug-in box, by pre-designing, the connection line between the position of the external fluid connector on the back board and the positions of the liquid inlet flow channel inlet and the liquid return flow channel outlet on the back surface of the blind mating board is parallel to the aforementioned insertion direction, which not only minimizes the length of the liquid cooling pipeline, but also does not require bending of the liquid cooling pipeline between the two. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the top board 107 or the side board 108 of the signal adapter box can be used as the external transfer board for the optoelectronic liquid signal.

[0039] In this embodiment, various types of cable laying members are provided inside the signal adapter box, such as a cable laying rod 1091 and a cable laying board 1092, for realizing the bundling and fixing of various cables in the signal adapter box.

[0040] In this embodiment, the blind plugging signal connector and the blind plugging fluid connector are floatingly installed on the optoelectronic liquid blind mating board, and the floating amount is ±0.5 mm. At the same time, the blind plugging signal connector and the blind plugging fluid connector extend forward along the insertion direction of the liquid cooling plug-in box.

[0041] By adjusting the positions of several connector groups on the optoelectronic-fluid blind mating board, the signal adapter box proposed in this embodiment can be applicable to any existing type of equipment mounting rack to form an optoelectronic-fluid synchronous blind plugging equipment integration platform. Please refer to Figure 3 , in this embodiment, an optoelectronic-fluid synchronous blind plugging equipment integration platform includes several equipment mounting racks 20. The direction of inserting the liquid cooling chassis into the equipment mounting rack is defined as the front-back direction, the first direction perpendicular to the inserting direction is defined as the left-right direction, and the second direction perpendicular to the inserting direction is defined as the up-down direction. The collision surfaces of the optoelectronic-fluid blind mating board of the signal adapter box are all connected to the rear sides of several equipment mounting racks, and each connector group corresponds to one equipment mounting rack. In this embodiment, the optoelectronic-fluid blind mating board is used as a part of the structural components of the signal adapter box, which realizes the coupling connection between the equipment mounting rack and the signal adapter box in terms of structure, improves the overall matching accuracy and structural stiffness of the product, and is more convenient for realizing the lightweight and miniaturization of the product.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4 , in this embodiment, the equipment integration platform includes four equipment mounting racks 20. Each equipment mounting rack includes a bottom plate 201 and two side plates 202 distributed along the first direction. The aforementioned four equipment mounting racks are distributed both along the first direction and along the second direction, and adjacent two equipment mounting racks distributed along the first direction share a side plate, and adjacent two equipment mounting racks distributed along the second direction share a bottom plate, so that the view projection of several equipment mounting racks along the inserting direction is in a grid shape. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, several equipment mounting racks can be distributed only along the second direction, or only along the first direction, or distributed at intervals along the second direction, or distributed at intervals along the first direction. At this time, only the distribution positions of several connector groups on the optoelectronic-fluid blind mating board need to be adjusted so that each connector group corresponds to one equipment mounting rack to meet different usage scenarios.

[0043] In this embodiment, several threaded holes 1014 distributed in a "field" shape are provided on the optoelectronic-fluid blind mating board 101, and the coupling connection between the four equipment mounting racks and the signal adapter box is realized through the cooperation of screws and threaded holes. The present invention does not limit the detachable connection method between the optoelectronic-fluid blind mating board and the equipment mounting rack. In other embodiments of the present invention, other types of detachable methods can be used to replace the bolt connection method.

[0044] In this embodiment, two low-damping guiding members 2011 extending along the inserting direction of the liquid cooling chassis and distributed along the first direction are provided on the bottom plate 201 of the equipment mounting rack. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the two low-damping guiding members can be provided on the two side plates 202 of the equipment mounting rack, and other types of guiding members can also be used.

[0045] In this embodiment, two mounting pallets 203 distributed along the first direction are provided at the bottom of the equipment mounting rack, and a plurality of shock absorbers 204 are provided between the mounting pallets and the equipment mounting rack for vibration isolation protection of products under complex mechanical working conditions, preventing the influence on the transmission quality of product photoelectric liquid signals under vibration shock conditions.

[0046] In this embodiment, a convex plate 2012 extending backward is provided on the bottom plate of the lowermost equipment mounting rack, and this convex plate serves as the bottom plate of the signal adapter box, further increasing the coupling connection area between the equipment mounting rack and the signal adapter box in terms of structure.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the liquid-cooled card cage 30 includes a box body 301, a handle 302 (such as a type B handle) is provided on the front side of the box body, and a locking device 2013 (such as a type B locking device) adapted to the aforementioned handle is provided at the front end of the bottom plate of the equipment mounting rack. Through the cooperation of the handle and the locking device, the insertion and extraction forces generated by the blind plugging of the blind plug signal connector and the blind plug liquid-cooled connector respectively during the blind plugging process can be overcome, realizing the assisted insertion and extraction of the liquid-cooled chassis; on the rear side of the box body, there are provided a blind plug signal connector 303, a blind plug liquid-cooled connector 304, and two positioning pins 305. The positioning pins are used for plugging and mating with the pin holes 1015 on the photoelectric liquid blind mating plate to complete the secondary guidance after the first guidance. The plugging and mating accuracy between the two is ±0.3 mm, further improving the accuracy of the synchronous blind plugging of photoelectric liquid. Preferably, the plugging and mating between the positioning pin and the positioning hole should be ahead of the plugging and mating between the blind plug signal connector and the blind plug signal connector adapted thereto, and the plugging and mating between the blind plug liquid-cooled connector and the blind plug liquid-cooled connector adapted thereto.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the liquid-cooled card cage and the corresponding equipment mounting rack adopt a blind plug docking assembly method. The liquid-cooled card cage 30 slides into along the low-damping guiding member to achieve the first guidance. The positioning pins 304 on the rear side of the liquid-cooled card cage first perform plugging and mating with the pin holes 1015 on the photoelectric liquid blind mating plate to achieve the secondary guidance. After the secondary guidance is in place, through the fine plugging and mating between the blind plug signal connector and the blind plug signal connector adapted thereto, and the fine plugging and mating between the blind plug inlet connector, the blind plug return connector and the blind plug liquid-cooled connector adapted thereto to achieve the third guidance. After being inserted in place, the liquid-cooled card cage is locked and limited by the locking device, finally ensuring the successful interconnection and transmission of photoelectric liquid signals.

[0049] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention.
