[0002] The current server spray cooling system mainly consists of a phase change heat transfer module and an atomization injection module to form a collaborative heat dissipation system. Its working principle is based on the physical property that a large amount of heat is absorbed during the phase change process of the cooling medium from liquid to gas on the heated surface, so as to achieve the heat energy dissipation of server components. In the related art, the server expands the effective spray coverage area through the distributed layout of array-type atomizing nozzles to enhance the overall cooling capacity.

[0022] In order to enable those skilled in the art of the present technology to better understand the solution of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] Embodiments of the present application provide a liquid-cooled heat dissipation device and a control method. The device will be described in detail in combination with the structure and working principle of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation device.
[0024] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a liquid-cooled heat dissipation device is provided, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, it includes a heat shield 1, a heat conducting plate 3, a cooling structure 4 and a control system; the heat shield 1 is adapted to cover the outer periphery of the component to be cooled 2; the heat conducting plate 3 is arranged on the heat shield 1 and is in heat conduction cooperation with the component to be cooled 2; and the heat conducting plate 3 is divided into a plurality of heat conduction zones 31; a temperature detection mechanism 32 is correspondingly arranged on one heat conduction zone 31; the cooling structure 4 is arranged on the heat shield 1; it includes a plurality of spraying zones 422, at least one heat conduction zone 31 corresponds to one spraying zone 422, and the spraying zone 422 is adapted to spray a coolant onto the corresponding heat conduction zone 31; the control system is communicatively connected to the temperature detection mechanism 32 and the spraying zone 422, and controls the corresponding spraying zone 422 to spray the coolant according to the temperature data of the temperature detection mechanism 32.
[0025] Through the present application, since the heat conducting plate 3 is arranged in heat conduction cooperation with the component to be cooled 2, the heat generated by the component to be cooled 2 during operation can be efficiently transferred to the heat conducting plate 3; by arranging a plurality of heat conduction zones 31 on the heat conducting plate 3, each heat conduction zone 31 respectively undertakes the heat conduction task of different positions of the component to be cooled 2, realizing the zonal management of heat, dissipating heat in a targeted manner, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency; and a plurality of spraying zones 422 are correspondingly arranged on the cooling structure 4, and at least one spraying zone 422 can be matched with each heat conduction zone 31; since a temperature detection mechanism 32 is correspondingly arranged on each heat conduction zone 31, the temperature data of each heat conduction zone 31 can be monitored in real time, and by arranging a control system to dynamically adjust and control the corresponding spraying zone 422 to spray an appropriate amount of coolant according to the temperature data of each heat conduction zone 31, the technical problem in the related art that the heat distribution inside the server is uneven, affecting the overall efficiency of the heat dissipation system can be solved. It not only realizes the accurate and efficient cooling of the heat conduction zone 31, but also achieves the accurate heat dissipation according to the heat difference generated at different positions of the component to be cooled 2, effectively ensuring the uniformity of heat dissipation.
[0026] In a specific embodiment, a sealed connection method is adopted between the heat conducting plate 3, the heat shield 1 and the cooling structure 4, which can form a closed fluid isolation environment, ensuring that the coolant sprayed during the operation of the cooling structure 4 is completely restricted between the heat conducting plate 3, the heat shield 1 and the cooling structure 4, avoiding the contact of the component to be cooled 2 due to coolant leakage or splashing, thereby while ensuring the cooling efficiency, effectively preventing the component to be cooled 2 from suffering performance attenuation or structural damage due to accidental contact with the coolant, not only ensuring the stability of heat exchange, but also improving the operation reliability of the system through the physical isolation mechanism.
[0027] In a specific embodiment, the temperature detection mechanism 32 is a flexible film temperature sensor.
[0028] In a specific embodiment, the component to be cooled 2 can be an integrated circuit of a server.
[0029] In one embodiment, the cooling structure 4 includes a fixing frame 41 and a liquid storage chamber 42; the fixing frame 41 is arranged on the heat insulation cover 1; the liquid storage chamber 42 is fixed to the side of the fixing frame 41; as Figure 3 shown, the liquid storage chamber 42 includes a liquid supply area 421 and a spraying area 422 that communicate with each other. The spraying area 422 is arranged on the side close to the heat conducting plate 3, and a plurality of spraying holes 423 are provided on the side of the spraying area 422 close to the heat conducting plate 3; a first valve 43 is arranged between the spraying area 422 and the liquid supply area 421. The first valve 43 is communicatively connected with the control system, and the control system controls the valve opening of the corresponding first valve 43 according to the temperature data of the temperature detection mechanism 32.
[0030] By providing the fixing frame 41, it helps to fix the liquid storage chamber 42; by providing the liquid supply area 421 on the liquid storage chamber 42 to supply the cooling liquid to the spraying area 422, and spraying holes 423 are provided on the side of the spraying area 422 close to the heat conducting plate 3. After the cooling liquid in the liquid supply area 421 supplies the spraying area 422, the cooling liquid in the spraying area 422 is sprayed onto the heat conducting plate 3 through the spraying holes 423 to dissipate heat from the corresponding heat conducting area 31 on the heat conducting plate 3; and because a first valve 43 is arranged between the spraying area 422 and the liquid supply area 421, the control system calculates the required flow rate of the cooling liquid for the heat conducting area 31 according to the temperature data of the heat conducting area 31, and then controls the valve opening of the first valve 43 to ensure that the cooling liquid can be sprayed onto the heat conducting plate 3 at the most appropriate flow rate, which not only ensures the heat dissipation effect but also avoids waste of the cooling liquid; it not only improves the heat dissipation efficiency but also realizes the refined management of the heat dissipation process through intelligent control.
[0031] In a specific embodiment, the fixing frame 41 is made of a transparent material, which is convenient for observing the internal situation of the cooling structure 4.
[0032] In a specific embodiment, the side of the fixing frame 41 close to the heat conducting plate 3 is coated with a 2-μm-thick fluoropolymer as a hydrophobic layer; the side of the liquid storage chamber 42 close to the heat conducting plate 3 is coated with a 2-μm-thick fluoropolymer as a hydrophobic layer.
[0033] In a specific embodiment, there are two liquid storage chambers 42, and the two liquid storage chambers 42 are respectively arranged oppositely on both sides of the fixing frame 41 along the first direction. Specifically, each liquid storage chamber 42 is provided with one or more spraying areas 422, and the number of spraying areas 422 provided on each liquid storage chamber 42 is not limited. One, two or three spraying areas 422 can be provided on one liquid storage chamber 42; when there are multiple spraying areas 422, the multiple spraying areas 422 are arranged in sequence along the second direction, and the multiple spraying areas 422 are all connected to the liquid supply area 421. Each spraying area 422 is correspondingly provided with a first valve 43; specifically, each spraying area 422 is correspondingly arranged with a heat conducting area 31.
[0034] In a specific embodiment, the first valve 43 is a solenoid valve.
[0035] In a specific embodiment, a plurality of spray holes 423 are uniformly arranged on the side wall of the spray area 422. When the coolant is delivered into the spray area 422, it will be uniformly ejected outward in a stable and consistent state through these uniformly arranged spray holes 423, forming a large number of fine spray particles. The spray particles quickly absorb heat and evaporate when contacting the heat conducting plate 3, taking away a large amount of heat, so that the temperature of the corresponding heat conducting area 31 can be rapidly reduced.
[0036] In one embodiment, the cooling structure 4 includes a fixed frame 41 and a liquid storage chamber 42; the fixed frame 41 is arranged on the heat insulation cover 1; the liquid storage chamber 42 is fixed on the side of the fixed frame 41; it includes a liquid supply area 421 and a spray area 422, and the spray area 422 is arranged on the side close to the heat conducting plate 3; the liquid supply area 421 is adapted to be connected to an external coolant storage.
[0037] By connecting the liquid supply area 421 to an external coolant storage, when the coolant in the liquid supply area 421 decreases due to evaporation or use, the external coolant storage can replenish new coolant to the liquid supply area 421 to maintain the coolant volume in the liquid supply area 421 within a suitable range; since the coolant may have a reduced heat dissipation performance due to factors such as temperature rise and impurity accumulation after long-term use, when the temperature of the coolant in the liquid supply area 421 is too high or the performance does not meet the heat dissipation requirements, the coolant in the liquid supply area 421 can be replaced as a whole, so as to ensure that the coolant in the liquid storage chamber 42 always maintains the best working state and ensure that the liquid storage chamber 42 can continuously and stably supply suitable coolant.
[0038] In one embodiment, the liquid storage chamber 42 abuts against the heat conducting plate 3, and a second valve is provided at the water outlet of the liquid storage chamber 42; a pressure detection mechanism is provided in the liquid storage chamber 42, and the control system is communicatively connected to the second valve and the pressure detection mechanism. The control system controls the valve opening of the second valve according to the temperature data of the temperature detection mechanism 32 adjacent to the liquid storage chamber 42, the pressure data in the pressure detection mechanism, and the pressure difference before and after the valve of the second valve.
[0039] Since the liquid storage chamber 42 is in contact with the heat conduction plate 3, the heat of the heat conduction plate 3 can be conducted to the liquid storage chamber 42. Through the circulating flow of the coolant inside the liquid storage chamber 42, the heat can be further taken away and dissipated into the external environment, thereby realizing further heat dissipation of the heat conduction plate 3. And a second valve is provided at the water outlet of the liquid storage chamber 42. The control system controls the valve opening of the second valve according to the temperature data of the temperature detection mechanism 32 adjacent to the liquid storage chamber 42, the pressure data in the pressure detection mechanism, and the pressure difference before and after the valve of the second valve, so as to realize the control of the flow of the coolant in the liquid storage chamber 42 according to the temperature of the heat conduction plate 3, and can realize the dynamic balance of temperature - pressure - flow.
[0040] In a specific embodiment, the second valve is a solenoid valve.
[0041] In one embodiment, the cooling structure 4 further includes a pumping module 44, and the pumping module 44 is connected between the liquid supply area 421 and the external coolant storage.
[0042] By providing the pumping module 44, continuous and sufficient power support can be provided for the flow of the coolant in the liquid supply area 421.
[0043] In one embodiment, the cooling structure 4 further includes a plurality of cleaning modules, and the cleaning modules correspond to the spraying areas 422 one by one, and the cleaning modules are adapted to clean the spraying holes 423.
[0044] In practical applications, since impurities or scale are likely to accumulate in the spraying holes 423, which may lead to blockage. By providing corresponding cleaning modules for the spraying areas 422, the dirt and blockages in the spraying holes 423 can be removed in time, effectively preventing the occurrence of blockage problems in the spraying holes 423. This not only ensures the unobstructedness of the spraying holes 423, but also ensures the smooth spraying of the entire spraying area 422, making the spraying effect more uniform and stable.
[0045] In one embodiment, the cleaning module is an ultrasonic vibration module.
[0046] By setting the cleaning module as an ultrasonic vibration module, through generating high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations, it can penetrate into the interior of the spraying holes 423, efficiently peel off and remove the dirt, scale and impurities attached to the inner walls of the spraying holes 423. This not only enhances the cleaning effect and realizes the deep cleaning of the spraying holes 423, but also avoids the mechanical damage that the traditional cleaning method may cause to the spraying holes 423, thus ensuring the stable long-term use performance of the spraying holes 423 and extending their service life.
[0047] In a specific embodiment, the control system is communicatively connected to the ultrasonic vibration module. Whenever the timing of the control system reaches the first preset time interval, a control signal is automatically triggered to control the ultrasonic vibration module to start running. After receiving the control instruction, the ultrasonic vibration module will continuously work for the duration of the second preset time to complete the established cleaning task, ensuring that the ultrasonic vibration module can perform periodic operations at precise time intervals and realizing the regular cleaning of the spray holes 423.
[0048] Specifically, the first preset time and the second preset time are not limited. The first preset time can be 24 hours, 48 hours, or 36 hours; the second preset time can be 5 seconds, 10 seconds, or 15 seconds.
[0049] In a specific embodiment, a prediction system based on digital twin is used to predict the clogging risk of the spray holes 423 through pressure fluctuation spectrum analysis. When it is determined that there is a clogging risk in the spray holes 423, the control system controls the cleaning module to start and clean the spray holes 423.
[0050] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the cooling structure 4 further includes a condenser 45. The condenser 45 is located above the heat conducting plate 3 and is disposed within the fixed frame 41; the condenser 45 includes a liquid inlet 451 and a liquid outlet. The liquid inlet 451 is oriented towards the heat conducting plate 3, and the liquid outlet is connected to the liquid storage chamber 42.
[0051] Since the condenser 45 is located above the heat conducting plate 3 and the liquid inlet 451 of the condenser 45 is oriented towards the heat conducting plate 3, when the coolant absorbs heat on the heat conducting plate 3 and is converted into a gaseous state, it rises and directly enters the interior of the condenser 45; inside the condenser 45, through heat exchange, the gaseous coolant gradually releases the heat it carries and condenses back into a liquid form, and then the liquid coolant flows into the liquid storage chamber 42 connected to the liquid outlet of the condenser 45, realizing the recovery and reuse of the coolant.
[0052] In a specific embodiment, the liquid outlet is connected to the liquid supply area 421 of the liquid storage chamber 42. The coolant flowing out of the liquid outlet flows into the liquid supply area 421 of the liquid storage chamber 42, providing a reliable guarantee for subsequent recycling or secondary cooling treatment, avoiding affecting the coolant flow rate in the spray area 422 of the liquid storage chamber 42, and ensuring the precise control of the drainage flow rate in the spray area 422.
[0053] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the condenser 45 includes an inclined plate 452. The liquid outlet is disposed on the inclined plate 452, and the distance between the inclined plate 452 and the heat conducting plate 3 gradually decreases in the direction close to the liquid storage chamber 42.
[0054] Since the liquid outlet is provided on the inclined plate 452, and along the direction close to the liquid storage bin 42, the distance between the inclined plate 452 and the heat conducting plate 3 gradually decreases, which can guide the flow direction of the coolant, so that the coolant flowing out of the liquid outlet can flow along the surface of the inclined plate 452 towards the liquid storage bin 42, thus effectively ensuring the stability and reliability of the coolant recovery process.
[0055] In a specific embodiment, the condenser 45 further includes a housing 454 and a plurality of condenser tubes 455. The inclined plate 452 is fixed to the top of the fixed frame 41, and the housing 454 is fixed to the inclined plate 452. The plurality of condenser tubes 455 are arranged at intervals in sequence along the second direction. And the condenser tubes 455 extend along the first direction and are fixed inside the housing 454. The housing 454 includes a bottom plate, the bottom plate is arranged on the side close to the heat conducting plate 3, and a plurality of through holes are provided on the bottom plate, and the plurality of through holes are uniformly arranged on the bottom plate. The through holes serve as the liquid inlets 451, and the gaseous coolant enters the condenser 45 through the through holes and is cooled by the condenser tubes 455 inside the condenser 45.
[0056] In a specific embodiment, the condenser tubes 455 are copper tubes, and the gaseous coolant condenses into a liquid state after contacting the copper tubes.
[0057] In a specific embodiment, there are two inclined plates 452, and the two inclined plates 452 are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the two liquid storage bins 42 to realize the design of a two-way diversion structure. Specifically, one ends of the two inclined plates 452 are connected to each other, and the other ends are respectively connected to their corresponding liquid storage bins 42. And a first drainage groove is provided on the inclined plate 452, and the first drainage groove starts from the intersection end of the inclined plate 452, penetrates through the connection part of the inclined plate 452 and the housing 454 along the slope direction of the inclined surface, extends to the other end of the inclined plate 452 to form a liquid outlet and is connected to the liquid supply area 421 of the liquid storage bin 42, ensuring that even when the housing 454 is connected to the inclined plate 452, the liquid coolant attached to the inclined plate 452 can also flow along the first drainage groove into the corresponding liquid storage bin 42, realizing the orderly collection and recycling of the liquid coolant.
[0058] In a specific embodiment, there is no limit to the number of the first drainage grooves. One or more first drainage grooves can be provided. When there are multiple first drainage grooves, the extending directions of the multiple first drainage grooves are exactly the same, and a uniform interval distance is maintained between adjacent first drainage grooves. Through this equidistant and parallel layout method, it not only ensures the uniform distribution of the coolant on the surface of the inclined plate 452, but also avoids the fluid disorder phenomenon caused by uneven spacing of the first drainage grooves, ensuring the orderly diversion of the coolant.
[0059] In a specific embodiment, thin film piezoresistive sensors are arranged on both of the two inclined plates 452.
[0060] In a specific embodiment, a fluorinated polymer with a thickness of 2 μm is coated on the surface of the inclined plate 452 as a hydrophobic layer, so that the coolant attached to the inclined plate 452 forms spherical droplets and rolls off quickly, effectively avoiding the retention of the coolant on the surface of the inclined plate 452 and improving the recovery efficiency of the coolant attached to the inclined plate 452.
[0061] In a specific embodiment, the originally gaseous coolant enters the condenser 45 and gradually turns into a liquid under the cooling effect of the condenser tube 455. The liquefied coolant may adhere to the top inclined plate 452, the outer wall of the condenser tube 455, and the inner wall of the housing 454. The coolant attached to the inclined plate 452 will flow towards the liquid outlet along the first drainage groove provided on the inclined plate 452 and enter the liquid storage bin 42 for recycling. For the coolant attached to the outer wall of the condenser tube 455 and the inner wall of the housing 454, as it accumulates continuously, when the accumulation amount exceeds the critical value that the surface adhesion can bear, under the influence of gravity, the liquid coolant will drip from the outer wall of the condenser tube 455 and the inner wall of the housing 454 and finally fall onto the bottom plate of the condenser 45 housing 454. Since there are through holes on the bottom plate for the gaseous coolant to enter the condenser tube 455, there is a risk that the liquid coolant dripping onto the bottom plate will flow back to the heat conducting plate 3 through these through holes. Therefore, the through holes are set as inverted cones with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part, that is, the diameter of the through hole near the condenser tube 455 is larger, and the diameter of the through hole near the heat conducting plate 3 is smaller, making full use of the surface tension characteristics of the liquid: when a water droplet forms at the edge of the orifice of the through hole, due to the small diameter of the orifice of the through hole and the gradual narrowing downwards, the surface tension of the liquid will produce a hindering effect, making it difficult for the water droplet to fall further, thus effectively preventing the water droplet from dripping onto the lower heat conducting plate 3. At the same time, the larger upper aperture reduces the possibility of water droplets accumulating above the orifice, further reducing the risk of water droplets flowing back through the through hole and dripping onto the heat conducting plate 3.
[0062] In a specific embodiment, a fluorinated polymer with a thickness of 2 μm is coated on the outer wall of the condenser tube 455 and the inner wall of the housing 454 as a hydrophobic layer, so that the coolant attached to the outer wall of the condenser tube 455 and the inner wall of the housing 454 forms spherical droplets and rolls off quickly, effectively avoiding the retention of the coolant on the outer wall of the condenser tube 455 and the inner wall of the housing 454 and improving the recovery efficiency of the coolant attached to the outer wall of the condenser tube 455 and the inner wall of the housing 454.
[0063] In a specific embodiment, an annular flange structure is provided on the outer periphery of the through hole near the condenser tube 455 to form a physical barrier, which can prevent the coolant accumulated on the bottom plate from flowing directly into the through hole along the bottom plate surface, thereby further avoiding the coolant flowing back to the heat conducting plate 3 through the through hole.
[0064] In a specific embodiment, to ensure that the gaseous coolant can smoothly enter the condenser 45 through the through-holes, the bottom surface of the bottom plate close to the heat conducting plate 3 is horizontally arranged.
[0065] Preferably, a liquid collecting groove is provided on the side wall of the housing 454, and a guiding inclined surface is provided on one side of the bottom plate close to the condenser tube 455. The side of the guiding inclined surface close to the liquid collecting groove is smoothly connected to the inner side wall of the liquid collecting groove to form a continuous guiding path; along the direction close to the liquid collecting groove, the distance between the guiding inclined surface and the bottom surface of the bottom plate gradually decreases. When the coolant accumulates on the bottom plate, under the guiding action of the guiding inclined surface, the coolant can smoothly flow along this gradually decreasing inclined surface and finally flow into the liquid collecting groove, thereby ensuring the reasonable flow and effective collection of the coolant inside the housing 454.
[0066] Specifically, since along the direction close to the liquid collecting groove, the distance between the guiding inclined surface and the bottom surface of the bottom plate gradually decreases, when the liquid level height in the liquid collecting groove is higher than the inner side wall of the liquid collecting groove, under the action of the guiding inclined surface, the coolant in the liquid collecting groove also preferentially accumulates on the side of the guiding inclined surface close to the liquid collecting groove, avoiding the spread of the overflowing coolant to other positions of the bottom plate, and further reducing the risk of the coolant on the bottom plate flowing to the heat conducting plate 3 through the through-holes.
[0067] In a specific embodiment, the liquid collecting groove and the liquid supply area 421 of the liquid storage bin 42 are used to convey the liquid through a pneumatic diaphragm pump; the inner side wall of the liquid collecting groove is lower than the outer side wall of the liquid collecting groove, and the outer side wall of the liquid collecting groove can be fixedly connected to the inclined plate 452; a liquid discharge port is provided on the outer side wall of the liquid collecting groove, the water inlet end of the pneumatic diaphragm pump is connected to the liquid discharge port of the liquid collecting groove, and the water outlet end is connected to the liquid supply area 421 of the liquid storage bin 42. Through the power action of the pneumatic diaphragm pump, it can ensure that the coolant in the liquid collecting groove is stably conveyed to the liquid supply area 421 of the liquid storage bin 42 in a one-way flow manner.
[0068] In a specific embodiment, a liquid level sensor is provided on the liquid collecting groove. The liquid level sensor can be installed on the inner side wall of the liquid collecting groove or on the outer side wall of the liquid collecting groove to directly sense the actual height of the liquid in the liquid collecting groove, and the installation height of the liquid level sensor is less than the height of the inner side wall of the liquid collecting groove; both the liquid level sensor and the pneumatic diaphragm pump are connected to the control system. When the liquid level sensor detects that the liquid in the liquid collecting groove reaches the preset height, it will immediately send a liquid level signal to the control system. After receiving this signal, the control system controls the pneumatic diaphragm pump to start running, and the pneumatic diaphragm pump pumps the coolant in the liquid collecting groove into the corresponding liquid supply area 421 of the liquid storage bin 42, thereby effectively preventing the overflow of the coolant in the liquid collecting groove.
[0069] In a specific embodiment, there may be two liquid collection tanks, which are oppositely arranged on both sides of the housing 454 and respectively form independent circulation units with the corresponding two liquid storage tanks 42. A liquid level sensor is provided in each liquid collection tank, and a pneumatic diaphragm pump is separately configured. There are two guiding inclined surfaces, which are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the two liquid collection tanks; specifically, one ends of the two guiding inclined surfaces are connected to each other, and the other ends are respectively connected to the corresponding liquid collection tanks; preferably, a second drainage groove may be provided on the guiding inclined surface, and the second drainage groove extends from one end of the guiding inclined surface to the other end and communicates with the liquid collection tank, realizing the orderly collection of the liquid coolant on the guiding inclined surface.
[0070] In a specific embodiment, the number of the second drainage grooves is not limited, and there may be one or more second drainage grooves. When there are multiple second drainage grooves, the extending directions of the multiple second drainage grooves are completely the same, and a uniform interval distance is maintained between adjacent second drainage grooves. Through this equidistant and parallel layout method, it not only ensures the uniform distribution of the coolant on the guiding inclined surface, but also avoids the fluid disorder phenomenon caused by uneven spacing of the second drainage grooves, ensuring the orderly diversion of the coolant.
[0071] Specifically, one or more second drainage grooves may be provided between two adjacent rows of through holes.
[0072] In another implementation manner of this embodiment, it is also possible that liquid collecting grooves are provided on the side walls around the housing 454, and the four liquid collecting grooves are in fluid communication through an internal communication channel. While maintaining the compactness of the housing 454, the total liquid collecting volume is effectively expanded. A liquid level sensor is installed in only one of the liquid collecting grooves. Through the characteristic of the four-groove communication, this liquid level sensor can obtain the liquid level data of all the liquid collecting grooves in real time, ensuring both the monitoring accuracy and simplifying the system structure and saving costs. Specifically, a single pump can be set between the liquid storage bin 42 and the liquid collecting groove; one of the liquid collecting grooves forms a fluid path with a liquid storage bin 42 through a pneumatic diaphragm pump. When the liquid level sensor detects that the liquid in the liquid collecting groove reaches the preset height, it will immediately send a liquid level signal to the control system; after receiving this signal, the control system controls the pneumatic diaphragm pump to start running, and the pneumatic diaphragm pump pumps the coolant in the liquid collecting groove into the liquid supply area 421 of the liquid storage bin 42 connected to the liquid collecting groove, thus effectively preventing the overflow of the coolant in the liquid collecting groove; the liquid level balance of the whole system is achieved through single-pump pumping and discharging. Or a double-pump setting can be adopted between the liquid storage bin 42 and the liquid collecting groove, and two pneumatic diaphragm pumps form a one-to-one correspondence with two liquid storage bins 42; when the liquid level sensor detects that the liquid in the liquid collecting groove reaches the preset height, it will immediately send a liquid level signal to the control system. After receiving this signal, the control system controls the two pneumatic diaphragm pumps to start running simultaneously, and the two pneumatic diaphragm pumps respectively pump the coolant in the liquid collecting groove into the corresponding liquid supply areas 421 of the liquid storage bins 42, thus effectively preventing the overflow of the coolant in the liquid collecting groove, and more efficient liquid level regulation is achieved through the coordinated operation of the two pumps.
[0073] Specifically, when there are four liquid collecting grooves, four guiding inclined surfaces can also be correspondingly extended, and the four guiding inclined surfaces correspond to the four liquid collecting grooves one by one.
[0074] In a specific implementation manner, a 2-μm-thick fluorinated polymer is coated on the guiding inclined surface as a hydrophobic layer, so that the coolant on the guiding inclined surface forms spherical shapes and rolls down quickly, effectively avoiding the retention phenomenon of the coolant on the guiding inclined surface and improving the recovery efficiency of the coolant on the guiding inclined surface.
[0075] In one embodiment, the condenser 45 further includes a filter screen 453, and the filter screen 453 is arranged at the connection between the liquid outlet and the liquid storage bin 42.
[0076] By setting the filter screen 453, when the coolant flows through the filter screen 453, various impurities, particulate matters, etc. mixed in it are effectively intercepted, so as to ensure that the coolant entering the interior of the liquid storage bin 42 has a high cleanliness, realizing the pre-filtering treatment of the coolant flowing from the condenser 45 to the liquid storage bin 42, reducing the risk of blockage of the spray holes 423 or the liquid outlet of the liquid storage bin 42 caused by impurity accumulation, extending the service life of the entire cooling structure 4, and reducing the frequency of fault maintenance caused by blockage.
[0077] In one embodiment, the cooling structure 4 further includes a cleaning cylinder 46. The cleaning cylinder 46 is disposed on the side of the heat conducting plate 3 away from the heat insulating cover 1, is slidably connected within the fixed frame 41, and is slidably engaged with the heat insulating cover 1 and the heat conducting plate 3.
[0078] Since the cleaning cylinder 46 is slidably connected within the fixed frame 41 and is slidably engaged with the heat insulating cover 1 and the heat conducting plate 3, as the cleaning cylinder 46 slides within the fixed frame 41, the cleaning of the heat insulating cover 1 and the heat conducting plate 3 can be achieved, avoiding excessive residue of the coolant on the heat conducting plate 3, realizing the effective maintenance of the heat insulating cover 1 and the heat conducting plate 3, and avoiding the risk of performance degradation caused by problems such as coolant residue.
[0079] In one embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, the cooling structure 4 further includes a sliding assembly 47. The sliding assembly 47 includes a slide rail 471 and a slider 472; the slide rail 471 is disposed on the side wall of the fixed frame 41 and extends along a first direction; the slider 472 is slidably connected to the slide rail 471, and the cleaning cylinder 46 is connected to the slider 472. The cleaning cylinder 46 extends along a second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
[0080] Since the slider 472 is slidably connected, and the cleaning cylinder 46 is fixedly connected to the slider 472, through the slider 472 as an intermediary, the sliding fit relationship between the cleaning cylinder 46 and the slide rail 471 is indirectly realized. Since the slide rail 471 is disposed on the side wall of the fixed frame 41, when the slider 472 slides along the slide rail 471, the cleaning cylinder 46 fixedly connected thereto also realizes a sliding movement within the internal space of the fixed frame 41, ensuring that the cleaning cylinder 46 can perform cleaning or wiping operations along a predetermined path.
[0081] In an implementation manner of this embodiment, there are two sets of sliding assemblies 47. The two sets of sliding assemblies 47 are respectively disposed on both sides of the fixed frame 41 along the second direction; the two slide rails 471 are respectively disposed on the two side walls of the fixed frame 41 along the second direction; and both ends of the cleaning cylinder 46 are respectively connected to the two sliders 472 in a rotatable connection manner, enabling the cleaning cylinder 46 to rotate freely during the process of sliding along the slide rail 471 with the slider 472; when driving the slider 472 to slide within the slide rail 471, the cleaning cylinder 46 moves accordingly and forms a rolling fit with the surfaces of the heat insulating cover 1 and the heat conducting plate 3, realizing the cleaning of the surfaces of the heat insulating cover 1 and the heat conducting plate 3.
[0082] In a specific embodiment, the slider 472 includes a sliding end and a rotating end connected in sequence, the sliding end is slidably connected to the slide rail 471, the rotating end is disposed adjacent to the slide rail 471, and a through hole is disposed on the rotating end, and the two ends of the cleaning cylinder 46 respectively pass through the through holes of the two sliders 472 and are respectively connected to the two limit blocks; specifically, the rotating end can be located above the slide rail 471 or below the slide rail 471. In another embodiment, the cleaning cylinder 46 can also include a rotating shaft and a cleaning sleeve, the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the slider 472, the cleaning sleeve is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft, and is rotatably matched with the rotating shaft.
[0083] In another implementation of the present embodiment, the sliding assembly 47 is provided with a group of slide rails 471 fixed on the top walls relative to the fixed frame 41 and the heat conducting plate 3; the slider 472 is fixedly connected to the side of the cleaning cylinder 46 facing away from the heat conducting plate 3, and when the driving slider 472 slides in the slide rail 471, the cleaning cylinder 46 moves accordingly and forms a sliding fit with the surfaces of the heat insulation cover 1 and the heat conducting plate 3, thereby cleaning the surfaces of the heat insulation cover 1 and the heat conducting plate 3.
[0084] In a specific embodiment, there is no limitation on the driving method for driving the slider 472 to slide on the slide rail 471. Specifically, the slide rail 471 is an electric slide rail 471, and the electric slide rail 471 is communicated with the control system. The control system realizes the back and forth sliding of the slider 472 by controlling the start and stop of the electric slide rail 471.
[0085] In a specific embodiment, when the cooling structure 4 needs to be replaced or repaired, the two electric slide rails 471 are started, and the two sliders 472 drive the cleaning cylinder 46 to move along the two electric slide rails 471. During the movement of the cleaning cylinder 46, the cleaning cylinder 46 is in close contact with the heat insulation cover 1 and the heat conduction plate 3, and the surfaces of the heat insulation cover 1 and the heat conduction plate 3 are wiped clean to ensure that the surfaces of the heat insulation cover 1 and the heat conduction plate 3 are clean and free of coolant residue. After cleaning, the integrated heat insulation cover 1, the heat conduction plate 3 and the cooling structure 4 can be disassembled to effectively avoid accidental outflow of coolant due to coolant residue during the disassembly process, thereby causing pollution to the external environment.
[0086] In a specific embodiment, the cleaning cylinder 46 is a sponge cylinder. By setting the cleaning cylinder 46 as a sponge cylinder, due to the soft texture of the sponge, during the cleaning process, when the sponge cylinder contacts and moves with the surfaces of the heat insulation cover 1 and the heat conduction plate 3, it can effectively avoid damage to the surfaces of the heat insulation cover 1 and the heat conduction plate 3 due to friction or collision, thereby protecting the integrity of the heat insulation cover 1 and the heat conduction plate 3; and because the sponge also has good water absorption, it can quickly and fully absorb the coolant remaining on the surfaces of the heat insulation cover 1 and the heat conduction plate 3, ensuring that the surfaces of the heat insulation cover 1 and the heat conduction plate 3 are clean and dry.
[0087] In another embodiment, a driving member such as a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder may be provided at the end of the slide rail 471. The driving end of the driving member is connected to the slider 472, and the driving member is communicatively connected to the control system. The control system controls the driving member to drive the slider 472 to slide along the slide rail 471. Alternatively, the slide rail 471 is configured as a lead screw structure, and the slide rail 471 is threadedly connected to the lead screw structure; the end of the lead screw structure is fixedly connected to the driving end of the driving motor; the driving motor is communicatively connected to the control system, and the control system drives the driving motor to rotate forward or backward to drive the slider 472 to move back and forth on the lead screw structure.
[0088] In a specific embodiment, the control system periodically controls the slider 472 to slide along the slide rail 471 to achieve periodic cleaning of the surfaces of the heat shield 1 and the heat conducting plate 3 by the cleaning cylinder 46, ensuring that the overall performance of the cooling structure 4 is always in the best state.
[0089] In one embodiment, a support structure 5 is further included. One end of the support structure 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the piece to be cooled 2, and the other end of the support structure 5 is connected to the fixed frame 41.
[0090] By connecting the support structure 5 to the fixed frame 41, reliable support for the cooling structure 4 is achieved, effectively dispersing its weight, preventing it from exerting excessive pressure on the piece to be cooled 2 below due to its own excessive weight, and avoiding possible deformation, damage, etc. of the piece to be cooled 2 under excessive pressure. The stability of the relative position and contact state between the piece to be cooled 2 and the cooling structure 4 is maintained, ensuring the cooling effect of the cooling structure 4 on the piece to be cooled 2, providing a stable and safe working environment for the piece to be cooled 2 and the cooling structure 4, guaranteeing the safety and normal operation of the piece to be cooled 2 and the cooling structure 4, and ensuring that the entire cooling structure 4 can continuously provide cooling services for the piece to be cooled 2.
[0091] In one embodiment of the present embodiment, one end of the support structure 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the piece to be cooled 2 along the first direction and is spaced apart from the piece to be cooled 2; the other end is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed frame 41 facing away from the piece to be cooled 2, or the other end is fixedly connected to one side of the piece to be cooled 2 along the second direction, or the other end is fixedly connected to one side of the piece to be cooled 2 along the first direction.
[0092] In another embodiment of the present embodiment, one end of the support structure 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the piece to be cooled 2 along the second direction and is spaced apart from the piece to be cooled 2; the other end is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed frame 41 facing away from the piece to be cooled 2, or the other end is fixedly connected to one side of the piece to be cooled 2 along the second direction, or the other end is fixedly connected to one side of the piece to be cooled 2 along the first direction.
[0093] In another implementation of this embodiment, one end of the support structure 5 is fixed to the side of the fixed frame 41 away from the piece to be cooled 2 and is spaced from the fixed frame 41; the other end is fixed to the side of the fixed frame 41 away from the piece to be cooled 2, or the other end is fixed to one side of the piece to be cooled 2 along the second direction, or the other end is fixed to one side of the piece to be cooled 2 along the first direction.
[0094] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the support structure 5 includes a support base 51 and a connection assembly 52; the support base 51 is spaced from the piece to be cooled 2 along the second direction; one end of the connection assembly 52 is connected to the support base 51, and the other end extends along the second direction and is connected to the fixed frame 41.
[0095] In one embodiment, the connection assembly 52 includes a rotating rod 521 and a sliding rod 522; the rotating rod 521 is fixedly connected to the support base 51; the sliding rod 522 is slidably connected to the rotating rod 521 along the second direction and is detachably connected to the fixed frame 41.
[0096] Through the sliding connection between the sliding rod 522 and the rotating rod 521, it can be dynamically adapted according to the actual distance between the support base 51 and the piece to be cooled 2. When the installation environment inside the server changes, or due to the layout differences of the pieces to be cooled 2 with different models and specifications and other components inside the server, resulting in different requirements for the distance between the support base 51 and the piece to be cooled 2, the sliding connection between the sliding rod 522 and the rotating rod 521 can achieve distance adjustment to meet the requirements of the actual distance; whether in a small server with a narrow space and a compact layout or in a large server with a relatively spacious space and a more dispersed component layout, it can be adjusted according to the actual situation to ensure that the distance between the support base 51 and the piece to be cooled 2 reaches the optimal state; enabling the support structure 5 to better adapt to different installation environments, not only providing a stable and reliable support for the piece to be cooled 2 to ensure its normal and efficient operation, but also providing sufficient space and convenient conditions for the layout and installation of other components inside the server.
[0097] In a specific implementation, the rotating rod 521 includes a first rod body and a second rod body. The first rod body extends along the third direction, and both ends are respectively connected to the support base 51 and the second rod body; the second rod body extends along the second direction; the sliding rod 522 extends along the second direction, one end is slidably connected to the second rod body, and the other end is detachably connected to the fixed frame 41. The third direction is perpendicular to each of the first direction and the second direction.
[0098] In a specific implementation, the first rod body and the second rod body are connected by a first arc-shaped rod.
[0099] In one embodiment, the sliding rod 522 is magnetically connected to the fixed frame 41.
[0100] By magnetically connecting the sliding rod 522 to the fixed frame 41, the complex installation steps required by traditional fasteners are simplified. Precise positioning and fixation between the two can be achieved without the aid of professional tools, and the installation and disassembly between the two are facilitated, improving the overall assembly efficiency and the convenience of later maintenance.
[0101] In a specific embodiment, a first magnetic connector 523 is provided on the fixed frame 41, and a second magnetic connector 524 is provided on the sliding rod 522. The magnetic connection between the fixed frame 41 and the sliding rod 522 is achieved through the cooperation of the first magnetic connector 523 and the second magnetic connector 524.
[0102] In a specific embodiment, the sliding rod 522 includes a third rod body and a second magnetic connector 524, and the third rod body and the second magnetic connector 524 are connected by a second arc-shaped rod.
