Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of liquid cooling pipes, and more specifically, to a dual-channel liquid cooling fast switching system with a self-locking mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Dual-channel liquid cooling tubes are a technical design that achieves efficient heat dissipation through two independent liquid circulation channels. They are widely used in data centers, industrial equipment, new energy vehicles, energy storage systems, and other fields. The core principle is to use a dual-circuit structure to optimize the coolant flow path, improve heat dissipation efficiency, and reduce energy consumption. After searching, the existing publication number is: CN118066474A, which discloses a dual-channel liquid helium infusion tube; it includes a vacuum outer tube, and the two ends of the vacuum outer tube are respectively provided with an infusion interface, and also includes a liquid helium delivery pipe and a helium return pipe arranged in the vacuum outer tube, the liquid helium delivery pipe is used to transport liquid helium, and the gas vaporized by the liquid helium after passing through the testing device forms helium, and the helium return pipe is used to transport the helium. The helium return pipe is arranged in parallel with a section of the liquid helium delivery pipe and is coupled and connected by a cooling connector. An insulating support structure is provided between the liquid helium delivery pipe, the helium return pipe and the vacuum outer tube. The liquid helium delivery pipe is cooled by the low-temperature return gas of the liquid helium, thereby improving the utilization rate of the liquid helium. At the same time, the liquid helium delivery pipe is pre-cooled by the cooling connector, thereby reducing the loss caused by heat leakage of the liquid helium during the transportation process and improving the utilization rate of the liquid helium. In the process of realizing this application, the inventor found that the existing technology has the following problems: Most of the existing dual-pipe conveying systems use electric locking or a single bayonet structure, which lacks rigid mechanical Mechanical self-locking design; Among them, the electric lock relies on the electromagnetic lock to maintain the valve core position.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the locking collar 11 includes a first fixed groove 12, a contraction groove 13 and a second fixed groove 14, wherein the first fixed groove 12 and the contraction groove 13 correspond to the two sealing directions of the ball valve 9 respectively. At this time, during the rotation process, whether the blocking column 16 is in the first fixed groove 12 or the second fixed groove 14, the valve core 904 is locked, and only the blocking column 16 is in the contraction groove 13. At this time, the blocking column 16 moves in the transition area, allowing the valve core 904 to rotate during the switching process, which is used to fix the blocking column 16 to prevent the valve core 904 from malfunctioning.

The extrusion spring 24 is placed above the fixed block 15, and the extrusion spring 24 provides a reset force. When the stop column 16 moves to the fixed groove, the spring pushes the locking rod 25 to insert into the plug-in groove 905 of the valve core 904 to achieve self-locking. The fixed block 15 is located on one side of the first fixed groove 12 and is provided with a stop column 16, and the stop column 16 is the key. The actuator is driven by the second rotating shaft 23 and slides along the first fixed groove 12, the contraction groove 13 and the second fixed groove 14 of the locking ring 11 to control the position of the locking rod 25. The locking rod 25 is installed at the bottom end of the fixed block 15, and the bottom end of the locking rod 25 is inserted into the valve core 904 insertion groove 905.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the self-locking assembly 8 further includes a sealing cavity 26, an anti-seepage ring 27, a convex ring 2701, a blocking ring 28 and a sealing groove 2801. The locking collar 11 is located directly below the fixed block 15 and a sealing cavity 26 is reserved. It is located below the locking collar 11 to provide a reset space for the locking rod 25.

The outer diameter convex ring 2701 is interference fit with the sealing groove 2801 to form a sealing cavity 26 to block the fluid leakage path. The anti-seepage ring 27 and the blocking ring 28 are sealed and connected between the convex ring 2701 and the sealing groove 2801.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, a first flange 5 is installed at one end of the main body 4 away from the shunt pipe 6 , and a second flange 10 is installed at one end of the shunt pipe 6 away from the main body 4 .

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, a driving motor 901 is provided at the top of the ball valve 9, and the output shaft of the driving motor 901 passes through the mounting base 902. The output shaft of the driving motor 901 is connected to a first rotating rod 903, and a valve core 904 is installed at the bottom end of the first rotating rod 903. When liquid is transported to the main body 4 respectively through two groups of diversion pipes 6, the self-locking switching assembly 2 on the diversion pipe 6 body locks the valve core 904 in the ball valve 9, thereby directly fixing the valve core 904. The valve core 904 is located on one side of the locking assembly and is provided with a plug-in groove 905. During the liquid transportation process, the self-locking assembly 8 locks the valve core 904, thereby directly allowing the valve core 904 to withstand the impact of the liquid without displacement.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the diameters of the two groups of diverter tubes 6 are the same, and the diameter of the main body 4 is larger than that of the diverter tube 6 .

[0031] The working process of the present application is as follows: first, the ball valve 9 cooperates with the self-locking assembly 8, which controls the on-off and flow direction switching of the fluid in the shunt pipe 6 and is the core executive component of the dual-channel switching. The locking collar 11 provides a moving track for the blocking column 16, and realizes the switching and fixing of the locking position through the internal groove structure. The first fixed groove 12 and the contraction groove 13 correspond to the two sealing directions of the ball valve 9 respectively. At this time, during the rotation process, whether the blocking column 16 is in the first fixed groove 12 or the second fixed groove 14, the valve core 904 is locked. Only when the blocking column 16 is in the contraction groove 13, the blocking column 16 moves in the transition area, allowing the valve core 904 to rotate during the switching process; The limiting ring 21 is installed between the mounting block 17 and the locking collar 11 to limit the axial displacement of the first rotating shaft 20 and ensure smooth rotation. The connecting cover 22 fixes the connection between the first rotating shaft 20 and the second rotating shaft 23 to prevent the transmission components from falling off. The extrusion spring 24 provides a reset force. When the blocking column 16 moves to the fixed groove, the spring pushes the locking rod 25 to insert into the plug groove 905 of the valve core 904 to achieve self-locking. The blocking column 16 is a key actuator. Driven by the second rotating shaft 23, it slides along the first fixed groove 12, the contraction groove 13 and the second fixed groove 14 of the locking collar 11 to control the position of the locking rod 25. The sealing cavity 26 is located below the locking collar 11 to provide a reset space for the locking rod 25. The anti-seepage ring 27 mounting block 17 is on the inner wall of the blocking ring 28. The outer diameter protrusion 2701 is interference fit with the sealing groove 2801 to form a sealing cavity 26 to block the fluid leakage path. When liquid is transported to the main body 4 respectively through the two groups of shunt pipes 6, the self-locking switching component 2 on the shunt pipe 6 locks the valve core 904 in the ball valve 9, thereby directly fixing the valve core 904. During the liquid transportation process, the self-locking component 8 locks the valve core 904, thereby directly allowing the valve core 904 to withstand the liquid impact without displacement. The above is the working principle of the dual-channel liquid-cooled fast switching system with a self-locking mechanism.
