[0020] With the continuous advancement of technology, the power consumption of servers has been increasing year by year. Traditional air-cooling systems are no longer able to meet the growing heat dissipation needs. Therefore, liquid-cooled servers, with their efficient heat dissipation capabilities, are gradually becoming the mainstream trend in future server cooling technology development.

[0021] The connection between the external coolant circulation pipeline and the coolant pipeline in the server is usually achieved by providing a connector on the server, the external coolant circulation pipeline is put on the connector, and is tightened by a ring sleeve threadedly connected to the connector. However, this connection method is slow to assemble and complicated to operate.

[0022] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a liquid cooling circuit blind plug module and server, which can increase the assembly speed of the cooling pipeline and simplify the operation.

[0023] The following combination Figures 1 to 4 , describing the embodiments of the present application.

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, a liquid cooling circuit blind plug module is provided, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a fixing bracket 1 and a connecting bracket 2, and the specific scheme is as follows.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The connecting groove portion 12 on the left side is cut away to facilitate observation of the internal structure of the connecting groove portion 12; the fixing bracket 1 is a metal bracket or an alloy bracket, and can also be a plastic bracket with strong deformation resistance, etc. The fixing bracket 1 is used to be set on the box body 4 of the server, specifically, as Figure 1 As shown, the fixing bracket 1 is mounted on the server box 4 by snap-fitting, or can be integrally formed on the server box 4 . The fixing bracket 1 is provided with a liquid cooling circuit connector 11 and a plurality of connection grooves 12 .

[0026] Specifically, the liquid cooling return connector can be fixed to the fixed bracket 1 by snapping, or it can be an integrally formed structure with the fixed bracket 1. The liquid cooling circuit connector 11 is used to connect with the liquid cooling pipeline in the server, or directly connect with the inside of the server.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 A portion of the slide groove 221 on the middle left side is removed to facilitate observation of the internal structure of the slide groove 221; the connecting bracket 2 is a metal bracket or an alloy bracket, and can also be a plastic bracket with strong deformation resistance; the connecting bracket 2 is provided with a liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and multiple clamping parts 22, and the multiple clamping parts 22 are respectively plugged into the multiple connecting groove parts 12 one by one, and can be disassembled.

[0028] Specifically, the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 can be fixed to the connecting bracket 2 by snapping or bolting, or the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and the connecting bracket 2 can be an integrally formed structure, and the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 is used to connect to the cooling liquid circulation pipeline located outside the server.

[0029] The clamping portion 22 cooperates with the connecting groove portion 12 to control the connection or disconnection between the liquid cooling circuit connector 11 and the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 .

[0030] It should be noted that the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 can be a separate component or a part of the liquid cooling pipeline located outside the server box 4, that is, the liquid cooling pipeline located outside the server box 4 is directly connected to the connecting bracket 2.

[0031] In the specific use process, such as Figure 1As shown, a liquid-cooled server is taken as an example, wherein the interior of the liquid-cooled server is filled with coolant, and the coolant inside the liquid-cooled server is circulated with an external liquid cooling device to keep the temperature of the coolant inside the liquid-cooled server stable.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixing bracket 1 is set on the box body 4 of the liquid cooling server by means of a snap-on connection, and the edge of the fixing bracket 1 is sealed by a sealant to prevent leakage; specifically, the liquid cooling circuit connector 11 is connected to a liquid outlet pipe and a liquid return pipe, and the liquid outlet pipe and the liquid return pipe are used to be set in the box body 4. By setting the positions of the liquid outlet pipe and the liquid return pipe, the discharge position of the coolant entering the liquid cooling server can be controlled, as well as which part of the box body 4 needs to be discharged.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, a fixing hole is provided on the connecting bracket 2 , and the end of the liquid cooling pipeline located outside the liquid cooling server box 4 is directly connected to the connecting bracket 2 to form a liquid cooling circuit interface 21 .

[0034] By respectively inserting the multiple clip-on parts 22 on the connecting bracket 2 into the multiple connecting grooves on the fixed bracket 1, the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and the liquid cooling circuit connector 11 are docked and connected. Specifically, the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and the liquid cooling circuit connector 11 are both provided with sealing gaskets; by unlocking the clip-on part 22 and the connecting groove 12, the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and the liquid cooling circuit connector 11 are disconnected.

[0035] In this embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, by arranging a liquid cooling circuit connector 11 and a plurality of connecting grooves 12 on the fixed bracket 1, and arranging a liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and a plurality of clamping parts 22 on the connecting bracket 2, and the plurality of clamping parts 22 are respectively detachably connected with the plurality of connecting grooves 12 one by one, the liquid cooling circuit connector 11 and the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 can be connected or disconnected, and the liquid cooling circuit connector 11 and the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 can be quickly disassembled and assembled, and the operation is simple, thereby improving the assembly speed of the cooling pipeline and simplifying the operation.

[0036] In one embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, at least one sliding groove 221 is provided on the clamping portion 22, a clamping block 222 is slidingly provided in the sliding groove 221, and a clamping groove 121 is provided at a position corresponding to the inner side wall of the connecting groove portion 12 and the sliding groove 221; wherein, the clamping block 222 can be clamped with the clamping groove 121 to connect the clamping portion 22 to the connecting groove portion 12.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the number of the slide grooves 221 can be one or more, and the specific number can be set according to actual needs; when the number of the slide grooves 221 is multiple, they can be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the clamping portion 22, so that a plurality of clamping grooves 121 are correspondingly provided on the inner wall surface of the slide groove 221, which correspond one-to-one with the multiple slide grooves 221, and the clamping blocks 222 in each slide groove 221 are synchronously clamped with the multiple clamping grooves 121, which can improve the connection strength and stability between the clamping portion 22 and the fixing frame.

[0038] In the specific use process, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping block 222 can be retracted into the slide groove 221 by manual drive, or by hydraulic drive or pneumatic drive, so that the clamping portion 22 is inserted into the connecting groove portion 12, and at the same time, the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and the liquid cooling return joint are connected; then the clamping block 222 is driven to move into the clamping groove 121, so that the clamping block 222 is clamped with the clamping groove 121, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting bracket 2 and the fixed bracket 1.

[0039] When the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 needs to be disconnected from the liquid cooling return connector to perform maintenance on the liquid cooling circuit or the server, the clamping portion 22 can be separated from the connecting groove portion 12 by driving the clamping block 222 to retract into the slide groove 221.

[0040] In this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, at least one slide groove 221 is provided on the clamping portion 22, a clamping block 222 is slidably provided in the slide groove 221, and at least one clamping groove 121 is provided on the inner side wall of the connecting groove portion 12, the clamping groove 121 corresponds to the slide groove 221, and a part of the clamping block 222 slides into the clamping groove 121 to realize the connection between the slide groove 221 and the clamping groove 121, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the clamping portion 22 and the connecting groove portion 12, the solution is simple and has high reliability.

[0041] In some embodiments not shown, at least one positioning hole is provided on the clamping portion 22, and at least one through-hole is provided on the fixing bracket 1, which is connected to the connecting groove portion 12, and a portion of the positioning column is slidably provided in the through-hole. When the clamping portion 22 enters the connecting groove portion 12, the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and the liquid cooling circuit connector 11 are docked and connected, and a portion of the positioning column can enter the positioning hole to fix the clamping portion 22, thereby realizing the connection between the clamping portion 22 and the connecting groove portion 12; preferably, an operating portion is provided at a portion of the positioning column located outside the fixing bracket 1, and the operating portion can be spherical or annular.

[0042] In one embodiment, Figure 3As shown, the connecting bracket 2 includes a bracket body 23, a liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and a plurality of clamping parts 22. Specifically, the bracket body 23 can be a metal bracket or an alloy bracket, or a plastic bracket with strong anti-deformation ability, etc. The clamping block 222 is provided with a driving part 223. Specifically, as shown Figure 3 As shown, the driving part 223 can be a rod body or a plate body; a through hole 224 is provided on the side wall of the slide groove 221, and the first end of the driving part 223 passes through the through hole 224 and is located outside the clamping part 22, that is, it can be easily driven by hand; the driving part 223 can slide back and forth along the sliding direction of the clamping block 222, that is, the through hole 224 is along the sliding direction of the clamping block 222.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, a first elastic member 225 is provided in the slide groove 221. Specifically, the first elastic member 225 is a spring, and can also be other parts that can be telescopic and rebound, such as an elastic rubber block. The first elastic member 225 is arranged in a compressed state between the block 222 and the bottom surface of the slide groove 221.

[0044] In the specific use process, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first elastic member 225 can keep the block 222 in the position engaged with the slot 121, and the driving portion 223 can facilitate the movement of the block 222. For example, before the engaging portion 22 is inserted into the connecting slot portion 12, the driving portion 223 is pressed to retract the block 222 into the slide groove 221, thereby facilitating the engaging portion 22 to enter the connecting slot portion 12. Then, the driving portion 223 is released, and the block 222 is driven by the first elastic member 225 to move toward the slot 121, and a portion of the block 222 enters the slot 121.

[0045] When the clamping portion 22 needs to be separated from the connecting groove portion 12, the driving portion 223 is pressed to cause the clamping block 222 to compress the first elastic member 225 and enter the sliding groove 221, thereby separating the clamping block 222 from the clamping groove 121, thereby achieving separation of the clamping portion 22 from the connecting groove portion 12.

[0046] In this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, by providing the first elastic member 225 and the driving portion 223 , the state of the clamping block 222 can be manually driven, which is easy to operate and fast.

[0047] In one embodiment, Figure 4As shown, the first end of the driving part 223 is connected to the frame body 23 through a second elastic member 226, and the extension and contraction direction of the second elastic member 226 is the same as the sliding direction of the clamping block 222; specifically, the second elastic member 226 is a spring, or it can be other parts that can extend and rebound, such as an elastic rubber block, etc.; the two ends of the second elastic member 226 can be connected to the driving part 223 and the frame body 23 respectively by glue, or can be connected by bolts, or can be connected by clamping, etc.

[0048] In the specific use process, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the driving part 223 is manually pressed, it is necessary to press the first end of the driving part 223, or the part close to the second end. The second elastic member 226 is set to work together with the first elastic member 225. The second elastic member 226 applies resistance to the first end of the driving part 223, and the first elastic member 225 applies resistance to the block 222, which is equivalent to applying resistance to the second end of the driving part 223, thereby forming a synchronous resistance applied to both ends of the driving part 223.

[0049] When the first end of the driving portion 223 is pressed, the inclination of the driving portion 223 can be reduced, so that the block 222 is less inclined, thereby reducing the side friction between the block 222 and the slide groove 221, thereby facilitating operation.

[0050] In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, by arranging a second elastic member 226 between the first end of the driving part 223 and the frame body 23, the inclination of the driving part 223 during the pressing process can be reduced, thereby reducing the inclination of the block 222, reducing the side friction between the block 222 and the slide groove 221, and changing the pressure to press and unlock.

[0051] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the side surface on which the clamping block 222 is clamped with the clamping slot 121 is the first surface, and the side surface of the clamping block 222 opposite to the first surface is provided with a guide bevel, and the specific guide bevel is generally 30° to 60°, specifically any one of 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55° and 60°, and of course it can also be other angles.

[0052] In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the setting of the guide angle can make the clamping portion 22 contact the side wall edge of the connecting groove portion 12 through the guide angle during the process of inserting the clamping portion 22 into the connecting groove portion 12, so that the clamping block 222 can enter the sliding groove 221, thereby eliminating the need for manual pressing and simplifying the operation.

[0053] In one embodiment, Figure 4As shown, when the block 222 is engaged with the slot 121, the first elastic member 225 is in a compressed state and the second elastic member 226 is in a naturally extended state, that is, the second elastic member 226 has no force on the driving portion 223 when the block 222 is engaged with the slot 121; specifically, when the block 222 is engaged with the slot 121, the first elastic member 225 is in a compressed state, and the thrust generated by its compression on the block 222 only needs to be sufficient to allow the block 222 to enter the slot 121, and does not need to be too large; the second elastic member 226 is in a naturally extended state, which can prevent the driving portion 223 from tilting along the sliding direction of the block 222, thereby ensuring a good engagement state between the block 222 and the slot 121.

[0054] In this embodiment, by placing the block 222 and the slot 121 in a locked state, the first elastic member 225 is in a compressed state, and the second elastic member 226 is in a naturally extended state, it is possible to prevent the driving part 223 from being tilted by the pulling force or elastic force of the second elastic member 226, thereby affecting the locked state of the block 222 and the slot 121.

[0055] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the elastic modulus of the second elastic member 226 is greater than the elastic modulus of the first elastic member 225 , that is, in a state of relative expansion and contraction, the force required for deformation of the second elastic member 226 is greater than the force required for deformation of the first elastic member 225 .

[0056] During specific use, since the point of pressing the driving part 223 is at the first end of the driving part, or a part close to the first end, the force distributed at the first end of the driving part 223 is greater than the force distributed at the end of the driving part 223 close to the block 222, and the elastic modulus of the second elastic part 226 is greater than the elastic modulus of the first elastic part 225, which can make the displacement of the two ends of the driving part 223 basically tend to be the same.

[0057] In this embodiment, the elastic modulus of the second elastic member 226 is greater than the elastic modulus of the first elastic member 225 , which can further reduce the inclination of the driving portion 223 and reduce the friction between the block 222 and the slide groove 221 .

[0058] In some embodiments not shown, at least a portion of the block 222 along the sliding direction of the block 222 is sealed and slidably connected to the slide groove 221, and a third channel is provided on the clamping portion 22, and the third channel is connected to the bottom of the slide groove 221, and the third channel is connected to an external negative pressure device.

[0059] In specific use, taking the two slide grooves 221 and the clamping block 222 provided on the clamping portion 22 as an example, correspondingly, two clamping grooves 121 are provided on the side wall surface of the connecting groove portion 12; the third channel is connected to the bottom of the two slide grooves 221.

[0060] The third channel is connected to an external negative pressure device (such as a vacuum device). When the block 222 needs to be retracted into the slide groove 221 to be unlocked, the switch is turned on to evacuate the air in the slide groove 221. Since a part of the block 222 is in sliding and sealing contact with the slide groove 221, the block 222 is retracted toward the bottom of the slide groove 221 under the action of negative pressure, thereby separating the block 222 from the slot 121; when the block 222 needs to be reset, the switch state is adjusted again to reduce the pressure of the negative pressure device, thereby resetting the block 222.

[0061] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the sliding direction of the block 222 is sealed and slidably connected to the slide groove 221, and the third channel is connected to the bottom of the slide groove 221. The third channel is connected to an external negative pressure device, thereby enabling the block 222 to move automatically. As long as the switch is manipulated, the operation can be further simplified.

[0062] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the block 222 includes a first section 2221 and a second section 2222 along the sliding direction of the block 222, the distance between the first section 2221 and the bottom of the slide groove 221 is greater than the distance between the second section 2222 and the bottom of the slide groove 221, the second section 2222 is in sealed sliding contact with the slide groove 221, and the first section 2221 is connected to the driving part 223.

[0063] In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, only the second section 2222 is in sealed sliding contact with the slide groove 221, which can reduce the friction resistance between the block 222 and the slide groove 221, and the first section 2221 is connected to the driving part 223, thereby avoiding the second section 2222 from contacting the through hole 224 and causing air leakage.

[0064] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, two clamping parts 22 are provided on the connecting bracket 2, and the two clamping parts 22 are respectively connected to the two ends of the frame body 23 in the length direction. Two sliding grooves 221 are provided on the clamping part 22, and the two sliding grooves 221 are respectively provided on the clamping part 22, on both side surfaces along the width direction of the frame body 23.

[0065] In the specific use process, such as Figure 3As shown, the unlocking process of the connecting bracket 2 is explained. Since a clamping portion 22 is respectively connected to both ends of the frame body 23 along the length direction, the operator can synchronously unlock the two ends of the connecting bracket 2 with two hands, and since two sliding grooves 221 and a clamping block 222 are provided on the clamping portion 22, the two clamping blocks 222 are respectively located on the two side surfaces of the clamping portion 22 along the width direction of the frame body 23, so that the operator can use the index finger and thumb to simultaneously press the driving portion 223 on the two clamping blocks 222 to synchronously unlock the four clamping blocks 222.

[0066] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, two clamping parts 22 are provided on the connecting bracket 2, and the two clamping parts 22 are respectively connected to the two ends of the length direction of the frame body 23. Two slide grooves 221 are provided on the clamping part 22, and the two slide grooves 221 are respectively arranged on the clamping part 22, and are arranged on the two side surfaces along the width direction of the frame body 23, thereby forming four clamping blocks 222 arranged in a matrix, which can enhance the connection strength between the connecting bracket 2 and the fixed bracket 1.

[0067] At the same time, it is convenient for the operator to use two hands to read the four card blocks 222 at the same time to unlock synchronously, which is simple to operate.

[0068] In one embodiment, not shown in the figure, the liquid cooling circuit blind plug module also includes a third elastic member. Specifically, the third elastic member is a spring or other parts with elastic expansion and contraction rebound capabilities (such as rubber, etc.); the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 is slidingly connected to the frame body 23, and the sliding direction of the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 is the same as the docking direction of the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and the liquid cooling circuit connector 11. The third elastic member is arranged in a compressed state between the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and the frame body 23 to keep the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and the liquid cooling circuit connector 11 crimped.

[0069] The number of the third elastic members may be one or more, preferably 1 to 4, more preferably 1 or 4.

[0070] Specifically, a sliding hole is provided on the frame body 23, and a cylindrical section is provided on the liquid cooling circuit interface 21. The cylindrical section is connected to the sliding hole in a reciprocating sliding manner. The third elastic member is a spring and can be sleeved on the cylindrical section. One end of the third elastic member abuts against the end face of the sliding hole, and the other end of the third elastic member abuts against the limiting portion on the liquid cooling circuit interface 21.

[0071] During specific use, when the connecting bracket 2 is plugged into the fixed bracket 1, the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 is first docked with the liquid cooling circuit connector 11. As the plugging proceeds, the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 slides relative to the frame body 23, and the third spring is compressed, thereby increasing the docking pressure between the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and the liquid cooling circuit connector 11.

[0072] In this embodiment, the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 is slidably connected to the frame body 23. The sliding direction of the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 is the same as the docking direction of the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and the liquid cooling circuit connector 11. The third elastic member is arranged in a compressed state between the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and the frame body 23, which increases the docking pressure between the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and the liquid cooling circuit connector 11, thereby improving the sealing between the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and the liquid cooling circuit connector 11 and preventing leakage.

[0073] At the same time, as time goes by, the deformation and aging of the sealing gaskets on the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 and the liquid cooling circuit connector 11 will affect the sealing effect.

[0074] In one embodiment, the liquid cooling circuit blind plug module further includes a first sensor assembly and a second sensor assembly. Specifically, the first sensor assembly and the second sensor assembly are the same, and can both be composed of a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor. Alternatively, the first sensor assembly and the second sensor assembly are both composite sensors capable of measuring temperature and pressure. Figure 2 As shown, the liquid cooling circuit connector 11 is provided with at least one first liquid inlet channel 111 and at least one first liquid outlet channel 112. Figure 3 As shown, at least one second liquid inlet channel 211 and at least one second liquid outlet channel 212 are provided on the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 , the first liquid inlet channel 111 is adapted to communicate with the second liquid inlet channel 211 , and the first liquid outlet channel 112 is adapted to communicate with the second liquid outlet channel 212 .

[0075] Specifically, the first liquid inlet channel 111, the second liquid inlet channel 211, the first liquid outlet channel 112 and the second liquid outlet channel 212 can be provided in plurality as required. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first liquid inlet channel 111 , the second liquid inlet channel 211 , the first liquid outlet channel 112 and the second liquid outlet channel 212 are all one.

[0076] The first sensor assembly is arranged in the first liquid inlet channel 111 or the second liquid inlet channel 211 by means of a clip-on installation or a bolt-on installation to obtain the inlet liquid temperature signal and the inlet liquid pressure signal of the inlet pipeline; the second sensor module is arranged in the first liquid outlet channel 112 or the second liquid outlet channel 212 by means of a clip-on installation or a bolt-on installation to obtain the outlet liquid temperature signal and the outlet liquid pressure signal of the outlet pipeline.

[0077] More specifically, the first sensor assembly and the second sensor assembly both include a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor suitable for the coolant environment, which can collect the pressure and temperature information of the coolant in real time and accurately; specifically, the pressure sensor is a strain gauge pressure sensor, which can accurately measure the coolant pressure, and the temperature sensor is a thermocouple, thermistor or platinum resistance temperature sensor, which can be selected according to different needs to adapt to different temperature measurement ranges and accuracy requirements.

[0078] In this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a first sensor assembly is arranged in the first liquid inlet channel 111 or the second liquid inlet channel 211 to obtain the liquid inlet temperature signal and the liquid inlet pressure signal of the liquid inlet pipeline; a second sensor module is arranged in the first liquid outlet channel 112 or the second liquid outlet channel 212 to obtain the liquid outlet temperature signal and the liquid outlet pressure signal of the liquid outlet pipeline, providing a basis for determining whether the liquid cooling circuit is leaking and whether the server is overheating.

[0079] At the same time, the first sensor component is arranged in the first liquid inlet channel 111 or the second liquid inlet channel 211, and the second sensor component is arranged in the first liquid outlet channel 112 or the second liquid outlet channel 212, which can facilitate the installation and maintenance of the first sensor and the second sensor.

[0080] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the liquid cooling loop blind plug module further includes a data acquisition module 3, which is signal-connected to the first sensor assembly and the second sensor assembly.

[0081] Specifically, the data acquisition module 3 is connected to the first sensor assembly and the second sensor assembly through a wiring harness, that is, through electrical signals. The wiring harness can be integrated on the liquid cooling reflux interface or the liquid cooling reflux connector, that is, the wiring harness and the liquid cooling circuit connector 11 or the liquid cooling circuit interface 21 are an integrally formed structure; the data acquisition module 3 can also be connected to the first sensor assembly and the second sensor assembly through wireless signals, that is, through local area network, Bluetooth and other wireless signals.

[0082] The data acquisition module 3 can obtain the pressure difference based on the liquid inlet pressure signal and the liquid outlet pressure signal. If the pressure difference is greater than the preset pressure threshold, a liquid leakage alarm is issued; and / or, the data acquisition module 3 can obtain the temperature difference based on the liquid inlet temperature signal and the liquid outlet temperature signal. If the temperature difference is greater than the preset temperature threshold, an over-temperature alarm is issued.

[0083] The liquid cooling loop blind plug module also includes an alarm module. The data acquisition module is connected to the alarm module and the remote terminal through the communication module. Specifically, the alarm module includes a buzzer and an LED light.

[0084] Specifically, the data acquisition module 3 uses a microcontroller as the core and is used to execute a data conversion algorithm to convert the analog signals output by the first sensor component and the second sensor component into actual pressure and temperature values; and is used to execute an alarm judgment algorithm to determine whether an alarm is triggered based on a set threshold. When the alarm judgment module determines that an alarm is triggered, a corresponding alarm signal is issued.

[0085] The communication module is one of a Wi-Fi module, an Ethernet module, or a Bluetooth module; the communication module supports the microcontroller to transmit data to a remote terminal to achieve remote real-time monitoring, making it easier for maintenance personnel to promptly detect and handle potential problems, thereby improving maintenance efficiency and timeliness.

[0086] Preferably, the alarm module is located on the front panel of the server monitoring terminal device; the data acquisition module 3 is set on the connecting bracket 2; the buzzer and LED light are connected to the digital output pins of the microcontroller, and the microcontroller controls the switch state of the buzzer and LED light according to the preset pressure value and temperature threshold to issue sound alarms and visual alarms.

[0087] Working principle: The first sensor component is used to collect analog signals of pressure and temperature of the inlet and outlet liquids respectively; the microcontroller can obtain the pressure difference based on the inlet pressure signal and the outlet pressure signal. If the pressure difference is greater than the preset pressure threshold, a leakage alarm is issued; the microcontroller can obtain the temperature difference based on the inlet temperature signal and the outlet temperature signal. If the temperature difference is greater than the preset temperature threshold, an over-temperature alarm is issued.

[0088] Once the alarm is triggered, the microcontroller controls the buzzer and LED light connected to its digital output pins to send out corresponding alarm signals; the buzzer sounds an alarm and the LED light gives a visual alarm, reminding maintenance personnel to deal with possible abnormal conditions in the coolant system in a timely manner.

[0089] The microcontroller sends the collected and processed pressure and temperature data to a remote server or monitoring terminal through communication modules such as Wi-Fi modules, Ethernet modules or Bluetooth modules. Maintenance personnel can remotely monitor the operating status of the liquid-cooled server coolant system in real time, identify potential problems in a timely manner and handle them.
