[0002] With the rapid development of electronic information technology, the integration and computing performance of data centers and server equipment are constantly improving, and the heat generated during equipment operation is also increasing exponentially. Liquid cooling technology, with its highly efficient heat dissipation capabilities, is being applied to liquid-cooled server racks. In the heat dissipation system of a liquid-cooled server rack, liquid cooling pipes form a complete coolant circulation loop through male and female connectors, achieving efficient heat dissipation for servers and other electronic equipment within the rack.

[0003] During the maintenance and repair of liquid cooling pipelines, if coolant is pre-existing in the pipeline when the male and female connectors are pulled out, coolant will splash at the connector joints. If too much coolant is sprayed inside the cabinet, it can damage the wiring and electronic components, and may also cause short circuits due to the conductivity of the liquid, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Summary of the Invention

When the second connector is not installed on the fixing base, the protrusion is located in the first opening segment. The moving member is configured to drive the protrusion to move and rotate away from the first opening segment towards the second opening segment during the movement toward the first connector, and the protrusion drives the mounting portion to rotate during the movement within the first opening segment and the second opening segment.

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a pipeline device including a splash-proof assembly 100, a first connector 200, and a second connector 300.

[0041] The splash shield 100 includes a base 110 and a barrier 120. The base 110 has a mounting cavity. One end of the barrier 120 is rotatably mounted on the base 110, and at least part of the barrier 120 is located in the mounting cavity. The barrier 120 has a blocking position and an open position when it rotates relative to the base 110.

[0042] The first connector 200 and the second connector 300 are installed at opposite ends of the fixed base 110, and the second connector 300 is detachable; the first connector 200 has a first port and the second connector 300 has a second port.

[0043] When the second connector 300 is installed on the fixed base 110: the barrier 120 is in the open position, part of the barrier 120 rotates to the periphery of the first connector 200, and the first port and the second port are connected to each other in the installation cavity to form a flow channel for liquid flow.

[0044] When the second connector 300 is not installed on the mounting base 110: the barrier 120 is located in the barrier position and blocks the end of the first connector 200 facing the second connector 300 to cover the first port.

[0045] The second connector 300 is configured to drive the barrier 120 from the barrier position to the open position during installation on the mounting base 110; the barrier 120 is configured to switch from the open position to the barrier position during disassembly of the second connector 300.

[0046] The mounting base 110 has an internal mounting cavity, providing installation and movement space for other components. The mounting base 110 is the basic carrier of the entire splash shield assembly 100. The mounting cavity of the mounting base 110 can extend through its body and has two opposing ends, so that the first connector 200 passes through one end of the mounting cavity and the second connector 300 passes through the other end of the mounting cavity, and then they are connected to each other within the mounting cavity to form a flow channel for coolant circulation.

[0047] One of the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 is a male connector, and the other is a female connector. The connection points of the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 are cylindrical. The first connector 200 has a first port, the inner diameter of which is adapted to the inner diameter of the liquid cooling pipe; the second connector 300 has a second port, the size of which matches the first port, so that the two can be connected to each other. The first connector 200 and the second connector 300 can be connected to the mounting base based on solid structural components; that is, the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 are first installed on the fixed base 110 through solid structural components, and then connected to each other.

[0048] The barrier 120 has two states: a blocked position and an open position. By switching between these states, it can cover or open the first port, thereby preventing liquid splashing. It should be noted that the blocked position refers to the position where the barrier 120 is at the first port and covers it; the open position refers to the position where the barrier 120 avoids the first port. When the barrier 120 is in the open position, it can provide mating space for the first connector 200 and the second connector 300, allowing the first port to connect with the second port.

[0049] It is understood that the barrier 120 can adopt a plate-like structure, the shape of which is adapted to the first port to achieve a close fit and cover the first port of the first connector 200, thereby blocking the first connector 200 and preventing coolant from spraying or flowing out of the first connector 200. When the barrier 120 is in the blocking position, the barrier 120 is located at the end of the first connector 200 facing the second connector 300 and covers the first port of the first connector 200. One end of the barrier 120 can be rotatably connected to the fixed base 110 through a rotating shaft, thereby achieving flexible rotation.

[0050] During installation on the mounting base 110, the second connector 300 can drive the barrier 120 to switch from the barrier position to the open position; during disassembly of the second connector 300, the barrier 120 can switch from the open position to the barrier position.

[0051] In other words, during the installation of the second connector 300 onto the fixing base 110, the second connector 300 can exert a pushing force on the blocking member 120 through its own linear movement, so that the blocking member 120 moves from the first port to the open position, allowing the first port of the first connector 200 to mate with the second port of the second connector 300. During the disassembly of the second connector 300, that is, during the process of the second connector 300 being pulled out from the first connector 200, the blocking member 120 can move from the open position to the blocking position based on the reverse pushing force applied by the second connector 300.

[0052] In some embodiments, the switching of the barrier 120 between the open position and the blocked position can be achieved manually or automatically. Taking automatic switching as an example, the movement of the barrier 120 in the switching state can be adapted to the two actions of inserting and pulling the first connector 200 relative to the second connector 300, thereby achieving coordinated action so that the switching of the barrier 120 is carried out quickly based on the two actions of inserting and pulling the first connector 200.

[0053] Therefore, the piping device provided in this embodiment can cover and avoid the first port of the first connector 200 through the barrier 120, so that when the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 are pulled out from each other, the barrier 120 can cover the port of the first connector 200 in time, which helps to reduce the coolant splashing or flowing out when the male and female connectors of the liquid cooling pipe are pulled out, thereby reducing the contamination or damage of the coolant to the equipment.

[0054] In one alternative embodiment, the barrier 120 includes a mounting portion 121 and a barrier portion 122.

[0055] Mounting part 121 is rotatably mounted on fixed base 110. Blocking part 122 is connected to mounting part 121, and at least part of blocking part 122 is located in mounting cavity; when blocking member 120 is in open position, blocking part 122 rotates to the periphery of first connector 200; when blocking member 120 is in blocking position, blocking part 122 covers first port.

[0056] The second connector 300 is configured to drive the mounting part 121 to rotate during installation on the fixed base 110, and drive the blocking part 122 to rotate from the blocking position to the open position through the mounting part 121.

[0057] The mounting part 121 may be provided with a cylindrical hole or a cylinder, and the mounting base is provided with a corresponding connecting column or rotating hole, so that the mounting part 121 and the mounting base are rotatably connected.

[0058] The barrier portion 122 is connected to the mounting portion 121 and can be manufactured using an integral molding process to ensure the firmness and integrity of the connection between the two. For example, the barrier portion 122 can be a fan-shaped plate structure, and at least a portion of the barrier portion 122 is located within the mounting cavity.

[0059] When the barrier 120 is in the open position, during the process of installing the second connector 300 onto the fixed base 110, the thrust at the end of the second connector 300 can act on the mounting part 121 and drive the mounting part 121 to rotate around the rotation center. The mounting part 121 drives the barrier part 122 to rotate synchronously through the integral connection relationship, so that the barrier part 122 rotates to the periphery of the first connector 200, making room for the first port of the first connector 200 and the second port of the second connector 300 to dock with each other, thereby forming a flow channel for liquid flow.

[0060] When the barrier 120 is in the barrier position, during the disassembly of the second connector 300, as the second connector 300 gradually detaches from the fixing seat 110, the mounting part 121 loses the reverse pushing force of the second connector 300. The mounting part 121 drives the barrier part 122 to rotate in the opposite direction. The barrier part 122 eventually completely covers the first port. Even if there is coolant in the pipe, it can effectively prevent coolant from continuing to spray out from the first port due to its tight covering effect, reducing liquid splashing into the cabinet.

[0061] In an alternative embodiment, the piping device further includes a movable element 400, which is movably mounted on the fixed base 110 and connected to the mounting portion 121.

[0062] The second connector 300 is configured to abut against the movable member 400 during installation on the fixed base 110 and drive the movable member 400 to move toward the side of the first connector 200. The movable member 400 is configured to drive the mounting part 121 to rotate during the movement so that the blocking part 122 rotates from the blocking position to the open position.

[0063] The movable component 400 can be a block-shaped structure extending along the moving direction during installation of the second connector 300, and it is movably mounted on the fixed base 110. The fixed base 110 can be provided with a guide groove adapted to the movable component 400, or the movable component 400 can be provided with a guide groove adapted to the fixed base 110.

[0064] The movable component 400 and the fixed base 110 can be slidably connected via a slide groove or a slider. This connection method ensures that the movable component 400 moves stably within the slide groove and prevents the movable component 400 from detaching from the fixed base 110. A guide surface or guide groove is provided at one end of the movable component 400 near the mounting part 121. This guide surface or guide groove corresponds to the mounting part 121 of the blocking component 120, so that the movable component 400 and the mounting part 121 form a linkage relationship.

[0065] During the installation of the second connector 300 onto the fixed base 110, the second connector 300 acts on the moving member 400. As the second connector 300 is inserted into the first connector 200, it generates a thrust on the moving member 400 along the direction of the groove, driving the moving member 400 to move towards the side of the first connector 200. During the movement of the moving member 400, the guide surface or guide groove drives the mounting part 121 to rotate around the rotation center between the mounting part 121 and the fixed base 110, thereby causing the blocking part 122 to rotate from the blocking position to the open position, making room for the first port of the first connector 200 and the second port of the second connector 300 to mate with each other, forming a flow channel for liquid flow.

[0066] When the second connector 300 is disassembled, the second connector 300 disengages from the moving part 400. The moving part 400 can follow the second connector 300 by a reset structure or manually. That is, the moving part 400 moves and resets along the slide groove in a direction away from the first connector 200, while driving the mounting part 121 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the blocking part 122 returns to the blocking position, covering the first port and preventing coolant from splashing.

[0067] In one alternative embodiment, the movable member 400 has a first opening 410, the first opening 410 having a first opening segment 411 and a second opening segment 412, the extension direction of the first opening segment 411 being perpendicular to the moving direction of the movable member 400, and the extension direction of the second opening segment 412 being parallel to the moving direction of the movable member 400.

[0068] The mounting portion 121 also has a protrusion 121a on the side opposite to the fixing base 110. When the second connector 300 is not mounted on the fixing base 110, the protrusion 121a is located in the first opening section 411. The moving member 400 is configured to drive the protrusion 121a to move and rotate away from the first opening section 411 towards the second opening section 412 during the movement toward the first connector 200, and the protrusion 121a drives the mounting portion 121 to rotate during the movement within the first opening section 411 and the second opening section 412.

[0069] In this optional embodiment, the movable member 400 has a first opening 410, which is an oblong hole structure extending through the thickness direction of the movable member 400, and the first opening 410 has a first opening segment 411 and a second opening segment 412. The first opening segment 411 is located at the end of the first opening 410 near the second connector 300, and its extension direction is perpendicular to the moving direction of the movable member 400, that is, it extends in the horizontal direction; the second opening segment 412 is located at the end of the first opening 410 near the first connector 200, and its extension direction is parallel to the moving direction of the movable member 400, that is, it extends in the vertical direction. The first opening segment 411 and the second opening segment 412 are connected in an L-shape.

[0070] The mounting portion 121 also has a protrusion 121a on the side opposite to the fixing base 110. The protrusion 121a is a cylindrical structure with an outer diameter slightly smaller than the width of the first opening 410 to ensure that the protrusion 121a can slide freely within the first opening 410. When the second connector 300 is not installed on the fixing base 110, the protrusion 121a is located within the first opening section 411. At this time, the barrier 120 is in the blocking position, and the blocking portion 122 covers the first port.

[0071] As the movable member 400 moves toward the first connector 200, the extension direction of the first opening segment 411 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the movable member 400. Since the movable member 400's movement toward the first connector 200 generates a horizontal displacement, the protrusion 121a, driven by the movable member 400, first moves away from the second connector 300 along the first opening segment 411. As the movable member 400 continues to move, the protrusion 121a reaches the junction of the first opening segment 411 and the second opening segment 412. At this point, since the extension direction of the second opening segment 412 is parallel to the movement direction of the movable member 400, the protrusion 121a begins to detach from the first opening segment 411 and move toward the second opening segment 412. During this process, the trajectory of the protrusion 121a changes from horizontal movement to vertical movement along the second opening segment 412. This change in trajectory generates a torque that causes the mounting part 121 to rotate around its axis, thereby driving the mounting part 121 to rotate.

[0072] During the movement of the protrusion 121a within the first opening section 411 and the second opening section 412, its engagement with the first opening 410 converts the linear motion of the moving member 400 into the rotational motion of the mounting part 121, thereby driving the blocking part 122 to rotate from the blocking position to the open position. Specifically, when the protrusion 121a moves within the first opening section 411, the mounting part 121 begins to rotate slowly; when the protrusion 121a enters the second opening section 412, the rotational speed of the mounting part 121 increases until the blocking part 122 is completely rotated to the periphery of the first connector 200, at which point the first port and the second port can smoothly connect to form a flow channel.

[0073] When the second connector 300 is disassembled, the movable part 400 moves away from the first connector 200 under the action of the return spring, and the protrusion 121a moves along the second opening section 412 to the first opening section 411 and finally returns to the first opening section 411. During this process, the protrusion 121a drives the mounting part 121 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the blocking part 122 returns to the blocking position and covers the first port.

[0074] Therefore, the structural design of the barrier 120 rotation achieved by the cooperation of the first opening 410 and the protrusion 121a in this embodiment is beneficial to improving the motion accuracy and stability of the barrier 120.

[0075] In one alternative embodiment, the junction of the first opening segment 411 and the second opening segment 412 is arc-shaped, and there is a gap between the protrusion 121a and the inner wall of the first opening segment 411 or the inner wall of the second opening segment 412.

[0076] The junction of the first opening segment 411 and the second opening segment 412 adopts an arc transition structure. When the protrusion 121a moves from the horizontal first opening segment 411 to the vertical second opening segment 412, the arc-shaped inner wall can generate a continuous guiding force on the protrusion 121a, avoiding movement jamming or impact caused by right-angle turns. For example, during the installation of the second connector 300, when the moving part 400 moves towards the first connector 200, the protrusion 121a can smoothly transition along the arc trajectory, which helps to improve the stability of the rotation of the blocking part 120. At the same time, the arc surface reduces the rigid collision between the protrusion 121a and the inner wall of the opening, which helps to effectively extend the service life of the installation part.

[0077] In one optional embodiment, the piping device further includes a first guide 420, which is mounted on and fixed relative to the fixed base 110; the extending direction of the first guide 420 is parallel to the moving direction of the movable member 400, and a portion of the movable member 400 is movably mounted on the first guide 420.

[0078] The first guide member 420 provides guidance for the movable member 400. By cooperating with the movable member 400, the first guide member 420 limits the movement trajectory of the movable member 400 to a straight line parallel to the installation direction of the second connector 300, ensuring that the movable member 400 will not deviate laterally when subjected to the thrust of the second connector 300.

[0079] Simultaneously, the first guide member 420 ensures that the moving direction of the movable member 400 forms a geometric relationship with the extension direction of the first opening segment 411 (perpendicular to the moving direction of the movable member 400) and the extension direction of the second opening segment 412 (parallel to the moving direction of the movable member 400), so that the protrusion 121a can move along a preset trajectory within the opening segment. The guide member can also define the initial position of the movable member 400, so that the protrusion 121a is accurately located in a designated area within the first opening segment 411, providing a reference for triggering the action during the subsequent installation of the second connector 300.

[0080] In addition, the first guide member 420 in this embodiment can limit the rotational degree of freedom of the moving member 400 to ensure that the torque generated by the thrust of the second connector 300 is used entirely to drive the protrusion 121a to move within the opening section, rather than being consumed in the deflection of the moving member 400.

[0081] In an optional embodiment, an elastic member 430 is further included, which is sleeved on the first guide member 420, and a portion of the movable member 400 is sleeved outside the elastic member 430.

[0082] One end of the elastic element 430 is connected to the first guide element 420, and the other end abuts against the moving element 400. The elastic element 430 is used to control the resetting of the moving element 400.

[0083] When the second connector 300 is installed, it can push the movable member 400 closer to the first connector 200, causing the elastic member 430 to deform and compress under the thrust. The elastic member 430 can provide a reverse driving force for the movable member 400. When the second connector 300 is disassembled, the elastic member 430 releases its stored elastic potential energy, driving the movable member 400 to move in the opposite direction along the first guide member 420, so that the blocking member 120 is reset from the open position to the blocking position.

[0084] In one alternative embodiment, the second connector 300 has a first through hole 310 at the position corresponding to the first guide member 420, and during the installation of the second connector 300 on the fixing base 110, part of the first guide member 420 passes through the first through hole 310.

[0085] The first through hole 310 extends along the moving direction of the moving member 400.

[0086] During the installation and disassembly of the second connector 300, the first guide member 420 passes through the first through hole 310 of the second connector 300. The first through hole 310 constrains the radial offset of the second connector 300 on the first guide member 420, thereby enabling the second connector 300 and the first guide member 420 to achieve a guiding fit.

[0087] In an optional embodiment, the fixed base 110 also has a guide portion 130, and the moving member 400 has a mating portion 450 at a position corresponding to the guide portion 130. The extending direction of the mating portion 450 is parallel to the moving direction of the moving member 400, and the guide portion 130 is disposed within the mating portion 450.
