However, the pure liquid cooling system has problems such as high initial investment cost and complex maintenance, and the response speed is insufficient when dealing with instantaneous heat shock.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] ​​​To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention.

[0028] A variable-pressure circulating air-liquid co-source heat dissipation device for data centers includes mounting components and is installed inside a data center cabinet;

[0029] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the tower. Figure 3 for Figure 2 A magnified view of A in the middle.

[0030] The mounting assembly includes a base 1, a slide bar 101, and mounting ears 102. The slide bar 101 is fixedly mounted on both sides of the top of the base 1, and the mounting ears 102 are fixedly mounted on the top of the slide bar 101. The base 1 is mounted on the bottom of the data center rack. The base 1 supports and mounts the slide bar 101, and the mounting ears 102, in conjunction with the cooling water tank 3, provide overall vertical restraint for the slide bar 101. Its vertical mounting on the rear interior of the data center rack does not interfere with the installation of the data processors inside the rack.

[0031] A lifting and cooling circulation mechanism is mounted on the mounting assembly and used to adjust the cooling position. The mechanism includes a sliding mounting plate 2, a lifting drive assembly, a torsional swing drive assembly, a water-cooled cooling arm 21, a liquid-air mixing cooling arm 22, a gear 1 23, a linkage sleeve 1 231, a gear 24, a linkage sleeve 244, and a lifting and swinging alternating assembly. The sliding mounting plate 2 is slidably mounted on the surface of the slide rod 101. The lifting drive assembly is located at the center of the top of the base 1 and is used to drive the sliding mounting plate 2 to adjust its height. The torsional swing drive assembly is located at the center of the top of the sliding mounting plate 2 and is used to drive the water-cooled cooling arm 21 and the liquid-air mixing cooling arm 22 to swing on the sliding mounting plate 2. The top of the water-cooled cooling arm 21 is fixedly mounted on the side closest to the sliding mounting plate 2. The device is equipped with a linkage sleeve 231, and a gear 23 is fixedly installed on the surface of the linkage sleeve 231 and located at the top of the sliding mounting plate 2. A linkage sleeve 244 is fixedly installed on the top of the air-liquid mixing heat dissipation arm 22 near the sliding mounting plate 2. The gear 24 is slidably installed on the top surface of the linkage sleeve 244. Both the water-cooled heat dissipation arm 21 and the air-liquid mixing heat dissipation arm 22 are equipped with cooling coils 222. The water-cooled heat dissipation arm 21 is rotatably engaged with one side of the top of the sliding mounting plate 2 through the linkage sleeve 231, and the air-liquid mixing heat dissipation arm 22 is rotatably engaged with the other side of the top of the sliding mounting plate 2 through the linkage sleeve 244. The lifting and swinging interleaved component is located on the top of the sliding mounting plate 2 near the gear 24 and is used to drive the linkage sleeve 244 to lift and change its longitudinal position.

[0032] The heat dissipation position can be changed by sliding on the slide bar 101 through the lifting drive component and the sliding mounting plate 2. The heat dissipation intensity can be adjusted according to the heat dissipation requirements of different levels. The gear 1 23 and gear 2 24 can be used in conjunction with the torsional swing drive component to swing the water cooling heat dissipation arm 21 and the air-liquid mixing heat dissipation arm 22 to increase the heat dissipation area. When cross swinging heat dissipation is required, the height of the air-liquid mixing heat dissipation arm 22 can be adjusted by the lifting swinging cross component, so that the air-liquid mixing heat dissipation arm 22 and the water cooling heat dissipation arm 21 are staggered to avoid collision during swinging. At the same time, it can be easily folded into the bottom of the sliding mounting plate 2 for convenient height adjustment.

[0033] The lifting drive assembly includes a servo motor 11, a fixed frame 12, a screw 111, and a screw sleeve 112. The fixed frame 12 is fixedly installed at the top center of the base 1. The servo motor 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed frame 12. The bottom of the screw 111 passes through the fixed frame 12 and is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor 11. The screw sleeve 112 is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw 111. The top of the screw sleeve 112 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding mounting plate 2.

[0034] The mounting bracket 12 can install and fix the servo motor 11, and starting the servo motor 11 can drive the screw 111 to rotate. After the screw 111 rotates, it drives the screw sleeve 112 to adjust its height. Since the screw sleeve 112 is fixed to the sliding mounting plate 2, it is limited by the slide rod 101, which can achieve stable longitudinal adjustment.

[0035] The torsional oscillation drive assembly includes a stepper motor 25, a drive disk 251, a toggle post 252, a drive frame 253, and a rack 254. The stepper motor 25 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the sliding mounting plate 2. The output end of the stepper motor 25 passes through the sliding mounting plate 2 and extends to the top of the sliding mounting plate 2, where it is fixedly connected to the drive disk 251. The toggle post 252 is fixedly installed on the top of the drive disk 251 near the drive frame 253. The drive frame 253 has a groove inside that slides with the toggle post 252. The rack 254 is fixedly installed at both ends of the drive frame 253 and meshes with gear 1 23 and gear 2 24. Guide units are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the drive frame 253.

[0036] After the stepper motor 25 starts, it can drive the drive disk 251 to rotate. After the drive disk 251 rotates, it can drive the actuating column 252 to rotate as well. When the actuating column 252 rotates, it can drive the drive frame 253 to slide back and forth stably under the limit of the guide unit, thereby making the drive frame 253 stably drive the rack 254 to move back and forth. Thus, the movement of the rack 254 drives the gear 1 23 and gear 24 meshing with it to rotate synchronously. The rotation of gear 1 23 and gear 24 drives the water-cooled heat dissipation arm 21 and the air-liquid mixing heat dissipation arm 22 to rotate accordingly through the linkage sleeve 1 231 and linkage sleeve 244 fixed to them, thereby realizing the heat dissipation of the rotation, increasing the heat dissipation area and forming a dynamic airflow, breaking the local thermal boundary layer, and significantly improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0037] The lifting and swinging interleaved assembly includes an electromagnetic push rod 242, a lifting plate 241, a limiting ring 243, a limiting plate 245, and a limiting slide column 246. The electromagnetic push rod 242 is fixedly installed on the back of the limiting plate 245. The limiting plate 245 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the top of the sliding mounting plate 2 near the gear 24. The lifting plate 241 is fixedly installed on the output end of the electromagnetic push rod 242. The lifting plate 241 is rotatably sleeved on the surface of the limiting ring 243. The limiting ring 243 is fixedly installed on the top of the surface of the linkage sleeve 244. The limiting slide column 246 is fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the lifting plate 241 near the limiting plate 245 and slides with the limiting plate 245. A spring 247 is sleeved on the surface of the linkage sleeve 244. The top of the spring 247 contacts the bottom of the limiting ring 243, and the bottom of the spring 247 contacts the top of the gear 24.

[0038] By activating the electromagnetic push rod 242, the lifting plate 241 can be lifted. Through the stable sliding cooperation between the limiting slide column 246 at the bottom of the lifting plate 241 and the limiting plate 245, the lifting plate 241 can be lifted stably to avoid jamming. At the same time, the lifting plate 241 can drive the limiting ring 243, which is rotated and limited, to rise upwards without affecting the torsion of the limiting ring 243 and the second linkage sleeve 244. During the lifting process, the elastic force of the spring 247 can always keep the second gear 24 and the rack 254 meshing, ensuring that the second gear 24 can be stably driven torsion by the rack 254. The water-cooled heat dissipation arm 21 and the air-liquid mixing heat dissipation arm 22 can be folded into the bottom of the sliding mounting plate 2, which facilitates the maintenance and upgrading of the equipment in the cabinet, while reducing space occupation and adapting to the high-density deployment trend of data centers.

[0039] The guide unit includes a limiting slide block 2531 and a limiting slider 2532. The limiting slide block 2531 is fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the sliding mounting plate 2, and the limiting slider 2532 is fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the drive frame 253 and slides in cooperation with the limiting slide block 2531.

[0040] After the limiting slide block 2531 is fixed to the sliding mounting plate 2, it can ensure that the limiting slider 2532 will not wobble when it slides. At the same time, the limiting slider 2532 can stably limit the sliding stroke of the drive frame 253 to prevent the two sides from twisting and jamming.

[0041] A cooling and liquid circulation mechanism is located above the lifting and cooling circulation mechanism and is used to circulate and supply cold air and cool liquid to the heat dissipation components. The cooling and liquid circulation mechanism includes a heat dissipation tank 3, a sealing cover 301, a cooling fan 302, an air collector 3021, a cooling air duct 3022, a flexible air supply hose 30221, a thermoelectric cooler 303, a variable frequency speed-regulating water pump 304, a return water tee connector 3041, and a supply water tee connector 3042. The heat dissipation tank 3 is located on top of the screw 111 and is fixedly installed on both sides with the fixing ears 102. The bottom of the heat dissipation tank 3 is rotatably engaged with the top of the screw 111. Two sets of cooling fans 302 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the top of the heat dissipation tank 3. The sealing cover 301 is threaded to the center of the top of the heat dissipation tank 3. The thermoelectric cooler 303 is fixedly installed at the center of the back of the heat dissipation tank 3. The air collector 3021 is fixedly connected to the front of the cooling fan 302. One end of the cooling air duct 3022... The duct 3022 is connected to the air collector shroud 3021. The other end of the duct runs from top to bottom through the water tank 3 and extends to the bottom of the water tank 3. It is connected to the water-cooled cooling arm 21 and the air-liquid mixing cooling arm 22 via a hose. The part of the cooling air supply duct 3022 inside the water tank 3 is made of a cooling material. The variable frequency speed control water pump 304 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the inner wall of the water tank 3. The output end of the variable frequency speed control water pump 304 runs through the water tank 3 and extends to the bottom of the water tank 3 and is connected to the water supply tee connector 3042. The other two ends of the water supply tee connector 3042 are connected to the cooling coil 222 inside the water-cooled cooling arm 21 and the air-liquid mixing cooling arm 22 via hoses. The bottom of the water tank 3 is connected to the return water tee connector 3041 via a hose. The other two ends of the return water tee connector 3041 are connected to one end of the cooling coil 222 inside the water-cooled cooling arm 21 and the air-liquid mixing cooling arm 22 via hoses, thus forming a liquid circulation.

[0042] The starting power of the variable frequency speed control water pump 304 is determined according to the heat dissipation requirements. When high pressure is required, the operating power of the variable frequency speed control water pump 304 is changed to increase the power and make it flow quickly to remove heat. When low pressure is required, energy is saved by reducing the operating power and the liquid flow rate. At the same time, during circulation, the output end of the variable frequency speed control water pump 304 cooperates with the water supply tee connector 3042 to simultaneously deliver cold liquid to the cooling coil 222 in the water-cooled heat dissipation arm 21 and the air-liquid mixing heat dissipation arm 22. At the same time, the interior of the water-cooled heat dissipation arm 21 and the air-liquid mixing heat dissipation arm 22 is filled with cooling coils to increase the heat dissipation effect. After the cold liquid circulates through the cooling coil 222, it returns to the interior of the heat dissipation tank 3 through the return water tee connector 3041, so that the cold liquid that has absorbed heat returns to the interior of the heat dissipation tank 3 and is delivered by the variable frequency speed control water pump 304 again. Simultaneously, it is cooled by the semiconductor cooling chip 303 to keep the cold liquid at a relatively cold temperature and ensure heat dissipation efficiency.

[0043] During the coolant delivery process, after the cooling fan 302 starts, it compresses the outside air through the air collector shroud 3021 and then delivers it through the cooling air duct 3022 to the interior of the water-cooled cooling arm 21 and the air-liquid mixing cooling arm 22. However, during the delivery process, due to the cooling air duct 3022, the outside air is cooled again, making the cooling effect better and ensuring heat dissipation performance. After entering the interior of the water-cooled cooling arm 21 and the air-liquid mixing cooling arm 22, due to the arrangement of the cooling coil 222, the cold air and the coolant in the cooling coil 222 will combine to dissipate heat from the data processor in the data center, which is then cooled through the cooling air duct 3022. The cool air cooled by the thermoelectric cooler 303 and the coolant delivered by the variable frequency speed-regulating water pump 304 are simultaneously introduced into the heat dissipation arm to achieve a composite heat dissipation effect of "air cooling wrapped with liquid cooling". The cool air blows directly on the surface of the processor and quickly removes sensible heat; the coolant absorbs latent heat through the cooling coil 222, forming a dual cooling mechanism, which is especially suitable for the instantaneous thermal shock in high-density computing scenarios. The variable frequency speed-regulating water pump 304 dynamically adjusts the flow rate according to the heat dissipation requirements. In high-pressure mode, the coolant is circulated rapidly to cope with extreme conditions, and in low-pressure mode, energy consumption is reduced. Combined with the precise temperature control of the thermoelectric cooler 303, the system energy efficiency ratio (EER) is improved by more than 25%.

[0044] A temperature sensor is added inside the cooling water tank 3 to monitor the coolant temperature in real time and transmit the data to the data center management platform via a wireless module. When the temperature exceeds the threshold, the system automatically starts the semiconductor cooling chip 303 to enhance cooling and triggers an alarm to notify the maintenance personnel.

[0045] Based on the climate conditions of the data center's location, the cooling power of the semiconductor cooling chip 303 can be adjusted via software. For example, the cooling intensity can be appropriately increased in high-temperature and high-humidity areas, while the power can be reduced in low-temperature and dry areas to save energy.

[0046] By monitoring the current and vibration signals of key components such as servo motor 11 and stepper motor 25, potential faults can be predicted in advance, enabling predictive maintenance.

[0047] Both the water-cooled heat dissipation arm 21 and the air-liquid hybrid heat dissipation arm 22 have ventilation holes 211 at their tops. Several sets of ventilation holes 211 are provided, working in conjunction with the bottom flexible hoses of the cooling air supply duct 3022 for air-cooled heat dissipation. Several sets of cleaning brushes 221 are fixedly installed on the top of the air-liquid hybrid heat dissipation arm 22. The ventilation holes 211 facilitate the removal of cool air delivered to the water-cooled heat dissipation arm 21 and the air-liquid hybrid heat dissipation arm 22 by the cooling air supply duct 3022. Simultaneously, the ventilation holes 211 can be configured as static elimination brushes to absorb static electricity from the data center cabinets during heat dissipation, ensuring equipment stability. The integrated static elimination brushes in the ventilation holes 211 actively absorb static electricity within the cabinets during heat dissipation, reducing the failure rate of electronic components due to electrostatic discharge and extending processor lifespan. The cleaning brushes 221 on the top of the air-liquid hybrid heat dissipation arm 22 can periodically clean dust from the processor surface, preventing dust accumulation that could cause localized overheating, reducing the frequency of manual maintenance, and lowering operating costs.

[0048] Working principle: 1. Adjustment of heat dissipation position

[0049] Servo motor 11 drives screw 111 to rotate, causing screw sleeve 112 and sliding mounting plate 2 to move longitudinally along slide rod 101, thereby realizing height adjustment of heat dissipation mechanism to match the heat dissipation requirements of different levels of processors.

[0050] II. Dynamic swing of the heat dissipation arm

[0051] Stepper motor 25 drives drive disk 251 to rotate, and push column 252 drives rack 254 to move back and forth through slide groove of drive frame 253, thereby driving gear 1 23 and gear 24 to rotate synchronously, so that water cooling heat dissipation arm 21 and air-liquid mixing heat dissipation arm 22 swing on sliding mounting plate 2, expand heat dissipation area and form dynamic airflow.

[0052] III. Wind-Liquid Co-circulation

[0053] Cooling liquid circulation: The variable frequency speed control water pump 304 draws cool liquid from the heat sink 3 and distributes it through the water supply tee connector 3042 to the cooling coil 222 of the water cooling heat sink 21 and the air-liquid mixing heat sink 22. After absorbing the heat of the processor, it returns to the heat sink 3 through the return tee connector 3041 and is cooled again by the semiconductor cooling chip 303.

[0054] Cool air circulation: The cooling fan 302 compresses the outside air and sends it into the cooling air supply pipe 3022 through the air collector shroud 3021. The cool air is further cooled by the semiconductor cooling chip 303 in the pipe and then delivered to the heat dissipation arm. It works together with the coolant in the cooling coil 222 to perform composite heat dissipation on the processor.

[0055] IV. Collision Protection and Adaptive Folding

[0056] The electromagnetic push rod 242 pushes the lifting plate 241 to rise, and through the limit ring 243, it drives the linkage sleeve 244 and the air-liquid mixing heat dissipation arm 22 to rise, avoiding collision with the water cooling heat dissipation arm 21; the spring 247 ensures that the gear 24 and the rack 254 are always meshed, ensuring the stability of the swing drive; the heat dissipation arm can be folded and stored in the bottom of the sliding mounting plate 2 for easy maintenance.

[0057] V. Static Electricity Elimination and Self-Cleaning

[0058] The static elimination brush inside the ventilation hole 211 adsorbs static electricity inside the cabinet; the cleaning brush 221 on the top of the air-liquid mixing heat dissipation arm 22 cleans dust from the processor surface during the swinging process to prevent local overheating.

[0067] Work process

[0068] After the data center is started, the servo motor 11 drives the screw 111 to rotate according to the preset program, so that the sliding mounting plate 2 moves to the middle position of the rack to initially match the overall heat dissipation requirements;

[0069] Stepper motor 25 starts working, driving rack 254 to reciprocate through drive disk 251, toggle column 252 and other components, thereby causing water-cooled heat dissipation arm 21 and air-liquid mixing heat dissipation arm 22 to swing at a swing amplitude of 30° and a frequency of 10 times per minute, thereby expanding the heat dissipation area.

[0070] According to the heat dissipation requirements, the variable frequency speed control water pump 304 delivers the coolant in the heat dissipation tank 3 to the cooling coil 222 of the heat dissipation arm at a flow rate of 10L / min. At the same time, the cooling fan 302 compresses the outside air and sends it into the cooling air supply pipe 3022 through the air collector 3021. The cold air is cooled to 15°C by the semiconductor cooling chip 303 in the pipe and then delivered to the inside of the heat dissipation arm to work with the coolant to dissipate heat from the processor.

[0071] During operation, the static elimination brush inside the ventilation hole 211 continuously adsorbs static electricity inside the cabinet, and the cleaning brush 221 on the top of the air-liquid mixing heat dissipation arm 22 cleans the dust on the processor surface during the swinging process. When the processor temperature in a certain area is detected to rise, the servo motor 11 drives the sliding mounting plate 2 to move towards that area, reducing the height of the heat dissipation arm to enhance the local heat dissipation intensity.

[0080] Work process

[0082] Stepper motor 25 drives the heat dissipation arm to swing at a frequency of 15 times per minute with a swing amplitude of 45°, which quickly expands the heat dissipation range. Variable frequency speed water pump 304 delivers coolant at a flow rate of 20L / min.
