[0032] A server is a device used to process data using a central processing unit (CPU). During operation, the server generates a large amount of heat, requiring cooling.
[0033] In related technologies, water cooling systems are more efficient for server heat dissipation. These systems dissipate heat from servers by flowing coolant through them. Since water cooling systems are made of metal, the quality of the coolant can affect them, potentially causing corrosion. Therefore, testing the coolant's quality is necessary. Currently, the testing process for coolant quality testing is cumbersome and inefficient.
[0034] In the coolant detection device proposed in this application, a housing can be used to house at least some of the components of the coolant detection device, thereby protecting at least some of the components of the coolant detection device. A circulation pipeline within the housing can be used to circulate coolant. External coolant can be delivered to the circulation pipeline via an inlet pipeline, allowing the coolant to circulate within the circulation pipeline. The coolant in the circulation pipeline can also be discharged through a drain pipeline. A test strip testing assembly is disposed in the first test pipeline, allowing the coolant flowing through the first test pipeline to also flow through the test strip testing assembly, allowing the test strip on the test strip testing assembly to come into contact with the coolant. The first detection assembly can detect coolant passing through the first test pipeline and the second test pipeline. In this way, the first detection assembly can detect the water quality of the coolant in contact with the test strip, as well as the water quality of the coolant flowing through the cooling component, thereby determining the interaction between the coolant, the test strip, and the cooling component. After the coolant enters the cooling component through the second test pipeline, it can also directly dissipate heat for the server. This allows the server to be cooled while detecting the water quality of the coolant, thereby improving the detection efficiency of the coolant detection device of this application.
[0035] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0036] The present application embodiment provides a clothing coolant detection device, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a housing 100, a circulation pipeline 200, a liquid inlet pipeline 310, a liquid discharge pipeline 320, a test piece test assembly 400 and a first detection assembly 500. The coolant detection device can detect the water quality of the coolant and deliver the coolant to the cooling components of the server.
[0037] The housing 100 is the foundational component of the coolant detection device of the present application. It provides a mounting base for at least some of the other components of the coolant detection device and serves to protect at least some of the other components. The housing 100 can be made of a metal material, which provides it with superior structural strength, thereby enhancing its durability and reliability. Of course, at least a portion of the housing 100 can also be made of a polymer material, making it relatively lightweight and offering improved corrosion resistance.
[0038] The box body 100 has an inner cavity, which is an independent cavity structure in the box body 100. The inner cavity can be used to install at least part of other components of the coolant detection device of the present application.
[0039] The circulation pipeline 200 is disposed in the inner cavity of the housing 100. The circulation pipeline 200 can be used for cooling liquid to flow through, and the cooling liquid can circulate within the circulation pipeline 200. The liquid inlet pipeline 310 is connected to the circulation pipeline 200 in the housing 100. The liquid inlet pipeline 310 is configured to transport cooling liquid into the circulation pipeline 200. Specifically, one end of the liquid inlet pipeline 310 can be connected to the circulation pipeline 200, and the other end of the liquid inlet pipeline 310 can be connected to an external cooling liquid storage device. In this way, when the cooling liquid in the circulation pipeline 200 is insufficient, external cooling liquid can be transported to the circulation pipeline 200 through the liquid inlet pipeline 310 to replenish the cooling liquid in the circulation pipeline 200.
[0040] Drain line 320 is also connected to circulation line 200 and is configured to drain the coolant within circulation line 200. Specifically, one end of drain line 320 can be connected to circulation line 200, and the other end can be connected to an external waste liquid collection device. This allows waste coolant within circulation line 200 to be discharged to the waste liquid collection device through drain line 320, allowing the waste coolant to be centrally processed.
[0041] The circulation pipeline 200 specifically includes a main pipeline 210, a first test pipeline 220 and a second test pipeline 230. The first test pipeline 220 and the second test pipeline 230 are arranged in parallel, and the first test pipeline 220 and the second test pipeline 230 are both connected in series with the main pipeline 210. The second test pipeline 230 is also used to be connected in series with the cooling component.
[0042] Specifically, the first end of main line 210 can be connected to the first end of first test line 220 and the first end of second test line 230, respectively, so that the coolant in main line 210 can be divided into first test line 220 and second test line 230. The second end of first test line 220 and the second end of second test line 230 are both connected to the second end of main line 210, so that the coolant flowing through first test line 220 and the coolant flowing through second test line 230 can both flow back to main line 210. As a result, the coolant in main line 210 can flow through first test line 220 and second test line 230 simultaneously and flow back to main line 210 from first test line 220 and second test line 230, allowing the coolant to circulate within circulation line 200.
[0043] The test strip testing assembly 400 is disposed in the first test line 220, so that the coolant flowing through the first test line 220 can also flow through the test strip testing assembly 400. The test strip testing assembly 400 can hold and install the test strip to be tested. The coolant flowing through the test strip testing assembly 400 can come into contact with the test strip before flowing back into the main line 210. The test strip testing assembly 400 can hold and install test strips of different materials, allowing test strips of different materials to come into contact with the coolant.
[0044] The second test line 230 can be connected to the server's cooling components, allowing the coolant in the second test line 230 to be delivered to the server's cooling components, thereby cooling the server. After absorbing heat from the server, the coolant can flow back to the second test line 230 and then back to the main line 210.
[0045] The first detection component 500 is provided in the main line 210, and the first detection component 500 is configured to detect the water quality of the coolant flowing through the first test line 220 and / or the second test line 230. Specifically, after the coolant contacts the test piece, the coolant may react with the test piece, causing the water quality of the coolant to change. The first detection component 500 can detect the change in water quality of the coolant after it flows through the test piece test component 400, so as to determine the influence of different test pieces on the coolant, or determine the changes after different coolants contact the test piece. The smaller the change in water quality after the coolant contacts the test piece, the smaller the influence of the test piece on the coolant. In this way, the most suitable coolant and test piece can be analyzed, and the material of the test piece can be used as the material of the cooling component of the server to reduce the mutual influence between the coolant and the cooling component.
[0046] The first detection component 500 can also detect changes in the coolant's water quality after it flows through the server's cooling components. Specifically, when the coolant flows through the server's cooling components, if the coolant reacts with the server's cooling components, the coolant's water quality will change. In this way, the first detection component 500 can determine whether the server's cooling components are affected by the coolant by detecting changes in the coolant's water quality.
[0047] Specifically, if the coolant is highly corrosive, the coolant will react with the cooling component when flowing through the cooling component, thereby changing the water quality of the coolant.
[0048] Therefore, the coolant detection device of the present application can not only detect the mutual influence between different coolants and test pieces of different materials, but also detect the influence of the coolant on the cooling components of the server, making the detection device of the present application more integrated and efficient.
[0049] In the coolant detection device proposed in the present application, the housing 100 can be used to accommodate at least some of the components of the coolant detection device, thereby protecting at least some of the components of the coolant detection device. The circulation line 200 in the housing 100 can be used to circulate the coolant. External coolant can be transported to the circulation line 200 through the liquid inlet line 310 so that the coolant can circulate in the circulation line 200. The coolant in the circulation line 200 can also be discharged through the liquid drain line 320. The test piece test assembly 400 is arranged in the first test line 220, so that the coolant flowing through the first test line 220 can also flow through the test piece test assembly 400, so that the test piece on the test piece test assembly 400 can come into contact with the coolant. The first detection assembly 500 can detect the water quality of the coolant passing through the first test line 220 and the second test line 230. This allows the first detection assembly 500 to detect changes in the water quality of the coolant in contact with the test piece, as well as changes in the water quality of the coolant flowing through the cooling component, thereby determining the interaction between the coolant, the test piece, and the cooling component. After the coolant enters the cooling component through the second test line 230, it can also directly dissipate heat for the server. This allows the server to be cooled while the coolant quality is being tested, thereby increasing the detection efficiency of the coolant detection device of the present application.
[0050] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 As shown, the box body 100 is further provided with an observation window 140 , through which the situation inside the box body 100 can be observed.
[0051] In some embodiments, in order to improve the convenience of the coolant detection device of the present application, the coolant detection device of the present application may also be provided with a moving component, the moving component being connected to the housing 100, and the moving component being configured to drive the housing 100 to move, so that the housing 100 can be moved to a designated position. Specifically, when it is necessary to replenish coolant for the cooling component of a designated server through the coolant detection device of the present application, the coolant detection device can be moved to a position close to the cooling component of the designated server through the moving component, and then the second test line 230 can be connected to the cooling component. This can simplify the connection structure between the second test line 230 and the cooling component, making it more convenient for the second test line 230 to be connected to the cooling component.
[0052] When the cooling components of other servers need to be replenished with coolant, the coolant detection device can be moved closer to the cooling components of other servers via the movable assembly. By moving the assembly, the coolant detection device can be brought closer to different servers that need to be replenished with coolant. In this way, the coolant detection device of the present application can replenish coolant for the cooling components of different servers, thereby improving the applicability of the coolant detection device of the present application.
[0053] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 As shown, the liquid inlet line 310 and the liquid discharge line 320 of the present application are both connected to the main line 210 of the circulation line 200. The coolant delivered to the circulation line 200 through the liquid inlet line 310 can first enter the main line 210, and then be delivered to the first test line 220 and the second test line 230 respectively through the main line 210. In this way, the liquid inlet line 310 does not need to be connected to the first test line 220 and the second test line 230 separately to deliver coolant to the first test line 220 and the second test line 230, which simplifies the structure of the liquid inlet line 310, thereby simplifying the structure of the coolant detection device of the present application.
[0054] When the coolant in the circulation line 200 needs to be drained, the coolant in the first test line 220 and the second test line 230 is transported to the main line 210. The coolant in the circulation line 200 can then be directly discharged into the drain line 320 through the main line 210. This eliminates the need for the drain line 320 to be connected to the first test line 220 and the second test line 230 separately to drain the coolant in the first test line 220 and the second test line 230. This simplifies the structure of the drain line 320, thereby simplifying the structure of the coolant detection device of the present application.
[0055] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 As shown, in order to allow the coolant to circulate in the circulation pipeline 200, the coolant detection device of the present application may also be provided with a drive pump 212, which is arranged in the main pipeline 210 and is configured to drive the coolant to circulate in the circulation pipeline 200.
[0056] Specifically, the driving pump 212 can drive the coolant from the main line 210 to flow to the first test line 220 and the second test line 230 respectively, and drive the coolant from the first test line 220 and the second test line 230 back to the main line 210, so that the coolant can circulate in the circulation line 200.
[0057] In addition, the driving pump 212 can also drive the coolant to be delivered to the test piece testing assembly 400 so that the coolant can contact the test piece. The driving pump 212 can also drive the coolant to be delivered from the second testing pipeline 230 to the cooling component of the server.
[0058] By controlling the power of the drive pump 212, the flow rate of the coolant circulating in the circulation pipeline 200 can be controlled. Specifically, when the power of the drive pump 212 is set to a higher level, the coolant can circulate more efficiently in the circulation pipeline 200, resulting in a higher flow rate of the coolant. When the power of the drive pump 212 is set to a lower level, the flow rate of the coolant is lower.
[0059] The number of drive pumps 212 can be set to one or more. When the number of drive pumps 212 is multiple, some drive pumps 212 can be set in the main pipeline 210, and some drive pumps 212 can be set in the first test pipeline 220 and the second test pipeline 230, so that the coolant can circulate more efficiently in the circulation pipeline 200.
[0060] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 As shown, in order to adjust the coolant flow and pressure in the first test pipeline 220, as well as the coolant flow and pressure in the second test pipeline 230, the coolant detection device of the present application may further include a flow control component 600. The flow control component 600 is disposed in the circulation pipeline 200 and is configured to control the coolant flow through the first test pipeline 220, as well as the coolant flow through the second test pipeline 230. In this way, the coolant flow and pressure in the first test pipeline 220 can be adjusted accordingly based on actual testing requirements, and the coolant flow and pressure in the second test pipeline 230 can also be adjusted accordingly based on the cooling requirements of the server's cooling components and testing requirements.
[0061] In this way, the mutual influence between the coolant and the test piece under various flow and pressure conditions, as well as the cooling effect of the coolant delivered to the cooling components of the server under various flow and pressure conditions can be simulated, so that the detection range of the coolant detection device of the present application is larger.
[0062] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 As shown, in order for the flow control assembly 600 of the present application to control the coolant flow and pressure in the first test line 220, as well as the coolant flow and pressure in the second test line 230, the flow control assembly 600 may include a first flow control valve 610 disposed in the first test line 220 and configured to control the coolant flow through the first test line 220.
[0063] Specifically, the opening and closing degree of the first flow control valve 610 can be adjusted. When the first flow control valve 610 is opened to a greater degree, the flow rate of the coolant delivered to the first test pipeline 220 is relatively large, and accordingly, the pressure of the coolant in the first test pipeline 220 is also high. When the first flow control valve 610 is opened to a lesser degree, the flow rate of the coolant delivered to the first test pipeline 220 is relatively small, and accordingly, the pressure of the coolant in the first test pipeline 220 is also low.
[0064] The flow control assembly 600 may further include a second flow control valve 620 . The second flow control valve 620 is disposed in the second test pipeline 230 . The second flow control valve 620 is configured to control the flow of the coolant passing through the second test pipeline 230 .
[0065] Specifically, the opening and closing degree of the second flow control valve 620 can be adjusted. When the second flow control valve 620 is opened to a greater degree, the flow rate of the coolant delivered to the second test pipeline 230 is relatively large, and accordingly, the pressure of the coolant in the second test pipeline 230 is also high. When the second flow control valve 620 is opened to a lesser degree, the flow rate of the coolant delivered to the second test pipeline 230 is relatively small, and accordingly, the pressure of the coolant in the second test pipeline 230 is also low.
[0066] Furthermore, the second flow control valve 620 may be omitted when the first flow control valve 610 is provided. Specifically, when the flow rate of the coolant in the main line 210 is constant, by setting the first flow control valve 610 to a larger opening degree, the flow rate of the coolant delivered from the main line 210 to the first test line 220 can be increased. Accordingly, the flow rate of the coolant diverted to the second test line 230 is correspondingly reduced, and the pressure of the coolant in the second test line 230 is also reduced. By setting the first flow control valve 610 to a smaller opening degree, the flow rate of the coolant delivered from the main line 210 to the first test line 220 can be reduced. Accordingly, the flow rate of the coolant diverted to the second test line 230 is correspondingly increased, and the pressure of the coolant in the second test line 230 is also increased.
[0067] Alternatively, the first flow control valve 610 may be omitted when the second flow control valve 620 is provided. Specifically, when the coolant flow rate in the main line 210 is constant, by setting the second flow control valve 620 to a greater degree of opening, the flow rate of coolant delivered from the main line 210 to the second test line 230 can be increased. Accordingly, the flow rate of coolant diverted to the first test line 220 is correspondingly reduced, and the pressure of the coolant in the first test line 220 is also reduced. By setting the second flow control valve 620 to a lesser degree of opening, the flow rate of coolant delivered from the main line 210 to the second test line 230 can be reduced. Accordingly, the flow rate of coolant diverted to the first test line 220 is correspondingly increased, and the pressure of the coolant in the first test line 220 is also increased.
[0068] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the coolant detection device of the present application can also be provided with a display part 110 and a processing part 120. The first detection component 500 and the display part 110 are both electrically connected to the processing part 120. The display part 110 is provided on the outer wall of the box body 100. The display part 110 is configured to display the detection result of the first detection component 500.
[0069] Specifically, after the first detection component 500 detects the water quality information of the coolant, it can be transmitted to the processing component 120. The processing component 120 can process the water quality information of the coolant detected by the first detection component 500, and control the display component 110 to display the information in an intuitive manner, so that the user can obtain the water quality information of the coolant more conveniently and clearly.
[0070] In some embodiments, as shown in Reference 2 , the detection assembly of the present application may include at least one of a turbidity detection element 510, a pH detection element 520, and a conductivity detection element 530. The turbidity detection element 510, the pH detection element 520, and the conductivity detection element 530 are electrically connected to the processing element 120. The turbidity detection element 510, the pH detection element 520, and the conductivity detection element 530 are all disposed in the main line 210. The turbidity detection element 510 can detect the turbidity of the coolant in the main line 210. The pH detection element 520 can detect the pH of the coolant in the main line 210. The conductivity detection element 530 can detect the conductivity of the coolant in the main line 210.
[0071] The turbidity information of the coolant in the main line 210 detected by the turbidity detection component 510 can be transmitted to the processing component 120, which can then display the coolant turbidity information on the display component 110. By observing changes in the coolant's turbidity, the user can determine the interaction between the coolant and the test piece, as well as the impact of the coolant on the server's cooling components after flowing through it.
[0072] The pH detection unit 520 detects the pH value of the coolant in the main line 210 and transmits this information to the processing unit 120. The processing unit 120 then displays the pH value of the coolant on the display unit 110. By observing changes in the pH value of the coolant, the user can determine the interaction between the coolant and the test piece, as well as the impact of the coolant on the server's cooling components after flowing through it.
[0073] The conductivity detection element 530 detects the conductivity of the coolant in the main line 210 and transmits it to the processing element 120. The processing element 120 then displays the coolant conductivity information on the display element 110. By observing changes in the coolant's conductivity, the user can determine the interaction between the coolant and the test piece, as well as the impact of the coolant flowing through the server's cooling components.
[0074] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2As shown, the coolant detection device of the present application can also be provided with a plurality of second detection components 700, and the plurality of second detection components 700 are respectively arranged in the main line 210, the first test line 220 and the second test line 230, and the second detection components 700 are configured to detect at least one of the flow rate, water pressure and temperature of the coolant in the circulation line 200.
[0075] Specifically, the second detection component 700 provided in the main line 210 can detect at least one of the flow rate, water pressure, and temperature of the coolant in the main line 210. The second detection component 700 can be electrically connected to the processing unit 120, and the processing unit 120 can also be electrically connected to the drive pump 212. The second detection component 700 can transmit the flow rate and pressure signals of the coolant in the main line 210 to the processing unit 120. When the second detection component 700 detects that the pressure and flow rate in the main line 210 are too high, the processing unit 120 can control the drive pump 212 to reduce the power, thereby reducing the pressure and flow rate of the coolant in the main line 210, thereby preventing the pressure and flow rate of the coolant in the main line 210 from being too high and causing damage to the main line 210.
[0076] The second detection assembly 700 disposed in the first test line 220 can detect at least one of the flow rate, water pressure, and temperature of the coolant in the first test line 220. The second detection assembly 700 can be electrically connected to the processing unit 120, which can also be electrically connected to the drive pump 212. The second detection assembly 700 can transmit flow rate and pressure signals of the coolant in the first test line 220 to the processing unit 120. When the second detection assembly 700 detects that the pressure and flow rate in the first test line 220 are excessive, the processing unit 120 can control the drive pump 212 to reduce power and adjust the opening and closing degree of the first flow control valve 610 to reduce the pressure and flow rate of the coolant in the first test line 220, thereby preventing the pressure and flow rate of the coolant in the first test line 220 from being excessive and causing damage to the first test line 220. In addition, based on the flow rate and pressure of the coolant in the first test pipeline 220 detected by the second detection component 700, the power of the drive pump 212 and the opening and closing degree of the first flow control valve 610 can be controlled in real time, so that the flow rate and pressure of the coolant in the first test pipeline 220 can be accurately adjusted according to the test needs.
[0077] The second detection assembly 700 disposed in the second test line 230 can detect at least one of the flow rate, water pressure, and temperature of the coolant in the second test line 230. The second detection assembly 700 can be electrically connected to the processing unit 120, which can also be electrically connected to the drive pump 212. The second detection assembly 700 can transmit flow rate and pressure signals of the coolant in the second test line 230 to the processing unit 120. When the second detection assembly 700 detects that the pressure and flow rate in the second test line 230 are excessive, the processing unit 120 can control the drive pump 212 to reduce power and adjust the opening and closing degree of the second flow control valve 620 to reduce the pressure and flow rate of the coolant in the second test line 230, thereby preventing the pressure and flow rate of the coolant in the second test line 230 from being excessive and causing damage to the second test line 230. In addition, based on the flow rate and pressure of the coolant in the second test pipeline 230 detected by the second detection component 700, the power of the drive pump 212 and the opening and closing degree of the second flow control valve 620 can be controlled in real time, so that the flow rate and pressure of the coolant in the second test pipeline 230 can be accurately adjusted according to the test needs.
[0078] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 As shown, the second detection assembly 700 of the present application can be provided with a pressure detection component 710, a water temperature detection component 720, and a flow detection component 730. The pressure detection components 710 of the multiple second detection assemblies 700 can respectively detect the pressure of the coolant in the main line 210, the first test line 220, and the second test line 230. The water temperature detection components 720 of the multiple second detection assemblies 700 can respectively detect the temperature of the coolant in the main line 210, the first test line 220, and the second test line 230. The flow detection components 730 of the multiple second detection assemblies 700 can respectively detect the flow rate of the coolant in the main line 210, the first test line 220, and the second test line 230.
[0079] The pressure detection component 710, water temperature detection component 720 and flow detection component 730 of the second detection component 700 can be arranged close to each other, so that the pressure detection component 710, water temperature detection component 720 and flow detection component 730 can detect the pressure, temperature and flow of the coolant in the same section of the circulation pipeline 200.
[0080] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the coolant detection device of the present application may also include an alarm component 130, which may be electrically connected to the processing component 120. When the second detection assembly 700 detects an abnormality in any of the pressure, temperature, and flow rate of the coolant in the circulation pipeline 200, the processing component 120 may control the alarm component 130 to sound an alarm. The alarm component 130 may be specifically disposed in the housing 100.
[0081] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, the test strip testing assembly 400 of the present application may include a liquid reservoir 410 and a test strip holder 420. The liquid reservoir 410 has a liquid storage cavity, a liquid inlet 411, and a liquid outlet 412. The liquid inlet 411 and the liquid outlet 412 are both connected to the liquid reservoir cavity, and the liquid inlet 411 and the liquid outlet 412 are both connected to the first test pipeline 220. Specifically, the liquid reservoir 410 may be disposed between the two ends of the first test pipeline 220, so that the first test pipeline 220 can be connected to both the liquid inlet 411 and the liquid outlet 412 of the liquid reservoir 410. The coolant in the first test pipeline 220 can be transported into the liquid reservoir cavity through the liquid inlet 411 and discharged from the liquid reservoir cavity through the liquid outlet 412.
[0082] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the test piece holder 420 has a test piece mounting portion 423 for carrying the test piece. The test piece mounting portion 423 is located in the liquid storage chamber and can be used to carry and mount the test piece. The test piece is detachably mounted on the test piece mounting portion 423. In this way, test pieces of different materials can be respectively mounted on the test piece mounting portion 423, so that test pieces of different materials can be tested.
[0083] After the coolant is delivered to the liquid storage chamber through the liquid inlet 411, the coolant can submerge the test piece on the test piece mounting portion 423, so that the test piece is immersed in the coolant. In this way, the coolant can fully contact the test piece, thereby fully testing the interaction between test pieces of different materials and the coolant.
[0084] In some embodiments, for reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the placement of the test strip on the test strip mounting portion 423 of the test strip holder 420, the test strip holder 420 can be detachably mounted on the liquid reservoir 410. When the test strip needs to be mounted on the test strip mounting portion 423 of the test strip holder 420, the test strip holder 420 can be detached from the liquid reservoir 410, so that the entire test strip holder 420 is positioned outside the liquid reservoir, allowing the test strip to be conveniently mounted on the test strip mounting portion 423. After the test strip is mounted in place, the test strip holder 420 can be mounted on the liquid reservoir 410, so that the test strip mounting portion 423 is positioned within the liquid reservoir, and accordingly, the test strip is also positioned within the liquid reservoir.
[0085] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4As shown, in order to allow the test strip holder 420 to be detachably connected to the liquid storage tank 410, the test strip testing assembly 400 may also be provided with a top cover 430, and the test strip holder 420 may be provided with a limiting piece 422 and a plug-in rod 421. The liquid storage tank 410 also has an opening communicating with the liquid storage cavity, and the top cover 430 is detachably mounted on the opening of the liquid storage tank 410, so that the top cover 430 can open and close the opening of the liquid storage tank 410. One end of the plug-in rod 421 is connected to the limiting piece 422, and the other end of the plug-in rod 421 is inserted through the top cover 430 into the liquid storage cavity. The limiting piece 422 abuts against the outer wall of the liquid storage tank 410, and the test strip mounting portion 423 is located on the plug-in rod 421.
[0086] When one end of the connecting rod 421 is inserted through the upper cover 430 into the liquid storage chamber, the test piece mounting portion 423 is also located in the liquid storage chamber, allowing the test piece to be immersed in the coolant in the liquid storage chamber. The limiting piece 422 abuts against the outer wall of the liquid storage tank 410, so that the limiting piece 422 and the outer wall of the liquid storage tank 410 can be mutually restrained and fixed. In this way, the connecting rod 421 connected to the limiting piece 422 can also be relatively fixed to the liquid storage tank 410, preventing the connecting rod 421 from falling completely into the liquid storage chamber and becoming unable to be removed.
[0087] When the test strip holder 420 needs to be separated from the liquid reservoir 410, the upper cover 430 can be separated from the liquid reservoir 410. In this way, the test strip holder 420 connected to the upper cover 430 can also be separated from the liquid reservoir 410 along with the upper cover 430, and the test strip on the test strip holder 420 can be easily replaced. After the test strip is replaced, the upper cover 430 can be reinstalled on the opening of the liquid reservoir 410 so that the test strip on the test strip holder 420 can be placed in the liquid reservoir.
[0088] The upper cover 430 can be detachably connected to the liquid storage tank 410 by a threaded connection, making it easy to detach and install the upper cover 430 from the liquid storage tank 410. The upper cover 430 can also be detachably connected to the liquid storage tank 410 by a snap connection, also making it easy to detach and install the upper cover 430 from the liquid storage tank 410.
[0089] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, the test piece testing assembly 400 of the present application may also be provided with a temperature detection component 450 and a heating component 440. The temperature detection component 450 is provided in the liquid storage tank 410. The temperature detection component 450 is configured to detect the temperature of the coolant in the liquid storage chamber, and the heating component 440 is configured to adjust the temperature of the coolant in the liquid storage chamber.
[0090] Heating element 440 heats the coolant in the reservoir, simulating the state of the coolant after absorbing heat from the server, allowing for more thorough testing of the interaction between the coolant and the test piece under operating conditions. Heating element 440 is electrically connected to temperature sensing element 450, allowing heating element 440 to control the heating power and duration based on the coolant temperature detected by temperature sensing element 450, so that the coolant in the reservoir reaches the target temperature.
[0091] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 As shown, the coolant detection device of the present application may also be provided with a water diversion and collection member 800, which has a first cavity, a second cavity, a water inlet 810, a water outlet 820, multiple water diversion ports 830, and multiple water collection ports 840. The water inlet 810 and the multiple water diversion ports 830 are all connected to the first cavity. The water outlet 820 and the multiple water collection ports 840 are all connected to the second cavity. The water inlet 810 and the water outlet 820 are also connected to the second test pipeline 230. The multiple water diversion ports 830 are respectively connected to the water inlet ends of the multiple cooling components, and the multiple water collection ports 840 are respectively connected to the water outlet ends of the multiple cooling components.
[0092] The coolant in the second test pipeline 230 can enter the first cavity through the water inlet 810 of the water distribution and collection member 800. The coolant in the first cavity can be transported to the multiple cooling components of the server through multiple water distribution ports 830 to fully cool the server. After absorbing heat from the server, the coolant can enter the second cavity through multiple water collection ports 840. The coolant in the second cavity can flow back to the second test pipeline 230 through the water outlet 820 and circulate within the circulation pipeline 200.
[0093] By providing the water diversion and collection member 800, the coolant can be diverted to the various cooling components of the server after entering the water diversion and collection member 800, thereby enabling testing of the coolant's impact on each cooling component of the server. This eliminates the need for the second test line 230 to be individually connected to each of the server's cooling components, simplifying the connection structure between the second test line 230 and the server's cooling components.
[0094] In some embodiments, the water-dividing and collecting member 800 may also be provided with a first exhaust valve 850 and a second exhaust valve. The first exhaust valve 850 is connected to the first cavity and can exhaust gas within the first cavity, preventing excessive pressure within the first cavity from blocking the coolant from entering. The second exhaust valve 860 is connected to the second cavity and can exhaust gas within the second cavity, preventing excessive pressure within the second cavity from blocking the coolant from entering.
[0095] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2As shown, the coolant detection device of the present application may also be provided with a cooling element 211, which is provided in the main line 210. The cooling element 211 can cool the coolant flowing through the main line 210. Specifically, the coolant may be heated by the heating element 440 when it enters the liquid storage chamber of the liquid storage tank 410, so that the temperature of the coolant increases. After the coolant is transported to the multiple cooling components of the server through the water-dividing and water-collecting element 800, it will absorb the heat of the server, which will also increase the temperature of the coolant. The temperature of the coolant can be reduced by the cooling element 211, so that after the coolant is transported to the cooling components of the server again through the water-dividing and water-collecting element 800, the coolant can absorb the heat of the server again, so that the temperature of the server can be fully reduced.
[0096] In some embodiments, the coolant detection device of the present application may further include a filter element, which is disposed in the liquid inlet line 310. The filter element can filter impurities from the coolant passing through the liquid inlet line 310 to ensure that the water quality of the coolant meets the requirements. The filter element filters the coolant in the liquid inlet line 310 to prevent impurities in the coolant from affecting the detection results.
[0097] Specifically, the filter element may be a Y-type filter, and the filter mesh in the filter element is configured to filter impurities with a particle size greater than 5 μm in the coolant, so that the filter element can more fully filter the impurities in the coolant.
[0098] In addition, a filter membrane and an activated carbon filter structure can be provided in the filter element, which can further enhance the filtering performance of the filter element.
[0099] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 As shown, the coolant detection device of the present application may also include a check valve 213, which can be provided in the main line 210. The check valve 213 can be specifically a one-way valve. By providing the check valve 213, the coolant can flow in one direction within the circulation line 200, so that the coolant flows from the main line 210 to the first test line 220 and the second test line 230.
