Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cooling equipment technology, and more particularly to a liquid leak detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Wafer-level system (WLS) is an emerging chip packaging technology. The power distribution board within the system-on-a-chip (SoC) transmits high-power electrical energy (or high current), necessitating a cooling system to prevent overheating and thermal damage. However, the power distribution board is not waterproof, so leaks in the cooling system can damage it.

[0003] In addition, there are too many factors that can cause liquid leakage in cooling systems, and current technology cannot overcome the problem of component aging. Therefore, there are still concerns about liquid leakage in existing cooling systems.

[0004] In view of this, providing a liquid leak detection device that can receive or collect liquid leaked from coolant pipelines has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this application is to provide a liquid leak detection device that can receive or collect liquid leaked from coolant pipelines, and can be installed or disassembled without the aid of tools.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a liquid leakage detection device, comprising: a water-receiving module, at least two first waterproof elements, and a detection module. The water-receiving module includes a first housing and a second housing. The first housing includes at least one first mounting groove located at at least one end of the first housing. The second housing is pivotally connected to the first housing and includes at least one second mounting groove located at at least one end of the second housing, forming a first mounting hole with the first mounting groove. The first waterproof elements are respectively disposed in the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove. The detection module is disposed in the water-receiving module and is used to detect liquid. The first mounting hole is used to tightly fit the first waterproof elements into the coolant lines of the cooling system.

[0007] In some embodiments, there are two first mounting slots and two second mounting slots, with the two first mounting slots located at opposite ends of the first housing and the two second mounting slots located at opposite ends of the second housing.

[0008] In some embodiments, the liquid leak detection device further includes an absorbent layer housed within the water-receiving module.

[0009] In some embodiments, the water receiving module further includes a second mounting hole and a second waterproof element. The second mounting hole extends through the bottom of the first housing, and the second waterproof element is arranged around the second mounting hole. The second mounting hole is used to tightly fit the second waterproof element onto the coolant line of the cooling system.

[0010] In some embodiments, the detection module includes a detection cable and a detector. One end of the detection cable is located inside the water receiving module, and the detector is connected to the other end of the detection cable.

[0011] In some embodiments, the liquid leak detection device further includes a positioning structure housed within the water receiving module, and the positioning structure is used to position the detection cable.

[0012] In some embodiments, the positioning structure further includes a plurality of positioning ribs, each of which protrudes from the surface of the positioning structure.

[0013] In some embodiments, the water-receiving module further includes a perforation and a third waterproof element. The perforation extends through the first housing, and the third waterproof element is arranged around the perforation. The detection cable passes through the perforation and extends into the water-receiving module.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first housing further includes at least one first rib protruding from the bottom of the first housing.

[0015] In some embodiments, the water receiving module further includes at least one engaging portion and at least one engaging hole. The engaging portion is disposed in the first housing, and the engaging hole is disposed in the second housing, corresponding to the at least one engaging portion.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects: The first and second housings are pivotally connected, allowing the water-collecting module to be opened or closed relative to each other. This facilitates the installation and removal of the liquid leak detection device on the outside of the coolant pipeline without the need for tools. The first and second mounting slots cooperate to form a first mounting hole, and through a first waterproof element, they fit tightly with the coolant pipeline, enabling the water-collecting module to collect or catch leaked coolant. Combined with the detection module installed on the water-collecting module, this facilitates timely detection of leaks. Attached Figure Description

[0026] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-4 , Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the liquid leak detection device 100 provided in the first embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 An explosion diagram of the liquid leak detection device 100. Figure 3 for Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of the liquid leak detection device 100 along section line 3-3. Figure 4 for Figure 1 Another cross-sectional view of the liquid leak detection device 100 along section line 4-4.

[0027] The liquid leak detection device 100 includes a water-receiving module 110, at least two first waterproof elements 120, and a detection module 130. The water-receiving module 110 includes a first housing 111 and a second housing 112. The first housing 111 includes at least one first mounting groove 1111. The first mounting groove 1111 is located at at least one end of the first housing 111. The second housing 112 is pivotally connected to the first housing 111 and includes at least one second mounting groove 1121. The second mounting groove 1121 is located at at least one end of the second housing 112 and forms a first mounting hole 113 with the first mounting groove 1111. The first waterproof elements 120 are respectively disposed in the first mounting groove 1111 and the second mounting groove 1121. The detection module 130 is disposed in the water-receiving module 110 and is used to detect liquid. The first mounting hole 113 is used for tightly fitting the first waterproof element 120 into the coolant line of the cooling system. Thus, the liquid leak detection device 100 can catch or collect liquid leaking from the coolant pipeline, and can be installed or removed without the need for tools.

[0028] For example, when coolant leaks from the pipeline, the water collection module 110 can collect or catch the leaking liquid. When the detection module 130 detects the liquid, it can issue a warning signal to the control system or maintenance personnel, thereby preventing damage to nearby electronic components. Furthermore, by providing a first waterproof element 120, liquid can be prevented from flowing out of the water collection module 110 and can be sealed within the module, thus increasing the reliability of the liquid leak detection device 100.

[0029] The number of first mounting slots 1111 can be two, and the number of second mounting slots 1121 can be two. The first mounting slots 1111 are located at opposite ends of the first housing 111, and the second mounting slots 1121 are located at opposite ends of the second housing 212. In other words, the number of first mounting holes 113 can be two, located on opposite sides of the water receiving module 110. Thus, the liquid leak detection device 100 can be applied to straight coolant pipelines, thereby improving the versatility of its applications.

[0030] In some embodiments, the liquid leak detection device 100 further includes a water-absorbing layer 140, which is housed within the water receiving module 110. The water-absorbing layer 140 can absorb liquid and reduce the possibility of liquid leaking from the water receiving module 110, thereby increasing the reliability of the liquid leak detection device 100.

[0031] The detection module 130 may include a detection cable 131 and a detector 132. One end of the detection cable 131 is located inside the water receiving module 110. The detector 132 is connected to the other end of the detection cable 131. By configuring the detection cable 131 and the detector 132, the detection accuracy and efficiency of the detection module 130 can be improved. It is worth noting that the detection function of the detection cable 131 is not limited to one end of the detection cable 131; the entire detection cable 131 may have a detection function, therefore this application is not limited thereto.

[0032] In some embodiments, the liquid leak detection device 100 further includes a positioning structure 150, which is housed within the water-receiving module 110 and is used to position the detection cable 131. Specifically, the positioning structure 150 can position the detection cable 131 by clamping, engaging, or abutting, and the positioning structure 150 can be detachable. The embodiments provided in this application are merely preferred embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0033] The positioning structure 150 may include multiple positioning ribs 151, each protruding from a surface of the positioning structure 150. The positioning ribs 151 can form a wiring channel, and the detection cable 131 can be routed along the wiring channel, thereby avoiding messy routing of the detection cable 131. However, the shape and position of the positioning ribs 151 can be changed according to the actual wiring requirements of the detection cable 131.

[0034] The water-receiving module 110 may include a through-hole 114 and a third waterproof element 115. The through-hole 114 passes through the first housing 111. The third waterproof element 115 is arranged around the through-hole 114. The detection cable 131 passes through the through-hole 114 and extends into the water-receiving module 110. In this way, the detector 132 can be located outside the water-receiving module 110 without affecting the functionality of the water-receiving module 110 in preventing liquid leakage and sealing liquid.

[0035] The first housing 111 may include at least one first rib 1112. The first rib 1112 protrudes from a bottom of the first housing 111. For example, the first rib 1112 may be used to fix the positioning structure 150, thereby reducing the possibility of displacement of the positioning structure 150. In addition, the second housing 112 may include at least one second rib 1122. The second rib 1122 protrudes from an inner wall of the second housing 112, and the second rib 1122 may be used to fix the coolant line, thereby improving the connection strength between the liquid leak detection device 100 and the coolant line.

[0036] The water receiving module 110 may include at least one engaging portion 116 and at least one engaging hole 117. The engaging portion 116 is disposed on the first housing 111. The engaging hole 117 is disposed on the second housing 112, the engaging hole 117 corresponding to the engaging portion 116, and the engaging portion 116 is detachably engaged with the engaging hole 117. In this way, the connection strength between the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 can be improved without the use of fasteners.

[0037] The water-receiving module 110 may include at least one fourth waterproof element 160. The fourth waterproof element 160 is disposed between the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 and is used to fill the gap. In this way, the tightness between the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 can be improved, thereby reducing the possibility of liquid leakage from the water-receiving module 110 and increasing the reliability of the liquid leakage detection device 100.

[0038] In detail, the liquid leak detection device 100 may include a pivot 170, and the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 may be pivotally connected to the first housing 111 via the pivot 170. The pivot 170 may include a shaft 171 and at least one latching structure 172. The shaft 171 is disposed on the first housing 111, and the latching structure 172 is disposed on the second housing 112, and the latching structure 172 is pivotally engaged with the shaft 171. In this way, the water receiving module 110 can be opened or closed without the need for fasteners and without the use of additional manual tools.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 5 to 8 , Figure 5 This is an exploded view of the liquid leak detection device 200 provided in the second embodiment of this application.

Figure 7 for Figure 5 A schematic cross-sectional view of the liquid leak detection device 200 along section line 7-7. Figure 8 for Figure 5 Another cross-sectional view of the liquid leak detection device 200 along section line 8-8.

[0040] The liquid leak detection device 200 includes a water-receiving module 210, a first waterproof element 220, and a detection module 230. The liquid leak detection device 200 also includes an absorbent layer 240, a positioning structure 250, and a fourth waterproof element 260. The water-receiving module 210 includes a first housing 211 and a second housing 212. The water-receiving module 210 may include a perforation 214, a third waterproof element 215, a locking portion 216, and a locking hole 217. The first housing 211 includes a first mounting groove 2111.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first housing 211 may further include a first rib 2112. The second housing 212 includes a second mounting groove 2121. The second housing 212 may also include a second rib 2122. The second mounting groove 2121 and the first mounting groove 2111 form a first mounting hole 213. The detection module 230 may include a detection cable 231 and a detector 232. The positioning structure 250 may include a positioning rib 251. Figure 5 The liquid leak detection device 200 in the middle has the same or similar structure and configuration. Figure 1 The liquid leak detection device 100 in the middle, so similar ones will not be described in detail here.

[0042] It is worth noting that, optionally, the water receiving module 210 includes a second mounting hole 218 and a second waterproof element 219. The second mounting hole 218 passes through the bottom of the first housing 211. The second waterproof element 219 is arranged around the second mounting hole 218. The second mounting hole 218 is used to tightly fit the second waterproof element 219 into the coolant line of the cooling system. In this way, the liquid leak detection device 100 can be applied to corner-shaped coolant lines, thereby improving the application versatility of the liquid leak detection device 100. In addition, by providing the second waterproof element 219, liquid can be prevented from flowing out of the water receiving module 210, and the liquid can be sealed inside the water receiving module 210, thereby increasing the reliability of the liquid leak detection device 200.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 9 to 12 , Figure 9 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a usage scenario for the liquid leak detection device 100. Figure 10 for Figure 1 Another application scenario diagram of the liquid leak detection device 100. Figure 11 for Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a usage scenario for the liquid leak detection device 200. Figure 12 for Figure 5 A schematic diagram of another application scenario for the liquid leak detection device 200.

[0044] For example, a liquid leak detection device 100 can be installed on a straight coolant line 900 and can collect or catch leaked liquid. By providing a first waterproof element 120, the liquid is sealed within the water-receiving module 110, thereby increasing the reliability of the liquid leak detection device 100. A liquid leak detection device 200 can be installed on a bend in a coolant line 800 and can collect or catch leaked liquid. By providing a first waterproof element 220 and a second waterproof element 219, the liquid is sealed within the water-receiving module 210, thereby increasing the reliability of the liquid leak detection device 200. In addition, when the detection modules 130 and 230 detect liquid, they can issue a warning signal to notify the control system or maintenance personnel, thereby preventing damage to nearby electronic components.

[0045] In summary, the liquid leak detection device of this application can collect or receive liquid leaking from coolant pipelines, and can be installed or disassembled without tools. Furthermore, by incorporating multiple waterproof components, the liquid can be sealed within the water-receiving module. Simultaneously, the detection module can promptly detect the liquid and transmit warning signals, notifying the control system or maintenance personnel, thereby preventing damage to nearby electronic components.

[0046] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
