[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of immersion liquid cooling heat dissipation equipment, and in particular to a server conversion mounting bracket for a liquid cooling cabinet and a liquid cooling cabinet. Background Art

[0002] A large amount of heat is generated during the use of the server. When the temperature of the server rises, it will have a great impact on the server's working efficiency. Traditional servers use air to carry away the heat generated by the heating components in the chassis, which has high cooling energy consumption, high noise, low equipment density and poor heat dissipation efficiency.

[0003] With the development of society, immersion liquid cooling is more and more widely used in the field of server cooling. Among them, immersion liquid cooling often uses liquid cooling cabinets. When in use, a bracket is generally provided in the liquid cooling cabinet to place and fix the server that needs liquid cooling.

[0004] However, current liquid cooling cabinets have the following problems: First, the structural strength of the server installed in the cabinet is poor. When the server is installed on the bracket, the bracket will be subjected to downward force due to the weight of the server, which will cause the bracket to deform and affect the stability of the server installation; second, since the server may have multiple models, the size of each model of server may be different, and a single cabinet cannot meet the installation requirements of servers of different models; third, due to the size limitation of the bracket, it is inconvenient to adjust the installation position of the server in the cabinet.

The embodiments based on the embodiments are intended to be used to explain the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0032] References to "one embodiment" or "an example" or "an example" in this specification mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiment itself may be included in at least one embodiment disclosed in the present application. The appearance of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0033] See attached Figure 4 , 5 One of the embodiments of the utility model discloses a server conversion mounting bracket for a liquid cooling cabinet, wherein the mounting bracket 1 includes a connecting member 11, a supporting member 12 and a top supporting member, the mounting bracket 1 is detachably connected to the liquid cooling cabinet through the connecting member 11, the supporting member 12 is used to support the server 3, the connecting member 11 and the supporting member 12 are arranged at the same end of the top supporting member and the distance between the two is adjustable, and the other end of the top supporting member is against the liquid cooling cabinet to strengthen the supporting strength of the supporting member 12 to the server 3.

[0034] The mounting bracket 1 in this embodiment is connected to the liquid cooling cabinet through the connector 11. When connected to the liquid cooling cabinet, the connector 11 can be directly connected to the cabinet body 2, or it can be connected to the original bracket in the cabinet, so as to expand the installation range. When connecting, bolt connection can be adopted, and it can also adopt connection methods such as card connection and plug connection. It only needs to ensure that the mounting bracket 1 can be stably fixed in the liquid cooling cabinet. The detachable connection between the mounting bracket 1 and the liquid cooling cabinet facilitates replacement and maintenance after the mounting bracket 1 is deformed or damaged after long-term use.

[0035] See attached Figure 4One of the embodiments of the top support component of this embodiment includes a top support bracket and a reinforcing rib plate 15, a supporting plate 13 is formed at one end of the top support bracket, a top pressure plate 14 is formed at the other end of the top support bracket, and a plurality of reinforcing rib plates 15 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the top support bracket, and the reinforcing rib plates 15 are fixed on the top support bracket to strengthen the strength of the top support bracket. In this embodiment, the top pressure plate 14 is provided to facilitate the connection between the top support component and the connecting member 11 and the support member 12. The top pressure plate 14 has a planar portion, and the connecting member 11 and the support member 12 are connected to the top support component at the planar portion, so that the connection is more stable; through the provision of the top pressure plate 14, the fit between the mounting bracket 1 and the liquid cooling cabinet body can be improved, and a better supporting effect can be achieved; wherein a plurality of reinforcing rib plates 15 are provided along the length direction of the mounting bracket 1, and the spacing between adjacent reinforcing rib plates 15 can be set to 20-30cm, and the reinforcing rib plates 15 can improve the overall strength of the mounting bracket 1, wherein when the reinforcing rib plates 15 are specifically provided, one end of the reinforcing rib plate 15 can be connected to the top pressure plate 14, and the other end of the reinforcing rib plate 15 is connected to the support plate 13.

[0036] Since the server 3 is installed on the support member 12 during actual use, the distance between the support member 12 and the connecting member 11 in this embodiment is set to be adjustable. In this embodiment, the position adjustment between the connecting member 11 and the support member 12 is achieved by adjusting the position of the support member 12. When the support member 12 is actually set, it has the following installation methods: 1. The support member 12 is directly connected to the connecting member 11; 2. The support member 12 is connected to the top support member (support plate 13).

[0037] See attached Figure 7 In order to adjust the distance between the support member 12 and the connecting member 11, it is necessary to set an adjustment component between the support member 12 and the connecting member 11 or the supporting plate 13. The following is an example of the support member 12 being connected to the supporting plate 13. The adjustment component includes a first positioning hole component set on the supporting plate 13, and a plurality of second positioning hole components 18 arranged and distributed on the support member 12. The first positioning hole component is configured to be able to be connected to the plurality of second positioning hole components 18 respectively. The first positioning hole component and the second positioning hole component 18 are connected by bolts. When the first positioning hole component corresponds to different second positioning hole components 18, the installation position of the support member 12 on the supporting plate 13 will change, thereby adjusting the distance between the support member 12 and the connecting member 11. Of course, it is conceivable that when the support member 12 is connected to the connecting member 11, the same effect can be achieved by only setting the first positioning hole component on the connecting member 11.

[0038] In addition to the structure of the first positioning hole assembly and the plurality of second positioning hole assemblies 18 mentioned above, the adjustment assembly can also be set in other ways, such as sliding the support member 12 on the support plate 13, cooperating with the positioning structure of the positioning pin or the positioning screw, and fixing the support member 12 after sliding the support plate 13 to different positions to achieve the effect of adjusting the spacing. Of course, other achievable methods can also be used.

[0039] The connection between the connecting member 11 and the supporting plate 13 in the present application can be fixedly connected, specifically by welding or threading. Of course, the supporting plate 13 can also be directly set as a connection, in which case the connecting member 11 and the supporting plate 13 are an integrated structure, which can improve the overall strength of the mounting bracket 1.

[0040] When the utility model is installed, please refer to the attached Figure 5 The upper surface of the support member 12 and the upper surface of the connecting member 11 are in the same plane, so that when installed in the cabinet 2, the mounting bracket 1 and the liquid cooling cabinet and the server 3 and the mounting bracket 1 are at the same height for easy operation.

[0041] The support member 12 of the utility model is provided with a first connection hole 16 for connecting to the server 3, and the connection member 11 is provided with a second connection hole 17 for connecting to the liquid cooling cabinet. During the specific installation, bolts pass through the first connection hole 16 and the second connection hole 17 to connect the server 3 and the liquid cooling cabinet respectively.

[0042] It should be noted that the mounting bracket 1 in the present invention can be expanded on the original bracket in the liquid cooling cabinet to increase the installation range of the original bracket, and can also directly replace the original bracket in the liquid cooling cabinet.

[0043] The top support component can not only reduce the load on the connection part between the connector 11 and the cabinet, but also improve the support strength of the server 3, improve the installation stability of the server 3, and reduce the deformation of the mounting bracket 1 caused by the gravity load of the server 3.

[0044] In addition, see Appendix Figure 1 , 2 , 3, 6, one embodiment of the utility model further provides a liquid cooling cabinet, including a cabinet body 2, a mounting portion 23 is provided in the cabinet body 2, and also includes two of the above-mentioned mounting brackets 1, the two mounting brackets 1 are symmetrically fixed in the cabinet body 2, and the connecting piece 11 is detachably connected to the mounting portion 23.

[0045] A load-bearing plate 21 is provided in the cabinet body 2 below the mounting portion 23 , a support beam 22 is provided in the cabinet body 2 on one side of the load-bearing plate 21 , a top pressing plate 14 is provided at the lower end of the top supporting component, and the lower end surface of the top pressing plate 14 is attached to the upper end surface of the load-bearing plate 21 so that one side of the top pressing plate 14 is pressed against the support beam 22 .

[0046] It can be seen that the two mounting brackets 1 in this embodiment are respectively installed on two opposite side walls in the cabinet 2 through the connecting members 11, and the supporting members 12 on the mounting brackets 1 extend toward the middle of the cabinet 2. The bottom of the server 3 is simultaneously supported by the two supporting members 12 so that the server 3 can be stably installed in the cabinet 2. By adjusting the spacing between the supporting members 12 and the connecting members 11, the distance between the two supporting members 12 can be adjusted, thereby adapting to the installation requirements of servers 3 of different sizes.

[0047] In addition, when installing the mounting bracket 1 in this embodiment, the connector 11 can be directly connected to the original bracket in the cabinet 2, without designing a new mounting structure in the cabinet, which facilitates assembly with the existing liquid cooling cabinet and reduces the modification cost.

[0048] See attached Figure 6 The mounting bracket 1 of the utility model is provided with a top support component. During installation, the top pressure plate 14 at the lower end of the top support bracket is supported by the load-bearing plate 21, and the lower end surface of the top pressure plate 14 is in contact with the upper end surface of the load-bearing plate 21, so that one side of the top pressure plate 14 is pressed against the bracket beam 22. In this way, when the server 3 is installed on the mounting bracket 1, the gravity of the server 3 will be transmitted to the cabinet 2 along the mounting bracket 1, so that the cabinet 2 becomes a part of supporting the server 3, which can improve the stability of supporting the server 3 and avoid the mounting bracket 1 supporting the server 3 only by its own rigidity, effectively eliminating the possibility of deformation of the bracket. Moreover, this new installation method and structural design can more effectively disperse the weight of the server 3, so that the bracket remains stable when bearing the heavy pressure of the server 3, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the bracket, and further helping to maintain good contact between the server 3 and the cooling medium in the liquid cooling system, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0049] Of course, it is conceivable that the use of the structure of the liquid cooling cabinet and the mounting bracket 1 in the present application can reduce deformation and damage of the mounting bracket 1 and reduce the maintenance cost of the liquid cooling cabinet.

[0050] The above are only specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application includes but is not limited to the contents described in the drawings and the above specific embodiments. Any modification that does not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the present application will be included in the scope of the claims.
