Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field related to automobile accessories, in particular to a pipe joint for a cold plate. Background Art

[0002] Liquid cooling plate connectors are key components used to connect cold plates and pipes in liquid cooling systems. They usually need to be able to be quickly connected and disassembled to facilitate maintenance and rapid deployment of the system. The design requirements of liquid cooling plate connectors include good sealing performance, low flow resistance, and material compatibility with the coolant. Liquid cooling technology is becoming increasingly important in fields such as data centers, electric vehicles, and high-performance computing. Therefore, the performance and reliability of liquid cooling plate connectors are crucial to the efficiency and stability of the entire system, but it still has the following disadvantages in actual use:

[0003] The main body of the pipe joint is a vertical structure nozzle. The flow resistance of the refrigerant flowing into the cold plate through the inlet and outlet is large, and the impact on the cold plate is strong. This traditional way of connecting the liquid cold plate and the joint has a large flow resistance. When the coolant flows from the joint to the container surrounded by the liquid cold plate, the diversion effect is poor. The coolant cannot flow smoothly from the joint to the container surrounded by the liquid cold plate, which seriously restricts the cooling effect on the battery. In addition, the strength of this traditional connection structure is poor. When installing the joint, the liquid cold plate is prone to deformation, which can easily cause the product appearance quality to be unqualified. The poor structural strength will also cause the connection strength of the joint and the liquid cold plate to be low;

[0004] During the installation process of the pipe joint body, the laser welder is used to directly perform circumferential welding. During the welding process, the welding head needs to be rotated. The rotation welding operation is complicated, and the angle changes during the rotation process, resulting in uneven strength of the weld and affecting the strength of the welding position. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a pipe joint for a cold plate, which solves the problem that the pipe joint body is directly arranged at a right angle, the coolant cannot flow smoothly from the joint to the container surrounded by the liquid cold plate, and the uniformity of the weld cannot be guaranteed during the welding process of the pipe joint and the flat plate, thereby affecting the strength.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0007] The utility model discloses a pipe joint for a cold plate, comprising a flat plate and a mounting joint, wherein the mounting joint is arranged on one side above the flat plate, a pipe joint body is symmetrically fixed along a vertical center line on one side of the mounting joint close to the center of the flat plate, the pipe joint body is bent, a conveying hole is opened through the pipe joint body along the center line, when working, the pipe joint body is connected to the flat plate through the flat plate, and after the external structure is installed together through the mounting joint, the refrigerant in the external pipeline for conveying the refrigerant is conveyed therein.

[0008] Furthermore, two solder foils are fixed at the top of the plate near the edge of the mounting joint, and through holes are opened in the centers of the two solder foils. The plate is also opened with through holes corresponding to the positions of the two through holes, and the through holes correspond to the positions of the conveying holes at the bottom end of the pipe joint body. The plate fixes the solder ring through the solder foil.

[0009] Furthermore, a mounting hole is provided through the center of the mounting joint, the mounting hole is arranged between the two pipe joint bodies, a connecting hole is provided inside the mounting joint corresponding to the positions of the two conveying holes in the pipe joint bodies, and the mounting joint is installed through the mounting hole.

[0010] Furthermore, a spherical cavity is provided at the bend of the pipe joint body in the delivery hole, the inner diameter of the spherical cavity is the same as the inner diameter of the delivery hole, and the delivery hole is preliminarily buffered by the spherical cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, a fixing ring is fixed in the communicating hole at the edge of the pipe joint body, and the inner diameter of the fixing ring is the same as the inner diameter of the conveying hole, so as to guide the refrigerant to be conveyed by the external pipeline.

[0012] Furthermore, a socket is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pipe joint body, a slot is provided at the edge of the bottom end of the pipe joint body, a solder ring is fixed to the top of each solder foil, the solder ring is fixed in the slot, and the socket is inserted into the through hole, so that the connection between the pipe joint body and the plate is more convenient during operation.

[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The utility model solves the problem that the coolant cannot smoothly flow from the joint to the container surrounded by the liquid cooling plate when the pipe joint body is directly set at a right angle. First, the mounting bolt is inserted through the mounting hole and then screwed into the external mounting structure, so that the mounting joint is installed on the external mounting structure, and the input pipeline of the external refrigerant is inserted into the connecting hole, so that the refrigerant is transported to the delivery hole on the pipe joint body. The central axis of the delivery hole is set at an obtuse angle when bent, which reduces the flow rate slowdown caused by the large impact when the refrigerant enters the pipe joint body, thereby increasing the smoothness of the refrigerant delivery.

[0015] The utility model solves the problem that the uniformity of the weld cannot be ensured and the strength is affected during the welding process of the pipe joint and the flat plate by arranging the flat plate and the mounting joint. When the pipe joint body and the flat plate are mounted, the mounting joint connected to the pipe joint body is firstly arranged away from the center of the flat plate, and then two solder rings are respectively placed on two solder foils, and the insert sleeve is inserted into the through hole on the solder foil, and then the solder ring is clamped into the clamping groove, and then the solder ring is heated and melted, and after cooling, the pipe joint body and the solder foil are welded together to complete the welding between the pipe joint body and the flat plate, and the melted solder ring can be naturally distributed in the clamping groove at the bottom end of the mounting joint, so that the uniformity of the weld between the pipe joint and the flat plate is better and the welding strength is higher.

The flat plate 1 connects a pipe joint body 203 connected to the mounting joint 2 thereon, and provides a connection function for an external conveying pipeline through the mounting joint 2. A pipe joint body 203 is symmetrically fixed along a vertical center line on one side of the mounting joint 2 close to the center of the flat plate 1. Liquid is conveyed through the pipe joint body 203. The pipe joint body 203 is bent to reduce the impact of refrigerant conveying during operation. A conveying hole 204 is opened in the pipe joint body 203 along the center line, and the pipe joint body 203 conveys refrigerant through the conveying hole 204.

[0025] Specifically, two solder foils 101 are fixed at the top of the plate 1 near the edge of the mounting joint 2, and a through hole 103 is opened in the center of the two solder foils 101. The plate 1 also has a through hole 103 corresponding to the position of the two through holes 103.
