Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of liquid cooling and heat dissipation, and in particular to a cabinet for an immersion liquid cooling system and an immersion liquid cooling system. Background Art

[0002] As server computing power increases, server heat generation also increases dramatically, which places higher demands on server heat dissipation. Traditional air cooling can no longer meet high-intensity heat dissipation requirements, while liquid cooling has been widely used in server heat dissipation due to its high heat dissipation efficiency.

[0003] The single-phase immersion liquid cooling system is a common immersion liquid cooling system. The single-phase immersion liquid cooling system usually uses a liquid with a relatively high boiling point. The liquid does not undergo phase change during use, so the liquid evaporates less, which is conducive to the long-term stable operation of the system. However, based on considerations such as safety and reducing operation and maintenance costs, the design of the cabinet of the single-phase immersion liquid cooling system still needs to be sealed as a whole to further reduce the volatilization of the liquid.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the present application provides a cabinet for an immersion liquid cooling system and an immersion liquid cooling system, so as to facilitate the covering of the wire holes and reduce the volatilization of the liquid.

[0006] To this end, the present application adopts the following technical solution: a cabinet for an immersion liquid cooling system, comprising a cabinet body and a cabinet door connected to the cabinet body and capable of being opened and closed relative to the cabinet body, the cabinet body being provided with a plurality of wire holes for cables to pass through, the wire holes being provided with sealing blocks for covering the wire holes, wherein the cabinet door and the sealing block are connected via a linkage mechanism, the linkage mechanism being configured such that, when the cabinet door is opened, the linkage mechanism drives the sealing block to move to open the wire holes to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the cables, and when the cabinet door is closed, the linkage mechanism drives the sealing block to move to cover the wire holes to reduce volatilization of liquid in the liquid cooling system.

[0007] In one embodiment, the linkage mechanism includes a sliding rod and a hinge rod, one end of the hinge rod is pivotally connected to the cabinet door, and the other end of the hinge rod is pivotally connected to the sliding rod.

[0008] In one embodiment, the sealing block is fixed on the sliding rod and moves synchronously with the sliding rod.

[0009] In one embodiment, the cabinet is provided with a sliding groove for accommodating and guiding the sliding of the sliding rod.

[0010] In one embodiment, the sealing block is a soft elastic member.

[0011] In one embodiment, the sealing block is a rubber piece or a foam piece.

[0012] In one embodiment, the cabinet door includes two door bodies that open opposite each other, and the hinge rod is connected to one of the door bodies.

[0013] In one embodiment, the top of the cabinet is provided with an opening, the cabinet door is provided on the top of the cabinet to cover the opening, and the wire hole is opened at the upper edge of the cabinet.

[0014] In one embodiment, there are multiple wire passing holes, and the multiple wire passing holes are concentratedly arranged at the same upper edge of the cabinet.

[0015] The present application also adopts the following technical solution: an immersion liquid cooling system, comprising a cabinet as described above, wherein there is no server immersed in the cabinet, and the server has a plurality of cables extending out of the cabinet, and the cables pass through the cabinet through the cable holes.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the cabinet for the immersion liquid cooling system provided by the present application covers the wire hole by setting a sealing block linked with the cabinet door. When the cabinet door is opened, the linkage mechanism drives the sealing block to move to open the wire hole, which can facilitate the maintenance of the system and the disassembly and assembly of the cables; when the cabinet door is closed, the linkage mechanism drives the sealing block to move to cover the wire hole, which can reduce the volatilization of liquid. Since the sealing block and the cabinet door are controlled by linkage, when the cabinet door is closed, the wire hole is also covered by the sealing block, thus avoiding the problem of liquid volatilization caused by the wire hole not being covered due to omission or inconvenient operation.

[0028] In order to reduce the volatilization of liquid in the immersion liquid cooling system, the cabinet of the immersion liquid cooling system (also known as Tank in the industry) has a sealing requirement. The main body of the Tank is a relatively sealed cabinet, so the sealing parts that need to be paid attention to mainly include the cabinet door part and some wire holes for cables to pass through. The wire holes are used for the passage of power cables, network cables, optical fiber cables and other cables. The wire holes are often small and the opening positions are relatively scattered, so it is easy to miss the sealing in the prior art. Moreover, the opening positions of some wire holes are in positions that are not easy to see and inconvenient to operate, which also increases the difficulty of sealing the wire holes. The cabinet for an immersion liquid cooling system provided in the present application greatly facilitates the covering of the wire holes and reduces the volatilization of liquid.

[0029] See also Figures 1 to 3 The present application provides a cabinet 100 for an immersion liquid cooling system. The cabinet 100 includes a cabinet body 1 and a cabinet door 2 connected to the cabinet body 1 and openable and closable relative to the cabinet body 1. The cabinet body 1 is provided with a plurality of wire holes 11 for cables to pass through, and a sealing block 31 for covering the wire holes 11 is provided at the wire holes 11. The cabinet door 2 and the sealing block 31 are connected by a linkage mechanism, and the linkage mechanism is configured such that when the cabinet door 2 is opened, the linkage mechanism drives the sealing block 31 to move to open the wire holes 11 to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the cables, and when the cabinet door 2 is closed, the linkage mechanism drives the sealing block 31 to move to cover the wire holes 11 to reduce the volatilization of the liquid in the liquid cooling system.

[0030] The cabinet 100 for an immersion liquid cooling system provided in the present application has a sealing block 31 and a cabinet door 2 that are controlled in linkage. When the cabinet door 2 is closed, the wire hole 11 is also covered by the sealing block 31, thereby avoiding the problem of liquid volatilization caused by the wire hole 11 not being covered due to omissions or inconvenient operation.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the immersion liquid cooling system is a single-phase immersion liquid cooling system, that is, the liquid coolant of the immersion liquid cooling system does not undergo phase change during use. In this embodiment, the cabinet 1 is a roughly rectangular box, and an opening 101 is provided on the top of the cabinet 1, and the cabinet door 2 is provided on the top of the cabinet 1 to cover the opening 101. In one embodiment, a sealing edge is provided at the edge of the cabinet door 2, which is used to form a seal with the edge of the opening 101 when the cabinet door 2 is closed on the cabinet 1. The sealing edge can be, for example, a rubber strip, a foam strip, etc.

[0032] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the present embodiment, there are a plurality of wire-passing holes 11, which are opened at the upper edge of the cabinet body 1. Such an arrangement makes the wire-passing holes 11 close to the cabinet door 2, thereby setting a linkage mechanism between the cabinet door 2 and the sealing block 31. Furthermore, the plurality of wire-passing holes 11 are concentrated at the same upper edge of the cabinet body 1. Such an arrangement can facilitate the integrity and centralized setting of the linkage mechanism, and avoid the difficulty in setting the linkage mechanism due to the excessive dispersion of the wire-passing holes 11. The size and shape of the wire-passing holes 11 are not limited, and it is advisable to open a smaller one while satisfying the need for the cables to pass through. The size and shape of the sealing block 31 are not limited, and it is sufficient as long as it can cover the corresponding wire-passing holes 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, the sealing block 31 is a soft elastic member. The soft elastic member can seal the wire hole 11 through its own elastic deformation; at the same time, since a cable is passed through the wire hole 11, the soft elastic member can also avoid damaging the cable inside when sealing the wire hole 11. In one embodiment, the sealing block 31 is a rubber block, and in another embodiment, the sealing block 31 is a foam member.

[0034] In one embodiment, the sealing block 31, driven by the cabinet door 2 and the linkage mechanism, covers the outer side or inner side of the wire hole 11 to cover the wire hole 11. Specifically, the wire hole 11 passes through the upper part of the side wall of the cabinet 1 near the edge, and the sealing block 31 is located on the outer surface or inner surface of the upper edge of the side wall of the cabinet 1, or is arranged on the inner surface and the outer surface at the same time; when the cabinet door 2 is closed, the sealing block 31 is pushed to slide along the inner surface or outer surface of the side wall, and covers the wire hole 11 when the cabinet door 2 is closed in place. In another embodiment, the side wall of the cabinet 1 may include a double-layer wall arranged at intervals, and the double-layer wall is provided with the wire hole 11 facing each other, and the sealing block 31 can be clamped between the double-layer walls to move to open or close the wire hole 11. In another embodiment, the sealing block 31 is plugged into the wire hole 11 driven by the cabinet door 2 and the linkage mechanism to cover the wire hole 11. Specifically, the opening action of the cabinet door 2 drives the sealing block 31 to be pulled out of the wire hole 11 through the linkage mechanism, and the closing action of the cabinet door 2 drives the sealing block 31 to move into the wire hole 11 through the linkage mechanism. For the scheme in which the sealing block 31 is plugged into the wire hole 11 driven by the linkage mechanism, further, in order to facilitate plugging, the sealing block 31 can be set to be a cone with a guide structure, etc.

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the linkage mechanism includes a slide bar 3 and a hinged rod 4, one end of the hinged rod 4 is pivotally connected to the cabinet door 2, and the other end is pivotally connected to the slide bar 3. The sealing block 31 is fixed on the slide bar 3 and moves synchronously with the slide bar 3. Both ends of the hinged rod 4 are rotatably connected. When the cabinet door 2 is in an open state, the hinged rod 4 rotates to a state intersecting with the cabinet door 2 and the slide bar 3, and pulls the slide bar 3 to slide, so as to drive the sealing block 31 to open the wire hole 11; when the cabinet door 2 is in a closed state, the hinged rod 4 rotates to a state roughly parallel to the cabinet door 2 and the slide bar 3, and pushes the slide bar 3 to slide, so as to drive the sealing block 31 to cover the wire hole 11. Furthermore, in order to make the sliding of the slide bar 3 more stable, a slide groove (not shown) for accommodating and guiding the sliding of the slide bar 3 is provided on the cabinet body 1. In this embodiment, the cabinet door 2 includes two door bodies that open opposite to each other, and the hinge rod 4 is connected to one of the door bodies; specifically, the cabinet door 2 includes a first door body 21 and a second door body 22, and the hinge rod 4 is connected to the first door body 21. In another embodiment, the linkage mechanism can be configured to be connected to both the first door body 21 and the second door body 22, and the opening and closing of any door body drives the movement of the sealing block 31. In some other embodiments, the cabinet door 2 is not limited to being opened by hinges, and the cabinet door 2 can also be opened by sliding or other opening methods.

[0036] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in Figure 3 In the closed state of the cabinet door 2 shown in the figure, when the cabinet door 2 is pulled outward to open, the first door body 21 of the cabinet door 2 drives the slide bar 3 to move leftward through the hinge rod 4, so that the sealing block 31 connected to the slide bar 3 moves leftward to expose the wire hole 11, forming a Figure 1 The status shown in the figure is convenient for system maintenance and cable plugging and unplugging. Figure 1 In the state where the cabinet door 2 is open, when the cabinet door 2 is pushed inward to close, the first door body 21 of the cabinet door 2 drives the slide bar 3 to move rightward through the hinge rod 4, so that the sealing block 31 connected to the slide bar 3 moves rightward to cover the wire hole 11, forming a Figure 3 In the state shown, at this time, when the cabinet door 2 is closed, the wire holes 11 are also covered and sealed. Since the state of the cabinet door 2 is easy to see, the operation and maintenance personnel can intuitively see whether the cabinet door 2 is closed after the operation and maintenance. Due to the setting of the linkage mechanism, as long as the cabinet door 2 is closed, all the corresponding wire holes 11 are already sealed, so there is no need to check and seal all the wire holes 11 separately, which greatly improves the convenience of operation and maintenance, eliminates the situation where the sealing block 31 is missing at the wire hole 11, reduces the volatilization of the liquid, and improves the stability of the long-term operation of the system.

[0037] The present application also provides an immersion liquid cooling system, which includes a cabinet 100 as described above, wherein there is no server immersed in the cabinet 100, and the server has a plurality of cables extending out of the cabinet 100, and the cables pass through the cabinet 100 through the cable holes 11.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the cabinet 100 for the immersion liquid cooling system provided by the present application covers the wire hole 11 by setting a sealing block 31 linked with the cabinet door 2. When the cabinet door 2 is opened, the linkage mechanism drives the sealing block 31 to move to open the wire hole 11, which can facilitate the maintenance of the system and the disassembly and assembly of the cables; when the cabinet door 2 is closed, the linkage mechanism drives the sealing block 31 to move to cover the wire hole 11, which can reduce the volatilization of liquid. Since the sealing block 31 and the cabinet door 2 are controlled by linkage, when the cabinet door 2 is closed, the wire hole 11 is also covered by the sealing block 31, thereby avoiding the problem of liquid volatilization caused by the wire hole 11 not being covered due to omissions or inconvenient operation.

[0039] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of patent protection of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
