Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to a connecting device for a liquid leakage detection system. Background Art

[0002] For the leakage problem of the pipeline in the liquid cooling server scenario, a leakage detection sensor is usually used for leakage detection. Among them, the leakage detection sensor consists of two parts: a detector and a thin film detection electrode. The length of the thin film detection electrode matches the liquid cooling pipeline. Different pipelines correspond to leakage detection electrodes of different lengths. When installed and used, the thin film leakage detection electrode is wrapped around the outer wall of the liquid cooling plate pipeline. One or both ends of the detection electrode have a thin film lead connector. Multiple detection electrodes are connected through thin film lead connectors and connectors. The detection electrode is finally connected to the detector through the thin film lead connector at the end. The detector detects the signal change of the electrode facing the pipeline side after contacting the leaked coolant through the electrical signal detection to identify whether there is a leakage. For the leakage detection scenario of a single-channel or dual-channel cold plate, the connection between the thin film lead connectors needs to be realized by a 1-to-1 connector. For the leakage detection scenario of four-channel, six-channel or more cold plates, a 1-to-2 or 1-to-4 connector is also required.
