[0002] A supercomputer is a computer that can perform large amounts of data and high-speed calculations that ordinary personal computers cannot handle. Supercomputers quickly generate a lot of heat during operation. Excessive heat has a greater impact on the internal components of supercomputers. In order to reduce the heat of supercomputers, the supercomputer servers are generally placed in the cabinet of a supercomputer cooling cabinet to cool the servers.

[0003] The existing supercomputer cooling cabinet has a cooling medium stored inside the cabinet. The server is placed inside the cabinet and immersed in the cooling medium. The server exchanges heat with the cooling medium and the cooling medium evaporates to further remove the heat of the server. After the evaporated cooling medium enters the liquefaction device on the cover of the supercomputer cooling cabinet, the evaporated cooling medium is cooled by the liquefaction device and converted into liquid again, and flows back to the cabinet of the supercomputer cooling cabinet for circulation and cooling.

[0004] However, after the cooling medium evaporates for a long time, the reserve of liquid cooling medium inside the cabinet of the supercomputer cooling cabinet is reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to replenish the liquid cooling medium in the cabinet of the supercomputer cooling cabinet in time, but it is difficult for the staff to grasp the liquid level of the cooling medium inside the cabinet of the supercomputer cooling cabinet in real time. Therefore, it is difficult for the staff to accurately control the amount of liquid replenished into the cabinet of the supercomputer cooling cabinet. Utility Model Content

[0029] The following is combined with Figure 1-Figure 5 This application is described in further detail.

[0030] The embodiment of the present application discloses a coolant level monitoring device for a supercomputer cooling cabinet.

[0031] A coolant level monitoring device for a supercomputer cooling cabinet comprises a mounting seat 1, a control valve 2, a measuring tube 3 and a limit assembly 4.

[0032] The mounting base 1 is installed near the supercomputer cold zone cabinet. In order to improve the placement stability of the mounting base 1, the cross-sectional area of ​​the mounting base 1 gradually increases from top to bottom. A placement groove 11 is provided at the top center of the mounting base 1 in the vertical direction. The cross section of the placement groove 11 is polygonal. In the embodiment of the present application, the cross section of the placement groove 11 is a quadrilateral.

[0033] A connecting pipe 12 is installed between the mounting base 1 and the supercomputer cooling cabinet. One end of the connecting pipe 12 is connected to the interior of the cabinet 5 of the supercomputer cooling cabinet, and the other end of the connecting pipe 12 is connected to the interior of the placement groove 11 inside the mounting base 1. The mounting base 1 and the cabinet 5 of the supercomputer cooling cabinet form a connecting vessel through the connecting pipe 12.

[0034] The control valve 2 includes a static control valve 2 , a dynamic control valve 2 and a drive unit 23 .

[0035] The static control valve 2 includes a fixed rod 211 and a fixed disk 212. A plurality of fixed rods 211 are provided, and the length direction of the plurality of fixed rods 211 is consistent with the length direction of the placement slot 11. The bottom end of each fixed rod 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the placement slot 11. In the embodiment of the present application, two fixed rods 211 are provided. The fixed disk 212 is located at the top of the fixed rod 211, and the axial direction of the fixed disk 212 is parallel to the axial direction of the fixed rod 211. The top of the fixed rod 211 and the bottom of the fixed disk 212 are fixedly connected.

[0036] The dynamic control valve 2 includes a sliding column 221, and a connecting hole 222 penetrating the sliding column 221 is provided at the top of the sliding column 221 in the vertical direction. The connecting hole 222 is located at the center of the sliding column 221, and the cross-sectional shape of the sliding column 221 corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the placement groove 11. The length direction of the fixed rod 211 corresponds to the length direction of the sliding column 221, and two fixed rods 211 penetrate the sliding column 221, and each fixed rod 211 is in sealing and sliding cooperation with the sliding column 221, and the sliding column 221 is in sealing and sliding cooperation with the inside of the placement groove 11.

[0037] The driving unit 23 includes two driving springs, which correspond to the two fixing rods 211 one by one. The driving springs are sleeved on the outer periphery of the corresponding fixing rods 211. One end of the driving spring contacts the bottom of the inner wall of the placement groove 11, and the other end of the driving spring contacts the bottom of the sliding column 221.

[0038] When the measuring tube is not installed, the driving spring presses the sliding column 221 against the fixed disk 212 and seals the fixed disk 212 and the sliding top end, thereby reducing the possibility of the cooling medium overflowing from the connecting hole 222 on the sliding column 221 .

[0039] The measuring tube 3 includes a cylinder 31 and a tightening ring 32. The cylinder 31 is transparent to facilitate observation by the staff. In order to facilitate the staff to read the liquid level, the surface of the cylinder 31 is also provided with scale marks along the length direction of the cylinder 31. The top end of the cylinder 31 is sealed, and the bottom end of the cylinder 31 is provided with an opening.

[0040] The clamping ring 32 is installed at the opening of the cylinder 31, the clamping ring 32 and the cylinder 31 are coaxial, the side of the clamping ring 32 close to the opening of the cylinder 31 is flush with the end of the opening of the cylinder 31, and the inner ring wall of the clamping ring 32 and the outer ring wall of the cylinder 31 are sealed and fixedly installed.

[0041] There are several limiter assemblies 4, and in the embodiment of the present application, there are four limiter assemblies 4. The limiter assemblies 4 include a sliding member 41 and a limiter 42. The sliding member 41 is a sliding bar, and the sliding bar and the top of the mounting seat 1 are slidably matched. The limiter 42 is a limiter plate, and the limiter plate is an arc plate, and the arc center of the limiter plate is located on the side of the limiter plate close to the measuring tube 3.

[0042] When placing the measuring tube 3, the cylinder 31 is sleeved on the fixed disk 212, and the clamping ring 32 and the top of the sliding column 221 are sealed and contacted. Then, the cylinder 31 is pushed again, so that the clamping ring 32 pushes the sliding column 221 to slide on the fixed rod 211, so that the sliding column 221 is separated from the contact with the fixed disk 212, and then, the sliding bar is slid on the top of the mounting seat 1, so that the bottom of the limit plate and the top of the clamping ring 32 are in contact. At this time, the sliding column 221 presses the clamping ring 32 on the limit plate under the elastic force of the driving spring, so as to improve the convenience and stability of placing the measuring tube 3.

[0043] The implementation principle of a coolant level monitoring device for a supercomputer cooling cabinet in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the mounting seat 1 is placed at a position close to the supercomputer cooling cabinet, and the placement groove 11 inside the mounting seat 1 forms a communicating vessel through the connecting pipe 12 and the cabinet body 5 of the supercomputer cooling cabinet. The driving spring controls the sliding column 221 to slide on the fixed rod 211. When the measuring tube 3 is not installed on the mounting seat 1, the elastic force of the driving spring drives the sliding column 221 to slide on the fixed rod 211, so that the sliding column 221 and the fixed disk 212 are sealed and abutted, so that the fixed disk 212 seals the connecting hole 222 on the sliding column 221, thereby reducing the possibility of the cooling medium overflowing from the connecting hole 222 on the sliding column 221; when installing the measuring tube 3, the measuring tube 3 is sleeved on the outside of the fixed disk 212, and the tightening ring 32 of the measuring tube 3 is in abutment with the sliding column 221, and continues to pass through the measuring tube 3. The measuring tube 3 squeezes the sliding column 221, so that the end of the sliding column 221 breaks the interference with the fixed disk 212, and then the sliding bar slides on the mounting seat 1, and the limiting plate limits the clamping ring 32 through the sliding bar, thereby reducing the possibility of the measuring tube moving upward in the vertical direction again. At this time, since the end of the sliding column 221 breaks the interference with the fixed disk 212, the cooling medium inside the placement groove 11 enters the measuring tube through the connecting hole 222. The liquid level height of the cooling medium inside the measuring tube 3 allows the staff to easily judge the storage amount of liquid cooling medium inside the cabinet 5 of the supercomputer cooling cabinet.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
