[0033] The present utility model will be described based on embodiments, but the present utility model is not limited to these embodiments. In the following detailed description of the present utility model, some specific details are described in detail. In order to avoid obscuring the essence of the present utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, and components are not described in detail.

[0034] In addition, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the drawings provided herein are for illustrative purposes only, and the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0035] Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the words "including", "comprising", and similar words throughout the specification and claims should be construed in an inclusive sense rather than an exclusive or exhaustive sense; that is, the meaning of "including but not limited to".

[0036] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. In addition, in the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0037] In a first aspect, referring to Figures 1-4 and 6, the present utility model provides a supercomputer server, including a chassis 100 and a liquid-cooled computing module 200. The chassis 100 includes a cover plate 150, a bottom plate 160, a first side plate 110, a second side plate 120, a third side plate 130, and a fourth side plate 140 that are sequentially connected end to end. Each side plate is connected to the same side of the bottom plate 160 to form a receiving space 170 with the bottom plate 160; the bottom plate 160, the second side plate 120, and the fourth side plate 140 all extend beyond the first side plate 110 to form a protection space 180; wherein, a first slot hole 111 and a second slot hole 112 are provided on the first side plate 110; the cover plate 150 covers the receiving space 170;

[0038] The liquid-cooled computing module 200 includes a computing power board, and the computing power board includes multiple columns of chip groups arranged on the same surface of the computing power board. The multiple columns of chip groups are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the computing power board. Each chip group includes a plurality of chips connected in series, and the circuits between the multiple columns of chip groups are connected in parallel;

[0039] The liquid-cooled operation module 200 has a first end wall 210, a first medium port 220, and a second medium port 230. The first medium port 220 and the second medium port 230 extend out of the first end wall 210. The liquid-cooled operation module 200 is installed in the accommodation space 170. The first end wall 210 is adjacent to the first side plate 110. The first medium port 220 and the second medium port 230 respectively extend out of the first slot hole 111 and the second slot hole 112, and the parts of both extending out of the first side plate 110 are located in the protection space 180.

[0040] Specifically, in the supercomputer server of the present invention, the operation module is cooled by using a liquid-cooling method with a coolant. The corresponding coolant flow channels are integrated in the operation module to form the liquid-cooled operation module 200, and its first medium port 220 and second medium port 230 are the inlet and outlet of the coolant (the present invention does not limit which of the first medium port 220 and the second medium port 230 is the inlet of the coolant and which is the outlet of the coolant, and the functions of coolant inflow and coolant outflow can be respectively assigned to these two ports according to actual usage needs). The liquid-cooled operation module 200 is one of the core components of the supercomputer server, so it is installed in the accommodation space 170 formed by the chassis 100.

[0041] The above-mentioned accommodation space 170 is formed in such a way that the chassis 100 includes a cover plate 150, a bottom plate 160, a first side plate 110, a second side plate 120, a third side plate 130, and a fourth side plate 140 that are connected end to end in sequence. And each side plate is connected to the same side of the bottom plate 160 and forms the accommodation space 170 together with the bottom plate 160. And the accommodation space 170 is covered by the cover plate 150 so that the accommodation space 170 is at least substantially airtight to prevent the components installed therein from being damaged by external impacts, interferences, etc. as much as possible.

[0042] Within the accommodation space 170, the first end wall 210 of the liquid-cooled operation module 200 is arranged adjacent to the first side plate 110 of the chassis 100. The term "adjacent" means that the first end wall 210 is in close contact with the first side plate 110, or even if there is a gap between the first end wall 210 and the first side plate 110, this gap is inevitable (for example, due to installation condition limitations, even with common and mature installation means, it is impossible to avoid the appearance of a gap). The purpose of this "adjacent" arrangement is that after the first medium port 220 and the second medium port 230 of the liquid-cooled operation module 200 extend from the first end wall 210, they can respectively extend out of the accommodation space 170 through the first slot 111 and the second slot 112 of the first side plate 110 of the chassis 100. In this way, there is no need to set an additional adapter joint within the accommodation space 170 for connecting one end to the first medium port 220 / the second medium port 230 and extending out through the corresponding slot on the first side plate 110, effectively preventing the occurrence of liquid leakage caused by the adapter joint within the accommodation space 170. The specific shapes of the first slot 111 and the second slot 112 are not limited. They can be completely enclosed on the periphery or not completely enclosed circumferentially, as long as they can mainly function to allow the corresponding medium ports to extend out.

[0043] The parts of the first medium port 220 and the second medium port 230 extending out of the first side plate 110 are located within the protection space 180 formed by the chassis 100. The protection space 180 is surrounded by the parts of the bottom, the second side plate 120, and the fourth side plate 140 that respectively extend out of the first side plate 110 (obviously not in a completely enclosed form on all six sides). Thus, on the one hand, the parts of the first medium port 220 and the second medium port 230 extending out of the first side plate 110 can be protected accordingly, and on the other hand, it does not prevent the first medium port 220 and the second medium port 230 from being smoothly connected to an external coolant supply device to obtain coolant supply.

[0044] As can be seen from the above, the present utility model forms an accommodation space 170 and a protection space 180 in the chassis 100 of the supercomputer server. The first end wall 210 of the liquid-cooled operation module 200 located within the accommodation space 170 is adjacent to the first side plate 110 of the chassis 100. After the first medium port 220 and the second medium port 230 extend out of the first end wall 210, they respectively extend out of the accommodation space 170 through the first slot 111 and the second slot 112 of the first side plate 110. Thereby, the occurrence of liquid leakage inside the accommodation space 170 of the chassis 100 is effectively avoided. The parts of the first medium port 220 and the second medium port 230 extending out of the first side plate 110 are located within the protection space 180 and are not easily damaged by the outside, further improving the working reliability. Moreover, the overall structural form of this supercomputer server is simple and easy to assemble, which can greatly improve the assembly efficiency.

[0045] Preferably, with particular reference to the attached Figures 2-4 , the first side plate 110 is further provided with a third slot 113 and a fourth slot 114; the supercomputer server further includes a liquid-cooled power module 300 and a connecting pipeline 400,

[0046] The liquid-cooled power module 300 has a second end wall 310, a third medium port 320 and a fourth medium port 330, and the third medium port 320 and the fourth medium port 330 extend out of the second end wall 310; the liquid-cooled power module 300 is installed in the accommodation space 170, the second end wall 310 faces the first side plate 110, and the third medium port 320 and the fourth medium port 330 extend out of the third slot 113 and the fourth slot 114 respectively;

[0047] Both ends of the connecting pipeline 400 are respectively connected to the second medium port 230 and the third medium port 320; and the parts of the third medium port 320 and the fourth medium port 330 extending out of the first side plate 110, as well as the connecting pipeline 400, are all located in the protection space 180.

[0048] Specifically, in the supercomputer server of the present invention, the power module is also cooled by using liquid cooling with coolant. The corresponding coolant flow channels are integrated in the computing module to form the liquid-cooled power module 300, and its third medium port 320 and fourth medium port 330 are the coolant inlets and outlets (the present invention also does not limit which of the third medium port 320 and the fourth medium port 330 is the coolant inlet and which is the coolant outlet, and it can be flexibly determined according to actual use needs). The liquid-cooled power module 300 is also installed in the accommodation space 170 formed by the chassis 100.

[0049] After the third medium port 320 and the fourth medium port 330 of the liquid-cooled power module 300 extend out of its second end wall 310 respectively, they directly extend out of the third slot 113 and the fourth slot 114 of the first side plate 110 of the chassis 100, that is, there is no need to set an additional adapter in the accommodation space 170 to connect one end to the third medium port 320 / fourth medium port 330 and extend out through the corresponding slotted holes on the first side plate 110 at the other end, effectively preventing the occurrence of liquid leakage caused by the adapter in the accommodation space 170. The specific shapes of the third slot 113 and the fourth slot 114 are not limited either. They can be completely enclosed around or not completely enclosed circumferentially, as long as they can mainly function to allow the corresponding medium ports to extend out.

[0050] Moreover, the parts of the third medium port 320 and the fourth medium port 330 extending out of the first side plate 110 are also located in the protection space 180 formed by the chassis 100 and can be correspondingly protected.

[0051] The connecting pipeline 400 can be connected to the second medium port 230 and the third medium port 320 respectively, so that the cooling liquid used in the liquid cooling computing module 200 and the liquid cooling power supply module 300 can communicate with each other. In a specific example, the cooling liquid can first pass through the liquid cooling computing module 200, flow out from the second medium port 230, and then enter the liquid cooling power supply module 300 through the connecting pipeline 400 and into the third medium port 320. Of course, the flow mode of the cooling liquid can also be exactly opposite to the foregoing example, which can be flexibly set and selected according to actual usage requirements.

[0052] Preferably, with particular reference to Appendices Figure 2 、 4 and 5, the chassis 100 further includes a liquid baffle 500. The liquid baffle 500 includes a bottom liquid baffle portion 510. The bottom liquid baffle portion 510 is arranged along the bottom plate 160 to extend beyond the edge of the first side plate 110 and is opposite to the first side plate 110.

[0053] Specifically, the purpose of setting the liquid baffle 500 is to prevent liquid leakage at the connection when connecting an external cooling liquid supply device outside the first side plate 110 for each medium port. At this time, the leaked liquid can be blocked by the liquid baffle 500, and its outflow outside the chassis 100 is minimized to avoid polluting the environment outside the chassis 100.

[0054] The bottom liquid baffle portion 510 in the liquid baffle 500 can be arranged to extend along the bottom plate 160 beyond the edge of the first side plate 110 and is opposite to the first side plate 110, thereby blocking the leaked liquid between the liquid baffle 510 and the first side plate 110 and being supported by the bottom plate 160.

[0055] Preferably, with particular reference to Appendices Figure 5 , the liquid baffle 500 further includes a side liquid baffle portion 520. The side liquid baffle portion 520 is arranged along the second side plate 120 and the fourth side plate 140 to extend beyond the edge of the first side plate 110 and is opposite to the first side plate 110.

[0056] To further improve the liquid blocking effect, the liquid baffle 500 can also include a side liquid baffle portion 520. The side liquid baffle portion 520 can be divided into two parts. One part is arranged to extend along the second side plate beyond the edge of the first side plate; the other part is arranged to extend along the fourth side plate beyond the edge of the first side plate. In this way, the side liquid baffle portion 520 and the bottom liquid baffle portion 510 are connected end to end to form a U-shaped or U-shaped-like structure, and the liquid blocking effect is further improved.

[0057] Preferably, the liquid baffle 500 is an integrally formed component.

[0058] With the above settings, the liquid baffle 500 can be machined at one time, which is beneficial to improving the manufacturing and assembly efficiency thereof.

[0060] Preferably, the number of the liquid discharge groove holes 161 is four, which are respectively located at the four corners of the part of the bottom plate 160 extending out of the first side plate 110.

[0061] With the above arrangement of the liquid discharge groove holes 161, the leaked liquid collected in the liquid baffle 500 can be discharged in time. Correspondingly, a liquid receiving container can also be provided at the corresponding external position below the liquid discharge groove holes 161 to collect the leaked liquid and prevent it from flowing randomly to cause unnecessary pollution.

[0062] Preferably, with reference to the appendix Figure 6 , the supercomputer server further includes a first connector 610 and a second connector. The first connector 610 is connected to the first medium port 220, the second connector is connected to the second medium port 230, and both the first connector 610 and the second connector are located in the protection space 180.

And the first connector 610 and the fourth connector 620 also support quick connection with external devices. While realizing the two-way water stop function, it is also convenient for external devices to be quickly removed from the corresponding connectors for maintenance, repair, or replacement.
