The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0040] The present utility model provides a water cooling device 10, aiming to solve the problems of high cost, large occupied space, difficult wiring, inconvenient maintenance, etc. of traditional water cooling radiator kits. As Figure 1 And Figure 2 Shown in, the water cooling device 1 includes: a water radiator 100, a plurality of water cooling modules 200, a cooling pipe group 300, a power supply wire group 400, and a tool rack 500.
[0041] Among them, a plurality of water cooling modules 200 are connected to the water row 100 through the cooling tube group 300, and a coolant is arranged inside the cooling tube group 300, and the coolant circulates between the water row 100, the cooling tube group 300 and the water cooling module 200. The tool rack 500 is connected to the plurality of water cooling modules 200, and the tool rack 500 covers the plurality of water cooling modules 200. The power supply line group 400 is arranged between the water cooling module 200 and the tool rack 500, and the power supply line group 400 is used to supply power to the water cooling module 200. At the same time, the cooling tube group 300 is arranged around the outer periphery of the side wall of the tool rack 500.
[0042] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple pairs of cooling pipe groups 300, and each pair of cooling pipe groups 300 includes: a main line water outlet pipe 310, a main line water inlet pipe 320, and a branch pipe 330. A receiving port 101 is provided on one side of the water row 100, and the main line water outlet pipe 310 and the main line water inlet pipe 320 are plugged into the receiving port 101.
[0043] Preferably, Figure 3 As shown, a support frame 110 is provided on the side wall of the water row 100, and the main line water outlet pipe 310 and the main line water inlet pipe 320 are installed on the support frame 110, that is, the support frame 110 plays a role in limiting and fixing the cooling pipe group 300, thereby reducing the vibration of the main line water outlet pipe 310 or the main line water inlet pipe 320 and causing the loosening of the connecting port 101.
[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the branch pipe 330 connects two adjacent water-cooling modules 200, and the coolant in the two water-cooling modules 200 is circulated through the branch pipe 330. In addition, the branch pipe 330 is provided with a first interface end 331 and a second interface end 332, the main line water outlet pipe 310 is connected to the first interface end 331, and the main line water inlet pipe 320 is connected to the second interface end 332.
[0045] Preferably, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are four water cooling modules 200, which are arranged in two rows and two columns, and two water cooling modules 200 in the same column are connected to each other through a branch pipe 330. Taking one pair of cooling pipe groups 300 as an example, when working, the coolant flows out of the water drain 100, passes through the main line water outlet pipe 310, the two water cooling modules 200 in the same column, and the main line water inlet pipe 320 in sequence, and then returns to the water drain 100.
[0046] It should be noted that depending on the different settings of the branch pipe fitting 330, there may be different flow patterns when the coolant flows through the two water cooling modules 200. Therefore, the branch pipe fitting 330 in this embodiment is specially designed to enable the coolant to flow through the two water cooling modules 200 in the same column simultaneously.
[0047] Specifically, in the traditional flow pattern, the coolant in the main outlet pipe 310 enters the first water cooling module 200. After being cooled once, the coolant then flows into the second water cooling module 200 through the branch pipe fitting 330, and then is cooled a second time. Finally, it returns to the water radiator 100 through the main inlet pipe 320. In the flow pattern of this embodiment, the coolant in the main outlet pipe 310 preferentially enters the branch pipe fitting 330 through the first interface end 331, and then is split by the branch pipe fitting 330 into the two water cooling modules 200. After being cooled, the coolant of the two water cooling modules 200 respectively flows into the branch pipe fitting 330, and finally converges into the main inlet pipe 320 through the second interface end 332, and finally returns to the water radiator 100 again. Such a flow pattern enables the coolant temperatures in the two water cooling modules 200 to be kept consistent, thereby ensuring that the two water cooling modules 200 can achieve the same cooling effect.
[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the power supply wire group 400 includes a positioning block 410 and multiple power supply wires 420. The number of power supply wires 420 corresponds to the number of water cooling modules 200, and each power supply wire 420 is electrically connected to one water cooling module 200. At the same time, the positioning block 410 is arranged between the water cooling module 200 and the tool rack 500, and the multiple power supply wires 420 pass through the positioning block 410, and the ends of the power supply wires 420 are provided with wiring terminals 421 for connecting to an external power supply.
[0049] Compared with the traditional water cooling radiator kit, the water cooling device 10 of the present utility model has beneficial effects such as small occupied space, simple and convenient wiring, and convenient maintenance. These beneficial effects are mainly achieved by the following structural features, specifically as follows:
[0050] Firstly, each electrical device corresponds to one water cooling module 200, and the multiple water cooling modules 200 of the present utility model share one water radiator 100. In this way, not only the heat dissipation performance of the water radiator 100 is fully utilized, reducing the unnecessary number of water radiators 100, but also the occupied space is reduced and the corresponding cost is lowered;
[0051] Second, the design of sharing the radiator 100 by multiple water cooling modules 200 also makes the distribution of the cooling pipelines clearer. This is because after sharing a single radiator 100, the pipeline directions of multiple water cooling modules 200 become consistent, and the cooling pipe group 300 is wound around the outer periphery of the side wall of the tool rack 500. In this way, even if the cooling pipe group 300 includes multiple pipelines, these pipelines will not intersect with each other. Further, the cooling pipe group 300 further includes branch pipe fittings 330, and the setting of the branch pipe fittings 330 enables the adjacent two water cooling modules 200 to communicate with each other. In this way, every two water cooling modules 200 can share a main outgoing water pipe 310 and a main incoming water pipe 320, thereby reducing the number of pipelines, lowering the wiring difficulty, and achieving simple and convenient wiring;
[0052] Third, the power supply wire 420 is arranged between the water cooling module 200 and the tool rack 500, and the cooling pipe group 300 is wound around the outer periphery of the side wall of the tool rack 500, so that the "circuit" and the "water circuit" are staggered from each other, thereby reducing the risk of leakage. Moreover, when overhauling the "water circuit", the maintenance personnel can directly detect the cooling pipe group 300 exposed outside the tool rack 500; when overhauling the "circuit", the maintenance personnel only need to open the tool rack 500 to detect the power supply wire group 400. Their positions are clear and will not intersect with each other, which brings convenience to the overhaul.
[0053] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, each water cooling module 200 includes a water cooling body 210 and a heat conducting plate body 220. The water cooling body 210 is installed on the heat conducting plate body 220 through spring bolts 230. A water pump (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the water cooling body 210. The power supply wire group 400 is electrically connected to the water pump, and the water pump is used to promote the flow of the coolant.
[0054] Preferably, as Figure 4 shown, a water replenisher 510 is provided on the tool rack 500. The water replenisher 510 is communicated with the water cooling body 210 of the water cooling module 200, and the water replenisher 510 is used to replenish the coolant for the water cooling module 200.
[0055] The coolant of the present utility model can be any kind of cooling fluid, such as water, water containing a mildew-proof additive, water containing an additive for improving heat conduction, or other cooling fluids with special components, such as non-conductive liquids or liquids containing lubricant additives or anti-corrosion additives. Preferably, considering the cost and service life comprehensively, water containing a mildew-proof additive is used as the coolant in this embodiment.
[0056] During the operation of the water pump, the water cooling module 200 will vibrate, and the spring bolts 230 will vibrate accordingly. To prevent contact friction between the spring bolts 230 and the main water outlet pipe 310 or the main water inlet pipe 320, which may cause wear to the main water outlet pipe 310 or the main water inlet pipe 320, in one embodiment, an auxiliary isolation plate 520 is installed on the tool rack 500. The auxiliary isolation plate 520 is used to fix the cooling pipe group 300, prevent the cooling pipe group 300 from shifting, and ensure that the cooling pipe group 300 is stably wound around the outer periphery of the side wall of the tool rack 500.
[0057] In one embodiment, the main water outlet pipe 310 includes a lining hose and a braided outer jacket (not shown in the figure), and the braided outer jacket wraps and adheres to the lining hose. Moreover, the main water inlet pipe 320 has the same structure as the main water outlet pipe 310. This design can enhance the wear resistance of the main water outlet pipe 310 and the main water inlet pipe 320, making it not easy to leak. Preferably, the lining hose is made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) material structure.
[0058] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the tool rack 500 is provided with an installation plane 501, an installation through groove 502 is opened on the installation plane 501, and there is a gap between the installation plane 501 and the heat conduction plate body 220. The installation through groove 502 can facilitate the installation and fixation of other devices to the tool rack 500. The setting of the gap is both for placing the water cooling module 200 and the power supply wire group 400 and for the need to screw in bolts when installing other devices.
[0059] In the present utility model, the working principle of the water radiator 100 can refer to the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN211827173U and the name "Computer Liquid Cooling System". It discloses a radiator with a built-in fluid tank, and the radiator includes a first cavity, a second cavity, and a plurality of longitudinal fluid channels connecting the first cavity and the second cavity. When the coolant flows through the radiator, heat exchange with the outside air is achieved. Of course, different from the prior art, the water radiator 100 of the present utility model only realizes water outlet and water inlet on one side, which requires an adaptive improvement in the structure of the water radiator 100.
[0060] The specific structure is as follows:
[0061] As Figure 7 shown, the water radiator 100 includes: a right shell 120, a left shell 130, a plurality of intermediate fluid channels 140, and heat dissipation fins (not shown in the figure). Among them, the right shell 120 is divided into a first chamber 121 and a second chamber 122, and the left shell 130 is divided into a third chamber 131 and a fourth chamber 132.
[0062] The first chamber 121 and the third chamber 131 are connected through an intermediate fluid passage 140. The second chamber 122 and the fourth chamber 132 are connected through an intermediate fluid passage 140. The third chamber 131 and the fourth chamber 132 are connected to each other. Heat dissipation gaps are formed between multiple intermediate fluid passages 140. The heat sink is attached to the intermediate fluid passage 140 and disposed at the heat dissipation gaps.
[0063] During operation, the coolant enters the first chamber 121 from the main inlet water pipe 320, then flows through the intermediate fluid passage 140 into the third chamber 131, and then enters the fourth chamber 132. Subsequently, it flows through the intermediate fluid passage 140 again from the fourth chamber 132 into the second chamber 122, and finally flows to the water cooling module 200 through the main outlet water pipe 310. During the process of the coolant flowing through the intermediate fluid passage 140, the heat of the coolant will be transferred to the heat sink and finally complete heat exchange with the outside air.
[0064] In summary, the water cooling device 10 of the present utility model can solve problems such as large space occupation and difficult wiring of traditional water cooling radiator kits, thereby achieving concise wiring, providing convenience for subsequent maintenance, and reducing the overall cost of the product.
[0065] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
