Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a water-cooled pump connection unit, in particular to a water-cooled pump connection structure which is communicated with a water block, a radiator and a plurality of pumps, can continuously drive the working liquid to circulate, can increase the pressure and reduce the water leakage. Background Art

[0002] In order to reduce the working temperature of the heat generating components inside the electronic device, the conventional technology absorbs the heat of the heat source through a heat absorption surface of a water block. The water block is respectively connected to a pump and a radiator through two pipes, and the pump drives the working liquid (or called water-cooling liquid) to absorb heat from the water block and flow to the radiator for heat dissipation, and continuously circulates.

[0003] The conventional technology usually only uses a single pump. When the pump is damaged, the entire system cannot operate at all. If it is not immediately discovered and repaired, it will cause overheating damage to the electronic device. In addition, only one pump is set, and the maximum pressure for driving the working liquid is fixed, and the pressure cannot be increased additionally. If it is necessary to increase the pressure additionally and at the same time solve the problem that the entire water-cooling system cannot operate when a single pump is damaged, the conventional technology is to connect a plurality of pumps in series with a plurality of pipes to achieve the effect of increasing the pressure, and when one of the pumps is damaged, the other pumps can still continue to operate.

[0004] However, in the conventional technology, all the pumps are connected in series with a plurality of pipes. Whether the pipes are plastic pipes or metal pipes, there will be problems of aging and water leakage. The more pumps connected in series with pipes, the more possible positions of water leakage.

[0005] Therefore, how to solve the above problems is the direction that the researchers in this field need to strive for. Summary of the Utility Model

Detailed implementation mode

[0028] The above objects, structural and functional characteristics of the present utility model will be described with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the present utility model provides a water-cooled pump connection unit, which includes a body 1 for communicating with a water-cooled head 7, a water-cooled radiator 8, and a plurality of pumps 21, 22. The water-cooled head 7 has a water-cooled head inlet 71 and a water-cooled head outlet 72, which are respectively connected to the body 1 through a pipe 91 and 92; the water-cooled radiator 8 has a water-cooled radiator inlet 81 and a water-cooled radiator outlet 82 in the shape of a tubular protrusion, which are inserted into the body 1. In this way, the plurality of pumps 21, 22 drive the working liquid to circulate between the water-cooled head 7 and the water-cooled radiator 8 through the body 1.

[0030] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 , which is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the water-cooled pump connection unit of the present utility model; Figure 4 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of another perspective of the water-cooled pump connection unit of the present utility model; Figure 5 is the Figure 4 three-dimensional schematic diagram of the 5-5 sectional line of the water-cooled pump connection unit of the present utility model; Figure 6 is the Figure 4 three-dimensional schematic diagram of the 6-6 sectional line of the water-cooled pump connection unit of the present utility model; Figure 7A and Figure 7B are exploded schematic diagrams of the water-cooled pump connection unit of the present utility model with the pumps inserted. As Figures 3 - 6 shown, the water-cooled pump connection unit includes a body 1. A front surface (first surface) of the body 1 has a first inlet 11 and a first outlet 12 arranged vertically. A back surface (second surface) of the body 1 has a first water outlet hole 131, a first water inlet hole 141, a second water outlet hole 132, and a second water inlet hole 142 arranged in two rows vertically. A side surface (third surface) of the body 1 has a second inlet 15 and a second outlet 16 arranged vertically.

[0031] In the present embodiment, the first water outlet hole 131 and the first water inlet hole 141 on the back surface of the body 1 are arranged in the upper row or the left row, and the second water outlet hole 132 and the second water inlet hole 142 are arranged in the lower row or the right row (which can be set according to requirements). The first inlet 11 and the first outlet 12 on the front surface of the body 1 are respectively communicated with the first water outlet hole 131 and the second water inlet hole 142; the second outlet 16 and the second inlet 15 on the side surface of the body 1 are respectively communicated with the first water inlet hole 141 and the second water outlet hole 132. Furthermore, the second water inlet hole 142 is located below the first water outlet hole 131, and a first communication hole 19 is provided between the two.

[0032] With the above settings, in cooperation with Figure 7AAs shown, a first pump 21 and a second pump 22 are arranged in an up-and-down stacked manner. The first pump 21 has a first pump inlet 211 and a first pump outlet 212 protruding in a tubular shape. The first and second pump inlets and outlets 211 and 212 are respectively plugged into the first water outlet hole 131 and the first water inlet hole 141 in the upper row correspondingly, so that the first inlet 11 on the front of the body 1 is connected to the first pump inlet 211, and the second outlet 16 on the side of the body 1 is connected to the first pump outlet 212. Similarly, the second pump 22 has a second pump inlet 221 and a second pump outlet 222 protruding in a tubular shape. The second pump inlets and outlets 221 and 222 are respectively plugged into the second water outlet hole 132 and the second water inlet hole 142 in the lower row correspondingly, so that the first outlet 12 on the front of the body 1 is connected to the second pump outlet 222, and the second inlet 15 on the side of the body 1 is connected to the second pump inlet 221. Therefore, when any one of the first pump 21 and the second pump 22 is damaged, the working liquid flows into the other through one of the first water outlet hole 131 and the second water inlet hole 142 via the first communication hole 19, and thus can be driven by the undamaged pump.

[0033] In addition, as Figure 7B shown, an elastic airtight member 31 can be selectively sleeved on the first pump inlets and outlets 211 and 212 and the second pump inlets and outlets 221 and 222. The elastic airtight member 31 is, for example, a waterproof gasket made of an elastic material (rubber or silica gel), and has the characteristics of being compressible and resilient. Thereby, the elastic airtight member 31 fills the gaps between the first pump inlets and outlets 211 and 212 and the second pump inlets and outlets 221 and 222 and the first water outlet hole 131, the first water inlet hole 141 and the second water outlet hole 132, the second water inlet hole 142, so as to form a complete seal, ensuring that the working liquid cannot leak through these gaps, and achieving an effective anti-leakage effect.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 8A and Figure 8B , which are various schematic diagrams of the fixing plate arranged for the water-cooled pump connection structure of the present utility model. As shown in the figure, fixing plates 4 are respectively arranged on the upper side and the lower side of the aforementioned body 1 and the first pump 21 and the second pump 22 arranged in an up-and-down stacked manner (as Figure 8A shown). The body 1 and the first and second pumps 21 and 22 are, for example, fixedly connected by screwing to the plurality of fixing plates 4, thereby limiting the first and second pumps 21 and 22. In this way, when the first and second pumps 21 and 22 drive the working liquid, they will not be separated from the body 1.

[0035] In addition, the upper and lower fixing plates 4 can be selectively connected to a back plate 43. The upper and lower ends of the back plate 43 are respectively connected to the upper and lower fixing plates 4 to jointly form a C-shaped fixing member (as Figure 8BAs shown. The rear sides of the first and second pumps 21 and 22 abut against the back plate 43, achieving the same effect as above.

[0036] Please continue to refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 and, for supplementary reference, Figures 3 to 6 On the front of the aforementioned body 1, a water injection port 18 sealed by a closure member 6 is provided as a degassing and filling water port. The water injection port 18 communicates with any one of a first water outlet hole 131, a first water inlet hole 141, a second water outlet hole 132, and a second water inlet hole 142 on the back of the body 1. In this embodiment, the water injection port 18 communicates with the second water outlet hole 132.

[0037] Please refer again to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7A As shown, the arrows in the figure indicate the working liquid flow path. When the first and second pumps 21 and 22 are operating normally, after the working liquid inside the water-cooled head 7 absorbs the heat of the heat source (not shown), it is driven by the driving force generated by the first and second pumps 21 and 22, and the working liquid is transmitted from the water-cooled head outlet 72 and the pipe body 92 to the first inlet 11 of the body 1; then from the first inlet 11, it enters the first pump 21 through the first water outlet hole 131 and the first pump inlet 211; then enters the first water inlet hole 141 of the body 1 through the first pump outlet 212; then from the second outlet 16 of the body 1, it enters the water-cooled radiator 8 through the water-cooled radiator inlet 81. And the working liquid is dissipated through the flow path inside the water-cooled radiator 8, and the dissipated working liquid enters the body 1 through the water-cooled radiator outlet 82 and the second inlet 15; continues to enter the second pump 22 through the second water outlet hole 132 and the second pump inlet 221; then enters the second water inlet hole 142 of the body 1 through the second pump outlet 222; then from the first outlet 12 of the body 1, it flows into the water-cooled head 7 through the pipe body 91 and the water-cooled head inlet 71.

[0038] Furthermore, when any one of the first and second pumps 21 and 22 is damaged, the working liquid can flow from the first water outlet hole 131 through the first communication hole 19 into the second water inlet hole 142 and be driven by the second pump 22 (as Figure 6 shown), or flow from the second water inlet hole 142 through the first communication hole 19 into the first water outlet hole 131 and be driven by the first pump 21 (as Figure 6 shown). In this way, the working liquid can still be continuously driven by at least another undamaged pump to circulate between the water-cooled head 7 and the water-cooled radiator 8.

[0039] The unit of the present utility model, where the body 1 is connected to a plurality of pumps 21 and 22 and is also connected to the water block 7 and the radiator 8, enables the continuous driving and circulation of the working liquid by the other pump when any one of the pumps 21 and 22 is damaged (or fails), so that replacement can be carried out without shutting down the machine; moreover, the pressure of the working liquid can be increased by the pumps 21 and 22. In addition, by replacing the conventional plastic or metal pipe connecting the pumps 21 and 22 with the body 1, the present utility model does not need to worry about the problem of aging of the conventional pipe, and further can effectively improve the problem of water leakage.

[0040] The above has described the present utility model in detail. What has been described above is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and it should not limit the scope of implementation of the present utility model. That is, all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the present utility model should still fall within the scope of the patent of the present utility model.
