Detailed implementation mode

[0026] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as "fixed to" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may also be an intermediate component. When a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediate component at the same time.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. The terms used in the present invention in the specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used in the present invention includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0029] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0030] In the prior art, the cold plate adapter block of the existing front beam is independently pre-formed and then assembled to the front beam. The flow channels and fixing holes on the cold plate adapter block are machined in advance, resulting in machining and assembly errors in the positional accuracy of the flow channel holes, fixing holes on the cold plate adapter block and the fixing holes on the front beam. Since the cold plate needs to be assembled to both the cold plate adapter block and the front beam at the same time, it finally leads to poor assembly of the cold plate and poor assembly consistency.

[0031] Refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the present invention provides a beam 39 for a tray 38. The beam includes a beam body 20, and the beam body 20 is formed with a cold plate adapter structure 5. The cold plate adapter structure 5 is located on one side of the beam body 20, and the other side of the beam body 20 is a tray 38 cavity 36;

[0032] The cold plate transfer structure 5 includes an input pipe 9 and an output pipe 10. The input pipe 9 is provided with a first inlet 6 and a first outlet 15. The first inlet 6 and the first outlet 15 are connected. The first inlet 6 is used to connect with an external heat exchange medium to input the heat exchange medium from the outside, and the first outlet 15 is used to connect with the cold plate 46 to input the heat exchange medium into the cold plate 46. The output pipe 10 is provided with a second inlet 18 and a second outlet 8. The second inlet 18 and the second outlet 8 are connected. Among them, the second inlet 18 is connected with the cold plate 46 and is used for outputting the heat exchange medium in the cold plate 46, and the second outlet 8 is used to connect with an external heat exchange medium output pipe to output the heat exchange medium input from the second inlet 18.

The included angle at the junction of the input pipe 9 in the second direction 7 and the third direction 16 can be optionally 60° < included angle ≤ 90°, preferably a right angle. The straight pipe connection has the shortest distance, which can save machining time and reduce the size of the cold plate transfer structure 5. The turning pipe structure is conducive to connecting with the input pipe of the cold plate 46.

[0036] In one embodiment, the output pipe 10 is located on the side of the cold plate adapter structure 5 away from the cavity 36. The output pipe 10 includes a third cylinder 59, a fourth cylinder 60, and a fifth cylinder 61. The third cylinder 59 is located in the third direction 16. A second inlet 18 is provided at the end of the third cylinder 59 in the positive direction of the third direction 16. A second outlet 8 is provided at one end of the fifth cylinder 61 away from the cavity 36.

The fifth cylinder 61 extends from the second outlet 8 in the second direction 7 and intersects and communicates with the fourth cylinder 60.

[0037] Specifically, the output pipe 10 is machined through. The cross-section of the cylinder is optionally circular, and the pipe size can be enlarged or reduced as needed. The included angle at the junction of the output pipe 10 in the opposite direction of the third direction 16 and the first direction 2 is optionally 60° < included angle ≤ 90°, preferably a right angle. The included angle at the junction of the output pipe 10 in the opposite direction of the first direction 2 and the second direction 7 is optionally 60° < included angle ≤ 90°, preferably a right angle. The inlets of the output pipe 10 are optionally the second inlet 18 and the third inlet 13, and the two are arranged in parallel in the first direction 2 of the beam body 20. The second inlet 18 is located at the end of the third cylinder 59 in the positive direction of the third direction 16. The third cylinder 59 extends from the second inlet 18 in the opposite direction of the third direction 16 and intersects and communicates with the fourth cylinder 60. The third inlet 13 is located at the end of the sixth cylinder 62 in the positive direction of the third direction 16.

The fifth cylinder 61 extends from the second outlet 8 in the second direction 7 and intersects and communicates with the fourth cylinder 60. This embodiment can realize the layout of the output pipe 10 within a limited structural size without interfering with the input pipe 9, improving the space utilization rate and reducing the size of the cold plate adapter structure 5.
