Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of liquid cooling technology, and in particular to a pipe bracket and a server. Background Art

[0002] Liquid-cooled cold plate heat dissipation is a high-efficiency heat dissipation technology, which is particularly suitable for electronic devices with high heat flux density, such as high-performance computers, servers in data centers, etc. Its working principle is: the cold plate is in direct contact with the heat-generating components (such as the Central Processing Unit (CPU), Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), etc.), and microchannels are provided inside the cold plate, and the coolant circulates in these channels. When the coolant flows through the heating surface, it absorbs heat and then takes away the heat through phase change or pure heat conduction and convection, thereby achieving the purpose of efficient heat dissipation. Usually, the cold plate is transported with coolant by cold pipes, but the diameters of the cold pipes of different cold plates may also be different. Corresponding cold pipe brackets need to be set for different cold pipe diameters, which increases R&D and production costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present application discloses a pipeline support and a server, which are used to adapt to pipelines of different sizes.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a pipeline support, comprising: a base and a pipe pressing member;

[0006] The base includes a first receiving groove, a first end plate, and a second end plate. The first receiving groove is used to receive the pipeline. The first end plate and the second end plate are located on opposite sides of the first receiving groove. The first end plate and the second end plate are both provided with a first clamping portion and a second clamping portion. The first clamping portion and the second clamping portion are arranged in a stepped manner along the depth direction of the first receiving groove.

[0007] The pipe pressing member includes a third end plate and a fourth end plate arranged opposite to each other, and each of the third end plate and the fourth end plate is provided with a third clamping portion; the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion can be clamped and matched with the third clamping portion;

[0008] The pipe pressing member has a first installation position and a second installation position relative to the base;

[0009] When the tube pressing member is in the first installation position, the first end plate is clamped with the third end plate, the second end plate is clamped with the fourth end plate, and the base and the tube pressing member cooperate to form a first clamping space; when the tube pressing member is in the second installation position, the first end plate is clamped with the fourth end plate, the second end plate is clamped with the third end plate, and the base and the tube pressing member cooperate to form a second clamping space;

[0010] The size of the first clamping space is greater than that of the second clamping space.

[0011] The pipe support provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a base and a pipe pressing member. The base has a first receiving groove for accommodating the pipe. Exemplarily, the first receiving groove can be a contoured groove adapted to the pipe to adapt to the shape of the pipe; the pipe pressing member covers the base and cooperates with the base to form a clamping space for fixing the pipe. To facilitate disassembly, the pipe pressing member and the base are connected and fixed in the form of a clamping connection at both ends. Specifically, the first end plate and the second end plate at both ends of the base are provided with a first clamping portion and a second clamping portion arranged in a stepped manner; wherein the second clamping portion is closer to the bottom wall of the first receiving groove than the first clamping portion. It can also be understood that the first clamping portion is closer to the pipe pressing member than the second clamping portion. The pipe pressing fitting has two installation positions relative to the base, namely the first installation position and the second installation position; when the pipe pressing fitting is in the first installation position, the third end plate of the pipe pressing fitting is clamped to the first end plate of the base through the first clamping portion and the third clamping portion, and the fourth end plate of the pipe pressing fitting is clamped to the second end plate of the base through the first clamping portion and the third clamping portion, and the pipe pressing fitting cooperates with the base to form a first clamping space for fixing large-diameter pipelines; when the pipe pressing fitting is in the second installation position, the fourth end plate of the pipe pressing fitting is clamped to the first end plate of the base through the second clamping portion and the third clamping portion, and the third end plate of the pipe pressing fitting is clamped to the second end plate of the base through the second clamping portion and the third clamping portion, and the pipe pressing fitting cooperates with the base to form a second clamping space for fixing small-diameter pipelines.

[0012] Therefore, the pipeline bracket provided in the embodiment of the present application can adapt to pipelines of two diameter sizes by adjusting the installation position of the compression fitting, thereby effectively fixing pipelines of different diameters, and can be disassembled and maintained without tools when replacing different diameters for maintenance.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first and second clamping portions are both slots, and the third clamping portion is a buckle. The buckle is provided on the pipe pressing member, and the stepped slot is provided on the base to facilitate assembly and disassembly of the pipe pressing member. Furthermore, the stepped slot is easy to process and has low production costs.

[0014] In some embodiments, the pipe pressing member includes a second accommodating groove located between the third end plate and the fourth end plate, and the second accommodating groove is used to cooperate with the first accommodating groove to form the first clamping space or the second clamping space;

[0015] Along the extension direction of the second accommodating groove, the two third clamping portions are symmetrically arranged at the same side edges of the third end plate and the fourth end plate.

[0016] The pipe pressing member is provided with a second receiving groove. Exemplarily, the second receiving groove can be a contoured groove adapted to the pipeline to adapt to the pipeline shape. The second receiving groove cooperates with the first receiving groove to form a clamping space for fixing the pipeline. The two ends of the formed clamping space are arc-shaped, which better adapts to the pipeline shape and facilitates improving the clamping stability of the pipeline. The clamping space is the first clamping space or the second clamping space. Furthermore, along the extension direction of the second receiving groove, the two third clamping parts are both provided on the same side of the pipe pressing member and close to the edge, which facilitates the arrangement of the first clamping part and the second clamping part arranged in a stepped manner on the base; at the same time, it can play an anti-foolproofing effect.

[0017] In some embodiments, the groove wall of the first accommodating groove and / or the second accommodating groove is formed by connecting multiple arc surfaces to ensure that pipelines with different diameters have a larger contact surface for fixation, thereby ensuring the stability of the fixed pipelines.

[0018] In some embodiments, a handle is provided on the third end plate and / or the fourth end plate, so that a user can unlock the pipe pressing member by pulling the handle.

[0019] In some embodiments, the base includes at least two of the first receiving slots;

[0020] A cylindrical protrusion is fixed on the base, the cylindrical protrusion is located between two adjacent first receiving grooves and extends along the depth direction of the first receiving groove; the side surface of the cylindrical protrusion protrudes to form a first clamping protrusion and a second clamping protrusion, and the first clamping protrusion is located on the side of the second clamping protrusion away from the base;

[0021] The pipe pressing member includes a buckle groove penetrating the pipe pressing member along the thickness direction;

[0022] When the tube pressing member is in the first installation position, the first clamping protrusion is clamped with the clamping groove; when the tube pressing member is in the second installation position, the second clamping protrusion is clamped with the clamping groove.

[0023] When the base has multiple first receiving grooves, simply clamping the base and the pipe pressing member at both ends cannot ensure the stable fixation of the pipe holder to the pipe. Therefore, this embodiment provides a clamping point between two adjacent first receiving grooves. Specifically, a columnar protrusion having a first clamping protrusion and a second clamping protrusion is adapted to fit the snap groove on the pipe pressing member to achieve clamping fixation at two installation positions of the pipe pressing member, thereby ensuring the stable fixation of the pipe holder to the pipe.

[0024] In some embodiments, the cylindrical protrusion includes a first elastic arm and a second elastic arm, wherein one end of the first elastic arm is fixed to the base and the other end is free, and one end of the second elastic arm is fixed to the base and the other end is free; a gap is formed between the free ends of the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm. The first and second engaging protrusions are both provided on the first elastic wall and the second elastic portion, and the gap between the free ends of the first and second elastic arms facilitates unlocking of the engaging groove from the first or second engaging protrusions.

[0025] In some embodiments, the base is provided with a first marking portion and a second marking portion that are not completely identical on a side facing the pressing tube member, and the pressing tube member is provided with a hollow window;

[0026] When the pipe pressing member is in the first installation position, the hollow window cooperates with the first marking portion to expose the first marking portion; when the pipe pressing member is in the second installation position, the hollow window cooperates with the second marking portion to expose the second marking portion. The first and second marking portions can clearly indicate the pipe diameter, and to avoid confusion, the hollow window on the pipe pressing member only exposes one marking portion, namely the first or second marking portion.

[0027] In some embodiments, the base includes a support portion protruding away from the tube pressing member and two fixing portions, the two fixing portions being configured to cooperate with the fixing member to secure the base. The support portion and the two fixing portions cooperate to form a triangular support structure. The triangular support structure prevents the base from tilting or tipping due to uneven force when securing the base, thereby facilitating installation and securement of the base.

[0028] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a server, comprising a cooling pipe and a pipe support as described in any one of the embodiments of the first aspect;

[0029] The cooling pipe is clamped between the base and the pipe pressing member.

[0030] In the server provided in the embodiment of the present application, the cooling pipe is fixed by a pipe bracket, which improves the operation and maintenance efficiency and reduces the operation and maintenance cost during the operation and maintenance process of replacing cold plates of different diameters in the server.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] First, let's discuss the application scenario of this application: When reconfiguring a server, different liquid cooling solutions may be required based on different configurations and customer needs, and the diameters of the cooling lines may also vary. This may require maintenance personnel to carry parts that support the different cooling lines for fixing. This not only requires high professional skills, but also has relatively high material preparation and mold costs from a cost perspective.

[0050] Based on the above application scenarios, an embodiment of the present application provides a pipeline bracket and a server for adapting to pipelines of different sizes to reduce costs.

[0052] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to imply or suggest relative importance or implicitly indicate the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0053] First, as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a pipeline support, comprising: a base 100 and a pipe pressing member 200;

[0054] The base 100 includes a first receiving groove 101, a first end plate 110, and a second end plate 120. The first receiving groove 101 is used to receive the pipeline. The first end plate 110 and the second end plate 120 are located on opposite sides of the first receiving groove 101. The first end plate 110 and the second end plate 120 are both provided with a first clamping portion 310 and a second clamping portion 320. The first clamping portion 310 and the second clamping portion 320 are arranged in a stepped manner along the depth direction of the first receiving groove 101.

[0055] The pipe pressing member 200 includes a third end plate 210 and a fourth end plate 220 that are arranged opposite to each other. The third end plate 210 and the fourth end plate 220 are both provided with a third clamping portion 330. The first clamping portion 310 and the second clamping portion 320 can be clamped and matched with the third clamping portion 330.

[0056] The pipe pressing member 200 has a first installation position and a second installation position relative to the base 100;

[0057] When the pipe pressing member 200 is in the first installation position, the first end plate 110 is clamped with the third end plate 210, the second end plate 120 is clamped with the fourth end plate 220, and the base 100 and the pipe pressing member 200 cooperate to form a first clamping space; when the pipe pressing member 200 is in the second installation position, the first end plate 110 is clamped with the fourth end plate 220, the second end plate 120 is clamped with the third end plate 210, and the base 100 and the pipe pressing member 200 cooperate to form a second clamping space;

[0058] The size of the first clamping space is greater than that of the second clamping space.

[0059] The pipe support provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a base 100 and a pipe pressing member 200. The base 100 has a first receiving groove 101 for accommodating the pipe. For example, the first receiving groove 101 can be a contoured groove adapted to the pipe to adapt to the shape of the pipe; the pipe pressing member 200 covers the base 100 and cooperates with the base 100 to form a clamping space for fixing the pipe. To facilitate disassembly, the pipe pressing member 200 and the base 100 are connected and fixed in the form of a clamping connection at both ends. Specifically, the first end plate 110 and the second end plate 120 at both ends of the base 100 are provided with a first clamping portion 310 and a second clamping portion 320 arranged in a stepped manner; wherein the second clamping portion 320 is closer to the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 101 than the first clamping portion 310. It can also be understood that the first clamping portion 310 is closer to the pipe pressing member 200 than the second clamping portion 320. In this embodiment of the application, the pipe support medium pressure pipe fitting 200 is installed in two different positions by adjusting its installation direction, either in the forward direction or by rotating it 180° horizontally and installing it in the reverse direction, so that the pipe pressure fitting 200 can be used with cold pipes of different diameters. The pipe pressure fitting 200 has two installation positions relative to the base 100, namely the first installation position and the second installation position. Figure 1 FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of the pipe support when the pipe pressing member 200 is in the first installation position. Figure 1 As shown, when the pipe pressing member 200 is in the first installation position, the third end plate 210 of the pipe pressing member 200 is clamped with the first end plate 110 of the base 100 through the first clamping portion 310 and the third clamping portion 330, and the fourth end plate 220 of the pipe pressing member 200 is clamped with the second end plate 120 of the base 100 through the first clamping portion 310 and the third clamping portion 330. The pipe pressing member 200 cooperates with the base 100 to form a first clamping space for fixing the large-diameter pipeline 500, as shown in FIG. Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown; Figure 2 FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of the pipe support when the pipe pressing member 200 is in the second installation position. Figure 2As shown, when the pipe pressing member 200 is in the second installation position, the fourth end plate 220 of the pipe pressing member 200 is clamped with the first end plate 110 of the base 100 through the second clamping portion 320 and the third clamping portion 330, and the third end plate 210 of the pipe pressing member 200 is clamped with the second end plate 120 of the base 100 through the second clamping portion 320 and the third clamping portion 330. The pipe pressing member 200 cooperates with the base 100 to form a second clamping space for fixing the small-diameter pipeline 600, as shown in FIG. Figure 7-10 shown.

[0060] Therefore, the pipeline support provided in the embodiment of the present application can adapt to pipelines of two diameter sizes by adjusting the installation position of the pipe pressing member 200, thereby effectively fixing pipelines of different diameters, and can be disassembled and maintained without tools when replacing different diameters for maintenance.

[0061] One possible implementation method is Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base 100 includes a bottom plate and a first end plate 110, a second end plate 120, a first side plate 130, and a second side plate 140 surrounding the bottom plate. The first end plate 110 and the second end plate 120 are disposed opposite each other along the length of the base 100, and the first side plate 130 and the second side plate 140 are disposed opposite each other along the width of the base 100. The first side plate 130 and the second side plate 140 are both connected between the first end plate 110 and the second end plate 120. The first side plate 130 has a first notch, and the second side plate 140 has a second notch. The orthographic projection of the first notch on the second side plate 140 coincides with the second notch. The first and second notches communicate with the interior space of the base 100, forming a first receiving slot 101 extending along the width of the base 100.

[0062] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first and second engaging portions 310, 320 are both slots, and the third engaging portion 330 is a buckle. The buckle is provided on the pipe pressing member 200, and the stepped engaging slot is provided on the base 100 to facilitate assembly and disassembly of the pipe pressing member 200. Furthermore, the stepped engaging slot is easy to process and has low production costs.

[0063] One possible implementation method is Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a stepped slot is provided on the first end plate 110, and a stepped slot is also provided on the second end plate 120. The orthographic projection of the stepped slot on the first end plate 110 on the second end plate 120 overlaps with the stepped slot on the second end plate 120. In other words, the two stepped slots are symmetrically arranged. For example, on the second end plate 120, the slots of the first engaging portion 310 and the second engaging portion 320 communicate with each other, thereby reducing the width of the entire pipe support.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first and second clamping portions can both be buckles, with the buckle on the first end plate protruding toward the second end plate, and the buckle on the second end plate protruding toward the first end plate, and the third clamping portion being a slot. The pipe pressing member is provided with a slot, and the base is provided with a stepped buckle, with two of the stepped buckles spaced apart along the width of the base to facilitate assembly and disassembly of the pipe pressing member.

[0065] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pipe pressing member 200 includes a second receiving groove 201 located between the third end plate 210 and the fourth end plate 220. The second receiving groove 201 is used to cooperate with the first receiving groove 101 to form a first clamping space or a second clamping space;

[0066] Along the extension direction of the second receiving groove 201 , the two third clamping portions 330 are symmetrically arranged at the same side edges of the third end plate 210 and the fourth end plate 220 .

[0067] One possible way to achieve this is Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, combined with Figure 3 , a second receiving groove 201 is provided on the pipe pressing member 200. Exemplarily, the second receiving groove 201 can be a contoured groove that matches the pipeline to adapt to the pipeline shape; the second receiving groove 201 cooperates with the first receiving groove 101 to form a clamping space for fixing the pipeline. The contours on both sides of the formed clamping space are arc-shaped, which is more adaptable to the pipeline shape and facilitates improving the clamping stability of the pipeline. The clamping space is the first clamping space or the second clamping space. It can be understood that the number of second receiving grooves 201 corresponds to the number of first receiving grooves 101. Furthermore, along the extension direction of the second receiving groove 201, the two third clamping portions 330 are both provided on the same side of the pipe pressing member 200 and close to the edge, which facilitates the arrangement of the first clamping portion 310 and the second clamping portion 320 arranged in a stepped manner on the base 100; at the same time, it can play an anti-fool effect.

[0068] It should be noted that, in order to cooperate with the stepped slots on the base 100, the buckles on the pressing tube member 200 are arranged on the same side of the third end plate 210 and the fourth end plate 220 along the width direction of the pressing tube member 200. For example, along the width direction of the pressing tube member 200, the buckle on the fourth end plate 220 is located on the left side of the fourth end plate 220, and the buckle on the third end plate 210 is also located on the left side of the third end plate 210, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 Along the width direction of the pressing tube 200, the buckle on the fourth end plate 220 is located on the right side of the fourth end plate 220, and the buckle on the third end plate 210 is also located on the right side of the third end plate 210, as shown. Figure 2 shown.

[0069] In some embodiments, the groove wall of the first accommodating groove 101 and / or the second accommodating groove 201 is formed by connecting multiple arc surfaces to ensure that pipelines of different diameters have a larger contact surface for fixation, thereby ensuring the stability of the fixed pipelines.

[0070] It is understandable that in order to adapt to pipes of different diameters, the pipe support base 100 and the pipe pressing fitting 200 are designed with arc surfaces that imitate the diameters of various pipes, and are formed by connecting multiple arc surfaces of different diameters. Due to the difference in the diameters of the pipes themselves, the contact portion of the pipe pressing fitting 200 with the pipe is designed to imitate the shape of the pipe. When the pipe diameter is large and the installation direction is to adapt to the smaller diameter of the pipe, the pipe pressing fitting 200 cannot continue to be installed from top to bottom relative to the base 100, and the clips on both sides cannot be installed in place. On the contrary, when installing a pipe with a smaller diameter using the installation direction of the larger pipe diameter, the clips on both sides still cannot be installed in place. The structure is foolproof to avoid the reliability problem of fixing the cold pipe due to installation in the wrong direction.

[0071] In some embodiments, as Figure 11 As shown, the base 100 includes at least two first receiving grooves 101;

[0072] A cylindrical protrusion 410 is fixedly provided on the base 100. The cylindrical protrusion 410 is located between two adjacent first receiving grooves 101 and extends along the depth direction of the first receiving grooves 101. The side of the cylindrical protrusion 410 protrudes to form a first clamping protrusion 420 and a second clamping protrusion 430. The first clamping protrusion 420 is located on the side of the second clamping protrusion 430 away from the base 100.

[0073] The pipe pressing member 200 includes a buckle groove 440 that penetrates the pipe pressing member 200 along the thickness direction;

[0074] When the tube pressing member 200 is in the first installation position, the first clamping protrusion 420 is clamped with the clamping groove 440 ; when the tube pressing member 200 is in the second installation position, the second clamping protrusion 430 is clamped with the clamping groove 440 .

[0075] When the base 100 has multiple first receiving grooves 101, simply clamping the base 100 and the pipe pressing member 200 at both ends cannot ensure the stability of the pipe holder in fixing the pipe. Therefore, this embodiment provides a clamping point between two adjacent first receiving grooves 101. Specifically, a columnar protrusion 410 having a first clamping protrusion 420 and a second clamping protrusion 430 is adapted to fit with a snap groove 440 on the pipe pressing member 200 to achieve clamping and fixing of the pipe pressing member 200 at two installation positions, thereby ensuring the stability of the pipe holder in fixing the pipe.

[0076] One possible way to achieve this is Figure 11As shown, the base 100 includes two first receiving grooves 101, and the two first receiving grooves 101 are separated by a boss in the middle of the base 100. A columnar protrusion 410 is fixed on the boss, and the columnar protrusion 410 extends along the height direction of the base 100. A first clamping protrusion 420 and a second clamping protrusion 430 are provided on the columnar protrusion 410 corresponding to the two installation positions of the pressing pipe 200, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the pipe pressing member 200 is in the first installation position, adapted to the large diameter pipe 500, and the first clamping protrusion 420 is clamped with the clamping groove 440 on the pipe pressing member 200; Figure 7 As shown, the pipe pressing member 200 is in the second installation position, adapted to the small diameter pipeline 600 , and the second clamping protrusion 430 is clamped with the clamping groove 440 .

[0077] In some embodiments, as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the cylindrical protrusion 410 includes a first elastic arm 411 and a second elastic arm 412. The first elastic arm 411 is fixed to the base 100 at one end and free at the other end. The second elastic arm 412 is fixed to the base 100 at one end and free at the other end. A gap is formed between the free end of the first elastic arm 411 and the free end of the second elastic arm 412. The first and second clamping protrusions 420 and 430 are both provided on the first elastic wall and the second elastic portion. The gap between the free end of the first and second elastic arms 411 and 412 facilitates unlocking of the clamping groove from the first and second clamping protrusions 420 and 430. When unlocking is required, the free ends of the first and second elastic walls are pressed to reduce the radial dimension of the cylindrical protrusion 410, allowing the tube pressing member 200 to be removed.

[0078] One possible implementation method is Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the outer profile of the first engaging protrusion 420 includes a first curved surface 421, a second curved surface 422, and a first flat surface 423, which are connected in sequence. The first flat surface 423 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the cylindrical protrusion 410. Both the first curved surface 421 and the second curved surface 422 are formed by fillets, and the chamfer radius of the first curved surface 421 is larger than the chamfer radius of the second curved surface 422. The large fillet of the first curved surface 421 facilitates smooth installation of the pipe clamp 200, while the small fillet of the second curved surface 422 prevents the pipe clamp 200 from being dislodged during use.

[0079] Similarly, the outer contour of the second clamping protrusion 430 includes a third curved surface 431, a fourth curved surface 432 and a second plane 433 connected in sequence, wherein the second plane 433 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the cylindrical protrusion 410. The third curved surface 431 and the fourth curved surface 432 are both formed by chamfers, and the chamfer radius of the third curved surface 431 is larger than the chamfer radius of the fourth curved surface 432. The third curved surface 431 adopts a large-sized rounded corner to facilitate the smooth installation of the pressing pipe fitting 200, and the fourth curved surface 432 adopts a small-sized rounded corner to prevent the pressing pipe fitting 200 from falling out during use of the pipeline bracket. It can be understood that the first curved surface 421 and the third curved surface 431 can be formed by chamfering of the same size, and the second curved surface 422 and the fourth curved surface 432 can also be formed by chamfering of the same size to facilitate processing.

[0080] In some embodiments, the base 100 is provided with a first marking portion 151 and a second marking portion 152 that are not completely identical on the side facing the pipe pressing member 200, and a hollow window 240 is provided on the pipe pressing member 200;

[0081] When the pipe pressing member 200 is in the first installation position, the hollow window 240 cooperates with the first marking portion 151 to expose the first marking portion 151. When the pipe pressing member 200 is in the second installation position, the hollow window 240 cooperates with the second marking portion 152 to expose the second marking portion 152. The first marking portion 151 and the second marking portion 152 clearly indicate the pipe diameter. To avoid confusion, the hollow window 240 on the pipe pressing member 200 only exposes one marking portion: the first marking portion 151 or the second marking portion 152. The first marking portion 151 can be a numerical value indicating the diameter, or it can be a Chinese character, graphic, or character.

[0082] One possible way to achieve this is Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the boss between the two first receiving grooves 101 is provided with a first marking portion 151 and a second marking portion 152 corresponding to the pipe diameter. For example, the first marking portion 151 and the second marking portion 152 are silk screen markings. A hollow window 240 is provided on the pipe pressing member 200 as an observation window for the pipe diameter. When the installation direction is different, different diameter marks will appear in the hollow window 240, such as Figure 4 and Figure 8 shown.

[0083] With the increasing demand for integrated server motherboard design, depriving the board of an entire area dedicated to cooling pipe brackets would result in lower board space utilization or increased board size, resulting in wasted resources and increased costs. Furthermore, since the cooling pipes exchange heat through flowing liquid during operation, the strength of the cooling pipe brackets is also required, necessitating a more reliable structure to secure the cooling pipes.

[0084] To this end, in some embodiments, the base 100 includes a support portion 160 that protrudes away from the pipe pressing member 200 and two fixing portions 170. The two fixing portions 170 are used to cooperate with the fixing member to fix the base 100. The support portion 160 and the two fixing portions 170 cooperate to form a triangular support structure. The triangular support structure can prevent the base 100 from tilting or falling due to uneven force when fixing the base 100, thereby facilitating the installation and fixation of the base 100.

[0085] In the pipe support provided in the embodiment of the present application, the base 100 is fixed to the target position where the cooling pipe needs to be fixed and limited by fixing members such as screws. The pipe pressing member 200 is fixed to the base 100 by a buckle. The pipe pressing member 200 can be installed in the forward and reverse directions to achieve the purpose of fixing cooling pipes of different pipe diameters. This pipe support has strong versatility. The two fixing portions 170 on the base 100 protrude along the surface of the base 100 toward the side away from the pipe pressing member 200. That is, the fixing portions 170 have a certain height, which has great compatibility with the target fixing position.

[0086] like Figure 15 As shown, the bottom surface of the base 100 is roughly rectangular, with two fixing portions 170 located at two diagonal corners of the rectangle. In this case, tightening the screws can easily cause the base 100 to tilt to one side, thus affecting installation. To address this issue, this embodiment adds a support portion 160 to the base 100. The support portion 160 is located at the other corner of the rectangle and forms a triangular support structure with the two fixing portions 170, improving the stability of the base 100. For example, the cross-section of the support portion 160 is a "cross" shape.

[0087] In some embodiments, as Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, a handle 230 is provided on the third end plate 210 and / or the fourth end plate 220 , so that a user can unlock the pipe pressing member 200 by pulling the handle 230 .

[0088] One possible implementation method is Figure 16 As shown, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 7 The handles 230 are provided at both ends of the pressing pipe fitting 200 to facilitate the user to unlock the pressing pipe fitting 200. The protruding portion of the base 100 allows the operator to use less force to complete the unlocking of the pressing pipe fitting 200. Figure 17As shown, the end plates on both sides of the pipe pressing member 200, namely the third end plate 210 and the fourth end plate 220, are inclined outwardly away from each other, so that the pipe pressing member 200 has a pre-tightening force on both sides after installation, making the fixing between the pipe pressing member 200 and the base 100 more tightly and preventing structural failure. Exemplarily, the inclination angle of the third end plate 210 away from the fourth end plate 220 is θ1, and the inclination angle of the third end plate 210 away from the fourth end plate 220 is θ2, and θ1 = θ2.

[0089] The embodiments of the present application provide a pipe support that is easy to maintain and supports pipes of various diameters. This effectively secures cold pipes of different diameters, allowing for tool-free disassembly and maintenance when replacing pipes of different diameters. In one possible implementation, the pipe support includes a base, fixing screws, and a pipe clamp. When installing the pipe support, the base is first installed from top to bottom to the target position and secured with the fixing screws. The cold pipe is then placed in the first receiving slot of the base. Finally, the pipe clamp is installed on the base in the appropriate installation direction according to the size of the cold pipe to complete the cold pipe fixation.

[0090] The pipe bracket secures the liquid-cooled pipes to the bracket base via a compression fitting. The ends of the compression fitting engage with slots in the base via clips on the outer end plates, while the center engages with a clip slot on the compression fitting via a double-layered clipping protrusion on the base: the first and second clipping protrusions on the cylindrical protrusions. The base has two different clipping points at each end and in the center, corresponding to the different pipe diameters. If the installation orientation of the pipe bracket does not match the required orientation of the supported pipe, the numbers in the hollow window on the pipe bracket indicate whether the installation orientation is correct. Due to the different pipe diameters, the contact area of the compression fitting is designed to mimic the pipe's shape. If the pipe is larger in diameter and the installation orientation is for a smaller pipe, the compression fitting will not fit properly when installed from top to bottom. Neither the left nor the right clips nor the center clip slot will snap into place. Conversely, when installing a smaller pipe using the orientation for a larger pipe, the clips on both sides will not snap into place. Not only does it provide a visual digital reminder to prevent mistakes, but it also provides a structural warning to prevent mistakes, avoiding reliability issues in fixing the cooling pipes due to installation in the wrong direction.

[0091] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a server, comprising a cooling pipe and a pipe support as described in any one of the embodiments of the first aspect;

[0092] The cold pipe is clamped between the base and the pipe pressing fitting.

[0093] In the server provided by the embodiments of the present application, a pipe bracket is used to secure the cooling pipes. The pipe bracket is adapted to secure cooling pipes of different diameters. This is accomplished by cleverly changing the compression fittings. Furthermore, the bracket is easy to maintain, and tool-free replacement and securing of different cooling pipes are achieved. This improves operational efficiency and reduces costs during server reconfiguration and replacement of cold plates of different diameters. The pipe bracket is environmentally friendly, generating no waste, and is easy to use. Its foolproof design eliminates the need for training for installation and maintenance personnel.

[0094] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to the embodiments of the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Thus, if such modifications and variations of the present application fall within the scope of the claims of the present application and their equivalents, the present application is intended to include such modifications and variations.
