Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0050] Example
[0051] Figures 1 to 8 The present invention provides a liquid cooling system 100, comprising a power element 111, a heat exchanger 130, and a liquid cooling tank 113. The power element 111, the heat exchanger 130, and the liquid cooling tank 113 are connected by a pipe to form a liquid cooling circulation loop. The heat exchanger 130 is provided with an exhaust hole 131, which is positioned above a preset liquid level in the heat exchanger 130.
[0052] In this embodiment, the heat exchanger 130 is provided with a vent 131. This creates a pressure differential within the heat exchanger 130, with higher pressure at the bottom and lower pressure at the top. This allows bubbles formed within the heat exchanger 130 to quickly rise to the liquid surface due to the pressure differential and buoyancy, preventing them from flowing with the heat exchange medium. This reduces bubbles in the circulation loop and improves heat exchange efficiency. When bubbles floating on the liquid surface burst, the air can be discharged through the vent 131.
[0053] It should be noted that the preset liquid level height of the heat exchanger 130 refers to the liquid level position of the coolant in the heat exchanger set when the heat exchanger 130 is in normal use. The exhaust hole 131 is set at a position higher than the preset liquid level height of the heat exchanger 130. It can also be understood that the position of the exhaust hole is above the coolant level when the heat exchanger is in normal use.
[0054] Generally, the exhaust hole 131 is set at the highest position of the heat exchanger 130, such as the top wall. Of course, the positions of other exhaust holes 131 in the present application can also be set according to implementation requirements, as long as they are not lower than the height of the liquid level.
[0055] Furthermore, the liquid cooling system 100 includes a liquid storage tank 150 and a bypass pipe 133. The liquid storage tank 150 is connected to the liquid cooling circuit via a pipe and is configured to store coolant. One end of the bypass pipe 133 communicates with the exhaust hole 131, and the other end of the bypass pipe 133 is connected to the liquid storage tank 150. The liquid storage tank 150 is provided with an exhaust structure.
[0056] In this embodiment, a liquid storage tank 150 is provided, and the air outlet is connected to the liquid storage tank 150 via a bypass pipe 133. Furthermore, an exhaust structure is provided in the liquid storage tank 150. This allows bubbles floating on the liquid surface in the heat exchanger 130 to be discharged into the liquid storage tank along the bypass pipe 133, thereby avoiding affecting the heat exchange of the heat exchanger 130. However, bubbles discharged into the liquid storage tank 150 will burst after a period of stagnancy due to changes in pressure, temperature, etc. Therefore, the exhaust structure is provided in the liquid storage tank 150. This allows the air to be discharged through the exhaust structure after the bubbles burst.
[0057] In this embodiment, the exhaust structure is an exhaust pipe 151 provided in the liquid storage tank 150 . One end of the exhaust pipe 151 is connected to the liquid storage tank 150 , and the other end is configured to be connected to the external environment.
[0058] In this embodiment, the exhaust pipe 151 is provided so that the liquid storage tank 150 can be conveniently connected to the external environment for exhaust.
[0059] Specifically, the liquid storage tank 150 is disposed below the liquid cooling tank 113, and the exhaust pipe 151 extends from one side of the liquid storage tank 150 to the top of the liquid cooling tank 113, then bends inwardly and extends to the top of the liquid cooling tank 113. This arrangement prevents coolant dripping from the exhaust pipe 151 into the liquid cooling tank 113, while also allowing the liquid storage tank 150 to be connected to the external environment.
[0060] In this embodiment, the outlet of the power element 111 is connected to the inlet of the heat exchanger 130 through a pipe, the outlet of the heat exchanger 130 is connected to the inlet of the liquid cooling tank 113 through a pipe, the outlet of the liquid cooling tank 113 is connected to the inlet of the liquid storage tank 150 through a drain pipe 170, and the outlet of the liquid storage tank 150 is connected to the inlet of the power element 111 through a pipe, forming a liquid cooling circulation loop, and the power element 111 can make the coolant circulate along the liquid cooling circulation loop.
[0061] In this embodiment, the power element 111, the heat exchanger 130, the liquid cooling tank 113 and the liquid storage tank 150 are sequentially connected in the above manner, so that the bubbles formed in the heat exchanger 130 will not flow through the liquid cooling tank 113, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the coolant in the liquid cooling tank 113.
[0062] Figures 1 to 8 In this embodiment, the exhaust structure further includes a connecting pipe 153. One end of the connecting pipe 153 is connected to the liquid storage tank 150, and the other end extends upward and is configured to communicate with the external environment. The bypass pipe 133 is connected to the side wall of the connecting pipe 153 and is in communication with the connecting pipe 153. The gas transported by the bypass pipe 133 can be discharged to the external environment through the connecting pipe 153, and the coolant transported by the bypass pipe 133 can be returned to the liquid storage tank 150 through the connecting pipe 153.
[0063] Because the bypass pipe 133 carries both liquid coolant, bubbles, and gas, this embodiment provides a connecting pipe 153 in the liquid storage tank 150 to connect the connecting pipe 153 to the external environment. The bypass pipe 133 is then connected to the connecting pipe 153. This allows the substances carried in the bypass pipe 133 to undergo gas-liquid separation after flowing through the connecting pipe 153. The gas is directly discharged from the top opening of the connecting pipe 153, while the liquid and bubbles are allowed to flow back into the liquid storage tank 150 under the action of gravity, thereby achieving gas-liquid separation in the connecting pipe 153.
[0064] Of course, in some embodiments of the present application, the bypass pipe 133 may also be directly connected to the liquid storage tank 150 , so that both gas and liquid enter the liquid storage tank 150 , and the gas is then discharged through the exhaust pipe 151 .
[0065] In this embodiment, the drainage pipe 170 is provided with a first port 171, a second port 173, a third port 175, and a fourth port 177 in the order from bottom to top in the height direction. The first port 171 is connected to the inlet of the liquid storage tank 150, the second port 173 is connected to the outlet of the liquid cooling tank 113, the end of the connecting pipe 153 away from the liquid storage tank 150 is connected to the third port 175, and the fourth port 177 is configured to communicate with the external environment.
[0066] In this embodiment, a fourth interface 177 connected to the outside is set at the top of the drainage pipe 170, and the connecting pipe 153 is connected to the third interface 175. The gas in the liquid storage tank 150 can be discharged to the drainage pipe through the connecting pipe 153 and then discharged from the fourth interface 177, which can further realize gas-liquid separation and save pipeline length.
[0067] Of course, in some other embodiments of the present application, the top end of the connecting pipe 153 may also be directly connected to the external environment.
[0068] Figures 1 to 8 In this embodiment, the fourth interface 177 is located higher than the liquid level in the liquid cooling tank 113 , so that the cooling liquid from overflowing from the fourth interface 177 can be avoided in the event of a system failure.
[0069] In this embodiment, there are multiple heat exchangers 130, and the multiple heat exchangers are connected in parallel between the power element 111 and the liquid cooling tank 113. An exhaust hole 131 is provided at the highest position of all heat exchangers 130. The bypass pipe 133 includes a main pipe 135 and a plurality of branch pipes 137 provided on the main pipe 135. The plurality of branch pipes 137 are connected to the plurality of exhaust holes 131 one by one, and the main pipe 135 is connected to the connecting pipe 153. In this way, the bubbles generated in all the heat exchangers 130 can be converged into the main pipe 135 through the branch pipes 137, and then flow to the connecting pipe 153 through the main pipe 135. After being diverted by the connecting pipe 153, the gas can be discharged through the fourth interface 177 of the exhaust and liquid discharge pipe 170, and the liquid flows back to the liquid storage tank 150 through the connecting pipe 153. Bubbles are also more likely to burst during the flow process.
[0070] Of course, in some other embodiments of the present application, a plurality of heat exchangers 130 may also be connected between the power element 111 and the liquid cooling tank 113 in a series or series plus parallel manner.
[0071] Figures 1 to 8In this embodiment, the heat exchanger 130 includes a heat exchanger body 139, a collecting structure 141 and an exhaust component 143. The heat exchanger body 139 is provided with a plurality of flow channels, and the collecting structure 141 is provided on the heat exchanger body 139. The collecting structure 141 has mutually independent liquid inlet flow channels 145 and liquid outlet flow channels 147. The inlets of all flow channels are connected to the liquid inlet flow channels 145, and the outlets of all flow channels are connected to the liquid outlet flow channels 147. The inlet of the heat exchanger 130 is provided on the collecting structure 141 and is connected to the liquid inlet flow channel 145; the outlet of the heat exchanger 130 is provided on the collecting structure 141 and is connected to the liquid outlet flow channel 147. The top wall of the collecting structure 141 is provided with a first connecting hole 148 and a second connecting hole 149. The first connecting hole 148 is connected to the liquid inlet channel 145, and the second connecting hole 149 is connected to the liquid outlet channel 147. The exhaust component 143 is installed on the collecting structure 141, and the exhaust hole 131 is provided on the exhaust component 143, and the first connecting hole 148 and the second connecting hole 149 are both connected to the exhaust hole 131.
[0072] In this embodiment, a first connecting hole 148 connected to the liquid inlet channel 145 and a second connecting hole 149 connected to the liquid outlet channel 147 are provided at the top of the collecting structure 141 of the heat exchanger 130, and an exhaust component 143 is provided in the collecting structure 141 so that the exhaust holes 131 provided in the exhaust component 143 are all connected. In this way, the bubbles in the liquid inlet channel 145 and the liquid outlet channel 147 will respectively converge from the first connecting hole 148 and the second connecting hole 149 to the exhaust hole 131, and flow along the bypass pipe 133.
[0073] In this embodiment, the flow channels of the heat exchanger body are arranged along the width of the heat exchanger body and in at least two rows along the thickness. Coolant for the power components 111 is fed into the cooling channels. The liquid flows along the ends of the inner channels, then flows through the rear channels to the outflow channels, where it is then discharged and supplied to the cooling tank 113.
[0074] Furthermore, a set of heat exchanger bodies 139 is provided on each side of the header. That is, each heat exchanger 130 has two sets of heat exchanger bodies 139, allowing the header to be shared. The heat exchanger bodies 139 are air-cooled, with liquid flow channels inside and air-cooling channels outside.
[0075] In this embodiment, the inlet of the heat exchanger 130 is arranged near the top of the heat exchanger 130, and the outlet of the heat exchanger 130 is arranged near the bottom of the heat exchanger 130. That is, the inlet of the heat exchanger 130 is arranged on one side of the top of the liquid inlet channel 145, and the outlet of the heat exchanger 130 is arranged on one side of the bottom of the liquid outlet channel 147. The pressure at the top of the liquid inlet channel 145 is low, and bubbles formed by the impact of the liquid surface during liquid supply will float on the liquid surface, and bubbles in the coolant can also quickly float to the liquid surface. The outlet position has a low pressure, and there will be relatively few bubbles, or even no bubbles. This can further reduce the bubbles in the coolant supplied to the liquid cooling tank 113, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the liquid cooling tank 113.
[0076] Figures 1 to 8 In this embodiment, the liquid cooling system 100 further includes a container 115 and a fan 117. The container 115 is provided with a mounting notch and a fixing notch. The heat exchanger 130 is mounted in the mounting notch, and the fan 117 is mounted in the fixing notch. The fan 117 is configured to dissipate heat from the heat exchanger 130. The power element 111 and the liquid cooling tank 113 are disposed within the container 115.
[0077] Furthermore, there are six sets of heat exchangers 130. Mounting notches are provided on both sidewalls of the container 115 in the width direction, with three sets arranged side by side on each side. The power element 111 is a pump, and the inlets of the six sets of heat exchangers 130 are connected in parallel to the pump outlets via pipes. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the number of heat exchangers 130 can be selected based on heat exchange requirements. When the number of heat exchangers 130 is small, the mounting notches can also be provided on one sidewall of the container 115.
[0078] In this embodiment, a fixed notch is provided at the top of the container 115. Multiple sets of fans 117 are installed in the fixed notch. The operation of the fans 117 creates a negative pressure within the container 115, drawing air outside the container 115 into the container 115 through the air duct of the heat exchanger 130, thereby cooling the heat exchanger 130.
[0079] In this embodiment, there are four liquid cooling tanks 113, which are arranged in two rows within container 115 via support racks. The four liquid cooling tanks 113 are connected in parallel to the outlet of heat exchanger 130. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the number of liquid cooling tanks 113 can be selected based on actual needs. Alternatively, the tanks 113 can be placed directly in container 115 without support racks.
[0080] In this embodiment, there are two liquid storage tanks 150, which are disposed at the bottom layers of the two support frames, respectively. The outlets of the liquid cooling tanks 113 on the corresponding support frames are connected to the liquid storage tanks 150. The connecting pipe 153 can be connected to one of the liquid storage tanks 150, or to both of the liquid storage tanks 150. The two liquid storage tanks 150 are connected by a connecting pipe, thereby balancing the liquid levels of the coolant in the two liquid storage tanks 150. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the number of liquid storage tanks 150 can also be selected according to actual needs, for example, one or more.
[0081] In summary, the liquid cooling system 100 provided in this embodiment provides a vent 131 in the heat exchanger 130. This creates a pressure differential within the heat exchanger 130, with higher pressure at the bottom and lower pressure at the top. This allows bubbles formed within the heat exchanger 130 to quickly rise to the liquid surface due to the pressure differential and buoyancy, preventing them from flowing with the heat exchange medium. This reduces bubbles in the circulation loop and improves heat exchange efficiency. When bubbles floating on the liquid surface burst, the air can be discharged through the vent 131.
[0082] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
