Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technology of connector field, in particular to an immersion type connector module. Background Art
[0002] A computer case typically consists of an outer shell, brackets, and various switches and indicator lights on the panel. As part of a computer's overall design, the case primarily houses and secures components, providing support and protection. The components within the case generate significant heat during operation. Existing methods often use cooling fans to dissipate this heat to prevent excessive internal temperatures from affecting component efficiency. However, this heat dissipation efficiency is relatively low. To meet higher heat dissipation requirements, some cases employ water cooling.
[0003] When using water cooling for heat dissipation, the required cooling liquid must be poured into the chassis. Existing chassis connector modules have poor sealing performance when installed on the chassis. Therefore, in a water-cooled chassis, the cooling liquid will leak out from the connection between the existing connector module and the chassis. As a result, the existing connector module cannot meet the needs of a wide range of chassis and has significant limitations. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the existing connector module structure. Utility Model Content

The circuit board 30 is secured to the second mounting cavity 102 by screwing. Furthermore, the circuit board 30 may also be secured to the second mounting cavity 102 by other fixing methods, such as adhesive bonding or snap fastening. A soldering connector 32 is provided on the inside of the circuit board 30 for connecting to the connecting wire 60.
[0033] The connector 40 is disposed outside the circuit board 30 and communicates with the circuit board 30 . There are multiple connectors 40 , and the outer end of each connector 40 extends inwardly into the corresponding first mounting cavity 101 .
[0034] The second sealing member 50 is disposed in the second mounting cavity 102 and seals the rear end opening of the second mounting cavity 102 . In this embodiment, there is also at least one second sealing member 50 , and each second sealing member 50 seals the rear end opening of the corresponding second mounting cavity 102 .
[0035] One end of the connecting wire 60 is connected to the inner side of the circuit board 30, and the other end of the connecting wire 60 extends outward from the second sealing member 50. In this embodiment, the outer end of the connecting wire 60 is connected to the mainboard inside the chassis; the connecting wire 60 is used to connect the circuit board 30 and other interfaces in the chassis.
[0036] The design focus of the present invention is as follows: a first sealing member is arranged on the panel and clamped between the panel and the external chassis; the first sealing member is used to increase the sealing performance between the connector module and the chassis to prevent the water-cooling liquid from flowing out of the gap at the installation location, and the second sealing member is arranged in the second installation cavity and seals the rear end opening of the second installation cavity; the second sealing member is used to prevent the water-cooling liquid from entering the interior of the connector module, which not only prevents the water-cooling liquid from flowing out of the chassis, but also prevents the water-cooling liquid from damaging the internal structure of the connector module.
