[0021] The utility model provides a joint for testing the air tightness of a liquid cold plate: it includes a joint body 101, a connecting assembly, a sealing ring 108 and an air pipe quick plug 109, the connecting assembly includes an upper limit buckle 102, a lower limit buckle 103 and a plurality of positioning pins 104, the joint body 101 has two grooves 105 and a plurality of positioning pin holes 107, and the upper limit buckle 102 and the lower limit buckle 103 have an extension portion 106 on one side close to the joint body 101.

[0022] In this specific embodiment, the upper limit buckle 102 is slidably connected to the connector body 101 and is located on the upper side of the connector body 101. The lower limit buckle 103 is slidably connected to the connector body 101 and is located on the lower side of the connector body 101. A plurality of positioning pins 104 are respectively inserted into the connector body 101 to fix the upper limit buckle 102 and the lower limit buckle 103 to the connector body 101. The rear protrusions of the upper limit buckle 102 and the lower limit buckle 103 extend into the connector body 101, respectively, and can move relative to each other on the upper and lower sides of the connector body 101. There are four positioning pins 104, which are respectively inserted into the connector body 101 and are located on both sides of the protrusions of the upper limit buckle 102 and the lower limit buckle 103, thereby limiting the upper limit buckle 102 and the lower limit buckle 103, fixing the limit buckle to the connector body 101, and improving structural stability. The improvement of the upper limit buckle and the lower limit buckle 103 is intended to improve the connection reliability between the connector and the liquid cooling plate water nozzle, and effectively combine the connector and the liquid cooling plate water nozzle tightly without the risk of loosening.

[0023] The connector body 101 has two grooves 105, which are located on the upper and lower sides of the connector body 101 and respectively cooperate with the upper limit buckle 102 and the lower limit buckle 103. The upper limit buckle 102 and the lower limit buckle 103 have extensions 106 on the side close to the connector body 101, and the extensions 106 extend into the grooves 105.
