Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an integrated water tank, in particular to an integrated water tank of a liquid cooling system applied in the field of cooling equipment. Background Art

[0002] The integrated water tank of a liquid cooling system is a crucial component, typically constructed from sturdy materials such as metal or high-strength plastic. It has a defined capacity and is used to store coolant. The tank typically features an inlet and outlet, which connect to the cooling system's piping, allowing coolant to flow in and out of the tank. It may also be equipped with accessories such as a level indicator and temperature sensor to monitor the coolant's condition.

[0003] The specification of Chinese patent CN217589923U discloses an outdoor modular energy storage inverter integrated system, including: a cabinet body, which is provided with a module compartment; the outdoor modular energy storage inverter integrated system provided by the utility model uses a water-cooling plate to liquid-cool the energy storage inverter. Compared with the traditional fan cooling method, liquid cooling is more reliable, less prone to failure, convenient for later maintenance, and has better heat dissipation effect and low implementation cost.

[0004] If the pipe interface in the integrated water tank of the liquid cooling system leaks during use, it will cause the loss of refrigerant inside, reducing the cooling capacity of the hollow water tank. This may increase the temperature of the cooled equipment, affecting its normal operation and performance. Since leakage is not easy to detect, the problem may persist for a period of time, causing the leakage to gradually worsen, thereby affecting the service life of the integrated water tank of the liquid cooling system. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the above-mentioned existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that once the pipe interface in the integrated water tank of the liquid cooling system leaks during use, it will cause the loss of refrigerant therein, and reduce the cooling capacity of the hollow water tank compartment, which may cause the temperature of the cooled equipment to rise, affecting its normal operation and performance. Since the leakage is not easy to detect, the problem may persist for a period of time, causing the leakage situation to gradually worsen, thereby affecting the service life of the integrated water tank of the liquid cooling system.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides an integrated water tank of a liquid cooling system, including a hollow water tank warehouse, the inner end of the hollow water tank warehouse is provided with a serpentine refrigeration coil, the front and rear sides of the right end of the hollow water tank warehouse are respectively provided with a liquid outlet circulation pipe port and a liquid inlet circulation pipe port, a pipe interface is provided between the liquid outlet circulation pipe port and the liquid inlet circulation pipe port and the serpentine refrigeration coil, the upper inner wall of the hollow water tank warehouse is fixedly connected to a strip guide rail located directly above the pipe interface, the output end of the strip guide rail is fixedly connected to a motor, the lower end of the motor is provided with a temporary blocking mechanism, the lower end of the temporary blocking mechanism is sleeved with a liquid blocking rubber ring, the lower inner wall of the hollow water tank warehouse is provided with a bottom arc plate located directly below the pipe interface, the lower inner wall of the bottom arc plate is provided with a lower groove, and the lower inner wall of the lower groove is fixedly connected to a water leakage detection mechanism.

[0007] In the integrated water tank of the above-mentioned liquid cooling system, this solution uses a control terminal connected to a water detection sensor to promptly detect leakage and issue an alarm. A temporary sealing mechanism can also be used to quickly and temporarily seal the leaking area before the arrival of maintenance personnel to prevent the leakage from further deteriorating. This can prevent small problems from developing into major failures and reduce the difficulty and cost of subsequent maintenance at the pipeline interface.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present application, the lower portion of the liquid-blocking rubber ring is sleeved on the outer side of the serpentine refrigeration coil, and the water leakage detection mechanism includes a mounting pole arranged on the lower inner wall of the lower groove.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present application, a water detection sensor is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting pole, and the temporary blocking mechanism includes a U-shaped top rod.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present application, the serpentine refrigeration coil is connected to the liquid outlet circulation pipe port and the liquid inlet circulation pipe port.

[0011] As another improvement of the present application, a rotating member is provided on the right side of the lower end of the U-shaped top rod, and a material threading cross bar is installed on the outer side of the rotating member.

[0012] As another improved supplement of the present application, a fastener is provided between the material threading cross bar and the U-shaped top bar, and a circulating refrigeration pump is externally connected to the hollow water tank.

[0013] As another improved supplement of the present application, the circulating refrigeration pump is interconnected with the liquid outlet circulation pipe port and the liquid inlet circulation pipe port, and the inner end of the serpentine refrigeration coil is filled with refrigerant.

[0014] In summary, this solution installs a bottom arc plate at the key pipe interface, and uses the control terminal external to the water detection sensor to detect leakage in time and issue an alarm to remind the staff to take measures to deal with it. Before the staff arrives, the strip guide rail can drive the temporary sealing mechanism to move the liquid blocking rubber ring below it to the position of the pipe interface, and after the displacement, the motor drives the liquid blocking rubber ring to rotate and entangle it, so that the liquid blocking rubber ring is tightly attached to the outer position of the pipe interface to prevent the liquid from continuing to leak, forming an effective seal, which can prevent the liquid from continuing to leak within a certain period of time. The temporary sealing mechanism can quickly temporarily seal the leaking part before the maintenance personnel arrive to prevent the leakage from further deterioration, avoid small problems from turning into major failures, and reduce the difficulty and cost of later maintenance at the pipe interface.

[0024] Two implementation modes of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] The first implementation method:

[0026] Figure 2-5 7 shows an integrated water tank for a liquid cooling system, comprising a hollow water tank compartment 1, the inner end of the hollow water tank compartment 1 being provided with a serpentine refrigeration coil 2, a liquid outlet circulation pipe port 18 and a liquid inlet circulation pipe port 19 being respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the right end of the hollow water tank compartment 1, a pipe interface 3 being provided between the liquid outlet circulation pipe port 18 and the liquid inlet circulation pipe port 19 and the serpentine refrigeration coil 2, the upper inner wall of the hollow water tank compartment 1 being fixedly connected with a strip guide rail 6 located directly above the pipe interface 3, the output end of the strip guide rail 6 being fixedly connected with a motor 17, the lower end of the motor 17 being provided with a temporary blocking mechanism 8, the lower end of the temporary blocking mechanism 8 being sleeved with a liquid blocking rubber ring 9, the lower inner wall of the hollow water tank compartment 1 being provided with a bottom arc plate 4 located directly below the pipe interface 3, the lower inner wall of the bottom arc plate 4 being provided with a lower groove 5, and the lower inner wall of the lower groove 5 being fixedly connected with a water leakage detection mechanism.

[0027] Figure 2-5 7 shows that the lower part of the liquid-blocking rubber ring 9 is sleeved on the outer side of the serpentine refrigeration coil 2. The water leakage detection mechanism includes a mounting pole 15 arranged on the lower inner wall of the lower groove 5. The upper end of the mounting pole 15 is fixedly connected to a water detection sensor 16. The temporary blocking mechanism 8 includes a U-shaped top rod 10. The serpentine refrigeration coil 2 is connected to the liquid outlet circulation pipe port 18 and the liquid inlet circulation pipe port 19. The hollow water tank 1 is externally connected to a circulating refrigeration pump. The circulating refrigeration pump is connected to the liquid outlet circulation pipe port 18 and the liquid inlet circulation pipe port 19. The inner end of the serpentine refrigeration coil 2 is filled with refrigerant.

[0028] Figure 1-57 shows that the present solution fills the refrigerant into the serpentine refrigeration coil 2 and circulates the refrigerant through the liquid outlet circulation pipe 18 and the liquid inlet circulation pipe 19 through the circulating refrigeration pump to achieve the water cooling function, and a pipe interface 3 is provided at the connection between the serpentine refrigeration coil 2 and the liquid outlet circulation pipe 18 or the liquid inlet circulation pipe 19. Once the pipe interface 3 leaks during use, it will cause the loss of refrigerant therein, which will reduce the cooling capacity of the hollow water tank 1. Therefore, it is necessary to install a bottom arc plate 4 at the key position of the pipe interface 3. The water leakage detection mechanism in the bottom arc plate 4 allows the liquid to drip with gravity when the liquid leaks at the pipe interface 3 and is detected by the water detection sensor 16 in the lower groove 5 of the bottom arc plate 4, and the control device 16 is connected to the water detection sensor 16. The terminal detects the leakage in time and issues an alarm to remind the staff to take measures to deal with it. Before the staff arrives, the strip guide rail 6 can drive the temporary blocking mechanism 8 to move the liquid blocking rubber ring 9 below it to the position of the pipe interface 3, and after the displacement, the motor 17 is used to drive the liquid blocking rubber ring 9 to rotate and sew, so that the liquid blocking rubber ring 9 is tightly attached to the outer position of the pipe interface 3 to prevent the liquid from continuing to leak, forming an effective seal, which can prevent the liquid from continuing to leak within a certain period of time. The temporary blocking mechanism 8 can quickly temporarily block the leaking part before the maintenance personnel arrive to prevent the leakage from further deteriorating, avoid small problems from turning into major faults, and reduce the difficulty and cost of repairing the pipe interface 3 in the later stage.

[0029] Second implementation method:

[0030] Figure 6 An integrated water tank of a liquid cooling system is shown. A rotating part 14 is provided on the right side of the lower end of the U-shaped top rod 10. A material-piercing cross bar 11 is installed on the outside of the rotating part 14. A fastener 13 is provided between the material-piercing cross bar 11 and the U-shaped top rod 10. At the same time, the upper position of the liquid-blocking rubber ring 9 can be sleeved on the outside of the material-piercing cross bar 11 in the temporary sealing mechanism 8. The material-piercing cross bar 11 can be separated from the U-shaped top rod 10 by the fastener 13 and rotated by the rotating part 14. After rotation, the liquid-blocking rubber ring 9 can be disassembled and replaced, thereby ensuring the recycling efficiency of the temporary sealing mechanism 8.

[0031] In view of current actual needs, the protection scope of the above-mentioned implementation mode adopted in this application is not limited to this. Various changes made within the knowledge scope of technical personnel in this field without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
