Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquid cooling box sealing, in particular to a side edge sealed liquid cooling box. Background Art

[0002] Liquid cooling cabinets are widely used in the electronics industry for cooling cabinets and integrated circuits, as well as in the communications industry for cooling communication rooms, convergence rooms, and data centers. Liquid cooling cabinets are primarily divided into two types: standard and immersion. Standard liquid cooling cabinets primarily prevent water from the external environment, such as rain or snow, from seeping into the cabinet, thereby avoiding problems such as short circuits in batteries or electronic components caused by moisture, ensuring the safe use of the product in various environments. In immersion liquid cooling cabinets, batteries or electronic module components are immersed in a fluorine carbide solution, utilizing the low boiling point of the fluorine carbide solution to effectively cool the batteries or electronic components, improving cooling efficiency and providing better protection for the equipment.

[0003] At present, the commonly used design in the field of liquid cooling boxes is to fix the box cover and the box body with vertical nuts. However, this fixing method has significant disadvantages when dealing with severe weather conditions. When rain or snow water pours or seeps from above, due to the vertical direction of the nuts, water can easily seep into the box along the gap between the nuts and the box body, causing damage to the electronic components or batteries inside the box, causing safety problems such as short circuits, and seriously affecting the normal operation of the equipment. For immersion liquid cooling boxes, water seepage problems will cause water to come into contact with the internal fluorocarbon coolant, causing the performance of the coolant to deteriorate and may also cause leakage and other problems.

[0022] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting this patent;

[0023] In order to better illustrate this embodiment, some parts in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual product size;

[0024] It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and descriptions thereof may be omitted in the drawings.

[0025] The technical solution of the present utility model is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] This embodiment proposes a side-sealed liquid cooling box, such as Figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the structure of the side-sealed liquid cooling box of the present invention; Figure 2 As shown in the figure, it is a partial enlarged view of the box; Figure 3 The figure shows a partially enlarged top view of the box cover.

[0028] The side-sealed liquid cooling box proposed in this embodiment includes a box body 1 and a box cover 2, and also includes a rubber strip 4, wherein a plurality of spaced slots 3 are opened on the outer edge of the top of the box body 1, the inner side surface of the rubber strip 4 is engaged with the slot 3, and the inner side surface of the edge of the box cover 2 is fitted with the outer side surface of the rubber strip 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, the rubber strip 4 is inserted into the card slot 3 to achieve the sealing of the side edge of the box; secondly, the spaced arrangement of multiple card slots 3 makes the sealing contact area of ​​the rubber strip 4 larger and the waterproof performance better.

[0030] In this embodiment, the spaced arrangement of multiple slots significantly increases the sealing area between the rubber strip 4 and the housing 1. Compared to traditional single-strip or linear seals, this design effectively reduces the sealing gap and enhances sealing reliability, thereby significantly improving the liquid cooling box's waterproof, dustproof, and corrosion-resistant properties, making it suitable for high-humidity and high-dust working environments. Furthermore, the multi-point snap-in structure prevents deformation or wear of the rubber strip due to uneven pressure, ensuring that the sealing strip maintains its elasticity and tight fit during long-term use, effectively extending the liquid cooling box's service life.

[0031] As an exemplary illustration, the box cover 2 is made of metal or plastic.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the card slot 3 is provided on any opposite side of the top of the box body, or is provided around the top of the box body 1 .

[0033] In this embodiment, the design of the card slot 3 can be set according to actual usage. The card slot 3 arranged around the box cover 2 and the rubber strip 4 provides a continuous and stable matching surface, ensuring that the box cover 2 can fit tightly with the rib 3 when closed, thereby effectively reducing potential gaps and preventing gas, liquid or dust from penetrating into the box through the gaps; the card slot 3 arranged on any opposite side of the top of the box body can achieve more flexible installation and adapt to different usage requirements, so that the card slot only provides sealing settings in the required areas, simplifying the structure.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the box cover 2 is engaged with the box body 1 through an engaging component.

[0035] In this embodiment, the box cover 2 and the box body 1 are fixed by snapping, replacing the traditional vertical nut fixation, so that there are no holes on the upper surface of the box cover edge, reducing the risk of liquid inflow and infiltration in the vertical direction.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, a card hole 5 is provided at the top of the card slot 3 ; the engaging component is a card block 6 at the bottom of the box cover 2 , and the card block 6 is engaged with the card hole 5 accordingly.

[0037] In this embodiment, by providing a card hole 5 on the card slot 3 and corresponding to the card block 6 at the bottom of the box cover 2, the alignment between the box cover 2 and the box body 1 is achieved, the gap between the box cover and the box body is reduced, and the overall sealing effect is improved; in addition, providing the card block 6 at the bottom of the box cover 2 helps to prevent external dust and moisture from entering the box through the gap between the box cover 2 and the box body 1; the card block 6 also simplifies the installation process of the box cover, thereby improving the convenience of use and operating efficiency.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the locking holes 5 are distributed at equal intervals on the top of the locking slot 3 .

[0039] As an example, for a box that is 1100 mm long and 760 mm wide, the number of square holes on the short side can be set to 4, the number of square holes on the long side can be set to 6, and the size of the square holes is set to 4 mm × 8 mm.

[0040] In this embodiment, the equally spaced locking holes 5 ensure that when the box cover 2 is engaged with the box body 1, the locking block 6 can achieve uniform force distribution on the ribs, avoiding force concentration at a specific point, thereby reducing structural stress and potential deformation, and improving overall stability and durability.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] This embodiment makes improvements based on the side-sealed liquid cooling box proposed in Example 1.

[0043] The side-sealed liquid cooling box proposed in this embodiment includes a box body 1 and a box cover 2, and also includes a rubber strip 4, wherein a plurality of spaced slots 3 are opened on the outer edge of the top of the box body 1, the inner side surface of the rubber strip 4 is engaged with the slot 3, and the inner side surface of the edge of the box cover 2 is fitted with the outer side surface of the rubber strip 4.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, a fastener is further included. A hollow cavity 7 is provided on the outside of the box body 1 below the card slot 3, and a first opening 8 is provided on the side of the hollow cavity 7; a second opening 9 is provided on the edge of the box cover 2 corresponding to the first opening 8; the fastener passes through the second opening 9 and the first opening 8 in sequence to fasten the box body 1 and the box cover 2.

[0045] In this embodiment, the rubber strip 4 is first inserted into the slot 3, and then the lid 2 is engaged with the box body 1 via the engaging components, initially completing the seal between the box body 1 and the lid 2. Fasteners are then used to tighten the edges of the lid 2 from the side, achieving side fixation and further strengthening the seal, ensuring a tight fit between the box body and the lid, and significantly improving the overall sealing performance. The cavity design provides additional space for the fasteners, making it easier for them to pass through the corresponding openings and ensuring that the fasteners can firmly connect the lid and the box body, increasing the flexibility and reliability of the fastening.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the fastener is a nut.

[0047] In this embodiment, a nut ensures a secure connection between the box body and the box cover. Furthermore, this nut is tightened from the side. Compared to traditional vertical nut tightening methods, which may risk liquid seeping through the gap between the nut and bolt, the nut in this embodiment is tightened from the side, effectively reducing the possibility of liquid seeping into the box body through the fastener, thereby significantly improving the waterproof performance of the box body.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the surface of the nut is covered with a waterproof layer.

[0049] In this embodiment, the waterproof layer can effectively prevent moisture from penetrating through the surface of the nut, thereby reducing the risk of damage caused by moisture intrusion.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the inner side surface of the rubber strip 4 is in a multi-tooth shape, and the number of teeth is the same as the number of the slots.

[0054] like Figure 4 The figure shows a partial enlarged view of the rubber strip.

[0055] In this embodiment, the multi-toothed rubber strip is tightly engaged with the slot, which can increase the contact area of ​​the joint, thereby improving the airtightness of the overall structure and effectively preventing the infiltration of liquid from outside the liquid cooling box or the leakage of liquid from inside the liquid cooling box.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, the rubber strip 4 includes a silicone rubber strip, a fluororubber strip, a foamed silicone strip or an EVA rubber strip.

[0057] In this embodiment, all rubber strips exhibit excellent sealing properties, effectively preventing the ingress of foreign matter such as water, dust, and air, ensuring the integrity and airtightness of the sealing component. Furthermore, all rubber strips exhibit excellent temperature resistance, aging resistance, and UV resistance, making them suitable for a variety of climates and ensuring long-term use without aging or performance degradation. Furthermore, these rubber strips are generally flexible, adaptable to the card slot 3, and capable of maintaining a stable seal under pressure.
