[0036] Specifically, in an optional embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the upper cold plate e comprises at least one through hole 12, the through hole 12 penetrates the upper cold plate e along the first direction D1, the heat dissipation module 9 comprises at least one sub-cold plate f, the sub-cold plate f is connected with the upper cold plate e through a detachable structure, and the sub-cold plate f covers the through hole 12. Optionally, a plurality of sub-cold plates f are connected with the upper cold plate e through bolts d respectively, and the present disclosure does not make a specific limitation on the form of the detachable structure, for example, the detachable structure can also be a clamping structure, a mortise and tenon structure or other structures, and the specific form can be set according to actual needs. The sub-cold plate f is connected with the upper cold plate e in a detachable manner, which facilitates disassembly and replacement. In this way, by arranging the sub-cold plate f and the upper cold plate e in a detachable structure, the disassembly and replacement of each sub-cold plate f are facilitated, and manpower and material resources are saved.
[0037] The number of through holes 12 is only an example in the drawings, and the present disclosure does not make a specific limitation on the number of through holes 12. Correspondingly, the present disclosure does not make a specific limitation on the number of sub-cold plates f, and the specific number is subject to actual needs, as long as the number of through holes 12 corresponds to the number of sub-cold plates f one by one.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The VPX board card 2 comprises a hard disk module 4, the sub-cold plate f comprises a first cold plate a, a second cold plate b and a third cold plate c, along the first direction D1, the first cold plate a at least partially overlaps with the central processor 0, the second cold plate b at least partially overlaps with the IPMI module 6, and the third cold plate c at least partially overlaps with the hard disk module 4.
[0039] Specifically, in an optional embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the upper cold plate e includes three through holes 12, which can be of the same shape or different shapes, and the present disclosure does not limit this. One through hole 12 covers the first cold plate a, and the first cold plate a is connected with the upper cold plate e through the bolt d. Optionally, the bolt d is located on both sides of the first cold plate a along the second direction D2, and the present disclosure does not limit the position of the bolt. The bolt d can also be located at other positions, and the specific position can be determined according to actual needs, as long as the bolt d can fix the first cold plate a and the upper cold plate e. Along the first direction D1, the first cold plate a is located on the side of the central processor 0 away from the bottom plate 5. Optionally, the area of the first cold plate a is approximately equal to that of the central processor 0, and the present disclosure does not limit this. The area of the first cold plate a can also be larger than that of the central processor 0, and the specific size can be determined according to actual needs, as long as the projection of the first cold plate a on the central processor 0 in the first direction D1 at least partially overlaps. Figure 5 Optionally, the side of the first cold plate a facing the central processor 0 further includes a heat-conducting pad 10, which is detachably connected to the first cold plate a. The first cold plate a further fixedly has a second thermocouple sensor 72, which is used to measure the temperature of the side of the heat-conducting pad 10 away from the central processor 0. By modularizing the heat dissipation module 9, the heat-conducting pad 10 or the thermocouple sensor 7 can be replaced or upgraded as needed according to application requirements. It should be noted that, in order to facilitate understanding of the relative position relationship between the first thermocouple sensor 71 and the second thermocouple sensor 72, the second thermocouple sensor 72 is drawn on the side of the heat-conducting pad 10 facing the central processor 0. Actually, the second thermocouple sensor 72 is located on the side of the heat-conducting pad 10 away from the central processor 0. It can be understood that the second thermocouple sensor 72 can also be located at other positions, and the specific position can be determined according to actual needs.
[0040] Optionally, referring to Figures 2 to 3 , one through hole 12 covers the second cold plate b, and the second cold plate b is connected with the upper cold plate e through the bolt d. The second cold plate b is located on the side of the IPMI module 6 away from the bottom plate 5. Optionally, one through hole 12 covers the third cold plate c, and the third cold plate c is connected with the upper cold plate e through the bolt d. The third cold plate c is located on the side of the hard disk module 4 away from the bottom plate 5. Since the IPMI module 6 and the hard disk module 4 are both fixed in the form of a small buckle plate on the VPX board card 2, by modularizing the heat dissipation module 9, the IPMI module 6 and the hard disk module 4 can be used for inspection or replacement. The second cold plate b or the third cold plate c can also be repaired or replaced as needed.
[0041] In this way, by arranging the heat dissipation module 9 in the form of the above cold plate e as a substrate and the plurality of sub-cold plates f being detachably connected, the maintenance or replacement of each device on the VPX board card 2 can be facilitated, and the maintenance or replacement of the heat-conducting pad 10 and the thermocouple sensor 7 can be facilitated, thereby reducing the difficulty of maintenance and saving manpower and resources.
[0042] Optionally, the hard disk module 4 adopts a hard disk module with an mSATA SSD 256GB memory space, which can realize large-capacity long-time data storage for test data. The type of the hard disk module 4 is not specifically limited in the present disclosure, and the hard disk module 4 can also include hard disks of other types and capacities, which are specifically set according to actual needs.
[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the heat-conducting pad 10 is located on the side of the first cold plate a facing the central processor 0.
[0044] Specifically, the heat-conducting pad 10 is made of high-performance heat-conducting material and can be used to enhance the heat dissipation capacity of the heat-generating device on the VPX board card 2. As described above, the first thermocouple sensor 71 is used to detect the temperature of the surface of the central processor 0, and the second thermocouple sensor 72 is used to detect the temperature of the surface of the side of the heat-conducting pad 10 away from the central processor 0. Along the first direction D1, the projection of the heat-conducting pad 10 and the central processor 0 at least partially overlaps, and the heat-conducting pad 10 is used to enhance the heat dissipation capacity of the central processor 0. In this way, by arranging the heat-conducting pad 10 on the side of the first cold plate a facing the central processor 0, the heat dissipation capacity of the central processor 0 can be enhanced, and the normal operation of the central processor 0 can be ensured.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the thermocouple sensor 7 includes the first thermocouple sensor 71 and the second thermocouple sensor 72. The first thermocouple sensor 71 is fixed on both sides of the central processor 0 along the second direction D2 and in contact with the surface of the central processor 0. The second thermocouple sensor 72 is fixed on the side of the first cold plate a facing the heat-conducting pad 10 and in contact with the surface of the heat-conducting pad 10. Along the first direction D1, the projection of the first thermocouple sensor 71 and the second thermocouple sensor 72 overlaps.
[0046] Specifically, along the first direction D1, the first thermocouple sensor 71 for detecting the surface temperature of the central processor 0 overlaps the projection of the second thermocouple sensor 72 for detecting the surface temperature of the heat-conducting pad 10, that is, the first thermocouple sensor 71 and the second thermocouple sensor 72 are located on both sides of the heat-conducting pad 10 along the first direction D1, respectively for detecting the temperature of the central processor 0 and the heat-conducting pad 10. Further, since the heat distribution inside the central processor 0 can be uneven, the first thermocouple sensor 71 and the second thermocouple sensor 72 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence in the first direction D1, and the temperature data measured by the second thermocouple sensor 72 is compared with the temperature data measured by the first thermocouple sensor 71 at the corresponding position, which can be used to detect the heat-conducting performance of the heat-conducting pad 10; when the temperature data of the heat-conducting pad 10 and the temperature data of the central processor 0 in the same projection position are compared, it is more convincing. It can be understood that the number of the first thermocouple sensor 71 and the second thermocouple sensor 72 is equal.
[0047] In this way, by arranging the first thermocouple sensor 71 and the second thermocouple sensor 72 in one-to-one correspondence in the first direction D1, the temperature data of the heat-conducting pad 10 and the central processor 0 in the same projection position can be compared more convincingly, which is beneficial to subsequent temperature comparison analysis.
[0048] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, only 4-way temperature data of the central processor 0 and 4-way thermocouple data of the heat-conducting pad 10 are tested, and the present disclosure does not specifically limit the number of test sites, and the number of test thermocouple sensors 7 and the number of test sites can be increased as needed.
[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the thermocouple sensor 7 includes a K-type thermocouple sensor 7.
[0050] Specifically, the thermocouple temperature measurement plate 100 is embedded with multiple types of thermocouple sensors 7 (such as K-type, J-type, etc.), and the present disclosure does not limit the type of thermocouple sensor 7, and other types of thermocouples can be selected according to needs. Taking the K-type thermocouple sensor 7 as an example, the electrode material of the K-type thermocouple sensor 7 is nickel-chromium-nickel-silicon, the measurement accuracy can reach 0.01 level, the temperature range is -40℃~+500℃, and the test sensing head thickness is 0.16mm thin sheet, which can make the measurement data more accurate.
[0051] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the plate material of the heat dissipation module 9 includes metal materials and high-thermal-conductivity non-metal materials.
[0052] Specifically, the upper cold plate e and the sub-cold plate f in the heat dissipation module 9 can be made of high thermal conductivity materials, such as high thermal conductivity metal materials and high thermal conductivity non-metallic materials. Optionally, the metal material includes a metal with high thermal conductivity, such as aluminum or copper, to improve the thermal response speed. Optionally, the non-metallic material includes a non-metallic material with high thermal conductivity, such as carbon fiber. These materials are not listed here one by one. It is sufficient that the plate of the heat dissipation module 9 is made of a material with high thermal conductivity. This will help improve the thermal response speed and facilitate heat dissipation.
[0053] Figure 6 The figure shows a connection diagram of a thermocouple temperature acquisition circuit provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The IPMI module 6 includes a thermocouple temperature acquisition circuit, which includes an amplifier, a digital-to-analog converter and a single-chip microcomputer. The amplifier is connected to the thermocouple sensor 7 in a one-to-one correspondence, the amplifier is connected to the digital-to-analog converter, and the digital-to-analog converter is connected to the single-chip microcomputer in a parallel port form.
[0054] Specifically, in an optional embodiment provided by the present disclosure, 8 AD8495 amplifiers are used to amplify the tiny signals of the analog inputs of the 8-way thermocouple sensors 7, and the signals output from the amplifiers enter the analog-to-digital converter AD7606 to be converted into digital signals, which are transmitted to the single-chip microcomputer MCU in the form of a parallel port. The single-chip microcomputer MCU then filters the received data and finally transmits the processed thermocouple temperature data to the backplane MCU unit (Micro Control Unit) through the IPMB bus (Intelligent Platform Management Bus).
[0055] Optionally, the amplifier includes a built-in cold-junction compensation function. Since the voltage measured by the thermocouple sensor 7 reflects the temperature difference between the hot and cold junctions (the connection terminal or the end away from the measured object), and the cold junction temperature is often not zero degrees, this can reduce the thermoelectric potential difference and cause inaccurate measurements. To reduce this error, the amplifier internally implements certain measures, such as connecting thermal resistors in series to form a bridge, to compensate for the effects of cold-junction temperature variations, thereby determining the true hot-junction temperature. In this way, temperature measurement errors caused by temperature variations can be reduced, effectively improving measurement accuracy.
[0056] In this way, by setting up the IPMI module 6 with a thermocouple temperature acquisition circuit, the measurement accuracy can be effectively improved while collecting temperature data, and the final processed temperature data can be transmitted to the backplane MCU unit, realizing the integration of temperature acquisition, compensation and transmission.
[0057] It should be noted that other functions of the IPMI module 6 are the same as those in the prior art and are not described in detail here.
[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The thermocouple temperature measurement plate 100 includes a communication interface 11, and the panel 1 includes a plurality of grooves 13 penetrating the panel 1 along the second direction D2, and the projection of the communication interface 11 along the second direction D2 overlaps the grooves 13.
[0059] Specifically, in an optional embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the communication interface 11 in the VPX board card 2 includes a 2-way usb3.0 (Universal Serial Bus) interface, a 1-way ETH (Ethernet) network interface, and a 1-way VGA (Video Graphics Array) interface, etc. The communication interface 11 is responsible for communication with external systems, can realize single-board data export and processing, and the front interface is designed with an indicator light, which can display the state of the board card. Along the second direction D2, the panel 1 includes a plurality of grooves 13 penetrating the panel 1, the number and shape of the grooves 13 are adapted to the communication interface 11 in the VPX board card 2, for user access to the communication interface 11 from the front end of the panel 1, and the panel 1 can also be used to protect the VPX board card 2. Optionally, the panel 1 can also include a display screen for displaying temperature curves, etc.
[0060] For example, the present disclosure is a 6U7HP VPX standard board card, but this scheme can be derived into a 3U VPX standard board card and other forms of non-standard board cards, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.
[0061] The thermocouple temperature measurement plate 100 based on the VPX architecture provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure has the advantages of compact structure, high measurement accuracy, fast response speed, and easy integration, etc., is suitable for temperature monitoring needs in various fields, and has a wide application prospect.
[0062] In summary, the present disclosure provides a thermocouple temperature measurement plate based on VPX architecture, which comprises a heat dissipation module, a plurality of thermocouple sensors, a VPX board, a bottom plate and a panel. The thermocouple temperature measurement plate can be used to detect the heat conduction performance of the heat conduction pad. The temperature detection is performed on the central processor and the heat conduction pad at the same time, which can improve the measurement accuracy. The thermocouple temperature measurement plate has a compact structure and is easy to integrate, and can be widely used in various fields. By setting the sub-cooling plate and the upper cooling plate in a detachable structure connection, the disassembly and replacement of each sub-cooling plate is facilitated. By modularizing the heat dissipation module, the heat conduction pad or the thermocouple sensor can be replaced or upgraded. By setting the heat dissipation module in the form of the upper cooling plate as the substrate and the plurality of sub-cooling plates being detachably connected, the devices on the VPX board, the heat conduction pad and the thermocouple sensor can be repaired or replaced, which reduces the difficulty of repair and saves manpower and resources. By setting the first thermocouple sensor and the second thermocouple sensor in one-to-one correspondence in the first direction, the temperature data comparison of the heat conduction pad and the central processor in the same projection position is more convincing, which is beneficial to subsequent temperature comparison analysis. The plate material of the heat dissipation module is a material with high thermal conductivity, which is beneficial to heat dissipation. By setting the IPMI module with the thermocouple temperature acquisition circuit, temperature acquisition, compensation and transmission integration are realized.
