Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data center cooling technology, and in particular to a waterproof cabinet device and a cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most data center cooling systems use water cooling. The Cooling Distribution Unit (CDU) supplies cooling water through pipes to cooling plates inside the server rack, which then dissipate heat from the servers. If the external liquid cooling pipes rupture, the cooling water can leak, potentially splashing into the rack and causing short circuits in the power supply busbars, leading to server downtime or damage.

[0003] Currently, server racks use a top-mounted water collection tray to catch leaked cooling water and prevent it from splashing into the rack interior. However, the inventors of this application discovered during their design research that because the pipe ends have connecting plates with a diameter larger than the pipe diameter, and the water collection tray needs to have pipe clearance holes to allow the pipes and connecting plates to pass through, the diameter of these clearance holes also needs to be larger than the pipe diameter. Therefore, installing the water collection tray at the top of the rack creates a large gap between the pipe clearance hole and the pipe, allowing leaked coolant to potentially splash into the rack interior through this gap in the event of a liquid cooling pipe leak. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a waterproof device and cabinet for server racks to prevent coolant leaking from liquid cooling pipes from splashing into the cabinet interior, thereby better protecting the cabinet.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, this utility model provides a cabinet waterproofing device, including a water collection tray and a waterproof component. The water collection tray is located on the top of the cabinet and has a pipe clearance hole for pipes inside the cabinet to pass through. The waterproof component is installed on the water collection tray and includes a clamping member that can be sleeved on the outer wall of the pipe. When the clamping member is sleeved on the pipe, the waterproof component seals the gap between the pipe and the pipe clearance hole.

[0006] In some embodiments, the waterproofing element includes at least two of the clamping elements, which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the pipe.

[0007] In some embodiments, the clamping member is provided with a connecting portion, and the connecting portions of a plurality of clamping members are connected by a fastening device so that the clamping member is sleeved on the pipe.

[0008] In some embodiments, the clamping member is further provided with an arc-shaped segment, and when multiple clamping members are fastened together by a fastening device, the multiple arc-shaped segments surround and form a circular hole that abuts against the pipe.

[0009] In some embodiments, the fastening device is a bolt or a clamping nut.

[0010] In some embodiments, the water collection tray has a folded edge extending away from the cabinet, and the folded edge is disposed along the periphery of the pipe clearance hole.

[0011] In some embodiments, when the clamping member is fitted onto the pipe, the waterproof member completely covers the folded edge of the water collection tray.

[0012] In some embodiments, the waterproof component has a snap-fit ​​folded edge along its periphery on the side facing the cabinet, and the height of the snap-fit ​​folded edge is greater than that of the water collection tray folded edge.

[0013] In some embodiments, the waterproof component is square or round.

[0014] Secondly, this utility model embodiment also provides a cabinet, including a cabinet body and a cabinet waterproofing device as described in the first aspect, disposed on the top of the cabinet body; the water collection tray of the cabinet waterproofing device is fixed to the top of the cabinet by a plurality of screws, and a waterproof component disposed on the water collection tray is sleeved on the pipe of the cabinet.

[0015] The present invention has the following advantages: a clamping device is fitted on the pipe and placed on the water collection tray, and the clamping device can completely seal the leakage gap between the pipe and the pipe clearance hole, so that when the liquid cooling pipe leaks, the leaked cooling will not splash into the cabinet, thereby better protecting the cabinet.

[0016] In the above embodiments, the cabinet and the corresponding cabinet waterproofing device embodiments belong to the same concept, and thus have the same technical effect as the corresponding cabinet waterproofing device embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

Those skilled in the art can understand its specific meaning in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cabinet waterproofing device of this embodiment includes a water collection tray 1 and a waterproof component 2. The water collection tray 1 is located on the top of the cabinet 3. The water collection tray 1 is provided with a pipe clearance hole 11 for the pipe 31 inside the cabinet 3 to pass through. The waterproof component 2 is installed on the water collection tray 1. The waterproof component 2 includes a clamping member 21 that can be sleeved on the outer wall of the pipe 31. When the clamping member 21 is sleeved on the pipe 31, the waterproof component 2 seals the gap between the pipe 31 and the pipe clearance hole 11.

[0028] Understandable, such as Figure 4 As shown, when only the water collection tray 1 is installed on the top of the cabinet 3, there will be a large water leakage gap between the pipe 31 and the pipe clearance hole 11. When the liquid cooling pipe leaks, the coolant may fall into the cabinet 3 through the water leakage gap. In this embodiment, by installing a clamping member 21 on the pipe 31, and when the clamping member 21 is installed on the pipe 31, the waterproof member 2 seals the water leakage gap between the pipe 31 and the pipe clearance hole 11, thereby preventing the leaked coolant from falling into the cabinet 3 through the sealed water leakage gap between the pipe 31 and the pipe clearance hole 11.

[0029] In this embodiment, by installing a clamping member 21 on the water collection tray 1 on the pipe 31, and by completely sealing the water leakage gap between the pipe 31 and the pipe clearance hole 11, it can be ensured that the leaked cooling liquid will not splash into the cabinet 3 when the liquid cooling pipeline leaks, thereby better protecting the cabinet 3.

[0030] In one possible embodiment, the waterproof component 2 includes at least two clamping members 21, which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the pipe 31.

[0031] It is understandable that after the water collection tray 1 is installed on the top of the cabinet 3, the leakage gap between the pipe 31 and the pipe clearance hole 11 needs to be sealed by the waterproof component 2. In order to facilitate the installation and removal of the waterproof component 2, at least two detachable clamping components 21 need to be fitted onto the pipe 31. In this embodiment, there are two clamping components 21. When the two clamping components 21 are closed, the connection between the two clamping components 21 forms a through hole that is compatible with the pipe 31, so that the clamping component 21 is fitted onto the pipe 31. Then, the clamping component 21 is set on the water collection tray 1, so that the leakage gap between the pipe 31 and the pipe clearance hole 11 can be sealed.

[0032] In one possible embodiment, the clamping member 21 is provided with a connecting part 22, and the connecting parts 22 of multiple clamping members 21 are connected by a fastening device 4 so that the clamping member 21 is sleeved on the pipe 31.

[0033] In this embodiment, each clamping member 21 is provided with two connecting parts 22, which are located on both sides of the through hole of the sleeve pipe 31. Each connecting part 22 is provided with several connecting holes, specifically four connecting holes in this embodiment. When the clamping members 21 are closed, the connecting parts 22 on the clamping members 21 are connected and the connecting holes on the connecting parts 22 are aligned. At this time, the two clamping members 21 can be connected together by the fastening device 4, so that the clamping members 21 are stably sleeved on the pipe 31.

[0034] In one possible embodiment, the fastening device 4 is a bolt or a clamping nut.

[0035] It is understood that the connecting hole on the connecting part 22 can be a through hole or a threaded hole. When the connecting hole is a threaded hole, the two clamping parts 21 can be connected by connecting the threaded holes of the two clamping parts 21 at the same time with bolts. When the connecting hole is a through hole, the connecting hole is aligned by clamping the nut, and then the screw is threaded through the connecting hole of the two clamping parts 21 and connected to the clamping nut. Rotating the clamping nut can also connect the two clamping parts 21 together.

[0036] In one possible embodiment, the clamping member 21 is also provided with an arc-shaped segment 23. When multiple clamping members 21 are fastened together by the fastening device 4, the multiple arc-shaped segments 23 surround and form a circular hole that abuts against the pipe 31.

[0037] Among them, the arc-shaped segment 23 on the clamping member 21 is adapted to each other. When the clamping member 21 is closed, the arc-shaped segment 23 will be spliced ​​into a round hole that is adapted to the pipe 31. The arc-shaped segment 23 on the clamping member 21 abuts against the outer wall of the pipe 31. When the clamping member 21 is located on the water collection plate 1, the clamping member 21 seals the water leakage gap between the pipe 31 and the pipe avoidance hole 11.

[0038] In one possible embodiment, the water collection tray 1 is provided with a water collection tray flange 12 extending away from the cabinet 3, and the water collection tray flange 12 is provided along the periphery of the pipe avoidance hole 11.

[0039] It is understandable that when the coolant leaks in the liquid cooling pipes, the leaking coolant is collected by the water collection tray 1. The folded edge 12 of the water collection tray, which is set along the periphery of the pipe clearance hole 11, can prevent the coolant from flowing into the cabinet 3 along the pipe clearance hole 11, thus better protecting the cabinet 3.

[0040] In one possible embodiment, when the clamping member 21 is fitted onto the pipe 31, the waterproof member 2 completely covers the folded edge 12 of the water collection tray.

[0041] It is understood that the clamping member 21 in this embodiment is used to seal the water leakage gap between the pipe 31 and the pipe clearance hole 11. The clamping member 21 is sleeved on the pipe 31. Therefore, the waterproof member 2 needs to completely cover the folded edge 12 of the water collection tray in order to completely seal the water leakage gap between the pipe 31 and the pipe clearance hole 11.

[0042] In one possible embodiment, the waterproof component 2 has a snap-fit ​​folded edge 24 along its periphery on the side facing the cabinet 3, and the height of the snap-fit ​​folded edge 24 is greater than that of the water collection tray folded edge 12.

[0043] Since the height of the snap-fit ​​flange 24 is greater than that of the water collection tray flange 12, when the waterproof component 2 is placed on the water collection tray 1, the snap-fit ​​flange 24 abuts against the water collection tray 1. The waterproof component 2 can completely cover the pipe clearance hole 11 and the water collection tray flange 12. When the liquid cooling pipe leaks, the snap-fit ​​flange 24 can also prevent the coolant on the water collection tray 1 from flowing into the pipe clearance hole 11. The snap-fit ​​flange 24 and the water collection tray flange 12 work together to prevent coolant from leaking into the cabinet 3.

[0044] In one possible embodiment, the waterproof component 2 is square or round. In this embodiment, the waterproof component 2 is square. Two square clamping components 21 are joined together to form a waterproof component 2 that is sleeved on the pipe 31 and completely covers the pipe clearance hole 11.

[0045] The cabinet waterproofing device provided in the above embodiments of this application forms a waterproofing component 2 by assembling two clamping parts 21, which is sleeved on the pipe 31 and completely covers the pipe clearance hole 11. It can completely seal the water leakage gap between the pipe 31 and the pipe clearance hole 11, and also prevent the coolant on the water collection tray 1 from flowing into the cabinet 3.

[0046] In another aspect of this embodiment, a cabinet is provided, including a cabinet body and a cabinet waterproofing device as described in the above embodiments of this application, which is disposed on the top of the cabinet body; the water collection tray 1 of the cabinet waterproofing device is fixed to the top of the cabinet 3 by a plurality of screws 32, and a waterproof component 2 disposed on the water collection tray 1 is sleeved on the pipe 31 of the cabinet 3.

[0047] The water collection tray 1 is fixed to the top of the cabinet 3 by multiple screws 32, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the water collection tray 1. The water collection tray 1 can cover the end face of the cabinet 3, saving the manufacturing materials of the cabinet 3. It can also receive the coolant flowing out when the liquid cooling pipe leaks. Furthermore, a waterproof part 2 is set on the water collection tray 1 and sleeved on the pipe 31 to seal the leakage gap between the pipe 31 and the pipe avoidance hole 11, so as to prevent the coolant from flowing into the cabinet 3 and better protect the cabinet 3.

[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
