Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example:

[0028] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses a data center-specific liquid cooling pipeline, including a cooling pipeline body 1. A leakage detection component 2 is installed on the cooling pipeline body 1.

[0029] The leak detection component 2 includes a first circular block 23 and a second circular block 24, wherein the shape of the first circular block 23 is the same as that of the second circular block 24.

[0030] The first circular block 23 and the second circular block 24 are respectively disposed at both ends of the corresponding cold pipe body 1. The outer peripheral surfaces of the first circular block 23 and the second circular block 24 are both machined with external threads. A connecting nut 25 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the first circular block 23. By rotating the connecting nut 25, the connecting nut 25 comes into contact with the corresponding first circular block 23 and the second circular block 24 on the adjacent cold pipe body 1.

[0031] A first placement groove 26 is provided on one side of the first circular block 23, and the bottom of the first placement groove 26 penetrates the inner wall of the first circular block 23. After the first circular block 23 comes into contact with the second circular block 24 on the adjacent cold pipe body 1, the first placement groove 26 is formed into a sealed space by the corresponding first circular block 23, the corresponding cold pipe body 1 and the second circular block 24 on the adjacent cold pipe body 1.

[0032] A float 27 is horizontally arranged in the first placement groove 26. At this time, one side of the float 27 is in contact with one side of the second circular block 24 on the adjacent cold pipe body 1. The cross-sectional shape of the float 27 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the first placement groove 26.

[0033] A leakage detection sensor 22 is provided at the bottom of the float 27. A guide rod 28 is provided at the top of the float 27, one end of which extends into the first circular block 23, and the guide rod 28 is slidably connected to the first circular block 23.

[0034] The first placement slot 26 and the floating plate 27 are both provided with a sealing component 4.

[0035] The sealing assembly 4 includes a sealing frame 41, which is disposed on the inner wall of the first placement groove 26, and part of the top of the sealing frame 41 is fixed to the bottom of the first round block 23 located at the opening of the first placement groove 26.

[0036] A groove 5 is machined along the edge of the top of the float plate 27, and the groove 5 penetrates the float plate 27. The shape of the groove 5 is adapted to the shape of the sealing frame 41.

[0037] A second placement groove 3 is provided on one side of the first circular block 23, and a cover plate 31 is provided at the opening of the second placement groove 3. The cover plate 31 is connected to the first circular block 23 by bolts.

[0038] A battery unit 32 is installed in the second placement slot 3, and a loudspeaker 21 is fixedly mounted on the cover plate 31. The battery unit 32 is electrically connected to the water leakage detection sensor 22 and the loudspeaker 21.

[0039] The water leakage detection sensor 22 is electrically connected to the loudspeaker 21.

[0040] The implementation principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0041] First, connect the two adjacent cold pipe bodies 1.

[0042] After connection, the first round block 23 on one of the cold pipe bodies 1 comes into contact with the second round block 24 on the other cold pipe body 1, the inside of the first placement groove 26 becomes a sealed space, and one side of the float 27 fits against one side of the second round block 24.

[0043] The operator wraps waterproof tape around the threads of the first round block 23 and the second rock block, and then rotates the connecting nut 25 so that the connecting nut 25 is in contact with both the first round block 23 and the second round block 24.

[0044] Due to gravity (by default, the first placement slot 26 is always located above the cold pipe body 1), the leakage detection sensor 22 is in contact with the corresponding outer surface of the cold pipe body 1.

[0045] When a leak occurs, liquid flows out from the interfaces of the two cold pipe bodies 1, causing the float 27 to move upwards. After the leak detection sensor 22 detects the liquid, it activates the loudspeaker 21, which emits a beeping sound to alert the operator and promptly locate the leak.

[0046] As the float 27 moves upward, the sealing frame 41 enters the groove 5, restricting the float 27 from continuing to move upward, and also preventing the liquid from continuing to spread upward from the sides of the float 27.

[0047] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
