In this embodiment, the outlet hole 401 has a certain depth; in other words, the wall of the outlet hole 401 has a certain thickness. The sealing ring groove 4110 is located at the middle position in the depth direction. That is, the outlet hole 401 has three stepped holes with small diameters on both sides and a large diameter in the middle in the depth direction. This ensures reliable fixing of the sealing ring, and the sealing ring is not easily dislodged from the sealing ring groove 4110 no matter which direction the cable is subjected to force.

[0034] In this embodiment, the plurality of cable outlet holes 401 include various holes with different diameters to accommodate cables of different thicknesses and numbers passing through. For example...

The multiple cable outlet holes 401 are arranged in a row to facilitate the sorting, organization, and sealing of multiple cables. In other embodiments, the type of hole diameter, the number of cable outlet holes 401, and the arrangement of the cable outlet holes 401 are not limited to the above, and other arrangements are also possible.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first half-shell 41 and the second half-shell 42 each include a top wall 411 and a side wall extending downward from the top wall 411. Each half-shell forms a half-chamber, and the bottom side and the side facing the other half-shell of each half-shell are openings. In this embodiment, both the first half-shell 41 and the second half-shell 42 are generally cuboid half-shells with chambers. Taking the side facing the other half-shell as the front side, each half-shell includes a top wall 411, a rear wall, and left and right side walls, and the front and bottom sides of each half-shell are openings. The openings at the front sides of the two half-shells are used to connect to form a complete wire-exit sealing device 4. The opening on the lower side of the wire-exit sealing device 4 is disposed on the through hole 301 of the liquid container 3.

[0036] In this embodiment, the cable outlet 401 is formed on the top wall 411. The edges of the top walls of the first half-shell 41 and the second half-shell 42 each form a semi-hole 4111. When the first half-shell 41 and the second half-shell 42 are joined, the semi-holes 4111 are assembled into a complete circular cable outlet 401. The sidewalls of the first half-shell 41 and the second half-shell 42 that are in contact with each other are provided with outwardly extending vertical flange edges. Taking the side facing the other half-shell as the front side, the sidewalls of the first half-shell 41 and the second half-shell 42 that are in contact with each other are the left and right sidewalls. The vertical flange edge is a longitudinally extending, i.e., a convex edge extending in the vertical direction. A docking fixing hole 4121 is provided on the vertical flange edge, forming the docking connection part 412. The first half-shell 41 and the second half-shell 42 can be fixed together as a single unit by passing screws through the docking fixing hole 4121. The bottom ends of the sidewalls of the first half-shell 41 and the second half-shell 42 that are in contact with each other, i.e., the left and right sidewalls, are provided with outwardly extending transverse flange edges, which are horizontally extending convex edges. Assembly and fixing holes 4131 are provided on the transverse flange edges, forming the assembly and fixing part 413. The outlet sealing device 4 can be fixed to the top wall of the liquid container 3 by passing screws through the assembly and fixing holes 4131.

[0037] The docking fixing hole 4121 and the assembly fixing hole 4131 are respectively used for screws to pass through and lock the connection. Furthermore, in some embodiments, a sealing washer may be fitted on the screw to form a seal around the docking fixing hole 4121 and the assembly fixing hole 4131.

[0038] Please see Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the assembly fixing hole 4131 is located outside the assembly seal, and the surface of the outlet sealing device 4 facing the liquid container 3 is provided with a sealing strip groove 4130. The assembly seal is an annular sealing strip (not shown) installed in the sealing strip groove 4130. When the outlet sealing device 4 is locked onto the liquid container 3 by passing a screw through the assembly fixing hole 4131, the annular sealing strip is pressed around the through hole 301 of the liquid container 3, forming a seal. Since the screw and the assembly fixing hole 4131 are located outside the annular sealing strip, the sealing requirements at the screw and the assembly fixing hole 4131 can be reduced or even eliminated, reducing the sealing difficulty at this point and improving the connection reliability.

[0039] This utility model also provides a liquid-cooled cabinet 100, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a liquid container 3 for holding immersion liquid and a line-out sealing device 4 as described above. The top of the liquid container 3 has a through hole 301, and the line-out sealing device 4 is installed over the through hole 301 and forms a sealed connection with the through hole 301.

[0040] As can be seen from the above description of the specific embodiments, the cable outlet sealing device 4 provided by this utility model is assembled by docking the first half shell 41 and the second half shell 42. A plurality of complete cable outlet holes 401 are formed by docking the plurality of half holes 4111 on the first half shell 41 and the plurality of half holes 4111 on the second half shell 42. The first half shell 41 and the second half shell 42 also have an assembly fixing part 413 for connecting and fixing with the liquid container 3. A cable sealing element is provided at the cable outlet hole 401, and an assembly sealing element is provided between the cable outlet sealing device 4 and the liquid container 3. In this way, the cable extending from the liquid container 3 can be sealed, and it is convenient to comb and organize multiple cables, thereby improving the cable routing and sealing effect of multiple cables.
