Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a test fixture, in particular to a fixing seat test fixture for fixing quick release joint. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of server technology, the heat dissipation demand inside the server is increasing. The traditional air cooling heat dissipation mode has been difficult to meet the demand of high-efficiency heat dissipation in some applications, so the cooling plate heat dissipation and immersion heat dissipation technology are gradually adopted. These technologies rely on liquid cooling medium to transfer heat, and the quick release joint is used to connect the fluid between different cooling circuits, so it becomes one of the key components.

[0003] The traditional quick release joint is mainly applied to the hydraulic system or general liquid cooling heat dissipation, and the requirements for its sealing performance and service life are relatively low, and the replacement cost is not high. However, in the application of server liquid cooling heat dissipation, the quick release joint must have very high sealing performance to prevent the leakage of cooling liquid from causing short circuit of the server. In addition, since the interruption of server operation will bring maintenance cost and performance loss, the reliability and durability of the quick release joint are also very important to avoid frequent replacement or repair to cause additional downtime.

[0004] The quick release joint is usually in a cylindrical structure, and its axial position needs to be accurately fixed during testing to ensure that the butt joint depth meets the testing requirements. However, since the two ends of the quick release joint are functional areas and cannot be directly fixed, and the middle section lacks appropriate fixing structure, it is difficult to provide effective axial constraint during the testing process. In addition, the cylindrical shape further increases the difficulty of fixing, and without appropriate fixing mechanism, the quick release joint is easy to shift during testing, affecting the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0005] Therefore, how to design a fixing seat test fixture that can effectively fix the quick release joint and ensure the accuracy and stability of the axial and radial positions during the testing process has become a problem to be solved in this technical field. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The above-mentioned objects, structures and functional characteristics of the fixing seat test fixture are described in the preferred embodiments of the drawings.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1A to 3 The fixing seat test fixture 1 includes the adapter seat 10, the cover plate 11 and the two limiting pieces 12. The movement of the quick release connector 2 in the axial and radial directions is limited by the components, so that the quick release connector 2 can be fixed at the test position when the sealing performance of the quick release connector 2 is tested, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the test.

[0027] The adapter seat 10 is made of metal or non-metal material and has the opposite first end 101 and the second end 102 in the axial direction. The first end 101 is provided with at least one first connecting hole 101C, and at least one fixing piece 10F is arranged through the first connecting hole 101C, so that the adapter seat 10 is fixed to an external device 3 (such as a pipeline 4, as shown in the figure). Figure 3 The second end 102 is provided with at least two second connecting holes 102C and a first through hole 1020. The inner diameter of the first through hole 1020 matches the outer diameter of the middle section of the quick release connector 2, so that the radial movement of the quick release connector 2 is limited when the quick release connector 2 is arranged through the first through hole 1020. The first end 101 and the second end 102 jointly define an accommodating space LS. Specifically, the adapter seat 10 can have a vertical wall 10W, and the two ends of the vertical wall 10W are bent and extended to form the first end 101 and the second end 102, so as to form a laterally open U-shaped structure.

[0028] The cover plate 11 is made of metal or non-metal material and is fixedly arranged at the second end 102 of the adapter 10. Specifically, the cover plate 11 can be mounted on the plane of the second end 102 of the adapter 10 away from the first end 101. The cover plate 11 is provided with a second through hole 110 corresponding (aligned) with the first through hole 1020 of the second end 102 of the adapter 10 to form a channel together for the quick release connector 2 to pass through. The inner diameter of the second through hole 110 matches the outer diameter of the middle section of the quick release connector 2 to ensure that the quick release connector 2 can be limited in radial movement when passing through. The cover plate 11 is also provided with at least two third connecting holes 11C corresponding to at least two second connecting holes 102C of the second end 102 of the adapter 10. The fixing member 10F (such as a screw) is passed through and locked in the second connecting hole 102C and the third connecting hole 11C to fix the cover plate 11 on the plane of the second end 102 of the adapter 10 away from the first end 101. The fixing member here is not limited to a screw, but also includes a bolt, a rivet or other appropriate fixing members. In addition, the cover plate 11 and the adapter 10 can also be fixed without the above-mentioned fixing member, for example, by welding, gluing or other suitable bonding methods to achieve the same stable effect. The cover plate 11 is provided with a groove 11G, and the two side walls 11W of the groove 11G each have an inclined surface 11WI as a limiting structure for limiting the rotation range of the limiting member 12. The bottom surface of the groove 11G is provided with a columnar structure 11P for providing the pivoting positioning function of the limiting member 12.

[0029] The limiting member 12 can be a sheet-shaped body made of metal or non-metal material and is received in the groove 11G of the cover plate 11 and located between the cover plate 11 and the second end 102 of the adapter 10. This embodiment takes two adjacent and side-by-side arranged limiting members 12 as an example for illustration. One end of the limiting member 12 is provided with a through hole 120 which is sleeved on the columnar structure 11P so that the limiting member 12 can be pivotally mounted on the cover plate 11. The pivoting manner of the limiting member 12 is not limited to the combination of the columnar structure and the through hole, but also can adopt a hinged shaft, a hinge structure or other appropriate pivoting mechanisms to achieve the same pivoting function.

[0030] The limiting member 12 can form an arc-shaped notch 12N on the limiting member 12 so that it can be more adaptively clamped in the ring groove (such as a color ring placing groove) 20 of the outer edge of the quick release connector 2 to limit the axial movement of the quick release connector 2.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1A , Figure 1C and Figure 2As shown, the quick release connector 2 can be inserted into the channel formed by the first through hole 1020 and the second through hole 110. The two limit members 12 can be folded in the groove 11G to the appropriate position to clamp or secure the quick release connector 2. In the appropriate position, the limit members 12 and the ring groove 20 of the quick release connector 2 are mutually engaged to limit the axial movement of the quick release connector 2. When the quick release connector 2 needs to be removed at the end of the test, the fixing member 10F (such as a screw) can be loosened and the two limit members 12 can be rotated outward to separate the two limit members 12 to release the fixing of the quick release connector 2. The inclined surface 11WI of the side wall 11W of the groove 11G serves as a rotation range limiting structure of the two limit members 12 to constrain the rotation stroke of the limit members 12 and ensure that the limit members 12 move within the appropriate range.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1A and Figure 3 As shown, in an operating state, the first end 101 of the fixed seat test fixture 1 is inserted into the first connecting hole 101C through at least one fixing member (not shown in the figure) to fix the fixed seat test fixture 1 to an external device 3. The external device 3 may, for example, be a device with a floating centering function, so that the quick release connector 2 has the ability to correct the centering deviation when repeatedly plugging and unplugging with another connector (not shown in the figure). Figure 3 As shown, the quick release connector 2 is fixed to the fixed seat test fixture 1 and connected to an external medium pressure source 5 through the pipeline 4, thereby simulating the docking state of the quick release connector 2 in the actual operating environment to test the sealing performance and reliability.

[0033] In summary, the fixed seat test fixture of the embodiments of the present application can effectively control the docking depth of the quick release connector during the sealing or reliability test, ensure that there is no axial displacement or loosening during the test process, and avoid affecting the accuracy and reliability of the test results due to the position deviation.

[0034] The above has described the utility model in detail, but the above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and should not limit the scope of the utility model. That is, any equivalent changes and modifications made according to the utility model should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the utility model.
