[0032] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. Based on the embodiments in the embodiments, it is intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0033] "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" or "example" or "exemplary" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment.

[0034] As a first aspect of the application, the utility model discloses a liquid cooling cabinet, such as Figure 1 And Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the liquid cooling cabinet includes a cabinet body 1, a liquid inlet pipe 10, at least one flow equalizing plate 12 and at least one directional structure 13. The liquid inlet pipe 10 is arranged at the bottom of the cabinet body 1, and the liquid inlet pipe 10 includes a plurality of liquid distribution holes 101. The flow equalizing plate 12 is arranged at the top of the liquid inlet pipe 10, and a plurality of flow equalizing holes 121 are formed on the flow equalizing plate 12, so that the liquid flowing out of the liquid distribution holes 101 flows out through the flow equalizing holes 121. The directional structure 13 corresponds to the flow equalizing plate 12, and the directional structure 13 includes a support part 131 arranged at the top of the corresponding flow equalizing plate 12 to enclose a directional channel. The liquid flowing out of the flow equalizing holes 121 flows into the server interior in a directional manner through the directional channel.

[0035] The liquid cooling cabinet provided by the application realizes efficient directional distribution of the liquid cooling cabinet through the design of the flow equalizing plate 12 and the directional structure 13. First, the plurality of flow equalizing holes 121 on the flow equalizing plate 12 enables the cooling liquid to be evenly distributed to each area, avoiding the phenomenon of local overcooling or overheating, and ensuring the balance of the temperature of each part in the server interior. The evenly distributed cooling liquid can more effectively take away the heat in the server interior, improving the overall cooling efficiency and reducing the risk of overheating of the equipment. Second, the design of the directional structure 13 enables the cooling liquid to flow along a predetermined path and directly flow to the key parts that need to be cooled, reducing the ineffective flow of the cooling liquid and improving the utilization rate of the cooling liquid. The design of the directional channel enhances the contact area and time of the cooling liquid with the internal components of the server, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency and effectively reducing the working temperature of the server. The support part 131 not only plays a role in enclosing the directional channel, but also supports the server, so that the flow guide device realizes closed directional flow only through the weight of the server itself, reducing the additional closed connection. Through the cooperation of the flow equalizing plate 12 and the directional structure 13, it is ensured that the cooling liquid can stably and reliably flow into the server interior. The stable cooling liquid flow path ensures the temperature control of the server during long-time operation, enhancing the overall stability of the system.

[0036] The number and orientation structure of the flow equalizing plate of the cabinet are not specially limited in the present application. In some embodiments, the flow equalizing plate can be a plurality of flow equalizing plates. During the operation of the liquid cooling cabinet, each server corresponds to a flow equalizing plate. If there are servers that are not filled, the flow equalizing plate at the corresponding position is disassembled, or a steel plate is used to block the flow equalizing plate at the corresponding position, so that the cooling liquid cannot flow out of the flow equalizing plate at the position without a server.

[0037] In other embodiments, the flow equalizing plate can be a whole flow equalizing plate, which is matched in size with the entire liquid cooling cabinet. In order to make the flow equalizing plate still have the effect of directional flow guiding, the directional structures are densely filled in the liquid cooling cabinet, and each directional structure is provided with a server, so that the cooling liquid flowing out of the flow equalizing plate is still guided by the directional structures and is affected by the flow resistance of the servers, thereby entering the interior of the servers for cooling.

[0038] As an optional implementation, the liquid cooling cabinet includes a plurality of flow equalizing plates 12 and a plurality of directional structures 13. Through the arrangement of the plurality of flow equalizing plates, the cooling liquid can be uniformly distributed in a larger range, ensuring that each area inside the server can be fully cooled. The problem of local overcooling or overheating caused by a single flow equalizing plate is avoided. The plurality of flow equalizing plates can be flexibly arranged according to the specific layout inside the server, so that the cooling liquid can flow more accurately to the key parts that need to be cooled, enhancing the heat dissipation performance. The number and position of the flow equalizing plates can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of different areas and components inside the server. The cooling needs of different areas can be different. By increasing or adjusting the position and number of the flow equalizing plates, the cooling needs of different areas can be better met, improving the adaptability of the system. The allocation of cooling resources can be optimized according to actual needs to ensure that each key component can obtain sufficient cooling liquid, improving the overall performance of the system. As a preferred embodiment, the directional structure 13 is arranged on each flow equalizing plate 12, that is, the plurality of flow equalizing plates 12 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of directional structures 13.

[0039] The arrangement of the plurality of flow equalizing plates is not specially limited in the present application. As an optional implementation, the plurality of flow equalizing plates 12 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the liquid cooling cabinet. By arranging a plurality of flow equalizing plates at different positions, the cooling liquid can be uniformly distributed in the length range of the entire liquid cooling cabinet, ensuring that each server module can be fully cooled, avoiding the problem of local overcooling or overheating. By dispersing the flow path of the cooling liquid through the plurality of flow equalizing plates, the pressure of a single flow channel is reduced, improving the operating efficiency of the system.

[0040] The opening shape of the flow equalizing plate and the directional structure is not specially limited in the present application, and only needs to match the shape of the server. As a preferred embodiment, the flow equalizing plate is a square flow equalizing hole plate, and the directional structure is enclosed in a square shape by the support portion, matching the shape of the server, so that the server can be embedded in the directional structure to form a directional flow channel with high sealing performance.

[0041] The support part 131 of the directional structure 13 is provided with a wire hole 133 for the transmission line of the server to pass through. Since the directional structure is used to support and fix the server and simultaneously direct the flow of the cooling liquid of the flow uniforming plate around the inside of the server, the wire hole needs to be provided on the support part of the directional structure. The wire hole leads out the transmission line cable of the server, and since the wire hole is filled with the transmission line of the server, the leaked cooling liquid at the position of the wire hole is less, and the directional structure still has a good directional flow effect. In some embodiments, the liquid cooling cabinet further comprises a wire arranging groove 15 arranged on the long side wall of the liquid cooling cabinet. The wire hole 133 of each directional structure corresponds to the direction of the wire arranging groove, so as to facilitate neat layout of the transmission line.

[0042] The application does not make special limitation on how the flow uniforming plate is fixed in the liquid cooling cabinet. For example, it can be welded, bolted and nutted, or connected through a buckle structure. As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 The liquid cooling cabinet further comprises a fixing frame 11 arranged at the top of the liquid inlet pipe 10. The fixing frame 11 has at least one opening. The flow uniforming plate 12 is detachably arranged in the fixing frame 11 and corresponds to the opening. In some embodiments, the flow uniforming plate 12 is connected to the fixing frame 11 by lapping, buckling or inlaying.

[0043] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The flow uniforming plate can further have an inlaying part 122 arranged at the edge, that is, the flow uniforming plate has a stepped shape at the edge. This structure enables the flow uniforming plate to be inlaid in the opening of the fixing frame.

[0044] The application does not make special limitation on how the fixing frame is fixed in the liquid cooling cabinet. For example, it can be welded, bolted and nutted, or connected through a buckle structure. As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 The liquid cooling cabinet further comprises a plurality of angle steels 14 arranged at the bottom of the cabinet body. The fixing frame 11 is welded and fixed with the plurality of angle steels, thereby playing a role of stable support. The flow uniforming plate is fixed in the liquid cooling cabinet through the fixing frame welded with the directional structure.

[0045] The application does not make special limitation on the forming mode of the support part. For example, the support part can be a 3D printed structure formed in one body. For another example, the support part can be composed of a plurality of support plates spliced and enclosed. As a preferred mode, the support part 131 comprises a plurality of connected support plates. The support plates have sufficient support force to be able to carry the server. In order to enable the server to be perfectly embedded in the directional structure, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the surface of the support part is provided with a bolt clamping part 132 for connecting bolts, specifically, the adjacent support plates are fixedly connected by a plurality of bolts, and the bolts increase the tightening force, so that the distance between the opposite support plates becomes smaller, thereby the directional channel is contracted, the server is clamped by the directional structure, avoiding the cooling liquid from flowing out from the gap between the directional structure and the server, more cooling liquid enters the inside of the server, so that the directional flow guiding effect is better.

[0046] As a second aspect of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, an electronic equipment 2 system is disclosed, which comprises a liquid cooling cabinet and at least one electronic equipment 2, the liquid cooling cabinet is the above-mentioned liquid cooling cabinet, and the electronic equipment 2 is arranged in the liquid cooling cabinet and is fixedly embedded in the directional structure 13 by the support part 131, so that the directional channel is blocked by the electronic equipment 2. Since the directional channel is blocked by the electronic equipment 2, the cooling liquid flows out from the flow equalizing hole and directly enters the inside of the electronic equipment 2, reducing the invalid flow path of the cooling liquid, ensuring that the cooling liquid can accurately flow to the inside of the server, the cooling liquid directly flows into the inside of the electronic equipment 2, enhancing the contact area and time of the cooling liquid and the heat generating element, significantly improving the heat dissipation efficiency, effectively reducing the working temperature of the electronic equipment 2, reducing the formation of local hot spots by directly cooling the key heat generating element, further reducing the risk of equipment overheating. The design of the support part 131 enables the flow guiding device to realize the directional flow of the cooling liquid in a limited space while providing the necessary mechanical support, optimizing the space utilization, so that the server does not need to be hung in the liquid cooling cabinet by hooks, increasing the stability.

[0047] The present application does not specially limit the distance between the electronic equipment and the flow equalizing plate, only needs to form a spacing space between the bottom of the electronic equipment 2 and the flow equalizing plate 12, the spacing space enables the cooling liquid to form a uniform flow layer between the flow equalizing plate 12 and the bottom of the electronic equipment 2, ensuring that the cooling liquid can be more uniformly distributed in each area, and the cooling liquid can directly contact the bottom of the electronic equipment 2 when flowing in the spacing space, increasing the directional flow of the cooling liquid; in addition, the spacing space can alleviate the influence of external vibration on the electronic equipment 2 to a certain extent, providing additional mechanical protection, reducing the damage risk caused by vibration, and also facilitating the maintenance and cleaning of the operator, and under a specific spacing distance, the directional flow guiding has the best cooling effect. In addition, the spacing space can also be used to accommodate the transmission lines of the server.

[0048] The above merely illustrates the specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, and the skilled in the art should understand that the present application includes but is not limited to the content described in the drawings and the above specific implementation. Any modification not deviating from the function and structural principle of the present application will be included in the scope of the claims.
