Such a decentralized layout not only increases the floor area of the system, but also makes the installation and maintenance of the system cumbersome and complex. In addition, a large number of connecting pipelines and joints also increase the leakage risk and maintenance cost of the system. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0034] Example 1
[0035] The embodiment of the present application discloses an integrated cold source of a water cooling system. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The integrated cold source of the water cooling system comprises a rack 1, which serves as a support structure of the entire integrated cold source. The rack 1 is provided with a radiator 2 and a water tank 3. The radiator 2 is used for radiating the cooling liquid, and the water tank 3 is provided with a water inlet 31 and a water outlet 32.
[0036] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The radiator 2 comprises a first pipeline 21 and a second pipeline 22. The first pipeline 21 is provided with two chambers 27, and the two chambers 27 are respectively provided with a liquid inlet 25 and a liquid outlet 26. The two chambers 27 of the first pipeline 21 are connected with the second pipeline 22 through a plurality of branch pipes 23, so as to form a cooling liquid return channel. The liquid inlet 25 of the radiator 2 is used for connecting one end of a water cooling pipeline, the liquid outlet 26 of the radiator 2 is used for connecting the water inlet 31 of the water tank 3, and the water outlet 32 of the water tank 3 is connected with the other end of the water cooling pipeline through a water pump 11. In order to enhance the heat dissipation effect, a plurality of fans 12 are respectively installed on the first pipeline 21 and the second pipeline 22, which are used for accelerating the flow of air and improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0037] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 In order to improve the heat dissipation effect of the cooling liquid in the branch pipe 23, in the embodiment of the present application, the cross section of the branch pipe 23 is flat, so that the branch pipe 23 is in the shape of a rectangular plate. A plurality of branch pipes 23 are uniformly arranged along the thickness direction, and the gap between adjacent branch pipes 23 is referred to as a heat dissipation gap. The fan 12 drives the airflow to pass through the heat dissipation gap between the branch pipes 23, and the heat is taken away through heat transfer, so as to achieve the heat dissipation effect.
[0038] Each branch pipe 23 is provided with a plurality of flow channels 24 for connecting the first pipe 21 and the second pipe 22, the plurality of flow channels 24 on the same branch pipe 23 are arranged uniformly along the width direction of the branch pipe 23, and the outer wall of each flow channel 24 is arranged towards the heat dissipation gap, so that the airflow passing through the heat dissipation gap between the branch pipes 23 can take away the temperature of the cooling liquid in each flow channel 24, further improving the heat dissipation effect.
[0039] In order to facilitate the user to replace or supplement the cooling liquid, the water tank 3 is provided with a water inlet 33 and a water outlet 34, and an electromagnetic valve is installed respectively to realize accurate control of the cooling liquid.
[0040] As Figure 3 , in order to realize monitoring of the cooling liquid flow, the embodiment installs a flow sensor 4 on the pipe between the water outlet 32 of the water tank 3 and the water pump 11. At the same time, a temperature sensor 41 and a pressure sensor 42 are installed on the pipe between the water pump 11 and the water cooling pipe to monitor the temperature and pressure of the cooling liquid in real time.
[0041] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in order to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency, the application sets a wave-shaped heat dissipation fin 5 between adjacent branch pipes 23. The heat dissipation fin 5 is bent and closely abuts the outer wall of the adjacent two branch pipes 23, thereby increasing the heat dissipation area. The heat dissipation fin 5 is made of elastic metal material and has good heat conductivity and elasticity. In the embodiment of the application, the heat dissipation fin 5 is made of copper alloy material which has better heat conductivity. When the heat dissipation fin 5 is installed between the adjacent two branch pipes 23, the heat dissipation fin 5 is in a compressed state and abuts against the side wall of the adjacent branch pipe 23 under the action of elastic force, thereby realizing the position fixation of the heat dissipation fin 5 between the adjacent two branch pipes 23.
[0042] Embodiment 2
[0043] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the rest of the embodiments of the application are the same as embodiment 1, and the difference is that the heat dissipation fin 5 is provided with a groove 51 on the side facing the branch pipe 23, and the side wall of the branch pipe 23 is provided with a convex rib 52 matched with the groove 51, so as to further fix the heat dissipation fin 5 and improve the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0044] In addition, a spring buckle 53 is also arranged between the adjacent branch pipes 23 for firmly fixing the heat dissipation fin 5 on the branch pipe 23. The spring buckle 53 is provided with two legs 54 which tend to move away from each other under the action of elastic force, so as to tightly abut the heat dissipation fin 5 on the corresponding branch pipe 23. In order to prevent the heat dissipation fin 5 from loosening or falling off during long-term use, the side opposite to the two legs 54 is provided with an anti-skid pad.
[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application, so that: all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
