Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid cooling connector technology, and in particular to an intelligent flow regulation device for a liquid cooling connector. Background Technology

[0002] The intelligent flow regulating device for liquid cooling joints is a device used in liquid cooling systems to control the flow rate and temperature of liquid in the system to ensure stable operation.

[0003] Liquid cooling technology is widely used in data centers, power electronic equipment, new energy vehicles, and other fields, achieving efficient heat dissipation through liquid circulation. However, traditional liquid cooling connectors often employ fixed flow designs or manually adjustable valves, which present the following problems:

[0004] 1) Lagging flow regulation: The flow rate cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the real-time temperature, resulting in insufficient heat dissipation or energy waste;

[0005] 2) Reliance on manual intervention: The valve body needs to be manually adjusted, which is difficult to adapt to complex operating conditions. Therefore, we propose an intelligent flow regulation device for liquid-cooled connectors. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art mentioned above, the inventors conducted in-depth research and, after a great deal of creative work, completed this utility model.

[0007] Specifically, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an intelligent flow regulation device for a liquid cooling connector, so as to solve the current technical problems of flow regulation lag and reliance on manual intervention.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A smart flow regulating device for a liquid cooling connector includes a liquid cooling connector body, wherein a coolant flow channel is provided inside the liquid cooling connector body, one end of the coolant flow channel is a flow channel inlet, and the other end of the coolant flow channel is a flow channel outlet;

[0010] A temperature sensor group is provided at the inlet and outlet of the flow channel, and the temperature sensor group is used to monitor the coolant temperature in real time.

[0011] A flow regulating valve is integrated in the middle of the coolant flow channel. The flow regulating valve includes a mounting bracket, a stepper motor mounted on the mounting bracket, and a needle valve driven by the stepper motor.

[0012] A flow controller is mounted on the mounting bracket and is electrically connected to the temperature sensor group and the stepper motor. The flow controller dynamically calculates the target flow rate and adjusts the needle valve opening based on the temperature difference.

[0013] A data interface is located on the flow controller and is used to communicate with external systems.

[0014] As an improved technical solution, the temperature sensor group is a high-precision thermocouple sensor or fiber optic temperature sensor, and the sampling frequency is ≥10Hz.

[0015] As an improved technical solution, the needle valve of the flow regulating valve is coated with a corrosion-resistant coating, and a sealing ring is provided between the flow regulating valve and the coolant flow channel.

[0016] As an improved technical solution, the flow controller is a dedicated flow control IC with a built-in PID algorithm, which can adjust the flow rate in advance based on historical temperature rise trends.

[0017] As an improved technical solution, the data interface supports RS485, CAN bus or wireless transmission protocols, and can report flow rate, temperature and fault codes.

[0018] As an improved technical solution, a pressure sensor is also included. The pressure sensor is disposed in the coolant flow channel and is electrically connected to the flow controller. The pressure sensor is used to monitor the pressure difference and feed it back to the flow controller for leakage early warning.

[0019] As an improved technical solution, the flow controller integrates a low-power mode, which can shut off the power supply to the stepper motor when the temperature difference is below a threshold.

[0020] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. This utility model uses a set of temperature sensors on the inlet and outlet of the flow channel to monitor the temperature difference in real time. Combined with the PID algorithm of the flow controller, the opening of the needle valve can be dynamically adjusted to achieve a precise match between flow rate and heat dissipation requirements.

[0022] 2. This utility model, by employing a high-precision thermocouple or fiber optic temperature sensor (sampling frequency ≥10Hz) and in conjunction with a needle valve driven by a stepper motor, can effectively suppress temperature fluctuations.

[0023] 3. The corrosion-resistant coating and sealing ring design on the surface of the needle valve in this utility model can reduce the risk of fluid erosion and leakage, while extending service life and improving reliability.

[0024] 4. This utility model, by setting a data interface that supports RS485, CAN bus and wireless transmission protocols, can be connected to an intelligent temperature control network to remotely monitor flow, temperature and operating status, realize multi-node collaborative control, and reduce manual inspection costs.

Temperature sensor group 2 is a high-precision thermocouple sensor or fiber optic temperature sensor with a sampling frequency ≥10Hz. The use of high-precision thermocouple or fiber optic temperature sensor (sampling frequency ≥10Hz) ensures millisecond-level temperature feedback. In application, the temperature difference is monitored in real time by temperature sensor group 2 at the inlet 101 and outlet 102 of the flow channel. Combined with the PID algorithm of the flow controller 4, the needle valve opening can be dynamically adjusted to achieve accurate matching between flow rate and heat dissipation requirements. This can avoid insufficient heat dissipation or energy waste caused by traditional fixed flow rate.

The needle valve of the flow regulating valve 3 is coated with a corrosion-resistant coating. A sealing ring is provided between the flow regulating valve 3 and the coolant flow channel. The corrosion-resistant coating on the surface of the needle valve and the sealing ring design can reduce the risk of fluid erosion and leakage, while extending the service life and improving reliability. In application, the temperature sensor group 2, together with the needle valve driven by the stepper motor, can effectively suppress temperature fluctuations.

[0038] The flow controller 4 is mounted on a fixed frame and is electrically connected to the temperature sensor group 2 and the stepper motor. The flow controller 4 dynamically calculates the target flow rate and adjusts the needle valve opening based on the temperature difference. The flow controller 4 is a dedicated flow control IC with a built-in PID algorithm, which can adjust the flow rate in advance based on historical temperature rise trends. At the same time, it can reduce power consumption through hardware-level optimization. The flow controller 4 integrates a low-power mode, which can turn off the power supply to the stepper motor when the temperature difference is below the threshold.

[0039] Data interface 5 is located on the flow controller 4. Data interface 5 is used to communicate with external systems. Data interface 5 supports RS485, CAN bus or wireless transmission protocols and can report flow, temperature and fault codes. In application, data interface 5 can be connected to the intelligent temperature control network to remotely monitor flow, temperature and operating status, realize multi-node collaborative control and reduce manual inspection costs.

[0040] Reference Figures 1-3 It also includes a pressure sensor, which is located in the coolant flow channel and is electrically connected to the flow controller 4. The pressure sensor is used to monitor the pressure difference and feed it back to the flow controller 4 for leakage warning. In application, the pressure sensor monitors the flow channel pressure difference in real time and can trigger an early warning when it is abnormal. At the same time, it can actively push alarm information through the data interface 5 to improve safety.
