Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of liquid-cooled cabinet technology, and specifically to a display liquid-cooled cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid-cooled server racks are a cooling solution used in data centers, server rooms, or other high-performance computing environments. They utilize liquid (typically water or a special coolant) instead of traditional air cooling to achieve more efficient heat dissipation and ensure stable operating temperatures for equipment under high loads. Furthermore, liquid cooling...

[0003] In practical applications, liquid cooling technology is more complex than traditional air cooling technology, requiring specialized design and maintenance knowledge. Display liquid-cooled cabinets are typically designed as sealed and enclosed environments to reduce the risk of coolant evaporation, leakage, and air pollution. Unlike traditional open air-cooled cabinets, it is often difficult to directly observe the indicator lights, screens, and display panels of the equipment inside a display liquid-cooled cabinet, especially when the equipment to be cooled is placed inside the coolant container. To monitor the operating status of the equipment, external sensors (such as temperature probes and liquid flow sensors) are often required, thus increasing the overall cost of the display liquid-cooled cabinet.

[0004] Therefore, how to monitor the operating status of the equipment to be cooled while reducing the cost of displaying liquid-cooled cabinets is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention aims to address, to a certain extent, one of the technical problems in related technologies. To this end, this invention provides a liquid-cooled cabinet for display, which has the advantage of facilitating observation of the cabinet's internal structure and operational status.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A display cabinet for liquid-cooled equipment includes a frame; a display structure including a transparent inner liner disposed inside the frame, the interior of the transparent inner liner serving as a receiving space for accommodating a cooling medium and equipment to be cooled, at least a portion of the transparent inner liner being exposed through the frame; and a heat dissipation structure disposed inside the frame for dissipating heat from the cooling medium. By placing the equipment to be cooled within the transparent inner liner and exposing at least a portion of the transparent inner liner to the frame, users do not need to disassemble the device to observe and inspect its operating status, reducing maintenance difficulty and improving ease of use.

[0008] Optionally, the frame includes several side panels and several support rods. The edges of the side panels are connected to form a cuboid structure, the interior of which is used to accommodate the display structure and the heat dissipation structure. The support rods are fixed to the edges of adjacent side panels, and the support rods are fixed to the adjacent side panels. The support rods fix the adjacent side panels to improve the fixing effect between the side panels and improve the structural stability.

[0009] Optionally, the display structure further includes a transparent protrusion disposed on the outer surface of the transparent inner liner. An inner liner window is provided on the side panel opposite the transparent protrusion, extending through the side panel along its thickness direction. The shape of the transparent protrusion matches the shape of the inner liner window, and the transparent protrusion is snapped into and fixed to the inner liner window. The transparent protrusion is fixed to the inner liner window and is not covered by the frame, thus forming a transparent window that allows direct viewing of the internal condition of the equipment from the outside, improving the convenience of checking its operating status.

[0010] Optionally, the display structure also includes a light source, which is disposed on the transparent inner liner. The light source can provide illumination for the equipment to be cooled inside the transparent inner liner, facilitating observation.

[0011] Optionally, the light source includes a raised strip and a light strip. The raised strip is disposed on the outer surface of the inner liner, and a groove is provided on the raised strip. The light strip is embedded in the groove, and a light-emitting hole is formed on the raised strip so that light can be emitted through the light-emitting hole. The light source provides illumination in the form of a light strip, which is convenient for installation and replacement and reduces maintenance costs.

[0012] Optionally, the transparent inner liner has several through holes; the heat dissipation structure includes a circulation pump and pipes, the pipes being connected to the circulation pump and connected to the receiving space through the through holes. The pipes are filled with a cooling medium, which flows between the receiving space and the circulation pump, carrying heat from the equipment to be cooled out of the receiving space and reducing the heat inside the receiving space.

[0013] Optionally, the plurality of through holes include a first through hole, a second through hole, a third through hole, and a fourth through hole; the pipe includes a maintenance pipe and a heat dissipation pipe; the first and second through holes are used to accommodate the heat dissipation pipe, which is connected to the circulation pump and the receiving space, respectively; the third and fourth through holes are used to accommodate the maintenance pipe, one end of which communicates with the receiving space, and the side plate is provided with an opening that matches the maintenance pipe, the other end of which is connected to the opening. The heat dissipation pipe is used to lead the cooling medium inside the receiving space to the part in contact with the air for heat dissipation, wherein the driving of the cooling medium is realized by the circulation pump; the maintenance pipe is used to replenish and export the cooling medium during maintenance.

[0014] Optionally, the heat dissipation structure further includes a fan and a heat dissipation grid. The heat dissipation grid is disposed on one of the side plates, and the fan is disposed between the heat dissipation grid and the transparent inner liner, with the fan facing away from the transparent inner liner. The fan and heat dissipation grid are used to cool the pipes, accelerate the heat dissipation of the cooling medium inside the pipes near the fan and heat dissipation grid, and improve heat dissipation efficiency.

[0015] Optionally, the display structure further includes a display panel, with a display window on the frame, and the display panel snap-fitted into the display window.

The host unit drives the display panel and provides it with power. Furthermore, placing the host unit near the fan improves its heat dissipation, prevents overheating, and enhances the reliability of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention.

[0022] The terms "an embodiment," "example," or "trademark" used in this specification refer to a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment itself that may be included in at least one embodiment disclosed in this invention. The phrase "in an embodiment" appearing in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0023] Example:

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides a display liquid-cooled cabinet, including a frame 10, a display structure 20, and a heat dissipation structure 30. The display structure 20 and the heat dissipation structure 30 are disposed on the frame 10, and the operating status of the display liquid-cooled cabinet can be directly observed through the display structure 20 during use.

[0025] In this embodiment, the display structure 20 includes a transparent inner liner 200, the interior of which is a receiving space 210 for accommodating the cooling medium and the equipment to be cooled. At least a portion of the transparent inner liner 200 can be exposed through the frame 10. This design eliminates the need for users to disassemble the device to observe and inspect its operating status. Users can directly observe and inspect the equipment to be cooled through the portion of the transparent inner liner 200 exposed to the frame 10, reducing maintenance difficulty and improving ease of use.

[0026] Specifically, the display structure 20 further includes a transparent protrusion 220, which is disposed on the outer surface of the transparent inner liner 200. An inner liner window 230 is provided on the side plate 100 opposite to the transparent protrusion 220, and the inner liner window 230 penetrates the side plate 100 along its thickness direction. This design allows users to observe and inspect the equipment's operating status without disassembling the device. Users can directly observe and inspect the cooling equipment through the portion of the transparent inner liner 200 exposed to the frame 10, reducing maintenance difficulty and improving ease of use. Furthermore, since the transparent protrusion 220 covers the portion of the transparent inner liner 200 not covered by the frame 10, the service life of the transparent inner liner 200 is extended, reducing operating costs.

[0027] In this embodiment, the shape of the transparent protrusion 220 matches the shape of the inner window 230, and the transparent protrusion 220 is snapped and fixed to the inner window 230. This configuration creates a transparent window that allows direct external viewing of the device's internal condition, improving the convenience of checking its operational status.

[0028] In addition, the display structure 20 also includes a light source 240, which is disposed on the transparent inner liner 200. The light source 240 includes a raised strip 241 and a light strip. The raised strip 241 is disposed on the outer surface of the inner liner, and a groove 242 is provided on the raised strip 241. The light strip is embedded in the groove 242, and a light-emitting hole 243 is formed on the raised strip 241 to allow light to be emitted through the light-emitting hole 243. Through the above arrangement, the light source 240 provides illumination in the form of a light strip, facilitating installation and replacement and reducing maintenance costs. The light source 240 can provide illumination for the equipment to be cooled inside the transparent inner liner 200, facilitating observation. In this embodiment, the light source 240 is disposed on the outer surface of the transparent inner liner 200 away from the inner liner window 230, increasing the brightness of the distant portion of the accommodating space 210 relative to the observation direction to improve visibility during observation.

[0029] In this embodiment, the frame 10 includes a plurality of side plates 100 and a plurality of support rods 110. The edges of the side plates 100 are connected to each other to form a cuboid structure, the interior of which is used to accommodate the display structure 20 and the heat dissipation structure 30. The support rods 110 are fixed to the edges of adjacent side plates 100, and the support rods 110 are fixed to the adjacent side plates 100. The support rods 110 fix the adjacent side plates 100 to improve the fixing effect between the side plates 100 and improve the structural stability.

[0030] The heat dissipation structure 30 is used to dissipate heat from the cooling medium. Further, the transparent inner liner 200 is provided with several through holes 250. The through holes 250 are used to exchange the cooling medium between the receiving space 210 and the outside environment, maintaining heat dissipation of the liquid to be cooled within the receiving space 210 by replacing it with a lower-temperature cooling medium. The heat dissipation structure 30 includes a circulation pump 300 and a pipe 310. The pipe 310 is connected to the circulation pump 300 and is connected to the receiving space 210 through the through holes 250. The pipe 310 is filled with a cooling medium, which flows between the receiving space 210 and the circulation pump 300, carrying heat from the equipment to be cooled out of the receiving space 210 and reducing the heat inside the receiving space 210.

[0031] In this embodiment, the plurality of through holes 250 include a first through hole 251, a second through hole 252, a third through hole 253, and a fourth through hole 254. The pipe 310 includes a maintenance pipe 311 and a heat dissipation pipe 312. The first through hole 251 and the second through hole 252 are used to accommodate the heat dissipation pipe 312, which is connected to the circulation pump 300 and the receiving space 210, respectively. With the above arrangement, the heat dissipation pipe 312 leads the cooling medium inside the receiving space 210 to the part in contact with the air for heat dissipation, wherein the circulation pump 300 drives the cooling medium. The third through hole 253 and the fourth through hole 254 are used to accommodate the maintenance pipe 311, one end of which is connected to the receiving space 210, and the side plate 100 is provided with an opening that matches the maintenance pipe 311. The other end of the maintenance pipe 311 is connected to the opening. The maintenance pipe 311 is used to replenish and discharge the cooling medium during maintenance.

[0032] The heat dissipation structure 30 further includes a fan 320 and a heat dissipation grid 330. The heat dissipation grid 330 is disposed on a side plate 100, and the fan 320 is disposed between the heat dissipation grid 330 and the transparent inner liner 200, with the fan 320 facing away from the transparent inner liner 200. The fan 320 and the heat dissipation grid 330 are used to cool the pipe 310, accelerating the heat dissipation of the cooling medium inside the pipe 310 near the fan 320 and the heat dissipation grid 330, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency. In this embodiment, the heat dissipation grid 330 has heat dissipation grooves inside, which are connected to the heat dissipation pipe 312. Through the above arrangement, the cooling medium can obtain better heat dissipation efficiency when passing through the heat dissipation grid 330, improving the cooling efficiency of the equipment to be cooled.

[0033] The display structure 20 also includes a display panel 260, with a display window on the frame, and the display panel 260 snap-fitted into the display window. The display panel 260 is used to display the operating status of the equipment to be cooled and the status data within the accommodating space 210, improving visibility and convenience.

[0034] The display structure 20 also includes a host 270, which drives the display panel 260. The host 270 is disposed inside the frame 10, near the fan 320. The host 270 drives the display panel 260, providing it with power. Furthermore, placing the host 270 near the fan 320 improves its heat dissipation, prevents overheating, and enhances the reliability of the device.

[0035] In practical use, the equipment to be cooled within the housing space 210 is immersed in a cooling medium, which is a non-conductive component and fills the housing space 210 completely. Users can observe the transparent inner liner 200 through the transparent protrusion 220 on the frame 10. Simultaneously, because the transparent inner liner 200 is transparent, the equipment to be cooled can also be directly observed, enabling the inspection of the equipment's operating status without disassembly, thus improving the convenience of inspection.

[0036] During normal operation, the circulating pump 300 pumps the cooling medium out of the receiving space 210 through the heat dissipation pipe 312 connected to the first through hole 251, and then pumps it into the heat dissipation slots within the heat dissipation grid 330. As the cooling medium flows within the heat dissipation slots, its heat is carried away by the airflow blown by the fan 320, causing its temperature to drop. The cooler cooling medium flows out of the heat dissipation slots and back into the receiving space 210 through the heat dissipation pipe 312 connected to the second through hole 252, continuing to cool the equipment to be cooled. When the liquid-cooled cabinet requires internal replacement or maintenance, the cooling medium in the receiving space 210 and the heat dissipation pipe 312 is pumped out through the maintenance pipe 311 connected to the third through hole 253. After the replacement is completed, the cooling medium is injected through the maintenance pipe 311 connected to the fourth through hole 254, completing the maintenance.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention includes, but is not limited to, the contents described in the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments above.
