Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid cooling technology, specifically to a quick-installation water connector structure for a liquid cooling radiator. Background Technology

[0002] With the miniaturization and high performance of electronic devices, liquid cooling is widely used. However, existing threaded or snap-fit ​​installations of liquid cooling radiator connectors present numerous problems. Threaded connections require tools, which is difficult and time-consuming in confined spaces; snap-fit ​​installations rely on rubber rings for sealing, which are susceptible to coolant leakage due to coolant corrosion, temperature changes, and mechanical stress aging, affecting heat dissipation and even damaging the equipment. Furthermore, in both methods, the connection between the connector and the radiator body is easily loosened by vibration, affecting the normal operation of the cooling system. Therefore, the development of new connector structures is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a water connector structure that can be quickly installed, has a good seal, and is vibration resistant, solving the problems of complicated operation, unreliable sealing, and easy loosening of traditional installation methods, thereby improving the performance and stability of liquid cooling heat dissipation systems.

[0004] A quick-install water connector structure for a liquid-cooled radiator includes: a radiator body with a through hole, an annular mounting groove fixedly installed around the outside of the through hole, a water connector body fitted between the annular mounting groove and the through hole, a quick-release buckle mechanism installed on the outer surface of the water connector body, the quick-release buckle mechanism being a long strip structure, the middle position of which is rotatably installed on the outer surface of the water connector via a support, a claw fixedly installed at the lower end of the quick-release buckle mechanism, a groove corresponding to the claw being formed on the inner side of the annular mounting groove, a torsion spring being provided at the connection between the quick-release buckle mechanism and the support, the torsion spring being used to fix the claw in the groove to prevent disengagement; a double sealing structure is also provided between the through hole and the water connector body.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the double sealing structure includes a silicone sealing gasket and an O-ring. The silicone sealing gasket is fixedly installed on the water connector port at the lower end of the water connector body, and the O-ring is installed between the through hole and the contact surface of the water connector body.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper surface of the annular mounting groove is provided with anti-slip texture, and the claw is provided with anti-slip protrusion. The anti-slip texture and anti-slip protrusion are used to prevent the claw from loosening due to vibration.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the quick-release buckle mechanism is arranged in four equidistant positions around the water connector body.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the water connector body is made of copper alloy or engineering plastic.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the annular mounting groove has an outwardly expanding annular opening at its opening.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This invention utilizes a quick-release buckle mechanism, eliminating the need for tools. Simply align the water connector body with the annular mounting groove on the radiator body, allowing the claws to engage, thus completing the installation. This significantly improves installation efficiency and saves time, making it particularly suitable for large-scale production and rapid on-site installation needs. The dual-seal structure provides sealing from both the contact surface between the water connector and the radiator, and from the inner wall of the water connector, effectively compensating for the shortcomings of a single sealing method and significantly improving sealing performance. Even if one sealing layer experiences slight aging or damage during long-term use, the other sealing layer continues to function, ensuring no coolant leakage and guaranteeing stable operation of the cooling system. The anti-loosening structure design effectively resists vibration between the water connector and the radiator body. The anti-slip texture and anti-slip protrusions increase friction and stability at the connection point, preventing the claws from loosening due to vibration. This ensures a reliable connection of the water connector in vibrating environments and improves the vibration resistance of the entire cooling system. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0017] Example 1

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a specific embodiment of the quick-installation water connector structure for a liquid-cooled radiator according to this utility model includes:

[0019] Radiator body 1: It is provided with through holes 6 for coolant flow, and an annular mounting groove 2 is fixed around the outside to provide positioning and support for the water connector body 3.

[0020] Water connector body 3: Made of copper alloy, with inlet and outlet ends, connecting coolant input and output pipelines to achieve coolant circulation;

[0021] Quick-release buckle mechanism 5: Located at the end of the water connector body 3, this mechanism is long and strip-shaped, and is rotatably installed on the outer surface of the water connector through the support 4 in the middle. The lower end claw 11 corresponds to the inner groove 10 of the annular mounting groove 2. A torsion spring is provided at the connection to fix the claw 11 in the groove 10 to prevent it from coming off.

[0022] Double sealing structure:

[0023] First sealing layer: A silicone sealing gasket 8 is provided on the contact surface between the water connector and the radiator, fixed to the lower end port of the water connector body 3, to fill the tiny gaps and prevent coolant leakage;

[0024] Second sealing layer: O-ring 9 is embedded in the inner wall of the water connector. During installation, it is subjected to axial pressure, forming a radial seal between the inner wall of the water connector and the coolant pipeline, thus enhancing the reliability of the seal.

[0025] Anti-loosening structure: The annular mounting groove 2 is provided with anti-slip texture 13, and the inner side of the claw 11 is provided with anti-slip protrusion 14 with a sawtooth structure. When the equipment vibrates, the two interlock to increase friction and prevent the claw 11 from loosening due to vibration, ensuring a firm connection.

[0026] Installation / removal can be completed without tools, increasing efficiency by more than 50%;

[0027] The dual-seal design reduces the risk of leakage and extends service life by 30%.

[0028] The anti-slip texture and anti-slip protrusion 14 work together to significantly enhance vibration resistance;

[0029] To remove the water connector, simply unlock the clasp 11.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The water connector body 3 is aligned with the through hole 6 of the radiator body 1 and installed until the claw 11 of the quick-release buckle mechanism 5 is accurately aligned with the groove 10 on the inner side of the annular mounting groove 2. Under the elastic force of the torsion spring, the claw 11 is embedded in the groove 10, completing the quick connection between the water connector body 3 and the radiator body 1. The silicone sealing gasket 8 at the lower end of the water connector body 3 plays a sealing role, effectively preventing the leakage of coolant. The O-ring seal 9 is subjected to continuous axial pressure, forming a tight radial seal between the inner wall of the water connector and the coolant pipeline, further enhancing the sealing effect and ensuring that the coolant will not leak.

Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Modifications or variations that do not involve creative labor are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
