Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a leak-proof tray, more particularly to a leak-proof tray for a liquid-cooled server, and further to a liquid-cooled server cabinet including the leak-proof tray for the liquid-cooled server. Background Technology
[0002] In liquid-cooled servers, the coolant enters directly into the server's interior to exchange heat with heat sources such as the CPU and GPU. The heat exchange plates inside the server are connected by flexible hoses, thus all joints and solder points pose a risk of leakage. Since a liquid-cooled server rack can house multiple servers, a leak in one server can cause the coolant to overflow, affecting the operation of other servers. A leak in the top-level server in the rack could potentially burn out all the servers in the entire rack. Therefore, providing a simple and efficient technical solution to effectively and quickly drain leaks and prevent damage to the liquid-cooled server's operation and lifespan is crucial. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a leak-proof tray for liquid-cooled servers. In the event of a leak in the liquid-cooled server, a simple and efficient optimized structure can effectively and quickly drain the liquid, thus preventing any impact on the server's operation and lifespan. Furthermore, this invention provides a liquid-cooled server cabinet incorporating this leak-proof tray.
[0004] In response, this utility model provides a liquid-cooled server anti-leakage tray, comprising: a first water baffle, a bottom water receiving trough, a second water baffle, and a drain pipe. The first water baffle and the second water baffle are respectively disposed at the first end and the second end of the bottom water receiving trough. The bottom water receiving trough is inclined from both sides towards the middle to form a drainage structure. The drainage structure is inclined from the first end of the bottom water receiving trough to the second end. The drain pipe is disposed at the lowest position of the drainage structure.
[0005] A further improvement of this utility model is that it also includes a third baffle plate and a fourth baffle plate, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the bottom water receiving trough.
[0006] A further improvement of this utility model is that the height of the first water baffle is lower than the height of the second, third and fourth water baffles.
[0007] A further improvement of this utility model is that it also includes a first liquid inlet / outlet structure, which is disposed on the second baffle plate and includes an inlet / outlet water pipe hole.
[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that it also includes a bottom bending end, which is disposed at the bottom of the first end and the second end of the bottom water receiving tank and is bent inwards respectively.
[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that it also includes a server mounting rail, which is disposed on the bottom water receiving tank and extends along the direction from the first baffle to the second baffle.
[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that the server mounting rail is located on the side of the bottom water receiving tank near the third water baffle.
[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that it also includes a wire passage hole, which is disposed on the second water baffle plate.
[0012] A further improvement of this utility model is that the bottom water receiving trough is inclined from both sides to the middle with a first inclination slope, and the drainage structure is inclined from the first end to the second end of the bottom water receiving trough with a second inclination slope, wherein the second inclination slope is greater than the first inclination slope.
[0013] This utility model also provides a liquid-cooled server cabinet, including the liquid-cooled server anti-leakage tray as described above, as well as the cabinet body, the second liquid inlet / outlet structure and the water collection tray.

A first baffle and a second baffle are respectively set at the first and second ends of the bottom water receiving trough of the liquid-cooled server anti-leakage tray. The bottom water receiving trough is inclined from both sides towards the middle to form a drainage structure. The drainage structure is inclined from the first end of the bottom water receiving trough to the second end. The drain pipe is set at the lowest position of the drainage structure.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a liquid-cooled server anti-leakage tray, including: a first water baffle 1, a bottom water receiving trough 2, a second water baffle 4, and a drain pipe 5. The first water baffle 1 and the second water baffle 4 are respectively disposed at the first end and the second end of the bottom water receiving trough 2. The bottom water receiving trough 2 is inclined from both sides towards the middle to form a drainage structure 201. The drainage structure 201 is inclined from the first end to the second end of the bottom water receiving trough 2. The drain pipe 5 is disposed at the lowest position of the drainage structure 201.
[0023] In this embodiment, the first baffle plate 1 and the second baffle plate 4 refer to the baffle structures disposed at the first and second ends (e.g., the front and rear ends) of the bottom water receiving trough 2. The bottom water receiving trough 2 refers to the bottom structure of the liquid-cooled server anti-leakage tray. This bottom structure adopts a design with two inclined structures in different directions. Specifically, the bottom water receiving trough 2 is inclined from both sides towards the middle to form a drainage structure 201. This drainage structure 201 is used to enable the liquid dripping from both sides to quickly flow into the drainage structure 201 in the middle. However, if only the inclination from both sides towards the middle is set, it cannot effectively achieve the effect of rapid drainage of liquid from the liquid-cooled server anti-leakage tray. Therefore, the drainage structure 201 is inclined from the first end of the bottom water receiving trough 2 towards the second end to achieve an inclined design in another direction. It is inclined to connect to the drain pipe 5, ensuring that the drain pipe 5 is set at the lowest position of the drainage structure 201. Therefore, this embodiment adopts a tilted structure design in two different directions, which not only allows for the rapid collection and convergence of any leakage from the liquid-cooled server, but also enables it to be quickly discharged from the liquid-cooled server's anti-leakage tray.
[0024] Preferred, such as Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also includes a first liquid inlet / outlet structure 3, which is disposed on the second baffle plate 4, and the first liquid inlet / outlet structure 3 includes inlet / outlet water pipe holes.
[0025] In summary, this embodiment provides a liquid-cooled server leak-proof tray and liquid-cooled server cabinet with optimized structural design. A first baffle plate 1 and a second baffle plate 4 are respectively installed at the first and second ends of the bottom water receiving trough 2 of the liquid-cooled server leak-proof tray. The bottom water receiving trough 2 slopes from both sides towards the middle, forming a drainage structure 201. The drainage structure 201 slopes from the first end of the bottom water receiving trough 2 towards the second end, and the drain pipe 5 is located at the lowest position of the drainage structure 201. Therefore, when liquid leakage occurs in the liquid-cooled server, the liquid can be effectively and quickly drained by the liquid-cooled server leak-proof tray with its two-way tilting design, thus avoiding impact on the operation and lifespan of the liquid-cooled server. The overall structure is simple, efficient, and easy to implement.
[0026] This embodiment also includes a third baffle plate 6 and a fourth baffle plate 7, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the bottom water receiving trough 2, such as the left and right sides, to prevent liquid from flowing out from any possible angle and to allow it to be discharged only through the drain pipe 5. Of course, in practical applications, the first baffle plate 1, the second baffle plate 4, the third baffle plate 6, and the fourth baffle plate 7 can be made into an integral structure with the bottom water receiving trough 2 for easy processing and practical application. Optionally, the third baffle plate 6 and the fourth baffle plate 7 can also be provided with strip-shaped mounting holes 14 to facilitate installation and position adjustment.
[0027] Optional, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the height of the first baffle plate 1 is lower than the height of the second baffle plate 4, the third baffle plate 6 and the fourth baffle plate 7. That is to say, by increasing the height of the baffles on the side and in the direction close to the drain pipe 5, the reliability of liquid discharge can be more effectively guaranteed, and the problem of liquid overflowing from other positions / directions during rapid discharge can be avoided.
[0028] Optional, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also includes a bottom bending end 8, which is disposed at the bottom of the first end and the second end of the bottom water receiving tank 2 and bent inwards respectively, so that the liquid-cooled server anti-leakage tray can be snapped together at its bottom, which facilitates the quick assembly and subsequent maintenance of the product.
[0029] Optional, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also includes a server mounting rail 9, which is disposed on the bottom water receiving tank 2 and extends along the direction from the first baffle 1 to the second baffle 4, facilitating the rapid assembly of the liquid-cooled server via the server mounting rail 9. In this embodiment, the server mounting rail 9 is disposed on the side of the bottom water receiving tank 2 near the third baffle 6, making more rational use of the limited space, minimizing impact on the operation of the liquid-cooled server, and ensuring efficient leakage discharge.
[0030] Optional, such as Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also includes a wire passage hole 10, which is disposed on the second baffle plate 4 to make reasonable use of the space on the second baffle plate 4, so as to realize the connection, fixation and organization of wires, and improve the user-friendly design of the product. The wire passage hole 10 is preferably offset from the position of the first liquid inlet / outlet structure 3, which is more conducive to assembly and also plays a certain role in preventing mistakes.
[0031] Optionally, in this embodiment, the bottom water receiving trough 2 is inclined at a first slope from both sides towards the middle, and the drainage structure 201 is inclined at a second slope from the first end to the second end of the bottom water receiving trough 2, the second slope being greater than the first slope. That is, the inclination angle of the drainage structure 201 from the first end to the second end of the bottom water receiving trough 2 is greater than the inclination angle of the bottom water receiving trough 2 from both sides towards the middle. This design can more effectively prevent the liquid flowing into the drainage structure 201 from stagnating. Through the difference in inclination angles, rapid and efficient drainage of the liquid after convergence is achieved.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment also provides a liquid-cooled server rack, including the liquid-cooled server anti-leakage tray as described above, as well as the rack body 11, the second liquid inlet / outlet structure 12, and the water collection tray 13. The liquid-cooled server anti-leakage tray is placed below the liquid-cooled server on the rack body 11 and is connected to the second liquid inlet / outlet structure 12. For example, the liquid-cooled server anti-leakage tray is connected to the second liquid inlet / outlet structure 12 through the first liquid inlet / outlet structure 3 on the second baffle 4. The first liquid inlet / outlet structure 3 preferably adopts an inlet / outlet water pipe hole, while the second liquid inlet / outlet structure 12 preferably adopts an inlet / outlet water hose that matches the inlet / outlet water pipe hole. The water collection tray 13 is set at the bottom of the rack body 11, and the drain outlet of the drain pipe 5 corresponds to the position of the water collection tray 13 so as to discharge liquid to the water collection tray 13.

The scope of this utility model includes, but is not limited to, these specific embodiments. All equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape and structure of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
