Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid cooling technology, and in particular to a spray-type liquid cooling cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] The rapid development of microelectronic chip technology and the trend of miniaturization and integration of electronic components have led to a continuous increase in chip assembly density and heat flux density of components and equipment servers. If reasonable heat dissipation control technology is not adopted, it will seriously affect the performance and lifespan of electronic components.

[0003] Currently, the most efficient heat dissipation method is liquid cooling. However, existing immersion liquid-cooled cabinets accumulate a large amount of coolant, which increases the cost of coolant to some extent. At the same time, the weight of the coolant makes installation inconvenient.

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a spray-type liquid-cooled cabinet needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a spray-type liquid-cooled cabinet.

[0006] A spray-type liquid-cooled cabinet includes a cabinet, a top cover hinged to the cabinet, a liquid distributor disposed inside the cabinet, several servers, and an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe extending from the inside of the cabinet to the outside. The inlet pipe is located near the top of the cabinet, and the outlet pipe is located near the bottom of the cabinet. The inlet pipe is connected to a liquid supply pipeline. The liquid distributor is installed inside the cabinet, and the servers are vertically installed inside the cabinet and distributed on both sides of the liquid distributor. The liquid distributor is connected to the liquid supply pipeline.

[0007] Furthermore, one end of the liquid inlet pipe located inside the housing extends to the inner wall of the housing.

[0008] Furthermore, a fixing plate is provided on the inner wall of the box near the liquid inlet pipe, and a U-shaped bracket is fixed on the fixing plate. The server is vertically fixed on the U-shaped bracket. The fixing plate has mounting holes, and the liquid dispenser is connected to the liquid supply pipeline through the mounting holes.

[0009] Furthermore, the dispenser is equipped with a spraying device corresponding to the distribution of the server.

[0010] Furthermore, the top cover plate is provided with a viewing window, and the top cover plate is supported by a gas strut and locked with a latch lock.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the box is provided with several collection slots, which are connected to the liquid outlet pipe.

[0012] Beneficial effects: This utility model delivers cryogenic liquid to a distributor via an inlet pipe connected to a supply pipe. The distributor evenly distributes the cryogenic liquid and sprays it onto the server from both sides. After absorbing heat, the liquid falls to the bottom of the cabinet and flows out of the liquid-cooled cabinet through an outlet pipe. The liquid circulates continuously, eliminating the need for large amounts of coolant to accumulate inside the cabinet, effectively reducing equipment costs and overall weight. It also reduces the internal space of the cabinet, allowing for a lower overall height and more convenient installation location selection. Whether the cabinet is fully loaded with servers has virtually no impact, as no additional filler blocks are needed. After installation, the cabinet only requires connecting the inlet and outlet to be put into use, making it convenient to operate. 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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment proposes a spray-type liquid-cooled cabinet, including a cabinet 1, a top cover 2 hinged to the cabinet 1, a liquid distributor 3 disposed inside the cabinet 1, several servers 4, and an inlet pipe 5 and an outlet pipe 6 extending from the inside of the cabinet 1 to the outside. The inlet pipe 5 is located near the top of the cabinet 1, and the outlet pipe 6 is located near the bottom of the cabinet 1. The inlet pipe 5 is connected to a liquid supply pipe 7, and one end of the inlet pipe 5 inside the cabinet 1 extends to the inner wall of the cabinet 1. The liquid distributor 3 is installed inside the cabinet 1, and the servers 4 are vertically installed inside the cabinet 1 and distributed on both sides of the liquid distributor 3. The coolant flows more smoothly, the temperature is more uniform, and the heat dissipation effect is better. The cover of the server 4 can be removed during installation to expose the motherboard, chips and other components, ensuring better heat dissipation. The liquid distributor 3 is connected to the liquid supply pipe 7, and the liquid distributor 3 is equipped with a spray device corresponding to the distribution of the servers 4.

[0018] The cryogenic liquid enters the liquid supply pipe 7 inside the liquid-cooled cabinet through the inlet pipe 5 and flows into the distributor 3. The distributor 3 evenly distributes the cryogenic liquid and sprays it left and right onto the motherboard and chips of the server 4 (with the sheet metal shell removed). When the cryogenic liquid flows through the server 4, it absorbs the heat generated by the server 4 and becomes a high-temperature liquid, which falls freely to the bottom of the enclosure 1 and flows out of the liquid-cooled cabinet through the outlet pipe 6. The liquid circulates repeatedly, achieving precise temperature control of the server 4. There is no need to accumulate a large amount of coolant inside the enclosure 1, which effectively reduces equipment costs, reduces the overall weight, and reduces the internal space of the enclosure 1. The overall height of the equipment can be reduced, making it more convenient to choose an installation location. Moreover, whether the enclosure 1 is fully filled with the server 4 has basically no impact, and no additional filler blocks are needed. After the cabinet is installed, it can be put into use simply by connecting the inlet pipe 5 and the outlet pipe 6, making it convenient to use.

[0019] A fixing plate 8 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 1 near the liquid inlet pipe 5. A U-shaped bracket is fixed on the fixing plate 8. The server 4 is vertically fixed on the U-shaped bracket. The fixing plate 8 has mounting holes. The liquid dispenser 3 is connected to the liquid supply pipe 7 through the mounting holes. The connection can be made by welding, chuck clamp assembly, hose connection, nut and oil connection, etc.

[0020] The top cover 2 has a viewing window and is supported by a gas strut and locked with a latch lock.

[0021] The bottom of the housing 1 is provided with several collection tanks (not shown in the figure). The collection tanks are connected to the liquid outlet pipe 6, so that the liquid can flow to the liquid outlet pipe 6 after flowing to the bottom. This prevents the liquid from accumulating at the bottom, which would not only increase the weight of the housing 1, but also affect the liquid cooling effect.

[0022] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
