These terms are primarily used to distinguish one component from another, or one feature from another. Furthermore, the term "or" as used in this document should, as appropriate, include any combination of one or more related listed items.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 12 As shown, this is one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment discloses an immersion server system 1000, which includes a server device 200 and an automation device 100 configured in conjunction with the server device 200. It should be noted that although the automation device 100 is described in this embodiment as being configured in conjunction with the server device 200, this invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this invention, the automation device 100 may also be used independently (e.g., for sales) or in conjunction with other components, depending on actual needs.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the server device 200 in this embodiment includes a rack 201 and at least one server module 202, and at least one server module 202 is detachably inserted into the rack 201 along a plumb line direction D1 to be in an electrical connection position. The specific structure of the rack 201 and at least one server module 202 can be adjusted and varied according to actual needs, but for ease of understanding, this embodiment will describe the rack 201 and at least one server module 202 using one feasible structure in the following description.

[0042] The rack 201 includes a plurality of upright slots 2011 and a switch (not shown in the figure), and each of the upright slots 2011 is parallel to the plumb line direction D1, and the plurality of upright slots 2011 are arranged in a row along a configuration direction D2 (equally spaced) perpendicular to the plumb line direction D1. At least one server module 202 can be inserted into at least one of the upright slots 2011 of the rack 201 along the plumb line direction D1; that is, the plurality of upright slots 2011 of the rack 201 can provide for the insertion of a plurality of server modules 202, and any one of the server modules 202 can have different constructions (e.g., different thicknesses) to be suitable for insertion into one upright slot 2011 or into a plurality of adjacent upright slots 2011.

[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the server module 202 includes a server body 2021 and a pick-and-place handle 2022 fixed to the top of the server body 2021, and the pick-and-place handle 2022 has at least one retaining hole 2023. The server module 202 is inserted into at least one of the upright slots 2011 via the server body 2021, so that the server body 2021 is electrically coupled to the switch of the rack 201, located at the electrical connection position. The above-mentioned electrical coupling can be implemented in any way (e.g., multiple connectors are interlocked), and this invention is not limited thereto.

[0044] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the automated equipment 100 includes an immersion device 1, a conveying device 2 that moves relative to the immersion device 1, and a clamping mechanism 3 that engages the immersion device 1 and the conveying device 2. It should be noted that although the immersion device 1 is described in this embodiment as being used in conjunction with the conveying device 2 and the clamping mechanism 3, this invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this invention, the immersion device 1 may also be used alone (e.g., for sale) or in conjunction with other components, depending on actual needs.

[0045] In this embodiment, the immersion device 1 includes a cooling tank 11, an interface mechanism 12 mounted on the top of the cooling tank 11, and a condensation mechanism 13 mounted on the interface mechanism 12. The cooling tank 11 is substantially the same size as (e.g., slightly larger than) the server rack 201 and is used to hold a cooling liquid 400 (e.g., a fluoride cooling liquid). The server rack 201 (or the server equipment 200) is disposed within the cooling tank 11 and immersed in the cooling liquid 400.

[0046] Furthermore, the top of the cooling tank 11 has a generally rectangular slot 111, and the slot 111 is generally located directly above the plurality of upright slots 2011 of the rack 201, so as to facilitate the server module 202 to be inserted into or removed from the cooling tank 11 through the slot 111.

[0047] The interface mechanism 12 includes a frame 121 and a cover 122 mounted on the frame 121. The frame 121 generally corresponds to the top of the cooling tank 11, and the frame 121 is fixed to the top of the cooling tank 11 and surrounds the opening 111. In this embodiment, the frame 121 is rectangular and has two long side sections 1211 facing each other and two short side sections 1212 facing each other, but is not limited to this.

[0048] More specifically, the frame 121 includes a plurality of first positioning portions 1213 located at its top edge and an annular airtight gasket 1214. In this embodiment, the plurality of first positioning portions 1213 are substantially identical in construction and are spaced apart from each other on the two long side sections 1211, and each first positioning portion 1213 is described as a positioning pin with a conical tip, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present invention not shown, the plurality of first positioning portions 1213 may also adopt slightly different constructions according to actual needs, or the plurality of first positioning portions 1213 may also be disposed on any one of the short side sections 1212.

[0049] Furthermore, the airtight gasket 1214 is disposed along the top edge of the frame 121, and the airtight gasket 1214 may be a component capable of elastic deformation (e.g., an O-ring). In this embodiment, a plurality of first positioning portions 1213 are located outside the airtight gasket 1214, and a portion of the airtight gasket 1214 is embedded in the frame 121, while another portion of the airtight gasket 1214 is protruding and lower than the height of any one of the first positioning portions 1213, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0050] The cover 122 is movable relative to the frame 121 to a first position that closes the slot 111 (e.g.: Figure 5 and Figure 6 ) and opening a second position of the slot 111 (e.g.: Figure 7 The device moves between the two positions. When the cover 122 is in the first position, the immersion device 1 surrounds and forms a closed cooling space S1 located below the cover 122.

[0051] In this embodiment, the cover 122 is a rectangular plate, and its shape generally corresponds to the slot 111. The frame 121 is installed inside the frame 121 and its short side is pivotally connected to a short side section 1212 of the cover 122, so that the cover 122 can rotate relative to the frame 121. However, this utility model is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of this utility model not shown, the cover 122 may also adopt other structures (such as telescopic structures or rolling structures) to realize the opening and closing of the slot 111 according to actual needs.

[0052] Furthermore, the frame 121 includes a plurality of channels 1215 located on the cover 122, and in this embodiment, the plurality of channels 1215 are through and disposed on the short side section 1212 pivotally connected to the cover 122, so that the inner space enclosed by the cover 122 can be connected to the outside through the plurality of channels 1215.

[0053] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the condensation mechanism 13 is installed in multiple channels 1215 of the frame 121, and the condensation mechanism 13 can be evacuated from the inside of the frame 121 to condense the cooling liquid 400 that has dispersed due to vaporization. It should be noted that the specific structure of the condensation mechanism 13 can be configured according to actual needs, including a condenser 131, multiple valves 132 respectively installed in the multiple channels 1215, a concentration detector (not shown in the figure) for detecting the gaseous cooling liquid 400, and a reservoir 133 for containing the condensed cooling liquid 400. The condensation mechanism 13 can perform evacuation and condensation operations by opening one of the valves 132 through the corresponding channel 1215, and can also open another valve 132 to perform blowing operations through the corresponding channel 1215. This invention does not impose any limitations on this. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this utility model, the condensation mechanism 13 may be omitted from the immersion device 1 according to actual needs.

[0054] The transport device 2 can hold the server module 202 and move relative to the immersion device 1. Under the premise of realizing the above functions, the transport device 2 can be applied to various architectures according to actual needs, such as overhead hoist transfer (OHT), robotic arms, or autonomous mobile robots (AMR). However, for the sake of explaining this embodiment, the transport device 2 in the following description is used as an example of a structure applicable to the overhead hoist transfer to achieve higher space utilization efficiency, but this utility model is not limited to this.

[0055] Specifically, the handling device 2 includes an airtight outer cover 21 and a transfer mechanism 22 movably mounted within the airtight outer cover 21. In this embodiment, the airtight outer cover 21 is used to be mounted on an aerial unmanned vehicle track 300 and is movable relative to the immersion device 1, and the transfer mechanism 22 is used to hold the server module 202.

[0056] Furthermore, the airtight outer cover 21 can abut against the frame 121 of the interface mechanism 12 (e.g., the airtight outer cover 21 presses against the airtight gasket 1214) and be located in an airtight position (e.g., Figure 5 and Figure 6This allows the airtight outer cover 21 and the immersion device 1 to together enclose and form a closed space S. The airtight outer cover 21, while ensuring an airtight seal with the interface mechanism 12, can be modified according to actual needs. For ease of understanding this embodiment, the following description will use one feasible construction of the airtight outer cover 21, but this invention is not limited thereto.

[0057] In this embodiment, the top edge of the airtight outer cover 21 is movably mounted on the high-altitude unmanned vehicle track 300, and the internal space of the airtight outer cover 21 generally corresponds to (e.g., slightly larger than) the plurality of upright slots 2011 of the cabinet 201. Furthermore, the airtight outer cover 21 has an opening 211 located at its bottom edge, and the size of the opening 211 generally corresponds to (e.g., slightly larger than) the cover 122.

[0058] The airtight outer cover 21 includes a plurality of second positioning portions 212 located at the bottom edge, and the shape and position of the plurality of second positioning portions 212 generally correspond to the plurality of first positioning portions 1213. Thus, the airtight outer cover 21 can be fitted into the plurality of first positioning portions 1213 of the frame 121 by the plurality of second positioning portions 212 respectively (so that the airtight outer cover 21 presses against the airtight gasket 1214) and is located in the airtight position.

[0059] In this embodiment, the plurality of second positioning portions 212 are generally identical in construction and arranged at intervals from each other, and each second positioning portion 212 is described as being able to fit into a groove corresponding to the first positioning portion 1213, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present invention not shown, any one of the first positioning portions 1213 may be a groove, while the corresponding second positioning portion 212 may be a positioning pin.

[0060] In addition, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the automated equipment 100 can also install the clamping mechanism 3 on at least one of the frame 121 and the airtight cover 21, so that when the airtight cover 21 abuts against the frame 121, the clamping mechanism 3 can force the airtight cover 21 and the frame 121 to press against each other and be in the airtight position.

[0061] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 3 is described as being installed on the frame 121, and the clamping mechanism 3 includes multiple sensors 31 and multiple clamping members 32. The multiple sensors 31 are installed on the frame 121 and located outside the airtight gasket 1214, for sensing the position of the airtight outer cover 21. Moreover, each clamping member 32 is, for example, a fastener, and the multiple clamping members 32 are movably installed on the frame 121 and located inside the airtight gasket 1214, so that when the airtight outer cover 21 abuts against the frame 121, the multiple clamping members 32 force the airtight outer cover 21 and the frame 121 to abut against each other (e.g., any one of the clamping members 32 is fastened to the inner edge of the airtight outer cover 21), thus positioning it in the airtight position.

[0062] Therefore, when the conveying device 2 moves directly above the immersion device 1 (e.g., the interface mechanism 12) and descends along the plumb line D1, the plurality of first positioning parts 1213 of the interface mechanism 12 can respectively guide the plurality of second positioning parts 212 of the airtight outer cover 21 to a predetermined position, the plurality of clamping members 32 can more stably engage the airtight outer cover 21 and the frame 121, and the plurality of sensors 31 can confirm whether the airtight outer cover 21 and the frame 121 are indeed tightly sealed and located in the airtight position.

[0063] More specifically, when the airtight outer cover 21 is in the airtight position and the cover 122 is in the first position (e.g.: Figure 6 The enclosed space S is divided into a cooling space S1 located below the cover 122 and an escape space S2 located above the cover 122 and not connected to the cooling space S1, and the plurality of channels 1215 of the frame 121 are connected to the escape space S2.

[0064] Furthermore, when the airtight outer cover 21 is in the airtight position, the cover 122 can rotate from the first position relative to the frame 121, pass through the opening 211, and be located inside the airtight outer cover 21, so as to be located in the second position (e.g.: Figure 7It should be noted that when the airtight outer cover 21 is in the airtight position and before the cover 122 moves from the first position to the second position, the condensing mechanism 13 can perform the evacuation operation and evacuate the escaping space S2 through the corresponding channel 1215 by opening only one of the valves 132 until its pressure is less than or equal to the pressure of the cooling space S1 (that is, the other valve 132 is closed, so the condensing mechanism 13 does not perform the blowing operation on the enclosed space S), but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, when the airtight outer cover 21 is in the airtight position and before the cover 122 moves from the first position to the second position, the condensing mechanism 13 may also not perform any operation (that is, multiple valves 132 are in the closed state).

[0065] Furthermore, when the airtight outer cover 21 is in the airtight position and the cover 122 is in the second position (e.g.: Figures 8 to 11 The transfer mechanism 22 can move within the airtight enclosure 21 along the configuration direction D2, and the transfer mechanism 22 enables the server module 202 to perform a pick-and-place operation relative to the rack 201 along the plumb direction D1. In the accompanying drawings of this embodiment, the pick-and-place operation is described as the transfer mechanism 22 placing the server module 202 into at least one of the upright slots 2011 of the rack. However, in other embodiments not shown in this invention, the pick-and-place operation also includes the transfer mechanism 22 removing the server module 202 from the rack 201.

[0066] More specifically, in this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 22 includes a lateral movement unit 221, a lifting unit 222 connected to the lateral movement unit 221, an acquisition unit 223 connected to the lifting unit 222, and a drive source (not shown in the figure, such as a servo motor). The drive source can drive the lateral movement unit 221, the lifting unit 222, and the acquisition unit 223 to operate, but this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0067] As described above, the transfer mechanism 22, driven by the drive source, enables the lateral movement unit 221 to move along the configuration direction D2 to directly above at least one preset upright slot 2011, and then the lifting unit 222 can move along the plumb direction D1 toward the at least one preset upright slot 2011. Thus, the acquisition unit 223 can place the server module 202, acquired through the pick-and-place handle 2022 (e.g., at least one retaining hole 2023), into the at least one preset upright slot 2011; or, the acquisition unit 223 can remove the server module 202 placed within the at least one preset upright slot 2011 using the pick-and-place handle 2022 (not shown in the figure).

[0068] When the airtight outer cover 21 is in the airtight position, the transfer mechanism 22 completes the pick-and-place operation, and the cover 122 moves from the second position to the first position (e.g.: Figure 12 The condensation mechanism 13 can evacuate the escape space S2 to condense the cooling liquid 400 that has been dispersed in the escape space S2 due to vaporization.

[0069] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the condensation mechanism 13 can perform the evacuation and condensation operations on the escape space S2 through the corresponding channel 1215 by opening another valve 132. Preferably, this continues until the concentration of the gaseous cooling liquid 400 is less than a preset value (e.g., 10 ppm). Moreover, the condensation mechanism 13 can open another valve 132 to perform the blowing operation on the escape space S2 through the corresponding channel 1215, but this invention is not limited to the above.

[0070] It should be further noted that although the immersion server system 1000 is described using the automated equipment 100 in conjunction with the server equipment 200 (e.g., the server module 202), this utility model is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this utility model, the automated equipment 100 may be configured in other ways besides the server equipment 200, depending on actual needs; that is, the transfer mechanism 22 can be used to hold an object, and when the airtight outer cover 21 is in the airtight position and the cover 122 is in the second position, the transfer mechanism 22 can enable the object to be picked up and placed relative to the cooling tank 11.

[0071] [Technical Effects of the Embodiments of this Utility Model]

[0072] In summary, the immersion server system, automated equipment, and immersion device disclosed in this utility model embodiment can effectively prevent the evaporation and leakage of the cooling liquid. Specifically, the automated equipment, through its interface mechanism, can be coupled with the airtight outer casing to form a closed space, facilitating the handling of objects (such as the server module) within a closed environment to prevent the evaporation and leakage of the cooling liquid.

[0073] Furthermore, the automated equipment disclosed in this utility model embodiment does not require manual operation, thus reducing component damage that may be caused by human factors, effectively managing relevant information for pick-up and drop-off operations, and avoiding potential health risks that may arise from personnel coming into contact with cooling liquids.

[0074] The above-disclosed content is only a preferred and feasible embodiment of the present utility model, and is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent technical changes made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings are included in the patent scope of the present utility model.
