[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) This utility model realizes the fixed installation of T-shaped pipe and distribution pipe through the bolt connection of the first flange and the second flange. It is easy to disassemble and convenient to maintain the distribution pipe. The setting of the first rubber gasket can effectively improve the sealing of the connection between the T-shaped pipe and the distribution pipe, prevent coolant leakage, and thus prevent uneven distribution of coolant. It solves the problem that the existing immersion liquid cooling equipment uses circular pipes as pipelines during use. The cross-sectional shape of the pipes does not match the rectangular layout of most electronic equipment, resulting in low space utilization. The laminar flow mode limits the heat exchange efficiency. Secondly, the complex bending interface is prone to leakage risk.

The fan blades are driven by the drive motor to rotate, which can blow the cold air outside to the bottom of the rectangular pipe to dissipate the coolant inside the rectangular pipe. The partition and the first through slot can form an S-shaped pipe inside the rectangular pipe. The S-shaped pipe can increase the flow path of the coolant in the limited space, prolong the contact time with the heat source, and improve the heat absorption efficiency. The square cross section is more resistant to deformation than the round pipe. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of an immersion liquid-cooled square pipe, comprising a first housing 1, a second housing 2 installed at the bottom of the first housing 1, a liquid storage tank 3 installed on the left side inside the second housing 2, and a T-shaped pipe 4 installed on the left side of the bottom inside the first housing 1. The T-shaped pipe 4 is an integrally formed structure, and multiple diversion pipes 6 are installed on the top of the T-shaped pipe 4. Multiple nozzles 10 are installed on the diversion pipes 6. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4The top of the T-shaped pipe 4 has multiple openings. A first flange 5 is installed at the opening at the top of the T-shaped pipe 4, and a second flange 7 is installed at the bottom of the branch pipe 6. A first rubber gasket 8 is installed on the top of both the first flange 5 and the second flange 7. The first flange 5 and the second flange 7 are connected by bolts 9. The bolted connection between the first flange 5 and the second flange 7 achieves the fixed installation of the T-shaped pipe 4 and the branch pipe 6, and the disassembly is simple, facilitating the maintenance of the branch pipe 6. The first rubber gasket 8 effectively improves the sealing of the connection between the T-shaped pipe 4 and the branch pipe 6, preventing coolant leakage and thus preventing uneven coolant distribution. A first water pump 11 is installed on the top of the liquid storage tank 3. The bottom of the T-shaped pipe 4 passes through the first tank body 1 and the second tank body 2 and connects to the first water pump 11. A first outlet pipe 13 is installed at the bottom of the first water pump 11, and the other end of the first outlet pipe 13 is located inside the lower part of the liquid storage tank 3. After placing the electronic equipment carrying heat inside the first housing 1, the first water pump 11 is started. Coolant from the reservoir 3 flows sequentially through the first outlet pipe 13 and the T-shaped pipe 4 into the distribution pipe 6, and is sprayed into the first housing 1 through the nozzles 10, completely immersing the electronic equipment in the coolant for heat dissipation. The multiple distribution pipes 6 and multiple nozzles 10 on the distribution pipes 6 ensure even distribution of coolant into the first housing 1, preventing uneven cooling. A second water pump 15 is installed on the upper right side of the first housing 1. A second outlet pipe 14 is installed through the first housing 1 on the left side of the second water pump 15. A third connecting pipe 16 is installed at the bottom of the second water pump 15. A rectangular pipe 17 is installed on the right side inside the second housing 2, and the third connecting pipe 16 connects to the rectangular pipe 17. Starting the second water pump 15, due to the characteristic that hot coolant rises and cold coolant sinks, allows the hot coolant to be discharged through the second outlet pipe 14 and the third connecting pipe 16 into the rectangular pipe 17 for heat dissipation. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 The rectangular pipe 17 has multiple sets of baffles 18 evenly installed inside. Each baffle 18 has a first through groove 20 at one end, with adjacent first through grooves 20 arranged alternately. The inner wall of each first through groove 20 is fitted with annular reinforcing ribs 21. (See also...) Figure 2The bottom right side of the second housing 2 has a second through slot 29. A mounting bracket 30 is installed inside the second through slot 29. A drive motor 31 is mounted at the bottom of the mounting bracket 30, and a fan blade 32 is mounted at the top of the mounting bracket 30. Multiple sets of heat dissipation holes 33 are provided on the top right side of the second housing 2. When the drive motor 31 is started, it drives the fan blade 32 to rotate, blowing external cool air to the bottom of the rectangular pipe 17 to dissipate heat from the coolant inside the rectangular pipe 17. The heat dissipation holes 33 allow air to pass through the rectangular pipe 17, forming a flow channel and improving heat dissipation efficiency. The partition 18 and the first through slot 20 create an S-shaped pipe inside the rectangular pipe 17. The S-shaped pipe increases the coolant flow path within a limited space, prolonging the contact time with the heat source and improving heat absorption efficiency. The square cross-section is more resistant to deformation than a round pipe. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 A first connecting pipe 23 is installed on the left side of the rectangular pipe 17. An air bladder 24 is installed on the outer wall of the first connecting pipe 23. An air inlet valve 25 is installed at the front end of one side of the air bladder 24, and an air outlet valve 26 is installed at the rear end of one side of the air bladder 24. Both the air inlet valve 25 and the air outlet valve 26 are one-way valves. A second connecting pipe 27 is installed on the right side of the liquid storage tank 3. A second rubber gasket 28 is installed on the inner wall of the second connecting pipe 27. The first connecting pipe 23 and the second connecting pipe 27 are connected together. Air is filled into the air bladder 24 through the air inlet valve 25, causing the air bladder 24 to inflate and fill the gap between the first connecting pipe 23 and the second connecting pipe 27. The second rubber gasket 28 allows the air bladder 24 to fit against the inner wall of the second connecting pipe 27, thus sealing the connection between the first connecting pipe 23 and the second connecting pipe 27. The cooled liquid flows through the first connecting pipe 23 and the second connecting pipe 27 into the liquid storage tank 3, enabling the recycling of the coolant.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 A sealing ring 12 is installed at the connection between the lower part of the T-shaped pipe 4 and the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, and a sealing ring 12 is installed at the connection between the second outlet pipe 14 and the first housing 1. The sealing ring 12 effectively improves the sealing connection between the T-shaped pipe 4 and the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, as well as the sealing connection between the second outlet pipe 14 and the first housing 1, preventing coolant leakage and improving the cooling effect of the device.

[0025] Please see Figure 3The two sides of the partition 18 away from the first through slot 20 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rectangular pipe 17 by reinforcing blocks 19. The outer wall of the reinforcing blocks 19 is arc-shaped. Multiple sets of fins 22 are evenly installed on both sides of the partition 18 and both sides of the rectangular pipe 17. The installation of the reinforcing blocks 19 can improve the connection stability of the partition 18 and prevent the partition 18 from shifting. The arc-shaped surface design can buffer the coolant and reduce the impact force of the coolant on the partition 18. The design of the fins 22 can increase the inner wall surface area and improve the heat transfer efficiency.
