Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid-cooled cabinet technology, and specifically to a liquid-cooled cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] The liquid cooling cabinet houses an electrical control box, which manages and controls various electrical components and systems within the liquid cooling system. Typically part of the cabinet, the control box monitors the operating status of the liquid cooling unit, ensuring the system's normal operation. Inside the control box is a control system that monitors various parameters of the liquid cooling system in real time. Based on the monitoring data, the system can automatically adjust pump speed, fan speed, and other parameters to ensure the stability of the liquid cooling system.

[0003] Most existing liquid-cooled server racks use direct threaded fastening to the rear wall of the rack's outer shell. The back of the control box typically has mounting holes for direct bolting to the rack's mounting frame. Pre-drilled bolt holes are usually provided in designated locations within the rack, allowing the control box and rack structure to be connected via bolts.

[0004] Electrical control boxes secured with bolts require more time and steps to disassemble, making them inconvenient for installation and removal. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems in related technologies to a certain extent. To this end, this utility model provides a liquid-cooled cabinet, which has the advantages of convenient installation and quick disassembly.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A liquid-cooled cabinet includes an outer shell and an electrical control box assembly. The outer shell includes a mounting plate, and the electrical control box assembly includes an electrical control box and a mounting plate. The mounting plate includes a plate body, multiple hooks, and multiple connectors. The electrical control box is mounted on a first surface of the mounting plate via the multiple connectors. The hooks protrude from a second surface of the mounting plate, wherein the first and second surfaces are opposite each other. The mounting plate has multiple hook holes corresponding one-to-one with the hooks. The hooks pass through the corresponding hook holes to hang the mounting plate on the mounting plate, placing it inside the liquid-cooled cabinet. The electrical control box is fixed to the mounting plate by the connectors, and the hooks pass through the hook holes on the mounting plate to mount the mounting plate. Installing and removing the mounting plate using hooks is faster and more convenient than fixing it with threads.

[0008] Optionally, the hook includes a connecting portion and a hook portion. A first end of the connecting portion is fixedly connected to a second surface of the plate body. The hook portion is disposed at the second end of the connecting portion and is positioned opposite to the plate body. The connecting portion passes through the hook hole, such that the plate body and the hook portion are located on opposite sides of the mounting plate. The connecting portion of the hook connects the plate body and the hook portion. The hook portion is used to fix the mounting plate to the mounting plate. The hook portion is positioned opposite to the plate body to hook onto the mounting plate for fixation. The length of the connecting portion is greater than the thickness of the mounting plate and passes through the mounting plate, allowing the hook portion to engage and fix with the mounting plate on the side of the mounting plate away from the mounting plate, thereby improving the stability of the mounting plate.

[0009] Optionally, the electrical control box assembly includes two hooks, which are disposed on the top of the plate body and symmetrically arranged at both ends of the plate body. When the mounting plate is suspended on the mounting plate, the rotational force point is located at the bottom of the contact surface between the mounting plate and the mounting plate. The hooks being located on the top of the plate body provide a larger lever arm and better fixation. Furthermore, the symmetrical arrangement of the two hooks distributes the force evenly, preventing the mounting plate from tilting and affecting stability. Overall, this improves the fixation stability of the mounting plate.

[0010] Optionally, the electrical control box is provided with a connection hole, and the connector is provided and protrudes from the first surface. The connector passes through the connection hole to fix the electrical control box to the first surface. The connection hole is used to cooperate with the connector to fix the electrical control box to the mounting plate, and the quick and convenient disassembly and assembly between the mounting plate and the mounting plate enables quick and convenient installation of the electrical control box.

[0011] Optionally, at least three edges of the mounting plate extend beyond the edge of the electrical control box. The mounting plate extending beyond the edge of the electrical control box in at least three directions ensures that the electrical control box can be fixed to the mounting plate with high stability.

[0012] Optionally, the mounting plate further includes multiple mounting components, and the setting plate is mounted on the mounting plate via these multiple mounting components, with the number of mounting components not exceeding two. The mounting components are used to fix the setting plate to the mounting plate, which can improve the stability of the setting plate, ensure that the setting plate will not fall off the mounting plate, and distribute the force on the hooks, preventing excessive force on the hooks from causing them to break, thus improving the safety of the setting plate and the electrical control box.

[0013] Optionally, the mounting component includes a press-fit nut post, which protrudes from the mounting plate. The mounting plate has mounting holes corresponding to the press-fit nut post, and the press-fit nut post passes through these holes to hang the mounting plate on the mounting plate, placing it inside the liquid-cooled cabinet. The mounting component passes through the mounting holes via the press-fit nut post, and the mounting plate is secured to the mounting plate by press-fit panel screws that mate with the press-fit nut post.

[0014] Optionally, the height by which the mounting component protrudes from the mounting plate is less than the thickness of the electrical control box.

[0015] Optionally, the number of mounting components is two, and the two mounting components are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the length direction of the mounting plate. The symmetrical distribution of the two mounting components on both sides of the length direction of the mounting plate can distribute the force on a single mounting component, reduce the pressure on each mounting component, increase the service life of the mounting components, and reduce costs.

[0016] Optionally, the plate body further includes an abutment member protruding towards the second surface, the abutment member forming a space with the setting plate and the mounting plate. The abutment member forms an angle with the mounting plate, and after fixing, a space is formed between the mounting plate and the setting plate. This space can improve the stability and rigidity of the structure, and is beneficial for shock absorption and weight reduction.

[0017] These features and advantages of this utility model will be disclosed in detail in the following specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. The preferred embodiments or means of this utility model will be shown in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but are not intended to limit the technical solutions of this utility model.

[0034] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described are intended to explain this utility model and should not be construed as limiting it.

[0035] The terms "an embodiment," "example," or "trademark" used in this specification refer to a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment itself that may be included in at least one embodiment disclosed in this utility model. The phrase "in an embodiment" appearing in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0036] like Figures 1-4As shown, a liquid-cooled cabinet includes a housing 1 and an electrical control box assembly 2. The housing 1 includes a mounting plate 10, and the electrical control box assembly 2 includes an electrical control box 20 and a mounting plate 21. The mounting plate 21 includes a plate body 210, a plurality of hooks 211, and a plurality of connectors 212. The electrical control box 20 is disposed on a first surface 213 of the mounting plate 21 via the plurality of connectors 212. The hooks 211 protrude from a second surface 214 of the mounting plate 21, wherein the first surface 213 and the second surface 214 are opposite to each other. The mounting plate 10 has a plurality of hook holes 100 corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of hooks 211. The hooks 211 pass through the corresponding hook holes 100 to hang the mounting plate 21 on the mounting plate 10 and to be located inside the liquid-cooled cabinet. The electrical control box 20 is fixed to the mounting plate 21 via a connector 212. A hook 211 passes through the hook hole 100 on the mounting plate 10 to mount the mounting plate 21 onto the mounting plate 10. Installing and removing the device via the hook 211 is faster and more convenient than fixing it with threads.

[0037] The hook 211 includes a connecting part 2110 and a hook part 2111. The first end of the connecting part 2110 is fixedly connected to the second surface 214 of the plate body 210. The hook part 2111 is disposed at the second end of the connecting part 2110 and is disposed opposite to the plate body 210. The connecting part 2110 passes through the hook hole 100 so that the plate body 210 and the hook part 2111 are respectively located on both sides of the mounting plate 10. The connecting part 2110 of the hook 211 connects the main body 210 of the plate and the hook part 2111. The hook part 2111 is used to fix the setting plate 21 on the mounting plate 10. The hook part 2111 is arranged opposite to the plate body 210 to hook the mounting plate 10 to achieve fixation. The length of the connecting part 2110 is greater than the thickness of the mounting plate 10 and passes through the mounting plate 10 so that the hook part 2111 can be engaged and fixed with the mounting plate 10 on the side of the mounting plate 10 away from the setting plate 21, thereby improving the fixation stability of the setting plate 21.

[0038] like Figures 7-12As shown, the electrical control box assembly 2 includes two hooks 211, which are disposed on the top of the plate body 210, and the two hooks 211 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the plate body 210. When the mounting plate 21 is suspended on the mounting plate 10, the rotational force point is located at the bottom of the contact surface between the mounting plate 21 and the mounting plate 10. The hooks 211, being located on the top of the plate body 210, provide a larger lever arm and better fixation. Furthermore, the symmetrical arrangement of the two hooks 211 disperses the force and ensures even force distribution on the mounting plate 21, preventing tilting of the mounting plate 21 and thus improving its stability. Overall, this improves the fixation stability of the mounting plate 21. In other embodiments, more hooks can be provided, such as three hooks on each side, to further enhance stability and reduce the force on individual hooks.

[0039] The electrical control box 20 is provided with a connection hole 200. The connector 212 is provided and protrudes from the first surface 213. The connector 212 passes through the connection hole 200 to fix the electrical control box 20 to the first surface 213. The connection hole 200 is used to cooperate with the connector 212 to fix the electrical control box 20 on the mounting plate 21. The quick and convenient disassembly and assembly between the mounting plate 21 and the mounting plate 10 enables quick and convenient installation of the electrical control box 20.

[0040] At least three edges of the mounting plate 21 extend beyond the edge of the electrical control box 20. This means that the mounting plate 21 extends beyond the electrical control box 20 in at least three directions, allowing the electrical control box 20 to be fixed to the mounting plate 21 and improving the stability of the fixed connection between the electrical control box 20 and the mounting plate 21.

[0041] The mounting plate 10 also includes multiple mounting members 101. The setting plate 21 is mounted on the mounting plate 10 via the multiple mounting members 101, and the number of mounting members 101 does not exceed two. The mounting members 101 are used to fix the setting plate 21 to the mounting plate 10, which can improve the stability of the setting plate 21, ensure that the setting plate 21 will not fall off the mounting plate 10, and distribute the force on the hook 211, preventing the hook 211 from breaking due to excessive force, thereby improving the safety of the setting plate 21 and the electrical control box 20.

[0042] The mounting component 101 includes a press-fit nut post, which is disposed and protrudes from the mounting plate 10. The mounting plate 21 has a mounting hole 215 corresponding to the press-fit nut post. The press-fit nut post passes through the mounting hole 215 to hang the mounting plate 21 on the mounting plate 10, and is located inside the liquid-cooled cabinet. The mounting component 101 passes through the mounting hole 215 via the press-fit nut post, and the mounting plate 21 is fixed to the mounting plate 10 by press-fit panel screws that mate with the press-fit nut post. The hook structure and two press-fit panel screws allow for quick installation and removal of the mounting plate, enabling rapid maintenance of the electrical control box. The combination of the press-fit panel screws and press-fit nut post provides reliable fixing force, especially suitable for applications requiring high-strength connections. The threaded connection allows for easy disassembly and re-fixing. Of course, in other embodiments, bolts and nuts can also be used for fixing.

[0043] The height by which the mounting component 101 protrudes from the mounting plate 10 is less than the thickness of the electrical control box 20.

[0044] The number of mounting components 101 is two, and the two mounting components 101 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the length direction of the mounting plate 10. The symmetrical distribution of the two mounting components 101 on both sides of the length direction of the mounting plate 10 can share the force of a single mounting component 101, reduce the pressure on each mounting component 101, improve the service life of the mounting component 101, and reduce costs.

[0045] like Figures 5-6 As shown, the plate body 210 also includes an abutment member 216 protruding towards the second surface 214. The abutment member 216, the setting plate 21, and the mounting plate 10 form a space 3. The abutment member 216 forms an angle with the mounting plate 10, and after fixing, it forms a space 3 between the mounting plate 10 and the setting plate 21. The space 3 can improve the stability and rigidity of the structure, which is beneficial for vibration reduction and weight reduction. Specifically, the design of the space also helps to disperse external forces, reduce stress concentration in the structure, provide a more balanced load-bearing capacity, and improve the vibration damping capability of the system by setting the space.

[0046] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model includes, but is not limited to, the contents described in the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments above. Any modifications that do not depart from the functional and structural principles of this utility model will be included within the scope of the claims.
