Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chassis technology, and in particular to a leak-proof module for preventing short circuits between the circuit and the panel. Background Technology

[0002] A liquid-cooled chassis is a computer case that utilizes liquid cooling technology. Compared to traditional air cooling, liquid cooling offers higher heat dissipation efficiency and lower noise levels, making it widely used in high-performance computers, gaming PCs, and workstations. The core of a liquid-cooled chassis is the liquid cooling system, which typically consists of a radiator, tubing, a pump, a reservoir, and coolant. The coolant circulates between the radiator and water block within the chassis via the pump, absorbing and carrying away heat from components such as the CPU and GPU, before dissipating the heat into the air through the radiator.

[0003] Current liquid-cooled chassis mainly consist of a chassis shell, a PCB motherboard, and a front panel. The PCB motherboard is located inside the chassis shell, and the front panel seals over the opening of the chassis shell. This front panel houses components such as power interface assemblies, first I / O interface assemblies, second I / O interface assemblies, and switching assemblies. These components typically require cables to connect to the PCB motherboard. In existing technology, this front panel is usually made of metal, and the circuit board of the power interface assembly is mounted on the front panel and in direct contact with it. This makes the circuit board prone to short circuits with the front panel, posing a significant safety hazard. Therefore, it is necessary to research a solution to address these issues.

[0050] The panel 10 has a first groove 11 inside, and a first hole 12 is formed on the outer surface of the panel 10, which communicates with the first groove 11. In this embodiment, the panel 10 is made entirely of metal; there are multiple first holes 12 arranged on the outer peripheral side of the panel 10; the panel 10 has a second groove 13 and a third groove 14 recessed inside, and a second hole 15 is formed on the panel 10.

The surface layer 212 and the circuit layer 211 are stacked on top of each other. The insulating pad 22 is sandwiched between the circuit layer 211 and the inner wall of the first groove 11. Of course, as... Figure 15As shown, the circuit board 21 may also include a wiring layer 211 and two surface layers 212. The wiring layer 211 is sandwiched between the two surface layers 212. The insulating gasket 22 is sandwiched between one of the surface layers 212 and the inner wall of the first groove 11 to better prevent short circuits. A limiting baffle 25 is sandwiched between the circuit board 21 and the inner wall of the first groove 11 to prevent the circuit board 21 from retracting. Furthermore, the insulating gasket 22 and the limiting baffle 25 are located on both sides of the circuit board 21. In addition, a cavity 202 is formed between the circuit board 21 and the inner wall of the first groove 11. The cavity 202 is filled with glue (not shown in the figure), which seals the assembly gap between the power interface assembly 20 and the panel 10 to achieve good leakage prevention performance. Furthermore, the insulating gasket 22 can be made of an elastic material. It fits tightly between the circuit board 21 and the panel 10, achieving a seal between the power interface assembly 20 and the panel 10 without the need for glue in the cavity 202. Additionally, the insulating gasket 22 has a slot 203 through which the power interface 23 extends into the first hole 12. The insulating gasket 22 fits tightly against the periphery of the inner opening of the first hole 12 for a better seal. Moreover, the circuit board 21 has multiple power interfaces 23, each located in a corresponding first hole 12, providing multiple power connections.

[0052] The first I / O interface assembly 30 is sealed and installed with the panel 10 and exposed on the outer surface of the panel 10.

[0054] The switch assembly 50 is installed in a sealed fit with the panel 10 and protrudes from the outer surface of the panel. In this embodiment, the switch assembly 50 has a third cable 51, and the switch assembly 50 is inserted into the second hole 15 and tightened and secured by a nut 52.

[0055] The assembly process of this embodiment is described in detail below:

[0056] First, the switch assembly 50 is installed into the second hole 15 and tightened with the nut 52. Next, the first I / O interface assembly 30 is embedded in the second groove 13 and fixed and sealed with glue. Then, the second I / O interface assembly 40 is embedded in the third groove 14 and fixed and sealed with glue. Next, the power interface assembly 20 is embedded in the first groove 11 and fixed and sealed with glue. Finally, the sealing ring 61 is fixed to the periphery of the panel 10, thus completing the assembly of the module.

[0057] In use, first connect the plugs of the power interface assembly 20, the first I / O interface assembly 30, the second I / O interface assembly 40, and the switch assembly 50 to the corresponding interfaces of the PCB motherboard 63. Then, seal the panel 10 on the chassis 62 to isolate the internal space of the chassis 62 from the outside. Finally, inject coolant into the chassis 62 through the connector 64.

[0058] The key design feature of this invention is that by embedding the circuit board in the first groove and sandwiching an insulating pad between the circuit board and the inner wall of the first groove, the circuit on the surface of the circuit board is isolated from the panel by the insulating pad, which effectively prevents short circuits between the circuit board and the panel of the power interface assembly, eliminates safety hazards, and brings convenience to the use of the product.
