Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer fluid management systems, and in particular to a water distributor for computer water cooling. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional water-cooling systems typically employ a combination of an independent water tank, a distributor, and external piping to construct the cooling circulation system. The water path is designed to bypass the water tank body, requiring the coolant to circulate through multiple bends in the external piping before completing its circulation among the water tank, distributor, and heat dissipation components. The distributor is connected to the water tank via an external flexible hose. The entire system has multiple connection points, and in practical applications, this connection method necessitates separate fixing and installation of the water tank and distributor components.

[0003] Shortcomings of existing technical solutions:

[0004] 1. Low space utilization: The external pipes are arranged in a complex and winding layout inside the chassis, occupying a lot of usable space and squeezing the installation space of other hardware inside the chassis. This limits the development of equipment towards miniaturization and compactness, and is especially unsuitable for server equipment with strict space layout requirements.

[0005] 2. High risk of leakage: Numerous pipe joints become potential sources of coolant leakage. Loosening, aging, or seal failure at any connection can lead to coolant leakage. Once a leak occurs, it will not only affect the normal operation of the water cooling system but may also cause irreversible damage to electronic components inside the chassis. 3. High flow resistance: The tortuous water path design significantly increases the flow distance of the coolant, resulting in a substantial increase in flow resistance. The water pump needs to consume more energy to propel the coolant circulation, which not only increases energy consumption but also accelerates pump wear and reduces pump lifespan.

[0006] 4. Complex assembly: Since the water tank and water distributor need to be fixed and installed separately, and need to be precisely connected to many external pipes and connection nodes, the installation process requires professional personnel to operate, which takes a long time. Improper installation can easily lead to a decrease in system performance, increasing installation costs and the difficulty of later maintenance.

[0007] 5. Limited heat exchange efficiency: In traditional water circuit design, the return water and the inlet water in the distributor are prone to local mixing, which causes the coolant that has not been fully cooled to participate in the circulation in advance, reducing the overall heat exchange efficiency and failing to provide efficient and stable heat dissipation for heat-generating components such as CPU and graphics card. Utility Model Content

[0008] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a water distributor for computer water cooling, which aims to change the connection method of external pipes of traditional independent components, optimize the structural design of water tank and water distributor, significantly reduce the number and length of external pipes, improve space utilization, and adapt to the spatial layout needs of diverse equipment.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a water distributor for computer water cooling, comprising:

[0010] A water tank, wherein the water tank has an inner cavity and the outer wall of the water tank has at least one clearance groove;

[0011] The water distributor includes a first water distributor and a second water distributor, which are located in the clearance groove and flush with the outer wall of the water tank.

[0012] The bottom of the first water distributor is provided with a first water inlet extending along the X-axis direction, and the first water distributor is provided with a plurality of first water outlets distributed along its height direction.

[0013] The water tank is provided with a through hole along the X-axis, and the through hole is used for the first water inlet to pass through.

[0014] The second water distributor is provided with a second water inlet spaced apart and a second water outlet located at the top;

[0015] The first outlet and the second inlet of each group are used to install the two ends of the component to be cooled, respectively.

[0016] The top of the first water distributor is provided with a transition cavity, and the two ends of the transition cavity are respectively provided with a third water inlet and a third water outlet.

[0017] The second outlet is directly or indirectly connected to the third inlet;

[0018] The water pump is located inside the water tank or on the outer wall of the water tank, and the inner cavity is provided with a fourth inlet and a fourth outlet.

[0019] The fourth inlet is connected to the third outlet.

[0020] The water pump drives the fluid in the inner cavity to flow out through the fourth outlet;

[0021] The fourth outlet and the first inlet are directly or indirectly connected.

[0022] Advantages in practical design;

[0023] 1. By changing the traditional connection method of external pipes for independent components and optimizing the structural design of water tanks and distributors, the number and length of external pipes are greatly reduced, space utilization is improved, and the spatial layout needs of diverse equipment are adapted to the needs of the equipment.

[0024] 2. Centralized connection nodes connect all water circuits via quick-connect couplings, allowing for easy plug-and-play connection and disconnection, shortening installation and maintenance time, reducing the risk of coolant leakage, ensuring the stability and reliability of the water cooling system, and providing a reliable and convenient connection solution for the liquid cooling system.

[0025] 3. Simplify water circuit design, shorten coolant circulation path, reduce flow resistance, reduce water pump load, and improve coolant circulation efficiency and water pump service life;

[0026] 4. An innovative integrated assembly method for the water tank and distributor simplifies the installation process, reduces installation and maintenance difficulty, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces labor costs;

[0027] 5. By optimizing the internal structure and water circuit layout of the water distributor, the mixing of return water and inlet water is avoided, ensuring that the coolant dissipates heat fully, improving the heat exchange efficiency of the water cooling system, and providing more efficient heat dissipation performance for the equipment.

[0060] Advantages in practical design;

[0061] 1.

[0062] 2. Centralized connection nodes connect all water circuits via quick-connect couplings, allowing for easy plug-and-play connection and disconnection, shortening installation and maintenance time, reducing the risk of coolant leakage, ensuring the stability and reliability of the water cooling system, and providing a reliable and convenient connection solution for the liquid cooling system.

[0064] 4. An innovative integrated assembly method for water tank 1 and water distributor simplifies the installation process, reduces installation and maintenance difficulty, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces labor costs;

[0065] 5. By optimizing the internal structure and water circuit layout of the water distributor, the mixing of return water and inlet water is avoided, ensuring that the coolant dissipates heat fully, improving the heat exchange efficiency of the water cooling system, and providing more efficient heat dissipation performance for the equipment.

[0066] Specifically, the top of the first water distributor 21 is provided with a partition 81, which forms the transition cavity 82.

[0067] In this embodiment of the utility model, the first water distributor 21 and the second water distributor 22 are arranged side by side, thereby making the whole more compact.

[0068] Specifically, a first water cooling radiator is connected between the second water outlet 42 and the third water inlet 51 and / or a second water cooling radiator is connected between the fourth water outlet 62 and the first water inlet 31.

[0073] In this embodiment of the utility model, the water pump 7 can be detachably installed on the side wall or outer wall of the water tank 1, thereby facilitating assembly and maintenance.

[0074] Compared to existing designs, it has the following advantages:

[0075] (a) Improve space utilization and equipment compactness

[0076] The inlet of the water tank 1 distributor features a hollow (through-hole) design, allowing the water path to pass directly through the water tank 1 body, eliminating the traditional bypass layout and significantly reducing the use of external pipes. The hollow design of water tank 1, combined with the insert-type connection of the distributor, further simplifies the structure, significantly improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the chassis, frees up more space for the installation and layout of other hardware equipment, and enables a more compact design of the equipment.

[0077] (ii) Reduce leakage risk

[0078] By reducing external pipes and connection points, the possibility of coolant leakage is reduced at its source. Meanwhile, the integrated structure of the water tank 1 and the distributor, the quick-connect design, and the hydraulic hoses and crimp connections further enhance the system's sealing performance, effectively preventing coolant leakage even during long-term use or equipment vibration, providing a safer and more stable operating environment for the equipment.

[0079] (III) Improving recycling efficiency and saving energy and reducing consumption

[0080] The hollow design and optimized water channel layout greatly shorten the coolant circulation path and significantly reduce flow resistance. Water pump 7 can circulate coolant with lower energy consumption, improving circulation efficiency while reducing the workload of water pump 7, extending its service life, and achieving energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0081] (iv) Simplify installation and maintenance procedures

[0082] The integrated design of water tank 1 and the water distributor transforms the previously complex installation of multiple components into a single unit installation. There's no need to separately fix water tank 1 and the water distributor, nor is there a need for cumbersome external piping connections. The installation process is simpler and faster, reducing the professional skills required of installers, significantly shortening installation time, and reducing labor costs. During maintenance, the overall structure also facilitates disassembly and repair, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0083] (v) Enhance heat exchange performance

[0084] The water distributor uses welded partitions to effectively prevent localized mixing of return and inlet water, ensuring that the coolant undergoes a complete heat dissipation process before recirculating. This design significantly improves the heat exchange efficiency of the water cooling system, providing more efficient and stable heat dissipation for heat-generating components such as the CPU and graphics card, and guaranteeing the performance of the equipment under high load.
