Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid cooling pipeline technology, specifically to a liquid cooling pipeline for an integrated prefabricated data center. Background Technology
[0002] As is well known, cooling systems play a crucial role in the efficient operation of modern data centers. With increasing computing density and higher energy efficiency requirements, traditional air cooling methods are no longer sufficient, leading to the widespread application of liquid cooling technology. However, in practical applications, traditional liquid cooling piping systems often require complex welding or fastener fixation during connection, which is not only time-consuming but also increases installation difficulty and cost. For liquid cooling systems, any moisture leakage can cause fatal damage to electronic equipment. However, existing liquid cooling piping systems often suffer from insufficient sealing performance due to design flaws, especially at joints where leakage risks are prone to occur. Traditional liquid cooling systems struggle to monitor and adjust key parameters such as liquid flow and temperature in real time during operation, making it difficult for maintenance personnel to promptly identify and resolve potential problems, thus affecting the stability and efficiency of the entire data center. Once a liquid cooling system malfunctions, locating the fault and repairing it often requires a significant amount of time and manpower. Furthermore, due to the lack of effective preventative measures, some minor issues may escalate into serious malfunctions, further increasing maintenance costs. Therefore, it is necessary to propose solutions to this technical problem. Utility Model Content

[0016] This integrated prefabricated data center's liquid cooling piping achieves quick and convenient connection and fixation with other pipes by using existing standard quick-connect couplings at both ends of the pipe body. This not only simplifies the installation process but also reduces installation time and costs, improving overall efficiency.

[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model relates to a liquid-cooled pipeline for an integrated prefabricated data center, comprising a pipeline body 1, quick connectors 2 at both ends of the pipeline body 1, a sealing box 3 on the pipeline body 1, a detection mechanism and a regulating valve 4 between the interior of the sealing box 3 and the pipeline body 1, a sealing groove at the top of the sealing box 3, an inclined block 5 and a controller 6 on the sealing groove, a fixed cover 7 and an adjusting cover 8 on the sealing box 3, a telescopic mechanism 9 between the interior of the adjusting cover 8 and the fixed cover 7, and sealing sleeves on both the adjusting cover 8 and the fixed cover 7. 10. An adjustment hole is provided on the adjustment cover 8, and a bearing seat 11 is provided on the adjustment hole. A lead screw 12 is provided on the bearing seat 11. A lifting plate 13 is provided below the adjustment cover 8. A threaded hole is provided on the lifting plate 13, and the lead screw 12 passes through the threaded hole. An inclined plate 14 is provided at the bottom end of the lifting plate 13. In this embodiment, existing standard quick connectors 2 can be used at both ends of the pipe body 1 to quickly connect and fix it with other pipes. Then, the wiring harness is connected to the controller 6, and the wiring is pressed against the sealing sleeve 10 on one side of the fixed cover 7 to push the adjustment cover 8. The adjusting cover 8 is stably pressed against the fixed cover 7 via the telescopic mechanism 9, thereby connecting the sealing sleeve 10 of the adjusting cover 8 with the sealing sleeve 10 of the fixed cover 7. This ensures that the circuit is securely sealed by the two sealing sleeves 10. Then, the lead screw 12 on the rotating bearing seat 11 passes through the threaded hole on the lifting plate 13, allowing the lifting plate 13 to move stably up and down within the inner wall of the adjusting cover 8. The lifting plate 13 drives the inclined plate 14 to move linearly downward. The inclined plate 14 contacts and abuts against the inclined block 5, generating a large lateral thrust through the angle of inclination, thus firmly pressing the adjusting cover 8 against the fixed cover 7. The controller 6 in the sealing groove is sealed, and the two sealing sleeves 10 can firmly seal the circuit of the controller 6, effectively preventing water from seeping into the sealing groove and ensuring a firm and reliable seal. The detection values of the detection mechanism and the control information of the regulating valve 4 can be transmitted to the network terminal of the controller 6 through the circuit, so that the data center platform can obtain the data. With the sealing box 3 and the pipe body 1 integrated, the personnel only need to quickly connect the pipe body 1 with other pipes through the quick connector 2 when using it to realize the detection of the liquid value used for liquid cooling in the pipe and control the flow through the regulating valve 4.
[0024] In order to facilitate the detection of the flow rate inside the pipe body 1, the detection mechanism in this solution includes a flow sensor 15. The flow sensor 15 is installed inside the sealed box 3 and between the inner wall of the pipe body 1. The flow sensor 15 can facilitate the detection of the flow rate of the liquid cooling medium inside the pipe body 1.
[0025] In order to facilitate the detection of the pressure value inside the pipe body 1, the detection mechanism in this solution also includes a pressure sensor 16. The pressure sensor 16 is installed inside the sealed box 3 and between the inner wall of the pipe body 1. The pressure sensor 16 can facilitate the detection of the pressure value of the liquid inside the pipe body 1.
[0026] In order to improve the fixing stability of the adjustment cover 8, in this solution, there are two inclined plates 14 and two inclined blocks 5, which are arranged symmetrically. The fixing stability of the adjustment cover 8 can be further improved by the two symmetrically arranged inclined plates 14 and inclined blocks 5.
[0027] To improve the linear movement stability of the lifting plate 13, this design includes a lifting hole on the lifting plate 13. A lifting column 17 is provided between the lifting hole and the bottom end of the adjusting cover 8. The lifting column 17 in the lifting hole improves the linear movement stability of the lifting plate 13, thereby ensuring the reliable fixation of the adjusting cover 8 on the fixed cover 7. Two lifting holes are provided and symmetrically arranged, further enhancing the linear movement stability of the lifting plate 13 and ensuring a more stable contact between the inclined block 5 and the inclined plate 14.
[0028] In order to ensure the sealing performance of the bearing housing 11, in this design, the bearing housing 11 is a sealed bearing. The excellent sealing performance of the sealed bearing can prevent water from seeping into the bearing housing 11.
[0029] To improve the applicability of the sealing sleeve 10, in this solution, the sealing sleeve 10 is made of high and low temperature resistant rubber material. The high and low temperature resistant rubber material can improve the high temperature resistance and low temperature resistance of the sealing sleeve 10, and can be used to seal the circuit normally in high temperature and cold environments.
[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
