Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of circuit testing technology, and in particular to an integrated testing system. Background Technology

[0002] The testing of parameters in the internal circuits of a product, such as the liquid cooling pipeline of a server, includes temperature, pressure, and flow rate. Currently, the testing of these parameters usually involves connecting the corresponding sensors to the testing equipment to test the parameters of the product, which makes the testing operation cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a multifunctional integrated detection system.

[0004] Some embodiments of this application provide an integrated detection system, which includes a housing and an integrated circuit. The housing has a first port, a second port, a third port, and a fourth port. The integrated circuit includes a first conduit, a second conduit, and a detection element. The first conduit connects the first port and the second port. The second conduit connects the third port and the fourth port. The detection element is disposed in the first conduit and / or the second conduit, and is configured to have at least one of temperature, flow rate, pressure, or humidity detection functions. The first port is connected to the outlet of a supply device, the fourth port is configured to connect to the inlet of the supply device or the external environment, and the second and third ports are configured to connect to the inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling pipeline of a liquid-cooled server, respectively.

[0005] In the aforementioned integrated testing system, the testing components can be installed in one or both of the first and second pipelines according to the testing needs, and have at least one of the functions of temperature, flow rate, pressure or humidity detection. This enables the integrated testing system to perform operations such as injection or discharge of the liquid cooling circuit by the supply device, as well as detection of the required parameters of the liquid cooling circuit by the testing components. It eliminates the need to install corresponding detectors for different parameters, making the testing operation convenient.

[0006] According to some embodiments of this application, the second conduit includes a first branch and a second branch. The first branch and the second branch are connected in parallel between a third port and a fourth port, and the third port and the fourth port are configured to selectively communicate with one of the first branch and the second branch. A detection element for gas detection is installed in the first branch.

[0007] In the above embodiments, the gas detection device is installed only on the first branch, so that when the integrated detection system detects the liquid-cooled circuit, the liquid in the liquid-cooled circuit flows to the second branch, thereby protecting the gas detection device on the first branch.

[0008] According to some embodiments of this application, the first port is configured to receive gas supplied by a supply device, the integrated circuit further includes a port valve, and the detection element includes a pressure detector. The port valve and the pressure detector are sequentially arranged in the first branch along the gas flow direction. The port valve controls the connection and disconnection between the first branch and the fourth port, and the pressure detector is configured to detect the gas pressure flowing through the first branch.

[0009] In the above embodiment, when the port valve is closed, the gas cannot be discharged from the fourth port, causing the gas to be continuously injected into the liquid cooling circuit. Based on the gas pressure value detected by the gas pressure detector on the first branch, the integrated detection system completes the gas injection operation and leak detection of the set liquid cooling circuit.

[0010] According to some embodiments of this application, the detection element includes a humidity detector disposed in a first branch and configured to detect the dryness and humidity of the first branch.

[0011] In the above embodiment, gas enters the liquid cooling circuit through the second port. Liquid, gas-liquid mixtures, or gases with high humidity within the liquid cooling circuit are heated and vaporized, or their flow is accelerated, drying the liquid cooling circuit and enabling the integrated detection system to perform the drying operation on the liquid cooling circuit. A humidity detector detects the humidity value of the gas exiting the liquid cooling circuit to the first branch, and uses this humidity value to determine the completion status of the drying operation in the liquid cooling circuit.

[0012] According to some embodiments of this application, the detection device further includes two first temperature detectors, one of which is disposed in the first pipeline and the other in the first branch.

[0013] In the above embodiment, one of the two first temperature detectors can detect the temperature of the gas in the first pipe before entering the liquid cooling circuit, and the other can detect the temperature of the gas in the first branch flowing out of the liquid cooling circuit.

[0014] According to some embodiments of this application, the second pipeline further includes a third branch, with the ends of the first and second branches opposite to the fourth port connected to both ends of the third branch. The detection element includes a first hydraulic detector, which is disposed in the third branch and used to detect the liquid pressure flowing through the third branch.

[0015] In the above embodiment, the outflowing gas (which may contain liquid) of the liquid cooling circuit first flows through the third branch and then through the second branch, so that the first hydraulic detector detects the liquid pressure value of the gas that first flows out of the liquid cooling circuit, thereby detecting the liquid content in the gas of the liquid cooling circuit, and thus determining the completion status of the liquid drainage operation of the liquid cooling circuit.

[0016] According to some embodiments of this application, the detection element includes two flow detectors, two second hydraulic detectors, and two second temperature detectors. The first pipeline and the second pipeline are respectively equipped with the flow detectors, the second hydraulic detectors, and the second temperature detectors. The flow detectors are configured to measure the flow rate of the liquid, the second hydraulic detectors are configured to detect the pressure of the liquid, and the second temperature detectors are configured to detect the temperature of the liquid.

[0017] In the above embodiment, liquid supplied by the supply device is introduced into the first port and enters the first pipeline. It then enters the liquid-cooling circuit through the second port, enters the second pipeline through the third port, and flows back to the supply device through the fourth port, putting the integrated detection system in the fourth mode. The liquid supplied by the supply device can be injected into the liquid-cooling circuit. When the hydraulic values ​​detected by the two second hydraulic detectors on the first and second pipelines are the same or the difference is within a certain range, the integrated detection system completes the liquid injection operation into the liquid-cooling circuit.

[0018] According to some embodiments of this application, the integrated circuit further includes a third pipeline and a fourth pipeline, a first valve, a second valve, a third valve, and a fourth valve. The third pipeline has a first end and a second end, with the first end connected to the first pipeline and the second end connected to the second pipeline. The third pipeline also has a third end and a fourth end, with the third end connected to the first pipeline and the fourth end connected to the second pipeline. The first valve is disposed in the first pipeline, and the first end, the first valve, and the third end are arranged sequentially along the direction of liquid flow from the first port to the second port. The second valve is disposed in the second pipeline, and the second end, the second valve, and the fourth end are arranged sequentially along the direction of liquid flow from the third port to the fourth port. The third valve is disposed in the third pipeline and is located between the first end and the second end. The fourth valve is disposed in the fourth pipeline and is located between the third end and the fourth end.

[0019] In the above embodiment, the flow path of the liquid supplied by the supply device is as follows: after entering the first pipeline, it enters the third pipeline through the first end, enters the liquid cooling circuit through the second end, enters the fourth pipeline through the third end, enters the second pipeline through the fourth end, and flows back to the supply device through the fourth port, so that the integrated detection system can perform backwashing operation on the liquid cooling circuit.

[0020] According to some embodiments of this application, one of the two flow detectors is located between the first port and the first end, and the other is located between the fourth end and the fourth port.

[0021] In the above embodiments, the flow detectors located between the first port and the first end, and between the fourth port and the fourth end, can detect the flow rate before and after entering the liquid cooling circuit when the integrated detection system performs backwashing operation on the liquid cooling circuit, so as to monitor the completion of the backwashing operation.

[0022] According to some embodiments of this application, the integrated circuit further includes a liquid storage element disposed in the first pipeline and arranged sequentially with the detection element along the liquid flow direction of the first pipeline.

[0023] In the above embodiments, the liquid is stored in a liquid storage container before entering the liquid cooling circuit and before flowing through the detection device. After a set amount of liquid is stored in the liquid storage container, the liquid flows out from the liquid storage container, passes through the detection device, and enters the liquid cooling circuit, so as to stabilize the flow of liquid passing through the detection device and entering the liquid cooling circuit, so as to avoid or reduce the instability of the liquid flow rate introduced from the first port, which would affect the measurement results of flow rate, hydraulic pressure, etc.

[0024] According to some embodiments of this application, the number of integrated loops is multiple, and the integrated detection system further includes a switching element configured to control a first port and a second port to selectively connect to a first conduit of one of the multiple integrated loops, and to control a third port and a fourth port to selectively connect to a second conduit of one of the multiple integrated loops.

[0025] In the above embodiments, the integrated detection system includes multiple integrated circuits, and different integrated circuits can measure gases and liquids, further improving the multifunctionality of the integrated detection system and enabling more comprehensive detection of liquid cooling circuits.

[0041] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

This enables the integrated testing system to perform operations such as injection or discharge of the liquid cooling circuit by the supply device, as well as detection of the required parameters of the liquid cooling circuit by the testing components. It eliminates the need to install corresponding detectors for different parameters, making the testing operation convenient.

[0044] The following section, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a detailed description of some embodiments of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this application proposes an integrated detection system. The integrated detection system is connected to a liquid cooling circuit 200 for a liquid-cooled server under test and a supply device 300. The supply device 300 can be a gas and / or liquid supply structure. The integrated detection system can check parameters in the liquid cooling circuit 200, such as temperature, humidity, pressure, flow rate, etc., and can selectively perform operations such as cleaning, liquid injection, liquid drainage, drying, gas filling, and leak detection of the liquid cooling circuit 200. The gas can be air, clean and dry air, nitrogen, etc., and the liquid can be water, cleaning fluid, coolant, etc.

[0046] First Embodiment

[0047] The integrated detection system can detect only the gas in the liquid cooling circuit 200, for example, the integrated detection system 100a provided in the first embodiment of this application.

[0048] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The integrated detection system 100a includes a housing 10 and an integrated circuit 20a disposed within the housing 10. The housing 10 has a first port 101, a second port 102, a third port 103, and a fourth port 104. The first port 101 and the fourth port 104 are connected to the inlet and outlet of the supply device 300; specifically, the first port 101 is connected to the outlet of the supply device 300, and the fourth port 104 is connected to the inlet of the supply device 300. The second port 102 and the third port 103 are connected to the inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling circuit 200; specifically, the second port 102 is connected to the inlet of the liquid cooling circuit 200, and the third port 103 is connected to the outlet of the liquid cooling circuit 200. Gas is supplied through the first port 101. The first port 101 receives the gas supplied by the supply device 300.

[0049] The integrated circuit 20a includes a first conduit 21a, a second conduit 23a, and a detection element 24a. The first conduit 21a is connected between the first port 101 and the second port 102, and the second conduit 23a is connected between the third port 103 and the fourth port 104, so that the supply device 300, the liquid cooling circuit 200, and the integrated circuit 20a form a circulation loop.

[0050] The detection element 24a can be installed in one or both of the first pipeline 21a and the second pipeline 23a according to the detection needs, and has at least one of the functions of temperature, flow rate, pressure or humidity detection. This enables the integrated detection system 100a to perform operations such as injection or discharge of the liquid cooling circuit 200 by the supply device 300, and detection of the required parameters of the liquid cooling circuit 200 by the detection element 24a. It eliminates the need to install corresponding detectors for different parameters, making the detection operation convenient.

[0051] In one embodiment, the second conduit 23a includes a first branch 231 and a second branch 233. The first branch 231 and the second branch 233 are connected in parallel between a third port 103 and a fourth port 104. The third port 103 and the fourth port 104 are configured to selectively communicate with one of the first branch 231 and the second branch 233. A detection element 24a for gas detection is installed in the first branch 231.

[0052] The gas detection element 24a is installed only on the first branch 231, so that when the integrated detection system 100a detects the liquid-cooled circuit 200, the liquid in the liquid-cooled circuit 200 flows to the second branch 233, thereby protecting the gas detection element 24a on the first branch 231.

[0053] Please continue reading. Figure 4 and Figure 5 A first switching valve 2311 is provided on the first branch 231, and a second switching valve 2331 is provided on the second branch 233. When the first switching valve 2311 is closed and the second switching valve 2331 is open, the third port 103 and the fourth port 104 are connected to the second branch 233, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown. When the first switch valve 2311 is open and the second switch valve 2331 is closed, the third port 103 and the fourth port 104 are connected to the first branch 231, as shown. Figure 5 As shown.

[0054] It is understood that in other embodiments, the first switching valve 2311 and the second switching valve 2331 may also be omitted, and a three-way valve is provided at the junction of the first branch 231, the second branch 233 and the third port 103 to control the third port 103 to selectively connect with the first branch 231 or the second branch 233.

[0055] Typically, draining the liquid before testing the liquid-cooled circuit 200 helps protect the gas detection component 24a used in the integrated testing system 100a during ventilation testing, and also improves the detection accuracy of the detection component 24a. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the first switching valve 2311 is closed and the second switching valve 2331 is open, putting the integrated detection system 100a in the first mode. Gas introduced through the first port 101 enters the first pipeline 21a and then the liquid cooling circuit 200, causing the liquid in the liquid cooling circuit 200 to flow into the second branch 233 of the second pipeline 23a, and then into the supply device 300 through the fourth port 104. It is understood that the integrated detection system 100a may also include a filter (not shown) for filtering the liquid and allowing air to pass through, so that dry gas enters the supply device 300.

[0056] It is understood that in other embodiments, the fourth port 104 may also be connected to an external environment, which may be an air environment or a device for storing gas that filters liquid.

[0057] In one embodiment, the detection element 24a further includes a first hydraulic detector 244. The second pipeline 23a further includes a third pipeline 25. The ends of the first branch 231 and the second branch 233 opposite to the fourth port 104 and the third port 103 are connected to the two ends of the third branch 235. The first hydraulic detector 244 is disposed in the third branch 235 and is used to detect the liquid pressure flowing through the third branch 235. The outflowing gas (which may contain liquid) of the liquid cooling circuit 200 first flows through the third branch 235 and then flows through the second branch 233, so that the first hydraulic detector 244 detects the liquid pressure value of the gas that first flows out of the liquid cooling circuit 200, thereby detecting the liquid content in the gas in the liquid cooling circuit 200, and thus determining the completion status of the liquid drainage operation of the liquid cooling circuit 200.

[0058] It is understood that in other embodiments, the completion status of the drainage operation can be determined by the integrated detection system 100a in other ways. For example, when the integrated detection system 100a is performing the drainage operation in the first mode, the integrated detection system 100a is set to complete the drainage operation when the drainage reaches the set time.

[0059] Please see Figure 5 The integrated circuit 20a also includes a port valve 1001. The port valve 1001 controls the on / off state of the first branch 231 and the fourth port 104. The pressure detector 241 is configured to detect the pressure of the gas flowing through the first branch 231. The detection element 24a includes the pressure detector 241. The port valve 1001 and the pressure detector 241 are sequentially arranged in the first branch 231 along the gas flow direction. The pressure detector 241 is located between the first switching valve 2311 and the port valve 1001 to prevent the liquid in the liquid-cooled circuit 200 from directly contacting the gas detector.

[0060] Port valve 1001 is closed, disconnecting the first branch 231 from the fourth port 104. The second switch valve 2331 is closed and the first switch valve 2311 is opened, putting the integrated detection system 100a into the second mode. Gas is introduced into the first pipeline 21a through the first port 101, flows through the liquid cooling circuit 200, and then enters the first branch 231.

[0061] When the integrated detection system 100a is in the second mode, it can complete leak detection and gas injection. Specifically, the gas supplied by the supply device 300 is introduced into the first port 101 and sequentially enters the first pipeline 21a, the liquid cooling circuit 200, and the first branch 231 of the second pipeline 23a. Since the gas cannot be discharged from the fourth port 104, it is continuously injected into the liquid cooling circuit 200. When the pressure value detected by the pressure detector 241 on the first branch 231 reaches a first set value, the gas injection operation of the liquid cooling circuit 200 is completed. Alternatively, when the change in pressure value detected by the pressure detector 241 on the first branch 231 within a certain time is less than or not greater than a second set value, the liquid cooling circuit 200 is set to be leak-free, and the leak detection of the liquid cooling circuit 200 is completed. The gas injection operation can be the injection of cold air, dry air, or nitrogen into the liquid cooling circuit 200.

[0062] Please see Figure 6The first switching valve 2311 is opened, the second switching valve 2331 is closed, and the port valve 1001 is opened, putting the integrated detection system 100a into the third mode. The detection component 24a also includes a humidity detector 242. The humidity detector 242 is located in the first branch 231 and configured to detect the humidity of the first branch 231. Gas supplied by the supply device 300 at a set pressure and temperature, such as dry clean air, is introduced into the first port 101. The gas enters the liquid-cooled circuit 200 through the second port 102. Liquid, gas-liquid mixtures, or gases with high humidity within the liquid-cooled circuit 200 are heated and vaporized, or their flow is accelerated, drying the liquid-cooled circuit 200 and enabling the integrated detection system 100a to perform a drying operation on the liquid-cooled circuit 200. The humidity detector 242 detects the humidity value of the gas exiting the liquid-cooled circuit 200 to the first branch 231, and determines the degree of dryness of the liquid-cooled circuit 200 based on the humidity value, thereby determining the completion status of the drying operation of the integrated detection system 100a.

[0063] It is understood that in other embodiments, a heating structure may also be provided in the integrated circuit 20a to heat the gas in the first pipe 21a, so that the gas reaches the set temperature before entering the liquid cooling circuit 200 through the second port 102.

[0064] In one embodiment, the humidity detector 242 is located between the port valve 1001 and the fourth port 104. When the port valve 1001 is closed, the integrated detection system 100a is in the second mode, performing leak detection and gas injection operations. The humidity detector 242 is not required to detect dryness and humidity, and the gas does not pass through the humidity detector 242, reducing the wear and tear on the humidity detector 242.

[0065] In one embodiment, the detection element 24a further includes two first temperature detectors 243. The two first temperature detectors 243 are respectively disposed in the first pipe 21a and the first branch 231. One side of the two first temperature detectors 243 can detect the temperature of the gas in the first pipe 21a before entering the liquid cooling circuit 200, and the other side can detect the temperature of the gas in the first branch 231 flowing out of the liquid cooling circuit 200.

[0066] In one embodiment, the first temperature detector 243 and the pressure detector 241 are both located between the first switching valve 2311 and the port valve 1001. The first switching valve 2311 is opened to allow the third port 103 to introduce the gas (which may contain liquid) discharged from the liquid cooling circuit 200, so as to protect the temperature detector and the pressure detector 241 used for gas detection.

[0067] Second Embodiment

[0068] The integrated detection system can detect only the liquid in the liquid cooling circuit 200, for example, the integrated detection system 100b provided in the second embodiment of this application.

[0069] Please see Figure 7 The integrated detection system 100b has a structure that is largely the same as the integrated detection system 100a provided in the first embodiment, except that the integrated circuit 20b in the first embodiment has a different structure than the integrated circuit 20a in the second embodiment.

[0070] Liquid flows through the first port 101, the second port 102, the third port 103, and the fourth port 104. The supply device 300 is capable of supplying liquid. The detection element 24b includes two flow detectors 245, two second hydraulic detectors 246, and two second temperature detectors 247. The first pipeline 21b and the second pipeline 23b are respectively equipped with the flow detectors 245, the second hydraulic detectors 246, and the second temperature detectors 247. The flow detectors 245 are configured to measure the flow rate of the liquid. The second hydraulic detectors 246 are configured to detect the pressure of the liquid. The second temperature detectors 247 are configured to detect the temperature of the liquid.

[0071] Please see Figure 8 The liquid supplied by the supply device 300 is introduced into the first port 101 and enters the first pipeline 21b. It enters the liquid cooling circuit 200 through the second port 102, enters the second pipeline 23b through the third port 103, and flows back to the supply device 300 through the fourth port 104, so that the integrated detection system 100b is in the fourth mode.

[0072] The liquid supplied by the supply device 300 can be injected into the liquid cooling circuit 200. When the hydraulic values ​​detected by the two second hydraulic detectors 246 on the first pipe 21b and the second pipe 23b are the same or the difference is within a certain range, the integrated detection system 100b completes the liquid injection operation into the liquid cooling circuit 200. The liquid supplied by the supply device 300 can be coolant.

[0073] In one embodiment, the integrated circuit 20b further includes a liquid storage element 27. The liquid storage element 27 is disposed in the first pipeline 21b and is arranged sequentially with the detection element 24b along the liquid flow direction of the first pipeline 21b. Before entering the liquid cooling circuit 200 and before flowing through the detection element 24b, the liquid is first stored in the liquid storage element 27. After storing a set amount of liquid in the liquid storage element 27, the liquid flows out from the liquid storage element 27, passes through the detection element 24b, and enters the liquid cooling circuit 200, thereby stabilizing the liquid flow through the detection element 24b and into the liquid cooling circuit 200, so as to avoid or reduce the instability of the liquid flow rate introduced from the first port 101, which would affect the measurement results such as flow rate and hydraulic pressure.

[0074] When the integrated detection system 100b is in the fourth mode, it can also perform forward cleaning of the liquid cooling circuit 200. For example, the supply device 300 provides cleaning solutions such as water, deionized water (DI water), and treated water. The cleaning solution flows through the first pipe 21b, the liquid cooling circuit 200, and the second pipe 23b, circulating for cleaning. The integrated detection system 100b can complete the forward cleaning of the liquid cooling circuit 200 by setting the liquid flow rate. Alternatively, the detection element 24b includes a cleanliness detector (not shown) and uses the detector to detect the cleanliness of the liquid in the second pipe 23b to determine the completion status of the forward cleaning of the liquid cooling circuit 200.

[0075] When the integrated testing system 100b is in the fourth mode, it can test the parameters of the liquid cooling circuit 200. For example, based on the pressure value measured by the second hydraulic detector 246 and the temperature value measured by the second temperature detector 247, the pressure value and temperature value of the liquid cooling circuit 200 are determined, so that the integrated testing system 100b can complete the measurement operation of the liquid cooling circuit 200.

[0076] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9 In one embodiment, the integrated circuit 20b further includes a third pipe 25 and a fourth pipe 26, a first valve 1002, a second valve 1003, a third valve 1004, and a fourth valve 1005. The third pipe 25 has a first end 251 and a second end 253, with the first end 251 connected to the first pipe 21b and the second end 253 connected to the second pipe 23b. The fourth pipe 26 has a third end 261 and a fourth end 263, with the third end 261 connected to the first pipe 21b and the fourth end 263 connected to the second pipe 23b. The first valve 1002 is disposed in the first pipe 21b, and the first end 251, the first valve 1002, and the third end 261 are arranged sequentially along the direction of liquid flow from the first port 101 to the second port 102. The second valve 1003 is disposed in the second pipeline 23b, and the second end 253, the second valve 1003, and the fourth end 263 are arranged sequentially in the direction of liquid flow from the third end 261 to the fourth port 104. The third valve 1004 is disposed in the third pipeline 25 and is located between the first end 251 and the second end 253. The fourth valve 1005 is disposed in the fourth pipeline 26 and is located between the third end 261 and the fourth end 263.

[0077] When the third valve 1004 and the fourth valve 1005 are closed, and the first valve 1002 and the second valve 1003 are open, the liquid flows sequentially through the first pipe 21b and the second pipe 23b, and the integrated detection system 100b is in the fourth mode, such as... Figure 8 As shown.

[0078] When the third valve 1004 and the fourth valve 1005 are open, and the first valve 1002 and the second valve 1003 are closed, the liquid flows sequentially through a portion of the first pipe 21b, the third pipe 25, the fourth pipe 26, and a portion of the second pipe 23b. The integrated detection system 100b is in its fifth mode, as shown below. Figure 9 As shown.

[0079] Please see Figure 9 The flow path of the liquid supplied by the supply device 300 through the first port 101 is as follows: after entering the first pipe 21b, it enters the third pipe 25 through the first end 251, enters the liquid cooling circuit 200 through the second end 253, enters the fourth pipe 26 through the third end 261, enters the second pipe 23b through the fourth end 263, and flows back to the supply device 300 through the fourth port 104. The direction of the liquid flow through the liquid cooling circuit 200 is the same as... Figure 8 The liquid flows in the opposite direction through the liquid cooling circuit 200, enabling the integrated detection system 100b to perform a backwashing operation on the liquid cooling circuit 200.

[0080] It is understood that in other embodiments, the third pipe 25 and the fourth pipe 26 may also be omitted.

[0081] One of the two flow detectors 245 is located between the first port 101 and the first end 251, and the other is located between the fourth port 104 and the fourth end 263. The flow detector 245 located between the first port 101 and the first end 251 and the flow detector 245 located between the fourth port 104 and the fourth end 263 can detect the flow rate before and after entering the liquid cooling circuit 200 when the integrated detection system 100b performs a backwash operation on the liquid cooling circuit 200, so as to monitor the completion of the backwash operation.

[0082] In one embodiment, the second hydraulic detector 246 and the second temperature detector 247 are combined into the same structure. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the second hydraulic detector 246 and the second temperature detector 247 may also be two separate and independent structures.

[0083] Third Embodiment

[0084] The integrated detection system can simultaneously detect liquids and gases in the liquid cooling circuit 200, for example, the integrated detection system 100c provided in the third embodiment of this application.

[0085] Please see Figure 10The integrated detection system 100c includes a housing 10 and multiple integrated loops. The integrated detection system 100c also includes a switching element 28. The switching element 28 is configured to control a first port 101 and a second port 102 to selectively connect to a first conduit of one of the multiple integrated loops, and to control a third port 103 and a fourth port 104 to selectively connect to a second conduit of one of the multiple integrated loops.

[0086] In one embodiment, there are two integrated circuits, one for gas and the other for liquid. The two integrated circuits are integrated circuit 20c and integrated circuit 20d. Integrated circuit 20c has a structure substantially the same as integrated circuit 20a in the first embodiment, and integrated circuit 20d has a structure substantially the same as integrated circuit 20b in the second embodiment. The first conduit 21c of integrated circuit 20c and the first conduit 21d of integrated circuit 20d are connected in parallel between the first port 101 and the second port 102. The second conduit 23c of integrated circuit 20c and the second conduit 23d of integrated circuit 20d are connected in parallel between the third port 103 and the fourth port 104.

[0087] The switching component 28 includes a first switching valve 281, a second switching valve 283, a third switching valve 285, and a fourth switching valve 287. The first switching valve 281 is located in the first pipe 21c of the integrated circuit 20c, and the second switching valve 283 is located in the first pipe 21d of the integrated circuit 20d. The third switching valve 285 is located in the second pipe 23c of the integrated circuit 20c, and the fourth switching valve 287 is located in the second pipe 23d of the integrated circuit 20d.

[0088] Please see Figure 11 The first switching valve 281 is open, the second switching valve 283 is closed, the third switching valve 285 is open, and the fourth switching valve 287 is closed, making the integrated circuit 20c a gas flow circuit. A port valve 1001 is located in the second pipe 23c of the integrated circuit 20c. The detection element 24c also includes a third temperature detector 248. The third temperature detector 248 is located at the junction of the second pipe 23c of the integrated circuit 20c and the second pipe 23d of the integrated circuit 20d.

[0089] When port valve 1001 is closed, the integrated detection system 100c can perform leak detection and gas injection operations on the liquid cooling circuit 200. When port valve 1001 is open, the integrated detection system 100c can perform gas parameter measurement of the liquid cooling circuit 200 (e.g., gas pressure detected by gas pressure detector 241, temperature detected by gas-liquid dual-purpose third temperature detector 248, etc.), as well as drying and liquid drainage operations.

[0090] Please see Figure 12The first switching valve 281 is closed, the second switching valve 283 is open, the third switching valve 285 is closed, and the fourth switching valve 287 is open. The integrated circuit 20d is a liquid flow circuit. The integrated detection system 100c can perform cleaning operations, liquid injection operations, and liquid parameter measurements of the liquid cooling circuit 200 (e.g., hydraulic pressure detected by the second hydraulic detector 246 and flow rate detected by the flow detector 245).

[0091] It is understood that in other embodiments, the switching element 28 can also be a three-way valve. For example, a three-way valve can be provided at the first port 101, which controls the first port 101 to selectively connect the first pipe 21c of the integrated circuit 20c or the first pipe 21d of the integrated circuit 20d; or another three-way valve can be provided at the third port 103, which controls the third port 103 to selectively connect the second pipe 23c of the integrated circuit 20c or the second pipe 23d of the integrated circuit 20d.

[0092] The number and location of the detection elements in the integrated circuit 20a can be set according to the application environment, for example, depending on the different requirements of the parameters to be measured in the liquid cooling circuit 200, gas testing, liquid testing, etc.

[0093] The integrated detection system 100c includes multiple integrated loops, and different integrated loops can measure gases and liquids, further improving the multi-functionality of the integrated detection system 100c and enabling more comprehensive detection of the liquid cooling circuit 200.

[0094] It is understood that in other embodiments, the integrated circuit 20a in the first embodiment and the integrated circuit 20b in the second embodiment can also be simultaneously disposed in a housing 10, and the first port 101, the second port 102, the third port 103 and the fourth port 104 can be selectively connected to the integrated circuit 20a or the integrated circuit 20b by means of a switching device.

[0095] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this application without departing from the spirit and substance of the technical solutions of this application.
