Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server liquid cooling pipe technology, specifically a retractable and foldable mechanical quick-connect device for server liquid cooling pipes. Background Technology

[0002] As a computing infrastructure providing data storage, processing, and distribution, servers primarily rely on air cooling for heat dissipation, using air as a refrigerant to remove heat. However, with the increasing power of computing devices and the growing demand for high-density and ultra-high-density servers, air cooling is becoming less effective. Liquid cooling, a relatively new cooling method, uses various liquids as refrigerants to exchange heat with the heat-generating components of the equipment, providing servers with a more efficient cooling experience.

[0003] Liquid cooling piping is mainly used to transfer heat from the server to the cooling equipment. It typically consists of pipes, pumps, radiators, and coolant. When using liquid cooling piping, the length of the pipes needs to be connected according to the actual situation. Often, two sets of liquid cooling pipes need to be connected. However, during the use of liquid cooling piping, different installation connector models may be different. Therefore, when installing liquid cooling piping, the entire liquid cooling pipe needs to be replaced, which is quite troublesome. Moreover, during temporary maintenance, it is inconvenient for maintenance personnel to disassemble the liquid cooling pipes, which affects the normal progress of maintenance.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a retractable and foldable mechanical quick-connect device for server liquid cooling pipelines to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
