Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field, and more particularly to a cold pipe fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the rapid development of the Internet industry, the performance requirements for various servers are becoming increasingly higher. Traditional air cooling methods are unable to meet the heat dissipation needs of high power consumption, so liquid cooling has become the main heat dissipation method for servers.

[0003] In existing technologies, the fixing of water cooling pipes inside servers usually relies on pre-set fixing holes. Since the water cooling pipes need to pass through large openings, this not only increases the risk of liquid leakage, but may also cause damage to the water cooling pipes during installation.

[0009] Furthermore, the base is provided with a mating groove, which includes an interconnected mounting groove section and a stop groove section. The extension direction of the mounting groove section and the extension direction of the stop groove section are set at an angle. When the cold pipe fixing device is installed into the server chassis, the protrusion provided in the chassis slides into the stop groove section through the mounting groove section to engage with the stop groove section for limiting.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the base has a first opening, and one end of the cover plate has a second opening; the snap-fit ​​assembly includes: a first snap-fit ​​structure disposed at the first opening, the first snap-fit ​​structure having a first semi-circular hole; a second snap-fit ​​structure disposed at the second opening, the second snap-fit ​​structure having a second semi-circular hole, the first semi-circular hole and the second semi-circular hole being connected to form a first through hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the protective structure includes: a first protective plate having a third semi-circular hole; and a second protective plate having a fourth semi-circular hole; wherein, when the protective structure is in a protective state, the first protective plate is disposed on the first snap-fit ​​structure and the second protective plate is disposed on the second snap-fit ​​structure, so that the third semi-circular hole and the fourth semi-circular hole are aligned to form a second through hole through which the cooling pipe and / or cable pass; the projection of the second through hole onto the first through hole is within the first through hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the first protective plate is provided with a first mating part, and the first snap-fit ​​structure is provided with a second mating part. One of the first mating part and the second mating part is a first protrusion, and the other of the first mating part and the second mating part is a first recess.

[0015] By applying the technical solution of this application, the cooling pipe and cable are effectively fixed through the first and second fixing structures respectively, replacing the method of fixing the cooling pipe through fixing holes in the prior art. This ensures the stability of the cooling pipe and cable during server operation and prevents loosening or damage caused by vibration or movement.

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] To address the problem that the methods used in related technologies for fixing water-cooling pipes not only increase the risk of liquid leakage but also easily damage the water-cooling pipes, this application provides a cold pipe fixing device.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the cold pipe fixing device includes a housing 10, a fixing component, a snap-fit ​​component 50, and a protective structure 60. The housing 10 includes a base 11 and a cover plate 12, with the cover plate 12 movably covering the base 11. The fixing component includes a first fixing structure 20 and a second fixing structure 30. The first fixing structure 20 is detachably disposed for fixing the cold pipe 40 to the base 11; the second fixing structure 30 is used to fix the cable. The snap-fit ​​component 50 is disposed at one end of the housing 10 and is connected to the base 11 and the cover plate 12. The snap-fit ​​component 50 has a first through hole for the cold pipe 40 to pass through. The protective structure 60 is detachably disposed on the snap-fit ​​component 50. The protective structure 60 has a protective state in which at least part of the protective structure 60 blocks the first through hole to prevent contact with the cable and the cold pipe 40, and a detached state in which the protective structure 60 is separated from the snap-fit ​​component 50.

[0032] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the cooling pipe 40 and the cable are effectively fixed by the first fixing structure 20 and the second fixing structure 30, respectively, replacing the method of fixing the cooling pipe by fixing holes in the prior art. This ensures the stability of the cooling pipe and cable during server operation and prevents loosening or damage caused by vibration or movement. It solves the problem that the fixing method of water cooling pipe in related technologies not only increases the risk of liquid leakage but also easily damages the water cooling pipe. Due to the detachable design of the first fixing structure 20, the cooling pipe 40 can be easily removed during maintenance or upgrades without damaging the entire device or other components of the server, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance operations. At the same time, the protective structure 60 is used to protect the cable and cooling pipe 40 passing through the first through hole of the snap-fit ​​assembly 50. It not only prevents the cooling pipe and cable from directly contacting the hole wall of the first through hole and being cut or scratched, but also prevents external impurities from entering the casing 10.

[0033] In other embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the snap-fit ​​assembly is connected to the base.

[0034] In other embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the snap-fit ​​assembly is connected to the cover plate.

[0035] In other embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the first through hole is used for a cable to pass through.

[0036] In other embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the first through hole is used for cables and cold pipes to pass through.

[0037] In other embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the protective structure has a protective state in which at least part of the protective structure blocks the first through hole from contacting the cable.

[0038] In other embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the protective structure has a protective state in which at least part of the protective structure blocks the first through hole from contacting the cold pipe.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the cold pipe 40 is a rigid pipe 42, the protective structure 60 is in a disassembled state; when the cold pipe 40 is a flexible pipe 43, the protective structure 60 is in a protected state.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the first fixing structure 20 includes at least one connecting plate 21 and a first arc-shaped plate 22. At least one end of the first arc-shaped plate 22 is connected to at least one connecting plate 21, and the first arc-shaped plate 22 is used to sleeve the cold pipe 40. When the first arc-shaped plate 22 is sleeved over the cold pipe 40, the cold pipe 40 is fixed by inserting a first fastener 70 through the connecting plate 21 and the base 11. In this way, the first arc-shaped plate 22 can closely fit the outer surface of the cold pipe 40, forming a surrounding fixing structure, which can effectively disperse the pressure on the cold pipe 40, avoid excessive stress concentration at the fixing point, and thus reduce the risk of wear and leakage that may be caused by vibration or movement of the cold pipe 40 during server operation. At the same time, by inserting the first fastener 70 through the connecting plate 21 and the base 11, the fixation of the cold pipe 40 is further strengthened, ensuring its stability and safety in complex operating environments.

[0041] In this embodiment, since the first fixing structure 20 is detachable, the operator can easily remove the first fastener 70 to separate the connecting plate 21 and the base 11, thereby easily removing the first arc-shaped plate 22 for inspection, cleaning, or replacement of the cold pipe 40. This simplifies the maintenance process, reduces maintenance time, and avoids the cumbersome process of disassembling the entire chassis or replacing the entire fixing device, which may be necessary in traditional fixing methods. This reduces maintenance costs and improves server operation and maintenance efficiency.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the second fixing structure 30 includes a second arc-shaped plate 31. One end of the second arc-shaped plate 31 is connected to the base 11, and the other end of the second arc-shaped plate 31 is provided with a flange structure 32. The second arc-shaped plate 31 is used to hold the cable. In this way, the second arc-shaped plate 31 can provide a naturally curved path, allowing the cable to pass smoothly and be fixed inside the server. This design also avoids excessive stretching or bending of the cable, reducing signal loss during transmission and protecting the cable from damage caused by external mechanical pressure or friction. The flange structure 32 further enhances the cable fixing effect. By limiting the lateral movement of the cable, it avoids loosening or poor contact caused by vibration during server operation, thereby ensuring the stability of the cable connection and the reliability of signal transmission.

[0043] In this embodiment, the second fixing structure 30 provides a fixing point for the cable by connecting the second arc plate 31 to the base 11. At the same time, the adjustability of the flange structure 32 allows the operator to adjust the fixing position and tightness of the cable according to actual needs, improving the flexibility of cable management.

[0044] Optionally, the base 11 is provided with screw posts 13, and the cover plate 12 has mounting holes to connect the base 11 and the cover plate 12 by passing a second fastener 80 through the mounting holes and screw posts 13; and / or, the base 11 is provided with positioning posts 15 for limiting engagement with the cold pipe fixing block 41. In this way, the screw posts 13 on the base 11 cooperate with the mounting holes on the cover plate 12, and by passing a second fastener 80 (e.g., a screw) through the mounting holes of the cover plate and screwing it into the screw posts, a reliable fixation between the cover plate and the base is achieved. This not only ensures a tight and stable connection between the cover plate and the base, but also provides the flexibility to adjust the opening angle of the cover plate, facilitating the inspection and maintenance of internal components. Meanwhile, the positioning post 15 on the base 11 is used to accurately position the cold pipe fixing block 41, ensuring that the cold pipe fixing block can be quickly and accurately aligned with its predetermined position during installation, avoiding offset or misalignment during installation, simplifying the installation process of the cold pipe fixing block 41, improving installation accuracy and speed, helping to maintain the stability of the cold pipe 40 position, and reducing potential problems caused by cold pipe displacement during server operation.

[0045] In this embodiment, a screw post 13 is provided on the base 11, and the cover plate 12 has mounting holes to connect the base 11 and the cover plate 12 by passing a second fastener 80 through the mounting holes and the screw post 13. A positioning post 15 is provided on the base 11, which is used to limit the engagement with the cold pipe fixing block 41. In this way, by using the second fastener 80 to connect the cover plate 12 and the base 11, maintenance personnel can easily open or close the cover plate as needed without worrying about permanent damage to the fixing structure. At the same time, the cooperation between the positioning post 15 and the cold pipe fixing block 41 not only ensures the universality of the cold pipe fixing block on various cold pipe modules (such as flexible hoses and rigid pipes), but also makes the installation process of the cold pipe fixing block more intuitive and convenient, and can quickly find the correct installation position even when faced with different cold pipe specifications.

[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4As shown, the base 11 is provided with a mating groove 14, which includes an interconnected mounting groove section 141 and a stop groove section 142. The extension direction of the mounting groove section 141 and the extension direction of the stop groove section 142 are set at an angle. When the cold pipe fixing device is installed into the server chassis, the protrusion 90 provided in the chassis slides into the stop groove section 142 via the mounting groove section 141 to engage with the stop groove section 142 for limiting. In this way, through the design of the mounting groove section 141 and the stop groove section 142, the protrusion 90 can smoothly slide into the base 11 along the mounting groove section 141 until the protrusion 90 falls into the stop groove section 142, thereby realizing quick and smooth positioning and fixing between the cold pipe fixing device and the server chassis, simplifying the installation steps and improving installation efficiency. Meanwhile, the limiting function of the stop groove 142 ensures the correct position and stability of the cold pipe fixing device inside the chassis, preventing positional deviation or loosening due to improper installation, and ensuring the safety and normal functioning of the internal components of the server.

[0047] In this embodiment, the included angle between the mounting groove 141 and the stop groove 142 allows the protrusion 90 to form a stable connection with the base 11 in different directions, thereby increasing the installation flexibility of the cold pipe fixing device in the server chassis, adapting to the needs of different chassis structures and internal layouts, and improving the versatility and compatibility of the device.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, one end of the base 11 has a first opening, and one end of the cover plate 12 has a second opening; the snap-fit ​​assembly 50 includes a first snap-fit ​​structure 51 and a second snap-fit ​​structure 52. The first snap-fit ​​structure 51 is located at the first opening and has a first semi-circular hole 511. The second snap-fit ​​structure 52 is located at the second opening and has a second semi-circular hole 521. The first semi-circular hole 511 and the second semi-circular hole 521 mate to form a first through hole. Thus, the design of the first snap-fit ​​structure 51 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 52 utilizes the first semi-circular hole 511 and the second semi-circular hole 521 located at their respective openings in the base 11 and the cover plate 12. When the cover plate 12 is fastened to the base 11, the first semicircular hole 511 and the second semicircular hole 521 can be precisely aligned to form the first through hole, ensuring that the cable or cold pipe 40 will not encounter resistance or misalignment when passing through. This not only improves the installation efficiency of the cable and cold pipe, but also prevents friction damage caused by misalignment and extends the service life of the cold pipe and cable.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 6As shown, the protective structure 60 includes a first protective plate 61 and a second protective plate 62. The first protective plate 61 has a third semicircular hole 611, and the second protective plate 62 has a fourth semicircular hole. When the protective structure 60 is in its protective state, the first protective plate 61 is mounted on the first snap-fit ​​structure 51, and the second protective plate 62 is mounted on the second snap-fit ​​structure 52, so that the third semicircular hole 611 aligns with the fourth semicircular hole to form a second through hole 63 for the cooling pipe 40 and / or cable to pass through; the projection of the second through hole 63 onto the first through hole is within the first through hole. Thus, the cooperative use of the first protective plate 61 and the second protective plate 62 with the first snap-fit ​​structure 51 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 52 ensures that when the cooling pipe 40 passes through the first through hole, it no longer directly contacts the hard material surface of the base 11 or the cover plate 12, but instead contacts the softer or more elastic protective plate material, significantly reducing damage to the cooling pipe caused by mechanical wear and extending its service life. The aforementioned indirect contact design effectively prevents the cooling pipes from rubbing against the fixed device due to vibration or movement during server operation, further enhancing the durability of the cooling pipes and the stable operation of the system.

[0050] In this embodiment, when the cooling pipe 40 is a flexible hose 43, by projecting the second through hole 63 onto the first through hole into the first through hole, it is further ensured that the flexible hose 43 passing through the first through hole directly contacts the protective structure 60, thus avoiding structural damage due to direct contact with the first through hole; when the cooling pipe 40 is a rigid pipe 42, the protective structure 60 is in a disassembled state, at which time the rigid pipe 42 passes through the first through hole and can directly contact the first through hole.

[0051] Optionally, the first protective plate 61 is provided with a first mating part 612, and the first snap-fit ​​structure 51 is provided with a second mating part. One of the first mating part 612 and the second mating part is a first protrusion, and the other of the first mating part 612 and the second mating part is a first recess. The first protrusion extends into the first recess to engage with the first recess for a limiting fit. And / or, the second protective plate 62 is provided with a third mating part, and the second snap-fit ​​structure 52 is provided with a fourth mating part. One of the third and fourth mating parts is a second protrusion, and the other of the third and fourth mating parts is a second recess. The second protrusion extends into the second recess to engage with the second recess for a limiting fit. In this way, the limiting fit mechanism between the first protrusion and the first recess, and between the second protrusion and the second recess, ensures the precise fixation of the first protective plate 61 and the second protective plate 62 on the base 11 and the cover plate 12, thereby overcoming the loosening or misalignment problems that may exist in traditional fixing methods. Even vibrations generated during server operation will not cause the protective plate to fall out of its original position.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first protective plate 61 is provided with a first mating part 612, and the first snap-fit ​​structure 51 is provided with a second mating part. The first mating part 612 is a first protrusion, and the second mating part is a first recess. The first protrusion extends into the first recess to engage with the first recess for limiting engagement. The second protective plate 62 is provided with a third mating part, and the second snap-fit ​​structure 52 is provided with a fourth mating part. The third mating part is a second protrusion, and the fourth mating part is a second recess. The second protrusion extends into the second recess to engage with the second recess for limiting engagement. In this way, through the interlocking design of the protrusion and the recess, the assembly of the first protective plate 61 and the second protective plate 62 becomes extremely simple and quick. Maintenance personnel only need to align the protrusion on the protective plate with the recess on the snap-fit ​​structure and push gently, and the protective plate can be firmly fixed in the corresponding position without the need for additional screws or fasteners, greatly shortening the assembly time and reducing the maintenance difficulty.

[0053] It should be noted that the structure of the first mating part 612 and the second mating part is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to the working conditions and usage requirements. In other embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the first mating part is a first recess and the second mating part is a first protrusion, with the first protrusion extending into the first recess to engage with it.

[0054] It should be noted that the structural selection of the third and fourth mating parts is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to working conditions and usage requirements. In other embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the third mating part is a second recess, and the fourth mating part is a second protrusion, with the second protrusion extending into the second recess for a limiting fit.

[0055] Optionally, the first protective plate 61 is made of rubber or silicone; and / or, the second protective plate 62 is made of rubber or silicone. In this way, rubber and silicone, as highly elastic materials, possess excellent flexibility and resilience. When the first protective plate 61 and / or the second protective plate 62 are placed at specific positions on the base 11 and the cover plate 12, their material properties not only prevent cuts or scratches on the cooling pipe 40, but also allow for a tight fit with the cooling pipe 40, thereby establishing an effective sealing barrier around the cooling pipe 40.

[0056] In this embodiment, both the first protective plate 61 and the second protective plate 62 are made of rubber.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the cold pipe fixing device also includes a memory removal tool 100. The memory removal tool 100 is mounted on the cover plate 12 and includes a gripping part 101 and a disassembly part 102 connected to each other. The width of the disassembly part 102 is smaller than the width of the gripping part 101. This allows the memory removal tool 100 to be detachably mounted on the cover plate 12, enabling operators to remove or replace memory modules without needing to find special tools. They can simply grip the gripping part 101 and use the disassembly part 102 to remove the memory module, thus improving maintenance efficiency. The narrow width of the disassembly part 102 allows for precise insertion into the narrow gap between the memory module and the cold plate module, while the wide gripping part 101 provides sufficient leverage area, facilitating the operator's application of force and ensuring a smooth and safe memory removal process, reducing the risk of damage to the memory module or cold plate module due to improper operation.

[0058] In this embodiment, the cold pipe 40 includes an inlet pipe and a drain pipe. There are at least two first fixing structures 20, at least one of which is used to fix the inlet pipe and at least another first fixing structure 20 is used to fix the drain pipe.

[0059] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0060] The cooling pipes and cables are effectively secured using a first and second fixing structure, replacing the existing method of fixing the cooling pipes with fixed holes. This ensures the stability of the cooling pipes and cables during server operation, preventing loosening or damage caused by vibration or movement. It also solves the problem that the fixing methods for water-cooled pipes in related technologies not only increase the risk of liquid leakage but also easily damage the pipes. The detachable design of the first fixing structure allows for easy removal of the cooling pipes during maintenance or upgrades without damaging the entire device or other server components, significantly improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance operations. Simultaneously, the protective structure protects the cables and cooling pipes passing through the first through-hole of the snap-fit ​​assembly, preventing direct contact between the cooling pipes and / or cables and the hole wall, thus avoiding cuts or scratches, and also preventing external impurities from entering the casing.

[0061] This document uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to this application without departing from the principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this application.
