Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details a detachable immersion unit provided in this application through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0032] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 This invention provides a detachable immersion bath unit. The detachable immersion bath unit includes: an immersion tank 109, a liquid circulation assembly, and a heat dissipation assembly. The immersion tank 109 houses a server 103; a liquid supply structure is located at the bottom of the immersion tank 109; the liquid supply structure is connected to a collection box 101; the liquid circulation assembly includes a first circulation pump 105 and a collection structure 106, the first circulation pump 105 being connected to the collection structure 106; the heat dissipation assembly is independently located relative to the immersion tank 109; the heat dissipation assembly is connected to the liquid circulation assembly via a connecting pipe 202; and to the collection box 101 via another connecting pipe 202. The first circulation pump 105 drives the immersion liquid to flow into the collection structure 106, then through the connecting pipe 202 into the heat dissipation assembly for heat dissipation, and then the immersion liquid flows from the heat dissipation assembly into the collection box 101 via the connecting pipe 202 and finally into the immersion tank 109 through the liquid supply structure.

[0033] As one specific implementation of this utility model, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The heat dissipation assembly includes a heat sink body 203 and a fan 204. One end of the heat sink body 203 is connected to a liquid circulation assembly via a connecting pipe 202; the other end is connected to a liquid collection box 101 via another connecting pipe 202. The fan 204 draws air from the heat sink body 203 and blows it into free space in a preset direction.

[0034] As one specific implementation of this utility model, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The radiator body 203 is fixed inside the radiator frame 205. The radiator frame 205 protects the radiator body 203. Specifically, the radiator frame 205 is mainly used to protect the finned tube structure inside the radiator body 203, preventing the fins from being deformed by compression and impact.

[0035] In some feasible embodiments, the shape of the heat sink frame 205 is adapted to the shape of the heat sink body 203. The heat sink frame 205 is a frame structure (i.e., a skeleton structure) assembled from multiple relatively rigid metal strips or angle irons. In any feasible embodiment, the heat sink body 203 is a rectangular structure. The heat sink frame 205 is a rectangular frame. The fan 204 is connected and fixed to the heat sink frame 205. Multiple buffer springs are arranged on the rectangular frame. When the heat sink body 203 is fixed inside the heat sink frame 205, the side of the heat sink body 203 abuts against the end of the buffer spring facing away from the heat sink frame 205.

[0036] In some feasible embodiments, a plurality of damping pads 207 are provided on the heat sink frame 205. The damping pads 207 have shock absorption and noise reduction functions. The use of damping pads 207 also ensures that there is a suitable gap between the heat sink body 203 and the external structure. This ensures that air can flow into the side of the heat sink body 203 that is close to the external structure.

[0037] In some feasible embodiments, the heat dissipation assembly further includes a mounting bracket 206 connected to the heat sink frame 205. The mounting bracket 206 facilitates the detachable connection of the heat dissipation assembly to an external structure.

[0038] In any feasible embodiment, the mounting lug 206 consists of a fixing bolt and a metal bracket. The metal bracket is fixed to the radiator frame by the fixing bolt, and a suitable metal bracket can be replaced or customized according to the window or exterior wall 208. Specifically, the flat mounting lug designed to match the window structure can achieve the effect of not affecting the opening and closing of the window, and does not require expansion screws to be drilled into the exterior wall, making deployment convenient and quick. The shock-absorbing pad 207 is a single unit made of rubber pad. The shock-absorbing pad 207 has a root structure that can be inserted into the shock-absorbing hole of the radiator frame, similar to the structure of a car door shock-absorbing pad. After being inserted into the shock-absorbing hole, it will not fall off automatically and requires a certain amount of force to pull out. In addition to its shock-absorbing and noise-eliminating functions, the shock-absorbing pad 207 also has the function of maintaining a suitable gap between the radiator body 203 and the exterior wall 208 / exterior window, thereby ensuring that air can flow into the wall side of the radiator body 203. The fan 204 draws air from the radiator body 203 and blows it into the free space away from the exterior wall 208.

[0039] As one specific implementation of this utility model, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4The immersion chamber 109 is equipped with a partition 108 that divides the internal cavity into an immersion chamber area 100 and an equipment area 200. A heat dissipation assembly is located in the heat dissipation area 300; a liquid supply structure is located at the bottom of the immersion chamber area 100; the immersion chamber area 100 is used to accommodate the server 103; a liquid collection box 101 is located in the equipment area 200 and is connected to the liquid supply structure; a liquid circulation assembly is located in the equipment area 200. The first circulation pump 105 drives the immersion liquid into the liquid collection structure 106, then flows into the heat dissipation assembly, then into the liquid collection box 101, and then into the bottom of the immersion chamber area 100 via the liquid supply structure. The low-temperature immersion liquid passes through the server 103 and carries away the heat it dissipates, becoming a higher-temperature immersion liquid. Under the restriction inside the enclosure, it flows through the filter screen 104 and enters the equipment area 200, where it is drawn away again by the first circulation pump 105, enters the liquid collection structure 106, and then enters the heat dissipation assembly via the connecting pipe 202. The heat dissipation assembly uses the fan 204 to drive air to cool the immersion liquid. The heat dissipation assembly has a heat dissipation frame 205 for supporting and protecting the heat dissipation body 203, and a mounting lug 206 for mounting on an external wall 208 or window. The side of the heat dissipation assembly close to the wall has a shock-absorbing pad 207.

[0040] It should be noted that the length of the connecting pipe 202 can be selected and configured according to customer requirements. The immersion liquid is a non-conductive liquid, which can be fluorinated liquid, silicone oil, hydrocarbon synthetic oil, etc.

[0041] In any feasible embodiment, the first circulation pump 105 is connected and fixed to the heat dissipation assembly. Specifically, the first circulation pump 105 is installed inside or on the upper part of the radiator frame 205, thereby achieving zero moving parts on the indoor side and extreme quietness. The first circulation pump 105 is connected to the internal space of the equipment area 200 through a pipeline.

[0042] In any feasible embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The equipment area 200 has a structure on its side that matches the mounting ears 206, allowing the radiator to be directly hung on the side of the equipment section. The radiator body 203 can be connected to the equipment area 200 to meet the needs of different scenarios, especially in winter when it can be placed indoors to provide room heating. Specifically, the radiator body 203 is connected to the equipment area 200 of the immersion tank 109 via the mounting ears 206. The fan 204 is located outdoors, and the radiator body 203 is connected to the fan 204 via the radiator air guide shroud 2301 and air duct. This embodiment further reduces the weight of the outdoor hanging part. The main noise source, the fan, is placed outdoors. In summer, it can exhaust air outwards, and in winter, it can reverse to deliver air indoors. It can be flexibly adjusted or automatically controlled according to the room and outdoor temperatures, meeting the heat dissipation needs of the server immersion enclosure while considering the air conditioning needs of the indoor environment.

[0043] It is especially suitable for rooms that require fresh air, as it can achieve energy conservation and emission reduction by combining fresh air needs. For example, when fresh air is needed in winter, the system can preheat the fresh air when drawing air into the room, reducing the energy required for room heating; in summer, the introduction of fresh air will inevitably lead to the exhaust of some air. By drawing this air out through the system, the lower room air temperature can be taken advantage of, achieving better heat dissipation while exhausting air.

[0044] As one specific implementation of this utility model, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The liquid supply structure includes a liquid distribution pipe 112 connected to the liquid collection box 101 and a liquid distribution port 113 provided on the liquid distribution pipe 112; the liquid distribution pipe 112 is a gradually narrowing flow channel structure; that is, the cross-sectional area of ​​the liquid distribution pipe 112 gradually decreases from the end close to the liquid collection box 101 to the end away from the liquid collection box 101.

[0045] In some feasible embodiments, either side of the dispensing tube 112 is a slope. One end of the dispensing tube 112 that connects to the collection box 101 is the connecting end. The other end is the closed end. The cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting end is larger than that of the closed end. Specifically, the cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting end is the largest, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the closed end is the smallest. The slope is designed to ensure that the cross-sectional area gradually decreases from the first segment to the closed end.

[0046] In some feasible embodiments, the dispensing tube 112 is shaped like a right trapezoid. The connecting end is the upper base of the right trapezoid, and the closed end is the lower base of the right trapezoid. The dispensing tube 112 is provided with a plurality of dispensing ports 113 at equal intervals from the connecting end to the closed end.

[0047] In some feasible embodiments, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The dispensing ports 113 are evenly distributed on the dispensing tube 112 at equal intervals according to the number of servers 103. Each dispensing port 113 includes multiple connecting holes 114. Specifically, the multiple connecting holes 114 are clustered together to form the dispensing port 113.

[0048] It should be noted that the number of connecting holes 114 in each liquid outlet 113 can be the same or different.

[0049] In any feasible embodiment, each dispensing port 113 has the same number of connecting holes 114. Having the same number of connecting holes 114 already achieves a good flow equalization effect. Specifically, the dispensing port 113 is rectangular in shape. Each dispensing port 113 comprises 12 connecting holes 114. Specifically, the 12 connecting holes 114 are equally divided into two rows, with adjacent connecting holes 114 spaced evenly apart.

[0050] In any feasible embodiment, the liquid dispensing port 113 includes a first liquid dispensing port and a second liquid dispensing port. The first liquid dispensing port and the second liquid dispensing port include different numbers of connecting holes 114.

[0051] In some feasible embodiments, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The liquid collection box 101 is equipped with a guide plate 111. The liquid collection box 101 has a pressure stabilizing function to ensure a continuous and stable liquid supply to the dispensing pipe 112.

[0052] In any feasible embodiment, two distribution pipes 112 are provided. One distribution pipe 112 is located at the upper end of one side of the collection box 101. The other distribution pipe 112 is located at the lower end of the same side of the collection box 101. Through the cooperation of the collection box 101 and the guide plate 111, the two liquids can be split, and the flow difference between the two fluids is less than 5%.

[0053] As one specific implementation of this utility model, please refer to the following: Figures 2 to 5 The liquid circulation assembly also includes a heat exchanger 107. One end of the heat exchanger 107 is connected to the liquid collection structure 106, and the other end is connected to the liquid collection box 101. The heat exchanger 107 is connected to the radiator body 203 through two connecting pipes 202. A second circulation pump 201 is provided on either connecting pipe 202. The heat exchanger 107 is used to exchange heat with the heat dissipation assembly. In any feasible embodiment, the heat exchanger 107 is a plate heat exchanger. The heat exchanger 107 is used to perform heat exchange, transferring the heat generated by the server inside the enclosure to the coolant through the immersion liquid, and finally releasing it to the external environment through the radiator body 203. The working principle is as follows: two fluids exchange heat within it, flowing past both sides of the metal wall, the cold fluid becomes hot and the hot fluid becomes cold. In this embodiment, the heat dissipation assembly includes: the radiator body 203 and a fan 204. One end of the radiator body 203 is connected to the heat exchanger 107 via a connecting pipe 202; the other end is connected to the heat exchanger 107 via another connecting pipe 202. A second circulation pump 201 is provided on either connecting pipe 202. The fan 204 draws air from the radiator body 203 and blows it into free space in a preset direction.

[0054] This utility model provides a detachable immersion unit with a more reasonable structural design compared to existing technologies. The placement and connection of the first circulation pump 105, the radiator body 203, and the fan 204 can be adjusted according to actual usage needs. This allows for flexible external placement of the heat dissipation components. It can be used for flexible deployment of small servers or computing equipment; when needed, the external heat dissipation components can dissipate the equipment's heat load outdoors without affecting the indoor ambient temperature.
