Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid cooling equipment installation technology, and more specifically, to an installation structure for a liquid cooling device for a computing node processor. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid cooling devices for compute node processors are a highly efficient heat dissipation solution for high-power chips (such as AI accelerators, GPUs / CPUs). They absorb heat directly or indirectly through liquid circulation, solving the heat dissipation bottleneck of traditional air cooling at rack power densities above 20kW. Based on the type of liquid cooling technology, they are divided into cold plate liquid cooling and immersion liquid cooling. Cold plate liquid cooling uses coolant flowing through a metal cold plate (such as a copper / aluminum microchannel structure) to absorb heat by contacting the chip surface, and then exchanges heat with an external cold source through the CDU (cooling distribution unit). Immersion liquid cooling completely immerses the compute node in an insulating coolant (such as fluorinated liquid), and dissipates heat directly through liquid phase change or convection.

[0003] However, existing liquid cooling device mounting structures for computing node processors have the following problems during operation:

[0004] 1. The installation lacks a positioning structure, resulting in low installation accuracy. After installation, the structures are prone to misalignment, leading to poor stability and a risk of accidental detachment.

[0005] 2. The inability to control the installation interval according to actual needs results in significant limitations in installation.

[0006] In summary, existing liquid cooling equipment installation devices suffer from problems such as low installation accuracy and inability to control the installation interval according to actual needs. To address this, a liquid cooling device installation structure for computing node processors is disclosed. Utility Model Content

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only, representing schematic diagrams rather than actual physical objects, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. To better illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual product dimensions. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1-9 As shown, this utility model provides an installation structure for a liquid cooling device for a computing node processor, including a cabinet 10. Mounting plates 20 are provided at the front and rear ends of both sides of the cabinet 10, and a mounting post 201 is provided in the middle of the mounting plates 20. An assembly plate 30 is detachably provided on the end face of the mounting post 201 near the interior of the cabinet 10. A base plate 303 is provided at the bottom of the assembly plate 30, and a liquid cooling box 40 is provided at the top of the base plate 303. Partitions 401 are provided on both sides inside the liquid cooling box 40, and a fixing plate 50 is slidably mounted inside the partitions 401. A fixing protrusion 501 is fixed at the front end of the fixing plate 50, and through slots 60 are provided on both sides of the liquid cooling box 40 to accommodate the passing of the fixing protrusion 501.

[0031] The liquid cooling device mounting structure for the computing node processor of this utility model has four mounting plates 20 that can be detachably installed on both sides of the cabinet 10. The mounting plate 30 is fixed on the mounting plate 20 by mounting posts 201. Relevant personnel can control the number of mounting plates 30 according to actual needs, and can also control the spacing between adjacent mounting plates 30. When relevant personnel are installing the liquid cooling box 40, the bottom plate 303 of the upper mounting plate 30 can limit the liquid cooling box 40. This limiting function provides convenience for relevant personnel to install the liquid cooling box 40. In addition, after the liquid cooling box 40 is installed in the designated position, the fixing protrusion 501 on the fixing plate 50 can be locked on the mounting plate 30 to fix the liquid cooling box 40, thereby effectively preventing the liquid cooling box 40 from shaking during operation. Overall, it ensures that the various structures are in a stable state, which helps the normal operation of the equipment and extends its service life, among other positive effects.

[0032] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the mounting post 201 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 203 around the positioning groove 202, and the assembly plate 30 is provided with at least two second mounting holes 302 on the side near the mounting post 201, and the second mounting holes 302 are arranged adjacent to the positioning block 301.

[0033] When installing the assembly plate 30, the relevant personnel can insert the positioning block 301 into the positioning groove 202. After the positioning block 301 is inserted into the positioning groove 202, the initial positioning of the assembly plate 30 can be completed quickly, avoiding offset during the installation process and improving installation efficiency. At the same time, it ensures the alignment accuracy between the second mounting hole 302 and the first mounting hole 203 during the installation process, reducing deviation problems during bolt installation.

[0034] Furthermore, in another embodiment, a fixing groove 304 is provided in the middle of the front end of the assembly plate 30, and the partition plate 401 is connected to the fixing plate 50 by at least two limiting springs 402. The rear end of the fixing protrusion 501 is chamfered for guiding the assembly of the fixing plate 50.

[0035] When installing the liquid cooling box 40, the relevant personnel can first place the liquid cooling box 40 on the base plate 303 of the mounting plate 30, and then push the liquid cooling box 40 towards the inside of the cabinet 10. During this movement, the fixing protrusion 501 will gradually approach the side wall of the mounting plate 30. When it contacts the side wall of the mounting plate 30, it will be squeezed by the side wall, thereby applying pressure to the limit spring 402 in the direction away from the mounting plate 30. At the same time, the fixing protrusion 501 itself also moves away from the mounting plate 30. When the fixing protrusion 501 moves to the position of the fixing groove 304 set at the front end of the assembly plate 30, the fixing protrusion 501 will disengage from the side wall of the assembly plate 30. At the moment of disengagement, the previously compressed limit spring 402 will start to reset. During the reset process, it will push the fixing protrusion 501 to move closer to the assembly plate 30. In this way, the fixing protrusion 501 can be accurately inserted into the fixing groove 304. After the fixing protrusion 501 is successfully inserted into the fixing groove 304, the installation and fixing of the liquid cooling box 40 is completed.

[0036] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the rear end of the fixing plate 50 has at least two limiting holes 502, and the rear end of the partition plate 401 is provided with at least two limiting rods 403, and the limiting rods 403 pass through the limiting holes 502.

[0037] When the fixing protrusion 501 is squeezed by the side wall of the assembly plate 30 and causes the fixing plate 50 to move, due to the presence of the limiting rod 403, the fixing plate 50 will slide synchronously along the axial direction of the limiting hole 502. The cooperation between the limiting rod 403 and the limiting hole 502 effectively prevents the fixing plate 50 from shifting or shaking during movement, ensuring that the fixing protrusion 501 can accurately dock with the fixing groove 304, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the liquid cooling box 40 installation process.

[0038] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the front end of the fixing plate 50 is provided with an external receiving plate 70.

[0039] The external receiving plate 70 is located at the front end of the fixed plate 50. It has a horizontal receiving plate that can be used to receive the external components of the liquid cooling box 40, preventing the external components of the liquid cooling box 40 from being suspended in the air, and further ensuring the stability of the connection of the liquid cooling box 40.

[0040] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the front and rear ends of the mounting plate 20 are provided with side posts 204, and the side posts 204 are provided with a plurality of through holes for mounting and fixing the mounting plate 20.

[0041] The side column 204 has through holes from top to bottom. Personnel can use bolts to fix the mounting plate 20 to the cabinet 10 through the through holes. The multiple through holes further ensure the stability of the mounting plate 20. In addition, the detachable design of the mounting plate 20 makes it convenient for personnel to replace the mounting plate 20 regularly, avoiding wear and tear on the inside of the mounting plate 20 due to long-term use, which would affect the stability of the liquid cooling box 40 installation.

[0042] Furthermore, in another embodiment, a limiting baffle 305 is provided at the rear end of the assembly plate 30.

[0043] When relevant personnel install the liquid cooling box 40 on the assembly plate 30, the limiting baffle 305 can play a limiting role, preventing the liquid cooling box 40 from being pushed in too deeply during the installation process, which would cause the installation holes to be misaligned, and further ensuring the accuracy of the liquid cooling box 40 installation process.

[0044] Working principle: When actually installing the liquid cooling device, first fix the mounting plate 20 to the cabinet 10 through the through holes on the side column 204. Select the appropriate through hole position according to the size of the liquid cooling box 40 and the installation requirements to ensure that the mounting plate 20 is stably installed on the front and rear ends of both sides of the cabinet 10.

[0045] Next, the positioning block 301 on the assembly plate 30 is aligned with the positioning groove 202 on the mounting post 201 and inserted. After the initial positioning is completed, the assembly plate 30 is fixed to the mounting post 201 by passing bolts through the second mounting hole 302 on the assembly plate 30 and the first mounting hole 203 on the mounting post 201.

[0046] Subsequently, the liquid cooling box 40 is placed on the bottom plate 303 at the bottom of the assembly plate 30, and the liquid cooling box 40 is pushed into the cabinet 10. After the fixing protrusion 501 contacts and is squeezed against the side wall of the assembly plate 30, the fixing plate 50 compresses the limiting spring 402 and slides along the direction of the limiting rod 403. When the fixing protrusion 501 moves to the position of the fixing groove 304, it is locked into the fixing groove 304 under the reset action of the limiting spring 402, thus completing the fixed installation of the liquid cooling box 40. During this process, the limiting baffle 305 effectively prevents the liquid cooling box 40 from being pushed in excessively, and the external receiving plate 70 provides stable support for the external components. The cooperation of all structures significantly improves the convenience, stability and reliability of the liquid cooling device installation.
