Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid cooling technology for data centers, specifically providing a multi-port compatible multi-standard liquid cooling quick-connect device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid growth in data center computing power demands, liquid cooling technology has been widely adopted due to its high-efficiency heat dissipation advantages. Currently, liquid cooling quick-connect standards are highly fragmented, and single-interface designs struggle to meet the testing needs of multi-brand servers. Traditional rigid piping with multiple interfaces occupies significant space and is inconvenient to install and maintain.

[0003] While flexible hoses improve space utilization, they also present challenges such as unstable connection seals, hose fatigue, increased flow resistance, and uneven flow distribution. Furthermore, cluttered piping negatively impacts the cleanliness of the testing environment and operational efficiency. Current technology lacks liquid-cooled quick-connect devices that integrate multiple interfaces, save space, and ensure reliable connections. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a multi-port compatible multi-standard liquid-cooled quick-connect device that is reasonably designed, simple in structure, convenient and quick to store, and adaptable to various connectors.

The main coolant pipe is connected to several branch pipes. Each branch pipe is connected to a receiving assembly at its other end.

[0007] Each branch pipe is equipped with a solenoid valve to facilitate the inlet and outlet of coolant. A tee is provided at the connection between the branch pipe and the receiving assembly. One tee connects to the receiving assembly, and the other tee connects to a flexible hose. The flexible hose is stored in the receiving assembly. The hose connector on each receiving assembly has a different diameter to accommodate different interfaces.

[0008] Furthermore, the storage assembly includes a bearing and a manual crank connected to the bearing, the manual crank rotating coaxially with the bearing, and the hose being stored on the manual crank.

[0009] Furthermore, the branch pipe is connected to the bearing via a rotating assembly, the rotating assembly including a rotating seal, a fixed pipe connected to the rotating seal, a tee connected to the fixed pipe, a connector connected to the tee, and the connector connected to the bearing.

The horizontal rod is provided with a plurality of threaded holes, and the storage assembly is fixed to the horizontal rod through the threaded holes.

[0011] Furthermore, a pipe clamp is provided at the upper end of the upright, which is used to fix the coolant main pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, a reinforcing bar is added to the lower part of the crossbar and between the two uprights for fixation.

[0013] Furthermore, rubber protective seats are provided at both ends of the fixing rod.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" generally refer to the upper, lower, left, and right as shown in the accompanying drawings; "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself.

[0026] The following is a preferred embodiment:

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a multi-port compatible multi-standard liquid cooling quick-connect device in this embodiment includes a support assembly. The upper part of the support assembly is provided with a coolant main pipe 2, which is connected to several branch pipes 10. The other end of each branch pipe 10 is connected to a storage assembly 8.

[0028] Each branch pipe 10 is equipped with a solenoid valve 1 to facilitate the inflow and outflow of coolant. A tee 16 is provided at the connection between the branch pipe 10 and the housing assembly 8. One tee is connected to the housing assembly 8, and the other tee is connected to a hose 4. The hose 4 is housed on the housing assembly 8. The hose 4 on each housing assembly 8 has a different connector diameter to adapt to different interfaces. In this embodiment, the hose 4 is a stainless steel corrugated hose 4.

[0029] The storage component 8 includes a bearing 11 and a manual crank 12 connected to the bearing 11. The manual crank 12 rotates coaxially with the bearing 11, and the hose 4 is stored on the manual crank 12.

[0030] Branch pipe 8 is connected to bearing 11 via a rotating assembly. The rotating assembly includes a rotating seal 17, a fixed pipe 18 connected to the rotating seal 17, a tee 16 connected to the fixed pipe 18, a connector 15 connected to the tee 16, and the connector 15 connected to bearing 11.

[0031] The support assembly includes a fixed rod 7, on which uprights 3 are mounted. A crossbar 13 is positioned between the uprights 3, and the crossbar 13 has several threaded holes 14. The housing assembly 8 is fixed to the crossbar 13 through the threaded holes 14. In this embodiment, a reinforcing rod 5 is added to the lower part of the crossbar 13 and between the two uprights 3 for fixation, ensuring the stability of the entire support assembly. In this embodiment, rubber protective seats 6 are provided at both ends of the fixed rod 7 to increase friction with the ground.

[0032] The upper end of the upright 3 is provided with a pipe clamp 9, which is used to fix the coolant main pipe 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, a multi-port compatible, multi-standard liquid-cooled quick-connect device is used. Before testing the liquid-cooled server rack, the quick-connect type of the server is determined. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the quick-connect type is compatible with the left stainless steel flexible hose 4. By rotating the left manual crank 12, the entire fixed storage assembly 8 is rotated, and the stainless steel flexible hose 4 is pulled out and connected to the corresponding rack. The automatic sensing device on the stainless steel flexible hose 4 recognizes the connection and controls the left solenoid valve 1 to open. Liquid flows through the liquid cooling main pipe 2, through the left solenoid valve 1, the left branch pipe 8, and the tee 16 in the rotating assembly to the left stainless steel flexible hose 4. The flexible hose 4 connects to the rack with the corresponding interface type, achieving the effect of cooling the rack.

[0034] After the liquid-cooled server rack is tested, the stainless steel flexible hose 4 on the left side is disconnected from the rack. The automatic sensor on the stainless steel flexible hose 4 detects the disconnection and triggers a control to close the solenoid valve 1 on the left side. Turning the manual crank 12 rotates the entire storage assembly 8 via the bearing 11, causing the stainless steel flexible hose 4 to rotate accordingly for easy storage.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rotating seal 17 in the rotating assembly is fixed to the branch pipe 10 by bolts, and then fixed to the fixed pipe 18. The fixed pipe 18 is connected to the tee 16, and the coolant enters the stainless steel hose 4 through the tee 16. The other side of the tee 16 is connected to the connector 15. No coolant will enter the connector 15. The connector 15 is only connected to the bearing 11.

[0036] The embodiments described above are merely one preferred embodiment of this utility model. Ordinary variations and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of this utility model's technical solution should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
