Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer hardware auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular to a data processor with built-in circulating liquid cooling pipes. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of big data and cloud computing technologies, the computing performance of data processors is constantly breaking through, and the resulting heat consumption is also increasing dramatically. In order to solve the heat dissipation problem caused by high-density computing, data processors with built-in circulating liquid cooling pipes are widely used due to their efficient heat exchange capabilities. In order to ensure the heat exchange efficiency of liquid cooling radiators, high-density dust filters are usually installed at the air inlet of the cabinet to prevent dust and lint in the air from adhering to the radiator fins and affecting heat dissipation performance.

[0003] However, in practical applications, due to the complexity of the data center environment, filters need to be disassembled, cleaned, or replaced regularly. In existing data processor racks, filters are mostly fixed directly to the rack sidewalls with multiple screws. Maintenance personnel must use screwdrivers and other tools to remove these screws one by one, a tedious and time-consuming process that severely impacts equipment maintenance efficiency. Furthermore, because liquid cooling modules contain numerous water pipe joints and precision pumps, the bottom of existing racks is typically in direct, rigid contact with the ground, lacking an effective buffer structure. When the surrounding environment vibrates, the vibration energy is directly transmitted to the inside of the rack, easily causing the rigid joints of the liquid cooling pipes to loosen, leading to coolant leaks or physical damage to precision components such as hard drives, posing significant safety hazards.

[0004] Therefore, this invention proposes a data processor with a built-in circulating liquid cooling pipeline to address the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a data processor with built-in circulating liquid cooling pipes. It aims to improve the problems of existing data processors with built-in circulating liquid cooling pipes, where the filter screen is often fixed by screws, which is cumbersome and time-consuming to disassemble and assemble, resulting in low equipment maintenance efficiency. In addition, the cabinet bottom lacks an effective buffer structure, which makes it easy for the internal precision liquid cooling pipe interface to loosen and leak or hardware damage due to environmental vibration.

[0006] This utility model provides a data processor with a built-in circulating liquid cooling pipeline, including: a data cabinet, a filter element installed on the side wall of the data cabinet, and an installation mechanism.

[0007] The installation mechanism has the mechanical feature of using eccentric rotation to drive linear extension and retraction.

[0008] Furthermore, the data cabinet, the filter element, and the installation mechanism are combined through a specific mechanical transmission mechanism. Specifically, the installation mechanism includes a housing fixedly connected to the inner wall of the data cabinet, a rotating column rotatably connected to the inside of the housing, and a connecting shaft slidably connected to the inside of the housing; a limit ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column, and a rotating ring is fitted onto the outer wall of the rotating column, with the rotating ring fixedly connected to the limit ring; a connecting column is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating ring, and the connecting column is eccentrically positioned on the rotating ring; one end of the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting column; a limit post is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting shaft, and the limit post extends to the outside of the housing and engages with the filter element; a limit plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft, and the limit plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing; a spring is fitted onto the outer wall of the connecting shaft.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the spring abuts against the inner wall of the outer casing, and the other end of the spring abuts against the side wall of the limiting plate. Under the elastic force of the spring, the connecting shaft tends to move towards the filter core, thereby ensuring that the limiting post always remains in a locked state with its extension outward under normal conditions.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the data cabinet is equipped with a shock-absorbing mechanism, which includes an extrusion plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the data cabinet and a sliding groove disposed below the extrusion plate. A slider is slidably connected inside the sliding groove, and the structure is used to receive and buffer the vibration impact from the ground.

[0011] Preferably, the extrusion plate and the slider are connected by a rotating plate, with the top end of the rotating plate rotatably connected to the bottom end of the extrusion plate and the bottom end of the rotating plate rotatably connected to the top end of the slider, forming a linkage mechanism capable of converting vertical motion into horizontal motion.

[0012] Preferably, a second spring is fixedly connected between the bottom of the extrusion plate and the slide groove. The second spring is located inside the rotating plate and is used to provide elastic damping and store vibration energy.

[0013] Preferably, there are two sliders, located on both sides of the second spring, and two rotating plates are provided accordingly, symmetrically distributed. This symmetrical double slider structure can ensure force balance and prevent the equipment from tilting.

[0014] Preferably, an inspection assembly is installed on the front side of the data cabinet, the inspection assembly including a cabinet door rotatably connected to the front side of the data cabinet, which facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the equipment inside.

[0015] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the surface of the cabinet door, and a viewing window is embedded in the surface of the data cabinet, so that staff can observe the internal operating status without opening the cabinet door, reducing dust intrusion.

[0016] Preferably, the sidewall of the filter element is provided with a groove, the shape of which is adapted to the end shape of the limiting post to ensure the tightness and stability of the engagement between the two.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model, by setting up an installation mechanism, uses a rotating column to drive an eccentrically set connecting column to rotate, thereby pulling the connecting shaft to overcome the elastic force of the spring and make a linear reciprocating motion. With the locking fit between the limiting column and the filter element groove, it solves the problem that the data processor filter screen is usually fixed with screws in the prior art, which leads to cumbersome disassembly and maintenance and a long time consumption. It achieves the technical effect of quickly disassembling and assembling the filter element by hand and significantly improving the equipment maintenance efficiency.

[0018] 2. This utility model, by setting a shock-absorbing mechanism at the bottom of the data cabinet, utilizes a linkage slider structure composed of a squeezing plate, a rotating plate, and a slider to convert vertical vibration impact into lateral sliding displacement of the slider. Combined with the damping buffer of the spring, it solves the problem in the prior art that data processors lack effective shock absorption protection and are prone to loosening and leakage of internal liquid cooling pipe interfaces or damage to precision components due to environmental vibration. It achieves the technical effect of effectively absorbing vibration energy and ensuring the safe operation of the internal liquid cooling module and hardware of the equipment.

[0019] 3. This utility model, by setting up an inspection component and utilizing a viewing window opened on the cabinet door, solves the problem in the prior art that the cabinet door must be opened to observe the internal operating status, which easily leads to dust entering the cabinet. It achieves the technical effect of facilitating daily inspection and observation while maintaining the cabinet's airtightness. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example: Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a data processor with a built-in circulating liquid cooling pipe, which aims to solve the structural defects in the prior art, such as the low efficiency of disassembly and maintenance caused by the use of screws to fix the filter screen of the data processor, and the lack of a buffer structure at the bottom of the equipment, which makes the internal liquid cooling pipe susceptible to vibration damage.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a data cabinet 1 and a filter element 5 installed on the side wall of the data cabinet 1. The data cabinet 1 serves as the mounting base for the entire data processor and the carrier for the internal liquid cooling circulation module. Its internal space is used to accommodate the processor hardware and liquid cooling pipes. The filter element 5 is used to cover the air inlet of the data cabinet 1 to filter the cooling air entering the cabinet and prevent dust accumulation from affecting the heat dissipation efficiency of the liquid cooling radiator. The side wall of the data cabinet 1 has a window for air circulation. The filter element 5 is fitted and covered at the window. The two are connected and fixed by a specific mechanical structure to ensure airtightness and facilitate subsequent maintenance operations.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3It also includes an installation mechanism 3, which mainly consists of an outer shell 31 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the data cabinet 1. The outer shell 31 has a cavity inside to accommodate mechanical transmission components. A rotating column 32 is rotatably connected inside the outer shell 31, with one end extending through the outer shell 31 and the wall of the data cabinet 1 to the outside for the operator to grip and rotate. A limit ring 34 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the end of the rotating column 32 inside the outer shell 31. A rotating ring 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limit ring 34, so that when the rotating column 32 rotates, it can drive the rotating ring 33 to rotate synchronously. A connecting column 35 is fixedly connected to one end face of the rotating ring 33, and the position of the connecting column 35 is offset from the center of the rotating ring 33, i.e., it is eccentrically set. When the rotating ring 33 rotates, the connecting post 35 will make a circular motion around the axis of the rotating ring 33. The connecting shaft 36 is also slidably connected inside the outer shell 31. One end of the connecting shaft 36 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting post 35, and the other end of the connecting shaft 36 is fixedly connected to the limiting post 39. The limiting post 39 extends to the outside through the side wall of the outer shell 31. The outer wall of the connecting shaft 36 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 38. The outer wall of the limiting plate 38 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 31 to limit the connecting shaft 36 to only make linear reciprocating motion along the axial direction and prevent it from radially deviating. At the same time, the outer wall of the connecting shaft 36 is fitted with a spring 37. One end of the spring 37 abuts against the inner wall of the outer shell 31, and the other end abuts against the side wall of the limiting plate 38.

[0026] The side wall of the filter element 5 has a groove whose shape matches the end of the limiting post 39. In its natural state, the spring 37 is in a compressed or pre-tightened state, and its rebound force acts on the limiting plate 38, pushing the connecting shaft 36 and the limiting post 39 to extend outward, so that the limiting post 39 is firmly locked into the groove of the filter element 5, thereby locking the filter element 5. When disassembly is required, rotating the rotating post 32 drives the eccentric connecting post 35 to rotate. The connecting post 35 pulls the connecting shaft 36 to overcome the resistance of the spring 37 and retract inward through the rotational connection, thereby driving the limiting post 39 to disengage from the groove of the filter element 5 and release the locking state.

[0027] Reference Figure 4A shock-absorbing mechanism 4 is installed at the bottom of the data cabinet 1. The shock-absorbing mechanism 4 mainly consists of a compression plate 41 fixedly connected to the bottom of the data cabinet 1. The compression plate 41 serves as the first component to receive vibration force. A slide groove 44 is correspondingly provided below it. The slide groove 44 is fixed to the equipment mounting foundation or base. A slider 43 is slidably connected inside the slide groove 44. The compression plate 41 and the slider 43 form a linkage transmission structure through a rotating plate 42. Specifically, the top end of the rotating plate 42 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the compression plate 41, and the bottom end of the rotating plate 42 is rotatably connected to the top of the slider 43. A spring is also fixedly connected between the bottom of the compression plate 41 and the slide groove 44. Spring 45 is located inside the rotating plate 42. When the pressing plate 41 moves downward under vertical vibration pressure, it will squeeze the rotating plate 42 to deflect at an angle, thereby pushing the slider 43 to slide horizontally in the groove 44, converting the vertical impact force into horizontal displacement. At the same time, in conjunction with the compression damping of spring 45, the vibration energy is consumed. There are two sliders 43, located on both sides of spring 45. Correspondingly, there are also two rotating plates 42, which are symmetrically distributed. This symmetrical double-link slider structure ensures the stability of the pressing plate 41 during the pressing process.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 The front of the data cabinet 1 is equipped with an inspection component 2. The inspection component 2 includes a cabinet door 21 that is rotatably connected to the front of the data cabinet 1. A handle 22 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cabinet door 21 to assist in opening the cabinet door 21. At the same time, the surface of the data cabinet 1 is inlaid with a transparent viewing window 23, which allows staff to directly observe the interior through the viewing window 23, reducing unnecessary door opening operations and thus reducing the risk of dust entering the cabinet.

[0029] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: When the filter element 5 needs to be installed or replaced, the operator rotates the rotating column 32 located outside the housing 31. The rotating column 32 drives the internal limiting ring 34 and rotating ring 33 to rotate synchronously. Since the connecting column 35 is eccentrically fixed on the rotating ring 33, the rotational movement of the rotating ring 33 causes the connecting column 35 to make a circular motion around the axis. Through the rotational connection relationship, the connecting shaft 36 is pulled inward. During the retraction process, the connecting shaft 36 drives the limiting plate 38 to slide inside the housing 31 and squeeze the spring 37, so that it is in a compressed energy storage state. At the same time, the limiting column 39 at the end of the connecting shaft 36 retracts into the housing 31 and disengages from the groove on the side wall of the filter element 5. At this time, the operator can remove the old filter element 5 and replace it with a new filter element 5.

[0030] After the rotating column 32 is released, the spring 37 pushes the limiting plate 38 and the connecting shaft 36 outward under its own rebound force, so that the limiting column 39 is re-engaged into the groove of the new filter element 5. The pre-tightening force of the spring 37 is used to achieve automatic locking and complete the quick fixation of the filter element 5.

[0031] When the data cabinet 1 is subjected to vertical vibration impact from the external environment, the vibration force is transmitted to the shock absorption mechanism 4 at the bottom. The compression plate 41 moves downward under the force, first compressing the second spring 45 in the middle to absorb part of the impact energy. At the same time, the downward pressing action of the compression plate 41 forces the rotating plates 42 on both sides to deflect at an angle, becoming more gentle. The deflection of the rotating plates 42 pushes the two sliders 43 at the bottom to slide horizontally outward in the slide groove 44. By converting the vertical impact force into the lateral displacement of the sliders 43 and the work done to overcome the friction of the slide groove 44 and the resistance of the second spring 45, the vibration energy is effectively consumed, and the vibration amplitude transmitted to the internal liquid cooling pipes and hardware of the data cabinet 1 is greatly reduced, thereby protecting the safe operation of the equipment.
