Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mining machine cooling technology, specifically to a cooling system. Background Technology

[0002] With societal development, the demand for mining servers is gradually increasing. Mining servers generate a large amount of heat during operation, severely impacting their performance. Existing methods using cooling towers such as water towers to cool and dissipate heat have the drawback of being bulky.

[0004] However, the existing cooling pipe layout of the water cooling subsystem and heat pump subsystem is relatively scattered, distributed in different locations within the enclosure. When inspecting and maintaining the cooling pipes, staff need to operate on different locations within the enclosure, which not only makes inspection and maintenance difficult but also results in low work efficiency.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

The side panels are a single panel and are attached to the enclosure 1 via snap-fit ​​connections, facilitating both installation and maintenance. Components of the water cooling subsystem and heat pump subsystem can be fixed to the inner wall of the enclosure 1 or to pre-installed mounting brackets on the inner wall of the enclosure 1 using fixing plates and bolts. The components of the water cooling subsystem and heat pump subsystem are connected to the pipes, and the pipes are connected to each other using high-sealing unions. The integrated structural design described above in this application results in a clear and orderly layout of the cooling pipes, facilitating quick location of pipes during maintenance and reducing spatial interference. This embodiment integrates the water cooling subsystem and heat pump subsystem near the side panel. When inspecting and maintaining the cooling pipes of both subsystems, after removing the side panel, personnel can operate on the same location within the housing 1 near the side panel without disassembling the front panel or the top of the housing 1. This avoids moving surrounding equipment during disassembly, simplifying operation and significantly improving the timeliness and convenience of maintenance. It not only significantly reduces the difficulty of inspection and maintenance but also significantly improves work efficiency. Furthermore, the cooling system of this application occupies less space, has a compact structure, a centralized layout, is easy to maintain, and exhibits high collaborative work efficiency.

[0022] Specifically, the side panel includes a left side panel and a right side panel, and the maintenance panel is the right side panel.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the water cooling subsystem includes an inlet pipe 3 and an outlet pipe 5. The inlet pipe 3 has a cold water inlet 4, which is adapted to introduce cold water from the outside. The inlet pipe 3 is connected to the outlet pipe 5 via a first heat exchanger 7; the outlet pipe 5 has a hot water outlet 6, which is adapted to discharge hot water (formed by heating cold water) to the outside; the first heat exchanger 7 is adapted to use the flowing cold water to remove the heat dissipated by the mining server. The first heat exchanger 7 can be a plate heat exchanger. The hot water can be used for domestic hot water.

[0024] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the water cooling subsystem described in this application further includes a microbubble venting valve 8, which is disposed on the water outlet pipe 5. This embodiment, by installing the microbubble venting valve 8 on the water outlet pipe 5, promptly discharges microbubbles, air, and other impurities from the water outlet pipe 5, thereby improving the heat exchange rate of the water cooling subsystem and ensuring user safety. Figure 2 The arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of hot water flow.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a pressure relief valve 9 is provided on the microbubble exhaust valve 8. The pressure relief valve 9 can be installed on the microbubble exhaust valve 8 by means of a threaded connection. The other end of the pressure relief valve 9 can be connected to a drain pipe to the bottom of the chassis provided on the base plate 2, so that when the pressure in the microbubble exhaust valve 8 exceeds the preset pressure of the pressure relief valve 9, drainage is performed to ensure that the pressure in the microbubble exhaust valve 8 is within a safe range and to ensure operational safety.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the microbubble venting valve 8 is snap-fitted and sealed onto the water outlet pipe 5. This embodiment ensures the airtightness of the water cooling subsystem and facilitates installation and maintenance.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the heat pump subsystem includes a coolant inlet pipe 10 and a coolant outlet pipe. The coolant inlet pipe 10 is provided with a coolant inlet 11, which is adapted to introduce liquid coolant. The coolant outlet pipe consists of a first outlet pipe 12 and a second outlet pipe 13 connected together; the coolant inlet pipe 10 is connected to the first outlet pipe 12 via a second heat exchanger 18; the second outlet pipe 13 is provided with a coolant outlet 14; the coolant outlet 14 is adapted to discharge heated liquid coolant to the outside; the second heat exchanger 18 is adapted to use the flowing liquid coolant to remove the heat dissipated by the mining server. The second heat exchanger 18 can be a plate heat exchanger.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a power pump 15 is provided on the coolant inlet pipe 10, and the power pump 15 is adapted to input liquid coolant into the second heat exchanger 18. The power pump 15 can be a horizontal pump.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the cooling system described in this application further includes: a dry cooler 16, which has an inlet and an outlet; the inlet is connected to the first outlet pipe 12; the outlet is connected to the portion of the second outlet pipe 13 near the coolant outlet 14; and the first outlet pipe 12 is connected to the inlet. A drain outlet 19 is provided at the bottom of the dry cooler 16 to facilitate the user connecting the drain outlet 19 to a drain valve.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the heat pump subsystem further includes a valve 17. The valve 17 is located on the second outlet pipe 13 away from the coolant outlet 14. The heat pump subsystem has a first state where, when the temperature inside the mining server is lower than a first set temperature, the valve 17 is opened, and the liquid coolant from the first outlet pipe 12 is discharged through the coolant outlet 14 of the second outlet pipe 13; and a second state where, when the temperature inside the mining server is higher than a second set temperature, the valve 17 is closed, and the liquid coolant from the first outlet pipe 12 passes through the dry cooler 16 and is then discharged through the coolant outlet 14 of the second outlet pipe 13; the first set temperature is not greater than the second set temperature. Specifically, the valve 17 can be a two-way valve, and the two-way valve can be an electromagnetic two-way valve. In the first state, it indicates that the heat exchange inside the mining server is sufficient to meet the temperature requirements for normal operation of the mining server.

[0031] For the heat pump subsystem, the heat generated by the mining server during operation is first transferred to the liquid coolant of the heat pump subsystem by the liquid coolant flowing through the second heat exchanger 18. The heat from the mining server is absorbed by the liquid coolant of the heat pump subsystem. The heated liquid coolant output from the coolant outlet 14 of the heat pump subsystem is compressed by the compressor and then recycled through processes such as condensation. During the compression and condensation process, the heat of the liquid coolant is converted into usable thermal energy for use in domestic heating and hot water supply, achieving heat recovery and utilization and significantly improving energy efficiency.

[0032] Specifically, the liquid coolant is ethylene glycol.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by this application.
