The embodiments of the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a data center provided by the embodiments of the present application.
[0035] Referring to FIG. 1, the data center 1000 is a facility for installing computing devices and related components, such as telecommunication and storage systems. The data center 1000 provided by the embodiments of the present application can include a machine room 20 and at least one computing device 10 arranged in the machine room 20. It can be understood that the machine room 20 can be a closed room, or a room open on one side or multiple sides. The machine room 20 can be a temporary room built, such as a tent room, a board room, etc., or a permanent room built.
[0036] The machine room 20 can be provided with only one computing device 10, or multiple computing devices 10. When the machine room 20 is provided with multiple computing devices 10, the computing devices 10 can be the same, partially the same, or all different. The computing device 10 can be a desktop server, a blade server, a rack server, a high-density server, or an entire-cabinet server.
[0037] The entire-cabinet server is widely used in the fields of cloud computing, high-performance computer clusters (HPC), big data, and artificial intelligence, etc. due to its high space utilization.
[0038] Hereinafter, the structure of the computing device will be described by taking the entire-cabinet server as an example.
[0039] FIG. 2 is a structural schematic diagram of the computing device provided by the embodiments of the present application.
[0040] Referring to FIG. 2, the computing device 10 includes a power supply device 100, a cabinet 200, and multiple computing nodes 300. The power supply device 100 and the multiple computing nodes 300 are located in the cabinet 200, and the power supply device 100 is used to supply power to the computing nodes 300.
[0041] Specifically, the cabinet 200 has a cuboid structure, and the cabinet 200 includes a first direction X, a second direction Y, and a third direction Z. The cabinet 200 is used to support and accommodate the power supply device 100 and the multiple computing nodes 300. The multiple computing nodes 300 are arranged at intervals along the third direction Z, and the power supply device 100 is arranged above the computing nodes 300 along the third direction Z.
[0042] The power supply device 100 includes multiple power supply modules 110 and a backboard 120. The multiple power supply modules 110 are plugged on the backboard 120 and electrically connected with the backboard 120.

In the related art, a cooling fan is arranged in the power supply module to cool the components in the power supply module. With the increasing heat dissipation of the power supply module, the volume of the cooling fan in the power supply module is also increasing, so that the volume of the power supply device is also increasing. In addition, the cooling effect of the cooling fan is poor and the noise of the cooling fan is also large when cooling.
[0045] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides a power supply device and a computing device. The power supply device is cooled by a liquid cooling module, and the cooling effect of the liquid cooling module is good, and the volume of the power supply device can be reduced by cooling through the liquid cooling module.

In FIG. 4, the power supply module is omitted; and in FIGS. 5 and 6, only the structure of one end of the power supply module 110 connected with the backboard 120 is shown.
[0047] Referring to FIGS. 3-6, the power supply device 100 further includes a liquid cooling module 130 and a power supply output module 140. The backboard 120 includes a first plate surface 120a and a second plate surface 120b opposite to each other along a first direction X. The plurality of power supply modules 110 are located on the first plate surface 120a, and each power supply module 110 has a first liquid inlet 111 and a first liquid outlet 112. The liquid cooling module 130 is located on the second plate surface 120b, and includes a liquid inlet pipe 131 and a liquid outlet pipe 132. The backboard 120 has a plurality of through holes 121. The liquid inlet pipe 131 has a plurality of second liquid inlets 1311, and the second liquid inlets 1311 pass through the through holes 121 of the backboard 120 to be plugged with the first liquid inlets 111. The liquid outlet pipe 132 has a plurality of second liquid outlets 1321, and the second liquid outlets 1321 pass through the through holes 121 of the backboard 120 to be plugged with the first liquid outlets 112. The power supply output module 140 is located on one side of the second plate surface 120b, and one end of the power supply output module 140 is electrically connected with the backboard 120, and the other end of the power supply output module 140 extends across the liquid cooling module 130 along the first direction X to supply power to the computing node 300.
[0048] Specifically, referring to FIG. 2, the cabinet 200 can include a front panel 210 and a rear panel 220 opposite to each other along the first direction X. The backboard 120 can be arranged close to the rear panel 220 and parallel to the rear panel 220. One side of the backboard 120 facing the front panel 210 is the first plate surface 120a of the backboard 120, and the other side of the backboard 120 facing the rear panel 220 is the second plate surface 120b.
[0049] The power supply device 100 can be provided with a plurality of power supply modules 110. The plurality of power supply modules 110 are uniformly and spacedly arranged on the first plate surface 120a of the backboard 120. The power supply modules 110 are arranged in rows along a second direction Y and in columns along a third direction Z, and are arranged in rows and columns on the backboard 120. In FIGS. 3-5, the plug-in areas of eighteen power supply modules 110 in two rows and nine columns are shown on the backboard 120, and one power supply module 110 is schematically shown.
[0050] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 5, the power supply module 110 has a third connector 113, and each plug-in area of the backboard 120 has a fourth connector 122. The third connector 113 and the fourth connector 122 are plugged one by one to fix the power supply module 110 on the backboard 120 and electrically connect the power supply module 110 with the backboard 120.
[0051] Please continue to see Figure 3 and Figure 5, in a possible implementation, the back plate 120 is also provided with a guide pin 123, the power module 110 has a corresponding guide sleeve (not marked in the figure), the length of the guide pin 123 extending out of the first plate surface 120a is greater than the fourth connector 122, when the third connector 113 and the fourth connector 122 are inserted, the guide pin 123 first extends into the guide sleeve, so as to facilitate the alignment of the third connector 113 and the fourth connector 122 when inserted.
[0052] Please continue to see Figure 6, the power module 110 uses liquid cooling to dissipate heat, the power module 110 has a first liquid inlet 111 and a first liquid outlet 112, the cooling liquid enters the power module 110 from the first liquid inlet 111, and after absorbing the heat of the electrical components in the power module 110, it flows out from the first liquid outlet 112.
[0053] The power module 110 can use immersion liquid cooling, spray liquid cooling and cold plate liquid cooling. Immersion liquid cooling is to immerse the heating electronic components in the coolant (cooling liquid), and rely on the circulation of liquid to take away the heat. When using immersion liquid cooling, the electronic components are in direct contact with the cooling liquid in all directions, so the immersion liquid cooling has better heat dissipation effect. Spray liquid cooling is to spray the cooling liquid on the electronic components through the spray head. Compared with immersion liquid cooling, spray liquid cooling is more economical in cooling liquid. Cold plate liquid cooling is to paste the cold plate on the surface of the electronic components to take away the heat of the electronic components. Among them, when using immersion liquid cooling, the power module 110 has no other device for heat dissipation except the cooling liquid, so the volume of the power module 110 is small. The volume of the spray head in immersion liquid cooling and the cold plate in cold plate liquid cooling is much smaller than that of the heat dissipation fan, so the volume of the power module 110 is small. In addition, the heat dissipation effect of liquid cooling is better than that of air cooling.
[0054] The liquid cooling module 130 is used to provide cooling liquid for the plurality of power modules 110, and the liquid cooling module 130 is arranged on the second plate surface 120b of the back plate 120. The back plate 120 can be fixed on the pipe wall of the liquid inlet pipe 131 or the liquid outlet pipe 132 by fasteners. The liquid inlet pipe 131 can extend along the second direction Y to simultaneously provide cooling liquid for the plurality of power modules 110 arranged in a row along the second direction Y. Specifically, the liquid inlet pipe 131 has a plurality of second liquid inlets 1311 arranged at intervals, and the second liquid inlets 1311 are respectively aligned with the first liquid inlets 111 in different power modules 110 in the same row. The back plate 120 has a through hole 121 for the second liquid inlets 1311 to pass through, and the second liquid inlets 1311 all pass through the through hole 121 to correspondingly insert with the first liquid inlets 111 in different power modules 110. The cooling liquid enters from the liquid inlet pipe 131, flows through the second liquid inlets 1311 and the first liquid inlets 111 in turn, and is distributed to the plurality of power modules 110.
[0055] The outflow pipe 132 can extend along the second direction Y to converge the cooling liquid flowing out of the plurality of power modules 110 arranged in a row along the second direction Y. Specifically, the outflow pipe 132 has a plurality of second outflow openings 1321 arranged at intervals, and the second outflow openings 1321 are respectively aligned with the first outflow openings 112 in different power modules 110 in the same row. The back plate 120 has a through hole 121 through which the second outflow openings 1321 pass, and the second outflow openings 1321 all pass through the through hole to be respectively plugged with the first outflow openings 112 in different power modules 110. The cooling liquid flowing out of different power modules 110 flows through the first outflow openings 112 and the second outflow openings 1321 in turn to converge into the outflow pipe 132.
[0056] By simultaneously providing the plurality of power modules 110 with cooling liquid through the inflow pipe 131 and converging the cooling liquid in the plurality of power modules 110 through the outflow pipe 132, the number of pipelines on the second plate surface 120b of the back plate 120 can be reduced, so that the volume occupied by the liquid cooling module 130 in the power supply device 100 can be reduced, thereby reducing the volume of the power supply device 100.
[0057] In a possible implementation, the inflow pipe 131 and the outflow pipe 132 can be attached to the second plate surface 120b, that is, there is no gap or a very small gap between the inflow pipe 131 and the outflow pipe 132 and the second plate surface 120b, thereby making the structure of the power supply device 100 more compact and further reducing the volume of the power supply device 100.
[0058] The power supply output module 140 is located on one side of the second plate surface 120b, one end of the power supply output module 140 is electrically connected to the back plate 120, and the other end of the power supply output module 140 extends across the liquid cooling module 130 along the first direction X to be electrically connected to the copper bar group 400 and supply power to the computing node 300 through the copper bar group 400. Since the power supply output module 140 extends across the liquid cooling module 130 and is electrically connected to the copper bar group 400, the sum of the dimensions of the power supply output module 140 and the liquid cooling module 130 along the first direction X is small, thereby further reducing the volume of the power supply device 100.
[0059] The power supply device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is configured by the power supply module 110, the backboard 120, the liquid cooling module 130 and the power supply output module 140. The backboard 120 comprises a first plate surface 120a and a second plate surface 120b opposite to each other along a first direction X. The plurality of power supply modules 110 are located on the first plate surface 120a. Each power supply module 110 is provided with a first liquid inlet 111 and a first liquid outlet 112. The liquid cooling module 130 is configured to supply cooling liquid to the plurality of power supply modules 110. The cooling liquid is circulated to dissipate heat from the power supply modules 110, which can improve the heat dissipation effect of the power supply modules 110 and reduce the volume of the power supply modules 110, thereby reducing the volume of the power supply device 100. The liquid cooling module 130 is located on the second plate surface 120b. The liquid cooling module 130 comprises a liquid inlet pipe 131 and a liquid outlet pipe 132.

[0081] The power supply adapter copper bars 1411 and the ground adapter copper bars 1421 can be arranged opposite to each other along the third direction Z on the second side of the back plate 120, and the distance between the power supply adapter copper bars 1411 and the ground adapter copper bars 1421 can be close to the size of the back plate 120 along the third direction Z, so as to avoid increasing the size of the power supply device 100 along the third direction Z due to the arrangement of the power supply adapter copper bars 1411 and the power supply adapter copper bars 1411.

[0085] The power supply adapter copper bars 1411 are connected to the back plate 120, and when the power supply adapter copper bars 1411 are deformed, stress is generated inside the back plate 120. By arranging multiple power supply adapter copper bars 1411 along the second direction Y, the volume of each of the power supply adapter copper bars 1411 can be small, so that the stress generated inside the back plate 120 due to the deformation of the power supply adapter copper bars 1411 can be reduced. The ends of the multiple power supply adapter copper bars 1411 away from the back plate 120 can be electrically connected through the power supply lead-out copper bars 1412 extending along the second direction Y.

[0089] The power supply lead-out copper bars 1412 have first bending portions 1412a bent towards the liquid inlet pipe 131 (or the liquid outlet pipe 132, and hereinafter the liquid inlet pipe 131 is taken as an example for description). The first bending portions 1412a can be fixed on the liquid inlet pipe 131 through fasteners. By connecting the power supply lead-out copper bars 1412 with the liquid inlet pipe 131, the liquid cooling module 130 can also carry part of the weight of the power supply assembly 141, avoiding the weight of the power supply assembly 141 being entirely loaded on the back plate 120, thereby further reducing the deformation amount of the back plate 120.

The second bending portions 1422a can be fixed on the liquid inlet pipe 131 through fasteners. By connecting the ground lead-out copper bars 1422 with the liquid inlet pipe 131, the liquid cooling module 130 can also carry part of the weight of the ground assembly 142, avoiding the weight of the ground assembly 142 being entirely loaded on the back plate 120, thereby further reducing the deformation amount of the back plate 120.
[0091] Currents are generated in the power supply lead-out copper bars 1412 and the ground lead-out copper bars 1422. When the power supply lead-out copper bars 1412 and the ground lead-out copper bars 1422 are connected with the liquid inlet pipe 131, insulation needs to be ensured between the power supply lead-out copper bars 1412 and the liquid inlet pipe 131 and between the ground lead-out copper bars 1422 and the liquid inlet pipe 131.

[0094] Please continue to see FIG. 11, it should be noted that the power supply adapter copper bar 1411 and the grounding adapter copper bar 1421 can also contact the inlet pipe 131, therefore, an insulation sleeve 143 can be arranged on the side of the power supply adapter copper bar 1411 and the grounding adapter copper bar 1421 to avoid the contact between the power supply adapter copper bar 1411 and the grounding adapter copper bar 1421 and the inlet pipe 131.

[0096] The power supply lug 1413 extends from the power supply lead-out copper bar 1412 along the first direction X to facilitate the electrical connection with the power supply copper bar 410 in the computing device 10. The grounding lug 1423 extends from the grounding lead-out copper bar 1422 along the first direction X to facilitate the electrical connection with the grounding copper bar 420 in the computing device 10. Thus, a loop for supplying power to the computing node 300 can be formed. The size of the power supply lug 1413 and the grounding lug 1423 along the first direction X can be flexibly set according to the distance between the power supply device 100 and the copper bar group 400, so that the layout of the power supply device 100 and the copper bar group 400 in the computing device 10 is more flexible.
