Side guards 116 are provided on both sides of the cover plate 117. The inner wall of the server cabinet 110 is welded with a main bearing support 160 of the server system, the depth direction size of the bearing support 160 is larger than the depth of one server 1, the rear wall of the server cabinet 110 is welded with a flow guiding and arranging groove, and the upper end of the flow guiding and arranging groove is welded on the bearing support 160. A cabinet inlet 111 is welded at the right center of the bottom wall of the server cabinet 110, a cabinet outlet 112 is welded at the edge of the front wall of the right center of the bottom wall of the server cabinet 110, the cabinet inlet 111 and the cabinet outlet 112 are positioned at the same horizontal height at the bottom of the server cabinet 110, and the size of the cabinet inlet 111 and the cabinet outlet 112 protruding out of the bottom wall of the server cabinet 110 is smaller than the height of a bottom plate reinforcing support 119 welded on the bottom wall, so that the trouble of subsequent pipeline connection caused by the fact that the cabinet inlet 111 and the cabinet outlet 112 are damaged due to stress of the bottom plate reinforcing support 119 in the transportation process; the cabinet inlet 111 feeds the coolant into the interlayer at the bottom of the cabinet and then feeds the coolant into the liquid immersion cooling server cabinet through the holes uniformly distributed on the flow guide laminar plate 120, as shown in fig. 5, 9 and 10. The first refrigerant uniformly enters the server 1 through the pores of the shell of the server installed in the server cabinet 110 and then flows out through the pores on the server panel, the shape of the flow guide through hole 121 on the flow guide layer flow plate 120 is not limited, and the flow guide through hole can be set to be a square hole, a round hole or a regular polygon hole according to specific needs.
The total area of the flow guide through holes 121 is equal to the total area of the bottom housing openings of the servers installed in the server cabinet 110, so that the first refrigerant fed from the cabinet liquid inlet 111 can be uniformly fed into the servers 1 to be cooled with the minimum energy consumption, as shown in fig. 9. The back of rack liquid outlet 112 has liquid mechanism 130 back in rack internal weld, and this liquid mechanism 130 that returns includes the pressure manifold 130A that the level set up and the collecting pipe 130B with the vertical setting of pressure manifold intercommunication, be equipped with a plurality of liquid inlet 132 that return on the pressure manifold 130A that the level set up, be equipped with back liquid outlet 131 on the collecting pipe 130B of vertical setting, should return liquid outlet 131 and return liquid inlet 132 intercommunication, should return liquid outlet 131 and rack liquid outlet 112 intercommunication, and every returns liquid inlet 132 and can be equipped with filter screen support 133.

As shown in fig. 9, the liquid submerges the cooling server racks, and after the cover plate 117 is closed, the flow divider 1171 just separates the liquid in each server installation area from the top surface of the server to the coolant layer at the coolant level, thus, after the refrigerant from bottom to top of the servers in each area passes through the servers, only the refrigerant flows directly to the liquid return inlet 132 on the liquid return mechanism 130 welded on the front arm of the cabinet along the channel partitioned by the two adjacent flow partition plates 1171, the gap between every two liquid return inlets 132 corresponds to the flow partition plates 1171, that is, each flow dividing plate 1171 is divided into at least one liquid-return inlet 132, so that at least one liquid-return inlet 132 is distributed to each of the independent first refrigerant backflow regions divided by the flow dividing plate 1171, thereby improving the fluency of the refrigerant in the entire liquid-cooled server cabinet 110 and reducing the loss of valuable pressure required by unnecessary refrigerant. More importantly, transverse movement of the heated refrigerant flowing through each server between the upper surface of the server and the liquid level of the refrigerant is avoided, cold and heat isolation is well achieved, and the effect of enabling the refrigerant inside the whole liquid cooling server cabinet to be uniform in temperature can be achieved by increasing the flow of the hot area in a targeted mode by matching with a flow adjusting mechanism.
