The liquid leakage detection circuit, the liquid leakage automatic turn-off circuit, the liquid leakage local alarm circuit and the liquid leakage remote alarm circuit are respectively connected with the main control board. Each circuit works under the control of the main control board.

And the automatic liquid leakage turn-off circuit is used for blocking the cooling working medium outside the liquid cooling cabinet from flowing into the liquid cooling cabinet when the cooling pipeline has a liquid leakage phenomenon. The main control board is used for receiving detection data of the liquid leakage detection circuit and judging whether the cooling pipeline has a liquid leakage phenomenon or not based on the detection data; when the liquid leakage phenomenon exists, a blocking control signal is generated and sent to the liquid leakage automatic turn-off circuit, so that the electromagnetic valve is triggered by the blocking control signal to block the cooling working medium outside the liquid cooling cabinet from flowing into the liquid cooling cabinet. The leakage local alarm circuit is used for generating alarm information under the triggering of an alarm signal sent by the main control board and displaying the alarm information locally in the system; the alarm signal is generated by the main control board when a liquid leakage phenomenon exists.

Optionally, the main control board in the application is realized based on a GD32 series domestic ARM microprocessor, and the sensor is an OUD-2M series micro fluid bubble sensor.
In order to realize the function of the main control board for identifying whether the liquid leakage phenomenon occurs, in an alternative embodiment of the present application, the threshold of the amount of change of the bubble is determined in advance. Alternatively, a certain value (e.g., 1%, 0.8%) may be artificially set as the bubble variation threshold according to expert experience or business requirements.
In addition, in other optional embodiments, the number of the board cards of the VPX liquid cooling chassis may also be obtained by monitoring the VPX liquid cooling chassis (the interface provided by the backplane of the VPX liquid cooling chassis is not unique, and a user may adjust the number of the board cards connected to the backplane based on his own needs). Then, the bubble variation threshold is determined based on the number of the board cards, so that the bubble variation threshold is inversely related to the number of the board cards. Under the condition that the number of the board cards in the VPX liquid cooling case is large, if a liquid leakage phenomenon occurs, serious disasters can be caused, and the disasters can be detected in a more sensitive way by reducing the bubble variation threshold value.

Alternatively, the process of determining the amount of change in the bubble may be calculated from historically collected inspection data. Alternatively, the difference between the average value of the bubble contents indicated by the detection data acquired within the history 2 seconds from the current time as the starting point and the bubble content indicated by the detection data acquired at the current time is used as the bubble change amount.
