Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.

The connector comprises two connecting pieces which are detachably connected, the two connecting pieces are a male end and a female end respectively, connection and disconnection between devices can be achieved through connection and disconnection of the two connecting pieces, and for example, when the connector is applied to a liquid cooling circulation system in the field of electronic heat dissipation, connection and disconnection of the circulation system can be achieved through the connector.

In the related art, one of the connectors is connected to the corresponding device through a flexible pipe, which results in that, during the connection process of the two connectors, a sufficient space is usually required to be left between the two devices when the two devices are adjusted to a desired relative position, so that the positions of the pipe and the connector thereon can be manually adjusted, and then the pipe is connected with the other connector, so that the operation process is complicated and a large operation space is required.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a connector assembly, which can facilitate the connection operation of a connector and reduce the requirement for operation space.

Referring to fig. 1 to 8, a connector assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a connector through which a first device 3 and a second device 4 can be connected and disconnected.

In this embodiment, the application of the connector assembly is illustrated by taking a liquid cooling circulation system in which the connector assembly is applied to the field of electronic heat dissipation as an example, and the liquid cooling circulation system is effectively connected in series through a cold plate, a pipeline and a connector to form a circulation system. The first device 3 is a case, the second device 4 is a water separator, and a cooling liquid pipeline of the water separator can be connected with cooling structures such as a cold plate of the case through a connector so as to enter the case through the connector through water supply of the water separator to cool and dissipate heat of the case. Wherein, because the machine case is usually installed on the machine cabinet, the machine cabinet is usually manufactured with larger error, and the connector is a high-precision connecting device, and the high-precision requirement of the connector can be met by arranging the connector to be fixed at one end and movable at the other end. Of course, in other embodiments, the first device 3 and the second device 4 may be other devices.

In the connector assembly in this embodiment, the first connecting piece 1 and the second connecting piece 2 in the connector are respectively arranged on two devices, and the connector and the devices are not connected through flexible pipelines any more, so that in the assembly process, the first connecting piece 1 and the second connecting piece 2 can move along with the first device 3 and the second device 4 in a way of being close to each other simultaneously in the process of being close to each other, the connection of the first connecting piece 1 and the second connecting piece 2 is automatically completed, a larger space is not required to be reserved between the first device 3 and the second device 4 for manual operation, the connection operation of the connector is convenient, and the requirement on the operation space is reduced.
