Description

Combined water-cooling unit fastener structure

Technical Field

The invention relates to a combined water-cooling unit fastener structure, in particular to a water-cooling unit fastener structure which divides a fastener member into a plurality of equal parts and frames the fastener member outside a water-cooling unit respectively and then fixedly combines the fastener members.

Background

With the demand of big data and cloud computing service greatly increasing, the heat dissipation demand of related electronic products is also higher and higher, especially the server of large-scale operation center, its operation density improves, the waste heat that produces in the space of the same size also greatly promotes, in order to reduce the energy that the heat dissipation consumed, the design of radiator gradually changes from the air-cooling of traditional use fan into using liquid to take away the heat source from the server and dispel the heat with other modes, in order to solve the problem that high density waste heat produced.

In past electronic products using air cooling, each wafer corresponds to a single radiator (Heat Sink), and if a plurality of wafers are arranged in the system, the wafers also correspond to a plurality of groups of air cooling radiators; when the liquid cooling product is converted into a liquid cooling product, a water pipeline needs to be configured in a limited casing space, and in a narrow space, the main factors influencing the pipeline configuration include: the configuration of the main board, the inlet and outlet directions of the water cooling plates, the inner and outer diameters of pipelines, the minimum bending radius of the pipelines and the like.

In the process of changing from air cooling to liquid cooling, the client motherboard is often configured with the thinking of air cooling and cannot be designed and changed, so that downstream manufacturers are limited everywhere when configuring pipelines of the water cooling unit, and a great deal of design change of water cooling products is brought about.

Referring to fig. 9 and 10, which are three-dimensional exploded and assembled views of a water cooling head and a fastener in the prior art, as shown in the figures, the water cooling head 3 cannot bear high-pound locking pressure because of using a material with soft characteristics such as copper or aluminum, and cannot be directly locked on a heat source, so the water cooling head needs to be firstly combined with a fastener bottom plate 4 and then locked with a locking structure around the heat source (not shown) by the fastener bottom plate 4, and a water inlet pipe 31 and a water outlet pipe 32 arranged on the water cooling head 3 are usually combined with the water cooling head 3 in a welding manner for preventing leakage.

In order to prevent the water inlet pipe 31 and the water outlet pipe 32 from leaking and being fixed above the water cooling head 3 through welding, when the buckle bottom plate 4 is sleeved outside the water cooling head 3, the water inlet pipe 31 or the water outlet pipe 32 is blocked to generate interference and cannot be combined, and the water inlet pipe 31 and the water outlet pipe 32 cannot change directions through rotation to prevent the interference problem with the buckle bottom plate 4.

Therefore, when the water cooling head 3 interferes with the buckle bottom plate 4, the buckle bottom plate 4 is provided with at least one groove 41, and the interference between the buckle bottom plate 4 and the water inlet pipe 31 and the water outlet pipe 32 is eliminated through the arrangement of the groove 41, but the water inlet pipe 31 and the water outlet pipe 32 in different directions need to be additionally provided with molds to manufacture the buckle bottom plate 4 components which correspond to the water cooling head 3 and do not interfere with each other, the manufacturing cost is quite high due to the arrangement of different molds, and the structural strength of the buckle bottom plate 4 is also influenced due to the arrangement of the grooves 41 in different angles.

Therefore, how to improve the problem of combining the buckle bottom plate and the water cooling head is the key point of primary solution.

The prior art has the following disadvantages:

1. the water inlet pipe direction of the water-cooling head is limited by the installation mode of the core water-cooling head.

2. In the face of wafer design trends, water-cooled heads may have insufficient structural strength. In the assembly process, the waterway pipeline can be installed only after the adapter buckle bottom plate is installed.

In view of the above disadvantages, in order to increase the usage demand of the liquid cooling module for more customers, the water cooling head must be optimized, and the degree of freedom of the water cooling head entering and exiting the inlet and outlet is increased.
