Description

浸没式冷却的电子设备 本申请要求于 2011年 11月 21 日提交中国专利局、 申请号为 201110373997. 1、 发 明名称为 "浸没式冷却的电子设备"的中国专利申请的优先权, 其全部内容通过引用结 合在本申请中。 技术领域 本发明涉及一种电子设备的冷却技术,尤其涉及一种采用浸没式冷却方式的电子设 备。 背景技术 现有技术的电子设备,例如各种通信设备在工作时产生的热量如果没有进行良好的 散热处理, 将加速设备性能的衰减老化, 导致通信设备的可靠性差, 增加维护的成本。  Immersion-cooled electronic device The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201110373997, filed on November 21, 2011, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. This is incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cooling technology for an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device using an immersion cooling method. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Electronic devices of the prior art, such as the heat generated during operation of various communication devices, fail to perform good heat dissipation treatment, which will accelerate the degradation of device performance, resulting in poor reliability of the communication device and increasing maintenance costs.
现有通信设备主要是采用风冷技术进行散热, 比如采用风扇进行抽风散热。 但随着 设备功耗的增加、 热密度提高, 热点和噪音等问题日益突出。  The existing communication equipment mainly uses air-cooling technology for heat dissipation, such as using a fan for ventilation. However, as device power consumption increases, heat density increases, hot spots and noise become more prominent.
为改善风冷技术的不足, 其他冷却技术开始得到应用, 例如, 采用将发热的元件浸 没在冷却工质中进行散热的浸没式冷却方式。 采用浸没式冷却方式时, 可有效改善风冷 技术中的噪音问题。 但本申请发明人在长期研发中发现, 采用浸没式冷却方式需考虑采 用可靠的设备壳体密封方案, 防止冷却工质通过设备壳体上的空洞外泄。 然而, 现有的 密封方案存在冷却系统结构过于复杂或是可靠性有待提高的问题。 例如, 现有一种常用 的密封结构是采用密封胶条形成密闭冷却工质的密封空间, 但由于胶条易于老化变形, 或是在外力作用下变形,从而使得密封空间产生缝隙,易于导致冷却工质从缝隙处外泄。  In order to improve the shortage of air-cooling technology, other cooling technologies have begun to be applied, for example, an immersion cooling method in which a heat-generating component is immersed in a cooling medium for heat dissipation. When immersion cooling is used, the noise problem in air-cooling technology can be effectively improved. However, the inventors of the present application have found in the long-term research and development that the use of the immersion cooling method requires consideration of a reliable equipment housing sealing scheme to prevent the cooling medium from leaking through the cavity in the equipment housing. However, the existing sealing scheme has the problem that the structure of the cooling system is too complicated or the reliability needs to be improved. For example, a conventional sealing structure is a sealing space in which a sealing strip is used to form a closed cooling medium. However, since the strip is easily aged and deformed, or deformed by an external force, a gap is formed in the sealed space, which is liable to cause a cooling worker. The quality leaks from the gap.
概而言之, 在浸没式冷却方式中, 密封方案的可靠性及冷却系统的复杂性成为其实 现普遍应用的主要障碍。 发明内容  In summary, in the immersion cooling method, the reliability of the sealing scheme and the complexity of the cooling system have become major obstacles to the widespread application. Summary of the invention

通过前述方式形成内部空间 30后, 电路板 20的第一工作区 20a被密封在内部空间 30 中, 且内部空间 30的第一区域 30A和第二区域 30B中具有冷却工质 40, 且所述电路板 20上 的第一电子元件 211浸没于所述冷却工质 40中。  After the internal space 30 is formed by the foregoing manner, the first working area 20a of the circuit board 20 is sealed in the internal space 30, and the first working area 30A and the second area 30B of the internal space 30 have the cooling medium 40 therein, and The first electronic component 211 on the circuit board 20 is immersed in the cooling medium 40.
冷却工质 40与第一元件 211直接接触, 因此冷却工质 40应为具有电绝缘性、 热稳定 性且对电路板 20及其上的电子元件没有腐蚀性。 冷区工质 40具有电绝缘性, 不会导致电 路短路; 冷却工质 40具有热稳定性, 长期工作在高温下不分解不变质。 符合前述要求的 冷却工质 40例如为:  The cooling medium 40 is in direct contact with the first member 211, so the cooling medium 40 should be electrically insulating, thermally stable, and non-corrosive to the circuit board 20 and the electronic components thereon. The cold working fluid 40 has electrical insulation and does not cause short circuit of the circuit; the cooling medium 40 has thermal stability, and does not decompose and deteriorate without being worked at a high temperature for a long time. The cooling medium 40 that meets the foregoing requirements is, for example:
3M™公司的 Novec™型的冷却液、 矿物油、 硅油、 天然酯油或合成酯油。  3MTM's NovecTM type coolant, mineral oil, silicone oil, natural ester oil or synthetic ester oil.
内部空间 30中应填充足够的冷却工质 40, 以浸没需要进行冷却处理的第一电子元件 211。 具体而言, 在本实施方式中, 冷却工质 40填满了内部空间 30, 电路板 20的第一工 作区 20a上的第一电子元件 211浸没于冷却工质 40中。 请再参阅图 2所示, 壳体 10与电路板 20接合后, 在壳体 10中除了形成内部空间 30, 还形成位于密闭的内部空间 30外侧的两个外侧空间 50。 The internal space 30 should be filled with a sufficient cooling medium 40 to immerse the first electronic component 211 that needs to be cooled. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the cooling medium 40 fills the internal space 30, and the first electronic component 211 on the first working area 20a of the circuit board 20 is immersed in the cooling medium 40. Referring to FIG. 2 again, after the housing 10 is joined to the circuit board 20, in addition to the internal space 30, the housing 10 is formed with two outer spaces 50 located outside the sealed internal space 30.
每个外侧空间 50由第一表面 121、 第一侧壁 123、 第一隔离壁 125以及第二表面 141、 第二侧壁 143和第二隔离壁 145形成, 电路板 20的第二工作区 20b位于外侧空间 50中。 由 于电路板 20的第二工作区 20b上设置的第二元件 213在工作过程中不需要进行特别的冷 却处理也可维持较长时间的稳定性, 因此, 外侧空间 50中不需要相应设置冷却工质。  Each of the outer spaces 50 is formed by a first surface 121, a first side wall 123, a first partition wall 125 and a second surface 141, a second side wall 143 and a second partition wall 145, and the second working area 20b of the circuit board 20 Located in the outer space 50. Since the second component 213 disposed on the second working area 20b of the circuit board 20 does not require special cooling treatment during operation, the stability of the second component 213 can be maintained for a long period of time. Therefore, the outer space 50 does not need to be provided with a corresponding cooling device. quality.
本发明实施方式中, 当电子设备 100工作时, 电路板 20的第一工作区 20a上的第一元 件 211产生的热量, 由于第一元件 211是浸没于冷却工质 40中, 冷却工质 40直接与第一元 件 211充分接触, 因此第一元件 211产生的热量被冷却工质 40吸收, 达成对发热元件的冷 却处理, 以维持电子设备 100的工作温度在正常的阈值范围。 更详细而言, 以密封于第 一区域 30A中的冷区工质 40为例进行说明,位于第一元件 211周围处的冷却工质 40因与第 一元件 211直接接触, 吸收热量较快, 吸收热量后温度升高; 与之相比, 位于靠近第一 平板 121或第一隔离壁 125附近处的冷却工质 40由于距发热的第一元件 211相对较远, 吸 收热量较慢, 温度上升较慢, 因此与靠近第一元件 211周围处的冷却工质 40相比, 位于 靠近第一平板 121或第一隔离壁 125附近处的冷却工质 40的温度相对较低, 因此冷却工质 40之间根据距离第一元件 211远近之不同存在温差, 温度高的冷却工质 40会从靠近第一 元件 211的位置朝向第一平板 121或第一隔离壁 125的方向流动, 温度较低的冷却工质 40 则相反, 从靠近第一平板 121或第一隔离壁 125的位置朝着靠近第一元件 211的位置流动, 由此冷却工质 40在第一区域 30A中形成了一个自然的对流, 实现对第一元件 211的冷却处 理。 进一步的, 当温度较高的冷却工质 40流通到靠近第一平板 121或第一隔离壁 125的位 置时, 由于远离了第一元件 211, 其吸收的热量变少, 且可通过第一平板 121或第一隔离 壁 125进一步向外部散热, 因此冷却工质 40的温度会随之下降; 另一方面, 当温度较低 的冷却工质 40流通到第一元件 211附近时, 由于和第一元件 211直接接触, 可在第一时间 吸收第一元件 211散发的热量, 温度随之上升, 因此第一区域 30A中存在温差的冷却工质 40之间又将开始新的一轮对流循环。  In the embodiment of the present invention, when the electronic device 100 is in operation, the heat generated by the first component 211 on the first working area 20a of the circuit board 20 is immersed in the cooling medium 40, and the cooling medium 40 is cooled. Direct contact with the first element 211 is sufficient, so that the heat generated by the first element 211 is absorbed by the cooling medium 40, and a cooling process for the heating element is achieved to maintain the operating temperature of the electronic device 100 within a normal threshold range. In more detail, the cold working fluid 40 sealed in the first region 30A is taken as an example. The cooling medium 40 located around the first component 211 is in direct contact with the first component 211, and absorbs heat quickly. The temperature rises after absorbing heat; in contrast, the cooling medium 40 located near the first plate 121 or the first partition wall 125 is relatively far away from the first element 211 which is heated, and absorbs heat slowly, and the temperature rises. Slower, so the temperature of the cooling medium 40 located near the first plate 121 or the first partition wall 125 is relatively lower than that of the cooling medium 40 near the first element 211, so the cooling medium 40 is cooled. There is a temperature difference between the temperature of the first element 211, and the cooling medium 40 having a high temperature flows from the position close to the first element 211 toward the first plate 121 or the first partition wall 125, and the cooling is performed at a lower temperature. The working fluid 40, on the other hand, flows from a position close to the first flat plate 121 or the first partition wall 125 toward a position close to the first member 211, whereby the cooling medium 40 is shaped in the first region 30A. A natural convection, to achieve the cooling of the first processing element 211. Further, when the cooling medium 40 having a higher temperature flows to a position close to the first flat plate 121 or the first partition wall 125, the heat absorbed by the first element 211 is reduced, and the first plate can be passed. 121 or the first partition wall 125 further dissipates heat to the outside, so the temperature of the cooling medium 40 decreases; on the other hand, when the lower temperature cooling medium 40 circulates near the first element 211, The element 211 is in direct contact, and the heat dissipated by the first element 211 can be absorbed in the first time, and the temperature rises accordingly. Therefore, a new convection cycle will start between the cooling mediums 40 having the temperature difference in the first region 30A.
类似的, 在内部空间 30的第二区域 30B中也可设置有发热的第一元件(图未示), 在 第二区域 30B中的冷却工质 40的工作方式与前述的在第一区域 30A中的冷却工质 40的冷 却方式相同, 在此不再赘述。  Similarly, a first element (not shown) that generates heat may be disposed in the second region 30B of the internal space 30, and the working mode of the cooling medium 40 in the second region 30B is the same as that described above in the first region 30A. The cooling medium 40 in the cooling mode is the same, and will not be described here.

Further, it is preferable that the isolation groove is not provided on the surface of the circuit board, and only the isolation grooves 22, 24 are opened in the reinforcement bosses 212, 213, thereby completely avoiding the damage caused to the surface of the circuit board by the isolation groove.

如前所述, 应理解, 本发明实施方式中描述的电子设备包括但不限于为高性能计算 机、 小型机、 通用服务器、 路由器、 光传送设备等设备。 此外, 需要特别指出的是, 本发明实施方式中是以刀片 /单板为例说明本发明的浸 没式冷却方案, 应理解, 本发明也适用于采用浸没式冷却方式的其他电子装置。 As previously mentioned, it should be understood that the electronic devices described in the embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, high performance computers, minicomputers, general purpose servers, routers, optical transmission devices, and the like. In addition, it should be particularly noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, the immersion type cooling scheme of the present invention is illustrated by taking a blade/single board as an example, and it should be understood that the present invention is also applicable to other electronic devices using the immersion cooling method.
综上所述, 本发明实施方式的浸没式冷却的电子设备中, 电路板上层和下层上具有 隔离槽, 壳体的隔离壁与电路板上的隔离槽对应紧密接合后可在壳体中形成密闭的内部 空间。 通过在内部空间中灌注冷却工质, 将电源、 处理器、 存储器等发热电子元件浸没 在冷却工质中进行冷却处理; 另一方面,不需进行冷却处理的电子元件,尤其是连接器, 隔离设置于密闭的内部空间外部。 本发明实施例中, 由于密封结构简单, 且未采用易于 出现老化的密封胶或密封条形, 提高了密封的可靠性。 并且, 由于连接器设置在浸没区 外边, 不需要对连接器进行密封处理, 从而密封方案的实现更加简单, 同时, 也因为不 需要密封处理而不需要引入额外的用于密封处理的器件, 从而降低了成本。 其次, 由于 隔离槽的开设并未破坏电路板的走线层, 因而整个电路板未分成几个部分相互连接, 从 而在一个电路板上即可完成信号走线设计, 无需设计多块电路板, 进而也避免设计多块 电路板之间相互间的连接以及设计连接器的密封, 既降低了设计成本, 也节省了因引入 连接器、 连接线缆而导致的硬件成本。 由此可见, 本发明实施例的密封结构简单可行, 不影响电路板走线层, 且可有效防止冷却工质通过设备空洞外泄, 具有密封结构简单且 可靠性高、 成本低、 易加工生产的优点。 进一步的, 在壳体与电路板接合后, 通过焊接、 胶粘、 压接等方式进一步紧固; 通 过在电路上的两侧对应隔离槽设置具有开口的加固凸台, 壳体的隔离壁穿过加固凸台中 的开口与隔离槽接合, 可进一步加强整体的密闭效果。  In summary, in the immersed cooling electronic device of the embodiment of the present invention, the upper and lower layers of the circuit board have isolation trenches, and the partition walls of the housing are closely coupled with the isolation trenches on the circuit board to form in the housing. Closed interior space. By immersing the cooling medium in the internal space, the heating electronic components such as the power supply, the processor, and the memory are immersed in the cooling medium for cooling; on the other hand, the electronic components that do not need to be cooled, especially the connector, are isolated. Set outside the closed internal space. In the embodiment of the present invention, since the sealing structure is simple, and the sealant or the sealing strip which is prone to aging is not used, the reliability of the sealing is improved. Moreover, since the connector is disposed outside the immersion area, the connector does not need to be sealed, so that the sealing scheme is realized more simply, and also because no sealing treatment is required and no additional device for sealing treatment is required, thereby Reduced costs. Secondly, since the opening of the isolation trench does not damage the trace layer of the circuit board, the entire circuit board is not connected to each other, so that the signal trace design can be completed on one circuit board without designing multiple circuit boards. In addition, it avoids designing the connection between multiple boards and designing the seal of the connector, which not only reduces the design cost, but also saves the hardware cost caused by the introduction of the connector and the connection of the cable. It can be seen that the sealing structure of the embodiment of the invention is simple and feasible, does not affect the wiring layer of the circuit board, and can effectively prevent the cooling working medium from leaking out through the cavity of the device, has the advantages of simple sealing structure, high reliability, low cost and easy processing and production. The advantages. Further, after the housing is joined to the circuit board, the fastening is further tightened by welding, gluing, crimping, etc.; the reinforcing boss having the opening is provided by the corresponding isolation groove on both sides of the circuit, and the partition wall of the casing is worn. The opening in the reinforcing boss is engaged with the isolation groove to further enhance the overall sealing effect.
