数据中心包括设于机房内的服务器,服务器包括机箱以及装配于机箱内的电子设备,电子设备内的电子器件产生的热量会提高数据中心的温度。为增强数据中心的散热性能,可在电子设备中采用浸没液冷的方式对发热的电子器件进行散热。相关技术中,一些采用浸没液冷方式进行散热的电子设备包括壳体以及设于壳体内的电子器件,壳体内容纳有用于浸没冷却电子器件的冷却工质,壳体上开设有供冷却工质进出的工质通流孔,工质通流孔处紧固连接有第一连接器,第一连接器在对应的工质通流孔处与壳体密封连接,工质通流孔处的第一连接器用于与工质冷却系统上对应的第二连接器对接,以使从壳体内流出的液冷介质经过工质冷却系统冷却后再流回壳体内。然而,为实现电子设备与工质冷却系统能够稳定、可靠的装配,相关技术的电子设备中,对工质通流孔处的连接器的位置精度要求较高。
因此,如何在电子设备与工质冷却系统能够稳定、可靠装配的前提下,既便于在工质通流孔处进行密封,又可降低对工质通流孔处的连接器的位置精度要求成为一个亟待解决的问题。

第二连接器114用于工质冷却系统113通过第一连接器500向电子设备111内输入冷却工质,或者第二连接器114用于电子设备111通过第一连接器500向工质冷却系统113输出冷却工质。具体来说,设于工质冷却系统113的输出端的第二连接器114用于工质冷却系统113通过第一连接器500向电子设备111的壳体200内输入冷却工质,设于工质冷却系统113的输入端的第二连接器114用于电子设备111的壳体200通过第一连接器500向工质冷却系统113输出冷却工质。
示例性的,为便于装配,工质冷却系统113的第二连接器114可设置于机箱112的背板上,电子设备111在安装到机箱112内后,可使工质通流孔210处的第一连接器500与背板上对应的第二连接器114对接。
然而,在相关技术的电子设备中,为便于工质通流孔处的密封,第一连接器紧固连接在壳体的工质通流孔处,并在工质通流孔处与壳体密封,由于第一连接器固定在壳体上,第二连接器固定在机箱内,电子设备装配到机箱内后,要使第一连接器在与对应的第二连接器能够进行稳定、可靠的对接,需要使第一连接器与对应的第二连接器正对,即便第一连接器采用盲插连接器,盲插连接器自身浮动的角度和位移也非常有限,若第一连接器与对应的第二连接器的相对位置偏斜稍大,则可能导致第一连接器与对应的第二连接器不能顺利连接,或者导致第一连接器与对应的第二连接器连接后可靠性和稳定性较差。因此,相关技术中的电子设备,对第一连接器的位置精度要求较高,导致第一连接器在电子设备上的设置位置的精度要求较高,电子设备相对于第二连接器的装配位置的精度要求也较高。
下面通过具体实施例对本申请实施例提供的电子设备的实现方式进行阐述。
图4为本申请实施例提供的一种电子设备的部分结构的示意图。其中,图4中仅示出了壳体200上的一个工质通流孔210处的第一连接器500的装配示意图,壳体200上的其他的工质通流孔210处也可以参照相同的方式装配第一连接器500。
如图4所示,本申请实施例提供的电子设备111,可以包括壳体200、软管300、安装支架400、密封结构600、浮动结构700以及第一连接器500。
壳体200上设置有工质通流孔210,软管300的一端通过工质通流孔210位于壳体200内,软管300的另一端位于壳体外,并与第一连接器500连通。软管300在工质通流孔210处通过密封结构600与壳体200紧固连接,密封结构600密封软管300与壳体200之间的间隙。
可以理解的是,第一连接器500用于与工质冷却系统113的对应的第二连接器114连接,以使工质冷却系统113通过第二连接器114、第一连接器500和软管300与壳体200内腔连通。
需要说明的是,通过软管300穿入壳体200内连通壳体200内腔,再通过密封结构600密封软管300的外壁与壳体200之间的间隙,工质通流孔210处的密封较为方便;软管300 从与壳体200交接位置到浮动结构700之间的部分均可进行伸缩、弯折等活动,浮动结构700与壳体200之间可活动的软管300的长度较长,可减小浮动结构700与壳体200之间的间隔或者增大浮动结构700的浮动量,利于浮动结构700的布置,以及减小空间的占用,且壳体200的结构可以更为简单、制造可以更为容易。
在本申请实施例中,安装支架400位于壳体200的外侧,安装支架400的一端与壳体200紧固连接,浮动结构700安装于安装支架400的另一端,第一连接器500安装于浮动结构700上。其中,浮动结构700与安装支架400活动连接;和/或,第一连接器500与浮动结构700活动连接。
需要说明的是,可以使浮动结构700与安装支架400紧固连接,第一连接器500与浮动结构700活动连接;也可以使浮动结构700与安装支架400活动连接,第一连接器500与浮动结构700紧固连接;还可以使浮动结构700与安装支架400活动连接,第一连接器500与浮动结构700也活动连接。
可以理解的是,第一连接器500安装在浮动结构700上,且浮动结构700安装在安装支架400上后,第一连接器500可以相对于安装支架400和壳体200活动。具体来说,第一连接器500可以相对于安装支架400滑动和/或转动和/或摆动等。
这样,电子设备111与工质冷却系统113进行装配时,即便第一连接器500和对应的第二连接器114的相对位置存在一定的偏差,也可通过浮动结构700调整第一连接器500的位置来使第一连接器500与对应的第二连接器114稳定、可靠的连接。第一连接器500与工质冷却系统113的第二连接器114连接后,壳体200的内腔与工质冷却系统113的内腔连通,且软管300与壳体之间通过密封结构600进行密封。如此,在电子设备111与工质冷却系统113能够稳定、可靠装配的前提下,壳体200在工质通流孔210处进行密封较为方便,且对第一连接器500的位置精度要求较低,进而可降低对第一连接器500在电子设备111上的设置位置的精度要求,以及降低对电子设备111相对于第二连接器114的装配位置的精度要求。
需要说明的是,为增大第一连接器500的浮动量,第一连接器500可以为自身可活动的盲插连接器。当然,为节约成本,第一连接器500也可为自身不可活动的连接器。这样,可使第一连接器500的选择更加多样。

需要说明的是,弹性调节套720套设于安装部530外,并将安装部530夹紧。第二端510可在外力的作用下,使安装部530挤压弹性调节套720以使弹性调节套720变形,以改变第二端510的位置。
可以理解的是,弹性调节套720可以由硅胶、橡胶等弹性材料制成,弹性调节套720还可为第一连接器500提供使其复位的弹性回复力。安装部530通过弹性调节套720安装于安装槽711内后,第二端510和安装部530与安装座710形成摇杆结构,第二端510可以向垂直于弹性调节套720的轴向的任一方向摆动。
这样,可使第一连接器500的第二端510相对于壳体200在弹性调节套720的任一径向方向摆动,在电子设备111固定在机箱112内后,可改变第一连接器500的第二端510与其对应的第二连接器114在垂直于弹性调节套720的轴向的方向上的相对距离,使第一连接器500的第二端510与其对应的第二连接器114在垂直于弹性调节套720的轴向的方向存在一定偏差时,均能稳定、可靠的连接。
在一些示例中,安装部530为圆柱状结构,安装槽711垂直于安装部530轴向的截面为圆形。这样,利于安装部530带动第二端510在垂直于弹性调节套720的轴向的各个方向摆动。
在一些示例中,第二端510、第一端520和安装部530同轴设置。
这样,利于减小安装座710的尺寸。
在一些示例中,第一端520与软管300在连通孔内连接,软管300伸入连通孔内。
这样,连通孔可以起到限制软管300的部分活动的作用,软管300与第一端520连接后更加稳固。
在一些示例中,安装支架400上还设有限位法兰410,限位法兰410紧固连接于安装支架400背向壳体200的一侧,安装支架400上开设有供第一连接器500的第二端510穿过,并可供第二端510活动的第一开口421,限位法兰410上开设有供第二端510穿过,并可供第二端510活动的第二开口411,第二开口411的边缘设有朝向壳体200的方向伸出的凸环412,凸环412穿过安装支架400上的第一开口421,凸环412朝向壳体200的一端用于与弹性调节套720和安装部530抵接,以限制弹性调节套720和安装部530从安装槽711内脱出。
这样,可以使安装部530和弹性调节套720在安装槽711内装配更加稳固。

这样,可使第一连接器500的第二端510相对于壳体200沿工质通流孔210的轴向移动,在电子设备111固定在机箱112内后,可改变第一连接器500的第二端510与其对应的第二连接器114沿工质通流孔210的轴向的相对距离,以使第一连接器500的第二端510与其对应的第二连接器114在沿工质通流孔210的轴向的相对距离较大或者较小时,均能稳定、可靠的连接。
可以理解的是,安装座500滑动安装在安装支架400上时,第一连接器500可以固定在安装座710上,也可以可活动安装在安装座710上。

在本申请的实施例中,安装支架400与安装座710之间还设有弹性复位件,弹性复位件用于使安装座710复位。
可以理解的是,安装座710在外力的作用下,可以相对于安装支架400滑动,在作用于安装座710上的外力消失后,弹性复位件可以使安装座710恢复到初始位置。
这样,可降低第一连接器500移动到靠近壳体200的位置而增加第一连接器500和对应的第二连接器114装配难度的风险。
在本申请的实施例中,安装座710朝向壳体200的端面上开设有复位件安装孔713,复位件安装孔713为盲孔,滑动孔712开设于复位件安装孔713的孔底。导向柱740朝向壳体200的一端设有与复位件安装孔713滑动配合的抵接座730,弹性复位件为设于复位件安装孔713内的复位弹簧750,复位弹簧750设于抵接座730与复位件安装孔713的孔底之间,复位弹簧750同轴套设于导向柱740的外侧,复位弹簧750的两端分别用于与抵接座730与复位件安装孔713的孔底抵接。

在限位法兰410通过紧固件与安装支架400紧固连接的示例中,限位法兰410可通过紧固连接导向柱740的紧固件与安装支架400紧固连接。
这样,可以减少对紧固件的需求,且可减小紧固件所需占用的空间。
在本申请的实施例中,安装支架400可以包括安装板420、第一支撑板430和第二支撑板440,安装板420与壳体200的外壁间隔设置,安装板420相对的两侧边分别与第一支撑板430和第二支撑板440的一端紧固连接,第一支撑板430和第二支撑板440的另一端与壳体200的外壁紧固连接。

可以理解的是,堵头610可以设于壳体200的外侧,也可以嵌入工质通流孔210内。堵头610设于壳体200的外侧时,堵头610可与壳体200的外壁形成密封;堵头610嵌入工质通流孔210内时,堵头610可与工质通流孔210的孔壁形成密封。
需要说明的是,可以在堵头610与壳体200之间设置密封件,通过堵头610和密封件一起来密封壳体200与软管300之间的间隙;也可以通过调整堵头610的形状和尺寸,使堵头 610的外壁与壳体紧密贴合,并形成密封,直接通过堵头610来密封壳体200与软管300之间的间隙。
示例性的,堵头610可以由环氧树脂等高分子材料制成,软管300可以为塑料管。
这样,壳体200的工质通流孔210与软管300之间的间隙由堵头610进行密封,壳体200内的冷却工质不易通过工质通流孔210发生泄漏,工质通流孔210处的堵头610和软管300的集成度高,且占用空间较小,堵头610、软管300与壳体200装配较为简单,密封较为方便,电子设备111的制造也较为容易。
在本申请的实施例中,堵头610与软管300可以通过密封胶粘接固定,密封胶密封软管300与堵头610的结合处。
这样,堵头610与软管300固定容易,制造成本较为低廉。
在本申请的实施例中,堵头610可以与软管300为一体结构。
这样,堵头610与软管300之间固定稳固,且二者之间的密封性能好,堵头610和软管300装配到工质通流孔210处后,冷却工质不易通过堵头610与软管300连接处泄漏。另外,也可进一步提高软管300、堵头610和壳体200之间的装配和密封的效率,软管300、堵头610和壳体200之间装配和密封更加方便。

在本申请的实施例中,工质通流孔210垂直于其轴向的截面可以为圆形,堵头610垂直于其轴向的截面可以为圆环。这样,利于使堵头610于壳体200之间形成更大的密封面,利于提高密封效果。
当然,在一些示例中,工质通流孔210垂直于其轴向的截面可以为方形或者其他多边形,堵头610垂直于其轴向的截面的外边缘为对应的方形或者其他多边形。
在本申请的实施例中,堵头610至少部分嵌入工质通流孔210内,堵头610嵌入工质通流孔210内的部分密封软管300与工质通流孔210的孔壁之间的间隙。

这样,可通过工质通流孔210的台阶结构限制堵头610在工质通流孔内的位置,可降低堵头610滑入壳体200内的风险,使堵头610和壳体200装配更加容易,且装配后更加稳固,工质通流孔210的孔壁上的台阶结构也利于增大封堵部611与工质通流孔210的孔壁之间的密封面,以提高密封性能。
需要说明的是,封堵部611可以为具有一个台阶面或者多个台阶面的台阶结构。封堵部611为具有多个台阶面的台阶结构时,工质通流孔210的台阶结构可以与封堵部611相互配合形成多个台阶面相互抵接的结构。这样,可以增大封堵部611与工质通流孔210之间的密封面,利于提高密封效果。
可以理解的是,工质通流孔210的台阶结构具有第一竖端面和第一横侧壁,封堵部611具有第二竖端面和第二横侧壁,其中,第一竖端面和第二竖端面与工质通流孔210的轴向垂 直,第一横侧壁和第二横侧壁与工质通流孔210的轴向平行。

具体来说,密封垫631被两端的封堵部611和工质通流孔210的第一竖端面压紧,以密封密封垫631所在位置的第一竖端面与封堵部611之间的间隙。
这样,可以通过被工质通流孔210的第一竖端面和封堵部611夹紧的密封垫631来实现堵头610与工质通流孔210之间的密封,可以降低堵头610的形状和尺寸的精度要求,堵头610与工质通流孔210之间的密封效果好。且密封垫631装配容易,堵头610、密封垫631与壳体200之间的装配效率较高。

具体来说,密封圈632被两侧的封堵部611与工质通流孔210的第一横侧壁压紧,以密封密封圈632所在位置的第一横侧壁与封堵部611之间的间隙。
这样,可通过被工质通流孔210的第一横侧壁和封堵部611压紧的密封圈632来实现堵头610与工质通流孔210之间的密封,可以降低堵头610的形状和尺寸的精度要求,堵头610与工质通流孔210之间的密封效果好。且密封圈632装配好后密封性能受封堵部611轴向移动的影响小,密封性能较为稳定。
可以理解的是,可以仅在工质通流孔210的一个第一横侧壁与封堵部611之间设置密封圈632;在封堵部611具有多段第二横侧壁时,也可以在封堵部611的多段第二横侧壁与工质通流孔210对应的第一横侧壁之间分别设置一个或者多个密封圈632。

这样,密封圈632装配方便,且可降低密封圈632移位的风险,密封效果更加稳定。
可以理解的是,密封结构600可以包括设于工质通流孔210的第一横侧壁与封堵部611之间的密封圈632,不包括设于封堵部611与工质通流孔210的第一竖端面之间的密封垫631;也可以包括设于封堵部611与工质通流孔210的第一竖端面之间的密封垫631,不包括设于工质通流孔210的第一横侧壁与封堵部611之间的密封圈632;还可以即包括设于封堵部611与工质通流孔210的第一竖端面之间的密封垫631,又包括设于工质通流孔210的第一横侧壁与封堵部611之间的密封圈632。

限位部612朝向壳体200内腔的端面与壳体200抵接,以限制封堵部611朝向壳体200的内腔方向移动。
这样,可以通过限位部612限制封堵部611在工质通流孔210内的位置,降低封堵部611对密封垫631或者工质通流孔210的孔壁造成的挤压过度、或者堵头611滑入壳体200内的风险。
示例性的,限位部612为绕封堵部611的周向一周的限位环。这样,限位部612与壳体200抵接稳固,封堵部611不易发生晃动。
在一种可能的实施例,限位部612伸入工质通流孔210内,工质通流孔210的孔壁上具有与限位部612配合的配合部,限位部612与配合部抵接,以限制封堵部612朝向壳体200的内腔方向移动。
可以理解的是,配合部可以为工质通流孔210的孔壁上设置的台状、环状等结构。
工质通流孔210的孔壁上具有台阶结构时,配合部可以为工质通流孔210的台阶结构上的一个第一竖端面。
这样,限位部612不需要与壳体200的外壁抵接,可降低对壳体200外壁的形状的限制,壳体200的外壁在工质通流孔210周围的部分可以为弧面等各种形状。
在本申请的实施例中,限位部612设于封堵部611背向壳体200内腔的一端,且限位部612背向壳体200内腔的端面与封堵部611背向壳体200内腔的一端的端面共面。
这样,在通过压紧件将封堵部611和限位部612压紧固定在壳体200上时,承受挤压力的面大,压紧更为稳定。此外,限位部612和封堵部611的制造也更加容易。另外,也利于减小软管300在壳体200外侧的部分活动的限制。
可以理解的是,限位部612背向壳体200内腔的端面与封堵部611背向壳体200内腔的一端的端面可以共同形成将堵头610与壳体200压紧固定的压紧面。
在本申请的实施例中,堵头610还包括导向部613,导向部613与封堵部611同轴设置,封堵部611朝向壳体200的内腔的一端与导向部613的一端紧固连接,导向部613的另一端通过工质通流孔210伸入壳体200内。软管300贯穿导向部613,并与导向部613紧固连接,软管300与导向部613结合处密封。
这样,导向部613可以限制其内包覆的软管300的运动,可降低处于工质通流孔210处的软管300因随意摆动而造成损坏的风险。
在本申请的实施例中,导向部613与工质通流孔210间隙配合。
这样,导向部613可起到定位的作用,利于堵头610的装配,且堵头610装配到壳体200上后更加稳定。
在本申请的实施例中,堵头610背向壳体200内腔的一端位于工质通流孔210内。
这样,可以减少壳体200外凸出的结构,壳体200与堵头610装配后的整体的空间性能更好。
在本申请的实施例中,堵头610可设于壳体200的外侧,堵头610朝向壳体200内腔的端面与壳体200的外壁之间设有密封垫,密封垫用于密封堵头610朝向壳体200内腔的端面与工质通流孔210背向壳体200内腔一端之间的间隙。
本申请实施例提供的电子设备111,密封结构600还包括压紧法兰620,压紧法兰620通过紧固件紧固连接在壳体200的外壁上,压紧法兰620与堵头610背向壳体200内腔的一端 的端面抵接,以将堵头610压紧固定在壳体200上。
这样,堵头610与壳体200之间安装较为方便。
可以理解的是,压紧法兰620可以通过铆钉等紧固件与壳体200不可拆卸连接,也可以通过螺栓等紧固件与壳体200可拆卸连接。
压紧法兰620可以与封堵部611背向壳体200内腔的一端的端面抵接,即封堵部611背向壳体200内腔的一端的端面可作为堵头610背向壳体200内腔的一端的端面。
在本申请的实施例中,压紧法兰620可以包括基板部621以及在基板部621表面凸出的凸台部622,基板部621通过紧固件紧固连接在壳体200的外壁上,凸台部622伸入工质通流孔210内,并与堵头610背向壳体200内腔的一端的端面抵接,以将堵头610压紧固定在工质通流孔210的孔壁上。
可以理解的是,凸台部622可以与封堵部611和/或限位部612的端面抵接,以将限位部612压紧在配合部上,或者将封堵部611压紧在工质通流孔210的台阶结构上。
这样,压紧法兰620对堵头610抵接稳固,且可减小对与壳体200紧固连接的基板部621的形状的限制,基板部621可以为平板状或者弯板状等各种形状。
在本申请的实施例中,压紧法兰620通过紧固件与壳体200可拆卸连接。
这样,堵头610和软管300拆装方便,便于堵头610和软管300的维护和更换。
在本申请的实施例中,紧固连接压紧法兰620和壳体200的紧固件为与壳体200螺纹连接的螺纹紧固件。这样,堵头610与壳体200之间拆装均较为方便,且利于调节压紧法兰620对堵头610的压紧力。
可以理解的是,螺纹紧固件可以为螺钉、螺栓、螺柱等。
在本申请的实施例中,堵头610通过密封胶与工质通流孔210的孔壁和/或壳体200的外壁紧固连接,密封胶密封堵头610的侧壁与壳体200之间的间隙。
这样,密封胶既可将堵头610固定在工质通流孔210处,又能密封堵头610与工质通流孔210之间的间隙,可减少配件的数量。
在一些示例中,密封结构600也可以包括密封板,软管300贯穿密封板,软管300与密封板紧固连接,且软管300与密封板交接处密封,密封板与壳体200紧固连接,密封板密封软管300与壳体200之间的间隙。
在本申请实施例中,通过软管300连通壳体200内腔和第一连接器500,软管300与壳体200之间通过密封结构600密封,软管300与壳体200之间密封较为方便,第一连接器500通过安装支架400上的浮动结构700安装在壳体200上,第一连接器500相对于壳体200可活动,软管300从与壳体200交接位置到浮动结构700之间的部分均可进行伸缩、弯折等活动,浮动结构700与壳体200之间可活动的软管300的长度较长,可减小浮动结构700与壳体200之间的间隔或者增大浮动结构700的浮动量,利于浮动结构700的布置,以及减小空间的占用。另外,壳体200的结构可以更为简单、制造可以更为容易。第一连接器500在与工质冷却系统113上对应的第二连接器114连接时,即便第一连接器500和工质液冷系统113上对应的第二连接器114的相对位置存在一定的偏差,也可通过浮动结构700调整第一连接器500的位置来使第一连接器500与对应的第二连接器114稳定、可靠的连接。这样,在电子设备111与工质冷却系统113能够稳定、可靠装配的前提下,壳体200在工质通流孔210处进行密封较为方便,对第一连接器500的位置精度要求较低,进而可降低对第一连接器500在电子设备111上的设置位置的精度要求,以及降低对电子设备111相对于第二连接器114的装配位置的精度要求。
在本申请实施例的描述中,需要说明的是,除非另有明确的规定和限定,术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”应作广义理解,例如,可以是固定连接,也可以是通过中间媒介间接相连,可以是两个元件内部的连通或者两个元件的相互作用关系。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言,可以根据具体情况理解上述术语在本申请实施例中的具体含义。
本申请实施例的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”、“第四”等(如果存在)是用于区别类似的对象,而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。
最后应说明的是:以上各实施例仅用以说明本申请实施例的技术方案,而非对其限制;尽管参照前述各实施例对本申请实施例进行了详细的说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解:其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改,或者对其中部分或者全部技术特征进行等同替换;而这些修改或者替换,并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请实施例各实施例技术方案的范围。
