The present disclosure relates to a cooling distribution unit, especially to a plug-in pump installation structure of a cooling distribution unit.
A related-art sever system structure has a plurality of servers arranged in an array format and disposed in a machine cabinet. Each of the servers is disposed with a calculation module, a power supply module and a hard disk or liquid cooling heat dissipation module according to the functions of the servers. Moreover, there are a plurality of machine cases disposed in a related-art machine cabinet, and the amount may be equal to or more than one. As such, at least one cooling distribution unit is disposed in the server system to perform a heat dissipating process to the plurality of servers in the machine cabinet.
The related-art cooling distribution unit includes components, for example, a pump, a heat dissipation sink, and a fan, to perform the heat dissipating process to the heat generating units in the system. However, the pump disposed in the server system is mostly locked by utilizing a screw, thus a tool is needed to unlock the screw when the pump is in a malfunction status or required to be maintained, and the assembly operation is inconvenient. As such a requirement of adjusting the amounts of the pumps or processing a replacing operation may not be achieved according to actual operating needs, thus the practicability in operation is lowered.
Accordingly, the applicant of the present disclosure has devoted himself for overcoming the mentioned disadvantages.
The present disclosure is to provide a plug-in pump installation structure of a cooling distribution unit, in which a plug-in pump is connected into a machine case in a plugging/unplugging way to simplify the detaching or assembling operation.
The present disclosure is to provide a plug-in pump installation structure of a cooling distribution unit, in which a plug-in pump is pivotally connected to a handgrip, the handgrip may be outwardly rotated from one side of the machine case to make an external force be applied to the handgrip, thus the plug-in pump is driven to outwardly move to be released from a plugged status.
Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a plug-in pump installation structure of a cooling distribution unit, the plug-in pump installation structure includes a machine case, a pump seat, a plug-in pump, and a handgrip. The machine case has a slide slot and a plurality of block pieces disposed at opposite sides of the slide slot, and the plurality of block pieces have a plurality of protrusions. The pump seat is disposed in the machine case and has a fixed joint. The plug-in pump has a pump main body and a moveable joint disposed on the pump main body. The plug-in pump is plugged or removed relative to the pump seat through the moveable joint and the fixed joint being connected or released. The handgrip has a handgrip main body and a pair of rotary arms connected to the handgrip main body. One distal end of each of the rotary arm is disposed with a latching hook. The pair of rotary arms are pivotally connected to opposite sides of the pump main body. When the handgrip is folded at one side of the machine case, the latching hook of the rotary arm abuts against the corresponding protrusion, when the handgrip is rotated to be away from the machine case, the latching hooks of the rotary arm is released from the abutted protrusion.
Advantages achieved by the present disclosure are as follows. According to the plug-in pump installation structure of the cooling distribution unit, the pump seat disposed in the machine case has a fixed connector, and the plug-in pump has a moveable connector. As such, the plug-in pump is plugged or released relative to the pump seat through the moveable connector and the fixed connector being connected or disconnected. The plug-in pump has the handgrip. The handgrip has the pair of rotary arms having one distal end thereof being disposed with a latching hook. The rotary arms are pivotally connected to opposite sides of the pump main body, thus the handgrip of the plug-in pump is folded at one side of the machine case or rotated to be away from the machine case through the latching hooks of the rotary arms abutting against or releasing from the protrusions, and the plug-in pump is driven to outwardly move to be released from the plugged status when an external force is applied to the handgrip to make operating procedures, for example maintenances or replacements, be easily processed. Accordingly, the practicability of the present disclosure is increased.
The features of the disclosure believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The disclosure itself, however, may be best understood by reference to the following detailed description of the disclosure, which describes a number of exemplary embodiments of the disclosure, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
The technical contents of this disclosure will become apparent with the detailed description of embodiments accompanied with the illustration of related drawings as follows. It is intended that the embodiments and drawings disclosed herein are to be considered illustrative rather than restrictive.

As shown in
The plug-in pump 30 has a pump main body 31 and a moveable joint 32 disposed on the pump main body 31. The plug-in pump 30 is plugged or removed relative to the pump seat 20 through connection or disconnection between the moveable joint 32 and the fixed joint 21.
In some embodiments, the pump seat 20 has a fixed connector 22 disposed at one side of the fixed joint 21. The plug-in pump 30 has a moveable connector 33 disposed at one side of the moveable joint 32. As such, the plug-in pump 30 is hot plugged relative to the pump seat through connection or disconnection between the moveable connector 33 and the fixed connector 22.
The handgrip 40 has a handgrip main body 41 and a pair of rotary arms 42 correspondingly connected to two sides of the handgrip main body 41. One distal end of each of the rotary arms 42 is disposed with a latching hook 421. The pair of rotary arms 42 are pivotally connected to opposite sides of the pump main body 31 (two sides of the pump main body 31 opposite to each other).
In some embodiments, the handgrip 40 further has a screw 43. The pump main body 31 has a lock hole 310. The handgrip 40 is locked on the pump main body 31 through locking the screw 43 in the lock hole 310. In some embodiments, the screw 43 is an anti-dropping screw disposed on the handgrip main body 41. As such, the screw 43 is prevented from being dropped or lost when the screw 43 is released from the lock hole 310.
