Rack system for managing cable/tube bundles in liquid-cooled cases
A patent application (Publication Number: US20240026996A1) describes a rack system designed to house liquid-cooled cases containing electronic assemblies. The system includes a rack frame that allows for easy racking and de-racking operations of the liquid-cooled cases, with an opening to accommodate cable/tube bundles for servicing. An articulating scissor structure supports and guides the cable/tube bundle during these operations by extending and contracting its arms to accommodate the movement of the cases. The system aims to efficiently manage the cooling and communication needs of the electronic assemblies within the rack.
Furthermore, the articulating scissor structure includes features such as flat surface and retaining sidewall portions on its arms to facilitate hinged coupling, fasteners for detachable connections, and rotatable coupling elements or strain-relief fittings to guide the cable/tube bundle effectively. The system also incorporates a flexible spring structure to control the movement of the arms and a closed-loop cooled liquid distribution arrangement within the liquid-cooled cases. Overall, the design of the rack system and articulating scissor structure aims to optimize the management of cable/tube bundles for electrical and fluid communication in a liquid-cooled environment, enhancing the efficiency and functionality of the electronic assemblies housed within the rack.
