Abstract

A cooling device includes a cooling tank, a support frame, and a rotary shaft. The cooling tank accommodates coolant and an electronic device. The electronic device is immersed in the coolant. The support frame defines an opening in a first side plate and a receiving space communicating with the opening. The cooling tank is received in the receiving space. The cooling tank includes a base plate and a sidewall. The rotary shaft is rotationally mounted to a bottom corner of the cooling tank formed by the base plate and the sidewall. The rotary shaft serves as a rotating axis of the cooling tank to rotate the cooling tank out of the opening.

Claims (60)

1. A cooling device configured to cool an electronic device, the cooling device comprising:

a cooling tank accommodating a coolant and the electronic device, the electronic device being immersed in the coolant;

a support frame; and

a rotary shaft; wherein:

the support frame comprises a first side plate, a second side plate, a first support plate, and a second support plate;

the first support plate is opposite to the second support plate;

the second side plate is coupled between the first support plate and the second support plate;

the first side plate is coupled to the first support plate and spaced apart from the second support plate to define an opening;

the first side plate, the second side plate, the first support plate, and the second support plate cooperatively define a receiving space for receiving the cooling tank;

the cooling tank is rotationally coupled to the second support plate of the support frame by the rotary shaft; and

the rotary shaft is a rotating axis of the cooling tank, the rotary shaft rotating the cooling tank out of the opening.

2. The cooling device of claim 1 further comprising a limiting component; wherein:

the limiting component is telescopically mounted between the second side plate and a sidewall of the cooling tank; and

the limiting component is configured to control an inclined angle of the cooling tank being rotated relative to the support frame.

3. The cooling device of claim 2 , wherein:

the limiting component comprises a first rod portion and a second rod portion;

a first end of the first rod portion is hinge-coupled to the sidewall of the cooling tank, and a first end of the second rod portion is hinge-coupled to the second side plate;

a second end of the first rod portion is hinge-coupled to a second end of the second rod portion; and

a total length of the first rod portion and the second rod portion is greater than a distance between the first side plate and the second side plate.

4. The cooling device of claim 2 , wherein:

the cooling tank comprises a pedal fixedly mounted on an outer surface of the sidewall.

5. The cooling device of claim 2 , wherein:

the cooling tank further comprises a pulling rod fixedly mounted on an outer surface of the sidewall.

6. The cooling device of claim 1 , wherein:

the support frame further comprises a shock absorber fixedly mounted on the second support plate within the receiving space;

the shock absorber is configured to buffer a base plate of the cooling tank when the cooling tank is received within the receiving space.

7. The cooling device of claim 1 , wherein:

a cabinet is mounted on the first support plate.

8. The cooling device of claim 1 , wherein:

the coolant is an insulating liquid.

9. A cooling device comprising:

a cooling tank accommodating a coolant and an electronic device, the electronic device being immersed in the coolant;

a support frame; and

a rotary shaft; wherein:

the support frame defines an opening in a first side plate and a receiving space communicating with the opening;

the cooling tank is received in the receiving space;

the cooling tank comprises a base plate and a sidewall;

the rotary shaft is rotationally mounted to a bottom corner of the cooling tank formed by the base plate and the sidewall; and

the rotary shaft is a rotating axis of the cooling tank, the rotary shaft rotating the cooling tank out of the opening.

10. The cooling device of claim 9 further comprising a limiting component; wherein:

the limiting component is telescopically mounted between the support frame and the sidewall of the cooling tank; and

the limiting component is configured to control an inclined angle of the cooling tank being rotated relative to the support frame.

11. The cooling device of claim 10 , wherein:

the support frame comprises a second side plate opposite to the first side plate;

the limiting component comprises a first rod portion and a second rod portion;

a first end of the first rod portion is hinge-coupled to the sidewall of the cooling tank, and a first end of the second rod portion is hinge-coupled to the second side plate of the support frame;

a second end of the first rod portion is hinge-coupled to a second end of the second rod portion; and

a total length of the first rod portion and the second rod portion is greater than a distance between the first side plate and the second side plate.

12. The cooling device of claim 10 , wherein:

the cooling tank comprises a pedal fixedly mounted on an outer surface of the sidewall;

the pedal is adjacent to the bottom corner formed by the sidewall and the base plate; and

the pedal is adapted for rotating the cooling tank out of the opening when the pedal is pressed.

13. The cooling device of claim 12 , wherein:

the cooling tank further comprises a pulling rod fixedly mounted on an outer surface of the sidewall adjacent to an end of the sidewall away from the pedal; and

when the pulling rod is pulled, the cooling tank is rotated out of the opening.

14. The cooling device of claim 13 , wherein:

the support frame further comprises a shock absorber fixedly mounted on the second support plate within the receiving space; and

the shock absorber is configured to buffer a base plate of the cooling tank when the cooling tank is received within the receiving space.

15. The cooling device of claim 14 , wherein:

a cabinet is mounted on the support frame.
