Abstract

The present disclosure provides a cooling casing and a cooling device applied to a vehicle and an in-vehicle server. The cooling device applied to the in-vehicle server includes: a first housing and a second housing, an accommodating cavity is formed between the first housing and the second housing; and a cooling duct, the cooling duct being spirally disposed in the accommodating cavity, two ends of the cooling duct are connected to an external cooling system, and the cooling duct is filled with cooling liquid. The present disclosure is simple in structure and low in costs, and can effectively resolve the heat dissipation problem of the in-vehicle server.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cooling device, applied to an in-vehicle server, comprising:
a first housing-part and a second housing-part, wherein an accommodating cavity is formed by the first housing-part and the second housing-part; and
a cooling duct, wherein the cooling duct is spirally disposed in the accommodating cavity, two ends of the cooling duct extend out of the accommodating cavity are connected to an external cooling system, and the cooling duct is filled with cooling liquid,
wherein the first housing is attached to a surface of a chassis of the in-vehicle server, and the cooling duct is coiled in a snakelike manner along the surface of the chassis,
wherein an installation groove is disposed inside the accommodating cavity, and the cooling duct is embedded in the installation groove, wherein a groove surface of the installation groove is arc-shaped and fits an outer surface of the cooling duct.

2. The cooling device according to claim 1 , wherein filling solder is disposed between a groove surface of the installation groove and an outer surface of the cooling duct.

3. The cooling device according to claim 1 , wherein the two ends of the cooling duct separately are connected with the external cooling system through a liquid circulation connector.

4. The cooling device according to claim 1 , wherein the first housing-part and the second housing-part are soldered together.

5. A cooling casing of an in-vehicle server, comprising: at least two cooling devices of the in-vehicle server according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling devices are respectively disposed on different casing surfaces of the in-vehicle server, and cooling ducts of the cooling devices are connected end-to-end to form a communicating cooling duct.

6. An in-vehicle server, comprising the cooling casing of the in-vehicle server according to claim 5 .

7. A vehicle, comprising the in-vehicle server according to claim 6 .
