  • Patent number: 10754397
    Abstract: A water-cooled server and an electronic device are provided. The water-cooled server comprises a cooling main tubing, wherein the cooling main tubing guides cooling water; a drainage branch tubing operatively coupled to cooling main tubing; a piston having a first end disposed in the drainage branch tubing and a second end disposed in the cooling main tubing, wherein the first end drives the second end to a first position under pressure of the cooling water to prevent the second end from plugging the cooling main tubing; and an elastic member operatively coupled to the piston, wherein the elastic member drives the second end of the piston to move to a second position to plug the cooling main tubing. An elastic force applied to the piston by the elastic member is smaller than maximum pressure applied to the piston by the cooling water.

  • Patent number: 9307677
    Abstract: An electronic device with component detaching function includes a casing, a cover and an electronic component. An opening is formed on the casing. The cover is adapted to shelter the opening. The cover is movably disposed on the casing close to the opening, and can move relative to the casing to be switched between a first position and a second portion. The cover includes a first connecting portion. The electronic component including a second connecting portion is detachably disposed on the opening. The second connecting portion is detachably assembled with the first connecting portion. When the electronic component is separated from the casing, the electronic component utilizes an assembly of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion to slide the cover relative to the casing, and the cover moves from the first position to the second portion.
