Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) on Patent Application No(s). 113142535 filed in Taiwan, R.O.C. on Nov. 6, 2024, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD The disclosure relates to a joint auxiliary assembly and a joint assembly, more particularly to a joint auxiliary assembly and a joint assembly including at least one electronic control assembly. BACKGROUND Due to the high specific heat capacity of liquid, a liquid-cooling system is widely used to cool an electronic device, such as a server. In order to prevent the electronic device from being damaged due to the leakage of the working liquid in the liquid-cooling system, a solenoid valve is usually disposed in the tubing of the liquid-cooling system, so as to close the tubing when the leakage of the working liquid is detected. Specifically, the solenoid valve includes a solenoid and a plunger, and the solenoid is configured to drive the plunger to close or open the tubing of the liquid-cooling system. However, the plunger of the solenoid valve is located in the tubing and thus is subjected to the pressure generated by the working fluid flowing in the tubing. Thus, the plunger of the solenoid valve is required to have large volume to be moved in the tubing by overcoming the said pressure, which enlarges the volume of the solenoid valve. In this way, the space utilization of the space for accommodating the liquid-cooling system is inefficient. SUMMARY The disclosure provides a joint auxiliary assembly of small volume and a joint assembly including the same. One embodiment of this disclosure provides a joint auxiliary assembly configured to detach a first joint and a second joint and including a mounting barrel, a first elastic component, a restricting barrel, an electronic control assembly and a liquid detecting unit. A side of the mounting barrel has a plurality of blocking portions, and the mounting barrel is configured to be connected to the first joint. The first elastic component is disposed in the mounting barrel. An end of the first elastic component presses against the plurality of blocking portions. The restricting barrel is movably disposed on the mounting barrel along an axial direction of the mounting barrel. The plurality of blocking portions is surrounded by the restricting barrel and rests on the restricting barrel. The electronic control assembly is disposed on the mounting barrel. At least a part of the liquid detecting unit is disposed on the mounting barrel, and the liquid detecting unit is connected to the electronic control assembly. The electronic control assembly is configured to move the plurality of blocking portions by moving the restricting barrel based on the liquid detecting unit. Another embodiment of this disclosure provides a joint assembly including a first joint, a second joint and a joint auxiliary assembly. The second joint is jointed to the first joint. The joint auxiliary assembly includes a mounting barrel, a first elastic component, a restricting barrel, an electronic control assembly and a liquid detecting unit. A side of the mounting barrel has a plurality of blocking portions, and the mounting barrel is connected to the first joint. The first elastic component is disposed in the mounting barrel. An end of the first elastic component presses against the plurality of blocking portions. The restricting barrel is movably disposed on the mounting barrel along an axial direction of the mounting barrel. The plurality of blocking portions is surrounded by the restricting barrel and rests on the restricting barrel. The electronic control assembly is disposed on the mounting barrel. At least a part of the liquid detecting unit is disposed on the mounting barrel, and the liquid detecting unit is connected to the electronic control assembly. The electronic control assembly is configured to move the plurality of blocking portions by moving the restricting barrel based on the liquid detecting unit. According to the joint auxiliary assembly and the joint assembly disclosed by above embodiments, the restricting barrel is movably disposed on the mounting barrel along the axial direction of the mounting barrel, the blocking portions are surrounded by the restricting barrel and rest on the restricting barrel, and at least a part of the liquid detecting unit is disposed on the mounting barrel and connected to the electronic control assembly. Thus, the electronic control assembly is allowed to move the restricting barrel based on the liquid detecting unit so as to move the blocking portions, thereby detaching the first joint and the second joint from each other by the first elastic component. Thus, when the working liquid is leaked from the position where the first joint and the second joint are jointed, the first joint and the second joint are detached from each other, and thus the leaked working liquid is prevente
