Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, specifically a water-cooled thermostat. Background Technology

[0002] As people's production and lives become increasingly sophisticated, it is becoming more common for workers in various industries to work in extreme environments. Those working in high-temperature environments are highly susceptible to heat stress, which exacerbates fatigue, impairs reaction time, and jeopardizes their health and workplace safety. People are constantly searching for more reasonable and effective methods to protect the physiological health and workplace safety of these workers. To improve the human body's microclimate in high-temperature environments, workers generally choose to use cooling clothing such as air-cooled, water-cooled, ice-cooled, electronically refrigerated, and vortex-cooled clothing to achieve a certain degree of heatstroke prevention and cooling, improve comfort, and ensure workplace safety.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent document CN109123834A discloses a constant temperature protective clothing and its usage method. The application scenario of this patent is relatively simple. It is inconvenient to replace the water in the water-cooling head. After the semiconductor cooling chip is cooled, it comes into contact with the water-cooling head. The surface-cooled water-cooling head exchanges heat with the water flowing inside. However, when the water entering the water-cooling head is hot and flows fast, the water in the water-cooling head does not fully come into contact with the water-cooling head and exchange heat. It then flows back into the condenser tube. After a period of heat accumulation, the heat exchange rate deteriorates, causing the constant temperature effect of the condenser tube to fail to meet expectations.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a water-cooled thermostat that can overcome the above shortcomings in order to better improve heat exchange efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problem of poor heat exchange rate in existing refrigeration equipment, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:

[0006] A water-cooled thermostat includes a water tank and a heat exchange component connected to the water tank and capable of cooling. The water tank has an inner cavity with an open upper end and an installation cavity for accommodating the heat exchange component. The inner cavity has a first water inlet extending outside the water tank. The installation cavity has a first water outlet extending outside the water tank and a second water inlet communicating with the inner cavity. The heat exchange component is located between the second water inlet and the first water outlet. The installation cavity has multiple guide plates.

[0007] To improve the heat exchange effect of the heat exchange assembly, the heat exchange assembly includes a cooling end extending into the mounting cavity and a heat sink connected to the cooling end. The cooling end is provided with a cooling plate near the mounting cavity and a heat dissipation end connected to the heat sink. The heat sink is connected to a cooling fan.

[0008] To improve the heat exchange effect of the heat exchange assembly, the heat exchange assembly also includes a heat exchange pipeline extending into the inner cavity and communicating with the mounting cavity.

[0009] To improve the heat exchange effect, the mounting cavity includes a first mounting cavity connected to the first water inlet and a second mounting cavity connected to the first water outlet. One end of the heat exchange pipeline is connected to the first mounting cavity, and the other end of the heat exchange pipeline is connected to the second mounting cavity.

[0010] To improve the heat exchange effect of the heat exchange component, the cooling plate extends toward the mounting cavity, and multiple cooling plates are provided and spaced apart. Multiple guide plates are also spaced apart and extend toward the cooling plate.

[0011] To improve the contact effect between water and the cooling plate, the guide plate is arranged opposite to the cooling plate, the guide plate extends into the gap between adjacent cooling plates, and the cooling plate extends into the gap between adjacent guide plates.

[0012] To improve the sealing effect between the mounting cavity and the cooling end, a sealing ring is provided between the cooling chip and the mounting cavity, and the mounting cavity is provided with a stepped portion that cooperates with the sealing ring.

[0013] Furthermore, the first mounting cavity is provided with a second water outlet extending to the outside of the tank body.

[0014] Furthermore, the outside of the water tank is provided with a first water inlet assembly connected to the first water inlet end and a first water outlet assembly connected to the first water outlet end, and a water pump is connected to the first water outlet assembly.

[0015] Furthermore, the water tank is also equipped with a removable water tank cover, which is used to seal the upper opening of the inner cavity.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0017] 1. This invention reduces the movement speed of water in the installation cavity by using a guide plate, allowing the water to fully contact the heat exchange components for heat exchange, thus effectively improving the sustainability of water cooling.

[0018] 2. This invention allows for the selection of the operating mode of the heat exchange component according to different application scenarios. When the heat exchange component is running, a cold source can be added to the inner cavity to improve heat exchange efficiency. When the heat exchange component is not running, an external cold source can be added for cooling to meet the usage needs of different scenarios and improve the user experience.

[0019] 3. When the heat exchanger is running, water to be cooled is placed in the water tank. The water containing heat enters the inner cavity from the first inlet end and mixes with the water to be cooled for heat exchange. The heat exchanger, housed in the installation cavity, then cools the water in the inner cavity. After cooling, the water in the inner cavity enters the installation cavity from the second inlet end and completes heat exchange again. The water is then output from the first outlet end. When the liquid temperature in the inner cavity is high, the cold source can be replaced or supplemented. When the heat exchanger is not running, ice cubes or ice packs can be added to the inner cavity. The water containing heat enters the inner cavity from the first inlet end and mixes with the water in the inner cavity for heat exchange. The water in the inner cavity enters the installation cavity from the second inlet end and is then output from the first outlet end. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5The water-cooled thermostat shown includes a water tank 1 and a heat exchange assembly 2 connected to and capable of cooling the water tank 1. The water tank 1 has an inner cavity 8 with an open upper end and a mounting cavity 7 for housing the heat exchange assembly 2. The inner cavity 8 has a first water inlet 51 extending outside the water tank 1. The mounting cavity 7 has a first water outlet 61 extending outside the water tank 1 and a second water inlet 52 communicating with the inner cavity 8. The heat exchange assembly 2 is located between the second water inlet 52 and the first water outlet 61. The mounting cavity 7 is provided with multiple guide plates 73. This invention reduces the water movement rate in the mounting cavity through the guide plates, ensuring sufficient contact between the water and the heat exchange assembly for heat exchange, effectively improving the sustainability of water-cooling.

[0031] This invention allows for the selection of the operating mode of the heat exchange component based on different application scenarios. When the heat exchange component is running, a cold source can be added to the inner cavity to improve heat exchange efficiency. When the heat exchange component is not running, an external cold source can be added for cooling to meet the usage needs of different scenarios and improve the customer's user experience.

[0032] When the heat exchanger is running, water to be cooled is placed in the water tank. The water containing heat enters the inner cavity from the first inlet end and mixes with the water to be cooled for heat exchange. Cooling is achieved by the heat exchanger housed in the installation cavity. The water in the inner cavity enters the installation cavity from the second inlet end, cools down, and completes heat exchange again before being output from the first outlet end. When the liquid temperature in the inner cavity is high, the cold source can be replaced or supplemented. When the heat exchanger is not running, ice cubes or ice packs can be added to the inner cavity. The water containing heat enters the inner cavity from the first inlet end and mixes with the water in the inner cavity for heat exchange. The water in the inner cavity enters the installation cavity from the second inlet end and is output from the first outlet end.

[0033] Optionally, the present invention can be used in water-cooled cooling clothing, which can achieve a certain purpose of heatstroke prevention and cooling, improve human comfort, and ensure work safety.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 5 The water-cooled thermostat shown includes a heat exchange assembly 2 comprising a cooling end 21 extending into the mounting cavity 7 and a radiator 22 connected to the cooling end 21. The cooling end 21 has a cooling plate 211 near the mounting cavity 7 and a heat dissipation end connected to the radiator 22. The radiator 22 is connected to a cooling fan 221. Further, as a preferred embodiment of the invention and not a limitation thereof, the cooling end cools the side facing the mounting cavity. Water moves within the mounting cavity and contacts the side of the cooling end facing the mounting cavity, thus forming a heat exchange. Heat generated on the other side of the cooling end is transferred to the radiator by the heat dissipation end. The radiator blows the heat out through the cooling fan, thereby rapidly cooling the heat dissipation end to prevent heat accumulation and improve the cooling effect of the cooling end.

[0035] Optionally, the cooling chip is a semiconductor cooling chip.

[0036] Specifically, the radiator is located between the water tank and the cooling fan, and the hot air blown out by the cooling fan moves away from the water tank.

[0037] Specifically, the radiator is made of metal and has multiple fins spaced apart. The heat generated on the other side of the cooling end can be quickly transferred to the radiator, and the cooling fan quickly carries away the heat and moves the hot air away from the water tank.

[0038] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The water-cooled thermostat shown includes a heat exchange assembly 2 that further extends into the inner cavity 8 and communicates with the mounting cavity 7 via a heat exchange pipe 23. Further, as a preferred embodiment of the invention and not a limitation thereof, when the cooling end is not activated, ice cubes or ice packs can be added to the inner cavity. When water enters the inner cavity from the first inlet, after the first heat exchange, the water enters the mounting cavity from the second inlet. Through the heat exchange pipe communicating with the mounting cavity, the water undergoes another heat exchange with the cold water in the inner cavity, and finally, the water is output from the first outlet.

[0039] When the cooling unit is started, after the water in the first mounting cavity is cooled down, the cooled water and the water in the inner cavity exchange heat once through the heat exchange pipe connected to the mounting cavity, so that the water temperature in the inner cavity is lowered. This creates a certain temperature difference with the hot water entering from the first inlet, so that the hot water entering from the first inlet can smoothly exchange heat with the water in the inner cavity.

[0040] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention and not a limitation thereof, the mounting cavity is located on the lower side of the inner cavity, and the cooling end is installed into the mounting cavity from bottom to top. Water fills the entire mounting cavity under the action of gravity, and the cooling end can fully contact the water.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 5The water-cooled thermostat shown has an installation cavity 7 including a first installation cavity 71 connected to the first water inlet 51 and a second installation cavity 72 connected to the first water outlet 61. One end of the heat exchange pipe 23 is connected to the first installation cavity 71, and the other end of the heat exchange pipe 23 is connected to the second installation cavity 72. Furthermore, the first mounting cavity 71 houses the first cooling end 2111, and the second mounting cavity 72 houses the second cooling end 2112. Water enters the first mounting cavity from the inner cavity, then enters the second mounting cavity from the heat exchange pipe, and finally flows out from the second mounting cavity to the water outlet. When the first cooling end and the second cooling end are activated, the cooling plates of the first cooling end and the second cooling end can quickly cool the water in the first mounting cavity and the second mounting cavity respectively. The water first enters the inner cavity from the first water inlet and is buffered and undergoes a heat exchange. When the water enters the first mounting cavity from the second water inlet, it undergoes another heat exchange with the water in the inner cavity through the heat exchange pipe connected to the first mounting cavity, then enters the second mounting cavity from the heat exchange pipe for heat exchange, and finally flows out from the second mounting cavity to the first water outlet.

[0042] Optionally, when the cooling unit is not activated, ice cubes or ice packs can be added to the inner cavity. The water first undergoes a heat exchange in the inner cavity. After the water enters the first installation cavity from the inner cavity, it undergoes another heat exchange with the water in the inner cavity through the heat exchange pipe connected to the first installation cavity. Then, it enters the second installation cavity through the heat exchange pipe and finally flows out of the second installation cavity to the water outlet.

[0043] Optionally, the heat exchange pipe 23 is arranged in an arc shape, with one end of the heat exchange pipe located in the first mounting cavity and away from the second water inlet, and the other end of the heat exchange pipe located in the second mounting cavity and away from the first water outlet. The water entering the first mounting cavity fully contacts the cooling plate, and then moves from the heat exchange pipe to the second mounting cavity to fully contact the cooling plate.

[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 The water-cooled thermostat shown has multiple spaced-apart cooling plates 211 extending towards the mounting cavity 7, and multiple spaced-apart guide plates 73 extending towards the cooling plates 211. Further, as a preferred embodiment of the invention and not a limitation thereof, the multiple spaced-apart cooling plates increase the contact area with the water in the mounting cavity, accelerating water cooling, while the multiple guide plates slow down the water flow rate, allowing for more sufficient contact time between the water and the cooling plates, resulting in better cooling and effectively improving the sustainability of water cooling.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4The water-cooled thermostat shown has a guide plate 73 and a cooling element 211 arranged opposite each other. The guide plate 73 extends into the gap between adjacent cooling elements 211, and the cooling element 211 extends into the gap between adjacent guide plates 73. Further, as a preferred embodiment of the invention and not a limitation, the arrangement of the guide plate and cooling element forms an M-shaped water channel, which not only increases the travel distance of the water channel but also slows down the water movement. Furthermore, the cooling element is made of metal, which allows for better energy transfer from the cooling end to the water. The cooling element extends into the mounting cavity and acts as a guide and decelerator, ensuring full contact and heat exchange between the water and each cooling element.

[0046] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention and not a limitation thereof, the guide plate and the water tank are designed as a single unit, which can reduce the difficulty of assembly. The guide plate and the cooling plate are arranged relative to each other and spaced apart to form an M-shaped water channel, which makes the assembly of the water tank and the cooling end more compact and ensures that the water flow can fully contact the cooling plate.

[0047] like Figure 5 and Figure 9 The water-cooled thermostat shown is further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention and not a limitation thereof, wherein the cooling plate 211 includes a cooling plate base 21111 connected to the cooling end 21, a long cooling plate 21112 connected to the cooling plate base 21111 and extending toward the mounting cavity 7, and a short cooling plate 21113. The extension length of the long cooling plate 21112 is greater than the extension length of the short cooling plate 21113. Multiple long cooling plates 21112 and short cooling plates 21113 are provided and spaced apart. The short cooling plates 21113 are arranged opposite to the guide plate 73, and there is a certain gap between the short cooling plates 21113 and the guide plate 73 for water to flow through.

[0048] Optionally, after flowing through the gap between the short cooling plate 21113 and the guide plate 73, the water comes into full contact with the long cooling plate 21112. This not only reduces the water flow speed but also allows the water to fully contact and exchange heat with the long cooling plate 21112. The short cooling plate further narrows the water path, and its extension towards the mounting cavity further cools the water.

[0049] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first water inlet is located on the side of the inner cavity, and the second water inlet is located at the bottom of the inner cavity. After water enters the inner cavity from the first water inlet, it needs to travel a certain distance to reach the second water inlet. By increasing the distance between the first and second water inlets, the water entering the inner cavity can come into contact with the external cold source. The guide plate and cooling plate extend the water path, allowing the water in the inner cavity to fully contact the external cold source.

[0050] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 The water-cooled thermostat shown has a sealing ring 9 between the cooling element 211 and the mounting cavity 7. The mounting cavity 7 has a stepped portion 74 that mates with the sealing ring 9. The sealing ring prevents water from flowing out of the mounting cavity, ensuring the normal heat exchange of the water-cooled thermostat and preventing water loss.

[0051] Optionally, both the first mounting cavity and the second mounting cavity are equipped with sealing rings to ensure that water will not leak when passing through the first mounting cavity and the second mounting cavity.

[0052] Furthermore, in order to improve the constant temperature effect of the water tank, an insulation layer 16 is provided on the outside of the water tank. Furthermore, the insulation layer can be made of materials such as foam.

[0053] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The water-cooled thermostat shown has a first mounting cavity 71 with a second water outlet 62 extending to the outside of the housing 1. Optionally, when the object to be cooled by the water-cooled thermostat is in a fixed position, one end of a water pipe can be connected to a faucet, and the other end of a water pipe can be connected to a first water inlet. Alternatively, one end of a condenser pipe can be connected to a second water outlet, with the condenser pipe in contact with the object to be cooled. The other end of the condenser pipe is connected to a drain. When the faucet is turned on, flowing water enters the inner cavity from the first water inlet, then enters the first mounting cavity from the second water inlet, and then reaches the second water outlet from the first mounting cavity. The object in contact with the condenser pipe is cooled by the natural flow of water, and finally, the water is discharged from the other end of the condenser pipe into the drain.

[0054] like Figure 1 The water-cooled thermostat shown has a water tank 1 with a first water inlet assembly 31 connected to the first water inlet end 51 and a first water outlet assembly 32 connected to the first water outlet end 61 on the outside. A water pump 4 is connected to the first water outlet assembly 32.

[0055] Furthermore, the power supply 17 is fixed on the mounting plate 10.

[0056] Furthermore, when one end of the condenser tube is connected to the first water inlet assembly and the other end of the condenser tube is connected to the first water outlet assembly, in order to accelerate the flow rate of water in the condenser tube, a water pump can be installed on the first water outlet assembly. When the water pump is started, it can accelerate the flow of water from the first water inlet end into the inner cavity and into the first installation cavity. After the water passes through the heat exchange pipe, the water enters the first water outlet end from the second installation cavity. The water pump will then quickly flow the water back to the first water inlet end.

[0057] like Figure 1The water-cooled thermostat shown has a water tank 1 equipped with a fixing plate 10 for fixing the first water inlet assembly 31, the first water outlet assembly 32 and the water pump 4.

[0058] The first water inlet assembly 31 includes a first condenser inlet pipe 11 and a first female connector 312 connected to the fixed plate 10. The first female connector 312 is used to connect the first condenser inlet pipe 11 and the condenser pipe. The first water outlet assembly 32 includes a first condenser outlet pipe 21 and a second female connector 322 connected to the fixed plate 10. The second female connector 322 is used to connect the first condenser outlet pipe 21 and the condenser pipe. Further, the first condenser outlet pipe 21 is sequentially connected to a first water outlet end 61, a water pump 4 and the second female connector 322. Optionally, the fixed plate 10 is provided with a connector housing 101 for fixing the first female connector 312 and the second female connector 322.

[0059] Furthermore, a water-cooled thermostat is equipped with a power supply 17 fixed on a mounting plate 10.

[0060] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The water-cooled thermostat shown includes a water tank 1 with a water tank cover 11. The water tank cover 11 has a handle 12, a silicone plug 13, and a locking part 14. The water tank 1 has a connecting fitting part 15 that mates with the locking part 14. This design prevents water from leaking out of the inner cavity when the water-cooled thermostat shakes. The silicone plug is easy to install and remove, allowing for easy observation of the inner cavity or adding a cold source from above. The locking part and the connecting fitting part ensure a tight connection between the water tank and the water tank cover.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 The water-cooled thermostat shown includes a water tank 1 with a removable water tank cover 11, which is used to seal the upper opening of the inner cavity 8. Further, when the cooling unit is not activated, the water tank cover can be opened, ice cubes or ice packs can be added to the inner cavity, and then the water tank cover can be closed. When water enters the inner cavity from the first inlet, after the first heat exchange, the water enters the mounting cavity from the second inlet. Through a heat exchange pipe connected to the mounting cavity, the water undergoes another heat exchange with the cold water in the inner cavity, and finally, the water is output from the first outlet.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the implementation method of Example 1 is as follows:

[0063] A water-cooled thermostat includes a water tank 1, a heat exchange assembly 2 including a first cooling end 2111 extending into a first mounting cavity 71, a second cooling end 2112 extending into a second mounting cavity 72, two radiators 22 connected to the first cooling end 2111 and the second cooling end 2112 respectively, and a heat exchange pipe 23 extending into the inner cavity 8 and communicating with the first mounting cavity 71 and the second mounting cavity 72.

[0064] Both the first cooling end 2111 and the second cooling end 2112 are equipped with cooling chips 211, and both radiators 22 are connected to cooling fans 221. The cooling chips 211 are semiconductor cooling chips. The cooling chip 211 cools the side facing the mounting cavity 7, while the heat generated on the other side of the cooling chip 211 is transferred to the radiator 22 through the heat dissipation end. The radiator 22 blows the heat out through the cooling fan 221 to quickly cool the heat dissipation end and prevent heat accumulation. The radiator 22 is located between the water tank 1 and the cooling fan 221, and the hot air blown out by the cooling fan 221 moves away from the water tank 1.

[0065] One cooling element 211 extends towards the first mounting cavity 71, and another cooling element 211 extends towards the second mounting cavity 72. Multiple cooling elements 211 are provided and spaced apart. Both the first and second mounting cavities 71 and 72 are provided with multiple guide plates 73 extending towards the cooling elements 211, also spaced apart. The guide plates 73 are positioned opposite to the cooling elements 211, extending into the gaps between adjacent cooling elements 211, and vice versa. This arrangement of the guide plates 73 and cooling elements 211 slows down water movement, while the cooling elements 211 simultaneously guide and decelerate the flow, ensuring sufficient contact and heat exchange between the water and each cooling element 211.

[0066] The cooling element 211 includes a cooling element base 21111 connected to the cooling end 21, a long cooling element 21112 connected to the cooling element base 21111 and extending toward the mounting cavity 7, and a short cooling element 21113. The extension length of the long cooling element 21112 is greater than the extension length of the short cooling element 21113. Multiple long cooling elements 21112 and short cooling elements 21113 are provided and spaced apart. The short cooling elements 21113 are arranged opposite to the guide plate 73. There is a certain gap between the short cooling elements 21113 and the guide plate 73 for water to flow through. After the water flows through the gap between the short cooling elements 21113 and the guide plate 73, it comes into full contact with the long cooling elements 21112, which not only reduces the speed of water flow, but also allows the water to come into full contact with the long cooling elements 21112 and exchange heat.

[0067] A sealing ring 9 is provided between the cooling element 211 and the mounting cavity 7, and the mounting cavity 7 has a stepped portion 74 that mates with the sealing ring 9. The sealing ring 9 prevents water from flowing out of the mounting cavity 7, ensuring the normal heat exchange of the water-cooled thermostat and preventing water loss.

[0068] The water tank 1 is provided with a fixing plate 10 for fixing the first water inlet assembly 31, the first water outlet assembly 32 and the water pump 4.

[0069] A water tank cover 11 is provided on the upper side of the water tank 1. The water tank cover 11 has a locking part 14. The water tank 1 has a connecting part 15 that cooperates with the locking part 14. A water pump 4 is connected to the first water outlet assembly 32. The outside of the water tank 1 is wrapped with a layer of foam insulation 16.

[0070] Operation of a water-cooled thermostat: Sufficient water is added to the inner cavity 8, and the water tank cover 11 is closed. One end of the condenser tube is connected to the first water inlet assembly 31, and the other end is connected to the first water outlet assembly 32. The water pump 4 connected to the first water outlet assembly 32 is started, and the water begins to circulate. The cooling end 21 is started, and the first cooling end 2111 and the second cooling end 2112 begin operation. The water flowing through the object to be cooled first enters the first water inlet 51 from the first water inlet assembly 31. The heated water first undergoes a first heat exchange with the water in the inner cavity 8. The water then flows out through the second water inlet 52... The water in the inner cavity 8 enters the first mounting cavity 71. The first cooling end 2111 performs a heat exchange with the water in the first mounting cavity 71. The water then enters the second mounting cavity 72 through the heat exchange pipe 23. When the water passes through the heat exchange pipe 23, the water in the inner cavity 8 will perform a heat exchange with the water in the heat exchange pipe 23. The second cooling end 2112 performs a heat exchange with the water in the second mounting cavity 72. Finally, the water flows out from the second mounting cavity 72 to the first water outlet 61 and flows through the first water outlet assembly 32 into the condenser tube. The condenser tube contacts the object to be cooled and continuously performs heat exchange.

[0071] The implementation method of Example 2 is as follows:

[0072] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that it does not require starting the cooling end 21 and the cooling fan 221. The operation of the water-cooled thermostat is as follows: one end of the condenser tube is connected to the first water inlet assembly 31, and the other end is connected to the first water outlet assembly 32. After adding sufficient water to the inner cavity 8, an ice pack is placed inside, the water tank cover 11 is closed, and the water pump 4 connected to the first water outlet assembly 32 is started. The water begins to circulate. The water in the inner cavity 8 first exchanges heat with the ice pack, and the water flowing through the object to be cooled enters the first water inlet assembly 31. At end 51, the heated water first undergoes a heat exchange with the water in the inner cavity 8. The water enters the first mounting cavity 71 from the inner cavity 8 through the second inlet end 52, and then enters the second mounting cavity 72 through the heat exchange pipe 23. When the water passes through the heat exchange pipe 23, the water in the inner cavity 8 will undergo a heat exchange with the water in the heat exchange pipe 23. Finally, the water flows out from the second mounting cavity 72 to the first outlet end 61, and flows into the condenser tube through the first outlet assembly 32. The condenser tube contacts the object to be cooled and continues to exchange heat.

[0073] The implementation method of Example 3 is as follows:

[0074] The difference between Example 3 and Example 1 is that it is not necessary to start the water pump 4, cooling end 21, radiator 22, and cooling fan 221. When the position of the object to be cooled by the water-cooled thermostat is fixed, one end of the first water pipe can be connected to the faucet, the other end of the first water pipe can be connected to the first water inlet 51, one end of the condenser pipe can be connected to the second water outlet 62, the condenser pipe is in contact with the object to be cooled, and the other end of the condenser pipe is connected to the drain. After the faucet is turned on, the flowing water enters the inner cavity 8 from the first water inlet 51, then enters the first mounting cavity 71 from the second water inlet 52, and then reaches the second water outlet 62 from the first mounting cavity 71. The object in contact with the condenser pipe is cooled by natural water flow. Finally, the water is discharged from the other end of the condenser pipe to the drain.

[0075] The above examples are merely illustrative of the technical content of the present invention to facilitate easier understanding by the reader, but do not imply that the implementation of the present invention is limited to these examples. Any technical extensions or re-creations made based on the present invention are protected by the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims.
