[0042] In combination with the above, one or at least two mounting seats can be provided on the flow channel plate 11, and the mounting seats can be used to install the water pump 12, or to install the water valve 13, wherein one mounting seat can be provided on the flow channel plate 11, and the mounting seat can be used to install and position the water pump 12, or to install and position the water valve 13, or to install and position the water pump 12 and the water valve 13 at the same time, etc.; multiple mounting seats can also be provided on the flow channel plate 11, and the multiple mounting seats can be used to install multiple water pumps 12, or to install multiple water valves 13, or to install the water pump 12 and the water valve 13 respectively, etc. The number and shape of the mounting seats, water pumps 12, water valves 13 and other components or structures can be adjusted according to the actual flow path conditions, and a detailed description is given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the aforementioned at least one mounting seat includes a water pump seat 1121a, which can be used to install and position the water pump 12. The water pump seat 1121a has a receiving cavity 1121b, one side of the receiving cavity 1121b is open, and the other side is provided with a through hole 1121c, the through hole 1121c can be communicated with the water channel 101 in the flow channel plate 11, and at least a part of the water pump 12 is sleeved in the receiving cavity 1121b.

In addition, the inner side of the water pump seat 1121a is constructed with a receiving chamber 1121b for accommodating at least a part of the water pump 12. The through hole 1121c is provided on the main body 111 and is located on the inner side of the water pump seat 1121a. When the water pump 12 is installed on the water pump seat 1121a, the water pump 12 can be connected to the through hole 1121c. The cylindrical structure can facilitate the molding of the water pump seat 1121a, and facilitate the assembly of the water pump 12 and the water pump seat 1121a, and facilitate the stable installation of the water pump 12 on the flow channel plate 11. In addition, the condition of the water pump seat 1121a can be adjusted according to actual conditions. For example, the shape of the water pump seat 1121a can be set to be consistent with the shape of the water pump 12, so that the water pump 12 can be quickly and stably inserted into the water pump seat 1121a.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3, the inner side of the open end of the water pump seat 1121a is configured to be an outwardly expanded step shape. Specifically, the water pump seat 1121a includes a first part and a second part, and the first part and the second part are connected along the axial direction of the water pump seat 1121a, wherein the first part is connected to the main body 111, and the second part is connected to the first part, and the through hole 1121c is provided on the inner side of the first part, and the side of the second part away from the first part is configured to have an open mouth, wherein the inner diameter of the second part is greater than the inner diameter of the first part, so that a step shape is configured at the connection between the second part and the first part. During the installation process of the water pump 12, the water pump 12 can be positioned by the step structure.

[0046] At the same time, when the flow channel plate 11 is injection molded, the thinning of the open end of the water pump seat 1121a can facilitate demoulding, thereby facilitating the molding of the flow channel plate 11, and at the same time can reduce problems caused by stress concentration, improve the stability of the mounting seat, and improve the efficiency of injection molding and structural stability.

[0047] The water pump 12 of the present invention can be fixedly connected to the water pump seat 1121a by threaded fitting, snap connection or clamp positioning, or the water pump 12 can be installed on the water pump seat 1121a by screw connection.

[0050] Among them, the reinforcing rib 113 can be arranged to extend along the circumference of the water pump seat 1121a, and in the orthographic projection along the axial direction of the water pump seat 1121a, the reinforcing rib 113 extends from the inner side of the water pump seat 1121a to the outer side of the water pump seat 1121a. In addition, the reinforcing rib 113 in the present invention can be arranged on the outer side surface of the bottom wall of the water pump seat 1121a and extend along the circumference of the water pump seat 1121a.

In addition, the reinforcing rib 113 can also include a second rib 113b, which extends along the circumference of the water pump seat 1121a and is connected to the plurality of first ribs 113a. The structural strength between the plurality of first reinforcing ribs 113 and between the first reinforcing ribs 113 and the main body 111 can be improved, thereby improving the stability and structural strength of the water pump seat 1121a.

[0052] Optionally, the second ribs 113b extend along the circumference of the through hole 1121c and protrude in a direction away from the accommodating cavity 1121b, and one end of a plurality of first ribs 113a is connected to the second ribs 113b and extends radially of the through hole 1121c.

[0053] In addition, a third rib is provided between the water pump seat 1121a and the main body. The third rib includes multiple ribs arranged around the water pump seat. The multiple third ribs are arranged radially along the circumference of the water pump seat.

In other words, the first area surface 1122b protrudes from the second area surface 1122c, and during the installation process, the water valve 13 can be matched with the valve seat 1122a, wherein the first area surface 1122b is matched with the interface on the water valve 13, which can improve the sealing performance between the valve seat 1122a and the water valve 13, reduce the possibility of water leakage at the matching point between the water valve 13 and the valve seat 1122a, and improve the stability of the water valve 13.

[0057] In addition, the second area surface 1122c surrounds the first area surface 1122b, which can further improve the sealing performance of the fitting between the water valve 13 and the valve seat 1122a.

In addition, the second area surface 1122c is provided with mounting holes 1122e at positions on opposite sides of the first area surface 1122b. That is to say, mounting holes 1122e are provided on the opposite sides of the first area surface 1122b, and the water valve 13 is fastened to the opposite sides of the first area surface 1122b by fasteners, so that the fastening force between the water valve 13 and the valve seat 1122a can be uniform, and the fit between the water valve 13 and the valve seat 1122a can be stable, thereby preventing one side of the water valve 13 from tilting relative to the valve seat 1122a due to unilateral fastening, thereby affecting the sealing effect between the water valve 13 and the valve seat 1122a.
