[0064] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, in another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an electrical transmission assembly is also disclosed. This electrical transmission assembly includes an electrical transmission element 2 and the aforementioned liquid cooling device 1. The electrical transmission element 2 is used to transmit electrical power, for example, to transmit a large current. The heat-conducting element 10 of the liquid cooling device 1 is in thermal contact with the electrical transmission element 2. The heat of the electrical transmission element 2 is transferred via the heat-conducting element 10 to the coolant within the liquid cooling pipe 14, thereby enabling rapid and effective cooling of the electrical transmission element 2.

The metal foil has excellent thermal conductivity and electromagnetic shielding properties. The insulating layer has excellent thermal conductivity and electromagnetic shielding properties. The braided tubing has a certain degree of elasticity and abrasion resistance, protecting the liquid-cooled metal busbar from external mechanical damage. The tape is easy to use and fix, providing temporary or permanent protection. The heat shrink tubing, when heated and shrunk, tightly adheres to the liquid-cooled metal busbar, providing good sealing and insulation properties.

[0074] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown in the illustrated embodiment, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0075] High-efficiency heat dissipation: Liquid cooling technology has higher heat dissipation efficiency than traditional air cooling, and can cope with higher power density and more complex heat dissipation requirements.
