[0004] The above scheme has some shortcomings during use. The air compressor is used to compress air for cooling to remove the heat from the surface of the optical module, so that the temperature of the optical module is reduced. However, in the process of compressing air, the air compressor will generate noise due to the up and down movement of the piston. In addition, due to the movement and collision of the internal parts of the compressor, vibration will also be generated. These noises and vibrations will cause the radiator surface of the optical module to vibrate and resonate, thereby affecting the heat dissipation effect. For this reason, we propose an optical module production cooling device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
