[0021] The utility model provides a probe station auxiliary cooling device, see Figure 1-Figure 3 , including a workbench 100, a first support seat 200 and a second support seat 300 are arranged at intervals on the upper side of the workbench 100, an auxiliary cooling pipe 400 is horizontally fixed on the upper side of the first support seat 200 and the second support seat 300, and one end of the auxiliary cooling pipe 400 is connected to an air inlet connector 500, and the air inlet connector 500 is used to connect an external air supply device. Gas is provided to the auxiliary cooling pipe 400 through the air supply device. A cooling structure 600 for cooling the air in the auxiliary cooling pipe 400 is arranged at the other end of the auxiliary cooling pipe 400; an air outlet 410 is opened on the side of the auxiliary cooling pipe 400 close to the workbench 100. When in use, the air in the auxiliary cooling pipe 400 is cooled by the cooling structure 600 to keep it at a low temperature. The cooled gas is discharged from the air outlet 410 to cool the equipment to be cooled.
[0022] Specifically, the cooling structure 600 includes a water inlet pipe 610 and a water outlet pipe 620. An air supply hole 420 is formed in the middle of the auxiliary cooling pipe 400.
