The heat generated by the bulb body 13 during operation will be conducted to the water-cooling block 14. A second pressure pump 21 is provided at one end of the heat sink 7. A water outlet pipe 16 is provided between the heat sink 7 and the water tank 2. A buckle 18 is provided at one end of the water tank 2. One end of the water outlet pipe 16 passes through the second pressure pump 21 and is clamped in the water-cooling block 14, and the other end passes through the buckle 18 and is clamped in the water tank 2. The second pressure pump 21 draws water from the water-cooling block 14 to the water tank through the water outlet pipe 16 to complete the water circulation. The entire system uses the pressure pump and the pipeline network, and utilizes the high specific heat and good thermal conductivity of water to continuously take away the heat generated by the bulb body 13 during operation, thereby effectively reducing the equipment temperature and ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0024] A copper block 12 is arranged above the tube body 13, a cover plate 6 is arranged above the heat sink 7, a mounting groove is opened in the cover plate 6, the copper block 12 is clamped in the mounting groove, a plurality of groups of bolts are arranged above the cover plate 6, one end of the plurality of groups of bolts passes through the cover plate 6 and is clamped in the heat sink 7. Copper has good thermal conductivity, and the copper block 12 can effectively conduct and dissipate heat to prevent the equipment from overheating. A window 9 is opened at the other end of the heat sink 7, and the generated X-rays will be transmitted to a specific position through the window 9.

[0025] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, a filling port 17 is provided on the top of the water tank 2, a tank cover 1 is fixed on the top of the filling port 17, and an observation port 5 is provided on one side of the filling port 17.

The heat generated when the tube body 13 is working can be dissipated to the surface of the tube body 13 and the copper block 12 through the fan 10. At the same time, the first pressure pump 3 introduces the cooling water in the water tank 2 into the cooling block 14 through the water inlet pipe 4 to absorb the heat generated by the operation of the tube body 13. After absorbing the heat, the water in the cooling block 14 is pumped to the water tank 2 through the second pressure pump 21 to form a water cooling cycle, thereby realizing the combined heat dissipation of air cooling and water cooling and effectively reducing the working temperature of the tube body 13.
