At the same time, the water in the overflow water kettle 9 enters the water cooler 5 through the water filling pipe 10, facilitating the rapid replenishment of the water consumed during the cooling process.
[0056] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the first water inlet 21 of the battery pack 2 is connected to the first water inlet pipe 7 through the first connecting pipe 11, and the first water outlet 22 of the battery pack is connected to the first water return pipe 8 through the second connecting pipe 13.
