The temperature control mechanism 7 can cool the gearbox body 1 by refrigerating rainwater. The loss of rainwater is only evaporation, and the demand for rainwater is less. At the same time, there is a certain amount of water reserve. Therefore, it can ensure that the cooling work can be carried out stably and continuously, ensuring that the gearbox body 1 can operate normally.
[0027] Embodiment 2
[0028] Referring to Figures 1 - 4 , this is the second embodiment of the present utility model, and this embodiment is based on the previous embodiment.
