Several unit cooling components 1 are arranged in sequence, and adjacent unit cooling components 1 arranged in sequence are connected in sequence through bidirectional sealing joints 2.
[0031] Specifically, any unit cooling assembly 1 includes a cooling block 11 and a cooling pipe 12. The cooling pipe 12 can be of two or more different sizes. The cooling pipes can be of different lengths and sizes according to the thermal balance calculation requirements and space dimensions during gearbox design.
[0032] The upper end of the cooling block 11 is provided with through-holes I 13 and II 14, and the ends of the cooling tube 12 are connected to through-holes I 13 and II 14, respectively. Two surfaces of the cooling block 11 are provided with liquid inlet holes 15 and liquid outlet holes 16, respectively. Liquid inlet hole 15 is connected to through-hole I 13, and liquid outlet hole 16 is connected to through-hole II 14. Preferably, the cooling tube 12 is welded to the corresponding cooling block 11.
[0033] The cooling blocks 11 of adjacent unit cooling assemblies 1 are connected through a two-way sealing joint 2, one end of which is connected to the liquid outlet 16 of the previous cooling block 11, and the other end of which is connected to the liquid inlet 15 of the next cooling block 11.
[0034] To axially position the bidirectional sealing joint 2, counterbores 19 are provided on the outside of the liquid inlet hole 15 and the liquid outlet hole 16.
