[0038] Please refer again Figure 1-3A liquid storage tank 210 is screwed between the inner walls of the left and right mounting frames 200. The liquid storage tank 210 is used to store coolant. An oil tank cooling mechanism is provided inside the liquid storage tank 210. The oil tank cooling mechanism includes a power supply 220, and the power supply 220 is used to drive a condenser 221. The condenser 221 and the condenser 221 are used to cool the coolant. The reflux pump 230 and the reflux pump 230 are used to reflux the coolant. The reflux pipe 231 and the reflux pipe 231 are used to transport the coolant. The cooling plates 240 and the cooling plates 240 are used to contact with the oil.

The reflux pump 230 is fixedly connected to the top of the liquid storage tank 210, and the reflux pump 230 is arranged in sequence from left to right. The front and rear sides of the bottom of the reflux pump 230 are fixedly connected to the reflux pipe 231. The bottom end of the reflux pipe 231 passes through the liquid storage tank 210 and extends to the inner cavity of the liquid storage tank 210.

The outer wall of the heat exchange pipe 250 is in contact with the inner wall of the cooling plate 240. When the oil needs to be cooled, the condenser 221 is powered by the power supply 220, so that the condenser 221 cools the coolant in the liquid storage tank 210, and then the reflux pump 230 is started to pump the low-temperature coolant into the reflux pump 230 through the reflux pipe 231 on one side, and then the reflux pump 230 passes through One end of the heat exchange tube 250 transports the low-temperature coolant into the interior thereof, while the reflux pump 230 transports the normal-temperature coolant in the heat exchange tube 250 back to the liquid storage tank 210 through the other end of the heat exchange tube 250.

When it is necessary to cool the oil, the power supply 220 is used to power the condensing pipe 221, so that the condensing pipe 221 cools the coolant in the liquid storage tank 210, and then the circuit is started. The flow pump 230 draws the low-temperature coolant into the reflux pump 230 through the reflux pipe 231 on one side, and then the reflux pump 230 transports the low-temperature coolant to the inside of the heat exchange pipe 250 through one end thereof.

This cycle reduces the temperature of the heat exchange pipe 250 and the temperature of the cooling plate 240 in contact with the heat exchange pipe 250. Then, the heat conducting sheet 241 arranged on the cooling plate 240 quickly transfers the temperature of the oil to the cooling plate 240 so that the cooling plate 240 cools the oil, thereby cooling the oil in the box 100 under high temperature conditions to prevent the high-temperature oil from causing the box 100 to expand.
