In the embodiment, the thermostat 5 is a commercially available product, and a valve is installed in the cavity of the thermostat 5. When the temperature rises, the paraffin filled in the thermostat 5 expands under the heat to open the valve, at this time, the inner cavity of the thermostat 5 is communicated with the outlet pipe 6, at this time, another valve on the thermostat 5 closes the side passage 15, avoiding the liquid in the inner cavity of the thermostat 5 entering the impeller cavity 13 through the side passage 15. Further, a water inlet is provided on the thermostat 5, which is communicated with the water outlet on the cylinder head 1, that is, the liquid from the cylinder head 1 enters the cavity of the thermostat 5, and then the thermostat 5 guides the water flow to enter the water pump circulation heating or the radiator 4 to be cooled, and then enters the heat source of the engine to take away the heat.
