Specifically, if the oil liquid in the oil storage shell 20 is relatively more and the temperature is relatively high, the number of liquid cooling plates 13 can be increased. If the oil liquid in the oil storage shell 20 is relatively less and the temperature is relatively low, the number of liquid cooling plates 13 can be reduced.

In addition, the at least two liquid cooling plates 13 can be stacked and connected by bonding or welding, so as to avoid shaking of the at least two liquid cooling plates 13 in the oil storage shell 20.

[0058] In order to facilitate stacking of the at least two liquid cooling plates 13, the first direction is the height direction of the oil storage shell 20, the at least two liquid cooling plates 13 are arranged in parallel relative to the inner bottom of the oil storage shell 20, and the at least two liquid cooling plates 13 are stacked in sequence along the height direction of the oil storage shell 20, and the gap between adjacent two liquid cooling plates 13 forms an oil passing channel.

The at least two liquid cooling plates 13 are arranged in a stacked manner from bottom to top in the oil storage shell 20, facilitating the flow of the cooling medium upward one by one, so as to effectively utilize the heat exchange between the cooling medium and the oil in the oil storage shell 20.

[0060] Since the existing oil cooler 10 needs to be designed with a special tool for welding during manufacturing, if the height of the oil cooler 10 needs to be adjusted, the tool needs to be re-manufactured, resulting in high manufacturing cost and long manufacturing period.

[0061] The at least two liquid cooling plates 13 are stacked, the gap between adjacent two liquid cooling plates 13 forms an oil passing channel, which can not only increase the heat exchange area and improve the heat exchange effect, but also can flexibly adjust the number of liquid cooling plates according to different heat requirements, reduce the manufacturing cost, and ensure excellent cooling effect in various working environments.
