The top of the heat-conducting plate 21 is in contact with the outer wall of the hydrogen fuel cell. Multiple heat dissipation grooves 7 are provided at intervals along the length of the heat-conducting plate 21 on the top surface of the heat-conducting plate 21, so that when the heat-conducting plate 21 is in contact with the hydrogen fuel cell, multiple air passages are formed between the heat-conducting plate 21 and the hydrogen fuel cell.

[0042] In this embodiment, by arranging the heat dissipation fins 13 in the weight reduction groove 6, the surface area of the outer wall of the shell 1 can be increased, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency with air and further enhancing the heat dissipation effect on the hydrogen fuel cell. By arranging the top and bottom of the fin 13 to have a gap between the top wall and the bottom wall of the weight reduction groove 6, a closed groove can be formed between the adjacent two fins 13, which can effectively ensure the flow of air between the plurality of fins 13, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation effect.
