[0012] In a further embodiment, an input pipe is fixedly installed on the rear side of the second water tank, and the axis of the input pipe is collinear with the axis of the second circular hole.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the collinearity between the axis of the input pipe and the axis of the first circular hole can ensure a sealed connection between the pipe and the water tank, reduce the risk of leakage, and ensure the stability and reliability of the entire fluid transport system.

[0014] In a further embodiment, a throttle valve is fixedly installed at the tail end of the input pipe, and the axis of the throttle valve is collinear with the axis of the tail end of the input pipe.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solutions, more precise flow control can be achieved, and the installation, maintenance and repair of pipeline systems can be facilitated. This reduces the difficulty and workload of operation, helps to reduce equipment downtime for maintenance, and improves overall work efficiency.

[0016] In a further embodiment, a third circular hole is provided on the right end face of the first water tank, and the axis of the third circular hole is arranged horizontally. A fourth circular hole is provided at the front end of the left end face of the third water tank, and the axis of the fourth circular hole is collinear with the axis of the third circular hole. A fifth circular hole is provided on the right end face of the second water tank, and the axis of the fifth circular hole is arranged horizontally. A sixth circular hole is provided at the rear end of the left end face of the third water tank, and the axis of the sixth circular hole is collinear with the axis of the fifth circular hole.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the circular holes opened on each water tank ensure that the water tanks can be interconnected, thereby forming a circulation of cooling medium between the water tanks.

[0018] In a further embodiment, a one-way valve is fixedly installed between the third and fourth circular holes, the axis of the one-way valve being collinear with the axis of the third circular hole; a one-way valve is fixedly installed between the fifth and sixth circular holes, the axis of the one-way valve being collinear with the fifth circular hole.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing between each water tank is ensured through the setting of one-way valves, thus avoiding problems such as liquid leakage.

[0020] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
