In this way, it can avoid setting two through holes respectively matched with the liquid inlet structure and the liquid outlet structure on the body part, reducing the possibility of stress concentration of the body part. Moreover, the sealing part integrated with the liquid inlet structure 30 and the liquid outlet structure 40 is installed at the opening structure, and the assembly process is relatively simple. In addition, at least part of the sealing part is located in the opening structure, which can reduce the possibility of deformation at the opening structure and ensure the structural stability of the liquid cooling plate.

[0037] In the present scheme, the body part 10 comprises a first plate body 11 and a second plate body 12, and the second plate body 12 is arranged opposite to the first plate body 11. The heat exchange cavity 101 is formed between the second plate body 12 and the first plate body 11.
