Preferably, a first cooling cavity is provided in the fixed disk. A lower end of the driving assembly is connected to a bottom cover, and a second cooling cavity is provided in the bottom cover. The first cooling cavity and the second cooling cavity are in communication by means of a cooling channel and form a cooling circulation system. The cooling circulation system further comprises a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet.
