Abstract
A liquid cooling unit includes a pump body. A nipple is formed in the pump body. The nipple defines an outflow passage for coolant. An elastic tube has the tip end receiving insertion of the nipple so that the elastic tube is coupled to the nipple. A fixation member defines a groove supporting the nipple inside the elastic tube over a first predetermined length from the tip end of the nipple. The groove receives the elastic tube alone ahead of the tip end of the nipple over a second predetermined length from the tip end of the nipple.
