[0002] Plate heat exchanger is a kind of high-efficiency heat exchanger made of a series of metal sheets with certain corrugated shapes. Thin rectangular channels are formed between various plates, and heat is exchanged through the plates. Plate heat exchanger is an ideal equipment for liquid-liquid and liquid-steam heat exchange. It has the characteristics of high heat exchange efficiency, small heat loss, compact and light structure, small footprint, wide application and long service life.

[0003] With the progress of society, the application of plate heat exchangers is becoming more and more common. There are many structures on the plate heat exchanger, including the plates of the plate heat exchanger.

[0004] The plate heat exchanger is composed of many structures, including the plate body, sealing ring and fin structure. With the progress of society, people's requirements for plate heat exchangers are constantly increasing, resulting in the existing plate heat exchanger fin structure can not meet people's use requirements;

[0005] After research, it was found that the existing fin structure of plate heat exchangers has certain drawbacks when used;

[0006] First, the fin structure of the existing plate heat exchanger is usually installed by welding, and the fin position of the plate heat exchanger is in contact with liquids of different temperatures for a long time, which is prone to deformation. At this time, the entire plate body needs to be replaced, and at this time the plate body is still a long way from the limit of its service life, which is a waste;

[0007] Secondly, the fin structure of the existing plate heat exchanger usually adopts a straight channel or an inclined channel to guide and slow down the flow speed of the liquid, which increases the movement path of the liquid. However, due to the limited space of the plate heat exchanger, simply extending the path has a poor slowing effect. The liquid stays in the heat exchanger for a short time, and the heat exchange effect is poor, which does not meet people's usage requirements. Summary of the invention

The plate 1 can be fully utilized with good use effect, and the plate body 5 with different fin strips 7 can be installed according to use requirements, which is more flexible to use and has a good use effect.

[0052] The lower end surface of the plate body 5 and the upper end surface of the mounting ring 3 are both provided with two groups of annular mounting rings, and the annular mounting rings on the lower end surface of the plate body 5 fit the annular mounting rings on the upper end surface of the mounting ring 3 .

[0053] The annular mounting rings fit together and deform when fitting together, and the sealing effect is better.

[0054] An annular convex strip 8 is provided on the annular mounting ring on the lower end surface of the plate body 5 , and an annular groove 9 is provided on the annular mounting ring on the upper end surface of the mounting ring 3 . The annular convex strip 8 is engaged with the annular groove 9 .

[0055] The annular convex strip 8 is snap-fitted with the annular groove 9. After the snap-fitting, the overall contact area is wider and the use effect is good.
