After the plate 101 is assembled with the flat tube 4, etc., it is brazed as a whole, and the corner hole areas of adjacent plates 101 are welded and connected.

[0037] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the plurality of plates 101 include plate 1, plate 2, and plate 3. Plate 1, plate 2, and plate 3 are stacked in sequence along the stacking direction of the plates 101, that is, plates 1, plate 2, and plate 3 are stacked from top to bottom, and plate 2 is located between plate 1 and plate 3. In this embodiment, the heat exchanger includes a heat exchange unit A, and the heat exchange unit A includes plates 1, plate 2, and plate 3. The heat exchange unit A is a local structure of the heat exchanger. In this embodiment, the structure of plate 1 and plate 3 is the same, so only two structures of plates 101 need to be manufactured, which is convenient for the molding of plate 101. The types of plates 101 are relatively few, and it is also convenient for the assembly of the heat exchanger. There is a first inter-plate channel S between plate 1 and plate 2, which can be used for the circulation of coolant. The flat tube 4 is located between plate 2 and plate 3, and the flat tube 4 includes a plurality of through holes 41, through holes 41 are used for the circulation of refrigerant, and through holes 41 are not connected to the first inter-plate channel S. The heat exchanger comprises a plurality of heat exchange units A without plates 1 .

[0038] Combination Figure 1-Figure 5In this embodiment, the flange 1011 and the body 1015 form a receiving chamber. In the present application, the plate 1 has a first receiving chamber 13, the plate 2 has a second receiving chamber 25, and the plate 3 has a third receiving chamber 36. In this embodiment, the flat tube 4 includes a flat tube 4, and the flat tube 4 is located in the third receiving chamber 36. In this embodiment, the flat tube 4 is located in the heat exchange area 1012. This arrangement is convenient for the assembly of the flat tube 4, and is also convenient for the subsequent introduction of the refrigerant into or out of the through hole 41 of the flat tube 4. The flat tube 4 includes a plurality of through holes 41, and the through holes 41 penetrate the flat tube 4 along the length direction of the flat tube 4. The through holes 41 form a refrigerant channel. The flat tube 4 has high structural strength and strong pressure bearing capacity. The flat tube 4 structure can improve the structural strength of the heat exchanger, especially when the refrigerant is carbon dioxide refrigerant, the working pressure of carbon dioxide is relatively large, and the flat tube 4 structure can withstand the working pressure of carbon dioxide. In other embodiments, part of the flat tube 4 can be located in the heat exchange area 1012, and part of the flat tube 4 can be located in the corner hole area.

[0039] In this embodiment, a plurality of through holes 41 are arranged in a row along the width direction of the heat exchanger, that is, a plurality of through holes 41 are roughly in the same straight line along the width direction of the heat exchanger, and such an arrangement is conducive to controlling the flow path of the refrigerant and improving the heat exchange performance. In other embodiments, a plurality of through holes 41 may also be arranged in a wave shape or randomly along the width direction of the heat exchanger, which may also realize the circulation of the refrigerant and achieve heat exchange. In this embodiment, the upper plate surface of the flat tube 4 is contacted and welded with the plate 2, and the lower plate surface of the flat tube 4 is contacted and welded with the plate 3, which may prevent the refrigerant from flowing into the gap between the plate surface of the flat tube 4 and the plate 101, affecting the distribution of the refrigerant and affecting the heat exchange efficiency; in addition, the refrigerant circulates in the through holes of the flat tube, and the working pressure of the refrigerant mainly acts on the flat tube 4, which may also improve the structural strength of the heat exchanger.

[0040] Reference Fig.10The flat tube 4 includes a first side wall 43 and a second side wall 44, which are respectively on both sides of the flat tube 4 along the width direction of the flat tube 4, and extend along the length direction of the flat tube 4. In this embodiment, the first side wall 43 is arranged in contact with the flange 1011, and the second side wall 44 is arranged in contact with the flange 1011, so that the refrigerant flows in the through hole 41 of the flat tube 4, and the working pressure of the refrigerant mainly acts on the flat tube 4, and the flat tube 4 has a strong pressure bearing capacity, which is conducive to improving the structural strength of the heat exchanger; in addition, the working pressure of the refrigerant acts less on the plate 101, which is conducive to avoiding deformation of the plate 101 or cracking of the weld between adjacent plates 101 when the working pressure of the refrigerant is too high. In other embodiments, the first side wall 43 and the flange 1011 may also be gap-fitted, and the second side wall 44 and the flange 1011 may also be gap-fitted. The gap between the first side wall 43 and the flange 1011 may provide a flow channel for the refrigerant, and the gap between the second side wall 44 and the flange 1011 may also provide a flow channel for the refrigerant. In this way, the refrigerant can be distributed and a flow path can be provided for the refrigerant.

[0041] In other embodiments, the flat tube 4 may also be provided with multiple rows of through holes 41, the through holes 41 are arranged in rows along the width direction of the heat exchanger, and the through holes 41 are arranged in columns along the height direction of the heat exchanger. The provision of multiple rows of through holes 41 can increase the flow path of the refrigerant and improve the heat exchange efficiency. In other embodiments, the through holes 41 may also be randomly arranged along the height direction and the width direction of the heat exchanger. In this embodiment, the through holes 41 are regular circular through holes, which facilitates the forming of the through holes 41. In other embodiments, the through holes 41 may also be wavy or other shaped through holes 41, that is, the inner peripheral wall of the through holes 41 is wavy or other shapes.

[0042] In another embodiment, the heat exchanger includes a plurality of flat tubes 4, which are stacked together along the stacking direction of the plates 101, and adjacent flat tubes 4 are welded and fixed. Each flat tube 4 includes a plurality of through holes 41. Such a configuration can also provide more flow paths for the refrigerant, thereby enhancing the heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger.

[0043] Reference Fig.11 In another embodiment, a plurality of flat tubes 4 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the plate 101, and the through holes 41 of the flat tubes 4 are arranged along the length direction of the plate 101. There is a gap between adjacent flat tubes 4 for the flow of refrigerant, so that the refrigerant can flow from the through hole 41 of one flat tube 4 through the gap to the through hole 41 of the next flat tube 4, which is conducive to increasing the flow path of the refrigerant, increasing the heat exchange area, and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger. In other embodiments, the plate 101 is arranged along the length direction, and a drainage structure, such as a protrusion, can also be set in the gap between adjacent flat tubes 4 to drain the refrigerant in the through hole 41 of one flat tube 4 to the through hole 41 of another flat tube 4, so as to facilitate the distribution of the refrigerant.

[0044] Reference Fig.12 In another embodiment, the heat exchanger includes a plurality of flat tubes 4, and the plurality of flat tubes 4 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the plate 101, and the gaps between adjacent flat tubes 4 can allow the refrigerant to flow, so that heat exchange between the refrigerant and the coolant can also be achieved.

[0045] In other embodiments, a plurality of flat tubes 4 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the plate 101, and there are gaps between the flat tubes 4 arranged along the length direction of the plate 101. At the same time, another plurality of flat tubes 4 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the plate 101, and there are gaps between the flat tubes arranged along the width direction of the plate 101. This can further increase the flow path of the refrigerant and improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.
