DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present invention will be described below. In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. In this article, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one component with the same name from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these components.

[0020] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The flow channel plate includes a first sub-section 1 and a second sub-section 2, which are fixedly or limit-connected, and the flow channel plate has a first flow channel 10 and a second flow channel 20, the first flow channel 10 is located in the first sub-section 1, and the second flow channel 20 is located in the second sub-section 2, the first flow channel 10 is connected with the second flow channel 20, and a first direction S is defined, the first direction S is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first sub-section 1, along the first direction S, at least part of the second sub-section 2 is located on one side of the first sub-section 1, at least part of the second flow channel 20 is located on one side of the first sub-section 1, and the first sub-section 1 and the second sub-section 2 are intersected in space, the vertical intersection can be roughly T-shaped or L-shaped, and the non-vertical intersection can be V-shaped or "human" shaped, and multiple layers of flow channels can be arranged on the first sub-section 1 and the second sub-section 2. This arrangement shortens the size of the flow channel plate in the extension direction of the first sub-section or the second sub-section, reduces the area that the flow channel plate needs to be laid, and makes the flow channel plate and the flow channel more concentrated and occupies less space.

[0021] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first sub-section 1 includes a first plate body 11 and a first sub-plate 21, and the second sub-section 2 includes a second plate body 12 and a second sub-plate 22. It should be noted that the first plate body 11, the first sub-plate 21, the second plate body 12 and the second sub-plate 22 are not limited to plate-shaped components, and can be set to prismatic, semi-cylindrical and other shaped components as required. The first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12 are fixedly or position-limitedly connected. Preferably, the first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12 are fixedly connected by integral molding or hot plate welding.

The first sub-plate 21 and the first plate body 11 The connection surface a of the second sub-plate 22 and the second plate body 12 is sealed. Since the number of connection surfaces a on the first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12 is not limited to one, it can be seen that the first flow channel 10 and the second flow channel 20 are not limited to only one place, wherein the first flow channel 10 includes a flow channel formed at the connection surface a between the first sub-plate 21 and the first plate body 11 and a flow channel formed between the multiple first sub-plates 21 connected to the first plate body 11 and stacked.

[0022] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3The first flow channel 10 located on the first plate body 11 is connected to the second flow channel 20 located on the second plate body 12, and the connection method is as follows: the first plate body 11 includes a first supporting portion 11a and a first connecting portion 11b, the first connecting portion 11b extends toward the second plate body 12 relative to the first supporting portion 11a, the second plate body 12 includes a second supporting portion 12a and a second connecting portion 12b, the second connecting portion 12b is close to the first plate body 11 relative to the second supporting portion 12a, the first flow channel 10 includes a first flow channel section 10a and a first connecting section 10b, and the second flow channel 20 includes a first connecting portion 11b. The second flow channel section 20a and the second connecting section 20b, the first supporting portion 11a and the first sub-plate 21 are sealed and connected to form at least a part of the first flow channel section 10a, the second supporting portion 12a and the second sub-plate 22 are sealed and connected to form at least a part of the second flow channel section 20a, the first connecting section 10b and the second connecting section 20b are respectively located at the first connecting portion 11b and the second connecting portion 12b, the first connecting section 10b is connected to the first flow channel section 10a, the second connecting section 20b is connected to the second flow channel section 20a, and the first connecting section 10b is connected to the second connecting section 20b.

[0023] In order to adapt to product requirements and enhance the connection strength between the first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12, along the first direction S, the second support portion 12a is located on both sides of the second connecting portion 12b, that is, the end of the first plate body 11 is connected to the middle of the second plate body 12. In this embodiment, the arrangement of the flow channels in the first sub-section 1 and the second sub-section 2 can be selected, and the second connecting section 20b located at the second connecting portion 12b passes through the second plate body 12 and is connected to the first connecting section 10b.

[0024] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 In order to further enhance the connection strength between the first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12, in this embodiment, along the first direction S, the thickness of the first connection part 11b is greater than the first support part 11a, the first connection part 11b and the second connection part 12b are fixedly connected or are an integral structure, and the flow channel plate has a reinforcing rib 3, and the reinforcing rib 3 is fixedly connected to the first connection part 11b and the second connection part 12b.

In other embodiments, the flow channel plate can also include more sub-sections, such as adding a third sub-section, and a connecting surface is also provided on the third sub-section for sealing the third sub-plate and arranging the flow channel. At this time, the multiple sub-sections can present an I-shape, a Z-shape, a cross shape or a triangle shape in space.

The third sub-flow channel section 20a includes a third sub-flow channel section 201 and a fourth sub-flow channel section 202. The connecting surface of the third sub-flow channel section 201 and the second plate body 12 is fixedly and sealedly connected, forming a wall of the third sub-flow channel section 201 located between the third sub-flow channel section 201 and the second plate body 12.
