[0030] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0031] 1. The present invention not only increases the contact area with the air but also minimizes the resistance to air flow through the carefully designed wavy fin body, thereby significantly improving the heat exchange efficiency. A 1.2 mm thick titanium alloy plate is selected and anodized to form a uniform and dense protective film, which greatly improves the corrosion resistance of the fin and ensures its stability in long-term use. The surface roughness is reduced by high-speed polishing of the fin surface, further reducing the air resistance and improving the aerodynamic performance. High-precision laser cutting and roll forming technology are used to ensure the precise shape and size of the fin. The straightening machine is used to correct the overall flatness error within the qualified range. The application of vacuum welding technology avoids oxidation and improves the quality and strength of the welded joint.

[0032] 2. The present invention applies thrust to the rotating plate through a limiting structure and a locking structure, and the rotating plate will rotate on the surface of the fixed column. When the rotating plate rotates, it will drive the coil spring to deform through the fixed disk, and then the grid concave plate will fit with the fin outer body through horizontal movement, and the grid concave plate will slide in the T-slot through the internal T-block. When the mounting plate is completely fitted with the groove, the rotating plate is released, and the rotating plate will be reset by the action of the coil spring. The reset rotating plate will overlap with the bolt through the slot, and then the bolt and the nut will be threaded and the rotating plate will be locked, so that the grid concave plate can be assembled with the surface of the fin outer body, and the wavy fin body can be in a clean state. The clean wavy fin body can reduce thermal resistance, improve heat exchange efficiency, thereby improving the performance of the entire system, reducing corrosion and wear of the wavy fin body, and extending the service life of the overall equipment.
