[0009] Furthermore, threaded fins are arranged at intervals on the outer wall of the inner tube and the inner wall of the outer tube, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0010] Furthermore, the threaded fins are spot-welded to the inner tube and the outer tube, which ensures reliable fixation and improves the installation strength of the threaded fins.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of the outer tube is coated with a high temperature resistant layer, which can be formed by coating with phosphate lead powder paint, thereby improving the heat resistance of the outer tube, thereby adapting to the high temperature conditions in the vehicle and extending the service life.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall of the inner tube is coated with a galvanized layer, which improves the corrosion resistance of the inner tube, making it less prone to corrosion and rust, and has a long service life.

[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects due to the adoption of the above technical solution:

[0014] 1. When the refrigerant flows from the first straight pipe section to the second straight pipe section, the flow rate becomes faster, which improves the heat exchange efficiency and can prevent the low-flow refrigerant in the first straight pipe section from vortexing and mixing, thereby affecting the smooth flow in the pipe.

[0015] 2. The support member supports the second straight pipe section and resists its deformation, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the second straight pipe section; the diversion channel diverts the refrigerant, which is conducive to the smooth passage of the refrigerant through the second straight pipe section.

[0016] 3. The setting of spiral reinforcement ribs improves the surface structural strength of the outer tube, making it resistant to pressure and collision, not easy to deform, and has a long service life.

[0017] 4. The setting of the teeth increases the heat conduction area of ​​the first straight pipe section, thereby improving the heat exchange effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] The inner tube 2 includes a first straight tube section 5, a diameter reducing section 6 and a second straight tube section 7. The diameter reducing section 6 connects the first straight tube section 5 and the second straight tube section 7. The cross-sectional diameter of the second straight tube section 7 is smaller than the cross-sectional diameter of the first straight tube section 5. In the process of the refrigerant flowing from the first straight tube section 5 to the second straight tube section 7, the flow velocity becomes faster, the heat exchange efficiency is improved, and the low flow velocity refrigerant in the first straight tube section 5 can be prevented from vortexing and mixing to affect the smoothness of the tube.

[0030] A support member 8 is provided inside the second straight pipe section 7 to support the second straight pipe section 7 and resist deformation thereof, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the second straight pipe section 7 .

[0031] A diversion channel 9 is formed between the support member 8 and the second straight pipe section 7 to divert the refrigerant, thereby facilitating the refrigerant to smoothly pass through the second straight pipe section 7 .

[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, this is the second embodiment of the utility model

[0033] In the technical solution based on the first embodiment, a spiral reinforcing rib 10 is fixedly wound around the outer tube 1, which improves the surface structural strength of the outer tube 1, makes it resistant to pressure and collision, is not easily deformed, and has a long service life.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, this is the third embodiment of the present utility model

[0035] In the technical solution based on the first embodiment, teeth 11 are distributed around the inner wall of the first straight pipe section 5, which increases the heat conduction area and thus improves the heat exchange effect. The teeth 11 are in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid and have a stable structure.

[0036] The above are only specific embodiments of the utility model, but the technical features of the utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent replacements or modifications made based on the utility model to solve basically the same technical problems and achieve basically the same technical effects are all included in the protection scope of the utility model.
