[0024] As a technical optimization scheme of the utility model, the two ends of the top plate 1 are respectively installed on the first head 4, and the bottom ends of the two first heads 4 are respectively installed on the two ends of the bottom plate 2. The outer walls of both sides of the first head 4 are installed with fixing plates 6, and the side surfaces of the fixing plates 6 are abutted against the partition 15 and the seal 16; when in use, the staff can fix the first head 4 through the fixing plates 6, and at the same time, the inside of the fin 17 can also be protected and sealed.

[0025] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, the two ends of the sealing plate 3 are respectively installed on the opposite surfaces of the two fixed plates 6 located on the same side, and a first connecting pipe 5 is installed on the outer wall of the first head 4 away from the top plate 1, and the first connecting pipe 5 is interconnected with the interior of the first head 4; when in use, the staff can connect one of the first connecting pipes 5 to the gas entering the inside of the fin 17 from the outside.

[0026] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, a second head 7 is installed at one end of the side of the two sealing plates 3, and a second connecting pipe 8 is installed on the outer wall of the second head 7 away from the sealing plate 3. One end of the second connecting pipe 8 is connected with the interior of the fin 17 through the second head 7; when in use, the two second connecting pipes 8 are connected with the interior of the fin 17, which is convenient for the staff to exchange heat with the external gas through the second connecting pipe 8.

[0027] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, a plurality of screw holes 14 are opened on the side of the fixing plate 6 away from the first head 4, the screw holes 14 pass through the fixing plate 6 and one end of the sealing plate 3, and the inner threads of the screw holes 14 are installed with fixing bolts 13; when in use, the staff can connect and fix the fixing plate 6 and the sealing plate 3 through the fixing bolts 13.

[0028] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, an L-shaped support 9 is installed on the side of the two sealing plates 3 away from the fins 17, and a plurality of reinforcement plates 10 are installed on the inner wall of the support 9 near the corners; when in use, the staff can install and fix the heat exchanger through the support 9.

[0029] When the utility model is in use, the staff can fix the position of the heat exchanger through the support 9, and install several fixing frames 11 on the top of the top plate 1, so that the two limiting plates 12 at the bottom of the two ends of the fixing frame 11 are respectively inserted into the limiting grooves 18 on the sides of the two sealing plates 3. When in use, the fixing frame 11 can limit and protect the positions of the two sealing plates 3 through the two limiting plates 12. At the same time, the limiting plates 12 can better fix the connection between the top plate 1, the bottom plate 2 and the sealing plate 3, making the connection between the top plate 1, the bottom plate 2 and the sealing plate 3 more stable. The staff connects one end of one of the first connecting pipes 5 away from the top plate 1 with the external gas to be exchanged with heat, so that the gas enters the interior of the first head 4 through the first connecting pipe 5, and the first head 4 is connected to the fins 17. When the gas enters the interior of the first head 4, it can be connected inside the fins 17. When in use, the fin 17 is wavy in shape, and seals 16 are installed at both ends of the fin 17. At the same time, flow grooves 19 are opened on the sides of the seals 16. Therefore, when the gas flows inside the fin 17, the surface grooves of the wavy fin 17 will cooperate with the flow grooves 19 on the sides of the seals 16 at both ends, so that the gas will flow in the surface grooves of the fin 17 and the flow grooves 19 during heat exchange.

[0030] When in use, the other first connecting tube 5 is interconnected with the external gas delivery tube, and the gas can exchange heat when it circulates inside the plurality of fins 17 until the gas is delivered to the outside delivery tube through the first connecting tube 5. When the staff exchanges heat with the gas through the two first connecting tubes 5, they can connect one of the second connecting tubes 8 with the external heat exchange gas, so that the remaining gas to be heat exchanged enters the fin 17 through the second connecting tube 8 to be heat exchanged inside, while the other second connecting tube 8 is interconnected with the external gas delivery tube. When in use, because there are a plurality of grooves on both sides of the fin 17, the two gases can be heat exchanged in the two adjacent grooves respectively.
