[0002] Traditional heat exchangers generally include fins arranged in parallel and pipes fixed to the fins. The pipe includes an inlet and an outlet. The medium flows into the pipe through the inlet and flows out from the outlet, thereby completing the heat exchange. Most existing heat exchangers usually use steel pipes for their pipes because they have good high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. Among them, stainless steel pipes, due to their strong hardness, can improve the impact and vibration resistance of the heat exchanger, and gradually replaced copper pipes as pipes for heat exchangers.

[0003] The heat exchange steel pipe as a whole is usually in a spiral structure. In order to fix the fins on the heat exchange steel pipe, the heat exchange steel pipe is usually composed of several parts, which are welded into a spiral structure after the fins are put on. The welding point is the weakest and most leak-prone place on the heat exchange steel pipe. In view of this, the present application improves the structure of the heat exchange steel pipe, improves the sealing effect of the welding point, and improves the yield. Utility Model Content
