The outer wall of the base tube 100 is provided with a plurality of outer grooves, the side walls of the outer grooves are fin structures 110, and the inner wall of the base tube 100 is provided with a plurality of inner grooves. The inner wall of the base tube 100 is provided with a plurality of longitudinal grooves, and the plurality of longitudinal grooves are parallel to the base tube 100. The plurality of longitudinal grooves divide the side walls of the plurality of inner grooves into a plurality of protrusion structures 120. The fin structure 110, all the protrusion structures 120 and the base tube 100 are an integrally formed structure.

[0029] The fin structure 110, all the protrusion structures 120 and the base tube 100 are an integrally formed structure, which reduces or avoids the contact thermal resistance between the fin structure 110, all the protrusion structures 120 and the base tube 100; the arrangement of the fin structure 110 and all the protrusion structures 120, compared with the base tube 100 with a smooth inner surface, the heat exchange area of ​​the fin heat exchange tube is larger, which is conducive to enhancing heat exchange; compared with the fin heat exchange tube with only an internal thread groove, the fin heat exchange tube of this embodiment not only has the axial turbulence of the internal thread groove, but also enhances the interference with the boundary layer in the circumferential direction, thereby improving and enhancing the heat transfer coefficient on the inner side of the base tube 100 and improving the heat transfer performance.

[0030] In some embodiments, all the protruding structures 120 are distributed in multiple rows, and the protruding structures 120 in each row are parallel to the axis of the base pipe 100 .

[0031] In some embodiments, the inner groove is a spiral groove or an annular groove. In this embodiment, the inner groove is an annular groove. There are multiple inner grooves, so that the inner grooves are densely distributed on the inner wall of the base pipe 100. The outer groove is a spiral groove. There are multiple outer grooves, and the intervals between all adjacent outer grooves are equal.

[0032] In some embodiments, the top surface of the protrusion structure 120 is rectangular.

[0033] In some embodiments, the cross section of the inner groove is trapezoidal. Of course, the cross section of the inner groove can also be V-shaped.

[0034] In some embodiments, the height of the protrusion structure 120 is 0.25 mm to 0.4 mm. The height of the protrusion structure 120 should not be too high, otherwise the wall thickness of the fin heat exchange tube will be too small.

[0035] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The utility model discloses a processing device for a fin heat exchange tube, which is used to process the above-mentioned fin heat exchange tube, including a core rod 200 and three rollers 400. The core rod 200 is used to be sleeved with a base tube 100. The outer wall of one end of the core rod 200 is provided with a plurality of straight blades 210. The plurality of straight blades 210 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of one end of the core rod 200. The straight blades 210 are parallel to the core rod 200. The straight blades 210 are used to process inner grooves for the base tube 100. A tool 300 is provided at the end head of one end of the core rod 200. The tool 300 is used to process longitudinal grooves for the base tube 100 to form a protruding structure 120. The three rollers 400 are all parallel to the core rod 200. The three rollers 400 are arranged around the core rod 200. The rollers 400 are used to drive the base tube 100 to move along the axial direction of the base tube 100 and process outer grooves for the base tube 100.

[0036] The processing method is as follows: a base pipe 100 is mounted on a rolling mill, and three rollers 400 are synchronously pressed against the outer surface of the base pipe 100. Under the action of the three rollers 400, the base pipe 100 simultaneously performs a spiral motion of circumferential rotation and axial movement. The straight blade 210 squeezes the inner surface of the base pipe 100, thereby forming an inner groove. A cutter 300 is mounted on a core rod 200. As the base pipe 100 moves axially, the sidewalls of the inner groove are plowed and cut by the cutter 300, forming a protrusion structure 120.

[0037] The finned heat exchange tube processing device is used to process the finned heat exchange tube at one time, which has high efficiency, low production cost and is easy to implement.

[0038] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the cutter 300 includes an annular cutter body 310 and two curved blades 320 disposed on the outer wall of the cutter body 310. The cutting edges of the curved blades 320 gradually increase in thickness along the circumference of the curved blades 320. A notch 330 is disposed between the two curved blades 320. The notch 330 prevents the inner groove sidewall from being completely plowed, and the remaining structure on the inner groove sidewall becomes the protrusion 120.
