[0026] The upper water fin 5 and the lower water fin 6 are both wrapped with solder strips, the upper water fin 5 is filled between the upper part of the tube core assembly 4 and the inner wall of the tube shell 1, and the lower water fin 6 is filled between the lower part of the tube core assembly 4 and the inner wall of the tube shell 1;
[0027] The upper water fin 5, the lower water fin 6 and the tube shell 1 are welded together by solder strips to form a whole.
[0028] In this embodiment, the left tube plate 2 is formed with a left plug hole 7, and the right tube plate 3 is formed with a right plug hole 8; the tube core assembly 4 includes a plurality of flat tubes 9 arranged up and down, one end of the flat tube 9 is connected to the left plug hole 7, and the other end of the flat tube 9 is connected to the right plug hole 8.
[0029] Specifically, the left end of the flat tube 9 of the tube core assembly 4 is inserted into the left plug hole 7, and the right end of the flat tube 9 of the tube core assembly 4 is inserted into the right plug hole 8, thereby fixing the left end of the tube core assembly 4 by the left tube plate 2 and fixing the right end of the tube core assembly 4 by the right tube plate 3.
[0030] In this embodiment, it also includes a left deflector 10, a middle deflector 11 and a right deflector 12; the left deflector 10 is connected to the left end of a plurality of flat tubes 9 arranged vertically, the middle deflector 11 is connected to the middle position of a plurality of flat tubes 9 arranged vertically, and the right deflector is connected to the right end of a plurality of flat tubes 9 arranged vertically; the left deflector 10, the middle deflector 11 and the right deflector 12 are all comb-shaped, and the opening directions of the left deflector 10 and the right deflector 12 are opposite to the opening direction of the middle deflector 11.
[0031] Specifically, the left baffle 10, the middle baffle 11 and the right baffle 12 not only guide the fluid in the tube shell 1 to repeatedly change direction to flow in a cross flow or other forms of flow, but also adjust the spacing between the left baffle 10, the middle baffle 11 and the right baffle 12 to obtain a suitable flow rate and improve the heat transfer efficiency. In addition, the left baffle 10, the middle baffle 11 and the right baffle 12 can also support the flat tube 9 of the tube core assembly 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, the assembly process of the cooler water fin tube core assembly structure is as follows:
[0036] (1) Wrap the upper water fin 5 and the lower water fin 6 with a solder tape;
[0037] (2) The upper water fin 5 and the lower water fin 6 are respectively close to the tube core at both ends;
[0038] (3) Insert the upper water fin 5, the lower water fin 6 and the tube core into the tube shell 1;

[0045] Table 1 Second-order modal vibration shape distribution before optimization
[0046] Modal Order Resonance frequency 1 225 2 325 3 372 4 382 5 391 6 403
[0047] Table 2 Second-order modal vibration mode distribution before optimization
[0048] Modal Order Resonance frequency 1 225 2 315 3 372 4 474 5 573 6 568
[0049] In the schemes before and after optimization, the 1 / 2 / 3 order resonance frequencies are basically the same, and the 4 / 5 / 6 order resonance frequencies are significantly increased after optimization. It can be seen that the resonance frequencies of the optimized scheme have no significant difference in low modal orders, but are significantly improved in high modal orders. The above verification process proves that the assembly of the upper water fin 5, the lower water fin 6 and the tube core assembly 4 can improve the welding strength and ensure the product performance requirements of the cooler under harsh working conditions.

In addition, the left baffle 10, the middle baffle 11 and the right baffle 12 can also support the flat tube 9 of the tube core assembly 4.
