[0014] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present utility model provides a plate-fin heat exchanger for brazing and clamping pipes, overcoming the deficiencies of the prior art. The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. In the present utility model, when the brazing tube needs to be replaced, the extrusion unit cancels the extrusion force on the moving ring, and the moving ring can move. The moving ring disengages from the connecting ring, and then the brazing tube can be removed.

When the extrusion block moves to a position other than the falling port, the extrusion block extrudes the moving ring, and the moving ring tightly abuts against the connecting ring. Then, a suitable limiting hole is selected, and the lower end of the limiting rod is inserted into the limiting hole. The tensile force of the spring limits the position of the limiting rod, achieving the effect of facilitating the replacement of the brazing tube.
[0017] 3. In the present utility model, when the rotating ring is rotated, the first ball slides in the second arc groove, and the second ball slides in the third arc groove, reducing the frictional resistance suffered when the rotating ring rotates, which is convenient for maintenance personnel to operate.
