[0026] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application. In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element fixture referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to the heat exchanger 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the heat exchanger 100 includes a plurality of fins 1, two headers 2, and a plurality of heat exchange tubes 3. The aforementioned fins 1, headers 2, and heat exchange tubes 3 are all aluminum alloy components, which are welded together by brazing. The fins 1 are plate-shaped fins, and one fin 1 has a plurality of second through holes 102 for the heat exchange tubes 3 to pass through. The heat exchange tubes 3 are arranged to be consistent with the direction of the air flow, the headers 2 are arranged so that the length direction of the headers 2 is perpendicular to the length direction of the heat exchange tubes or at other angles, and the fins 1 are arranged so that the length direction of the fins is perpendicular to the direction of the air flow.

[0028] The header 2 is formed as a cylindrical aluminum pipe fitting with a long longitudinal length. One header 2 is arranged at the left end of the heat exchanger 100, and the other header 2 is arranged at the right end of the heat exchanger 100. The heat exchange tube 3 is a heat transfer tube with a circular cross-section. Multiple heat exchange tubes 3 are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the header 2. The heat exchange tube 3 has a channel for the circulation of refrigerant. One end of the heat exchange tube 3 is inserted into one header 2, and the other end of the heat exchange tube 3 is inserted into the other header 2.

[0029] like Figure 3As shown, the fin 1 is a plate-shaped fin having a relatively long longitudinal length formed by stamping an aluminum metal plate. The fin 1 includes a plate-shaped fin body 10, a flange 11 and a spacer 12. The fin body 10 includes a first edge portion 103 surrounding a first through hole 101 and a second edge portion 104 surrounding a second through hole 102. That is, after stamping the preset position of the fin 1, the flange 11 and the second through hole 102, as well as the spacer 12 and the first through hole 101 are formed. The hydraulic diameter of the second through hole 102 is larger than that of the first through hole 101. Regarding the hydraulic diameter of the through-hole 101, in the width direction of the fin body 10, the first through-hole 101 is closer to the edge of the fin body 10 than the second through-hole 102. The second through-hole 102 is for the heat exchange tube 3 to pass through. The flange 11 supports and secures the heat exchange tube 3, facilitating welding and fixation. Furthermore, when the heat exchange tube passes through multiple spaced fins one by one, the flange 11 guides the end of the heat exchange tube 3 during insertion, thereby reducing displacement deviations during insertion and improving the reliability of the heat exchanger. Furthermore, the flange 11 can be a full ring-like flange 3 arranged at the edge of the second through-hole 102, or it can be a flange 3 of another structure, such as a flange 3 with an arc or polyline outline.

[0030] The technicians found that since the diameter of the heat exchange tube 3 is small, the area of the first through hole 101 on the fin 1 for the heat exchange tube 3 to pass through is also relatively small, and the flange 11 is made of the material produced by manufacturing the first through hole 101. If the distance between two adjacent fin bodies 10 is greater than the diameter of the heat exchange tube 3, the preset distance cannot be effectively controlled by the flange. The technicians thought of setting a spacer 12 to effectively control the distance between two adjacent fin bodies 10, and the spacer 12 is taken from the fin 3 material. The height of the spacer 12 can be freely adjusted according to the preset height. Therefore, the fin 1 material is effectively utilized, which is conducive to adjusting the height size of the spacer 12 and the fin spacing between adjacent fins 1 of the heat exchanger 100.

[0031] The technicians further discovered that if the height of the flange 11 can reach a preset height, there is no need to control the spacing by additionally setting up spacers 12. Therefore, in order to be able to realize design schemes with different spacings, by setting spacers 12 and the height of the spacers 12 is greater than or equal to the height of the flange 11, that is, H≥h, the difficulty of the high size limitation of the spacing between adjacent fins 1 can be reduced, thereby improving the flexibility and applicability of the fin 1 structure.

[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 10As shown, a first spacer 12 is provided above the second through hole 102, and a second spacer 12' is provided below the second through hole 102. The first spacer 12 and the second spacer are located on different sides of the flange 11 in the width direction of the fin body 10. The first fixed end 1213 of the first spacer 12 is connected to the first edge portion 103. The fin body 10 has a first side surface 105 along the thickness direction of the fin body 10. The first fixed end 1213 of the first spacer 12 has a first contour line 106 on the first side surface. The first edge portion 103 includes a second contour line 107 and a third contour line 108 on the first side surface 105 of the fin body 10. The second contour line 107 is closer to the flange 11 than the third contour line 108. The second contour line 107 intersects with one end of the first contour line 106, and the third contour line 108 intersects with the other end of the first contour line 106. The second contour line 107 intersects with the first contour line 106 at point Q. The fixed end portion 1213 is connected to the other first edge portion 103. The first fixed end portion 1213 of the first spacer 12 has a fourth contour line 109 on the first side 105. The first edge portion 103 includes a fifth contour line 110 and a sixth contour line 111 on the first side 105 of the fin body 10. The fifth contour line 110 intersects with one end of the fourth contour line 109, and the sixth contour line 111 intersects with the other end of the fourth contour line 109. The fifth contour line 110 is larger than the sixth contour line 111. Line 111 is close to the flange 11, the fourth contour line 109 and the fifth contour line 110 intersect at point Q', the vertical distance from point Q to the outer surface of the flange 11 is L1, the vertical distance from point Q to the second edge portion is L1, and the vertical distance from point Q' to the second edge portion is L2, L1≤L2, L1 is less than or equal to L2, which is beneficial to reducing the heat exchange efficiency of the windward side of the fin 1 under the heat pump working condition, and is beneficial to reducing frost on the windward side of the fin 1 and improving the frost thickness on the surface of the fin 1.

[0033] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the fin 1 includes a fin body 10, a spacer 12 and a flange 11, the fin body 10 has a first through hole 101 and a second through hole 102, the first through hole 101 and the second through hole 102 pass through the fin body 10, the hydraulic diameter of the second through hole 102 is larger than the hydraulic diameter of the first through hole 101, in the width direction of the fin body 10, the first through hole 101 is closer to the edge of the fin body 10 than the second through hole 102, the edge of the first through hole 101 is defined as the first edge portion, and the edge of the second through hole 102 is defined as the second edge portion. The edge portion, the spacer 12 includes a first fixed end 1213 and a first free end 1224, the first free end 1224 is farther away from the fin body 10 than the first fixed end 1213, the first fixed end 1213 is connected to the first edge portion, and the vertical distance between the first free end and the fin body is H, the flange 11 includes a second fixed end 111 and a second free end 112, the second fixed end 111 is connected to the second edge portion 1021, and the vertical distance between the second free end 112 of the flange 11 and the fin body 10 is h, H≥h.

[0034] It is understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, h refers to the vertical distance between the second free end of the flange and the fin body. Considering that the flange structure may have various shapes, the height of the flange refers to the overall height of the flange, that is, the distance between the plane where the second sub-spacer 1212 is located and the plane where the fin body 10 is located.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, the fin 1 includes a spacer 12, and the two spacers 12 are located on both sides of the first through hole 101 in the width direction of the fin 1, that is, one spacer 12 is located above the second through hole 102, and the other spacer 12 is located below the second through hole 102. The two flanges 11 and the two spacers 12 are roughly located in four directions, and it is defined that the vertical distance from the first spacer 12 located above the second through hole 102 to the flange 11 is equal to the vertical distance from the second spacer 12' to the flange 11. The extension direction of the first contour line is parallel to the extension direction of the fourth contour line. When the heat exchange tube 3 passes through the second through hole 102 of the fin 1, the fin 1 is subjected to uniform force, which is beneficial to increasing the strength of the fin 1. The fin 1 is not easily deformed, which can improve the reliability of the fin 1.

[0036] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 10As shown, the inner diameter of the second through hole 102 is D, the vertical distance from point Q to the outer surface of the flange is L1, the inner diameter of the second through hole is D, 0.3<L1 / D<0.7, and / or, the vertical distance from point Q' to the outer surface of the flange 11 is L2, the inner diameter of the second through hole is D, 0.3<L2 / D<0.7, that is, the position of point Q is actually related to the position of the spacer 12. A smaller distance from point Q to the flange 11 means that the spacer 12 is closer to the flange 11. Conversely, a larger distance from point Q to the flange 11 means that the spacer 12 is farther away from the flange 22. When the ratio of L1 to the inner diameter D is less than 0.3, it is easy to cause the local fins around the flange 11 to be unevenly stressed when the heat exchange tube 3 passes through the second through hole 102 of the fin 1, especially when the same heat exchange tube 3 passes through multiple fins 1 arranged in sequence, it is easy to cause the fins to fall over, thereby affecting the reliability of the heat exchanger. Furthermore, if the ratio of L1 to the inner diameter D is greater than 0.7, the spacer 12 will extend beyond the flange 11, meaning that the spacer 12 will be closer to the widthwise ends of the fin 1. This can lead to insufficient strength at the ends of the fin 1, thus affecting the reliability of the fin and, consequently, the heat exchanger using the fin 1. Therefore, when the ratio of the spacer 12 to the inner diameter D of the second through hole 102 is within the range of 0.3 < L1 / D < 0.7, the strength of the fin 1 can be improved, the fin can be evenly compressed, and lodging can be reduced.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the spacer 12 is formed by bending a part of the fin body 10, that is, the spacer 12 is formed by cutting out a part of the fin body 10 and then folding it. Specifically, the spacer 12 is bent from the bending area of the fin body 10 to stand up at a right angle. The spacer 12 includes a first sub-spacer 1211 and a second sub-spacer 1212. The first sub-spacer 1211 and the second sub-spacer 1212 are vertically arranged. The first sub-spacer 1211 can be set as a flat sheet, and the second sub-spacer can also be a flat sheet. In addition, the first sub-spacer 1211 can also be a wavy structure, and the second sub-spacer 1212 can also be a curved arc structure. In the heat exchanger, the first sub-spacer 1211 can be set to control the spacing between adjacent fins 1, and the second sub-spacer 1212 abuts against the fin body 10 of the adjacent fin 1 to limit the position, so that the fin 1 can be effectively and reliably limited to the preset position.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 10As shown, the extension direction of the first contour line 106 of the spacer 12 is set at an angle to the length direction of the fin body 10, and the angle is an acute angle α, which is greater than 30 degrees and less than 50 degrees. When α is less than 30 degrees or even close to 0 degrees, the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 100 will be affected because the fins will block the air flow, thereby reducing the heat exchange capacity of the heat exchanger. Similarly, when the angle α is greater than 50 degrees, especially when it is close to 90 degrees, since the header 2 of the heat exchanger 100 is placed vertically or tilted when the heat exchanger is used, it means that The fins 1 are placed vertically or nearly vertically. In that case, in the system, when the heat exchanger 100 is used as a condenser, the condensed water on the heat exchanger 100 cannot be quickly removed. If the condensed water is not removed in time, the heat exchanger 100 will easily frost, which will easily affect the use of the heat exchanger. Therefore, when the partition is greater than 30 degrees and less than 50 degrees, during the use of the heat exchanger 100, various advantages can be combined, and the heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger 100 is better, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 100.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 Two spacers 12 are provided around the second through hole 102, and a plane parallel to the length direction of the fin body 10 and perpendicular to the width direction of the fin body 10 is defined as a first plane. In the width direction of the fin body 10, one spacer 12 has a first projection on the first plane 105, and the other of the two spacers 12 has a second projection on the first plane 105. The first projection and the second projection do not overlap at all in the width direction of the fin 1. The second through hole 102 is a circular hole, and the line of the center of the through hole is defined as the center line. The two spacers 12 are bounded by the center line and are located on both sides of the center line, and the spacers 12 are arranged at an angle. This arrangement is also beneficial to the heat exchange tube 3 when passing through multiple fins 1. The local fins around the second through hole 102 of the fin 1 are subjected to relatively uniform extrusion pressure, and the fin 1 is not prone to collapse.

[0040] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown, the spacer 12 also includes a reinforcing rib 123, which is a convex structure, and the reinforcing rib 123 extends in the length direction of the first sub-spacer 1211. The provision of the reinforcing rib 123 is beneficial to improving the strength of the spacer 12, and can reduce the deformation of the spacer 12, thereby improving the reliability of the fin 1.

[0041] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 8The spacer 12 has a transition portion between the first fixed end 1213 and the first free end 1214. The transition portion 121 includes a first subspacer 1211 and a second subspacer 1212. The first subspacer 1211 is connected to the first fixed end 1213, and the second subspacer 1212 is connected to the first free end 1214. The first subspacer 1211 and the second subspacer 1212 are connected. The height of the first subspacer 1211 is H, and the length of the second subspacer 1212 is L3 (as shown), where 4 ≤ H / L3 ≤ 25. In the heat exchanger 100, within this range, the first subspacer 1211 of the spacer 12 can provide support for the adjacent fin 1. Furthermore, when the second subspacer 1212 of the spacer 12 abuts the adjacent fin 1, the contact area between the two adjacent fins 1 is increased, thereby increasing the effective welding area and effectively improving the reliability of the heat exchanger 100.

[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the heat exchanger 100 includes a heat exchange tube 3 and two headers 2. One end of the heat exchange tube 3 is directly connected to one header 2, and the other end of the heat exchange tube is directly connected to the other header 2. It can be understood that indirect connection means that the end of the heat exchange tube 3 is connected to the header 2 through other pipes.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 , Figures 9 and 10 The fin body 10 is further provided with a plurality of windows 13. The plurality of windows 12 have a turbulent effect on the air flow, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 100 using the fin 1. In some embodiments, two or more windows are collectively referred to as a window group. In some cases, such as Figure 2 As shown, two or more groups of window sheets are provided in the width direction of the fin body 10, and the window sheet group includes a plurality of first window sheets 131 and a plurality of second window sheets 132. The plurality of first window sheets 131 constitute the first window sheet group, and the plurality of second window sheets 132 constitute the second window sheet group. Figure 2 As shown by the arrow, the length of the first window 131 on the windward side is greater than that of the second window 132 on the leeward side. In the width direction of the fin 1, the heat exchange area of the first window group is greater than that of the second window group, thereby enhancing the turbulence of the air and improving the heat exchange capacity of the heat exchanger.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 11As shown, the heat exchange system includes a compressor, a first heat exchanger 200, a throttling device 300, a second heat exchanger 400, and a reversing valve 500. When the system is in operation, the refrigerant flowing out of the outlet of the compressor 100 flows to the first heat exchanger 200, then flows out of the first heat exchanger 200 through the throttling device 300 into the second heat exchanger 400, then flows out of the second heat exchanger 400 through the reversing valve 500 into the compressor. The reversing valve 500 has two operating states: the first is represented by a solid line, and the second is represented by a dotted line. Therefore, the heat exchange system also has another operating state: the refrigerant flowing out of the outlet of the compressor 100 flows to the second heat exchanger 400, then flows out of the second heat exchanger 400 through the throttling device 300 into the first heat exchanger 200, then flows out of the first heat exchanger 200 through the reversing valve 500, and finally flows into the compressor.

[0045] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 The heat exchanger 100 shown in FIG. 1 is used as a condenser in Figure 11 In the heat exchange system, the moisture content of the air on the windward side of the heat exchanger 100 is high, and frost will first form on the fins on the windward side. When the center of the heat exchange tube 3 deviates from the center line of the fin 1 and approaches the leeward side, the heat exchange area of the fin 1 on the windward side of the heat exchanger 100 increases, so the frost thickness on the windward side of the heat exchanger 100 will be thinner, which is beneficial to delay the frost time of the heat exchanger and reduce the frost cycle.
