Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides the following technical solutions: a flat tube and fin structure of a parallel flow heat exchanger, comprising a plurality of flat tubes 1, a heat insulation plate 7 being provided at one end of the plurality of flat tubes 1, a header 6 being welded at both ends of the heat insulation plate 7, fins 8 being provided between adjacent flat tubes 1, a heat conduction plate 4 being provided at the end of the flat tube 1 away from the heat insulation plate 7, a through hole 5 being provided in the heat conduction plate 4, an induced draft fan 9 being provided in the through hole 5, a dustproof component 3 being provided on one side of the induced draft fan 9, and the flat tube 1 and the header 6 being connected by a connecting component 2.

[0024] Specifically, the connecting component 2 includes a vertical seat 21, a slot 22, a cavity 23, a hole 24, a fixed rod 25, a movable plate 26, a column 27, a spring 28, a limit assembly 29 and a push rod 210, wherein a vertical seat 21 is provided at one end of the collecting pipe 6, a plurality of slots 22 corresponding to the flat tube 1 are provided at one end of the vertical seat 21, a cavity 23 is provided in the vertical seat 21, a fixed rod 25 is provided at a position corresponding to the slot 22 in the cavity 23, a movable plate 26 is slidably connected to the fixed rod 25, a push rod 210 is provided on the lower side of the front end of the movable plate 26, a spring 28 is provided on the outside of the fixed rod 25 at one end of the movable plate 26, a column 27 is provided at one end of the movable plate 26 corresponding to the slot 22, holes 24 corresponding to the column 27 are provided at both ends of the flat tube 1, and a limit assembly 29 is provided at a position corresponding to the movable plate 26 in the cavity 23.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the push rod 210 pushes the movable plate 26 to slide on the fixed rod 25, the spring 28 is compressed, and then the two ends of the flat tube 1 are placed in the card slots 22 of the vertical seat 21, and the push rod 210 is released. The spring 28 stretches and pushes the movable plate 26 to reset, and the clamping column 27 at one end of the movable plate 26 enters the clamping hole 24 at both ends of the flat tube 1, so as to achieve the effect of limiting and fixing the flat tube 1. The push rod 210 is pushed to push the movable plate 26 to move. The movement of the movable plate 26 drives the clamping column 27 to move out of the clamping hole 24 of the flat tube 1, so that the two ends of the flat tube 1 can be removed from the clamping slots 22 of the vertical seat 21. By providing the connecting component 2, it is convenient to disassemble and replace a single flat tube 1.

[0026] Specifically, the limiting assembly 29 includes a rotating shaft 291, a baffle 292, a magnetic block 1 293 and a magnetic block 294, wherein the rotating shaft 291 is provided at a position corresponding to the movable plate 26 in the cavity 23, the baffle 292 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 291, the magnetic block 1 293 is provided at one end of the baffle 292, and the magnetic block 294 is provided at a position corresponding to the magnetic block 1 293 at one end of the movable plate 26.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, when there is no need to move the movable plate 26, the baffle 292 is moved, and the baffle 292 rotates in the cavity 23 through the rotating shaft 291. After the baffle 292 rotates to one end of the movable plate 26, the magnetic block 1 293 on the baffle 292 is adsorbed by the magnetic block 2 294 at one end of the movable plate 26. The baffle 292 limits the movable plate 26, thereby preventing the movable plate 26 from being moved accidentally and causing the clamping column 27 to move out of the clamping hole 24 at one end of the flat tube 1.

[0028] Specifically, the rotating shaft 291 is connected to the vertical seat 21 through a damping rotation. When the movable plate 26 is not pushed, one end of the movable plate 26 is flush with one end of the baffle 292 .

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating shaft 291 is not easy to rotate. When the movable plate 26 is not pushed, one end of the movable plate 26 is flush with one end of the baffle 292, so that the baffle 292 has a better limiting effect on the movable plate 26.

[0030] When the present embodiment is used, when the flat tube 1 and fin 8 structure of the parallel flow heat exchanger is used, the device is installed in a suitable position, and the induced draft fan 9 in the heat conducting plate 4 absorbs the heat generated by the operation of the internal components of the equipment into the heat exchanger, and performs heat dissipation and cooling through the fin 8 and the flat tube 1. By setting the connecting component 2, the push rod 210 is used to push the movable plate 26 to slide on the fixed rod 25, and the spring 28 is compressed. Then, the two ends of the flat tube 1 are placed in the card groove 22 of the vertical seat 21, and the push rod 210 is released. The spring 28 stretches and pushes the movable plate 26 to reset. The card column 27 at one end of the movable plate 26 enters the card hole 24 at both ends of the flat tube 1, so as to achieve the effect of limiting and fixing the flat tube 1, and the push rod 210 is pushed to move The plate 26 moves, and the movable plate 26 drives the clamping column 27 to be removed from the clamping hole 24 of the flat tube 1, so that the two ends of the flat tube 1 can be removed from the clamping groove 22 of the vertical seat 21. By setting the connecting component 2, it is convenient to disassemble and replace a single flat tube 1. By setting the limiting component 29, when there is no need to move the movable plate 26, by toggling the baffle 292, the baffle 292 rotates in the cavity 23 through the rotating shaft 291. After the baffle 292 rotates to one end of the movable plate 26, the magnetic block 1 293 on the baffle 292 is adsorbed by the magnetic block 2 294 at one end of the movable plate 26. The baffle 292 limits the movable plate 26 to avoid the movable plate 26 from moving out of the clamping column 27 from the clamping hole 24 at one end of the flat tube 1 due to accidental movement.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the dustproof component 3 includes a dustproof plate 31, a protrusion 32, a groove 33, a fixing bolt 34, a fixing hole 35 and a handle 36, wherein a dustproof plate 31 is provided on one side of the induced draft fan 9, protrusions 32 are provided at both ends of the dustproof plate 31, a handle 36 is provided at one end of the protrusion 32, grooves 33 corresponding to the protrusion 32 are provided at both ends of the through hole 5, the protrusion 32 is connected to the heat conduction plate 4 by a fixing bolt 34, and a fixing hole 35 corresponding to the fixing bolt 34 is provided in the groove 33.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the dustproof plate 31 is placed in the through hole 5, and at the same time, the protrusions 32 at both ends of the dustproof plate 31 enter the grooves 33, and then the fixing bolts 34 are screwed into the fixing holes 35, so as to achieve the effect of limiting and fixing the protrusions 32 and the dustproof plate 31. When the induced draft fan 9 is blowing air, the dustproof plate 31 plays a dust-proof role, preventing the induced draft fan 9 from blowing dust and other impurities toward the fins 8.

[0034] Specifically, after the protrusion 32 enters the groove 33 , the side of the protrusion 32 is in close contact with the inner wall of the groove 33 , and a through hole corresponding to the fixing bolt 34 is provided in the protrusion 32 .

[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, after the protrusion 32 enters the groove 33 , the protrusion 32 is more firmly fixed in the groove 33 , and the fixing bolt 34 can pass through the protrusion 32 and be screwed into the fixing hole 35 .

[0036] When this embodiment is used, the dustproof component 3 is set, and the dustproof plate 31 is placed in the through hole 5. At the same time, the protrusions 32 at both ends of the dustproof plate 31 enter the grooves 33, and then the fixing bolts 34 are screwed into the fixing holes 35 to achieve the effect of limiting and fixing the protrusions 32 and the dustproof plate 31. When the induced draft fan 9 is blowing air, the dustproof plate 31 plays a dustproof role, preventing the induced draft fan 9 from blowing dust and other impurities toward the fins 8.

[0037] The structure and working principle of the flat tube 1, heat conducting plate 4, through hole 5, manifold 6, heat insulation plate 7, fin 8 and induced draft fan 9 in the utility model have been disclosed in Chinese patent application No. 2022208949077, which discloses a flat tube assembly for a microchannel heat exchanger. Its working principle is that the induced draft fan 9 in the heat conducting plate 4 absorbs the heat generated by the operation of the internal components of the equipment into the heat exchanger, and dissipates heat and cools it through the fin 8 and the flat tube 1.

[0038] The working principle and use process of the present invention: When the flat tube 1 and fin 8 structure of the parallel flow heat exchanger are used, the device is installed in a suitable position, and the induced draft fan 9 in the heat conducting plate 4 absorbs the heat generated by the operation of the internal components of the equipment into the heat exchanger, and performs heat dissipation and cooling through the fin 8 and the flat tube 1. By setting the connecting component 2, the push rod 210 pushes the movable plate 26 to slide on the fixed rod 25, and the spring 28 is compressed. Then, the two ends of the flat tube 1 are placed in the card slot 22 of the vertical seat 21, and the push rod 210 is released. The spring 28 stretches and pushes the movable plate 26 to reset. The clamping column 27 at one end of the movable plate 26 enters the clamping hole 24 at both ends of the flat tube 1 to achieve the effect of limiting and fixing the flat tube 1. Pushing the push rod 210 pushes the movable plate 26 to move. The movement of the movable plate 26 drives the clamping column 27 to move out of the clamping hole 24 of the flat tube 1, and the two ends of the flat tube 1 can be removed from the clamping slot 22 of the vertical seat 21. The connecting assembly 2 is convenient for disassembling and replacing a single flat tube 1. By setting a limit assembly 29, when the movable plate 26 does not need to be moved, the baffle 292 is toggled, and the baffle 292 rotates in the cavity 23 through the rotating shaft 291. After the baffle 292 rotates to one end of the movable plate 26, the magnetic block 293 on the baffle 292 is attracted to the magnetic block 294 at one end of the movable plate 26. The baffle 292 plays a limiting role on the movable plate 26 to avoid the movable plate 26 from being accidentally moved. The movement causes the clamping column 27 to be removed from the clamping hole 24 at one end of the flat tube 1. By setting the dustproof component 3, the dustproof plate 31 is placed in the through hole 5, and at the same time, the protrusions 32 at both ends of the dustproof plate 31 enter the groove 33, and then the fixing bolts 34 are screwed into the fixing holes 35 to achieve the effect of limiting and fixing the protrusions 32 and the dustproof plate 31. When the induced draft fan 9 is blowing air, the dustproof plate 31 plays a dustproof role to prevent the induced draft fan 9 from blowing dust and other impurities toward the fins 8.
