In order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency, it is necessary to use a fin heat dissipation structure to assist in heat dissipation. However, traditional heaters have the following disadvantages:
[0003] First, the heater adopts a sheet-like fin heat dissipation structure, which has a general heat dissipation effect. In addition, the sheet-like fin heat dissipation structure often uses a shoveling process directly on the surface of the flat tube to shovel out the sheet-like fins. The manufacturing cost is high, and the heat dissipation component as a whole uses more materials and is heavier.
[0004] Second, the flat tubes in traditional heaters have poor strength and are easily bent during processing, or easily deformed irregularly when subjected to pressure, affecting the quality of the heater.
[0005] Third, the existing heat dissipation fins and air ducts are neatly arranged, the contact between the fluid and the heat dissipation body is insufficient, and the heat exchange efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0026] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the utility model embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the utility model embodiments, not all of the embodiments. Based on the utility model embodiments, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of utility model protection.
[0027] For details, please refer to the examples Figure 1-5 A heat dissipation structure of a PTC aluminum tube heater includes a flat tube 1, with heat sinks 2 provided on both sides of the flat tube 1, a heating core 3 provided inside the flat tube 1, and the heat sink 2 including two sets of heat dissipation folds 21. A structural stabilizer 22 is provided between the two sets of heat dissipation folds 21. The two sets of heat dissipation folds 21 have exactly the same shape and structure and are arranged in opposite directions. This design forms multiple left and right vertical air ducts through the bent shape of the heat sink, and the bent shape also extends the area of the heat dissipation folds 21.
[0028] For details, please refer to the examples Figure 6-8The heat dissipation folding plate 21 includes a plurality of parallel metal folding strips 211, the width of the plurality of metal folding strips 211 is 2S, the plurality of metal folding strips 211 are partially overlapped, the overlap spacing is S, and the angles between all folds of the metal folding strips 211 and the long sides of the metal folding strips 211 are 45°. The plurality of metal folding strips 211 each include a plurality of heat dissipation contact sheets 2111, and the plurality of heat dissipation contact sheets 2111 are each arranged on one side of the flat tube 1, and one end of the plurality of heat dissipation contact sheets 2111 is respectively arranged at the lower end of the left-leaning heat dissipation sheet 2112, and the upper ends of the plurality of left-leaning heat dissipation sheets 2112 are respectively arranged on one side of the triangular top sheet 2113, and the other side of the plurality of triangular top sheets 2113 is respectively arranged at the upper end of the right-leaning heat dissipation sheet 2114, and the plurality of right-leaning heat dissipation sheets The lower ends of 2114 are respectively arranged at the other ends of the multiple heat dissipation contact plates 2111, and the lower ends of the multiple heat dissipation left-leaning plates 2112 in the two adjacent metal folding strips 211 are aligned. The height spacing of the multiple triangular top plates 2113 in the two adjacent metal folding strips 211 is S, and the multiple heat dissipation right-leaning plates 2114 in the two groups of heat dissipation folding plates 21 are staggered and interspersed. This design changes the flow direction of the fluid through the multiple heat dissipation left-leaning plates 2112 and the multiple heat dissipation right-leaning plates 2114 to form an inclined air duct. The inclined air duct allows the fluid to form turbulence when passing through the heat sink, slows down the flow rate, and prolongs the contact time between the fluid and the heat sink; the multiple heat dissipation right-leaning plates 2114 arranged in an interlaced and interspersed manner make the movement trajectory of the fluid more complicated, further prolonging the contact time between the fluid and the heat sink.
[0029] For details, please refer to the examples Figure 6-7 The structural stabilizer 22 includes a stabilizing strip 221, the two ends of which are respectively arranged on one side of the flat tube 1, and a plurality of top sheet stabilizing blocks 222 are provided in the middle of the stabilizing strip 221. The plurality of top sheet stabilizing blocks 222 are respectively arranged on one side of the plurality of triangular top sheets 2113. This design connects a plurality of triangular top sheets 2113 of different heights through the top sheet stabilizing blocks 222 to strengthen the structural strength of the metal folding strip 211.
[0030] Operating principle: First, when the fluid passes through the heat sink 2, the fluid flow direction is changed by multiple left-inclined heat sink fins 2112 and multiple right-inclined heat sink fins 2114 to form an inclined air duct. The inclined air duct allows the fluid to form turbulence when passing through the heat sink, slowing down the flow rate and prolonging the contact time between the fluid and the heat sink; the multiple staggered right-inclined heat sink fins 2114 make the fluid's movement trajectory more complicated, further prolonging the contact time between the fluid and the heat sink, thereby greatly improving the heat exchange efficiency.
