DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a microchannel radiator flat tube installation structure includes a shell; a limiting frame 5 is installed on the inner wall of the shell 3, and a plurality of groups of flat tube fixing components 10 are evenly distributed on the limiting frame 5. The flat tube fixing components 10 are limitedly connected to the flat tubes 4; wherein, the design of the limiting frame 5 is to more effectively install the flat tube fixing components 10, allowing the flat tube fixing components 10 to effectively fix the position of the flat tubes 4, preparing for the subsequent installation of the fin plate and the double-sided heat dissipation process.

[0024] The housing 3 is vertically mounted with shaped baffles 11 on the front and rear ends, respectively. A top cover 1 is mounted on top of these shaped baffles 11. Three sets of horizontal holes 8 are longitudinally formed in the front and rear shaped baffles 11. Pipe sleeves 9 are mounted within these holes, and tributary pipes are installed within these sleeves. The top cover 1 is designed to effectively prevent dust. The shaped baffles 11 limit the installation position of the fins and flat tubes, and can also be used to add tributary pipes to facilitate subsequent heat dissipation and heat exchange processes.

[0025] Furthermore, an auxiliary plug-in plate 7 is installed at the slope position of the special-shaped baffle 11, and a fin plate installation space is reserved between the auxiliary plug-in plate 7 and the flat tube 4. The reserved fin plate installation space can be used for subsequent installation of the fin plate.

[0026] Furthermore, the flat tube fixing assembly 10 includes a base plate 16, an auxiliary plug plate 7 and a supporting shaft 13;

[0027] The base plate 16 is embedded within the limiting frame 5. Guide plates 17 are vertically mounted in front and behind the base plate 16. These plates are provided with through-holes, and two sets of through-holes are used to horizontally insert support shafts 13. These support shafts 13 have brackets 14 on their shafts, which engage with the flat tubes 4 for support. The guide plates 17 also engage with the flat tubes 4 for guidance. The two sets of guide plates 17, combined with the base plate 16, form a structure that serves as a guide. The design of the brackets 14 lowers the center of gravity during support.

[0028] Furthermore, the buckle 18 integrally connected to the bottom of the guide vertical plate 17 is snap-fitted to the bottom plate 16. The buckle 18 can complete an effective fixing process.

[0029] Furthermore, the guide vertical plate 17 is provided with a hole plate 15 horizontally along the top of the through hole. Wherein, the hole plate 15 is a plug-in plate that is willing to cooperate with the horizontal plug-in.

[0030] Furthermore, the special-shaped baffle 11 is installed with two sets of bolt limiting sleeves 12 along the top horizontal plate position, and the bolt limiting sleeves 12 are inserted with positioning bolts 2. Among them, the positioning bolts 2 inserted inside the bolt limiting sleeves 12 can further stabilize the installation structure of the special-shaped baffle 11.

[0031] It should be noted that the above content only illustrates the technical idea of ​​the utility model and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. For ordinary technicians in this technical field, they can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the utility model.
