[0025] A heat exchanger is a device that transfers part of the heat of a hot fluid to a cold fluid. It plays an important role in chemical, petroleum, power, food and many other industrial productions. A heat exchanger is formed by stacking heat exchange plate pairs. At present, the manufacturing process of bulging heat exchange plate pairs is generally plate pair welding, opening pipe ports, welding pipe ports, bulging forming, etc. The current pipe port opening process is usually manual operation, which has problems such as uncontrollable pipe port spacing dimensional accuracy, uneven pipe port deformation, poor forming quality, high manufacturing cost, and low production efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a bulging tooling for heat exchange plate pairs.

[0026] The existing process of opening pipe openings will mark the inlet and outlet positions on the plate pair, and use a conical or flat shovel-type expander to manually expand the openings by knocking. During the expansion process, the size cannot be accurately controlled, and the error in the spacing between the pipes is large; the expanded plates are subjected to instantaneous impact loads, and the elongation and tensile deformation is uneven, with large concentrated deformation and cold work hardening, which is prone to local cracking and affects the service life; the knocking depth of the pipe opening is uncontrollable, the deformation is uneven, and the transition is not smooth, making the piping assembly difficult; the manufacturing cost is high, the production efficiency is low, and it is not conducive to mass production.
