Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing processing equipment, and in particular to a heat exchanger and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In heat exchangers of garment processing equipment, finned structures are typically used to enhance heat exchange. However, traditional finned structures have limitations in increasing airflow turbulence and heat exchange efficiency, resulting in poor heat exchange performance. For example, traditional finned designs often lack structures to guide airflow and fail to fully utilize airflow turbulence, leading to insufficient heat exchange and limited improvement in heat exchange efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, one objective of this invention is to provide a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger according to this invention comprises a heat exchanger body and a flow-turbating element. The flow-turbating element has a first wall and a second wall facing away from each other, and a channel connecting the first wall and the second wall. The channel guides the airflow, allowing the airflow to flow between the first wall side and the second wall side, thereby breaking the laminar flow state of the airflow, increasing turbulence, and thus improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.

[0004] This utility model also proposes a clothing processing device including the above-mentioned heat exchanger.

[0005] The heat exchanger according to this utility model includes a heat exchanger body and a flow-deflecting element. The flow-deflecting element is disposed on the heat exchanger body. A first wall and a second wall opposite to each other are formed on the flow-deflecting element. The flow-deflecting element is provided with a channel that connects the first wall and the second wall and is suitable for airflow.

[0006] According to this utility model, a first wall and a second wall are formed on the baffle. The baffle is inserted into the heat exchanger. At this time, the first wall and the second wall correspond to the two sides of the space inside the heat exchanger, respectively. The channel connects the first wall and the second wall, that is, the airflow on the first wall side and the airflow on the second wall side can exchange with each other. When the baffle is assembled into the heat exchanger, when the circulating airflow of the heat exchanger passes through the baffle, it can flow from the first wall side to the second wall side or from the second wall side to the first wall side under the guidance of the channel. After the airflow is guided by the channel on the baffle, a more complex flow path is formed in the heat exchanger, which increases the contact area and contact time between the airflow and the heat exchanger wall, so that the airflow can more fully exchange heat with the medium inside the heat exchanger, thereby improving the overall heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger. The channel of the turbulence-disrupting element connects the first wall and the second wall of the turbulence-disrupting element, causing turbulence when the airflow passes through the turbulence-disrupting element. This means that the airflow can have multiple path options. For example, the airflow can flow directly through one side of the first wall and the second wall of the turbulence-disrupting element, or it can flow between one side of the first wall and the second wall. This helps to break the laminar flow state of the airflow, increase the turbulence, and thus improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the first wall and the second wall has a protrusion protruding from the baffle, the protrusion surrounding at least a portion of the outer periphery of the inlet and / or outlet of the channel.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least a portion of the channel is formed within the protrusion, and an opening is formed on the side of the protrusion extending toward the direction of the spoiler, the opening being configured as an inlet or outlet of the channel.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, an arc-shaped transition section is formed on the protrusion, and a guide surface is formed on the side of the arc-shaped transition section facing the interior of the channel. The guide surface is adapted to guide the airflow on one side of the first wall to one side of the second wall, or to guide the airflow on one side of the second wall to one side of the first wall.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the spoiler is constructed as a plurality of components stacked on top of each other.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the distance between two adjacent spoilers is h1, the thickness of the protrusion is h2, and the following condition is satisfied: "2≤h1 / h2≤3".

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the turbulence-disrupting component includes: a main body and a comb tooth portion. The comb tooth portion is configured as a plurality of comb teeth, which are respectively arranged at intervals on one side of the width direction of the main body portion and extend in a direction away from the main body portion. The comb tooth portion is provided with the protrusion and the channel, and a plug groove suitable for cooperating with the heat exchanger is formed between two adjacent comb tooth portions.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the protrusions are a plurality of protrusions spaced apart in the extending direction of the comb teeth, the plurality of protrusions are staggered on the comb teeth, or the plurality of protrusions are arranged on the same side of the comb teeth, or the plurality of protrusions are arranged on at least partially opposite sides of the comb teeth.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the heat exchanger body includes: a flat tube, wherein the flat tube is configured to be multiple tubes stacked in the heat exchanger, and multiple slots open to the outside and suitable for airflow are formed between two adjacent flat tubes, the insertion groove on the baffle is suitable for insertion into the flat tube, and the comb-tooth portion of the baffle is suitable for insertion into the slot.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the heat exchanger body is constructed as a plurality of spaced-apart components in a first direction, and each heat exchanger body has a plurality of flow-disrupting components inserted therein, wherein the opening direction of the protrusions on the flow-disrupting components is opposite to the airflow direction.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the flat tube is constructed as a serpentine tube.

[0017] The following is a brief description of the garment processing equipment according to this utility model.

[0018] The clothing processing device according to this utility model includes the heat exchanger in the above embodiments. Since the clothing processing device according to this utility model is equipped with the heat exchanger in the above embodiments, the clothing processing device can enhance airflow disturbance and improve heat exchange efficiency through the channel design on the baffle, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the clothing processing device and reducing energy consumption.

[0019] In summary, the heat exchanger of this utility model comprises a heat exchanger body and a flow-deflecting element. The flow-deflecting element defines a first wall and a second wall, each of which can be provided with protrusions. Each protrusion corresponds to a channel, which connects the first and second walls. The protrusion surrounds at least a portion of the outer periphery of the channel. This can be understood as a part of the channel being a hole penetrating the flow-deflecting element, with the protrusion positioned around the hole. This increases the structural strength of the flow-deflecting element. Simultaneously, the protrusion can also, to a certain extent, obstruct airflow and change its direction and velocity, thereby improving the heat exchanger's efficiency. A portion of the channel is formed inside the protrusion, and the protrusion, in conjunction with the hole on the flow-deflecting element, forms a complete channel located on both sides of the flow-deflecting element. Airflow from one side of the first wall and the other side of the second wall can flow to the other side through the corresponding channel. The protrusion has an opening that communicates with the channel and faces the extension direction of the flow-deflecting element (after assembly, the opening is opposite to the airflow direction), allowing airflow to enter the channel through the opening. The protrusion features an arc-shaped transition section, which optimizes its shape and enhances its structural strength. Simultaneously, a guide surface is formed on the inner side of the arc-shaped transition section (the side facing the channel), guiding airflow from one side of the baffle to the other. When the baffle is inserted into the heat exchanger, the airflow flows in. At this point, the airflow on both sides of the baffle changes direction multiple times under the guidance of the channel and flows between the first and second walls, breaking the laminar flow and increasing turbulence, thereby improving the heat exchanger's efficiency. Each baffle has a main body and multiple teeth. Each tooth has multiple protrusions and channels. The main body connects to the teeth, increasing the structural strength of the guide, and the multiple teeth enhance the baffle's turbulence effect. When used in conjunction with a heat exchanger, multiple heat exchanger bodies can be arranged in a first direction within a single heat exchanger. Each heat exchanger body has multiple stacked flat tubes with slots formed between them. Each slot can accommodate multiple stacked baffles with teeth at the same position, meaning that a slot contains multiple stacked teeth. Each tooth can have multiple protrusions that are spaced apart or staggered, which further enhances the turbulence of the airflow at the slot position, prolongs the heat exchange time between the airflow and the flat tubes, and thus improves the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.

[0035] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0036] In heat exchangers of garment processing equipment, finned structures are typically used to enhance heat exchange. However, traditional finned structures have limitations in increasing airflow turbulence and heat exchange efficiency, resulting in poor heat exchange performance. For example, traditional finned designs often lack structures to guide airflow and fail to fully utilize airflow turbulence, leading to insufficient heat exchange and limited improvement in heat exchange efficiency.

[0037] The following is for reference. Figures 1-6 Describes a baffle element according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] The heat exchanger 2 according to the present invention includes a heat exchanger body 21 and a flow-deflecting element 1. The flow-deflecting element 1 is disposed on the heat exchanger body 21. A first wall 11 and a second wall 12 opposite to each other are formed on the flow-deflecting element 1. The flow-deflecting element 1 is provided with a channel 13 that connects the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 and is suitable for airflow.

[0039] The heat exchanger 2 according to this utility model is provided with a heat exchanger body 21 and a baffle 1. The baffle 1 can be understood as a fin structure in the prior art. A first wall 11 and a second wall 12 are formed on the baffle 1. The baffle 1 is inserted into the heat exchanger body 21. At this time, the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 correspond to the two sides of the space inside the heat exchanger 2, respectively. The channel 13 connects the first wall 11 and the second wall 12, that is, the airflow on the first wall 11 side and the airflow on the second wall 12 side can exchange with each other. When the baffle 1 is assembled into the heat exchanger body... After step 21, when the circulating airflow of heat exchanger 2 passes through the turbulence member 1, the airflow can flow from one side of the first wall 11 to the side of the second wall 12, or from one side of the second wall 12 to the side of the first wall 11, under the guidance of the channel 13. After being guided by the channel 13 on the turbulence member 1, the airflow forms a more complex flow path in the heat exchanger 2, which increases the contact area and contact time between the airflow and the wall of the heat exchanger 2, so that the airflow can more fully exchange heat with the medium inside the heat exchanger 2, thereby improving the overall heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 2.

[0040] The channel 13 of the turbulence-disrupting element 1 connects the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 of the turbulence-disrupting element 1, so that the airflow is disturbed when passing through the turbulence-disrupting element 1. That is, the airflow can have multiple path choices. For example, the airflow can flow directly through one side of the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 of the turbulence-disrupting element 1, or it can flow between one side of the first wall 11 and the second wall 12. This helps to break the laminar flow state of the airflow, increase the turbulence, and thus improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 2.

[0041] In addition, the baffle 1 adopts a plug-in design, which can be easily inserted into the internal structure of the heat exchanger body 21. This not only makes the structure of the heat exchanger 2 more compact, but also simplifies the installation process of the baffle 1 and reduces the installation cost.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 has a protrusion 14 extending outward from the baffle 1, the protrusion 14 surrounding at least a portion of the outer periphery of the inlet and / or outlet of the channel 13. Figures 1-4As shown, the spoiler 1 is provided with a protrusion 14 protruding from the first wall 11 or the second wall 12. The protrusion 14 surrounds at least part of the outer periphery of the inlet and / or outlet of the channel 13. It can be understood that the protrusion 14 is provided at the position of the channel 13 where the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 are connected. As part of the spoiler 1, the protrusion 14 can improve the structural strength of the spoiler 1 and extend the service life of the spoiler 1. It should be noted that a channel 13 typically only needs to be designed with one protrusion 14. That is, there can be multiple channels 13 on the baffle 1, and each channel 13 can be provided with one protrusion 14. The position of the protrusion 14 can be on the first wall 11 or the second wall 12. The protrusion 14 can guide the airflow into or out of the channel 13, while increasing the turbulence of the airflow when passing through the channel 13. At the same time, the protrusion 14 protrudes on the baffle 1, and the protrusion 14 can be understood as an obstacle. That is, the protrusion 14 can hinder the airflow, force the airflow to change direction, and generate vortices and turbulence at the position of the protrusion 14, thereby further improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 2.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least a partial channel 13 is formed within the protrusion 14, and an opening 15 is formed on the side of the protrusion 14 extending towards the deflector 1. The opening 15 is configured as an inlet or outlet of the channel 13. Figures 1-4 As shown, the protrusion 14 has an opening 15, and a portion of the channel 13 is formed inside the protrusion 14. The protrusion 14 extends the length of the channel 13, allowing the airflow to stay in the heat exchanger 2 for a longer period, thus enhancing the heat exchange effect. The opening 15 on the protrusion 14 can be understood as the inlet of the channel 13. When the airflow reaches the protrusion 14, the opening 15 guides the airflow into the channel 13, allowing the airflow to exchange between the first wall 11 side and the second wall 12 side, increasing the airflow turbulence and thus improving the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger 2.

[0044] In some embodiments, the opening 15 of the protrusion 14 can also be understood as the outlet of the channel 13.

[0045] According to one embodiment of the present invention, an arc-shaped transition section 141 is formed on the protrusion 14. A guide surface 142 is formed on the side of the arc-shaped transition section 141 facing the interior of the channel 13. The guide surface 142 is adapted to guide the airflow from the side of the first wall 11 to the side of the second wall 12, or to guide the airflow from the side of the second wall 12 to the side of the first wall 11. Designing an arc-shaped transition section 141 on the protrusion 14 can increase the structural strength of the protrusion 14 itself, improve the ability of the baffle 1 to resist airflow impact, and improve the durability and service life of the baffle 1. The guide surface 142 formed on the side of the arc-shaped transition section 141 facing the interior of the protrusion 14 can guide the airflow from the side of the first wall 11 to the side of the second wall 12, or to guide the airflow from the side of the second wall 12 to the side of the first wall 11, thereby realizing the mutual flow of airflow on the side of the first wall 11 and the side of the second wall 12, prolonging the time for the airflow to pass through the heat exchanger 2, and enabling efficient heat exchange between the airflow and the heat exchanger 2. The design of the guide surface 142 not only optimizes the airflow direction but also enhances the turbulence effect. When the airflow passes through the guide surface 142, it will be guided and change direction, generating more vortices and turbulence, thereby increasing the contact area and heat exchange time between the airflow and the heat exchanger 2 and improving the heat exchange performance.

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the baffles 1 are configured as multiple units stacked on top of each other. By configuring the baffles 1 as multiple units stacked on top of each other, the airflow disturbance and heat exchange area inside the heat exchanger 2 can be significantly increased. The stacking of multiple baffles 1 allows the airflow to change direction and speed multiple times as it passes through, increasing turbulence and thus improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the distance between two adjacent baffles 1 is h1, the thickness of the protrusion 14 is h2, and the condition "2≤h1 / h2≤3" is met. By setting the proportional relationship between the distance h1 between two adjacent baffles 1 and the thickness h2 of the protrusion 14, i.e., 2≤h1 / h2≤3, the distribution of airflow between the baffles 1 can be further optimized, and the stacking of multiple baffles 1 can be facilitated. The protrusions 14 of two adjacent baffles 1 at the same position can be set on the same side at the same time, or they can be set on different sides respectively. For example, if the protrusions 14 of two adjacent baffles 1 at the same position are both designed on the side of the first wall 11 or the side of the second wall 12, they will not affect each other. If the protrusions 14 of two baffles 1 at the same position are respectively set on the side closer to each other, i.e., the two protrusions 14 protrude towards each other, it will affect the stacking of the two baffles 1. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the distance between the two baffles 1 is greater than or equal to twice the thickness of the protrusion 14, i.e., h1 / h2≥2, so as to ensure that when the protrusions 14 at the same position of the two adjacent baffles 1 protrude towards each other, it will affect the stacking of the baffles 1; while h1 / h2≤3 can avoid the distance between the two baffles 1 being too far, which would lead to a deterioration in the effect of the protrusion 14 in guiding the airflow into the channel 13, and thus affect the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 2.

[0048] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the turbulence-disrupting component 1 includes a main body 101 and a comb tooth portion 102. The comb tooth portion 102 is configured as a plurality of comb tooth portions 102, which are respectively arranged at intervals on one side of the width direction of the main body 101 and extend in a direction away from the main body 101. The comb tooth portion 102 is provided with a protrusion 14 and a channel 13, and a plug groove 103 suitable for cooperating with the heat exchanger 2 is formed between two adjacent comb tooth portions 102.

[0049] like Figures 1-2As shown, the main body 101 is provided with multiple comb-tooth sections 102. Simply put, the main body 101 is connected to multiple comb-tooth sections 102, and the multiple comb-tooth sections 102 support each other, forming a skeleton-like structure that improves the overall rigidity and deformation resistance of the baffle 1. The comb-tooth sections 102 extend seemingly away from the main body 101 on one side of its width direction. Their specific length can be adapted to the actual heat exchange dimensions, offering greater flexibility. An insertion groove 103 is formed between adjacent comb-tooth sections 102. The insertion groove 103 can be inserted into the structure on the heat exchanger 2, providing high stability. Inserting the baffle 1 into the heat exchanger 2 via insertion facilitates easy assembly and disassembly. The comb tooth section 102 is provided with a protrusion 14 and a channel 13 of the baffle 1. When the baffle 1 is inserted into the heat exchanger 2, the comb tooth section 102 is located inside the heat exchanger 2. At this time, the protrusion 14 and the channel 13 on the baffle 1 are also located inside the heat exchanger 2. When the airflow enters the heat exchanger 2, the baffle 1 can turbulent the airflow inside the heat exchanger 2 and improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 2.

[0050] In some embodiments, the opening 15 of the insertion slot 103 can be flared to improve the assembly efficiency of the baffle 1.

[0051] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the protrusions 14 are configured as a plurality of protrusions spaced apart in the extending direction of the comb tooth portion 102, wherein the plurality of protrusions 14 are staggered on the comb tooth portion 102, or the plurality of protrusions 14 are arranged on the same side of the comb tooth portion 102, or the plurality of protrusions 14 are at least partially arranged on opposite sides of the comb tooth portion 102. Figures 1-4 As shown, the comb-tooth portion 102 is provided with multiple protrusions 14, each protrusion 14 corresponding to a channel 13. The arrangement of multiple protrusions 14 improves the turbulence effect of the turbulence-disrupting component 1. By optimizing the arrangement of the protrusions 14, the surface area of ​​the comb-tooth portion 102 can be utilized for heat exchange more effectively. Multiple protrusions 14 can form more complex flow channels, increasing the contact time between the airflow and the heat exchanger 2, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0052] Regarding the arrangement of the protrusions 14, multiple protrusions 14 can be arranged on the same side, that is, multiple protrusions 14 on one spoiler 1 are all on the same side, and multiple protrusions 14 are all arranged on the first wall 11 or multiple protrusions 14 are all arranged on the second wall 12; alternatively, multiple protrusions 14 can be arranged in an array, such as... Figure 3 As shown, a portion is disposed on the first wall 11, and a first portion is disposed on the second wall 12; in addition, multiple protrusions 14 can be staggered, that is, two adjacent protrusions 14 are disposed on the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 respectively; the specific design method can be determined according to the actual heat exchange requirements. The position arrangement of the protrusions 14 will affect the airflow. For example, staggered protrusions 14 will cause the airflow to change direction multiple times when passing through the turbulence member 1, which can further improve the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger 2.

[0053] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the heat exchanger body 21 includes: a flat tube 22, which is configured to be multiple flat tubes stacked in the heat exchanger 2, and multiple slots 23 open to the outside and suitable for airflow are formed between two adjacent flat tubes 22. The insertion slot 103 on the baffle 1 is suitable for insertion into the flat tube 22, and the comb tooth portion 102 of the baffle 1 is suitable for insertion into the slot 23.

[0054] The heat exchanger body 21 contains multiple stacked flat tubes 22, through which the heat exchange medium flows. The stacked design of the multiple flat tubes 22 increases the contact area between the heat exchanger 2 and the airflow, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. Between two adjacent flat tubes 22, there is an open slot 23 suitable for airflow. During assembly, the comb-like portion 102 of the flow-deflecting element 1 can be inserted into the slot 23. At this time, the flat tubes 22 can be engaged in the insertion grooves 103 between two adjacent comb-like portions 102, improving the assembly stability of the flow-deflecting element 1. When the airflow passes through the comb-like portion 102, it is guided by the protrusions 14 and the channels 13, causing the airflow direction to change multiple times in the extension direction of the comb-like portion 102. This allows for more time for heat exchange with the flat tubes 22, improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 2.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the heat exchanger body 21 is constructed as a plurality of spaced-apart components arranged in a first direction, and each heat exchanger body 21 has a plurality of flow-deflecting elements 1 inserted therein, wherein the opening 15 of the protrusion 14 on the flow-deflecting element 1 is oriented opposite to the airflow direction. Figure 5 As shown, the heat exchanger body 21 can be constructed as multiple units arranged at intervals, and multiple flow-turbating elements 1 can be inserted into each heat exchanger body 21 to further improve heat exchange efficiency. When the airflow passes through the heat exchanger 2, the design of the opening 15 of the protrusion 14 facing the opposite direction to the airflow direction allows the airflow to directly impact the opening 15 on the protrusion 14. At this time, the protrusion 14 and the channel 13 can more effectively guide the airflow and change the direction of the airflow, thereby increasing the turbulence of the airflow. This allows the airflow to more fully exchange heat with the flat tube 22 inside the heat exchanger body 21, improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the flat tube 22 is constructed as a serpentine tube. Compared with the conventionally stacked flat tube 22, the heat exchanger body 21 of the present invention can also be provided with a serpentine tube instead of the stacked flat tube 22. The serpentine tube has one outlet and one inlet. When the cooling medium is flowing, the cooling medium can enter the serpentine tube from the inlet and flow through the serpentine tube. There is no need to set up an additional confluence structure, which can simplify the structural assembly of the overall heat exchanger body 21.

[0057] In some embodiments, when multiple heat exchanger bodies 21 are constructed, the baffle 1 on the heat exchanger body 21 that is first impacted by the airflow needs to be inserted in the forward direction. Forward insertion can be understood as the direction of the opening 15 of the protrusion 14 on the heat exchanger 2 being opposite to the direction of the airflow, ensuring that the protrusion 14 can guide the airflow into the channel 13 to improve the baffle effect of the baffle 1. The baffles 1 on the heads of heat exchangers 2 at other locations can be inserted in either the forward or reverse direction depending on the actual situation.

[0058] In this invention, the heat exchanger 2 can be a condenser or other types of heat exchange structures.

[0059] The following is a brief description of the garment processing equipment according to this utility model.

[0060] The clothing processing device according to the present invention includes the heat exchanger 2 in the above embodiments. Since the clothing processing device according to the present invention is equipped with the heat exchanger 2 in the above embodiments, the clothing processing device can enhance airflow disturbance and improve heat exchange efficiency through the channel 13 design on the turbulence member 1, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the clothing processing device and reducing energy consumption.

[0061] In some embodiments, the garment handling equipment may be a dryer.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the width direction of the main body 101 is parallel to the first direction.

[0063] In summary, the heat exchanger 2 of this utility model is provided with a heat exchanger body 21 and a baffle 1. The baffle 1 defines a first wall 11 and a second wall 12. The first wall 11 and the second wall 12 can be provided with protrusions 14 respectively. Each protrusion 14 corresponds to a channel 13. The channel 13 connects the first wall 11 and the second wall 12. The protrusion 14 surrounds at least part of the outer periphery of the channel 13. It can also be understood that a part of the channel 13 is a hole penetrating the baffle 1, and the protrusion 14 is provided around the hole. This can increase the structural strength of the baffle 1. At the same time, the protrusion 14 can also block the airflow to a certain extent and change the direction and speed of the airflow, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 2. A portion of the channel 13 is formed inside the protrusion 14. The protrusion 14 and the hole on the baffle 1 cooperate to form a complete channel 13. The airflow on both sides of the baffle 1, i.e., one side of the first wall 11 and the other side of the second wall 12, can flow to the other side through the corresponding channel 13. The protrusion 14 is provided with an opening 15, which is connected to the channel 13 and is open in the direction of extension of the baffle 1 (after the baffle 1 is assembled, the opening 15 is opposite to the airflow direction). The airflow can enter the channel 13 through the opening 15. An arc-shaped transition section 141 is formed on the protrusion 14. The arc-shaped transition section 141 can optimize the shape of the protrusion 14 and improve the structural strength of the protrusion 14 itself. At the same time, a guide surface 142 is formed on the inner side of the arc-shaped transition section 141 (i.e., the side facing the channel 13). The guide surface 142 can guide the airflow, so that the airflow flows from one side of the baffle 1 to the other side. When the turbulence-inducing element 1 is inserted into the heat exchanger 2, the airflow flows into the heat exchanger 2. At this time, the airflow on both sides of the turbulence-inducing element 1 can change direction multiple times under the guidance of the channel 13 and flow between the first wall 11 side and the second wall 12 side. This can break the laminar flow state of the airflow, increase the turbulence, and thus improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 2. Each turbulence-inducing element 1 is provided with a main body 101 and multiple teeth. Each tooth is provided with multiple protrusions 14 and multiple channels 13. The main body 101 is connected to the multiple teeth, which improves the structural strength of the guide element. The design of multiple teeth enhances the turbulence-inducing effect of the turbulence-inducing element 1. When used in conjunction with heat exchanger 2, multiple heat exchanger bodies 21 can be arranged in a first direction within a heat exchanger 2. Each heat exchanger body 21 has multiple stacked flat tubes 22, and slots 23 are formed between the flat tubes 22. Each slot 23 can accommodate multiple stacked baffles 1 teeth at the same position, that is, there are multiple stacked teeth in a slot 23. Each tooth can have multiple spaced or staggered protrusions 14, which further improves the turbulence of the airflow at the slot 23 position, prolongs the heat exchange time between the airflow and the flat tubes 22, and thus improves the heat exchange efficiency of heat exchanger 2.
