[0033] As shown in Figures 1 to 24, an embodiment of the present application provides a heat exchanger 11, which includes a plurality of stacked heat exchange plates 12, and a fluid channel 13 is provided between adjacent heat exchange plates 12. The heat exchange plate 12 includes a first plate 121 and a second plate 122. In this embodiment, the first plate 121 and the second plate 122 are alternately arranged, and a first heat exchange channel 131 is provided between the first plate 121 and the second plate 122 adjacent on one side, and a second heat exchange channel 132 is provided between the first plate 121 and the second plate 122 adjacent on the other side. The first heat exchange channel 131 and the second heat exchange channel 132 are alternately arranged, and the first heat exchange channel 131 is not connected to the second channel. Different media flow in the first heat exchange channel 131 and the second heat exchange channel 132, and different media exchange heat through the heat exchange plate 12. In other embodiments, two first heat exchange channels 131 can be arranged continuously and then the second heat exchange channel 132 is arranged.

[0034] As shown in FIG2 , in order to enhance the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger 11 , fins 14 are provided between adjacent heat exchange plates 12 . The fins 14 contact the medium to increase the contact area between the medium and the heat exchanger 11 , thereby increasing the heat exchange effect. The fins 14 can be provided in each fluid channel 13 , as shown in FIG3 , or can be provided at intervals. As shown in FIG5 , the fins 14 include a connecting portion 15 and a heat transfer portion 16 . Along the width direction of the fin 14 , one side of the connecting portion 15 is fixedly connected to one heat transfer portion 16 , and the other side of the connecting portion 15 is fixedly connected to another heat transfer portion 16 . The connecting portion 15 includes a flat portion 152 , which facilitates contact with the heat exchange plate 12 , thereby improving the sealing between the connecting portion 15 and the heat exchange plate 12 and helping to improve the welding effect. In other embodiments, as shown in FIG12 , the connecting portion 15 may also include a bent portion 153 .

[0035] The embodiment of the present application focuses on improving the structure of the fins 14 of the heat exchanger 11, which will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] As shown in Figures 4 to 24, the fin 14 includes a connecting portion 15 and a heat transfer portion 16. The connecting portion 15 is fixedly connected to the heat transfer portion 16. The connecting portion 15 extends in the length direction of the fin 14, wherein the connecting portion 15 is used to fixedly connect adjacent heat transfer portions 16. In this embodiment, after the connecting portion 15 is fixedly connected to the adjacent heat transfer portion 16, the fin 14 is wavy, and at least part of the connecting portion 15 is fixedly connected to the heat exchange plate 12. The heat transfer portion 16 is at a certain angle to the heat exchange plate 12. The heat transfer portion 16 has a turbulent effect on the medium and is used to increase the contact area with the medium and thereby increase the heat exchange efficiency. It should be noted that, as shown in Figures 4 to 6, the connecting portion 15 extends in the length direction of the fin 14, which refers to the connecting portion. The direction from one side of the connecting portion 15 to the other side is parallel to the length direction of the fin 14. At the same time, for any part of the connecting portion 15, the direction from one end of any part of the connecting portion 15 to the other end is also parallel to the length direction of the fin 14, that is, the connecting portion 15 has two boundaries in the width direction of the fin 14, and both boundaries are straight lines extending along the length direction of the fin 14, wherein the two boundaries can be a continuous section or a discontinuous multiple sections. The heat transfer portion 16 includes a first heat transfer portion 161, and the first heat transfer portion 161 includes a first offset portion 1611 and a second offset portion 1612. The connecting portion 15 includes a first side portion 154. Along the height direction of the fin 14, the first offset portion 1611 includes a first end portion 16 111, the second biasing portion 1612 includes a second end portion 16121, the first side portion 154 is fixedly connected to the first end portion 16111, the first side portion 154 is fixedly connected to the second end portion 16121, along the width direction of the fin 14, the first biasing portion 1611 and the second biasing portion 1612 are offset in opposite directions relative to the first side portion 154, the first biasing portion 1611 and the second biasing portion 1612 are offset to cut the boundary layer of the flow of the medium, thereby enhancing the disturbance effect on the medium, thereby further enhancing the heat exchange effect, along the length direction of the fin 14, at least part of the first biasing portion 1611 and the second biasing portion 1612 are alternately arranged, for the alternating first biasing portion 1611 and the second biasing portion The first biasing portion 1611 and the second biasing portion 1612 have a first opening 1613 between them. The first opening 1613 faces the length direction of the fin 14. The medium flows along the length direction of the fin 14 through the first opening 1613. The first biasing portion 1611 is biased to one side relative to the first side 154 to form a part of the first opening 1613. The second biasing portion 1612 is biased to the other side opposite to the first side 154 to form another part of the first opening 1613. That is, the first biasing portion 1611 and the second biasing portion 1612 are biased in opposite directions relative to the first side 154. Compared with the setting of biasing in the same direction, the thickness of the fin 14 does not increase.The first offset portion 1611 and the second offset portion 1612, which are offset in opposite directions, increase the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the first opening 1613 located between the first offset portion 1611 and the second offset portion 1612. This reduces the resistance to the flow of the medium through the first opening 1613, facilitates the passage of the medium through the first opening 1613, and thereby improves the heat exchange performance between the medium and the fin 14. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 15 is continuous along the length of the fin 14, as shown in Figure 8. In other embodiments, the connecting portion 15 may also have a gap section 151.

[0037] As shown in Figures 4 to 24, in this embodiment, along the length direction of the fin 14, the first bias portion 1611 and the second bias portion 1612 are alternately arranged. Since the first bias portion 1611 and the second bias portion 1612 are alternately arranged, a first opening 1613 is formed between the first bias portion 1611 and the second bias portion 1612. When the medium flows along the length direction of the fin 14, it is disturbed by the first bias portion 1611 and the second bias portion 1612. The medium is disturbed by the first bias portion 1611, and part of the medium is located on one side of the first bias portion 1611 and continues to flow along the length direction of the fin 14, and part of the medium is located on the other side of the first bias portion 1611 and flows along the length direction of the fin 14. The medium contacts both sides of the first bias portion 1611 for heat exchange, and the medium is disturbed by the second bias portion 1612, and part of the medium is located on one side of the second bias portion 1612 and continues to flow along the length direction of the fin 14. The first biasing portion 1611 and the second biasing portion 1612 are provided with a first opening 1613 facing the length direction of the fin 14, and the medium flows from the first biasing portion 1611 to the second biasing portion 1612 through the first opening 1613, or flows from the second biasing portion 1612 to the first biasing portion 1611 through the first opening 1613. Therefore, the first biasing portion 1611 and the second biasing portion 1612 separate the medium into multiple streams, and the multiple streams of medium flow along the length direction of the fin 14, thereby enhancing the disturbance effect on the medium and the turbulence degree of the medium, thereby increasing the heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger 11. In other embodiments, part of the first biasing portion 1611 and the second biasing portion 1612 may be alternately arranged.

[0038] As shown in Figures 4 to 24, the heat transfer portion 16 includes a second heat transfer portion 162, the second heat transfer portion 162 includes a third biasing portion 1621 and a fourth biasing portion 1622, the connecting portion 15 includes a second side portion 155, along the height direction of the fin 14, the third biasing portion 1621 includes a third end portion 16211, the fourth biasing portion 1622 includes a fourth end portion 16221, the second side portion 155 is fixedly connected to the third end portion 16211, the second side portion 155 is fixedly connected to the fourth end portion 16221, along the height direction of the fin 14. 4, the third bias portion 1621 and the fourth bias portion 1622 are offset in opposite directions relative to the second side portion 155. The third bias portion 1621 and the fourth bias portion 1622 are offset to cut the boundary layer of the medium flow, enhance the disturbance effect on the medium, and further enhance the heat exchange effect. Along the length direction of the fin 14, at least part of the third bias portion 1621 and the fourth bias portion 1622 are alternately arranged. For the alternately arranged third bias portion 1621 and the fourth bias portion 1622, the third bias portion 1621 and the fourth bias portion 1622 are alternately arranged. A second opening 1623 is provided between the third biasing portion 1621 and the fourth biasing portion 1622. The second opening 1623 faces the length direction of the fin 14. The medium flows along the length direction of the fin 14 through the second opening 1623. Since the third biasing portion 1621 is biased to one side relative to the second side 155 to form a part of the second opening 1623, the fourth biasing portion 1622 is biased to the other side relative to the second side 155 to form another part of the second opening 1623, i.e., the third biasing portion 1621 is biased to the other side relative to the second side 155 to form the other part of the second opening 1623. The third and fourth offset portions 1621 and 1622 are offset in opposite directions relative to the second side portion 155. Compared with a configuration in which the offset is in the same direction, without increasing the thickness, the third and fourth offset portions 1621 and 1622, which are offset in opposite directions, increase the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the second opening 1623 located between the third and fourth offset portions 1621 and 1622. This reduces the resistance to the flow of the medium through the second opening 1623, facilitates the passage of the medium through the second opening 1623, and thereby improves the heat exchange performance between the medium and the fin 14.

[0039] As shown in Figures 6 to 24, in this embodiment, along the length direction of the fin 14, the third biasing portion 1621 and the fourth biasing portion 1622 are alternately arranged. Since the third biasing portion 1621 and the fourth biasing portion 1622 are alternately arranged, a second opening 1623 is formed between the third biasing portion 1621 and the fourth biasing portion 1622. When the medium flows along the length direction of the fin 14, it is disturbed by the third biasing portion 1621 and the fourth biasing portion 1622. The medium is disturbed by the third biasing portion 1621, and part of the medium is located on one side of the third biasing portion 1621 and continues to flow along the length direction of the fin 14, and part of the medium is located on the other side of the fourth biasing portion 1622 and flows along the length direction of the fin 14. The medium contacts both sides of the third biasing portion 1621 for heat exchange, and the medium is disturbed by the fourth biasing portion 1622, and part of the medium is located on one side of the fourth biasing portion 1622 and continues to flow along the length direction of the fin 14. The medium flows in the direction of the degree, and part of the medium is located on the other side of the fourth offset portion 1622 and flows along the length direction of the fin 14. The medium contacts both sides of the fourth offset portion 1622 for heat exchange, and a second opening 1623 facing the length direction of the fin 14 is provided between the third offset portion 1621 and the fourth offset portion 1622. The medium flows from the third offset portion to the fourth offset portion 1622 through the second opening 1623, or flows from the fourth offset portion 1622 to the third offset portion 1621 through the second opening 1623. Therefore, the third offset portion 1621 and the fourth offset portion 1622 separate the medium into multiple streams, and the multiple streams of medium flow along the length direction of the fin 14, thereby enhancing the disturbance effect on the medium and the turbulence degree of the medium, thereby enhancing the heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger 11. In other embodiments, part of the third offset portion 1621 and the fourth offset portion 1622 may be alternately arranged.

[0040] As shown in Figures 4 to 24, along the width direction of the fin 14, the first heat transfer portion 161 and the second heat transfer portion 162 are alternately arranged, defining a first surface perpendicular to the width direction of the fin 14, the orthographic projection of the first bias portion 1611 on the first surface coincides with the orthographic projection of the third bias portion 1621 on the first surface, and the medium flows in the area between the first bias portion 1611 and the third bias portion 1621, the orthographic projection of the second bias portion 1612 on the first surface coincides with the orthographic projection of the fourth bias portion 1622 on the first surface, and the medium flows in the area between the second bias portion 1612 and the fourth bias portion 1622. Along the width direction of the fin 14, the first bias portion 1611 and the third bias portion 1621 coincide with each other. The bias direction of the first bias portion 1611 relative to the first side portion 154 is the same as the bias direction of the third bias portion 1621 relative to the second side portion 155. When the medium flows in the area between the first bias portion 1611 and the third bias portion 1621, since the bias directions of the first bias portion 1611 and the third bias portion 1621 are the same, the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the flow area between the first bias portion 1611 and the third bias portion 1621 will not be too small. The bias direction of the second bias portion 1612 relative to the first side portion 154 is the same as the bias direction of the fourth bias portion 1622 relative to the second side portion 155. The medium flows in the area between the second bias portion 1611 and the third bias portion 1621. When the medium flows in the area between the second biasing portion 1612 and the fourth biasing portion 1622, since the biasing directions of the second biasing portion 1612 and the fourth biasing portion 1622 are the same, the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the flow area between the second biasing portion 1612 and the fourth biasing portion 1622 will not be too small, thereby reducing the resistance encountered by the medium during flow. In this embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first biasing portion 1611 on the first surface coincides with the orthographic projection of the third biasing portion 1621 on the first surface, and the orthographic projection of the second biasing portion 1612 on the first surface coincides with the orthographic projection of the fourth biasing portion 1622 on the first surface, that is, they are located in the same plane perpendicular to the length direction of the fin 14. The first biasing portion 1611 and the third biasing portion 1621 protrude in the same direction, and the second biasing portion 1612 and the fourth biasing portion 1622 protrude in the same direction, thereby reducing the change in flow resistance of the medium flowing between the adjacent first heat transfer portion 161 and the second heat transfer portion 162, and improving the flow resistance stability between the first heat transfer portion 161 and the second heat transfer portion 162. In other embodiments, the orthographic projection of the first biasing portion 1611 on the first surface may partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the third biasing portion 1621 on the first surface, and the orthographic projection of the second biasing portion 1612 on the first surface may partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the fourth biasing portion 1622 on the first surface.

[0041] As shown in Figures 6, 11 and 13, further, along the length direction of the fin 14, the first offset portion 1611 and the second offset portion 1612 have the same length, and the third offset portion 1621 and the fourth offset portion 1622 have the same length, thereby improving the consistency of the fin 14, increasing the stability of the fluid pressure drop, and controlling the ratio of the flow areas on both sides of the first heat transfer portion 161 and the second heat transfer portion 162.

[0042] As shown in Figures 4 to 16, in this embodiment, the first heat transfer portion 161 includes a first base portion 1614, which is continuous along the length direction of the fin 14, a first biasing portion 1611 fixedly connected to the first base portion 1614, and a second biasing portion 1612 fixedly connected to the first base portion 1614. Since the first biasing portion 1611 and the second biasing portion 1612 are both fixedly connected to the first base portion 1614, the strength of the first heat transfer portion 161 is enhanced. The second heat transfer portion 162 includes a second base portion 1624, which is continuous along the length direction of the fin 14, a third biasing portion 1621 fixedly connected to the second base portion 1624, and a fourth biasing portion 1622 fixedly connected to the second base portion 1624. Since the third biasing portion 1621 and the fourth biasing portion 1622 are both fixedly connected to the first biasing portion 1624, the first biasing portion 1621 and the fourth biasing portion 1622 are fixedly connected to the first biasing portion 1624. The two bases 1624 are fixedly connected to strengthen the strength of the second heat transfer portion 162. In other embodiments, only the first heat transfer portion 161 may include the first base 1614, the first base 1614 is continuous along the length direction of the fin 14, the first biasing portion 1611 is fixedly connected to the first base 1614, and the second biasing portion 1612 is fixedly connected to the first base 1614. Alternatively, only the second heat transfer portion 162 includes the second base 1624, the second base 1624 is continuous along the length direction of the fin 14, the third biasing portion 1621 is fixedly connected to the second base 1624, and the fourth biasing portion 1622 is fixedly connected to the second base 1624. Since both the third biasing portion 1621 and the fourth biasing portion 1622 are fixedly connected to the second base 1624, the strength of the second heat transfer portion 162 is strengthened.

[0043] As shown in Figures 5, 13, and 14, the fin 14 has a first channel 17 that is continuous in the length direction of the fin 14. The medium flows in the first channel 17. A first channel 17 is provided between the first heat transfer portion 161 and the second heat transfer portion 162 that are fixedly connected to the same connecting portion 15. The first biasing portion 1611 and the fourth biasing portion 1622 are located in the same first channel 17. The first biasing portion 1611, the second biasing portion 1612, the third biasing portion 1621, and the fourth biasing portion 1622 all include a first section 181 and a second section 182. The first biasing portion 1611 includes a fifth end portion 16112, and the fourth biasing portion 1622 includes a sixth end portion 16222. Along the height direction of the fin 14, the first end portion 1611 is located at a position 1611a and a position 1611b. 111 and the fourth end 16221 are located on one side of the first channel 17, and the fifth end 16112 and the sixth end 16222 are located on the other side of the first channel 17. The distance between the first end 16111 and the fourth end 16221 is smaller than the distance between the fifth end 16112 and the sixth end 16222. Therefore, the width of the first channel 17 between the first end 16111 and the fourth end 16221 is smaller than the width of the first channel 17 between the fifth end 16112 and the sixth end 16222. Therefore, the width of the first channel 17 in the height direction of the fin 14 is uneven, and more medium flows through the first channel 17 between the fifth end 16112 and the sixth end 16222, which has a larger width. The uniformity of the medium flow, thereby affecting the heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger 11, the first section 181 of the first offset portion 1611 is closer to the first end 16111 than the second section 182 of the first offset portion 1611. Along the width direction of the fin 14, the second section 182 of the first offset portion 1611 is farther from the offset distance of the first section 181 of the first offset portion 1611 relative to the first side 154. The first section 181 of the fourth offset portion 1622 is closer to the fourth end 16221 than the second section 182 of the fourth offset portion 1622. Along the width direction of the fin 14, the second section 182 of the fourth offset portion 1622 is farther from the offset distance of the first section 181 of the fourth offset portion 1622 relative to the second side 155. Since the width of the first channel 17 is different in the height direction of the fin 14, the second section 182 is offset farther than the first section 181, thereby compensating for the width of the first channel 17 and making the width of the first channel 17 tend to be consistent along the height direction of the fin 14, thereby making the flow of the medium more uniform in the first channel 17. In this embodiment, the second sections 182 of the first offset portion 1611 and the fourth offset portion 1622 are both offset farther than the first section 181. In other embodiments, only the second section 182 of the first offset portion 1611 may be offset farther than the first section 181, or only the second section 182 of the fourth offset portion 1622 may be offset farther than the first section 181.

[0044] As shown in Figures 5, 13, and 14, the second biasing portion 1612 and the third biasing portion 1621 are located in the same first channel 17. The second biasing portion 1612 includes a seventh end portion 16122, and the third biasing portion 1621 includes an eighth end portion 16212. Along the height direction of the fin 14, the second end portion 16121 and the third end portion 16211 are located on one side of the first channel 17, and the seventh end portion 16122 and the eighth end portion 16212 are located on the other side of the first channel 17. The distance between the second end portion 16121 and the third end portion 16211 is smaller than the distance between the seventh end portion 16122 and the eighth end portion 16212. Therefore, the width of the first channel 17 between the second end 16121 and the third end 16211 is smaller than the width of the first channel 17 between the seventh end 16122 and the eighth end 16212. Therefore, the width of the first channel 17 in the height direction of the fin 14 is uneven, and more medium flows through the first channel 17 between the seventh end 16122 and the eighth end 16212, which has a larger width. This affects the uniformity of the medium flow and thus affects the heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger 11. The first section 181 of the second offset portion 1612 is closer to the second end 16121 than the second section 182 of the second offset portion 1612. Along the width direction of the fin 14, the second section 182 of the second offset portion 1612 is offset farther from the first side portion 154 than the first section 181 of the second offset portion 1612. The first section 181 of the third offset portion 1621 is closer to the third end portion 16211 than the second section 182 of the third offset portion 1621. Along the width direction of the fin 14, the second section 182 of the third offset portion 1621 is offset farther from the second side portion 155 than the first section 181 of the third offset portion 1621. Since the width of the first channel 17 is different in the height direction of the fin 14, the second end portion 1612 1 is further from the offset distance of the first end portion 16111, thereby compensating for the width of the first channel 17 and making the width of the first channel 17 tend to be consistent along the height direction of the fin 14, thereby making the flow of the medium more uniform in the first channel 17. In this embodiment, the second section 182 of the second offset portion 1612 and the third offset portion 1621 are both further from the offset distance of the first section 181. In other embodiments, only the second section 182 of the second offset portion 1612 may be further from the offset distance of the first section 181, or only the second section 182 of the third offset portion 1621 may be further from the offset distance of the first section 181.

[0045] As shown in Figures 17 to 24, the first biasing portion 1611 includes a first convex portion 16113 and a first face portion 16114. Along the width direction of the fin 14, the first convex portion 16113 protrudes from the first face portion 16114. The second biasing portion 1612 includes a second convex portion 16123 and a second face portion 16124. Along the width direction of the fin 14, the second convex portion 16123 protrudes from the second face portion 16124. The third biasing portion 1621 includes a third convex portion 16213 and a third face portion 16214. Along the width direction of the fin 14, the third convex portion 16213 protrudes from the third face portion 16214. The fourth biasing portion 1622 includes a fourth convex portion 16123. 223 and the fourth surface portion 16224, along the width direction of the fin 14, the fourth protrusion 16223 protrudes from the fourth surface portion 16224. Since along the width direction of the fin 14, the first protrusion 16113 protrudes from the first surface portion 16114, the second protrusion 16123 protrudes from the second surface portion 16124, the third protrusion 16213 protrudes from the third surface portion 16214, and the fourth protrusion 16223 protrudes from the fourth surface portion 16224, the first protrusion 16113, the second protrusion 16123, the third protrusion 16213, and the fourth protrusion 16223 are located in the flow channel, increasing the contact area with the medium, increasing the heat exchange area between the medium and the fin 14, and thereby improving the heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger 11.

[0046] As shown in Figures 17 to 24, a plurality of heat transfer portions 16 are arranged along the width direction of the fin 14, and a flow path is formed between the heat transfer portions 16. The first offset portion 1611, the second offset portion 1612, the third offset portion 1621, and the fourth offset portion 1622 are offsetly arranged in the flow path, dividing the flow path into a first flow channel 171 and a second flow channel 172, and the first flow channel 171 and the second flow channel 172 are alternately arranged, wherein the first offset portion 1611 and the second offset portion 1612 form a first flow channel 171 along the length direction of the fin 14, and the third offset portion 1621 and the fourth offset portion 1622 form a first flow channel 171 along the length direction of the fin 14. 21 and the fourth offset portion 1622 also form the first flow channel 171 along the length direction of the fin 14. Along the width direction of the fin 14, the adjacent first offset portion 1611 and the fourth offset portion 1622 form the second flow channel 172 along the length direction of the fin 14. The adjacent second offset portion 1612 and the third offset portion 1621 also form the second flow channel 172 along the length direction of the fin 14. The first offset portion 1611, the second offset portion 1612, the third offset portion 1621, and the offset and alternatingly arranged The fourth offset portion 1622 separates the medium into multiple streams, and the multiple streams of medium flow along the length direction of the fin 14, thereby enhancing the disturbance effect on the medium and the degree of turbulence of the medium, thereby enhancing the heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger 11. Furthermore, along the direction in which the first offset portion 1611 is offset relative to the first side portion 154, the first protrusion 16113 protrudes from the first base 1614, the second protrusion 16123 protrudes from the second base 1624, the fourth protrusion 16223 protrudes from the fourth base, and the third protrusion 16213 protrudes from the third base. That is, in the width direction of the fin 14, the protruding directions of the first protrusion 16113, the second protrusion 16123, the third protrusion 16213 and the fourth protrusion 16223 are the same, as shown in Figures 20 to 24. For any one of the first flow channel 171 and the second flow channel 172, at the same height of any cross section along the length direction of the fin 14, there is only one of the first protrusion 16113, the second protrusion 16123, the third protrusion 16213 and the fourth protrusion 16223, thereby reducing the probability that the flow channel is too narrow due to too many protrusions, thereby reducing the heat exchange performance.

[0047] As shown in Figures 20 to 24, in this embodiment, the second protrusion 16123 includes a first sub-protrusion 16125 and a second sub-protrusion 16126. Along the width direction of the fin 14, the first sub-protrusion 16125 and the second sub-protrusion 16126 have the same protruding direction relative to the second face portion 16124. The first protrusion 16113 includes a third sub-protrusion 16115 and a fourth sub-protrusion 16116. Along the width direction of the fin 14, the third sub-protrusion 16115 and the fourth sub-protrusion 16116 are aligned. The first surface portion 16114 protrudes in the same direction, the third convex portion 16213 includes a fifth sub-convex portion 16215 and a sixth sub-convex portion 16216. Along the width direction of the fin 14, the fifth sub-convex portion 16215 and the sixth sub-convex portion 16216 protrude in the same direction relative to the third surface portion 16214. The fourth convex portion 16223 includes a seventh sub-convex portion 16225 and an eighth sub-convex portion 16226. Along the width direction of the fin 14, the seventh sub-convex portion 16225 and the eighth sub-convex portion 16226 are protruding in the same direction relative to the third surface portion 16214. 226 protrudes in the same direction relative to the fourth face portion 16224. In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 23 , the first sub-protrusion 16125 and the second sub-protrusion 16126 may protrude in opposite directions relative to the second face portion 16124, the third sub-protrusion 16115 and the fourth sub-protrusion 16116 may protrude in opposite directions relative to the first face portion 16114, the fifth sub-protrusion 16215 and the sixth sub-protrusion 16216 may protrude in opposite directions relative to the third face portion 16214, and the The seventh sub-protrusion 16225 and the eighth sub-protrusion 16226 protrude in opposite directions relative to the fourth surface portion 16224. In this embodiment, the first protrusion 16113, the second protrusion 16123, the third protrusion 16213, and the fourth protrusion 16223 each include two sub-protrusions. In other embodiments, the first protrusion 16113, the second protrusion 16123, the third protrusion 16213, and the fourth protrusion 16223 may also include multiple sub-protrusions to increase the flow disturbance effect on the medium, enhance the turbulence level of the medium, and thereby enhance the heat exchange performance.

[0048] As shown in Figures 17 to 24, a first surface is defined as being perpendicular to the width direction of the fin 14, the second heat transfer portion 162 and the first heat transfer portion 161 are alternately arranged along the width direction of the fin 14, the third offset portion 1621 coincides with the orthographic projection of the first offset portion 1611 on the first surface, the third convex portion 16213 and the orthographic projection of the first convex portion 16113 on the first surface are at least partially offset, and the orthographic projection of the third convex portion 16213 and the first convex portion 16113 on the first surface are partially offset. Compared with the arrangement in which the third convex portion 16213 coincides with the first convex portion 16113, due to the staggered arrangement of the third convex portion 16213 and the first convex portion 16113, the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel is more uniform, the medium flows more uniformly in the flow channel, and the heat exchange performance is enhanced. As shown in Figures 17 to 24, the fourth offset portion 16213 coincides with the orthographic projection of the first convex portion 16113 on the first surface. The positioning portion 1622 coincides with the orthographic projection of the second biasing portion 1612 on the first surface, the fourth convex portion 16223 and the orthographic projection of the second convex portion 16123 on the first surface are at least partially offset, and the fourth convex portion 16223 and the orthographic projection of the second convex portion 16123 on the first surface are partially offset. Compared with the arrangement in which the fourth convex portion 16223 coincides with the second convex portion 16123, due to the offset arrangement of the fourth convex portion 16223 and the second convex portion 16123, the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel is more uniform, the medium flows more uniformly in the flow channel, and the heat exchange performance is enhanced. In other embodiments, only the third convex portion 16213 and the orthographic projection of the first convex portion 16113 on the first surface may be at least partially offset, or only the fourth convex portion 16223 and the orthographic projection of the second convex portion 16123 on the first surface may be at least partially offset.

[0049] As shown in Figures 17 to 24, a first flow channel 171 is formed between the first offset portion 1611 and the second offset portion 1612 along the length direction of the fin 14, and the first flow channel 171 is also formed between the third offset portion 1621 and the fourth offset portion 1622 along the length direction of the fin 14.

The second flow channel 172 is also formed between the three offset portions 1621 along the length direction of the fin 14. Along the width direction of the fin 14, the first flow channel 171 and the second flow channel 172 are alternately arranged. The ratio of the flow area of ​​the first flow channel 171 to the second flow channel 172 is 0.6-1.5. The flow area ratio of the first flow channel 171 to the second flow channel 172 is controlled to be 0.6-1.5, thereby controlling the medium flow ratio through the first flow channel 171 and the second flow channel 172, reducing the difference in flow between the first flow channel 171 and the second flow channel 172, and thereby improving the heat exchange performance.

[0050] Furthermore, the ratio of the flow area of ​​the first flow channel 171 to the second flow channel 172 is 0.8-1.3, which further controls the medium flow ratio through the first flow channel 171 and the second flow channel 172, reduces the difference in flow between the first flow channel 171 and the second flow channel 172, and thereby improves the heat exchange performance.
