[0047] As shown in FIGS. 1-5, the present embodiment provides a heat exchanger fin, which can improve the heat exchange efficiency of the plate heat exchanger. The heat exchanger fin comprises a fin body 1, a plurality of flow channel grooves 11 are arranged on the first side and the second side of the fin body 1, the flow channel grooves 11 on the first side and the flow channel grooves 11 on the second side are not communicated with each other, a plurality of flow disturbing structures 13 are arranged in each flow channel groove 11 along the extension direction of the flow channel groove 11, the flow disturbing structures 13 can make the medium flowing through the flow channel groove 11 in a turbulent manner, and the first side and the second side are opposite sides of the fin body 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the first side and the second side are the upper and lower sides of the fin body 1, respectively.

[0048] The heat exchanger fin provided by the embodiment is characterized in that flow channel grooves 11 are arranged on the first side and the second side of the fin body 1, and the flow channel grooves 11 on the first side and the second side are not communicated with each other, so that the two sides of the heat exchanger fin can form independent heat exchange channels (as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9) between the two sides and the partition plate 40. After the cold medium is introduced into the plate heat exchanger, the cold medium can be distributed into the multiple independent flow channel grooves 11 on the two sides of the fin body 1, and the cold medium on the two sides does not flow together, so that the cold medium on the two sides of the fin body 1 can exchange heat with the hot medium, and the cold medium is prevented from being deposited on one side of the heat exchange fin, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger. The multiple turbulence structures 13 arranged in the flow channel grooves 11 can make the cold medium flowing in the flow channel grooves 11 in a turbulent manner, that is, the turbulence structures 13 can change the boundary layer distribution of the fluid in the flow channel grooves 11, reduce the laminar boundary layer, make the cold medium turbulent, and accelerate the heat exchange efficiency of the cold and hot medium, thereby further improving the heat exchange efficiency of the plate heat exchanger.

[0049] Optionally, referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, the first side and the second side of the fin body 1 are convexly provided with flow channel convexes 12, the flow channel convexes 12 on the first side of the fin body 1 form flow channel grooves 11 on the second side of the fin body 1, and the flow channel convexes 12 on the second side of the fin body 1 form flow channel grooves 11 on the first side of the fin body 1; the multiple flow channel grooves 11 and the multiple flow channel convexes 12 on the first side of the fin body 1 are arranged in alternation, and the multiple flow channel grooves 11 and the multiple flow channel convexes 12 on the second side of the fin body 1 are arranged in alternation. That is, the fin body 1 is in a concave-convex plate structure, the heat exchanger fin can be integrally formed by stamping, the processing mode is simple, the processing cost can be reduced, and the thickness of the fin body 1 can be thin to ensure the heat exchange effect.

[0050] Optionally, referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the flow channel grooves 11 extend in a serpentine shape, and each wave crest and / or wave trough of the flow channel grooves 11 is provided with a turbulence structure 13. The serpentine flow channel grooves 11 can change the flow direction of the medium, make the medium turbulent in the flow channel grooves 11, accelerate the heat circulation speed between the cold medium and the hot medium, and improve the heat exchange efficiency. Meanwhile, the curved flow channel grooves 11 can prolong the flow channel length, increase the heat exchange time, and improve the heat exchange effect.

[0051] In the embodiment, referring to FIGS. 2 and 5, the wave crest and the wave trough of each flow channel groove 11 are provided with a turbulence structure 13, which can make the medium turbulent at the curved part of the flow channel groove 11, further strengthen the turbulent effect of the medium flow, and improve the heat exchange efficiency of the plate heat exchanger. In other embodiments, the turbulence structure 13 can be arranged only at the wave crest or the wave trough of the flow channel, as long as the heat exchange requirement can be met.

[0052] In some alternative embodiments, the flow channel groove 11 can also be bent in a zigzag shape, and the flow channel groove 11 is provided with the turbulence structure 13 at each turning point. The bent flow channel groove 11 can also change the flow direction of the medium, and the medium forms a turbulent flow in the flow channel groove 11, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. The turbulence structure 13 at the turning point can further strengthen the turbulent flow effect of the medium flow, and prevent the cold medium from depositing at the turning point, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0053] Of course, the flow channel groove 11 can also be a straight flow channel groove, and a plurality of turbulence structures 13 are arranged at intervals in the straight flow channel groove. When passing through the plurality of turbulence structures 13, the medium in the flow channel groove 11 is disturbed to form a turbulent flow, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0054] Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the turbulence structure 13 includes a protruding point structure protruding from the bottom wall of the flow channel groove 11. The protruding point structure can cause the medium to form a turbulent flow at the bottom wall of the flow channel groove 11, prevent the medium from depositing at the bottom wall of the flow channel groove 11, and improve the heat exchange efficiency. Exemplarily, the protruding surface of the protruding point structure is an arc surface, which can reduce the resistance to the flow of the medium generated by the protruding point structure, so that the medium has a certain flow speed, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency.

[0055] In other embodiments, the turbulence structure 13 can also be a protruding strip structure protruding from the bottom wall of the flow channel groove 11, which can be a straight protruding strip or a wavy protruding strip, as long as it has a turbulent flow effect. The structure form is not limited to the above-mentioned structure forms.

[0056] Alternatively, the protruding height of the turbulence structure 13 is not higher than the depth of the flow channel groove 11, so that the baffle plate 40 can be attached to the fin body 1 to form a heat exchange channel, and the turbulence structure 13 can also avoid generating a large resistance to the flow of the medium.

[0057] In some alternative embodiments, the turbulence structure 13 can also be a protruding portion protruding from the side wall of the flow channel groove 11, as long as it can disturb the medium and prevent the medium from depositing.

[0058] Further, the protruding height of the turbulence structure 13 is not higher than the width of the flow channel groove 11, so that the turbulence structure 13 can avoid generating a large resistance to the flow of the medium.

[0059] Optionally, referring to FIG. 1, the fin body 1 is provided with a first inlet 14 and a first outlet 15, and the flow channel groove 11 comprises a first flow channel 111, a second flow channel 112 and a third flow channel 113 which are sequentially communicated, the first flow channel 111 is communicated with the first inlet 14, and the third flow channel 113 is communicated with the first outlet 15; the second flow channel 112 is curvedly extended, and a plurality of turbulence structures 13 are arranged in the second flow channel 112 and spaced apart along the extension direction of the second flow channel 112. The second flow channel 112 is designed as a curved flow channel, and the turbulence structures 13 are arranged in the second flow channel 112, so that the middle region of the fin body 1 (the region where the plurality of second flow channels 112 are located) forms a heat exchange region, the heat exchange area is large, and the media can be fully heat exchanged. Specifically, after the media enters from the first inlet 14, the media is distributed to the plurality of second flow channels 112 through the plurality of first flow channels 111, and after the media is heat exchanged in the heat exchange region where the plurality of second flow channels 112 are located, the media is collected to the first outlet 15 through the plurality of third flow channels 113, and the heat-exchanged media is discharged from the first outlet 15.

[0060] Optionally, referring to FIG. 1, the first ends of the plurality of first flow channels 111 of the plurality of flow channel grooves 11 are distributed in the periphery of the first inlet 14 in a circumferential direction, and the second ends of the plurality of first flow channels 111 of the plurality of flow channel grooves 11 are communicated with the first ends of the plurality of second flow channels 112 in a one-to-one correspondence. The first ends of the plurality of third flow channels 113 of the plurality of flow channel grooves 11 are distributed in the periphery of the first outlet 15 in a circumferential direction, and the second ends of the plurality of third flow channels 113 of the plurality of flow channel grooves 11 are communicated with the second ends of the plurality of second flow channels 112 in a one-to-one correspondence. The plurality of first flow channels 111 can make the media quickly distributed and enter the heat exchange region to fully exchange heat, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. The plurality of second flow channels 112 can make the heat-exchanged media smoothly collected to the first outlet 15, thereby improving the media flow efficiency.

[0061] Optionally, the first flow channel 111 is a straight flow channel, a curved flow channel or a variable cross-section flow channel. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the first flow channel 111 is a variable cross-section curved flow channel, which gradually widens towards the second flow channel 112, so that the media can be quickly distributed to the plurality of second flow channels 112.

[0062] In other embodiments, the first flow channel 111 can also be designed as an equal cross-section straight flow channel or an equal cross-section curved flow channel. Alternatively, the first flow channel 111 can be designed as a variable cross-section straight flow channel.

[0063] Optionally, the third flow channel 113 is a straight flow channel, a curved flow channel or a variable cross-section flow channel. In this embodiment, the third flow channel 113 is a variable cross-section curved flow channel, which can change the flow rate of the media, so that the heat-exchanged media can be quickly collected to the first outlet 15. In other embodiments, the third flow channel 113 can also be designed as an equal cross-section straight flow channel or a curved flow channel, or a variable cross-section straight flow channel.

[0065] Optionally, referring to FIG. 6, the length of the second flow channel 112 of the plurality of flow channel grooves 11 gradually increases from the middle region of the fin body 1 to the two side edge regions. In this way, the medium entering the flow channel groove 11 from the first inlet 14 can stay at the edge region of the fin body 1 for a longer time to fully exchange heat, so that the overall heat exchange of the heat exchange fin is more uniform, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.
