Accompanying drawing below in conjunction with the embodiment of the present invention is explained and illustrated the technical scheme of the embodiment of the present invention, but following embodiment is only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, not all.Embodiment based in embodiment, those skilled in the art are other embodiment that obtains under the prerequisite of not making creative work, all belong to protection scope of the present invention.
Embodiment mono-:
With reference to Fig. 2, a kind of micro-channel heat exchanger, comprise header, flat tube 1 and fin 2, described flat tube 1 is connected on described header, and described fin 2 is arranged between adjacent flat tube 1, and header comprises header and lower header, upper header is parallel with lower header and be separated by a distance, flat tube 1 is distributed between header and lower header, and the cold-producing medium passing into is dispensed in each flat tube by header, flows into the cold-producing medium of flat tube and near air fin and carries out heat exchange.Micro-channel heat exchanger forms a bending region at the length direction B of header, and bending region can form a plurality of according to actual installation space certainly.In this bending region, include row fin 2 ', between this row fin 2 ' and an adjacent flat tube 1, by the first attaching parts 3, be connected, these first attaching parts 3 can be stretched in described micro-channel heat exchanger Forging Process.
Certainly, according to the bending angle of real exchanger, in bending region, can comprise two row, three row or multiple row fin more, but in these fins in bending region, have at least row to connect flat tubes 1 by the first attaching parts 3.
In general, the fin of heat exchanger mainly comprises a plurality of main paragraphs adjacent one another are 20 and the linkage section 21 that the end of adjacent body section 20 is connected, and linkage section 21 is generally welded on flat tube 1.The first above-mentioned attaching parts 3 are located between one of them linkage section 21 and corresponding flat tube 1.The mounting structure of the first attaching parts 3 can be divided into following two kinds of situations:
