By forming a bent radiating portion within a region, a certain distance away from the middle, of an edge of any end of the radiating fin, the radiating area of the radiating fin is increased and the mechanical strength of the radiating fin is strengthened; and when a plurality of the radiating fins are connected to each other, a combined radial and convective radiating way may be realized, and meanwhile the transverse radiation and the longitudinal radiation of the radiator are strengthened, so that a user may feel the heat more directly. Such a structure may further prevent the surface temperature of the radiator from being too high, the heat radiation of the radiator to the surrounding is more uniform, and the radiating efficiency of the radiator is improved, so that the heat radiation around and above the radiator may be balanced during the operation of the electrothermal oil heater.

(20) The area of the bent radiating portion is 10% to 80% of the total area of the main body, and preferably 40% in this embodiment. The bent radiating portion within this range may balance the transverse radiation and the longitudinal radiation of the radiator and ensure the radiating efficiency.

(21) An included angle between a plane of the upper end and a plane of the lower end is 5 to 85, and preferably 36 in this embodiment.

Terms upper end 11 and lower end 12 are not provided for defining the upper end 11 and the lower end 12 of the main body 1 and instead, for defining the position relation thereof, hence, a left end and a right end are also possible. The upper end 11 and the lower end 12 of the main body 1 are defined as being located in different vertical planes, when the bent radiating portion is located at the left end and right end of the main body 1; and the left end 11 and the right end 12 of the main body 1 are defined as being located in different vertical planes, when the bent radiating portion is located at the upper end and the lower end.
