[0002] Ground source heat pumps, as a highly efficient and energy-saving heating and cooling system, require a stable water supply during operation. Currently, ground source heat pump systems mostly rely on municipal water supply or groundwater for makeup water, which not only increases operating costs but may also lead to water shortages. Rainwater, as a renewable water resource, has abundant reserves and low treatment costs. Effectively recycling and utilizing rainwater for ground source heat pump makeup water can significantly improve water resource utilization and reduce energy consumption.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.
[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a ground source heat pump water supply device includes a water storage tank 1, a water storage tank 2, and a water pump 3. Both the water storage tank 1 and the water storage tank 2 are connected to the water pump 3 through a water pipe 4. At this time, by starting the water pump 3, water inside the water storage tank 1 can be input into the water storage tank 2. The water storage tank 2 is connected to the ground source heat pump system and can supply water to the ground source heat pump system.
[0022] Meanwhile, the water storage tank 2 can be equipped with a water level monitoring system that is electrically connected to the water pump 3, so that the water pump 3 can be automatically started when the water level is low to pump water into the water storage tank 2.
[0023] The above-mentioned parts are mature existing technologies, and will not be described in detail in this technical solution.
[0024] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the core of this technical solution lies in the improvement of the water inlet of the water storage tank 1. Specifically, the upper side of the water storage tank 1 is set with an opening, so that rainwater can fall directly into the interior of the water storage tank 1. Side plates 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper side of the water storage tank 1. Two rotating shafts 6 are rotatably connected between the two side plates 5. A flexible filter ring 7 located on the upper side of the water storage tank 1 is connected to the outer side of the two rotating shafts 6. At this time, the flexible filter ring 7 can filter debris such as leaves, paper scraps, plastic bags, etc. falling on the upper side of the water storage tank 1. A filter screen 12 is fixedly connected inside the water storage tank 1. The filter screen 12 can perform secondary filtration of impurities entering the interior of the water storage tank 1.
[0025] The flexible filter ring 7 can be a filter made of woven metal wire, or it can be a synthetic fiber filter (such as nylon) or a plastic filter.
[0026] The water storage tank 1 is also equipped with a rotary drive assembly, which is connected to one of the rotating shafts 6 to drive the rotating shaft 6 to rotate. This causes the flexible filter ring 7 to move on the outside of the two rotating shafts 6. When the flexible filter ring 7 moves, it can also move the debris on the upper side of the flexible filter ring 7. When the debris moves to one end of the flexible filter ring 7, the debris will fall automatically under the action of gravity, thereby effectively reducing the debris accumulated at the water inlet of the water storage tank 1, reducing the obstruction of the water inlet of the water storage tank 1 by the debris, ensuring the water intake effect of the water storage tank 1, and thus effectively recovering rainwater to replenish the ground source heat pump.
[0027] The rotary drive group can be an electric drive group, such as a drive motor fixedly connected to the outside of the side plate 5. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the rotating shaft 6. By starting the drive motor, the rotating shaft 6 can be driven to perform automatic operation.
[0028] Here, the drive motor can be powered by connecting to municipal power via electrical wires or by solar panels.
[0029] The drive motor is electrically connected to a controller, which can store the set drive program and drive the drive motor to start after a set time interval.
[0030] The controller can also be connected to a control host located inside the control room, allowing remote control of the drive motor via the control host.
[0031] Rotary drive units can also be wind-driven units, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the rotary drive assembly includes a large fan blade 8 that is connected to the rotating shaft 6. When the wind blows the large fan blade 8, it can drive the rotating shaft 6 to rotate. The large fan blade 8 can automatically drive the flexible filter ring 7 to move using the wind, thereby reducing the need for power supply and control equipment, and lowering production costs and energy consumption.
[0032] Specifically, a rotating rod 9 is rotatably connected to one side of the side plate 5, and a large fan blade 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 9. A first meshing gear 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 9, and a second meshing gear 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 6. The first meshing gear 10 and the second meshing gear 11 are meshed together, and the number of teeth of the second meshing gear 11 is greater than the number of teeth of the first meshing gear 10. Thus, by setting the gear ratio of the first meshing gear 10 and the second meshing gear 11, the wind power requirement when driving the rotating shaft 6 to rotate can be reduced.
[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to reduce the phenomenon of debris entering the water storage tank 1 from the flexible filter ring 7, a support plate 13 located below the flexible filter ring 7 is fixedly connected to the front side of the water storage tank 1. A cleaning part 14 adapted to the flexible filter ring 7 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the support plate 13. The cleaning part 14 can be a sponge or a brush. When the flexible filter ring 7 moves, the debris remaining on the flexible filter ring 7 can be cleaned through the cleaning part 14.
[0034] like Figures 2-4As shown, in order to further reduce the phenomenon of debris entering the water storage tank 1 from the flexible filter ring 7, an air duct 15 located inside the flexible filter ring 7 can be fixedly connected between the two side plates 5. The air duct 15 is located on the front side of the water storage tank 1, and an air outlet slot 16 is opened on the lower side of the air duct 15. A wind input device is fixedly connected to the air duct 15. The wind input device is connected to the air duct 15. The wind input device inputs wind into the interior of the air duct 15 and then outputs it through the air outlet slot 16. The wind can clean the debris remaining on the flexible filter ring 7.
[0035] The air input device can be an air pump or fan fixedly connected to the side plate 5, which can input air into the air duct 15.
[0036] Similarly, air pumps or fans can be powered by connecting to municipal electricity via electrical wires or by solar panels.
[0037] The air pump or fan is electrically connected to another controller, which can store the set drive program and drive the air pump or fan to start after a set time interval.
[0038] The wind input device can also be a power recovery device. For example, the wind input device includes a sealing cover 17 fixedly connected to the side plate 5. The sealing cover 17 has an air inlet, and a filter screen is fixedly connected inside the air inlet to filter the incoming air. A shaft is rotatably connected to the sealing cover 17. One end of the shaft is fixedly connected to a third gear 20 that meshes with the second gear 11. The other end of the shaft is fixedly connected to a small fan blade 18 located inside the sealing cover 17. The small fan blade 18 and the air duct 15 are connected through a flexible air guide hose 19. When the second gear 11 rotates, it will drive the small fan blade 18 to rotate through the third gear 20. When the small fan blade 18 rotates, it will blow the wind into the air duct 15 through the flexible air guide hose 19, thereby converting the wind blowing towards the large fan blade 8 into the wind blowing towards the flexible filter ring 7, and using the wind power to clean the debris on the flexible filter ring 7.
[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
