[0016] Such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, a composite sanitary hot water system includes a solar collector 1, a hot water collecting tank 2, a hot water storage tank 3, and a constant temperature water tank 4. The solar collector 1 and the hot water collecting tank 2 are connected through a first pipeline 5 and a second pipeline 6 to form a closed loop. A solar circulating water pump 7 is provided on the second pipeline 6. The hot water collecting tank 2 and the hot water storage tank 3 are connected through a third pipeline 8. A fourth pipeline 9 connected to the constant temperature water tank 4 is connected in parallel on the third pipeline 8. The constant temperature water tank 9 and the heat pump 10 are connected through a fifth pipeline 12 provided with a screw machine circulating water pump 11. The hot water storage tank 3 and the heat pump 10 are connected through a sixth pipeline 13. The hot water storage tank 3 and the constant temperature water tank 4 are communicated through a communicating pipeline 14. The constant temperature water tank 3 is used to ensure that users have a continuous supply of high-quality hot water sources.

[0017] A first temperature probe 15 for monitoring the water temperature at the outlet of the solar collector 1 is provided on the first pipeline 5 near the outlet of the solar collector 1; second temperature probes 16, third temperature probes 17, and fourth temperature probes 18 for monitoring the water temperature are respectively provided in the hot water collecting tank 2, the hot water storage tank 3, and the constant temperature water tank 4; a fifth temperature probe 19 for monitoring the water temperature at the outlet of the hot water storage tank 3 is provided at the outlet of the hot water storage tank 3.

[0018] A first valve 20 is provided on the pipeline between the connection of the fourth pipeline 9 and the third pipeline 8 and the hot water storage tank 3. A second valve 21 is provided on the fourth pipeline 9. The first valve 20 and the second valve 21 are solenoid valves. A first liquid level gauge 22 is provided on the hot water collecting tank 2, and second liquid level gauges 23 are provided on both the hot water storage tank 3 and the constant temperature water tank 4.

[0019] The installation position of the hot water collecting tank 2 is higher than that of the hot water storage tank 3 and the constant temperature water tank 4. The installation positions of the hot water storage tank 3 and the constant temperature water tank 4 are on the same plane. To solve the influence of the excessive weight of the water tank on the load-bearing of the house, a system design of multi-tank collection and storage water storage method and diversified configuration of the water tank volume is adopted. The water tank volume is calculated through the water consumption. The water collection method of three water tanks is that a small water tank is placed on the roof as the hot water collecting tank 2 of the solar hot water system, and the constant temperature water tank 4 and the hot water storage tank 3 are placed on the ground, which reduces the load-bearing pressure and solves the noise pollution of high-rise residents at the same time.

[0020] Make-up water pipelines 24 are provided on both the hot water collecting tank 2 and the constant temperature water tank 4, and backflow preventers are provided on the make-up water pipelines 24.

[0021] The first temperature probe 15, the second temperature probe 16, the third temperature probe 17, the fourth temperature probe 18, the fifth temperature probe 19, the first level gauge 22 and the second level gauge 23 are respectively electrically connected to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller is electrically connected to the PLC control panel. The PLC control panel can display that the temperature values corresponding to the first temperature probe 15, the second temperature probe 16, the third temperature probe 17, the fourth temperature probe 18, and the fifth temperature probe 19 are T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 respectively; and display the liquid level heights H1 and H2 corresponding to the first level gauge 22 and the second level gauge 23. The solar circulating water pump 7, the heat pump 10, the first valve 20 and the second valve 21 are all electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0022] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0023] On sunny days:

[0024] When the device is running, the solar collector 1 absorbs heat. When (T2 - T1) ≥ 4°C, the PLC controller controls the solar circulating water pump 7 to start, and continuously heats the water in the hot water collecting tank 2. When the water temperature (T2 - T1) ≤ 4°C, the PLC controller controls the solar circulating water pump 7 to stop. When T2 = 55 ± 2°C, the PLC controller controls the first valve 20 to open, and the water flows into the hot water storage tank 2. When T2 ≤ 53°C, the PLC controller controls the first valve 21 to close. When T5 < 50°C, the PLC controller controls the screw conveyor circulating water pump 11 to start, pumps the water in the constant temperature water tank 4 into the air source heat pump 10 for heating, and the heated water is pumped into the hot water storage tank 3. When T4 = 55 ± 2°C, the heat pump 10 stops.

[0025] On cloudy or cold days:

[0026] When the device is running, the solar collector 1 absorbs heat. When (T2 - T1) ≥ 4°C, the PLC controller controls the solar circulating water pump 7 to start, and continuously heats the water in the hot water collecting tank 2. When the water temperature (T2 - T1) ≤ 4°C, the PLC controller controls the solar circulating water pump 7 to stop. When the water temperature (T3 - T2) ≤ 10°C, the second valve 21 opens, and the water in the hot water collecting tank 2 flows into the constant temperature water tank 4. When (T2 - T1) ≥ 4°C or (T3 - T2) ≤ 10°C, the second valve 21 closes. When T5 < 50°C, the PLC controller controls the screw conveyor circulating water pump 11 to start, pumps the water in the constant temperature water tank 4 into the air source heat pump 10 for heating, and the heated water is pumped into the hot water storage tank 3. When T4 = 55 ± 2°C, the heat pump stops. The air source heat pump 10 can be replaced by a water source heat pump or a seawater source heat pump.

[0027] In sunny, cloudy or cold weather, whether the liquid level of the heat storage tank 3 and the thermostatic water tank 4 drops due to the user's use of hot water, or the first valve 20 or the second valve 21 is opened to cause the liquid level of the heat collection tank 2 to drop, when the liquid level heights H1 and H2 are less than the preset liquid level heights, the PLC controller controls the opening of the water supply pipeline 24 valve to supply water to the heat collection tank 2 or the thermostatic water tank 4, ensuring that the heat collection tank 2 and the thermostatic water tank 4 are always at the preset liquid level height state and maintaining sufficient water consumption. The temperature difference formed after water replenishment is also heated by the above-mentioned temperature control principle to ensure temperature stability, and when the preset height is reached, water replenishment is stopped. When the first valve 20 or the second valve 21 is opened, when the liquid level height H2 of the heat storage tank 3 and the thermostatic water tank 4 reaches the preset height, the PLC controller also controls the first valve 20 or the second valve 21 to close to prevent overflow.

[0028] In order to solve the influence of hot water stratification in the water tank on the hot water temperature, the present invention combines the heat pump 10 with the solar collector 1 and collects and stores water in multiple water tanks. During operation, the water in the hot water storage tank 3 is firstly ensured to be in a high temperature state. The two water tanks are interconnected, and the high-temperature hot water squeezes the low-temperature hot water into the constant temperature water tank 4. The low-temperature hot water is secondary heated by the heat pump 10. When the set temperature is reached, the system stops, and the temperature quality of the water outlet of the hot water storage tank 3 is always guaranteed. It is ensured that there is sufficient hot water and the water temperature meets the requirements, thereby solving the problem of residents' water being hot and cold.

[0029] Since solar energy is a renewable resource, the country advocates green environmental protection and energy saving, and the use of solar collectors 1 is very large. However, due to the great influence of the environment, it is difficult to reach the set temperature in rainy weather. The ordinary hot water system adds a heating wire and uses the most electric heating method to heat the water to the set temperature, which consumes a lot of electricity. In order to solve the above problem, the heat collection tank 3 is connected to the constant temperature water tank 4, and the water is heated twice by the heat pump 10, and finally reaches the hot water storage tank 3, which greatly reduces the consumption of electricity.

[0030] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
