[0009] One end of the refrigeration capillary tube is connected to the heat exchange outlet of the indoor heat exchanger;
[0010] The outlet of the compressor is connected to the first pipeline, the second pipeline and the third pipeline through a four-way valve, the inlet of the compressor is connected to a compression circuit, the compression circuit is provided with a second solenoid valve F2, the other end of the second pipeline is connected to the compression circuit, and the other end of the first pipeline is connected to the heat exchange inlet of the indoor heat exchanger;
[0011] The third pipeline is connected to the other end of the refrigeration capillary tube, and a first solenoid valve F1 and a fourth solenoid valve F4 are arranged on the third pipeline. The fin heat exchanger, the heating capillary tube and the shell-and-tube heat exchanger are arranged in sequence on the third pipeline between the first solenoid valve F1 and the fourth solenoid valve F4, and the fin heat exchanger is arranged close to the fourth solenoid valve F4; the end of the compression circuit is arranged on the third pipeline between the first solenoid valve F1 and the shell-and-tube heat exchanger;
[0012] A fourth pipeline is provided in parallel with the third pipeline. One end of the fourth pipeline is connected to the fourth solenoid valve F4, and the other end is connected to the refrigeration capillary. A third solenoid valve F3 is provided on the fourth pipeline.
[0013] The indoor heat exchanger is any indoor heat exchanger disclosed in the prior art and suitable for use in an air source heat pump unit.
[0014] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention can also be further achieved through the following technical scheme: the shell and tube heat exchanger is provided with a circulation inlet and a circulation outlet, the circulation inlet and the circulation outlet are connected to the water circulation outlet and the water circulation inlet of the solar water tank through a circulation pipeline, an expansion tank is provided on the circulation pipeline flowing to the circulation inlet end of the shell and tube heat exchanger, and a circulation pump is provided on the circulation pipeline flowing out of the circulation outlet end of the shell and tube heat exchanger.
[0015] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention can also be further achieved through the following technical scheme: the solar water tank is provided with an inner tank and an outer tank, a heat exchange coil and electric heating are arranged in the inner tank, the water circulation outlet and the water circulation inlet of the solar water tank are connected to the two ends of the heat exchange coil, and the inner tank is also connected with water inlet and outlet pipes.
[0016] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention can be further achieved by the following technical solution: a one-way valve is connected in parallel to the refrigeration capillary tube.
[0017] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention can be further achieved by the following technical solution: circulation branches are connected in parallel at both ends of the heating capillary tube, and a fifth solenoid valve F5 is provided on the circulation branch.
[0018] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention can be further achieved by the following technical solution. The system has a refrigerant in the compressor, a low-temperature antifreeze liquid in the shell and tube heat exchanger, and has a heating mode, a cooling mode and a defrosting mode;
[0019] The heating mode: the compressor is turned on, F1 and F4 are turned on, and F2, F3, and F5 are turned off. After the refrigerant is compressed by the compressor, it releases heat in the indoor heat exchanger, flows to the shell and tube heat exchanger through the one-way valve, releases and stores part of the heat to the low-temperature antifreeze in the shell and tube heat exchanger, passes through the heating capillary throttling, absorbs heat from the air in the outdoor heat exchanger, and returns to the compressor;
[0020] The refrigeration mode: the compressor is turned on, F1, F4, and F5 are turned on, and F2 and F3 are turned off. After being compressed by the compressor, the refrigerant dissipates heat to the outside in the fin heat exchanger, releases part of the heat through the shell and tube heat exchanger, and after throttling through the refrigeration capillary, releases the cold in the indoor heat exchanger and returns to the compressor; when the temperature of the low-temperature antifreeze in the shell and tube heat exchanger is 5°C-10°C higher than the temperature of the solar water tank, the circulation pump is started and the fan of the fin heat exchanger is decelerated; when the temperature of the low-temperature antifreeze in the tube heat exchanger is less than or equal to the temperature of the solar water tank by 5°C-10°C, the circulation pump is turned off and the fan of the fin heat exchanger operates normally;
[0021] The defrost mode: the compressor is turned on, F2 and F3 are turned on, and F1, F4, and F5 are turned off. After the refrigerant is compressed by the compressor and releases heat in the indoor heat exchanger, it flows to the fin heat exchanger through the one-way valve to defrost the fin heat exchanger, and is throttled by the heating capillary. It absorbs and stores heat in the shell and tube heat exchanger and the heat of the solar water tank and returns to the compressor; when the temperature of the low-temperature antifreeze in the shell and tube heat exchanger is lower than 15°C-25°C, the circulating pump is started, and when the temperature of the solar water tank is lower than 25°C, the electric heating is turned on to heat it to 35°C.
[0022] In this system, the compressor is filled with refrigerant, and the shell and tube heat exchanger is provided with low-temperature antifreeze. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the low-temperature antifreeze in the shell through the tube. In the defrost mode, the shell and tube heat exchanger becomes an evaporator, and the residual heat after indoor heat release is used for defrosting. The heat of solar energy is absorbed from the shell and tube heat exchanger, and the solar energy and part of the stored energy are used for defrosting indirectly, thereby achieving defrosting without stopping the machine, and defrosting does not affect the user's heating demand at all.
[0023] In heating mode, after the indoor heat is released, part of the heat is stored in the shell and tube heat exchanger, so that the refrigerant is supercooled, absorbing more heat from the outdoor air, and increasing the overall heating capacity of the unit. In cooling mode, according to the actual situation, if it is rainy for consecutive days and the water temperature of the solar water tank is low, the wind speed of the fin heat exchanger fan can be reduced, etc., to retain part of the heat and recover it to the solar water tank through the shell and tube heat exchanger.
[0024] Reasonable use of solar clean energy, give full play to the role of solar energy in winter, even if the water temperature is too low to be used as domestic hot water, low-level heat can be used for defrosting. The shell and tube heat exchanger is set to provide a supercooling process for the refrigerant, improve the energy efficiency of the original system, and partially recover heat in the cooling mode to improve energy efficiency.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the system structure of the present invention is simple and can meet the user's hot water needs in three seasons. At the same time, it can make full use of the low-temperature heat of solar energy in winter, so that the air source heat pump does not stop during defrosting, and the user comfort is greatly improved.
