[0028] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a heat pump system in related technologies, such as... Figure 1 As environmental awareness gradually increases, clean energy, such as solar energy, has received widespread attention, and PVT solar collectors, which generate electricity and provide heat based on solar energy, have become a hot research topic. To achieve heating and power supply based on PVT solar collectors, related technologies often connect the output of the PVT solar collector to an inverter, which in turn connects to the mains power grid via a transformer, thus jointly supplying power to devices such as fans and compressors.

[0029] When the DC power signal output from the PVT collector is converted into an AC signal by an inverter, certain losses occur, thus reducing the utilization rate of photovoltaic power generation. Therefore, to improve the utilization rate of photovoltaic power generation, the heat pump system provided in this application directly connects the output terminal of the photovoltaic panel of the PVT collector to the DC bus of the air conditioner's inverter controller, while the AC input terminal of the inverter controller is connected to the mains power supply. This achieves combined mains power supply to the air conditioner's compressor, while eliminating the inverter process, reducing energy loss, and improving energy utilization.

[0030] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a heat pump system provided in one embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the heat pump system includes: a photovoltaic panel 210, an evaporator 220, a frequency converter 230, a compressor 240, and a water tank.

[0031] The photovoltaic panel 210 serves as a DC power source, providing a driving power source for the compressor to achieve cooling or heating based on photovoltaic power generation. The evaporator 220 is located on the back of the photovoltaic panel 210, i.e., the side away from the photovoltaic panel 210 that absorbs sunlight, and is used to absorb the heat generated by the photovoltaic panel 210 and heat the water in the water tank based on the absorbed heat energy to provide hot water.

[0032] Specifically, the output terminal of the photovoltaic panel 210 is connected to the DC bus of the frequency converter 230, and the AC input terminal of the frequency converter 230 is connected to the mains power, thereby realizing the combined use of the mains power and the DC power output from the photovoltaic panel 210 to drive the compressor 240.

[0033] The compressor is powered by the DC power output from the photovoltaic panel 210 in conjunction with the mains power, eliminating the need for intermediate conversion stages such as inverters. This reduces costs, improves energy conversion efficiency, and ultimately increases the photovoltaic utilization rate of the photovoltaic panel 210.

[0034] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic panel 210 may be composed of an array of silicon solar cells.

[0035] In some embodiments, compressor 240 is an air conditioner compressor.

[0036] In some embodiments, the water tank is the water tank of a water heater.

[0037] In some embodiments, a transparent cover is provided above the photovoltaic panel 210 to reduce heat loss.

[0038] In some embodiments, the transparent cover can be a low-emissivity glass cover.

[0039] In some embodiments, a heat-absorbing plate is disposed below (or on the back) of the photovoltaic panel 210 to absorb solar energy that has not been converted by the photovoltaic panel 210.

[0040] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic panel 210 can absorb sunlight with wavelengths of 0.3 micrometers to 1.1 micrometers, while the heat absorber can absorb sunlight with wavelengths of 1.1 micrometers to 3 micrometers, thereby improving the utilization rate of solar energy and enabling the PVT collector composed of the photovoltaic panel 210 and the heat absorber to absorb sunlight across the entire solar spectrum.

[0041] In some embodiments, the heat-absorbing plate can be an aluminum plate, which is the back plate of the photovoltaic panel 210.

[0042] In some embodiments, an evaporator 220 is provided on the side of the heat absorber away from the photovoltaic panel 210. The evaporator 220 consists of multiple heat-collecting evaporation tubes arranged in a serpentine manner on the heat absorber to cool the photovoltaic panel 210 and prevent the photovoltaic panel 210 from reducing its output power due to excessive temperature.

[0043] In some embodiments, the heat-collecting evaporator tube of the evaporator 220 forms a passage with the heat exchanger pipe of the water heater, and the pipe is filled with refrigerant, so that the water in the water tank of the water heater is heated by the heat absorbed by the evaporator 220, thereby further improving the energy utilization rate of the heat pump system.

[0044] In some embodiments, an insulation layer is provided below the heat absorber to reduce heat loss from the heat absorber.

[0045] In some embodiments, the heat collection evaporation tube is tightly bonded to the heat absorption plate with thermally conductive adhesive, and after the insulation layer is applied, they are installed together in an aluminum alloy frame to complete the encapsulation of the PVT collector assembly.

[0046] In some embodiments, a condenser 260 is provided in the water tank of the water heater, and a loop is formed between the evaporator 220, the compressor 240 and the condenser 260 through a pipeline, and the pipeline is filled with refrigerant.

[0047] In some embodiments, condenser 260 is a microchannel condenser.

[0048] In some embodiments, the refrigerant may be Freon 12 (R12, CF2CL2), Freon 22 (R22, CHF2CL), Freon 502 (R502), Freon 1341a (R134a, C2H2F4), etc.

[0049] The heat pump system provided in this application connects the output end of the photovoltaic panel to the DC bus of the frequency converter, and then connects the AC input end of the frequency converter to the mains power, realizing multi-energy driven compressor to achieve cooling or heating. By directly connecting the output end of the photovoltaic panel to the DC bus to drive the compressor, the loss caused by inverting the DC signal output by the photovoltaic panel to the AC signal is avoided, thus improving the utilization rate of photovoltaic power generation. At the same time, the heat energy absorbed by the evaporator on the back of the photovoltaic panel is used to heat the water in the water tank, realizing a solar-based water heating method that is environmentally friendly, clean, and further improves the utilization rate of photovoltaic power generation energy.

[0050] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a heat pump system provided in another embodiment of this application, see below. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As can be seen, the heat pump system provided in this embodiment also includes a storage battery 250.

[0051] The storage battery 250 is connected to the photovoltaic panel 210 and is used to charge the storage battery 250 when the voltage output by the photovoltaic panel 210 is greater than a preset voltage, and to discharge the storage battery 250 when the voltage output by the photovoltaic panel 210 is less than the preset voltage.

[0052] In some embodiments, the preset voltage can be 24V, 48V, or other values.

[0053] Since the voltage of the DC power signal output by the photovoltaic panel 210 is easily affected by the intensity of sunlight, a storage battery 250 is added in order to provide a stable voltage source to the air conditioner compressor 240, fan, etc. When the photovoltaic panel 210 has sufficient power, that is, when the output voltage is greater than the preset voltage, the photovoltaic panel 210 charges the storage battery 250. When the photovoltaic panel 210 has insufficient power, that is, when the output voltage is less than the preset voltage, the storage battery 250 discharges, so that the photovoltaic panel 210 can work together to supply power to the air conditioner.

[0054] In some embodiments, the charging and discharging control of the battery 250 can be achieved by designing a charging and discharging management module, so that the power output of the power module composed of the battery 250 and the photovoltaic panel 210 is stabilized at a preset voltage.

[0055] In some embodiments, in order to improve the photovoltaic utilization rate of the photovoltaic panel 210, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) circuit can be added to the heat pump system. The MPPT is used to control the power of the photovoltaic panel 210 to charge the battery 250.

[0056] Specifically, the MPPT is used to monitor the voltage and current at the output terminal of the photovoltaic panel 210, and to track the highest voltage and highest current at the output terminal of the photovoltaic panel 210, thereby controlling the photovoltaic panel 210 to charge the battery at the maximum available power.

[0057] In some embodiments, the heat pump system further includes a boost unit or boost circuit, and the photovoltaic panel 210 is connected to the DC bus of the frequency converter 230 through the boost unit.

[0058] In some embodiments, the boost unit is a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) boost circuit.

[0059] In some embodiments, the MPPT can adjust the duty cycle of the PWM drive signal of the boost unit according to the changes in the current and voltage of the photovoltaic panel 210, thereby controlling the photovoltaic panel 210 to charge the battery 250 at the maximum available power.

[0060] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a heat pump system provided in another embodiment of this application, see below. Figure 2 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the heat pump system also includes a throttling valve 270 and an air-cooled evaporator 280.

[0061] The throttling valve 270 is located between the evaporator 220 and the condenser 260. The air-cooled evaporator 280 is located on the side of the evaporator 220 furthest from the photovoltaic panel, used to blow the vaporized refrigerant inside to the compressor 240. When the refrigerant is compressed into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas in the compressor 240, it is condensed into a low-temperature, high-pressure liquid in the condenser 260. The heat released by the refrigerant heats the water in the tank. The high-pressure liquid condensed in the condenser 260 is then depressurized through the throttling valve 270 into a two-phase state and enters the evaporator 220, completing one heat pump cycle. The air-cooled evaporator 280 includes a fan and a baffle plate, such as a cross-flow fan.

[0062] In some embodiments, the fan or blower of the air-cooled evaporator 280 may be powered by the photovoltaic panel 210.

[0063] In some embodiments, the heat pump system also includes an expansion valve.

[0064] Specifically, the opening degree of the throttle valve 270 can be controlled based on factors such as light intensity, water temperature in the tank, and ambient temperature, thereby controlling the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing into the evaporator 220 to achieve cooling control of the photovoltaic panel 210.

[0065] In some embodiments, the heat pump system further includes one or more of the following sensors: an ambient temperature sensor, an evaporation sensor, a suction sensor, an exhaust sensor, and a water temperature sensor, as well as a control unit; the ambient temperature sensor is used to detect the ambient temperature; the evaporation sensor is used to detect the temperature of the gas at the outlet of the evaporator; the suction sensor is used to detect the temperature of the gas at the inlet of the compressor; the exhaust sensor is used to detect the temperature of the gas at the outlet of the compressor; the water temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the water in the water tank; and the control unit is used to control the opening degree of the throttle valve based on the signals output by one or more of the ambient temperature sensor, the evaporation sensor, the suction sensor, the exhaust sensor, and the water temperature sensor.

[0066] In some embodiments, the control unit is also used to determine the operation of each switch or valve of the heat pump system based on the signals output by the ambient temperature sensor, evaporation sensor, intake sensor, exhaust sensor and water temperature sensor, thereby controlling the heat pump system to operate in different working modes to optimize the COP (Coefficient of performance) of the heat pump system.

[0067] In some embodiments, the heat pump system further includes a first switch for controlling the operation of the air-cooled evaporator 280. When the first switch is closed, the air-cooled evaporator 280 operates; when the first switch is open, the air-cooled evaporator 280 stops operating. The control unit described above can control the opening and closing of the first switch based on the light intensity and the temperature of the water in the tank collected by the water temperature sensor.

[0068] Specifically, when the light intensity is greater than the first intensity, the first switch is turned off; when the light intensity is less than the second intensity, the first switch is turned on.

[0069] In some embodiments, the heat pump system further includes a refrigerant pump, a second switch, a third switch, and a first check valve. The second switch controls the operation of the refrigerant pump, which is connected to the condenser 260 and the expansion valve 270. When the second switch is closed, the refrigerant in the condenser 260 enters the evaporator 220 through the refrigerant pump and the expansion valve 270. When the second switch is open, the refrigerant in the condenser 260 enters the evaporator 220 through the check valve and the expansion valve 270. The first and second switches can be controlled by a control unit based on the light intensity and the water temperature in the water tank collected by a water temperature sensor. One end of the third switch is connected to the compressor, and the other end is connected to the output terminal of the photovoltaic panel 210. When the third switch is open, the photovoltaic panel 210 does not supply power to the compressor 240; when the third switch is closed, the photovoltaic panel supplies power to the compressor 240.

[0070] Specifically, when the light intensity is greater than the first intensity and the water temperature is lower than the first water temperature, the second switch is closed, the third switch is opened, and the throttle valve 270 is fully opened. This prevents the photovoltaic panel 210 from supplying power to the compressor, allowing more solar energy to be converted into heat energy, which is then absorbed and vaporized by the refrigerant in the evaporator 220. The vaporized refrigerant condenses into a liquid in the condenser 260 and then enters the evaporator 220 through the refrigerant pump and the throttle valve 270, completing one cycle. When the light intensity is greater than the first intensity and the water temperature is higher than the second water temperature, the second switch is opened, the third switch is closed, and the throttle valve 270 is in a throttling state. Part of the solar energy is converted into electrical energy by the photovoltaic panel 210 to power the compressor 240, and part of the solar energy is converted into heat energy, which is absorbed and vaporized by the evaporator 220. The vaporized refrigerant condenses into a liquid in the condenser 260 and then enters the evaporator 220 through the first one-way valve and the throttle valve 270, completing one cycle. The second water temperature is higher than the first water temperature.

[0071] In some embodiments, the heat pump system further includes a working fluid pump, a first switch, a second switch, a third switch, and a first check valve.

[0072] For example, the first water temperature can be 30℃, 35℃, 40℃ or other values, and the second water temperature can be 45℃, 50℃, 55℃ or other values.

[0073] In some embodiments, the evaporator 220 is a liquid storage evaporator.

[0074] In some embodiments, the control unit is also used to control the opening degree of the throttle valve 270 and the closing of the third switch based on the liquid level of the liquid refrigerant in the evaporator 220, the light intensity and the water temperature, so as to meet the heating and cooling needs under various operating conditions.

[0075] Specifically, when the liquid refrigerant level in the evaporator 220 is higher than the preset height, the light intensity is greater than the first intensity, and the water temperature in the water tank is lower than the first water temperature, the third switch is opened and the throttle valve is fully opened, so that the photovoltaic panel 210 does not supply power to the compressor 240, and more energy is used to heat the water in the water tank; when the light intensity is greater than the first intensity and the water temperature in the water tank is higher than the second water temperature, the third switch is closed and the throttle valve 270 is in a throttling state, so that part of the energy generated by the photovoltaic panel 210 is used to supply power to the compressor 240 and part of the energy is used to heat the water in the water tank.

[0076] In some embodiments, the control unit is also used to control the voltage output from the photovoltaic panel 210 to the frequency converter 230 based on signals from one or more of the ambient temperature sensor, evaporation sensor, intake sensor, exhaust sensor, and water temperature sensor.

[0077] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them; although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the protection scope of this application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of this application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this application.
