In the heat pump drying cycle state of the drying cycle unit, the water outlet of the heat storage barrel is sequentially connected to the water inlet of the washing barrel through the circulation pump and the first switching channel of the switching valve. The water outlet of the heat storage barrel is sequentially connected to the water inlet of the heat storage barrel through the circulation pump, the second switching channel of the switching valve, the fan coil unit, and the water side channel of the plate heat exchanger. The gaseous working medium in the evaporator is compressed by the compressor and then enters the refrigerant channel of the plate heat exchanger. The compressed working medium absorbs heat from the low-temperature water on the water side of the plate heat exchanger and then enters the expansion valve and returns to the evaporator. After the evaporator absorbs heat and warms up, it forms gaseous working medium again and enters the intake port of the compressor.

[0012] Preferably, when the first valve, the second valve, and the third valve are in the closed state, the whole machine system is in the refrigeration drying cycle state. In the refrigeration drying cycle state of the whole machine system, the gaseous working medium in the evaporator is compressed by the compressor and then enters the refrigerant channel of the plate heat exchanger.

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0026] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, A heat management system for the interconnection of a clothes dryer and an air conditioner, comprising an air conditioner temperature control unit, a clothes drying circulation unit, and a flow path regulation unit. The air conditioner temperature control unit includes a compressor 1, a condenser 2, an expansion valve 3, and an evaporator 4. The clothes drying circulation unit includes a plate heat exchanger 5, a fan coil unit 6, a circulation pump 7, a heat storage barrel 8, and a washing tub 9. The flow path regulation unit includes a switching valve 101, a first valve 102, a second valve 103, a third valve 104, and a fourth valve 105. By adjusting the opening and closing states of the valves and the opening states of different flow paths of the switching valve, the heat management system is controlled to achieve various functions such as room cooling, hot water laundry, heat pump clothes drying, and cold water heat storage. The waste heat in the air conditioner refrigeration condition is recovered through the heat storage barrel, thereby improving the comprehensive performance of the household energy heat management system while increasing the energy utilization rate;

[0027] The gaseous outlet of the evaporator 4 is connected to the inlet of the compressor 1. The plate heat exchanger 5 is connected in parallel with the first valve 102 to form a first working selection branch of the plate heat exchanger. The condenser 2 is connected in parallel with the second valve 103 to form a condenser working selection branch. The exhaust port of the compressor 1 is sequentially connected to the liquid inlet of the evaporator 4 through the first working selection branch of the plate heat exchanger, the condenser working selection branch, and the expansion valve 3;

[0028] The plate heat exchanger 5 is connected in parallel with the third valve 104 to form a second working selection branch of the plate heat exchanger. One side of the second working selection branch of the plate heat exchanger is respectively connected to the water inlet of the heat storage barrel 8 and the fourth valve 105 with tap water connected externally. The other side of the plate heat exchanger 5 connected in parallel with the third valve 104 is connected to the water outlet of the fan coil unit 6. The water outlet of the heat storage barrel 8 is connected to the water inlet of the circulation pump 7. The water outlet of the circulation pump 7 is connected to the water inlet of the switching valve 101. The first switching flow path of the switching valve 101 is connected to the washing tub 9, and the second switching flow path of the switching valve 101 is connected to the water inlet of the fan coil unit 6.

[0029] Refer to Figure 3 , When the first valve 102 is in the open state, the second valve 103, the third valve 104, and the fourth valve 105 are in the closed state, and the first switching flow path of the switching valve 101 is in the closed state, the air conditioner temperature control unit is in the refrigeration cycle state. At this time, cold air is blown into the room through the heat management system to adjust the temperature and humidity of the air in the room to meet the requirements of human comfort. In the refrigeration cycle state of the air conditioner temperature control unit, the gaseous working medium in the evaporator 4 is compressed by the compressor 1 and then enters the intake pipe of the condenser 2. The gas-liquid mixture output by the condenser 2 returns to the evaporator 4 through the expansion valve 3. After the evaporator 4 cools the air conditioner air, it forms a gaseous working medium again and enters the intake port of the compressor 1.

[0030] Refer to Figure 4, when the second switching flow channel of the switching valve 101 is in the open state and the first valve 102, the second valve 103, the third valve 104, and the fourth valve 105 are in the closed state, the air-conditioning temperature control unit is in the refrigeration and heat storage cycle state. At this time, the thermal management system can not only provide cooling for the room, but also utilize the heat storage barrel to recover the waste heat discharged from the condenser of the air-conditioning system, saving energy. When the air-conditioning temperature control unit is in the refrigeration and heat storage cycle state, the gaseous working medium in the evaporator 4 is compressed by the compressor 1 and then enters the refrigerant flow channel of the plate heat exchanger 5. The compressed working medium absorbs heat from the low-temperature water on the water side of the plate heat exchanger 5 and then enters the intake pipe of the condenser 2. The working medium output by the condenser 2 flows back to the evaporator 4 through the expansion valve 3. After the evaporator 4 cools the air-conditioning air, it forms gaseous working medium again and enters the intake port of the compressor 1. At the same time, the water on the water side of the plate heat exchanger 5 absorbs heat and then enters the heat storage barrel 8. The water in the heat storage barrel 8 is pressurized by the circulation pump 7 and flows through the fan coil unit 6 and then enters the water side of the plate heat exchanger 5.

When the dry cleaning cycle unit is in the heat storage and dry cleaning cycle state, at this time, the high-temperature hot water of the heat storage barrel is utilized to realize the functions of washing clothes with low-temperature hot water and drying clothes with hot air. There is no need for an additional heat source to heat the washing water and dry the clothes, greatly reducing energy consumption. The water outlet of the heat storage barrel 8 is sequentially connected to the water inlet of the washing barrel 9 through the circulation pump 7 and the first switching flow channel of the switching valve 101. The water outlet of the heat storage barrel 8 is sequentially connected to the water inlet of the heat storage barrel 8 through the circulation pump 7, the second switching flow channel of the switching valve 101, the fan coil unit 6, and the third valve 104.

[0032] Refer to Figure 6 , when the second valve 103 is in the open state and the first valve 102 and the third valve 104 are in the closed state, the dry cleaning cycle unit is in the heat pump dry cleaning cycle state. At this time, low-temperature hot water is produced by the heat pump system to wash and dry clothes. Compared with the electric heating system, the energy utilization efficiency is greatly improved. When the dry cleaning cycle unit is in the heat pump dry cleaning cycle state, the water outlet of the heat storage barrel 8 is sequentially connected to the water inlet of the washing barrel 9 through the circulation pump 7 and the first switching flow channel of the switching valve 101. The water outlet of the heat storage barrel 8 is sequentially connected to the water inlet of the heat storage barrel 8 through the circulation pump 7, the second switching flow channel of the switching valve 101, the fan coil unit 6, and the water side flow channel of the plate heat exchanger 5. The gaseous working medium in the evaporator 4 is compressed by the compressor 1 and then enters the refrigerant flow channel of the plate heat exchanger. The compressed working medium absorbs heat from the low-temperature water on the water side of the plate heat exchanger 5 and then enters the expansion valve 3 and flows back to the evaporator 4. After the evaporator 4 absorbs heat and warms up, it forms gaseous working medium again and enters the intake port of the compressor 1.

[0033] Reference Figure 7 When the first valve 102, the second valve 103 and the third valve 104 are in the closed state, the whole machine system is in the refrigeration and drying cycle state. In the refrigeration and drying cycle state of the whole machine system, the gaseous working medium in the evaporator 4 is compressed by the compressor 1 and then enters the refrigerant flow channel of the plate heat exchanger. The compressed working medium absorbs heat from the low-temperature water on the water side of the plate heat exchanger 5 and then enters the intake pipe of the condenser 2. The working medium output by the condenser 2 flows back to the evaporator 4 through the expansion valve 3. After the evaporator 4 cools the air conditioner air, it forms gaseous working medium again and enters the intake port of the compressor 1. The water outlet of the heat storage bucket 8 is connected to the water inlet of the washing tub 9 through the circulation pump 7 and the first switching flow channel of the switching valve 101 in sequence. The water outlet of the heat storage bucket 8 is connected to the water inlet of the heat storage bucket 8 through the circulation pump 7, the second switching flow channel of the switching valve 101, the fan coil unit 6 and the water side flow channel of the plate heat exchanger 5 in sequence.

[0034] In summary, by adjusting the opening and closing states of the valves and the opening states of different flow channels of the switching valve, the present invention can control the air-conditioning temperature control unit to be in the refrigeration cycle state, the refrigeration and heat storage cycle state or the refrigeration and drying cycle state, and control the drying cycle unit to be in the heat storage and drying cycle state and the heat pump drying cycle state, realizing the combination of hot water washing, drying and room cooling, and recovering the waste heat of the air-conditioning refrigeration working condition through the heat storage bucket, thereby improving the comprehensive performance of the household energy thermal management system while improving the energy utilization rate.
