[0033] The solar energy, air energy and phase change energy storage coupled heat pump unit of the embodiment extracts heat energy from the solar energy, air energy and phase change energy storage, and is coupled with the water source heat energy unit to provide heating for buildings.

[0034] When the sun is shining, on one hand, the solar heat cycle, sunlight penetrates the heat-absorbing glass plate 7 and irradiates on the energy storage heat collecting pipe 10, and the heat collecting sleeve pipe 11 absorbs the solar heat energy; on the other hand, the air energy heat cycle, the outside air flows in the heat preservation shell 6 through the air port 17, and the heat collecting sleeve pipe 11 exchanges heat with the heat energy in the air; the solar heat cycle and the air energy heat cycle both make the water in the heat collecting sleeve pipe 11 warm, and the heat energy is transmitted to the medium flowing in the inner heat transfer pipe 12 through the water, and the medium can be R22 refrigerant; the medium evaporates and becomes low-temperature and low-pressure gas, enters the input end of the heat supply pipeline 1 through the upper header 9, becomes high-temperature and high-pressure gas under the power action of the compressor 3, flows into the condenser 4, exchanges heat with the user side through the fan coil unit in the condenser 4, and releases heat to the heat user through the fan coil; the medium flowing out of the condenser 4 becomes gas-liquid mixture, enters the expansion valve 5, becomes liquid after entering the expansion valve 5, and flows back to the lower header 8, and enters the heat collecting sleeve pipe 11 and the inner heat transfer pipe 12 between the upper sealing piston 14 and the lower sealing piston 15 through the communication port 18, and completes a cycle.

[0035] At night or on cloudy days, and when the outdoor temperature is higher than 0℃, the air energy heat cycle can be carried out alone, or when the outdoor temperature is low and the heat supply efficiency is low and cannot meet the user side, the heated water tank 22 can be used to heat the water to provide emergency heat energy. The heated water tank 22 heats the water inside, the circulating pump 23 sends the water in the heated water tank 22 to the water inlet ring pipe 13 and the heat collecting sleeve pipe 11 through the circulating water supply pipe 21, the water in the heat collecting sleeve pipe 11 exchanges heat with the medium flowing in the inner heat transfer pipe 12, and then enters the circulating return pipe 20 and the heated water tank 22 through the water outlet 19, completes a cycle, and realizes heating of the medium in the inner heat transfer pipe 12 to supply heat to the heat user.

[0036] When the solar energy cannot provide heat energy at night or on cloudy days, the outdoor temperature is lower than 0℃, and the power is off, the water stored in the heat collecting sleeve 11 releases the freezing latent heat to transfer to the medium in the inner heat transfer pipe 12, so as to heat the medium in the inner heat transfer pipe 12 and provide heat for the heat users. After the power is on, the heating water tank 22 is powered to heat the water inside, and the circulating pump 23 sends the water in the heating water tank 22 to the water inlet ring pipe 13 and the heat collecting sleeve 11 through the circulating water supply pipe 21. The water in the heat collecting sleeve 11 exchanges heat with the medium flowing in the inner heat transfer pipe 12, and then enters the circulating return pipe 20, the heating water tank 22 through the water outlet 19, to complete a cycle and heat the medium in the inner heat transfer pipe 12, so as to provide heat for the heat users. If the water in the heat collecting sleeve 11 completely freezes, the control limiting part 16 moves, and the upper sealing piston 14 and the lower sealing piston 15 are no longer limited. The circulating pump 23 sends the water in the heating water tank 22 to the water inlet ring pipe 13 and the heat collecting sleeve 11 through the circulating water supply pipe 21, melts and impacts the ice in the heat collecting sleeve 11, and finally discharges the ice in the heat collecting sleeve 11 from the open end of the heat collecting sleeve 11 under the action of water flow impact force and self weight. Then, the upper sealing piston 14, the lower sealing piston 15 and the limiting part 16 are installed again, and the water is injected into the heat collecting sleeve 11 to provide heat for the heat users. In the case of continuous power failure, the ice in the heat collecting sleeve 11 can be melted by solar energy when there is sunlight during the day.

[0037] In an embodiment, to avoid excessive pressure in the water inlet ring pipe 13 and the heat collecting sleeve 11, the water inlet end of the water inlet ring pipe 13 is located at the bottom of the water inlet ring pipe 13, and the water inlet end of the water inlet ring pipe 13 extends out of the bottom of the upper header tank 9. The water inlet ring pipe 13 is also provided with an overflow water outlet at the top, and the overflow water outlet extends out of the top of the upper header tank 9. When water is injected into the heat collecting sleeve 11 through the water inlet ring pipe 13, especially when the heat collecting sleeve 11 is completely frozen, the pressure in the water inlet ring pipe 13 and the heat collecting sleeve 11 will be too high under the action of the circulating pump 23, and water or gas will be discharged from the overflow water outlet.

[0038] In an embodiment, to avoid waste of water overflowed from the water outlet end, the circulating heating mechanism further comprises an overflow pipe 25, an input end of the overflow pipe 25 being in communication with the water overflow outlet end of the water inlet ring pipe 13, an output end of the overflow pipe 25 being in communication with the circulating return pipe 20, an overflow valve 26 being installed at the input end of the overflow pipe 25, the overflow valve 26 being opened only when the water overflow pressure is greater than a preset value, so as to ensure that the water supply pressure of the heat collecting sleeve pipe 11 is not too low, a one-way valve 27 being installed at the output end of the overflow pipe 25, the one-way valve 27 being able to avoid water flowing into the overflow pipe 25. When the pressure in the water inlet ring pipe 13 and the heat collecting sleeve pipe 11 is greater than the preset opening pressure of the overflow valve 26, the water overflowed from the water outlet end enters the overflow pipe 25, the circulating return pipe 20 and the heating water tank 22, so as to realize the recycling of the overflowed water. Especially during ice melting and ice removal, the circulating pump 23 and the heater in the heating water tank 22 can be directly opened without moving the limiting member 16, the upper sealing piston 14 and the lower sealing piston 15, the circulating pump 23 sends the water in the heating water tank 22 to the water inlet ring pipe 13 and the heat collecting sleeve pipe 11 through the circulating water supply pipe 21, so as to melt and impact the ice in the heat collecting sleeve pipe 11. Due to the blockage of the ice, the water pressure in the water inlet ring pipe 13 and the heat collecting sleeve pipe 11 increases, the water is overflowed from the water outlet end, enters the overflow pipe 25, the circulating water supply pipe 21 and the heating water tank 22, so as to realize the recycling of the water. When the outer wall of the ice block in contact with the heat collecting sleeve pipe 11 and the inner wall in contact with the inner heat transfer pipe 12 are melted, the water can be discharged from the water outlet 19 and returned to the heating water tank 22, at this time, the circulating pump 23 can be closed, the limiting member 16 is operated, then the upper sealing piston 14 and the lower sealing piston 15 are taken out of the heat collecting sleeve pipe 11, under the action of gravity, the ice in the heat collecting sleeve pipe 11 is automatically discharged from the open end of the heat collecting sleeve pipe 11, if the ice block cannot be automatically discharged, the circulating pump 23 can be opened again to use the water pressure to flush out the ice block.
