[0125] Specifically, the method further includes:

[0126] If the difference between the second water temperature data and the first water temperature data is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold and the first water temperature data is less than or equal to the third preset threshold, the control module controls the execution module to output a control signal for selecting the first thermal energy coupling water supply mode. The execution module controls the solar water heater and the insulated water tank to perform thermal energy coupling.

[0127] It should be noted that if the difference between the second water temperature data and the first water temperature data is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold and the first water temperature data is less than or equal to the third preset threshold, it proves that the temperature of the hot water in the solar water heater is higher and the temperature of the hot water in the insulated water tank is lower.

[0132] It should be noted that if the difference between the second water temperature data and the first water temperature data is less than or equal to the fourth preset threshold, or if the first water temperature data is greater than the third preset threshold, it indicates that the temperature of the hot water in the solar water heater is low or the temperature of the hot water in the insulated water tank is high.

[0133] Specifically, the method further includes:

[0134] Determine whether the second water temperature data is less than or equal to the thirteenth preset threshold, and determine whether the first water temperature data is greater than or equal to the fourteenth preset threshold. Based on the determination results, control the execution module to output control signals related to selecting the appropriate heat energy coupling water supply mode of the air source heat pump unit and the solar water heater.

[0135] Specifically, the method includes:

[0136] If the second water temperature data is less than or equal to the thirteenth preset threshold, and the first water temperature data is greater than or equal to the fourteenth preset threshold, the control module controls the execution module to output a control signal related to selecting the first thermal energy coupling water supply mode, and the execution module controls the solar water heater and the insulated water tank to perform thermal energy coupling.

[0137] It should be noted that if the second water temperature data is less than or equal to the thirteenth preset threshold, and the first water temperature data is greater than or equal to the fourteenth preset threshold, it indicates that the water temperature in the solar water heater is too low and there is a risk of freezing. At this time, the water temperature in the insulated water tank is higher. Controlling the solar water heater and the insulated water tank to perform thermal energy coupling can effectively achieve solar antifreeze.

[0145] Specifically, the method further includes:

[0146] If the second water temperature data is not within the first preset temperature range, the control module controls the execution module to output a control signal regarding the selection of the fourth thermal energy coupling linkage water supply mode.

[0148] The control module acquires the current date data, current time data, and liquid level data in the insulated water tank. Based on the current date data, it acquires the current season data, determines whether the current season is winter, and outputs a control signal regarding whether to control the air source heat pump unit to start the direct heating mode based on the determination result, the liquid level data in the insulated tank, and the current time data.

[0161] It can be understood that the second preset time interval is the time interval of peak water usage, indicating that the current time is during peak water usage. If the current time data is within the second preset time interval, and the liquid level data is less than or equal to the fifth preset threshold, it indicates that the water output of the insulated water tank may be insufficient. In this case, the air source heat pump unit is controlled to start the direct heating mode, further improving the intelligence level of the invention. This invention sets four maximum liquid levels based on the total daily hot water volume of the applicable location, and comprehensively considers peak and off-peak water usage periods to provide a segmented control strategy for the system, further improving the intelligence level of the invention.

[0170] It should be noted that when the first water temperature data is less than or equal to the ninth preset threshold, it indicates that the water temperature in the insulated water tank is low, but not too low, and does not affect the user's use. The air source heat pump unit can be controlled to circulate water for heating, eliminating the need for direct heating mode, thus further saving energy and improving the intelligence level of the invention.

[0171] Specifically, the method further includes:

[0172] If the first water temperature data is greater than the ninth preset threshold, the control module controls the execution module to output a control signal to shut down the circulating pump of the air source heat pump unit, thereby controlling the air source heat pump unit and the insulated water tank to stop circulating water heating.

[0176] Specifically, the method further includes:

[0177] If the first water temperature data is less than the eleventh preset threshold or the liquid level data is greater than the twelfth preset threshold, the control module controls the execution module to output a control signal to close the solenoid valve for controlling the tap water supply, thereby stopping the tap water supply to the air source heat pump and solar coupled hot water system.

[0178] If the first water temperature data is greater than or equal to the eleventh preset threshold and the liquid level data is less than the twelfth preset threshold, the control module controls the execution module to output a control signal to control the opening of the tap water replenishment solenoid valve, thereby replenishing the tap water in the air source heat pump and solar coupled hot water system.

[0179] It should be noted that if the first water temperature data is greater than or equal to the eleventh preset threshold and the liquid level data is less than the twelfth preset threshold, it indicates that the water temperature in the insulated water tank is high but the liquid level is low. In this case, the present invention will replenish the water with tap water, which further improves the intelligence level of the present invention.

[0180] Specifically, the method further includes:

[0181] If it is determined that the water valve is currently open on the user side, a control signal is output to control the water supply pump on the user side to supply water to the user.

[0182] If it is determined that the water valve is not currently turned on at the user's side, a control signal is output to shut down the water supply pump at the user's side, thus stopping the water supply to the user.
