Moreover, the third heat exchange branch 300 flows through the heat storage water tank 50, so that the exhaust refrigerant temperature of the compressor 10 is reduced to a suitable value by the heat storage water tank 50, thereby avoiding damage to the floor or scalding of the user, and being beneficial to protecting the actual use experience of the user.

[0036] Optionally, the heat pump system further comprises a fourth heat exchange pipeline 400. The fourth heat exchange pipeline 400 is in communication with the third heat exchange pipeline 300 flowing out of the heat storage water tank 50 at one end and in communication with the inlet pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 at the other end. A fourth control valve 64 is arranged on the fourth heat exchange branch 400, and a fifth control valve 65 is arranged on the third heat exchange pipeline 300 flowing out of the heat storage water tank 50.

In this way, the fifth heat exchange pipeline 500 can be arranged in parallel with the third heat exchange pipeline 300 to increase the heat exchange area with the heat storage water tank 50, which is beneficial to improving the heat exchange effect of the heat storage water tank 50, so that the temperature of the refrigerant flowing into the floor heating capillary 40 can be reduced to a suitable value, avoiding damage to the floor or scalding of the user, and being beneficial to protecting the actual use experience of the user.

[0039] Optionally, the heat pump system further comprises a throttling valve 70. The throttling valve 70 is arranged in the inlet pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger 20. In this way, when the heat pump system operates in the heating mode, the evaporating pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 can be adjusted by controlling the opening degree of the throttling valve 70, so that the refrigerant entering the outdoor heat exchanger 20 evaporates and absorbs heat at the required low pressure, thereby ensuring the heating effect of the heat pump system.

[0040] Optionally, the heat pump system further comprises a first stop valve 71 and a second stop valve 72. The first stop valve 71 is arranged in the exhaust pipeline of the compressor 10, and the second stop valve 72 is arranged in the inlet pipeline of the outdoor heat exchanger 20. In this way, by arranging the first stop valve 71 and the second stop valve 72, the gas pipe and the liquid pipe of the heat pump system can be completely closed or opened, which is beneficial to ensure the reliable operation of the heat pump system.

[0041] Optionally, the heat pump system further comprises a first check valve 73 and a second check valve 74. The first check valve 73 is arranged in the outlet pipeline of the floor heating capillary tube 40, for limiting the one-way flow of the refrigerant from the floor heating capillary tube 40 to the outdoor heat exchanger 20. The second check valve 74 is arranged in the fourth heat exchange branch 400, for limiting the one-way flow of the refrigerant from the heat storage water tank 50 to the outdoor heat exchanger 20. In this way, by arranging the first check valve 73 and the second check valve 74, the reverse flow of the refrigerant can be prevented, which is beneficial to ensure the reliable operation of the heat pump system.

[0042] Optionally, the heat pump system further comprises a four-way valve 80. The four-way valve 80 has four interfaces, which are respectively connected with the exhaust port of the compressor 10, the suction port of the compressor 10, the outdoor heat exchanger 20, and the first heat exchange branch 100 and / or the second heat exchange branch 200 and / or the third heat exchange branch 300. In this way, the heat pump system can be switched between the cooling mode and the heating mode by the four-way valve 80, so as to meet the actual needs of the user.

[0043] Optionally, the heat pump system further comprises a liquid accumulator 90. The liquid accumulator 90 is arranged in the refrigerant pipeline between the four-way valve 80 and the suction port of the compressor 10. In this way, by arranging the liquid accumulator 90 in the suction pipeline of the compressor 10, the phenomenon of liquid hammer caused by the flow of liquid refrigerant back to the compressor 10 can be avoided, which is beneficial to ensure the reliable operation of the heat pump system.

[0044] Optionally, the fourth control valve 64, the fifth control valve 65 and the sixth control valve 66 are all solenoid valves. In this way, by controlling the on-off state of the above-mentioned solenoid valves, the refrigerant flow direction in the heat pump system can be reasonably controlled.

[0045] Optionally, the first control valve 61, the second control valve 62, the third control valve 63 and the throttling valve 70 are all electronic expansion valves. In this way, by controlling the opening degree of the above-mentioned electronic expansion valves, the refrigerant flow in the pipeline can be controlled to accurately match the load demand of the heat pump system.

[0046] Optionally, in combination with Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 6, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a pipeline connection schematic diagram of the heat pump system running in the first heating mode. Specifically, in the first heating mode, the first control valve 61 and the second control valve 62 are controlled to be opened, and the third control valve 63 is controlled to be closed. At the same time, the fourth control valve 64 and the fifth control valve 65 are controlled to be closed. In this way, the refrigerant discharged by the compressor 10 flows through the air conditioning heat exchanger 30 and the floor heating capillary tube 40 at the same time, so that the air conditioning and the floor heating can be operated in parallel. At this time, the heat pump system uses part of the refrigerant to ensure the heating effect of the air conditioning heat exchanger 30, and uses another part of the refrigerant to ensure the heating effect of the floor heating capillary tube 40, so that the heating efficiency of the heat pump system can be effectively improved, and the heating comfort of the heat pump system can be fully improved.

[0047] Optionally, in combination with Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 7, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a pipeline connection schematic diagram of the heat pump system running in the second heating mode. Specifically, in the second heating mode, the first control valve 61 and the third control valve 63 are controlled to be opened, and the second control valve 62 is controlled to be closed. At the same time, the fourth control valve 64 is controlled to be closed, and the fifth control valve 65 is controlled to be opened. In this way, part of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor 10 directly flows through the air conditioning heat exchanger 30, and another part of the high-temperature refrigerant flows through the heat storage water tank 50 and then flows through the floor heating capillary tube 40, so that the air conditioning and the floor heating after cooling can be operated in parallel. At this time, the heat pump system uses part of the refrigerant to ensure the heating effect of the air conditioning heat exchanger 30, and uses another part of the refrigerant to ensure the heating effect of the floor heating capillary tube 40, so that the heating comfort of the heat pump system can be fully improved, and the heating efficiency of the heat pump system can be effectively improved. Moreover, the refrigerant flowing through the floor heating capillary tube 30 obtains reasonable cooling through the heat storage water tank 50, so that the high-temperature refrigerant can be prevented from damaging the floor or scalding the user, which is beneficial to ensure the actual use experience of the user.

[0048] Optionally, in combination with Figure 5As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a schematic diagram of pipeline connection of the heat pump system running the third heating mode. Specifically, in the third heating mode, the first control valve 61 is controlled to be opened, and the second control valve 62 and the third control valve 63 are controlled to be closed. At the same time, the fourth control valve 64 and the fifth control valve 65 are controlled to be closed. In this way, the refrigerant discharged by the compressor 10 only flows through the air conditioning heat exchanger 30, so that the air conditioning alone can be realized. At this time, the heat pump system uses all the exhaust refrigerant to ensure the heating effect of the air conditioning heat exchanger 20, so that the indoor temperature can be quickly raised, which is beneficial to significantly improve the heating efficiency of the heat pump system.

[0049] Optionally, in combination with the above heat pump system, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control device for the heat pump system. Figure 6 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a schematic diagram of pipeline connection of the heat pump system running the fourth heating mode. Specifically, in the fourth heating mode, the second control valve 62 is controlled to be opened, and the first control valve 61 and the third control valve 63 are controlled to be closed. At the same time, the fourth control valve 64 and the fifth control valve 65 are controlled to be closed. In this way, the refrigerant discharged by the compressor 10 only flows through the floor heating capillary 40, so that the floor heating alone can be realized. At this time, the heat pump system uses all the exhaust refrigerant to ensure the heating effect of the floor heating capillary 30, so that the uniformity of the indoor temperature can be improved, which is beneficial to significantly improve the heating comfort of the heat pump system.

[0050] Optionally, in combination with the above heat pump system, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control device for the heat pump system. Figure 7 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a schematic diagram of pipeline connection of the heat pump system running the hot water mode. Specifically, in the hot water mode, the third control valve 63 and the fourth control valve 64 are controlled to be opened, and the first control valve 61, the second control valve 62 and the fifth control valve 65 are controlled to be closed. In this way, the high-temperature refrigerant discharged by the compressor 10 only flows through the heat storage water tank 50 for heat exchange, so that hot water can be prepared in the heat storage water tank 50 to meet the hot water demand of the user.

[0051] Optionally, the heat pump system further comprises a control device 600 for the heat pump system. The control device 600 for the heat pump system is electrically connected with the first control valve 61, the second control valve 62, the third control valve 63, the fourth control valve 64, the fifth control valve 65 and the sixth control valve 66 respectively. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can execute the corresponding control method through the control device 600, so that the heat pump system runs in the appropriate running mode.

[0052] Based on the above heat pump system, in combination with the above heat pump system, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control device for the heat pump system. Figure 8 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for a heat pump system, comprising:

[0053] S101, in the case of heating start of the heat pump system, the control device acquires the indoor environment temperature and the load working condition parameter.

[0054] S102, the control device determines a target heating mode according to the indoor environment temperature and the load condition parameter.

[0055] S103, the control device controls the heat pump system to execute the target heating mode.

[0056] The control method for the heat pump system provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can analyze the current heating demand by obtaining the indoor environment temperature and the load condition parameter. Then the embodiment of the present disclosure can match the appropriate target heating mode according to the current heating demand, and reasonably switch the refrigerant flow path of the heat pump system to realize multiple heating modes such as air conditioning alone, floor heating alone, air conditioning and floor heating in parallel, air conditioning and floor heating after cooling in parallel. Thus, the heating effects of the air conditioning part and the floor heating part can be reasonably coordinated to meet the diversified needs of users in different heating processes, which is conducive to improving the overall heating experience of users.

[0057] Optionally, the control device determines the target heating mode according to the indoor environment temperature and the load condition parameter, including: in the case that the difference between the set air conditioning temperature and the indoor environment temperature is greater than a first temperature difference value, the control device determines that the target heating mode is a third heating mode; or, in the case that the difference between the set air conditioning temperature and the indoor environment temperature is less than or equal to the first temperature difference value and greater than a second temperature difference value, the control device determines the target heating mode from the first heating mode or the second heating mode according to the load condition parameter; or, in the case that the difference between the set air conditioning temperature and the indoor environment temperature is less than or equal to the second temperature difference value, the control device determines that the target heating mode is a fourth heating mode. Wherein, the first temperature difference value is greater than the second temperature difference value.

[0058] In this way, when the difference between the set air conditioning temperature and the indoor environment temperature is greater than the first temperature difference value, it indicates that the indoor temperature is relatively low at this time, and corresponding to the initial stage of the heating process, the embodiment of the present disclosure can control the heat pump system to run in the third heating mode first, so as to quickly increase the indoor temperature in the initial stage of the heating process, so as to improve the heating efficiency of the heat pump system as much as possible.

[0059] When the difference between the set air conditioning temperature and the indoor environment temperature is less than or equal to the first temperature difference value and greater than the second temperature difference value, it indicates that the indoor temperature gradually rises at this time, and corresponding to the middle stage of the heating process, the embodiment of the present disclosure can control the heat pump system to run in the first heating mode or the second heating mode, so as to reasonably coordinate the effect of fast air conditioning temperature rising speed and the effect of good floor heating temperature uniformity. Thus, the heating efficiency of the heat pump system can be effectively improved in the middle stage of the heating process, and the heating comfort of the heat pump system can be fully improved.

[0060] When the difference between the set air-conditioning temperature and the indoor environment temperature is less than or equal to the second temperature difference value, it indicates that the indoor temperature is relatively high at this time, and the disclosed embodiments can control the heat pump system to run the fourth heating mode next, so as to preferentially improve the uniformity of the indoor temperature in the later heating process, so as to improve the heating comfort of the heat pump system as much as possible.

[0061] Optionally, the first temperature difference value can be set in combination with user identity information to better protect the comfort experience of the weak constitution group. When the user identity is an adult, a relatively smaller first temperature difference value can be set to make the heat pump system run the third heating mode more; and when the user identity is a minor, a relatively larger first temperature difference value can be set to make the heat pump system run the first heating mode or the second heating mode more.

[0062] Preferably, the first temperature difference value can be set to 6℃. The first temperature difference value can also be adjusted according to the actual needs of the user, and can also be set to 5℃ or 7℃ or other arbitrary reasonable values.

[0063] Optionally, the second temperature difference value can be set in combination with user identity information to better protect the comfort experience of the weak constitution group. When the user identity is an adult, a relatively smaller second temperature difference value can be set to make the heat pump system run the first heating mode or the second heating mode more; and when the user identity is a minor, a relatively larger second temperature difference value can be set to make the heat pump system run the fourth heating mode more.

[0064] Preferably, the second temperature difference value can be set to 3℃. The second temperature difference value can also be adjusted according to the actual needs of the user, and can also be set to 2℃ or 4℃ or other arbitrary reasonable values.

[0065] Optionally, the load working condition parameter includes the discharge temperature, the discharge pressure or the operating frequency of the compressor. In this way, the disclosed embodiments can analyze the actual load working condition of the system by detecting the above-mentioned compressor parameters, so as to avoid the situation that the high-temperature refrigerant discharged by the compressor directly flows into the floor heating system under high load working conditions, causing damage to the floor or scalding the user, and is beneficial to protect the actual use experience of the user.

[0066] Optionally, the control device determines the target heating mode from the first heating mode or the second heating mode according to the load working condition parameter, including: in the case that the discharge temperature of the compressor is less than or equal to a preset discharge temperature, the control device determines that the target heating mode is the first heating mode; or in the case that the discharge temperature of the compressor is greater than the preset discharge temperature, the control device determines that the target heating mode is the second heating mode.

[0067] In this way, when the discharge temperature of the compressor is less than or equal to the preset discharge temperature, it indicates that the system is in a low load condition at this time, and the temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is relatively low, and the risk of damaging the floor or scalding the user when the refrigerant flows through the floor heating capillary is relatively low. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can control the heat pump system to directly operate in the first heating mode, so that the refrigerant discharged by the compressor directly flows into the air conditioner heat exchanger and the floor heating capillary, thereby effectively improving the heating effect of the floor heating capillary, improving the heating efficiency of the heat pump system, and further improving the heating comfort of the heat pump system.

[0068] When the discharge temperature of the compressor is greater than the preset discharge temperature, it indicates that the system is in a high load condition at this time, and the temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is relatively high, and the risk of damaging the floor or scalding the user when the refrigerant flows through the floor heating capillary is relatively high. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can control the heat pump system to operate in the second heating mode instead, so that part of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor directly flows into the air conditioner heat exchanger, and the other part of the high-temperature refrigerant flows through the heat storage water tank first and then flows through the floor heating capillary after being cooled, thereby avoiding damaging the floor or scalding the user, and being beneficial to protecting the actual use experience of the user. The embodiment of the present disclosure can also fully improve the heating efficiency of the heat pump system and improve the heating comfort of the heat pump system to a certain extent.

[0069] Optionally, the preset discharge temperature can be set according to the actual needs of the user. Preferably, the preset discharge temperature is 70℃. The preset discharge temperature can also be set to 65℃ or 75℃ or any other reasonable value.

[0070] Optionally, the control device determines the target heating mode from the first heating mode or the second heating mode according to the load condition parameter, including: in the case that the discharge pressure of the compressor is less than or equal to the preset discharge pressure, the control device determines that the target heating mode is the first heating mode; or in the case that the operating frequency of the compressor is greater than the preset discharge pressure, the control device determines that the target heating mode is the second heating mode.

[0071] In this way, when the discharge pressure of the compressor is less than or equal to the preset discharge pressure, it indicates that the system is in a low load condition at this time, and the temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is relatively low, and the risk of damaging the floor or scalding the user when the refrigerant flows through the floor heating capillary is relatively low. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can control the heat pump system to directly operate in the first heating mode, so that the refrigerant discharged by the compressor directly flows into the air conditioner heat exchanger and the floor heating capillary, thereby effectively improving the heating effect of the floor heating capillary, improving the heating efficiency of the heat pump system, and further improving the heating comfort of the heat pump system.

[0072] When the discharge pressure of the compressor is greater than the preset discharge pressure, it indicates that the system is in a high load condition at this time, and the temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is relatively high, and the risk of damaging the floor or scalding the user when the refrigerant flows through the floor heating capillary is relatively high. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can control the heat pump system to run in the second heating mode, so that part of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor directly flows into the air conditioning heat exchanger, and the other part of the high-temperature refrigerant flows through the heat storage water tank first and then flows through the floor heating capillary after being cooled, thereby avoiding the high-temperature refrigerant from damaging the floor or scalding the user, and being beneficial to protecting the actual use experience of the user. Moreover, the embodiment of the present disclosure can also fully improve the heating efficiency of the heat pump system, and can improve the heating comfort of the heat pump system to a certain extent.

[0073] Optionally, the preset discharge pressure can be set according to the actual needs of the user. Preferably, the preset discharge pressure is 3 MPa. The preset discharge pressure can also be set to 2.8 MPa or 3.2 MPa or any other reasonable value.

[0074] Optionally, the control device determines the target heating mode from the first heating mode or the second heating mode according to the load condition parameter, including: in the case that the operating frequency of the compressor is less than or equal to the preset operating frequency, the control device determines that the target heating mode is the first heating mode; or in the case that the operating frequency of the compressor is greater than the preset operating frequency, the control device determines that the target heating mode is the second heating mode.

[0075] In this way, when the operating frequency of the compressor is less than or equal to the preset operating frequency, it indicates that the system is in a low load condition at this time, and the temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is relatively low, and the risk of damaging the floor or scalding the user when the refrigerant flows through the floor heating capillary is relatively low. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can control the heat pump system to directly run in the first heating mode, so that the refrigerant discharged by the compressor directly flows into the air conditioning heat exchanger and the floor heating capillary, thereby effectively improving the heating effect of the floor heating capillary, improving the heating efficiency of the heat pump system, and further improving the heating comfort of the heat pump system.

[0076] When the operating frequency of the compressor is greater than the preset operating frequency, it indicates that the system is in a high load condition at this time, and the temperature of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor is relatively high, and the risk of damaging the floor or scalding the user when the refrigerant flows through the floor heating capillary is relatively high. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can control the heat pump system to run in the second heating mode, so that part of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor directly flows into the air conditioning heat exchanger, and the other part of the high-temperature refrigerant flows through the heat storage water tank first and then flows through the floor heating capillary after being cooled, thereby avoiding the high-temperature refrigerant from damaging the floor or scalding the user, and being beneficial to protecting the actual use experience of the user. Moreover, the embodiment of the present disclosure can also fully improve the heating efficiency of the heat pump system, and can improve the heating comfort of the heat pump system to a certain extent.

[0077] Optionally, the preset operating frequency can be set according to actual needs of the user. Preferably, the preset operating frequency is 70 Hz. The preset operating frequency can also be set to 60 Hz or 80 Hz or any other reasonable value.

[0078] Optionally, after the control device determines that the target heating mode is the second heating mode, the control device further acquires an inlet temperature of the floor heating capillary, and controls the state of the sixth control valve according to the inlet temperature of the floor heating capillary.

[0079] In this way, when the heat pump system operates in the second heating mode, the actual inlet temperature of the floor heating capillary can be further detected, and the opening and closing state of the sixth control valve can be controlled according to the actual inlet temperature of the floor heating capillary, so that the on-off state of the fifth heat exchange branch can be determined, and the heat exchange area of the heat pump system and the heat storage water tank can be reasonably adjusted, which is beneficial to ensuring that the temperature of the refrigerant flowing into the floor heating capillary can be reduced to a suitable value, and damage to the floor or scalding of the user can be avoided.

[0080] Optionally, the control device controls the state of the sixth control valve according to the inlet temperature of the floor heating capillary, including: in the case that the inlet temperature of the floor heating capillary is greater than or equal to a preset inlet temperature, the control device controls the sixth control valve to open, so as to turn on the fifth heat exchange branch; or in the case that the inlet temperature of the floor heating capillary is less than the preset inlet temperature, the control device controls the sixth control valve to close, so as to cut off the fifth heat exchange branch.

[0081] In this way, when the inlet temperature of the floor heating capillary is greater than or equal to the preset inlet temperature, there is a risk of damage to the floor or scalding of the user. Therefore, the sixth control valve can be controlled to open, so as to turn on the fifth heat exchange branch, so that the high-temperature refrigerant discharged by the compressor can flow through the heat storage water tank for heat exchange through the third heat exchange branch and the fifth heat exchange branch at the same time. Therefore, the heat exchange area of the heat storage water tank can be increased, which is beneficial to improving the heat exchange effect of the heat pump system flowing through the heat storage water tank, and thus the temperature of the refrigerant flowing into the floor heating capillary can be reduced to a suitable value, so as to avoid damage to the floor or scalding of the user.

[0082] When the inlet temperature of the floor heating capillary is less than the preset inlet temperature, there is basically no risk of damage to the floor or scalding of the user. Therefore, the sixth control valve can be controlled to close, so as to cut off the fifth heat exchange branch, so that the high-temperature refrigerant discharged by the compressor can flow through the heat storage water tank for heat exchange through the third heat exchange branch only. Therefore, the heat exchange area of the heat storage water tank can be reduced, which is beneficial to weakening the heat exchange effect of the heat pump system flowing through the heat storage water tank, and thus the heating effect of the refrigerant flowing into the floor heating capillary can be improved, so as to improve the heating comfort of the heat pump system.

[0083] Optionally, the preset import temperature can be set according to actual needs of a user. Preferably, the preset import temperature is 45℃. The preset import temperature can also be set to 40℃ or 50℃ or any other reasonable value.
