Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air source heat pumps, and in particular to a water storage tank for an air source heat pump and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The air source heat pump water storage tank plays a vital role in the system, primarily to extend equipment life, reduce energy consumption, and improve system stability and efficiency. By increasing the system's water capacity, the water storage tank effectively stores hot and cold energy, reducing frequent startups of the main unit and ultimately saving energy and electricity.

[0003] The structure of the air source heat pump water storage tank in the prior art is usually an integral accommodating cavity structure. For example, a Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN116002244B discloses a water storage tank for an air source heat pump, which has only one water storage cavity. When the tank body is depressurized, although the hot steam in the tank can be stored in the pressure tank, the gas in the pressure tank can be sucked back when the water is released to reduce heat energy consumption, but the hot steam is limited by the thermal insulation performance of the pressure tank during storage in the pressure tank. The heat energy consumption during the storage process is large, resulting in a large heat energy loss when it is sucked back into the tank body. Since most existing air source water storage tanks control the water temperature in the tank through temperature sensors, the water in the tank flows through the condenser module of the air source heat pump through the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe for heat exchange and circulation heating. When the gas is sucked back into the tank body, its temperature may drop below the water temperature, which is not conducive to the insulation of hot water.

[0004] Moreover, the structure of the single water storage chamber leads to a large temperature difference between the water in the water tank and the external ambient temperature. The heat energy of the stored water can easily be exchanged with the external heat through the heat transfer of the water storage tank body, resulting in a rapid drop in the water temperature. When using water, the hot water and cold water pipes in the single water storage chamber are mixed and temperature-adjusted to achieve the purpose of users using warm water.

[0005] As can be seen, the existing single-chamber air-source heat pump water storage tank structure requires frequent circulation of the water in the tank through the air-source heat pump's condenser module to maintain the tank temperature, which increases energy loss. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the structure and control method of the air-source heat pump water storage tank to reduce the energy loss of the air-source heat pump. Summary of the Invention

[0018] It also includes a cold water pipe, the cold water pipe is connected to the water outlet main, and the cold water pipe is connected to a fourth solenoid valve;

[0019] It also includes a water outlet temperature setting module, which is used for the user to input the water outlet temperature of the main water outlet pipe as needed;

[0020] It also includes a PLC, which is electrically connected to the first solenoid valve, the second solenoid valve, the third solenoid valve, the fourth solenoid valve, the four-way valve, the first temperature sensor, the second temperature sensor, the third temperature sensor, the first liquid level sensor, the second liquid level sensor, the third liquid level sensor and the water outlet temperature setting module.

[0021] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned water storage tank structure for the air source heat pump, a first opening is provided on the upper portion of the portion of the steam guide pipe located in the second water storage chamber.

[0022] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned water storage tank structure for the air source heat pump, a second opening is provided on the upper portion of the portion of the steam guide pipe located in the third water storage chamber.

[0023] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned water storage tank structure for the air source heat pump, the fourth solenoid valve is a three-way valve, the steam condensate water tank is connected to one end of the three-way valve through a fourth connecting pipe, and a fourth liquid level sensor is provided in the steam condensate water tank; the fourth liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the PLC.

[0024] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned water storage tank structure for the air source heat pump, the middle section of the steam guide pipe is coiled and arranged in the third water storage chamber.

[0025] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned water storage tank structure for the air source heat pump, the main water outlet pipe is also provided with a fourth temperature sensor, and the fourth temperature sensor is electrically connected to the PLC.

[0026] The present invention also provides a method for controlling the water storage tank for the air source heat pump, comprising the following steps:

[0027] Set the outlet water temperature through the outlet water temperature setting module;

[0028] If the set outlet water temperature is lower than the temperature value of the third temperature sensor, the four-way valve is controlled to adjust the third outlet pipe to connect with the main outlet pipe. At the same time, the fourth solenoid valve is controlled to adjust the opening of the cold water pipe according to the difference between the temperature value of the third temperature sensor and the set outlet water temperature, so that the cold water flowing out of the cold water pipe is mixed with the water out of the main outlet pipe, so that the water out of the main outlet pipe is close to the set outlet water temperature.

[0029] If the set outlet water temperature is higher than the temperature value of the third temperature sensor and lower than the temperature value of the second temperature sensor, the four-way valve is controlled to connect the second outlet pipe with the main outlet pipe. At the same time, the fourth solenoid valve is controlled to adjust the opening of the cold water pipe according to the difference between the temperature value of the second temperature sensor and the set outlet water temperature, so that the cold water flowing out of the cold water pipe is mixed with the water out of the main outlet pipe, so that the water out of the main outlet pipe is close to the set outlet water temperature.

[0030] If the set outlet water temperature is higher than the temperature value of the second temperature sensor and lower than the temperature value of the first temperature sensor, the four-way valve is controlled to adjust the first outlet pipe to connect with the main outlet pipe. At the same time, the fourth solenoid valve is controlled to adjust the opening of the cold water pipe according to the difference between the temperature value of the first temperature sensor and the set outlet water temperature, so that the cold water flowing out of the cold water pipe is mixed with the water out of the main outlet pipe, so that the water out of the main outlet pipe is close to the set outlet water temperature.

[0031] When the third liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level in the third water storage chamber is lower than a preset threshold, the third solenoid valve is controlled to open and close after a preset time, so that the water in the second water storage chamber enters the third water storage chamber through the second connecting pipe;

[0032] When the second liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level in the second water storage chamber is lower than a preset threshold, the second solenoid valve is controlled to open and close after a preset time, so that the water in the first water storage chamber enters the second water storage chamber through the second connecting pipe;

[0033] When the first liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level in the first water storage chamber is lower than a preset threshold, the first solenoid valve is controlled to open and close after a preset time, so that the hot water heated by the air source heat pump enters the first water storage chamber through the hot water inlet pipe.

[0034] Furthermore, in the control method of the water storage tank for the above-mentioned air source heat pump, when the fourth liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level in the steam condensation water tank is higher than a preset threshold value, the three-way valve is controlled to adjust the fourth connecting pipe to the water outlet section of the cold water pipe, and the cold water in the steam condensation water tank is passed into the main water outlet pipe to adjust the water temperature.

[0035] Furthermore, the control method for the water storage tank for the air source heat pump further includes: adjusting the opening of the fourth solenoid valve according to the temperature value sensed by the fourth temperature sensor until the temperature sensed by the fourth temperature sensor reaches a preset temperature range.

[0036] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that: by arranging the first water storage chamber, the second water storage chamber and the third water storage chamber structure which are arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside, the hot water introduced from the outside is stored in the first water storage chamber of the innermost layer, and then the liquid level of each water storage chamber changes, and the hot water is replenished from the inner water storage chamber to the outer water storage chamber in sequence. Since the third water storage chamber located on the outside has a large contact area with the inner wall of the tank, under the effect of the external room temperature difference, the water temperature in the third water storage chamber drops faster than the water temperature in the inner water storage chamber. Therefore, the water temperatures in the first water storage chamber, the second water storage chamber and the third water storage chamber will drop in sequence. Gradient water temperature, which avoids the direct heat exchange between the inner first water storage chamber and the external room temperature. The temperature difference between the first water storage chamber and the second water storage chamber is small, so the water in the first water storage chamber can be kept warm for a long time. Since users do not use high-temperature hot water when using water, but choose to output hot water of different temperatures according to different purposes, in the prior art, hot water is usually drawn out from a water tank with a single water storage chamber and mixed with tap water close to room temperature to adjust the water temperature. Since the water temperature inside the water tank with a single water storage chamber is uniform, when the water temperature in the water tank drops to a lower temperature, high-temperature hot water cannot be used. If needed When taking high-temperature water, the water in the entire water tank needs to be circulated and heated, which increases energy consumption and the waiting time of the heating process. Since the present invention has a three-layer water storage chamber structure from the inside to the outside, the water temperature gradient decreases from the inside to the outside, so that the first water tank is continuously kept warm to meet the demand for taking high-temperature water. When low-temperature water is needed, water can be mixed with the cold water pipe from the second or third water storage chamber according to the water temperature. The water in the third water storage chamber is supplemented by the water in the second water storage chamber, and the water in the second water storage chamber is supplemented by the water in the first water storage chamber. When the water in the first water storage chamber is insufficient, The hot water generated by the air source heat pump is directly introduced into the first water storage chamber for storage. On the other hand, the steam pressure generated by the high-temperature water in the water storage tank body is guided to the steam condensation water tank through the steam guide pipe for pressure relief. During the steam diversion process, heat exchange can be carried out with the water in the third water storage chamber through the steam guide pipe, and the residual heat of the steam is fully utilized to heat the water in the third water storage chamber. The condensed water formed by the steam cooling is stored in the steam condensation water tank for standby use as cold water to neutralize the water temperature. The combination of the above solutions can save energy loss of the air energy heat pump and meet the user's needs for ready-to-use water at different water temperatures.

[0066] A specific embodiment of the present invention also relates to a control method for the water storage tank for the air source heat pump, comprising the following steps:

[0067] Set the outlet water temperature through the outlet water temperature setting module;

[0068] If the set outlet water temperature is lower than the temperature value of the third temperature sensor 131, the four-way valve 71 is controlled to adjust the third outlet pipe 133 to connect with the main outlet pipe 7. At the same time, the fourth solenoid valve 61 is controlled to adjust the opening of the cold water pipe 6 according to the difference between the temperature value of the third temperature sensor 131 and the set outlet water temperature, so that the cold water flowing out of the cold water pipe 6 is mixed with the water out of the main outlet pipe 7, so that the water out of the main outlet pipe 7 is close to the set outlet water temperature.

[0069] If the set outlet water temperature is higher than the temperature value of the third temperature sensor 131 and lower than the temperature value of the second temperature sensor 121, the four-way valve 71 is controlled to adjust the second outlet pipe 123 to connect with the main outlet pipe 7. At the same time, the fourth solenoid valve 61 is controlled to adjust the opening of the cold water pipe 6 according to the difference between the temperature value of the second temperature sensor 121 and the set outlet water temperature, so that the cold water flowing out of the cold water pipe 6 is mixed with the water out of the main outlet pipe 7, so that the water out of the main outlet pipe 7 is close to the set outlet water temperature.

[0070] If the set outlet water temperature is higher than the temperature value of the second temperature sensor 121 and lower than the temperature value of the first temperature sensor 111, the four-way valve 71 is controlled to adjust the first water outlet pipe 113 to connect with the main water outlet pipe 7. At the same time, the fourth solenoid valve 61 is controlled to adjust the opening of the cold water pipe 6 according to the difference between the temperature value of the first temperature sensor 111 and the set outlet water temperature, so that the cold water flowing out of the cold water pipe 6 is mixed with the water out of the main water outlet pipe 7, so that the water out of the main water outlet pipe 7 is close to the set outlet water temperature.

[0071] When the third liquid level sensor 132 detects that the liquid level in the third water storage chamber 13 is lower than a preset threshold, the third solenoid valve 41 is controlled to open and close after a preset time, so that the water in the second water storage chamber 12 enters the third water storage chamber 13 through the second connecting pipe 4;

[0072] When the second liquid level sensor 122 detects that the liquid level in the second water storage chamber 12 is lower than a preset threshold, the second solenoid valve 31 is controlled to open and close after a preset time, so that the water in the first water storage chamber 11 enters the second water storage chamber 12 through the second connecting pipe 4;

[0073] When the first liquid level sensor 112 detects that the liquid level in the first water storage chamber 11 is lower than a preset threshold, the first solenoid valve 21 is controlled to open and close after a preset time, so that the hot water heated by the air source heat pump enters the first water storage chamber 11 through the hot water inlet pipe 2.

[0074] As a preferred embodiment, in the control method of the water storage tank for the above-mentioned air source heat pump, when the fourth liquid level sensor 54 detects that the liquid level in the steam condensate water tank 5 is higher than the preset threshold value, the three-way valve is controlled to adjust the fourth connecting pipe to the water outlet section of the cold water pipe 6, and the cold water in the steam condensate water tank 5 is passed into the main water outlet pipe 7 for adjusting the water temperature.

[0075] As a preferred embodiment, the control method of the water storage tank for the above-mentioned air source heat pump further includes: adjusting the opening of the fourth solenoid valve 61 according to the temperature value sensed by the fourth temperature sensor 72 until the temperature sensed by the fourth temperature sensor 72 reaches a preset temperature range.

[0076] In the above embodiment, it should be noted that, assuming that the temperature of the water introduced into the first water storage chamber 11 after being heated by the air source heat pump is 85°C, the temperature of the water in the second water storage chamber 12 will drop to approximately 70°C, and the temperature of the water in the third water storage chamber 13 will drop to approximately 50°C. These temperatures are not fixed and are related to the sizes of the first, second, and third water storage chambers 11, 12, and 13, the insulation material and thickness of the water storage tank body 1, the water level in each water storage chamber, the ambient room temperature, and the water storage time. When a user needs water at 80°C, the four-way valve 71 is first controlled to connect the first water outlet pipe 113 and the main water outlet pipe 7. The opening of the fourth solenoid valve 61 is then adjusted to adjust the final outlet water temperature to between 79°C and 81°C. When a user needs water at 40°C, the four-way valve 71 is first controlled to connect the third water outlet pipe 133 and the main water outlet pipe 7. The opening of the fourth solenoid valve 61 is then adjusted to adjust the final outlet water temperature to between 39°C and 41°C.

[0077] In the above embodiment, the low liquid level threshold sensed by the first liquid level sensor 112, the second liquid level sensor 122, the third liquid level sensor 132, and the fourth liquid level sensor 54 is approximately between one-fifth and one-quarter of the container height. For example, when the liquid level in the third water storage chamber 13 drops to one-third of the liquid level, the third solenoid valve 41 is triggered to open. At this time, the second water storage chamber 12 and the third water storage chamber 13 form a U-shaped tube, and the water in the second water storage chamber 12 with a high liquid level is replenished into the third water storage chamber 13 due to the liquid level difference until the water levels in the third water storage chamber 13 and the second water storage chamber 12 are equal.

When the third liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level in the third water storage chamber is lower than a preset threshold, the third solenoid valve is controlled to open and close after a preset time, so that the water in the second water storage chamber enters the third water storage chamber through the second connecting pipe; When the second liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level in the second water storage chamber is lower than a preset threshold, the second solenoid valve is controlled to open and close after a preset time, so that the water in the first water storage chamber enters the second water storage chamber through the second connecting pipe; When the first liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level in the first water storage chamber is lower than a preset threshold, the first solenoid valve is controlled to open and close after a preset time, so that the hot water heated by the air source heat pump enters the first water storage chamber through the hot water inlet pipe.

8. The control method for a water storage tank for an air source heat pump according to claim 7, characterized in that: When the fourth liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level in the steam condensate tank is higher than the preset threshold, the three-way valve is controlled to adjust the fourth connecting pipe to the outlet section of the cold water pipe, and the cold water in the steam condensate tank is passed into the main outlet pipe to adjust the water temperature.

9. The control method for a water storage tank for an air source heat pump according to claim 7, characterized in that: Also includes: The opening of the fourth solenoid valve is adjusted according to the temperature value sensed by the fourth temperature sensor until the temperature sensed by the fourth temperature sensor reaches a preset temperature range.
