[0039] To solve the above technical problems, refer to Figs. 1-3The application provides an air source heat pump system, which comprises a primary air source heat pump system, a secondary air source heat pump system and a water storage tank 7, the primary air source heat pump system and the secondary air source heat pump system are arranged to heat circulating water in the water storage tank 7 in a single heating mode or a combined heating mode, and in the combined heating mode, the circulating water heated by the primary air source heat pump system is heated again by the secondary air source heat pump system and then delivered to users.

[0040] In the above embodiment, after the circulating water in the water storage tank 7 is heated by the primary air source heat pump system, the heated circulating water is heated again by the secondary air source heat pump system, which provides a water temperature rising condition for the secondary air source heat pump system to generate high-temperature water and helps the secondary air source heat pump system to generate high-temperature water.

[0041] In one embodiment, the air source heat pump system further comprises a first refrigerant pipeline 13 and a second refrigerant pipeline 10, in the heating mode, part of the refrigerant discharged from the exhaust port of the primary air source heat pump system can be delivered to the suction port of the secondary air source heat pump system through the first refrigerant pipeline 13, and part of the refrigerant in the secondary air source heat pump system after heat exchange with the circulating water in the water storage tank 7 is delivered to the primary air source heat pump system through the second refrigerant pipeline 10, the first valve 14 is installed on the first refrigerant pipeline 13, and the second valve 11 is installed on the second refrigerant pipeline 10.

[0042] In the above embodiment, in the heating mode, part of the high-temperature gaseous refrigerant discharged from the exhaust port of the primary air source heat pump system enters the suction port of the secondary air source heat pump system through the first refrigerant pipeline 13, which improves the refrigerant temperature of the suction port in the compression process of the secondary air source heat pump system, provides medium-high temperature gaseous refrigerant for rapid start of the secondary air source heat pump system, rapidly realizes pressure balance of the unit, reduces the start time of the secondary compression, and has the effect of supplementing refrigerant for the secondary air source heat pump system.

After passing through the variable-diameter nozzle, the gaseous refrigerant realizes high-speed flow, and the pressure decreases after the nozzle. The pressure in the evaporator of the secondary air source heat pump system in the heating mode is relatively high, so the low-temperature gaseous refrigerant at the outlet end of the evaporator in the secondary air source heat pump system in the heating mode is injected into the Venturi ejector 2, thereby creating lower negative pressure in the evaporator inside the secondary air source heat pump system, enabling the two-phase refrigerant in the evaporator in the compression process of the secondary air source heat pump system to absorb more heat in the ambient temperature, and enabling more low-pressure liquid refrigerant to flash into low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, thereby ensuring the dryness of the gaseous refrigerant and being conducive to generating high capacity of the secondary air source heat pump system.

The other end of the first refrigerant pipeline 13 is communicated with the suction port of the secondary compressor 16.

[0048] In one embodiment, the second heat exchange assembly comprises a second heat exchanger 15, a third heat exchanger 18 and a second four-way valve 17, the exhaust port of the secondary compressor 16 is communicated with the first end of the third heat exchanger 18 through the second four-way valve 17 and the second heat exchanger 15, the second end of the third heat exchanger 18 is communicated with the suction port of the secondary compressor 16 through the second four-way valve 17, the other end of the second refrigerant pipeline 10 is connected with the second end of the third heat exchanger 18, and the third heat exchanger 18 is an evaporator in the heating mode. The second heat exchanger 15 can be a double-pipe heat exchanger, and the third heat exchanger 18 can be a plate heat exchanger. The circulating water in the water storage tank 7 enters the second heat exchanger 15 to exchange heat and is then transported to the circulating water outlet 8 of the water storage tank 7, and the user obtains hot water or cold water from the circulating water outlet 8.

[0049] Specifically, the exhaust port of the secondary compressor 16 is connected with the second four-way valve 17 through a pipeline, the second four-way valve 17 is connected with the second heat exchanger 15 through a pipeline, the second heat exchanger 15 is connected with the third heat exchanger 18 through a pipeline, the third heat exchanger 18 is connected with the second four-way valve 17 through a pipeline, and the second four-way valve 17 is connected with the suction port of the secondary compressor 16 through a pipeline. An electromagnetic expansion valve is installed on the pipeline between the second heat exchanger 15 and the third heat exchanger 18.

A one-way valve is installed on the pipeline between the second four-way valve 17 and the suction port of the secondary compressor 16.

[0050] In one embodiment, the waste heat recovery assembly comprises a temperature-sensitive control valve 20, a fourth heat exchanger 21 and a first pipeline 19. The temperature-sensitive control valve 20, the fourth heat exchanger 21 and a sixth valve 22 are sequentially installed on the first pipeline 19 according to the flow direction of the refrigerant. One end of the first pipeline 19 is communicated with the refrigerant outlet end of the second heat exchanger 15, and the other end of the first pipeline 19 is communicated with the first end of the third heat exchanger 18. The refrigerant after passing through the second four-way valve 17 exchanges heat with the fourth heat exchanger 21 and then enters the suction port of the secondary compressor 16. A capillary tube is installed on the first pipeline 19 between the fourth heat exchanger 21 and the sixth valve 22, and the fourth heat exchanger 21 can be a shell heat exchanger. In the heating mode, the refrigerant in the first refrigerant pipeline 13 exchanges heat with the fourth heat exchanger 21 and then enters the suction port of the secondary compressor 16. In the heating mode, the temperature of the gaseous refrigerant increases after passing through the fourth heat exchanger 21. A one-way valve is installed on the first pipeline 19 between the temperature-sensitive control valve 20 and the second heat exchanger 15.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the temperature difference of the refrigerant entering the fourth heat exchanger 21 and the refrigerant after leaving the fourth heat exchanger 21 is regulated by adjusting the opening of the temperature sensing control valve 20, so as to regulate the suction superheat degree, which can effectively prevent the compressor from backflowing in the low-temperature heating mode, thereby ensuring the exhaust superheat degree and providing the basic condition for the unit to provide high capacity, and the refrigerant waste heat after passing through the second heat exchanger 15 is recycled, thereby improving the energy utilization rate, and the refrigerant waste heat is exchanged with the refrigerant before entering the suction port of the secondary compressor 16, thereby increasing the refrigerant temperature of the suction port of the secondary compressor 16, creating a high-capacity basic condition for the secondary compressor 16, which is helpful for the secondary compressor 16 to generate high capacity.

[0053] In the above embodiment, when the secondary air source heat pump system is refrigerating, part of the refrigerant enters the first heat exchanger 4, so that the first heat exchanger 4 and the third heat exchanger 18 jointly perform heat exchange, thereby increasing the heat exchange area and ensuring the refrigeration capacity.

[0054] It should be noted that the value of the starting and rising to the highest frequency of the primary compressor 1 is less than the value of the starting and rising to the highest frequency of the secondary compressor 16.

[0055] The working principle of the present application is as follows: in the heating mode, the fourth valve 6 and the fifth valve 23 are in the closed state, the secondary air source heat pump system does not work when the primary air source heat pump system is in the single heating mode, at this time, the first valve 14, the second valve, the sixth valve 22 and the temperature sensing control valve 20 are in the closed state, and the third valve 5 is in the open state, specifically, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the exhaust port of the primary compressor 1 enters the heat exchange coil through the first four-way valve 3 after passing through the Venturi ejector 2, exchanges heat with the circulating water in the water storage tank 7, so as to increase the temperature of the circulating water, and the refrigerant in the heat exchange coil becomes low-pressure liquid, which becomes low-pressure liquid refrigerant after passing through the electronic expansion valve, and then becomes low-pressure gaseous refrigerant after passing through the first heat exchanger 4, and then flows back to the suction port of the primary compressor 1 through the first four-way valve 3 to complete the single heating mode.

[0056] When the secondary air source heat pump system is in the single heating mode, the primary air source heat pump system is not working, at this time, the first valve 14, the second valve and the third valve 5 are in the closed state, the sixth valve 22 and the temperature sensing control valve 20 are opened, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the exhaust port of the secondary compressor 16 is transported to the second heat exchanger 15 through the second four-way valve 17 to exchange heat with the circulating water, part of the refrigerant after heat exchange is transported to the third heat exchanger 18 through the first pipeline 19, and the other part is transported to the third heat exchanger 18 through the electronic expansion valve, the refrigerant passing through the third heat exchanger 18 is low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and then enters the suction port of the secondary compressor 16 through the second four-way valve 17, and exchanges heat with the fourth heat exchanger 21 before entering the suction port, thereby improving the temperature of the refrigerant in the suction port, and the single heating mode is completed.
