[0052] The present invention also provides a control method for a multi-mode heat pump system as described above. Figure 1 The control methods include:

[0053] When the high-temperature steam demand flow is small and the temperature requirement is low, the first series-parallel switching valve 61 is closed, the second series-parallel switching valve 62 is closed, the third series-parallel switching valve 63 is opened, and the low-temperature compressor 30 is operated. The first stop valve 67 provided on the pipeline connecting the air outlet of the flash tank 34 and the air intake of the water vapor compressor 36 is closed, and the second stop valve 68 provided on the bypass pipeline 51 connecting the air outlet of the flash tank 34 and the air outlet of the water vapor compressor 36 is opened. In this mode, the refrigerant in the heat pump system can absorb heat from the first heat exchanger 10, enter the low-temperature compressor 30 to increase temperature and pressure, and then condense in the second heat exchanger 20 to release heat. The hot water flowing out of the flash tank 34 is pressurized by the water pump 38 and enters the second heat exchanger 20 to absorb heat and increase temperature, and then enters the flash tank 34 for flash evaporation. The high-temperature water vapor generated by flash evaporation leaves from the outlet of the flash tank 34 and is supplied to users through the bypass pipeline 51.

[0054] When the high-temperature steam demand flow is large and the temperature requirement is low, the first series-parallel switching valve 61 is opened, the second series-parallel switching valve 62 is closed, and the third series-parallel switching valve 63 is opened, and the low-temperature compressor 30 and the high-temperature compressor 32 are operated in parallel. The first stop valve 67 is closed and the second stop valve 68 is opened. In this mode, after the refrigerant in the heat pump system absorbs heat from the first heat exchanger 10, one path enters the low-temperature compressor 30, and the other path passes through the first series-parallel switching valve 61 and enters the high-temperature compressor 32. At this time, the low-temperature compressor 30 and the high-temperature compressor 32 are operated in parallel. Subsequently, the refrigerant is heated and pressurized and condensed in the second heat exchanger 20 to release heat. The hot water flowing out of the flash tank 34 is pressurized by the water pump 38 and enters the second heat exchanger 20 to absorb heat and heat up, and then enters the flash tank 34 for flash evaporation. The high-temperature water vapor generated by flash evaporation leaves from the outlet of the flash tank 34 and is supplied to users through the bypass pipe 51.

[0055] When the high-temperature steam demand flow is small and the temperature requirement is high, the first series-parallel switching valve 61 is closed, the second series-parallel switching valve 62 is opened, and the third series-parallel switching valve 63 is closed, and the low-temperature compressor 30 and the high-temperature compressor 32 are operated in series. The first stop valve 67 is closed and the second stop valve 68 is opened. In this mode, the refrigerant in the heat pump system absorbs heat from the first heat exchanger 10 and enters the low-temperature compressor 30, and then enters the high-temperature compressor 32 through the second series-parallel switching valve 62, and condenses and releases heat in the second heat exchanger 20 after being heated and pressurized. The hot water flowing out of the flash tank 34 enters the second heat exchanger 20 after being pressurized by the water pump 38 to absorb heat and heat, and then enters the flash tank 34 for flash evaporation. The high-temperature water vapor generated by flash evaporation leaves the outlet of the flash tank 34 and is supplied to users through the bypass pipe 51. In some embodiments, when the high-temperature steam demand flow is small and the temperature requirement is high, the third solenoid valve 66 arranged on the pipe connecting the outlet of the second heat release pipe 21 and the compression chamber of the high-temperature compressor 32 is opened. At this time, part of the refrigerant flowing out of the second heat exchanger 20 enters the compression chamber of the high-temperature stage compressor 32, thereby reducing the temperature in the compression chamber.

[0056] When the high-temperature steam demand flow is large and the temperature requirement is high, the first series-parallel switching valve 61 is opened, the second series-parallel switching valve 62 is closed, and the third series-parallel switching valve 63 is opened, and the low-temperature compressor 30 and the high-temperature compressor 32 are operated in parallel. The first stop valve 67 is opened, the second stop valve 68 is closed, and the water vapor compressor 36 is operated. In this mode, the refrigerant in the heat pump system absorbs heat from the first heat exchanger 10, enters the low-temperature compressor 30 in one way, and enters the high-temperature compressor 32 in the other way after passing through the first series-parallel switching valve 61. Subsequently, the refrigerant is heated and pressurized and condensed in the second heat exchanger 20 to release heat. The hot water flowing out of the flash tank 34 is pressurized by the water pump 38 and enters the second heat exchanger 20 to absorb heat and heat, and then enters the flash tank 34 for flash evaporation. The high-temperature water vapor generated by flash evaporation leaves from the outlet of the flash tank 34. At this time, the second stop valve 68 is closed, the first stop valve 67 is opened, and the high-temperature water vapor generated by flash evaporation enters the air intake of the water vapor compressor 36, and is supplied to users after being heated and pressurized.

[0057] Preferably, the multi-mode heat pump system includes a first pressure gauge 71, a first temperature gauge 72 and / or a first flow meter 73. The first pressure gauge 71 and / or the first temperature gauge 72 are arranged on a pipe connecting the outlet of the second heat absorption pipe 22 and the water inlet of the flash tank 34, and the first flow meter 73 is arranged on a pipe near the outlet of the water pump 38. When the monitoring value of the first pressure gauge 71, the first temperature gauge 72 and / or the first flow meter 73 is greater than a preset value, the speed of the water pump 38 is reduced, and when the monitoring value of the first pressure gauge 71, the first temperature gauge 72 and / or the first flow meter 73 is less than the preset value, the speed of the water pump 38 is increased.
