Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of air source heat pump equipment, and specifically relates to an integrated air source heat pump water machine. Background Art
[0002] In an air source heat pump system, a heat exchanger is a key component for realizing heat exchange, and its performance directly affects the operating efficiency of the entire system. However, traditional heat exchange devices usually have the problem of unsatisfactory heat exchange effect, and the main reason lies in the limitation of the heat exchange contact surface.
[0003] Currently, the traditional heat exchange tube structure often relies only on a single or multiple heat exchange tubes for heat exchange operations. The heat exchange tubes are usually a long straight tube or a simply bent pipe, and are distributed at a uniform spacing and in a fixed arrangement. This single heat exchange tube structure enables heat exchange to occur only on the limited surface of the tube, restricting the surface area participating in heat exchange. In a limited space, its maximum heat exchange potential cannot be fully utilized, resulting in a great constraint on the overall heat exchange capacity and making it impossible to achieve efficient heat exchange with the surrounding medium (such as water body), thus making it difficult to meet the requirements of efficient energy exchange.
[0004] Therefore, an integrated air source heat pump water machine is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In the above technical solution, preferably, it further includes a partition plate provided in the accommodating cavity. There are flow areas between the opposite sides of the partition plate and the accommodating cavity. The partition plate divides the accommodating cavity into an upper cavity and a lower cavity. The main heat exchange pipe and the auxiliary heat exchange pipe are arranged from the inside of the upper cavity through the flow area to the inside of the lower cavity.
[0010] In the above technical solution, preferably, it further includes a guide fan provided in the flow area. The guide fan is rotatably provided on the partition plate.
[0011] In the above technical solution, preferably, both the main heat exchange pipe and the auxiliary heat exchange pipe are arranged in a serpentine shape. Connecting pipes and convection fan members are provided between the two ends of the main heat exchange pipe and the auxiliary heat exchange pipe and the refrigerant inlet box and the refrigerant outlet box.
[0012] In the above technical solution, preferably, the connecting pipe includes a first pipe and a second pipe. A convection pipe is rotatably provided between the first pipe and the second pipe. The convection fan member is provided on the convection pipe.

Detailed Description of the Invention
[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0019] As Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 shown, the present invention provides an integral air source heat pump water machine, including: A main machine housing 1 with an accommodation cavity 2 for accommodating water therein; A heat exchange pipe fitting 3 disposed in the accommodation cavity 2 in contact with the water body, and a refrigerant flows through its interior to exchange heat with the water body; Specifically, the main machine housing 1 further includes an assembly cavity for installing equipment such as compressors and fans. The assembly cavity is arranged above the accommodation cavity. This part mainly provides a stable installation space for key equipment such as compressors and fans to ensure that these equipment can operate normally within the main machine housing and play their important roles such as compression and ventilation and heat dissipation in the heat pump system. Therefore, no excessive indexing and detailed description are made for it; By arranging the heat exchange pipe fitting 3 in the accommodation cavity 2 of the main machine housing 1, the entire heat exchange system is integrated into the main machine, thereby reducing the number of system components and connecting pipes. Through reasonable design and layout of the heat exchange pipe fitting, this design can achieve efficient heat exchange in different heat exchange requirements, different scales and environments, and meet diverse user needs.
[0020] The heat exchange pipe fitting 3 includes: A main heat exchange pipe 31, on the surface of which a plurality of accommodation areas 32 are arranged in a circumferential array, and the accommodation areas 32 are centered on the axis of the main heat exchange pipe 31; Auxiliary heat exchange pipes 33, which are arranged in an array in the accommodation areas 32; Through this structural design, the number of heat exchange pipes and the total surface area are increased, so that more refrigerant can come into contact with the water body. In the limited space of the accommodation cavity 2, by increasing the number and arrangement density of the heat exchange pipes, the space is fully utilized, and a higher heat exchange efficiency per unit volume is achieved.
[0021] A refrigerant inlet box 34 for introducing the refrigerant to flow through the main heat exchange pipe 31 and the auxiliary heat exchange pipes 33; A refrigerant outlet box 35 for discharging the refrigerant after heat exchange in the main heat exchange pipe 31 and the auxiliary heat exchange pipes 33; The refrigerant inlet box 34 and the refrigerant outlet box 35 make the flow of the refrigerant in the main heat exchange pipe 31 and the auxiliary heat exchange pipes 33 more orderly, avoiding the disorder of the refrigerant flow.
[0022] As Figure 3, Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the cross-sectional structure of the main heat exchange tube 31 perpendicular to the axis is in the shape of a multi-pointed star. The area between adjacent corners of the main heat exchange tube 31 is the accommodation area 32. The auxiliary heat exchange tube 33 is arranged in the accommodation area 32 and is in close contact with the main heat exchange tube 31. The main heat exchange tube 31 and the auxiliary heat exchange tube 33 are adaptively clamped by an annular pipe clamp 36.
[0023] The multi-pointed star structure of the main heat exchange tube 31 increases the outer surface area of the heat exchange tube. Under the same volume, the main heat exchange tube 31 can have more direct contact with the surrounding water body, thus improving the heat exchange performance. Moreover, by utilizing the space of the main heat exchange tube 31, the auxiliary heat exchange tube 33 is reasonably arranged in the accommodation area 32 of the main heat exchange tube 31. The number of corners of the multi-pointed star of the auxiliary heat exchange tube 33 can be increased or decreased according to actual needs, and more refrigerant can also perform heat exchange with the water body in a smaller space, effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency per unit volume. More heat transfer can be achieved in the same space, enhancing the heat exchange performance.
[0024] And through the annular pipe clamp 36, each component forms a stable structure, preventing the displacement or loosening between the heat exchange tubes caused by factors such as the flow of fluid and the vibration of the equipment.
[0025] As Figures 2 to 3 shown, it also includes a docking pipe 4 connected to the main heat exchange tube 31 and the auxiliary heat exchange tube 33. A convection fan member 5 that rotates circumferentially along the axis of the docking pipe 4 is provided on the docking pipe 4. The convection fan member 5 is used to guide the flow of the water body.
[0026] The design of the docking pipe 4 and the convection fan member 5 can actively stir and guide the water body, causing the water body to flow. Compared with natural convection, it can significantly enhance the flow velocity and flow uniformity of the water body, enabling the water body areas that may originally be relatively static or have slow flow to also participate in the heat exchange process, avoiding local heat exchange dead zones in the water body. The water body can fully contact the main heat exchange tube 31 and the auxiliary heat exchange tube 33, thereby breaking the laminar flow state of the water body and forming a turbulent flow, increasing the mass transfer and heat transfer coefficients of the heat exchange, and improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0027] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, it also includes a partition plate 6 arranged in the accommodation cavity 2. There are flow-through areas 7 between the opposite sides of the partition plate 6 and the accommodation cavity 2. The partition plate 6 divides the accommodation cavity 2 into an upper cavity and a lower cavity. The main heat exchange tube 31 and the auxiliary heat exchange tube 33 are arranged from the upper cavity through the flow-through area 7 to the inside of the lower cavity.
[0028] This structure helps to guide the overall flow direction of the water flow. After flowing through the upper cavity, the water flow enters the lower cavity through the flow-through area 7, forming an orderly flow path, avoiding the disorderly flow of the water flow, and enabling the water flow to circulate and fully contact the heat exchange tubes in different chambers.
[0029] As shown Figure 4 in the figure, it further includes a flow guiding fan 8 arranged in the circulation area 7, and the flow guiding fan 8 is rotatably arranged on the partition plate 6.
[0030] When the water flow passes through the flow guiding fan 8, the flow guiding fan 8 will conduct secondary flow guiding on the water flow, making the water flow more evenly distributed, avoiding the problems of too fast or too slow water flow around some heat exchange tubes caused by uneven water flow distribution, ensuring that the heat exchange tubes at different positions can uniformly conduct heat exchange, and improving the uniformity of heat exchange.
[0031] As shown Figure 1 and Figure 3 in the figure, the main heat exchange tube 31 and the secondary heat exchange tube 33 are both arranged in a serpentine shape, and docking pipes 4 and convection fan components 5 are arranged between the two ends of the main heat exchange tube 31 and the secondary heat exchange tube 33 and the refrigerant inlet box 34 and the refrigerant outlet box 35.
[0032] The serpentine arrangement can extend the flow path of the refrigerant in the heat exchange tube. Compared with the straight heat exchange tube, the bent structure of the serpentine tube increases the flow distance of the refrigerant in the tube, extends the time for the refrigerant to exchange heat with the surrounding water body, and effectively improves the sufficiency of heat exchange; and by arranging the docking pipes 4 and the convection fan components 5 at both ends, the flow path of the water body can be effectively guided and controlled, avoiding the phenomenon of water flow stagnation or short circuit at some parts.
[0033] Specifically, the docking pipes 4 and the convection fan components 5 can also be arranged on any section of the main heat exchange tube 31 and the secondary heat exchange tube 33, as long as their guiding effect is consistent with the water flow direction.
[0034] As shown Figure 7 in the figure, the docking pipe 4 includes a first pipe 41 and a second pipe 42, a convection pipe 43 is rotatably arranged between the first pipe 41 and the second pipe 42, the convection fan component 5 is arranged on the convection pipe 43, and the refrigerant flows through the first pipe 41, the convection pipe 43 and the second pipe 42, driving the convection fan component 5 to rotate as the refrigerant fluid flows.
[0035] The convection fan component 5 includes: a follower rotating blade 51 arranged on the inner wall of the convection pipe 43, and the follower rotating blade 51 and the convection pipe 43 are driven to rotate as the refrigerant fluid flows; a convection fan blade 52 arranged on the outer wall of the convection pipe 43, and the convection fan blade 52 rotates synchronously with the convection pipe 43 to drive the water body to flow.
[0036] This design utilizes the flowing energy of the refrigerant and does not require an additional power source to drive the convection fan component 5. When the refrigerant flows in the pipe, it drives the follower rotating blade 51 on the inner wall of the convection pipe 43 to rotate, and then drives the convection pipe 43 itself to rotate, enabling the convection fan component 5 to work automatically and realizing the automatic drive of the fluid.
[0037] As shownFigure 8 As shown in the figure, annular assembly shells 44 are provided on opposite sides of the first pipe 41 and the second pipe 42. The convection pipe 43 is rotatably arranged in the annular assembly shell 44 through a bearing. Two annular docking shells 45 are provided on the convection pipe 43. The adjacent annular assembly shell 44 and the annular docking shell 45 are clamped by a convex block 46 and a groove 47. A sealing gasket 48 sleeved on the outer side of the convection pipe 43 is provided between the bearing and the annular assembly shell 44.
[0038] Specifically, there are multiple convex blocks 46 and grooves 47 that are clamped with each other and are arranged parallel to the convection pipe 43. They form multiple sealing interfaces between the adjacent annular assembly shell 44 and the annular docking shell 45. By increasing the contact area and the sealing interfaces, and further cooperating with the sealing gasket 48, a collaborative seal is formed to provide a reliable sealing function.
[0039] The working principle and usage process of the present invention: The refrigerant is introduced into the first pipe 41, the second pipe 42, the convection pipe 43, the main heat exchange pipe 31 and the auxiliary heat exchange pipe 33 through the refrigerant inlet box 34. The refrigerant flows in the main heat exchange pipe 31 and the auxiliary heat exchange pipe 33 and exchanges heat with the water body in the accommodation cavity 2.
[0040] The flow of the refrigerant in the first pipe 41, the second pipe 42 and the convection pipe 43 will drive the follower vanes 51 on the inner wall of the convection pipe 43 to rotate, and then drive the convection pipe 43 itself to rotate. The rotation of the convection pipe 43 drives the convection fan blades 52 on its outer wall to rotate synchronously. The convection fan blades 52 start to guide the water body in the accommodation cavity 2 to promote the flow of the water body.
[0041] Moreover, the water body flows from the upper cavity of the accommodation cavity into the circulation area 7 and then into the lower cavity to realize the circulating flow of the water body between the upper and lower cavities. During the flowing process, the guide fan 8 in the circulation area 7 also starts to rotate under the push of the water flow to further guide the flow direction of the water flow, so that the water flow flows between the upper and lower cavities along a predetermined path; After exchanging heat with the water body, the refrigerant continues to flow and is finally exported through the refrigerant outlet box 35 to complete the entire heat exchange process.
[0042] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.
[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
