[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and particularly to an air-conditioning heat pump unit. Background Art
[0002] During the operation of an air-conditioning heat pump unit, cold water and hot water can be produced. When the unit operates in a low-temperature and high-humidity environment or a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, condensation is likely to occur inside the electrical box. If too much condensed water accumulates, it may flow to electrical components and the substrate, resulting in short-circuit failure of the electronic control module or even causing fires. Once the electronic control components fail, the unit cannot operate, the comfort level decreases, and the user experience is affected.
[0003] Currently, to solve this problem, the temperature exchange between the inside and outside of the electrical box is often isolated by pasting a thermal insulation layer to solve the condensation problem of the electrical box 9. In addition, when the air-conditioning heat pump unit is operating in the refrigeration mode, the electrical load is relatively high during high-temperature operation and the heat generation is serious. Most manufacturers use the refrigerant heat dissipation method to cool the electrical box, which is contrary to the method of pasting a thermal insulation layer to prevent condensation.

[0028] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, components and arrangements of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and / or reference letters in different examples.

In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art may be aware of the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.
[0029] This embodiment discloses an air-conditioning heat pump unit, which, referring to Figure 1 , includes a heat exchange circuit, a water supply pipeline, an electrical box 9, a heat exchange device 6, etc.
[0030] The heat exchange circuit is a refrigerant heat exchange circuit, including a compressor 1, a four-way reversing valve 2, an internal heat exchanger 4, and an external heat exchanger 3 connected in sequence through refrigerant pipelines. The internal heat exchanger 4 is a heat exchange device 6 for refrigerant and water, and is used to produce circulating water for the user side 5.
[0031] The water supply pipeline includes a water inlet pipe 031 and a water outlet pipe 032. The water inlet pipe 031 is connected to the water inlet of the internal heat exchanger 4, and the water outlet pipe 032 is connected to the water outlet of the internal heat exchanger 4. Water flows into the internal heat exchanger 4 through the water inlet pipe 031, exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the internal heat exchanger 4, and the heated water flows out from the water outlet pipe 032 to provide the user with service water at the required temperature.
[0032] The refrigeration cycle of the heat exchange circuit includes a series of processes, involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation, for cooling or heating the indoor space.
[0033] The low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor 1, and the compressor 1 compresses it into a refrigerant gas in a high-temperature and high-pressure state and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and the heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.
[0034] The expansion valve expands the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid-phase refrigerant formed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid-phase refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the refrigerant gas in a low-temperature and low-pressure state to the compressor 1. The evaporator can achieve the refrigeration effect by using the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant to exchange heat with the material to be cooled.
[0035] The internal heat exchanger and the external heat exchanger are used as condensers or evaporators. When the internal heat exchanger is used as a condenser, the air-conditioning heat pump unit is used as a heater in the heating mode, and when the internal heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, the air-conditioning heat pump unit is used as a cooler in the refrigeration mode.
[0036] The electrical box 9 is used to control the operation of the air-conditioning heat pump unit, and heat will be generated during its operation. When the air-conditioning heat pump unit operates in a low-temperature and high-humidity environment and a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, it is easy to cause condensation inside the electrical box 9. If too much condensed water accumulates, it may flow to the electrical components and the substrate, resulting in short-circuit failure of the electronic control module or even causing fires, etc. Once the electronic control components fail, the unit cannot operate, the comfort level decreases, and the user experience is affected.
[0037] To solve this problem, in this embodiment, a heat exchange device 6 is provided. It is arranged close to the electrical box 9 and used to exchange heat for the electrical box 9. Specifically, it exchanges heat for the air near the electrical box 9, cools or heats the air near the electrical box 9, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the temperature of the electrical box 9, increase or decrease the temperature of the electrical box 9, avoid condensation or overheating of the electrical box 9, improve the safety of the electrical box 9, and improve the operation reliability of the air-conditioning heat pump unit.
[0038] The heat exchange device 6 uses refrigerant or water to exchange heat and adjust the temperature of the electrical box 9. The refrigerant used by the heat exchange device 6 comes from the heat exchange circuit, and the water used by the heat exchange device 6 comes from the water pipeline.
[0039] In different operating modes of the air-conditioning heat pump unit and at different ambient temperatures, there is a possibility of condensation or overheating in the electrical box 9. The system needs to select whether to use refrigerant or water to cool or heat the electrical box 9 according to different operating parameters.
[0040] That is to say, the heat exchange device 6 selectively selects the refrigerant path 61 or the water path 62 as needed to exchange heat for the electrical box 9, heats or cools the electrical box 9, so as to achieve the purpose of effectively preventing condensation and overheating.
[0041] The air-conditioning heat pump unit adjusts the temperature of the electrical box 9 through the heat exchange device 6, and does not need to paste a heat insulation layer on the electrical box 9. It reasonably applies the current operating conditions of the unit, uses the refrigerant or water with the existing temperature in the unit to heat or cool the electrical box 9, and saves energy.
[0042] In some embodiments, the structure of the heat exchange device 6 refers to Figure 2 , which includes a refrigerant path 61 and a water path 62. Combining Figure 1 , the refrigerant path 61 is connected to the heat exchange circuit and used to circulate refrigerant to exchange heat for the electrical box 9; the water path 62 is connected between the water inlet pipe 031 and the water outlet pipe 032 and used to circulate water to exchange heat for the electrical box 9.
[0043] When the system determines that it is necessary to use high-temperature refrigerant to heat the electrical box 9 or low-temperature refrigerant to cool the electrical box 9, the refrigerant path 61 is turned on and the water path 62 is closed.
[0044] The refrigerant path 61 is connected to multiple different positions of the heat exchange circuit through multiple refrigerant branches, and a refrigerant switch is provided on each refrigerant branch. The refrigerant switch is used to control the conduction or closing of the corresponding refrigerant branch.
[0045] According to the operating conditions of the heat pump unit and the status of the electrical box 9 (dew condensation risk or overheating risk), if the system determines that it is necessary to use refrigerant to exchange heat with the electrical box 9, the system selects to conduct the corresponding refrigerant branch and closes the remaining refrigerant branches, so as to draw out the refrigerant at the required temperature (high-temperature refrigerant or low-temperature refrigerant) from the refrigerant pipeline of the heat exchange circuit, and use the high-temperature refrigerant to raise the temperature of the electrical box 9, or use the low-temperature refrigerant to lower the temperature of the electrical box 9.
[0046] The water circuit 62 is connected to the water inlet pipe 031 and the water outlet pipe 032 through a water branch. A water switch is arranged on the water branch, and the water switch is used to control the conduction or closing of the water branch.
[0047] According to the operating conditions of the heat pump unit and the status of the electrical box 9 (dew condensation risk or overheating risk), if the system determines that it is necessary to use the water circuit 62 to exchange heat with the electrical box 9, the system selects to conduct the water branch, so as to draw out the water in the water outlet pipe 032 to the heat exchange device 6, and use the high-temperature water to raise the temperature of the electrical box 9, or use the low-temperature water to lower the temperature of the electrical box 9.
[0048] In some embodiments, the system determines whether there is a risk of dew condensation or overheating in the electrical box 9, which is related to parameters such as the ambient temperature Ta, the temperature Tfin of the electrical box 9, the temperature Te of the refrigerant before entering the external heat exchanger 3, the outlet water temperature Tw of the internal heat exchanger 4, and the suction pressure Ps of the compressor 1.
[0049] The ambient temperature Ta is detected by the ambient temperature sensor 81. The ambient temperature sensor 81 is arranged around the air-conditioning heat pump unit and is used to detect the ambient temperature around the unit during operation.
[0050] The temperature Tfin of the electrical box 9 is detected by the electrical temperature sensor 84. The electrical temperature sensor 84 is arranged inside the electrical box 9 and is used to detect the temperature of the electrical box 9.
[0051] The temperature Te of the refrigerant before entering the external heat exchanger 3 is detected by the refrigerant temperature sensor 82. The refrigerant temperature sensor 82 is arranged on the refrigerant pipeline between the internal heat exchanger 4 and the external heat exchanger 3 and is used to detect the temperature of the refrigerant before entering the external heat exchanger 3.
[0052] The outlet water temperature Tw of the internal heat exchanger 4 is detected by the outlet water temperature sensor 83. The outlet water temperature sensor 83 is arranged on the water outlet pipe 032 and is used to detect the outlet water temperature of the internal heat exchanger 4.
[0053] The suction pressure Ps of the compressor 1 is detected by the suction pressure sensor, which is arranged on the suction pipe of the compressor 1 and is used to detect the suction pressure of the compressor 1.
[0054] Based on the detection data of the above-mentioned various sensors, the air-conditioning heat pump unit judges the state of the electrical box 9, determines whether there is a risk of condensation or overheating in the electrical box 9, and controls the on-off of the refrigerant switch and the water switch to select whether to draw out the refrigerant from the heat exchange circuit or draw out water from the water outlet pipe 032 to heat up or cool down the electrical box 9, so as to prevent the electrical box 9 from condensation or overheating.
[0055] In some embodiments, when the air-conditioning heat pump unit is heating, the ambient temperature Ta is within the set range A, and the temperature Tfin of the electrical box 9 < the preset value T1, the electrical box 9 has a risk of anti-condensation and needs to be heated up.
[0056] When the outlet water temperature Tw of the internal heat exchanger 4 ≥ the preset value T12, T12 ≥ T1, select to use high-temperature water to heat up the electrical box 9. At this time, a part of the water in the water outlet pipe 032 flows into the water path 62 in the heat exchange device 6 to heat up the electrical box 9 and prevent the electrical box 9 from condensation.
[0057] When the outlet water temperature Tw of the internal heat exchanger 4 < the preset value T13, T13 ≤ T1 ≤ T12, select to use high-temperature refrigerant to heat up the electrical box 9. A part of the high-temperature refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 flows into the refrigerant path 61 in the heat exchange device 6 to heat up the electrical box 9 and prevent the electrical box 9 from condensation.
[0058] That is to say, under specific ambient temperature conditions, when the temperature Tfin of the electrical box 9 < the preset value T1, the electrical box 9 has a risk of condensation and needs to be heated up. At this time, the system judges whether the water temperature Tw in the water outlet pipe 032 is higher than the preset value T12. If the outlet water temperature Tw of the internal heat exchanger 4 ≥ the preset value T12, the system selects to use the water in the water outlet pipe 032 to exchange heat with the electrical box 9 to heat up the electrical box 9 and achieve the purpose of anti-condensation; if the outlet water temperature Tw of the internal heat exchanger 4 < the preset value T13, the system selects to use the high-temperature refrigerant in the heat exchange circuit to exchange heat with the electrical box 9 to heat up the electrical box 9 and achieve the purpose of anti-condensation.
[0059] In some embodiments, when the unit is heating and the temperature Tfin of the electrical box 9 ≥ the preset value T2, the electrical box 9 has a risk of overheating and needs to be cooled down.
[0060] When the outlet water temperature Tw of the internal heat exchanger 4 ≤ the temperature Te before the refrigerant enters the external heat exchanger 3, select to use low-temperature water to cool down the electrical box 9. At this time, a part of the water in the water outlet pipe 032 flows into the water path 62 of the heat exchange device 6 to cool down the electrical box 9 and prevent the electrical box 9 from overheating.
[0061] When the water outlet temperature Tw of the internal heat exchanger 4 is greater than the temperature Te of the refrigerant before it enters the external heat exchanger 3, a low-temperature refrigerant is selected to cool the electrical box 9. A part of the refrigerant flowing out of the internal heat exchanger 4 flows into the refrigerant path 61 of the heat exchange device 6 to cool the electrical box 9 and prevent the electrical box 9 from overheating.
[0062] That is to say, when the unit is in the heating mode and under all ambient temperature conditions, when the temperature Tfin of the electrical box 9 is greater than or equal to the preset value T2, the electrical box 9 has a risk of overheating and needs to be cooled. At this time, the system judges the magnitude relationship between the water temperature Tw in the outlet pipe 032 and the refrigerant temperature in the heat exchange circuit. If the water outlet temperature Tw of the internal heat exchanger 4 is less than or equal to the temperature Te of the refrigerant before it enters the external heat exchanger 3, the system selects the water in the outlet pipe 032 to exchange heat with the electrical box 9 to cool the electrical box 9 and achieve the purpose of preventing overheating; if the water outlet temperature Tw of the internal heat exchanger 4 is greater than the temperature Te of the refrigerant before it enters the external heat exchanger 3, the system selects the low-temperature refrigerant in the heat exchange circuit to exchange heat with the electrical box 9 to cool the electrical box 9 and achieve the purpose of preventing overheating.
[0063] In some embodiments, when the air-conditioning heat pump unit is in the cooling mode, the ambient temperature Ta is within the set range B, and the temperature Tfin of the electrical box 9 is less than the preset value T3, the electrical box 9 has a risk of condensation and needs to be heated.
[0064] Under this operating condition, a high-temperature refrigerant is used to heat the electrical box 9. A part of the high-temperature refrigerant discharged from the compressor 1 flows into the refrigerant path 61 of the heat exchange device 6 to heat the electrical box 9 and achieve the purpose of preventing condensation of the electrical box 9.
[0065] In some embodiments, when the unit is in the cooling mode and the temperature Tfin of the electrical box 9 is greater than or equal to the preset value T4, the electrical box 9 has a risk of overheating and needs to be cooled.
[0066] When the water outlet temperature Tw of the internal heat exchanger 4 is less than or equal to the temperature Te of the refrigerant before it enters the external heat exchanger 3, the system selects low-temperature water to cool the electrical box 9. At this time, a part of the water in the outlet pipe 032 flows into the water path 62 of the heat exchange device 6 to cool the electrical box 9 and achieve the purpose of preventing the electrical box 9 from overheating.
[0067] When the water outlet temperature Tw of the internal heat exchanger 4 is greater than the temperature Te of the refrigerant before it enters the external heat exchanger 3, the system selects low-temperature refrigerant to cool the electrical box 9. At this time, a part of the refrigerant flowing out of the external heat exchanger 3 flows into the refrigerant path 61 of the heat exchange device 6 to cool the electrical box 9 and achieve the purpose of preventing the electrical box 9 from overheating.
[0068] That is to say, when the unit is refrigerating, at all ambient temperature conditions, when the temperature Tfin of the electrical box 9 ≥ the preset value T4, there is a risk of overheating in the electrical box 9, and the electrical box 9 needs to be cooled. At this time, the system judges the magnitude relationship between the water temperature Tw in the outlet pipe 032 and the refrigerant temperature in the heat exchange circuit. If the outlet water temperature Tw of the internal heat exchanger 4 ≤ the temperature Te of the refrigerant before entering the external heat exchanger 3, the system selects to use the water in the outlet pipe 032 to exchange heat with the electrical box 9 to cool the electrical box 9 and achieve the purpose of preventing overheating; if the outlet water temperature Tw of the internal heat exchanger 4 > the temperature Te of the refrigerant before entering the external heat exchanger 3, the system selects to use the low-temperature refrigerant in the heat exchange circuit to exchange heat with the electrical box 9 to cool the electrical box 9 and achieve the purpose of preventing overheating.
[0069] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the refrigerant inlet 611 of the refrigerant path 61 is connected to the first refrigerant branch 011 and the second refrigerant branch 012.
