Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heat pump exchangers, and in particular to a heat exchanger for a double-stage cascade heat pump. Background Art
[0002] A heat pump is a highly efficient energy conversion device that cleverly utilizes the energy contained in the air to generate heat. The heat pump operates by efficiently collecting and integrating low-grade heat energy from the air through internal circulation, converting it into a high-temperature heat source. The resulting heat is not only higher in temperature but also more stable in quality, meeting various heating and hot water supply needs. Compared to traditional heating and hot water supply methods, it can significantly reduce energy consumption and achieve energy savings.
[0003] The heat pumps in the existing technology are prone to generating a large amount of cold air accumulation during use. Since the heat pump equipment absorbs the surrounding heat through the evaporator during operation, the air temperature around the evaporator gradually decreases. As time goes by, the air circulation around the heat pump is seriously affected, forming a relatively static low-temperature area, which further affects the normal operation of the heat pump equipment. Due to poor air circulation, the heat pump is difficult to effectively absorb enough heat from the surrounding environment, resulting in a decrease in its heating efficiency. As the temperature continues to drop, the effect of the entire heat pump system will also be seriously affected. Not only will it fail to meet the expected heating and hot water supply needs, it may also increase energy consumption and operating costs.
[0004] Chinese patent document CN113776109A discloses an air source heat pump module and a tower air source heat pump. By modifying the heat pump from a vertical position to a horizontal position and setting the air outlet buckle to a side air outlet mode, the air intake and air outlet are respectively carried out from both sides of the heat pump, avoiding the cold island effect and improving the air circulation to a certain extent. However, the heating efficiency of the heat pump equipment is closely related to its contact area with the air and the air circulation conditions. The horizontal layout will lead to a reduction in the contact area between the heat pump equipment and the air, or make the air circulation not smooth enough, thereby affecting its heating effect. Especially in low temperature environments such as winter, this effect may be more obvious. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Beneficial effects: The present invention has reasonable design, simple and stable structure, strong practicality, and has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. In the solution of the present invention, the cascade heat pump circulation system adopts a coupled design of a low-temperature circuit and a high-temperature circuit. The low-temperature circuit absorbs low-temperature heat from the evaporator through three parallel compressors. After switching through a four-way valve, the low-temperature thermal storage condenser is filled with phase change materials such as paraffin wax / compound salt to store and release heat. The high-temperature circuit receives heat from the low-temperature stage through an intermediate heat exchanger. After secondary heating by the high-temperature compressor, high-quality heat energy is output through the high-temperature condenser. The refrigerant flow is coordinated by a throttle valve between the two circuits to achieve high-efficiency operation over a wide temperature range.
[0018] 2. In the solution of the present invention, a low-temperature thermal storage condenser is added to the low-temperature circuit of the cascade heat pump system. The low-temperature thermal storage condenser is not only connected to the intermediate heat exchanger via the refrigerant, but also to the high-temperature condenser via the heating medium, forming a cross-cascade heat pump system. The time accuracy requirements for coupling the high-temperature circuit and the low-temperature circuit through the intermediate heat exchanger are greatly reduced, and the operating stability of the cascade heat pump system is improved.
[0019] 3. In the solution of the present invention, the low-temperature thermal storage condenser is filled with thermal storage material. In the event of a sudden power outage during the operation of the heat pump, the thermal storage material can provide heat to the low-temperature thermal storage condenser and simultaneously provide heat to the high-temperature condenser, preventing the water in the high-temperature condenser from freezing and expanding, causing fatal damage to the heat pump, thereby greatly improving the anti-freeze capability.
[0020] 4. In the present invention, a rotatable fan module is installed at the bottom of the evaporator. The servo motor drives the gear set to achieve 0-80° angle adjustment. When the infrared sensor detects that the temperature at the bottom of the finned condenser reaches the freezing point, the main control system activates the fan module to rotate towards the ice area, directional sweeping the waste hot air generated by the heat exchanger during operation. Combined with the heat transfer cavity to provide auxiliary heating through solar energy, rapid ice melting is achieved. The de-icing process works synergistically with the cylindrical high-speed airflow generated by the jet fan to eliminate the "cold island effect" caused by cold air accumulation.
[0021] 5. The present invention adopts a three-stage air supply structure. The air guide plates on both sides of the heat exchanger unit and the trumpet-shaped vents form laminar air supply, promoting air circulation within the heat exchanger unit and preventing heat accumulation. The reversible fan module in the middle forms a low-to-high air transport, promoting the flow of hot air to the evaporator. The large fan on the top creates a negative pressure drainage. The jet fan array penetrates the gaps in the heat exchanger array through relay-type high-speed airflow, reducing boundary layer thermal resistance. The wind field system is linked with the temperature sensor to dynamically adjust the wind speed and angle according to the heat load, thereby improving the overall heat exchange rate.
[0022] 6. In the present invention, three low-temperature compressors form an integrated vibration damping system through a connection kit and rubber shock-absorbing pads. The mass-spring effect is used to unify the vibration frequency to a consistent amplitude range to avoid local resonance. The thermal storage condenser stores excess heat during low loads, and the four-way valve is switched to achieve time-shifting of heat energy during peak hours. The system monitors operating parameters in real time through the main control cabinet and uses algorithms to optimize the compressor start-stop combination and wind farm configuration, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency ratio to a high level.
[0023] 7. In the solution of the present invention, when a large amount of cold air accumulates in the evaporator to form ice and frost, the heat pump enters the defrost mode, and the refrigerant flows from the intermediate heat exchanger to the low-temperature heat storage condenser. The heat conducted to the refrigerant through the high-temperature circuit melts the frost outside the low-temperature circuit, thereby preventing frost from affecting the normal use of the heat pump equipment.

[0049] Working Principle: During use, in the normal heating mode, the refrigerant flows from the low-temperature stage thermal storage condenser 413 to the intermediate heat exchanger 423. When a large amount of ice and frost accumulate in the cold air in the evaporator 2, the heat pump enters the defrost mode, and the refrigerant flows from the intermediate heat exchanger 423 to the low-temperature stage thermal storage condenser 413. The heat transferred to the refrigerant through the high-temperature stage circuit 42 melts the frost outside the low-temperature stage circuit 41, thereby enhancing the defrosting efficiency of the cross-cascade heat pump system.
[0050] The rotatable fan module 52 at the bottom of the evaporator 2 is driven by a servo motor 55 to drive a gear set to achieve 0-80° angle adjustment. When the infrared sensor 33 detects that the temperature at the bottom of the fin condenser 21 has reached the freezing point, the main control system activates the fan module 52 to turn to the ice area, directional blowing the waste hot air generated by the operation of the heat exchanger unit 4. Combined with the heat transfer chamber 24 to provide auxiliary heat through solar energy, rapid ice melting is achieved.
[0051] The jet fans 7 on the sides of the multiple heat exchangers form a relay-type combined air duct.
