[0030] Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 7, A waste energy recovery device for an air source heat pump, comprising a bottom plate 1 which is installed in the heat pump by bolts. A waste heat storage frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top end of the bottom plate 1. The size of the waste heat storage frame 2 is set according to the size of the compressor or other components that need to recover and utilize waste heat. An internal heat storage cavity 201 is arranged inside the waste heat storage frame 2.

A heat exchange pipe 3 distributed in an S shape is arranged in the internal heat storage cavity 201. Two ends of the heat exchange pipe 3 are respectively connected to one end of the water inlet pipe 202 and one end of the water outlet pipe 203. A distance is left between the outer wall of the heat exchange pipe 3 and the inner wall of the internal heat storage cavity 201 to ensure smooth air circulation in the internal heat storage cavity 201. A number of heat conduction plate pieces 4 are installed on the heat exchange pipe 3. One end of the heat conduction plate piece 4 is inserted and installed on the pipe body of the heat exchange pipe 3 distributed along the width direction of the waste heat storage frame 2, and the other end of the heat conduction plate piece 4 extends to the inner periphery of the waste heat storage frame 2. The notch 208 is closed by a closing plate 7, and the outer shape and size of the closing plate 7 correspond to the shape and size of the waste heat storage frame 2.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6, slots 301 are provided on both sides of the heat exchange pipe 3. One end of the heat conduction plate 4 passes through the heat exchange pipe 3 through the slot 301 and abuts against the inner wall of the built-in heat storage cavity 201. The outside of the connection between the heat conduction plate 4 and the slot 301 is sealed with sealing glue. Before installing the heat exchange pipe 3, a leak-proof test needs to be carried out to ensure that each insertion and installation point of the heat conduction plate 4 does not leak water. The heat exchange pipe 3 is routed in the horizontal and vertical directions and arranged in the way of "horizontal long and vertical short". The heat conduction plate 4 is inserted into the horizontally arranged part of the heat exchange pipe 3. Strip-shaped access grooves 206 are provided at the corresponding positions on the inner wall of the waste heat storage frame 2 corresponding to the heat conduction plate 4. The front end of the strip-shaped access groove 206 extends to the front end of the waste heat storage frame 2. Insert pieces 701 are provided at the corresponding positions on the closing plate 7 corresponding to the strip-shaped access grooves 206. The sum of the lengths of the heat conduction plate 4 and the insert piece 701 is equal to the length of the strip-shaped access groove 206. The heat exchange pipe 3 together with the heat conduction plate 4 is installed into the built-in heat storage cavity 201, and then the water inlet pipe 202 and the water outlet pipe 203 are screwed and installed at both ends of the heat exchange pipe 3 in a threaded connection manner. Structures for docking with the water inlet pipe 202 and the water outlet pipe 203 are provided at both ends of the heat exchange pipe 3. The heat conduction plate 4 is inserted into the corresponding strip-shaped access groove 206, and then the closing plate 7 is installed through bolts. The insert piece 701 is inserted into the notch 208 position of the strip-shaped access groove 206 to close the notch 208 of the strip-shaped access groove 206. A number of grid holes 401 are evenly arranged at equal intervals on the heat conduction plate 4 except for the parts placed in the strip-shaped access groove 206 and the slot 301. The heat conduction plate 4 is made of copper. The grid holes 401 can increase the contact surface between media such as water and air and it, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency.

[0032] Embodiment 2: Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , on the basis of Embodiment 1, a pressure stabilizing and connecting pipe 207 is installed on one inner wall of the waste heat storage frame 2, a pressure automatic regulating component 5 is installed at the bottom of the built-in heat storage cavity 201, and the heat exchange pipe 3, the air inlet pipe 204, the air outlet pipe 205, the water inlet pipe 202, the water outlet pipe 203, and the pressure stabilizing and connecting pipe 207 are all arranged above the pressure automatic regulating component 5. A pressure valve 6 is installed in the pressure stabilizing and connecting pipe 207. The pressure valve 6 automatically opens when it is subjected to a certain intensity of pressure. When the pressure inside the periphery of the waste heat storage frame 2 is too high, a part of the air will be squeezed into the built-in heat storage cavity 201 through the pressure stabilizing and connecting pipe 207 to ensure the stability of the pressure inside the periphery of the waste heat storage frame 2.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6, the pressure automatic adjustment component 5 includes a plurality of automatic telescopic rods 502 installed on the inner bottom surface of the built-in heat storage cavity 201 and a piston plate 501 installed at the top end of the automatic telescopic rod 502. The outer wall of the piston plate 501 is in sliding fit with the inner wall of the built-in heat storage cavity 201. The automatic telescopic rod 502 is selected from a spring rod or a hydraulic rod with a function of resetting after expansion and contraction.

[0034] Working principle: During use, the bottom plate 1 is installed in the heat pump, and the compressor or other components that need to recover waste heat are installed in the waste heat storage frame 2. A controllable branch pipe is arranged at the cold water inlet of the heat pump and connected to the water inlet pipe 202. The water outlet pipe 203 is connected to the side of the inlet pipe of the heat pump heat exchanger and a control valve is arranged at the connection, so that the heat exchange pipeline 3 is in parallel with the water inlet pipeline of the heat pump heat exchanger. Furthermore, it is controlled that the cold water directly enters the heat pump heat exchanger or first passes through the heat exchange pipeline 3 and then enters the heat pump heat exchanger. A controllable branch pipe is arranged at the air inlet of the heat pump and connected to the air inlet pipe 204. The air outlet pipe 205 leads to the outdoor unit fin or evaporator through a pipeline. The heat around the waste heat storage frame 2 is absorbed by the heat conduction plate 4. When water is transported in the heat exchange pipeline 3, the water is heated through the heat conduction plate 4, so that the cold water is transported to the heat pump heat exchanger after passing through the waste heat, reducing the energy consumption of the heat pump heat exchanger. Air enters and exits the built-in heat storage cavity 201 through the air inlet pipe 204 and the air outlet pipe 205. The air is heated through the heat conduction plate 4 in the built-in heat storage cavity 201, and the hot air is introduced to the position where the outdoor unit fin or evaporator is located for defrosting treatment, realizing the full utilization of waste heat.
