Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water heaters, and in particular to an air source heat pump water heater with a waste heat recovery structure. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing popularity of energy conservation and environmental protection, air-source heat pump water heaters, which utilize energy from the air to heat water, have gradually become a popular choice for hot water supply equipment in the market. However, existing air-source heat pump water heaters still have many practical problems, which limit their performance improvement and widespread promotion. In terms of energy utilization, during the operation of traditional air source heat pump water heaters, the hot gas generated by the heat pump main unit is usually discharged directly into the environment, and there is a lack of effective recycling and utilization methods. This not only causes a large amount of energy waste, but also makes the electricity consumption required for heating cold water remain high, and the long-term use cost is high, which is contrary to the current development trend of green energy conservation. In terms of ease of use, the water level adjustment of most air source heat pump water heaters relies on manual operation. Users need to frequently adjust the water intake according to water usage. This is not only cumbersome to operate, but it is also easy to cause the water tank to overflow or the water level to be too low due to negligence, affecting normal use. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention solves the technical problems thereof by adopting the following technical solutions: an air source heat pump water heater with a waste heat recovery structure, comprising: a water storage tank, a heat pump main unit is arranged on the outside of the water storage tank, a return pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the water storage tank, a water supply pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water storage tank, the water supply pipe extends to the inside of the water storage tank, a circulating water pump is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water supply pipe, a recovery device is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heat pump main unit, an adjusting device is arranged on the inner top of the water storage tank, and a cleaning device is arranged on the inner bottom of the water storage tank; the recovery The device includes a wind gathering hood, the inner wall of which is symmetrically fixedly connected with an wind gathering ring, the inner wall of which is fixedly connected with a spiral air guide tube, the top of the spiral air guide tube is provided with a water receiving ring tube, the bottom end of the spiral air guide tube is provided with a water supply ring tube, and the inner center of the spiral air guide tube is provided with a heating tube; the adjusting device includes a water inlet pipe, the bottom end of the water inlet pipe is fixedly connected with a bellows, the bottom end of the bellows is fixedly connected with a water gathering block, the outer wall of the water gathering block is fixedly connected with a connecting pipe, the outer wall of the water gathering block is fixedly connected with a limiting rod, and the inner wall of the water gathering block is threadedly connected with an adjusting screw.

[0004] The present invention further provides that the outer wall of the wind collecting hood is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heat pump main unit, a tapered tube is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the spiral air guide tube, the top end of the heating tube is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water receiving ring tube, and the end of the heating tube away from the water receiving ring tube is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water supply ring tube. When the heat pump main unit is operating, a certain amount of gas is generated. The wind collecting hood and the wind collecting ring on its inner wall can collect and guide this gas, ultimately guiding it through the tapered tube into the spiral air guide tube. The spiral structure of the spiral air guide tube extends the flow path of the gas, allowing it to have more time for heat exchange with the medium outside the tube.

[0005] The present invention is further configured such that the outer wall of the tapered tube is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the wind collecting hood, the outer wall of the water receiving ring tube is fixedly connected to the external tube, and the outer wall of the water supply ring tube is fixedly connected to the delivery pipe.

[0006] The present invention further provides that the outer walls of the external pipe and the delivery pipe are both fixedly connected to the inner wall of the wind condenser, the end of the external pipe remote from the water receiving ring pipe is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water supply pipe, and the end of the delivery pipe remote from the water supply ring pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water storage tank. A portion of the cold water in the water supply pipe flows through the external pipe into the water receiving ring pipe and then into the heating pipe within the spiral air guide pipe. In the heating pipe, the cold water exchanges heat with the hot gas within the spiral air guide pipe, absorbing heat and raising its temperature. The heated water is then re-delivered to the water storage tank via the water supply ring pipe and the delivery pipe, completing the preheating of the cold water and realizing the recovery and utilization of heat generated by the operation of the heat pump main unit.

[0007] The present invention further comprises an outer wall of the water inlet pipe fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water tank, an outer wall of the limit rod slidably connected to the inner wall of the water tank, and an outer wall of the adjustment screw rotatably connected to the inner wall of the water tank. An adjustment motor is provided on the outer wall of the water inlet pipe. External cold water is introduced into the water tank via the water inlet pipe, and the adjustment motor drives the adjustment screw to rotate. Since the water collecting block is threadedly connected to the adjustment screw, rotation of the adjustment screw drives the water collecting block to move. The water collecting block is guided by the limit rod to its height within the water tank, thereby changing the height of the water outlet of the connecting pipe.

[0008] The present invention further provides that the outer wall of the regulating motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water tank, the outer wall of the regulating screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the regulating motor, and a blocking rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe, and the bottom end of the blocking rod is fixedly connected to a float. When the water level in the water tank rises, the float rises with the water level, driving the blocking rod upward in the connecting pipe, gradually blocking the connecting pipe and reducing water inflow. When the water level drops, the float moves downward, the blocking rod releases the connecting pipe, and water inflow increases. In this way, the water level in the water tank can be dynamically adjusted under different usage conditions to maintain a stable water level.

[0009] The present invention further provides that the cleaning device includes a filter housing, an inner wall of the filter housing being rotatably connected to a rotating rod, an outer wall of the rotating rod being fixedly connected to an impeller, a top end of the rotating rod being fixedly connected to a scraper, and a sewage pipe being provided on the exterior of the filter housing. Water from the water supply pipe flows through the filter housing, causing the impeller to rotate at the bottom of the water tank via the rotating rod, and the scraper at the top end of the rotating rod to rotate accordingly. During the rotation of the scraper, its outer wall slides against the inner wall of the water tank, scraping off impurities and scale adhering to the inner wall of the water tank.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom end of the filter housing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water tank, the outer wall of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the water tank, the outer wall of the scraper is slidably connected to the inner wall of the water tank, and the outer wall of the filter housing is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water supply pipe.

[0011] The present invention further provides a configuration in which a brush head is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the scraper, the outer wall of the brush head being slidably connected to the inner wall of the water tank, and the outer wall of the drain pipe being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water tank. Removed impurities, due to the curvature of the filter housing exterior and the tapered shape of the water tank bottom, fall to the edge of the bottom end of the water tank. The scraping action of the brush head then carries the impurities to the drain pipe, which can be discharged by periodically opening the drain pipe.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention utilizes a recovery device, a wind collecting hood, a wind collecting ring, and a tapered tube to efficiently collect and guide the hot gases generated by the heat pump main unit to the spiral air duct. The spiral air duct's unique spiral structure significantly extends the gas flow path. Combined with the heating tube, it allows for a thorough heat exchange between the cold water and the hot gases, effectively recovering the heat that would otherwise be released into the environment for use in preheating the cold water. Compared to traditional air-source heat pump water heaters, this design significantly improves energy efficiency and reduces the electricity consumption required to heat the cold water. This can significantly save users significant operating costs over long-term use while also reducing energy waste, aligning with the development trend of green energy conservation.

[0013] 2. The present invention is provided with an adjustment device, which can accurately change the height of the water collecting block by adjusting the motor-driven adjustment screw according to actual use needs, and then adjust the position of the water outlet of the connecting pipe to meet the setting of the water level of the water tank in different water use scenarios. At the same time, the water level sensing adjustment structure composed of the float and the blocking rod can monitor the water level changes in real time and adjust the water intake to avoid water tank overflow or low water level. This water level adjustment method does not require frequent manual operation by the user, improves the convenience and stability of the water heater, and brings a more comfortable water experience to the user.

[0014] 3. The present invention sets a cleaning device to utilize the water flow when the circulating water pump is working to drive the impeller to rotate, driving the scraper and brush head to continuously clean the inner wall and bottom of the water tank, effectively scraping off the attached impurities and scale. Combined with the curvature design of the filter shell and the conical structure of the bottom of the water tank, the cleaned impurities are smoothly gathered to the drain pipe, which is convenient for users to clean regularly. It also effectively avoids the accumulation of impurities in the water tank, prevents it from affecting the heat exchange efficiency and clogging the pipeline, reduces the probability of equipment failure, extends the overall service life of the air source heat pump water heater, and reduces the equipment maintenance cost and frequency.

[0015] 4. This invention integrates a recovery device, a regulating device, and a cleaning device to form a complete system optimization solution. Waste heat recovery improves energy efficiency, water level regulation ensures a stable water supply, and automatic cleaning maintains equipment performance. These three working together not only enhance the functionality of the water heater but also strengthen its overall operational reliability and stability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] Working principle: When in use, the circulating water pump 6 is started to send the water in the water storage tank 1 into the heat pump main unit 2 through the water supply pipe 5. The heat pump main unit 2 drives the refrigerant circulation through the internal compressor. It first absorbs heat from the air in the evaporator and evaporates from liquid to gas; then it is compressed into high-temperature and high-pressure gas by the compressor, and releases the heat to the cold water in the condenser; then it is reduced in pressure and temperature by the expansion valve and turned back into low-temperature and low-pressure liquid. This cycle repeats, using a small amount of electrical energy to achieve the transfer of heat from low-temperature air to high-temperature water, and the generated hot water is transported to the water storage tank 1 through the return pipe 4; Through the recovery device 3, the heat pump host 2 generates gas with a certain amount of heat when it is working. The air collecting cover 31 and the air collecting ring 32 on its inner wall can collect and guide this gas, and finally guide it into the spiral air guide pipe 35 through the tapered pipe 39. The spiral structure of the spiral air guide pipe 35 extends the flow path of the gas, so that it has more sufficient heat exchange time with the medium outside the pipe. A part of the cold water in the water supply pipe 5 flows into the water receiving ring pipe 36 through the external pipe 33, and then enters the heating pipe 38 in the spiral air guide pipe 35. In the heating pipe 38, the cold water exchanges heat with the hot gas in the spiral air guide pipe 35, and its temperature rises after absorbing heat. The heated water is then re-delivered to the water storage tank 1 through the water supply ring pipe 37 and the delivery pipe 34, completing the preheating of the cold water and realizing the recovery and utilization of the heat generated by the operation of the heat pump host 2; By setting the regulating device 8, external cold water is introduced into the water storage tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 81, and the regulating motor 89 drives the regulating screw 83 to rotate. Since the water collecting block 85 is threadedly connected to the regulating screw 83, the rotation of the regulating screw 83 will drive the water collecting block 85 to move. The water collecting block 85 is guided by the limit rod 82 at its height in the water storage tank 1, thereby changing the height of the water outlet of the connecting pipe 86; when the water level in the water storage tank 1 rises, the float 88 rises with the water level, driving the blocking rod 87 to move upward in the connecting pipe 86, gradually blocking the connecting pipe 86 and reducing the water inflow; when the water level drops, the float 88 moves downward, the blocking rod 87 loosens the connecting pipe 86, and the water inflow increases. In this way, the water level in the water storage tank 1 can be dynamically adjusted under different usage conditions to maintain a stable water level. The cleaning device 7 is provided, and when the circulating water pump 6 sucks the water in the water storage tank 1 through the water supply pipe 5, the water in the water supply pipe 5 flows through the filter housing 71, causing the impeller 72 to rotate at the bottom of the water storage tank 1 through the rotating rod 73, and the scraper 74 at the top of the rotating rod 73 rotates accordingly. During the rotation process, the outer wall of the scraper 74 slides in contact with the inner wall of the water storage tank 1, scraping off the impurities and scale attached to the inner wall of the water storage tank 1; at the same time, the brush head 75 at the bottom end of the scraper 74 also scrubs the bottom end of the inner wall of the water storage tank 1 to further clean the impurities; the cleaned impurities pass through the curvature of the outside of the filter housing 71 and the conical shape of the bottom of the water storage tank 1, so that the impurities fall to the edge of the bottom end of the water storage tank 1, and are scraped by the scraping of the brush head 75 to the sewage pipe 76. The sewage pipe 76 can be opened regularly to discharge the impurities, thereby keeping the inside of the water storage tank 1 clean and preventing impurities from affecting the use effect and service life of the water heater.
