AI Technical Summary
In the existing air source heat pump system, due to the long refrigerant pipelines of the internal and external units, the refrigerant evaporation characteristics of the refrigerant are poor and the refrigerant is insufficient. The refrigerant is prone to deposition when flowing through the pipeline under low pressure, which affects energy efficiency.
The enthalpy compressor, four-way valve, outdoor heat exchanger, liquid reservoir, economy, gas-liquid separator and outdoor throttling conversion components are adopted. Through different refrigerant pipeline designs, low-pressure refrigerant evaporates in the long pipeline, ensuring that the refrigerant flows under high pressure, including different pipeline connection methods during refrigeration and heating. The parallel structure of the electronic expansion valve and one-way valve of the indoor and outdoor unit can achieve efficient throttling.
It effectively avoids the deposition of refrigerant in long pipes, improves the system's ability and energy efficiency during cooling and heating, and ensures efficient operation.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an air source heat pump system. Background Art
[0002] The current existing technology, Chinese Patent 202121742865.7, is a split-type air-source heat pump, which includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit connected in a loop. The outdoor unit includes a compressor, a four-way valve, a gas-liquid separator, and an evaporator. The indoor unit includes a heat exchanger. The exhaust port of the compressor is connected to the D-end interface of the four-way valve. The C-end interface, S-end interface, and E-end interface of the four-way valve are respectively connected to the heat exchanger, gas-liquid separator, and evaporator. The exhaust port of the gas-liquid separator is connected to the return air port of the compressor, and the heat exchanger is connected to the evaporator. The problem is that during refrigeration operation, after the main valve throttles, the refrigerant needs to pass through the fluorine-circuit connecting pipe between the internal and external units before it can reach the evaporator of the internal unit for evaporation. At this time, due to the excessive length of the fluorine-circuit connecting pipe between the internal and external units and the evaporation characteristics of the refrigerant, the pressure of the internal unit evaporator is too low, and its capacity cannot be fully utilized, resulting in too low refrigeration capacity. Summary of the Invention

Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0016] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they may refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediary, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, a cooling and heating heat pump system includes an outdoor unit, an indoor unit, a first refrigerant pipeline 1A and a second refrigerant pipeline 1B.
[0018] The outdoor unit includes a heat-increasing compressor 2, a four-way valve 3, an outdoor heat exchanger 4, a liquid storage tank 5, an economizer 6, a gas-liquid separator 7, an outdoor throttling conversion component 8 and an auxiliary electronic expansion valve 9.
[0019] The four-way valve 3 includes C end, D end, E end and S end.
[0020] The outdoor throttling conversion assembly 8 includes an outdoor main electronic expansion valve 81, a first one-way valve 82 and a second one-way valve 83. The outdoor main electronic expansion valve 81 and the first one-way valve 82 constitute an outdoor throttling one-way branch and are connected in parallel with the second one-way valve 83.
[0021] The indoor unit includes a water-side heat exchanger 10 and an indoor throttling conversion assembly. The indoor throttling conversion assembly includes an indoor electronic expansion valve 111, a third one-way valve 112, and a fourth one-way valve 113. The indoor electronic expansion valve 111 and the third one-way valve 112 constitute an indoor throttling one-way branch and are connected in parallel with the fourth one-way valve 113.
[0022] One end of the outdoor throttling conversion component 8 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 4, and the other end is connected to the economizer 6 and the liquid storage tank, and is connected to the auxiliary electronic expansion valve 9, the economizer 6 and the enthalpy increasing air port of the enthalpy increasing compressor 2 in sequence. The indoor throttling heat conversion component is connected to one end of the refrigerant pipeline of the water side heat exchanger 10; the C end of the four-way valve 3, the first refrigerant pipeline 1A and the other end of the refrigerant pipeline of the water side heat exchanger 10 are connected; one end of the second refrigerant pipeline 1B is connected to the indoor throttling heat conversion component, and the other end is connected to the liquid storage tank; during cooling, the indoor electronic expansion valve works; during heating, the outdoor main electronic expansion valve 81 works.
[0023] A first stop valve and a second stop valve are respectively provided at both ends of the first refrigerant pipeline 1A;
[0024] A third stop valve and a fourth stop valve are respectively provided at both ends of the second refrigerant pipeline 1B.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, during cooling, the exhaust port of the compressor, the DE end of the four-way valve 3, the outdoor heat exchanger 4, the second one-way valve 83, the economizer 6, the liquid storage tank 5, the second refrigerant pipeline 1B, the third one-way valve 112, the indoor electronic expansion valve 111, the water-side heat exchanger 10, the first refrigerant pipeline 1A, the CS end of the four-way valve 3, the gas-liquid separator 7 and the return air port of the enthalpy increase compressor 2 are connected in sequence; such a design avoids the problem that the traditional split unit, due to throttling in the outdoor unit, causes the refrigerant to flow through the second refrigerant pipeline at low pressure before evaporating in the indoor unit, avoids the poor deposition of refrigerant in the relatively long second refrigerant pipeline caused by low-pressure non-evaporated refrigerant, and greatly improves the capacity and energy efficiency of the split unit system during cooling.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, during heating, the exhaust port of the reheat-increasing compressor 2, the DC terminal of the four-way valve 3, the first refrigerant pipeline 1A, the water-side heat exchanger 10, the fourth check valve 113, the second refrigerant pipeline 1B, the economizer 6, the outdoor main electronic expansion valve 81, the first check valve 82, the outdoor heat exchanger 4, the ES terminal of the four-way valve 3, the gas-liquid separator 7, and the compressor's return air port are sequentially connected. The fourth check valve 113 in the indoor unit is open, preventing refrigerant from flowing through the indoor electronic expansion valve. The first check valve 82 in the outdoor unit is open, allowing refrigerant to pass through the economizer and then be throttled by the outdoor main electronic expansion valve 81. The throttled refrigerant then enters the outdoor heat exchanger for evaporation. This prevents throttling of the indoor unit, which would cause refrigerant to flow through the second refrigerant pipeline at low pressure before reaching the outdoor unit for evaporation. This also prevents undesirable deposition of low-pressure, unevaporated refrigerant in the relatively long second refrigerant pipeline between the indoor and outdoor units, significantly improving the heating capacity and energy efficiency of the split-type system.
[0027] The interiors of the first refrigerant pipe and the second refrigerant pipe are in a high-pressure state regardless of whether cooling or heating is being operated.
[0028] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
