[0024] The air conditioner of the present invention performs a refrigeration cycle of the air conditioner by using a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion and evaporation to cool or heat the indoor space.

[0025] Low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor, which compresses it into high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, releasing heat into the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

[0026] The expansion valve expands the high-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant condensed in the condenser to a lower-pressure liquid. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas to the compressor. The evaporator achieves cooling by utilizing the latent heat of evaporation to exchange heat with the material being cooled.

[0048] The first port 91 of the first four-way valve is connected to the fourth port 94 of the first four-way valve, and the second port 92 of the first four-way valve is connected to the third port 93 of the first four-way valve; the first port 101 of the second four-way valve is connected to the fourth port 104 of the second four-way valve, and the second port 102 of the second four-way valve is connected to the third port 103 of the second four-way valve.

[0049] The first and second electronic on-off valves 50 and 70 are closed, while the third and fourth electronic on-off valves 110 and 120 are opened. The high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 10 passes through the second, third, and fourth four-way valves 100, 110, and 120, then enters the user-side first and second plate heat exchangers 30 and 40 for condensation. After being throttled by the user-side first and second throttle elements 60, 80, and 270, it enters the water-supply-side plate heat exchanger 20 and then returns to the compressor 10 through the first four-way valve 90, completing the cycle. During this cycle, the water in the water flow channels of the user-side first and second plate heat exchangers 30, 40 is heated, providing hot water for the user.

[0051] Reference Figure 4 The specific operation of the above-mentioned integrated water source machine in the mode of producing hot and cold water at the same time is as follows.

[0053] The first electronic switch valve 50 is closed, the second electronic switch valve 70 is opened, the third electronic switch valve 110 is opened, and the fourth electronic switch valve 120 is closed; the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 10 enters the first four-way valve 90 and the second four-way valve 100 respectively; the refrigerant passing through the second four-way valve 100 enters the first plate heat exchanger 30 on the user side for condensation and is throttled by the first throttling element 60 on the user side; at the same time, the refrigerant passing through the first four-way valve 90 enters the plate heat exchanger 20 on the water supply side for condensation and is throttled by the throttling element 270 on the water supply side.

During the circulation process, the water in the water flow channel of the first plate heat exchanger 30 on the user side is cooled to provide cold water for the user; the water in the water flow channel of the second plate heat exchanger 40 on the user side is heated to provide hot water for the user, so that the integrated water source machine in the embodiment of the present application can cool and heat water at the same time.

[0054] When the fourth port 94 of the first four-way valve is configured to be connected to the compressor intake port 12, and when hot water is produced, the first port 91 of the first four-way valve is connected to the fourth port 94 of the first four-way valve, then when the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor exhaust port 11 enters the second four-way valve 100, part of the gaseous refrigerant will pass through the first four-way valve 90, and then enter the compressor 10 through the first port 91 of the first four-way valve, the fourth port 94 of the first four-way valve, and the compressor intake port 12. This part of the refrigerant directly enters the compressor 10 without heat exchange, resulting in a reduction in system capacity.

[0055] In order to reduce the degradation of system capability caused by the above situation, in some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a first capillary tube 150 is provided on the connecting pipeline between the fourth port 94 of the first four-way valve and the compressor suction port 12 to play a throttling role, thereby minimizing the amount of refrigerant that directly enters the compressor 10 without heat exchange and ensuring system capacity.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, a first solenoid valve 160 may be further provided on the connecting pipeline between the fourth port 94 of the first four-way valve and the compressor intake port 12. When necessary, the connection between the fourth port 94 of the first four-way valve and the compressor intake port 12 may be directly cut off by closing the first solenoid valve 160.

[0057] Similarly, when the second port 102 of the second four-way valve is configured to be connected to the compressor intake port 12, and when the cooling water is used, the first port 101 of the second four-way valve is connected to the second port 102 of the second four-way valve, then when the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor exhaust port 11 enters the first four-way valve 90, part of the gaseous refrigerant will pass through the second four-way valve 100, and then enter the compressor 10 through the first port 101 of the second four-way valve, the second port 102 of the second four-way valve, and the compressor intake port 12. This part of the refrigerant directly enters the compressor 10 without heat exchange, resulting in a reduction in system capacity.

[0058] In order to reduce the degradation of system capability caused by the above situation, in some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a second capillary tube 170 is provided on the connecting pipeline between the second port 102 of the second four-way valve and the compressor suction port 12 to play a throttling role, thereby minimizing the amount of refrigerant that directly enters the compressor 10 without heat exchange and ensuring system capacity.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the fourth port 94 of the first four-way valve is connected to the connecting pipeline between the third port 93 of the first four-way valve and the compressor intake port 12 via a pipeline, thereby achieving a connection with the compressor intake port 12. Similarly, the second port 102 of the second four-way valve is connected to the connecting pipeline between the third port 93 of the first four-way valve and the compressor intake port 12 via a pipeline, thereby achieving a connection with the compressor intake port 12. After the two parallel branches containing the refrigerant flow channels of the first user-side plate heat exchanger 30 and the second user-side plate heat exchanger 40 converge, they are also connected to the connecting pipeline between the third port 93 of the first four-way valve and the compressor intake port 12, thereby achieving a connection with the compressor intake port 12.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, a second solenoid valve 180 may be further provided on the connecting pipeline between the second port 102 of the second four-way valve and the compressor intake port 12. When necessary, the connection between the second port 102 of the second four-way valve and the compressor intake port 12 may be directly cut off by closing the second solenoid valve 180.

[0061] To facilitate the connection between the first four-way valve 90 and the second four-way valve 100 and the compressor exhaust port 11, in some embodiments of the present application, the compressor exhaust port 11 is connected to a main exhaust pipe 190, and the first port 91 of the first four-way valve and the first port 101 of the second four-way valve are connected in parallel to the main exhaust pipe 190. The main exhaust pipe 190 is divided into two parallel branches, which are respectively connected to the first port 91 of the first four-way valve and the first port 101 of the second four-way valve.

[0062] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present application, an oil separator 200 and a one-way valve 210 are provided on the main outlet pipe 190. The oil separator 200 is located between the compressor exhaust port 11 and the one-way valve 210. The one-way valve 210 is configured to only allow the refrigerant to flow in the exhaust direction of the compressor 10. That is, the one-way valve 210 is configured to only allow the refrigerant to flow toward the location of the first four-way valve 90 and the second four-way valve 100, so as to flow toward the first four-way valve 90 and the second four-way valve 100. The one-way valve 210 acts as a reverse cutoff, preventing the compressor 10 from starting with a pressure differential, thereby protecting the compressor 10. The oil separator 200 achieves gas-oil separation, that is, it can separate the lubricating oil from the gaseous refrigerant.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, the compressor intake port 12 is connected to a gas-liquid separator 220 to separate the gas and liquid of the low-pressure side refrigerant to prevent the liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor 10 and causing compressor liquid hammer.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, a filter 230 is provided on the connecting pipeline between the compressor intake port 12 and the gas-liquid separator 220 so that the low-pressure side refrigerant undergoing gas-liquid separation is further filtered before entering the compressor 10.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the bottom of the oil separator 200 is connected to the gas-liquid separator 220 via an oil return pipe 280, which is equipped with a filter and a third capillary tube 240. After the oil separator 200 separates the lubricating oil from the gaseous refrigerant, the separated lubricating oil is filtered and returned to the compressor 10 to prevent the compressor 10 from burning due to oil shortage.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, the total air outlet pipeline 190 connected to the compressor exhaust port 11 is also connected to a high- and low-pressure bypass pipeline 250. One end of the high- and low-pressure bypass pipeline 250 is connected to the total air outlet pipeline 190 and is located downstream of the one-way valve 210, and the other end is connected to the compressor intake port 12. A bypass solenoid valve 260 is provided on the high- and low-pressure bypass pipeline 250.

[0067] The bypass solenoid valve 260 opens when the high-pressure refrigerant pressure is too high or the low-pressure refrigerant pressure is too low to balance the refrigerant pressure on the high-pressure side and the low-pressure side, so that the refrigerant pressure is within a reliable range, avoiding the impact of high pressure or low pressure on system operation reliability.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, a filter is further provided on the high- and low-pressure bypass line 250 , located between the one-way valve 210 and the bypass solenoid valve 260 .

[0071] The first electronic switch valve 50, the second electronic switch valve 70, the third electronic switch valve 110 and the fourth electronic switch valve 120 are all opened. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 10 enters the water supply side plate heat exchanger 20 for condensation through the oil separator 200, the one-way valve 210 and the first four-way valve 90. It is first throttled by the water supply side throttling element 270 and then divided into two paths to enter the parallel branch of the first plate heat exchanger 30 on the user side, the first throttling element 60 on the user side and the second throttling element 80 on the user side, and then enters the first plate heat exchanger 30 on the user side and the second plate heat exchanger 40 on the user side. It evaporates and exchanges heat in the first plate heat exchanger 30 on the user side and the second plate heat exchanger 40 on the user side, and then returns to the compressor 10 through the first electronic switch valve 50, the second electronic switch valve 70, the third electronic switch valve 110, the fourth electronic switch valve 120, the second four-way valve 100 and the gas-liquid separator 220, completing the cycle.

After being throttled by the user-side first and second throttle elements 60 and 80, respectively, and the water-supply-side throttle element 270, the refrigerant enters the water-supply-side plate heat exchanger 20. The refrigerant then passes through the first four-way valve 90 and the gas-liquid separator 220 and returns to the compressor 10, completing the cycle. During this cycle, the water in the water channels of the user-side first and second plate heat exchangers 30 and 40 is heated, providing hot water for the user.

[0078] The first electronic switch valve 50 is closed, the second electronic switch valve 70 is opened, the third electronic switch valve 110 is opened, and the fourth electronic switch valve 120 is closed; the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 10 passes through the oil separator 200 and the one-way valve 210 and enters the first four-way valve 90 and the second four-way valve 100 respectively; the refrigerant passing through the second four-way valve 100 enters the user-side first plate heat exchanger 30 for condensation and is throttled by the user-side first throttling element 60; at the same time, the refrigerant passing through the first four-way valve 90 enters the water-supply-side plate heat exchanger 20 for condensation and is throttled by the water-supply-side throttling element 270; after throttling, the two refrigerants are mixed and then throttled by the user-side second throttling element 80, enter the user-side second plate heat exchanger 40 for evaporation and heat exchange, and return to the compressor 10 through the second electronic switch valve 70 and the gas-liquid separator 220, completing the cycle.

For example, the fourth port 94 of the first four-way valve and the second port 102 of the second four-way valve are directly welded to prevent the refrigerant without heat exchange from returning directly to the compressor 10.
