Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of soil source heat pump heating technology, and in particular to an energy-saving supplementary heating device for soil source heat pumps. Background Technology
[0002] A soil source heat pump is an energy-saving and environmentally friendly system that utilizes shallow geothermal resources as a heat source and cold source to provide heating, cooling, and domestic hot water to buildings through a heat pump unit. Its core principle involves heat exchange between the soil and underground closed heat exchange pipes. Taking advantage of the relatively stable soil temperature, heat is absorbed from the soil in winter to heat the building, and released back into the soil in summer to cool the building. This simultaneously achieves seasonal energy storage and conversion. The energy-saving supplementary heating device is a key component of this system. It combines solar panels to collect heat, which is then heated by a medium in a water tank before entering the underground pipes to further heat the soil, enhancing the system's winter heating capacity. For example, when solar energy is abundant, solar energy is prioritized for heating the medium, reducing the energy consumption of the heat pump unit.
[0003] Traditional solar panels are typically cleaned solely by natural wind or rainwater. However, the cleaning effectiveness is highly dependent on environmental factors. In arid or low-wind areas, dust easily accumulates, forming a layer of dirt that significantly reduces light transmission. Furthermore, large particles of debris can easily adhere to the surface of the solar panels. Therefore, a soil-source heat pump energy-saving supplementary heating device is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as dust accumulation in arid or low-wind areas, which significantly reduces light transmission and makes it easy for large particles of debris to adhere to the surface of solar panels. Therefore, this invention proposes a soil source heat pump energy-saving supplementary heating device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A soil-source heat pump energy-saving heating device includes a heat pump, a water tank, and a solar panel. A pipe is connected to the heat pump, water tank, and solar panel. A base is movably connected to the bottom of the solar panel. A first support is mounted on the upper part of the base. A first movable plate is movably connected to the inner side of the first support. A second support is mounted on the upper part of the first movable plate. A second movable plate is movably connected to the inner side of the second support. The solar panel is mounted at the end of the second movable plate. Airflow assemblies are provided on both the second and first support. Each airflow assembly includes a third rotating rod rotatably connected to the sides of both the second and first support, multiple fan blades mounted on the outer side of the third rotating rod, an outer shell mounted on the outer side of both the second and first support, a first flexible hose mounted on the outer side of the outer shell, a second flexible hose mounted on the sides of both the second and first support, a second movable plate mounted on the sides of both the second and first support, and a transmission unit that drives the fan blades to rotate when the first movable plate rotates. The solar panel is equipped with a first nozzle and a second nozzle on its outer side. The first nozzle is connected to a second hose, and the second nozzle is connected to the first hose. The forward and reverse rotation of the second and first movable plates drives the fan blades to rotate in the same direction. The first and second hoses, respectively, drive the second nozzle and the first nozzle to alternately blow and suck. This alternating blowing and sucking action effectively cleans dust and impurities from the surface of the solar panel, reducing dust obstruction of sunlight and ensuring efficient heating. Multiple protrusions are installed on the sides of both the second and first movable plates. A round rod is installed on the inner side of the second and first support bases, positioned along the movement trajectory of the protrusions. The protrusions press against the arc-shaped surface of the round rod, and the force generated by this pressing causes the second and first movable plates to move laterally back and forth, thereby moving the solar panel back and forth. This lateral shaking action shakes off large particles of debris from the surface of the solar panel, further improving the cleaning effect.
[0006] The above technical solution further includes: A second servo motor is mounted on the side of the second support base, and a first servo motor is mounted on the side of the first support base. A first rotating rod is mounted on the output end of both the second and first servo motors. The second movable plate and the first movable plate are respectively movably connected to the outside of the first rotating rod.
[0007] A circular plate is installed on the outer side of the first rotating rod, and telescopic rods are symmetrically installed on the side of the circular plate. The sides of the second movable plate and the first movable plate are fixedly connected to the ends of the two telescopic rods.
[0008] The contact surfaces of the protrusion and the round rod are both arc-shaped, and the protrusion presses against the arc-shaped surface of the round rod.
[0009] The transmission unit includes a first gear mounted on the outer side of a first rotating rod, a second gear rotatably connected to both the second support base and the side of the first support base, a third gear mounted on the side of the second gear, a second rotating rod rotatably connected to both the second support base and the side of the first support base, and a fourth gear mounted on the outer side of the second rotating rod. The first gear meshes with the second gear, and the third gear meshes with the fourth gear. The third rotating rod is mounted on the side of the fourth gear away from the second rotating rod. When the first gear rotates, it drives the fourth gear to rotate through the second gear. When the fourth gear rotates, it drives the second rotating rod to rotate through the fourth gear.
[0010] The gear ratio between the first gear and the second gear is 10:1, the gear ratio between the second gear and the third gear is 1:10, and the gear ratio between the third gear and the fourth gear is 10:1.
[0011] A first connecting pipe is installed on the side of the outer casing, and a first flexible hose is installed on the side of the first connecting pipe. The first flexible hose is connected to the outer casing through the first connecting pipe.
[0012] The second support base and the inner side of the first support base are both equipped with a second connecting pipe. The second flexible hose is installed on the side of the second connecting pipe and is connected to the outer shell through the second connecting pipe.
[0013] The solar panel is equipped with a third connecting pipe and a fourth connecting pipe at both ends. The two second flexible hoses are solidly connected to the third connecting pipe. The end of the third connecting pipe away from the second flexible hose is fixedly connected to the first nozzle. The two first flexible hoses are solidly connected to the fourth connecting pipe. The end of the fourth connecting pipe away from the first flexible hose is fixedly connected to the second nozzle.
[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this invention, by setting up an airflow component, during the adjustment of the solar panel's angle 4, the third rotating rod automatically drives the fan blades to rotate and generate airflow. The air is drawn in by the first nozzle and blown in by the second nozzle, forming an air curtain on the surface of the solar panel. Furthermore, the fan blades can rotate in both directions according to the angle change, allowing the first and second nozzles to alternately blow and suck, effectively cleaning dust and impurities from the surface of the solar panel, reducing the obstruction of sunlight to the solar panel by dust, and ensuring efficient heating of the solar panel.
[0015] 2. In this invention, when the second movable plate and the first movable plate rotate, they drive the protrusion to press the arc surface of the round rod. Using the force generated by the pressing, the second movable plate and the first movable plate move back and forth laterally, thereby driving the solar panel to move back and forth. The lateral shaking method can shake off large particles of debris on the surface of the solar panel, further improving the cleaning effect of the solar panel. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] Example 1 like Figure 1 - Figure 6As shown, the present invention proposes a soil source heat pump energy-saving heat supplementation device, including a heat pump 1, a water tank 3, and a solar panel 4. A pipe 2 is installed between the heat pump 1, the water tank 3, and the solar panel 4. A base 5 is movably connected to the bottom of the solar panel 4. A first support 6 is installed on the upper part of the base 5. A first movable plate 7 is movably connected to the inner side of the first support 6. A second support 9 is installed on the upper part of the first movable plate 7. A second movable plate 10 is movably connected to the inner side of the second support 9. The solar panel 4 is installed at the end of the second movable plate 10. Both the second support base 9 and the first support base 6 are equipped with airflow components. The airflow components include a third rotating rod 23 rotatably connected to the sides of both the second support base 9 and the first support base 6; multiple fan blades 24 mounted on the outer side of the third rotating rod 23; an outer shell 17 mounted on the outer side of both the second support base 9 and the first support base 6; a first flexible hose 26 mounted on the outer side of the outer shell 17; a second flexible hose 28 mounted on the sides of both the second support base 9 and the first support base 6; a second movable plate 10 mounted on the sides of both the second support base 9 and the first support base 6; and a transmission mechanism that drives the fan blades 24 to rotate when the first movable plate 7 rotates. The unit comprises a solar panel 4 with a first nozzle 30 and a second nozzle 32 mounted on its outer side. The first nozzle 30 is connected to a second flexible hose 28, and the second nozzle 32 is connected to a first flexible hose 26. The forward and reverse rotation of the second movable plate 10 and the first movable plate 7 drives the fan blades 24 to rotate in the same direction. The first flexible hose 26 and the second flexible hose 28, respectively, drive the second nozzle 32 and the first nozzle 30 to alternately perform blowing and suction actions. This alternating blowing and suction action of the first nozzle 30 and the second nozzle 32 effectively cleans dust and impurities from the surface of the solar panel 4, reducing the impact of dust on the solar panel. The shading of the solar panel ensures efficient heating of the solar panel 4. Multiple protrusions 14 are installed on the sides of the second movable plate 10 and the first movable plate 7. The inner sides of the second support base 9 and the first support base 6 are equipped with round rods 13 that are on the movement trajectory of the protrusions 14. The protrusions 14 press the arc-shaped surface of the round rods 13. The force generated by the pressing causes the second movable plate 10 and the first movable plate 7 to move back and forth laterally, thereby driving the solar panel 4 to move back and forth. The lateral shaking method can shake off large particles of debris on the surface of the solar panel 4, further improving the cleaning effect of the solar panel 4.
[0020] A second servo motor 11 is mounted on the side of the second support base 9, and a first servo motor 8 is mounted on the side of the first support base 6. A first rotating rod 12 is mounted on the output end of both the second servo motor 11 and the first servo motor 8. The second movable plate 10 and the first movable plate 7 are respectively movably connected to the outside of the first rotating rod 12.
[0021] The transmission unit includes a first gear 18 mounted on the outer side of a first rotating rod 12, a second gear 19 rotatably connected to the sides of both the second support base 9 and the first support base 6, a third gear 20 mounted on the side of the second gear 19, a second rotating rod 21 rotatably connected to the sides of both the second support base 9 and the first support base 6, and a fourth gear 22 mounted on the outer side of the second rotating rod 21. The first gear 18 meshes with the second gear 19, and the third gear 20 meshes with the fourth gear 22. The third rotating rod 23 is mounted on the side of the fourth gear 22 away from the second rotating rod 21. When the first gear 18 rotates, it drives the fourth gear 22 to rotate through the second gear 19. When the fourth gear 22 rotates, it drives the second rotating rod 21 to rotate through the fourth gear 22.
[0022] The gear ratio between the first gear 18 and the second gear 19 is 10:1, the gear ratio between the second gear 19 and the third gear 20 is 1:10, and the gear ratio between the third gear 20 and the fourth gear 22 is 10:1.
[0023] A first connecting pipe 25 is installed on the side of the outer casing 17, and a first flexible hose 26 is installed on the side of the first connecting pipe 25. The first flexible hose 26 is connected to the outer casing 17 through the first connecting pipe 25.
[0024] The second support base 9 and the first support base 6 are both equipped with a second connecting pipe 27 on their inner sides. The second flexible hose 28 is installed on the side of the second connecting pipe 27 and is connected to the outer shell 17 through the second connecting pipe 27.
[0025] The solar panel 4 is equipped with a third connecting pipe 29 and a fourth connecting pipe 31 at both ends. The two second hoses 28 are solidly connected to the third connecting pipe 29. The end of the third connecting pipe 29 away from the second hoses 28 is fixedly connected to the first nozzle 30. The two first hoses 26 are solidly connected to the fourth connecting pipe 31. The end of the fourth connecting pipe 31 away from the first hoses 26 is fixedly connected to the second nozzle 32.
[0026] In this embodiment, the heat pump 1 drives the liquid circulation in the pipe 2 to utilize the soil heat source. When energy-saving heating is required, solar energy is first collected by the solar panel 4, and the internal medium is heated by the water tank 3. Then, the liquid enters the underground pipe and stores the heat in the soil. When the solar panel 4 is collecting solar energy, the angle of the solar panel 4 can be adjusted according to the angle of the sun's irradiation on the solar panel 4. The first servo motor 8 can be activated to drive the first rotating rod 12 and the first movable plate 7 to rotate, thereby driving the solar panel 4 to rotate through the second support base 9 and the second movable plate 10, thus adjusting the left and right angle of the solar panel 4. At the same time, the second servo motor 11 can be activated, which drives the first rotating rod 12 and the second movable plate 10 to rotate, and simultaneously drives the solar panel 4 to rotate, thus adjusting the tilt angle of the solar panel 4. While the first rotating rod 12 is rotating, the first gear 18 can also be rotated. When rotating, the second gear 19 drives the fourth gear 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the second rotating rod 21 to rotate, and simultaneously drives the third rotating rod 23 to rotate. The rotation of the third rotating rod 23 generates airflow, which is drawn through the first nozzle 30, the third connecting pipe 29, and the second flexible hose 28, and then exhausted through the first flexible hose 26, the fourth connecting pipe 31, and the second nozzle 32 and blown onto the surface of the solar panel 4. Thus, the first nozzle 30 draws air, and the second nozzle 32 blows air, forming an air curtain on the surface of the solar panel 4. Furthermore, depending on the angle change when adjusting the solar panel 4, the first rotating rod 12 drives the fan blades 24 to rotate in both directions. The airflow generated by the forward and reverse rotation of the fan blades 24 is different, which drives the second nozzle 32 and the first nozzle 30 to alternately blow and suck, thereby cleaning the dust and impurities on the surface of the solar panel 4 and ensuring that the solar panel 4 is heated efficiently.
[0027] Example 2 like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, a circular plate 15 is installed on the outer side of the first rotating rod 12, and telescopic rods 16 are symmetrically installed on the side of the circular plate 15. The sides of the second movable plate 10 and the first movable plate 7 are fixedly connected to the ends of the two telescopic rods 16.
[0028] The contact surfaces of the protrusion 14 and the round rod 13 are both arc-shaped, and the protrusion 14 presses against the arc-shaped surface of the round rod 13.
[0029] In this embodiment, when the second movable plate 10 and the first movable plate 7 rotate, the protrusion 14 can simultaneously squeeze the arc-shaped surface of the round rod 13. The squeezing force can cause the second movable plate 10 and the first movable plate 7 to move back and forth laterally along the first rotating rod 12 through the support and telescopic properties of the telescopic rod 16, thereby driving the solar panel 4 to move back and forth, which can shake off large particles of debris on the surface of the solar panel 4.
