[0039] Figure 1 The combined cycle heat pump system shown is implemented as follows:

[0040] (1) Structurally, it mainly consists of an internal combustion engine, a high-temperature heater, a steam generator, a compressor, a heater, a booster pump, a throttle valve, an evaporator, and an injector; it has an external air passage connected to the internal combustion engine 1, an external fuel passage connected to the internal combustion engine 1, a cooling medium passage connected to the outside, a gas passage connected to the high-temperature heater 2 and the steam generator 3, and then connected to the outside; the compressor 4 has a refrigerant vapor passage connected to the heater 5; the heater 5 also has a condensate pipeline connected to the booster pump 6. The heater 5 is connected to the steam generator 3, and the condensate pipeline is connected to the evaporator 8 via the throttle valve 7. The steam generator 3 also has a working steam channel connected to the high-pressure steam inlet of the ejector 9. The evaporator 8 also has a refrigerant steam channel connected to the low-pressure steam inlet of the ejector 9.

[0041] (2) In terms of process, external fuel and air enter the internal combustion engine 1, and complete a series of processes including combustion and expansion in the cylinder of the internal combustion engine 1. After the internal combustion engine 1 completes its work, the gas flows through the high-temperature heater 2 and the steam generator 3 to gradually release heat and cool down before being discharged to the outside. The cooling medium flows through the cooling cylinder liner of the internal combustion engine 1 to carry away the discharged cooling heat load. The refrigerant vapor discharged by the compressor 4 enters the heater 5 to release heat and condense, and then splits into two paths - the first path flows through the booster pump 6 to pressurize and then enters the steam generator 3 to absorb heat and vaporize, and the second path flows through the throttle valve 7 to reduce pressure and cool down before entering the evaporator 8 to absorb heat and vaporize. The steam generated by the steam generator 3 enters the injector 9 through the high-pressure steam inlet. The high-pressure steam flows through the nozzle to reduce pressure and increase speed and form a low-pressure The refrigerant vapor emitted from the evaporator 8 is drawn into the low-pressure zone of the injector 9. After the two vapors are mixed, they flow through the diffuser to reduce speed and increase pressure, forming medium-pressure refrigerant vapor, which is then supplied to the compressor 4. The fuel provides the driving heat load through combustion. The heated medium obtains the medium-temperature heat load through the high-temperature heater 2 and the heater 5, respectively. The low-temperature heat medium provides the low-temperature heat load through the evaporator 8. The air and gas carry away the exhaust heat load through the inlet and outlet process, and the cooling medium carries away the exhaust cooling heat load through the inlet and outlet of the internal combustion engine. The mechanical energy output by the internal combustion engine 1 is supplied to the compressor 4 as power, or the mechanical energy output by the internal combustion engine 1 is supplied to the compressor 4 and the outside as power, or the internal combustion engine 1 and the outside jointly provide power to the compressor 4, forming an internal combustion engine type combined cycle heat pump system.
