Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air source heat pumps, in particular to a defrosting structure of an air source heat pump unit. Background Art
[0002] In the cold winter, air source heat pump units are usually used to heat the indoor environment. However, in the prior art, since the temperature of the outdoor environment is usually low in winter, when the coil temperature of the outdoor unit is lower than the dew point temperature of the outdoor air, the coil of the outdoor unit will usually frost. A large amount of frost accumulates on the outdoor unit coil, which will greatly weaken the heat transfer performance of the evaporator. At the same time, it hinders the air flow between the outdoor unit coils and increases the energy loss of the fan. Therefore, in order to improve the heating efficiency of the heat pump, the heat pump needs to be defrosted in time. However, the existing heat pump defrosting system is usually complex in structure and consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, it is necessary to design an ultra-low temperature air source heat pump defrosting device.
[0003] For example, the utility model with announcement number CN208846784U relates to the technical field of air source heat pumps, specifically a super-low temperature air source heat pump defrosting device, comprising an outer shell and an ultra-low temperature air source heat pump body, the ultra-low temperature air source heat pump body is arranged inside the outer shell, and a defrosting mechanism is installed in the outer shell; the defrosting mechanism is composed of a pair of heating lamps with the same structure, a pair of thermal resistance wire meshes with the same structure, a pair of rectangular grooves with the same structure, a pair of circular through holes with the same structure, a pair of fans with the same structure, a timer and a temperature sensor. The utility model relates to the technical field of air source heat pumps, can effectively defrost, drain water in time, can sense the amount of water, replace it in time, and can perform timed defrosting, with high intelligence.
[0004] In the process of implementing this application, it was found that the technology has the following problems: the defrost device needs to use the heating component for heating all the time, which wastes energy. When the heating component is turned off, in cold temperatures, water droplets are likely to condense again on the surface of the defrost component, affecting the working efficiency of the unit.
