Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a heat pump antifreeze control device based on photovoltaic solar energy. Background Art

[0002] In Northeast my country and some cities with lower temperatures, sudden power outages in winter every year will cause heat pump units in large areas to freeze and damage. This is because the anti-freeze operation of the heat pump unit requires electrical energy to support the relevant logical operation of the unit. Therefore, the installation and use of the heat pump unit also clearly points out that it is strictly forbidden to cut off the power to the heat pump unit in winter and when the temperature is low, or the water in the unit must be drained before the power is cut off. However, when encountering a sudden power outage, the water is often unable to be drained in time, which causes the heat pump unit to freeze and damage. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above problems, the utility model provides a heat pump antifreeze control device based on photovoltaic solar energy, which effectively solves the problems pointed out in the background technology.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0005] A heat pump antifreeze control device based on photovoltaic solar energy comprises a circuit board, a heat pump unit, a water pump, a battery connected to the circuit board, an ambient temperature detection mechanism and a heat pump outlet water temperature detection mechanism, wherein the battery is provided with a photovoltaic solar panel for charging the battery, the circuit board is connected to the heat pump unit via a power failure detection circuit, and is connected to the water pump via a solar power supply circuit.

[0006] Preferably, the heat pump outlet water temperature detection mechanism is arranged on the outlet pipe of the heat pump unit.

[0007] Preferably, the ambient temperature detection mechanism is used to detect the external environment temperature, and the heat pump outlet water temperature detection mechanism is used to detect the outlet water temperature of the heat pump unit. Both the ambient temperature detection mechanism and the heat pump outlet water temperature detection mechanism are temperature sensors.

[0008] By detecting the external ambient temperature and the outlet water temperature, data is provided for the solar power supply circuit to control the water pump when the heat pump unit is powered off. When the external ambient temperature is low and the outlet water temperature is low, the heat pump unit may be frozen. The water pump operation is controlled by the solar power supply circuit to keep the water in the heat pump unit flowing to avoid freezing of the heat pump unit.

[0009] The utility model charges the storage battery through the photovoltaic solar panel, and when the heat pump unit is powered off and may cause the heat pump unit to freeze, the storage battery is used to provide electric energy for the water pump to keep the water in the heat pump unit flowing, thereby preventing the heat pump unit from freezing.

[0024] 2. If the power-off detection circuit detects that the heat pump unit has no electricity, it means that the heat pump unit may be at risk of freezing, and the following control is performed: a. If the ambient temperature detected by the ambient temperature detection mechanism is less than or equal to B℃, and the outlet water temperature detected by the heat pump outlet water temperature detection mechanism is less than or equal to A℃, the circuit board will control the solar power supply circuit to power the water pump, so that the water in the heat pump unit remains flowing, thereby achieving the purpose of anti-freezing; b. During the execution of a, if the ambient temperature detected by the ambient temperature detection mechanism is greater than C℃, the circuit board will control the solar power supply circuit to stop supplying power to the water pump.
