[0018] The present application embodiment provides a domestic hot water system coupled with a solar energy-based air source heat pump, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown. The domestic hot water system of the solar-coupled air-source heat pump comprises a solar collector panel 1, a heating tank 2, an air-source heat pump 3, a water supply pipe 4 and a plurality of collector tanks 5. The output ends of the solar collector panel 1 are respectively connected to the water inlet ends of the plurality of collector tanks 5, and the first output ends of the plurality of collector tanks 5, the water supply pipe 4 and the domestic hot water return pipe of the user end 6 are all connected to the input end of the solar collector panel 1. The second output ends of the plurality of collector tanks 5 are all connected to the first input end of the heating tank 2, and the first output end of the heating tank 2 is connected to the domestic hot water inlet pipe of the user end 6. The second output end of the heating tank 2 is connected to the input end of the air-source heat pump 3, and the second input end of the heating tank 2 is connected to the output end of the air-source heat pump 3. The first output ends of the plurality of collector tanks 5 are all provided with a first regulating valve 51, and the second output ends of the plurality of collector tanks 5 are all provided with a second regulating valve 52.

[0019] The air source heat pump 3 provided in the embodiment of the present application can solve the problem of low utilization rate of solar energy when the weather is bad. The power of the air source heat pump 3 unit in the embodiment of the present application is designed according to the absence of solar energy. The area of ​​the solar collector panel 1 in the embodiment of the present application is determined according to the load of hot water consumption. When conditions limit it. When the area of ​​the solar collector panel 1 cannot be configured as required, the total volume of the heat collection tank 5 needs to be determined according to the area of ​​the actually configured solar collector panel 1.

[0020] It should be noted that the domestic hot water system of the solar energy coupled air source heat pump of the embodiment of the present application is a closed system, which can well ensure the pressure balance of the water point. The domestic hot water system of the solar energy coupled air source heat pump of the present application adopts a dual heating mode of solar energy and air source heat pump 3. During the day, the heat collecting tank 5 near the input end of the solar collector 1 is first heated, and the corresponding first regulating valve 51 is opened to make its water temperature greater than 55°C. At this time, the first regulating valve 51 at the first output end of the heat collecting tank 5 near the input end of the solar collector 1 is closed, and the other heat collecting tanks 5 are heated in turn; when the water temperature of one of the heat collecting tanks 5 drops to 50°C due to water supply or heat loss, the first regulating valve 51 at the first output end of the heat collecting tank 5 is opened to make its water temperature greater than 55°C; when at the peak of water supply, the second regulating valve 52 of one or two heat collecting tanks 5 with higher water temperature can be opened according to the water temperature of each heat collecting tank 5; when the water temperature of the heating tank 2 is lower than 50°C, the air source heat pump 3 is opened to heat the heat collecting tank 5. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can maximize the utilization of solar energy and adopt a heating method of multiple heat collecting tanks 5, thereby reducing the operating time of the air source heat pump 3, achieving good energy-saving effects and improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0021] In the embodiment of the present application, the domestic hot water system of the solar-coupled air source heat pump also includes a first circulation pump 7, a second circulation pump 8 and a third circulation pump 9. The first circulation pump 7 is arranged between the input end of the air source heat pump 3 and the second output end of the heating tank 2. The second circulation pump 8 is arranged between the input end of the solar collector panel 1 and the first output ends of the plurality of collector tanks 5. The third circulation pump 9 is arranged between the input end of the solar collector panel 1 and the domestic hot water return pipe of the user end 6. The first circulation pump 7, the second circulation pump 8 and the third circulation pump 9 of the embodiment of the present application can overcome the resistance in the pipeline system, so that the fluid can reach a higher flow speed or height.

[0022] In the embodiment of the present application, the domestic hot water system of the solar-coupled air source heat pump further includes a controller 10. The first regulating valve 51 and the second regulating valve 52 are both electric valves. The controller 10 is electrically connected to the first regulating valve 51, the second regulating valve 52, the air source heat pump 3, the first circulating pump 7, the second circulating pump 8 and the third circulating pump 9.

[0023] When the water temperature of the heat collecting tank 5 drops to 50°C, the controller 10 sends a command to the first regulating valve 51 corresponding to the heat collecting tank 5, so that the solar collector panel 1 heats the heat collecting tank 5 with a lower water temperature; when the water supply is at a peak, the controller 10 sends a command to the second regulating valve 52 of the heat collecting tank 5 with a higher water temperature, so that hot water can be supplied to the heating tank 2; when the water temperature of the heat collecting tank 5 is lower than 50°C, the controller 10 sends a command to the air source heat pump 3, so that it can automatically heat the heating tank 2.

[0024] In the embodiment of the present application, a water softener is provided on both the water supply pipe 4 and the domestic hot water return pipe of the user end 6. The water softener in the embodiment of the present application can effectively reduce the hardness of water, separate calcium and magnesium ions in water, and play a role in avoiding pipe blockage.

[0025] In the embodiment of the present application, there are four heat collecting tanks 5. The present application adopts a method of heating by using multiple heat collecting tanks 5, avoiding using a single heat collecting tank 5 to supply water to the heating tank 2, thereby avoiding the slow temperature rise of the heating tank 2. Of course, the heat collecting tanks 5 in the embodiment of the present application are not limited to four, and five or six can be set.

[0026] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.
