In addition, the gas-liquid separator 12 and the liquid storage tank 20 are arranged adjacent to each other and are also located on the same side of the compressor 11.
[0038] Furthermore, in an embodiment where the chassis 110 is a rectangular plate, the compressor 11 and the gas-liquid separator 12 are arranged along the width direction of the chassis 110. In other words, the compressor 11 and the gas-liquid separator 12 are respectively close to the two long sides of the chassis 110 in the first installation area 111, and the liquid storage tank 20 is adjacent to the gas-liquid separator 12 and also close to the long sides of the chassis 110.

In this regard, a fourth installation area 114 is further provided on the chassis 110, and the fourth installation area 114 is located on a side of the third installation area 113 away from the first installation area 111, and the control module 200 is installed in the fourth installation area 114. The installation of the control module 200 in the fourth installation area 114 of the chassis 110 also forms a part of the chassis layout structure of the outdoor unit.
[0043] The control module 200 is electrically connected to the compressor module 10, the indoor heat exchanger module 40 and the shell and tube heat exchanger module 30 respectively to control the start and stop of each module and the operation mode of the unit. The control module 200 may further include an electric control box, a main control board installed in the electric control box, relays, reactance and other electrical components.
[0044] Another example Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the housing, the water tank 50 is in the shell 120, fixedly supported on the chassis 110 by supporting feet and other parts, and is located above the second installation area 112 of the chassis 110, that is, also above the shell and tube heat exchanger module 30, avoiding interference with the shell and tube heat exchanger module 30. The outer surface of the water tank 50 is wrapped with thermal insulation cotton to keep the water tank 50 warm.
[0045] The outdoor heat exchanger module 60 is positioned in the housing 120 above the first installation area 111 and the third installation area 113 , that is, also above the compressor module 10 , the liquid storage tank 20 and the indoor heat exchanger module 40 .

[0047] In some embodiments, the side of the partition 130 facing the bottom plate 110 can be connected to the water receiving tray 140, and the two are connected to form an L-shaped partition, and the inner cavity of the shell can also be divided into a rectangular cavity and an L-shaped cavity. The outdoor heat exchanger module 60 is located in the rectangular cavity, the water tank 50 is located in the long side portion of the L-shaped cavity, and the first installation area 111 to the fourth installation area 114 on the bottom plate are located in the short side portion of the L-shaped cavity.
[0048] The outdoor heat exchanger module 60 may further include an outdoor heat exchanger 61.

[0049] The outdoor heat exchanger module 60 may further include a fan 62. The fan 62 is arranged in the rectangular cavity and located on one side of the outdoor heat exchanger 61. When heating, the fan 62 draws the outside air into the housing to exchange heat with the outdoor heat exchanger 61, so that the refrigerant inside the outdoor heat exchanger 61 absorbs the heat of the outside air; when cooling, the fan 62 blows the heat of the refrigerant released by the outdoor heat exchanger 61 into the outside air.
[0050] The outdoor heat exchanger 61 may be, but is not limited to, a finned heat exchanger.
[0051] Furthermore, in the outdoor unit 100, the compressor 11 is used to compress the refrigerant, and the refrigerant circulates in different refrigerant circulation loops formed by connecting the shell and tube heat exchanger 31, the indoor heat exchanger 41, and the outdoor heat exchanger 61. The outlet of the gas-liquid separator 12 is connected to the inlet of the compressor 11, and the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 12 is connected to each refrigerant circulation loop to receive the refrigerant refluxed from each refrigerant circulation loop, and the refrigerant enters the compressor 11 through the gas-liquid separator 12.
[0052] The liquid storage tank 20 is arranged in the refrigerant circulation loop, receiving and storing liquid refrigerant from the shell and tube heat exchanger 31, the indoor heat exchanger 41 or the outdoor heat exchanger 61. The liquid refrigerant in the liquid storage tank 20 then flows to the indoor heat exchanger 31 or the outdoor heat exchanger 61 and absorbs heat through the evaporation of the liquid refrigerant.
[0053] Combination Figures 1 to 5 The shell and tube heat exchanger 31 includes a refrigerant inlet and a refrigerant outlet connected to the refrigerant inlet. The refrigerant delivered by the compressor 11 enters the shell and tube heat exchanger 31 through the refrigerant inlet, exchanges heat with the water therein, and is output through the refrigerant outlet. In addition, the refrigerant outlet of the shell and tube heat exchanger 31 is connected to the liquid storage tank 20, and the refrigerant outlet of the shell and tube heat exchanger 31 can also be connected to the indoor heat exchanger 41 or the outdoor heat exchanger 61 through a pipeline to form a corresponding loop. The shell and tube heat exchanger 31 also includes a water inlet and a water outlet connected to the water inlet, and the water inlet and the water outlet are connected to the water tank 50. The water in the water tank 50 enters the shell and tube heat exchanger 31 through the water inlet, exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the shell and tube heat exchanger 31, and then returns to the water tank 50 through the water outlet.
[0054] The first water pump 32 of the shell and tube heat exchanger module 30 can be set on the connecting pipeline between the shell and tube heat exchanger 31 and the water tank 50, connected to the water inlet or outlet of the shell and tube heat exchanger 31, and provide power to drive water to circulate between the water tank 50 and the shell and tube heat exchanger 31.
[0055] The outdoor unit 100 may further include a first three-way valve 70, a second three-way valve 80 and a four-way valve 90, which are used to connect the compressor 11, the shell and tube heat exchanger 31, the indoor heat exchanger 41, the outdoor heat exchanger 61, etc., to form different refrigerant circulation loops. Figure 5 As shown, the first three-way valve 70 includes a first valve port 71, a second valve port 72 and a third valve port 73, the second three-way valve 80 includes a fourth valve port 81, a fifth valve port 82 and a sixth valve port 83; the four-way valve 90 includes a seventh valve port 91, an eighth valve port 92, a ninth valve port 93 and a tenth valve port 94.
[0056] exist Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the first valve port 71 of the first three-way valve 70 is connected to the outlet of the compressor 11, the second valve port 72 is connected to the refrigerant inlet of the shell and tube heat exchanger 31, and the third valve port 73 is connected to the seventh valve port 91 of the four-way valve 90. The fourth valve port 81 of the second three-way valve 80 is connected to the seventh valve port 91, the fifth valve port 82 is connected to the refrigerant outlet of the shell and tube heat exchanger 31, and the sixth valve port 83 is connected to the liquid storage tank 20. The eighth valve port 92 of the four-way valve 90 is connected to the indoor heat exchanger 41, the ninth valve port 93 is connected to the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 12, and the tenth valve port 94 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 61.
[0057] The outdoor unit 100 may further include a first expansion valve group and a second expansion valve group, wherein the first expansion valve group is connected to a pipeline between the liquid storage tank 20 and the indoor heat exchanger 41, and the second expansion valve group is connected to a pipeline between the liquid storage tank 20 and the outdoor heat exchanger 61. The first expansion valve group includes a first expansion valve 150, and the second expansion valve group includes a second expansion valve 160.
[0058] In combination with the above valves to realize the connected refrigerant circulation circuit, the outdoor unit of the utility model has multiple operating modes, including refrigeration + full heat recovery mode, refrigeration + partial heat recovery mode, heating + domestic hot water mode, pure hot water mode, heating mode alone and cooling mode alone.
[0059] In the cooling + domestic hot water mode, the full heat recovery method can be used at the beginning. The first valve port 71 and the second valve port 72 of the first three-way valve 70 are connected, and the fifth valve port 82 and the sixth valve port 83 of the second three-way valve 80 are connected. The high-temperature refrigerant from the compressor 11 enters the shell and tube heat exchanger 31. All the heat of the high-temperature refrigerant is heat-exchanged with the domestic hot water in the shell and tube heat exchanger 31, so that when cooling in summer, the condensation heat originally used for heat exchange with the air is all used to prepare hot water, and the outdoor heat exchanger 61 does not need to start heat dissipation. That is, the refrigerant undergoes a phase change at the shell and tube heat exchanger 31, condensing from gas to liquid, releasing latent heat, and directly enters the liquid storage tank 20, and then passes through the first expansion valve 150 to the indoor heat exchanger 41 for evaporation, absorbing indoor heat to achieve the cooling effect, and finally the refrigerant returns to the compressor 11 for a new cycle.
[0060] When the domestic hot water reaches a certain temperature, it can be switched to the refrigeration + partial heat recovery mode. In this mode, the first valve port 71 and the second valve port 72 of the first three-way valve 70 are connected, and the fourth valve port 81 and the fifth valve port 82 of the second three-way valve 80 are connected. The high-temperature refrigerant from the compressor 11 enters the shell and tube heat exchanger 31, and a part of the heat of the high-temperature refrigerant is heat-exchanged with the domestic hot water in the shell and tube heat exchanger 31, and the other part of the heat is released through the outdoor heat exchanger 61. That is, the refrigerant releases sensible heat at the shell and tube heat exchanger 31, and then passes through the four-way valve 90, the outdoor heat exchanger 61, the liquid storage tank 20, and the first expansion valve 150 in sequence to reach the indoor heat exchanger 41 for evaporation, absorbs indoor heat to achieve a refrigeration effect, and finally the refrigerant returns to the compressor 11 for a new cycle.
[0061] In the heating + domestic hot water mode, the first valve port 71 and the second valve port 72 of the first three-way valve 70 are connected, and the fourth valve port 81 and the fifth valve port 82 of the second three-way valve 80 are connected, and the high-temperature refrigerant from the compressor 11 enters the shell and tube heat exchanger 31. Part of the heat of the high-temperature refrigerant is exchanged at the shell and tube heat exchanger 31, and the other part of the heat is released through the indoor heat exchanger 41 to achieve the indoor heating effect. Then the refrigerant passes through the liquid storage tank 20 and the second expansion valve 160 in turn to reach the outdoor heat exchanger 61 for evaporation, absorbs the heat of the outdoor air, and finally returns to the compressor 11 for a new cycle.
[0062] In pure hot water mode, such as in transitional seasons or other special times when the water heater heat pump operates in pure hot water mode, the first valve port 71 and the second valve port 72 of the first three-way valve 70 are connected, and the fifth valve port 82 and the sixth valve port 83 of the second three-way valve 80 are connected, and the high-temperature refrigerant from the compressor 11 enters the shell and tube heat exchanger 31. All the heat of the high-temperature refrigerant is exchanged at the shell and tube heat exchanger 31 to produce hot water, and then passes through the liquid storage tank 20 and the second expansion valve 160 in turn to reach the outdoor heat exchanger 61 for evaporation, absorbs the heat of the outdoor air, and finally returns to the compressor 11 for a new cycle.
[0063] In the single heating mode, the first valve port 71 and the third valve port 73 of the first three-way valve 70 are connected, and the fifth valve port 82 and the sixth valve port 83 of the second three-way valve 80 are connected. After the high-temperature refrigerant comes out of the compressor 11, it passes through the first three-way valve 70 and the four-way valve 90 in sequence and then directly reaches the indoor heat exchanger 41 to release heat, thereby achieving the indoor heating effect. Then the refrigerant passes through the liquid storage tank 20 and the second expansion valve 160 in sequence to reach the outdoor heat exchanger 61 for evaporation, absorbs the heat of the outdoor air, and finally returns to the compressor 11 for a new cycle.
[0064] In the single cooling mode, the first valve port 71 and the third valve port 73 of the first three-way valve 70 are connected, and the fifth valve port 82 and the sixth valve port 83 of the second three-way valve 80 are connected. After the high-temperature refrigerant comes out of the compressor 11, it passes through the first three-way valve 70 and the four-way valve 90 in sequence and then directly reaches the outdoor heat exchanger 61 to release heat. Then, it passes through the four-way valve 90, the outdoor heat exchanger 61, the liquid storage tank 20, and the first expansion valve 150 in sequence to reach the indoor heat exchanger 41 for evaporation, absorbs indoor heat to achieve a cooling effect, and finally the refrigerant returns to the compressor 11 for a new cycle.
[0065] In summary, the outdoor unit of the utility model integrates the compressor module, liquid storage tank, indoor heat exchanger module, outdoor heat exchanger module, water tank, etc. into the shell of the outdoor unit, and arranges them reasonably in the shell to reduce the length of the connecting pipes between the modules and other equipment.
