For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood by specific circumstances.
[0036] It should be noted that the height direction Z of the housing 10 is the vertical direction, and the length direction Y of the housing 10 is the horizontal direction.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model discloses an outdoor unit, including a housing 10, a domestic water tank 11, a domestic hot water heat exchanger 12 and a hot water pump 13, as follows:
[0038] The domestic water tank 11 is used to store domestic water, and the domestic water tank 11 is installed inside the housing 10 .
[0039] The domestic hot water heat exchanger 12 is used to prepare hot water by exchanging heat between a refrigerant and the water in the domestic water tank 11. The hot water pump 13 is used to provide power for the water circulation between the domestic water tank 11 and the domestic hot water heat exchanger 12. The hot water pump 13 is arranged in the water inlet pipe or the water outlet pipe of the domestic hot water heat exchanger 12. The domestic hot water heat exchanger 12 and the hot water pump 13 are installed inside the outer casing 10 and are located below the corresponding domestic water tank 11.
[0040] This embodiment makes the domestic water tank 11, the domestic hot water heat exchanger 12 and the hot water pump 13 highly integrated, which is beneficial to the layout optimization of the outdoor unit, realizes a miniaturized design, and is also convenient for the design and arrangement of pipelines, which is beneficial to reduce the pipelines between the domestic hot water heat exchanger 12 and the domestic water tank 11, avoiding the loss of heat and pipeline pressure during hot water transportation due to excessively long pipelines.
[0041] In some embodiments, the domestic water tank 11 is installed vertically. It should be noted that the vertical installation extends along the height direction Z of the shell 10. Since the density of hot water is lower than that of cold water, compared with the horizontal installation of the domestic water tank 11, the vertical installation of the domestic water tank 11 is conducive to allowing the prepared hot water to quickly rise to the top of the domestic water tank 11, so that the hot water outlet 114 at the top can quickly obtain high-temperature hot water, thereby improving the water discharge volume, water discharge rate and hot water supply capacity. In some embodiments, the domestic water tank 11 is a metal tank body, such as a stainless steel cylindrical tank body. The outer wall surface of the domestic water tank 11 is wrapped with thermal insulation cotton, such as polyurethane foam, and the heat loss of the prepared hot water is prevented by wrapping the thermal insulation cotton. The stainless steel cylindrical tank body, the thermal insulation cotton and the polyurethane foam here are only examples and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0042] In some embodiments, an electric auxiliary heater, such as an electric heating rod, is provided inside the domestic water tank 11. In order to monitor the temperature inside the domestic water tank 11 in real time, a temperature detector, such as a thermometer, is provided inside the domestic water tank 11. The electric heating rod and the thermometer are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0043] In some embodiments, scale is generated after water is heated, and the scale may cause corrosion to the domestic water tank 11. A water softening device and / or an anti-corrosion layer is provided inside the domestic water tank 11. For example, the water softening device is a magnesium rod, and the anti-corrosion layer is a metal coating. After the magnesium rod is placed in the domestic water tank 11, the magnesium rod releases magnesium ions, so that the water alkali and scale in the domestic water tank 11 are reduced, effectively preventing a large amount of scale from attaching to the inner wall of the domestic water tank 11, thereby avoiding corrosion to the domestic water tank 11.
[0044] In some embodiments, a pressure relief device (not shown) is provided on the top of the domestic water tank 11, and the pressure relief device is used to release the pressure inside the domestic water tank 11. For example, the pressure relief device is an exhaust valve, and the exhaust valve here is only an example and is not intended to limit the present application.
[0045] In some embodiments, the domestic hot water heat exchanger 12 is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, and the shell-and-tube heat exchanger is arranged around the periphery of the hot water pump 13 along the height direction Z of the housing 10 to fully utilize the peripheral space of the hot water pump 13. The pipes inside the shell-and-tube heat exchanger can carry two heat exchange media, refrigerant and water, which are separated by copper pipes and heat exchanged, thereby providing hot water for the domestic water tank 11. The shell-and-tube heat exchanger here is only an example and is not intended to limit the present application.
[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the outdoor unit further includes a water tank bracket 32, and the housing 10 includes a chassis 103, and the chassis 103 is used to be fixed on an external fixture, such as fixed on the ground. The water tank bracket 32 is fixed on the chassis 103, and the domestic water tank 11 is installed on the water tank bracket 32 so that a first accommodation space is formed between the bottom of the domestic water tank 11 and the chassis 103, and the domestic hot water heat exchanger 12 and the hot water pump 13 are located in the first accommodation space.
[0047] In some embodiments, the domestic water tank 11 extends to the first accommodating space and is fixedly connected to the chassis 103 .
[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the outdoor unit further includes a first heat exchanger bracket 33 , which is fixed on the chassis 103 , and the domestic hot water heat exchanger 12 is mounted on the first heat exchanger bracket 33 .
[0049] In some embodiments, the outdoor unit further includes a first water pump bracket (not shown), and the hot water pump 13 is installed at the corresponding lower part of the domestic water tank 11 through the first water pump bracket.

The gaps left at both ends during the original installation are changed to gaps left on one side, and the installation space has wide adaptability and can save installation space. At the same time, since the outdoor heat exchanger 14 is set separately, it can also ensure that there is enough ventilation on the heat exchanger side to ensure heat exchange efficiency, and avoid the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor heat exchanger 14 from decreasing due to insufficient ventilation space.
[0054] It should be noted here that one side and the other side inside the housing 10 refer to two sides in the length direction Y of the housing 10 .
