Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat pump water heaters and bathroom cabinets, in particular to an integrated heat pump water heater. Background Art

[0002] Traditional heat pump water heaters are mainly based on air heat energy, and are designed and installed separately from bathroom cabinets. The water tank of the heat pump water heater is large in size and heavy after filling with water, and the pipelines are exposed. It is difficult to find a reasonable installation location in housing, especially commercial housing. Some people forcibly hang the water tank on the outer wall, which may fall and injure passers-by; in addition, it is difficult to clean the heat pump outdoor unit and water tank. Traditional heat pump water heaters have to be installed on balconies and air conditioner positions. Due to the messy pipelines, the decoration style is extremely unsightly. In addition, the hot water is far away from the water point, which reduces the comfort. The water tank is almost not cleaned due to the inconvenient location, and the water quality is poor. Therefore, heat pump water heaters that use air energy are rare in commercial housing. In addition, traditional heat pump water heaters rarely use solar energy, because the traditional heat pump outdoor unit uses the design of the wall-mounted air conditioner outdoor unit. The air conditioner outdoor unit is mainly for heat dissipation, and its structural design is to avoid sunlight. The heat pump outdoor unit is mainly for heat absorption, and it is unreasonable to use the air conditioner outdoor unit design. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0005] An integrated heat pump water heater comprises a heat pump external unit, a water tank, a pipeline for connecting the heat pump external unit and the water tank, a bathroom cabinet for placing the water tank, a mirror cabinet with a built-in pipeline groove, a bathroom cabinet countertop through which the pipeline passes, and a suspended ceiling. The heat pump external unit is provided with a main unit fin on the outside, and the heat pump external unit is provided with an external unit fan on the inside.

[0006] Preferably, the heat pump outdoor unit has two types of models: left and right pipe connection models.

[0007] Preferably, the main engine fins are arranged laterally in the horizontal direction.

[0008] Preferably, the main engine fins are arranged to be gradually inclined from inside to outside along the main engine fin plane.

[0009] Preferably, the external fan is built-in against the wall.

[0010] Preferably, a partition is fixedly connected to the interior of the bathroom cabinet, and the partition divides the inner cavity of the bathroom cabinet into a hot water tank cabinet and a drain cabinet. A circular hole is penetrated through the inner side of the partition, and the pipeline is connected to the bathroom cabinet countertop through the circular hole.

[0011] Preferably, a pipeline trough is provided inside the mirror cabinet, the top end of the mirror cabinet is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the ceiling, and the bottom end of the mirror cabinet is fixedly connected to the bathroom cabinet countertop.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides an integrated heat pump water heater, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1) Hot water is very close to the water point, at least the toilet equipped with a water heater can achieve the effect of "instant hot water";

[0014] 2) The installation location is more reasonable, more space-saving, more beautiful, and easier to install and operate safely than traditional electric water heaters, gas water heaters, solar water heaters, and balcony-mounted air-energy water heaters;

[0015] 3) The hot water tank is hidden in the bathroom cabinet, so there is no need to pay attention to the appearance, and the production and packaging costs are significantly reduced;

[0016] 4) The toilet has a window, which makes it easier to install and maintain the outdoor unit. The condensed water from the outdoor unit can also be discharged into the sewer nearby. It is easier to clean the inner tank of the hot water tank, the water quality will be better, and the heat exchange efficiency will be higher.

[0017] 5) The fins of the external unit are easier to clean, and the washing wastewater can also be discharged into the sewer. In addition, the heat exchange efficiency is higher than that of traditional models because it can be exposed to the sun.

[0018] 6) Convenient to upgrade, it is convenient to add electric auxiliary heating to the water heater and install a "zero cold water, hot water booster" water pump; mirror cabinets and lower cabinets in bathroom cabinets have larger space than traditional forms and can be designed and utilized;

[0019] 7) It can be easily designed and installed when upgrading the hot water of old commercial houses and new and old self-built houses in rural areas, with good energy-saving effect;

[0020] 8) The unique shape, structure and position arrangement of the main unit fins enable the heat pump outdoor unit to utilize air energy while making full use of solar energy, which is more energy-efficient than traditional heat pump water heaters. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
