[0032] The working principle of this utility model:

[0033] Heating: This system achieves the purpose of increasing the heating capacity by adding a heat exchanger 113. During heating, the refrigerant is compressed by the compressor 111 and comes out from the exhaust port through the four-way valve 112, and then goes to the plate heat exchanger 121 to exchange heat with the inlet and outlet water components 2 for condensation, and then passes through the heat exchanger 113 to exchange heat with the low-temperature refrigerant on the return air side, which further achieves the effect of supercooling the refrigerant, and then passes through the electronic expansion valve 114 (throttling component) for throttling, and then goes to the fin heat exchanger 131 for heat exchange, and after evaporation, passes through the heat exchanger 113 to exchange heat with the condensed refrigerant, further increasing the refrigerant pressure and temperature on the suction side, thereby increasing the heat exchange capacity and improving the reliability of the system.

[0034] Refrigeration: During refrigeration, the refrigerant is compressed by the compressor 111, comes out from the exhaust port, passes through the four-way valve 112, and then goes to the fin heat exchanger 131 to exchange heat with the air and condense, and then passes through the electronic expansion valve 114 for throttling. After throttling, it enters the plate heat exchanger 121 and exchanges heat with the inlet and outlet water components 2 for evaporation (at this time, the high-pressure and medium-temperature refrigerant does not pass through the heat exchanger 113, and is stopped by the second one-way valve 116), returns to the heat exchanger 113 (at this time it is equivalent to a gas-liquid separator), and then returns to the suction port of the compressor 111 for compression, and repeats the cycle.

[0035] The above is only an embodiment of the utility model. The common sense such as the known specific structure and characteristics in the scheme is not described in detail here.
