[0030] An energy storage air conditioning system, referring to Figure 1 , includes a cold and heat source unit 1 and an energy storage water tank 4. The cold and heat source unit 1 is a unit for supplying cooling in summer and heating in winter to the user side. A cold and heat source side supply and return water pipeline 5 is provided between the cold and heat source unit 1 and the energy storage water tank 4. The cold and heat source side supply and return water pipeline 5 includes a cold and heat source side supply water pipe 501 and a cold and heat source side return water pipe 502. The energy storage water tank 4 is also connected to the user side. A user side supply and return water pipeline 6 is provided between the energy storage water tank 4 and the user side. The user side supply and return water pipeline 6 includes a user side supply water pipe 601 and a user side return water pipe 602.

[0031] Specifically, one end of the supply water pipe 501 on the cold and heat source side is connected to the cold and heat source unit 1, and the other end is connected to the supply water pipe 601 on the user side; one end of the return water pipe 502 on the cold and heat source side is connected to the cold and heat source unit 1, and the other end is connected to the return water pipe 602 on the user side. One end of the supply water pipe 601 on the user side, which is far from the supply water pipe 501 on the cold and heat source side, is connected to the user side, and one end of the return water pipe 602 on the user side, which is far from the return water pipe 502 on the cold and heat source side, is connected to the user side.

[0032] A storage water tank pipeline is connected to the energy storage water tank 4. The energy storage water tank 4 includes an upper part and a lower part. The storage water tank pipeline includes a first storage water pipeline 701, a second storage water pipeline 702, a third storage water pipeline 703, and a fourth storage water pipeline 704. One end of the second storage water pipeline 702 is connected to the lower part of the energy storage water tank 4, and the other end is connected to the supply water pipe 501 on the cold and heat source side; one end of the third storage water pipeline 703 is connected to the upper part of the energy storage water tank 4, and the other end is connected to the return water pipe 602 on the user side; one end of the first storage water pipeline 701 is connected to the upper part of the energy storage water tank 4, and the other end is connected to the second storage water pipeline 702; one end of the fourth storage water pipeline 704 is connected to the lower part of the energy storage water tank 4, and the other end is connected to the third storage water pipeline 703.

[0033] Furthermore, the water supply generated by the cold and heat source unit 1 can be stored in the energy storage water tank 4 along the cold and heat source side supply and return water pipeline 5, and transported from the energy storage water tank 4 to the user side through the user side supply and return water pipeline 6. In addition, a butterfly valve for controlling the on-off of the pipeline is provided on each pipeline. Through the design of the butterfly valve and the pipeline of this application, the five operating conditions of energy storage condition, energy release condition, combined supply condition, simultaneous energy storage and supply condition, and main unit single supply condition can be realized, improving the energy-saving effect of the energy storage air-conditioning system of this application.

[0034] Further, an energy storage water pump 2 is installed on the return water pipe 502 on the cold and heat source side, and a energy release water pump 3 is installed on the supply water pipe 601 on the user side. By setting the energy storage water pump 2 and the energy release water pump 3, the water pumps of the energy storage air-conditioning system of this application are divided into two levels. The energy storage water pump 2 bears the resistance loss of the loop of the cold and heat source unit 1, and the energy release water pump 3 bears the resistance loss of the end loop of the energy storage air-conditioning system, improving the operating efficiency of the water pump under different conditions and reducing the energy consumption of the water pump.

[0035] The butterfly valves include a first butterfly valve 801 provided on the third storage water pipeline 703, a second butterfly valve 802 provided on the return water pipe 502 on the cold and heat source side, a third butterfly valve 803 provided on the return water pipe 602 on the user side, a fourth butterfly valve 804 provided on the supply water pipe 501 on the cold and heat source side, a fifth butterfly valve 805 provided on the supply water pipe 601 on the user side, a sixth butterfly valve 806 provided on the first storage water pipeline 701, a seventh butterfly valve 807 provided on the second storage water pipeline 702, and an eighth butterfly valve 808 provided on the fourth storage water pipeline 704.

[0036] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is about how the energy storage air conditioning system of this application realizes the conversion of five operating conditions by controlling the opening and closing of each butterfly valve, energy storage water pump 2 and energy release water pump 3. In addition, the energy storage water tank 4 of this application is set to have an upper part and a lower part. According to the natural law, the temperature in the upper part of the energy storage water tank 4 is higher than that in the lower part. Combining with the design of the first energy storage water pipeline 701 to the fourth energy storage water pipeline 704 of this application, more efficient functions can be achieved. Specifically refer to Figure 2 the energy storage condition and the energy release condition in the heat storage system in

[0037] In the energy storage condition, turn on the energy storage water pump 2 and turn off the energy release water pump 3, so that there is a pressure in the energy storage air conditioning system from the upper part of the energy storage water tank 4 to the lower part of the energy storage water tank 4. At the same time, open the sixth butterfly valve 806 and the eighth butterfly valve 808, so that hot water enters the energy storage water tank 4 from the upper part of the energy storage water tank 4 through the sixth butterfly valve 806. Since the temperature in the upper part is higher, the heat can be more fully retained in the upper part of the energy storage water tank 4; in the energy release condition, turn off the energy storage water pump 2 and turn on the energy release water pump 3. At this time, there is a pressure in the energy storage air conditioning system from the lower part of the energy storage water tank 4 to the upper part of the energy storage water tank 4. At this time, still open the sixth butterfly valve 806 and the eighth butterfly valve 808, so that the hot water can be discharged from the sixth butterfly valve 806 to the user side water supply pipe 601. Since the temperature in the upper part of the energy storage water tank 4 is higher, more heat is discharged to the user side water supply pipe 601.

[0038] The remaining operating conditions are set based on the design concept in the above example and will not be elaborated one by one here. This application uses the opening and closing of the energy storage water pump 2 and the energy release water pump 3 to replace the opening and closing of multiple butterfly valves. By adjusting the flow rates of the energy storage water pump 2 and the energy release water pump 3, flexible conversion among the combined supply condition, the simultaneous energy storage and supply condition, and the single supply of the main unit can be achieved, reducing the number of actions of the butterfly valves, making the control of the energy storage air conditioning system of this application simpler and the system safer.

[0039] In addition, the installation position of the energy storage water tank 4 of this application is higher than that of the cold and heat source unit 1, so that the energy storage water tank 4 can be set at a relatively high position, reducing the pressure isolation plate heat exchanger compared with the conventional water energy storage system, improving the energy storage capacity and energy storage efficiency of the energy storage water tank 4; in addition, the high-position energy storage water tank 4 can be used as a constant pressure make-up water device, reducing the constant pressure make-up water tank in the original system.

[0040] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
