Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioning equipment, in particular to an air-cooled heat pump air conditioning system. Background Art

[0002] As Figure 5 , the air-cooled heat pump air conditioning system of the prior art includes an outlet pipe 14 with one end open and a return pipe 13 with one end open. A plurality of air-cooled module units 16 are arranged on one side of the outlet pipe 14 at intervals along the axis direction of the outlet pipe 14. The air-cooled module units 16 are connected to the outlet pipe 14 through pipelines. A check valve 17 is connected in series on the pipeline between the air-cooled module units 16 and the outlet pipe 14. The water inlets of the air-cooled module units 16 are respectively connected to one end of a main pipe 18 through pipelines. The other end of the main pipe 18 is connected to a plurality of water pumps 19 through pipelines. The water inlets of the water pumps 19 are connected to the return pipe 13 through pipelines. A fourth temperature sensor 14 is arranged on the side wall of the open end of the outlet pipe 14, and a fifth temperature sensor 15 is arranged on the side wall of the open end of the return pipe 13.

[0003] The air-cooled heat pump air conditioning system of the prior art has the following disadvantages: during operation, the water temperature in the outlet pipe 14 is measured by the fourth temperature sensor 14, and the water temperature in the return pipe 13 is measured by the fifth temperature sensor 15. According to the temperature difference between the water in the outlet pipe 14 and the return pipe 13, it is decided how many air-cooled module units 16 are started for operation. No matter how many air-cooled module units 16 are started for operation, all the water pumps 19 need to be started. If some water pumps are closed, the water flow rate through the air-cooled module units 16 will decrease. When the water flow switch of the air-cooled module unit 16 detects insufficient water flow, an alarm device will be triggered and the air-cooled module unit 16 will be automatically shut down, and the subsequent air-cooled module units 16 cannot be started again; therefore, when the air-cooled heat pump air conditioning system of the prior art is in operation, all the water pumps 19 need to be kept running all the time, resulting in large loss of the service life of the water pumps; when the water pumps are started regularly in winter to prevent freezing, all the water pumps also need to be started, causing large energy consumption. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an air-cooled heat pump air conditioning system which has the characteristics of low energy consumption and low failure rate.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, an air-cooled heat pump air conditioning system provided by the present utility model includes an outlet pipe with an open end and a return pipe with an open end. A plurality of variable-frequency water pumps are arranged on one side of the outlet pipe at intervals along the axis direction of the outlet pipe. The variable-frequency water pumps are connected to the outlet pipe through pipelines. A check valve is connected in series on the pipeline between the variable-frequency water pump and the outlet pipe. The water inlet of the variable-frequency water pump is connected to the air-cooled module unit through a pipeline. The water inlet of the air-cooled module unit is connected to the return pipe through a pipeline. A pressure sensor is inserted through the side wall of the outlet pipe. A first temperature sensor is inserted through the side wall at the open end of the outlet pipe. A second temperature sensor is inserted through the side wall at the open end of the return pipe.

[0006] Further preferably, the frequency converters of the variable-frequency water pumps, the pressure sensor, the first temperature sensor, the switch of the air-cooled module unit, and the second temperature sensor are respectively electrically connected to the controller; the controller can automatically control the operation of the air-cooled heat pump air conditioning system.

[0007] Further preferably, a pressure tank is further included. The pressure tank is connected to the outlet pipe through a pipeline; the pressure tank is used to balance the water volume and pressure in the outlet pipe.

[0008] Further preferably, a maintenance ball valve is connected in series on the pipeline between the check valve and the outlet pipe; the sphere of the maintenance ball valve can be conveniently disassembled, which is convenient for repairing and replacing parts, reduces the maintenance time, and lowers the maintenance cost.

[0009] Further preferably, the controller is a wired controller or a PLC; the controller can also be a single-chip microcomputer or a microcomputer.

[0010] Further preferably, a third temperature sensor for detecting the water temperature in the pump is arranged on the variable-frequency water pump. The third temperature sensor is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the switch of the variable-frequency water pump; when the third temperature sensor detects that the water temperature in the pump is too high, the controller automatically controls the variable-frequency water pump to close.

[0011] Advantages of the present utility model: During operation, the first pressure sensor is used to measure the water pressure in the outlet pipe, the first temperature sensor is used to measure the water temperature in the outlet pipe, and the second temperature sensor is used to measure the water temperature in the return pipe. According to the temperature difference between the water temperatures in the outlet pipe and the return pipe, the number of air-cooled modular units to be started is determined. Each group of air-cooled modular units and variable-frequency water pumps connected by pipelines need to be started or stopped simultaneously, that is, the number of air-cooled modular units to be started is the same as the number of variable-frequency water pumps to be started. The speed of the variable-frequency water pumps to be started is controlled by an inverter to ensure a constant water pressure in the outlet pipe and at the same time ensure that the water flow required by each variable-frequency water pump to be started is sufficient. In this way, it can prevent the alarm device from being triggered and will not cause the automatic shutdown of the air-cooled modular unit and its inability to restart; when the air-cooled heat pump air-conditioning system is operating, it is not necessary to start each variable-frequency water pump, which prolongs the service life of the variable-frequency water pump and reduces the failure rate of the variable-frequency water pump; in winter, only any one variable-frequency water pump needs to be started for antifreeze, saving a large amount of energy consumption; the novel air-cooled heat pump air-conditioning system has the characteristics of low energy consumption and low failure rate.

The water inlet of the air-cooled module unit 5 is connected to the return pipe 2 through a pipeline. A pressure sensor 6 is penetrated through the side wall of the outlet pipe 1. A first temperature sensor 8 is penetrated through the side wall at the open end of the outlet pipe 1.

[0023] Preferably, the frequency converters of the variable-frequency water pumps 3, the pressure sensor 6, the first temperature sensor 8, the switch of the air-cooled module unit 5, and the second temperature sensor 9 are respectively electrically connected to the controller; the operation of the air-cooled heat pump air-conditioning system can be automatically controlled through the controller.

[0024] Preferably, it further includes a pressure tank 10, and the pressure tank 10 is connected to the outlet pipe 1 through a pipeline; the pressure tank 10 is used to balance the water volume and pressure in the outlet pipe 1.

[0025] Preferably, a maintenance ball valve 11 is connected in series on the pipeline between the check valve 4 and the outlet pipe 1; the sphere of the maintenance ball valve can be conveniently disassembled, which is convenient for repairing and replacing parts, reduces the maintenance time, and lowers the maintenance cost.

[0026] Preferably, the controller is a wired controller or a PLC; the controller can also be a single-chip microcomputer or a microcomputer.

[0027] Preferably, a third temperature sensor for detecting the water temperature inside the pump is provided on the variable-frequency water pump 3. The third temperature sensor is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the switch of the variable-frequency water pump 3. When the third temperature sensor detects that the water temperature inside the pump is too high, the controller automatically controls the variable-frequency water pump 3 to shut down.

[0028] During operation, the first pressure sensor 6 is used to measure the water pressure in the water outlet pipe 1, the first temperature sensor 8 is used to measure the water temperature in the water outlet pipe 1, and the second temperature sensor 9 is used to measure the water temperature in the water return pipe 2.

The speed of the variable-frequency water pumps 3 to be turned on is controlled by the frequency converter to ensure that the water pressure in the water outlet pipe 1 is constant, and at the same time, the water flow required by each variable-frequency water pump 3 to be turned on is sufficient. In this way, it can prevent the alarm device from being triggered and will not cause the air-cooled modular unit 5 to automatically shut down and be unable to start again. When the air-cooled heat pump air-conditioning system is working, it is not necessary to turn on each variable-frequency water pump 3, which extends the service life of the variable-frequency water pump 3 and reduces the failure rate of the variable-frequency water pump 3. In winter, only any one variable-frequency water pump 3 needs to be turned on for anti-freezing, saving a large amount of energy consumption. The air-cooled heat pump air-conditioning system of this embodiment has the characteristics of low energy consumption and low failure rate.

It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle described in the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
