[0002] The demand for cold water is mainly concentrated in large commercial agglomerations, such as refrigerated rooms in large shopping malls, hospitals, laboratories and other special places. On the one hand, in order to solve the demand for cold water, additional water-cooling equipment needs to be installed separately. Most of the existing water-cooling equipment uses water cooling, air cooling and other methods for cooling. The cooling process not only causes a large amount of power consumption, but also increases the operating cost; on the other hand, since air source heat pumps are also widely used for heating in the above scenarios, in autumn and winter, a large amount of cold air will be discharged into the air when the air source heat pump is heating, resulting in waste of cold air. If it is recovered and used in places with a demand for cooling, it can save the additional electricity cost while achieving the purpose of cooling. Therefore, an air source heat pump cold air recovery and utilization device is proposed to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] Further, a fan is arranged inside the cold air collecting box, the fan is close to the air inlet pipe and the air inlet end of the fan is arranged facing the air outlet end of the air inlet pipe.

[0007] Further, the heat exchange pipe is in a waveform or S shape, the input end of the heat exchange pipe is arranged close to the bottom of the cold air collecting box, and the output end of the heat exchange pipe is arranged close to the top of the cold air collecting box.

[0008] Further, the air outlet openings are arranged close to the bottom of the cold air collecting box.
