[0046] Embodiment 2

[0047] As Figures 7-9 , the present embodiment provides an air conditioner, which comprises a heat pump air conditioner indoor unit and a heat pump air conditioner outdoor unit 9 connected through a refrigerant connecting pipe. The heat pump air conditioner indoor unit comprises the above-mentioned air conditioning radiant heating device. The air conditioning radiant heating device is provided with two parallel refrigerant pipelines. One pipeline is connected to the evaporator 2 through a control valve A11, and the other pipeline is connected to the radiant heat coil 3 through a control valve B12. The two refrigerant pipelines are controlled through the control valve A11 and the control valve B12, respectively. The two refrigerant pipelines are combined into one refrigerant pipeline in parallel. The combined refrigerant pipeline is connected to the heat pump air conditioner outdoor unit 9.

[0048] One or more of the heat pump air conditioner indoor units are connected to share one heat pump air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0049] The control valve A11 and the control valve B12 are selected from one of an electronic expansion valve, a check valve and an electronic one-way valve, which is not limited herein.

[0050] The heat pump air conditioner outdoor unit 9 comprises a compressor 8, an outdoor fan 7, a condenser 10 and a four-way valve 13. The exhaust end of the compressor 8 is connected to the high-pressure end of the four-way valve 13 for controlling the flow direction of the refrigerant. The return end of the compressor 8 is connected to the low-pressure end of the four-way valve. One passage of the four-way valve 13 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 10. The outlet of the condenser 10 is connected to the refrigerant pipeline of the heat pump air conditioner indoor unit. The outdoor fan 7 is located at the rear end of the condenser 10 and is connected to the heat dissipation air duct of the condenser 10. The outdoor condenser is air-cooled and heat-dissipated through the inherent air duct of the outdoor unit. The outdoor fan 7 is composed of an outdoor fan motor and an axial flow fan blade.

[0051] As Figures 3-4 , the heat pump air conditioner outdoor unit 9 comprises a compressor 8, an outdoor fan 7, a condenser 10 and a four-way valve 13. The exhaust end of the compressor 8 is connected to the high-pressure end of the four-way valve 13 for controlling the flow direction of the refrigerant. The return end of the compressor 8 is connected to the low-pressure end of the four-way valve. One passage of the four-way valve 13 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 10. The outlet of the condenser 10 is connected to the refrigerant pipeline of the heat pump air conditioner indoor unit. The outdoor fan 7 is located at the rear end of the condenser 10 and is connected to the heat dissipation air duct of the condenser 10. The outdoor condenser is air-cooled and heat-dissipated through the inherent air duct of the outdoor unit. The outdoor fan 7 is composed of an outdoor fan motor and an axial flow fan blade.

[0052] The flow direction of the refrigerant is controlled by the four-way valve. The refrigerant passes through the condenser, which is forcibly heat-dissipated by the outdoor fan 7. After heat-dissipation, the refrigerant is condensed into liquid refrigerant, which is sent to the indoor unit through the indoor-outdoor unit connecting liquid pipe. The indoor unit provides convection cooling (the control valve A is opened, the evaporator refrigerant flows through, the indoor fan works, and the convection cooling works. At the same time, the control valve B is closed, the radiant heat coil has no refrigerant flowing through, and the work of the radiant part is stopped.)

[0053] The refrigerant passes through the evaporator, is refrigerated and evaporated, forms a supersaturated refrigerant gas, is transported back to the outdoor unit compressor through the indoor-outdoor unit connecting gas pipe, and completes the refrigeration cycle.

[0054] As Figures 5-6 Air conditioner heating operation

[0055] The refrigerant flow is controlled by the four-way valve. The refrigerant from the compressor outlet passes through the four-way valve and is sent to the indoor and outdoor unit connecting pipe, to the indoor evaporator and the radiant heat coil.

[0056] As Figure 9 , working mode 1 radiant heating (control valve A is closed, no refrigerant flows through the evaporator, the indoor fan stops working, and the convection heating is closed. At the same time, control valve B is opened, the refrigerant flows through the radiant heat coil, heating the radiant heating plate, and the radiant heating works.)

[0057] As Figure 8 , working mode 2 radiant and convection heating (control valve A is opened, the refrigerant flows through the evaporator, the indoor fan works, and the convection heating works. At the same time, control valve B is opened, the refrigerant flows through the radiant heat coil, heating the radiant heating plate, and the radiant heating works.)

[0058] Working mode 3 convection heating (control valve A is opened, the refrigerant flows through the evaporator, the indoor fan works, and the convection heating works. At the same time, control valve B is closed, no refrigerant flows through the radiant heat coil, and the radiant heating stops working.)

[0059] The opening and closing of control valve A and control valve B can obtain different heating forms. The refrigerant flowing through the indoor unit passes through the indoor and outdoor unit connecting liquid pipe, is sent to the outdoor unit, passes through the outdoor unit condenser to return to the compressor, and completes the heating cycle.

[0060] Figure 6 The annular arrow from the air supply port to the return air port indicates the convection heating of the room. The horizontal arrow of the radiant heating plate indicates the radiant heating of the room.

[0061] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.

[0062] The above and other aspects and features of the present application are described in the following detailed description and will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the drawings and the detailed description. Accordingly, the application is not limited to the embodiments described herein, but can be practiced with modification and alteration within the scope of the present application.
