[0002] Geothermal heat pump systems, also known as ground source heat pumps, use ground energy (soil, groundwater, surface water, low-temperature geothermal water, and tailwater) as the cooling source for summer cooling and the low-temperature heat source for winter heating. They are systems that provide heating, cooling, and domestic hot water. They are used to replace the traditional mode of using chillers and boilers for air conditioning, heating, and hot water supply. They are an effective way to improve the urban atmospheric environment and save energy, and also a new development direction for the utilization of ground source energy in China.

[0003] During operation, the internal electrical equipment of a ground source heat pump unit can easily generate a lot of heat. Usually, a cooling fan is used to dissipate the heat from the ground source heat pump unit to the outside as waste heat, which is quite wasteful of energy. Therefore, a ground source heat pump waste heat utilization device is needed to meet the demand. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ground source heat pump waste heat utilization device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a ground source heat pump waste heat utilization device, comprising a ground source heat pump main unit and a waste heat collection device. The waste heat collection device consists of a support leg, a housing, a collection hood, a heat-conducting pipe, spiral blades, a spiral water pipe, an air outlet pipe, and an exhaust pipe.

The heat-conducting pipe is connected to the top of the housing. The air outlet pipe is connected to the top of the housing. The inner side of the spiral blades is connected to the outer wall of the air outlet pipe, and the outer side is connected to the inner wall of the housing. The heat-conducting pipe is connected to the spiral space of the spiral blades. The spiral water pipe is arranged in the spiral space of the spiral blades, with one upper end extending outward from the housing as an inlet and the lower end extending outward from the housing as an outlet. The exhaust pipe is connected to the top of the housing and is connected to the air outlet pipe.

[0006] Preferably, a water outlet pipe is connected to the bottom end of the box, and a valve is installed on the water outlet pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the box is funnel-shaped, with the smaller opening at the bottom, which is connected to the water outlet pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the enclosure is provided with a heat insulation layer.

[0011] Preferably, the exhaust pipe is a right-angle bend.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] In this invention, the heat generated by the operation of the ground source heat pump unit is collected by a collection hood and guided into the housing through a heat pipe. The heat moves within the spiral space of the spiral blades and exchanges heat with the cold water in the spiral water pipe, thereby heating the cold water in the spiral water pipe. The outlet end of the spiral water pipe can be connected to the daily water supply end. After being cooled, the heat discharged by the ground source heat pump unit is discharged from the spiral space of the spiral blades and discharged through the air outlet pipe and exhaust pipe, realizing the heat dissipation effect of the ground source heat pump unit and achieving the secondary utilization of the discharged heat.

[0014] In this invention, heat flows within the spiral space of the spiral blades, alternating with the cold water in the spiral water pipe. During this process, condensate is generated on the outer wall of the spiral water pipe. Under the airflow effect generated by the heat flow, the condensate flows out from the spiral space and falls to the bottom of the housing for collection. Through the setting of the outlet pipe and valve, the condensate can be utilized, further improving the utilization rate of waste heat from the ground source heat pump unit.

The heat-conducting pipe 6 is connected to the top of the housing 4. The exhaust pipe 9 is connected to the top of the inside of the housing 4. The inner side of the spiral blade 7 is connected to the outer wall of the exhaust pipe 9, and the outer side is connected to the inner wall of the housing 4. The heat-conducting pipe 6 is connected to the spiral space of the spiral blade 7. The spiral water pipe 8 is arranged in the spiral space of the spiral blade 7, with one upper end extending outward from the housing 4 as a water inlet and the other lower end extending outward from the housing 4 as a water outlet.

Through the installation of the water outlet pipe 11 and the valve 12, the condensate can be utilized, further improving the utilization rate of waste heat of the ground source heat pump host 1.

[0024] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bottom of the box 4 is funnel-shaped, with the smaller opening at the bottom, which is connected to the water outlet pipe 11, so that the condensate can flow out of the water outlet pipe 11 more effectively from the bottom of the box 4.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the collection cover 5 is funnel-shaped, with the larger opening end positioned at the heat dissipation port of the ground source heat pump host 1, and the smaller opening end connected to the heat conduction pipe 6, which facilitates the effective collection of heat discharged by the ground source heat pump host 1.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the collection cover 5 is connected to the heat dissipation port of the ground source heat pump host 1 by a number of screws 13, so as to realize the detachable connection between the waste heat collection device 2 and the heat dissipation port of the ground source heat pump host 1.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, an insulation layer 14 is provided on the outer wall of the box 4 to improve the insulation effect of the box 4 and prevent heat loss.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the exhaust pipe 10 is a right-angle bend, which has a certain rainproof effect and prevents rainwater from flowing back into the housing 4.
