Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circulating water storage tank technology, specifically a soil source heat pump circulating water storage tank. Background Technology

[0002] A ground source heat pump is a device that utilizes the relatively stable temperature of underground soil at normal temperatures to exchange heat with the interior of a building through a pipeline system buried deep around the building. In winter, it extracts heat from the soil to heat the building, while in summer, it releases heat to the soil to cool the building. Ground source heat pumps need to circulate through a water storage tank during operation to ensure the stability of the pump's operation.

[0003] In existing technologies, circulating water tanks typically require filters to maintain water quality. These filters are usually secured with bolts and threaded holes, but this method requires additional tools, increasing installation time and reducing efficiency. Furthermore, the circulating tank is directly exposed to flowing water, and sometimes the high flow rate can cause pressure on the tank, reducing its lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 A soil source heat pump circulating water storage tank includes a tank body 1, an inner cavity 8 inside the tank body 1, two symmetrical water inlet pipes 2 connected to the inner cavity 8 on the tank body 1, a drain pipe 3 connected to the inner cavity 8 at the bottom of the tank body 1, a Y-shaped guide plate 9 in the inner cavity 8, two symmetrical connecting rods 10 protruding from the guide plate 9, several diversion blocks 11 arranged on the connecting rods 10, an installation groove 21 on one side of the drain pipe 3, a filter screen bracket 13 slidably installed in the installation groove 21, a docking frame 4 installed on the side of the filter screen bracket 13 near the outside, two symmetrical locking blocks 5 protruding from the drain pipe 3, and two locking grooves 12 adapted to the locking blocks 5 on the docking frame 4.

[0026] The interconnected grooves of the connecting rod 10, guide plate 9, and diversion block 11 facilitate the blocking and diversion of the water flow entering from the inlet pipe 2, thereby reducing its flow speed and allowing the water to flow through the filter screen 14 and then be discharged from the drain pipe 3. When the filter screen 14 needs to be replaced, it can be removed from the installation groove 21 through the docking frame 4, thereby achieving quick replacement of the filter screen 14, simplifying the disassembly and assembly of the filter screen 14, and improving the work efficiency during the maintenance of the water tank body 1.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the inner frame 4 has a reset groove 19, and a C-shaped reset slider 17 is slidably installed in the reset groove 19. The reset slider 17 has a protruding locking tongue 16, and the bottom of the locking block 5 has a locking groove 15 that matches the locking tongue 16.

[0028] By cooperating with the reset slide 19, reset slider 17, locking tongue 16 and locking groove 15, the locking tongue 16 on the reset slider 17 can be easily inserted into the locking groove 15 at the bottom of the card block 5 to lock and fix the card block 5 and the docking frame 4.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, a plurality of reset springs 18 are provided in the reset groove 19. One end of the reset spring 18 abuts against the inner wall of the reset groove 19, and the other end of the reset spring 18 abuts against the reset slider 17.

[0030] By setting the reset spring 18, the reset slider 17 can always be pressed against the inner wall of the reset groove 19, thereby keeping the locking tongue 16 pressed against the locking groove 15, thus ensuring the stability of the connection between the docking frame 4 and the card block 5.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, two mutually symmetrical limiting grooves 6 are provided on the inner wall of the reset groove 19. Limiting sliders 20 are slidably arranged in the limiting grooves 6. The limiting sliders 20 are installed on the reset slider 17. The same handle 7 is installed on the two limiting sliders 20.

[0032] It is easy to drive the limiting slider 20 to slide along the limiting groove 6 through the handle 7, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the reset slider 17 to move.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, a plurality of diversion blocks 11 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the connecting rod 10.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cross-section of the docking frame 4 is C-shaped.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
