[0021] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] This utility model proposes a multi-level detachable hot water unit, including an inlet main pipe 2, an outlet main pipe 3, a refrigerant main inlet pipe 4, a refrigerant main outlet pipe 5, and four heat pump units 1. The inlet main pipe 2 is used to supply cold water, the outlet main pipe 3 is used to output water after heat exchange, and the refrigerant main inlet pipe 4 and the refrigerant main outlet pipe 5 are used to circulate the refrigerant.
[0023] The heat pump unit 1 includes an independent refrigerant system, water system, and electrical terminals. Each heat pump unit 1 can implement complete heat pump heating and cooling functions under the drive of the main electrical control box.
[0024] Any two heat pump units 1 form a group, and the two heat pump units 1 in the group are arranged in series and parallel switching mode, and the water inlet end, water outlet end, heat exchange input end and heat exchange output end of the heat pump unit 1 are respectively communicated with the water inlet main pipe 2, water outlet main pipe 3, refrigerant total inlet pipe 4 and refrigerant total outlet pipe 5.
[0025] The heat pump unit 1 comprises an evaporator 11, and the low-pressure fluorine outlet of the evaporator 11 is communicated with a liquid-gas separator 12, which is composed of a liquid reservoir and a gas-liquid separator, wherein the liquid reservoir is a high-pressure part, and the gas-liquid separator is a low-pressure part. The low-pressure fluorine outlet of the evaporator 11 is communicated with the low-pressure inlet of the liquid-gas separator 12, and the low-pressure outlet of the liquid-gas separator 12 is communicated with a compressor 13. The heat pump unit 1 further comprises a condenser 14, which comprises an overcooling section 141, a saturation section 142 and a superheating section 143. The outlet of the compressor 13 is communicated with the inlet of the superheating section 143, the outlet of the superheating section 143 is communicated with the inlet of the saturation section 142, the outlet of the saturation section 142 is communicated with the high-pressure inlet of the liquid-gas separator 12, the high-pressure outlet of the liquid-gas separator 12 is communicated with the inlet of the superheating section 143, the outlet of the superheating section 143 is communicated with an expansion valve, and the outlet of the expansion valve is communicated with the inlet of the evaporator 11, so as to realize the circulation of the refrigerant in the heat pump unit 1. The refrigerant inlet and refrigerant outlet of the two evaporators 11 are respectively communicated with the refrigerant total inlet pipe 4 and refrigerant total outlet pipe 5, specifically, the two refrigerant inlets are commonly communicated to one refrigerant total inlet pipe 4, and the two refrigerant outlets are commonly communicated to one refrigerant total outlet pipe 5. In this way, the refrigerant circulates in the evaporator 11 to absorb the heat from the heat source circulated by the pipeline.
[0026] The working mode of the heat pump unit 1 is the same as the principle of the existing heat pump, that is, after the refrigerant evaporates, it is input into the low-pressure part of the liquid-gas separator 12 from the evaporator 11, and then the gas-state refrigerant enters the compressor 13 after gas-liquid separation. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas-state refrigerant after compression passes through the superheating section 143 and the saturation section 142 in turn, and becomes high-pressure liquid-state refrigerant. The high-pressure liquid-state refrigerant is input into the high-pressure part of the liquid-gas separator 12, and then is throttled in the expansion valve. The throttled refrigerant is transported back to the evaporator 11 to be circulated and heat-absorbed again.
[0027] The water inlet main pipe 2 is simultaneously communicated to the water inlets of the two overcooling sections 141, the water outlets of the two overcooling sections 141 are combined into one main pipe, and are simultaneously communicated to the water inlets of the two saturation sections 142, the two water outlets of the two saturation sections 142 are also combined into one main pipe, and are simultaneously communicated to the water inlets of the two superheating sections 143, and the two water outlets of the two superheating sections 143 are also combined into one main pipe, and are communicated to the water outlet main pipe 3.
[0028] A three-way valve one 6 is installed on a pipeline connecting the water inlets of the two saturated sections 142, a three-way valve two 7 is installed on a pipeline connecting the water outlets of the two saturated sections 142, the three-way valve one 6 and the three-way valve two 7 are also connected, and the three-way valve one 6 and the three-way valve two 7 are both electric valves.
[0029] A water stop valve 8 is installed on the water inlets and outlets of the supercooling section 141, the saturated section 142 and the superheating section 143, and a water stop valve 8 is also installed on the refrigerant inlet and outlet of the evaporator 11, and the water stop valve 8 is an automatic water stop valve 8.
[0030] A water temperature adjusting valve 31 is installed on the water outlet main pipeline 3 to adjust the water temperature of the output hot water.
[0031] The two groups of heat pump units 1 are also connected in parallel with each other and share one water inlet main pipeline 2, one water outlet main pipeline 3, one refrigerant inlet main pipeline 4 and one refrigerant outlet main pipeline 5.
[0032] It should be noted that only two groups of heat pump units 1 are taken as examples in the present application, and the number thereof can be appropriately increased or decreased according to actual use requirements, and the number of heat pump units 1 in each group is also the same.
[0033] Reference Figure 4 When working in the low-temperature large-flow mode, the implementation process is as follows: all the water stop valves 8 are opened, the channel connecting the three-way valve one 6 and the three-way valve two 7 is closed, the two saturated sections 142 in one group of heat pump units 1 are connected in parallel, the cold water passes through the two saturated sections 142 respectively, then recombines at the outlet of the saturated section 142, and then enters the superheating section 143 for final heating, the water after the final heating is collected to the water temperature adjusting valve 31, is adjusted in temperature by the water temperature adjusting valve 31, reaches the appropriate water temperature, and is then output by the water outlet main pipeline 3.
[0034] Reference Figure 5 When working in the high-temperature water outlet mode, the implementation process is as follows: all the water stop valves 8 are opened, the channel connecting the three-way valve one 6 and the three-way valve two 7 is opened, the other input end of the three-way valve one 6 is closed, and the other output end of the three-way valve two 7 is closed. The two saturated sections 142 in one group of heat pump units 1 are connected in series, the cold water passes through the two saturated sections 142 once, then enters the superheating section 143 for final heating, the water after the final heating is collected to the water temperature adjusting valve 31, is adjusted in temperature by the water temperature adjusting valve 31, reaches the appropriate water temperature, and is then output by the water outlet main pipeline 3.
[0035] When maintenance is performed by disassembling a heat pump unit 1, the implementation process is: all stop valves 8 on the heat pump unit 1 to be disassembled are closed, so that the heat pump unit 1 can be directly disconnected from water, that is, the operation is disconnected, at this time, another heat pump unit 1 in the same group of heat pump units 1 can work independently, and the other group of heat pump units 1 can still be switched in series and parallel, thereby realizing that after disassembling any basic heat pump unit 1, other heat pump units 1 can still operate normally, which is more conducive to maintenance.
[0036] In summary, the multi-level setting can segment the heating process, reasonably allocate each level, optimize the unit working condition, and improve water production and reduce resistance. At the same time, the unit can realize parallel low-temperature large-flow water demand and series high-temperature water production demand, and the multi-level setting provides a premise for series and parallel connection, which is conducive to realizing series and parallel changes in the unit, changing the processing level, thereby widening the application working condition interval, the unit contains multiple small units of the same type, and the degree of the same type is greatly strengthened, which is conducive to the implementation of miniaturization and standardization, thereby creating favorable conditions for batch production. The multiple basic units contained in the unit can be independently disassembled, and if necessary, the problem heat pump unit 1 can be directly replaced, which greatly reduces the requirement for human resources and material consumption, significantly reduces the fluctuation of the entire system after individual failure, and other heat pump units 1 can still operate normally to meet the water demand, thereby reducing the difficulty of after-sales and the impact on the unit during maintenance.
