A fifth transfer pump 16 is installed on the connecting pipe between the second input terminal of the medium-deep heat pump unit 2 and the output terminal of the end user 8. The input terminal of the return water pipe 5 is connected to the output terminal of the end user 8, and the output terminal of the return water pipe 5 is connected to the input terminal of the water distributor 4. When heating demand is high, shallow heat pump unit 1, medium-deep heat pump unit 2, first transfer pump 17, second transfer pump 18 and third transfer pump 19 are turned on. Then, shallow buried pipe 6 and medium-deep geothermal well 7 work simultaneously. The extracted geothermal energy is heated by shallow heat pump unit 1 and medium-deep heat pump unit 2 and then used together with the heat energy provided by gas heating module 3 to provide heating to end users 8. This not only eliminates the need to build a new machine room, but also reduces heating costs.

[0024] In practical applications, this heating system also includes a switching pipe 9, a first valve 10, and a second valve 11.

Figure 2 As shown, when heating demand is relatively low, the second valve 11 is opened, the first valve 10 and the gas heating module 3 are closed, and heating is supplied through the shallow buried pipe 6 and the medium-deep geothermal well 7; Figure 3As shown, when heating demand is lower, the second valve 11 is opened, and the first valve 10, gas heating module 3, and shallow heat pump unit 1 are closed, with heating supplied only through the medium-deep geothermal well 7. This heating method fully leverages the clean and energy-saving advantages of geothermal energy, minimizing the consumption of traditional energy sources while meeting heating demands.

[0025] In this embodiment, the heating system further includes a first filter 12. The first filter 12 is installed on the return water pipe 5.

When it is necessary to supplement the shallow buried pipe 6 with heat from the medium-deep geothermal well 7 and the heat from the medium-deep geothermal well 7 is sufficient, the second transfer pump 18 is activated. When it is necessary to supplement the shallow buried pipe 6 with heat from the medium-deep geothermal well 7 and the heat from the medium-deep geothermal well 7 is insufficient, the medium-deep heat pump unit 2, the fifth transfer pump 16, and the second transfer pump 18 are activated so that the medium-deep heat pump unit 2 can heat the water output from the medium-deep geothermal well 7 to the required temperature. This application can supplement the shallow buried pipe 6 with heat from the medium-deep geothermal well 7, which not only effectively utilizes idle energy during the non-heating season but also maintains the heating capacity of the shallow buried pipe 6, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the heating system.
