[0003] However, in practical applications, due to the Earth's rotation and revolution, the sun's position and angle in the sky are constantly changing. Traditional fixed-angle installation means that the solar collector's orientation and tilt angle are fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the sun's actual position and angle. This results in the collector not receiving maximum solar radiation when the sun's position changes, causing energy loss.
[0004] Based on this, this utility model proposes an intelligent control solar and air energy composite heat source collector to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model;
[0028] Reference Figure 1-6 A smart controlled solar and air source heat pump collector includes a water tank 1. A solar electric heating panel 2 is installed on the top of the water tank 1, which absorbs solar radiation energy and converts it into heat energy to heat the water in the water tank 1. A heat exchanger 3 is fixedly installed at one end of the water tank 1, and an air source heat pump 4 is installed on the top of the heat exchanger 3. When solar energy is insufficient or the ambient temperature is low, the air source heat pump 4 starts to work. It absorbs heat energy from the air and uses the heat exchanger 3 to transfer this heat energy to the water in the water tank 1, thereby achieving heating. The air source heat pump 4 has a high energy efficiency ratio and can effectively extract heat energy at low ambient temperatures and convert it into usable heat energy, while combining the advantages of two clean energy sources: solar energy and air source heat pump. This system can greatly improve energy efficiency. Under sufficient sunlight, the solar electric heating panel 2 can undertake most of the heating tasks. When solar energy is insufficient, the air source heat pump 4 can serve as an effective supplement. Compared with traditional single-energy heating systems, this system can significantly reduce energy consumption and operating costs. The top of the water tank 1 is rotatably mounted with an installation plate 5, and the solar electric heating panel 2 is rotatably mounted on the installation plate 5. An adjustment component 6 is installed between the solar electric heating panel 2 and the installation plate 5. The adjustment component 6 allows the solar electric heating panel 2 to be adjusted according to the position and angle of the sun to ensure maximum absorption of solar radiation energy. The adjustment component 6 can change the orientation and tilt angle of the solar electric heating panel 2, thereby optimizing its heat collection efficiency.
[0029] The adjusting assembly 6 includes an adjusting plate 601, with threaded blocks 602 fixedly installed at both ends of the adjusting plate 601. Two lead screws 603 are rotatably mounted on the top of the mounting plate 5, with the two threaded blocks 602 threaded onto the two lead screws 603 respectively. Two connecting plates 604 are fixedly installed on the back of the mounting plate 5, each with a sliding groove 605. Two connecting seats 606 are fixedly installed on the top of the adjusting plate 601, sliding within the two sliding grooves 605 respectively. By simultaneously rotating the two lead screws 603, the position of the threaded blocks 602 on the lead screws 603 can be adjusted, thereby moving the adjusting plate 601 and its two connecting seats 606. Simultaneously, the connecting seats 606 slide eastward relative to the connecting plates 604, thus achieving precise adjustment of the angle of the solar electric heating panel 2. This allows for adjustment based on different sun positions and angles to adapt to different weather conditions and seasonal changes, maximizing the absorption of solar radiation and improving heat collection efficiency.
[0030] The adjustment assembly 6 also includes a first motor 607, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 5. A first bevel gear 608 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the first motor 607. A second bevel gear 609 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of one of the two lead screws 603. The first bevel gear 608 and the second bevel gear 609 are meshed together. When the first motor 607 starts, it drives the first bevel gear 608 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 609 meshing with it to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw 603 to rotate. When the lead screw 603 rotates, the threaded block 602 moves along the axial direction of the lead screw 603. At the same time, since the threaded blocks 602 are fixedly installed at both ends of the adjusting plate 601, the adjusting plate 601 also moves with the movement of the threaded blocks 602. Thus, the tilt angle of the solar electric heating plate 2 is adjusted through the connecting seat 606 and the connecting plate 604, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the angle of the solar electric heating plate 2. This adjustment method is not only highly accurate, but also easy to operate, which greatly improves the flexibility and adaptability of the system.
[0031] Two lead screws 603 are each fixedly mounted with a transmission gear 7 at their lower ends. A transmission rack 8 is installed between the two transmission gears 7, and both transmission gears 7 are meshed with the transmission rack 8. Both transmission gears 7 and the transmission rack 8 are located above the second bevel gear 609. When the first motor 607 starts, the first bevel gear 608 at its output end begins to rotate. The first bevel gear 608 meshes with the second bevel gear 609, driving one of the lead screws 603 and its lower transmission gear 7 to rotate. Since both transmission gears 7 are meshed with the transmission rack 8, the rotating transmission gear 7 pushes the transmission rack 8, which in turn drives the other transmission gear 7 and its fixed lead screw 603 to rotate through the meshing relationship. In this way, the two lead screws 603 achieve synchronous rotation, enhancing the stability and synchronicity of the system and ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the adjusting plate 601 when adjusting the angle.
[0032] A reflector 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 5, and the solar electric heating plate 2 and the reflector 9 are arranged opposite each other. The reflector 9 can reflect sunlight and concentrate it onto the solar electric heating plate 2, thereby increasing the amount of solar radiation received by the solar electric heating plate 2. This helps to improve the heat collection efficiency of the system, enabling the solar electric heating system to reach the required temperature in a shorter time, or to generate more heat energy in the same amount of time.
[0033] Mounting plate 5 is rotatably mounted on top of water tank 1 via mounting shaft 10. Mounting shaft 10 is a key component connecting water tank 1 and mounting plate 5, ensuring that mounting plate 5 can rotate around mounting shaft 10. A first spur gear 11 is fixedly mounted on mounting shaft 10, while a second motor 12 is fixedly mounted on top of water tank 1. A second spur gear 13 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the second motor 12, and this gear meshes with the first spur gear 11. When the second motor 12 starts, its output end drives the second spur gear 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the first spur gear 11 and mounting shaft 10 to rotate through the meshing relationship, ultimately realizing the rotation adjustment of mounting plate 5. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation and speed of the second motor 12, the rotation direction and speed of mounting plate 5 can be controlled, so that the orientation of mounting plate 5 can be adjusted according to the position and angle of the sun to ensure that solar electric heating panel 2 can receive solar radiation energy to the maximum extent.
[0034] Two mounting rods 14 are fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 5. The main function of these two mounting rods 14 is to support and fix the light sensor 15. The light sensor 15 is a sensor that can detect the intensity of light or lighting conditions. They usually work based on the photoelectric effect principle. When light shines on the light sensor 15, it triggers the internal circuit to generate an electrical signal. The intensity of this signal is proportional to the intensity of the light. In this system, the light sensor 15 is used to monitor the intensity and direction of sunlight in real time. By comparing the light intensities received by the two light sensors 15, the system can determine the approximate position of the sun and adjust the angle of the mounting plate 5 accordingly to ensure that the solar electric heating panel 2 can receive solar radiation energy to the maximum extent. A temperature sensor 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the air source heat pump 4. The installation of the temperature sensor 16 allows the air source heat pump 4 to sense the temperature of its working environment or internal environment in real time, and make corresponding adjustments. This helps to ensure the efficient operation of the heat pump in different seasons and weather conditions, improve energy utilization efficiency, and reduce operating costs.
[0035] A first connecting pipe 17 is installed between the water tank 1 and the solar electric heating panel 2, connecting the solar electric heating panel 2 and the water tank 1, allowing heated water to flow into the water tank 1. A second connecting pipe 18 is installed between the water tank 1 and the heat exchanger 3, connecting the water tank 1 and the heat exchanger 3, allowing water to flow from the water tank 1 to the heat exchanger 3 when needed. A third connecting pipe 19 is installed between the first connecting pipe 17 and the heat exchanger 3, connecting the first connecting pipe 17 and the heat exchanger 3, providing another water flow path for hot water. A three-way valve 20 is installed at the connection between the first connecting pipe 17 and the third connecting pipe 19 to control the water flow path. When solar energy is abundant, the solar electric heating panel 2 absorbs solar radiation and converts it into heat energy to heat the water in the first connecting pipe 17. At this time, the three-way valve 20 is adjusted to allow the water to flow directly into the water tank 1 through the first connecting pipe 17. When solar energy is insufficient or air source heat pump 4 is needed for auxiliary heating, the three-way valve 20 is adjusted to allow the water to flow through the third connecting pipe 19 to the heat exchanger 3. In the heat exchanger 3, the water may be further heated by the heat energy provided by the air source heat pump 4, and then flow back to the water tank 1 or be used through other paths. By combining the use of the solar electric heating panel 2 and the air source heat pump 4, the system can efficiently utilize energy under different operating conditions. The flexible switching of the three-way valve 20 ensures that the system can adjust the water flow path according to actual needs, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency and helping to cope with different weather conditions and hot water usage needs.
[0036] Working Principle: When the system starts, it first performs initialization operations, including checking the status of each component, calibrating sensors, and setting initial parameters. The system automatically detects information such as the current sun position, ambient temperature, and water temperature in water tank 1, providing a basis for subsequent control strategies. The light sensor 15 monitors the intensity and direction of sunlight in real time and feeds the data back to the control system. Based on the data from the light sensor 15, the control system adjusts the orientation and tilt angle of the solar electric heating plate 2 through the adjustment component 6 to ensure maximum absorption of solar radiation energy. During the adjustment process, the first motor 607 drives the first bevel gear 608 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 609 and the lead screw 603 meshing with it to rotate. The threaded block 602 moves along the lead screw 603, thereby adjusting the adjustment plate 601 and the solar electric heating plate 2. The angle of the solar heating plate 2 is adjusted by the synchronous action of the two transmission gears 7 and the transmission rack 8, which ensures the smooth rotation of the two lead screws 603 and the stable movement of the adjusting plate 601. When the angle of the sun changes, the second motor 12 starts, driving the first spur gear 11 installed at its output end to rotate, thereby driving the second spur gear 13 meshing with it and the mounting shaft 10 to rotate, thus adjusting the orientation of the solar heating plate 2. When there is sufficient solar energy, the solar heating plate 2 absorbs solar radiation energy and converts it into heat energy to heat the water in the first connecting pipe 17. At this time, the three-way valve 20 is in the state of allowing water to flow directly into the water tank 1 through the first connecting pipe 17, realizing the solar heating process. The reflector 9 reflects sunlight and concentrates it on the solar heating plate 2, further improving the heat collection efficiency.
[0037] When solar energy is insufficient or the ambient temperature is low, the air source heat pump 4 starts to work. The temperature sensor 16 senses the working environment or internal temperature of the air source heat pump 4 in real time and feeds the data back to the control system. The control system adjusts the working state of the air source heat pump 4 according to the data from the temperature sensor 16 and the current water temperature requirement. In the heat exchanger 3, the air source heat pump 4 absorbs heat energy from the air and transfers this heat energy to the water in the water tank 1 through the heat exchanger 3. At this time, the three-way valve 20 is adjusted to allow water to flow to the heat exchanger 3 through the third connecting pipe 19, realizing the auxiliary heating process of the air source heat pump 4.
