[0022] The water distribution manifold 5 includes a water distributor 51 and a water collector 52; it is a known technology, and the use of the water distribution manifold is a known technology.

[0023] An electric heater 7 is installed inside a buffer water tank 2; the main outlet pipe 1A and the main return pipe 1B are connected to the buffer water tank 2, and the first water pump 81 is installed on the main return pipe 1B; the cold / heating water supply pipe, the water distributor, the cold / heating terminal 6, the water collector, the cold / heating return pipe, and the buffer water tank 2 constitute a cold / heating circulation loop, and the second water pump 82 is installed on the cold / heating water supply pipe; the stove water heat exchanger and the insulated water tank 4 constitute a heating circulation loop, and the third water pump 83 is installed on the return pipe of the heating circulation loop; the insulated water tank 4 is connected to the cold / heating water supply pipe through an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe; the insulated water tank 4 is equipped with a water supply pipe, a water supply valve, and a domestic water output pipe.

[0024] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes a first switching valve 91, a second switching valve 92, and a third switching valve 93.

[0025] The first switch valve 91 is installed on the cold / heated water supply pipe, and the second switch valve 92 and the third switch valve 93 are installed on the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe, respectively. The inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are connected to the cold / heated water supply pipe at the inlet end and the outlet end of the first switch valve 91, respectively, to realize water circuit switching.

[0026] As a further improvement of this utility model: a first water filter 101 is provided on the main return water pipe 1B between the first water pump 81 and the buffer water tank 2.

[0029] As a further improvement of this utility model: a second water filter 102 is provided on the pipeline at the outlet end of the second water pump 82.

[0030] The cooling / heating terminal 6 includes underfloor heating pipes 61 or radiators 62 and a floor cooler 63; the floor cooler includes a casing, a compressor, a water-side heat exchanger, an indoor evaporator, a fan, and a drip tray; the water-side heat exchanger of the floor cooler is connected to a water distributor and a water collector; this has been disclosed in Chinese Patent 202110943456.1, entitled "A Heat Pump Air Conditioner with Dehumidification Function".

[0031] During cooling, indoor air is condensed by the indoor evaporator to achieve dehumidification;

[0032] When heating, indoor air releases heat through the indoor evaporator, raising the air temperature and promoting indoor air circulation.

[0033] When using this utility model,

[0034] (I) Low-temperature air source heat pump air conditioning unit heating system: When the air source heat pump is used for heating alone, the first switch valve 91 is open, and the second switch valve 92 and the third switch valve 93 are closed; the heat pump unit 1 is working, the first water pump 81 is working, and the water-side heat exchanger circulates the water in the heating buffer tank; at the same time, the second water pump 82 is working, and hot water is input into the cold / heat terminal 6. The cold / heat terminal 6 exchanges heat with the indoor air to achieve indoor temperature rise;

[0035] (II) Heat Recovery Auxiliary Heating System for Wood-fired Stove 3: When the third water pump 93 operates, the stove water heat exchanger and insulated water tank 4 of the wood-fired stove 3 circulate and heat the water, raising the water temperature in the insulated water tank 4. The hot water can then be used to assist the low-temperature air-source heat pump air conditioning unit in heating, quickly raising the indoor temperature so that the main unit reaches the set temperature and stops, thereby reducing the main unit's power consumption. Furthermore, the stored hot water can be used for domestic hot water (bathing, washing hands, washing vegetables, etc.), avoiding the use of an electric water heater and thus saving electricity. During heating, the first switch valve 91 is closed, and the second switch valve 91 and the third switch valve 93 are opened to release the hot water stored in the stove heat recovery system for room heating. The floor-cooled unit 63 can also provide heating.

[0036] (III) Air source heat pump air conditioning unit cooling system: In summer, when the air source heat pump air conditioner is cooling, the heat pump unit 1 is turned on and the water in the buffer water tank 2 is continuously cooled by the circulating water pump 1. The second water pump 92 works and outputs the cold water from the buffer water tank 2 to the cold / warm terminal for heat exchange, thereby lowering the room temperature. The underfloor heating pipe radiant cooling method is used to achieve a windless feeling and bring people a cave-like comfort. When cooling, the first switch valve 91 is opened and the second switch valve 92 and the third switch valve 93 are closed to cut off the hot water from the stove circulating heat preservation water tank 4. At this time, the hot water in the stove circulating heat preservation water tank 4 is mainly used for bathing.

[0037] (iv) Floor-cooled refrigeration and dehumidification system: Floor-cooled units replace ceiling-mounted fan coil units for cooling and dehumidification. The floor-cooled units are installed against the wall like radiators. The compressor condenser inside the floor-cooled unit uses cold water in the pipes for water-to-water heat exchange to achieve condensation. The indoor evaporator blows out cold air for air heat exchange to cool the room. At the same time, the floor-cooled unit reduces the humidity in the room and avoids condensation on the floor due to the cooling of the underfloor heating pipes, thus achieving a dehumidification effect. Because the floor-cooled unit does not require ceiling installation or the laying of ceiling pipes, the engineering installation cost is low and maintenance is convenient.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand 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 claims and their equivalents.
