Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of solar collector technology, specifically an air source heat pump with protective functions. Background Technology

[0002] Heat pump technology is a new energy technology that has garnered significant global attention in recent years. A pump, as we know it, is a mechanical device that can increase potential energy; for example, a water pump primarily lifts water from a lower to a higher level. A heat pump, however, is a device that extracts low-grade heat energy from the air, water, or soil in nature, uses electrical energy to perform work, and provides usable high-grade heat energy. Air-source heat pumps operate through a compressor system, absorbing heat from the air to produce hot water. Specifically, the compressor compresses the refrigerant; the heated refrigerant then passes through a condenser in a water tank to produce hot water. After heat exchange, the refrigerant returns to the compressor for the next cycle. During this process, heat from the air is absorbed by the evaporator and transferred into the refrigerant, which is then transferred into the water to produce hot water.

[0003] Heat pumps are generally used in winter and not in summer. However, they are exposed to the elements all summer, and components such as heat exchange fins can easily become covered with dust or insects, requiring timely cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] This utility model discloses an air source heat pump with protective function, including a heat pump body and a protective assembly. The protective assembly includes a frame, a bottom shell, a track, a steel wire rope, a canvas, a sliding member, and a top device. The frame is installed on the outer wall of the heat pump body by screws. The bottom shell is located at the lower end of the frame, the top device is located at the upper end of the frame, and the track is located on both sides of the frame. A roller is provided inside the bottom shell, and the canvas is wound on the roller. A sliding member is provided at one end of the canvas, and a steel wire rope is provided on the sliding member. The two ends of the sliding member are embedded in the track. The top device is connected to the sliding member by multiple steel wire ropes.

[0007] Preferably, the track includes a protective shell and a guide rod. The protective shell is bolted to the frame, the guide rod is installed inside the protective shell, and an opening is provided on one side of the protective shell.

[0008] Preferably, the slider is provided with a guide sleeve, and the slider is sleeved on the guide rod through the guide sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, the top device includes a top housing, a motor, a spool, and a winding device. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the spool, and multiple winding devices are mounted on the spool. One end of the wire rope is wound around the winding device.

[0010] Preferably, both ends of the spool are mounted inside the bottom housing via bearing seats, and both ends of the spool extend outward through the bearing seats. Both ends of the spool extending outward from the bearing seats are connected to a spring.

[0011] Preferably, the motor is electrically connected to the controller located inside the top housing, and the controller is connected to the central controller of the heat pump body via a wiring harness. Beneficial effects

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0013] This utility model discloses an air source heat pump with protective function. During operation, the motor drives the spool to rotate, which in turn drives the winding device to rotate, causing the steel wire rope to contract. This causes the sliding component to slide upward, pulling the canvas up for protection. When winter arrives and the heat pump body needs to be used, the motor reverses, and simultaneously, due to the contraction of the spring, the spool rotates, winding up the canvas. The overall system is highly automated, provides stable protection, and has a good protective effect. Attached Figure Description

[0025] See attached document Figure 1-2This embodiment of an air source heat pump with protective function includes a heat pump body 100 and a protective component 200. The protective component 200 includes a frame 210, a bottom shell 220, a track 230, a steel wire rope 240, a canvas 250, a sliding member 260, and a top device 270. The frame 210 is installed on the outer wall of the heat pump body 100 by screws. The bottom shell 220 is located at the lower end of the frame 210, the top device 270 is located at the upper end of the frame 210, and the track 230 is located on both sides of the frame 210. A roller 221 is provided inside the bottom shell 220, and the canvas 250 is wound on the roller 221. A sliding member 260 is provided at one end of the canvas 250, and a steel wire rope 240 is provided on the sliding member 260. The two ends of the sliding member 260 are embedded in the track 230. The top device 270 is connected to the sliding member 260 by multiple steel wire ropes 240.

[0026] The track 230 in this embodiment includes a protective shell 231 and a guide rod 232. The protective shell 231 is bolted to the frame 210, and the guide rod 232 is installed inside the protective shell 231. An opening is provided on one side of the protective shell 231.

[0027] In this embodiment, the slider 260 is provided with a guide sleeve, and the slider 260 is sleeved on the guide rod 232 through the guide sleeve.

[0028] The top device 270 of this embodiment includes a top shell 271, a motor 272, a spool 273 and a winding device 274. The output shaft of the motor 272 is connected to the spool 273. Multiple winding devices 274 are mounted on the spool 273. One end of the wire rope 240 is wound around the winding device 274.

[0029] In this embodiment, both ends of the spool 221 are mounted inside the bottom shell 220 via bearing seats. Both ends of the spool 221 extend outward through the bearing seats, and both ends of the spool 221 extending outward from the bearing seats are connected to a spring.

[0030] In this embodiment, the motor 272 is electrically connected to the controller located inside the top housing 271, and the controller is connected to the central controller of the heat pump body 100 via a wiring harness.

[0031] Working Principle: When summer arrives and the heat pump is not in use, the heat pump body 100 needs to be protected to prevent excessive dust, impurities, and insects from adhering to the fins. In this design, during operation, the motor 272 drives the spool 273 to rotate, which in turn drives the winding device 274 to rotate, causing the steel wire rope 240 to contract. This causes the sliding component 260 to slide upwards, pulling the canvas 250 upwards for protection. When winter arrives and the heat pump body 100 needs to be used, the motor 272 reverses direction. Simultaneously, due to the contraction of the spring, the winding spool 221 rotates, winding up the canvas 250.

[0032] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
