Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air source heat pump technology, specifically a protective device for air source heat pumps. 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

[0027] See attached document Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a protective device for an air source heat pump, including a heat pump body 100. A protective component 200 is provided on the outer wall of the heat pump body 100. The protective component 200 includes a base plate 210, a mounting base 220, a rotating frame 230, a top seat 240, and an electric push rod 250. The base plate 210 is bolted to the outer wall of the heat pump body 100. The rotating frame 230 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 220. The mounting base 220 is mounted on the lower end of the base plate 210. The top seat 240 is mounted on the upper end of the base plate 210. The electric push rod 250 is mounted inside the top seat 240. The top seat 240 has an opening, and the output shaft of the electric push rod 250 is located inside the opening. The rotating frame 230 has a slot 231, and a protective component 232 is provided inside the slot 231.

[0028] In this embodiment, the top of the rotating frame 230 is provided with a magnet 233, which is symmetrically arranged on the two side walls of the top of the rotating frame 230.

[0029] In this embodiment, the top seat 240 is provided with inclined plates 241 on both sides, and the inclined plates 241 are provided with sealing grooves. The rotating frame 230 is provided with protruding strips, which are engaged in the sealing grooves.

[0030] In this embodiment, the rotating frame 230 is provided with a fastener 234, and the outer wall of the heat pump body 100 is provided with a fastener 110, with the fastener 234 corresponding to the fastener 110.

[0031] The protective component 232 in this embodiment includes a protective mesh plate and a protective sealing plate, and the protective mesh plate and the protective sealing plate are the same size.

[0032] In this embodiment, the buckle 110 is symmetrically provided with two slides 111. The slides 111 are provided with a ball 112 and a spring 113. The ball 112 is installed in the slide 111 by the spring 113, and the front end of the ball 112 extends out of the slide 111.

[0033] In this embodiment, the fastener 234 has a U-shaped structure and is fastened to the buckle seat 110 by a ball 112.

[0034] Working principle: When the heat pump is not used in summer, the rotating frame 230 can be rotated to the upward position. At this time, the magnet 233 is attracted to the top seat 240 on the heat pump body 100, and the protrusion of the rotating frame 230 is engaged in the sealing groove of the inclined plate 241. At this time, the protective sealing plate is inserted into the slot 231. The protective sealing plate, together with the inclined plate 241, seals and protects the heat pump body 100, preventing impurities or insects from adhering to the heat exchange fins inside the heat pump body 100.

[0035] For winter or when the heat pump body 100 needs to be used, there are two options. One is to directly remove the protective sealing plate and replace it with a protective mesh plate. This option is suitable for areas that need protection from fallen leaves, such as rural or suburban areas with a lot of fallen leaves. For urban or industrial parks, it is not necessary to remove the protective sealing plate. Simply start the electric actuator 250. The electric actuator 250 pushes the rotating frame 230, causing the magnet 233 to detach from the adsorption. At this time, the rotating frame 230 automatically flips under the action of gravity. Then, the fastener 234 is inserted into the fastener 110 for fixation. When sealing protection is needed in the summer, it can be manually flipped back on. At the same time, the heat pump body 100 can be manually inspected.

[0036] 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.
