Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an integrated device for a geothermal heating system based on the coupling of a plate heat exchanger and a two-stage heat pump. It is applicable to the field of geothermal heating. Background Technology
[0002] Geothermal heating systems refer to heating systems that utilize geothermal energy as the primary heat source. Geothermal energy is an energy source inherent in the Earth itself and is considered a renewable energy source. Geothermal heating systems can be categorized into direct heating and indirect heating based on how the geothermal flow enters the system. Direct heating involves directly introducing the geothermal flow into the heating system, while indirect heating involves the geothermal flow transferring heat to the circulating water of the heating system through a heat exchanger, without the geothermal flow directly entering the system. When developing a geothermal heating plan, it is necessary to consider both the comprehensive utilization of geothermal energy for heating, hot water supply, and industrial, agricultural, and livestock purposes, as well as the tiered utilization of geothermal energy to maximize the temperature difference of the geothermal flow and thus maximize the utilization of geothermal energy.
[0003] However, it still has some drawbacks. For example, the entire geothermal heating system is basically composed of multiple plate heat exchangers and heat pumps. The main function of the plate heat exchangers is heat conduction and convection. The existing plate heat exchangers are all independent units, and it is not possible to install multiple plate heat exchangers together as a whole. This makes it difficult to integrate and manage the system. In addition, the current visual monitoring panels of geothermal heating systems generally adopt a fixed installation design. The panels cannot be adjusted to multiple angles according to the operator's viewing needs. At the same time, the fixed structure lacks a storage and protection mechanism. Long-term exposure to humid and dusty working environments can easily cause a decrease in instrument accuracy and corrosion of mechanical parts, which seriously affects the reliability and service life of system monitoring.

[0038] This embodiment is an integrated device for a geothermal heating system based on the coupling of plate heat exchangers and two-stage heat pumps, including a high-temperature heat pump, a low-temperature heat pump, and multiple sets of plate heat exchangers.
[0039] In this example, the plate heat exchanger includes two side plates and several plates disposed between the two side plates. Rubber gaskets are provided between the plates and sealed by the rubber gaskets so that a first medium heat exchange channel and a second medium heat exchange channel are formed between the plates.
[0040] In this embodiment, the side plate is provided with a first medium inlet / outlet I and a first medium inlet / outlet II that are connected to the first medium heat exchange channel, and a second medium inlet / outlet I and a second medium inlet / outlet II that are connected to the second medium heat exchange channel.
[0041] In this example, the two side plates are connected by several long bolts and nuts, which clamp several plates and rubber gaskets between them.
[0042] In this embodiment, each of the two side plates has a plug-in plate at its front end and a plug-in slot at its rear end that can be adapted to the plug-in plate. The plug-in slot is provided with a locking mechanism for locking the plug-in plate, including a manual locking mechanism and an automatic locking mechanism. When the plug-in plate is inserted into the plug-in slot of the front plate-changing device, the locking mechanism locks the plug-in plate and the plug-in slot, thereby realizing the connection between the front and rear plate-changing devices.
[0043] In this embodiment, the manual locking mechanism includes a first locking element, a return spring, and an operating rod. A first mounting hole is provided on the groove wall above the insertion slot, and an operating hole is provided on the outer side of the side plate, which communicates with the first mounting hole. The first locking element is placed in the first mounting hole and includes a first damping telescopic rod, a linkage plate, and a pin. The upper end of the first damping telescopic rod is connected to the bottom of the first mounting hole, and the lower end of the first damping telescopic rod is connected to the linkage plate and the pin in sequence. The return spring is fitted onto the first damping telescopic rod, with its upper end supported by the bottom of the second mounting hole and its lower end supported by the linkage plate. The operating rod is inserted into the operating hole and fixedly connected to the linkage plate located in the first mounting hole. The operating rod can drive the linkage plate to move up and down in the first mounting hole, thereby driving the pin to move up and down.
[0044] In this example, a first insertion hole is provided on the upper side wall of the plug plate. When the plug plate is fully inserted into the plug slot, the first insertion hole corresponds to the first mounting hole, and the pin can be inserted into the first insertion hole to lock the plug plate and the plug slot.
[0045] In this embodiment, the automatic locking mechanism includes a second locking member and a spring, etc. A second mounting hole is provided on the groove wall below the insertion groove. The second locking member is placed in the second mounting hole. The locking member has two damping telescopic rods, a limiting ring and a limiting hemisphere. The lower end of the damping telescopic rod is connected to the bottom of the second mounting hole, and the upper end of the damping telescopic rod is connected to the limiting ring and the limiting hemisphere in sequence. The spring is fitted on the second damping telescopic rod. The lower end of the spring is supported by the bottom of the second mounting hole, and the upper end is supported by the limiting ring.
[0046] In this example, a second insertion hole is provided on the lower side wall of the plug plate, which can cooperate with the limiting hemisphere. When the plug plate is fully inserted into the plug slot, the first insertion hole corresponds to the first mounting hole. The limiting hemisphere can automatically enter the first insertion hole under the elastic spring, realizing the initial locking of the plug plate and the plug slot. The sound generated when the limiting hemisphere enters the first insertion hole can provide the user with the plug plate in place. The first insertion hole corresponds to the position of the first mounting hole, and the pin rod can be inserted into the first insertion hole.
[0047] In this embodiment, the first medium inlet and outlet of multiple plate heat exchangers are connected in series through a first medium connecting pipeline and connected to a high-temperature heat pump; the second medium inlet and outlet of multiple plate heat exchangers are connected in series through a second medium connecting pipeline and connected to a high-temperature heat pump.
[0048] In this embodiment, the omnidirectional visual monitoring panel is designed to move in a slot on one side of a set of side panels using auxiliary rotating shafts and gear rotating shafts on both sides below. The auxiliary handle slot allows the omnidirectional visual monitoring panel to be removed from the slot on the side panel. A telescopic double-sloping limit rod is movable on one side of the gear rotating shaft. The front end has a double-sloping design. When flipping the omnidirectional visual monitoring panel, the user only needs to apply a little force to use the rack of the gear rotating shaft to squeeze the telescopic double-sloping limit rod, so that the telescopic double-sloping limit rod enters the angle limiter and leaves the slot formed by the rack of the gear rotating shaft. The angle can be adjusted in this way. After stopping the flipping, the telescopic double-sloping limit rod is inserted into the rack for limiting and fixing. The operation is convenient and can adapt to different angles.
[0049] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
