[0025] Example 1

[0026] A type of air-source heat pump heating system with winter solar-assisted heating, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes an air source heat pump 1, a solar collector 7, a plate heat exchanger 3, and a heating circulation pump 2. The inlet of the heating circulation pump 2 is connected to the outlet of the existing heating building 10 via a pipe. The outlet of the heating circulation pump 2 is connected to the inlet of the secondary network of the plate heat exchanger 3. The outlet of the secondary network of the plate heat exchanger 3 is connected to an electric three-way valve 8 via a pipe, and a temperature sensor A is installed on the pipe. The other two outlets of the electric three-way valve 8 are connected to the inlet of the air source heat pump 1 and the heating water inlet pipe 16, respectively. The heating water inlet pipe 16 is divided into... The outlet of the air source heat pump 1 and the inlet of the existing heating building 10 are connected separately. The primary side inlet of the plate heat exchanger 3 is connected in sequence to the outlet of the supplementary heat circulation pump 4, the inlet of the supplementary heat circulation pump 4, and the hot water collection tank 5. The primary side outlet of the plate heat exchanger 3 is connected to the top of the hot water collection tank 5. The other end of the hot water collection tank 5 is connected in sequence to the inlet of the heat collection circulation pump 6, the outlet of the heat collection circulation pump 6, and the inlet of the solar collector 7. The outlet of the solar collector 7 is connected to the hot water collection tank 5. A temperature sensor B is installed inside the hot water collection tank 5.

[0027] The outlet of the secondary network of the plate heat exchanger 3 is connected to the electric three-way valve 8 via the secondary network water supply pipe 13 of the plate heat exchanger.

[0028] The outlet of the heating circulation pump 2 is connected to the inlet of the secondary network of the plate heat exchanger 3 through the return water pipe 12 of the secondary network of the plate heat exchanger.

[0029] The inlet of the heating circulation pump 2 is connected to the outlet of the existing heating building 10 through the heating return water pipe 11.

[0030] The primary outlet of the plate heat exchanger 3 is connected to the top of the hot water collection tank 5 via the plate heat exchanger primary network return water pipe 19.

[0031] The heating water inlet pipe 16 is connected to the outlet of the air source heat pump 1 through the air source heat pump outlet pipe 15.

[0032] Temperature sensor A is linked to electric three-way valve 8.

[0033] Temperature sensor A is linked to air source heat pump 1.

[0034] The temperature sensor B is linked to the heat recovery circulation pump 4.

[0035] In actual operation, the heating return water pipe 11 is connected to the secondary network return water pipe 12 of the plate heat exchanger via the heating circulation pump 2, and enters the plate heat exchanger 3 for heat exchange. At this time, the temperature sensor AT1 detects the temperature of the secondary network supply water pipe 13 of the plate heat exchanger and is linked with the electric three-way valve 8. When the set operating temperature is reached, the outlet of the electric three-way valve 8 enters the heating building 10 through the heating inlet water pipe 16 to provide heating for the building. If the set temperature is not reached, the outlet of the electric three-way valve 8 is connected to the air source heat pump 1 through the air source heat pump inlet water pipe 14 to continue heating. After the set temperature is reached, the air source heat pump outlet water pipe 15 is connected to the heating inlet water pipe 16 to enter the heating building 10 to provide heating for the building. This saves the operating cost of the air source heat pump and increases the COP energy efficiency of the air source heat pump.

[0036] The supplementary heating circulation pump 4 draws excess hot water from the hot water collection tank 5 through the supplementary heating inlet pipe 17. This hot water then enters the plate heat exchanger 3 via the primary network supply pipe 18 as a heat source to exchange heat with the heating return water. The heated water then returns to the hot water collection tank 5 through the primary network return pipe 19, thus recovering and utilizing excess solar heat in winter and reducing energy waste. At this time, the temperature sensor BT2 is linked to the supplementary heating circulation pump 4. When the temperature of the temperature sensor BT2 falls below the set value, the supplementary heating circulation pump 4 stops working, ensuring system stability and reliability, preventing reverse heat exchange in the heating system, and avoiding increased operating power of the air source heat pump.

[0037] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
