Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air source water heater technology, specifically an integrated air source water heater device. Background Technology
[0002] An air source heat pump water heater is a device that uses heat energy from the air to heat water through heat pump technology. Its working principle involves a compressor transferring heat from the air to a water tank, thereby heating the water. Compared to traditional electric and gas water heaters, air source heat pump water heaters have higher energy efficiency and lower operating costs because they extract heat from the surrounding environment without directly consuming electricity or fuel. This equipment is widely used in homes, hotels, and industrial settings, not only because it is environmentally friendly and energy-saving, but also because it can operate normally in low-temperature environments, making it an ideal green energy solution.
[0003] A search revealed an integrated air source heat pump water heater with application number 202021513283.7, comprising a base, a main unit housing mounted on top of the base, a water tank mounted on one side of the main unit housing, symmetrically equipped with limiting mechanisms on both sides of the water tank away from the main unit housing, and two ventilation mechanisms mounted on the top of the main unit housing. This integrated air source heat pump water heater allows for the integrated installation of the main unit and water tank via the base, facilitating simultaneous transport. The limiting mechanisms prevent the water tank from shaking during transportation. Furthermore, the ventilation mechanisms prevent external dust from entering, avoiding internal dust contamination. Small amounts of water droplets passing through the ventilation mechanisms are absorbed by the internal absorbent sponge, preventing accidental water droplets from entering the device and causing damage.
[0004] To address transportation and relocation issues, most portable integrated air source heat pump water heaters on the market are equipped with casters at the bottom. However, this has certain limitations. For example, the total weight of the equipment is quite heavy when the water tank is full. When the equipment is left stationary for a long time or moved, the casters are subjected to enormous pressure, which can easily lead to wheel hub deformation, bearing damage, or even cause the equipment to tilt. In addition, the wheel structure is prone to swaying when supported on uneven ground, which can affect the lifespan of the compressor and pipelines. Furthermore, the vibration during equipment operation can amplify the noise.
[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an integrated air-source heat pump water heater to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0039] The drive assembly includes a dual-axis motor 11 fixedly installed on the top surface of the mounting frame 6. Both output ends of the dual-axis motor 11 are fixedly connected to a connecting shaft 12.

Then, the device can be connected to an external power source, and the dual-axis motor 11 can be started. Its two output ends rotate, driving the connecting shaft 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm gear 13 to rotate the worm wheel 14 that meshes with it. Then, under the restriction of the telescopic rod 4, the threaded rod 15 extends out from the hollow cylinder 16, pushing the support cone plate 5 to move, thereby lifting the entire device, reducing pressure on the casters and avoiding the problem of wheel damage caused by long-term placement. Then, when it is necessary to move, driving the dual-axis motor 11 to rotate in the opposite direction can easily restore the device to a movable state, ensuring the flexibility and stability of the equipment.
[0044] Then, the air-source heat pump main unit 8 inside the device can be started, causing its evaporator to run and transport the liquid refrigerant along the pipeline to the distribution pipe 21, allowing the liquid refrigerant to enter the heat-absorbing copper tube plate 20. Then, through its internal spiral pipe, it absorbs heat from the air. At this time, the cooling fan 23 is started. The ambient air drawn in by the cooling fan 23 flows over the surface of the conical frame 10, and the heat-absorbing copper tube plate 20 and the conical frame 10 transfer heat, accelerating the heat exchange between the air and the refrigerant. After the exchange, the gaseous refrigerant is heated by the compressor and enters one of the manifolds 18, and then enters one of the sets of arc-shaped pipes 17. At this time, it is connected to another set of arc-shaped pipes 17 through the connecting pipe, thereby heating the water in the water tank seat 1, and then exiting from another manifold 18. At this time, the refrigerant itself condenses into liquid. Then, the liquid refrigerant is depressurized through the expansion valve and returns to the distribution pipe 21 to start a new cycle.
