Technical Field

[0002] In related technologies, hydraulic modules serve as connecting components between heat pump devices, gas-fired wall-hung boilers, and water-using terminals, playing roles such as flow distribution and pipeline switching, and efficiently delivering hot water to various components. However, hydraulic modules often only have a unidirectional pipeline output, which makes them susceptible to various limitations during installation. The unidirectional pipeline output cannot meet the needs of different scenarios, resulting in poor installation adaptability. Utility Model Content

[0043] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0044] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0045] In the description of this utility model, the use of "first" and "second" is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features or the order of the technical features.

[0046] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0047] In current hot water heating systems using heat pump units, these units often lack hydraulic modules for flow distribution and pipeline switching, as well as crucial water system components such as magnetic filters, three-way valves, and microbubble filters. Therefore, when configuring a hot water heating system, users must purchase these necessary water system components separately in addition to the heat pump unit, and require specialized installation personnel to configure the hydraulic modules.

[0048] Integrated hydraulic modules in related technologies integrate the hydraulic unit and various water circuit components into one unit, typically installed alongside the heat pump unit. However, these modules usually employ a single outlet pipe design, making it difficult to meet the diverse installation requirements in practice. For example, in attics with limited ceiling height, the hydraulic module is difficult to install at the bottom or top of the heat pump unit due to space constraints; similarly, in narrow spaces with limited lateral space, the hydraulic module is difficult to install on either side of the heat pump unit. Clearly, such hydraulic modules increase installation difficulty and complexity, prolong installation time, increase installation costs, and reduce the flexibility and convenience of hot water heating system installation.

[0049] To address the aforementioned problems, some embodiments of this utility model propose a hydraulic module 1000, suitable for hot water heating systems. This module can adjust the output direction of the pipeline according to the installation scenario, thereby improving installation adaptability. See details below. Figures 1 to 10 The hydraulic module 1000 is described below.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the hydraulic module 1000 includes a housing 100, a hydraulic unit 200, and at least two connecting pipes 300. The housing 100 includes a first panel 120 and a shell 180. Specifically, a second opening (not shown) is formed on one side of the shell 180. The first panel 120 covers the second opening, thus defining, together with the shell 180, a receiving cavity 110 for mounting the hydraulic unit 200. In this embodiment, one end of the connecting pipe 300 is connected to the hydraulic unit 200, and the other end is connected to a water terminal, thereby achieving the connection between the hydraulic unit 200 inside the receiving cavity 110 and the water terminal outside the housing 100.

[0051] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first panel 120 serves as the rear panel of the housing 100 and is arranged vertically. The housing 180 includes a second panel 133 and multiple side panels. The second panel 133 is the front panel of the housing 100, and the multiple side panels are respectively a top cover 150, a chassis 140, a first side panel 131, and a second side panel 132. In this embodiment, the top cover 150 is connected to the upper end of the first panel 120, the chassis 140 is connected to the lower end of the first panel 120, the first side panel 131 is connected to the right side of the first panel 120, and the second side panel 132 is connected to the left side of the first panel 120.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first side plate 131 includes an integrally formed first baffle 1311 and a first surrounding plate 1312, and the second side plate 132 includes an integrally formed second baffle 1321 and a second surrounding plate 1322. Specifically, the first baffle 1311 and the second baffle 1321 cooperate with the top cover 150, the chassis 140, the first panel 120 and the second panel 133 to form a receiving cavity 110. The first surrounding plate 1312 and the second surrounding plate 1322 are connected to the rear side of the housing 180, wherein the first surrounding plate 1312 is connected to the right side of the first panel 120, and the second surrounding plate 1322 is connected to the left side of the first panel 120. The first surrounding plate 1312 and the second surrounding plate 1322 protrude rearward from the first panel 120. It should be noted that a third panel (not shown in the figure) and a fourth panel (not shown in the figure) can be installed on the upper and lower ends of the rear side of the first panel 120, respectively, depending on the actual installation scenario. Both the third panel and the fourth panel protrude rearward from the housing 180.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, at least two adapter pipes 300 are disposed outside the housing 100, specifically on the rear side of the first panel 120, and between the first enclosure 1312 and the second enclosure 1322. Each adapter pipe 300 corresponds to at least two connection ports 121. One end of each adapter pipe 300 passes through the corresponding connection port 121 and connects to the hydraulic unit 200, while the other end is provided with an adapter 301. The adapter 301 is detachably connected to one of the enclosures and can be connected to a water terminal via a pipe.

[0054] Understandably, when laying out the piping of a hot water heating system, the adapter 301 can flexibly select the appropriate enclosure for connection according to the required outlet pipe direction, thereby adjusting the outlet pipe direction of the hydraulic module 1000. Compared to a single-direction pipe output method, this embodiment can specifically configure the outlet pipe direction of the adapter 300 according to different installation scenarios, improving the installation adaptability of the hydraulic module 1000.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one example, all the outlet pipes of the adapter pipes 300 have the same direction, all facing left or right. Based on this, the adapters 301 of all the adapter pipes 300 are installed on one of the first enclosure 1312 and the second enclosure 1322. In another example, some of the adapter pipes 300 have their outlet pipes facing left, and some of the adapter pipes 300 have their outlet pipes facing right. Based on this, some of the adapters 301 of the adapter pipes 300 are installed on the second enclosure 1322, and the adapters 301 of the other portion of the adapter pipes 300 are installed on the first enclosure 1312.

[0056] It should be noted that the hydraulic module 1000 of this utility model embodiment is designed for application scenarios with limited space in the left and right directions, and it can be installed on the upper or lower side of the heat pump device. For ease of description, the following description will use the example of five connection ports 121 and five adapter pipes 300.

[0057] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the first side plate 131 and the second side plate 132 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction, and the first panel 120 is located between the first side plate 131 and the second side plate 132. The left and right sides of the first panel 120 are respectively connected to the second side plate 132 and the first side plate 131. The first panel 120 is provided with a first interface 1211 and a second interface 1212, and two of the five adapter pipes 300 are the first fitting 310 and the second fitting 320.

[0058] It is understood that in this embodiment of the invention, the hydraulic module 1000 can achieve pipe outlet on either the left or right side. Therefore, the adapter 301 of the first pipe fitting 310 and the second pipe fitting 320 can be connected to the first side plate 131 or the second side plate 132, allowing the adapter 301 to protrude from the second enclosure 1322 on the left side or the first enclosure 1312 on the right side of the housing 100, providing two pipe outlet directions. In this embodiment, both the first pipe fitting 310 and the second pipe fitting 320 are detachably connected to the first interface 1211 or the second interface 1212. It should be emphasized that when the first pipe fitting 310 is connected to one of the first interface 1211 or the second interface 1212, the second pipe fitting 320 can only be connected to the other.

[0059] In one example, when the first fitting 310 and the second fitting 320 are respectively connected to the first side plate 131, the adapter 301 passes through the first enclosure 1312, and the outlet pipe of the hydraulic module 1000 faces to the right. At this time, the first fitting 310 is connected to the second interface 1212, and the second fitting 320 is connected to the first interface 1211. (Refer to...) Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, when the first pipe fitting 310 and the second pipe fitting 320 are respectively connected to the second side plate 132, the adapter 301 passes through the second enclosure plate 1322, the outlet pipe of the hydraulic module 1000 faces to the left, the first pipe fitting 310 is connected to the first interface 1211, and the second pipe fitting 320 is connected to the second interface 1212.

[0060] It is understood that in this embodiment, by selecting the connection positions of the first fitting 310 and the second fitting 320 at the first interface 1211 and the second interface 1212, the orientation of the adapter 301 is determined and fixed to the corresponding side plate, thereby realizing the selection of the corresponding outlet pipe direction according to the actual installation scenario. In the actual assembly process, according to the determined outlet pipe direction, the first fitting 310 and the second fitting 320 are connected to the first interface 1211 and the second interface 1212 respectively, and then the adapter 301 located at the other end of the adapter pipe 300 is passed through the reserved hole of the corresponding side plate, thereby completing the assembly of the adapter pipe 300. Subsequently, the adapter 301 is connected to the corresponding pipeline to realize the connection with the water terminal.

[0061] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the utility model, if it is still necessary to change the outlet pipe direction after the overall assembly of the hydraulic module 1000 is completed, the installation positions of the first pipe fitting 310 and the second pipe fitting 320 can be directly exchanged, and the adapter pipe 300 can be rotated to another direction so that the adapter 301 is connected to the other side plate, thereby achieving the adjustment of the outlet pipe direction.

[0062] Continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, five connection ports 121 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the housing 100. The first interface 1211 is located above the second interface 1212, and the first interface 1211 is positioned closer to the right-side first side plate 131 relative to the second interface 1212. In other words, the second interface 1212 is positioned closer to the left-side second side plate 132. In this embodiment, the first interface 1211 and the second interface 1212 are symmetrically distributed along the center line M in the left-right direction of the first panel 120. Specifically, the line connecting the first interface 1211 and the second interface 1212 is offset downwards from right to left.

[0063] In other words, in this embodiment of the invention, the distance between the first interface 1211 and the first side plate 131, and the distance between the second interface 1212 and the second side plate 132, are equal, as are the distances between the second interface 1212 and the first side plate 131 and the first interface 1211 and the second side plate 132. Combined with... Figure 2It is understood that in this embodiment, the distance between the first interface 1211 and the first enclosure 1312 is W1, the distance between the second interface 1212 and the second enclosure 1322 is W2, the distance between the second interface 1212 and the first enclosure 1312 is W3, the distance between the first interface 1211 and the second enclosure 1322 is W4, the length of the first pipe 310 is L1, and the length of the second pipe 320 is L2, satisfying: W1=W2=L2, W3=W4=L1. It is understood that the length of the first pipe 310 is greater than the length of the second pipe 320.

[0064] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 It can be understood that when the outlet pipe direction is to the left, the first fitting 310 is installed at the first interface 1211, and the second fitting 320 is installed at the second interface 1212. Since the length of the first fitting 310 matches the distance between the first interface 1211 and the second side plate 132, and the length of the second fitting 320 matches the distance between the second interface 1212 and the second side plate 132, the adapter 301 of the first fitting 310 and the second fitting 320 can pass precisely through the second enclosure plate 1322. Similarly, when the outlet pipe direction is to the right, the first fitting 310 is installed at the second interface 1212, and the second fitting 320 is installed at the first interface 1211. Since the length of the first pipe fitting 310 and the distance between the second interface 1212 and the first side plate 131 are matched, and the length of the second pipe fitting 320 is matched with the distance between the first interface 1211 and the first side plate 131, the adapter 301 of the first pipe fitting 310 and the second pipe fitting 320 can just pass through the first enclosure plate 1312.

[0065] Understandably, by reasonably setting W1, W2, W3, W4, L1, and L2, not only will the situation not occur where the corresponding adapter cannot protrude from the outside of the enclosure due to insufficient length of the first pipe fitting 310 or the second pipe fitting 320, ensuring that the adapter 301 can protrude from the side plate to connect with the water terminal, but also the situation will not occur where the first pipe fitting 310 or the second pipe fitting 320 protrudes too much from the first side plate 131 or the second side plate 132 due to excessive pipe length, thereby occupying too much space on the left and right sides of the box 100. Even if the outlet pipe direction is adjusted, the overall compactness of the hydraulic module 1000 can be guaranteed.

[0066] Continue to refer to Figure 2As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the first panel 120 is further provided with a third interface 1213, at least one of the five connection ports 121 is a third interface 1213, and at least one of the five adapter pipes 300 is a third pipe fitting 330. In this embodiment, the third pipe fitting 330 can achieve pipe outlet on the left or right side. For this purpose, the adapter 301 of the third pipe fitting 330 can be connected to the first side plate 131 or the second side plate 132, and the adapter 301 can protrude from the left or right side of the housing 100.

[0067] Specifically, in one example, the third fitting 330 is connected to the first side plate 131, the third fitting 330 extends to the right, the adapter 301 passes through the first enclosure 1312, and the outlet pipe of the hydraulic module 1000 faces to the right; see reference Figure 2 As shown, in another example, the third fitting 330 is connected to the second side plate 132, the third fitting 330 extends to the left, the adapter 301 passes through the second enclosure 1322, and the outlet pipe of the hydraulic module 1000 faces to the left.

[0068] If the outlet pipe direction still needs to be changed after the overall assembly of the hydraulic module 1000 is completed, in one example, the third pipe fitting 330 is rotatably connected to the third interface 1213. The third pipe fitting 330 can be directly rotated 180° to adjust the outlet pipe direction, improving the convenience of outlet pipe direction adjustment. Considering that the third pipe fitting 330 may interfere with other components or the structure of the housing 100 on the rotation path, in another example, the third pipe fitting 330 is detachably connected to the third interface 1213. The third pipe fitting 330 can be removed first, rotated to the desired direction, and then reinstalled on the third interface 1213.

[0069] Continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the third interface 1213 is located on the centerline M in the left-right direction of the first panel 120. Specifically, the distance between the third interface 1213 and the first side plate 131 is equal to the distance between the third interface 1213 and the second side plate 132. In this embodiment, the distance between the first side plate 131 and the second side plate 132 is D, and the length of the third pipe 330 is L3, satisfying: L3=D / 2. By reasonably setting D and L3, the length of the third pipe 330 can be matched with the distance between the third interface 1213 and the first side plate 1312 or the second side plate 1322, whether the pipe exits to the left or the right. This ensures that the adapter 301 is just exposed outside the first side plate 131 or the second side plate 132, and avoids the third pipe 330 from excessively protruding and occupying space on both sides.

[0070] It should be emphasized that in this embodiment of the utility model, the first pipe fitting 310, the second pipe fitting 320, and the third pipe fitting 330 are merely category identifiers and do not specifically refer to any particular adapter pipe 300. The first pipe fitting 310 and the second pipe fitting 320 are arranged in pairs, and this embodiment does not limit the specific number of each of the first pipe fitting 310, the second pipe fitting 320, and the third pipe fitting 330.

[0071] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in one example, the five connecting pipes 300 are, from top to bottom, pipe 1 390, pipe 2 391, pipe 392, pipe 4 393 and pipe 5 394. Pipe 1 390 is connected to the second side plate 132 through the third connector 360, pipe 2 391 is connected to the second side plate 132 through the second connector 350, pipe 3 392 is connected to the second side plate 132 through the fourth connector 370, pipe 4 393 is connected to the second side plate 132 through the first connector 340, and pipe 5 394 is connected to the second side plate 132 through the fifth connector 380.

[0072] In this embodiment, pipes 390 (number 1), 391 (number 2), and 394 (number 5) belong to the third fitting 330. Pipe 390 can rotate upwards to adjust from a left-side outlet to a right-side outlet, and pipe 394 can rotate downwards to adjust from a left-side outlet to a right-side outlet. Pipe 391 is restricted on its upper and lower sides by pipes 390 and 392 respectively, so pipe 391 can be disassembled first before adjusting its installation direction. Pipe 392 belongs to the first fitting 310, and pipe 393 belongs to the second fitting 320. When adjusting the outlet direction, pipes 392 and 393 need to be disassembled separately, their installation directions adjusted, and their installation positions swapped before the outlet direction can be adjusted.

[0073] Reference Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the hydraulic unit 200 includes: a hot water tank 210, a microbubble filter 220, a magnetic filter 230, and a three-way valve 240. The top of the tank 100 is provided with an inlet connector 600 and an outlet connector 700. The inlet connector 600 is connected to the outlet end of the heat pump device, and the outlet connector 700 is connected to the inlet end of the heat pump device. The hot water tank 210 is provided with a first inlet 211, a second inlet 212, a first outlet 213, and a second outlet 214. The first inlet 211 is connected to the inlet connector 600, the first outlet 213 is connected to pipe 4 393, the second outlet 214 is connected to pipe 2 391, and the second inlet 212 is connected to pipe 1 390.

[0074] In this embodiment, pipe 390 is connected to the outlet of the wall-mounted boiler, and pipe 391 is connected to the inlet of the boiler. The water terminal includes a water storage tank and a heating device. Pipe 393 is connected to the water storage tank, pipe 392 is connected to the inlet of the heating device, and pipe 394 is connected to the outlet of the heating device. A three-way valve 240 is connected to the first outlet 213, pipe 393, and pipe 392 respectively, for switching between supplying water to the water storage tank and supplying water to the heating device. A microbubble filter 220 is connected between the first outlet 213 and the three-way valve 240 to prevent microbubbles in the hot water from flowing into the heating device and adhering to the inner walls of the radiators and underfloor heating pipes, thus affecting heat exchange efficiency. A magnetic filter 230 is connected between pipe 394 and the outlet connector 700 to prevent impurities in the heating device from entering the heat pump device.

[0075] Understandably, referring to Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the heat pump device delivers hot water to the hot water tank 210 via the inlet connector 600. The hot water tank 210 can then transfer the hot water to a heating device or a water storage tank. When the temperature of the hot water delivered by the heat pump device to the water user is lower than a set value, the control module can control the wall-mounted boiler to extract some hot water from the hot water tank 210 for heating before delivering it back to the hot water tank 210, thereby raising the temperature of the water in the hot water tank 210 to meet the water temperature requirements of the water user.

[0076] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first baffle 1311 and the second baffle 1321 are respectively connected to both sides of the first panel 120 to form side panels 130. The side panels 130 are arranged circumferentially along the housing 100, the top cover 150 is installed on the upper end of the side panels 130, and the chassis 140 is installed on the lower end of the side panels 130. In this embodiment, the front side of the housing 100 is provided with an opening 160 communicating with the receiving cavity 110. The second panel 133 covers the opening 160, and the second panel 133 is detachably connected to the first side panel 131 and the second side panel 132. When the second panel 133 is moved out of the opening 160, the opening 160 can expose the hydraulic unit 200 installed in the receiving cavity 110. In one example, the front side of the second panel 133 is also provided with an exterior part 1333.

[0077] Understandably, when inspecting the hydraulic unit 200, it is only necessary to remove the second panel 133 located on the front side of the housing 100. The hydraulic unit 200 inside the housing 100 can then be inspected and repaired through the opening 160, greatly reducing the difficulty of inspecting the hydraulic unit 200 and improving its repair efficiency. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the second panel 133 can be connected to the first side plate 131 and the second side plate 132 via fasteners 800 or by snap-fit ​​connections, etc.

[0078] To reduce heat loss from the hot water in hydraulic unit 200, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the hydraulic module 1000 further includes a heat-insulating structure 400 disposed in the receiving cavity 110, which has an installation space 430 for installing the hydraulic unit 200. When the hydraulic unit 200 is installed in the installation space 430, the heat-insulating structure 400, made of heat-insulating material, wraps around the outside of the hydraulic unit 200, thereby playing a heat-insulating role and reducing the loss of heat from the hot water. In this embodiment, the first opening 431 of the installation space 430 is arranged facing forward, and the first opening 431 is interconnected with the opening 160. Therefore, when the second panel 133 is moved out of the opening 160, the first opening 431 can expose at least part of the structure of the hydraulic unit 200.

[0079] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the thermal insulation structure 400 includes a first thermal insulation component 410 and a second thermal insulation component 420. The first thermal insulation component 410 and the second thermal insulation component 420 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom and are connected to each other to form an installation space 430. The first thermal insulation component 410 is connected to the top cover 150, and the second thermal insulation component 420 is connected to the chassis 140. In this embodiment, a second flange 151 protrudes downward from the outer periphery of the top cover 150, and the second flange 151 surrounds the outer periphery of the first thermal insulation component 410, thereby limiting the position of the first thermal insulation component 410. A first flange 141 protrudes upward from the outer periphery of the chassis 140, and the first flange 141 surrounds the outer periphery of the second thermal insulation component 420, thereby limiting the position of the second thermal insulation component 420.

[0080] Continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the surfaces of the first insulation member 410 and the second insulation member 420 are respectively provided with a plurality of recesses 440. The recesses 440 are adapted to the outer contour of the hydraulic unit 200, so that the shape and size of the installation space 430 can be precisely matched with the hydraulic unit 200. Some of the recesses 440 also have the function of supporting the microbubble filter 220, the magnetic filter 230 and the three-way valve 240. In addition, the surfaces of the first insulation member 410 and the second insulation member 420 are also provided with protrusions 450 that cooperate with another portion of the recesses 440. For example, the protrusions 450 of the first insulation member 410 can be connected with the recesses 440 of the second insulation member 420, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the first insulation member 410 and the second insulation member 420.

[0081] Reference Figure 7As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the first side plate 131 includes a first baffle 1311, a first step portion 1313, and a first surrounding plate 1312. The first baffle 1311 and the first surrounding plate 1312 are arranged sequentially from front to back, spaced apart in the left-right direction, with the first surrounding plate 1312 located further outward than the first baffle 1311. The first step portion 1313 is disposed between the first baffle 1311 and the first surrounding plate 1312, with one end connected to the rear side of the first baffle 1311 and the other end connected to the front side of the first surrounding plate 1312. The first step portion 1313 is perpendicular to both the first baffle 1311 and the first surrounding plate 1312, thus forming a bent, stepped structure.

[0082] It should be noted that the structure of the second side plate 132 is similar to that of the first side plate 131. Specifically, refer to... Figure 3 As shown, the second side plate 132 includes a second baffle 1321, a second step portion (not shown in the figure), and a second surrounding plate 1322. The second baffle 1321 and the second surrounding plate 1322 are arranged sequentially from front to back, spaced apart in the left-right direction, with the second surrounding plate 1322 located further outward than the second baffle 1321. The second step portion is located between the second baffle 1321 and the second surrounding plate 1322, with one end connected to the rear side of the second baffle 1321 and the other end connected to the front side of the second surrounding plate 1322. The second step portion is perpendicular to both the second baffle 1321 and the second surrounding plate 1322, thus forming a bent, stepped structure.

[0083] For ease of description, the following explanation uses the first side plate 131 as an example. Continue referring to... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the front end face of the first step portion 1313 is provided with a guide groove 1314, and the rear side of the second panel 133 is provided with a guide member 1331. In this embodiment, the guide member 1331 can be constructed as a lug. During the process of the second panel 133 moving into or out of the opening 160 in the front-back direction, the guide member 1331 and the guide groove 1314 can slide together to provide guidance. Specifically, when assembling the second panel 133, the second panel 133 is pushed into the opening 160 from front to back. The guide member 1331 and the guide groove 1314 cooperate. When the rear side of the second panel 133 abuts against the front end face of the first step portion 1313, it indicates that the second panel 133 has been installed in place and is connected to the first baffle 1311.

[0084] It is understood that in this embodiment of the utility model, the second panel 133 is U-shaped, and its two sides can respectively surround the first baffle 1311 and the second baffle 1321. Therefore, in this embodiment, the outer surfaces of the two sides of the second panel 133 are flush with the outer surfaces of the first baffle 1312 and the second baffle 1322, thereby improving the appearance consistency of the hydraulic module 1000.

[0085] Reference Figure 8 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the first baffle 1311 and the second baffle 1321 are metal parts. Specifically, the first side plate 131 and the second side plate 132 are integrally formed metal parts. Grooves 1332 are provided on the left and right sides of the inner surface of the second panel 133. Magnetic suction components 170 are installed in the grooves 1332. When the second panel 133 is installed in place, the magnetic suction component 170 on the right side is magnetically connected to the first baffle 1311, and the magnetic suction component 170 on the left side is magnetically connected to the second baffle 1321. Based on this, when disassembling the second panel 133, only a slight forward pulling force needs to be applied to the second panel 133 to remove it, thus improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the second panel 133.

[0086] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown in this embodiment of the present invention, the front side of the first enclosure 1312 and the second enclosure 1322 is provided with a plurality of third connecting holes 1317. The side wall of the first panel 120 can be connected to the third connecting holes 1317 by bolts, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the first panel 120 and the first side plate 131 and the second side plate 132. In this embodiment, the first enclosure 1312 and the second enclosure 1322 are respectively provided with at least two through holes 1315 corresponding to at least two adapters 301. It can be understood that since the first panel 120 is connected to the front half of the first enclosure 1312 and the second enclosure 1322, a portion of the first enclosure 1312 and the second enclosure 1322 is located on the rear side of the first panel 120. The through holes 1315 are provided on the portions of the first enclosure 1312 and the second enclosure 1322 located on the rear side of the first panel 120, thereby the through holes 1315 and the first panel 120 are spaced apart in the front-rear direction.

[0087] Reference Figure 10As shown in this embodiment of the invention, each adapter 301 includes a connecting portion 3011 and a mounting portion 3012 connected to each other. The connecting portion 3011 is columnar, capable of passing through a circular through hole 1315, and is configured to be detachably connected to a water terminal. Specifically, the outer peripheral wall of the connecting portion 3011 is provided with external threads, enabling it to connect to a water terminal via a pipeline. Two mounting portions 3012 are provided, spaced apart circumferentially along the connecting portion 3011, and the mounting portions 3012 can abut against the inner side of the first enclosure 1312 or the second enclosure 1322. In this embodiment, the mounting part 3012 is provided with a first connecting hole 3013, the second baffle 1321 is also provided with a second connecting hole 1316, and the hydraulic module 1000 also includes a fastener 800, which passes through the first connecting hole 3013 and the second connecting hole 1316 in sequence to fix the adapter 301 and the first enclosure 1312 or the second enclosure 1322.

[0088] An embodiment of this utility model also proposes a hot water heating system, including a heat pump device and a hydraulic module 1000 as described in the above embodiment, wherein the heat pump device and the hydraulic module 1000 are connected. The heat pump device and the hydraulic module 1000 can be connected via pipelines. The heat pump device can deliver hot water to the hydraulic module 1000, and then the hydraulic module 1000 distributes the hot water to a wall-mounted boiler for secondary heating, or directly delivers the hot water from the heat pump device to the water-using terminals.

[0089] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the hydraulic module 1000 also includes a bracket 500, which is located on the top of the housing 100. The housing 100 can be hung on the bottom of the heat pump device via the bracket 500. The top of the housing 100 is provided with an inlet connector 600 and an outlet connector 700, which are respectively connected to the hydraulic unit 200. The inlet connector 600 and the outlet connector 700 are respectively connected to the heat pump device. In this embodiment, the hydraulic module 1000 also includes a fixing frame 190 and a fixing rubber 191. The inlet connector 600 and the outlet connector 700 are installed at intervals on the fixing frame 190, and the fixing rubber 191 covers the fixing frame 190, which can prevent the fixing frame 190 from colliding with the inlet connector 600 and the outlet connector 700.

[0090] The hot water heating system of this embodiment adopts the hydraulic module 1000 of the above embodiment. A receiving cavity 110 is provided inside the housing 100 for the installation of the hydraulic unit 200. A connection port 121 communicating with the receiving cavity 110 is provided on the first panel 120, allowing one end of the adapter pipe 300 to be connected to the hydraulic unit 200 through the connection port 121. Simultaneously, an adapter 301 is provided at the other end of the adapter pipe 300. The adapter 301 can be detachably connected to one of at least two enclosures as needed, thereby achieving flexible assembly of the adapter pipe 300. The connection between the hydraulic unit 200 and the water terminal is achieved through the connection of the adapter pipe 300. Compared to a single-direction pipe output method, this embodiment can specifically configure the outlet direction of the adapter pipe 300 according to different installation scenarios, improving the installation adaptability of the hydraulic module 1000, thereby reducing the complexity of the piping layout of the hot water heating system, improving the overall configuration efficiency of the hot water heating system, and reducing material consumption, thus lowering costs.
