[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1As shown, an air source heat pump based on gas-fired wall-hung boiler auxiliary heating technology includes an air source heat pump heating and cooling unit 1, which is connected to a buffer water tank 2. The buffer water tank 2 is connected to a first user terminal 3. It also includes a gas-fired heating and hot water boiler 4, which uses natural gas combustion as a heat source. The gas-fired heating and hot water boiler 4 is connected to the buffer water tank 2. The buffer water tank 2 serves two purposes: storing water and acting as an expansion tank, absorbing the volume expansion of water in the system due to temperature changes. The first user terminal 3 includes radiators 13, underfloor heating coils 14, and fan coil units 15.

[0020] When the ambient temperature is below the operating temperature limit of the air source heat pump heating and cooling unit 1, the heat pump's energy efficiency ratio is very poor, meaning it consumes a lot of electricity, and the outlet water temperature still cannot reach the required heating temperature. At this time, the gas-fired heating and hot water boiler 4, which serves as an auxiliary heating system, starts working and combustion, and the hot water enters the buffer water tank 2 to meet the heating needs of the first user 3, achieving the effect of ultra-low temperature heating.

[0021] The gas-fired heating and hot water boiler 4 is also connected to a second user terminal 5, which includes a shower 7 and a kitchen faucet 8.

[0022] Specifically, the gas-fired heating and hot water boiler 4 includes a first hot water boiler circulation loop and a second hot water boiler circulation loop. The first hot water boiler circulation loop includes a first hot water outlet pipe 4a connected to the hot water outlet of the gas-fired heating and hot water boiler 4, which is connected to a buffer tank 2. The buffer tank 2 is connected to the inlet of the gas-fired heating and hot water boiler 4 via a first hot water return pipe 4b. The second hot water boiler circulation loop includes a second hot water outlet pipe 4c connected to the hot water outlet of the gas-fired heating and hot water boiler 4, and a second hot water return pipe 4d connected to the inlet of the gas-fired heating and hot water boiler 4. The second hot water outlet pipe 4c and the second hot water return pipe 4d are interconnected. A second user terminal 5 is connected to the second hot water outlet pipe. That is, the hot water source for the shower 7 and the kitchen faucet 8 is the gas-fired heating and hot water boiler 4.

[0023] The inlet of the gas-fired heating hot water boiler 4 is also connected to a tap water inlet pipe 4e, which is connected to the second user terminal 5 and is used to provide tap water.

[0024] To prevent tap water from flowing back to the second hot water outlet pipe 4c via the second hot water return pipe 4d, a one-way valve 6 is installed on the second hot water return pipe, which is connected to the tap water inlet pipe. Those skilled in the art should understand that the one-way valve 6 should be located at the connection point between the second hot water return pipe and the tap water inlet pipe to prevent tap water from flowing back into the second hot water outlet pipe 4c.

[0025] A first water pump 9 and a first filter 10 are sequentially installed between the water inlet of the air source heat pump heating and cooling unit 1 and the buffer water tank 2. A second filter 11 and a second water pump 12 are sequentially installed between the water outlet of the buffer water tank 2 and the first user terminal 3. The function of the first water pump 9 is to circulate the water in the buffer water tank 2 and the air source heat pump heating and cooling unit 1, and the function of the second water pump 12 is to circulate the water in the buffer water tank 2 and the first user terminal 3. The filters are used to filter out impurities.

[0026] The air source heat pump heating and cooling unit 1 has a first flexible hose 16 and a second flexible hose 17 at its inlet and outlet, respectively. The first flexible hose 16 and the second flexible hose 17 are connected to the buffer water tank 2 through pipes. The first flexible hose 16 and the second flexible hose 17 are a flexible connection to prevent the interface from loosening or breaking due to vibration during the operation of the air source heat pump heating and cooling unit 1.

[0027] An expansion tank 18 is installed on the pipe between the return water inlet of the buffer water tank 2 and the first user terminal 3. Since the first user terminal 3 includes radiator 13, underfloor heating coil 14 and fan coil 15, the water temperature returning from the first user terminal 3 to the buffer water tank 2 will continuously change when the number or status of these components is different, resulting in a corresponding change in the volume of the return water. The expansion tank 18 is actually used to buffer the flow. The expansion tank is equivalent to the existing expansion water tank and can be a commercially available product.

[0028] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model.
