Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air source heat pump technology, and in particular relates to an energy-saving air source heat pump. Background Technology

Through the coordinated action of four core components—evaporator, compressor, condenser, and expansion valve—they convert low-grade heat energy in the air into usable high-grade heat energy, which is then transferred to an insulated water tank. However, with the increasing promotion of energy conservation and emission reduction, the utilization of renewable energy is becoming increasingly important, yet few existing air source heat pumps utilize renewable energy sources. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an energy-saving air source heat pump that can utilize renewable energy to further improve heating efficiency.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] An energy-saving air source heat pump includes an air source heat pump for generating heat and transferring the heat to an insulated water tank. At least one side of the outer casing of the air source heat pump is a solar panel that generates electricity using solar energy and supplies power to the air source heat pump. A circulating water pipe with both ends connected to the insulated water tank is disposed in contact with the inner side of the solar panel.

[0006] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: on the basis that the air source heat pump can generate heat and transfer the heat to the insulated water tank, the solar panel can also indirectly exchange heat with the water in its inner circulating water pipe to transfer heat to the insulated water tank in the same way, thereby utilizing solar energy, a renewable energy source, to further improve the heating capacity; at the same time, the electricity generated by solar power can be supplied to the air source heat pump, which helps to reduce power consumption and achieve the effect of saving electricity.

[0007] Furthermore, the energy-saving air source heat pump includes a solar controller and a battery. The solar panel and the battery are both electrically connected to the solar controller, and the battery is electrically connected to the air source heat pump.

[0008] Furthermore, the solar controller and battery are integrated into the air source heat pump.

[0009] Furthermore, a deflection device is installed at the lower end of the air source heat pump.

[0010] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the air source heat pump can be turned by a turning device in order to adjust the orientation of the solar panels, which is conducive to the effective utilization of solar energy at different solar angles in different seasons.

[0011] Furthermore, the steering mechanism includes steering wheels located at the four corners of the lower end of the air source heat pump.

[0012] The effect of adopting the above technical solution is that this setting facilitates the use of four steering wheels to steer the air source heat pump.

[0013] Furthermore, the circulating water pipe is equipped with a serpentine coil section for contacting the inside of the solar panel.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the solar panel directly exchanges heat with the serpentine coil section in contact with its inner side, which is conducive to efficiently heating the water flowing through the serpentine coil section in the circulating water pipe.

[0015] Furthermore, the energy-saving air source heat pump includes a first water pump, the input end of which is connected to an insulated water tank, and the output end of which is connected to the cold water end of a circulating water pipe.

[0016] Furthermore, the air source heat pump includes an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve. The working fluid outlet of the evaporator is sequentially connected to the compressor, the condenser, the expansion valve, and the working fluid inlet of the evaporator.

[0017] Furthermore, both the cold water inlet and hot water outlet of the condenser are connected to the insulated water tank.

[0018] Furthermore, the energy-saving air source heat pump includes a second water pump, the input end of which is connected to an insulated water tank, and the output end of which is connected to the cold water inlet of the condenser.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] Based on the fact that the air source heat pump can generate heat and transfer it to the insulated water tank, the solar panel can also indirectly exchange heat with the water in its internal circulating water pipes to transfer heat to the insulated water tank in the same way, thereby utilizing solar energy, a renewable energy source, to further increase the heating capacity. At the same time, the electricity generated by solar power can be supplied to the air source heat pump, which helps to reduce power consumption and achieve energy saving. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] This utility model provides an energy-saving air source heat pump, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes an air source heat pump 1 for generating heat and transferring the heat to an insulated water tank. At least one side of the outer casing of the air source heat pump 1 is a solar panel 2 that generates electricity using solar energy and supplies power to the air source heat pump 1. The inner side of the solar panel 2 is connected to a circulating water pipe 4, both ends of which are connected to the insulated water tank.

[0032] Understandably, while the air source heat pump 1 can generate heat and transfer it to the insulated water tank, the solar panel 2 can also indirectly exchange heat with the water in its inner circulating water pipe 4 to transfer heat to the insulated water tank in the same way, thereby utilizing solar energy, a renewable energy source, to further increase the heating capacity. At the same time, the electricity generated by solar power can be supplied to the air source heat pump 1, which helps to reduce power consumption and achieve energy saving.

[0033] It should be noted that conventional air source heat pumps use an iron casing. This invention simply replaces the iron casing with a solar panel 2, which effectively utilizes the original air source heat pump. This invention can utilize both air energy and solar energy, effectively combining two green energy sources. It can utilize green energy more efficiently and improve heating capacity or save electricity consumption, thus having a positive effect on heating. In addition, the electricity generated by the solar panel 2 can be used for the air source heat pump 1 itself, or it can be used to initially heat the water in the circulating water pipe 4, so as to improve the heating efficiency of the air source heat pump 1, reduce the use of electricity when heating water, thereby outputting energy more efficiently, improving utilization rate and reducing the long-term operating costs for users.

[0034] In one embodiment, the energy-saving air source heat pump includes a solar controller and a battery. The solar panel 2 and the battery are both electrically connected to the solar controller, and the battery is electrically connected to the air source heat pump 1.

[0035] It should be noted that this section describes the main components of the solar power generation system; other optional components such as inverters will not be discussed further.

[0036] In one embodiment, the solar controller and the battery are integrated into the air source heat pump 1 to improve integration.

[0037] In one embodiment, the lower end of the air source heat pump 1 is provided with a steering device.

[0038] Understandably, the air source heat pump 1 can be turned by a steering device to adjust the orientation of the solar panel 2, thereby facilitating the effective utilization of solar energy at different solar angles in different seasons.

[0039] Specifically, the steering device includes steering wheels 3 located at the four corners of the lower end of the air source heat pump 1, so as to facilitate the use of the four steering wheels 3 to steer the air source heat pump 1.

[0040] In one embodiment, the circulating water pipe 4 is provided with a serpentine coil section for contacting the inside of the solar panel 2.

[0041] It is understandable that the solar panel 2 directly exchanges heat with the serpentine coil section in contact with its inner side, which is beneficial for efficiently heating the water flowing through the serpentine coil section in the circulating water pipe 4.

[0042] In one embodiment, the energy-saving air source heat pump includes a first water pump, the input end of which is connected to an insulated water tank, and the output end of which is connected to the cold water end of the circulating water pipe 4.

[0043] Understandably, the first water pump provides circulation power so that the cold water in the insulated water tank enters the serpentine coil section for heat exchange and becomes hot water, and then the hot water returns to the insulated water tank.

[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the air source heat pump 1 includes an evaporator 101, a compressor 102, a condenser 103, and an expansion valve 104. The working fluid outlet of the evaporator 101 is sequentially connected to the compressor 102, the condenser 103, the expansion valve 104, and the working fluid inlet of the evaporator 101 to realize the four stages of heat absorption, compression, heat release, and throttling, respectively.

[0045] In one embodiment, the cold water inlet and hot water outlet of the condenser 103 are both connected to the insulated water tank; the energy-saving air source heat pump includes a second water pump, the input end of which is connected to the insulated water tank, and the output end of which is connected to the cold water inlet of the condenser 103.

[0046] Understandably, the second water pump can provide circulation power so that the cold water in the insulated water tank enters the condenser 103 for heat exchange and becomes hot water, and then the hot water returns to the insulated water tank.

[0047] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0048] Energy self-sufficiency and significant energy consumption reduction; specifically, the integrated high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar panel 2 can effectively absorb and utilize ambient light energy, directly converting it into part of the electricity required for the operation of the air source heat pump 1. This means that during periods of abundant sunshine, this invention can significantly reduce dependence on the power grid, directly reduce operating electricity costs, and achieve more economical and continuous operation.

[0049] Green and environmentally friendly, low-carbon operation; specifically, this utility model significantly reduces the carbon footprint during operation by utilizing clean and renewable solar energy. Its outer shell itself is called a micro power generation unit. It is an innovative model for practicing the "dual carbon" goal and can bring users a more environmentally friendly user experience.

[0050] Robust, reliable, and durable; specifically, the solar panel 2 can be made of high-strength and weather-resistant materials and processes, giving it excellent impact resistance, corrosion resistance and aging resistance, thereby effectively protecting the internal core components and ensuring the long-term stable operation of this utility model in complex outdoor environments, thus making its service life more guaranteed.

[0051] Partial noise reduction: Compared to the metal casing, the specially designed solar panel 2 can absorb and block the noise of the equipment operation to a certain extent, so as to bring a better operating environment.

[0052] In summary, this utility model is a perfect unity of function and form, energy saving and environmental protection. It not only reduces the long-term operating costs for users, but also represents a sustainable smart energy solution for the future, making it an ideal choice for those who pursue efficiency, environmental protection and quality of life.
