In use, the condenser is placed inside the storage tank, and the heat-conducting plate is in close contact with the outside of the condenser. At the same time, the second extension block overlaps the top of the first extension block, and the screw holes are aligned. The condenser is then fixed with bolts. After fixing, the heat generated by the condenser is transferred to the inside of the storage tank through the heat-conducting plate and absorbed by the water inside, thereby cooling the condenser and increasing the temperature of the water inside the storage tank.

[0007] Preferably, the replacement mechanism includes a temperature detector, a solenoid valve, a pump body, a first pipe, a second pipe, and a third pipe. The temperature detector is fixed to the top of the storage tank and electrically connected to the control box.

The first pipe is installed on one side of the solenoid valve, and the other side of the first pipe is connected to the main water pipe. The second pipe is installed at the output end of the pump body, and the input end of the pump body extends into the storage tank through a pipe. The third pipe is embedded and fixed at the top of the storage tank. During use, when the temperature detector detects that the water temperature inside the storage tank exceeds the set value, the control box starts the pump body to pump out the hot water from the storage tank. The heated water source is then conveniently supplied to the crew, achieving the purpose of heat recovery and saving water resources. After a period of time, the pump body is turned off, and the solenoid valve is opened, allowing the water source to be replenished into the storage tank. This cycle continues.

[0012] Preferably, the solenoid valve and the pump body are electrically connected to the control box, and the third pipe is an L-shaped pipe.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. When using this utility model, the condenser is placed inside the storage tank, and the heat-conducting plate is in close contact with the outside of the condenser. At the same time, the second extension block overlaps the top of the first extension block, and the screw holes are aligned. It is fixed by bolts. After the fixing is completed, the heat generated by the condenser is transferred to the inside of the storage tank through the heat-conducting plate and absorbed by the water inside, so as to cool the condenser. At the same time, the temperature of the water inside the storage tank rises.

[0015] 2. When the temperature detector detects that the water temperature inside the storage tank exceeds the set value, the control box starts the pump to pump out the hot water from the storage tank. The heated water is then used to supply hot water to the crew, achieving the purpose of heat recovery and saving water resources. After a period of time, the pump is turned off and the solenoid valve is opened to allow the water to be replenished into the storage tank. This cycle continues. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a heat recovery device for marine air conditioning, including a storage tank 1 and a condenser 10. The storage tank 1 has a replacement mechanism on the outside for easy replacement of the water source inside the storage tank 1. A control box 2 is fixed to one side of the storage tank 1 by bolts. The storage tank 1 is an annular box. The condenser 10 is placed inside the storage tank 1. There is a fixing mechanism between the condenser 10 and the storage tank 1 for easy fixing of the condenser 10.

[0022] The fixing mechanism includes a first extension block 9, a second extension block 12, and a heat-conducting plate 11. The first extension block 9 is welded and fixed to the inside of the storage tank 1. There are two first extension blocks 9, symmetrically installed on both sides of the inside of the storage tank 1. The second extension block 12 is welded and fixed to the outside of the condenser 10. There are two second extension blocks 12, symmetrically installed on both sides of the condenser 10. Both the first extension block 9 and the second extension block 12 are provided with screw holes. The heat-conducting plate 11 is embedded and fixed to the inside of the storage tank 1. One side of the heat-conducting plate 11 extends into the inside of the storage tank 1, and the other side is close to the outside of the condenser 10. In use, the condenser 10 is placed inside the storage tank 1, and at this time the heat-conducting plate 11 is close to the outside of the condenser 10. At the same time, the second extension block 12 overlaps the top of the first extension block 9. At this time, the screw holes are aligned and fixed by bolts. After fixing, the heat generated by the condenser 10 is transferred to the inside of the storage tank 1 through the heat-conducting plate 11 and absorbed by the water source inside, so as to cool the condenser 10. At the same time, the temperature of the water source inside the storage tank 1 rises.

[0023] The replacement mechanism includes a temperature detector 8, a solenoid valve 3, a pump body 4, a first pipe 6, a second pipe 5, and a third pipe 7. The temperature detector 8 is fixed to the top of the storage tank 1 via a mounting bracket and is electrically connected to the control box 2. The solenoid valve 3 is embedded and fixed to one side of the storage tank 1, and the pump body 4 is embedded and fixed to one side of the storage tank 1. The first pipe 6 is installed on one side of the solenoid valve 3 via a connecting valve, and the other side of the first pipe 6 is connected to the main water pipe. The second pipe 5 is installed at the output end of the pump body 4 via a connecting valve, and the input end of the pump body 4 extends into the storage tank 1 via a pipe. The solenoid valve 3 and the pump body 4 are both electrically connected to the control box 2. The third pipe 7 is embedded and fixed at the top of the storage tank 1 and is an L-shaped pipe. During use, when the temperature detector 8 detects that the water temperature inside the storage tank 1 exceeds the set value, the control box 2 starts the pump body 4 to pump out the hot water from the storage tank 1. The heated water is then conveniently supplied to the crew, achieving the purpose of heat recovery and saving water resources. After a period of time, the pump body 4 is turned off, and the solenoid valve 3 is opened, allowing the water to be replenished into the storage tank 1, and this cycle continues.

[0024] Working principle: During use, the condenser 10 is placed inside the storage tank 1, with the heat-conducting plate 11 tightly attached to the outside of the condenser 10. Simultaneously, the second extension block 12 overlaps the top of the first extension block 9, with the screw holes aligned. The tank is then secured with bolts. After securing, the heat generated by the condenser 10 is transferred to the storage tank 1 through the heat-conducting plate 11 and absorbed by the internal water source, thus cooling the condenser 10 and simultaneously raising the temperature of the water inside the storage tank 1. During use, when the temperature detector 8 detects that the water temperature inside the storage tank 1 exceeds the set value, the control box 2 activates the pump 4 to pump out the hot water from the storage tank 1. This heated water source is then conveniently supplied to the crew, achieving heat recovery and saving water resources. After a period of time, the pump 4 is turned off, and the solenoid valve 3 is opened, allowing water to refill the storage tank 1, thus completing the cycle.
