Description

[0002] An air source heat pump is a highly efficient and energy-saving heating device. It utilizes the low-temperature heat energy in the air and converts it into high-temperature heat energy to meet people's needs for domestic hot water or winter heating. Compared with traditional electric heating and gas heating methods, air source heat pumps have a higher energy efficiency ratio, which can greatly reduce energy consumption and operating costs. The working principle of an air source heat pump is based on the reverse Carnot cycle. It utilizes the physical properties of the refrigerant and achieves heat transfer and conversion through the coordinated work of components such as the compressor, expansion valve, evaporator, and condenser. During operation, the air source heat pump absorbs heat from the air, compresses it through the compressor to raise the temperature of the refrigerant, and then releases the heat into the water through the condenser, thereby achieving the purpose of heating.

The side of each heat-conducting plate 12 away from the heating module 11 extends through the connecting plate 9 and outwards. Sensor modules 10 are installed on the back of the connecting plate 9. The sensor modules 10 adopt a dual monitoring structure of main and redundant sensors. The sensor modules 10 are close to the heat pump fins 19, collect temperature data in real time and transmit it to the controller 2. The controller 2 uses the data of the main module as the core and the data of the redundant module as a backup. By comparing the deviation between the two, it can determine whether the sensor is working properly. A diverter block 15 is installed on the outer surface of the support frame 6. The outer surface of the diverter block 15 is connected to two air guide pipes 14. Two nozzles 13 are installed on the outer surface of the support frame 6. The end of each air guide pipe 14 away from the diverter block 15 is connected to the outer surface of the nozzle 13.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a pump body 16 is installed on the outer surface of the protective box 1. The output end of the pump body 16 passes through the protective box 1 and connects to the outer surface of the diverter block 15. A controller 2 is installed on the outer surface of the protective box 1. An air outlet 3 is opened on the upper surface of the protective box 1. A filter screen 4 is installed inside the air outlet 3. The exhaust gas is discharged after being filtered by the filter screen 4 of the air outlet 3 to avoid secondary pollution. An air intake 5 is opened on the outer surface of the protective box 1. A flow equalization plate 17 is installed inside the support frame 6. Multiple cooling pipes 18 are connected to the upper surface of the flow equalization plate 17. Multiple fins 19 are installed on the outer surface of the multiple cooling pipes 18. The flow equalization plate 17 evenly distributes the refrigerant to the cooling pipes 18 and exchanges heat with the air inside the protective box 1 through the fins 19.

[0023] like Figure 4As shown, the bottom surface of the flow equalization plate 17 is connected to two transmission pipes 23. One end of the transmission pipe 23, away from the flow equalization plate 17, passes through the support frame 6 and connects to the compressor 24. The other end of the transmission pipe 23, away from the flow equalization plate 17, passes through the support frame 6 and connects to the expansion valve 25. The flow equalization plate 17 connects the compressor 24 and the expansion valve 25 through the transmission pipes 23, forming a refrigerant circulation loop. A heat exchange module 26 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the protective box 1. The heat exchange module 26 can be a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. A spiral tube 27 is installed inside the heat exchange module 26. One end of the spiral tube 27 passes through the heat exchange module 26 and connects to the first connecting pipe 28. The end of the first connecting pipe 28 away from the spiral tube 27 is connected to the outer surface of the compressor 24. The other end of the spiral tube 27 passes through the heat exchange module 26 and connects to the compressor 24. A second connecting pipe 29 is connected, with one end of the second connecting pipe 29 away from the spiral tube 27 connected to the outer surface of the expansion valve 25.

A second water outlet pipe 31 is connected to the outer surface of the heat exchange module 26, with one end of the second water outlet pipe 31 passing through the protective box 1 and extending to the outside of the protective box 1. The spiral tube 27 inside the heat exchange module 26 is connected to the heat pump main system through the first connecting pipe 28 and the second connecting pipe 29, transferring the refrigerant heat to the water inside the heat exchange module 26, and then outputting hot water through the first water outlet pipe 30 and the second water outlet pipe 31, realizing the coordinated operation of heating and hot water supply functions and antifreeze protection.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, a mounting bracket 20 is installed on the inner wall of the protective box 1. A motor 21 is installed on the front of the mounting bracket 20. The output end of the motor 21 passes through the mounting bracket 20 and is fitted with a fan blade 22. The motor 21 drives the fan blade 22 to rotate, accelerating the air circulation inside the protective box 1 and improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, when the surface of the sensing module 10 is frosted, the controller 2 will trigger the heating module 11 to work. Heat is quickly transferred to the surface of the sensing module 10 through the heat conduction plate 12 to melt the frost layer and prevent freezing. Then, the electric push rod 8 separates the sensing module 10 from the fins 19 to prevent them from sticking together. After that, the controller 2 starts the pump body 16 to draw in air from the outside, which is distributed to the two air guide pipes 14 through the diverter block 15. Finally, the airflow is sprayed onto the surface of the sensing module 10 through the nozzle 13 to blow away dust, residual moisture and incompletely melted frost particles.
