[0081] It should be noted here that if the difference between the second water temperature data T2 and the first water temperature data T1 is less than or equal to the fourth preset threshold value Th4, or the first water temperature data T1 is greater than the third preset threshold value Th3, at this time, it proves that the temperature of the hot water in the solar water heater is lower or the temperature of the hot water in the insulated water tank is higher, and there is no need to perform thermal energy coupling between the solar water heater and the insulated water tank, which further improves the intelligence level of this application.

[0082] In some embodiments, the control signal for selecting the thermal energy coupling water supply mode of the air energy heat pump unit and the solar water collector is determined based on the judgment result, including: judging whether the second water temperature data T2 is less than or equal to the thirteenth preset threshold value Th13, and judging whether the first water temperature data T1 is greater than or equal to the fourteenth preset threshold value Th14, and determining the control signal for selecting the thermal energy coupling water supply mode of the corresponding air energy heat pump unit and the solar water collector based on the judgment result.

Accordingly, based on the control signal, executing the selected thermal energy coupling water supply mode between the air-source heat pump unit and the solar water heater includes controlling thermal energy coupling between the solar water heater and the insulated water tank.

[0084] It should be noted here that if the second water temperature data T2 is less than or equal to the thirteenth preset threshold value Th13, and the first water temperature data T1 is greater than or equal to the fourteenth preset threshold value Th14, it proves that at this time, the water temperature in the solar water heater is too low and there is a risk of freezing. At this time, the water temperature of the insulated water tank is higher. At this time, controlling the thermal energy coupling between the solar water heater and the insulated water tank can effectively achieve solar antifreeze. The thermal energy coupling at this time can be achieved by turning on the solar circulation pump, which further improves the intelligence level of this application.

[0085] A control signal for selecting a thermal energy coupling water supply mode for the corresponding air-source heat pump unit and solar water heater is determined based on the judgment result and the first water temperature data T1, the second water temperature data T2, and the difference between the second water temperature data T2 and the first water temperature data T1.

Accordingly, based on the control signal, the selected thermal energy coupling water supply mode for the air-source heat pump unit and solar water heater is executed, including controlling the solar water heater and the insulated water tank to stop thermal energy coupling.

[0086] In some embodiments, the control signal for selecting the thermal energy coupling water supply mode of the corresponding air-to-energy heat pump unit and the solar water heater is determined based on the judgment result and the difference between the first water temperature data T1, the second water temperature data T2, and the first water temperature data T1, including: if the judgment result is that the water valve is opened on the user side, it is determined whether the second water temperature data T2 is within the first preset temperature range Te1, and the control signal for selecting the thermal energy coupling water supply mode of the corresponding air-to-energy heat pump unit and the solar water heater is determined based on the judgment result.

[0087] In some embodiments, determining a control signal for selecting a thermal energy coupling water supply mode between the air-source heat pump unit and the solar water heater based on a judgment result includes: if the second water temperature data T2 is within the first preset temperature interval Te1, determining a control signal for selecting a third thermal energy coupling water supply mode, wherein the third thermal energy coupling water supply mode is a solar water supply mode. Accordingly, based on the control signal, executing the selected thermal energy coupling water supply mode between the air-source heat pump unit and the solar water heater includes: controlling the solar water heater to supply water to the user side, controlling the first electric butterfly valve M1 and the second electric butterfly valve M2 to open simultaneously, and controlling the third electric butterfly valve M3 and the fifth electric butterfly valve M5 to close simultaneously, thereby implementing the third thermal energy coupling water supply mode and controlling the solar water heater to supply water to the user side.

[0088] It should be noted that if the second water temperature data T2 is within the first preset temperature range Te1, it proves that the water temperature of the solar water collector is suitable for the user, and the solar water collector can be directly controlled to supply water to the user.

[0089] In some embodiments, the control signal for selecting the thermal energy coupling water supply mode of the air energy heat pump unit and the solar water collector is determined based on the judgment result, including: if the second water temperature data T2 is not within the first preset temperature range Te1, determining the control signal for selecting the fourth thermal energy coupling linkage water supply mode, and the fourth thermal energy coupling linkage water supply mode is to supply water to the user side through an insulated water tank.

[0090] Correspondingly, according to the control signal, the selected thermal energy coupling water supply mode of the air energy heat pump unit and the solar water heater is executed, including: controlling the fifth electric butterfly valve M4 to open, and controlling the first electric butterfly valve M1 and the second electric butterfly valve M2 to close at the same time, realizing the fourth thermal energy coupling linkage water supply mode, and controlling the insulated water tank to supply water to the user side.

[0091] In some embodiments, before executing the thermal energy coupling water supply mode of the selected air-to-energy heat pump unit and the solar water heater according to the control signal, the method also includes: obtaining the current date data, the current time data and the liquid level data in the insulated water tank, obtaining the current season data according to the current date data, judging whether the current season data is winter, and determining whether to control the air-to-energy heat pump unit to start the direct heating mode according to the judgment result and the liquid level data and the current time data in the insulated water tank.

[0092] In some embodiments, based on the judgment result and the liquid level data and current time data in the insulation box, determining whether to control the air-source heat pump unit to start the direct heating mode includes: if the judgment result is that the current season is winter, judging whether the liquid level data L in the insulation box is less than or equal to the fifth preset threshold Th5, and determining whether to control the air-source heat pump unit to start the direct heating mode based on the judgment result.

[0093] In some embodiments, determining whether to control the air-source heat pump unit to activate the direct heating mode based on the control signal includes: if the liquid level data L is less than or equal to a fifth preset threshold value Th5, determining the control signal to control the air-source heat pump unit to activate the direct heating mode. Accordingly, executing the selected heat energy coupling water supply mode of the air-source heat pump unit and the solar water heater based on the control signal includes: controlling the air-source heat pump unit to activate the direct heating mode.

[0094] It should be noted here that if the liquid level data L is less than or equal to the fifth preset threshold Th5, it proves that it is not only winter with low temperature, but also the liquid level data is low, and the water supply of the insulated water tank may be insufficient. While controlling the air energy heat pump unit to turn on the direct heating mode, the tap water replenishment mode is turned on, which further improves the intelligence level of this application and greatly improves the user experience.

[0095] In some embodiments, determining whether to control the air-source heat pump unit to activate the direct heating mode based on a control signal includes: if the liquid level data L is greater than a fifth preset threshold value Th5, determining whether the liquid level data L is greater than or equal to a sixth preset threshold value Th6; if so, determining a control signal to control the air-source heat pump unit to deactivate the direct heating mode. Accordingly, executing the selected heat energy coupling water supply mode of the air-source heat pump unit and the solar water heater based on the control signal includes: controlling the air-source heat pump unit to deactivate the direct heating mode.

[0096] It should be noted here that if the liquid level data L is greater than the sixth preset threshold Th6, it proves that at this time, the water amount in the insulated water tank is sufficient and there is no need to turn on the direct heating mode, which further improves the intelligence level of this application. The direct heating mode is to directly heat the water passing through the air-to-heat heat pump unit to the set temperature, and the circulating water heating is to gradually heat the water passing through the air-to-heat pump unit to the set temperature.

[0097] In some embodiments, the control signal for determining whether to control the air-source heat pump unit to start the direct heating mode based on the judgment result and the liquid level data and current time data in the insulation box includes: if the judgment result is that the current season is not winter, judging whether the current time data Ti is within the second preset time interval Ti2; if so, judging whether the liquid level data L is less than or equal to the fifth preset threshold Th5, and determining whether to control the air-source heat pump unit to start the direct heating mode based on the judgment result.

[0098] In some embodiments, determining, based on the judgment result, whether to control the air-source heat pump unit to activate the direct heating mode control signal further includes: if the liquid level data L is less than or equal to a fifth preset threshold value Th5, determining a control signal to control the air-source heat pump unit to activate the direct heating mode. Accordingly, based on the control signal, executing the selected heat energy coupling water supply mode of the air-source heat pump unit and the solar water heater includes: controlling the air-source heat pump unit to activate the direct heating mode.

[0099] It is understood that the second preset time interval Ti2 is the time interval of peak water consumption, indicating that the current time is a peak water consumption period. If the current time data is within the second preset time interval Ti2, at this time, if the liquid level data is less than or equal to the fifth preset threshold Th5, it proves that the water output of the insulated water tank may be insufficient. At this time, the air-to-energy heat pump unit is controlled to start the direct heating mode, further improving the intelligence level of this application. This application sets four maximum liquid levels based on the total amount of hot water used throughout the day in the applicable location, and comprehensively considers the peak and non-peak water consumption periods to provide a system segmented control strategy, further improving the intelligence level of this application.

[0100] In some embodiments, determining, based on the judgment result, whether to control the air-source heat pump unit to activate the direct heating mode includes: if the liquid level data L is greater than a fifth preset threshold value Th5, determining whether the liquid level data L is greater than or equal to a sixth preset threshold value Th6; if so, determining a control signal to control the air-source heat pump unit to deactivate the direct heating mode. Accordingly, based on the control signal, executing the selected thermal energy coupling water supply mode of the air-source heat pump unit and the solar water heater includes: controlling the air-source heat pump unit to deactivate the direct heating mode.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, if the current time data Ti is not within the second preset time interval Ti2, a determination is made as to whether the liquid level data L is less than or equal to a seventh preset threshold value Th7. If so, a control signal is determined to control the air-source heat pump unit to activate the direct heating mode. Accordingly, based on the control signal, the selected thermal energy coupling water supply mode of the air-source heat pump unit and the solar water heater is executed, including: controlling the air-source heat pump unit to activate the direct heating mode.

[0102] In some embodiments, if the liquid level data L is greater than a seventh preset threshold value Th7, a determination is made as to whether the liquid level data L is greater than or equal to an eighth preset threshold value Th8. If so, a control signal is determined to control the air-source heat pump unit to deactivate the direct heating mode. Accordingly, based on the control signal, the selected heat energy coupling water supply mode of the air-source heat pump unit and the solar water heater is executed, including: controlling the air-source heat pump unit to deactivate the direct heating mode.

[0103] In some embodiments, the method further includes: determining whether the first water temperature data T1 is less than or equal to the ninth preset threshold Th9; if so, determining a control signal for controlling the start of the circulation pump of the air energy heat pump unit, and controlling the air energy heat pump unit and the insulated water tank to heat the circulating water.

[0104] It should be noted here that when the first water temperature data is less than or equal to the ninth preset threshold, it proves that the water temperature in the insulated water tank is low at this time, but the temperature is not too low and does not affect user use. The air energy heat pump unit and the insulated water tank can be controlled to perform circulating water heating without the need for direct heating mode, thereby further saving energy and further improving the intelligence level of this application.

[0105] In some embodiments, the method further includes: if the first water temperature data T1 is greater than a ninth preset threshold Th9, determining a control signal to shut down the circulating pump of the air energy heat pump unit, and controlling the air energy heat pump unit and the insulated water tank to stop circulating water heating.

[0106] It should be noted here that when the first water temperature data T1 is greater than the ninth preset threshold Th9, it proves that the water temperature in the insulated water tank at this time can meet the user's needs. The air energy heat pump unit and the insulated water tank can be controlled to stop the circulating water heating, thereby further saving energy and further improving the intelligence level of this application.

[0107] In some embodiments, the method also includes: determining whether the first water temperature data T1 is greater than or equal to the eleventh preset threshold value Th11, and determining whether the liquid level data L is less than or equal to the sixth preset threshold value Th6, and determining the control signal for controlling the opening or closing of the tap water replenishment solenoid valve based on the judgment result, and replenishing the tap water of the air-to-energy heat pump and solar-energy coupled hot water system or stopping the tap water replenishment of the air-to-energy heat pump and solar-energy coupled hot water system.

[0108] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0109] If the first water temperature data T1 is less than the eleventh preset threshold value Th11 and the liquid level data L is greater than the sixth preset threshold value Th6, a control signal for controlling the tap water replenishment solenoid valve to be closed is determined to stop the tap water replenishment of the air energy heat pump and solar energy coupled hot water system;

[0110] If the first water temperature data T1 is greater than or equal to the eleventh preset threshold Th11 and the liquid level data L is less than the sixth preset threshold Th6, the control signal for controlling the opening of the tap water replenishment solenoid valve is determined to replenish tap water in the air-to-heat pump and solar-energy coupled hot water system.

[0111] It should be noted here that if the first water temperature data T1 is greater than or equal to the eleventh preset threshold and the liquid level data is less than the sixth preset threshold Th6, it proves that at this time, the water temperature in the insulated water tank is high but the liquid level is low. At this time, this application performs tap water replenishment, which further improves the intelligence level of this application.

[0112] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0113] If it is determined that the water valve on the current user side is open, the control signal for controlling the water supply pump on the user side is determined to start water supply to the user side;

[0114] If it is determined that the water valve on the current user side is not opened, a control signal for shutting down the water supply pump on the user side is determined to stop water supply to the user side.

[0115] It is understandable that this application organically combines the air-to-energy heat pump unit with the solar water heater, and intelligently controls them, giving full play to the energy-saving advantages of solar energy and the reliability of the air-to-energy heat pump unit. This application upgrades the solar system structure and optimizes the solar system segmented control strategy, adding a direct water supply pipeline for the solar water heater. Through solar segmented control, the direct water supply to the solar water heater and the circulating heat supply with the insulated water tank are completed, giving priority to fully utilizing the clean heat source of solar energy, reducing the use of the air-to-energy heat pump unit, and providing an efficient hot water system solution through the intelligent linkage control of the air-to-energy heat pump and the solar water heater.
