At this time, the evaporator cannot evaporate the condensed liquid into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas, and the entire heat pump system cannot operate normally. In this case, the phase change material needs to be heated to change it from a solid state back to a liquid state to store heat for the evaporator to work.

- the specific process of heating the circulating water until it is discharged can be as follows: first, the reversing device 1 is in the first working state, and the circulating water enters the water tank 61 from the water inlet; it reaches the second box 62 under the action of the circulating water pump 63, and is heated under the action of the second heat exchanger 3; the heated circulating water reaches the spray arm 64 and the third box 66 respectively through the circulating water pump 63; the circulating water flowing into the spray arm 64 is sprayed out under the action of the circulating water pump 63, and after being used externally, it flows back to the water tank 61 (at this time it is called waste water, and at this time no new circulating water will enter the water inlet of the water tank 61); the circulating water flowing to the third box 66 is temporarily stored in the third box 66; after the drainage pump 68 and the drainage pipe 69 discharge the waste water from the water tank 61, the reversing device 1 is adjusted to the second working state, and the circulating water in
- the heat in the wastewater can be transferred to the circulating water in the third box 66 via the drainage pipe 69.
- the heat in the wastewater is used to maintain the temperature of the circulating water in the third box 66 during the drainage process.
- FIG8 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a phase change heat pump system provided in an embodiment of the present application.
- the phase change heat exchanger 5 in the phase change heat pump system may further include an auxiliary heat exchange component 53.
- the auxiliary heat exchange component 53 may include a fourth box 531 and a heat exchange medium 532, and the heat exchange medium 532 is filled in the fourth box 531.
- the auxiliary heat exchange component 53 is in contact with the first box 51, and is used to perform heat exchange with the phase change heat exchanger 5 to heat the phase change material 52 in the first box 51.
- the first box body 51 is located in the fourth box body 531, and a third spacing space is formed between the inner walls of the first box body 51 and the fourth box body 531, the heat exchange medium 532 is filled in the third spacing space, and at least a portion of the first box body 51 is immersed in the heat exchange medium 532, and the heat exchange medium 532 is used to heat the phase change material 52 in the first box body 51.
- the fourth tank 531 can be connected to the circulating water pump 63 or the third tank 66, and the heated circulating water in the second tank 62 can flow to the fourth tank 531 via the circulating water pump 63 or the third tank 66 and be stored in the fourth tank 531.
- the heat exchange medium 532 is the heated circulating water.
- the fourth box 531 is not connected to the circulating water pump 63 or the third box 66, but is connected to an external heat exchange medium supply device, which continuously transports the heat exchange medium 532 to the fourth box 531. No limitation is made here for the heat exchange medium supply device.
- the heat exchange medium 532 transfers heat to the phase change material 52 through the first box 51.
- the time for the phase change material 52 to change from liquid to solid can be prolonged, and the time for the phase change material 52 to continuously release heat can be increased, thereby increasing the time for the first heat exchanger 2 to perform the evaporation function, and then increasing the time for the second heat exchanger 3 to heat the circulating water;
- the heat exchange medium 532 can also provide heat for the phase change material 52, which is beneficial to accelerate the regeneration rate of the phase change material 52, thereby helping to improve the working efficiency of the phase change heat pump system.
- the first box body 51 can be located outside the fourth box body 531. At this time, the outer surface of the first box body 51 contacts the outer surface of the fourth box body 531 to achieve heat exchange. Adopting this solution is beneficial to reducing the production and processing of the various components of the phase change heat exchanger 5 and reducing the difficulty of assembly between the various components of the phase change heat exchanger 5.
- the auxiliary heat exchange component 53 may also include a micro-drain pump, which is connected to the fourth box 531.
- the micro-drain pump can be unidirectionally connected to the water tank, that is, the micro-drain pump can discharge the heat exchange medium 532 to the water tank 61, and the circulating water in the water tank 61 will not enter the fourth box 531 through the micro-drain pump.
- the circulation of the heat exchange medium 532 in the fourth box 531 can be achieved, which is conducive to timely discharge of the heat exchange medium 532 with a lower temperature and re-input of the heat exchange medium 532 with a higher temperature, thereby ensuring continuous and efficient heat transfer to the phase change material 52.
- one interface of the micro drainage pump is connected to the fourth box body 531, and the other interface is connected to the outside (not connected to the water tank 61).
- the heat exchange medium 532 can be directly discharged to prevent the heat exchange medium 532 from mixing with the circulating water or waste water in the water tank 61. It is also helpful to simplify the connection relationship between the various components of the phase change heat pump system and reduce the difficulty of system installation.
- the reversing device 1 when the reversing device 1 is in the first working state and the phase change material 52 is transformed into a solid state, the reversing device 1 is adjusted to the second working state, so that the first heat exchanger 2 heats the phase change material 52, thereby realizing active heating of the phase change material 52.
- the method of actively heating the phase change material by the first heat exchanger has a higher heating efficiency than the method of passive heating (natural wind heating, circulating water heating, air heating, etc.) in the related art, and significantly shortens the heating time of the phase change material 52, thereby being conducive to improving the working efficiency of the phase change heat pump system.
- an embodiment of the present application provides a terminal device, which includes any phase change heat pump system provided in the embodiment of the present application.
- the terminal device is a washing device, which may further include a base, a shell, and a partition.
- the partition is located between the base and the shell, and the partition may be sealed to the base or to the shell.
- a receiving cavity is formed between the partition and the base, and the phase change heat pump system is located in the receiving cavity.
