[0048] Step S101: when it is detected that there is a power-off indoor unit, the number of the power-off indoor units is obtained.

[0049] In this embodiment, when it is detected that there are indoor units with abnormal power failure in the multi-split air conditioner, the number of the indoor units with abnormal power failure can be obtained.

[0050] In one implementation, the cause of abnormal power failure of the indoor unit includes, but is not limited to, damage to components in a main control board of the indoor unit, failure of a power supply that supplies power to the indoor unit, and the like.

[0053] In this embodiment, the multi-split air conditioner can be controlled according to the ratio of the number of indoor units that are actually powered off to the total number of indoor units.

[0054] Based on the above steps S101-S102, when the embodiment of the present invention detects that there are powered-off indoor units in the multi-split air conditioner, the multi-split air conditioner can be controlled according to the proportion of the number of powered-off indoor units to the total number of indoor units. Through the above configuration, the embodiment of the present invention can still achieve the normal operation of the multi-split air conditioner after a small number of indoor units in the multi-split air conditioner are powered off, avoiding the situation where the entire multi-split air conditioner system is shut down due to power outages of a small number of indoor units, and can retain the cooling and heating functions and effects of the multi-split air conditioner to the greatest extent before after-sales maintenance, thereby ensuring the overall function of the multi-split air conditioner to a greater extent, improving the fault tolerance of the multi-split air conditioner, and improving the user experience.

[0055] The step S102 is further described below.

[0056] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, step S102 may include the following steps S1021 to S1023:

[0057] Step S1021: Compare the specific gravity with a preset specific gravity threshold.

[0058] In this implementation, the proportion of the indoor units that are powered off to the total number of indoor units may be compared with a preset proportion threshold.

[0059] Step S1022: If the specific gravity is less than or equal to the specific gravity threshold, the multi-split air conditioner is controlled according to the working state of the indoor unit that is powered off before the power failure.

[0060] In this implementation, step S1022 may further include the following steps S10221 and S10222:

[0063] Step S102211: If the working state of the indoor unit before power failure is the standby state, the state judgment result is determined to be the first judgment result.

[0064] In this embodiment, if the working state of the indoor unit that is powered off is the standby state before the power failure, the state judgment result of the indoor unit is the first judgment result.

[0065] In one embodiment, the standby state may include a heating standby state and a cooling standby state.

[0066] Step S102212: If the working state of the indoor unit before the power failure is the heating state, the state judgment result of the indoor unit is obtained according to the exhaust pressure of the compressor of the outdoor unit.

[0067] In this embodiment, the state judgment result may further include a second judgment result, and step S102212 may further include the following steps S1022121 and S1022123:

[0068] Step S1022121: Regularly detect the exhaust pressure of the compressor.

[0069] Step S1022122: If the exhaust pressure is less than or equal to the preset pressure threshold, the state judgment result is determined to be the first judgment result.

[0070] Step S1022123: If the exhaust pressure is greater than the pressure threshold, the state judgment result is determined to be the second judgment result.

[0071] Step S102213: If the working state of the indoor unit that is powered off before the power failure is the cooling state, the state judgment result of the indoor unit is obtained according to the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve of the indoor unit that is powered off before the power failure.

[0072] In this implementation, step S102213 may further include the following steps S1022131 to S1022133:

[0073] Step S1022131: Compare the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve of the indoor unit that is powered off before the power failure with a preset opening degree threshold.

[0075] Step S1022133: If the opening degree is greater than the opening degree threshold, the state judgment result is determined to be the second judgment result.

[0076] In this implementation, step S1022132 may further include step S10221321 and step S10221323:

[0077] Step S10221321: Compare the exhaust superheat of the compressor with a preset superheat threshold.

[0078] Step S10221322: If the exhaust superheat is greater than or equal to the superheat threshold, the state judgment result is determined to be the first judgment result.

[0079] Step S10221323: If the exhaust superheat is less than the superheat threshold, the state judgment result is determined to be the second judgment result.

[0080] Step S10222: Control the multi-split air conditioner according to the status judgment result.

[0081] In this implementation, step S10222 may further include the following steps S102221 and S102222:

[0082] Step S102221: When the status judgment results of the indoor units that are powered off are all the first judgment results, the outdoor units are controlled to operate according to the current mode.

[0083] Step S102222: When the status judgment result of at least one indoor unit that is powered off is the second judgment result, the multi-split air conditioner is controlled to shut down.

[0084] In this embodiment, if the status judgment results of all powered-off indoor units are the first judgment results, the outdoor unit can be controlled to operate in the current mode. If there is a second judgment result of the status judgment result of at least one powered-off indoor unit, the multi-split air conditioner is controlled to shut down, that is, as long as the second judgment result exists, the multi-split air conditioner needs to be controlled to shut down.

[0085] Step S1023: If the specific gravity is greater than the specific gravity threshold, the multi-split air conditioner is controlled to shut down.

[0086] In this embodiment, if the proportion of the number of indoor units that are powered off to the total number of indoor units is greater than a proportion threshold, it may be necessary to control the start and stop of the multi-split unit.
