[0056] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the multi-connected air conditioning system control device structure of the hardware running environment involved in the embodiment scheme of the present application.

[0058] As Figure 3As shown, the multi-split air conditioning system control device can include a processor 1001, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a communication bus 1002, a user interface 1003, a network interface 1004, and a memory 1005.

The user interface 1003 can include a display, an input unit such as a keyboard, and can also include a standard wired interface, a wireless interface. The network interface 1004 can optionally include a standard wired interface, a wireless interface (such as a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) interface). The memory 1005 can be a high-speed random access memory (RAM) memory, or a stable non-volatile memory (NVM) such as a disk memory. The memory 1005 can also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 1001.

[0059] Those skilled in the art can understand that Figure 4 The structure shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation on the multi-split air conditioning system control device, and can include more or fewer components than the figure, or combine certain components, or different component arrangements.

[0060] As Figure 4 As shown, the memory 1005 as a storage medium can include an operating system, a network communication module, a user interface module, and a multi-split air conditioning system control program.

[0061] In Figure 5 In the multi-split air conditioning system control device shown, the network interface 1004 is mainly used for data communication with a network server; the user interface 1003 is mainly used for data interaction with a user; the processor 1001 and the memory 1005 in the multi-split air conditioning system control device can be arranged in the multi-split air conditioning system control device, and the multi-split air conditioning system control device calls the multi-split air conditioning system control program stored in the memory 1005 through the processor 1001, and executes the multi-split air conditioning system control method provided by the embodiment of the application.

[0062] The embodiment of the application provides a multi-split air conditioning system control method, which refers to Figure 5 , Figure 6 The flowchart of a first embodiment of the multi-split air conditioning system control method of the application is shown.

[0063] In this embodiment, the multi-split air conditioning system control method includes the following steps:

[0064] Step S10: Determine the current energy demand of the multi-split air conditioning system according to the operating state of each indoor unit.

[0065] In this embodiment, the execution subject of the embodiment can be the multi-split air conditioning system control device, which has functions of data processing, data communication, program running, etc. The multi-split air conditioning system control device can be a controller inside an air conditioner. Of course, it can also be other devices with similar functions, which are not limited in the embodiment. For ease of illustration, the embodiment is described taking the multi-split air conditioning system control device as an example.

[0066] It should be noted that the existing multi-split air conditioning system capacity matching method: one-to-many indoor units, energy demand overcapacity, using a jet enthalpy compressor to meet the capacity demand, using a large displacement compressor to meet the capacity demand, using an excess heat exchanger to meet the capacity demand. The shortcomings of the existing multi-split air conditioning system capacity matching method: when the energy demand is overcapacity, it is easy to appear poor refrigeration and heating, which seriously affects the user's feeling. Non-jet enthalpy cannot completely meet the capacity demand in severe environments such as ultra-low temperature and ultra-high temperature. When the energy demand is small, the compressor "big horse pulls small car" appears, causing high power consumption. And when the large displacement compressor runs at low frequency, abnormal noise and vibration are easy to appear, affecting the service life of the compressor. The heat exchanger volume / volume is too large, which is limited by the body space / user installation space, and the cost is high. When the compressor runs at high frequency, the corresponding exhaust temperature and winding temperature are high, affecting the service life of the compressor.

[0067] In this embodiment, in view of the above technical problems, a structure of a multi-split air conditioning system is first proposed, and the specific structure is shown in Figure 6 Figure 7 ​The multi-split air conditioning system in the embodiment comprises an economizer 1, an expansion valve 2, a solenoid valve 3, a first sensor 4, a second sensor 5, a compressor 6, a gas-liquid separator 7, an oil return capillary 8, an oil return hole 9, an oil separator 10, a four-way valve 11, an outdoor sensor 12, a direct-current fan 13, a main electronic expansion valve 14, a filter 15, a refrigerant heat dissipation ring 16, a temperature-sensitive bag 17, a vapor-side pipe 18, and a liquid-side pipe 19. The multi-split air conditioning system adopts a small-displacement non-ejecting compressor, and can supplement air and increase enthalpy of the low-pressure side of the multi-split air conditioning system through the economizer auxiliary path. The small-displacement compressor meets the low-frequency output of the multi-split single / double small indoor unit in a low energy demand, is energy-saving and efficient, and meets the high-frequency output in a high energy demand under overloading, severe environment, and the like through the low-pressure side air supplement and enthalpy increase. It should be noted that the small-displacement compressor can also solve the problem of abnormal noise and vibration during low-frequency operation. The economizer auxiliary path is used to supplement air and increase enthalpy of the low-pressure side of the system, and the non-ejecting compressor realizes two-stage compression, which is not only energy-saving and efficient, but also can effectively reduce the exhaust temperature, so that the motor efficiency and winding temperature of the compressor are kept within a normal range, and the service life is prolonged.

[0068] In specific implementation, in the embodiment, it is necessary to distinguish according to the matching number of indoor and outdoor units of the multi-split system, that is, to determine the current energy demand of the multi-split air conditioning system according to the operating state of each indoor unit. The more the number of indoor units is turned on, the larger the matching number is, and the higher the energy demand of the multi-split air conditioning system is. The specific energy demand determination method can also adopt other ways, which are not limited in the embodiment.

[0069] Step S20: determining the energy demand stage in which the current energy demand is located.

[0070] In specific implementation, after determining the current energy demand of the multi-split air conditioning system, the embodiment further determines the energy demand stage corresponding to the current energy demand. Specifically, the embodiment can compare the current energy demand with a plurality of energy demand stages set in advance, so as to determine the energy demand stage corresponding to the current energy demand. The energy demand stages set in advance in the embodiment can refer to FIG. 1. Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 1, the energy demand stage can be divided into a high energy demand stage of 90% to 130%, a medium energy demand stage of 50% to 90%, a low energy demand stage of 20% to 50%, and a small energy demand stage (min energy demand stage) of 20% or less. The specific energy demand stage can also be adjusted according to the actual situation, which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0071] Step S30: adjusting the frequency of the compressor, the switch state of the solenoid valve, and the opening degree of the expansion valve according to the energy demand stage.

[0072] In a specific implementation, the adjustment strategies adopted in this embodiment are different for different energy demand stages, and adjustment is performed according to the adjustment strategy corresponding to each different energy demand stage. The adjustment includes the frequency of the compressor, the on-off state of the electromagnetic valve, and the opening degree of the expansion valve. It is also emphasized that the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve are linked to be opened or closed in this embodiment, and after the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve are simultaneously opened, the opening degree of the expansion valve needs to be further adjusted. The adjustment manner can be further referred to Figure 7 For example, for the adjustment of the compressor frequency, when the energy demand stage is a high energy demand stage, the adjustment rate of the compressor frequency is 4 Hz / 5 s, when the energy demand stage is a medium energy demand stage, the adjustment rate of the compressor frequency is 3 Hz / 5 s, when the energy demand stage is a low energy demand stage, the adjustment rate of the compressor frequency is 2 Hz / 5 s, and when the energy demand stage is a small energy demand stage, the adjustment rate of the compressor frequency is 1 Hz / 5 s. For the adjustment of the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve, for example, when the energy demand stage is a high energy demand stage, the multi-split air conditioning system opens the air supplement and enthalpy increase, the economizer auxiliary road is opened, and the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve of the economizer auxiliary road are linked to be opened or closed. At this time, the expansion valve and the electromagnetic valve of the economizer auxiliary road are simultaneously opened. For example, when the energy demand stage is a low energy demand stage, the multi-split air conditioning system does not open the air supplement and enthalpy increase, and the economizer auxiliary road is closed. At this time, the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve are not opened. The above adjustment manner is only for illustration, and in actual situations, corresponding adjustment can be performed according to actual adjustment. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0073] In this embodiment, the current energy demand of the multi-split air conditioning system is determined according to the operating state of each indoor unit, the energy demand stage in which the current energy demand is located is determined, and the frequency of the compressor, the on-off state of the electromagnetic valve, and the opening degree of the expansion valve are adjusted according to the energy demand stage. The compressor and the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve connected with the economizer can be adjusted according to the energy demand of the multi-split air conditioning system, avoiding the phenomenon of poor refrigeration and heating when the energy demand is over-provisioned. At the same time, a small displacement non-injection enthalpy compressor is adopted, the air supplement and enthalpy increase of the low-pressure side of the multi-split air conditioning system are performed through the economizer auxiliary road, the energy efficiency of the unit is improved, and the power loss is avoided.

[0074] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a second embodiment of a multi-split air conditioning system control method of the application.

[0075] Based on the above first embodiment, in the multi-split air conditioning system control method of this embodiment, the step S30 specifically includes:

[0076] Step S301: When the energy demand stage is a high energy demand stage, the frequency of the compressor is increased at a first frequency adjustment rate.

[0077] In a specific implementation, when it is judged that the current energy demand stage belongs to the high energy demand stage, the frequency of the compressor is raised according to the first frequency modulation rate in this embodiment, that is, the compressor rises to the high frequency field according to the starting platform, wherein the first frequency modulation rate can be set to 4 Hz / 3 s, and other values can also be set according to actual control requirements, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0078] Step S302: open the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve, increase the opening degree of the expansion valve according to the target expansion valve adjustment rate, and maintain the expansion valve at the current opening degree when the current opening degree of the expansion valve reaches the set opening degree threshold.

[0079] It should be noted that after the frequency of the compressor rises to the upper limit value of the frequency of the high energy demand stage, the system opens the gas supplement and enthalpy increase, the economizer auxiliary road is opened, and the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve are further opened in this embodiment. After the expansion valve is opened with the minimum number X, the feedback of the first sensor and the second sensor is detected, the adjustment number of the expansion valve is adjusted, and the superheat degree of the economizer is continuously adjusted.

[0080] In this embodiment, the superheat degree of the economizer can be calculated every 20 s, wherein the superheat degree of the economizer can be determined according to the auxiliary road inlet temperature and the auxiliary road outlet temperature. The first sensor is an auxiliary road inlet sensor, and the auxiliary road inlet temperature can be obtained. The second sensor is an auxiliary road outlet sensor, and the auxiliary road outlet temperature can be obtained. Then, the target expansion valve adjustment rate is determined according to the superheat degree of the economizer to adjust the opening degree of the expansion valve. Further, when the superheat degree of the economizer is greater than 5℃, the target expansion valve adjustment rate is 2; when the superheat degree of the economizer is less than 5℃ and greater than 2℃, the target expansion valve adjustment rate is 1; when the superheat degree of the economizer is less than 2℃ and greater than 0℃, the target expansion valve adjustment rate is 0.5. The specific adjustment rate can also be adjusted according to actual requirements, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0081] It should be noted that by adjusting the opening degree of the expansion valve, the superheat degree of the economizer can be affected, and when the superheat degree of the economizer reaches a set value or is within a set range, the adjustment of the opening degree of the expansion valve is stopped, and at this time the multi-split air conditioning system operates according to the current opening degree of the expansion valve after adjustment. When the expansion valve is maintained at the current opening degree, the running state of each indoor unit in a preset period is further detected in this embodiment, for example, it can be detected once every 15 minutes. Through detection, it can be determined that the number of indoor units in the temperature reaching state, and if it does not exceed the preset number, the detection is continued according to the above period, and if it exceeds the preset number, the first frequency modulation rate is reduced. In this embodiment, the indoor temperature corresponding to the indoor unit and the set temperature can be used to determine whether the indoor unit is in the temperature reaching state, for example, T(indoor temperature)-Ts(set temperature) is greater than 0℃ and less than 0.5℃, it is determined that the indoor is in the temperature reaching state at this time. The preset number can be set to 3, and the first frequency modulation rate can be reduced from 4Hz / 3s to 4Hz / 5s. Of course, the above parameters are adjusted according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0082] Further, when it is judged that the current energy demand belongs to the medium energy demand stage, the frequency of the compressor is increased according to the second frequency modulation rate in this embodiment, that is, the compressor rises to the medium frequency field on the starting platform, wherein the second frequency modulation rate can be set to 3Hz / 3s, and other values can also be set according to actual control needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0083] After the frequency of the compressor reaches the upper limit of the medium frequency field, the running state of each indoor unit is also detected in this embodiment, and it is judged whether the number of indoor units in the temperature reaching state exceeds the preset number. Similarly, when the number of indoor units in the temperature reaching state exceeds the preset number, the second frequency modulation rate is reduced, and the second frequency modulation rate can be reduced from 3Hz / 5s to 3Hz / 5s. Further, if the preset number is not exceeded, and the duration recorded in the timer exceeds the preset duration, the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve are opened, and the opening degree of the expansion valve is also increased according to the target expansion valve adjustment rate, and the adjustment mode is similar to that in the high energy demand stage, which will not be repeated here.

[0084] Further, when the energy demand stage is a low energy demand stage, the frequency of the compressor is increased at a third frequency modulation rate in the embodiment, and the increase is stopped when the frequency reaches the upper limit of the low frequency range. The third frequency modulation rate can be set to 2 Hz / 3 s, and other values can also be set according to actual control requirements, which are not limited in the embodiment. At this time, the system does not start the gas supplement and enthalpy increase of the economizer auxiliary path, that is, the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve are not started. Then, the indoor unit in the temperature reaching state is detected in the same way as described above, and when the number exceeds the preset number, the third frequency modulation rate is reduced, which can be reduced from 2 Hz / 5 s to 2 Hz / 5 s.

[0085] When the energy demand stage is a low energy demand stage, the frequency of the compressor is increased at a third frequency modulation rate in the embodiment, and the increase is stopped when the frequency reaches the upper limit of the low frequency range. The third frequency modulation rate can be set to 2 Hz / 3 s, and other values can also be set according to actual control requirements, which are not limited in the embodiment. At this time, the system does not start the gas supplement and enthalpy increase of the economizer auxiliary path, that is, the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve are not started. Then, the indoor unit in the temperature reaching state is detected in the same way as described above, and when the number exceeds the preset number, the third frequency modulation rate is reduced, which can be reduced from 2 Hz / 5 s to 2 Hz / 5 s. When the energy demand stage is a low energy demand stage, the frequency of the compressor is increased at a third frequency modulation rate in the embodiment, and the increase is stopped when the frequency reaches the upper limit of the low frequency range. The third frequency modulation rate can be set to 2 Hz / 3 s, and other values can also be set according to actual control requirements, which are not limited in the embodiment. At this time, the system does not start the gas supplement and enthalpy increase of the economizer auxiliary path, that is, the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve are not started. Then, the indoor unit in the temperature reaching state is detected in the same way as described above, and when the number exceeds the preset number, the third frequency modulation rate is reduced, which can be reduced from 2 Hz / 5 s to 2 Hz / 5 s.

[0086] The embodiment adjusts the frequency of the compressor, the switch state of the electromagnetic valve and the opening degree of the expansion valve according to different energy demand stages of the multi-connected air conditioning system, adjusts the adjustment frequency of the opening degree of the expansion valve according to the superheat of the economizer for different energy demand stages, and further adjusts the frequency of the compressor according to the indoor temperature, thereby avoiding the poor refrigeration and heating when the energy demand is over-provisioned, and enabling the economizer to selectively open the air supplement and enthalpy increase when the energy demand is low, improving the energy efficiency of the unit and avoiding power loss.

[0087] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 The flowchart of the third embodiment of the multi-connected air conditioning system control method is shown.

[0088] Based on the first embodiment, the third embodiment of the multi-connected air conditioning system control method is provided.

[0089] In the embodiment, the step S20 further includes:

[0090] Step S201: Obtain the current discharge temperature of the compressor.

[0091] Step S202: Open the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve, and increase the opening degree of the expansion valve at a target expansion valve adjustment rate, wherein the target expansion valve adjustment rate is determined by the temperature difference between the current discharge temperature and a preset discharge temperature.

[0092] It should be noted that in the case of energy demand, the discharge temperature during the operation of the unit also needs to be detected in the embodiment. After obtaining the discharge temperature, the current discharge temperature is compared with the first preset discharge temperature. If the current discharge temperature is less than or equal to the first preset discharge temperature, subsequent adjustment can be performed based on the different energy demands of the energy demand stage. However, if it is detected that the current discharge temperature exceeds the first preset discharge temperature and the continuous operation time exceeds t1, the economizer opens the air supplement and enthalpy increase, the electromagnetic valve is opened, the expansion valve is opened, the expansion valve A is opened with the minimum step X, and then the sensor monitors the discharge temperature Td. When Td-97>5℃, the expansion valve is adjusted at a rate of 2, which can avoid the shutdown of the unit due to high discharge. When Td-97>3℃, the expansion valve is adjusted at a rate of 1, but when Td-97>1℃, the expansion valve is adjusted at a rate of 0.5. The first preset discharge temperature can be set to 97℃, Td represents the current discharge temperature, and Td-97 represents the temperature difference between the current discharge temperature and the preset discharge temperature.

[0093] Step S203: When the current discharge temperature decreases to below the second preset discharge temperature and lasts for more than a preset time, the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve are closed.

[0094] The exhaust temperature can be reduced by the above method. When the sensor detects that Td<90℃ (i.e. the current exhaust temperature is reduced to below the second preset exhaust temperature) and the duration exceeds t2, the economizer auxiliary path is closed / the electromagnetic valve is closed, and the system adjusts the exhaust temperature according to the conventional control. The first preset exhaust temperature, the second preset exhaust temperature, and the corresponding relationship between the temperature difference between the current exhaust temperature and the preset exhaust temperature and the adjustment rate of the expansion valve can be adjusted according to actual conditions, and the present embodiment is not limited in this regard.

[0095] The present embodiment detects the exhaust temperature, adjusts the expansion valve according to the difference between the exhaust temperature and the preset exhaust temperature when the exhaust temperature is high, reduces the exhaust temperature, and then closes the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve after the exhaust temperature is reduced. The above method can effectively reduce the exhaust temperature, keep the motor efficiency and winding temperature of the compressor within a normal range, and prolong the service life.

[0096] In addition, the present embodiment also provides a storage medium, and the storage medium stores a multi-split air conditioning system control program. The multi-split air conditioning system control program is executed by a processor to implement the steps of the multi-split air conditioning system control method described above.

[0097] Since the storage medium adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0098] Referring to ​ , ​ is a structural block diagram of a first embodiment of the multi-split air conditioning system control device of the present application.

[0099] As ​ shown, the multi-split air conditioning system control device provided by the present embodiment comprises:

[0100] The detection module 10 is configured to determine the current energy demand of the multi-split air conditioning system according to the operating state of each indoor unit.

[0101] It should be noted that the existing multi-split air conditioning system capacity matching method: one multi-split indoor unit, over-capacity, using a jet enthalpy compressor to meet the capacity demand, using a large displacement compressor to meet the capacity demand, using an excess heat exchanger to meet the capacity demand, the shortcomings of the existing multi-split air conditioning system capacity matching method: over-capacity, easy to appear poor refrigeration and heating, seriously affect the user's feeling, non-jet enthalpy cannot completely meet the capacity demand in severe environment such as ultra-low temperature and ultra-high temperature, when the capacity demand is small, the compressor "big horse pulls small car", resulting in high power consumption; and large displacement compressor is prone to abnormal noise and vibration when running at low frequency, affecting the service life of the compressor, the heat exchanger volume / volume is too large, limited by the body space / user installation space, and the cost is high, the corresponding exhaust temperature and winding temperature are high when the compressor runs at high frequency, affecting the service life of the compressor.

[0102] In this embodiment, in order to solve the above technical problems, a multi-split air conditioning system structure is first proposed, as shown in the specific structure of ​ Referring to ​ , the multi-split air conditioning system in this embodiment is composed of an economizer 1, an expansion valve 2, a solenoid valve 3, a first sensor 4, a second sensor 5, a compressor 6, a gas-liquid separator 7, an oil return capillary 8, an oil return hole 9, an oil separator 10, a four-way valve 11, an outdoor sensor 12, a direct current fan 13, a main electronic expansion valve 14, a filter 15, a refrigerant heat dissipation ring 16, a temperature-sensitive bag 17, a steam side pipe 18, and a liquid side pipe 19. The multi-split air conditioning system uses a small displacement non-jet enthalpy compressor, and can supplement air and increase enthalpy on the low pressure side of the multi-split air conditioning system through the economizer auxiliary road. The small displacement compressor meets the low frequency output of the multi-split small indoor unit with low capacity demand, saves energy and is efficient, and at the same time, through the low pressure side air supplement and enthalpy increase, it meets the high frequency output of the high capacity demand in the over-capacity and severe environment. It should be noted that the small displacement compressor can also solve the problem of abnormal noise and vibration when running at low frequency. The economizer auxiliary road supplements air and increases enthalpy on the low pressure side of the system, realizes two-stage compression of the non-jet enthalpy compressor, not only saves energy and is efficient; at the same time, it can effectively reduce the exhaust temperature, so that the motor efficiency and winding temperature of the compressor remain within the normal range, prolonging the service life.

[0103] In specific implementation, in this embodiment, it is necessary to first distinguish according to the number of indoor and outdoor units of the multi-split system, that is, to determine the current capacity demand of the multi-split air conditioning system according to the running state of each indoor unit. The more the number of indoor units turned on, the larger the corresponding number of units, and the higher the capacity demand of the multi-split air conditioning system. The specific capacity demand judgment method can also adopt other ways, which are not limited in this embodiment.

[0104] The judgment module 20 is used to determine the capacity demand stage where the current capacity demand is located.

[0105] In a specific implementation, after determining the current energy demand of the multi-split air conditioning system, the embodiment further determines the energy demand stage corresponding to the current energy demand. Specifically, the embodiment can compare the current energy demand with a plurality of energy demand stages set in advance to determine the energy demand stage corresponding to the current energy demand. The energy demand stages set in advance in the embodiment can refer to FIG. 2. ​ As shown in FIG. 2, the energy demand stage can be divided into a high energy demand stage of 90% to 130%, a medium energy demand stage of 50% to 90%, a low energy demand stage of 20% to 50%, and a small energy demand stage (min energy demand stage) of 20% or less. The specific setting of the energy demand stage can also be adjusted according to the actual situation, which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0106] The adjustment module 30 is configured to adjust the frequency of the compressor, the switching state of the electromagnetic valve, and the opening degree of the expansion valve according to the energy demand stage.

[0107] In a specific implementation, the adjustment strategies adopted in the embodiment for different energy demand stages are different, and the adjustment is performed according to the adjustment strategy corresponding to each different energy demand stage. The adjustment includes the frequency of the compressor, the switching state of the electromagnetic valve, and the opening degree of the expansion valve. It should be further emphasized that the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve are opened or closed in linkage in the embodiment, and the opening degree of the expansion valve needs to be further adjusted after the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve are opened at the same time. The adjustment manner can further refer to FIG. 3. ​ For example, for the adjustment of the frequency of the compressor, when the energy demand stage is the high energy demand stage, the adjustment rate of the frequency of the compressor is 4 Hz / 5 s, when the energy demand stage is the medium energy demand stage, the adjustment rate of the frequency of the compressor is 3 Hz / 5 s, when the energy demand stage is the low energy demand stage, the adjustment rate of the frequency of the compressor is 2 Hz / 5 s, and when the energy demand stage is the small energy demand stage, the adjustment rate of the frequency of the compressor is 1 Hz / 5 s. For the adjustment of the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve, for example, when the energy demand stage is the high energy demand stage, the multi-split air conditioning system opens the air supplement and enthalpy increase, and the economizer auxiliary road is opened. The electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve of the economizer auxiliary road are opened or closed in linkage. At this time, the expansion valve and the electromagnetic valve of the economizer auxiliary road are opened at the same time. For example, when the energy demand stage is the low energy demand stage, the multi-split air conditioning system does not open the air supplement and enthalpy increase, and the economizer auxiliary road is closed. At this time, the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve are not opened. The above adjustment manner is only for illustration, and the adjustment can be adjusted according to the actual situation in the actual situation, which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0108] The embodiment determines the current energy demand of the multi-split air conditioning system according to the operating state of each indoor unit, determines the energy demand stage in which the current energy demand is located, and adjusts the frequency of the compressor, the switch state of the electromagnetic valve and the opening degree of the expansion valve according to the energy demand stage, so that the compressor and the electromagnetic valve and the expansion valve connected with the economizer can be adjusted according to the energy demand of the multi-split air conditioner system, the phenomenon of poor refrigeration and heating when the energy demand is over-provisioned is avoided, and the small displacement non-injection compressor is used, the low pressure side of the multi-split air conditioner system can be supplemented and the enthalpy of the economizer auxiliary road is increased, the energy efficiency of the unit is improved, and the power loss is avoided.
