Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of air conditioners, and more particularly, to a control method for preventing misconnection and reverse installation of dual compressors in a multi-connected outdoor unit and a multi-connected air conditioner system. Background Art

[0002] In a dual-compressor system of a multi-connected air conditioner outdoor unit, for some models, considering economic factors, two different types of compressors are used (see the schematic diagram in the attached drawings). For example, two compressors with different displacements of 70 and 45 are connected in parallel, and the drive boards for different compressors are different. Considering generality, the different compressors, their drive board installation methods, and installation dimensions are the same. During the production process, situations may occur where the drive board is installed in the reverse position, the wiring between the drive board and the compressor is reversed, or the compressor is installed in the reverse position. When such reverse installation occurs during production or after-sales maintenance, the whole machine will not operate normally and may even cause damage to the machine. Currently, to prevent reverse installation, each manufacturer generally relies on manual control, which has an uncontrolled risk.

[0003] In view of this, the present invention is specifically proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a control method for preventing misconnection and reverse installation of dual compressors in a multi-connected outdoor unit and a multi-connected air conditioner system, so as to solve the problems in the prior art that in a dual-compressor system of a multi-connected air conditioner outdoor unit, during the production process and after-sales maintenance, situations may occur where the drive board is installed in the reverse position, the wiring between the drive board and the compressor is reversed, or the compressor is installed in the reverse position, resulting in the whole machine being unable to operate normally and even causing damage to the machine.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is realized as follows:

[0006] A control method for preventing misconnection and reverse installation of dual compressors in a multi-connected outdoor unit, the control method for preventing misconnection and reverse installation of dual compressors in a multi-connected outdoor unit includes the following steps:

[0007] S1. Power on the multi-connected outdoor unit;

[0008] S2. Check the model of the drive board of the multi-connected outdoor unit, and determine whether the drive board model check is passed. If so, go to step S3; if not, go to step S6;

[0009] S3. Check the wiring between the drive and the compressor of the multi-connected outdoor unit, and determine whether the drive-compressor wiring check is passed. If so, go to step S4; if not, go to step S6;

[0010] S4. Check the position of the compressor of the multi-connected outdoor unit, and determine whether the compressor position check is passed. If so, go to step S5; if not, go to step S6;

[0011] S5. The installation of the dual compressors in the multi-connected outdoor unit is normal;

[0012] S6. The dual compressors of the multi-connected outdoor unit are installed incorrectly or in reverse.

[0013] For the control method for preventing incorrect or reverse installation of the dual compressors of the multi-connected outdoor unit according to the present invention, steps S1 to S6 are interrelated and inseparable. Through the operation of steps S1 to S6, the program of the multi-connected outdoor unit can automatically perform three-level checks, namely, the drive board model check in step S2, the drive-compressor wiring check in step S3, and the compressor position check in step S4, enabling the multi-connected outdoor unit to pre-identify assembly errors accurately in advance, thereby being able to pre-identify risks and protect the unit from shutting down, and further avoiding component damage caused by abnormal operation of the machine after reverse installation.

[0014] Further, step S2 includes the following steps:

[0015] S21. The main control board obtains the model information sent by the first drive board and the second drive board;

[0016] S22. The main control board determines whether the preset first drive board model information is consistent with the model information sent by the first drive board. If so, it proceeds to step S23; if not, it proceeds to step S6;

[0017] S23. The main control board determines whether the preset second drive board model information is consistent with the model information sent by the second drive board. If so, it proceeds to step S3; if not, it proceeds to step S6.

[0018] Steps S21 to S23 are interrelated and inseparable. By detecting and determining whether the preset first drive board model information is consistent with the model information sent by the first drive board in step S22, it is convenient to determine whether the first drive board is installed in reverse; by detecting and determining whether the preset second drive board model information is consistent with the model information sent by the second drive board in step S23, it is convenient to determine whether the second drive board is installed in reverse; if the preset first drive board model information is consistent with the model information sent by the first drive board, it indicates that the check passes and the position of the first drive board is not installed in reverse; if the preset first drive board model information is inconsistent with the model information sent by the first drive board, it indicates that the drive board model check fails and the first drive board is installed in reverse, and it proceeds to step S6 for incorrect or reverse installation of the dual compressors of the multi-connected outdoor unit, and the main control board reports a drive board matching failure; if the preset second drive board model information is consistent with the model information sent by the second drive board, it indicates that the check passes and the position of the second drive board is not installed in reverse; if the preset second drive board model information is inconsistent with the model information sent by the second drive board, it indicates that the drive board model check fails and the second drive board is installed in reverse, and it proceeds to step S6 for incorrect or reverse installation of the dual compressors of the multi-connected outdoor unit, and the main control board reports a drive board matching failure.

[0019] Further, step S2 includes the following steps:

[0020] S21. The main control board obtains the model information sent by the first drive board and the second drive board;

[0021] S22. The main control board determines whether the preset second drive board model information is consistent with the model information sent by the second drive board. If so, it enters step S23; if not, it enters step S6;

[0022] S23. The main control board determines whether the preset first drive board model information is consistent with the model information sent by the first drive board. If so, it enters step S3; if not, it enters step S6.

[0023] Steps S21 - S23 are interrelated and inseparable. By step S22, it is detected and judged whether the preset second drive board model information is consistent with the model information sent by the second drive board, which is convenient for judging whether the second drive board is installed reversely; by step S23, it is detected and judged whether the preset first drive board model information is consistent with the model information sent by the first drive board, which is convenient for judging whether the first drive board is installed reversely; if the preset first drive board model information is consistent with the model information sent by the first drive board, it indicates that the verification is passed and the position of the first drive board is not installed reversely; if the preset first drive board model information is inconsistent with the model information sent by the first drive board, it indicates that the drive board model verification fails, the position of the first drive board is installed reversely, and it enters step S6 where the multi-connected outdoor unit with double compressors is installed wrongly and reversely, and the main control board reports a drive board matching fault; if the preset second drive board model information is consistent with the model information sent by the second drive board, it indicates that the verification is passed and the position of the second drive board is not installed reversely; if the preset second drive board model information is inconsistent with the model information sent by the second drive board, it indicates that the drive board model verification fails, the position of the second drive board is installed reversely, and it enters step S6 where the multi-connected outdoor unit with double compressors is installed wrongly and reversely, and the main control board reports a drive board matching fault.

[0024] Further, step S3 includes the following steps:

[0025] S31. The main control board obtains the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the left 左排气0 and the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the right 右排气0 ;

[0026] S32. Start the first compressor. The correct installation position of the first compressor is on the left, and the second compressor remains in the stopped state;

[0027] S33. After the first compressor starts and runs for time t1, the main control board obtains the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the left 左排气1 and the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the right 右排气1 ;

[0028] S34. The main control board determines whether T 左排气1 < T 左排气0+A or T 右排气1 >T 右排气0 +B, where A is the first preset constant and B is the second preset constant. If so, go to step S6; if not, go to step S4.

[0029] Steps S31 to S34 are interrelated and inseparable. Through steps S31 to S34, the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the left side, 左排气0 the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the right side, 右排气0 the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the left side after the first compressor has started running for time t1, 左排气1 the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the right side, 右排气1 is detected, so as to judge whether T 左排气1 <T 左排气0 +A or T 右排气1 >T 右排气0 +B. If T 左排气1 <T 左排气0 +A, it indicates that after the first compressor starts, the exhaust temperature of the compressor installed on the left side has no obvious change, which means that the drive-compressor wiring check fails and the drive-compressor wiring is incorrect. Go to step S6 for misinstallation or reverse installation of the dual compressors of the multi-connected outdoor unit, and the main control board reports a drive-compressor wiring fault; if T 右排气1 >T 右排气0 +B, it indicates that after the first compressor starts, the exhaust temperature of the compressor installed on the right side has a significant increase, which means that the drive-compressor wiring check fails and the drive-compressor wiring is incorrect. Go to step S6 for misinstallation or reverse installation of the dual compressors of the multi-connected outdoor unit, and the main control board reports a drive-compressor wiring fault.

[0030] Furthermore, step S3 includes the following steps:

[0031] S31. The main control board obtains the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the left side, 左排气0 the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the right side; 右排气0 ;

[0032] S32. Start the second compressor. The correct installation position of the second compressor is on the right side, and the first compressor remains in the stopped state;

[0033] S33. After the second compressor has started running for time t1, the main control board obtains the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the left side, 左排气2 the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the right side; 右排气2 ;

[0034] S34. The main control board judges whether T 右排气2 <T 右排气0 +A or T 左排气2 >T 左排气0+B, where A is the first preset constant and B is the second preset constant. If so, go to step S6; if not, go to step S4.

[0035] Steps S31 to S34 are interrelated and inseparable. Through steps S31 to S34, the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the left 左排气0 and the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the right 右排气0 , the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the left after the second compressor has started running for time t1 左排气2 and the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the right 右排气2 are detected, so as to judge whether T 右排气2 <T 右排气0 +A or T 左排气2 >T 左排气0 +B through step S34. If T 右排气2 <T 右排气0 +A, it indicates that after the second compressor starts, the exhaust temperature of the compressor installed on the right does not change significantly, which means that the drive-compressor wiring check fails and the drive-compressor wiring is incorrect. Go to step S6 for the multi-connected outdoor unit with dual compressors installed wrongly in reverse, and the main control board reports a drive-compressor wiring fault; if T 左排气2 >T 左排气0 +B, it indicates that after the second compressor starts, the exhaust temperature of the compressor installed on the left has increased significantly, which means that the drive-compressor wiring check fails and the drive-compressor wiring is incorrect. Go to step S6 for the multi-connected outdoor unit with dual compressors installed wrongly in reverse, and the main control board reports a drive-compressor wiring fault.

[0036] Furthermore, step S4 includes the following steps:

[0037] S41. Start the first compressor and the second compressor simultaneously;

[0038] S42. The main control board obtains the currents I 第一压缩机 、I 第二压缩机 of the dual compressors, the suction pressure, and the discharge pressure in real time. Both the first compressor and the second compressor are increased to frequency f and maintained for time t2;

[0039] S43. The main control board obtains the preset first compressor coefficient, the preset second compressor coefficient, the current suction saturation temperature Tev, and the discharge saturation temperature Tcd.

[0040] S44. Calculate the current theoretical current value I 第一压缩机理论 of the first compressor and the current theoretical current value I 第二压缩机理论 of the second compressor;

[0041] S45. Judge whether I 第一压缩机理论 *C ≤ I 第一压缩机 ≤ I第一压缩机理论 *D, where C is the first preset coefficient and D is the second preset coefficient. If so, proceed to step S46; if not, proceed to step S6.

[0042] S46. Determine whether I 第二压缩机理论 *C ≤ I 第二压缩机 ≤ I 第二压缩机理论 *D. If so, proceed to step S5; if not, proceed to step S6.

[0043] Steps S41 to S46 are interrelated and inseparable. Through steps S41 to S44, the current I of the first compressor 第一压缩机 , the current I of the second compressor 第二压缩机 , the first compressor, and the second compressor are all frequency - increased to frequency f and maintained for t2 time, and then the current theoretical current value I of the first compressor 第一压缩机理论 , the current theoretical current value I of the second compressor 第二压缩机理论 are detected and calculated, so as to determine whether I 第一压缩机理论

[0044] *C ≤ I 第一压缩机 ≤ I 第一压缩机理论 *D. When I 第一压缩机理论 *C ≤ I 第一压缩机 ≤ I 第一压缩机理论 *D, it indicates that the first compressor is matched with the drive and the position of the first compressor is not installed backwards; otherwise, it indicates that the compressor position check fails, the first compressor is mismatched with the drive, the position of the first compressor is installed backwards, and proceed to step S6. If the multi - connected outdoor unit has a double - compressor installation error, the main control board reports a compressor matching fault. Determine whether I 第二压缩机理论 *C ≤ I 第二压缩机 ≤ I 第二压缩机理论 *D. When I 第二压缩机理论 *C ≤ I 第二压缩机 ≤ I 第二压缩机理论 *D, it indicates that the second compressor is matched with the drive and the position of the second compressor is not installed backwards; otherwise, it indicates that the compressor position check fails, the second compressor is mismatched with the drive, the position of the second compressor is installed backwards, and proceed to step S6. If the multi - connected outdoor unit has a double - compressor installation error, the main control board reports a compressor matching fault.

[0045] Furthermore, step S4 includes the following steps:

[0046] S41. Start the first compressor and the second compressor simultaneously;

[0047] S42. The main control board obtains the currents I of the double compressors in real - time 第一压缩机 , I 第二压缩机 , the suction pressure, the discharge pressure, and the first compressor and the second compressor are both frequency - increased to frequency f and maintained for t2 time;

[0048] S43. The main control board obtains the preset first compressor coefficient and the preset second compressor coefficient, and obtains the current suction saturation temperature Tev and the discharge saturation temperature Tcd.

[0049] S44. Calculate the current theoretical current value I of the first compressor 第一压缩机理论 and the current theoretical current value I of the second compressor 第二压缩机理论 ;

[0050] S45. Determine whether I 第二压缩机理论 * C ≤ I 第二压缩机 ≤ I 第二压缩机理论 ≤ I * D, where C is the first preset coefficient and D is the second preset coefficient. If so, go to step S46; if not, go to step S6.

[0051] S46. Determine whether I 第一压缩机理论 * C ≤ I 第一压缩机 ≤ I 第一压缩机理论 ≤ I * D. If so, go to step S5; if not, go to step S6.

[0052] Steps S41 to S46 are interrelated and inseparable. Through steps S41 to S44, the current I of the first compressor 第一压缩机 and the current I of the second compressor 第二压缩机 , the first compressor and the second compressor are both up - frequencyed to the frequency f and maintained for t2 time, and then the current theoretical current value I of the first compressor 第一压缩机理论 and the current theoretical current value I of the second compressor 第二压缩机理论 are detected and calculated, so as to determine whether I 第二压缩机理论

[0053] * C ≤ I 第二压缩机 ≤ I 第二压缩机理论 ≤ I * D. When I 第二压缩机理论 * C ≤ I 第二压缩机 ≤ I 第二压缩机理论 ≤ I * D, it indicates that the second compressor is matched with the drive and the position of the second compressor is not installed backwards; otherwise, it indicates that the compressor position check fails, the second compressor is mismatched with the drive, the position of the second compressor is installed backwards, and go to step S6. If the multi - connected outdoor unit with double compressors is installed wrongly, the main control board reports a compressor matching fault; so as to determine whether I 第一压缩机理论 * C ≤ I 第一压缩机 ≤ I 第一压缩机理论 ≤ I * D. When I 第一压缩机理论 * C ≤ I 第一压缩机 ≤ I 第一压缩机理论When it is *D, it indicates that the matching between the first compressor and the drive is passed, and the position of the first compressor is not installed in reverse; otherwise, it indicates that the position check of the compressor fails, the matching between the first compressor and the drive is incorrect, the position of the first compressor is installed in reverse, and enter step S6 where the multi-connected outdoor unit with dual compressors is installed incorrectly or in reverse, then the main control board reports a compressor matching fault.

[0054] Further, in step S44, the current theoretical current value I of the first compressor 第一压缩机理论 and the current theoretical current value I of the second compressor 第二压缩机理论 are calculated as follows:

[0055] I 第一压缩机理论 = A0 + A1Tev + A2Tcd + A3Tev 2 + A4TevTcd + A5Tcd 2 + A6Tev 3 + A7TcdTev 2 + A8TevTcd 2 + A9Tcd 3 ,

[0056] where A0 to A9 are the ten coefficients corresponding to the first compressor at frequency f;

[0057] I 第二压缩机理论 = B0 + B1Tev + B2Tcd + B3Tev 2 + B4TevTcd + B5Tcd 2 + B6Tev 3 +

[0058] B7TcdTev 2 + B8TevTcd 2 + B9Tcd 3 ,

[0059] where B0 to B9 are the ten coefficients corresponding to the second compressor at frequency f.

[0060] Further, in step S6, if the drive board model check fails, the main control board reports a drive board matching fault; if the drive-compressor wiring check fails, the main control board reports a drive-compressor wiring fault; if the compressor position check fails, the main control board reports a compressor matching fault.

[0061] This setting is convenient for reminding users or maintenance staff of the specific type of fault in the incorrect or reverse installation of the multi-connected outdoor unit with dual compressors, facilitating repair according to different fault situations and improving work efficiency.

[0062] In a second aspect of the present invention, a multi-connected air conditioner system is provided. The multi-connected air conditioner system includes an outdoor unit and indoor units.

[0101] Steps S21 to S23 are interrelated and inseparable. By step S22, it is detected and determined whether the preset model information of the first drive board 21 is consistent with the model information sent by the first drive board 21, which is convenient for judging whether the first drive board 21 is installed in reverse; by step S23, it is detected and determined whether the preset model information of the second drive board 22 is consistent with the model information sent by the second drive board 22, which is convenient for judging whether the second drive board 22 is installed in reverse; if the preset model information of the first drive board 21 is consistent with the model information sent by the first drive board 21, it indicates that the verification is passed and the position of the first drive board 21 is not installed in reverse; if the preset model information of the first drive board 21 is inconsistent with the model information sent by the first drive board 21, it indicates that the verification fails and the position of the first drive board 21 is installed in reverse.

Then it proceeds to step S6 where the multi-connected outdoor unit's dual compressors are installed incorrectly or in reverse, and the main control board 1 reports a drive board matching failure.

[0102] Or, step S2 includes the following steps:

[0106] Steps S21 - S23 are interrelated and inseparable. By detecting and judging in step S22 whether the preset model information of the second drive board 22 is consistent with the model information sent by the second drive board 22, it is convenient to judge whether the second drive board 22 is installed backwards; by detecting and judging in step S23 whether the preset model information of the first drive board 21 is consistent with the model information sent by the first drive board 21, it is convenient to judge whether the first drive board 21 is installed backwards; if the preset model information of the first drive board 21 is consistent with the model information sent by the first drive board 21, it indicates that the verification is passed and the position of the first drive board 21 is not installed backwards; if the preset model information of the first drive board 21 is inconsistent with the model information sent by the first drive board 21, it indicates that the verification fails and the position of the first drive board 21 is installed backwards, and then enter step S6 where the multi-connected outdoor unit's dual compressors are installed wrongly or backwards, and the main control board 1 reports a drive board matching fault; if the preset model information of the second drive board 22 is consistent with the model information sent by the second drive board 22, it indicates that the verification is passed and the position of the second drive board 22 is not installed backwards; if the preset model information of the second drive board 22 is inconsistent with the model information sent by the second drive board 22, it indicates that the verification fails and the position of the second drive board 22 is installed backwards, and then enter step S6 where the multi-connected outdoor unit's dual compressors are installed wrongly or backwards, and the main control board 1 reports a drive board matching fault.

[0107] Specifically, step S3 includes the following steps:

[0108] S31. The main control board 1 obtains the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the left 左排气0 and the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the right 右排气0 .

[0109] S32. Start the first compressor 31. The correct installation position of the first compressor 31 is on the left, and the second compressor 32 remains in the stopped state.

[0110] S33. After the first compressor 31 starts and runs for a time t1, the main control board 1 obtains the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the left 左排气1 and the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the right 右排气1 .

[0111] S34. The main control board 1 judges whether T 左排气1 < T 左排气0 + A or T 右排气1 > T 右排气0 + B, where A is the first preset constant and B is the second preset constant. If so, enter step S6; if not, enter step S4.

[0112] Steps S31 - S34 are interrelated and inseparable. By steps S31 - S34, for the exhaust temperature T of the compressor installed on the left 左排气0, the exhaust gas temperature T of the compressor installed on the right 右排气0 , the exhaust gas temperature T of the compressor installed on the left after the first compressor 31 starts running for time t1 左排气1 , the exhaust gas temperature T of the compressor installed on the right 右排气1 is detected to facilitate determining whether T 左排气1 < T 左排气0 + A or T 右排气1 > T 右排气0 + B. If T 左排气1 < T 左排气0 + A, it indicates that after the first compressor 31 starts, the exhaust gas temperature of the compressor installed on the left has no obvious change, which means the drive-compressor wiring is incorrect. Then enter step S6 for the wrong installation of the dual compressors in the multi-connected outdoor unit, and the main control board 1 reports a drive-compressor wiring fault; if T 右排气1 > T 右排气0 + B, it indicates that after the first compressor 31 starts, the exhaust gas temperature of the compressor installed on the right has a significant increase, which means the drive-compressor wiring is incorrect. Then enter step S6 for the wrong installation of the dual compressors in the multi-connected outdoor unit, and the main control board 1 reports a drive-compressor wiring fault;.

[0113] Or, step S3 includes the following steps:

If T 右排气2 < T 右排气0 + A, it indicates that after the second compressor 32 starts, the exhaust gas temperature of the compressor installed on the right has no obvious change, which means that the drive-compressor wiring is incorrect. Then enter step S6 for the wrong installation of the dual compressors of the multi-connected outdoor unit, and the main control board 1 reports a drive-compressor wiring fault; if T 左排气2 > T 左排气0 + B, it indicates that after the second compressor 32 starts, the exhaust gas temperature of the compressor installed on the left has a significant increase, which means that the drive-compressor wiring is incorrect. Then enter step S6 for the wrong installation of the dual compressors of the multi-connected outdoor unit, and the main control board 1 reports a drive-compressor wiring fault.

[0119] Among them, the exhaust gas temperature of the compressor installed on the left is obtained through the left compressor exhaust gas temperature sensor 41, and the exhaust gas temperature of the compressor installed on the right is obtained through the right compressor exhaust gas temperature sensor 42.

[0120] Among them, the value ranges of t1, A, and B are not specifically limited. A is the first preset constant, B is the second preset constant, and A and B are stored in the main control board 1 in advance.

[0121] Specifically, the value range of t1 is 2 - 5 min, and t1 can take any value within 2 - 5 min; the value of t1 can be 2 min, the value of t1 can also be 3 min, and the value of t1 can also be 5 min;

[0122] The value range of A is 2 - 5; the first preset constant A can take any value within 2 - 5; the value of A can be 2, the value of A can be 3, the value of A can also be 5, and the value of A can also be 5;

[0124] More specifically, in this embodiment, the value of t1 is 3 min, the value range of A is 3; the value range of B is 5.

[0125] Specifically, step S4 includes the following steps:

[0126] S41. Start the first compressor 31 and the second compressor 32 simultaneously;

[0127] S42. The main control board 1 obtains the currents I of the two compressors in real time 第一压缩机 、I 第二压缩机 、the suction pressure, the discharge pressure, and both the first compressor 31 and the second compressor 32 are increased to the frequency f and maintained for the time t2;

[0130] S45. Judge whether I 第一压缩机理论 *C ≤ I 第一压缩机 ≤ I 第一压缩机理论 *D, where C is the first preset coefficient and D is the second preset coefficient. If so, go to step S46; if not, go to step S6,

[0131] S46. Judge whether I 第二压缩机理论 *C ≤ I 第二压缩机 ≤ I 第二压缩机理论 *D. If so, go to step S5; if not, go to step S6.

[0132] Steps S41 to S46 are interrelated and inseparable. Through steps S41 to S44, the current I of the first compressor 31 第一压缩机 、the current I of the second compressor 32 第二压缩机 、the current theoretical current value I of the first compressor 31 after both the first compressor 31 and the second compressor 32 are increased to the frequency f and maintained for the time t2 第一压缩机理论 、the current theoretical current value I of the second compressor 32 第二压缩机理论 are detected and calculated, so as to judge whether I 第一压缩机理论 *C ≤ I 第一压缩机 ≤ I 第一压缩机理论 *D through step S45. When I 第一压缩机理论 *C ≤ I 第一压缩机 ≤ I 第一压缩机理论 *D, it indicates that the matching between the first compressor 31 and the drive passes, and the position of the first compressor 31 is not installed reversely; otherwise, it indicates that the matching between the first compressor 31 and the drive is incorrect, the position of the first compressor 31 is installed reversely, and go to step S6 for the multi-connected outdoor unit with the two compressors installed wrongly or reversely, then the main control board 1 reports a compressor matching fault; judge whether I 第二压缩机理论 *C ≤ I 第二压缩机 ≤ I 第二压缩机理论 *D through step S46. When I第二压缩机理论 *C ≤ I 第二压缩机 ≤ I 第二压缩机理论 When it is *D, it indicates that the matching of the second compressor 32 with the drive is passed and the position of the second compressor 32 is not installed reversely; otherwise, it indicates that the matching of the second compressor 32 with the drive is incorrect, the position of the second compressor 32 is installed reversely, enter step S6 for the wrong or reverse installation of the dual compressors of the multi-connected outdoor unit, and the main control board 1 reports a compressor matching fault.

[0133] Or, step S4 includes the following steps:

[0134] S41. Start the first compressor 31 and the second compressor 32 simultaneously;

[0135] S42. The main control board 1 obtains the current I of the dual compressors in real time 第一压缩机 、I 第二压缩机 、the suction pressure, the discharge pressure, both the first compressor 31 and the second compressor 32 are up-regulated to the frequency f and maintained for the time t2;

[0136] S43. The main control board 1 obtains the preset coefficient of the first compressor 31, the preset coefficient of the second compressor 32, obtains the current suction saturation temperature Tev and the discharge saturation temperature Tcd,

[0138] S45. Judge whether I 第二压缩机理论 *C ≤ I 第二压缩机 ≤ I 第二压缩机理论 *D, where C is the first preset coefficient and D is the second preset coefficient. If so, enter step S46; if not, enter step S6,

[0139] S46. Judge whether I 第一压缩机理论 *C ≤ I 第一压缩机 ≤ I 第一压缩机理论 *D. If so, enter step S5; if not, enter step S6.

[0140] Steps S41 to S46 are interrelated and inseparable. Through steps S41 to S44, the current I of the first compressor 31 第一压缩机 、the current I of the second compressor 32 第二压缩机 、the current theoretical current value I of the first compressor 31 after both the first compressor 31 and the second compressor 32 are up-regulated to the frequency f and maintained for the time t2 第一压缩机理论 、the current theoretical current value I of the second compressor 32 第二压缩机理论 are detected and calculated, so as to judge whether I 第二压缩机理论 *C ≤ I第二压缩机 ≤ I 第二压缩机理论 * D, when I 第二压缩机理论 * C ≤ I 第二压缩机 ≤ I 第二压缩机理论 * D, it indicates that the second compressor 32 is properly matched with the drive and the position of the second compressor 32 is not installed backwards; otherwise, it indicates that the second compressor 32 is mismatched with the drive and the position of the second compressor 32 is installed backwards. Enter step S6 for incorrect or reversed installation of the dual compressors in the multi-connected outdoor unit, and then the main control board 1 reports a compressor matching fault; it is convenient to determine whether I 第一压缩机理论 * C ≤ I 第一压缩机 ≤ I 第一压缩机理论 * D, when I 第一压缩机理论 * C ≤ I 第一压缩机 ≤ I 第一压缩机理论 * D, it indicates that the first compressor 31 is properly matched with the drive and the position of the first compressor 31 is not installed backwards; otherwise, it indicates that the first compressor 31 is mismatched with the drive and the position of the first compressor 31 is installed backwards. Enter step S6 for incorrect or reversed installation of the dual compressors in the multi-connected outdoor unit, and then the main control board 1 reports a compressor matching fault.

[0141] Among them, the current I of the dual compressors is detected in real time by the current detection device 第一压缩机 、I 第二压缩机 . The suction pressure of the dual compressors is detected by the suction pressure sensor, and the discharge pressure of the dual compressors is detected by the discharge pressure sensor.

[0142] The current suction saturation temperature Tev is obtained by converting the suction pressure; the discharge saturation temperature Tcd is obtained by converting the discharge pressure.

[0143] In the main control board 1, the conversion formula between the suction pressure and the suction saturation temperature Tev and the conversion formula between the discharge pressure and the discharge saturation temperature Tcd are stored in advance. Since both the conversion formula between the suction pressure and the suction saturation temperature Tev and the conversion formula between the discharge pressure and the discharge saturation temperature Tcd are existing technologies, they will not be elaborated here.

[0144] Among them, the coefficients of different compressors are different, and the theoretically calculated current values are also different. By comparing the measured current with the theoretically calculated current, it is judged whether the compressor is correct. The compressor ten coefficients are ten coefficients obtained by solving the test data of the compressor under specific conditions: at least ten groups of known data (according to the actual test data of the compressor) are required. Substitute the corresponding discharge saturation temperature and suction saturation temperature into the ten coefficient formula, and a system of equations can be established to obtain the ten coefficients.

[0145] The following briefly introduces the solution process of the compressor ten coefficients:

[0146] Compressor ten coefficient mathematical model:

[0147] X = C0 + C1Tev + C2Tcd + C3Tev 2 + C4TevTcd + C5Tcd 2 + C6Tev 3 + C7TcdTev 2 +

[0148] C8TevTcd 2 + C9Tcd 3 (1)

[0149] Equation (1) is a polynomial empirical model for calculating the ten coefficients of the compressor. Under standard conditions, the input power, mass flow rate, current, and energy efficiency ratio of the compressor can all be represented by this mathematical model. Among them: C0 to C9 represent ten coefficients. Tev and Tcd represent the suction saturation temperature and the discharge saturation temperature respectively, with the unit of ℉ (or °C). X can represent: input power, W (or KW); mass flow rate, Kg / s (or lbs / h); current, A; energy efficiency ratio, W / W (or Btu / (hw)). The units of each parameter in the formula depend on the units of the original data used to fit the formula.

[0150] Substituting ten sets of corresponding measured values of the discharge saturation temperature, suction saturation temperature, and X into Equation (1) can obtain the ten coefficients of the compressor.

[0151] Among them, X is the input power or mass flow rate or energy efficiency ratio of the compressor at a specific frequency f of the compressor in this embodiment.

[0152] Among them, the value ranges of the frequency f and t2 are not specifically limited.

[0153] Preferably, the value range of the frequency f is 30 - 60 Hz, and the frequency f can take any value within 30 - 60 Hz; the value of the frequency f can be 30 Hz, the value of the frequency f can also be 45 Hz, and the value of the frequency f can also be 60 Hz;

[0154] The value range of t2 is 3 - 10 min, and t2 can take any value within 3 - 10 min; the value of t2 can be 3 min, the value of t2 can also be 6 min, and the value of t2 can be 10 min.

[0155] More specifically, in this embodiment, the value of the frequency f is 50 Hz, and the value of t2 can be 9 min.

[0156] Specifically, in step S44, the calculation formula for the current theoretical values of the first compressor 31 and the second compressor 32 is as follows:

[0157] I 第一压缩机理论 = A0 + A1Tev + A2Tcd + A3Tev 2+A4TevTcd + A5Tcd 2 +A6Tev 3 +A7TcdTev 2 +A8TevTcd 2 +A9Tcd 3 ,

[0158] where A0 to A9 are the ten coefficients corresponding to the first compressor 31 at frequency f;

[0159] I 第二压缩机理论 = B0 + B1Tev + B2Tcd + B3Tev 2 + B4TevTcd + B5Tcd 2 + B6Tev 3 +

[0160] B7TcdTev 2 + B8TevTcd 2 + B9Tcd 3 ,

[0161] where B0 to B9 are the ten coefficients corresponding to the second compressor 32 at frequency f.

[0162] Specifically, in steps S45 and S46, C is the first preset coefficient, D is the second preset coefficient, and the value ranges of C and D are not specifically limited. C and D are stored in the main control board 1 in advance.

[0163] Preferably, the value range of C is 95% to 97%; the first preset coefficient C can take any value within 95% to 97%;

[0164] the value range of D is 103% to 105%, and the second preset coefficient D can take any value within 103% to 105%.

[0165] The polynomial empirical model is obtained through tests under specific conditions. The current maximum deviation of the calculation accuracy of this model is approximately 2.5%. To avoid misjudgment, generally, a deviation of ±3% or more is used for judgment.

[0166] This setting can avoid misjudgment and improve the judgment accuracy.

[0167] More specifically, in this embodiment, the value of C is 96%; the value of D is 104%.

[0168] Specifically, in step S6, if the drive board model check fails, the main control board 1 reports a drive board matching failure; if the drive-compressor wiring check fails, the main control board 1 reports a drive-compressor wiring failure; if the compressor position check fails, the main control board 1 reports a compressor matching failure.

[0169] This setting facilitates reminding the user or maintenance staff of the specific type of fault in the incorrect installation or reverse connection of the dual compressors in the multi-connected outdoor unit, facilitating repair according to different fault situations and improving work efficiency.

[0170] For the control method for preventing incorrect installation or reverse connection of the dual compressors in the multi-connected outdoor unit according to this embodiment, steps S1 to S6 are interrelated and inseparable. Through the operation of steps S1 to S6, the program of the multi-connected outdoor unit can automatically perform the verification of the drive board model in step S2, the verification of the drive-compressor wiring in step S3, and the verification of the compressor position in step S4, a total of three levels of verification, enabling the multi-connected outdoor unit to pre-identify assembly errors accurately, thereby being able to pre-identify risks and protect the unit from shutting down, and further being able to avoid component damage caused by abnormal operation of the machine after incorrect installation.
