For example, the smart home appliance can realize remote control and management of the smart home appliance by connecting electronic devices.

[0046] In combination Figure 1 , the air conditioning device comprises an outdoor heat exchange system and an indoor water circulation system. The outdoor heat exchange system comprises a compressor 11, a hot water tank 12, a first throttling element 13, an outdoor heat exchanger 14, an ejector 15, a cold water tank 16, and a liquid storage tank 17. The exhaust port of the compressor is connected to the first inlet of the hot water tank, the first outlet of the hot water tank 12 is connected to the first inlet of the ejector 15 through the first throttling element 13 and the outdoor heat exchanger 14. The outlet of the ejector 15 is connected to the first inlet of the cold water tank 16 and then connected to the inlet of the liquid storage tank 17, and the first outlet of the liquid storage tank 17 is connected to the return port of the compressor 1, thereby forming a refrigerant circulation loop. The liquid storage tank 17 comprises a second outlet, which is connected to the second inlet of the cold water tank through a pipeline and a second throttling element 18, and the second outlet of the cold water tank 16 and the second inlet of the ejector 15 are connected, thereby forming a cold water tank temperature adjustment bypass.

[0047] The indoor water circulation system comprises an indoor heat exchanger, which is connected to the cold water tank through a cold water pipeline to form a cold water circulation loop, and is connected to the hot water tank through a hot water pipeline to form a hot water circulation loop. The indoor heat exchanger 21 comprises one or more groups, and when the indoor heat exchanger comprises multiple groups, each group of heat exchangers is arranged in a different space in the room.

[0048] In combination Figure 2 As shown in the air conditioning device, when the air conditioning device operates in a refrigeration mode, the operation process of the outdoor heat exchange system is as follows: the refrigerant is discharged through the exhaust port of the compressor, flows through the hot water tank (in the refrigeration mode, the hot water circulation loop of the indoor heat exchange system is cut off, so the refrigerant basically does not exchange heat with the hot water tank). Then the refrigerant flows into the outdoor heat exchanger through the first throttling element for heat dissipation (at this time, the outdoor heat exchanger is a condenser), and then flows through the cold water tank for heat exchange after throttling by the ejector, and then flows into the liquid storage tank. Part of the refrigerant in the liquid storage tank flows through the cold water tank for heat exchange again under the condition that the second throttling element is opened and throttled, and then flows into the second inlet of the ejector for throttling and returns to the liquid storage tank (i.e. part of the refrigerant flows through the cold water tank temperature adjustment bypass). Part of the refrigerant in the liquid storage tank flows back to the compressor.

[0049] At the same time, the operation process of the indoor heat exchanger is as follows: the hot water circulation loop is cut off, and the cold water circulation loop is turned on. The cold water flows from the outlet of the cold water tank into the indoor heat exchanger and then flows back to the water inlet of the cold water tank through the pipeline.

[0050] In the refrigeration mode, the cold water tank temperature adjustment bypass is turned on, and the temperature of the refrigerant is further reduced to perform secondary cooling on the cold water of the cold water tank. Here, the cold water tank divides the inner cavity into two cavities by a partition, and the two cavities are communicated through a hole. Alternatively, the cold water tank includes two independent tank bodies, and the two tank bodies are communicated through a pipeline. The cold water tank temperature adjustment bypass and the refrigerant circulation loop flow through different cavities respectively, so that the water temperatures of the two cavities are different. In this way, the heat of the refrigerant is fully utilized, the cold water temperature is step-adjusted, and the indoor refrigeration capacity in the hot season is improved. In addition, due to the negative pressure effect inside the ejector, the refrigerant in the bypass is sucked into the ejector. That is, the power of the bypass refrigerant does not need to be provided by the compressor, and the load of the compressor is further reduced, and the energy efficiency of the air conditioning device is improved.

[0051] In combination Figure 3 As shown in the figure, when the air conditioning device operates in the heating mode, the operation process of the outdoor heat exchanger system is as follows: the refrigerant is discharged through the discharge port of the compressor, flows through the hot water tank for heat exchange. Then, the cooled refrigerant flows into the outdoor heat exchanger for heat absorption (at this time, the outdoor heat exchanger is an evaporator), and then flows through the cold water tank after being throttled by the ejector, and then flows into the liquid storage tank (in the heating mode, the cold water circulation loop of the indoor heat exchange system is cut off, so the refrigerant basically does not exchange heat with the cold water tank). The refrigerant in the liquid storage tank flows back to the compressor.

[0052] At the same time, the operation process of the indoor heat exchanger is as follows: the hot water circulation loop is turned on, and the cold water circulation loop is cut off. The hot water flows from the outlet of the hot water tank into the indoor heat exchanger, and then flows back to the hot water tank through the pipeline. In the heating mode, the cold water tank temperature adjustment bypass is cut off.

[0053] The air conditioning device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is adopted, the indoor water circulation system is connected to the cold water tank and the hot water tank of the outdoor heat exchange system through the cold water pipeline and the hot water pipeline respectively, to meet the needs of users for heating, cooling, dehumidification and the like. And the liquid storage tank and the ejector form a cold water tank temperature adjustment bypass. In this way, while the cold water tank temperature is adjusted by using the cold quantity of the refrigerant, the adjustment of different evaporation temperatures of the refrigerant is also realized. Thus, the whole system is more energy-saving and efficient.

[0054] Optionally, the cold water tank includes: a first cold water tank 161 and a second cold water tank 162.

[0055] The first cold water tank 161 is arranged in the pipeline between the outlet of the ejector 15 and the inlet of the liquid storage tank 17 in the refrigerant circulation loop. The second cold water tank 162 is arranged in the pipeline between the second outlet of the liquid storage tank 17 and the second inlet of the ejector 15 in the cold water tank temperature adjustment bypass. The first cold water tank and the second cold water tank are connected through the pipeline. The second cold water tank 162 is provided with a water outlet, and the first cold water tank 161 is provided with a water inlet.

[0056] Here, in order to better realize the step adjustment of the cold water temperature, two cold water tanks are arranged. The first cold water tank is arranged on the refrigerant circulation loop, and the second cold water tank is arranged on the cold water tank temperature adjustment bypass. In this way, the refrigerant flowing through the first cold water tank flows back to the liquid storage tank, and then the liquid refrigerant in the liquid storage tank is throttled by the second throttling device and exchanges heat with the second cold water tank. The water in the second cold water tank absorbs the cold energy of the refrigerant, so that the water temperature is reduced. The refrigerant flowing out of the second cold water tank mixes with the refrigerant at the first inlet of the ejector and then flows back to the liquid storage tank and then flows into the compressor. In this way, the water temperature of the second cold water tank is lower than that of the first cold water tank, thereby helping to meet the different refrigeration needs of users.

[0057] In addition, the first cold water tank and the second cold water tank are connected through the pipeline, and form a closed loop with the cold water pipeline and the indoor heat exchanger to realize cold water circulation. The second cold water tank is provided with a water outlet, and the first cold water tank is provided with a water inlet, that is, the cold water with lower temperature flows to the indoor heat exchanger for refrigeration and then flows back to the first cold water tank through the water inlet. In this way, the low-temperature water exchanges heat with the indoor environment, which helps to improve the refrigeration effect.

[0058] Optionally, each group of indoor heat exchangers includes a first indoor heat exchanger 211 and a second indoor heat exchanger 212, which are arranged in parallel.

[0059] The first end and the second end of the first indoor heat exchanger 211 are respectively provided with a first three-way valve 31 and a first stop valve 32 connected to the cold water pipeline. The first end and the second end of the second indoor heat exchanger 212 are respectively provided with a second three-way valve 33 and a second stop valve 34 connected to the hot water pipeline. One end of the first three-way valve 31 is connected between the second stop valve 34 and the first end of the second indoor heat exchanger 212, and one end of the second three-way valve 33 is connected between the first stop valve 32 and the second end of the first indoor heat exchanger 211.

[0060] Here, each group of indoor heat exchangers includes two indoor heat exchangers, and through the design of the three-way valve and the stop valve, the two indoor heat exchangers can be controlled to be evaporators and condensers respectively. In this way, the indoor air can be dehumidified and then heated, avoiding the influence of high humidity in winter on the sensible temperature of indoor heating. Or, when defrosting the outdoor heat exchanger in winter, indoor heating can still be ensured, that is, defrosting heating without stopping.

[0061] Optionally, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the cold water tank 16 and the hot water tank 12 is opposite to the flow direction of the water.

[0062] Here, the cold water tank 16 and the hot water tank 12 adopt the reverse circulation mode for heat exchange, so that the heat exchange effect is better. Among them, the cold water tank includes the first cold water tank and the second cold water tank described above. It can be understood that if the flow direction of the refrigerant in the water tank is the same as the flow direction of the water, the heat exchange efficiency is high at the initial stage of heat exchange. With the flow of the refrigerant and the water, the temperature difference between the two gradually decreases, resulting in a decrease in heat exchange efficiency, and even the heat exchange is basically zero. Therefore, the reverse circulation mode is more helpful to improve the heat exchange effect.

[0063] Optionally, in combination with Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioning device further comprises a waste heat recovery device 19. The waste heat recovery device 19 comprises a first refrigerant passage and a second refrigerant passage; the first refrigerant passage is connected to the pipeline between the hot water tank 12 and the first throttling element 13; and the second refrigerant passage is connected to the pipeline between the liquid storage tank 17 and the compressor 11.

[0064] Here, the refrigerant flowing back to the compressor from the liquid storage tank is preheated in the waste heat recovery device. That is, the high-temperature refrigerant flowing out of the compressor is used to preheat the low-temperature refrigerant flowing out of the liquid storage tank, so as to avoid the temperature of the gas flowing back to the compressor being too low. In this way, it is helpful to improve the energy efficiency of the compressor.

[0065] Optionally, the air conditioning device further comprises a first on-off valve 41 and a second on-off valve 42 arranged at the water outlet and the water inlet of the hot water tank 12; and a third on-off valve 43 and a fourth on-off valve 44 arranged at the water outlet and the water inlet of the cold water tank 16.

[0066] In this way, on the one hand, when the cold water circulation loop and / or the hot water circulation loop is cut off, the corresponding on-off valve can be controlled to cut off the water of the corresponding loop. Thus, the leakage of the pipeline is avoided, and the influence on the indoor wall and floor is avoided. On the other hand, the on-off valve can lead out a hot water / cold water branch to connect to the end device of the intelligent household appliance or other water-using device. Thus, the demand of the user for hot water / cold water in other aspects of life is met; such as water heaters, floor heating, etc. That is, the indoor water circulation system comprises the indoor heat exchanger and the end device of other water-using device.

[0067] Optionally, the cold water circulation loop and the hot water circulation loop are respectively provided with a cold water pump and a hot water pump.

[0068] In this way, the power source is provided for the cold water circulation and the hot water circulation.

[0069] In combination with Figure 5 As shown, the present disclosure provides a control method for an air conditioning device, comprising:

[0070] S101, the processor determines the target operation mode of the air conditioning device.

[0071] S102, the processor determines the operation parameters of the outdoor heat exchange system and the target state of the cold and hot water circulation loops according to the target operation mode.

[0072] S103, the processor controls the outdoor heat exchange system to execute the operation parameters and the cold and hot water circulation loops to execute the target state.

[0073] The operation parameters of the outdoor heat exchange system include the states of the first and second throttling elements.

[0074] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the target operation mode of the air conditioning device includes multiple modes, such as a refrigeration mode, a heating mode, a reheating dehumidification mode, and a non-stop defrosting mode. The target mode can be unique or not unique. For example, in winter, the heating mode can be synchronized with the reheating dehumidification mode or the non-stop defrosting mode. For example, in summer, the user needs hot water when bathing, at this time, the target mode also includes the heating mode. Here, the target operation mode of the air conditioning device can be determined by the user's demand for the smart home appliance. For example, the target temperature and operation mode of the smart home appliance are obtained, and the smart home appliance includes air conditioners, water heaters, floor heating devices, and other end devices connected to cold and hot water.

[0075] Further, based on the target operation mode, the operation parameters of the indoor water circulation system and the outdoor heat exchange system are determined. Specifically, the outdoor heat exchanger can be used as a heat balancer, and the state of the first throttling element can be adjusted to adjust the outdoor heat exchanger as a condenser or an evaporator. In addition, as described above, whether the cold water circulation loop is connected also determines the state of the cold water tank temperature adjustment bypass, that is, the state of the second throttling element. Therefore, the target operation mode determines the states of the first and second throttling elements in the outdoor heat exchange system. At the same time, the target operation mode also determines the connection state of the corresponding water circulation loop, and further affects the state of each control valve in the water circulation loop. Therefore, the target state of the cold and hot water circulation loops is determined by the target operation mode, including the connection state of the corresponding water circulation loop and the state of the control valve. Finally, the outdoor heat exchange system and the indoor water circulation system are controlled to execute the operation parameters.

[0076] The control method for the air conditioning device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is based on the target operation mode to control the operation parameters of the outdoor heat exchange system and the indoor water circulation system, so that the air conditioning device can meet the user's demand for heating, cooling, dehumidification, etc. And through the control of the first and second throttling elements of the outdoor heat exchange system, the entire system is more energy-saving and efficient.

[0077] Optionally, in the case where the target operation mode is unique, in step S102, the processor determines the operation parameters of the outdoor heat exchange system according to the target operation mode, including:

[0078] In a case where the target operation mode is the cooling mode, the processor determines that the first throttling element is in the fully open state and the second throttling element is in the throttling state.

[0079] In a case where the target operation mode is the heating mode, the processor determines that the first throttling element is in the throttling state and the second throttling element is in the closed state.

[0080] Here, the target operation mode is unique in that the states of each group of indoor heat exchangers are consistent, and the states of multiple groups of indoor heat exchangers are consistent when there are multiple groups of indoor heat exchangers. That is, the multiple indoor heat exchangers are all evaporators or the indoor heat exchangers are all condensers. Alternatively, the target operation mode is unique in that, in a case where the air conditioning device is connected to other terminal equipment, the cold and heat demands of the terminal equipment and the indoor heat exchangers are consistent.

[0081] The target operation mode is unique in that the air conditioning device operates in the cooling mode or the heating mode. Specifically, in the cooling mode, it is determined that the first throttling element is in the fully open state and the second throttling element is in the throttling state (i.e., the opening degree of the second throttling element is less than the maximum opening degree). This is because, in the cooling mode, the water in the hot water tank does not circulate, and therefore the hot water tank has a limited role as a condenser. Therefore, the outdoor heat exchanger needs to function as a condenser, i.e., the first throttling element is fully open and does not function as a throttling element. Further, in the cooling mode, the second throttling element is in the throttling state. The cold capacity of the refrigerant can be used to further reduce the water temperature of the cold water tank. In this way, the cooling energy efficiency of the air conditioning device is better.

[0082] Similarly, in the heating mode, it is determined that the first throttling element is in the throttling state and the second throttling element is in the closed state. Because the cold water circulation pipeline is not connected, the water in the cold water tank does not circulate, and therefore the second throttling element is closed. At the same time, the water in the cold water tank does not circulate, and the cold water tank has a limited role as an evaporator. Therefore, the first throttling element is in the throttling state so that the outdoor heat exchanger functions as an evaporator. Thus, the heating energy efficiency of the air conditioning device is improved to meet the user's demand.

[0083] Alternatively, in a case where the target operation mode is not unique, in step S102, the processor determines the operating parameters of the outdoor heat exchange system according to the target operation mode, including:

[0084] In a case where the target operation mode includes multiple modes and the multiple modes do not include the defrosting mode, the processor determines that the second throttling element is in the throttling state and the opening degree of the first throttling element according to the load.

[0085] In a case where the target operation mode includes the heating mode and the defrosting mode, the processor determines that the first throttling element is in the fully open state and the second throttling element is in the closed state.

[0086] Here, when the indoor heat exchanger is one group, the target operation mode not unique means that the cold and heat demands of the first and second heat exchangers of the group are different, i.e., one heat exchanger is an evaporator and the other is a condenser. When the indoor heat exchanger is multiple groups, the target operation mode not unique includes that the cold and heat demands of any group of the indoor heat exchangers are different, and also includes that the cold and heat demands of some or certain groups of the indoor heat exchangers are different from those of the other groups. As an example, the indoor heat exchanger includes three groups, and if the cold and heat demands of two heat exchangers in any group of the indoor heat exchangers are different, the target operation mode is not unique. Alternatively, if the cold demand exists in one or two groups of the indoor heat exchangers, and the heat demand exists in the other groups of the indoor heat exchangers, the target operation mode is also not unique.

[0087] Further, the combination of the multiple target operation modes includes refrigeration + heating, reheating dehumidification (including dehumidification + heating), reheating dehumidification + refrigeration, reheating dehumidification + heating, and defrosting without stopping + heating. Understandably, defrosting indicates that the outdoor heat exchanger is seriously frosted and iced, which generally occurs in the cold season. At this time, the indoor generally operates in the heating mode. Therefore, the defrosting without stopping mode is combined with the heating mode. When the target operation mode is not unique and does not include the defrosting mode, it indicates that the indoor heat exchanger has a cold and heat demand. That is, the cold water circulation loop and the hot water circulation loop are both turned on, and the second throttling element is necessarily in the throttling state when the cold water circulation loop is turned on. Whether the first throttling element is throttled determines whether the outdoor heat exchanger functions as an evaporator or a condenser. Which function the outdoor heat exchanger functions as depends on the size of the cold load and the heat load of the air conditioning device. Therefore, in this case, the opening degree of the first throttling element is determined according to the load.

[0088] In addition, when the target operation mode includes the heating mode and the defrosting without stopping mode, because the outdoor heat exchanger is frosted, the indoor heat exchanger should be a condenser to melt the frost layer. At this time, the first throttling element is in the fully open state. And because the cold water circulation loop does not work, the second throttling element is in the closed state.

[0089] Optionally, the processor determines the opening degree of the first throttling element according to the load, including:

[0090] In the case that the heat load is less than the cold load, the processor determines the opening degree of the first throttling element as the maximum opening degree.

[0091] In the case that the heat load is greater than the cold load, the processor determines the opening degree of the first throttling element as the target opening degree.

[0092] Wherein, the target opening degree is less than the maximum opening degree.

[0093] Here, when the heat load is greater than the cold load, it indicates that the heating demand of the condenser is greater than the refrigeration demand of the evaporator in the air conditioning device. Therefore, the first throttling element plays a throttling role (i.e., the opening of the first throttling element is less than the maximum opening), so that the outdoor heat exchanger acts as an evaporator. In this way, the balance of energy in the air conditioning device is ensured, i.e., the heating demand of the condenser is equal to the refrigeration demand of the evaporator.

[0094] Similarly, when the heat load is less than the cold load, it indicates that the heating demand of the condenser is less than the refrigeration demand of the evaporator in the air conditioning device. Therefore, the first throttling element does not play a throttling role (i.e., the opening of the first throttling element is maximum), so that the indoor heat exchanger acts as a condenser.

[0095] Optionally, S102, the processor determines the target state of the cold water circulation loop and the hot water circulation loop according to the target operating mode, including:

[0096] In the case where the target operating modes of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are the same, if the target operating mode is the refrigeration mode, the processor determines that the first three-way valve and the first stop valve of the cold water circulation loop are turned on, the second three-way valve of the hot water circulation loop is connected to both ends of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and turned on, and the second stop valve is cut off.

[0097] If the target operating mode is the heating mode, the processor determines that the second three-way valve and the second stop valve of the hot water circulation loop are turned on, the first three-way valve of the cold water circulation loop is connected to both ends of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and turned on, and the first stop valve is cut off.

[0098] Here, the target operating modes of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are the same, so the water circulation directions of the two are consistent. In the refrigeration mode, in combination with Figure 2 As shown in the refrigeration mode, the cold water flows out of the second water tank, flows into the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger through the first three-way valve (the second stop valve is cut off), and then the cold water of the first heat exchanger flows out through the first stop valve, and the refrigerant of the second heat exchanger flows to the first stop valve through the second three-way valve, and then flows out through the first stop valve. That is, the first three-way valve and the first stop valve of the cold water circulation loop are turned on, the second three-way valve of the hot water circulation loop is connected to both ends of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and turned on, and the second stop valve is cut off.

[0099] Similarly, in the heating mode, in combination with Figure 3 As shown in the heating mode, the hot water flows out of the hot water tank through the second three-way valve, flows into the first indoor heat exchanger and the second indoor heat exchanger, and the first stop valve is cut off. Then, the hot water of the second indoor heat exchanger flows back to the hot water tank through the second stop valve; at the same time, the hot water of the first indoor heat exchanger flows to the second stop valve through the first three-way valve, and then flows back to the hot water tank through the second stop valve. That is, the second three-way valve and the second stop valve of the hot water circulation loop are turned on, the first three-way valve of the cold water circulation loop is connected to both ends of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and turned on, and the first stop valve is cut off.

[0100] Further, it is necessary to point out that the air conditioning device comprises a first on-off valve and a second on-off valve arranged at the outlet and inlet of the hot water tank, and a third on-off valve and a fourth on-off valve arranged at the outlet and inlet of the cold water tank. The processor determines the target state of the cold water circulation loop and the hot water circulation loop according to the target operation mode, and further comprises: in the case where the target operation modes of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are the same, if the target operation mode is the cooling mode, the processor determines that the third on-off valve and the fourth on-off valve are turned on, and the first on-off valve and the second on-off valve are turned off. If the target operation mode is the heating mode, the processor determines that the first on-off valve and the second on-off valve are turned on, and the third on-off valve and the fourth on-off valve are turned off.

[0101] In the case where the indoor heat exchanger is multiple groups, the target operation modes of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are the same, including the target operation mode of a certain group of indoor heat exchangers being the cooling mode, and the target operation modes of the other groups of heat exchangers being the heating mode. The target state of the cold water circulation loop and the hot water circulation loop can be referred to the above-mentioned cooling mode and heating mode (see Figure 4 ).

[0102] Optionally, in the case where the air outlet of the air conditioner first flows through the first heat exchanger and then flows through the second heat exchanger S102, the processor determines the target state of the cold water circulation loop and the hot water circulation loop according to the target operation mode, including:

[0103] In the case where the target mode of the first heat exchanger is the dehumidification mode or the defrosting mode, and the target mode of the second heat exchanger is the heating mode, the processor determines that the first three-way valve of the cold water circulation loop connects the two ends of the first heat exchanger and the cold water pipeline, and the first on-off valve is turned on. The second three-way valve of the hot water circulation loop connects the two ends of the second heat exchanger and the hot water pipeline, and the second on-off valve is turned on.

[0104] Here, in the case where the target operation mode is the reheating dehumidification, based on the order in which the air outlet of the air conditioner flows through the heat exchangers, the first heat exchanger that flows first is determined to be in the dehumidification mode, and the second heat exchanger is in the heating mode. In this way, the air is first dehumidified and then heated before being blown out of the air conditioner. In order to meet the user's heating demand while dehumidifying. Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 , the end of the first three-way valve flowing to the second indoor heat exchanger is not turned on, and the first on-off valve is turned on. In this way, the cold water only flows through the first indoor heat exchanger. At the same time, the end of the second three-way valve flowing to the first indoor heat exchanger is not turned on, and the second on-off valve is turned on. In this way, the hot water only flows through the second indoor heat exchanger.

[0105] When the target operation mode is the non-stop defrosting + heating mode, the operating parameters of the indoor water circulation system are referred to the above-mentioned reheating dehumidification (see Figure 6 ); which will not be repeated here.

[0106] The above describes the case of one set of indoor heat exchangers. When there are multiple sets of indoor heat exchangers, if the target operating mode of one set of indoor heat exchangers is reheat dehumidification, the target operating modes of the other indoor heat exchangers can be heating or cooling modes. The following explanation uses two sets of indoor heat exchangers as an example.

[0107] like Figure 7 As shown, the first set of indoor heat exchangers performs reheat dehumidification, while the second set of indoor heat exchangers operates in cooling mode. Therefore, the cold water from the cold water tank, while flowing through the first heat exchanger of the first set of indoor heat exchangers, also flows through the first three-way valve of the second set of indoor heat exchangers to both the first and second indoor heat exchangers, and then exits through the first shut-off valve. Simultaneously, the second shut-off valve closes, and the second three-way valve closes at the hot water pipe end.

[0108] like Figure 8 As shown, the first set of indoor heat exchangers performs reheat dehumidification, while the second set of indoor heat exchangers operates in heating mode. The hot water from the hot water tank, as it flows through the second heat exchanger of the first set of indoor heat exchangers, also flows through the second three-way valve of the second set of indoor heat exchangers to both the first and second indoor heat exchangers, and then exits through the second shut-off valve. During this process, the first shut-off valve closes, and the first three-way valve closes at the cold water pipe end.

[0109] Combination Figure 9 As shown, this disclosure provides another control method for an air conditioning device, including:

[0110] S101, the processor determines the target operating mode of the air conditioning unit.

[0111] S102, the processor determines the operating parameters of the outdoor heat exchange system and the target status of the cold and hot water circulation loops according to the target operating mode.

[0112] S103, the processor controls the outdoor heat exchange system to execute operating parameters, and the cold and hot water circulation loops to execute target states.

[0113] S204, when the target operating mode includes heating mode and defrosting mode, and the outdoor ambient temperature is greater than the first threshold, the processor controls the fifth on / off valve to be in the conducting state.

[0114] Here, a refrigerant bypass line 51 is connected in parallel between the first inlet and outlet of the injector 15, and the refrigerant bypass line 51 is equipped with a fifth shut-off valve 52, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 The first threshold is a critical value used to define the severity of frost buildup. When the outdoor ambient temperature is greater than the first threshold, it indicates that the frost layer on the outdoor heat exchanger is relatively thin. In this case, the required energy efficiency of the air conditioning unit compressor can be appropriately reduced. Therefore, the fifth on / off valve is in the open state, and the ejector is essentially inactive.

[0115] It can be understood that the fifth on-off valve is controlled to be in the closed state when the outdoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the first threshold. At this time, the frost layer is relatively thick, and the ejector plays a throttling role. Thus, the energy efficiency of the compressor is improved, and the complete melting and removal of the frost layer is facilitated.

[0116] In combination Figure 10 The embodiment of the present disclosure provides another control method for an air conditioning device, which comprises the following steps:

[0117] In S101, a processor determines a target operation mode of the air conditioning device.

[0118] In S102, the processor determines an operation parameter of an outdoor heat exchange system and a target state of a cold water circulation loop and a hot water circulation loop according to the target operation mode.

[0119] In S103, the processor controls the outdoor heat exchange system to execute the operation parameter and controls the cold water circulation loop and the hot water circulation loop to execute the target state.

[0120] In S304, when the outdoor ambient temperature is less than a second threshold and the cold water circulation loop is not turned on, the processor controls the sixth on-off valve to be turned on.

[0121] Here, the cold water tank comprises a first cold water tank and a second cold water tank, and a cold water bypass 61 is arranged between the first cold water tank and the second cold water tank. The cold water bypass and the first cold water tank and the second cold water tank constitute a cold water circulation bypass, and the sixth on-off valve 62 is arranged on the cold water bypass, as shown in Figure 4 When the outdoor ambient temperature is low (i.e., the outdoor ambient temperature is less than the second threshold) and the cold water circulation loop is not turned on, the water in the cold water tank is in a static state and is prone to freezing. After the cold water tank freezes, if the air conditioning device is to be operated in a reheating dehumidification mode or a non-stop defrosting mode, the cold water circulation system cannot be normally started. In order to avoid the above situation, the cold water circulation bypass is arranged, and the sixth on-off valve is controlled to be turned on, so that the cold water circulation bypass is turned on. In this way, the cold water in the cold water tank is in a circulating flow state and is not prone to freezing.

[0122] In addition, it can be understood that when the cold water circulation bypass is arranged, the cold water pump should be arranged on a pipeline commonly owned by the cold water circulation bypass and the cold water circulation loop. In this way, the cold water pump can provide power for the water circulation of the cold water circulation bypass and the water circulation of the cold water circulation loop.
