[0018] According to another aspect of the present application, an air conditioner is provided, comprising a heat pump air conditioning system, which is the heat pump air conditioning system described above.

[0019] The technical scheme of the present application sets the compressor to have a structure with a first compression cylinder and a second compression cylinder, the first compression cylinder has a first exhaust port and a first suction port, the second compression cylinder has a second exhaust port and a second suction port, and a communication pipeline is arranged between the first suction port and the second suction port, in addition, the first end of the outdoor heat exchanger is communicated with the first end of the gas-liquid separator, the second end of the gas-liquid separator is communicated with the first end of the indoor heat exchanger, and a gas supplement pipeline is arranged between the third end of the gas-liquid separator and the second suction port; a first control valve is arranged on the communication pipeline, and a second control valve is arranged on the gas supplement pipeline.

The compressor 10 has a first compression cylinder 11 and a second compression cylinder 12. The first compression cylinder 11 has a first exhaust port and a first intake port, and the second compression cylinder 12 has a second exhaust port and a second intake port. A connecting pipe is provided between the first intake port and the second intake port. The first end of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 is connected to the first end of the gas-liquid separator 30, the second end of the gas-liquid separator 30 is connected to the first end of the indoor heat exchanger 40, and a make-up gas pipe 50 is provided between the third end of the gas-liquid separator 30 and the second intake port. A first control valve 100 is provided on the connecting pipe, and a second control valve 51 is provided on the make-up gas pipe 50. When the first control valve 100 is in the open position... When the first control valve 100 is in the open state and the second control valve 51 is in the open state, the third end of the gas-liquid separator 30 is connected to the second suction port, so that the second suction port absorbs refrigerant from the gas-liquid separator 30, and the first suction port is connected to the second end of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 or the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 40, so that the first suction port absorbs refrigerant from the outdoor heat exchanger 20 or the indoor heat exchanger 40, and the compressor 10 operates in parallel compression mode; when the first control valve 100 is in the open state and the second control valve 51 is in the open state, both the first suction port and the second suction port are connected to the second end of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 or the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 40, so that both the first suction port and the second suction port absorb refrigerant from the outdoor heat exchanger 20 or the indoor heat exchanger 40, and the compressor 10 operates in parallel compression mode.

[0039] By applying the technical solution of the present invention, the compressor 10 is configured to have a first compression cylinder 11 and a second compression cylinder 12. The first compression cylinder 11 has a first exhaust port and a first intake port, and the second compression cylinder 12 has a second exhaust port and a second intake port. A connecting pipe is provided between the first intake port and the second intake port. In addition, the first end of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 is connected to the first end of the gas-liquid separator 30, the second end of the gas-liquid separator 30 is connected to the first end of the indoor heat exchanger 40, and a make-up air pipe 50 is provided between the third end of the gas-liquid separator 30 and the second intake port. A first control valve 100 is provided on the connecting pipe, and a second control valve 51 is provided on the make-up air pipe 50.

[0040] Specifically, when the first control valve 100 is in the off state and the second control valve 51 is in the open state, the third end of the gas-liquid separator 30 is connected to the second suction port so that the second suction port absorbs refrigerant from the gas-liquid separator 30, and the first suction port is connected to the second end of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 or the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 40 so that the first suction port absorbs refrigerant from the outdoor heat exchanger 20 or the indoor heat exchanger 40, and the compressor 10 operates in parallel compression mode.

[0041] Furthermore, when the first control valve 100 is in the open state and the second control valve 51 is in the open state, both the first and second intake ports are connected to the second end of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 or the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 40, so that both the first and second intake ports absorb refrigerant from the outdoor heat exchanger 20 or the indoor heat exchanger 40, and the compressor 10 operates in parallel compression mode.

[0042] In this application, by switching the working states of the first control valve 100 and the second control valve 51, the parallel compression mode and the parallel-connected compression mode of the compressor 10 can be switched according to the working state of the heat pump air conditioning system, so that the heat pump air conditioning system can maintain a high energy efficiency operation as much as possible. In addition, by combining the parallel compressor mode of the compressor 10 with the gas injection pressure reduction on the gas injection pipeline 50, the two advantages are superimposed. When the outer ring temperature is high, gas injection pressure reduction can be used to effectively reduce the exhaust temperature and high pressure of the heat pump air conditioning system, improve the efficiency of the compressor 10, and increase the cooling capacity in high-temperature environments.

[0043] The compressor 10 provided in this application can switch between parallel compression mode and parallel compression mode. When the ambient temperature is high, it switches to parallel compression mode, where the first compression cylinder 11 and the second compression cylinder 12 compress the intake and replenishment gas respectively, avoiding mixing losses caused by compression in the same cylinder. When the ambient temperature is low, it switches to parallel compression mode, which can effectively reduce the compression ratio of the first compression cylinder 11 and the second compression cylinder 12 and improve the efficiency of the compressor. Both modes can effectively improve the system energy efficiency and heating capacity in low-temperature winter environments, while also reducing the exhaust temperature of the heat pump air conditioning system and improving the operational reliability of the heat pump air conditioning system.

[0044] like Figure 1As shown, the heat pump air conditioning system also includes a four-way valve 60, which has a first port 61, a second port 62, a third port 63, and a fourth port 64. When the heat pump air conditioning system is in the cooling cycle mode, the first port 61 and the second port 62 are connected, and the third port 63 and the fourth port 64 are also connected. The first exhaust port and the second exhaust port are both connected to the second port 62. The first port 61 is connected to the second end of the outdoor heat exchanger 20, and the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 40 is connected to the third port 63. When the compressor 10 is running in parallel compression mode, the fourth port 64 is connected to the first suction port so that the first suction port absorbs refrigerant from the indoor heat exchanger 40. When the compressor 10 is running in parallel compression mode, both the first suction port and the second suction port are connected to the fourth port 64 so that both the first suction port and the second suction port absorb refrigerant from the indoor heat exchanger 40. In this way, the four-way valve 60 serves to switch between the cooling cycle mode and the heating cycle mode of the heat pump air conditioning system. In addition, in the cooling cycle mode, the compressor 10 starts to operate in parallel compression mode. When the compressor 10 is in parallel compression mode, the second suction port absorbs refrigerant from the gas-liquid separator 30, which can effectively reduce the exhaust temperature and condensing temperature of the compressor 10. This enables the compressor 10 to operate at high frequency in high-temperature environments, thereby increasing the cooling capacity.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, a first temperature sensor 70 is installed on the pipeline between the first exhaust port or the second exhaust port and the second port 62. The first temperature sensor 70 is used to detect the exhaust temperature T1 of the compressor 10. A second temperature sensor 21 is installed on the outdoor heat exchanger 20.

When the outdoor ambient temperature T3 and the first preset value a satisfy T3≥a, the compressor 10 switches from parallel compression mode to parallel compression mode. The first preset value a ranges from 40 to 55.

[0047] Optionally, the first preset value a can be 40, 43, 45, 48, 52, or 55.

[0048] like Figure 1As shown, in the refrigeration cycle mode, the compressor 10 starts and operates in parallel compression mode. When the outdoor ambient temperature T3 satisfies T3 < a and the first preset value a, and the outdoor heat exchange temperature T2 satisfies T2 ≥ b, the compressor 10 switches from parallel compression mode to parallel compression mode. The value of the second preset value b ranges from 52 to 64. Alternatively, in the refrigeration cycle mode, the compressor 10 starts and operates in parallel compression mode. When the outdoor ambient temperature T3 satisfies T3 < a and the first preset value a, and the exhaust temperature T1 satisfies T1 ≥ c, the compressor 10 switches from parallel compression mode to parallel compression mode. The value of the third preset value c ranges from 78 to 90.

[0049] Optionally, the second preset value b can be 52, 55, 58, 60, or 64.

[0050] Optionally, the third preset value c can be 78, 80, 85, 88, or 90.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, in the refrigeration cycle mode, and when the compressor 10 is operating in parallel compression mode, when the outdoor heat exchange temperature T2 and the fourth preset value d satisfy T2 < d, the compressor 10 switches from parallel compression mode to parallel compression mode, wherein the value of the fourth preset value d ranges from 36 to 40; or, in the refrigeration cycle mode, and when the compressor 10 is operating in parallel compression mode, when the exhaust temperature T1 and the fifth preset value e satisfy T1 < e, the compressor 10 switches from parallel compression mode to parallel compression mode, wherein the value of the fifth preset value e ranges from 60 to 68.

[0052] Optionally, the fourth preset value d can be 40, 38, or 36.

[0053] Optionally, the fifth preset value e can be 60, 65, or 68.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, a first electronic expansion valve 200 is installed on the pipeline between the third temperature sensor 80 and the gas-liquid separator 30. This first electronic expansion valve 200 helps to reduce the refrigerant pressure and regulate the refrigerant circulation flow rate.

[0055] like Figure 2As shown, the heat pump air conditioning system also includes a four-way valve 60, which has a first port 61, a second port 62, a third port 63, and a fourth port 64. When the heat pump air conditioning system is in heating cycle mode, the first port 61 and the fourth port 64 are connected, and the second port 62 and the third port 63 are connected. The first exhaust port and the second exhaust port are both connected to the second port 62, and the third port 63 is connected to the second end of the indoor heat exchanger 40. The second end of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 is connected to the first port 61. When the compressor 10 is running in parallel compression mode, the fourth port 64 is connected to the first suction port so that the first suction port absorbs refrigerant from the outdoor heat exchanger 20. When the compressor 10 is running in parallel compression mode, the first suction port and the second suction port are both connected to the fourth port 64 so that both the first suction port and the second suction port absorb refrigerant from the outdoor heat exchanger 20. In this way, the four-way valve 60 is set to switch between the cooling cycle mode and the heating cycle mode of the heat pump air conditioning system. In addition, in the heating cycle mode, the compressor 10 starts to operate in parallel compression mode. When the compressor 10 is in parallel compression mode, the second suction port absorbs refrigerant from the gas-liquid separator 30, thereby enabling the compressor 10 to operate at high frequency and increase heating capacity in the heat pump air conditioning system in low temperature environment.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, a first temperature sensor 70 is installed on the pipeline between the first exhaust port or the second exhaust port and the second port 62. The first temperature sensor 70 is used to detect the exhaust temperature T1 of the compressor 10. A third temperature sensor 80 is installed on the pipeline between the outdoor heat exchanger 20 and the gas-liquid separator 30. The third temperature sensor 80 is used to detect the outdoor ambient temperature T3. A fourth temperature sensor 90 is installed on the pipeline between the indoor heat exchanger 40 and the gas-liquid separator 30. The fourth temperature sensor 90 is used to detect the indoor ambient temperature T4.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, in the heating cycle mode, the compressor 10 starts and runs in parallel compression mode. When the outdoor ambient temperature T3 and the sixth preset value f satisfy T3≥f, the compressor 10 switches from parallel compression mode to parallel compression mode. The value range of the sixth preset value f is 20 to 27.

[0058] Optionally, the sixth preset value f can be 20, 24, or 27.

[0059] like Figure 2As shown, in the heating cycle mode, the compressor 10 starts and operates in parallel compression mode. When the outdoor ambient temperature T3 satisfies T3 < k and the tenth preset value k, and the indoor ambient temperature T4 satisfies T4 ≥ g, the compressor 10 switches from parallel compression mode to parallel compression mode. The value range of the tenth preset value k is 7 to 15, and the value range of the seventh preset value g is 25 to 30. Alternatively, in the heating cycle mode, the compressor 10 starts and operates in parallel compression mode. When the outdoor ambient temperature T3 satisfies T3 < k and the tenth preset value k, and the exhaust temperature T1 satisfies T1 ≥ h, the compressor 10 switches from parallel compression mode to parallel compression mode. The value range of the tenth preset value k is 7 to 15, and the value range of the eighth preset value h is 70 to 82.

[0060] Optionally, the seventh preset value g can be 25, 28, or 30.

[0061] Optionally, the eighth preset value h can be 70, 76, or 82.

[0062] Optionally, the tenth preset value k can be 15, 10, or 7.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, in the heating cycle mode, and the compressor 10 is running in parallel compression mode, when the exhaust temperature T1 and the ninth preset value i satisfy T1 < i, the compressor 10 switches from parallel compression mode to parallel compression mode, wherein the value range of the ninth preset value i is 55 to 60.

[0064] Optionally, the ninth preset value i can be 60, 58, or 55.

[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, a second electronic expansion valve 300 is installed on the pipeline between the fourth temperature sensor 90 and the gas-liquid separator 30. This second electronic expansion valve 300 helps to reduce the refrigerant pressure and regulate the refrigerant circulation flow rate.

[0066] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0067] 1. By opening and closing the valve, the parallel compression mode and the parallel compression mode can be switched to each other, so that the heat pump air conditioning system can always maintain high energy efficiency operation.

[0068] 2. By using control methods, the control system switches to parallel compression mode when the ambient temperature is high, which can reduce the mixing loss caused by compression in the same cylinder, and can also reduce the system exhaust temperature and power, thereby improving system capacity and energy efficiency.

[0069] 3. By using control methods, the control system switches to parallel compression mode when the ambient temperature is low, which can effectively reduce the compression ratio of each cylinder, improve the efficiency of the compressor, and reduce the system exhaust temperature and power, thereby improving system capacity and energy efficiency.
