The singular terms "one" and "the" may also include plural forms.

[0038] In multi-split systems such as one-to-many air conditioners commonly seen on the market, when one or more indoor units are turned on, refrigerant also flows through the indoor units that are not in operation, participating in the heat exchange of the indoor units' heat exchangers and causing unnecessary energy loss.

[0039] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0040] See attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the main steps of a control method for a multi-connected system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the multi-link system in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps 101-102.

[0041] Step 101: if it is detected that at least one indoor unit in the multi-split system is in a shutdown state, the adjustment capability of each indoor unit in the shutdown state is obtained;

[0042] In a specific implementation process, the state of each indoor unit in the multi-split system can be detected in real time. If it is detected that at least one indoor unit in the multi-split system is in a shutdown state, in order to reduce the energy loss of the multi-split system, the adjustment capacity of each indoor unit in the shutdown state can be obtained, such as heating capacity, cooling capacity, etc. Among them, the adjustment capacity of each indoor unit in the shutdown state can be obtained according to the manual of the multi-split system when it leaves the factory, or can be obtained by other methods, and this embodiment does not make specific restrictions.

[0043] Step 102: According to the regulation capability of each indoor unit in the shutdown state in the current environment regulation mode of the multi-split system, the operating frequency of the compressor is adjusted to the target frequency, and at least the upstream control valve connected to the indoor unit in the shutdown state is closed;

[0044] In a specific implementation process, if the frequency of the compressor still runs at the operating frequency before the shutdown after the indoor unit is shut down, it will cause energy waste. At the same time, if the refrigerant still flows through the indoor unit in the shutdown state, it will exchange heat with the heat exchanger of the indoor unit, causing energy waste. Therefore, according to the adjustment capacity of each indoor unit in the shutdown state in the current environmental adjustment mode of the multi-split system, the operating frequency of the compressor can be adjusted to the target frequency, and at least the upstream control valve connected to the indoor unit in the shutdown state can be closed. The upstream control valve is a control valve connected to the indoor unit in the shutdown state through which the refrigerant first flows in the current environmental adjustment mode of the multi-split system.

[0045] Specifically, the adjustment capacity of each indoor unit in the shutdown state can be input into the following calculation formula to obtain the target frequency of the compressor;

[0046] Wherein, the calculation formula is as follows:

[0047] F1=(P n -P x1 -P x2 -......P xi )*F

[0048] P n

[0049] Among them, F1 represents the target frequency, P n Indicates the total adjustment capacity of all indoor units in the current environment adjustment mode of the multi-connected system, P xi It represents the regulating capacity of the indoor unit in the i-th shutdown state, and F represents the frequency of the compressor when all indoor units are in the running state.

[0050] In a specific implementation process, closing at least the upstream control valve connected to the indoor unit in the shutdown state includes:

[0051] Only close the upstream control valve connected to the indoor unit in the stopped state, which can prevent the refrigerant from flowing into the indoor unit.

[0052] At the same time, the upstream control valve connected to the indoor unit in the shutdown state and the downstream control valve connected to the indoor unit in the shutdown state are closed. In this way, the upstream and downstream control valves connected to the indoor unit in the shutdown state are closed at the same time, which can better achieve the purpose of reducing energy consumption. Wherein, the downstream control valve is the control valve connected to the indoor unit in the shutdown state through which the refrigerant flows after in the current environmental adjustment mode of the multi-split system.

[0053] Specifically, when the multi-split system operates in heating mode, the upstream control valve may be a solenoid valve and the downstream control valve may be an expansion valve. When the multi-split system operates in cooling mode or dehumidification mode, the upstream control valve may be an expansion valve and the downstream control valve may be a solenoid valve.

[0054] The control method of the multi-split system of the present embodiment obtains the regulation capacity of each indoor unit in the shutdown state if it is detected that at least one indoor unit in the multi-split system is in the shutdown state; adjusts the operating frequency of the compressor to the target frequency according to the regulation capacity of each indoor unit in the shutdown state under the current environmental adjustment mode of the multi-split system, and at least closes the upstream control valve connected to the indoor unit in the shutdown state, thereby realizing the joint control of the compressor frequency and the control valve, reducing the compressor frequency, preventing the refrigerant in the indoor unit in the shutdown state from participating in the heat exchange, and reducing the energy consumption of the multi-split system.

[0055] See attached Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the main steps of a control method for a multi-connected system according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the control method of the multi-link system in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps 201 to 102.

[0056] Step 201: if it is detected that at least one indoor unit in the multi-split system is in a shutdown state, the adjustment capability of each indoor unit in the shutdown state is obtained;

[0057] Step 202: According to the regulation capability of each indoor unit in the shutdown state in the current environment regulation mode of the multi-split system, the operating frequency of the compressor is adjusted to the target frequency, and at least the upstream control valve connected to the indoor unit in the shutdown state is closed;

[0058] Step 203, obtaining the total refrigerant flow of the indoor unit in the running state;

[0059] In a specific implementation process, the total refrigerant flow of the indoor unit in operation can be obtained in real time through a flow sensor arranged at the compressor inlet.

[0060] Step 204, detect whether the total flow rate of the refrigerant is less than a preset threshold; if so, execute step 205, if not, execute step 206;

[0061] In a specific implementation process, the predicted value of the refrigerant flow rate flowing through each indoor unit during operation can be obtained according to the adjustment capacity of each indoor unit. In this way, a possible total refrigerant flow rate can be obtained as a preset threshold value according to the adjustment capacity of the indoor unit in the operating state, and then the obtained total refrigerant flow rate is compared with the preset threshold value to detect whether the total refrigerant flow rate is less than the preset threshold value. If so, step 205 is executed, and if not, step 206 is executed.

[0062] Step 205: Select at least one indoor unit in a stopped state from all indoor units in a stopped state as a target indoor unit, and open a control valve connected to each target indoor unit;

[0063] In a specific implementation process, if the total refrigerant flow rate is less than a preset threshold, there may be insufficient refrigerant flowing into a part of the indoor units, and their adjustment ability is poor. In order to avoid frequent adjustment of the compressor, at least one indoor unit in a stopped state can be selected from all indoor units in a stopped state as the target indoor unit, and the control valve connected to each target indoor unit can be opened to allow the refrigerant in some of the indoor units in a stopped state to supplement the total refrigerant flow rate.

[0064] It should be noted that although a certain amount of refrigerant will flow through some of the indoor units in the shutdown state in this situation, the compressor frequency is relatively low, the total energy consumption will not increase significantly, and the adjustment ability of the indoor units in the running state can be guaranteed. At the same time, it can also avoid frequent adjustments to the compressor and extend the life of the compressor.

[0065] In a specific implementation process, based on the time of entering the shutdown state, at least one indoor unit in the shutdown state can be selected as the target indoor unit in order from late to early time of entering the shutdown state. In this way, it can be ensured that the temperature difference between the refrigerant temperature in the indoor unit that enters the shutdown state latest and the required temperature is small, and its energy consumption is relatively low during heat exchange.

[0066] Step 206: Outputting fault prompt information indicating that the control valve is not closed.

[0067] In a specific implementation process, if the total refrigerant flow is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, it means that some control valves may fail to close due to failures. Therefore, a fault prompt message indicating that the control valve has not been closed may be output.

[0068] In a specific implementation process, the control valves connected to the indoor units in the shutdown state can be briefly opened in sequence in a certain order to detect the change in the total refrigerant flow rate. If the change is greater than a preset change, it means that there is no fault in briefly opening the control valve connected to the indoor units in the shutdown state. Conversely, if the change is less than or equal to the preset change, it means that there is a fault in briefly opening the control valve connected to the indoor units in the shutdown state, thereby locating the fault point.

[0069] In a specific implementation process, if it is detected that the multi-split system enters the defrost mode, all control valves connected to the indoor units can be controlled to open, and the operating frequency of the compressor can be adjusted to the defrost frequency. When exiting the defrost mode, the control valves of the indoor units in the shutdown state can be closed.

[0070] In a specific implementation process, the specific operation process of the control method of the multi-link system of the embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0071] (1) In heating mode, the indoor unit is fully open and the solenoid valves are fully open to the maximum opening.

[0072] (2) In heating mode, several indoor units are not turned on. For the indoor units that are not turned on, the expansion valves are closed and the solenoid valves are closed. The refrigerant in the indoor units that are not turned on does not participate in the system circulation. At this time, the compressor reduces the frequency according to the number of indoor units in operation, which is beneficial to energy consumption. In heating mode, all indoor units are turned on, and the compressor frequency is F. If one indoor unit is turned off, the compressor frequency F1 = (Pn-Px1) / Pn×F. If two indoor units are turned off, the compressor frequency F2 = (Pn-Px1-Px2) / Pn×F. By analogy, the fewer the number of indoor units in operation, the lower the compressor frequency and the lower the energy consumption.

[0073] (3) When the heating mode enters defrosting, all solenoid valves are opened to the maximum opening, all expansion valves are opened, the compressor enters the defrosting frequency, and all indoor units participate in defrosting. When the defrosting mode exits, the solenoid valves of the indoor units that do not participate in heating are closed.

[0074] (4) In cooling mode, all solenoid valves are open.

[0075] In a specific implementation process, in the cooling mode, the expansion valve of the indoor unit that cannot be opened can be closed, while the solenoid valves can remain fully opened.

[0076] (5) In standby or power-off state, the solenoid valve is closed by default.
