Specifically, the refrigerant mass flow rate of the first-stage electronic expansion valve is calculated according to the refrigerant mass flow rates of the first and second-stage electronic expansion valves, and the opening degree value is converted according to the relationship between the mass flow rate and the opening degree, and the first-stage electronic expansion valve is controlled according to the opening degree value. The calculation formula is:

[0070] In the formula, Mr_m is the mass flow rate of the first-stage electronic expansion valve, Mr1 is the mass flow rate of the first and second-stage electronic expansion valves, Mr2 is the mass flow rate of the second-stage electronic expansion valve, and x_ft is the first-stage throttling flash evaporation dryness, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0071] x_ft=i*(t_c_o-t_ft_target) / (j-k*t_ft_target)。

[0072] In the formula, i, j and k are pre-stored coefficients determined by experiments, t_c_o is the outlet temperature of the condenser, and t_ft_target is the intermediate temperature target value of the opening degree of the first-stage electronic expansion valve, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0073] t_ft_target=m*tc_o+n*(tevap1+tevap2)。

[0074] In the formula, m and n are pre-stored coefficients determined by experiments; tc o is the condenser outlet temperature; tevap1 is the evaporation temperature of the first indoor heat exchanger; and tevap2 is the evaporation temperature of the second indoor heat exchanger. The high-pressure path parameters include the condenser outlet temperature tc o, and the low-pressure path parameters include the evaporation temperatures tevap1 and tevap2 of the first and second indoor heat exchangers.

[0075] By determining the intermediate temperature target value of the opening degree of the primary electronic expansion valve according to the evaporation temperatures of all the indoor heat exchangers in the parallel air conditioning system, and combining the mass flow rates of all the secondary electronic expansion valves, the opening degree of the primary electronic expansion valve is obtained, so as to improve the temperature and humidity control effect of the parallel air conditioning system and improve the energy efficiency performance of the system.

[0076] In some embodiments, the PD feedback control strategy includes: controlling the operation of the compressor according to a result of calculating the operating frequency of the compressor according to a first formula, controlling the operation of the indoor fan according to a result of calculating the rotating speed of the indoor fan according to a second formula, controlling the operation of the first branch throttling component according to a result of calculating the opening degree of the first branch throttling component according to a third formula, and controlling the operation of the second branch throttling component according to a result of calculating the opening degree of the second branch throttling component according to a fourth formula; and the thermal load and humidity load control strategy includes: controlling the operation of the compressor according to a result of calculating the operating frequency of the compressor according to a fifth formula, and controlling the operation of the indoor fan according to a result of calculating the rotating speed of the indoor fan according to a sixth formula.

[0077] In some embodiments, in step S120, a specific process of determining the compressor operating frequency control strategy of the air conditioner according to the size of the indoor dry-bulb temperature includes: judging the size of the absolute value of the difference between the indoor dry-bulb temperature and the indoor set temperature; if the absolute value of the difference between the indoor dry-bulb temperature and the indoor set temperature is less than a first temperature difference, the compressor operating frequency control strategy of the air conditioner is controlled to be the result of controlling the operation of the compressor according to the calculation of the operating frequency of the compressor according to the first formula in the PD feedback control; and if the absolute value of the difference between the indoor dry-bulb temperature and the indoor set temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature difference, the compressor operating frequency control strategy of the air conditioner is controlled to be the result of controlling the operation of the compressor according to the calculation of the operating frequency of the compressor according to the fifth formula in the thermal load and humidity load control.

[0078] For the control of the compressor operating frequency, the air conditioner is first controlled according to the first stage after being turned on, and then whether the second stage control is executed is determined according to the size of the indoor dry-bulb temperature Tin. The first stage is controlled according to the heat load and the humidity load, and the second stage is controlled according to the PD feedback. The second stage is the precise temperature and humidity control logic. The dividing point between the first stage and the second stage is whether the indoor dry-bulb temperature Tin reaches the indoor set temperature T_set. The indoor set temperature T_set is set by the user. The first temperature difference value is used to determine whether the indoor dry-bulb temperature Tin and the indoor set temperature T_set differ greatly, which can be set to 1.5°C. When |Tin-T_set|<1.5°C, the indoor dry-bulb temperature Tin and the indoor set temperature T_set differ slightly, and it is considered that the indoor dry-bulb temperature Tin meets the threshold interval and reaches the condition for PD feedback control; when |Tin-T_set|≥1.5°C, the first stage control is continued to be executed.

[0079] The first formula is:

[0080] F(n+1)=F(n)+Kd*(Kp1*△Tdr+Ki1*δTdr)+Kw*(Kp2*△Tdp+Ki1*δTdp).

[0081] In the formula, F(n+1) and F(n) are the operating frequencies of the compressor, n is the cycle number; △Tdr is the difference between the indoor dry-bulb temperature and the indoor set temperature, that is, △Tdr=|Tin-T_set|; δTdr is the deviation rate between the indoor dry-bulb temperature and the indoor set temperature, that is, δTdr=△Tdr / T_set; △Tdp is the difference between the indoor dew-point temperature and the indoor target dew-point temperature, that is, △Tdp=|Tdp-Tdp_set|; δTdp is the deviation rate between the indoor dew-point temperature and the indoor target dew-point temperature, that is, δTdp=△Tdp / Tdp_set; Kd, Kp1, Ki1, and Kw are coefficients.

[0082] The fifth formula is:

[0083] F0=z1+a1*Qtot+b1*SHR+c1*Qtot 2 +d1*SHR 2 +e1*Qtot*SHR.

[0084] In the formula, F0 is the operating frequency of the compressor; z1, a1, b1, c1, d1, and e1 are coefficients; Qtot is the total refrigerating capacity of the air conditioner, Qtot=Qlat+Qsen; SHR is the sensible heat ratio; SHR=Qsen / Qtot; Qlat is the humidity load; and Qsen is the heat load.

[0085] When the air conditioner is in stable temperature and humidity control, the indoor heat load Qsen is equal to the sensible heat output by the air conditioner, and the indoor moisture load Qlat is equal to the latent heat output by the air conditioner, so the total refrigerating capacity Qtot of the air conditioner is equal to the sum of the sensible heat and the latent heat, i.e. Qtot = Qsen + Qlat. The calculation formula of the heat load Qsen is:

[0086] Qsen = a3 * (Tin - T_set) + b3 * Tout + c3;

[0087] The calculation formula of the moisture load Qlat is:

[0088] Qlat = a4 * (Tdp - Tdp_set) + b4 * Tout + c4;

[0089] In the formula, a3, a4, b3, b4, c3 and c4 are coefficients determined by experiments; Tin is the indoor dry-bulb temperature; Tin_set is the indoor set temperature; Tout is the outdoor environment temperature; Tdp is the indoor dew point temperature; Tdp_set is the indoor set dew point temperature, which can be calculated according to the indoor set temperature T_set and the set relative humidity RH_set through the theory of moisture air state parameters. It should be noted that the way of calculating the heat load and the moisture load is not limited to the above formula, and the heat load and the moisture load can also be calculated according to other empirical formulas, experimental fitting formulas, big data and big model fitting formulas, etc.

[0090] In some embodiments, in step S130, the specific process of determining the control strategy for controlling the rotation speed of the indoor fan according to the size of the indoor dew point temperature includes: judging the size of the absolute value of the difference between the indoor dew point temperature and the indoor set dew point temperature; if the absolute value of the difference between the indoor dew point temperature and the indoor set dew point temperature is less than a second temperature difference, the control strategy for controlling the rotation speed of the indoor fan is that the indoor fan is controlled to run according to the result of calculating the rotation speed of the indoor fan according to the second formula in the PD feedback control; if the absolute value of the difference between the indoor dew point temperature and the indoor set dew point temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature difference, the control strategy for controlling the rotation speed of the indoor fan is that the indoor fan is controlled to run according to the result of calculating the rotation speed of the indoor fan according to the sixth formula in the heat load and moisture load control.

[0091] The indoor set dew point temperature Tdp_set can be calculated according to the indoor set temperature T_set and the set relative humidity RH_set by the wet air state parameter theory. The indoor dew point temperature Tdp can be calculated according to the indoor environment dry bulb temperature Tin, the indoor relative humidity RH and the outdoor environment temperature Tout. After the air conditioner is turned on, the rotation speed of the indoor fan is first controlled according to the first stage control, and then it is determined whether the second stage control is executed according to the size of the indoor dew point temperature Tdp. The first stage is the control according to the heat load and the wet load, and the second stage is the control according to the PD feedback. The second stage is the accurate temperature and humidity control logic. The distinguishing point of the first stage and the second stage lies in whether the indoor dew point temperature Tdp reaches the indoor set dew point temperature Tdp_set. The second temperature difference is used to judge whether the indoor dew point temperature Tdp and the indoor set dew point temperature Tdp_set are greatly different, which can be set to 1℃. When |Tdp-Tdp_set|<1℃, the indoor dew point temperature Tdp and the indoor set dew point temperature Tdp_set are not greatly different, it is considered that the indoor dew point temperature Tdp meets the threshold interval, and the condition of the PD feedback control is reached; when |Tdp-Tdp_set|≥1℃, the control of the first stage is continuously executed.

[0092] The second formula is:

[0093] C(n+1)=C(n)+Kp2*△Tdp+Ki2*δTdp.

[0094] In the formula, C(n+1), C(n) are the rotation speeds of the indoor fan, n is the cycle number; △Tdp is the difference between the indoor dew point temperature and the indoor target dew point temperature; δTdp is the deviation rate between the indoor dew point temperature and the indoor target dew point temperature; Kp2, Ki2 are coefficients.

[0095] The sixth formula is:

[0096] C0=z2+a2*Qtot+b2*SHR+c2*Qtot 2 +d2*SHR 2 +e2*Qtot*SHR.

[0097] In the formula, C0 is the rotation speed of the indoor fan; z2, a2, b2, c2, d2, e2 are all coefficients; Qtot is the total refrigerating capacity of the air conditioner, Qtot=Qlat+Qsen; SHR is the sensible heat ratio; SHR=Qsen / Qtot; Qlat is the wet load; Qsen is the heat load.

[0098] In some embodiments, in step S140, according to the size of the suction gas superheat of the first indoor heat exchanger and the size of the suction gas superheat of the second indoor heat exchanger, the specific process of determining the control strategy of the opening degree of the first branch throttling component and the opening degree of the second branch throttling component respectively includes: judging the size of the absolute value of the difference between the suction gas superheat of the first indoor heat exchanger and the first set suction gas superheat, if the absolute value of the difference between the suction gas superheat of the first indoor heat exchanger and the first set suction gas superheat is less than the preset suction gas superheat difference, the control strategy of the opening degree of the first branch throttling component is that the first branch throttling component is controlled to operate according to the result of calculating the opening degree of the first branch throttling component in the PD feedback control according to the third formula; if the absolute value of the difference between the suction gas superheat of the first indoor heat exchanger and the first set suction gas superheat is greater than or equal to the preset suction gas superheat difference, the control strategy of the opening degree of the first branch throttling component is the fitting formula control strategy. And, judging the size of the absolute value of the difference between the suction gas superheat of the second indoor heat exchanger and the second set suction gas superheat, if the absolute value of the difference between the suction gas superheat of the second indoor heat exchanger and the second set suction gas superheat is less than the preset suction gas superheat difference, the control strategy of the opening degree of the second branch throttling component is that the second branch throttling component is controlled to operate according to the result of calculating the opening degree of the second branch throttling component in the PD feedback control according to the fourth formula; if the absolute value of the difference between the suction gas superheat of the second indoor heat exchanger and the second set suction gas superheat is greater than or equal to the preset suction gas superheat difference, the control strategy of the opening degree of the second branch throttling component is the fitting formula control strategy.

[0099] The third formula is:

[0100] B1(n+1) = B1(n) + Kp3*△sh1 + Ki3*δsh1.

[0101] The fourth formula is:

[0102] B2(n+1) = B2(n) + Kp4*△sh2 + Ki4*δsh2.

[0103] In the formula, B1(n), B1(n+1) are the opening degrees of the first branch throttling component, B2(n), B2(n+1) are the opening degrees of the second branch throttling component, n is the cycle number; △sh1 is the difference between the suction gas superheat of the first indoor heat exchanger and the first set suction gas superheat, i.e. △sh1 = |sh_obj1-sh_1|; δsh1 is the deviation rate between the suction gas superheat of the first indoor heat exchanger and the first set suction gas superheat, i.e. δsh1 = △sh1 / sh_1; △sh2 is the difference between the suction gas superheat of the second indoor heat exchanger and the second set suction gas superheat, i.e.

[0104] △sh1=|sh_obj2-sh_2|; δsh2 is a deviation rate between the suction superheat of the second indoor heat exchanger and the second set suction superheat, i.e. δsh2=△sh2 / sh_2; Kp3, Ki3, Kp4 and Ki4 are all coefficients.

[0105] The fitting formula control strategy of the opening degree of the first branch throttling component and the opening degree of the second branch throttling component is the same; the fitting formula control strategy is to obtain the mass flow of the first branch throttling component and the second branch throttling component according to a seventh calculation formula, and to obtain the opening degree of the first branch throttling component and the opening degree of the second branch throttling component according to a preset corresponding relationship between the mass flow and the opening degree; the seventh calculation formula is:

[0106] Mr=f(F, ηv, tsuc_obj, tevap);

[0107] In the formula, Mr is the mass flow of the first branch throttling component and the second branch throttling component; F is the operating frequency of the compressor; ηv is the volumetric efficiency; if Mr is the mass flow of the first branch throttling component, tsuc_obj is the target suction superheat of the first indoor heat exchanger, and tevap is the evaporation temperature of the first indoor heat exchanger; if Mr is the mass flow of the second branch throttling component, tsuc_obj is the target suction superheat of the second indoor heat exchanger, and tevap is the evaporation temperature of the second indoor heat exchanger.

[0108] For the opening degree control of the first secondary electronic expansion valve and the second secondary electronic expansion valve, the air conditioner is first controlled according to the first stage control opening degree after being turned on, and then it is determined whether to perform the second stage control according to the suction superheat of the indoor heat exchanger directly connected with the secondary electronic expansion valve. The first stage is controlled according to the fitting formula, and the second stage is controlled according to the PD feedback. The second stage is the precise temperature and humidity control logic. The distinguishing point between the first stage and the second stage lies in whether the suction superheat reaches the set suction superheat. The preset suction superheat difference Δsh is used to judge whether the suction superheat and the set suction superheat differ greatly. Taking the first secondary electronic expansion valve as an example, the suction superheat of the first indoor heat exchanger is sh_obj1, and the corresponding set suction superheat is sh_1. When |sh_obj1-sh_1|<Δsh, the suction superheat and the set suction superheat differ slightly, and it is considered that the suction superheat meets the threshold interval, and the first secondary electronic expansion valve reaches the condition of performing the PD feedback control; when |sh_obj1-sh_1|≥Δsh, the first stage control is continued to be performed.

[0109] Figure 4 The flowchart of another embodiment of the control method of the air conditioner of the present application is shown in FIG. 4. Figure 4As shown, comprising:

[0111] Step 2, according to the indoor dry bulb temperature and the indoor dew point temperature set value and the current value, the PD control feedback adjustment air conditioner operation parameter is adjusted to stable temperature and humidity control.

[0112] Step 3, the opening degree of the first throttling electronic expansion valve is controlled by the intermediate target temperature, and the intermediate target temperature is calculated by an empirical formula. The empirical formula needs to obtain the characteristic parameters of the high-pressure path and the low-pressure path of the system; the opening degree of the second throttling electronic expansion valve includes a calculated value and a feedback control. The calculated value of the empirical formula needs to obtain the characteristic parameters of the compressor, the pre-stored characteristic parameters of the electronic expansion valve and the state parameters of the system, and the feedback control is realized by the pre-set suction target superheat degree.

[0123] The operation of the air conditioner is divided into a first stage and a second stage. In the first stage, the air conditioner obtains the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to the preset calculation formula according to the collected temperature, humidity and suction superheat degree, and controls the operating frequency of the compressor, the rotating speed of the indoor fan and the opening degree of the throttling component. In the second stage, the operating parameters are calculated according to the PD feedback control, so as to realize the coupling processing of the two indoor heat exchangers for sensible heat load and latent heat load, so as to achieve the purpose of precise temperature and humidity control and high-efficiency operation of the air conditioning system. The judgment conditions for selecting the first stage or the second stage for the compressor, the indoor fan and the throttling component are different.

The first stage is controlled according to the heat load and the humidity load, and the second stage is controlled according to the PD feedback. The second stage is the precise temperature and humidity control logic. The dividing point between the first stage and the second stage is whether the indoor dry-bulb temperature Tin reaches the indoor set temperature T_set. The indoor set temperature T_set is set by the user. The first temperature difference value is used to judge whether the indoor dry-bulb temperature Tin and the indoor set temperature T_set are greatly different, which can be set to 1.5℃. When |Tin-T_set|<1.5℃, the indoor dry-bulb temperature Tin and the indoor set temperature T_set are not greatly different, and it is considered that the indoor dry-bulb temperature Tin meets the threshold interval and reaches the condition of PD feedback control; when |Tin-T_set|≥1.5℃, the first stage control is continued to be executed.

[0138] The fifth formula is:

[0139] F0=z1+a1*Qtot+b1*SHR+c1*Qtot 2 +d1*SHR 2 +e1*Qtot*SHR.

[0140] In the formula, F0 is the operating frequency of the compressor; z1, a1, b1, c1, d1, and e1 are coefficients; Qtot is the total refrigerating capacity of the air conditioner, Qtot=Qlat+Qsen; SHR is the sensible heat ratio, SHR=Qsen / Qtot; Qlat is the humidity load; and Qsen is the heat load.

[0141] When the air conditioner is in stable temperature and humidity control, the indoor heat load Qsen is equal to the sensible heat output by the air conditioner, and the indoor moisture load Qlat is equal to the latent heat output by the air conditioner, so that the total refrigerating capacity Qtot of the air conditioner is equal to the sum of the sensible heat and the latent heat, i.e., Qtot = Qsen + Qlat. The calculation formula of the heat load Qsen is:

[0142] Qsen = a3 * (Tin - T_set) + b3 * Tout + c3;

[0143] The calculation formula of the moisture load Qlat is:

[0144] Qlat = a4 * (Tdp - Tdp_set) + b4 * Tout + c4;

[0145] In the formula, a3, a4, b3, b4, c3, and c4 are coefficients determined by experiments; Tin is the indoor dry-bulb temperature; Tin_set is the indoor set temperature; Tout is the outdoor environment temperature; Tdp is the indoor dew-point temperature; and Tdp_set is the indoor set dew-point temperature, which can be calculated according to the indoor set temperature T_set and the set relative humidity RH_set through the theory of moisture air state parameters. It should be noted that the way of calculating the heat load and the moisture load is not limited to the above formula, and the heat load and the moisture load can also be calculated according to other empirical formulas, experimental fitting formulas, big data and big model fitting formulas, etc.

[0146] In some embodiments, the control unit 104 determines the specific process of the control strategy for controlling the rotation speed of the indoor fan according to the size of the indoor dew-point temperature, which includes: judging the size of the absolute value of the difference between the indoor dew-point temperature and the indoor set dew-point temperature; if the absolute value of the difference between the indoor dew-point temperature and the indoor set dew-point temperature is less than a second temperature difference, the control strategy for controlling the rotation speed of the indoor fan is that the indoor fan is controlled to operate according to the result of calculating the rotation speed of the indoor fan in the PD feedback control according to the second formula; and if the absolute value of the difference between the indoor dew-point temperature and the indoor set dew-point temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature difference, the control strategy for controlling the rotation speed of the indoor fan is that the indoor fan is controlled to operate according to the result of calculating the rotation speed of the indoor fan in the heat load and moisture load control according to the sixth formula.

[0147] The indoor set dew point temperature Tdp_set can be calculated according to the indoor set temperature T_set and the set relative humidity RH_set by the wet air state parameter theory. The indoor dew point temperature Tdp can be calculated according to the indoor environment dry bulb temperature Tin, the indoor relative humidity RH and the outdoor environment temperature Tout. After the air conditioner is turned on, the rotation speed of the indoor fan is first controlled according to the first stage control, and then it is determined whether the second stage control is executed according to the size of the indoor dew point temperature Tdp. The first stage is the control according to the heat load and the wet load, and the second stage is the control according to the PD feedback. The second stage is the accurate temperature and humidity control logic. The distinguishing point of the first stage and the second stage lies in whether the indoor dew point temperature Tdp reaches the indoor set dew point temperature Tdp_set. The second temperature difference is used to judge whether the indoor dew point temperature Tdp and the indoor set dew point temperature Tdp_set are greatly different, which can be set to 1℃. When |Tdp-Tdp_set|<1℃, the indoor dew point temperature Tdp and the indoor set dew point temperature Tdp_set are not greatly different, it is considered that the indoor dew point temperature Tdp meets the threshold interval, and the condition of the PD feedback control is reached; when |Tdp-Tdp_set|≥1℃, the control of the first stage is continuously executed.

[0148] The second formula is:

[0149] C(n+1)=C(n)+Kp2*△Tdp+Ki2*δTdp.

[0150] In the formula, C(n+1) and C(n) are the rotation speeds of the indoor fan, and n is the cycle number; △Tdp is the difference between the indoor dew point temperature and the indoor target dew point temperature; δTdp is the deviation rate between the indoor dew point temperature and the indoor target dew point temperature; Kp2 and Ki2 are coefficients.

[0151] The sixth formula is:

[0152] C0=z2+a2*Qtot+b2*SHR+c2*Qtot 2 +d2*SHR 2 +e2*Qtot*SHR.

[0153] In the formula, C0 is the rotation speed of the indoor fan; z2, a2, b2, c2, d2 and e2 are coefficients; Qtot is the total refrigerating capacity of the air conditioner, Qtot=Qlat+Qsen; SHR is the sensible heat ratio, SHR=Qsen / Qtot; Qlat is the wet load; and Qsen is the heat load.

[0154] In some embodiments, the control unit 104 determines the specific process of the control strategy for controlling the opening degree of the first branch throttling component and the opening degree of the second branch throttling component according to the size of the suction superheat degree of the first indoor heat exchanger and the size of the suction superheat degree of the second indoor heat exchanger, which includes: judging the size of the absolute value of the difference between the suction superheat degree of the first indoor heat exchanger and the first set suction superheat degree, if the absolute value of the difference between the suction superheat degree of the first indoor heat exchanger and the first set suction superheat degree is less than the preset suction superheat degree difference, the control strategy for controlling the opening degree of the first branch throttling component is the result of calculating the opening degree of the first branch throttling component according to the third formula in the PD feedback control to control the operation of the first branch throttling component; if the absolute value of the difference between the suction superheat degree of the first indoor heat exchanger and the first set suction superheat degree is greater than or equal to the preset suction superheat degree difference, the control strategy for controlling the opening degree of the first branch throttling component is the fitting formula control strategy. And, judging the size of the absolute value of the difference between the suction superheat degree of the second indoor heat exchanger and the second set suction superheat degree, if the absolute value of the difference between the suction superheat degree of the second indoor heat exchanger and the second set suction superheat degree is less than the preset suction superheat degree difference, the control strategy for controlling the opening degree of the second branch throttling component is the result of calculating the opening degree of the second branch throttling component according to the fourth formula in the PD feedback control to control the operation of the second branch throttling component; if the absolute value of the difference between the suction superheat degree of the second indoor heat exchanger and the second set suction superheat degree is greater than or equal to the preset suction superheat degree difference, the control strategy for controlling the opening degree of the second branch throttling component is the fitting formula control strategy.

[0155] The third formula is:

[0156] B1(n+1) = B1(n) + Kp3*△sh1 + Ki3*δsh1.

[0157] The fourth formula is:

[0158] B2(n+1) = B2(n) + Kp4*△sh2 + Ki4*δsh2.

[0159] In the formula, B1(n), B1(n+1) are the opening degrees of the first branch throttling component, B2(n), B2(n+1) are the opening degrees of the second branch throttling component, n is the cycle number; △sh1 is the difference between the suction superheat degree of the first indoor heat exchanger and the first set suction superheat degree, that is, △sh1 = |sh_obj1-sh_1|; δsh1 is the deviation rate between the suction superheat degree of the first indoor heat exchanger and the first set suction superheat degree, that is, δsh1 = △sh1 / sh_1; △sh2 is the difference between the suction superheat degree of the second indoor heat exchanger and the second set suction superheat degree, that is,

[0160] △sh1=|sh_obj2-sh_2|; δsh2 is a deviation rate between suction superheat of the second indoor heat exchanger and the second set suction superheat, i.e. δsh2=△sh2 / sh_2; Kp3, Ki3, Kp4 and Ki4 are all coefficients.

[0161] The fitting formula control strategy of the opening degree of the first branch throttling component and the opening degree of the second branch throttling component is the same; the fitting formula control strategy is to obtain the mass flow of the first branch throttling component and the second branch throttling component according to a seventh calculation formula, and to obtain the opening degree of the first branch throttling component and the opening degree of the second branch throttling component according to a preset corresponding relationship between the mass flow and the opening degree; the seventh calculation formula is:

[0162] Mr=f(F, ηv, tsuc_obj, tevap);

[0163] In the formula, Mr is the mass flow of the first branch throttling component and the second branch throttling component; F is the operating frequency of the compressor; ηv is the volumetric efficiency; if Mr is the mass flow of the first branch throttling component, tsuc_obj is the target suction superheat of the first indoor heat exchanger, and tevap is the evaporation temperature of the first indoor heat exchanger; if Mr is the mass flow of the second branch throttling component, tsuc_obj is the target suction superheat of the second indoor heat exchanger, and tevap is the evaporation temperature of the second indoor heat exchanger.

[0164] For the opening degree control of the first secondary electronic expansion valve and the second secondary electronic expansion valve, the air conditioner is first controlled according to the first stage control opening degree after being turned on, and then it is determined whether to perform the second stage control according to the suction superheat of the indoor heat exchanger directly connected with the secondary electronic expansion valve. The first stage is controlled according to the fitting formula, and the second stage is controlled according to the PD feedback. The second stage is the precise temperature and humidity control logic. The distinguishing point between the first stage and the second stage lies in whether the suction superheat reaches the set suction superheat. The preset suction superheat difference Δsh is used to judge whether the suction superheat and the set suction superheat differ greatly. Taking the first secondary electronic expansion valve as an example, the suction superheat of the first indoor heat exchanger is sh_obj1, and the corresponding set suction superheat is sh_1. When |sh_obj1-sh_1|<Δsh, the suction superheat and the set suction superheat differ slightly, and it is considered that the suction superheat meets the threshold interval, and the first secondary electronic expansion valve reaches the condition of performing the PD feedback control; when |sh_obj1-sh_1|≥Δsh, the first stage control is continued to be performed.

The calculation value empirical formula needs to obtain the compressor characteristic parameter, the pre-stored electronic expansion valve characteristic parameter and the system state parameter, and the feedback control is realized by the preset suction target superheat degree.
