[0077] Reference Figure 2 , shows a flow chart of steps of an embodiment of a control method for a multi-heat pump system of the present invention, the multi-heat pump system comprising: a first heat pump system, a second heat pump system, a shell, an inner air valve, a side air valve and an upper air valve; the inner air valve, the first heat pump system and the second heat pump system are arranged on the inner side of the shell, and the first heat pump system and the second heat pump system are connected through the inner air valve; the side air valve is arranged on the side of the first heat pump system and the second heat pump system, and the side air valve is connected to the first heat pump system and the second heat pump system; the upper air valve is arranged above the first heat pump system, and the upper air valve is connected to the first heat pump system. The specific structure of the multi-heat pump system can refer to the above embodiment.

[0078] The control method of the multi-heat pump system may specifically include the following steps:

[0079] Step 201, receiving an operation mode setting instruction;

[0080] The user can send an operation mode setting instruction to the multi-heat pump system through a controller such as a wired controller according to different application scenarios. The operation mode setting instruction is used to set the state of each air valve in the multi-heat pump system, thereby realizing different operation modes and adapting to different application scenarios. The multi-heat pump system can receive the operation mode setting instruction.

[0081] Step 202, according to the operation mode corresponding to the operation mode setting instruction, control the state of at least one of the inner air valve, the side air valve and the upper air valve to enable the first heat pump system and the second heat pump system to perform heat exchange.

[0082] The operating mode corresponding to the instruction can be set according to different operating modes, and the corresponding air valve state can be set, that is, the state of at least one of the inner air valve, the side air valve and the upper air valve can be controlled, so as to realize different operating modes, so that the first heat pump system and the second heat pump system can exchange heat.

[0083] Specifically, the first heat pump system includes: a first water-side heat exchanger, a first cooling fan and a first heat exchange fin; the second heat pump system includes: a second water-side heat exchanger, a second cooling fan and a second heat exchange fin. The corresponding operation mode is achieved through the heat exchange system on the water side and the wind side.

[0084] In one example of the present invention, the operation mode setting instruction corresponds to a parallel operation mode; the step of controlling the state of at least one of the inner air valve, the side air valve and the upper air valve includes: controlling the inner air valve to be in a closed state, and the upper air valve and the side air valve to be in an open state.

[0085] You can refer to Figure 3 , for conventional heating or cooling projects, the corresponding application scenarios are cooling in summer and heating in winter. At this time, the multi-heat pump system can be in parallel operation mode. The first heat pump system and the second heat pump system are two systems that operate independently in parallel. The inner air valve can be controlled to be in a closed state, and the upper air valve and the side air valve can be controlled to be in an open state. The wind of the first heat pump system enters from the first heat exchange fin and is discharged from the upper air valve after heat exchange. The wind of the second heat pump system enters from the side air valve and is discharged from the second heat dissipation fan port. In summer, the first heat exchange fin and the second heat exchange fin heat, and the first water side heat exchanger and the second water side heat exchanger cool; in winter, the first heat exchange fin and the second heat exchange fin cool, and the first water side heat exchanger and the second water side heat exchanger heat.

[0086] In an example of the present invention, the operation mode setting instruction corresponds to a series operation mode, and the water inlet end of the first water-side heat exchanger is connected to the water outlet end of the second water-side heat exchanger.

[0087] You can refer to Figure 4For application scenarios with small water supply flow and large temperature difference requirements, a series operation mode can be adopted. The water inlet end of the first water-side heat exchanger is connected to the water outlet end of the second water-side heat exchanger. The first water-side heat exchanger and the second water-side heat exchanger are operated in series, and the wind side is operated in parallel. That is, the inner air valve can be controlled to be in a closed state, and the upper air valve and the side air valve can be controlled to be in an open state. The air of the first heat pump system enters from the first heat exchange fin and is discharged from the upper air valve after heat exchange. The air of the second heat pump system enters from the side air valve and is discharged from the second heat dissipation fan port.

[0088] In an example of the present invention, the multi-heat pump system further includes: a first water coil indoor unit and a domestic hot water tank, the second water side heat exchanger is connected to the first water coil indoor unit, and the first water side heat exchanger is connected to the domestic hot water tank; the operation mode setting instruction corresponds to a non-duct cold recovery operation mode, and the step of controlling the state of at least one of the inner air valve, the side air valve and the upper air valve includes: detecting the refrigeration water outlet temperature and the domestic hot water temperature of the second heat pump system; in response to the refrigeration water outlet temperature being higher than a preset refrigeration temperature threshold and the domestic hot water temperature being lower than a preset hot water temperature threshold, controlling the upper air valve to be closed and the side air valve to be in a closed state, and the inner air valve to be in an open state; in response to the refrigeration water outlet temperature being higher than the preset refrigeration temperature threshold and the domestic hot water temperature being not lower than the preset hot water temperature threshold, controlling the upper air valve and the side air valve to be in a closed state, and the inner air valve to be in an open state; in response to the refrigeration water outlet temperature being not higher than the preset refrigeration temperature threshold, controlling the inner air valve to be in a closed state.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 5 In the application scenario of cooling in summer and having demand for domestic hot water, the multi-heat pump system can be operated in a non-duct cold recovery mode, so that it can operate without the need for external ducts.

[0090] The refrigeration outlet water temperature and domestic hot water temperature of the second heat pump system can be detected.

[0091] When the refrigeration outlet water temperature of the second heat pump system is higher than the preset refrigeration temperature threshold and the domestic hot water temperature of the second heat pump system is lower than the preset hot water temperature threshold, it indicates that the refrigeration output load of the multi-heat pump system is insufficient and the domestic hot water temperature is insufficient. In response to the refrigeration outlet water temperature being higher than the preset refrigeration temperature threshold and the domestic hot water temperature being lower than the preset hot water temperature threshold, the first heat pump system is started and operated, and the upper air valve and the side air valve are controlled to be in a closed state, and the inner air valve is in an open state. After the outdoor air is cooled and cooled by the first heat exchange fin, it enters the second heat exchange fin, thereby increasing the air volume and reducing the air inlet temperature, thereby increasing the refrigeration capacity of the second heat pump system.

[0092] When the refrigeration water outlet temperature is higher than the preset refrigeration temperature threshold and the domestic hot water temperature is not lower than the preset hot water temperature threshold, it means that the refrigeration output load of the multi-heat pump system is insufficient but the domestic hot water temperature is sufficient. The first heat pump system only turns on the fan, controls the upper air valve and the side air valve to be in the closed state, and the inner air valve to be in the open state. The incoming air of the second heat pump system is accelerated by the first heat dissipation fan and then flows into the second heat exchange fins, which can increase the air volume of the second heat dissipation fan and increase its cooling capacity.

[0093] When the cooling water outlet temperature is not higher than the preset cooling temperature threshold, it means that the system cooling load is sufficient or no cooling is needed. In response to the cooling water outlet temperature being not higher than the preset cooling temperature threshold, the internal air valve can be controlled to be in a closed state, and the first heat pump system and the second heat pump system operate independently.

[0094] In one example of the present invention, the multi-heat pump system further includes: an external air duct, a first water coil indoor unit and a domestic hot water tank, the second water-side heat exchanger is connected to the first water coil indoor unit, the first water-side heat exchanger is connected to the domestic hot water tank; the air outlet of the upper air valve and the air inlet of the first heat exchange fin are connected to one side of the external air duct, and an organic external air valve is installed on the other side of the external air duct; the operation mode setting instruction corresponds to the cold recovery operation mode of the air duct, and the step of controlling the state of at least one of the inner air valve, the side air valve and the upper air valve includes: detecting the cooling water outlet temperature and the domestic hot water tank of the second heat pump system water temperature; in response to the refrigerated water outlet temperature being higher than the preset refrigeration temperature threshold and the domestic hot water temperature being lower than the preset hot water temperature threshold, the upper air valve is controlled to be in an open state, and the side air valve is controlled to be in a closed state; in response to the refrigerated water outlet temperature being higher than the preset refrigeration temperature threshold and the domestic hot water temperature being not lower than the preset hot water temperature threshold, the upper air valve and the side air valve are controlled to be in a closed state, and the outer air valve and the inner air valve are in an open state; in response to the refrigerated water outlet temperature being not higher than the preset refrigeration temperature threshold, the outer air valve and the side air valve are opened, and the inner air valve and the upper air valve are closed.

[0095] Also refer to Figure 5 For projects that require cooling in summer and domestic hot water, an external air duct can also be used to perform heat exchange using fresh air from the external air duct. The second water-side heat exchanger is connected to the first water coil unit, and the first water-side heat exchanger is connected to the domestic hot water tank; the air outlet of the upper air valve and the air inlet of the first heat exchange fin are connected to one side of the external air duct, and an organic external air valve is installed on the other side of the external air duct.

[0096] The multi-heat pump system can operate in duct cooling recovery mode.

[0097] The refrigeration outlet water temperature and domestic hot water temperature of the second heat pump system can be detected.

[0098] When the refrigeration water outlet temperature of the second heat pump system is higher than the preset refrigeration temperature threshold and the domestic hot water temperature of the second heat pump system is lower than the preset hot water temperature threshold, it means that the refrigeration output load of the multi-heat pump system is insufficient and the domestic hot water temperature is insufficient. The first heat pump system is started and the upper air valve is controlled to be in the open state and the side air valve to be in the closed state. The cold air cooled by the first heat exchange fin is introduced to supplement the refrigeration capacity.

[0099] When the refrigeration outlet water temperature of the second heat pump system is higher than the preset refrigeration temperature threshold and the domestic hot water temperature of the second heat pump system is not lower than the preset hot water temperature threshold, it means that the refrigeration output load of the multi-heat pump system is insufficient but the domestic hot water temperature is sufficient. The first heat pump system only turns on the fan, controls the upper air valve and the side air valve to be in the closed state, and the outer air valve and the inner air valve to be in the open state. The incoming air of the second heat pump system is accelerated by the first heat dissipation fan and then flows into the second heat exchange fins, which can increase the air volume of the second heat pump system and increase its cooling capacity.

[0100] When the cooling water outlet temperature is not higher than the preset cooling temperature threshold, it means that the cooling load is sufficient or cooling is not needed. The outer air valve and the side air valve can be controlled to be in the open state, and the inner air valve and the upper air valve can be controlled to be in the closed state. The first heat pump system and the second heat pump system operate independently.

[0101] In an example of the present invention, the multi-heat pump system also includes: a second water coil indoor unit, a third water coil indoor unit and a water coil outdoor unit, one end of the second water coil indoor unit is connected to the water outlet of the second water side heat exchanger, and the other end is connected to the water inlet of the first water side heat exchanger; one end of the third water coil indoor unit is connected to the water outlet of the first water side heat exchanger, the other end of the third water coil indoor unit is connected to one end of the water coil outdoor unit, and the other end of the water coil outdoor unit is connected to the water inlet of the second water side heat exchanger; the operation mode setting instruction corresponds to the constant temperature dehumidification operation mode, and the step of controlling the state of at least one of the inner air valve, the side air valve and the upper air valve includes: controlling the side air valve and the upper air valve to be in a closed state, and the inner air valve to be in an open state; or, controlling the inner air valve to be in a closed state, and the side air valve and the upper air valve to be in an open state.

[0102] You can refer to Figure 6 For constant temperature dehumidification projects, the entire unit can be installed indoors and run in constant temperature dehumidification mode. The second water coil indoor unit, the third water coil indoor unit and the water coil outdoor unit can be set. One end of the second water coil indoor unit is connected to the water outlet of the second water side heat exchanger, and the other end is connected to the water inlet of the first water side heat exchanger; one end of the third water coil indoor unit is connected to the water outlet of the first water side heat exchanger, the other end of the third water coil indoor unit is connected to one end of the water coil outdoor unit, and the other end of the water coil outdoor unit is connected to the water inlet of the second water side heat exchanger.

[0103] When in constant temperature dehumidification operation mode, the first heat pump system can be controlled to operate, the first heat exchange fin is cooling, and the second heat pump system can operate the second heat exchange fin for heating. The side air valve and the upper air valve are controlled to be closed, and the inner air valve is controlled to be open. After the indoor air is cooled and dehumidified by the first heat pump system, it enters the second heat pump system for heating and temperature rise, and the inlet and outlet air temperatures remain constant. The first water-side heat exchanger and the second water-side heat exchanger are installed side by side. The low-temperature cold water from the second heat pump system flows into the second water coil inner unit to cool and dehumidify the indoor air. The second heat pump system heats the water and then heats the indoor air through the third water coil inner unit, thus keeping the indoor temperature constant, and the excess heat is discharged to the outside through the water coil outer unit.

[0104] When only cooling is needed indoors, the first heat pump system and the second heat pump system can also operate the corresponding fin cooling, control the inner air valve to be in a closed state, and the side air valve and the upper air valve to be in an open state, and the indoor air is cooled and cooled by the first heat exchange fin and the second heat exchange fin respectively; the second water coil indoor unit and the second water coil indoor unit are both in a closed state, and the water coil outdoor unit is in an open state to transfer heat to the outdoor air.

[0105] When only heating is needed indoors, the first heat pump system and the second heat pump system are operated for fin heating, the internal control inner air valve is in a closed state, the side air valve and the upper air valve are in an open state, and the indoor air is heated by the first heat exchange fin and the second heat exchange fin; the second water coil indoor unit and the second water coil indoor unit are both in a closed state, and the water coil outdoor unit is also in an open state, transferring the cold energy to the outdoor air.
