[0002] The air conditioner usually includes a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser and a four-way valve, etc., wherein the evaporator is usually installed in the indoor unit, and the condenser is usually installed in the outdoor unit. The four-way valve is used to change the flow direction of the refrigerant between the evaporator and the condenser. In winter, the ambient temperature is low. When the heating mode is used indoors, frost will appear on the surface of the condenser, which will reduce the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser and is not conducive to the reliable operation of the air conditioner. In the prior art, when defrosting, the air conditioner heating mode is usually converted to a cooling mode for defrosting. After converting to the cooling mode, the refrigerant passing through the condenser becomes a high-temperature liquid, which can melt and remove the frost on the surface. After defrosting is completed, the air conditioner operation mode can be adjusted back to heating. The defect of the above-mentioned defrosting scheme is that due to the low temperature in winter, the cooling mode is adjusted during defrosting, and the indoor unit blows out cold air, which will lower the indoor temperature and seriously affect the user experience of the air conditioner.
