[0081] Regarding the first heat exchange component 200, the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400, in this embodiment, the first heat exchange component 200 is arranged indoors, and the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400 are arranged outdoors, such as a wall-mounted air conditioner or a cabinet air conditioner, wherein the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400 can be integrated in one outdoor unit or in two different outdoor units. In other embodiments, the first heat exchange component 200, the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400 can all be arranged indoors, such as a mobile air conditioner.
[0082] Regarding the first switching device 500, in this embodiment, the first switching device 500 is a four-way multi-position reversing valve, wherein the four-way multi-position reversing valve has a plurality of valve ports, and the number of valve ports is greater than or equal to four, and the plurality of valve ports are divided into two groups, the valve ports in the groups are interconnected, and the number of valve ports in each group is not greater than three. In other embodiments, the first switching device 500 may also be a reversing module formed by combining other valve bodies 510.

[0084] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the first switching device 500 is a four-way multi-position reversing valve, which includes a valve body 510 and a valve core 520: the valve body 510 has a receiving chamber 501 and the first valve port J, the second valve port K, the third valve port L and the fourth valve port M connected to the receiving chamber 501; the valve core 520 is rotatably arranged in the receiving chamber 501, and the valve core 520 divides the receiving chamber 501 into a first cavity 501a and a second cavity 501b that are independent of each other; the valve core 520 is slidably connected to the surface of the valve body 510, so that the first switching device 500 has a first valve position, a second valve position and a third valve position.
[0085] The valve core 520 divides the accommodating cavity 501 into a first cavity 501a and a second cavity 501b that are independent of each other, that is, the first cavity 501a and the second cavity 501b are isolated from each other, and the refrigerant is not allowed to flow between the first cavity 501a and the second cavity 501b. Of course, the first switching device 500 may have other valve positions in addition to the above three valve positions, which satisfy that at most three valve ports among the first valve port J, the second valve port K, the third valve port L and the fourth valve port M are connected to the first cavity 501a at the same time, or at most three valve ports among the first valve port J, the second valve port K, the third valve port L and the fourth valve port M are connected to the second cavity 501b at the same time.
[0086] For further information, please refer to Figure 2The valve body 510 includes a shell 511, a valve seat 512 and four connecting pipes 513. The valve seat 512 and the shell 511 enclose the accommodating chamber 501. The first valve port J, the second valve port K, the third valve port L and the fourth valve port M are arranged on the valve seat 512. The four connecting pipes 513 are arranged on the valve seat 512 corresponding to the first valve port J, the second valve port K, the third valve port L and the fourth valve port M respectively.
[0087] Exemplarily, the four connecting pipes 513 are respectively a first connecting pipe 513, a second connecting pipe 513, a third connecting pipe 513 and a fourth connecting pipe 513, and the first connecting pipe 513, the second connecting pipe 513, the third connecting pipe 513 and the fourth connecting pipe 513 respectively correspond to the first valve port J, the second valve port K, the third valve port L and the fourth valve port M. The provision of the connecting pipe 513 facilitates the connection of the first switching device 500 to the heat exchange system 10.
[0088] In one embodiment, the valve core 520 includes a driving component 521 and a partition component 522. The driving component 521 is used to drive the partition component 522. The partition component 522 is slidably connected to the surface of the valve seat 512. The partition component 522 divides the accommodating chamber 501 into the first chamber 501a and the second chamber 501b. The driving component 521 generally includes a motor and a motor mounting structure and a transmission structure. The partition component 522 is connected to the output shaft of the motor. When the motor is turned on, the output shaft of the driving motor drives the partition component 522 to rotate and slide relative to the valve seat 512, thereby realizing that the first switching device 500 can directly switch between the first valve position, the second valve position and the third valve position.
[0089] The motor here can be a servo motor or a stepper motor, etc. The motor is connected to a control device, and the control device can control the operation of the motor. Different motor operation parameters result in different sliding positions of the connecting member 522b relative to the valve seat 512. In this embodiment, when the motor is turned on, the connecting member 522b rotates about the central axis of the rotating shaft, and slides relative to the surface of the valve seat 512 provided with the valve port during the rotation process, and the on-off state between the first cavity 501a and the second cavity 501b and each valve port changes.
[0090] In another embodiment, the partition assembly 522 includes a partition 522a and a connector 522b, one end of the connector 522b is connected to the partition 522a, and the other end is connected to the drive assembly 521; the partition 522a has an opening cavity, the opening edge of the opening cavity is slidably connected to the inner wall of the valve seat 512, and the first valve port J, the second valve port K, the third valve port L and the fourth valve port M are arranged in annular intervals around the rotating shaft of the valve core 520. In this embodiment, by setting the connector 522b, precise control of the valve position switching of the reversing valve based on electric control can be achieved, ensuring that the control accuracy of the reversing valve is effectively improved when it is used in its heat pump system.
[0091] For example, the first valve port J, the third valve port L, the second valve port K and the fourth valve port M are sequentially arranged on one inner wall surface of the valve seat 512. Based on this, it is helpful to reduce the activity of the valve core 520 when the first switching device 500 switches between different valve positions, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of valve position switching.
[0092] Further, in one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The partition 522a has an opening cavity, which is arranged in a direction, and the opening edge of the opening cavity is slidably connected to the wall surface of the valve seat 512 where the first valve port J, the third valve port L, the second valve port K and the fourth valve port M are located, and the coverage range of the opening cavity covers at most three adjacent valve ports among the first valve port J, the second valve port K, the third valve port L and the fourth valve port M. Based on this, the accuracy of the second valve position control can be ensured.
[0093] In other embodiments, when more than one opening cavity is provided in the valve core 520 , the coverage range of the opening cavity may also cover two valve ports at most.
[0094] Regarding the second switching device 600, in the present embodiment, the second switching device 600 is a four-way valve, and the second switching device 600 is provided with a fifth valve port D, a sixth valve port C, a seventh valve port S and an eighth valve port E, the fifth valve port D is connected to the exhaust port, the sixth valve port C is connected to the third valve port L, the seventh valve port S is connected to the return air port, and the eighth valve port E is connected to the first end of the first heat exchange component 200; the second switching device 600 has a fourth valve position and a fifth valve position, the fourth valve position corresponds to the fifth valve port D being connected to the sixth valve port C, and the seventh valve port S being connected to the eighth valve port E; the fifth valve position corresponds to the fifth valve port D being connected to the eighth valve port E, and the seventh valve port S being connected to the sixth valve port C.

The first switching device 500 and the second switching device 600 are controlled by a control device to be in different valve positions, so as to control the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 100 to be divided into two paths.
[0096] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 , the first switching device 500 and the second switching device 600 are used to control the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 100 to be divided into two paths; wherein, one path of refrigerant flows through the first heat exchange component 200 and the third heat exchange component 400 in sequence and then flows back to the compressor 100, and the other path of refrigerant flows through the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400 in sequence and then flows back to the compressor 100. In this embodiment, the first heat exchange component 200 is arranged indoors, and the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400 are arranged outdoors, so that the first heat exchange component 200 condenses and releases heat to transfer heat to the room, thereby adjusting the indoor temperature, and the second heat exchange component 300 condenses and releases heat to remove frost from the second heat exchange component 300, thereby achieving defrosting without stopping indoor heating, thereby improving indoor temperature comfort.
[0097] In another embodiment, see Figure 5 , the first switching device 500 and the second switching device 600 are used to control the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 100 to be divided into two paths, wherein one path of refrigerant flows through the first heat exchange component 200 and the second heat exchange component 300 in sequence and then flows back to the compressor 100, and the other path of refrigerant flows through the third heat exchange component 400 and the second heat exchange component 300 in sequence and then flows back to the compressor 100.

[0098] It is understandable that, in the actual working process, the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400 can condense and release heat in turn to improve the defrosting effect.
[0099] In an exemplary embodiment, see Figures 2 to 6, the valve ports of the first switching device 500 include a first valve port J, a second valve port K, a third valve port L and a fourth valve port M; the first valve port J is used to communicate with the exhaust port, the second valve port K is communicated with the first end of the second heat exchange component 300; the fourth valve port M is communicated with the first end of the third heat exchange component 400; the first switching device 500 has a first valve position, a second valve position and a third valve position;

[0101] The second switching device 600 is provided with a fifth valve port D, a sixth valve port C, a seventh valve port S and an eighth valve port E, the fifth valve port D is communicated with the exhaust port, the sixth valve port C is communicated with the third valve port L, the seventh valve port S is communicated with the return air port, and the eighth valve port E is communicated with the first end of the first heat exchange component 200;
[0102] The second switching device 600 has a fourth valve position and a fifth valve position. The fourth valve position corresponds to the fifth valve port D being connected to the sixth valve port C, and the seventh valve port S being connected to the eighth valve port E; the fifth valve position corresponds to the fifth valve port D being connected to the eighth valve port E, and the seventh valve port S being connected to the sixth valve port C.
[0103] In the first working mode, the second switching device 600 is in the fifth valve position, the first switching device 500 is in the first valve position, or the first switching device 500 is in the third valve position.
[0104] In this way, this embodiment achieves functional integration and simplified control of the heat exchange system 10 by improving the first switching device 500 and using it in conjunction with the second device.
[0105] In another embodiment, the first switching device 500 and the second switching device 600 are used to control three of the first heat exchange component 200, the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400, so that the heat exchange system 10 also forms the second working mode and / or the third working mode;
[0106] In the second working mode, the first switching device 500 is in the second valve position, and the second switching device 600 is in the fifth valve position, so that the first heat exchange component 200 condenses and releases heat, and the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400 evaporate and absorb heat;
[0107] And / or, the heat exchange system 10 has a third working mode. In the third working mode, the first switching device 500 is in the second valve position, and the second switching device 600 is in the fourth valve position, so that the first heat exchange component 200 evaporates and absorbs heat, and the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400 condense and release heat.
[0108] It can be understood that the first working mode, the second working mode and the third working mode can be switched freely by the user. Usually, a control instruction is input through the control device, and the control device runs different control modes according to the control instruction.
[0109] In this embodiment, the heat exchange system 10 further includes a third flow regulating component 900, and the third flow regulating component 900 is disposed at the second end of the first heat exchange component 200; the third flow regulating component 900 is generally an electronic expansion valve.
[0110] In one embodiment, in order to further improve the indoor temperature comfort of the heat exchange system 10, the heat exchange system 10 includes a first flow regulating component 700, which is arranged on the flow path between the second heat exchange component 300 and the first heat exchange component 200. The first flow regulating component 700 is mainly used to regulate the flow of the refrigerant flowing through the second heat exchange component 300, so as to adapt to different temperature powers and further improve the indoor temperature comfort of the heat exchange system 10. The first flow regulating component 700 is mainly used to regulate the flow of the refrigerant flowing through the first heat exchange component 200, which may include no flow, small flow, large flow, or a flow corresponding to the specific temperature adaptation.
[0111] In another embodiment, in order to further improve the indoor temperature comfort of the heat exchange system 10, the heat exchange system 10 includes a second flow regulating component 800, which is arranged on the flow path between the third heat exchange component 400 and the first heat exchange component 200. Similar to the previous implementation, the second flow regulating component 800 is mainly used to regulate the flow of the refrigerant flowing through the third heat exchange component 400, so as to adapt to different temperature powers and further improve the indoor temperature comfort of the heat exchange system 10. The second flow regulating component 800 is mainly used to regulate the flow of the refrigerant flowing through the third heat exchange component 400, which may include no flow, small flow, large flow, or a flow corresponding to the specific temperature adaptation.
[0112] In yet another embodiment, see Figure 1 and Fig.11 The first flow regulating component 700 is one or more of an electronic expansion valve, a throttling capillary or a throttling short tube; and / or the second flow regulating component 800 is one or more of an electronic expansion valve, a throttling capillary or a throttling short tube.
[0113] Regarding the electronic expansion valve, the main function of the electronic expansion valve is to adjust the flow of the refrigerant, but it is not only used to adjust the flow of the refrigerant, but also can affect the energy efficiency ratio of the air conditioner. The electronic expansion valve is usually composed of a valve body 510, a valve core 520, a bellows, a transmission mechanism and a pulse stepper motor, among which the pulse stepper motor is a driver, which is used to drive the valve core 520 to open and close, thereby adjusting the flow of the refrigerant. The opening control of the electronic expansion valve: The opening of the electronic expansion valve refers to the size of the opening or closing gap as it is opened, closed or changed. The opening can be used to control the flow of the refrigerant. The smaller the opening gap, the smaller the refrigerant flow, and the larger the opening gap, the greater the refrigerant flow. Since the valve core 520 of the electronic expansion valve is a closed body, the electronic expansion valve driver does not have a manual control function.
[0114] Regarding the throttling capillary, the main function of the throttling capillary is to adjust the flow of the refrigerant. The throttling capillary is usually a throttling device of the heat exchange system 10 drawn from a copper tube. As a throttling mechanism of the refrigeration system, the throttling capillary has the advantages of simple structure, low price, self-compensation and rapid balance of system pressure. Specifically, it is easy to manufacture and low price: the capillary has no moving parts, is not prone to failure and leakage, and is easy to manufacture and low price. It has the characteristics of self-compensation: the flow state of the refrigerant in the capillary, the pressure and temperature changes along the length of the tube will produce a supercooling zone, which makes the capillary have the characteristics of self-compensation. Rapid balance of system pressure: when the refrigeration system is shut down, the capillary can quickly balance the high and low pressure side pressures, so that the refrigeration compressor 100 motor is easy to start when it is restarted. Throttling characteristics of the supercooling zone and the saturated zone: the throttling characteristics of the capillary are achieved by utilizing the resistance of the refrigerant flowing in the slender tube. Depending on the usage, the capillary tube can be used with or without heat exchange, so the process of refrigerant flowing through the capillary tube can be typified as an adiabatic expansion process and an expansion process with heat exchange.
[0115] Regarding the throttling short tube, the main function is also to adjust the flow rate of the refrigerant, wherein the throttling short tube, also known as a short tube throttling valve, is a throttling mechanism for the heat exchange system 10. As a throttling mechanism with low cost, simple structure and easy installation, the throttling short tube has certain application value in certain specific refrigeration scenarios.
[0116] The advantages and disadvantages of the electronic expansion valve and the throttling capillary are compared as follows:
[0117] Advantages: The advantage of the electronic expansion valve is that it has precise flow control capability, which can achieve fine control of the refrigeration system, thereby improving the energy saving effect and comfort of the air conditioner. In addition, the electronic expansion valve can also automatically adjust the refrigerant flow according to the ambient temperature and load changes, without manual intervention, and is more convenient to use. Compared with the traditional thermal expansion valve, the electronic expansion valve has a faster response speed and higher control accuracy. The advantages of the throttling capillary tube are simple structure, low manufacturing cost, easy installation and connection, and suitable for certain specific refrigeration scenarios.
[0118] Disadvantages: The disadvantage of electronic expansion valves is that under ultra-low temperature conditions, cooling / heating tends to two extremes, and electronic expansion valves cannot meet the requirements. The advantages of throttling capillaries are simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and easy installation and connection, but their throttling effect is greatly affected by the ambient temperature and cannot automatically adjust to the optimal throttling state under different ambient temperatures.
[0119] The advantages and disadvantages of the throttling short tube and the throttling capillary are compared as follows:
[0120] Advantages: Simple structure, low cost. The throttling short tube consists of a small diameter pipe and two connectors. Its structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is relatively low. Compared with the throttling capillary tube, the price of the throttling short tube is more economical, which is conducive to cost saving. Easy installation: The throttling short tube has a simple structure and is easy to install and connect to the refrigeration system, which improves the convenience and flexibility of installation.
[0121] Disadvantages: The throttling short tube is suitable for certain specific refrigeration scenarios, such as small heat exchange systems 10 or occasions where a simple throttling mechanism is required. In contrast, the throttling capillary tube may be more common in some large or high-end refrigeration systems.
[0122] Throttling effect: Although the throttling effect of the throttling short tube may not be as fine as that of the capillary tube, it can meet some simple refrigeration needs, such as the refrigeration part of a single-cold air conditioner or a cold and warm machine. At the same time, the throttling effect of the throttling short tube is stable and reliable.
[0123] The use of an electronic expansion valve can make the control of the heat exchange system 10 more precise, but its cost is high. The throttling capillary and the throttling short tube can reduce the manufacturing cost while realizing the above working mode.
[0124] The embodiment of the utility model further provides a control method of an air conditioner, which is applied to the above-mentioned air conditioner.
[0125] In this embodiment, the control method of the air conditioner includes:
[0126] When the air conditioner operates in a target operating mode, the first switching device 500 and the second switching device 600 are controlled to operate at a target valve position corresponding to the target operating mode, so that the first heat exchange component 200, the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400 reach a target heat exchange state corresponding to the target operating mode.
[0127] The target working mode includes a first working mode, a second working mode and a third working mode.
[0128] Combination Figures 3 to 6 , when the target working mode is the first working mode, the target valve position corresponding to the first switching device 500 is the first valve position ( Figure 3 ) and the third valve position ( Figure 6 ), the target valve position of the second switching device 600 is the fifth valve position.
[0129] When the air conditioner operates in the first working mode, the compressor 100 is turned on, the first switching device 500 is controlled to operate at the first valve position, and the second switching device 600 is controlled to operate at the fifth valve position, the first heat exchange component 200 is in a condensing and releasing heat state, the second heat exchange component 300 is in a condensing and releasing heat state, and the third heat exchange component 400 is in an evaporating and absorbing heat state.
[0130] The second switching device 600 is controlled to the fifth valve position, and the valve core 520 in the first switching device 500 is controlled to rotate to the first valve position. When the valve core 520 rotates to the first valve position, the first valve port J and the fourth valve port M are connected through the first cavity 501a, and the second valve port K and the third valve port L are connected through the second cavity 501b. The first switching device 500 and the second switching device 600 divide the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 100 into two paths. One path of the refrigerant can be discharged from the first valve 501a and the other path can be discharged from the first valve 501b. After flowing into the first cavity 501a through port J, it flows out from the fourth valve port M to the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400, flows into the second cavity 501b through the second valve port K, and then flows back to the return air port of the compressor 100 from the third valve port L. The other way is from the fifth valve port D, the eighth valve port E, the first heat exchange component 200, the third heat exchange component 400, flows into the second cavity 501b through the second valve port K, and then flows back to the return air port of the compressor 100 from the third valve port L.
[0131] In the third and fifth valve positions, the first heat exchange component 200 is in a condensing and releasing heat state, the third heat exchange component 400 is in a condensing and releasing heat state, and the second heat exchange component 300 is in an evaporating and absorbing heat state. The specific flow rate adaptability changes will not be described in detail here.
[0132] In one embodiment, the step of controlling the first switching device 500 and the second switching device 600 to operate at the target position corresponding to the target working mode so that the first heat exchange component 200, the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400 reach the target heat exchange state corresponding to the target working mode includes:
[0133] When the target working mode is the first working mode, the first switching device 500 is controlled to operate at the first valve position, or the first switching device 500 is controlled to operate at the third valve position; the second switching device 600 is controlled to operate at the fifth valve position;
[0134] In this step, confirming that the target working mode is the first working mode can be done by the user sending a corresponding instruction to run the first working mode, or the air conditioner detects the temperature of the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400 in real time, and runs the first working mode when the temperature is lower than a preset value; or, when the air conditioner is turned on, the weather conditions of the location of the air conditioner are received, and when the temperature is lower than a preset value, the first working mode is first run.
[0135] When the first working mode is running, one of the first valve position or the third valve position can be operated first. Taking the first valve position as an example, by detecting the defrosting condition of the second heat exchange component 300 (detecting the temperature of the heat exchange component), when the defrosting of the second heat exchange component 300 is completed (the detected temperature condition is a preset value), the first switching device 500 can automatically switch to the third valve position for operation.
[0136] When the target working mode is the second working mode, the first switching device 500 is controlled to operate at the second valve position, and the second switching device 600 is controlled to be at the fifth valve position;
[0137] In this step, it is confirmed that the target operating mode is the second operating mode, usually by the user sending a corresponding instruction to run the second operating mode; it can also be that when the user sends a corresponding instruction to run the first operating mode, it is detected that the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400 are both defrosted.
[0138] When the target operating mode is the third operating mode, the first switching device 500 is controlled to operate at the second valve position, and the second switching device 600 is controlled to operate at the fourth valve position. In this step, the target operating mode is confirmed to be the second operating mode, usually by the user sending a corresponding instruction.
[0139] The control method of an air conditioner proposed in the embodiment of the utility model is based on an air conditioner provided with a first switching device 500 and a second switching device 600. When the air conditioner operates in a target heat exchange mode, the first switching device 500 and the second switching device 600 operate at corresponding target valve positions, so that the first heat exchange component 200, the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400 reach the target heat exchange state corresponding to the target operation mode. Thus, the second heat exchange component 300 and the third heat exchange component 400 can work alternately between condensation heat release or evaporation heat absorption, so as to realize outdoor heating and defrosting while indoor uninterrupted heating.
[0140] In addition, an embodiment of the utility model further proposes a storage medium, on which a control program of an air conditioner is stored. When the control program of the air conditioner is executed by a processor, the relevant steps of any embodiment of the control method of the air conditioner as described above are implemented.
