[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 A high-efficiency multi-cylinder compressor shown in the figure includes a mounting base, which includes an intake cylinder 1 and at least two exhaust cylinders 2 arranged on the side of the intake cylinder 1, a gas-liquid separator 3 is installed on the intake cylinder 1, and an intake port 4 is formed at the upper end of the gas-liquid separator 3, a compressor rotor cylinder body 5 is installed on each exhaust cylinder 2, and an exhaust port 6 is formed at the upper end of the compressor rotor cylinder body 5, and at least one through hole 7 is correspondingly opened on the intake cylinder 1 and the exhaust cylinder 2, and a connecting pipe is passed through the through hole 7 to connect the compressor rotor cylinder body 5 and the gas-liquid separator 3.

[0025] In the above technical solution, an air intake cylinder is constructed on the mounting base of the compressor for installing a gas-liquid separator, and at least two exhaust cylinders are constructed on the peripheral side of the air intake cylinder for installing a (small) compressor rotor cylinder. The gas-liquid separator is connected to each compressor rotor cylinder through a connecting pipe so that each compressor rotor cylinder can extract refrigerant from the gas-liquid separator for use. When the central air conditioner is in use, a corresponding number of compressor rotor cylinders can be turned on according to the use requirements, so that the central air conditioner can provide different output capacities more efficiently under different uses, thereby solving the problem of excessive energy consumption caused by only one central air conditioner or a small number of central air conditioners being turned on, and the problem of low energy efficiency of variable frequency compressors at low frequencies. In addition, the mass of a single compressor rotor cylinder is reduced, the vibration generated is smaller, and the noise can be reduced.

[0026] Furthermore, the suction cylinder 1 is integrally formed with the exhaust cylinder 2. In this technical solution, the suction cylinder and the exhaust cylinder are integrally formed, which can make the entire mounting seat structure more stable, thereby making the compressor more stable during operation with less vibration and noise.

[0027] Furthermore, at least one compressor rotor cylinder 5 rotates in the opposite direction to another compressor rotor cylinder 5. In this technical solution, the controller controls the rotation directions of two or more compressor rotor cylinders in opposite directions, so that the kinetic energy they generate is in opposite directions, thereby canceling out vibrations and reducing noise generation.

[0028] Furthermore, there are four exhaust cylinders 2, which are regularly distributed circumferentially outside the suction cylinder 1, and four compressor rotor cylinder bodies 5 are correspondingly arranged on the four exhaust cylinders 2. In this technical solution, the four exhaust cylinders are evenly distributed, the structure is stable, and the four compressor rotor cylinder bodies are correspondingly arranged on them. During operation, the force on each exhaust cylinder is relatively stable. It should be noted here that other numbers of exhaust cylinders can be set according to needs.

[0029] Furthermore, the exhaust ports 6 of the four compressor rotor cylinders 5 are arranged in parallel. In this technical solution, the exhaust ports of the four compressor rotor cylinders are arranged in parallel, and one or more exhaust ports can be used to connect to the unit for exhaust according to needs, which has high energy efficiency and convenient and flexible installation.

[0030] Furthermore, two of the compressor rotor cylinders 5 rotate in opposite directions to the other two compressor rotor cylinders 5. In this technical solution, the rotation directions of the four compressor rotor cylinders are opposite to each other, which can basically offset the vibration generated by the operation of the compressor rotor cylinders and reduce noise.

[0031] Furthermore, the mounting seat is supported below a base 8, and a folding plate 9 is provided on the edge of the base 8, and a plurality of legs 10 are provided on the folding plate 9. In this technical solution, the folding plate and the plurality of legs thereon can increase the support surface between the base and the ground, making the base more stable and reducing the vibration of the base and the compressor.

[0032] In this specific embodiment, in order to address the problems that the energy efficiency of the variable frequency compressor in the existing central air conditioner will be significantly reduced when operating at a low frequency, and that the large-displacement compressor has large vibration and noise, the above scheme is implemented by configuring the large compressor rotor cylinder body into several small compressor rotor cylinder bodies and sharing a gas-liquid separator. Each small-displacement compressor rotor cylinder body can be started and stopped independently. If the capacity demand is large, a large number of compressor rotor cylinder bodies will be started, and if the capacity demand is small, a small number of compressor rotor cylinder bodies will be started, thereby solving the problem of low energy efficiency of the variable frequency compressor at a low frequency. In addition, by controlling the rotation direction of the small compressor rotor cylinder bodies in each exhaust cylinder, the vibrations are offset from each other to achieve a silent shock-absorbing effect. The small compressor rotor cylinder body has a small mass and generates less vibration, thereby solving the problem of large noise and vibration of large-displacement compressors.

[0033] In addition, several small-displacement compressor rotor cylinders share one gas-liquid separator, which can also reduce the overall volume occupied by the equipment.
