[0080] In some cases, with the promotion of energy-saving policies in some regions and countries, the display of the power consumption of the indoor unit at the end can help consumers to more visually understand the energy consumption, thereby guiding consumers to use energy-saving, and the government will give a certain amount of subsidies. Specifically, for the current multi-group pipe multi-split air conditioner, since the outdoor unit is powered, the power consumption of the outdoor unit generates refrigeration and heating capacity which is delivered to each indoor unit by refrigerant. For the indoor unit which is working among the air conditioners, it is difficult to calculate its power consumption contribution in the system, so it is difficult to allocate its corresponding power, and then it is difficult to detect the power consumption. At present, there is no technology that can display the individual power consumption of each indoor unit at the end when it is working.

[0081] Based on the above situation, the embodiments of the present application propose a multi-split air conditioner and an electric quantity detection control method, a controller and a storage medium thereof, aiming to realize that the indoor unit at the end can display its power consumption, thereby meeting the use demand of customers.

[0082] The embodiments of the multi-split air conditioner of the present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a multi-split air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0084] In an embodiment, the multi-split air conditioner comprises an outdoor unit 100 and a plurality of indoor units 200, and one outdoor unit 100 is connected to a plurality of indoor units 200 at the same time.

[0085] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the indoor unit 200 includes but is not limited to the indoor heat exchanger 210 and the indoor fan 220.

[0086] In an embodiment, the indoor unit 200 can be other types of indoor unit terminals in addition to the indoor heat exchanger 210 and the indoor fan 220, such as a domestic water heater or a floor heating system, etc.

[0087] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the outdoor unit 100 includes but is not limited to the compressor 110, the outdoor heat exchanger 120, the outdoor fan 130 and various types of outdoor unit valves, wherein the outdoor unit valves can include but are not limited to the four-way valve 151, the electronic expansion valve 152 or the stop valve 153, and the four ports of the four-way valve 151 are respectively connected to the exhaust port, the return gas port of the compressor 110, the outdoor heat exchanger 120 and the indoor heat exchanger 210.

[0088] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the outdoor unit 100 includes but is not limited to the gas-liquid separator 140, wherein one end of the gas-liquid separator 140 is connected to the four-way valve 151, and the other end is connected to the return gas port of the compressor 110.

[0089] Based on the hardware structure of the multi-connected air conditioner according to the above various embodiments, the following respectively proposes various embodiments of the power detection control method of the multi-connected air conditioner executed by the outdoor unit side of the present application.

[0090] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the power detection control method of the multi-connected air conditioner executed by the outdoor unit side of an embodiment of the present application; the power detection control method of the multi-connected air conditioner can include but is not limited to step S210, step S220 and step S230.

[0091] Step S210, obtaining the total power of the outdoor unit, the total energy demand of all indoor units and the sub-energy demand of the target indoor unit;

[0092] Step S220, determining the outdoor unit distribution power of the target indoor unit according to the total power of the outdoor unit, the total energy demand and the sub-energy demand;

[0093] Step S230, sending the outdoor unit distribution power to the target indoor unit, so that the target indoor unit determines the power consumption of the target indoor unit based on the outdoor unit distribution power.

[0094] In one embodiment, the outdoor unit will calculate its own total outdoor unit power and receive the capacity demand (energy demand) sent by each indoor unit. Then, the indoor unit will sum up the energy demands of all indoor units to obtain the total energy demand of all indoor units. If a certain indoor unit, i.e. the target indoor unit, needs to display its power consumption, the outdoor unit will calculate the proportion of the target indoor unit's sub-energy demand to the total energy demand of all indoor units. Then, based on the total outdoor unit power, it will calculate the outdoor unit power allocated to the target indoor unit by multiplying the proportion and send the outdoor unit power allocation to the target indoor unit. Finally, the target indoor unit will calculate its power consumption based on the outdoor unit power allocation.

[0095] It is worth noting that the embodiments of this application provide a way to display the individual power consumption of each indoor unit terminal. Specifically, the embodiments of this application determine the power allocation of each indoor unit to the outdoor unit based on the energy demand allocation situation, and then can further calculate the individual power consumption of each indoor unit, so as to achieve the purpose of displaying the power consumption of the indoor unit terminal, thereby meeting the user needs and government subsidy requirements.

[0096] Additionally, as shown in Figure 3, which is a flowchart of a power detection and control method for a multi-split air conditioner performed by the outdoor unit side according to another embodiment of this application; the process of obtaining the total power of the outdoor unit in step S210 may include, but is not limited to, steps S310 and S320.

[0097] Step S310: Obtain the total power of the compressor and motor of the outdoor unit, the power of the valves of the outdoor unit, and the power of the auxiliary electric heating of the outdoor unit;

[0098] Step S320: Add the total power of the two, the power of the outdoor unit valves, and the power of the outdoor unit auxiliary electric heating to obtain the total power of the outdoor unit.

[0099] In one embodiment, since the outdoor unit contains various valves in addition to high-power components such as compressors and fan motors, and may also be equipped with auxiliary electric heating belts, in order to comprehensively calculate the total power of the outdoor unit, it is necessary to add up the total power of the compressor and motor, the power of the various valves, and the auxiliary electric heating power of the auxiliary electric heating belt to obtain the final accurate total power of the outdoor unit.

[0100] Therefore, the formula for calculating the total power of the outdoor unit is as follows: P ODU =P motor +P 4WV +P PTC , where P ODU P represents the total power of the outdoor unit. motor P is the total power of the compressor and the motor.4WV P is the total power of the compressor and the motor PTC P is the auxiliary electric heating power of the outdoor unit.

[0101] In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the electric quantity detection control method of the multi-connected air conditioner executed by the outdoor unit side according to another embodiment of the present application. As to the process of obtaining the total power of the compressor and the motor in step S310, it can include but is not limited to step S410 and step S420.

[0102] Step S410, detecting the supply voltage and the supply current through the outdoor unit main control board;

[0103] Step S420, calculating the total power of the compressor and the motor according to the supply voltage and the supply current.

[0104] In an embodiment, as to the calculation of the total power of the compressor and the motor, the supply voltage and the supply current can be detected, and the total power of the compressor and the motor can be calculated according to the following calculation formula: P motor = U*I, wherein U is the supply voltage and I is the supply current.

[0105] In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the electric quantity detection control method of the multi-connected air conditioner executed by the outdoor unit side according to another embodiment of the present application. As to the process of obtaining the total power of the compressor and the motor in step S310, it can include but is not limited to step S410 and step S420.

[0106] Step S510, determining the number of outdoor unit valves in the power-on working state;

[0107] Step S520, calculating the outdoor unit valve power according to the number of outdoor unit valves and the preset power-on power of a single valve.

[0108] In an embodiment, as to the calculation of the outdoor unit valve power, the number of outdoor unit valves in the power-on working state can be counted, and the outdoor unit valve power can be calculated according to the preset power-on power of a single outdoor unit valve through the following calculation formula: P 4WV = p*N, wherein p is the preset power-on power of a single outdoor unit valve and N is the number of outdoor unit valves in the power-on working state.

[0109] In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the electric quantity detection control method of the multi-connected air conditioner executed by the outdoor unit side according to another embodiment of the present application. As to the process of obtaining the total power of the compressor and the motor in step S310, it can include but is not limited to step S410 and step S420.

[0110] Step S610, determine the working state of the compressor electric heating band and the chassis electric heating band;

[0112] Step S630, superimpose the compressor electric heating band power and the chassis electric heating band power to obtain the outdoor unit auxiliary electric heating power.

[0113] The compressor electric heating band is an electric heating element installed inside the compressor, mainly used to heat the inside of the compressor in low temperature environment, prevent condensate water from freezing or solidifying, and ensure the normal operation of the compressor. In winter or extremely cold environment, the role of electric heating band is particularly important, it usually starts automatically when the temperature drops to a certain extent, to ensure that the inside of the compressor maintains a suitable working temperature. The working principle of compressor electric heating band is mainly through the current flowing through the resistance wire to generate heat, and transfer the heat to the surrounding environment or object, to achieve the purpose of heating. It has the characteristics of high flexibility, high efficiency, energy saving, convenient control and long service life. The compressor electric heating band can be customized according to the required shape and size, to adapt to different equipment and places.

[0114] The chassis electric heating band is an important component in air conditioning system, mainly used to prevent the air conditioner outdoor unit chassis from icing in low temperature environment, affecting the normal operation and efficiency of air conditioner. Specifically: the role of chassis electric heating band includes: in winter heating state, prevent the chassis from icing after the condenser enters defrosting mode, to ensure the normal operation of the unit. Its working principle is: when the chassis electric heating band is powered on, the internal resistance wire generates heat to achieve the purpose of deicing.

[0115] In an embodiment, for the calculation of outdoor unit auxiliary electric heating power, the compressor electric heating band power and the chassis electric heating band power need to be calculated at the same time, and the sum of the two is the outdoor unit auxiliary electric heating power.

[0116] In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a flow chart of the electric quantity detection control method of the multi-connected air conditioner executed by the outdoor unit side according to another embodiment of the present application; regarding the above step S610, it can include but is not limited to step S710 and step S720.

[0117] Step S710, obtain the outdoor environment temperature;

[0118] Step S720, determine the working state of the compressor electric heating band and the chassis electric heating band according to the outdoor environment temperature.

[0119] In an embodiment, if the outdoor ambient temperature is low, it can cause frosting or icing, and therefore, the embodiment of the application needs to determine the working state of the compressor electric heating belt and the bottom plate electric heating belt according to the outdoor ambient temperature.

[0120] In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, which is a flowchart of the electric quantity detection control method of the multi-connected air conditioner executed by the outdoor unit side according to another embodiment of the application; regarding the above step S720, it can include but is not limited to step S810, step S820 and step S830.

[0121] Step S810, determining that the outdoor unit is in a standby state;

[0122] Step S820, when the outdoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature and less than or equal to a second preset temperature, performing the following loop operation: starting the compressor electric heating belt and the bottom plate electric heating belt and running for a first preset time, and then stopping the compressor electric heating belt and the bottom plate electric heating belt and stopping for a second preset time;

[0123] Step S830, when the outdoor ambient temperature is less than the first preset temperature, keeping starting the compressor electric heating belt and the bottom plate electric heating belt.

[0124] In an embodiment, in the case that the outdoor unit is in a standby state, if the outdoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature and less than or equal to a second preset temperature, that is, the outdoor ambient temperature is slightly low, at this time, the probability of frosting or icing is not high, and therefore, in order to prevent frosting or icing and at the same time to avoid high power consumption, the embodiment of the application will start the compressor electric heating belt and the bottom plate electric heating belt intermittently, for example, starting for a first preset time, then stopping for a second preset time, starting for a first preset time again, then stopping for a second preset time again, and so on. If the outdoor ambient temperature is less than the first preset temperature, at this time, the probability of frosting or icing is high, and therefore, in order to prevent frosting or icing, it is necessary to keep starting the compressor electric heating belt and the bottom plate electric heating belt.

[0125] It can be understood that, regarding the above first preset temperature and second preset temperature, the value of the first preset temperature is less than that of the second preset temperature, and the values of the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature can be preset, and the embodiment of the application does not make specific limitation thereon.

[0126] In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, which is a flowchart of the electric quantity detection control method of the multi-connected air conditioner executed by the outdoor unit side according to another embodiment of the application; regarding the above step S720, it can include but is not limited to step S910, step S920 and step S930.

[0136] In an embodiment, the outdoor unit can statistically obtain its total outdoor unit power, and can also receive the capability demand, i.e. energy demand, sent by each indoor unit. Then, the indoor units can superimpose the energy demand of all indoor units to obtain the total energy demand of all indoor units. If a certain indoor unit, i.e. target indoor unit, needs to display the power consumption, the outdoor unit can calculate the proportion of the sub-energy demand of the target indoor unit in the total energy demand of all indoor units, and then calculate the outdoor unit distribution power allocated to the target indoor unit by the product of the total outdoor unit power and the proportion.

[0142] In an embodiment, since there are various devices in the target indoor unit, there will be various consumptions, such as circuit board damage power, communication damage power or others. Therefore, the target indoor unit needs to superimpose the indoor unit loss power on the basis of the outdoor unit distribution power to obtain the total indoor unit power of the target indoor unit. After the total indoor unit power of the target indoor unit is calculated, the target indoor unit can also calculate the stage power consumption of each time stage according to the total indoor unit power, and then superimpose the stage power consumption on the basis of the pre-stored power value to obtain the total power consumption value of the target indoor unit.

[0151] In an embodiment, the temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature and the indoor set temperature is calculated, wherein one temperature difference corresponds to one capacity requirement range, and then the energy requirement reference value is determined according to the capacity requirement range. In the cooling mode, if the temperature difference corresponding to the capacity requirement range is larger, the energy requirement reference value is larger; if the temperature difference corresponding to the capacity requirement range is smaller, the energy requirement reference value is smaller.

[0156] In addition, the number of matches is related to the nominal refrigerating capacity of the target indoor unit, if the nominal refrigerating capacity is larger, the number of matches is larger; if the nominal refrigerating capacity is smaller, the number of matches is smaller.

[0157] Based on the power detection control method of the multi-connected air conditioner according to each of the above embodiments, the overall embodiment of the power detection control method of the multi-connected air conditioner of the present application is proposed as follows.

[0158] First, in order to facilitate subsequent description, the following parameters are defined: T1 is the indoor environment temperature; Ts is the indoor set temperature.

[0159] 1. Power detection function running logic overview:

[0160] The outdoor unit detects the total power of the outdoor unit, and distributes the power to the running terminal (indoor unit) according to the relevant rules, and the corresponding terminal (indoor unit) performs relevant calculation and correction according to its own rules, and finally displays the power consumption.

[0161] 2. Control logic:

[0162] After the unit is powered on, the power detection starts to work.

[0163] Detection cycle, when the total power of the outdoor unit is greater than the preset threshold, for example, the total power of the outdoor unit P ODU > 0.15kW, distribution is performed.

[0164] 2.1. Outdoor unit power calculation:

[0165] The total power of the outdoor unit P ODU is composed of the detection power of the compressor, the motor, the valve and the auxiliary electric heating, and the calculation method is as follows:

[0166] P ODU = Pmot0r +P 4WV +P PTC , wherein, P ODU is the total power of the outdoor unit, P motor is the total power of the compressor and the motor, P 4WV is the valve power of the outdoor unit, P PTC is the auxiliary electric heating power of the outdoor unit.

[0167] 1) The total power P motor of the compressor and the motor of the outdoor unit is detected by the PFC circuit of the main control board of the outdoor unit, and then calculated according to the power formula P motor = U * I, wherein the detection frequency can be 1 time / 2 seconds, and the range can be 1 time / 2-15 seconds.

[0168] 2) The valve power P 4WV = p * N of the outdoor unit is calculated according to the number N of valves that are currently powered on according to the outdoor unit mode, and then multiplied by the single valve power P1 to obtain the total valve power. For example, if the power of the four-way valve shown in FIG. 1 needs to be calculated, the specific calculation is shown in Table 1 below:

[0169] Table 1

[0170] 3) The auxiliary electric heating power P PTC = P2 + P3 of the outdoor unit is calculated according to the opening time of the electric heating of the outdoor unit, and the corresponding compressor electric heating band power P2 and chassis electric heating band power P3 are added, wherein different models correspond to different compressor electric heating band power P2 and chassis electric heating band power P3.

[0171] The specific control of the electric heating of the outdoor unit is as follows:

[0172] The electric heating band of the outdoor unit must meet the following conditions from off to on:

[0175] From the time the compressor enters the stop state, after t1 minutes (t1 can be in the range of 30-120 min, for example 60 min), if the temperature range is met, the bottom plate electric heating belt and the compressor electric heating belt are started, and after starting, they are run for at least t2 (t2 can be in the range of 3-15 min, for example 5 min) [wherein, during these t2 minutes, unless T4 > c (c can be in the range of 6-12°C, for example 8°C), the electric heating is not turned off], and then stopped for t1 minutes, and then judged to meet the temperature range, the electric heating belt is started. This cycle is repeated.

[0176] B. If T4 < a, the bottom plate electric heating belt and the compressor electric heating belt are always on.

[0177] C. If T4 < a becomes a ≤ T4 ≤ b, the electric heating belt is first forced to run for t2, and then stopped for t1 minutes, wherein if the running time has exceeded t2 minutes, it is immediately stopped.

[0178] (2) In the on state:

[0179] If T4 ≤ b, the bottom plate electric heating belt and the compressor electric heating belt are always on.

[0180] The condition for turning off the electric heating belt:

[0181] A. If the outdoor ambient temperature is higher than c, the bottom plate electric heating belt and the compressor electric heating belt are forced to be turned off.

[0183] 1), distribution rule

[0184] Refrigeration: calculate the total energy demand Q according to "the capacity demand of the indoor unit" c , and the energy demand Q of each indoor unit cn , then the allocated power P of each indoor unit corresponding to the outdoor unit CN = P ODU * Q cn / Q c .

[0185] Heating: calculate the total energy demand Q according to "the capacity demand of the indoor unit" H , and the energy demand Q of each indoor unit Hn , then the allocated power P of each indoor unit corresponding to the outdoor unit CN = P ODU * Q Hn / Q H .
