To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will combine the embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solution of the present invention. It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

According to the utility model discloses an embodiment provides an energy-saving control device. Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention is shown. The energy-saving control device may include: the device comprises a power generation unit, an energy storage unit and a control unit.

In an optional example, the power generation unit may be configured to recover at least a portion of energy dissipated by an outdoor unit of the air conditioner under a normal operation condition of the outdoor unit, and generate power by using at least a portion of energy recovered to obtain recovered power.

Alternatively, the power generation unit may include: a rotating module and a wind power generator.

Specifically, the rotating module is arranged at an air outlet of an outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and can be used for rotating under the driving of wind energy generated in the process of dissipating heat or cold by a fan of the outdoor unit under the condition that the outdoor unit of the air conditioner normally works to generate mechanical energy.

Specifically, the wind energy generator, which is respectively connected to the center of the rotating module and the energy storage unit, can be used for converting mechanical energy generated by the rotating module in the process of rotating motion into electric energy as recovered electric energy.

For example, the energy dissipated by the external unit can be recycled through the wind energy generator and the energy storage device, and the strong power supply can be completely cut off when the air conditioner is in a standby state.

More specifically, the rotating module may be a rotating blade 101 and the wind energy generator or wind power generator may be a generator 102. If a rotary blade 101 is added at the air outlet of the outdoor unit, when the outdoor unit normally works, heat or cold is dissipated by the fan, and wind energy is generated at the same time, so that the rotary blade 101 can be driven to rotate. The center of the rotating blade 101 is connected with a generator 102, and the generator 102 is connected to an energy storage device. The generator 102 converts the mechanical energy of the rotating blades 101 into electrical energy and stores it in an energy storage device.

Therefore, at least part of energy dissipated by the outdoor unit is recovered through the rotating module and the wind energy generator, and at least part of energy obtained through recovery is utilized for generating electricity, so that at least part of energy dissipated by the outdoor unit can be recovered and utilized, and waste of dissipated energy of the outdoor unit is reduced.

In an alternative example, the energy storage unit may be configured to store the recovered electric energy obtained by power generation, that is, store the recovered electric energy obtained by power generation.

In an optional example, the control unit may be configured to control the power generation unit to generate power and control the energy storage unit to store power when the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is operating normally. And under the condition that the outdoor unit and the indoor unit of the air conditioner meet the standby condition, controlling the power supply of the air conditioner to be disconnected and controlling the energy storage unit to supply power to the air conditioner. The outdoor unit circuit can be one, and the indoor unit circuit can be one.

For example, part of energy dissipated by the external unit is recovered and converted into electric energy to be stored for the external unit and the internal unit to use when in standby, and the standby energy consumption of the air conditioner is further reduced. The energy dissipation of the outdoor unit is reduced by recycling the energy; meanwhile, the recovered energy is converted into electric energy for standby use of the internal machine and the external machine, the standby electric energy of the air conditioner is provided by the consumed energy, extra electric energy is not consumed, the standby energy consumption of the air conditioner is further reduced, and the scheme has the advantages of obvious energy-saving effect, controllable cost and high practicability.

Therefore, part of energy dissipated by the outer unit is recycled and converted into electric energy to be stored for the outer unit and the inner unit to be used when the outer unit and the inner unit are in standby, the standby electric energy of the air conditioner can be provided by the lost energy, extra electric energy is not consumed any more, and the standby energy consumption of the air conditioner is reduced.

The indoor unit energy storage module may be the second energy storage device 208, the indoor unit energy storage control switch may be the fourth disconnect switch 212, and the outdoor unit main control module in the control unit may be the second MCU control unit 206. The first energy storage device 207 and the second energy storage device 208 are used as energy storage devices and can supply power to the central control module.

Specifically, the outdoor unit energy storage module is arranged on the outdoor unit side, is connected to the outdoor unit main control module in the control unit through the outdoor unit energy storage control switch, and can be used for supplying power to the outdoor unit main control module under the control of the outdoor unit energy storage control switch.

Further optionally, the control unit may further include: the outdoor unit power supply control switch, the indoor unit power supply control switch and the communication module. For example, the outdoor unit power supply control switch may be the first on/off switch 209.

The first MCU control unit 205 and the second MCU control unit 206, as central control modules, may be configured to control the operation of the air conditioner, and respectively control the on/off of the third on/off switch 211, the first on/off switch 209, the fourth on/off switch 212, and the second on/off switch 210.

Specifically, the outdoor unit power supply control switch is arranged on the outdoor unit side and can be used for controlling connection or disconnection between the alternating current power supply and the outdoor unit power supply module. For example, the ac power source may be commercial power introduced from the external power supply line 13. The outdoor unit power supply module may be the first filtering, rectifying and voltage-reducing unit 203, and may be configured to supply power to an outdoor unit main control module, such as the first MCU control unit 205, and other power consuming parts of the outdoor unit.

Specifically, the indoor unit power supply control switch is arranged on the indoor unit side and can be used for controlling connection or disconnection between the alternating current power supply and the indoor unit power supply module. For example, the indoor unit power supply module may be the second filtering, rectifying and voltage-reducing unit 204, and may be configured to supply power to the indoor unit main control module, such as the second MCU control unit 206, and other power consuming parts of the indoor unit.

For example, L, N may be used as power lines for connecting to the live and neutral lines of a power grid, respectively. The first filtering, rectifying and voltage-reducing unit 203 and the second filtering, rectifying and voltage-reducing unit 204 can be used for performing rectification filtering, alternating current-direct current conversion and voltage reduction on alternating current to supply power to a later-stage circuit.

Specifically, the communication module may be configured to implement information communication between the outdoor unit main control module and the indoor unit main control module. For example, the communication module may be a low-voltage communication line 214, and may be used to implement information transmission between the first MCU control unit 205 and the second MCU control unit 206.

More specifically, the air conditioner may include an outdoor unit circuit 201 and an indoor unit circuit 202, wherein a power wiring L, a common line N, and a ground line are connected between the outdoor unit circuit 201 and the indoor unit circuit 202, commercial power is connected through an external power line 213, and a low-voltage communication line 214 is connected between the outdoor unit circuit 201 and the indoor unit circuit 202. The outdoor unit circuit 201 may include a first filtering, rectifying and voltage-reducing unit 203, a first MCU control unit 205, a first energy storage device 207, a first on-off switch 209, and a third on-off switch 211. The first filtering, rectifying and voltage-reducing unit 203 is connected in parallel with the first MCU control unit 205, one end of the first filtering, rectifying and voltage-reducing unit 203 is connected to the power wiring L through the first on-off switch 209, the other end is connected to the common line, one end of the first energy storage device 207 is connected to the first MCU control unit 205 through the third on-off switch 211, and the other end is directly connected to the first MCU control unit 205. The indoor unit circuit 202 may include a second rectified and rectified voltage step-down unit 204, a second MCU control unit 206, a second energy storage device 208, a second on-off switch 210, and a fourth on-off switch 212. The second filtering, rectifying and voltage-reducing unit 204 is connected in parallel with the second MCU control unit 206, one end of the second filtering, rectifying and voltage-reducing unit 204 is connected to the power line L through a second on-off switch 210, the other end is connected to the common line, one end of the second energy storage device 208 is connected to the second MCU control unit 206 through a fourth on-off switch 212, and the other end is directly connected to the second MCU control unit 206.

Therefore, the communication and control between the indoor unit side and the outdoor unit side are realized through the outdoor unit power supply control switch, the indoor unit power supply control switch and the communication module, the energy consumption of the outdoor side can be at least partially used for standby power supply of the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, the energy consumption is reduced, and the environmental protection property is good.

Optionally, the controlling unit controls the power generating unit to generate power and controls the energy storage unit to store power may include: controlling both an outdoor unit power supply control switch and an indoor unit control switch to be switched on at the indoor unit side and the outdoor unit side so as to control a power generation unit to generate power under the condition that both the outdoor unit power supply control switch and the indoor unit control switch are switched on; and controlling the outdoor unit energy storage control switch and the indoor unit energy storage control switch to be switched off at the indoor unit side and the outdoor unit side so as to control the energy storage unit to store electricity under the condition that the outdoor unit energy storage control switch and the indoor unit energy storage control switch are switched off.

For example, the indoor and outdoor power wiring switches (e.g., the first on-off switch 209 at the power wiring L of the outdoor unit circuit 201 and the second on-off switch 210 at the power wiring L of the indoor unit circuit 202) are both on, and the energy storage device switches (e.g., the third on-off switch 211 at the first energy storage device 207 and the fourth on-off switch 212 at the second energy storage device 208) are both off. That is, when the air conditioner is operating normally, the first on-off switch 209 and the second on-off switch 210 are in an off state (i.e., in an on state), the third off switch 211 and the fourth off switch 212 are in an off state, the first MCU control unit 205 is powered by the first buck-rectifier unit 203, the second MCU control unit 206 is powered by the second buck-rectifier unit 204, and the first energy storage device 207 and the second energy storage device 208 store electric energy from the generator.

Therefore, the power supply of the inner machine side and the power supply of the outer machine side are used for supplying power and storing electricity for the energy storage module under the normal working condition, the normal work of the air conditioner is ensured, the energy consumption of the outdoor machine is at least partially recovered, and the air conditioner is reliable and environment-friendly.

Optionally, the controlling unit controls the power supply of the air conditioner to be disconnected and controls the energy storage unit to supply power to the air conditioner, and may include: when the operation signal of the user to the air conditioner is not received more than the first set time and the recovered electric energy in the energy storage unit is greater than or equal to the preset electric energy threshold value, controlling the indoor unit energy storage control switch to be switched on and then controlling the indoor unit power supply control switch to be switched off on the indoor unit side; and controlling the power supply control switch of the outdoor unit to be switched off after controlling the energy storage control switch of the outdoor unit to be switched on at the side of the outdoor unit.

For example, when the indoor unit circuit 202 receives a standby signal, the second MCU control unit 206 transmits information to the first MCU control unit 205 through the low voltage communication line 214, the second MCU control unit 206 controls the fourth off-switch 212 to be turned off, and then controls the second off-switch 210 to be turned off, the first MCU control unit 205 controls the third off-switch 211 to be turned off, and then controls the first on-switch 209 to be turned off, at this time, the first MCU control unit 205 is powered by the first energy storage device 207, the second MCU control unit 206 is powered by the second energy storage device 208, the power wiring L is in a state of being completely disconnected from the outdoor unit circuit 201 and the indoor unit circuit 202, and no more power is transmitted, and standby power consumption is completely provided by the first energy storage device 207 and the second energy storage device 208.

That is, the user's non-operation time t is greater than or equal to t1, and the energy storage device is sufficient in electricity, so that the indoor unit sends the switch command s1 to the outdoor unit. Such as: in case the indoor unit circuit 202 receives a standby signal, the second MCU control unit 206 in the indoor unit circuit 202 transmits information to the first MCU control unit 205 in the outdoor unit circuit 201 through the low voltage communication line 214. The indoor and outdoor energy storage device switches (e.g., the third on-off switch 211 at the first energy storage device 207 and the fourth on-off switch 212 at the second energy storage device 208) are both on, and the power wiring switches (e.g., the first on-off switch 209 at the power wiring L of the outdoor unit circuit 201 and the second on-off switch 210 at the power wiring L of the indoor unit circuit 202) are both off.

Therefore, the standby internal and external machines are powered by the recovered electric energy under the condition that the standby condition is met and the stored electric quantity of the recovered electric energy is enough, so that the electric quantity of the power supply is saved.

Further optionally, the controlling unit controls the power supply of the air conditioner to be disconnected and controls the energy storage unit to supply power to the air conditioner, and may further include: in the standby process of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit of the air conditioner, under the condition that a starting signal of the air conditioner is received and an operation signal of a user to the air conditioner is not received above a second set time period or under the condition that the electric energy recovered in the energy storage unit is reduced to be smaller than a preset electric energy threshold value, the power supply control switch of the indoor unit is controlled to be switched on and then the energy storage control switch of the indoor unit is controlled to be switched off on at the side of the indoor unit; and on the outdoor unit side, after the outdoor unit power supply control switch is controlled to be switched on, the outdoor unit energy storage control switch is controlled to be switched off, so that the power generation unit is controlled to continue to generate power under the condition that the outdoor unit power supply control switch and the indoor unit control switch are both switched on, and the energy storage unit is controlled to continue to store power under the condition that the outdoor unit energy storage control switch and the indoor unit energy storage control switch are both switched off.

For example, when a power-on signal is received or the electric energy of the energy storage devices (such as the first energy storage device 207 and the second energy storage device 208) is reduced to a preset threshold, the second MCU control unit 206 transmits the information to the first MCU control unit 205 through the low voltage communication line 214, the second MCU control unit 206 controls the second on-off switch 210 to be turned off and then controls the fourth on-off switch 212 to be turned off, the first MCU control unit 205 controls the first on-off switch 209 to be turned off and then controls the third on-off switch 211 to be turned off, at this time, the outdoor unit circuit 201 and the indoor unit circuit 202 are powered by the power wiring L, the first energy storage device 207 and the second energy storage device 208 do not provide electric energy any more, and the electric energy is converted to store electric energy from the.

Therefore, the normal work or reliable standby of the air conditioner can be ensured by receiving the starting signal in the standby state or utilizing the power supply to supply power to the internal and external units under the condition that the standby condition is met but the electric quantity of the stored recovered electric energy is insufficient.

Still further optionally, the controlling unit controls the power supply of the air conditioner to be disconnected and controls the energy storage unit to supply power to the air conditioner, and may further include: in the standby process of the outdoor unit and the indoor unit of the air conditioner, the outdoor unit control switch is controlled to be switched on and then the outdoor unit energy storage switch is controlled to be switched off under the condition that the outdoor unit load work of the air conditioner is required and the indoor unit is still in the standby state.

For example, when both the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner are in standby, for a specific reason, such as the need to electrically heat the compressor, the outdoor unit is required to operate under a load and the indoor unit is still in a standby state, at this time, the second MCU control unit 206 transmits information to the first MCU control unit 205 through the low voltage communication line 214, the first MCU control unit 205 controls the first on-off switch 209 to be turned off first and then controls the third off switch 211 to be turned off, at this time, the outdoor unit 201 is powered by the power wiring L, and the second MCU control unit 206 of the indoor unit 202 is still powered by the second energy storage device 208.

That is, when both the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner are in standby, the second MCU control unit 206 in the indoor unit circuit 202 transmits information to the first MCU control unit 205 in the outdoor unit circuit 201 through the low voltage communication line 214 when a power-on signal is received or the power of the energy storage devices (e.g., the first energy storage device 207 and the second energy storage device 208) drops to a preset threshold. The outdoor unit power wiring switch (e.g., the first on-off switch 209 at the power wiring L of the outdoor unit circuit 201) is turned on, and the energy storage device switch (e.g., the third on-off switch 211 at the first energy storage device 207 and the fourth on-off switch 212 at the second energy storage device 208) is turned off.

Generally speaking, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit are both powered by the power wiring in the initial state, when a correct standby operation signal is received and the electric quantity of the energy storage device is sufficient, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit are both switched to be powered by the energy storage device, otherwise, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit are kept in the initial state. Wherein, there are 3 kinds of situations under energy memory power supply state: in the first situation, if a correct starting operation signal is received, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit are switched to be powered by the power wiring, otherwise, the original state is kept. In the second situation, if the compressor needs to be electrically heated, the outdoor unit is switched to be powered by the power wiring, and the indoor unit is powered by the energy storage device until the first situation occurs or the energy storage device is insufficient in electric quantity. In the third situation, when the electric quantity of the energy storage device is insufficient, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit are directly switched to a state that both the outdoor unit and the indoor unit are powered by electric power wiring.

Therefore, under the condition that the standby condition is met but the load of the outdoor unit needs to work, the power supply of the outdoor unit is used for supplying power to the outdoor unit, and the power supply of the indoor unit is still supplied through the energy storage module of the indoor unit, so that the loss of the standby power supply of the indoor unit to the indoor unit is properly saved under the condition that the load of the outdoor unit works, and the energy-saving outdoor unit is reliable and energy-saving.

Through a large amount of experimental verifications, adopt the technical scheme of the utility model, through the partial energy recuperation with outer machine dissipation and convert the electric energy into and store, realize energy recuperation and utilize, reduced outer machine energy dissipation.

According to the utility model discloses an embodiment still provides an air conditioner corresponding to energy-saving control device. The air conditioner may include: the energy-saving control device is described above.

In an alternative embodiment, considering that some air conditioners consume more power, the energy dissipated by the outer unit is more, and the dissipated energy is not recycled. The utility model discloses a scheme provides an energy-conserving air conditioner and energy-conserving method, and the partial energy recuperation that becomes outer machine dissipation changes the electric energy and stores, uses when supplying outer machine and interior machine standby, has further reduced air conditioner standby energy consumption. Therefore, energy dissipation of the outdoor unit is reduced through energy recycling; meanwhile, the recovered energy is converted into electric energy for standby use of the internal machine and the external machine, the standby electric energy of the air conditioner is provided by the consumed energy, extra electric energy is not consumed, the standby energy consumption of the air conditioner is further reduced, and the scheme has the advantages of obvious energy-saving effect, controllable cost and high practicability.

In an optional example, the energy dissipated by the outer machine can be recycled through the wind energy generator and the energy storage device, and the strong power supply can be completely cut off when the air conditioner is in a standby state.

In an alternative embodiment, a specific implementation process of the scheme of the present invention can be exemplarily described with reference to the examples shown in fig. 2 to fig. 4.

In an optional specific example, referring to the example shown in fig. 2, the air conditioner according to the present invention adds a rotating blade 101 at the air outlet of the outdoor unit, and when the outdoor unit normally operates, the fan dissipates heat or cold, and generates wind energy to drive the rotating blade 101 to rotate. The center of the rotating blade 101 is connected with a generator 102, and the generator 102 is connected to an energy storage device.

Since the processing and functions of the air conditioner of this embodiment are basically corresponding to the embodiments, principles and examples of the apparatus shown in fig. 1, the description of this embodiment is not given in detail, and reference may be made to the related descriptions in the embodiments, which are not described herein again.

Through a large amount of tests verification, adopt the technical scheme of the utility model, through the energy conversion with retrieving the electric energy supplies the interior external machine standby to use, realize that air conditioner standby electric energy is provided by the energy that has lost, no longer consumes extra electric energy, further reduced the standby energy consumption of air conditioner, promote energy-conserving effect.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided an energy saving control method of an air conditioner corresponding to the air conditioner, as shown in fig. 5, the present invention provides a flow diagram of an embodiment of the method. The energy-saving control method of the air conditioner can comprise the following steps: step S110 to step S130.

At step S110, by the power generation unit, under a condition that the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is normally operated, at least a portion of energy dissipated by the outdoor unit is recovered, and at least a portion of energy obtained by the recovery is utilized to generate power, so as to obtain recovered electric energy.

At step S120, the recovered electric energy obtained by power generation is stored through the energy storage unit, that is, the recovered electric energy obtained by power generation is stored.

In step S130, the control unit controls the power generation unit to generate power and controls the energy storage unit to store power when the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is normally operated. And under the condition that the outdoor unit and the indoor unit of the air conditioner meet the standby condition, controlling the power supply of the air conditioner to be disconnected and controlling the energy storage unit to supply power to the air conditioner. The outdoor unit circuit can be one, and the indoor unit circuit can be one. Of course, the number of the indoor unit circuits can be flexibly set according to the needs, for example, the number of the indoor unit circuits can be multiple, at this time, the outdoor unit circuit 201 is provided with multiple low-voltage communication lines, each indoor unit circuit is connected with the outdoor unit circuit 201 through a communication line, and the energy storage device is connected with the generator.

For example, part of energy dissipated by the external unit is recovered and converted into electric energy to be stored for the external unit and the internal unit to use when in standby, and the standby energy consumption of the air conditioner is further reduced. The energy dissipation of the outdoor unit is reduced by recycling the energy; meanwhile, the recovered energy is converted into electric energy for standby use of the internal machine and the external machine, the standby electric energy of the air conditioner is provided by the consumed energy, extra electric energy is not consumed, the standby energy consumption of the air conditioner is further reduced, and the scheme has the advantages of obvious energy-saving effect, controllable cost and high practicability.

Therefore, part of energy dissipated by the outer unit is recycled and converted into electric energy to be stored for the outer unit and the inner unit to be used when the outer unit and the inner unit are in standby, the standby electric energy of the air conditioner can be provided by the lost energy, extra electric energy is not consumed any more, and the standby energy consumption of the air conditioner is reduced.

Alternatively, the controlling the power generation unit to generate power and the energy storage unit to store power in step S130 may include: controlling both an outdoor unit power supply control switch and an indoor unit control switch to be switched on at the indoor unit side and the outdoor unit side so as to control a power generation unit to generate power under the condition that both the outdoor unit power supply control switch and the indoor unit control switch are switched on; and controlling the outdoor unit energy storage control switch and the indoor unit energy storage control switch to be switched off at the indoor unit side and the outdoor unit side so as to control the energy storage unit to store electricity under the condition that the outdoor unit energy storage control switch and the indoor unit energy storage control switch are switched off.

For example, the indoor and outdoor power wiring switches (e.g., the first on-off switch 209 at the power wiring L of the outdoor unit circuit 201 and the second on-off switch 210 at the power wiring L of the indoor unit circuit 202) are both on, and the energy storage device switches (e.g., the third on-off switch 211 at the first energy storage device 207 and the fourth on-off switch 212 at the second energy storage device 208) are both off. That is, when the air conditioner is operating normally, the first on-off switch 209 and the second on-off switch 210 are in an off state (i.e., in an on state), the third off switch 211 and the fourth off switch 212 are in an off state, the first MCU control unit 205 is powered by the first buck-rectifier unit 203, the second MCU control unit 206 is powered by the second buck-rectifier unit 204, and the first energy storage device 207 and the second energy storage device 208 store electric energy from the generator.

Therefore, the power supply of the inner machine side and the power supply of the outer machine side are used for supplying power and storing electricity for the energy storage module under the normal working condition, the normal work of the air conditioner is ensured, the energy consumption of the outdoor machine is at least partially recovered, and the air conditioner is reliable and environment-friendly.

Alternatively, the step S130 of controlling the power supply of the air conditioner to be disconnected and controlling the energy storage unit to supply power to the air conditioner through the control unit may include: when the operation signal of the user to the air conditioner is not received more than the first set time and the recovered electric energy in the energy storage unit is greater than or equal to the preset electric energy threshold value, controlling the indoor unit energy storage control switch to be switched on and then controlling the indoor unit power supply control switch to be switched off on the indoor unit side; and controlling the power supply control switch of the outdoor unit to be switched off after controlling the energy storage control switch of the outdoor unit to be switched on at the side of the outdoor unit.

For example, when the indoor unit circuit 202 receives a standby signal, the second MCU control unit 206 transmits information to the first MCU control unit 205 through the low voltage communication line 214, the second MCU control unit 206 controls the fourth off-switch 212 to be turned off, and then controls the second off-switch 210 to be turned off, the first MCU control unit 205 controls the third off-switch 211 to be turned off, and then controls the first on-switch 209 to be turned off, at this time, the first MCU control unit 205 is powered by the first energy storage device 207, the second MCU control unit 206 is powered by the second energy storage device 208, the power wiring L is in a state of being completely disconnected from the outdoor unit circuit 201 and the indoor unit circuit 202, and no more power is transmitted, and standby power consumption is completely provided by the first energy storage device 207 and the second energy storage device 208.

That is, the user's non-operation time t is greater than or equal to t1, and the energy storage device is sufficient in electricity, so that the indoor unit sends the switch command s1 to the outdoor unit. Such as: in case the indoor unit circuit 202 receives a standby signal, the second MCU control unit 206 in the indoor unit circuit 202 transmits information to the first MCU control unit 205 in the outdoor unit circuit 201 through the low voltage communication line 214. The indoor and outdoor energy storage device switches (e.g., the third on-off switch 211 at the first energy storage device 207 and the fourth on-off switch 212 at the second energy storage device 208) are both on, and the power wiring switches (e.g., the first on-off switch 209 at the power wiring L of the outdoor unit circuit 201 and the second on-off switch 210 at the power wiring L of the indoor unit circuit 202) are both off.

Therefore, the standby internal and external machines are powered by the recovered electric energy under the condition that the standby condition is met and the stored electric quantity of the recovered electric energy is enough, so that the electric quantity of the power supply is saved.

Optionally, the step S130 of controlling the power supply of the air conditioner to be disconnected and controlling the energy storage unit to supply power to the air conditioner through the control unit may further include: in the standby process of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit of the air conditioner, under the condition that a starting signal of the air conditioner is received and an operation signal of a user to the air conditioner is not received above a second set time period or under the condition that the electric energy recovered in the energy storage unit is reduced to be smaller than a preset electric energy threshold value, the power supply control switch of the indoor unit is controlled to be switched on and then the energy storage control switch of the indoor unit is controlled to be switched off on at the side of the indoor unit; and on the outdoor unit side, after the outdoor unit power supply control switch is controlled to be switched on, the outdoor unit energy storage control switch is controlled to be switched off, so that the power generation unit is controlled to continue to generate power under the condition that the outdoor unit power supply control switch and the indoor unit control switch are both switched on, and the energy storage unit is controlled to continue to store power under the condition that the outdoor unit energy storage control switch and the indoor unit energy storage control switch are both switched off.

For example, when a power-on signal is received or the electric energy of the energy storage devices (such as the first energy storage device 207 and the second energy storage device 208) is reduced to a preset threshold, the second MCU control unit 206 transmits the information to the first MCU control unit 205 through the low voltage communication line 214, the second MCU control unit 206 controls the second on-off switch 210 to be turned off and then controls the fourth on-off switch 212 to be turned off, the first MCU control unit 205 controls the first on-off switch 209 to be turned off and then controls the third on-off switch 211 to be turned off, at this time, the outdoor unit circuit 201 and the indoor unit circuit 202 are powered by the power wiring L, the first energy storage device 207 and the second energy storage device 208 do not provide electric energy any more, and the electric energy is converted to store electric energy from the.

Therefore, the normal work or reliable standby of the air conditioner can be ensured by receiving the starting signal in the standby state or utilizing the power supply to supply power to the internal and external units under the condition that the standby condition is met but the electric quantity of the stored recovered electric energy is insufficient.

Further optionally, the step S130 of controlling, by the control unit, the power supply of the air conditioner to be disconnected and controlling the energy storage unit to supply power to the air conditioner may further include: in the standby process of the outdoor unit and the indoor unit of the air conditioner, the outdoor unit control switch is controlled to be switched on and then the outdoor unit energy storage switch is controlled to be switched off under the condition that the outdoor unit load work of the air conditioner is required and the indoor unit is still in the standby state.

For example, when both the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner are in standby, for a specific reason, such as the need to electrically heat the compressor, the outdoor unit is required to operate under a load and the indoor unit is still in a standby state, at this time, the second MCU control unit 206 transmits information to the first MCU control unit 205 through the low voltage communication line 214, the first MCU control unit 205 controls the first on-off switch 209 to be turned off first and then controls the third off switch 211 to be turned off, at this time, the outdoor unit 201 is powered by the power wiring L, and the second MCU control unit 206 of the indoor unit 202 is still powered by the second energy storage device 208.

That is, when both the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner are in standby, the second MCU control unit 206 in the indoor unit circuit 202 transmits information to the first MCU control unit 205 in the outdoor unit circuit 201 through the low voltage communication line 214 when a power-on signal is received or the power of the energy storage devices (e.g., the first energy storage device 207 and the second energy storage device 208) drops to a preset threshold. The outdoor unit power wiring switch (e.g., the first on-off switch 209 at the power wiring L of the outdoor unit circuit 201) is turned on, and the energy storage device switch (e.g., the third on-off switch 211 at the first energy storage device 207 and the fourth on-off switch 212 at the second energy storage device 208) is turned off.

Generally speaking, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit are both powered by the power wiring in the initial state, when a correct standby operation signal is received and the electric quantity of the energy storage device is sufficient, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit are both switched to be powered by the energy storage device, otherwise, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit are kept in the initial state. Wherein, there are 3 kinds of situations under energy memory power supply state: in the first situation, if a correct starting operation signal is received, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit are switched to be powered by the power wiring, otherwise, the original state is kept. In the second situation, if the compressor needs to be electrically heated, the outdoor unit is switched to be powered by the power wiring, and the indoor unit is powered by the energy storage device until the first situation occurs or the energy storage device is insufficient in electric quantity. In the third situation, when the electric quantity of the energy storage device is insufficient, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit are directly switched to a state that both the outdoor unit and the indoor unit are powered by electric power wiring.

Therefore, under the condition that the standby condition is met but the load of the outdoor unit needs to work, the power supply of the outdoor unit is used for supplying power to the outdoor unit, and the power supply of the indoor unit is still supplied through the energy storage module of the indoor unit, so that the loss of the standby power supply of the indoor unit to the indoor unit is properly saved under the condition that the load of the outdoor unit works, and the energy-saving outdoor unit is reliable and energy-saving.
