Further, when the determining module 10 determines that the current state of the first compressor 101 is the running state and the current state of the second compressor 102 is the shutdown state, the second control module 30 may be further configured to control the second expansion valve 104 to close after a third preset time to enable the multi-split air-conditioning system to enter the normal running stage.

And the fourth preset time can be calibrated according to the actual condition.

And simultaneously controlling the first expansion valve 103 and the second expansion valve 104 to be opened, and after a fourth preset time, controlling the first expansion valve 103 and the second expansion valve 104 to be closed so as to enable the multi-split air-conditioning system to enter a standby stage. Therefore, the third control module 40 can balance the pressure difference between the discharge gases of the first compressor and the second compressor within the fourth preset time, so as to prevent the first compressor 101 and the second compressor 102 from starting again with the pressure difference.
In summary, according to the control apparatus for an outdoor compressor in a multi-split system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the determining module determines current states of the first compressor and the second compressor, when the current states of the first compressor and the second compressor are both in the shutdown state, the first control module controls the first expansion valve and the second expansion valve to open, controls the first compressor to start after a first preset time, and controls the second compressor to start after a second preset time, when the current state of the first compressor is in the operating state, and the current state of the second compressor is in the shutdown state, the second control module controls the frequency of the first compressor to decrease to a preset value and the second expansion valve to open, controls the second compressor to start after the first preset time, and controls the first compressor to operate according to a preset program.

And then controlling the second compressor to start after the first preset time, and simultaneously controlling the first compressor to run according to a preset program, thereby realizing the pressure difference balance control when the second compressor starts when the first compressor runs.
Further, when the multi-split air-conditioning system judges that the current state of the first compressor is the operating state and the current state of the second compressor is the shutdown state, the method may further include controlling the second expansion valve to close after a third preset time so that the multi-split air-conditioning system enters a normal operation stage.
In summary, the control method for the outdoor compressor in the multi-split system provided by the embodiment of the invention can solve the problem of unloading balance of the pressure difference between the exhaust and the return of the compressor in the process from shutdown to startup, and improve the success rate of starting the compressor.
In addition, in order to achieve the discharge back pressure difference unloading balance after the compressor is stopped, in an embodiment of the present invention, the method for controlling an outdoor compressor in a multi-split air-conditioning system may further include controlling the first compressor and the second compressor to be in a stopped state and controlling the first expansion valve and the second expansion valve to be opened when the control command includes a compressor closing command, and controlling the first expansion valve and the second expansion valve to be closed after a fourth preset time to enable the multi-split air-conditioning system to enter a standby stage. And the fourth preset time can be calibrated according to the actual condition.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, when the multi-split air-conditioning system receives a control instruction including a compressor shutdown instruction sent by a main control program of the multi-split air-conditioning system, the first compressor and the second compressor are controlled to be in a shutdown state first, that is, when the first compressor and/or the second compressor are in an operating state, the first compressor and/or the second compressor are controlled to be shut down, so that the first compressor and the second compressor are controlled to be in the shutdown state. And simultaneously controlling the first expansion valve and the second expansion valve to be opened, and after a fourth preset time, controlling the first expansion valve and the second expansion valve to be closed so as to enable the multi-split system to enter a standby stage. Therefore, the multi-split system can realize the balance of the exhaust-return pressure difference of the first compressor and the second compressor within the fourth preset time, so that the first compressor and the second compressor can be prevented from starting again with the pressure difference.
