Detailed Description
It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
The invention provides a control method of a multi-connected air conditioner, which is applied to a multi-connected air conditioner system, wherein the multi-connected air conditioner system comprises at least two outdoor units connected in parallel and at least two indoor units connected in parallel, and the indoor units and the outdoor units are connected in series in a one-to-one correspondence manner; the pipeline structure of the outdoor unit comprises a gas-liquid separator 20, a compressor unit, an outdoor heat exchanger 30, a reversing valve 40, an electronic expansion valve 50, an injection electronic expansion valve 60, a high-pressure stop valve 70 and a low-pressure stop valve 80; the reversing valve is a four-way valve. The outdoor unit pipes are connected in a conventional manner in the art, and are not described in detail herein with reference to fig. 1. In addition, the multi-connected air conditioner in the embodiment is an enhanced vapor injection system, and the compressor in the compressor unit is an enhanced vapor injection compressor. In this enhanced vapor injection system, the electronic expansion valves include a jet electronic expansion valve 60 and a conventional electronic expansion valve 50. The control of the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve described in the present embodiment refers to the control of the opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve 60.
In a first embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the control method of the multi-connected air conditioner includes the steps of:
step S10, detecting whether the superheat degree of each outdoor unit meets the target requirement;
in this embodiment, it is first detected whether the degree of superheat of each of the outdoor units meets a target requirement, so as to determine whether the compressor of each of the outdoor units is in a normal operating state. When the degree of superheat of the outdoor unit is higher than the target value, the degree of superheat of the outdoor unit may be too high due to different resistances of refrigerant flow pipes or different indoor loads, and a compressor of the outdoor unit may be in an overload state. In this case, the flux of the refrigerant should be adjusted so that the degree of superheat of the outdoor unit reaches a target value. Secondly, if the degree of superheat of the outdoor unit is less than a target value, the compressor may be damaged due to the refrigerant flowing into the compressor in a gas-liquid two-phase state; therefore, the flux of the refrigerant in the compressor needs to be reduced to prevent the refrigerant from flowing into the compressor as a gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant and damaging the entire system. And only when the superheat degree of each outdoor unit reaches the target requirement, continuing the next operation, otherwise, adjusting the superheat degree of the compressor to reach the target requirement.
Step S20, when the superheat degree of each outdoor unit meets the target requirement, performing a first judgment whether the difference between the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value;
and when the superheat degree of each outdoor unit meets the target requirement, further judging whether the difference value between the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value. The preset value can be set as required, and when the difference between the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system is within the preset value, it indicates that the difference between the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system is not large, and the difference falls within an acceptable fluctuation range, and then the operation of the outdoor unit is not required to be adjusted. However, if the difference between the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system exceeds the preset value, it indicates that the deviation of the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit from the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system is large at this time, which may affect the normal operation of the outdoor unit, and therefore measures need to be taken to adjust the discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system to the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system.
Step S30, when the difference between the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value, performing a second determination as to whether the degree of superheat of the passage in which the electronic expansion valve of each outdoor unit is located is greater than the first preset value;
on the basis of the first judgment of the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system, whether the superheat degree of a passage where an electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit is located is larger than a first preset value or not is further judged, wherein the electronic expansion valve refers to an injection electronic expansion valve in the system. The first preset value defines the state that the injection electronic expansion valve is operable, namely, the opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve can be adjusted when the injection electronic expansion valve is larger than the first preset value.
The superheat of the injection electronic expansion valve is defined as follows: referring to fig. 1, the difference between the temperatures T1 and T2 detected at the injection electronic expansion valve is the superheat of the passage in which the injection electronic expansion valve is located.
Step S40, performing a third judgment on whether the superheat degree of a passage where the electronic expansion valve of each outdoor unit is located is larger than a first preset value and the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit is larger than the average discharge temperature of an outdoor unit system;
further, when the difference between the obtained average discharge temperature of the outdoor units and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value, whether the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit is greater than the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system is judged. It should be noted that, the judgment of whether the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit is greater than the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system is performed separately to judge the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system, and the judgment of each outdoor unit is independent. And if the difference value between the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value, the outdoor unit is judged to need to be adjusted so that the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit tends to the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system.
Wherein the average discharge temperature of each of the outdoor units is an average value of discharge temperatures of compressors therein. If three outdoor units exist, the average exhaust temperatures of the three outdoor units are TP1, TP2 and TP3, each outdoor unit comprises two compressors, and the exhaust temperatures of the compressors are TP1C1, TP1C2, TP2C1, TP2C2, TP3C1 and TP3C2, respectively, then the average exhaust temperatures of the three outdoor units TP1 are (TP1C1+ TP1C2)/2, TP2 is (TP2C1+ TP2C2)/2, and TP3 is (TP3C1+ TP3C 2)/2. The average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system is an average value of the average discharge temperatures of the three outdoor units, and TP represents (TP1+ TP2+ TP3)/3, where TP represents the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system.
Step S50, if the third determination result is "yes", increasing the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve; and if the third judgment result is 'no', reducing the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.
The processing method of the judgment result is as follows: if the third determination result is yes, that is, the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit is higher than the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system, it indicates that the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit is higher than the discharge temperature of the entire outdoor unit system, which indicates that the outdoor unit has less refrigerant, and thus the refrigerant flux needs to be increased. It is further judged in this case whether the degree of superheat of the passage in which the injection electronic expansion valve is located reaches the first preset value. When the superheat degree of a passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located does not reach a first preset value, because the refrigerant flowing through the injection electronic expansion valve is directly injected back to the compressor, if the superheat degree of the injection electronic expansion valve is not within the first preset value, if the injection electronic expansion valve is opened, the refrigerant may flow into the compressor in a liquid state, liquid accumulation is generated in the compressor, and the compressor is damaged. Therefore, before the injection electronic expansion valve is opened, whether a passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located reaches a first preset value or not needs to be judged, and when the injection electronic expansion valve reaches the first preset value, the injection electronic expansion valve is controlled to increase the preset opening degree on the basis of the current opening degree so as to increase the refrigerant flowing into the compressor of the outdoor unit from the current opening degree, and further reduce the exhaust temperature of the compressor of the outdoor unit.
In addition, when the third determination is "no", that is, when the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit is lower than the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system, it indicates that the discharge temperature of the compressor of the outdoor unit is too low, that is, the amount of refrigerant of the compressor of the outdoor unit is large, and thus it is necessary to reduce the flow rate of refrigerant of the compressor of the outdoor unit by controlling the valve. Similarly, before controlling the injection electronic expansion valve, whether the superheat degree of the passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located reaches a first preset value is judged, and when the superheat degree of the passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located reaches the first preset value, the opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve is reduced on the basis of the current opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve, so that the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing into the compressor of the outdoor unit is reduced.
It should be noted that, when the superheat degree of the path where the injection electronic expansion valve is located does not reach the first preset value, the flow rate of the refrigerant of the compressor of the outdoor unit can be controlled by controlling the opening degree of the conventional electronic expansion valve on the main path, or the discharge temperature of the compressor can be balanced by controlling the frequency of the compressor.
It should be further noted that, in this embodiment, the setting of the first preset value of the superheat degree of the passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located may be changed along with the change of the ambient temperature, and the standard of the first preset value is generally greater than 5 ℃, and may be specifically set according to the requirement.
In addition, when the superheat degree of the passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located does not reach the first preset value, whether the superheat degree of the passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located is smaller than a second preset value is further judged, wherein the second preset value is a positive number related to the first preset value, and the second preset value is smaller than the first preset value. And when the superheat degree of the passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located is smaller than a second preset value, keeping the current opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve unchanged.
The embodiment detects whether the superheat degree of each outdoor unit meets the target requirement; when the superheat degree of each outdoor unit meets a target requirement, first judgment is made whether the difference value between the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value; when the difference value between the average exhaust temperature of each outdoor unit and the average exhaust temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value, performing second judgment on whether the superheat degree of a passage where the electronic expansion valve of each outdoor unit is located is larger than a first preset value; when the superheat degree of a passage where the electronic expansion valve of each outdoor unit is located is larger than a first preset value, third judgment is carried out to judge whether the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit is larger than the average discharge temperature of an outdoor unit system; when the third judgment result is yes, increasing the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve; and if the third judgment result is 'no', reducing the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve. The method solves the problem of uneven refrigerant distribution in the multi-connected air-conditioning system, and particularly realizes effective control of the exhaust temperature of the system by controlling the opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve in the injection enthalpy-increasing multi-connected air-conditioning system.
Further, referring to fig. 3, based on the first embodiment of the method for controlling a multi-connected air conditioner of the present invention, in the second embodiment of the method for controlling a multi-connected air conditioner of the present invention, the step S10 includes:
step S11, acquiring a discharge temperature of each outdoor unit;
step S12, comparing the obtained discharge temperatures to obtain the lowest discharge temperature of all the outdoor units;
and step S13, detecting whether the degree of superheat of the outdoor unit corresponding to the minimum discharge temperature meets a target requirement.
In this embodiment, the discharge temperature of each outdoor unit is obtained, and then the lowest discharge temperature among all the discharge temperatures is obtained by comparing the obtained discharge temperatures, so as to further determine whether the superheat degree of the outdoor unit corresponding to the lowest discharge temperature meets the target requirement. If the superheat degree of the outdoor unit corresponding to the lowest discharge temperature can meet the target requirement, it indicates that the superheat degrees of the outdoor units corresponding to the other discharge temperatures higher than the lowest discharge temperature can also meet the target requirement. Therefore, it is only necessary to determine whether the degree of superheat of the outdoor unit corresponding to the minimum discharge temperature meets the target requirement.
In the above, the average value of the discharge temperatures of all the compressors of each outdoor unit, which is referred to in the discharge temperature of each outdoor unit, is obtained, and the lowest discharge temperature is obtained by comparison among the discharge temperatures of all the outdoor units.
In this embodiment, by obtaining the lowest discharge temperature among the discharge temperatures of all the outdoor units, and determining whether the degree of superheat of the outdoor unit corresponding to the lowest discharge temperature meets the target requirement, when the degree of superheat of the outdoor unit corresponding to the lowest discharge temperature meets the target requirement, it may be determined that the degrees of superheat of other outdoor units all meet the target requirement. The superheat degree of all outdoor units does not need to be judged, and the operation efficiency is improved.
Further, referring to fig. 4, based on the second embodiment of the method for controlling a multi-connected air conditioner of the present invention, in the third embodiment of the method for controlling a multi-connected air conditioner of the present invention, the step S20 includes:
step S21, acquiring an average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and an average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system;
step S22, obtaining an absolute value of a difference between the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system according to the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system;
and step S23, judging whether the absolute value reaches a preset value.
In this embodiment, before the step of determining the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system, it is determined whether an absolute value of a difference between the average discharge temperature of the outdoor units and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value. If the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit is not equal to the preset value, the difference between the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system is small, and the difference between the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system is in a fluctuation range. When the absolute value of the difference value between the average discharge temperature of the compressor of the outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value, the judgment of the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system is carried out.
The preset range can be set according to system requirements, and the preset range can enable the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit to have a fluctuation value in the upper and lower ranges of the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system, so as to ensure the stability of system control.
Further, referring to fig. 5, in a fourth embodiment of the method for controlling a multi-split air conditioner according to the present invention, in the step S50, the method further includes:
step S51, when the third determination result is "yes", determining whether the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit is smaller than the maximum opening degree;
and step S52, when the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit is smaller than the maximum opening degree, controlling the electronic expansion valve to increase the opening degree based on the current opening degree.
In this embodiment, when the average discharge temperature of the compressor of the outdoor unit is higher than the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system and the superheat degree of the passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located is higher than the first preset value, it is further determined whether the current opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve has reached the maximum opening degree that can be reached by the injection electronic expansion valve. When the injection electronic expansion valve reaches the maximum opening degree which can be reached by the injection electronic expansion valve, the injection electronic expansion valve is indicated to be incapable of increasing the opening degree. Therefore, the injection electronic expansion valve can be continuously controlled to increase the opening degree only when the current opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve does not reach the maximum opening degree.
When detecting that the injection electronic expansion valve has not reached the maximum opening degree, the injection electronic expansion valve is controlled to increase the opening degree based on the current opening degree to increase the refrigerant flow rate of the compressor of the outdoor unit to lower the discharge temperature thereof.
In the embodiment, whether the opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve reaches the maximum opening degree is judged, and whether the injection electronic expansion valve can be opened continuously is further judged.

and step S54, when the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit is greater than the minimum opening degree, controlling the electronic expansion valve to decrease the opening degree based on the current opening degree.
In this embodiment, when the average discharge temperature of the compressor of the outdoor unit is lower than the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system and the superheat degree of the passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located is higher than the first preset value, it is further determined whether the current opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve has reached the minimum opening degree that can be reached by the injection electronic expansion valve. When the injection electronic expansion valve reaches the minimum opening degree which can be reached by the injection electronic expansion valve, the injection electronic expansion valve is indicated to be incapable of reducing the opening degree at the moment. Therefore, the injection electronic expansion valve can be continuously controlled to reduce the opening degree only when the current opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve does not reach the minimum opening degree.
When detecting that the injection electronic expansion valve has not reached the maximum opening degree, the injection electronic expansion valve is controlled to increase the opening degree based on the current opening degree to increase the refrigerant flow rate of the compressor of the outdoor unit to lower the discharge temperature thereof.
In this embodiment, whether the opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve reaches the minimum opening degree is determined, and then whether the injection electronic expansion valve can be closed continuously is determined.

Detecting whether the superheat degree of each outdoor unit meets a target requirement or not;
when the superheat degree of each outdoor unit meets a target requirement, first judgment is made whether the difference value between the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value;
when the difference value between the average exhaust temperature of each outdoor unit and the average exhaust temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value, performing second judgment on whether the superheat degree of a passage where the electronic expansion valve of each outdoor unit is located is larger than a first preset value;
performing third judgment on whether the superheat degree of a passage where the electronic expansion valve of each outdoor unit is located is larger than a first preset value and the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit is larger than the average discharge temperature of an outdoor unit system or not;
when the third judgment result is yes, increasing the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve; and if the third judgment result is 'no', reducing the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.
In this embodiment, it is first detected whether the degree of superheat of each of the outdoor units meets a target requirement, so as to determine whether the compressor of each of the outdoor units is in a normal operating state. When the degree of superheat of the outdoor unit is higher than the target value, the degree of superheat of the outdoor unit may be too high due to different resistances of refrigerant flow pipes or different indoor loads, and a compressor of the outdoor unit may be in an overload state. In this case, the flux of the refrigerant should be adjusted so that the degree of superheat of the outdoor unit reaches a target value. Secondly, if the degree of superheat of the outdoor unit is less than a target value, the compressor may be damaged due to the refrigerant flowing into the compressor in a gas-liquid two-phase state; therefore, the flux of the refrigerant in the compressor needs to be reduced to prevent the refrigerant from flowing into the compressor as a gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant and damaging the entire system. And only when the superheat degree of each outdoor unit reaches the target requirement, continuing the next operation, otherwise, adjusting the superheat degree of the compressor to reach the target requirement.
When the superheat degree of each outdoor unit reaches a target requirement, and when the superheat degree of each outdoor unit reaches the target requirement, whether the difference value between the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value is further judged. The preset value can be set according to needs, when the difference between the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system is within the preset value, it is indicated that the difference between the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system is not large at the moment, and the difference belongs to an acceptable toggle range, and at the moment, the operation of the outdoor units is not required to be adjusted. However, if the difference between the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system exceeds the preset value, it indicates that the deviation of the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit from the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system is large at this time, which may affect the normal operation of the outdoor unit, and therefore measures need to be taken to adjust the discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system to the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system.
On the basis of the first judgment of the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system, whether the superheat degree of a passage where an electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit is located is larger than a first preset value or not is further judged, wherein the electronic expansion valve refers to an injection electronic expansion valve in the system. The first preset value defines the state that the injection electronic expansion valve is operable, namely, the opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve can be adjusted when the injection electronic expansion valve is larger than the first preset value.
The superheat of the injection electronic expansion valve is defined as follows: referring to fig. 1, the difference between the temperatures T1 and T2 detected at the injection electronic expansion valve is the superheat of the passage in which the injection electronic expansion valve is located.
Further, when the difference between the obtained average discharge temperature of the outdoor units and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value, whether the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit is greater than the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system is judged. It should be noted that, the judgment of whether the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit is greater than the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system is performed separately to judge the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system, and the judgment of each outdoor unit is independent. And if the difference value between the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value, the outdoor unit is judged to need to be adjusted so that the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit tends to the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system.
Wherein the average discharge temperature of each of the outdoor units is an average value of discharge temperatures of compressors therein. If three outdoor units exist, the average exhaust temperatures of the three outdoor units are TP1, TP2 and TP3, each outdoor unit comprises two compressors, and the exhaust temperatures of the compressors are TP1C1, TP1C2, TP2C1, TP2C2, TP3C1 and TP3C2, respectively, then the average exhaust temperatures of the three outdoor units TP1 are (TP1C1+ TP1C2)/2, TP2 is (TP2C1+ TP2C2)/2, and TP3 is (TP3C1+ TP3C 2)/2. The average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system is an average value of the average discharge temperatures of the three outdoor units, and TP represents (TP1+ TP2+ TP3)/3, where TP represents the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system.
The processing method of the judgment result is as follows: if the third determination result is yes, that is, the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit is higher than the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system, it indicates that the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit is higher than the discharge temperature of the entire outdoor unit system, which indicates that the outdoor unit has less refrigerant, and thus the refrigerant flux needs to be increased. It is further judged in this case whether the degree of superheat of the passage in which the injection electronic expansion valve is located reaches the first preset value. When the superheat degree of a passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located does not reach a first preset value, because the refrigerant flowing through the injection electronic expansion valve is directly injected back to the compressor, if the superheat degree of the injection electronic expansion valve is not within the first preset value, if the injection electronic expansion valve is opened, the refrigerant may flow into the compressor in a liquid state, so that liquid accumulation is generated in the compressor, and the compressor is damaged. Therefore, before the injection electronic expansion valve is opened, whether a passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located reaches a first preset value or not needs to be judged, and when the injection electronic expansion valve reaches the first preset value, the injection electronic expansion valve is controlled to increase the preset opening degree on the basis of the current opening degree so as to increase the refrigerant flowing into the compressor of the outdoor unit from the current opening degree and reduce the exhaust temperature of the compressor of the outdoor unit.
In addition, when the third determination is "no", that is, when the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit is lower than the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system, it indicates that the discharge temperature of the compressor of the outdoor unit is too low, that is, the amount of refrigerant of the compressor of the outdoor unit is large, and thus it is necessary to reduce the flow rate of refrigerant of the compressor of the outdoor unit by controlling the valve. Similarly, before controlling the injection electronic expansion valve, whether the superheat degree of the passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located reaches a first preset value is judged, and when the superheat degree of the passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located reaches the first preset value, the opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve is reduced on the basis of the current opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve, so that the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing into the compressor of the outdoor unit is reduced.
It should be noted that, when the superheat degree of the path where the injection electronic expansion valve is located does not reach the first preset value, the flow rate of the refrigerant of the compressor of the outdoor unit can be controlled by controlling the opening degree of the conventional electronic expansion valve on the main path, or the discharge temperature of the compressor can be balanced by controlling the frequency of the compressor.
It should be further noted that, in this embodiment, the setting of the first preset value of the superheat degree of the passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located may be changed along with the change of the ambient temperature, and the standard of the first preset value is generally greater than 5 ℃, and may be specifically set according to the requirement.
In addition, when the superheat degree of the passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located does not reach the first preset value, whether the superheat degree of the passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located is smaller than a second preset value is further judged, wherein the second preset value is a positive number related to the first preset value, and the second preset value is smaller than the first preset value. And when the superheat degree of the passage where the injection electronic expansion valve is located is smaller than a second preset value, keeping the current opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve unchanged.
The embodiment detects whether the superheat degree of each outdoor unit meets the target requirement; when the superheat degree of each outdoor unit meets a target requirement, first judgment is made whether the difference value between the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value; when the difference value between the average exhaust temperature of each outdoor unit and the average exhaust temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value, performing second judgment on whether the superheat degree of a passage where the electronic expansion valve of each outdoor unit is located is larger than a first preset value; performing third judgment on whether the superheat degree of a passage where the electronic expansion valve of each outdoor unit is located is larger than a first preset value and the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit is larger than the average discharge temperature of an outdoor unit system or not; when the third judgment result is yes, increasing the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve; and if the third judgment result is 'no', reducing the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve. The method solves the problem of uneven refrigerant distribution in the multi-connected air-conditioning system, and particularly realizes effective control of the exhaust temperature of the system by controlling the opening degree of the injection electronic expansion valve in the injection enthalpy-increasing multi-connected air-conditioning system.

obtaining the lowest discharge temperature of all the outdoor units according to the obtained discharge temperature comparison;
and detecting whether the superheat degree of the outdoor unit corresponding to the lowest exhaust temperature meets a target requirement or not.
In this embodiment, the discharge temperature of each outdoor unit is obtained, and then the lowest discharge temperature among all the discharge temperatures is obtained by comparing the obtained discharge temperatures, so as to further determine whether the superheat degree of the outdoor unit corresponding to the lowest discharge temperature meets the target requirement. If the superheat degree of the outdoor unit corresponding to the lowest discharge temperature can meet the target requirement, it indicates that the superheat degrees of the outdoor units corresponding to the other discharge temperatures higher than the lowest discharge temperature can also meet the target requirement. Therefore, it is only necessary to determine whether the degree of superheat of the outdoor unit corresponding to the minimum discharge temperature meets the target requirement.
In the above, the discharge temperatures of all the outdoor units of each outdoor unit, which are referred to in the discharge temperature of each of the outdoor units, are obtained, and the lowest discharge temperature is obtained by comparison among the discharge temperatures of all the outdoor units.

In this embodiment, before the step of determining the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system, it is determined whether an absolute value of a difference between the average discharge temperature of the outdoor units and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value.

When the absolute value of the difference value between the average discharge temperature of the compressor of the outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system reaches a preset value, the judgment of the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit and the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system is carried out.
The preset range can be set according to system requirements, and the preset range can enable the average discharge temperature of each outdoor unit to have a fluctuation value in the upper and lower ranges of the average discharge temperature of the outdoor unit system, so as to ensure the stability of system control.

When the injection electronic expansion valve reaches the maximum opening degree which can be reached by the injection electronic expansion valve, the injection electronic expansion valve is indicated to be incapable of increasing the opening degree.
