An indoor unit formed by connecting a plurality of indoor units 1, 2 and 3 in parallel and an outdoor unit formed by connecting a plurality of outdoor units 4 and 5 in parallel are connected with each other to form a fluorine system.
The main pipeline 11, 12 comprises an inlet pipeline 11 and an outlet pipeline 12, and a main pipeline valve is arranged on each of the two pipelines 11, 12. Each indoor unit branch pipe 13, 14 comprises an inlet pipe 13 and an outlet pipe 14, and an indoor unit branch pipe valve 7, 8 is arranged on the inlet pipe 13 and the outlet pipe 14. Each outdoor unit branch pipe 15, 16 includes an inlet pipe 15 and an outlet pipe 16, and an outdoor unit branch pipe valve 9, 10 is provided thereon.
The main pipeline valve and the branch pipeline valves 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the indoor unit and the outdoor unit can be flow regulating valves which have the functions of connection, disconnection and flow regulation.
The outdoor units 4 and 5 supply refrigerant liquid to the indoor units 1, 2 and 3 through pipes 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16, and the flow rate of the refrigerant is controlled to meet the indoor cooling/heating load demand. The flow of the refrigerant after the unit is connected into the system is controlled by valves 7, 8, 9 and 10. When the unit valves 7, 8, 9, 10 are closed, the system refrigerant does not flow through the unit, which corresponds to shielding the unit from the refrigerant system. Thus, if a single unit fails, the valves 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the unit are closed, and the failure does not affect the operation of the whole system.
The central processing unit 6 is in communication with each of the indoor units 1, 2, 3 and the outdoor units 4, 5, and the central control unit 6 is in communication with a failure detection unit comprising at least one sensor for detecting the state of the outdoor unit 4, 5 or the indoor unit 1, 2, 3.
The internal default of the software of the central control unit 6 is to divide all faults of the unit into two types, one type is maskable operation fault, and the other type is non-maskable operation fault.
The failure of the individual indoor units 1, 2, 3 or the outdoor units 4, 5 is a maskable failure, and if the failure such as system pressure is the non-maskable failure.
In addition, a wireless communication section is included for transmitting the state detected by the sensor to the central control unit 6.
In addition, a manual control unit is included for manually controlling the indoor units 1, 2, 3 and the outdoor units 4, 5.
As shown in fig. 2, a flow chart of a control method of an air conditioner is as follows: the method comprises the following steps:
a, a fault detection unit detects an air conditioner in real time;
when a fault occurs, the fault detection unit gives an alarm, and transmits the detected fault information to the central control unit 6 to judge whether the fault is a maskable operation fault, if so, the step C is carried out; if not, entering a unit continuous fault mode, and not continuing to operate until the fault is solved and then recovering to operate;
c, the central control unit 6 prompts whether to enter a standby running mode or not, and if so, the step D is carried out; if not, entering a unit continuous fault mode, and not continuing to operate until the fault is solved and then recovering to operate;
d, entering a standby operation mode.
The standby operation mode specifically comprises the following steps: and shielding the indoor units 1, 2 and 3 or the outdoor units 4 and 5 related to the faults from an operating system of the air conditioning device, and re-debugging the operating system and re-operating the operating system after completing address selection.
The specific way to shield the indoor units 1, 2, 3 or the outdoor units 4, 5 involved in the above-mentioned failure from the operating system of the air conditioning apparatus is: the respective valve 7, 8, 9, 10 is opened.
When the fault is the fault of the indoor units 1, 2 and 3, the valves 7 and 8 of the fault indoor units 1, 2 and 3 are disconnected, so that the fault indoor units are shielded from the air conditioning device; when the failure is the failure of the outdoor units 4 and 5, the valves 9 and 10 corresponding to the failed outdoor units 4 and 5 are disconnected, so that the indoor units 1, 2 and 3 originally communicated with the failed outdoor units 4 and 5 are communicated with other non-failed outdoor units 4 and 5, and the operation of an air conditioning system is ensured.
After the trouble unit shields out, when the operation system debugs again, the system matches indoor set 1, 2, 3, off-premises station 4, 5 again, judges that the refrigerating output that off-premises station 4, 5 can provide matches with indoor set 1, 2, 3 required refrigerating output, if the refrigerating output difference is greater than 20%, shows the suggestion user by outside centralized control: continued use is not recommended in view of effects and energy saving.
The failure detection unit detects information on the state of the equipment or refrigerant of the indoor units 1, 2, 3 or the outdoor units 4, 5 of the air conditioner.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the present invention in any way, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the above description of the present invention can be applied to various modifications, equivalent variations or modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
