The heat of the indoor side is rapidly increased shortly before defrosting through the heat exchanger, and the influence on indoor thermal comfort caused by heat attenuation of the indoor heat exchanger 11 in the defrosting process of the heat exchanger is reduced. In the defrosting process of the outdoor heat exchanger, because the area of the heat exchanger for absorbing heat outdoors is reduced and part of refrigerant is used for melting frost on the outdoor heat exchanger, the heat provided by the indoor heat exchanger 11 is reduced, and at the moment, the thermal comfort of the indoor space can be ensured by continuously increasing the discharge capacity of the compressor 21.

Preferably, when the air conditioner 1 receives the shutdown signal, the air conditioner determines whether the outdoor heat exchanger needs defrosting according to the outdoor environment temperature, so as to ensure the heating effect of the next heating operation.
According to the invention, preferably, before the outdoor heat exchanger is judged to be defrosted and the outdoor heat exchange system does not enter a defrosting state, the discharge capacity of the compressor 21 is increased; after the outdoor heat exchange system enters a defrosting state, the discharge capacity of the compressor 21 is continuously increased; after all the outdoor heat exchangers finish defrosting and all the outdoor heat exchange systems are switched to a heating state, the discharge capacity of the compressor 21 is reduced to a normal operation state.
According to the air conditioner control method for defrosting without shutdown, when the control mechanism 30 detects that the outdoor heat exchanger needs defrosting, the discharge capacity of the compressor 21 is increased, heat is provided to the indoor as much as possible before the heat exchanger defrosts, and the indoor thermal comfort is prevented from being influenced in the defrosting process of the heat exchanger; in the defrosting process of the heat exchanger, because the area of the heat exchanger used for absorbing heat outdoors is reduced and part of refrigerant is used for melting frost on the outdoor heat exchanger, the heat provided by the indoor heat exchanger 11 is reduced, the discharge capacity of the compressor 21 is continuously improved, and the thermal comfort of an indoor space can be ensured; after all the outdoor heat exchangers finish defrosting and all the outdoor heat exchange systems are switched to a heating state, the discharge capacity of the compressor 21 is reduced, so that the normal operation of the air conditioner 1 can be ensured.
Although the present invention is disclosed above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes and modifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
