Detailed Description
Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only for explaining the technical principle of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms of direction or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, which are for convenience of description only, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed in a specific orientation, and be operated, and thus should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
Based on the problem that the existing multi-split air conditioning system pointed out by the background technology cannot give consideration to the refrigeration capacity, the heating capacity and the refrigerant sound reduction, the invention provides a control method of the multi-split air conditioning system, which aims to give consideration to the refrigeration capacity, the heating capacity and the refrigerant sound reduction of indoor units, so that the practical use requirements of users in various aspects are met to the greatest extent, and the user experience is improved.
As shown in fig. 1, the multi-split air conditioning system of the present invention includes an outdoor unit (not shown in the figure), a plurality of connecting pipes 1 and a plurality of indoor units 2 (only one of the connecting pipes and one of the indoor units is shown in the figure), the connecting pipes 1 correspond to the indoor units 2 one to one, each indoor unit 2 is connected to the outdoor unit through one connecting pipe 1, each connecting pipe 1 is provided with a throttling element, a switching valve and a first electronic expansion valve 3, the throttling element is connected to the switching valve in parallel, and the throttling element and the switching valve are disposed on the downstream side of the first electronic expansion valve 3 along the refrigerant flowing direction when the indoor unit 2 performs refrigeration. When the indoor unit 2 refrigerates indoors, the liquid refrigerant flows from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit 2 through the connecting pipe 1, that is, when the switch valve is opened, the liquid refrigerant firstly passes through the first electronic expansion valve 3 and then passes through the switch valve, and when the switch valve is closed, the liquid refrigerant firstly passes through the first electronic expansion valve 3 and then passes through the throttling element. In the present invention, the throttling element may be the capillary tube 4, or may also be the second electronic expansion valve, or may also be another element capable of achieving a throttling function, and of course, the throttling element is most preferably the capillary tube 4, so that the cost of the throttling element is lower; the switch valve can be an electromagnetic valve 5, and of course, other valves capable of realizing the switching function can be adopted, as long as the on-off of the branch circuit can be realized through the switch valve.
The control method of the invention comprises the following steps: determining the running state of the indoor unit 2; according to the running state of the indoor unit 2, the switch valve is selectively opened or closed, so that the first electronic expansion valve 3 throttles the refrigerant alone, or the throttling element and the first electronic expansion valve 3 throttle the refrigerant in sequence according to different sequences. The throttling element and the first electronic expansion valve 3 sequentially throttle the refrigerant according to different sequences means that when the switch valve is closed and the refrigerant flows, the refrigerant first passes through one of the throttling element and the first electronic expansion valve 3, and then passes through the other of the throttling element and the first electronic expansion valve 3, for example, when the indoor unit 2 is used for refrigeration, if the switch valve is closed, the refrigerant first passes through the first electronic expansion valve 3 and then passes through the throttling element, and when the indoor unit 2 is used for heating or standby heating, if the switch valve is closed, the refrigerant first passes through the throttling element and then passes through the first electronic expansion valve 3.
Preferably, the step of selectively opening or closing the on-off valve according to the operation state of the indoor unit 2 to allow the first electronic expansion valve 3 to throttle the refrigerant alone, or allow the throttling element and the first electronic expansion valve 3 to throttle the refrigerant sequentially in different orders specifically includes: when the indoor unit 2 heats, the on-off valve is opened to allow the first electronic expansion valve 3 to throttle the refrigerant alone. When the ooff valve is opened, because ooff valve and throttling element parallel arrangement, whole refrigerant or most refrigerant can pass through from the ooff valve this moment, few refrigerant or no refrigerant pass through from throttling element, it should be noted that, when refrigerant pressure is higher, there can be a few refrigerant to pass through throttling element, but because the refrigerant volume can pass through throttling element less smoothly, throttling element can not throttle the refrigerant promptly, that is to say, only have first electronic expansion valve 3 to throttle the refrigerant this moment, thereby guarantee that indoor set 2's the effect of heating is not influenced.
Preferably, the step of selectively opening or closing the on-off valve according to the operation state of the indoor unit 2 to allow the first electronic expansion valve 3 to throttle the refrigerant alone, or allow the throttling element and the first electronic expansion valve 3 to throttle the refrigerant sequentially in different orders specifically includes: when the indoor unit 2 is refrigerating, the on-off valve is closed to make the first electronic expansion valve 3 and the throttling element successively throttle the refrigerant. When the switch valve is closed, the switch valve and the throttling element are arranged in parallel, so that the refrigerant cannot pass through the switch valve at the moment, all the refrigerant passes through the first electronic expansion valve 3 and then passes through the throttling element, the two-stage throttling is performed on the refrigerant, the front-back pressure difference of the first electronic expansion valve 3 is reduced, and the throttling sound of the refrigerant is reduced.
Preferably, the step of selectively opening or closing the on-off valve according to the operation state of the indoor unit 2 to allow the first electronic expansion valve 3 to throttle the refrigerant alone, or allow the throttling element and the first electronic expansion valve 3 to throttle the refrigerant sequentially in different orders specifically includes: when the indoor unit 2 is in a standby state for heating, the switching valve is closed so that the throttling element and the first electronic expansion valve 3 sequentially throttle the refrigerant. When the switch valve is closed, the switch valve and the throttling element are arranged in parallel, at the moment, the refrigerant cannot pass through the switch valve, all the refrigerant firstly passes through the throttling element and then passes through the first electronic expansion valve 3, so that the two-stage throttling is performed on the refrigerant, the front-back pressure difference of the first electronic expansion valve 3 is reduced, and the throttling sound of the refrigerant is reduced.

s4: if the operation state of the indoor unit 2 is the heating standby state, the electromagnetic valve 5 is closed to make the capillary tube 4 and the first electronic expansion valve 3 successively throttle the refrigerant.
