In an embodiment of the present invention, the second preset temperature is preferably 38 ℃, the duration is preferably 30min, the third preset temperature is preferably 32 ℃, and when it is detected that the multi-split air-conditioning system exits the oil return mode, as shown in fig. 1, corresponding indoor temperature adjustments are performed on the first condensing indoor unit 401, the second condensing indoor unit 402, and the third condensing indoor unit 403, and within the duration of 30min, the indoor ambient temperature of the first condensing indoor unit 401 is 39 ℃, the indoor ambient temperature of the second condensing indoor unit 402 is 30 ℃, and the indoor ambient temperature of the third condensing indoor unit 403 is 28 ℃, so that the indoor ambient temperature of the first condensing indoor unit 401 is 39 ℃ which is always greater than the second preset temperature 38 ℃, and corresponding adjustment needs to be performed on the indoor ambient temperature of the first condensing indoor unit 401, where: for the second condensing indoor unit 402, the operation is performed in a low wind gear at 26 ℃ in a refrigeration mode until the indoor environment temperature is detected to be lower than the third preset temperature by 32 ℃, and the temperature can be effectively reduced after the normal refrigeration operation is performed for 10 min. Thus, damage to indoor facilities in the idle room corresponding to the first condensation indoor unit 401 due to excessive temperature is effectively avoided.
In another embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of an oil return device 6000 of a multi-split system according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the oil return device includes:
the detecting unit 6001 is configured to detect whether the multi-split air conditioning system is in an oil return mode, where in the oil return mode, the multi-split air conditioning system operates to perform cooling and return accumulated lubricating oil to the compressor;
an obtaining unit 6002, configured to obtain an outdoor ambient temperature if the ambient temperature is lower than the preset threshold;
the processing unit 6003 is configured to determine whether a first preset temperature condition is met according to the outdoor environment temperature, determine, if the first preset temperature condition is met, that at least one standby indoor unit serves as a condensing indoor unit, and adjust a switch component and a throttling component corresponding to the determined condensing indoor unit, so that both the condensing indoor unit and the outdoor unit 1 have a condensing effect, where the standby indoor unit is an indoor unit in a standby state in the multi-split system.
According to the oil return device of the multi-split air conditioner system, part of the indoor units are changed into the outdoor units in the oil return mode, the condensation effect is improved, the side liquid flow of the indoor units is increased, the system pressure is reduced, the frequency of the compressor can be further improved, the flow rate of a refrigerant is increased, the oil return effect is improved, and the use comfort of users is improved.
Another embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner, including a computer readable storage medium storing a computer program and a processor, where the computer program is read and executed by the processor to implement the oil return method of the multi-split air-conditioning system. Specifically, referring to fig. 1, an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention is a multi-split air conditioner.
According to the air conditioner provided by the invention, in the oil return mode, part of the indoor units are changed into the outdoor units, so that the condensation effect is increased, the side liquid flow of the indoor units is increased, the system pressure is reduced, the frequency of the compressor can be further increased, the flow rate of a refrigerant is increased, the oil return effect is improved, and the use comfort of a user is improved.
The present invention further provides a computer-readable storage medium, where a computer program is stored, and when the computer program is read and executed by a processor, the oil return method of the multi-split system is implemented.
According to the computer readable storage medium provided by the invention, in the oil return mode, part of the indoor units are changed into the outdoor units, so that the condensation effect is increased, the side liquid flow of the indoor units is increased, the system pressure is reduced, the frequency of the compressor can be further improved, the flow rate of a refrigerant is increased, the oil return effect is improved, and the use comfort of a user is improved.
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.
