When the number n of the indoor heat exchangers meeting the defrosting conditions is 2, one of the indoor heat exchangers meeting the defrosting conditions enters a defrosting mode, and after one of the indoor heat exchangers finishes defrosting, the other indoor heat exchanger meeting the defrosting conditions is allowed to enter the defrosting mode; when the number n of the indoor heat exchangers meeting the defrosting condition is larger than or equal to 3, allowing two of the indoor heat exchangers meeting the defrosting condition to enter a defrosting mode at the same time, and allowing the next indoor heat exchanger meeting the defrosting condition to enter the defrosting mode after one of the indoor heat exchangers finishes defrosting.

That is, the first three-way reversing valve 18 in fig. 1 is the aforementioned first reversing device, and the second three-way reversing valve 19, the third three-way reversing valve 20, the fourth three-way reversing valve 21, and the fifth three-way reversing valve 22 are the aforementioned second reversing device.
During normal refrigeration operation, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged from the compressor 1 flows to the condenser 2, and the first three-way selector valve 18 is switched to close the downward branch. The refrigerant is condensed into high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant by the condenser 2, enters the liquid storage device 3 and flows through the liquid separation head 9, and it needs to be noted that the liquid storage device 3 can adjust and stabilize the circulation volume of the refrigerant during refrigeration; refrigerant liquid is uniformly divided by the liquid dividing head 9, and flows into the evaporators of the corresponding branches to be evaporated under the regulation of the electronic expansion valves of the branches, and the electronic expansion valves need to set different initial steps according to the common evaporation temperature of different evaporators, so that each evaporation interval can quickly reach the corresponding evaporation temperature; the low-temperature and low-pressure gas obtained by each evaporator is collected after being evaporated by the evaporator and then passing through the check valves (the first check valve 23, the second check valve 24, the third check valve 25 and the fourth check valve 26) of each branch, the check valves are used for preventing backflow phenomenon caused when the evaporation pressures of a plurality of evaporators are different, and low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture can be separated from liquid drops carried in refrigerant gas through the gas-liquid separator 4 and finally flows into the compressor 1 to form a refrigeration cycle system.
In the defrosting operation process, when one evaporator meets the defrosting condition, the first three-way reversing valve 18 is switched, a right branch and a downward branch are opened, high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged by the compressor 1 passes through the first three-way reversing valve 18, one part of the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas flows to the condenser 2 for condensation, the other part of the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas passes through the first three-way reversing valve 18, flows downwards through the fifth three-way reversing valve 22 and then enters the first evaporator 5 for defrosting, at the moment, the first electronic expansion valve 14 is closed to 0B, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas-liquid mixture generated after systematic defrosting is guided into the liquid storage device 3 arranged in the system through the fifth one-way valve 27 and mixed with the high-pressure refrigerant liquid reserved by the condenser 2, the refrigerant gas which is not completely condensed is completely condensed, the mixed refrigerant liquid in the liquid storage device 3 flows through the liquid distributing head 9, and the refrigerant liquid is uniformly distributed through the liquid distributing head 9, the low-temperature low-pressure gas evaporated by the third evaporator 7 flows to the vapor-liquid separator 4 through the third one-way valve 25, the low-temperature low-pressure gas evaporated by the fourth evaporator 8 flows to the vapor-liquid separator 4 through the fourth one-way valve 26, and the low-temperature low-pressure gas of each evaporator is collected, the liquid droplets carried in the separated refrigerant gas by the vapor-liquid separator 4 finally flow into the compressor 1 to constitute a refrigeration cycle. When the defrosting temperature of the first evaporator 5 is detected to be low, the flow of the first three-way reversing valve 18 to the lower branch is switched to be increased in proportion, and after the defrosting of the first evaporator 5 is finished, the first electronic expansion valve 14 is directly opened to the initial step number from 0B, so that the space temperature corresponding to the first evaporator 5 can quickly reach the set value.
When two evaporators simultaneously meet defrosting entering conditions, allowing the two evaporators to enter a defrosting state; for example, when the first evaporator 5 and the second evaporator 6 meet the defrosting condition, the first three-way reversing valve 18 is switched to open only the downward branch, a part of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas discharged by the compressor 1 flows to the second evaporator 6 through the fourth three-way reversing valve 21 to be defrosted, a part of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas flows to the first evaporator 5 through the fifth three-way reversing valve 22, the fourth three-way reversing valve 21 is switched to open the flow of the right branch, and the fifth three-way reversing valve 22 is switched to open half of the flow of the right branch; when the defrosting temperature of the first evaporator 5 is detected to be lower than that of the second evaporator 6, the flow of the right branch of the fifth three-way reversing valve 22 is switched to increase in proportion until the defrosting temperature of the first evaporator 5 is detected to be equal to that of the second evaporator 6; when the defrosting temperature of the first evaporator 5 is detected to be higher than that of the second evaporator 6, switching the flow of the fourth three-way valve to the right branch to increase proportionally until the detected defrosting temperature of the first evaporator 5 is equal to that of the second evaporator 6; when the defrosting temperature of the first evaporator 5 is detected to be equal to the defrosting temperature of the second evaporator 6, the opening degrees of the fourth three-way reversing valve 21 and the fifth three-way reversing valve 22 are maintained unchanged.
When the first evaporator 5 exits the defrosting mode first, the first electronic expansion valve 14 is directly opened from 0B to the initial step number, so that the space temperature corresponding to the first evaporator 5 can quickly reach a set value, and the second evaporator 6 continues defrosting until the defrosting exit condition is met; when the second evaporator 6 exits the defrosting mode first, the second electronic expansion valve 15 is directly opened from 0B to the initial step number, so that the space temperature corresponding to the first evaporator 5 can quickly reach a set value, and the first evaporator 5 continues defrosting until the defrosting exit condition is met; when the first evaporator 5 and the second evaporator 6 exit the defrosting mode at the same time, the first electronic expansion valve 14 and the second electronic expansion valve 15 are both opened to the initial step number by 0B, so that the space temperatures corresponding to the first evaporator 5 and the second evaporator 6 can quickly reach the set value.
When three evaporators simultaneously meet defrosting conditions, allowing the two evaporators to enter a defrosting state, and allowing the third evaporator to enter defrosting after one evaporator finishes defrosting; the defrosting may be prioritized such that the first evaporator 5 is higher than the second evaporator 6, the second evaporator 6 is higher than the third evaporator 7, and the third evaporator 7 is higher than the fourth evaporator 8.
For example, when the first evaporator 5, the second evaporator 6 and the third evaporator 7 all satisfy the defrosting condition, the first evaporator 5 and the second evaporator 6 are defrosted first, the first three-way reversing valve 18 is switched to open only the downward branch, a part of high-temperature and high-pressure gas discharged by the compressor 1 flows to the second evaporator 6 through the fourth three-way reversing valve 21 to be defrosted, a part of high-temperature and high-pressure gas flows to the first evaporator 5 through the fifth three-way reversing valve 22 to be defrosted, the fourth three-way reversing valve 21 is switched to open the flow of the right branch, and the fifth three-way reversing valve 22 is switched to open half of the flow of the right branch; when the defrosting temperature of the first evaporator 5 is detected to be lower than that of the second evaporator 6, the flow of the right branch of the fifth three-way reversing valve 22 is switched to increase in proportion until the defrosting temperature of the first evaporator 5 is detected to be equal to that of the second evaporator 6; when the defrosting temperature of the first evaporator 5 is detected to be higher than that of the second evaporator 6, switching the flow of the fourth three-way valve to the right branch to increase proportionally until the detected defrosting temperature of the first evaporator 5 is equal to that of the second evaporator 6; when the defrosting temperature of the first evaporator 5 is detected to be equal to the defrosting temperature of the second evaporator 6, the opening degrees of the fourth three-way reversing valve 21 and the fifth three-way reversing valve 22 are maintained unchanged.
When the first evaporator 5 exits the defrosting mode first, the first electronic expansion valve 14 is directly opened from 0B to the initial step number, so that the space temperature corresponding to the first evaporator 5 can quickly reach a set value, the second evaporator 6 continues defrosting until the defrosting exit condition is met, and simultaneously the third evaporator 7 is controlled to enter the defrosting mode according to the defrosting control scheme.
When the second evaporator 6 exits the defrosting mode first, the second electronic expansion valve 15 is directly opened from 0B to the initial step number, so that the space temperature corresponding to the first evaporator 5 can quickly reach the set value, the first evaporator 5 continues defrosting until the defrosting exit condition is met, and simultaneously the third evaporator 7 is controlled to enter the defrosting mode according to the defrosting control scheme.
When the first evaporator 5 and the second evaporator 6 exit the defrosting mode at the same time, the first electronic expansion valve 14 and the second electronic expansion valve 15 are both opened to the initial step number by 0B, so that the space temperatures corresponding to the first evaporator 5 and the second evaporator 6 can quickly reach the set value. Meanwhile, the third evaporator 7 alone enters the defrosting mode.
When four evaporators simultaneously meet defrosting conditions, allowing two evaporators to enter a defrosting mode, and allowing the next evaporator to enter a defrosting state after one evaporator is defrosted; at most, two evaporators are allowed to enter a defrosting state at the same time, and the defrosting priority is higher according to the first evaporator 5 than the second evaporator 6 than the third evaporator 7 than the fourth evaporator 8.
It should be noted that, when too many evaporators satisfying the defrosting condition at the same time and the amount of the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid stored in the liquid reservoir 3 is too much, the capacity of the liquid reservoir 3 needs to be selected to be too large, so in this embodiment, when a plurality of evaporators satisfy the defrosting condition at the same time, at most two evaporators are allowed to enter the defrosting mode at the same time, and in addition, the evaporators satisfying the defrosting condition need to be prioritized to ensure that defrosting is performed in order.
In addition, the invention also provides refrigeration equipment adopting the defrosting control method, and in one embodiment, the refrigeration equipment is a refrigeration house, a refrigerator or an air conditioner.
The above description is only for the specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of the changes or substitutions within the technical scope of the present invention, and the changes or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
