Specifically, the first connecting switch K1R is controlled by an indoor unit controller, the second connecting switch K2R is controlled by an outdoor unit controller, and when the indoor unit is powered on, the indoor unit controller controls the first connecting switch K1R to be disconnected and not connected or the outdoor unit controller controls the second connecting switch K2R to be disconnected, the outdoor unit is not powered on because the outdoor unit is not connected to the live wire AC-L at the alternating current input end. After the indoor unit is powered on, the indoor unit controller controls the first connecting switch K1R to connect the live wire AC-L at the alternating current input end with the outdoor unit through the diode D2, the diode D3, the thermistor PTC1 and the second connecting switch K2R, so that the outdoor unit is awakened. The outdoor unit communication circuit 2 is also connected to the AC-L through the diode D2 and the diode D4 while waking up the outdoor unit.
The first connecting switch K1R and the second connecting switch K2R may be relays or high power triodes, thyristors, Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs), metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOS transistors), and the like.
In a feasible manner of this embodiment, the voltage detection module 3 includes: a first resistance unit 31a and a second resistance unit 31b, a resistance value of the second resistance unit 31b being greater than a resistance value of the first resistance unit 31 a; and the detection control circuit 32 is provided with a switch 32a, when the voltage led into the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 is smaller than a preset threshold value, the switch 32a is switched on, the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 is connected with the first resistance unit 31a, when the voltage led into the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 is larger than or equal to the preset threshold value, the switch 32a is switched off, and the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 is connected with the second resistance unit 31 b.
Specifically, the detection control circuit 32 includes a voltage dividing and stabilizing circuit 32b and a first control unit 32c, the voltage dividing and stabilizing circuit 32b performs voltage stabilization and voltage division on the voltage passed through the outdoor unit communication circuit 2, and the first control unit 32c turns on or off the switch 32a according to the stabilized voltage and the divided voltage. The voltage dividing and stabilizing circuit 32b comprises a voltage regulator tube DZ1 connected in parallel with the outdoor unit communication circuit 2, and a first voltage dividing resistor R5 and a second voltage dividing resistor R6 connected in series and then connected in parallel with the voltage regulator tube DZ 1; the voltage borne by the series circuit of the first voltage-dividing resistor R5 and the second voltage-dividing resistor R6 is the same as the voltage of the voltage regulator DZ1, two ends of the second voltage-dividing resistor R6 are connected with the first control unit 32c, and the first control unit 32c turns on or off the switch 32a according to the voltage at two ends of the resistor R6.
The first control unit 32c is a three-terminal regulator IC1, a comparator or a triode, two ends of the first control unit are connected with two ends of a resistor R6, the other end of the first control unit is connected with the switch 32a, and the first control unit 32c controls the on-off of the switch 32a according to the voltage at two ends of the resistor R6 and the preset voltage division threshold value. The second resistor unit 31b includes a first adjusting resistor R2 and a second adjusting resistor R3 connected in series, the switch 32a is connected in parallel across the second adjusting resistor R3, and the first resistor unit 31a is a first adjusting resistor R2. When the switch 32a is turned off, the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 is connected to the second resistance unit 31b, and when the switch 32a is turned on, the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 is connected to the first resistance unit 31 a. By adjusting the parameters of the voltage regulator tube DZ1, the first voltage divider resistor R5, and the second voltage divider resistor R6, the impedance matching relationship connected to the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 can be flexibly controlled. For example, under a rated condition, the communication voltage of the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 is 54V, the DZ1 regulator is set to 72V (or other regulated voltage value greater than 54V), when the voltage connected to the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 is 220V, the comparison circuit determines that the divided voltage of the second voltage dividing resistor R6 is greater than a preset divided voltage threshold (e.g., 2.5V), at this time, the switch 32a will not be turned on, and the resistance value of the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 will be R2+ R3; when the voltage connected to the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 is 54V, the comparison circuit determines that the divided voltage of the second voltage dividing resistor R6 is smaller than a preset divided voltage threshold (e.g., 2.5V), at this time, the switch 32a is turned on, and the resistance value of the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 is R2. The resistance of the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 is adjusted by introducing the R3 resistance into the outdoor unit communication circuit 2, so that the divided voltage of the R2 is greatly reduced, the current in the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 is greatly reduced, and the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 is protected.
The first control unit 32c is a three-terminal regulator IC1, a comparator or a transistor. In this embodiment, a three-terminal regulator IC1 is taken as an example, two ends of the three-terminal regulator IC1 are connected to the second voltage-dividing resistor R6, and the other end of the three-terminal regulator IC is connected to the switch 32a, when the voltage across the second voltage-dividing resistor R6 is smaller than a preset threshold of the three-terminal regulator IC1, the three-terminal regulator IC1 is in a connected state, the switch 32a is connected, so that the second adjusting resistor R3 connected in parallel with the switch 32a is short-circuited, and the resistance value of the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 is R2. When the voltage across the second voltage-dividing resistor R6 is greater than the preset threshold of the three-terminal regulator IC1, the three-terminal regulator IC1 is broken down, the three-terminal regulator IC1 is not turned on, so that the switch 32a is also in a disconnected state, and the resistance value of the outdoor unit communication circuit 2 is R2+ R3.
The switch 32a may be a field effect transistor MOS1, a transistor, or a relay as described above. This embodiment is not particularly limited thereto.
