At present, for the condition that the number of air conditioners is larger than the number of rooms, the compressor of the air conditioner is unloaded and stopped, so that the temperature of the rooms meets the requirements of users. However, this method causes periodic fluctuations in room temperature, which cannot satisfy user comfort.

Therefore, the compressor is not required to be controlled to unload and stop for adjusting the indoor temperature, so that the periodic fluctuation of the indoor temperature is avoided, and the comfort of a user is improved.

Therefore, when the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is smaller, the opening of the second valve is preset to be adjusted, and then the second adjustment is performed according to the temperature change rate, so that the flow of the refrigerant in the second flow path can be accurately adjusted, the excessive adjustment of the opening of the second valve is avoided, and the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is further enlarged.

The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary only for explaining the embodiments of the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present application.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, a control method according to an embodiment of the present application is used for an air conditioner 100, the air conditioner 100 includes an outdoor unit 20 and an indoor unit 30, the outdoor unit 20 includes a compressor 21, a first heat exchanger 22, a second heat exchanger 23, a first four-way valve 24 and a second four-way valve 25, the indoor unit 30 includes a third heat exchanger 31 and a fourth heat exchanger 32, the first heat exchanger 22, the third heat exchanger 31, the first four-way valve 24 are connected with the compressor 21 to form a first flow path 40, the second heat exchanger 23, the fourth heat exchanger 32, the second four-way valve 25 are connected with the compressor 21 to form a second flow path 50, the control method includes:
Step 011: the first four-way valve 24 and the second four-way valve 25 are controlled to work in a first state;
Wherein, in the case that the indoor unit 30 is in refrigeration and the first and second four-way valves 24 and 25 are operated in the first state, the first and second heat exchangers 22 and 23 are condensers, the third and fourth heat exchangers 31 and 32 are evaporators, in the case that the indoor unit 30 is in heating and the first and second four-way valves 24 and 25 are operated in the first state, the first and second heat exchangers 22 and 23 are evaporators, the third and fourth heat exchangers 31 and 32 are condensers,
Step 012: controlling the second four-way valve 25 to be switched to the second state in the case that the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is less than or equal to the first preset value and the compressor 21 is operated at the minimum frequency;
The second heat exchanger 23 is an evaporator, the fourth heat exchanger 32 is a condenser when the indoor unit 30 is cooling and the second four-way valve 25 is operating in the second state, and the second heat exchanger 23 is a condenser and the fourth heat exchanger 32 is an evaporator when the indoor unit 30 is heating and the second four-way valve 25 is operating in the second state.
In this way, in the case where the compressor 21 of the air conditioner 100 is operated at the minimum frequency and there is a temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature, by changing the operation state of the four-way valve in the second flow path 50 such that the operation mode of the second flow path 50 in the air conditioner 100 is opposite to the operation mode of the first flow path 40, it is possible to make the air conditioner 100 excessively cool the indoor while adjusting the indoor temperature by heating, or it is possible to make the air conditioner 100 excessively heat the indoor while adjusting the indoor temperature by cooling, and thus it is possible to make the indoor temperature tend to the preset temperature. Therefore, there is no need to control the compressor 21 to unload and stop for adjusting the indoor temperature, so that the indoor temperature does not periodically fluctuate, and the comfort of users is improved.
The air conditioner 100 may be a direct expansion air conditioner 100, and the direct expansion air conditioner 100 is an air conditioner 100 in which a refrigerant directly exchanges heat with air to be treated. The air conditioner 100 includes the indoor unit 30 and the outdoor unit 20, the indoor unit 30 is installed in a room where cooling or heating is required, the outdoor unit 20 is installed in an environment where the outdoor unit 20 can circulate with the outside air, and the temperature of the room where the indoor unit 30 is located can be heated or cooled by gasifying and liquefying the refrigerant (for example, the refrigerant may be a working fluid for transferring heat energy and generating a freezing effect) in the indoor unit 30 and the outdoor unit 20.
The compressor 21, the first heat exchanger 22, the second heat exchanger 23, the first four-way valve 24 and the second four-way valve 25 in the air conditioner 100 are provided in the outdoor unit 20, the third heat exchanger 31 and the fourth heat exchanger 32 in the air conditioner 100 are provided in the indoor unit 30, and the first flow path 40 can be formed by sequentially entering the first four-way valve 24, the first heat exchanger 22 and the third heat exchanger 31 after the refrigerant flows out of the compressor 21, and the second flow path 50 can be formed by sequentially entering the second four-way valve 25, the second heat exchanger 23 and the fourth heat exchanger 32 after the refrigerant flows out of the compressor 21.
The air conditioner 100 further includes a processor 60, a memory 70, and a computer program 71, the processor 60 being capable of executing the computer program 71 containing instructions of the control method, the memory 70 being capable of storing the computer program 71 containing instructions of the control method.
Specifically, the processor 60 can acquire the frequency of the compressor 21, the operating states of the first and second four-way valves 24 and 25, and the indoor temperature and preset temperature of the air conditioner 100 when the air conditioner 100 is operated. The processor 60 can understand that the current air conditioner 100 works according to the frequency of the compressor 21, the indoor temperature and the preset temperature, and can understand that the air conditioner 100 is in a cooling or heating mode according to the working states of the first four-way valve 24 and the second four-way valve 25, and the indoor temperature can be obtained according to the temperature sensor 33 in the air conditioner 100.
The processor 60 can control the first state in which the first four-way valve 24 and the second four-way valve 25 operate according to the operation mode in which the air conditioner 100 is located. For example, in the case where the indoor unit 30 is in the cooling mode, the processor 60 can control the first states of the first four-way valve 24 and the second four-way valve 25 to be the power-off state; when the indoor unit 30 is heating, the processor 60 can control the first state of the first four-way valve 24 and the second four-way valve 25 to be the energized state. Thus, the working state of the four-way valve can be controlled according to the working mode condition of the indoor unit 30, so that the indoor temperature can quickly reach the preset temperature.
The processor 60 can control the second four-way valve 25 to switch to the second state in case that it detects that the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is less than or equal to a first preset value (the first preset value needs to be adjusted according to the operation mode in which the air conditioner 100 is located, the first preset value may be-3 ℃, -4 ℃ or-5 ℃ in the cooling mode, etc., the first preset value is 3 ℃,4 ℃ or 5 ℃ in the heating mode, etc.) and the compressor 21 is operated at a minimum frequency (the minimum frequency needs to be determined according to the model of the air conditioner 100). It should be noted that the second state is opposite to the first state, if the first state is the power-on state, the second state is the power-off state; when the first state is the power-off state, the second state is the power-on state.
For example, in the case that the air conditioner 100 is in the cooling mode and the first preset value is-3 ℃, the processor 60 controls the second four-way valve 25 to be in the power-off mode, and the processor 60 can detect that the indoor temperature is 22 ℃, the preset temperature is 25 ℃, and calculate that the temperature difference is-3 ℃, at this time, the frequency of the compressor 21 of the air conditioner 100 is operated at the minimum frequency, and then the processor 60 can control the second four-way valve 25 to be switched from the power-off state to the power-on state; in the case that the air conditioner 100 is in the heating mode and the first preset value is 3 ℃, the processor 60 controls the second four-way valve 25 to be in the power-on mode, detects the indoor temperature to be 28 ℃, the preset temperature to be 25 ℃, calculates the temperature difference to be 3 ℃, and at this time, the frequency of the compressor 21 of the air conditioner 100 is operated at the minimum frequency, the processor 60 can control the second four-way valve 25 to be switched from the power-on state to the power-off state.
The first flow path 40 includes the first heat exchanger 22 and the third heat exchanger 31, the second flow path 50 includes the second heat exchanger 23 and the fourth heat exchanger 32, the first heat exchanger 22 and the second heat exchanger 23 are located in the outdoor unit 20, and the third heat exchanger 31 and the fourth heat exchanger 32 are located in the indoor unit 30. The heat exchangers of the indoor unit 30 and the outdoor unit 20 may be fin heat exchangers, and the first heat exchanger 22, the second heat exchanger 23, the third heat exchanger 31, and the fourth heat exchanger 32 may be formed by dividing different heat dissipation paths in the fin heat exchangers. For example, the fin heat exchanger of the outdoor unit 20 includes 12 heat dissipation channels, the first heat exchanger 22 includes 10 heat dissipation channels, and the second heat exchanger 23 includes 2 heat dissipation channels, so that the heat exchange area ratio of the first heat exchanger 22 to the second heat exchanger 23 is 5:1.
When the indoor unit 30 is cooling, the processor 60 can control the first heat exchanger 22 to be a condenser, the third heat exchanger 31 to be an evaporator, the second heat exchanger 23 to be a condenser, and the fourth heat exchanger 32 to be an evaporator. When the indoor unit 30 is heating, the processor 60 can control the first heat exchanger 22 to be an evaporator, the third heat exchanger 31 to be a condenser, the second heat exchanger 23 to be an evaporator, and the fourth heat exchanger 32 to be a condenser. The second flow path 50 needs to be switched according to the operation state of the second four-way valve 25.
In the case that the difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is less than or equal to the first preset value and the compressor 21 is operated at the minimum frequency, the processor 60 can control the second four-way valve 25 to be switched to the second state and control the second heat exchanger 23 and the fourth heat exchanger 32 to be switched to the operation mode.
For example, when the indoor unit 30 is cooling and the second four-way valve 25 is switched to the second state, the processor 60 can control the first heat exchanger 22 to be a condenser, the third heat exchanger 31 to be an evaporator, the second heat exchanger 23 to be an evaporator, and the fourth heat exchanger 32 to be a condenser.
For another example, when the indoor unit 30 is heating and the second four-way valve 25 is switched to the second state, the processor 60 can control the first heat exchanger 22 to be an evaporator, the third heat exchanger 31 to be a condenser, the second heat exchanger 23 to be a condenser, and the fourth heat exchanger 32 to be an evaporator.
Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 includes a first valve 26 and a second valve 27, the first valve 26 is connected to the compressor 21 and the first four-way valve 24, the second valve 27 is connected to the compressor 21 and the second four-way valve 25, and the control method includes, before the step of controlling the second four-way valve 25 to switch to the second state:
step 013: controlling the opening degrees of the first valve 26 and the second valve 27 to be the first opening degree;
The control method includes, after the step of controlling the second four-way valve 25 to switch to the second state:
Step 014: after the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is less than or equal to the first preset value and the compressor 21 is operated at the minimum frequency for a preset period of time, the temperature change rate of the indoor temperature is obtained, the opening of the second valve 27 is adjusted to be a second opening according to the temperature change rate, the second opening is greater than the first opening under the condition that the temperature change rate is positive, and the second opening is smaller than the first opening under the condition that the temperature change rate is negative.
In this way, when the difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is large, the flow rate of the refrigerant in the second flow path 50 can be increased by adjusting the second valve 27 to the second opening on the basis of the first opening, and the rate of adjustment of the indoor temperature can be increased.
Specifically, the air conditioner 100 further includes a first valve 26 and a second valve. Wherein a first valve 26 is provided on the first flow path 40 for connecting the compressor 21 and the first four-way valve 24, and a second valve 27 is provided on the second flow path 50 for connecting the compressor 21 and the second four-way valve 25. The first valve 26 and the second valve 27 may be electric ball valves, the flow rate of the refrigerant can be controlled by controlling the opening degree of the ball valves, and the flow direction of the refrigerant can be controlled by controlling the energization and the de-energization of the first four-way valve 24 and the second four-way valve 25.
Before controlling the second four-way valve 25 to switch to the second state, the processor 60 can control the opening degrees of the first valve 26 and the second valve 27 to be the first opening degrees (for example, the maximum opening degrees of the first valve 26 and the second valve 27 are 3600 pa, the minimum opening degrees are 600 pa, and the first opening degrees are 3000 pa).
After controlling the second four-way valve 25 to be switched to the second state and after the compressor 21 is operated for a preset period of time (the preset period of time may be 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.), the processor 60 needs to determine whether the temperature difference of the indoor temperature from the preset temperature is decreasing or increasing, so that it is necessary to determine the magnitude of the temperature change rate of the indoor temperature. The processor 60 compares the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature with the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature of the second four-way valve 25 operating in the first state, thereby calculating the temperature change rate of the indoor temperature in the preset time period, and adjusting the opening of the second valve 27 according to the temperature change rate, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the refrigerant and accelerating the rate of reducing the temperature difference.
When the calculated temperature change rate is a positive value, the second opening is larger than the first opening, that is, the opening of the second valve 27 needs to be increased; in the case where the temperature change rate is a negative value, the second opening degree is smaller than the first opening degree, that is, the opening degree of the second valve 27 needs to be reduced.
Referring to fig. 5, in certain embodiments, step 014: adjusting the opening of the second valve 27 to the second opening according to the temperature change rate includes:
step 0141: calculating the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature;
Step 0142: calculating the temperature change rate of the indoor temperature according to the indoor temperature, the current indoor temperature and the preset time period which are different from the current time by a preset time period;
Step 0143: the second opening of the second valve 27 is calculated based on the temperature difference and the temperature change rate, and is proportional to the temperature change rate in the case where the temperature change rate is a positive value, and inversely proportional to the temperature change rate in the case where the temperature change rate is a negative value.
In this way, by calculating the temperature change rate of the indoor temperature after changing the operation state of the second flow path 50, the change condition of the indoor temperature can be clearly understood, and thus the adjustment rate of the indoor temperature can be improved by controlling the opening degree of the valve.
Specifically, after the processor 60 controls the second four-way valve 25 to switch the operation state and the compressor 21 is operated for a preset period of time (the preset period of time may be 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.), it is necessary to determine whether the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is decreasing and to determine the magnitude of the rate at which the temperature difference is decreasing so that the indoor temperature can rapidly reach the preset temperature.
The processor 60 can calculate the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature by acquiring the indoor temperature again, and thus can calculate the temperature change rate of the indoor temperature according to the temperature difference, and can adjust the opening of the second valve 27 according to the temperature change rate to adjust the flow rate of the refrigerant.
The calculation formula of the temperature change rate of the indoor temperature can be expressed as:
Wherein F v denotes a temperature change rate, t 1 denotes an indoor temperature at the current time, t 2 denotes an indoor temperature before a preset time period, and s denotes a preset time period.
The calculation formula of the opening of the second valve 27 in the cooling mode or the heating mode is different, and the calculation formula of the second opening of the second valve 27 in the cooling mode may be expressed as:
P=-100(ΔT+Fv);
the calculation formula of the second opening degree of the second valve 27 in the heating mode can be expressed as:
P=100(ΔT+Fv);
Where P represents the opening degree of the second valve 27 to be adjusted, Δt represents the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature at the current time, and F v represents the temperature change rate.
When the temperature change rate is a positive value, the second opening is proportional to the temperature change rate, that is, the larger the temperature change rate is, the larger the second opening is; in the case where the temperature change rate is a negative value, the second opening degree is inversely proportional to the temperature change rate, i.e., the smaller the temperature change rate is, the smaller the second opening degree is.
Referring to fig. 6, in some embodiments, the control method includes, after the step of adjusting the opening of the second valve 27 to the second opening according to the temperature change rate:
step 015: and under the condition that the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is larger than a second preset value, controlling the working state of the second four-way valve 25 to be restored to the first state, wherein the second preset value is larger than the first preset value.
Thus, when the indoor temperature is close to the preset temperature, the working state of the second four-way valve 25 is restored to the first state, so that the indoor temperature fluctuation caused by long-time simultaneous heating and cooling of the indoor temperature can be avoided, and the comfort of a user is improved.
Specifically, after the opening degree of the second valve 27 is adjusted and the operation of the compressor 21 is continued for a certain period of time, the processor 60 detects that the difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is greater than the second preset value (the second preset value may be-0.5 ℃, 0.6 ℃ or 0.7 ℃ in the cooling mode, etc., and the first preset value is 0.5 ℃, 0.6 ℃ or 0.7 ℃ in the heating mode, etc.), and controls the operation state of the second four-way valve 25 to be restored to the initial state.
For example, in the cooling mode, the processor 60 can control the operation states of the first and second four-way valves 24 and 25 to be changed from the on state to the off state in the case that the difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is less than 0.5 ℃; in the heating mode, the processor 60 can control the operation states of the first four-way valve 24 and the second four-way valve 25 to be switched from the power-off state to the power-on state under the condition that the difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is less than 0.5 ℃.
Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments, the control method includes, before the step of controlling the second four-way valve 25 to switch to the second state:
Step 016: controlling the opening degrees of the first valve 26 and the second valve 27 to be the first opening degree;
The control method includes, after the step of controlling the second four-way valve 25 to switch to the second state:
Step 017: controlling the opening of the second valve 27 to be a third opening when the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is larger than a first preset value and smaller than a third preset value, wherein the third preset value is larger than the first preset value and smaller than the second preset value, and the third opening is smaller than the first opening;
Step 018: after the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is greater than the first preset value and less than the second preset value and the compressor 21 operates at the minimum frequency for a preset period of time, the temperature change rate of the indoor temperature is obtained, the opening of the second valve 27 is adjusted to be fourth according to the temperature change rate, the fourth opening is greater than the third opening under the condition that the temperature change rate is positive, and the fourth opening is smaller than the third opening under the condition that the temperature change rate is negative.
Thus, when the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is smaller, the opening of the second valve 27 is preset to be adjusted, and then the second adjustment is performed according to the temperature change rate, so that the flow rate of the refrigerant in the second flow path 50 can be accurately adjusted, the excessive adjustment of the opening of the second valve 27 is avoided, and the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is further enlarged.
Specifically, before controlling the second four-way valve 25 to switch to the second state, the processor 60 can control the opening degrees of the first valve 26 and the second valve 27 to be the first opening degrees (for example, the maximum opening degrees of the first valve 26 and the second valve 27 are 3600 pa, the minimum opening degrees are 600 pa, the first opening degrees are 3000 pa), and obtain the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature. Wherein, in case the temperature difference is greater than the first preset value and less than the third preset value (the third preset value may be-1 ℃, -1.1 ℃ or-1.2 ℃ in the cooling mode, etc.), the processor 60 controls the opening of the first valve 26 and the second valve 27 to be the third opening (the third opening may be 1500 pa or 1600 pa, etc.) in the heating mode, the first preset value is 1 ℃, 1.1 ℃ or 1.2 ℃ in the heating mode, etc.).
After controlling the second four-way valve 25 to be switched to the second state according to the current third opening degrees of the first valve 26 and the second valve 27 and controlling the compressor 21 to operate for a preset period of time (the preset period of time may be 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.), the processor 60 needs to determine whether the temperature difference of the indoor temperature from the preset temperature is decreasing or increasing, and thus needs to determine the magnitude of the temperature change rate of the indoor temperature. The processor 60 compares the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature with the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature of the second four-way valve 25 operating in the first state, thereby calculating the temperature change rate of the indoor temperature in the preset time period, and adjusting the fourth opening of the second valve 27 according to the temperature change rate, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the refrigerant.
Note that, in the case where the calculated temperature change rate is a positive value, the fourth opening is larger than the third opening, that is, the opening of the second valve 27 needs to be increased; in the case where the temperature change rate is a negative value, the fourth opening degree is smaller than the third opening degree, that is, the opening degree of the second valve 27 needs to be reduced.
Referring to fig. 8, in some embodiments, the control method includes:
step 019: when the indoor unit 30 is in the cooling mode, the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is smaller than the second preset value and larger than the third preset value, and the compressor 21 operates at the minimum frequency, the working state of the second four-way valve 25 is controlled to be kept as it is, and the third preset value is larger than the first preset value and smaller than the second preset value;
Step 020: when the indoor unit 30 is in the heating mode, the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is greater than or equal to a fourth preset value, less than a fifth preset value, and the compressor 21 is operated at the minimum frequency, the working state of the second four-way valve 25 is controlled to be maintained as it is, and the fourth preset value is less than the fifth preset value.
Therefore, when the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature reaches a certain range, the four-way valve can be prevented from periodically switching the working state by maintaining the working state of the four-way valve, so that the temperature fluctuates.
Specifically, the processor 60 needs to monitor the indoor temperature at all times, and calculate the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature, and control the operation of the air conditioner 100 according to the temperature difference. When the air conditioner 100 is in the cooling mode and the compressor 21 is operated at the minimum frequency, the processor 60 detects that the difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is less than the second preset value (the second preset value may be-0.5 deg.c, -0.6 deg.c, or-0.7 deg.c, etc.) and greater than the third preset value (the third preset value may be-1 deg.c, -1.2 deg.c, or-1.4 deg.c, etc.), the operation state of the second four-way valve 25 can be controlled to remain unchanged.
For example, when the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is within the temperature range of the second preset value and the third preset value, the current working state of the second four-way valve 25 is the energized state, and then the energized state of the second four-way valve 25 is continuously maintained, and the current working state of the second four-way valve 25 is the de-energized state, and then the de-energized state of the second four-way valve 25 is continuously maintained.
When the air conditioner 100 is in the heating mode and the compressor 21 is operated at the minimum frequency, the processor 60 detects that the difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is greater than or equal to a fourth preset value (the fourth preset value may be 0.5 c, 0.6 c, 0.7 c, etc.) and less than a fifth preset value (the fifth preset value may be 1 c, 1.2 c, 1.4 c, etc.), the operation state of the second four-way valve 25 can be controlled to remain unchanged.
For example, when the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature is within the temperature range of the fourth preset value and the fifth preset value, the current working state of the second four-way valve 25 is the energized state, and then the energized state of the second four-way valve 25 is continuously maintained, and the current working state of the second four-way valve 25 is the de-energized state, and then the de-energized state of the second four-way valve 25 is continuously maintained.
