Fig. 4 shows the method program of refrigerant amount in the above-mentioned multi-air conditioner of control.In the figure, label S10, S20 and S30 represent respectively and calculate and output activity controlling value step, at first control refrigerant amount step and control the refrigerant amount step again.In the figure, for simplicity, calculate and export activity controlling value step S10 and be illustrated among Fig. 4 a, and at first and again control refrigerated medium dosage step S20, S30 is illustrated among Fig. 4 b.As shown in FIG., the method for control refrigerant amount of the present invention comprises to be calculated and output activity controlling value step S10, at first controls refrigerant amount step S20 and controls refrigerant amount step S30 again.In calculating and export activity controlling value step S10, personnel activity's amount in preset time is compared with setting, to calculate and output activity controlling value.In the step S20 that at first controls refrigerant amount, according to indoor equipment that drives in some indoor equipmenies number and activity controlling value T operation bypass solenoid valve 51, make the cold-producing medium that flows out from the condenser 41 of outdoor equipment through bypass solenoid valve 51 and bypass capillary 50 flow directly into outdoor equipment compressor 47 and without capillary 43a, 43b, 43c, by-passing valve 48a, 48b, the evaporimeter 45a of 48c and indoor equipment, 45b, 45c.Therefore, controllable flow is gone into evaporimeter 45a, 45b, the cold-producing medium of 45c.In the step S30 that controls refrigerant amount again, control magnetic valve 48a, 48b, the aperture of 48c, thus controllable flow is gone into evaporimeter 45a, 45b, the refrigerant amount of 45c.
Referring to Fig. 2-4, in calculating and export activity controlling value step S10, in order to detect the people's activities situation, at first, the corresponding activity detector units of the just operating indoor equipment control module of certain of indoor equipment Control Component 20 operant activity detection components 10.At this moment, if detected active situation, the pulse of being sent by motion detection assembly 10 is transformed into low level (H-L) by high level.Indoor equipment control module accumulative total is transformed into low level umber of pulse from the input of motion detection assembly and by high level in preset time, and the activity and the setting of above-mentioned accumulative total compared, with output activity controlling value.For example, if the activity (A) of accumulative total is A≤L, then Shu Chu activity controlling value T is " low ".If the activity (A) of accumulative total is L＜A≤M or M＜A, then Shu Chu activity controlling value T be " in " and " height ", L and M distinguish the minimum of a value and the median of deputy activity amount herein.
As mentioned above, use and examine then assembly 10 detected activity meters by activity and calculate after the controlling value T, indoor equipment Control Component 20 is to outdoor equipment control module 30 output activity controlling value T.For example, if have only the operation of the first and the 3rd indoor equipment, the first and the 3rd indoor equipment control module 20a of indoor equipment Control Component 20,20c operates the first and the 3rd activity detecting unit 10a, 10c is so that be accumulated at the first and the 3rd indoor detected activity.Activity by means of accumulative total goes out can calculate the first and the 3rd activity controlling value T1 and T3, and export above-mentioned controlling value to outdoor equipment control module 30.At this moment, on behalf of the indoor equipment of itself, operating indoor equipment control module also will number export to outdoor equipment control module 30.
In at first controlling refrigerant amount step S20, outdoor equipment control module 30 is according to the activity controlling value T operation bypass solenoid valve 51 of the indoor equipment input of device number of importing from the indoor equipment control module that drives and driving.That is to say that when an indoor equipment is moving or two activity controlling values when moving for the indoor equipment of " low ", bypass solenoid valve 51 is opened.So the part of refrigerant of the cold-producing medium of discharging from the condenser 41 of outdoor equipment flows directly into the compressor 47 of outdoor equipment through magnetic valve 51 and bypass capillary 50, and do not flow through corresponding to each indoor equipment control module 20a, 20b, 20c is corresponding to magnetic valve 48a, 48b, 48c and corresponding to evaporimeter 45a, 45b, the capillary 43a of 45c, 43b, 43c.Therefore, flow into the first and the 3rd evaporimeter 45a, the cold-producing medium of 45c reduces, and does not freeze on the evaporimeter thus.
As the value T1 of the first and the 3rd indoor equipment, when T3 was " low ", bypass solenoid valve 51 was opened.By means of opening bypass solenoid valve 51, the part of the cold-producing medium that flows out from condenser 41 flows directly into compressor 47 through bypass solenoid valve 51 and bypass capillary 50, and does not flow through first and three capillary 43a, 43c, magnetic valve 48a, 48c and the first and the 3rd evaporimeter 45a, 45c.Therefore, supply with the first and the 3rd evaporimeter 45a, the refrigerant amount of 45c reduces, thereby can avoid evaporating device 45a, and 45c is last to freeze.
In the step S30 that controls refrigerant amount again, outdoor equipment control module 30 is supplied with the duty ratio when prepulse of corresponding solenoid valve according to the activity controlling value T control of the indoor equipment that drives.Consequently the aperture of magnetic valve is controlled, thereby controlled the cold-producing medium of inflow evaporator.In other words, if activity controlling value T is " height ", above-mentioned magnetic valve standard-sized sheet.For activity controlling value T be " in " and the situation of " low ", it is medium and little that the aperture of magnetic valve is respectively.Therefore, it is big that activity controlling value T becomes, and the aperture of magnetic valve also increases, and the cold-producing medium of supplying with evaporimeter increases.
For example, if the first indoor activity controlling value be " in ", in order to control the refrigerant amount of evaporimeter 45a of supply first indoor equipment, the aperture of magnetic valve 45a be " in ".As mentioned above, owing to supply with the activity that the cold-producing medium of evaporimeter depends on each chamber, reduced the power attenuation that causes by excessive cold-producing medium stream.
As mentioned above, in control multi-air conditioner of the present invention in the apparatus and method of refrigerant amount, can be according to the refrigerant amount of indoor equipment that drives number and people's activities amount control circulation.Therefore, the common air-conditioning device of apparatus of the present invention is housed but not the reversing air-conditioner can directly be controlled the cooling situation of room air.In addition, when having only seldom several indoor equipment operations, can reduce the cold-producing medium of supplying with evaporimeter, thereby make evaporimeter be unlikely to icing, and can reduce the power attenuation that causes because of excess refrigerant.
Though described preferred form of the present invention above, should understand that under the prerequisite that does not exceed protection scope of the present invention, this area ordinary skill can also be made various remodeling.
In view of the above, protection scope of the present invention is limited by described claim fully.
