を再度実行する。In this control, when the CCU performs the four-way valve alignment control, all the outdoor units are sequentially operated, and the positions of the four-way valves are switched in a direction corresponding to the operation mode. The CCU transmits whether or not the position of its own four-way valve has switched in the direction corresponding to the operation mode, and this CCU does not receive a success of switching the position of the four-way valve from all the outdoor units within a predetermined time (for example, 2 minutes). In this case, the operation is temporarily stopped, and the four-way valve adjustment control is executed again.

【発明が解決しようとする課題】上記四方弁合わせ制御
を行うにあたり、室外ユニットの台数が多い場合、すべ
ての室外ユニットを一度に起動すると、起動電流が大き
くなるため、従来、時間間隔をあけて室外ユニットを順
次起動させている。In performing the above four-way valve adjustment control, when the number of outdoor units is large, starting all of the outdoor units at once increases the starting current. The outdoor units are activated sequentially.
【0005】そのため、すべての室外ユニットにおける
四方弁位置の切り替わり判定に時間を要し、例えば2分
以内に判定できない恐れがある。この状態では、四方弁
合わせ制御を何回実行しても、失敗する恐れが高い。Therefore, it takes time to determine the switching of the four-way valve position in all the outdoor units, and for example, there is a possibility that the determination cannot be made within two minutes. In this state, no matter how many times the four-way valve control is executed, there is a high possibility that the control will fail.

ニットに高圧冷媒が流入する等の問題がある。It is conceivable to extend the above-mentioned predetermined time. However, if the predetermined time is extended, even if switching of the four-way valve is unsuccessful, the operation continues for a long time, so that high-pressure refrigerant flows into another outdoor unit. Problem.

When a plurality of outdoor units having a four-way valve are provided and the four-way valve alignment control is performed, all the outdoor units are sequentially operated and the positions of the four-way valves are switched in a direction coinciding with the operation mode, and all the outdoor units are operated. If the switching of the position of the four-way valve is not successful within the predetermined time, in an air conditioner that temporarily stops operation and executes the four-way valve adjustment control again, the position of the four-way valve is switched by the previous four-way valve adjustment control. Control means for starting the failed outdoor unit preferentially in the next four-way valve adjustment control is provided.

First, in FIG. 2e, the four-way valve A1 is switched in a direction corresponding to the operation mode in this case. As long as no inconvenience occurs in the four-way valve A1, if a positioning signal is output from the CCU 100, the four-way valve A1
1 switches in the direction corresponding to the operation mode. Whether or not this has been switched is determined by, for example, the outdoor heat exchanger 14A, 1
The temperature is detected by the temperature rise of the refrigerant flowing through the 4B, the gas pipe 5, the liquid pipe 7, and the like, and is transmitted from each of the outdoor units A to C to the CCU 100.

Two minutes have elapsed, and the switching operation of the four-way valve C1 ends in failure without performing the switching operation. Then, after temporarily stopping all the outdoor units, the CCU 100 shifts to the second four-way valve adjustment control. Conventionally, when shifting to the second four-way valve adjustment control,
The same control switching is repeated from the beginning in the order of the outdoor units A to C. This is the same thing, and again,
It is highly likely that the last four-way valve C1 will fail to switch.

る。In the present embodiment, when executing the second four-way valve adjustment control in FIG. 2A, as shown in FIG. 2D,
The outdoor unit C that failed to switch in the first four-way valve adjustment control is preferentially started. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2g, the four-way valve C1 is switched in a direction corresponding to the operation mode, and the four-way valve adjustment of all the outdoor units A to C is completed at the same time as the first time. According to this,
Since the outdoor unit that failed to switch the last time is preferentially started in the next four-way valve control, the four-way valve alignment that failed last time is almost completed within a maximum of two minutes unless there is a malfunction in the four-way valve. You can be sure of success.
