  • Publication number: 20210215371
    Abstract: To solve the problem that a resonance phenomenon occurs between an outdoor unit and a compressor of existing air conditioners, embodiments include a compressor and a pipeline connected to the compressor. A control method includes obtaining a vibration displacement of the pipeline during the operation of the air conditioner and recording it as a first vibration displacement; obtaining the vibration displacement of the pipeline again after time has elapsed and recording it as a second vibration displacement; and selectively adjusting operating parameters of the compressor according to the first vibration displacement and the second vibration displacement. The vibration condition of the outdoor unit is determined through the real-time vibration condition and the vibration change condition of the pipeline so the air conditioner can selectively change the operating parameters of the compressor according to the vibration condition. Thus the vibration condition of the compressor is changed to avoid pipeline damage.

  • Publication number: 20210167990
    Abstract: A relay device and a multi-split control system that achieve reliable communication between an outdoor air conditioning unit and multiple indoor units under the condition that the length of a communication bus is limited. The system expands the communication distance by a cascade path formed by a plurality of relay devices. The cascade path transmits control signals sent by a master control device/a specific slave control device (i.e. a slave control device communicating with the master control device or certain relay device) to corresponding slave control devices one by one, and the corresponding slave control devices transmit the signals to the master control device/specific slave control device according to a response signal fed back by the control signal, where the relay devices may respectively communicate with a source node device and a destination node device on the basis of the master-slave type communication mode.

  • Publication number: 20210126895
    Abstract: An address competition method of a multi-connected type control system. The method aims at solving the problem of how to set an indoor machine communication address in the multi-connected type air conditioner system efficiently. For the purpose, a primary control device (such as an air conditioner outdoor machine) performs broadcasting on each address in a preset address section in sequence. A slave control device (such as the air conditioner indoor machine) responds to the primary control device on the basis of preset responding time and the number of currently broadcasting times of the primary control device. The primary control device to which a communication address is distributed temporarily is responded so as to finish address competition rapidly. Meanwhile, the primary control device can perform continuous broadcasting on one address for repeatedly, so that the competition success rate of the address is increased.

  • Publication number: 20210099418
    Abstract: An address competition method of a multi-connection type control system, intended to solve the problem of how to increase the efficiency of indoor air-conditioner unit address configuration where, according to the order in which a first slave control device initiates an address request, a relay device allocates, in sequence, temporary addresses to all first slave control devices, and according to the temporary addresses, initiates address requests in sequence to a master control device; according to the order in which a second slave control device initiates an address request, the master control device allocates, in sequence, official addresses to all second slave control devices; according to the temporary addresses, the relay device allocates the official addresses to the corresponding first slave control devices. The method can efficiently allocate an address to an indoor air-conditioner unit, and ensures that the address of each indoor air-conditioner unit is unique.

  • Publication number: 20200208890
    Abstract: A defrosting control method for a multi-split system is provided. A multi-split system comprises an outdoor unit and multiple indoor units. An expansion valve is provided on a connecting pipeline between each of the indoor units and the outdoor unit. When the expansion valve of each activated indoor unit is closed and the degree of opening of the expansion valve of each off-state indoor unit is less than or equal to a maximum set degree of opening, the system satisfies a defrosting requirement, and as a result the method controls the expansion valve of each activated indoor unit to remain closed, thereby resolving the issue of a dramatic temperature drop in a room having an activated indoor unit during defrosting and improving user satisfaction. The degree of opening of the expansion valve of a off-state indoor unit is Off_PLS, and is controlled such that Off_PLS=ALL_HP*Avg_PLS/Off_HP.
