After the liquid refrigerant flows into the lower space 142 through the pipeline, the lower space 142 heats the refrigerant, if the flow rate of the liquid refrigerant is fast, the heating power of the lower space 142 is low, and the liquid refrigerant is discharged from the first gas discharge end of the lower space 142 and enters the compressor 11 without being vaporized to be gaseous, so as to cause liquid slugging of the compressor 11, in order to avoid this phenomenon, as shown in fig. 2, on the basis of the above embodiment, a second valve 19 is further disposed between the first gas discharge end of the lower space 142 and the gas suction end of the compressor 11, so that the flow rate of the liquid refrigerant is fast, the power of the heating device is low, the evaporation rate is low, or the liquid refrigerant is closed when the liquid refrigerant is in the lower space 142 and the heating component of the lower space 142 is not opened, so as to prevent the liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor 11.
Since the liquid refrigerant is rapidly evaporated to a gaseous state when the heating device 15 is in operation, the pressure in the lower space 142 may be very high, and the problem of the excessive pressure cannot be solved only by the second valve 19, in order to further release the pressure in the lower space 142, as shown in fig. 2, on the basis of the above embodiment, the second gas discharge end of the lower space 142 is communicated with the gas discharge end of the upper space 141 through the pressure balance pipeline, the pressure balance pipeline is further provided with a third valve 110, which is used for opening when the pressure value in the lower space 142 is greater than the preset pressure value, so that the gaseous refrigerant in the lower space 142 is merged with the gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge end of the upper space 141 through the third valve 110 and then returned to the compressor, thereby reducing the pressure in the lower space 142, and the pressure in the lower space 142 is maintained within a normal range in cooperation with the second valve 19.
In order to realize the effect of enthalpy increase, the first exhaust end of the lower space 142 of the gas-liquid separator is further communicated with the enthalpy injection pipeline of the compressor 11 through a pipeline for enthalpy increase, and the pipeline is further provided with an enthalpy increase valve 111 for controlling whether the gaseous refrigerant discharged from the exhaust end of the gas-liquid separator enters the enthalpy injection pipeline.

Through this structure, can effectively promote system's evaporation side pressure, prevent that evaporation temperature from crossing excessively for indoor heat exchanger 33 frosts. And the frequency of the outer fan can be reduced simultaneously, and the situation that the high-pressure side pressure is too low and further the low-pressure side pressure is influenced is prevented.

In specific implementation, if it is detected that the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger pipeline is lower than a first preset temperature for a period of time, it is indicated that the indoor heat exchanger is frosted, at this time, the heating device should be started to heat the liquid refrigerant in the gas-liquid separator so as to increase the pressure in the system and raise the evaporation temperature of the indoor heat exchanger, wherein the first preset temperature is set according to an experimental value or an empirical value, and the set method is that when the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger pipeline is lower than a certain temperature, the indoor heat exchanger is frosted, and the temperature is set as the first preset temperature.
In addition, in order to more accurately judge the state of the air conditioning system, the temperature of the outdoor environment can be detected before the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger pipeline is detected, if the temperature of the outdoor environment is lower than a preset threshold value, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger pipeline is continuously detected, if the temperature of the outdoor environment is higher than or equal to the preset threshold value, the temperature of the outdoor environment is continuously detected until the temperature of the outdoor environment is lower than the preset threshold value, and then the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger pipeline is detected, wherein the preset threshold value can be zero degrees centigrade.
In a specific implementation, in order to control the liquid refrigerant flowing out of the upper space of the gas-liquid separator to flow into the lower space, the method further includes: and controlling a first valve arranged on a pipeline between the upper space and the lower space of the gas-liquid separator to be opened so as to control the liquid refrigerant in the upper space of the gas-liquid separator to flow into the lower space.
After the liquid refrigerant flows into the lower space 142 through the pipeline, the lower space 142 heats the refrigerant, if the flow rate of the liquid refrigerant is fast, the heating power of the lower space 142 is small, and the liquid refrigerant is discharged from the first gas discharge end of the lower space 142 to the compressor 11 without being evaporated into a gas state, so as to cause liquid slugging of the compressor 11, in order to avoid this phenomenon, a second valve 19 is further disposed between the first gas discharge end of the lower space 142 and the gas suction end of the compressor 11, so that when the flow rate of the liquid refrigerant is fast, the power of the heating device is small, the evaporation rate is low, or the second valve 19 is closed under the condition that the liquid refrigerant is in the lower space 142 and the heating component of the lower space 142 is not opened, so that if the heating device of the gas-liquid separator is triggered to work, the second valve 19 is in a closed state, the opening of the second valve is controlled after the heating device triggering the gas-liquid separator works.
Because the heating device does not need to be started when the air conditioning system normally operates, in order to control the heating device to be closed when the air conditioner normally operates and avoid energy waste, after the heating device of the gas-liquid separator is controlled to be started, the method further comprises the following steps: the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger pipeline is detected, the temperature of the pipeline is detected through the temperature sensor, and the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger pipeline is detected by the temperature sensor in real time; if the temperature of the pipeline is higher than a second preset temperature and lasts for a second preset time, it is indicated that the indoor heat exchanger is not frosted, and the air conditioner normally operates, the heating device is triggered to stop working, wherein the second preset temperature is higher than the first preset temperature, the second preset temperature is set according to an experimental value or an empirical value, the set method is that when the temperature of the pipeline of the indoor heat exchanger is higher than a certain temperature, the indoor heat exchanger is determined not to be frosted, and the temperature is set as the second preset temperature.
After the heating device is turned on, the liquid refrigerant may be rapidly evaporated into a gaseous state, and the pressure inside the space below the gas-liquid separator may be increased, and in order to prevent the pressure inside the space below the gas-liquid separator from being too high, the method further includes: detecting the pressure value in the lower space of the gas-liquid separator; and when the pressure value in the lower space of the gas-liquid separator is greater than the preset pressure value, controlling a third valve arranged on a pipeline between the second exhaust end of the lower space of the gas-liquid separator and the exhaust end of the upper space of the gas-liquid separator to open so that the gaseous refrigerant in the lower space passes through the third valve and then is merged with the gaseous refrigerant exhausted from the exhaust end of the upper space and then returns to the compressor, and reducing the pressure in the lower space of the gas-liquid separator.
According to the control method of the air conditioning system, the running state of the air conditioner is judged by detecting the discharge of the outlet end of the indoor heat exchanger, when the evaporation temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is lower than the set temperature, the evaporation temperature of the indoor heat exchanger can be effectively improved by opening the heating device, the frosting of the indoor heat exchanger can be effectively prevented, and the refrigeration effect of the air conditioner is ensured.
