Abstract
An air conditioner includes an indoor unit, an outdoor unit, and a controller. The outdoor unit is connected to the indoor unit, and the outdoor unit includes a housing, a compressor, a four-way valve, an outdoor fan, a separating device, and a plurality of outdoor heat exchangers arranged in parallel. The controller is coupled to the compressor, the four-way valve, the outdoor fan, and the driving assembly, and is configured to control a first portion of a refrigerant flowing out from the compressor to flow into an outdoor heat exchanger; control a second portion of the refrigerant flowing out from the compressor to flow into the indoor unit; and when a time in which the first portion of the refrigerant flows into the outdoor heat exchanger is less than a first preset time, prevent a refrigerant flowing out from the indoor unit from flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger, and control the driving assembly to drive the wind blocking portion to move, so as to separate the outdoor fan from the outdoor heat exchanger.
