Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent decoration technology, and in particular to a floor heating coil design method and system. Background Art

[0002] Plumbing and electrical installations are concealed works within the interior design industry, invisible and irreversible. The placement of plumbing models and the layout of their piping must comply with national standards and industry practices, and are typically completed on-site by experienced plumbers. This demand has driven the emergence of interior design software, and with the advancement of computer graphics and computer vision technologies, its application is expanding. This software applies computer graphics to the interior design field.

[0003] When using interior design software, the vast majority of designs rely on manual design and lack intelligent generation capabilities. This is particularly true for plumbing and electrical installations within interior design software, where users must expend considerable effort on model placement and adjustment, establishing and adjusting relationships between models, and routing and adjusting pipelines. Different national standards exist for different wiring types, and different layout methods apply to different apartment types. Different users have varying needs, and even regional and customary practices can lead to differing layout rules. These diverse intelligent generation methods are not explicitly restricted by national standards.

[0004] Floor heating wiring is a very important function in the field of water and electricity decoration. It is suitable for various complex house types, with a large number of wire pipes and high technical requirements. These wire pipes must be uniform, horizontal and vertical, and cannot cross. Therefore, it is necessary to use computer algorithms to automatically realize floor heating wiring. Floor heating coil design belongs to the core function of floor heating wiring. How to arrange floor heating coils neatly, quickly, accurately, and without crossing pipelines, there is currently no better solution. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a floor heating coil design method and system, which uses decoration design software to generate floor heating coils based on the house type using the main axis expansion method to solve the above technical problems.

[0033] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings:

[0034] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and system for generating floor heating coils based on the house type using the main axis expansion method in decoration design software, which can automatically achieve neat, fast, accurate and non-crossing floor heating wiring with the help of computer algorithms.

[0035] The present invention provides a method for designing floor heating coils. Figure 1 , including: setting the abstract main axis point of the coil; traversing the abstract main axis point to generate an abstract main axis path of the coil; generating an offset point according to the abstract main axis point; generating an offset path according to the main axis path and the offset point; and adjusting the offset path to obtain a coil path.

[0036] first, Figure 2-4 Schematic diagrams of the spiral coil, the circuitous coil, and the abstract main axis of the spiral circuitous coil are respectively given. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, taking the spiral coil as an example, it introduces how to abstract the main axis of the floor heating coil. First, draw the real coil, and then fill in the loop. The loop is a very thick path; draw the main axis on the center line of this very thick path; then only keep the main axis and delete the other parts. In this way, the complex coil is abstracted into a simple main axis. Figure 3-4 The process of abstracting the main axis of the circuitous coil and the spiral circuitous coil is given respectively, which is similar to that of the spiral coil and will not be repeated here.

[0037] Figure 5 The diagram shows the relationship between the coil spacing and the main shaft spacing. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the coil spacing refers to the distance between two parallel coils, and the spindle spacing refers to the distance between two parallel spindles. Figure 5 It can be seen that the spindle spacing is equal to twice the coil spacing.

[0038] The following describes how to set the coil's abstract principal axis point. The coil area is abstracted into a grid area, grid lines, and grid points. Using the principal axis spacing, draw many parallel horizontal and vertical lines to form the grid lines. Intersecting horizontal and vertical lines form grid points. These grid points constitute the coil's abstract principal axis point. A path-finding algorithm is used to find a path within the grid area, connecting the grid points. Numerous path-finding algorithms are available, and they can be customized, providing great flexibility.

[0039] Figure 6 The method of generating a spiral spindle path according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. Figure 6 As you can see, a rectangular region has four vertices. Take one vertex and continue searching for adjacent points along a straight line. After searching for a straight line, turn 90 degrees and continue searching for adjacent points along the next straight line. Already found points are stored in the path set and cannot be accessed again. By analogy, we can obtain a spiral main axis path.

[0040] After obtaining the principal axis point and generating the principal axis path, you need to further obtain offset points. A principal axis point can have multiple adjacent principal axis points, arranged in a counterclockwise order. Offset distances are set for each principal axis point. Consecutive adjacent principal axis points can generate counterclockwise corners. Corners are limited to 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees, and 360 degrees. Using the principal axis point, corner, and offset distance, one or two corresponding offset points can be generated. Figure 7-10 Schematic diagrams of the positions of the offset points corresponding to the 90-degree, 180-degree, 270-degree, and 360-degree corners are given respectively.

[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, corner CBA = 90 degrees, generating inner corner point B. Point B is moved along direction BA by offset distance offset to obtain point M. Point M is moved along direction BC by offset distance offset to obtain point N, which is the offset point. The offset distance offset = coil spacing / 2.

[0042] like Figure 8 As shown, corner DEF = 180 degrees, generating a parallel point E. Point E rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise along direction DE and moves by offset distance offset to obtain point L, which is the offset point. The offset distance offset = coil spacing / 2.

[0043] like Figure 9 As shown, corner GHK = 270 degrees, generating an outer corner point H. Point H is moved along direction GH by offset distance offset to obtain point R. Point R is moved along direction KH by offset distance offset to obtain point S, which is the offset point. The offset distance offset = coil spacing / 2.

[0044] like Figure 10 As shown, corner PQP = 360 degrees, generating an exterior corner point Q. Point Q is moved by offset distance offset along direction PQ to obtain point U; point U is moved by offset distance offset along direction PQ rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise to obtain point V; point U is moved by offset distance offset along direction PQ rotated 90 degrees clockwise to obtain point W. Points V and W are offset points.

[0045] Based on the offset points generated above, an offset path is further generated. Figure 11 As shown, the thick line shows the spindle path, and the outer contour composed of the thin line shows the offset path.

[0046] The following describes how to generate an offset path using a main axis path. The main axis path is represented using the main axis adjacent point notation: point A, adjacent point B; point B, adjacent point ACE; point C, adjacent point BD; point D, adjacent point C; and point E, adjacent point B. The main axis points are traversed counterclockwise using a depth-based search algorithm, starting from a point and traversing the adjacent points in a counterclockwise direction. A point may be visited multiple times. Starting from point A, the main axis path is ABCDCBEBA.

[0047] Three consecutive points along the main axis form a corner. ABC forms a 180-degree corner, BCD forms a 90-degree corner, CDC forms a 360-degree corner, DCB forms a 270-degree corner, and so on.

[0048] Use corners to generate offset points and bind the offset points to the corners. The offset point of corner ABC = B1, the offset point of corner BCD = C1, the offset point of corner CDC = D1, D2, the offset point of corner DCB = C2, the offset point of corner CBE = B3, the offset point of corner BEB = E2, E1, the offset point of corner EBA = B2, and the offset point of corner BAB = A2, A1.

[0049] Next, traverse the offset points counterclockwise. The previous step already yielded the results of counterclockwise traversal of the corners, as well as the correspondence between corners and offset points. While traversing the corners counterclockwise, collecting the offset points, we obtain the results of counterclockwise traversal of the offset points. This yields the offset path: B1C1D1D2C2B3E2E1B2A2A1.

[0050] Finally, adjust the offset path. If different main axis points have multiple different offset paths, it will result in the generation of diagonal lines. Traverse the offset path, and if you encounter a diagonal line, adjust the diagonal path to a straight path. Figure 12As shown in the figure, the original offset path includes diagonal lines EJ and KG. For diagonal line KG, determine the point G2 that is closest to line GH from point K. Adjust G and move it to G2 to eliminate diagonal line KG. For diagonal line JE, determine the point E2 that is closest to line EF from point J. Adjust E and move it to E2 to eliminate diagonal line JE.

[0051] After adjustment, the design of the entire floor heating coil is completed, and the offset path is the layout path of the floor heating coil. Figure 13 As shown, the final effect of the floor heating coil layout is shown.

[0052] The present invention also proposes a floor heating coil design system, which includes: a coil abstract main axis point setting unit, used to set the coil abstract main axis point; a coil abstract main axis path generation unit, used to traverse the abstract main axis point to generate a coil abstract main axis path; an offset point generation unit, used to generate an offset point according to the abstract main axis point; an offset path generation unit, used to generate an offset path according to the main axis path and the offset point; and an offset path adjustment unit, used to adjust the offset path to obtain a coil path. Figure 13 The structure diagram of the system is shown, and its execution process corresponds to the above-mentioned floor heating coil design method, which will not be repeated here.

[0054] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, and the computer program implements the above-mentioned floor heating coil design method when executed by a processor.

[0055] Through the above-mentioned floor heating coil design method and system settings, with the help of computer algorithms, floor heating wiring is automatically realized, and floor heating coils are automatically generated using the main axis expansion method, so that floor heating wiring is neat, fast, accurate, and pipelines do not cross.
