[0035] The realization, functional features, and advantages of the object of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments with reference to the drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0036] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0037] In some air conditioners, there is a reserved installation position for the air treatment component. Users can choose to replace the air treatment component according to their needs to adjust the air treatment effect of the air conditioner. For example, installing a dust removal module on the air conditioner enables the air conditioner to have a dust removal effect, or installing a humidification module on the air conditioner enables the air conditioner to have a humidification effect, or replacing the dust removal module with a disinfection and sterilization module enables the air conditioner to have a disinfection and sterilization effect. Since the air treatment component mainly treats air, and considering the structure of the air conditioner, the air treatment component is generally arranged in the air duct of the air conditioner. However, the position of the air treatment component in the air duct will affect the performance of the air treatment component itself or the adjustment performance of the air conditioner. Therefore, the reasonable installation of the air treatment component can enable the air conditioner to achieve a better and more suitable adjustment effect in the current state.

[0038] Based on the fact that the installation positions of the current air treatment components are randomly selected by users, the present invention proposes a recommended installation position method to make the air treatment effect of the air conditioner better when the air treatment component operates on the air conditioner. Optionally, the main technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention are: identifying the type of the air treatment module to be installed; determining a target installation position from the idle installation positions according to the type of the air treatment module to be installed, where the performance of the air treatment module to be installed is different at different installation positions; and outputting a prompt message of the target installation position.

[0039] To better understand the above technical solutions, the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0040] As an implementation manner, the hardware environment architecture involved in the recommended method for the installation position of the air treatment module can be as Figure 1 shown.

[0041] Specifically, the hardware architecture involved in the recommended method for the installation position of the air treatment module may include a terminal, such as a mobile terminal and the central control device (such as a large screen, etc.) of the air conditioner, and the terminal communicates with the air conditioner. Alternatively, the hardware architecture involved in the recommended method for the installation position of the air treatment module may also be an air conditioner with a processor.

[0042] As an implementation manner, the terminal includes: a processor 101, such as a CPU, a memory 102, and a communication bus 103. Among them, the communication bus 103 is used to realize the connection and communication between these components. The processor 102 is used to call an application program to execute the recommendation process.

[0043] The memory 102 can be a high-speed RAM memory or a stable memory (non-volatile memory), such as a disk memory.

[0044] At least one installation position for installing the air treatment module is provided on the air conditioner with which the terminal communicates. The air treatment module is detachably connected to the installation position, and the user can select to install the air treatment module according to requirements.

[0045] It can be understood that in one embodiment, the recommendation program for implementing the recommendation process of the installation position of the air treatment module is stored in the memory 102 of the air conditioner. When the processor 101 calls the recommendation program from the memory 102, the following operations are performed:

[0046] Identify the type of the air treatment module to be installed;

[0047] Determine a target installation position from the idle installation positions according to the type of the air treatment module to be installed, where the performance of the air treatment module to be installed is different at different installation positions;

[0048] Output a prompt message of the target installation position.

[0049] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the recommendation program for implementing the recommendation process of the installation position of the air treatment module is stored in the terminal. When the processor 101 of the terminal calls the recommendation program from the memory 102, the following operations are performed:

[0050] Identify the type of the air treatment module to be installed;

[0051] Determine a target installation position from the idle installation positions according to the type of the air treatment module to be installed, where the performance of the air treatment module to be installed is different at different installation positions;

[0052] Output a prompt message of the target installation position.

[0053] Alternatively, in yet another embodiment, the recommendation program for implementing the recommendation process of the installation position of the air treatment module is stored in a computer-readable storage medium. When the storage medium is applied to a computer, the processor 101 of the computer can call the recommendation program from the storage medium and perform the following operations:

[0054] Identify the type of the air treatment module to be installed;

[0055] Determine a target installation position from the idle installation positions according to the type of the air treatment module to be installed, where the performance of the air treatment module to be installed is different at different installation positions;

[0056] Output a prompt message of the target installation position.

[0057] Based on the above hardware architecture of the air conditioner, various embodiments of the recommended method for the installation position of the air treatment module of the present invention are proposed.

[0058] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , the recommended method for the installation position of the air treatment module proposed in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0059] Step S10, identify the type of the air treatment module to be installed;

[0060] Step S20, determine the target installation position from the idle installation positions according to the type of the air treatment module to be installed;

[0061] Among them, the performance of the air treatment module to be installed is different at different installation positions.

[0062] Step S30, output the prompt information of the target installation position.

[0063] In this embodiment, the recommended method for the installation position of the air treatment module can run on the air conditioner or on the mobile terminal. The following takes the application to the air conditioner as an example for illustration:

[0064] The air conditioner in this embodiment is a modular air conditioner. At least one installation position is provided on the air conditioner, and the installation position is used for selectively installing the air treatment module. The air treatment module is a module for adjusting air. For example, the air treatment module includes but is not limited to the following several types of air treatment modules, such as purification module, humidification module, negative ion module, formaldehyde removal module, filtration module, odor removal module, disinfection and sterilization module, silent module, oxygenation module, and so on.

[0065] When the air conditioner leaves the factory, basic modes are pre-configured, such as refrigeration, heating or humidification, etc. And based on the installation positions provided on the indoor unit (in a preferred embodiment, there are multiple installation positions), users can install other air treatment modules at any time to achieve other modes. In this way, when purchasing an air conditioner, users can choose to purchase, or purchase part of, or not purchase other air treatment modules based on their current needs, providing multiple choices for users. And based on the fact that the air conditioner only configures the basic heat exchange mode, the cost of the air conditioner is low, the air conditioner is economical and applicable, and based on the installation positions, new air treatment modules can be replaced at any time. Users can choose to upgrade the air conditioner at different time periods according to their own economic capabilities, or choose to replace the air treatment module according to new users or new usage requirements of users. In this way, the air conditioner applicable to this embodiment provides users with a low-cost and high-intelligence purchase experience, enabling more users with weak economic capabilities to use intelligent air conditioners, and at the same time improving the universality of the air conditioner.

[0066] In an alternative embodiment, the user can input the information of the air treatment module to be installed into the air conditioner through a voice command, and the air conditioner identifies the type of the air treatment module to be installed based on the voice command.

[0067] Alternatively, in another alternative embodiment, the user can input the air treatment module to be installed through the remote control or the input panel of the air conditioner, and the air conditioner identifies the type of the air treatment module to be installed based on the information input through the remote control or the input panel.

[0068] Alternatively, in a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , there is a near-field communication area 11 on the air conditioner 10. The user "touches" the air treatment module to be installed to the near-field communication area 11, and the air treatment module to be installed realizes communication with the air conditioner, and then automatically sends the identification information of the air treatment module to be installed to the air conditioner 10. The air conditioner identifies the type of the air treatment module to be installed based on the identification information received through near-field communication. Alternatively, when the air treatment module to be installed approaches the near-field communication area, the near-field communication area directly reads the identification information on the label of the air treatment module to be installed, and then identifies the air treatment module based on the identification information.

[0069] Optionally, the near-field communication area 11 is provided with an RFID reader / writer, and each air treatment module is provided with a label that can be read and identified by RFID. The type and other information of the air treatment module are identified on the label. Optionally, the near-field communication area 11 is arranged on the door body 13 corresponding to the installation position 12 on the air conditioner 10.

[0070] After the air conditioner identifies the type of the air treatment module to be installed, it determines the target installation position based on the mapping relationship between the preset type of the air treatment module and the installation position. Among them, the mapping relationship between the target installation position and the type of the air treatment module can be established based on the performance of each type of air treatment module in each installation position, and / or based on the influence of each type of air treatment module on other air treatment modules in each installation position.

[0071] Optionally, test the processing performance of each air handling module when operating at each installation position, then establish a mapping relationship between the installation position with better performance and this type of air handling module. Then, after identifying the air handling module to be installed, determine the target installation position of the air handling module to be installed based on the mapping relationship. Or, test the impact of each air handling module on the processing performance of other air handling modules when operating at each installation position, then establish a mapping relationship between the installation position that improves the performance of other air handling modules and this type of air handling module. Then, after identifying the air handling module to be installed, determine the target installation position of the air handling module to be installed based on the mapping relationship. Or, test the impact of each air handling module on the performance of the functions and / or modes that can be achieved when operating at each installation position, establish a mapping relationship between the installation position with better performance and this type of air handling module. Then, after identifying the air handling module to be installed, determine the target installation position of the air handling module to be installed based on the mapping relationship.

[0072] Then output a prompt message for the target installation position to prompt the user to install the air handling module to be installed at the target installation position. Based on the prompt message, the user can accurately install the air handling module to be installed at a position that makes the adjustment effect of the air conditioner better and more suitable.

[0073] Optionally, the output methods of the prompt message include but are not limited to at least one of the following:

[0074] (1) Control the indicator light at the target installation position to turn on. That is, at least one indicator light is provided at the corresponding position of each installation position of the air conditioner. When the indicator light is on, it indicates that the corresponding installation position is the target installation position.

[0075] (2) Play the voice information of the location where the target installation position is located. That is, the air conditioner has a player, and the voice information includes the location where the target installation position is located, and the installation position of the air handling module to be installed is prompted to the user in the form of voice broadcast.

[0076] (3) Display the location information of the target installation position. That is, the air conditioner has a display screen, and the display screen displays the location information of the target installation position. Optionally, the location information is dynamic location information, that is, the target installation position is displayed in a dynamic display manner.

[0077] In an embodiment, after the step of controlling the indicator light at the target installation position to turn on, it further includes: when detecting the insertion signal of the air handling module to be installed, control the indicator light to turn off. When the user installs the air handling module to be installed on the air conditioner, control the indicator light to turn off to reduce resource waste.

[0078] A detection component is provided at the installation position of the air conditioner for detecting whether an air treatment module has been installed at the installation position. When the detection component detects the air treatment module, it outputs the installation information of the air treatment module to the air conditioner. Based on the installation information, the air conditioner can determine whether the to-be-installed air treatment module has been installed, and whether the to-be-installed air treatment module is installed at the target installation position or at other idle installation positions.

[0079] Optionally, the detection component can be a tag identifier, and the tag identifier can specifically identify the type of the air treatment module; or the detection component can also be an electrical connection terminal. When the air treatment module is inserted into the installation position, the electrical connection terminal is turned on based on the conductive terminals of the air treatment module to form a signal loop, thereby realizing the identification of the air treatment module.

[0080] Optionally, the user can install the to-be-installed air treatment module according to the prompt information of the target installation position, or can also install it at other idle installation positions. When the user installs the to-be-installed air treatment module at other idle installation positions other than the target installation position, the difference between the performance corresponding to the other idle installation position and the performance corresponding to the target installation position is output for the user's reference.

[0081] In this embodiment, before installing the air treatment module in the air conditioner, by identifying the type of the to-be-installed air treatment module, then determining the target installation position from the idle installation positions according to the type of the to-be-installed air treatment module, and then outputting the prompt information of the target installation position to prompt the user of the installation position of the to-be-installed air treatment module. Since the performance of the to-be-installed air treatment module is different at different installation positions, this embodiment can recommend the target installation position based on the current performance requirements of the air conditioner for the to-be-installed air treatment module, so that when the to-be-installed air treatment module is installed at the target installation position, the air conditioner achieves a better adjustment effect.

[0082] Optionally, based on the above embodiment, this embodiment provides an implementation example for determining the target installation position.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 4 , in this embodiment, the step of determining the target installation position from the idle installation positions according to the type of the to-be-installed air treatment module includes:

[0084] Step S21, determining the weight value of each of the idle installation positions according to the type of the to-be-installed air treatment module;

[0085] Step S22, determining the idle installation position with the highest weight value as the target installation position, where the performance of the to-be-installed air treatment module is different at the installation positions, and the corresponding weight values of the installation positions are different.

[0086] In this embodiment, different weight values are assigned to the performance achieved by the air treatment module at each installation position. Then, the target installation position is determined by comparing the weight values of each installation position.

[0087] Optionally, the weight value can be found based on a preset table. For example, in a test experiment, a weight value is assigned corresponding to the performance that can be achieved when each type of air treatment module is installed at different installation positions, forming a table associating the weight value, the installation position, and the type of the air treatment module. When determining the type of the air treatment module, the weight value corresponding to each installation position is found based on the table, and then the installation position with the higher weight value is used as the target installation position.

[0088] Optionally, the weight value can also be calculated based on a weight value neural network model. For example, in a test experiment, each type of air treatment module is installed at different installation positions, and the corresponding air treatment performance is obtained respectively. In the neural network model, each type of air treatment module, its corresponding installation position, the achieved performance, and the assigned weight value are input. Based on the relationship between the type of the air treatment module, the installation position, the performance, and the weight value, the weight value neural network model is formed after multiple trainings in the neural network model. During the use of the air conditioner, after inputting the air treatment module to be installed and the idle installation positions into the weight value neural network model, the weight value neural network model outputs the weight values corresponding to each idle installation position, and then the target installation position of the air treatment module to be installed is determined based on the output weight values.

[0089] Optionally, since the performance of the air treatment module to be installed is different at different installation positions, the weight values of the corresponding installation positions are different. The relationship between the performance that the air treatment module can achieve based on the installation position and the weight value of the installation position can be a positive correlation. For example, the greater the performance, the greater the weight value. The relationship between the performance that the air treatment module can achieve based on the installation position and the weight value of the installation position can also be a non-positive correlation. For example, the greater the performance, the weight value may be large or small. Specifically, it can be determined according to the settings or usage scenarios of the air conditioner.

[0090] In one embodiment, it is set that the installation position of the air treatment module is determined based on the size of the performance. For example, the higher the performance of the air treatment module to be installed in the idle installation position, the higher the corresponding weight value. In this way, after installing the air treatment module to be installed at the target installation position, the performance achieved by the air treatment module to be installed when running in the air conditioner is higher than that achieved at other installation positions. Optionally, the idle installation position with the higher performance of the air treatment module to be installed can be the installation position with the highest performance when no other air treatment modules are installed in the air conditioner, or the installation position with the highest performance when other air treatment modules are installed in the air conditioner.

[0091] In another embodiment, the installation position of the air treatment module is set based on the current required performance of the air conditioner. For example, if the air conditioner currently needs to improve the performance of the installed air treatment module, then, the higher the performance of the installed air treatment module, the higher the corresponding weight value of the idle installation position (in some embodiments, the lower the performance of the air treatment module to be installed and the higher the performance of the installed air treatment module, at this time, the lower the performance of the air treatment module to be installed, the higher the corresponding weight value of the installation position; and in some embodiments, the higher the performance of the air treatment module to be installed and the higher the performance of the installed air treatment module, at this time, the higher the performance of the air treatment module to be installed, the higher the corresponding weight value of the installation position). In this way, after installing the air treatment module to be installed at the target installation position, the performance achieved by the installed air treatment module when operating in the air conditioner is higher than the performance achieved when the air treatment module to be installed is not installed.

[0092] In this embodiment, a weight value is assigned to each installation position based on the performance achieved by the air treatment module at the installation position, and the target installation position of the air treatment module to be installed is determined based on the magnitude of the weight value, so that after installing the air treatment module to be installed at the target installation position, the performance requirements of the air conditioner for the air treatment module to be installed are met, thus improving the adjustment effect of the air conditioner.

[0093] Optionally, based on all the above embodiments, this embodiment provides another embodiment for determining the target installation position.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 5 , step S20 includes:

[0095] Step S23, obtaining the type of the air treatment module installed in the air conditioner and the corresponding installed position;

[0096] Step S24, determining the weight value of each idle installation position according to the type of the air treatment module to be installed, the type of the installed air treatment module, and the installed position, wherein, the higher the performance of the function and / or mode realized by the combination of the air treatment module to be installed and the installed air treatment module, the higher the corresponding weight value of the installation position;

[0097] Step S22, determining the idle installation position with the highest weight value as the target installation position.

[0098] It should be noted that the function of the air treatment module refers to the function that the air treatment module itself possesses. For example, the corresponding function of the formaldehyde removal module is the formaldehyde removal function, and the corresponding function of the dust removal module is the dust removal function.

[0099] The mode refers to an operating method with certain characteristic effects, such as a new house mode, a newly decorated mode, a pregnant woman or confinement mode, and so on. The mode does not correspond one-to-one with the functions of the air treatment module. For example, the mode implemented by the formaldehyde removal module can be the new house mode, and this new house mode has the effect of formaldehyde removal.

[0100] Optionally, the combination of air treatment modules can achieve a certain function or a certain mode. For example, the combination of three formaldehyde removal modules can achieve super formaldehyde removal, and the combination of three formaldehyde removal modules can achieve the newly decorated mode.

[0101] In the solution where the air treatment module combination treats air, the positional relationship between the air treatment modules will affect the performance of the air treatment module. For example, when there is a certain gap between the dust removal modules, the dust removal effect is better. Or in the scenario where the air is humidified after dust removal, the adjustment effect corresponding to the fresh air mode is better, and the indoor air comfort is higher. Therefore, in order to further improve the adjustment effect of the air conditioner, this embodiment also determines the target installation position of the air treatment module to be installed based on the air treatment modules already installed in the air conditioner and their corresponding installed positions.

[0102] Optionally, this embodiment assigns a weight value to each installation position based on the performance level of the function and / or mode implemented by the air treatment module combination (the performance of the air treatment module itself is not directly proportional to the size of the weight value. The performance of the function and / or mode is high, and the performance of the air treatment module itself may be low or high). Then, the installation position with a high weight value is determined as the target installation position, so that the function and / or mode implemented by the air treatment module combination has the highest performance, and the air conditioner achieves a better adjustment effect. That is, the installation position that makes the function and / or mode implemented by the air treatment module to be installed and the installed air treatment module combination have a higher performance has a higher corresponding weight value.

[0103] Optionally, this embodiment is applied to the usage scenario where the air conditioner includes at least one installed air treatment module.

[0104] In an optional embodiment, this embodiment pre-sets the mapping relationship of the weight values of the air treatment modules for implementing different functions and / or modes at each installation position. After determining the functions and / or modes implemented by the air treatment module to be installed and the installed air treatment modules, based on the mapping relationship of the weight values of the air treatment modules for the functions and / or modes at each installation position and the installed positions, the target installation position of the air treatment module to be installed is determined.

[0105] Or, in another optional embodiment, a function and / or mode neural network model is set up to calculate the weight values of the air treatment modules corresponding to each function and / or mode at each installation position. The specific process is the same as the above Figure 4The same as the illustrated embodiments, which will not be repeated here one by one.

[0106] Optionally, in a further embodiment, it is determined whether to perform the step of determining the weight value of each idle installation position according to the type of the air treatment module to be installed, the type of the installed air treatment module, and the installed position, or to perform the step of determining the weight value of each idle installation position according to the type of the air treatment module to be installed, based on the currently operating function and / or mode of the air conditioner. For example, when the currently operating function and / or mode of the air conditioner is the function and / or mode implemented by the air treatment module to be installed and the installed air treatment module, then based on the performance level of the function and / or mode, the weight value of each idle installation position is determined according to the type of the air treatment module to be installed, the type of the installed air treatment module, and the installed position, so as to improve the performance of the function and / or mode. When the currently operating function and / or mode of the air conditioner is not the function and / or mode implemented by the air treatment module to be installed and the installed air treatment module, then based on the performance level of the air treatment module to be installed, the weight value of each idle installation position is determined according to the type of the air treatment module to be installed, and the air treatment module to be installed operates with better performance, so that the air conditioner operates with better effects.

[0107] In this embodiment, when installing the air treatment module, the function and / or mode implemented by the air treatment module reaches a better adjustment effect.

[0108] Optionally, based on all the above embodiments, an embodiment of the recommendation method is provided in an embodiment of the present invention. There are multiple installation positions in the air conditioner, and when at least two air treatment modules are installed in the installation positions, the processing capabilities of the air treatment modules affect each other, that is, the positional relationship between the air treatment modules has a certain impact on the performance of the air treatment modules (it may be a positive impact or a negative impact). Based on this, in this embodiment, the target installation position of the air treatment module to be installed is determined based on the installation situation of the air treatment modules in the air conditioner, so as to further improve the processing effect of the air conditioner.

[0109] Optionally, the target installation position of the air treatment module to be installed is different based on whether there is an installed air treatment module in the air conditioner. That is, the target installation position corresponding to the case where there is an installed air treatment module in the air conditioner may be different from the target installation position corresponding to the case where there is no installed air treatment module in the air conditioner.

[0110] Optionally, the step of determining a target installation position in the idle installation positions according to the type of the air handling module to be installed includes: obtaining the installation information of the air handling modules already installed in the air conditioner; when the installation information of the installed air handling modules is not obtained, then determining the target installation position in each idle installation position according to the type of the air handling module to be installed, as Figure 4 shown in the embodiments.

[0111] When the installation information of the installed air handling modules is obtained, then determining the target installation position in each idle installation position according to the type of the air handling module to be installed, the type of the installed air handling module, and their corresponding installed positions. For example, there is a mapping relationship between the air handling module combinations and their combined positions. Based on this, after determining the installed air handling module and its corresponding installed position, the target installation position of the air handling module to be installed can be determined, as Figure 5 the embodiments.

[0112] This embodiment automatically selects a more suitable installation method for the current state of the air conditioner based on the installation information of the air handling modules in the air conditioner, making the installation effect of the air handling modules better.

[0113] Optionally, based on all the above embodiments, this embodiment proposes another embodiment. Optionally, the step of identifying the type of the air handling module to be installed includes: when receiving the identification information of the air handling module based on near-field communication, determining whether the air conditioner has idle installation positions; if so, identifying the type of the air handling module to be installed based on the identification information. If not, then outputting a prompt message indicating that the installation positions are full.

[0114] In this embodiment, when receiving the identification information of the air handling module in the near-field communication area, first judge whether there are idle installation positions in the air conditioner. If there are, then identify the type of the air handling module to be installed, and then determine the target installation position. If not, then output a prompt message indicating that the installation is full.

[0115] Optionally, when outputting the prompt message indicating that the installation positions are full, the installation positions of the replaceable air handling modules can also be output, prompting the user that the air handling modules at these positions can be replaced. Optionally, the installation positions of the replaceable air handling modules can be determined based on the methods described in the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0116] It should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structural or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
