[0025] Enable the recording function of the APP and record the first noise information before the range hood to be installed is turned on and the second noise information after the range hood to be installed is turned on.

[0026] The first noise information and the second noise information are transmitted to the server.

[0027] Secondly, this application provides a range hood installation data collection device, comprising:

[0043] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0044] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this application described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0045] In addition, the term "multiple" should mean two or more.

[0046] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0047] The method for collecting range hood installation data provided in this application can be applied to, for example... Figure 1In the application environment shown, the processing device may include a processor 102 and a memory 104. The memory 104 can be used to store installation survey information, product parameter information, first image information, and second image information. The processor 102 can be used to receive installation requests transmitted from the server. The installation request includes installation survey information and product parameter information corresponding to the range hood to be installed. The installation survey information includes at least the installation height of the range hood to be installed from the stove surface, the installation position of the range hood to be installed on the installation surface relative to the stove, and the installation position of the exhaust pipe of the range hood to be installed. Based on the product parameter information, installation height, range hood installation position, and exhaust pipe installation position, the processor performs installation detection processing on the range hood to be installed to obtain operating information and smoke detection information, and displays the operating information and smoke detection information through a display device. The processor captures first image information of the operating information displayed on the display device and second image information of the smoke detection information displayed on the display device, and transmits the first image information and second image information to the server. The processing device may also include a display 106, which can display the installation survey information, product parameter information, first image information, and second image information through a graphical interface. In one example, the processing device may be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a laptop, or a tablet.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a method for collecting range hood installation data is provided, which can be applied to... Figure 1 Taking processor 102 as an example, the following steps are included:

[0049] Step S210: Receive an installation request transmitted from the server. The installation request includes installation survey information and product parameter information for the range hood to be installed. The installation survey information includes at least the installation height of the range hood to be installed from the stove surface, the installation position of the range hood on the installation surface relative to the stove, and the installation position of the exhaust pipe of the range hood to be installed.

[0050] The installation request for the range hood to be installed can be transmitted from the server to the processor. The server can generate an installation order number for the corresponding range hood installation service, and assign an appropriate installer based on the installation order number, thereby generating an installer identification number for the installer. The server can also generate an equipment identification number for the range hood selected by the installer. It should be noted that the installation order number corresponds to a unique installer identification number and equipment identification number. For example, the installation request may include an installation order number. After confirming a match based on the installation order number assigned by the server, the installer's installer identification number is associated with the installation unit. Furthermore, the installer can determine the product model of the range hood based on the installation survey information corresponding to the installation order number, obtain the equipment identification number based on the product model, and establish a correspondence between the installation order number, installer identification number, and equipment identification number, allowing the installer to install the selected range hood according to the installation order number and equipment identification number.

[0051] Installation survey information refers to the survey information collected by surveyors during the installation of the area to be installed (such as the kitchen area). For example, kitchen installation survey information should at least include the installation height of the range hood from the cooktop, the installation position of the range hood relative to the cooktop on the installation surface, and the installation position of the exhaust pipe. Product parameter information may include the range hood's model number, dimensions, and power specifications.

[0052] For example, the processor can receive an installation request transmitted from the server, parse the installation request, and then obtain the installation survey information and product parameter information of the corresponding range hood to be installed. Furthermore, the installation survey information and product parameter information of the corresponding range hood to be installed can also be displayed on a monitor so that installers can view the installation survey information and product parameter information.

[0053] Step S220: Based on the product parameter information, installation height, range hood installation location, and exhaust pipe installation location, perform installation testing on the range hood to be installed to obtain operating information and smoke detection information, and display the operating information and smoke detection information through a display device.

[0054] Among them, installation height refers to the installation height of the range hood to be installed from the stove surface, range hood installation position refers to the installation position of the range hood relative to the stove surface, and exhaust pipe installation position refers to the installation position of the exhaust pipe corresponding to the range hood to be installed.

[0055] The processor can process product parameter information, installation height, range hood installation location, and exhaust pipe installation location to calculate the optimal operating parameters required for the range hood to be installed, thereby obtaining reference operating data for the range hood. For example, based on the product parameter information, the processor can obtain the power output range and fan speed range of the range hood to be installed. Based on the power output range and fan speed range, the processor can process the installation height, range hood installation location, and exhaust pipe installation location to obtain the optimal output power and optimal fan speed for the range hood to be installed. For instance, the optimal output power includes the minimum and maximum output power, and the optimal fan speed includes the minimum and maximum fan speeds.

[0056] The processor acquires the initial operating data of the range hood to be installed, processes it based on reference operating data to obtain adjusted operating information, and displays this adjusted operating information on the display device of the range hood to be installed. Furthermore, the processed adjusted operating information can be transmitted to the display device of the range hood to be installed, allowing for its display and optimization. The initial operating data refers to the factory default operating data of the range hood to be installed. For example, the initial operating data can be stored on a server, and the processor can retrieve the initial operating data of the range hood to be installed based on its device identification number. Alternatively, the initial operating data can be stored within the range hood to be installed and displayed on the display device when triggered by a specific button. The display device of the range hood to be installed can be a digital tube display or an LCD display. The initial operating data can include, but is not limited to, fan speed, output power, temperature value, and equipment operating status indicators.

[0057] Furthermore, the smoke generator can be placed at the stove location, and the range hood to be installed can be placed at the range hood installation location. By activating the smoke generator and the range hood, the smoke generator produces smoke, and the range hood extracts the fumes. During operation, the smoke overflow status at key sealing points is detected, thus obtaining smoke detection information. The processor can determine whether the smoke value exceeds a budget threshold based on this information. If it does, it is determined that smoke overflow has occurred at the key sealing point of the range hood; if not, it is determined that no smoke overflow has occurred. This allows installers to adjust the sealing of the key sealing points accordingly, ensuring they meet the required sealing performance.

[0058] Step S230: Capture first image information of the operation information displayed on the display device and second image information of the smoke detection information displayed on the display device, and transmit the first image information and the second image information to the server.

[0059] The processing equipment may also include a camera unit, which can capture first image information (displayed on the display device) showing operational information and second image information (displayed on the display device) showing smoke detection information. The first and second image information are transmitted to a server, which can then determine whether the range hood to be installed has passed the commissioning process based on the first image information. The server can also determine whether smoke leakage has occurred at the critical sealing points of the range hood based on the second image information. For example, the server can also evaluate the performance of the installation personnel based on the first and second image information. Furthermore, the server can store the first and second image information in a historical database as historical data for the range hood to be installed, so that subsequent testing of the corresponding model of range hood can directly access historical data, thereby improving installation and testing efficiency.

[0060] In the above embodiments, by receiving an installation request transmitted from the server, the installation request includes installation survey information and product parameter information of the range hood to be installed. The installation survey information includes at least the installation height of the range hood from the stove surface, the installation position of the range hood relative to the stove surface, and the installation position of the exhaust pipe. Based on the product parameter information, installation height, installation position, and exhaust pipe installation position, the range hood to be installed is subjected to installation detection processing to obtain operating information and smoke detection information, which are then displayed on a display device. A first image of the operating information and a second image of the smoke detection information displayed on the display device are captured and transmitted to the server, thereby collecting the first and second image information of the range hood to be installed. The server can then determine whether the installation quality of the range hood to be installed is qualified based on the first and second image information, and can also evaluate the installation work of the corresponding installers based on the first and second image information. This application collects installation inspection data, such as first and second image information of the range hood to be installed, and uploads the installation inspection data to a server. The server can then evaluate the installation quality of the range hood to be installed and the installation work of the installers based on the installation inspection data, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of evaluating the installation work of the installers.

[0061] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a method for testing the installation of a range hood is provided, which can be applied to... Figure 1 Taking processor 102 as an example, the following steps are included:

[0062] Step S310: Receive the installation request transmitted by the server. The installation request includes the installation survey information and product parameter information of the range hood to be installed. The installation survey information includes at least the installation height of the range hood to be installed from the stove surface, the installation position of the range hood on the range hood installation surface relative to the stove, and the installation position of the exhaust pipe of the range hood to be installed.

[0063] For a detailed explanation of step S310, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0064] Step S320: Based on the product parameter information, installation height, range hood installation location, and exhaust pipe installation location, perform installation testing on the range hood to be installed to obtain operating information and smoke detection information, and display the operating information and smoke detection information through a display device.

[0065] For a detailed explanation of step S320, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0066] Step S330: Capture the first image information of the operation information displayed on the display device and the second image information of the smoke detection information displayed on the display device.

[0067] For a detailed explanation of step S330 above, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0068] Step S340: Based on a preset image format, the first image information and the second image information are processed to obtain formatted first image information and formatted second image information.

[0069] The preset image format may include preset image pixels and preset image size, etc. The processor can perform format processing on the first image information and the second image information respectively based on the preset image format, so as to obtain the formatted first image information and the formatted second image information after unification.

[0070] Step S350: The formatted first image information and the formatted second image information are transmitted to the server.

[0071] The formatted first and second image information are transmitted to the server. The server can then determine whether the range hood to be installed has passed the commissioning process based on the formatted first image information. The server can also determine whether smoke leakage has occurred at the critical sealing points of the range hood based on the formatted second image information. For example, the server can also evaluate the performance of the installation personnel based on the formatted first and second image information. Furthermore, the server can store the formatted first and second image information in a historical database as foundational data for future big data verification of range hood installation quality. This allows subsequent installation and testing of the same model of range hood to directly access historical data, thereby improving installation and testing efficiency.

[0072] In one embodiment, after the step of performing installation inspection on the range hood to be installed based on product parameter information, installation height, range hood installation location, and exhaust pipe installation location, the following steps are included:

[0073] Start the installed range hood and stove; capture images of the range hood and stove in operation, and transmit the images to the server.

[0074] By activating the installed range hood and stove, the stove generates smoke, and the range hood extracts the smoke. During operation, images of the range hood and stove are captured and transmitted to a server. The server can then determine whether the range hood and stove are functioning properly based on these images. Alternatively, video footage of the range hood and stove's operation can also be captured and transmitted to the server.

[0075] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a method for testing the installation of a range hood is provided, which can be applied to... Figure 1 Taking processor 102 as an example, the following steps are included:

[0076] Step S410: Receive an installation request transmitted from the server. The installation request includes installation survey information and product parameter information for the range hood to be installed. The installation survey information includes at least the installation height of the range hood to be installed from the stove surface, the installation position of the range hood on the installation surface relative to the stove, and the installation position of the exhaust pipe of the range hood to be installed.

[0077] For a detailed explanation of step S410, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0078] Step S420: Based on the product parameter information, installation height, range hood installation location, and exhaust pipe installation location, perform installation testing on the range hood to be installed to obtain operating information and smoke detection information, and display the operating information and smoke detection information through a display device.

[0079] For a detailed explanation of step S420, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0080] Step S430: Capture first image information of the operation information displayed on the display device and second image information of the smoke detection information displayed on the display device, and transmit the first image information and the second image information to the server.

[0081] For a detailed explanation of step S430, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0082] Step S440: Capture the cabinet image information of the cabinet to be embedded with the range hood to be installed, and transmit the cabinet image information to the server.

[0083] The cabinet can be used to embed the range hood to be installed. For range hood installation scenarios with cabinets, after the range hood is embedded in the cabinet, an image of the cabinet is captured and transmitted to the server. The server can then determine the installation quality of the range hood based on the cabinet image. For example, after the range hood is embedded in the cabinet, a video of the corresponding cabinet can also be captured and transmitted to the server.

[0084] In the above embodiments, by collecting installation inspection data such as the first image information, the second image information, and the cabinet image information of the range hood to be installed, and uploading the installation inspection data to the server, the server can evaluate the installation quality of the range hood to be installed and the installation work of the installers based on the installation inspection data, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of evaluating the installation work of the installers.

[0085] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, a method for testing the installation of a range hood is provided, which can be applied to... Figure 1 Taking processor 102 as an example, the following steps are included:

[0086] Step S510: Receive the installation request transmitted by the server. The installation request includes the installation survey information and product parameter information of the range hood to be installed. The installation survey information includes at least the installation height of the range hood to be installed from the stove surface, the installation position of the range hood on the range hood installation surface relative to the stove, and the installation position of the exhaust pipe of the range hood to be installed.

[0087] For a detailed explanation of step S510, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0088] Step S520: Based on the product parameter information, installation height, range hood installation location, and exhaust pipe installation location, perform installation testing on the range hood to be installed to obtain operating information and smoke detection information, and display the operating information and smoke detection information through a display device.

[0089] For a detailed explanation of step S520, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0090] Step S530: Capture first image information of the operation information displayed on the display device and second image information of the smoke detection information displayed on the display device, and transmit the first image information and the second image information to the server.

[0091] For a detailed explanation of step S530, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0092] Step S540: Transmit an installation evaluation request to the user terminal; the installation evaluation request is used to instruct the user terminal to provide installation evaluation information.

[0093] The user terminal may be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, desktop computer, laptop computer, or tablet computer. After completing step S530, the processor may transmit an installation evaluation request to the user terminal, allowing the user to operate the user terminal, which will then display the installation to be evaluated content and instruct the user to fill in the installation evaluation information according to the installation evaluation request.

[0094] Step S550: Receive installation evaluation information transmitted from the user terminal and transmit the installation evaluation information to the server.

[0095] The user terminal can feed back installation evaluation information to the processor, which then receives the installation evaluation information transmitted by the user terminal to evaluate the installation work of the installers. The processor can also transmit the installation evaluation information to the server, using it as one of the criteria for evaluating installers. The server can then perform weighted processing on the installation evaluation information, first image information, second image information, and other installation detection data to obtain the final evaluation score for the corresponding installer.

[0096] In one embodiment, the step of capturing first image information of operational information displayed on the display device and second image information of smoke detection information displayed on the display device includes:

[0097] Launch the corresponding APP program for the range hood to be installed; turn on the camera function of the APP program to capture the first image information of the operation information displayed on the display device and the second image information of the smoke detection information displayed on the display device.

[0098] The APP program can be pre-installed on the processing device.

[0099] The processing equipment also includes a camera unit. The installer can operate the processing equipment to start the corresponding APP program for the range hood to be installed, start the camera unit, and then activate the camera function of the APP program to capture the first image information that displays the final operating information and the second image information that displays the smoke detection information on the display device, thereby obtaining the first image information and the second image information, and transmitting the first image information and the second image information to the server.

[0100] In the above embodiments, installation and testing data, such as the first and second image information of the range hood to be installed, are captured and collected, and then uploaded to the server. The server can then evaluate the installation quality of the range hood to be installed and the installation work of the installers based on the installation and testing data, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the evaluation of the installers' work. In addition, it is convenient to directly call historical data when installing and testing the corresponding model of range hood in the future, thereby improving the efficiency of installation and testing.

[0101] In one embodiment, after the step of performing installation inspection on the range hood to be installed based on product parameter information, installation height, range hood installation location, and exhaust pipe installation location, the following steps are included:

[0102] Launch the corresponding APP program for the range hood to be installed; enable the recording function of the APP program to record the first noise information before the range hood is turned on and the second noise information after the range hood is turned on; transmit the first noise information and the second noise information to the server.

[0103] The app can be pre-installed in the processing device, which also includes a recording module. Installers can operate the processing device to launch the app for the range hood to be installed, activate the recording module, and thus enable the app's recording function.

[0104] The system records the first noise level of the range hood before it is turned on, and uses this first noise level as background sound. It then records the second noise level after the range hood is turned on, and transmits both noise levels to the server. The server processes the noise levels to determine if they meet requirements. If they do, the noise level of the range hood is deemed acceptable; otherwise, it is deemed unacceptable.

[0105] In one example, the steps of recording the first noise information before the range hood to be installed is turned on and the second noise information after the range hood to be installed is turned on include:

[0106] The preset recording position is determined by the distance from the front of the range hood to be installed within a preset numerical range. At the preset recording position, the first noise information before the range hood to be installed is turned on and the second noise information after the range hood to be installed is turned on are recorded respectively.

[0107] The preset range of values ​​for the front can be determined based on the actual installation space; for example, the preset range can be set to 0.5 to 1.5 meters. By recording the first noise information before the range hood is turned on and the second noise information after the range hood is turned on at the preset recording position, and transmitting the first and second noise information to the server, the accuracy of recording the first and second noise information is improved.

[0108] In one example, the processing device is also used to acquire current geographic location information and transmit it to a server, thereby enabling real-time location tracking of the installers.

[0109] In one embodiment, the method for collecting range hood installation data further includes:

[0110] When the range hood is running after installation, the fan speed and output power of the corresponding range hood are detected; if the fan speed is greater than the preset speed threshold and the output power is less than the preset power threshold, the current state of the range hood is confirmed to be blocked.

[0111] Specifically, the processing equipment also includes a speed sensor and a power sensor. The speed sensor detects the fan speed of the corresponding range hood and transmits the detected fan speed to the processor. The power sensor detects the output power of the corresponding range hood and transmits the detected output power to the processor. The processor processes the fan speed and output power separately. When the fan speed is greater than a preset speed threshold and the output power is less than a preset power threshold, the processor confirms that the range hood is currently blocked and displays the blocked status on the range hood's built-in display device. This allows installers to perform timely maintenance and easily check whether the range hood is operating normally.

[0112] It should be understood that, although Figure 2-5 The steps in the flowchart are shown sequentially as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order requirement for the execution of these steps; they can be executed in other orders.
