[0120] Example 1

[0121] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an automatic component placement method disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The described method can be applied to an automated component placement device, which may include one of the following: a component placement server (including a local server or a cloud server), a component placement system, a component placement platform, and component placement equipment. Figure 1 As shown, the automatic placement method for this component may include the following operations:

[0122] 101. Identify multiple first components within the target area.

[0123] In this embodiment of the invention, optionally, the target area can be understood as the space occupied by each floor of a building, or as each sub-space divided within the space occupied by a floor. Each target area has corresponding identification information. Also optionally, the type of all first components can be, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: lighting fixtures, kitchen appliances, air conditioners, and audio-visual equipment.

[0124] In this embodiment of the invention, optionally, building information containing data such as components of the target area is input into a BIM (Building Information Modeling) model for analysis to obtain multiple first components within the target area.

[0125] 102. Based on the information of each first component in the target area, analyze the component identification method that matches the target area.

[0126] In this embodiment of the invention, optionally, the information of each first component in the target area includes one or more of the following: the location of the first component, the function of the first component, and the type of the first component. The more information a component contains, the more accurate the determination of the component identification method becomes.

[0127] 103. Based on the component identification method of the target area, assign corresponding identification information to each of the first components in the target area.

[0128] In this embodiment of the invention, the identification information of each first component includes, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: coded identifier, Chinese character identifier, graphic identifier, and special character identifier.

[0129] It is evident that implementation Figure 1 The described automatic component placement method can automatically analyze the location, type, and function of components such as lighting fixtures within an area (e.g., a floor), accurately analyze the component identification method of such components, and place corresponding identifications (e.g., codes) on the components within the area based on this accurate identification method. This achieves automatic component placement, simplifies the component placement operation, reduces the occurrence of long rework times and high rework rates due to manual placement, improves the efficiency and accuracy of component placement, and helps improve the quality of component placement. It is also applicable even when a large number of components need to be placed, while saving costs.

[0130] In an optional embodiment, when the information of each first component in the target region includes at least the location of the first component, the method may further include the following operations:

[0131] Determine the location of the resource provision area of ​​the target area, wherein the resource provision equipment of the resource provision area of ​​the target area is used to provide resources for all the first components of the target area;

[0132] In this optional embodiment, based on the information of each first component in the target area, the component identification method matching the target area is analyzed, including:

[0133] Based on the location of each first component in the target area and the location of the resource providing equipment in the target area, analyze the distance between each first component in the target area and the resource providing equipment in the target area.

[0134] Based on the distance to each first component in the target area and other information about that first component, analyze the component identification method that matches the target area;

[0135] In this optional embodiment, the resource providing equipment of the target area includes, but is not limited to, the power supply equipment of the power supply area (also known as the power room) of the target area, the water supply equipment of the water supply area of ​​the target area, or the heating equipment of the heating area of ​​the target area.

[0136] For example, the resource provision area is a power supply room. All the first components are lamp 1, lamp 2, and lamp 3. The arrangement order starts from the side closest to the power supply room. By calculating that the distance between lamp 1, lamp 2, and lamp 3 and the power supply room is 20 meters, lamp 1 is the lamp with the first number in the current area. The distances between lamp 2 and lamp 3 and lamp 1 are 50 meters and 30 meters, respectively, so lamp 3 is the lamp with the second number in the current area, and lamp 2 is the lamp with the third number in the current area. And if the floor number of the current area is X, the abbreviation of the lamp is D. So the order of the lamps in the current area is: lamp 1, lamp 3, lamp 2, and respectively XD-1, XD-2, and XD-3.

[0137] As can be seen, this optional embodiment can improve the accuracy and reliability of component identification analysis by first calculating the distance between the location of the resource provision area in the region and the location of each component, and then analyzing the component identification method of the region together with the location, function and type of the component. This is conducive to improving the accuracy and reliability of component layout in the region.

[0139] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a flowchart illustrating another method for automatically arranging components according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The described method can be applied to an automated component placement device, which may include one of the following: a component placement server (including a local server or a cloud server), a component placement system, a component placement platform, and component placement equipment. Figure 2 As shown, the automatic placement method for this component may include the following operations:

[0140] 201. Identify multiple first components within the target area. The types of all first components include one or more of the following: lighting type, kitchenware type, air conditioning type, and audio-visual equipment type.

[0141] 202. Based on the information of each first component in the target area, analyze the component identification method that matches the target area.

[0142] In this embodiment of the invention, the information of each first component in the target area includes one or more of the following: the location of the first component, the function of the first component, and the type of the first component.

[0143] 203. Based on the component identification method of the target area, assign corresponding identification information to each of the first components in the target area.

[0144] 204. Determine at least one driving device for all first components used to drive the target area, and query the driving information of each driving device.

[0145] In this embodiment of the invention, optionally, the driving information of each driving device includes the maximum number of components that the driving device can drive (e.g., 2, 4, etc.) and / or the type of components that the driving device can drive (e.g., lamp type, kitchenware type, etc.).

[0146] In this embodiment of the invention, optionally, determining at least one driving device for driving all first components in the target area includes: detecting the driving device selected by the target person as at least one driving device for driving all first components in the target area; and / or determining at least one driving device for driving all first components in the target area based on information about all first components in the target area. This automatic determination of the driving device based on component information by detecting the driving device selected by the person and / or by a device improves the flexibility, efficiency, and probability of determining the driving device.

[0147] 205. Based on the component information of the target area and the driving information of each driving device, divide all the first components of the target area into components to obtain at least one component set. Each component set includes at least one first component, and each component set has a matching driving device.

[0148] In this embodiment of the invention, the component information of the target area includes one or more of the following: the number of all first components in the target area, the type of each first component, the function of each first component, and the identification information of each first component. It should be noted that when the component information of the target area does not include the identification information of each first component, the occurrence of steps 204, 202, and 203 is not sequential.

[0149] 206. Based on the position of each first component in each component set and / or the function of each first component, analyze the arrangement position of the drive device that matches the component set; and arrange the drive device that matches the component set at the arrangement position of the drive device.

[0150] In this embodiment of the invention, the location of the drive device may include, but is not limited to, the geometric center of the location of all the first components in the corresponding component set or the location of any one of the first components, and the arrangement of the drive device may include a top-mounted arrangement or a wall-mounted arrangement.

[0151] It should be noted that for other related descriptions of steps 201-203, please refer to the detailed description of steps 101-103 in Embodiment 1. These descriptions will not be repeated in this embodiment of the invention.

[0152] It is evident that implementation Figure 2 The described automatic component placement method can automatically analyze the location, type, and function of components such as lighting fixtures within an area (e.g., a floor), accurately analyze the component identification method of these components, and place corresponding identifiers (e.g., codes) on the components within the area based on this accurate identification method. This achieves automatic component placement, simplifies the placement operation, reduces the time and high rework rate caused by manual placement, improves the efficiency and accuracy of component placement, and contributes to improved placement quality. It is applicable even when placing a large number of components, while also saving costs. Furthermore, it can automatically place corresponding drive devices for the components in an area without manual intervention, improving the efficiency and accuracy of drive device placement, especially suitable for situations with thousands or tens of thousands of components. It can also automatically determine the drive device based on component information by having the inspection personnel select the drive device and / or device, improving the flexibility, efficiency, and probability of drive device selection. Finally, it can classify the components within an area based on their type, quantity, function, the maximum number of components that the drive device can drive, and the component type, improving the accuracy and reliability of component classification.

[0153] In an optional embodiment, the method may further include the following operations:

[0154] Identify multiple second components in the target area, and the types of all second components include, but are not limited to, any type other than the type of the first component mentioned above, such as switch type and / or sensor type and / or relay type.

[0155] Based on the information of each second component in the target area and the information of each driving device in the target area, corresponding identification information is arranged for each second component and each driving device in the target area. The information of each second component in the target area includes one or more of the following: the location of the second component, the function of the second component, and the type of the second component. The information of each driving device includes one or more of the following: the arrangement location of the driving device, the initial number, and the model number.

[0156] Based on the identification information of each second component in the target area and the identification information corresponding to each driving device, all second components in the target area and all driving devices in the target area are sequentially connected in series to obtain the control loop of the target area. The control loop of the target area is used to control all first components and all second components in the target area.

[0157] In this optional embodiment, for the description of the identification information, please refer to the above description of the identification information for the first component, which will not be repeated here.

[0158] In this optional embodiment, optionally, based on the information of each second component in the target area and the information of each driving device in the target area, corresponding identification information is arranged for each second component and each driving device in the target area, including:

[0159] Based on the information of each second component in the target area, including its location, the arrangement location of each driving device, and the location of the resource providing device in the target area, analyze the distance between each second component in the target area and the resource providing device in the target area, as well as the distance between each driving device and the resource providing device in the target area.

[0160] Based on the distance between each second component and the resource providing device in the target area, the distance between each driving device and the resource providing device in the target area, other information of each second component and other information of each driving device, analyze the component identification method that matches the information of each second component and each driving device, and arrange corresponding identification information for each second component and each driving device in the target area according to the component identification method.

[0161] As can be seen, this optional embodiment improves the efficiency and accuracy of labeling information placement by combining information such as the location, type, and function of switches / sensors / relays / drive devices within the area to arrange corresponding labeling information. Furthermore, by automatically connecting switches / sensors / relays / drive devices in series based on their labeling information, it improves the accuracy and efficiency of control loop arrangement. Even if components in the control loop change, such as changes in component location, addition, or deletion, a corresponding control loop can be generated immediately, demonstrating strong applicability. Additionally, by first calculating the distance between the resource-providing area and the location of each component, as well as the distance between the resource-providing area and each drive device, and then analyzing all distance values ​​along with the component location, function, and type to determine the component labeling method, it improves the accuracy and reliability of component labeling method analysis, thereby enhancing the accuracy and reliability of component arrangement within the area.

[0162] In another alternative embodiment, the method may further include the following steps:

[0163] The control loop of the target area is divided according to the predetermined loop division method to obtain at least one sub-control loop. Each second component of each sub-control loop in the target area does not overlap with each other.

[0164] Based on the identification information of the target area and the identification information of each second component in each sub-control loop of the target area, generate the identification information of the sub-control loop.

[0165] The method may also include the following steps:

[0166] Determine information about the system used to control all components in the target area, including the maximum number of components connected to the system and / or the system's operational performance.

[0167] Based on the information of the system and the number of all second components in the target area, a partitioning method is generated as a loop partitioning method.

[0168] For example, the control loop for floor F1 starts with component number 1, and every 64 components form a sub-control loop. That is, components numbered 1 to 64 are control loop 1; components numbered 65 to 128 are control loop 2, and so on, generating the control loop for floor F1. Each sub-control loop is automatically assigned identification information. Thus, the identification information for control loop 1 is H-F1-1, and the identification information for control loop 2 is H-F1-2, where H is the abbreviation for control loop, F1 is the floor number, and 1 and 2 are the control loop serial numbers.

[0169] As can be seen, this optional embodiment automatically generates the control loop division method by considering the maximum number of components that the system can connect to, the operating performance, and the number of components such as switches / sensors / relays / drive devices that need to be divided. This improves the accuracy and reliability of determining the control loop division method, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of control loop division. Furthermore, it automatically arranges the identification information of the corresponding sub-control loops based on the area identifier and the identifier of the components in the sub-control loops, which improves the accuracy and reliability of arranging the identification information of the sub-control loops.

[0170] In yet another optional embodiment, the method may further include the following steps:

[0171] Based on the location of each second component in each sub-control loop of the target area and the resources required by that second component, determine the placement location of the target module for providing resources to that sub-control loop;

[0172] Arrange the target module of each sub-control loop in the target area at the arrangement position of the target module in the sub-control loop, and connect the power supply module to the target component according to the arrangement position of the target module matching each sub-control loop and the position of the target component in the sub-control loop.

[0173] The target modules for providing resources to each sub-control loop include a power supply module for providing voltage to the sub-control loop and / or a communication coupling module for providing communication signals to the sub-control loop; the target components of each sub-control loop include the starting component of the sub-control loop or the component with the highest power supply voltage requirement / strongest communication signal requirement. The starting component in each sub-control loop is the component ranked first in that sub-control loop.

[0174] In this optional embodiment, the resources required by the second component include the power supply voltage required by the second component or the communication signal required by the second component. When the resources required by the second component are the power supply voltage required by the second component, the target module is a power supply module; when the resources required by the second component are the communication signal required by the second component, the target module is a communication coupling module.

[0175] In this optional embodiment, the target module can be positioned anywhere within a circular area centered on the target component and with a preset distance (e.g., 350 meters) as its radius. Furthermore, the positions of the power supply module and the communication coupling module do not overlap. Additionally, the target module can be arranged either on a ceiling or against a wall.

[0176] As can be seen, after dividing the control loop, this optional embodiment further automatically determines the placement positions of the power supply module and the communication coupling module based on the component positions of the sub-control loop and the power supply voltage and signal required by the component, and places them in the corresponding placement positions and connects them with the target component (such as the starting component). This can provide accurate and stable voltage and signal to the components of the corresponding sub-control loop, which is conducive to ensuring the normal operation of the component and thus improving the working stability of the component.

[0177] The method may also include the following steps:

[0178] Based on the identification information of the target area, the identification information of each sub-control loop, and the initial identification information of the communication coupling module of the sub-control loop, the identification information of the communication coupling module of the sub-control loop is generated.

[0179] In this optional embodiment, for the description of the identification information of the communication coupling module, please refer to the detailed description of the identification information of the first component above, which will not be repeated here.

[0180] As can be seen, this optional embodiment further generates a unique identifier for the communication coupling module based on the region identifier, the sub-control loop identifier, and the initial identifier of the communication coupling module. This can improve the accuracy of the identifier placement to adapt to the region and sub-control loop, which is beneficial for quickly and clearly identifying the communication coupling module, especially when there are many communication coupling modules.

[0181] In yet another optional embodiment, the number of target regions is greater than or equal to 1; and when the number of target regions is greater than 1, the method may further include the following steps:

[0182] Divide all sub-control loops of each target region into all target regions to obtain at least one set of control loops, where each sub-control loop in each set of control loops is unique.

[0183] Based on the identification information of the target area to which each sub-control loop in each control loop set belongs, the placement position of the communication coupling module corresponding to the control loop set is determined, and the communication coupling module corresponding to each control loop set is placed at the placement position of the communication coupling module. The communication coupling module corresponding to each control loop set is used to provide communication signals for each sub-control loop of the control loop set.

[0184] Based on the target area information of each sub-control loop in each control loop set and the initial identification information of the communication coupling module corresponding to the control loop set, the identification information of the communication coupling module corresponding to the control loop set is generated; and all sub-control loops in each control loop set are connected to the communication coupling module corresponding to the control loop set.

[0185] In this optional embodiment, the placement of the communication coupling module corresponding to each control loop set can be understood as the location of the low-voltage room in the target area where all sub-control loops in the control loop set are located. For example, if control loop set 1 contains 10 sub-control loops distributed on layers 1 to 4, then the communication coupler is placed in the low-voltage room on layer 2; similarly, if control loop set 2 contains 10 sub-control loops distributed on layers 10 to 20, then the communication coupler is placed in the low-voltage room on layer 15.

[0186] As can be seen, this optional embodiment can further improve the communication stability and accuracy between loops within a region by automatically arranging corresponding communication coupling modules for the divided set of sub-control loops; and by combining the identifier of the region to which the sub-control loop belongs in the control loop set with the initial identifier of the corresponding communication coupling module, a new identifier for the communication coupling module is arranged to adapt to the region and the sub-control loop, which is conducive to quickly and clearly identifying the communication coupling module; and by integrating multiple sub-control loops onto the communication coupling module, the accuracy of loop arrangement and the communication efficiency of the sub-control loops can be improved.

[0187] In this optional embodiment, the method may further include the following steps:

[0188] Building information containing data such as components for each target area is input into the BIM building information model for analysis to obtain the location of the main low-voltage room for all target areas. The main control module for all target areas is then set in the main low-voltage room. The communication coupling module corresponding to each control loop set is connected to the main control module to obtain the control system.

[0189] In this optional embodiment, the number of communication coupling modules that the main control module can connect to can be wireless or a preset number, such as 15. When the number of communication coupling modules that the main control module can connect to is the preset number, the main control module is automatically added until all communication coupling modules corresponding to all control loop sets are connected to the corresponding main control module, and all main control modules are connected to form a control system.

[0190] As can be seen, this optional embodiment improves the comprehensiveness and accuracy of component layout by automatically arranging a central control module for all areas and integrating the communication coupling module of all control loop sets into the central control module, which facilitates precise and efficient control of regional components.

[0191] In yet another optional embodiment, the method may further include the following steps:

[0192] Determine the installation method of each second component of each sub-control loop in the target area. The installation method of each second component of each sub-control loop includes either installation at the top of the target area or installation at a location not at the top of the target area.

[0193] The total length of the line for each sub-control loop is determined based on the installation method and location of each component in each sub-control loop of the target area.

[0194] Based on the total line length of each sub-control loop in the target area and the signal strength of the sub-control loop, it is determined whether a signal amplification module needs to be installed in the sub-control loop. The signal strength of each sub-control loop is used to represent the signal transmission capability of the sub-control loop.

[0195] When the result is determined to be yes, the placement position of the signal amplification module of the sub-control loop is determined based on the total line length of each sub-control loop in the target area and the signal strength of the sub-control loop. The signal amplification module of the sub-control loop is then placed at the placement position of each sub-control loop.

[0196] In this optional embodiment, if the result is determined to be negative, the operation described above, which divides all sub-control loops of each target area in all target areas to obtain at least one set of control loops, is triggered.

[0197] In this optional embodiment, when the second component is installed at the top of the target area, the total length of the line in each sub-control loop is the sum of the lengths of the horizontal cables between all the second components in the sub-control loop; when the second component is installed in a way that is not at the top of the target area, the total length of the line in each sub-control loop is the sum of the lengths of the horizontal cables between all the second components in the sub-control loop plus the length of all the second components within the wall of the target area, wherein the length of each second component within the wall of the target area is equal to the difference between the floor height of the target area and the vertical installation height of the second component relative to the ground of the target area.

[0198] In this optional embodiment, when the total length of the sub-control loop is greater than or equal to a predetermined cable length threshold, and / or when the signal strength of the sub-control loop is used to indicate that there is a component among all components of the sub-control loop whose received or transmitted communication signal strength is less than or equal to a predetermined signal strength threshold, it is determined that the sub-control loop needs to be equipped with a signal amplification module.

[0199] As can be seen, after dividing the control loop, this optional embodiment further determines whether a signal amplification module needs to be arranged based on the calculated total length of the sub-control loop and the signal strength of the loop. If necessary, it is automatically arranged on the corresponding loop, which can improve the communication capability of the loop, thereby improving the working stability and accuracy of the components in the loop. Furthermore, by combining the total length of the loop and the signal strength of the sub-control loop to determine the arrangement position of the signal amplification module, the accuracy and reliability of the determination of the arrangement position can be improved, thereby ensuring that the signal amplification module can radiate to each component and guarantee the normal communication of the components.

[0200] In yet another optional embodiment, the method may further include the following steps:

[0201] For any sub-control loop in the target area, determine whether there are any two second components in the sub-control loop that require the setting of a sub-power module between the components;

[0202] When the judgment result is yes, select all component groups that need to be set up for the sub-power module from all the second components of the sub-control loop. Each component group of each sub-control loop consists of two second components of the sub-control loop.

[0203] Based on the positions of the two second components in each component group of the sub-control loop, determine the arrangement position of the sub-power supply module corresponding to the two second components;

[0204] Arrange the sub-power module corresponding to each component group of the sub-control loop at the arrangement position of the sub-power module, and connect the sub-power module corresponding to each component group of each sub-control loop in series between the two second components of the component group;

[0205] In this optional embodiment, determining whether there are any two second components among all the second components of the sub-control loop that require the configuration of a sub-power module includes:

[0206] Determine the cable length between any two second components in all the second components of the sub-control loop; based on the cable length between any two second components in all the second components of the sub-control loop, determine whether there are any two second components in the sub-control loop whose cable length is greater than or equal to a predetermined cable length threshold. If the result is yes, determine that there are any two second components in the sub-control loop that require a sub-power module to be set between them.

[0207] As can be seen, this optional embodiment, when it is found that there is a large distance between two components in the control loop, can provide a stable voltage to the components by automatically setting a power module, thereby helping to further improve the working stability of the components.

[0208] Example 3

[0212] The arrangement module 303 is used to arrange corresponding identification information for each first component among all first components in the target area according to the component identification method of the target area.

[0213] It is evident that implementation Figure 3 The described automatic component placement device automatically analyzes the location, type, and function of components such as lighting fixtures within an area (e.g., a floor), accurately determining the component identification method. Based on this accurate identification method, it places corresponding labels (e.g., codes) on the components within the area, enabling automatic component placement. This simplifies the placement process, reduces the time and rate of rework caused by manual placement, improves placement efficiency and accuracy, and enhances placement quality. It is applicable even when placing a large number of components, while also saving costs.

[0214] In an optional embodiment, when the information of each first component in the target area includes at least the location of the first component; such as Figure 4 As shown, the device also includes:

[0220] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The described automatic component placement device first calculates the distance between the location of the resource provision area and the location of each component in the region, and then analyzes the component identification method of the region together with the component location, function and type. This can improve the accuracy and reliability of the component identification method analysis, thereby helping to improve the accuracy and reliability of component placement in the region.

[0221] In yet another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the device may further include:

[0222] The second determining module 306 is used to determine at least one driving device for driving all the first components in the target area after the identification module 301 identifies multiple first components in the target area, and to query the driving information of each driving device, wherein the driving information of each driving device includes the maximum number of components that the driving device can drive and / or the type of components that the driving device can drive.

[0223] The partitioning module 305 is used to partition all first components in the target area according to the component information of the target area and the driving information of each driving device to obtain at least one component set.

[0224] Analysis module 302 is used to analyze the arrangement position of the drive device that matches the component set based on the position of each first component in each component set and / or the function of each first component;

[0225] The arrangement module 303 is also used to arrange the drive device that matches each component set at the arrangement position of the drive device.

[0226] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The described automatic component placement device can also automatically place corresponding drive devices for components in a region without manual intervention, improving the efficiency and accuracy of drive device placement, and is especially suitable for situations with thousands or tens of thousands of components; and can improve the accuracy and reliability of component division by dividing the components in the region according to the type, quantity, function of the components in the region, the maximum number of components that the drive devices can drive, and the component type.

[0227] In yet another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the identification module 301 is also used to identify multiple second components in the target area. The types of all second components include, but are not limited to, switch types and / or sensor types and / or relay types, any type other than the type of the first component mentioned above.

[0228] The arrangement module 303 is further configured to arrange corresponding identification information for each second component and each driving device in the target area based on the information of each second component in the target area and the information of each driving device in the target area. The information of each second component in the target area includes one or more of the following: the location of the second component, the function of the second component, and the type of the second component. The information of each driving device includes one or more of the following: the arrangement location of the driving device, the initial number, and the model number.

[0229] And, such as Figure 4 As shown, the device may further include:

[0230] The connection module 307 is used to sequentially connect all the second components and all the driving devices in the target area according to the identification information of each second component in the target area and the identification information corresponding to each driving device, so as to obtain the control loop of the target area. The control loop of the target area is used to control all the first components and all the second components in the target area.

[0231] It is evident that implementation Figure 4The described automatic component placement device can also place corresponding identification information for switches / sensors / relays / drive devices within the area by combining information such as the location, type, and function of the switches / sensors / relays / drive devices, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of identification information placement. Furthermore, by automatically connecting switches / sensors / relays / drive devices in series according to their identification information, it improves the accuracy and efficiency of control loop placement. Even if the components in the control loop change, such as changing the position of a component or adding or deleting a component, the corresponding control loop can be generated immediately, demonstrating strong applicability.

[0232] In yet another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the partitioning module 305 is also used to partition the control loop of the target area based on a predetermined loop partitioning method to obtain at least one sub-control loop, wherein each second component of each sub-control loop in all sub-control loops of the target area does not overlap with each other.

[0233] The arrangement module 303 is also used to generate the identification information of the sub-control loop based on the identification information of the target area and the identification information of each second component in each sub-control loop of the target area;

[0234] The second determining module 306 is also used to determine information about the system used to control all components of the target area, including the maximum number of components connected to the system and / or the operating performance of the system.

[0235] And, such as Figure 4 As shown, the device also includes:

[0236] The generation module 308 is used to generate a partitioning method as a loop partitioning method based on the information of the system and the number of all second components in the target area.

[0237] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The described automatic component placement device can also automatically generate a control loop partitioning method based on the maximum number of components that the system can connect to, the operating performance, and the number of components such as switches / sensors / relays / drive devices that need to be partitioned. This improves the accuracy and reliability of determining the control loop partitioning method, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of control loop partitioning. Furthermore, it automatically places the corresponding sub-control loop identification information based on the area identifier and the component identifier of the sub-control loop, improving the accuracy and reliability of the sub-control loop identification information placement.

[0238] In yet another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the second determining module 306 is further configured to determine the arrangement position of the target module for providing resources to the sub-control loop based on the position of each second component in each sub-control loop of the target area and the resources required by the second component;

[0239] The arrangement module 303 is also used to arrange the target module of each sub-control loop in the target area at the arrangement position of the target module in the sub-control loop;

[0240] The connection module 307 is used to connect the power supply module to the target component according to the arrangement position of the target module that matches each sub-control loop and the position of the target component of the sub-control loop;

[0241] The target modules for providing resources to each sub-control loop include a power supply module for providing voltage to the sub-control loop and / or a communication coupling module for providing communication signals to the sub-control loop; the target components of each sub-control loop include the starting component of the sub-control loop or the component with the highest power supply voltage requirement / strongest communication signal requirement.

[0243] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The described automatic component placement device can further automatically determine the placement positions of the power supply module and communication coupling module based on the component positions of the sub-control loops and the power supply voltage and signal required by the components after the control loops are divided. It then places them in the corresponding positions and connects them to the target component (such as the starting component). This provides accurate and stable voltage and signal to the components of the corresponding sub-control loops, which helps ensure the normal operation of the components and thus improves their operational stability. Furthermore, it can generate a unique identifier for the communication coupling module based on the area identifier, the sub-control loop identifier, and the initial identifier of the communication coupling module. This improves the placement accuracy of the identifier to adapt to the area and sub-control loop, and facilitates quick and clear identification of the communication coupling module, especially when there are many communication coupling modules.

[0244] In yet another optional embodiment, the number of target regions is greater than or equal to 1; when the number of target regions is greater than 1, such as Figure 4 As shown, the partitioning module 305 is also used to partition all sub-control loops of each target area in all target areas to obtain at least one set of control loops, and each sub-control loop in each set of control loops is unique.

[0245] The second determining module 306 is also used to determine the placement position of the communication coupling module corresponding to the control loop set based on the identification information of the target area to which each sub-control loop in each control loop set belongs.

[0246] The arrangement module 303 is also used to arrange the communication coupling module corresponding to each control loop set at the arrangement position of the communication coupling module, and the communication coupling module corresponding to each control loop set is used to provide communication signals for each sub-control loop of the control loop set;

[0247] The generation module 308 is also used to generate the identification information of the communication coupling module corresponding to the control loop set based on the information of the target area to which each sub-control loop in each control loop set belongs and the initial identification information of the communication coupling module corresponding to the control loop set.

[0248] The connection module 307 is also used to connect all sub-control loops in each control loop set to the communication coupling module corresponding to that control loop set.

[0249] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The described automatic component placement device can further improve the communication stability and accuracy between loops within a region by automatically placing corresponding communication coupling modules for the divided set of sub-control loops; and by combining the identifier of the region to which the sub-control loop belongs in the control loop set with the initial identifier of the corresponding communication coupling module, it can place a new identifier for the communication coupling module to adapt to the region and sub-control loop, which is conducive to quickly and clearly identifying the communication coupling module; and by integrating multiple sub-control loops on the communication coupling module, it can improve the placement accuracy of the loops and improve the communication efficiency of the sub-control loops.

[0250] In yet another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second determining module 306 is further configured to determine the installation method of each second component of each sub-control loop in the target area, wherein the installation method of each second component of each sub-control loop includes either installation at the top of the target area or installation at a location not at the top of the target area.

[0251] The second determining module 306 is also used to determine the total length of the line of the sub-control loop based on the installation method of each component of each sub-control loop in the target area and the position of the component;

[0252] And, such as Figure 4 As shown, the device also includes:

[0253] The first judgment module 309 is used to determine whether a signal amplification module needs to be installed in a sub-control loop based on the total line length of each sub-control loop in the target area and the signal function strength of the sub-control loop. The signal function strength of each sub-control loop is used to represent the signal transmission capability of the sub-control loop.

[0254] The second determining module 306 is also used to determine the arrangement position of the signal amplification module of the sub-control loop based on the total line length of each sub-control loop in the target area and the signal function strength of the sub-control loop when the first determining module 309 determines the result as yes.

[0255] The arrangement module 303 is also used to arrange the signal amplification module of each sub-control loop at the arrangement position of each sub-control loop.

[0256] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The described automatic component placement device can further determine whether a signal amplification module needs to be placed after the control loop is divided, based on the calculated total length of the sub-control loop and the signal strength of the loop. If so, it will be automatically placed on the corresponding loop, which can improve the communication capability of the loop and thus improve the working stability and accuracy of the components in the loop. Furthermore, by combining the total length of the loop and the signal strength of the sub-control loop to determine the placement position of the signal amplification module, the accuracy and reliability of the placement position determination can be improved, which can help the signal amplification module radiate to each component and ensure the normal communication of the components.

[0257] In yet another alternative embodiment, for any sub-control loop of the target region, such as Figure 4 As shown, the device also includes:

[0258] The second judgment module 310 is used to determine whether there are any two second components among all the second components of the sub-control loop that require the setting of a sub-power supply module;

[0259] The filtering module 311 is used to filter all component groups that need to be set up from all the second components of the sub-control loop when the judgment result of the second judgment module 310 is yes. Each component group of each sub-control loop consists of two second components of the sub-control loop.

[0260] The second determining module 306 is also used to determine the arrangement position of the sub-power supply module corresponding to the two second components based on the positions of the two second components of each component group of the sub-control loop.

[0261] The arrangement module 303 is also used to arrange the sub-power supply module corresponding to each component group of the sub-control loop at the arrangement position of the sub-power supply module;

[0262] The connection module 307 is also used to connect the sub-power supply module corresponding to each component group of each sub-control loop in series between the two second components of the component group;

[0263] Specifically, the second judgment module 310 determines whether there are any two second components in the sub-control loop that require the setting of a sub-power supply module between them.

[0264] Determine the cable length between any two second components in all the second components of the sub-control loop; based on the cable length between any two second components in all the second components of the sub-control loop, determine whether there are any two second components in the sub-control loop whose cable length is greater than or equal to a predetermined cable length threshold. If the result is yes, determine that there are any two second components in the sub-control loop that require a sub-power module to be set between them.

[0265] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The described automatic component placement device can also provide stable voltage to components by automatically setting power modules when it is found that there is a large distance between two components in the control loop, thereby further improving the working stability of the components.
