[0030] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, and examples thereof are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0031] It should be noted that all actions of obtaining signals, information, or data in the present disclosure are carried out on the premise of complying with the corresponding data protection regulations and policies of the country where the location is located and obtaining authorization from the owner of the corresponding device.

[0032] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a method for determining an air conditioner installation position shown according to an exemplary embodiment. The method can be applied to a terminal device. As Figure 1 shown, the method may include steps S101 to S103.

[0033] In step S101, according to the air conditioner model and the target space information of the air conditioner to be installed, determine the allowable installation area of the air conditioner.

[0034] Exemplarily, the target space information of the air conditioner to be installed may include image information for characterizing the overall overview of the target space. The image of the target space can be collected by the camera of the terminal device. In order to improve the accuracy of the description of the target space, multiple images can be collected, and the target space information can be obtained through the fusion analysis of the images. Information such as the size, installation instructions, and performance configuration of the air conditioner can be determined according to the air conditioner model. On this basis, using the allowable installation height in the installation instructions and the target space information, the allowable installation area within the target space can be accurately determined.

[0035] In step S102, determine the reference outlet air flow field corresponding to at least one reference position within the allowable installation area.

[0036] Exemplarily, the reference position can be any position that can ensure the air conditioner is within the allowable installation area. As Figure 2 shown, within the allowable installation area 11, it may include a first reference position 12, a second reference position 13, a third reference position 14, and a fourth reference position 15. For each reference position, the reference outlet air flow field can be determined through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation. By determining the reference outlet air flow field, a refined evaluation of the reference position can be achieved, and the air outlet conditions of different reference positions can be comprehensively and accurately understood, providing reliable data support for subsequent installation decisions and ensuring the accuracy of the installation position.

[0037] In step S103, if the reference outlet air flow field meets the preset installation conditions, then determine the reference position corresponding to the reference outlet air flow field as the candidate position for installing the air conditioner.

[0038] Exemplarily, if the reference outlet air flow field of the first reference position 12 meets the preset installation conditions, then the first reference position 12 can be determined as the candidate position. If the reference outlet air flow field of the third reference position 14 does not meet the preset installation conditions, then the third reference position 14 is not determined as the candidate position.

[0039] Among them, the preset installation conditions can be set based on the user's expectations for the use effect of the air conditioner to determine a more reasonable candidate position for installing the air conditioner that meets the user's expectations, thereby ensuring the air outlet effect of the air conditioner and enhancing the user's experience of using the air conditioner.

[0040] In one embodiment, the preset installation conditions may include an anti-direct-blow condition; the anti-direct-blow condition may include that the reference outlet air flow field indicates that the air outlet of the air conditioner does not directly blow to the preset position of the reference object within the target space.

[0041] Exemplarily, the reference object can be a home furnishing item for rest such as a bed, a sofa, a pet nest, etc., or it can be a plant. The preset position can be a partial position or the entire position of the reference object. For example, if the reference object is a bed, the preset position can be the upper half of the bed including the head of the bed. Taking the reference outlet air flow field indicating that the air outlet of the air conditioner does not directly blow to the preset position of the reference object in the target space as the preset installation condition, the candidate position determined based on the setting of this installation condition can avoid problems such as the decline in the performance of the air conditioner caused by improper installation position, and at the same time ensure that when the organism is at the preset position, it will not be directly blown by the air conditioner, thereby improving the comfort of the organism and protecting its health status.

[0042] In another embodiment, the preset installation condition may include a direct-blow condition; this direct-blow condition may include: the reference outlet air flow field indicating that the air outlet of the air conditioner directly blows to the preset position of the target space.

[0043] Exemplarily, the preset position of the target space can be the position where the air outlet of the air conditioner needs to directly blow, such as the position for drying clothes. The candidate position determined based on the setting of this installation condition can accelerate the drying of clothes while avoiding problems such as the decline in the performance of the air conditioner caused by improper installation position.

[0044] In the above technical solution, determining the allowable installation area according to the air conditioner model and the target space information of the air conditioner to be installed can accurately find the area suitable for air conditioner installation; by determining the reference outlet air flow field corresponding to at least one reference position in the allowable installation area, the air outlet conditions of different reference positions can be comprehensively and accurately understood; taking whether the reference outlet air flow field meets the preset installation condition as the evaluation criterion can determine a more reasonable candidate position for installing the air conditioner, effectively guarantee the air outlet effect of the air conditioner, avoid problems such as the decline in the performance of the air conditioner caused by improper installation position, and improve the user's satisfaction with the air conditioner installation service.

[0045] In an alternative embodiment, in step S102, the reference outlet air flow field corresponding to at least one reference position in the allowable installation area can be determined in the following manner: According to the corresponding relationship between the air outlet angle, the wind force gear and the outlet air flow field of the air conditioner, determine the basic outlet air flow field corresponding to the target air outlet angle and the target wind force gear of the air conditioner; Use the reference position to adjust the basic outlet air flow field to obtain the reference outlet air flow field corresponding to the reference position.

[0046] Among them, the corresponding relationship between the air outlet angle, the wind force gear and the outlet air flow field of the air conditioner can be pre-calibrated based on test results. The basic outlet air flow field can be understood as the outlet air flow field not affected by the placement of other objects in the space. The target air outlet angle and the target wind force gear can be set based on actual needs.

[0047] In one embodiment, the basic outlet air flow field is adjusted using a reference position to obtain a reference outlet air flow field corresponding to the reference position, which may include: The basic outlet air flow field is adjusted using the reference position and the positions of other items in the target space except the air conditioner to obtain a reference outlet air flow field corresponding to the reference position.

[0048] Exemplarily, other items in the target space except the air conditioner may include household items such as beds and tables. The presence of these household items may cause the rebound of the air conditioner's air outlet. Therefore, based on the current reference position of the air conditioner and the positions of other items in the target space except the air conditioner, the basic outlet air flow field corresponding to this reference position can be adjusted to obtain a reference outlet air flow field at this reference position that adapts to the actual situation of the target space.

[0049] In an alternative embodiment, the method for determining the installation position of the air conditioner provided by the present disclosure may further include: Construct a three-dimensional model of the target space according to the target space information; Use the three-dimensional model to generate a wind field model for characterizing the reference outlet air flow field in the target space.

[0050] As described above, the target space information may include image information for characterizing the overall overview of the target space. For example, computer vision technology can be used to process this image information to generate three-dimensional point cloud data, and then a three-dimensional model can be constructed. In this three-dimensional model, different objects can be represented by different color blocks. The part of the target installation wall in the three-dimensional model can retain the hole punching position information for installing the air conditioner, so that the subsequent established wind field model can better display the relevant information for installing the air conditioner.

[0051] Exemplarily, a wind field model corresponding to this reference position for characterizing the reference outlet air flow field in the target space can be generated using the reference outlet air flow field and the established three-dimensional model, so that the user can intuitively and accurately understand the reference outlet air flow field in the target space when the air outlet angle of the air conditioner is the target air outlet angle and the wind force level is the target wind force level at this reference position.

[0052] Figure 3 is a flowchart of a method for determining the installation position of an air conditioner shown according to an exemplary embodiment. Through this Figure 3 , the implementation process of the method for determining the installation position of the air conditioner provided by the present disclosure can be more clearly understood. As Figure 3As shown, step S101 may include step S1011 and step S1012 to confirm the allowable installation area through step S1011 and step S1012; step S102 may include step S1021 to step S1023 to determine the reference outlet air flow field corresponding to at least one reference position within the allowable installation area through step S1021 to step S1023.

[0053] In step S1011, obtain the allowable installation height according to the air conditioner model.

[0054] Exemplarily, the corresponding relationship between the air conditioner model and the allowable installation height can be preset through test results, and this corresponding relationship can be represented, for example, in the form of a mapping table. The allowable installation height corresponding to the current air conditioner model can be determined by looking up this preset corresponding relationship.

[0055] In step S1012, determine the allowable installation area on the target installation wall according to the allowable installation height.

[0056] Among them, the target space information may include the information of the target installation wall. In order to make the determined allowable installation area of the air conditioner meet the user's expectations, the user can determine the target installation wall. In order to improve the accuracy of the information such as the size of the determined target installation wall, an image of the target installation wall can be additionally taken. The partial area corresponding to the allowable installation height on the target installation wall can be determined as the allowable installation area.

[0057] In step S1021, construct a three-dimensional model of the target space according to the target space information.

[0058] In step S1022, determine the basic outlet air flow field corresponding to the target outlet air angle and the target wind speed gear of the air conditioner according to the corresponding relationship between the outlet air angle, the wind speed gear and the outlet air flow field of the air conditioner.

[0059] In step S1023, for each reference position, adjust the basic outlet air flow field according to this reference position and the positions of other items in the target space except the air conditioner, and use the three-dimensional model to generate a wind field model for characterizing the reference outlet air flow field in the target space.

[0060] Among them, the reference position is located within the allowable installation area.

[0061] In step S103, if the reference outlet air flow field meets the preset installation conditions, the reference position corresponding to the reference outlet air flow field is determined as the candidate position for installing the air conditioner.

[0062] As Figure 3 shown, the method for determining the installation position of the air conditioner provided by the present disclosure may further include step S104.

[0063] In step S104, at least one set of candidate position-related information is output.

[0064] Wherein, each set of candidate position-related information includes a candidate position, and the wind field model, target air outlet angle, and target wind power level corresponding to the candidate position.

[0065] In this way, based on the output candidate position-related information, the user can intuitively and accurately understand the relevant information of installing the air conditioner at the candidate position, so as to facilitate the user to make a choice in combination with their own needs, determine the final installation position, and install the air conditioner.

[0066] After the air conditioner is installed, the user may add new household items with requirements for the air outlet of the air conditioner, such as a crib, in the target space. To meet the customer's needs, steps S301 and S302 as shown can be used to provide suggestions related to the placement of the newly added household items, so as to further provide convenience for the user and improve the user experience. Figure 4 In step S301, based on the installation position of the air conditioner, target space information, current air outlet angle, and current wind power level of the air conditioner, the actual air flow field is determined.

[0067] Among them, the installation position is determined according to the candidate position.

[0068] By way of example, according to the correspondence relationship between the air outlet angle, wind power level, and air flow field of the air conditioner, the air flow field corresponding to the current air outlet angle and current wind power level of the air conditioner can be determined. Using the target space information to obtain the placement positions of the existing items in the target space, and adjusting the air flow field corresponding to the current air outlet angle and current wind power level obtained in the previous step according to the placement positions, an actual air flow field adapted to the actual situation of the target space is obtained.

[0069] In step S302, based on the actual air flow field, a recommended position for placing the object to be newly added is generated.

[0070] By way of example, a position in the target space where the air outlet of the air conditioner will not blow directly and that meets the size of the object to be newly added can be obtained based on the actual air flow field, and this position can be determined as the recommended position. For example, if the object to be newly added is a crib, at this time, a reliable position that can effectively avoid the baby being directly blown by the air conditioner can be generated.

[0071] In one embodiment, the recommended position can be displayed in text form.

[0072] In one embodiment, the recommended position can be displayed in text form.

[0073] In yet another embodiment, a wind field model for characterizing the actual air outlet flow field in the target space can be generated according to the actual air outlet flow field and the three-dimensional model constructed based on the target space information, and the recommended position can be marked in this wind field model. The wind field model with the recommended position marked can be presented to the user in the form of a picture, so that the user can more intuitively understand the recommended position.

[0074] During the actual use process after the air conditioner is installed, as Figure 4 shown, based on step S301, the intelligent adjustment of the operating state of the air conditioner can be realized through step S303, improving the comfort of the people in the room.

[0075] In step S303, if the actual air outlet flow field meets the preset adjustment conditions, the air outlet angle and / or the wind force gear of the air conditioner are adjusted according to the actual air outlet flow field and the target position.

[0076] Among them, the preset adjustment conditions may include the direct blowing condition, and the direct blowing condition may include: the actual air outlet flow field indicates that the air outlet of the air conditioner blows directly to the target position.

[0077] The target position is the position where the person is located within the target space. Exemplarily, the target position can be determined based on the image collected by the camera or the infrared image collected by the infrared device. In this way, when the air outlet of the air conditioner blows directly to the position where the person is located within the target space, the air outlet angle and / or the wind force gear of the air conditioner can be adjusted according to the actual air outlet flow field and the target position to change the current air outlet flow field and avoid the air outlet of the air conditioner from blowing directly to the person within the target space.

[0078] In one embodiment, the target position can be determined in the following manner: Obtain the image information of the position where the reference object is located; If the image information characterizes the change in the posture of the person on the reference object and the item covering the person falls off, the position where the exposed part of the person is located is determined as the target position.

[0079] Among them, the reference object can be a bed. The item covering the person can be a quilt. If the image information characterizes the change in the posture of the person on the bed and the item covering the person falls off, it can be determined that the person may have kicked or lifted the quilt, and the exposed part of the person may change. To prevent the person from getting cold, the position where the exposed part of the person is located can be determined as the target position. At this time, the air outlet angle and / or the wind force gear of the air conditioner can be adjusted according to the actual air outlet flow field and the target position to change the current air outlet flow field and avoid the air outlet of the air conditioner from blowing directly to the person on the reference object.

[0080] After adjusting the air outlet angle and / or the wind speed gear of the air conditioner, steps S301 and S303 can be repeatedly executed until the latest actual air outlet flow field does not meet the preset adjustment conditions, and then stop adjusting the air outlet angle and / or the wind speed gear of the air conditioner.

[0081] Based on the same inventive concept, the present disclosure also provides an air conditioner installation position determination device.
