[0052] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms “first”, “second”, etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0054] In the description of this specification, the reference terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" mean that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the embodiment of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art can combine and combine different embodiments or examples described in this specification and features of different embodiments or examples without contradiction.

[0055] The following combination Figure 1-Figure 5 The present invention describes a method and device for detecting the installation of an air conditioner indoor unit and an air conditioner. The air conditioner indoor unit can be a wall mounted unit, a duct mounted unit or other air conditioner equipment.

[0056] According to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the hoisting detection method of the air conditioner indoor unit provided by the present invention mainly includes the following steps:

[0057] S101. When the air conditioner indoor unit is installed and used for the first time, the air conditioner indoor unit is controlled to skip user control instructions to execute a position detection strategy.

[0058] When the air conditioner indoor unit is installed and used for the first time, user control commands are automatically skipped, prioritizing the location detection strategy. This automatic detection mechanism proactively performs safety checks before the user is aware of potential risks, thus avoiding safety issues caused by improper operation or negligence.

[0059] S102: In the position detection strategy, the actual installation position of the hanging feet of the air conditioner indoor unit is obtained.

[0060] The position detection strategy allows us to obtain the actual installation location of the air conditioner indoor unit's hanging feet, which can be understood as coordinate information. This step is critical because it provides the data foundation for subsequent deviation analysis.

[0061] S103: Determine whether the air conditioner indoor unit is installed normally based on the deviation between the actual installation position of the hanging foot of the air conditioner indoor unit and the target installation position.

[0062] The deviation between the actual installation position and the target installation position is used to determine whether the air conditioner indoor unit is properly installed. This deviation analysis can help identify potential errors during installation and ensure the quality of the air conditioner indoor unit installation.

[0063] S104: Determine whether the air-conditioning indoor unit is installed normally, and control the air-conditioning indoor unit to operate based on user control instructions.

[0064] If the system detects an abnormal installation of the indoor unit, it will not proceed with user commands and will take appropriate measures (such as an alarm or a prompt to reinstall the unit) to resolve the installation issue. This design prioritizes safety and ensures the safe operation of the indoor unit.

[0065] Once it is detected that the air conditioner indoor unit is installed normally, it will operate based on the user's control instructions. This shows that the present invention can ensure the safety of the air conditioner indoor unit while also taking into account the user experience.

[0066] Therefore, the hoisting detection method for the air-conditioning indoor unit provided in the embodiment of the present invention can effectively improve the safety of installation and reduce the risk of falling off due to improper installation by introducing automatic safety detection when the air-conditioning indoor unit is used for the first time.

[0067] According to one embodiment of the present invention, determining whether the air conditioner indoor unit is installed properly based on a deviation between an actual installation position of the hanging foot of the air conditioner indoor unit and a target installation position includes:

[0068] Determining that a deviation between an actual installation position of the hanging foot of the air conditioner indoor unit and a target installation position is less than or equal to a preset value, and determining that the air conditioner indoor unit is installed normally;

[0069] It is determined that a deviation between an actual installation position of the hanging foot of the air conditioner indoor unit and a target installation position is greater than a preset value, and it is determined that the air conditioner indoor unit is installed abnormally.

[0070] Specifically, the target installation location primarily refers to a location where the air conditioner indoor unit can be securely installed and achieve optimal airflow. This takes into account factors such as stability, airflow quality, ease of maintenance, and safety compliance. By ensuring the air conditioner indoor unit is installed in this location, its performance can be maximized while ensuring safe use.

[0071] The preset value is a key parameter that determines the tolerance for the installation position of the AC indoor unit. This value can be set based on the AC indoor unit's design standards, installation requirements, and safety standards. Properly setting the preset value ensures safe and stable operation even with minor deviations during installation.

[0072] Through the automatic detection mechanism, the air conditioner indoor unit can automatically determine whether its installation location is within the safe range. This not only improves detection efficiency, but also reduces misjudgments caused by human factors, thereby improving overall safety.

[0073] Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention improves the accuracy and safety of the installation of the air conditioner indoor unit by setting preset values ​​and automatic deviation determination.

[0074] According to one embodiment of the present invention, after determining that the air conditioner indoor unit is installed abnormally, the method further includes:

[0075] Feedback information about abnormal installation of the air-conditioning indoor unit to the user terminal and the data center server, and control the air-conditioning indoor unit to self-lock to shield user control instructions.

[0076] Specifically, if an abnormality is detected in the indoor air conditioner installation, relevant information is immediately fed back to the user terminal and the data center server. This timely feedback mechanism ensures rapid identification and recording of the problem, facilitating subsequent processing and tracking.

[0077] The air conditioner indoor unit has a self-locking function that automatically activates when it detects an installation anomaly. This function prevents users from unknowingly continuing to use air conditioners that may pose safety risks.

[0078] The self-locking function also blocks user control commands, meaning the user cannot operate the air conditioner via the remote control or other interfaces. This measure further ensures user safety and prevents accidents that may be caused by incorrect operation.

[0079] After the air conditioner indoor unit locked itself, the after-sales specialist received a notification from the data center server and, after properly installing the air conditioner indoor unit, unlocked it. This step ensured that the issue was handled by qualified and skilled personnel, preventing potential mishandling by non-professionals.

[0080] After receiving abnormal information, the data center server can record and analyze the data, which helps manufacturers understand the common causes of installation problems and improve product design and installation guidance.

[0081] Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention improve the safety and reliability of air conditioner indoor units by automatically providing feedback when installation anomalies occur, activating a self-locking function, and requiring professional intervention to resolve the problem. This design not only protects user safety but also provides manufacturers with valuable data, contributing to the continuous improvement of their products and services.

[0082] According to one embodiment of the present invention, determining a target installation position of a hanging leg of an air conditioner indoor unit includes:

[0083] Obtain the indoor space dimensions where the air conditioner indoor unit will be installed, as well as the height and inclination of the hanging installation surface;

[0084] Determine the target installation position of the hanging feet of the air conditioner indoor unit based on the indoor space size where the air conditioner indoor unit needs to be installed and the height and inclination of the hanging installation surface.

[0085] In this embodiment, a more precise method is further refined to determine the target installation position of the air conditioner indoor unit's hanging legs. This method takes into account the specific conditions of the indoor space, including size, height, and inclination, to ensure that the air conditioner indoor unit is installed safely and efficiently. The following is an analysis of this solution:

[0086] Determining the indoor unit's installation location is crucial for determining the room's dimensions. These dimensions directly impact the air conditioning's coverage and effectiveness. For example, a larger room might require the unit to be mounted higher to ensure adequate air circulation, while a smaller room might require a lower position to avoid excessive drafts.

[0087] The height and inclination of the ceiling-mounted mounting surface are also important factors in determining the installation location of the air conditioner's indoor unit. Height determines the position of the indoor unit relative to the ground, while inclination can affect the direction and intensity of air flow. For example, installation on a sloped ceiling may require adjusting the angle of the air conditioner to ensure even air distribution throughout the room.

[0088] By comprehensively considering the indoor space dimensions and the height and inclination of the ceiling mounting surface, the target installation position for the air conditioner indoor unit can be accurately determined. This position should be where the air conditioner is stably installed while maximizing the cooling effect.

[0089] Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention provide a precise target installation position for the air conditioner indoor unit's hanging feet by comprehensively considering the indoor space dimensions, the height and inclination of the hanging installation surface. This method helps improve the efficiency and safety of the air conditioner while providing convenience for installers and users.

[0090] According to one embodiment of the present invention, after determining the target installation position of the hanging foot of the air conditioner indoor unit, the method further includes:

[0091] Sending target installation position information of the hanging feet of the air conditioner indoor unit to the air conditioner indoor unit and the data center server for storage;

[0092] In the process of determining whether the air conditioner indoor unit is installed normally, obtaining target installation position information of the hanging feet stored in the air conditioner indoor unit;

[0093] If the target installation position information of the hanging foot stored in the air-conditioning indoor unit is lost, the control data center server sends the target installation position information of the hanging foot to the air-conditioning indoor unit.

[0094] Specifically, the target installation location information for the air conditioner's indoor unit's suspension legs is stored in both the unit and the data center server, ensuring persistence and accessibility. This storage mechanism allows for quick and accurate access to this critical information at any time, whether during installation, testing, or subsequent maintenance.

[0095] When determining whether the air conditioner indoor unit is properly installed, the stored target installation position of the hanging legs is retrieved and compared with the actual detected installation position. This comparison is a key step in determining whether the installation is as expected.

[0096] If the target installation location information stored in the air conditioner indoor unit is lost during data acquisition, the data center server will resend this information to the air conditioner indoor unit. This mechanism ensures timely detection even in the event of information loss.

[0097] Therefore, the present invention improves the accuracy and reliability of the installation and testing process by sharing and storing target installation location information between the air conditioner indoor unit and the data center server. This information management method not only helps ensure the safe installation of the air conditioner indoor unit, but also facilitates subsequent maintenance and service.

[0098] According to one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 As shown, after determining that the air conditioner indoor unit is installed normally and controlling the air conditioner indoor unit to operate based on the user's control instruction, the following steps are also included:

[0099] S201: Acquire the actual position of the hanging feet of the air conditioner indoor unit during operation.

[0100] Specifically, during the actual operation of the air-conditioning indoor unit, factors such as vibration may occur, thereby affecting the actual position of the hanging legs, causing safety hazards to the air-conditioning indoor unit.

[0101] S202: Determine the fan operating power of the air conditioner indoor unit according to the actual position of the hanging feet of the air conditioner indoor unit during operation.

[0102] Specifically, when the deviation between the actual position of the air conditioner's hanging feet and the target installation position during operation exceeds the lower limit of the safety threshold, the air conditioner's indoor fan power is controlled to operate in a step-by-step manner, such as silent, low, medium, and high wind speed levels.

[0103] During operation, if the deviation between the actual position of the air conditioner indoor unit's hanging foot and the target installation position reaches the upper safety threshold, the fan operating power corresponding to the upper safety threshold is determined to be the maximum operating power. For example, if the upper safety threshold is reached during a stroke, the maximum safe operating power range of the air conditioner indoor unit's fan is determined to be the stroke operating power. At this time, the deviation between the actual position of the air conditioner indoor unit's hanging foot and the target installation position is the maximum safe offset of the air conditioner indoor unit's hanging foot.

[0104] Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention can ensure the safe operation of the air conditioner indoor unit while meeting certain user needs, achieving a balance between safety and performance. This method not only improves the safety of the air conditioner indoor unit, but also enhances the user experience.

[0105] According to one embodiment of the present invention, after determining that the wind turbine operating power corresponding to the upper limit of the safety threshold is reached is the maximum operating power, the method further includes:

[0106] The data center server reports the actual position of the air conditioner's feet, upper and lower safety thresholds, and the fan's maximum operating power during operation. Installation specialists can use this information to adjust the air conditioner's indoor unit to ensure safety.

[0107] Specifically, the data center server not only stores the target installation location information of the AC indoor units, but also collects real-time data during operation. This data can be used to analyze the performance of the AC indoor units, predict potential problems, and provide a basis for subsequent maintenance and service.

[0108] A professional visit to your air conditioner can prevent minor issues from becoming major problems, thus avoiding potential repair costs and inconvenience. This preventative maintenance helps extend the life of your air conditioner's indoor unit and maintain its optimal performance.

[0109] According to one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 As shown, after determining that the air conditioner indoor unit is installed normally and controlling the air conditioner indoor unit to operate based on the user's control instruction, the following steps are also included:

[0110] S301: If the air conditioner indoor unit is powered on but not running, periodically obtain the actual installation position of the hanging feet of the air conditioner indoor unit;

[0111] S302, determining whether the air conditioner indoor unit is installed normally based on the deviation between the actual installation position of the hanging foot of the air conditioner indoor unit and the target installation position;

[0112] S303: When the deviation between the actual installation position of the hanging foot of the air conditioner indoor unit and the target installation position is greater than a preset value, it is determined that the air conditioner indoor unit is installed abnormally;

[0113] S304: Feedback information about the abnormal installation of the air-conditioning indoor unit to the user terminal and the data center server, and control the air-conditioning indoor unit to self-lock to shield the user's control instructions.

[0114] Specifically, this timed detection can ensure that the installation status can be monitored and possible problems can be discovered in time even when the air conditioner is not running.

[0115] The deviation between the actual and target installation positions determines whether the air conditioner indoor unit is properly installed. This real-time determination mechanism helps quickly identify installation anomalies and take preventive measures.

[0116] If an abnormality is detected in the indoor unit (i.e., a deviation greater than a preset value), the system will send feedback to the user terminal and the data center server. This timely feedback mechanism enables users and maintenance personnel to take prompt action.

[0117] Furthermore, for safety reasons, in the event of an installation anomaly, the air conditioner's indoor unit will automatically activate a self-locking function, shielding the user from any control commands. This prevents users from unknowingly using air conditioners that may pose safety risks.

[0118] By locking the air conditioner indoor unit, user interaction with the device is restricted until the problem is resolved. This design ensures user safety and prevents accidents that could result from misoperation.

[0119] After the air conditioner indoor unit self-locks, it needs to be inspected and maintained by a professional to correct the installation anomaly. Once the problem is resolved, the professional can unlock the air conditioner indoor unit and restore its normal operation.

[0120] Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention improve the safety and reliability of air conditioner indoor units by automatically detecting their installation status when powered but not operating, providing timely feedback and implementing self-locking measures when an anomaly is detected. This approach not only protects user safety but also provides timely information to manufacturers and maintenance personnel, helping to quickly resolve issues.

[0121] The following describes the hoisting detection device for an air-conditioning indoor unit provided by the present invention. The hoisting detection device for an air-conditioning indoor unit described below and the hoisting detection method for an air-conditioning indoor unit described above can refer to each other.

[0122] According to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also provides a device for detecting the installation of an air conditioner indoor unit, which mainly includes: a first control module 401, an acquisition module 402, a determination module 403, and a second control module 404.
