[0002] The smart lighting market is growing rapidly, with applications expanding from commercial to residential and urban lighting. However, with rapidly rising labor costs, improving system usability and ease of installation has become a bottleneck hindering the widespread adoption of smart systems. Simplifying the installation and commissioning process, enabling traditional lighting installers to use the equipment, is a crucial step in accelerating the implementation of smart lighting systems. Furthermore, with the increasing application of smart systems, generating deployment maps that include both physical and network location information of the luminaires can significantly improve the management efficiency of smart lighting equipment.

[0003] Generating a lighting deployment map requires associating the network addresses of the connected lighting fixtures with their physical locations. Current methods for connecting lighting devices to the network generally include: 1. Labeling the devices; 2. Using built-in NFC; 3. Having a proactive reporting function, where the device's address and password are reported to the gateway. However, if there are many lighting devices, device identification becomes very complex, and the above methods are difficult to directly obtain the physical location of the fixtures. Furthermore, on-site lighting equipment is typically installed on rooftops, making it difficult to access. All of the above methods for connecting IoT lighting fixtures to the network present relatively high difficulties and low efficiency during construction. Therefore, a lighting fixture information collection device is needed to provide a foundation for subsequent IoT lighting fixture network connection and the generation of lighting deployment maps. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies in the collection of lighting fixture network access information and physical location information. The technical problem to be solved is to provide a lighting fixture information collection device for generating IoT lighting fixture deployment maps.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a lighting information collection device for generating IoT lighting deployment maps, comprising: a base, a stepper motor and a rotating platform, wherein the rotating platform is rotatably mounted on the base by the stepper motor;

[0006] The rotating platform is equipped with a control circuit, which includes a camera, a processor, a geomagnetic sensor, and a communication module. The camera is used to collect image information of the lamps, and the geomagnetic sensor is used to collect position information. The signal output terminals of the camera and the geomagnetic sensor are connected to the processor, and the output terminal of the processor is connected to the control terminal of the stepper motor. The processor is connected to a mobile terminal through the communication module.

[0009] The control circuit also includes a power supply module for power supply, which is connected to an external power source via a USB interface.

[0010] The rotating platform also includes a housing, with a camera mounted on the surface of the housing of the acquisition terminal, and a stepper motor installed inside the housing, its shaft passing through the bottom of the housing and fixedly connected to the base.

[0011] The base includes a turntable bracket and a support base. The turntable bracket is located at the bottom of the housing and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the stepper motor. The support base is connected to the turntable bracket by a thread.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] This invention provides a lighting information collection device for generating IoT lighting deployment maps.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a lighting information collection device for generating IoT lighting deployment maps, including: a base 1, a stepper motor 2, and a rotating platform 3, wherein the rotating platform 3 is rotatably mounted on the base 1 via the stepper motor 2.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment, the rotating platform 3 is equipped with a control circuit, which includes a camera, a processor, a geomagnetic sensor, and a communication module. The camera is used to collect image information of the lamps, and the geomagnetic sensor is used to collect position information. The signal output terminals of the camera and the geomagnetic sensor are connected to the processor, and the output terminal of the processor is connected to the control terminal of the stepper motor. The processor is connected to a mobile terminal through the communication module.

[0025] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the communication module includes a WIFI and a USB module, and the processor is connected to the mobile terminal via WIFI or USB, wherein the mobile terminal is a mobile phone or a tablet.

[0026] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control circuit also includes a power module, which is connected to an external power source via a USB module. The external power source can be a power bank or a mobile phone.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the stepper motor 2 is equipped with a high reduction ratio gear for precisely controlling the rotation angle of the rotating platform under the control of the processor. Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotation angle of the stepper motor 2 is preferably 45 degrees or an integer multiple of 45 degrees. Taking 90 degrees as an example, four rotations can achieve 360° range of lamp image acquisition.

[0028] In this embodiment, after the camera rotates, the new coordinate position of the lamp can be calculated using a rotation matrix. The rotation matrix is ​​represented by R, and the coordinate transformation relationship can be calculated using the following formula:

[0029]

[0030] Where (x, y, z) are the three-dimensional coordinates measured after rotation, and (x', y', z') represent the coordinates after coordinate transformation. In this specific embodiment, the camera only rotates in the horizontal direction, that is, around the z-axis. Assuming the coordinates of a device are (x, y, z), after the camera rotates by an angle θ, its coordinates in the new coordinate system are transformed to (x', y', z'), and the transformation formula is:

[0031]

[0032] Therefore, by precisely controlling the rotation angle of the camera using a stepper motor, the three-dimensional coordinates of the lamp's position in the captured images at various angles can be obtained.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the rotating platform 3 further includes a housing 4, the camera is mounted on the surface of the housing 4 of the acquisition terminal, the stepper motor 2 is mounted inside the housing 4, and its rotating shaft passes through the bottom of the housing and is fixedly connected to the base 1.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 1 includes a turntable bracket 11 and a support base 12. The turntable bracket 11 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 4 and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the stepper motor 2. The support base 12 is connected to the turntable bracket 11 by a thread.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the support base 12 includes a triangular bracket 13 and a support rod 14. The top of the support rod 14 is provided with a screw rod connected to the bottom of the turntable bracket 11, and the bottom is provided with the triangular bracket 13. The angle of the rotating platform 3 can be adjusted to be horizontal via the triangular bracket 13, ensuring that the camera's pitch angle remains constant during rotation of the rotating platform 3.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the housing 4 is provided with a first surface 41 that is inclined upward at 45°, the camera 42 is disposed on the first surface 41, the processor is disposed on the control circuit board 43, and the control circuit board 43 is disposed on the top of the housing 4. By tilting the camera 42, a wider range of lighting image acquisition can be achieved.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the IoT lighting fixture includes a power supply, communication module, LED beads, dimming circuit, etc. Figure 5 As shown, the IoT lighting fixtures are connected to a gateway via a power supply line. The gateway manages the IoT lighting fixtures and connects to the platform. When information collection and network access operations are required, the platform uses the gateway to control the IoT lighting fixtures to emit light by flashing, sending device information about the IoT lighting fixtures. Mobile phones can connect to the platform via an app. The system platform and the app can display the status of the entire network system and provide a user interface.

[0038] In this embodiment, the camera captures images at a specific frequency. The processor can calculate the position and on / off state of each light in the image using image recognition technology and a deep learning model. By analyzing the on / off state of the lights in consecutive images, the camera acquires LED light information. The image recognition method used by the processor can be a conventional image recognition method or a commonly used deep learning model. Alternatively, the processor can directly upload image and angle information to a mobile phone or platform, where an app can perform image recognition to obtain the image's geographic location and network address information.

[0039] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Driven by a stepper motor, the camera can acquire image information of the lamps above in a 360° range. Image recognition then allows the acquisition of the position information of all lamps relative to the camera. Furthermore, because the processor can precisely control the rotation angle of the stepper motor, it can accurately acquire the rotation angle of the rotating platform in real time, i.e., the camera's shooting angle, thereby obtaining the physical position information of all lamps relative to the camera (i.e., the device). Since the geomagnetic sensor can acquire the physical position of the camera, this invention can ultimately obtain the absolute physical position of all lamps in the image. In addition, the lamp images acquired by the camera include the on / off state information of all lamps in the image. By recognizing the changes in the on / off state of the lamps over a period of time, the network address information of each lamp can be identified, and the on / off state of the lamps can be recognized. Therefore, this invention can automatically acquire the network address information and physical position information of the lamps, with high acquisition efficiency and minimal manual intervention. When in use, staff only need to place the device in a suitable position, and the processor will automatically control the stepper motor to acquire images from multiple angles within a 360° range. This will obtain information on all lights within a certain acquisition range centered on that position. After the information acquisition is completed, staff only need to place the device in the next acquisition position.

[0040] In summary, this invention provides a lighting information collection device for generating IoT lighting deployment maps. By placing a camera on a rotating platform to acquire lighting network access information, it uses image acquisition to obtain information such as the address, password, and location of the lighting equipment, thus greatly simplifying the network access debugging process during the installation of smart lighting devices. Furthermore, this invention can automatically acquire the physical location information of the device using a geomagnetic sensor. Combined with the physical location information of the lighting fixture relative to the device, the physical location of each IoT lighting fixture can be obtained, thereby establishing a correlation between the device's network access information and its physical location. This provides a foundation for subsequent IoT lighting network access and the generation of lighting deployment maps. Moreover, by controlling the rotation angle of the rotating platform with a stepper motor, 360° image acquisition can be achieved, improving acquisition efficiency. Combined with the rotation angle of the stepper motor, the location of the lighting fixture can also be accurately positioned. Therefore, this invention can significantly reduce manual labor, accelerate the debugging process, is easy to implement, and has wide applicability.
