The positioning method of the air conditioner installation of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 4.

Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a positioning method for installing an air conditioner according to the present invention. The positioning method for installing the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied to the installation of the air conditioner, and the air conditioner can be an indoor cabinet or an indoor hanging machine. The positioning method for installing the air conditioner comprises the following steps:

And S200, determining whether an obstacle exists in a set area in front of the air conditioner according to the first stereo image information.

S300, if no obstacle exists in the set area, controlling the air conditioner to output first instruction information for finishing positioning; otherwise, controlling the air conditioner to output second instruction information of which the direction needs to be continuously adjusted.

Specifically, first stereoscopic image information can be acquired through a front camera device installed at the front part of the air conditioner, and the first stereoscopic image information is sent to the air conditioner controller. The front camera device may be a 3D camera. Optionally, the front camera is mounted near an air outlet on the air conditioner housing. The front camera device collects first three-dimensional image information of a space in front of the air conditioner. The first stereoscopic image information includes three-dimensional position information and size information of an object in a space in front of the air conditioner. The relative distance between the object in front of the air conditioner and the size of the object in front can be determined according to the three-dimensional position information and the size information, so that whether an obstacle exists in a set area in front of the air conditioner can be determined.

The set area is set as an area which can affect or greatly affect the air conditioner to obtain the best air outlet effect and the minimum circulation effect of the indoor air if an obstacle exists in the set area. For example, the set area is an area in a distance range of 2m in front of the air outlet. When the situation that no barrier exists in the set area is detected, the current air conditioner position can meet the best air outlet effect, heat exchange air can be effectively circulated indoors, and the uniformity of temperature distribution of all indoor areas is guaranteed. At the moment, controlling the air conditioner to output first instruction information for finishing positioning; otherwise, the current air conditioner position is not good, and the air conditioner is controlled to output second instruction information which needs to continuously adjust the air conditioner direction.

I.e. the first setting area 2 is a cylindrical spatial area with a sector-shaped cross-section.

When the positioning method for installing the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied to installing an indoor hanging machine, the first directional air deflector is a transverse air deflector, and the first set area is a spherical-body-like space area which is positioned in front of the air outlet and surrounds the air outlet.

When the positioning method for installing the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied to an indoor cabinet, the air outlet of the air conditioner is also provided with the second-direction air deflector, and the set area further comprises a second set area. The second setting area is a second wind sweeping area within a set distance range from the air outlet, and the wind sweeping angle of the second wind sweeping area corresponds to the maximum swing angle of the air deflector in the second direction.

Specifically, the second stereo image information can be collected by a rear camera device installed at the rear part of the air conditioner and sent to the air conditioner controller. The rear camera may be a 3D camera. Optionally, the rear camera is mounted near an air inlet on the air conditioner housing. And the rear camera device collects second three-dimensional image information of the space behind the air conditioner. The second stereoscopic image information includes three-dimensional position information and size information of an object in the space behind the air conditioner. Because the relative position relation between the rear camera device and the air inlet of the air conditioner is determined, the relative distance between an object behind the air conditioner and the air inlet of the air conditioner can be determined according to the three-dimensional position information.

When the positioning method for installing the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the invention is used for installing the indoor cabinet, the air inlet of the air conditioner is arranged on the rear panel of the air conditioner. As shown in fig. 2, when the indoor cabinet is installed between two vertical walls which are arranged at an angle, the distance between the two walls and the air inlet can be determined through the second three-dimensional image information collected by the rear camera device. When other objects are arranged on the wall surface, the relative distance between the other objects and the air inlet of the air conditioner is also considered, such as a curtain hung on the wall surface.

If the relative distance between the two wall surfaces and the air inlet of the air conditioner is larger than 25cm, the arrangement position can ensure smooth air inlet of the air conditioner. On the contrary, if the relative distance between any wall surface and the air inlet of the air conditioner is smaller than 25cm, the arrangement position is considered to be not beneficial to smooth air inlet of the air conditioner, and the air conditioner is controlled to output second instruction information at the moment.

Specifically, the first relative angle and the second relative angle are respectively the minimum included angles between the central axis of the air inlet and the first wall surface 31 and the second wall surface 32. Because the relative position relation between the rear camera device and the air inlet of the air conditioner is determined, the first relative angle and the second relative angle can be determined according to the three-dimensional position information of the object behind the air conditioner. The smaller the difference between the first relative angle and the second relative angle is, the closer the air inlet of the air conditioner is to the middle area of the two wall surfaces. For example, the first wall surface 31 and the second wall surface 32 are vertically disposed, and if the difference between the first relative angle and the second relative angle is zero, it indicates that the air inlet of the air conditioner is located at an angle of 45 ° with respect to both the wall surfaces.
