[0026] As Figures 1-5 ​As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a suspended ceiling assembly 100, comprising: a plurality of bright moldings 1 arranged in parallel and spaced apart in a first direction, and a plurality of dark moldings 2 arranged in parallel and spaced apart in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The plurality of bright moldings 1 and the plurality of dark moldings 2 are staggered to form a grid space for laying decorative plates 3 (see Figure 4 ). The suspended ceiling assembly 100 further comprises a hanger 4 connected to the plurality of bright moldings 1. In the embodiment, the decorative plates 3 can be mineral wool plates, gypsum plates, etc. commonly used in suspended ceilings.

[0027] As shown in Figure 2 , the bright molding 1 comprises a bottom plate 10, a clamping shoulder 11, and a vertical plate 12 connecting the bottom plate 10 and the clamping shoulder 11. The clamping shoulder 11 has a certain thickness for splicing with the dark molding 2.

[0028] As shown in Figure 2 , the dark molding 2 comprises a molding body 20 arranged along the length, and a plurality of hooks 21 arranged at the ends of the molding body 20.

[0029] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , the plurality of hooks 21 are arranged on one side of the opposite two sides of the molding body 20 along the width direction A and are arranged spaced apart along the thickness direction B of the molding body 20. The hook 21 is provided with a hook groove 210, and the opening of the hook groove 210 is directed to the side opposite to the side where the hook 21 is located. The opening of the hook groove 210 is in the shape of an expanded mouth.

[0030] The dark molding 2 in the embodiment can maintain the perpendicularity of the bright molding 1 and the dark molding 2 when the bright molding 1 is installed, reduce the gap between the bright molding 1 and the dark molding 2, and improve the installation flatness and aesthetic degree by arranging the plurality of hooks 21.

[0031] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , the molding body 20 comprises a first horizontal plate 201, a second horizontal plate 202, and a vertical plate 203 connecting the first horizontal plate 201 and the second horizontal plate 202. The plurality of hooks 21 are arranged at one end of the first horizontal plate 201 and extend towards the plane direction where the second horizontal plate 202 is located. Along the length direction of the molding body 20, the first horizontal plate 201 has an extension segment 2010 with a length exceeding the second horizontal plate 202, and the plurality of hooks 21 are arranged on the extension segment 2010.

[0032] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the hook 21 includes a base plate 211 extending from the surface of the extension section 2010 opposite to the second horizontal plate 202 toward the plane of the second horizontal plate 201. The base plate 211 is parallel to the vertical plate 203, and a hook groove 210 is provided on the base plate 211. The base plates 211 of the plurality of hooks 21 are parallel to each other, and the plurality of hook grooves 210 form a holding space with a certain distance along the thickness direction of the dark keel 1, which can more stably position the dark keel 1.

[0033] The hook 21 also includes a connecting plate 212 that is connected to the base plate 211 and the first horizontal plate 201 respectively. The connecting plate 211 is parallel to the first horizontal plate 201. The hook 21 and the first horizontal plate 201 are integrally formed from the base material. The base plate 211 and the connecting plate 212 of the hook 21 are formed by stacking and bending the base material from the side of the first horizontal plate 201 inward and extending downward. Thus, the hook 21 is easy to process and produce, and has high strength and stability. It is not easy to bend or deform when it is snapped onto the exposed keel 1.

[0034] The substrate 211 includes a first extension wall 2101 near the upright plate 203 and a second extension wall 2102 away from the upright plate 203, forming a hook groove 210. The length of the first extension wall 2101 is greater than the length of the second extension wall 2102. Since the inner side of the exposed keel 1 and the concealed keel 2 is prone to tilting under force when they are interlocked, the design of the long and short walls can further prevent the exposed keel 1 and the concealed keel 2 from tilting when they are interlocked.

[0035] The base plates 211 of the multiple hooks 21 are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the keel body 20. The first extension wall 2101 of the multiple hooks 21 is at the same height and the second extension wall 2102 is also at the same height.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, multiple decorative panels 3 are connected to multiple concealed keels 2 to form multiple grid-like spaces, and the adjacent sides of multiple decorative panels 3 are provided with slots 30 for installation in conjunction with the concealed keels 2 so that the concealed keels 2 can bear the weight of the decorative panels 3.

[0037] When assembling the ceiling assembly 100 of this application, multiple exposed joists 1 and multiple concealed joists 2 are connected to form multiple grid-like spaces, and decorative panels 3 are laid on them. The second horizontal plate 202 of each concealed joist 2 is inserted into the slot 30 of the adjacent decorative panel 3 to splice the adjacent decorative panel 3. The two ends of each concealed joist 2 are connected to two adjacent exposed joists 1, and the hook grooves 210 of the multiple hooks 21 at both ends of the concealed joist 2 hold the shoulder 11 of the exposed joist 1 and position the exposed joist 1.

[0038] The top width of the hook groove 210 of the plurality of hooks 21 in the embodiment is the same as the width of the fascia 1, the hook groove 210 is flared, the width gradually increases from the top, and the plurality of hooks 21 are conveniently hung on the fascia 1. The plurality of hooks 21 are at the same horizontal height and have a certain distance in the middle. When the plurality of hooks 21 are on the fascia 1, they can support each other on the surface of the fascia 1, keep stable, and enable the concealed joist 2 to keep vertical to the fascia 1 during installation, and enable the concealed joist 2 to slide on the fascia 1.

[0039] The fascia 1 and the concealed joist 2 are used together in the embodiment, can keep the concealed joist 2 and the fascia 1 stable and vertical at all times, are convenient to install, can solve the problem of inclined installation of the plate, successfully solve the problems of poor gap between the plates and poor overall hoisting flatness, and improve hoisting aesthetics.
