Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of decoration technology, specifically to a snap-fit ​​wall and ceiling structure and its assembly method. Background Technology

[0002] The ceiling structure includes the suspended ceiling and the installation structure used on the wall. The suspended ceiling refers to the decoration of the top of the living environment and is an important part of the interior decoration. With the development of factory production and modular installation in the building decoration field, the current prefabricated ceiling technology has gradually matured. There is a need to find different methods to quickly install the ceiling. For example, Chinese patent application No. 202020223424.5, published on January 26, 2021, discloses a ceiling installation structure, including a triangular keel, a hanger connected to the triangular keel, and a panel embedded in the groove of the triangular keel. The hanger is connected to the main keel, and the main keel is connected to the ceiling. The hanger has a groove with a cavity that is narrow at the opening and wide inside. The triangular keel is placed in the cavity. The hanger restricts the vertical downward freedom of the triangular keel. The panel has a vertically extending installation edge, which is embedded in the groove of the triangular keel for installation. When two panels are on the same horizontal plane and embedded in the groove of the triangular keel at the same time, the installation edges of the two panels are directly provided with lines.

[0003] However, during the installation process of this structure, when the mounting edges of the two panels are simultaneously embedded into the grooves of the triangular keel, since the two panels are installed from below into the triangular keel located above, it is necessary to support the panels at the other end of the two panels to keep them in the same plane during installation. This process can easily cause the two panels to be out of the same plane due to uneven stress, resulting in poor assembly reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a snap-fit ​​wall and ceiling structure and its assembly method. This method can quickly install ceiling panels, and the structure is simple and the method is simple and reliable.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a snap-fit ​​wall and ceiling structure, including a keel, a main keel, and ceiling panels, and also includes a movable device. One end of the movable device is slidably connected to the main keel, one end of the keel is embedded in the ceiling panel, and the other end of the keel is exposed on the surface of the ceiling panel and forms a hanging groove. The other end of the movable device is snapped into the sliding groove. The movable device includes a movable hanger and a sliding member. One end of the movable hanger is provided with an opening, through which the main keel passes and is slidably connected to the movable hanger. One end of the movable hanger is provided with a first sliding groove that matches the upper end of the sliding member. The upper end of the sliding member forms a groove for covering the keel. The first sliding groove is provided on both sides of the groove, and the sliding member is connected to the movable hanger through the first sliding groove. The two sides of the sliding groove are snapped into the lower end of the sliding member.

[0006] The above setup, by creating a groove on the surface of the ceiling panel using the keel, allows the sliding component in the movable device to first engage with the keel. Then, the upper end of the movable bracket in the movable device engages with the main keel through an opening, and the lower end of the movable bracket slides into the first groove through the upper end of the sliding component. This vertically defines the main keel while also connecting the keel to the main keel for ceiling assembly. This method only requires sliding the sliding component into the first groove to achieve connection, without aligning the connector with the groove of the triangular keel. This ensures high reliability and allows for quick installation. Furthermore, by forming a groove on the upper end of the sliding component to cover the keel and forming the first groove at the lower end of the groove, the keel can be covered and connected to the sliding component using a single movable bracket, resulting in a simple structure.

[0007] Furthermore, one end of the slider is fixedly connected to both sides to form a U-shaped groove.

[0008] The above settings, with the U-shaped groove, make it easy to insert the main keel into the sliding part.

[0009] Furthermore, the first slide groove has a narrow opening and a wide inner groove. The upper end of the sliding member is slidably connected to the movable hanging member through the first slide groove. The width of the opening of the first slide groove matches the width of the outer wall of the lower end of the hanging groove. The width of the bottom of the first slide groove matches the width of the upper end of the sliding member. The distance between the bottom of the first slide groove and the upper end of the movable hanging member matches the height of the keel.

[0010] The above configuration, by matching the width of the groove opening of the first sliding groove with the width of the outer wall of the lower end of the hanging groove, allows the movable hanging part to be limited vertically by the upper end of the sliding part after it slides into the main keel. The matching width of the groove opening of the first sliding groove with the width of the lower end of the hanging groove provides a certain pre-fixing effect for the movable hanging part. The matching width of the upper end of the sliding part with the width of the bottom of the first sliding groove allows the main keel to be limited vertically after it slides into the first sliding groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the two sides of the other end of the sliding member extend outward to form a second sliding groove. The inner wall of the second sliding groove is provided with serrated protrusions, and the two sides of the outer side of the sliding groove are provided with snap-fit ​​grooves that match the serrated protrusions. The sliding member slides into the snap-fit ​​groove through the serrated protrusions and snaps into the keel.

[0012] The above configuration achieves engagement with the locking groove on the sliding groove by setting a serrated protrusion on the second sliding groove of the sliding component. The structure is simple and the operation is reliable.

[0013] Furthermore, there are two or more serrated protrusions, one end of which is fixed to the inner side of the second slide groove, and the other end of which extends obliquely upward inside the second slide groove.

[0014] The above settings allow the serrated protrusions to slide into the locking groove, restricting the vertical freedom of the keel and enabling better locking with the keel.

[0015] Furthermore, the hanging groove includes a fixing part, a first fixing member and a second fixing member. One end of the first fixing member and one end of the second fixing member are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing part, and the other ends of the first fixing member and the other ends of the second fixing member extend outward to form a first opening.

[0016] The above configuration allows the slider to slide into the hanging slot through the first opening and engage with the hanging slot.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the first and second fixing members are respectively provided with snap-fit ​​grooves that match the serrated protrusions. The snap-fit ​​grooves are provided along the length direction of the first or second fixing member, and the width of the second sliding groove is greater than the width of the hanging groove.

[0018] The above configuration, by setting the width of the second sliding groove to be greater than the width of the hanging groove, allows the hanging groove to slide into the second sliding groove, while simultaneously allowing the serrated protrusion to engage with the locking groove, thereby enabling the ceiling panel to be locked onto the movable device.

[0019] Furthermore, there are two or more main keels and keels, and at least two movable devices.

[0020] The above settings ensure that the ceiling panels are fully connected to the main keel via movable brackets.

[0021] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for assembling a snap-fit ​​wall top, the specific steps of which include:

[0022] (1) Fix the main keel to the wall or ceiling;

[0023] (2) Place the opening of the movable bracket from top to bottom along the height of the main keel, so that the main keel slides into the opening, and move the movable bracket on the main keel so that the distance between the movable brackets corresponds to the distance between the keels on the ceiling panel.

[0024] (3) Continue to repeat step (2) above, and install the other movable parts in the corresponding positions on the main keel in sequence;

[0025] (4) Align the lower end of the slider with the hanging groove on the keel, so that the hanging groove slides into the second groove of the slider to achieve the engagement between the slider and the keel;

[0026] (5) Continue to repeat the above steps (4), move the other sliding parts to the positions corresponding to the movable brackets, and keep the ceiling panels and the main keel in a relatively balanced position. Then, let several sliding parts slide into the first groove of the movable bracket at the same time to complete the installation of the ceiling panels.

[0027] The above setup, by creating a groove on the surface of the ceiling panel using the keel, allows the sliding component in the movable device to first engage with the keel. Then, the upper end of the movable bracket in the movable device engages with the main keel through an opening, and the lower end of the movable bracket slides into the first groove through the upper end of the sliding component. This vertically defines the main keel while also connecting the keel to the main keel for ceiling assembly. This method only requires sliding the sliding component into the first groove to achieve connection, without aligning the connector with the groove of the triangular keel. This operation offers high reliability and allows for rapid installation.

[0028] Further, step (4) includes sliding the upper end of the slider into the first groove of the movable hanger, while simultaneously sliding the serrated protrusions on both sides of the second groove into the snap-fit ​​grooves on the outer surfaces of the first and second fixing members, so that the slider and the keel are slidably snapped together, and then moving the slider on the keel to the position corresponding to the movable hanger.

[0029] The above configuration achieves engagement with the locking groove on the sliding groove by setting a serrated protrusion on the second sliding groove of the sliding component. The structure is simple and the operation is reliable. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the movable pendant of the present invention.

[0032] Figure 3 for Figure 1 Enlarged view of point A in the middle.

[0033] Figure 4This is an assembly flowchart of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a snap-fit ​​wall and ceiling structure includes a main keel 1, a ceiling panel 2, and a keel 3, as well as a movable device. The main keel 1 can be fixed to the ceiling, and then the movable device can be used to form a ceiling structure with the keel 3 and the ceiling panel 2. Alternatively, the main keel 1 can be fixed to the main body on both sides of the wall, and then the movable device can be used to form a wall structure with the keel 3 and the ceiling panel 2. In this embodiment, the movable device includes a movable hanger 41 and a sliding member 42. There are 3 main keels 1, which are fixedly installed on the wall. There are 2 keels 3 and 6 movable devices 4. One end of the keel 3 is embedded in the ceiling panel 2, and the other end of the keel 3 is exposed on the surface of the ceiling panel 2 to form a hanging groove 5. In this embodiment, the hanging groove 5 includes a fixing part 50, a first fixing member 51, and a second fixing member 52. One end of the first fixing member 51 and one end of the second fixing member 52 are respectively vertically fixed to the two ends of the fixing part 50. The other ends of the first fixing member 51 and the other ends of the second fixing member 52 extend outward to form a first opening.

[0036] like Figure 3As shown, the other end of the movable hanging member 41 is provided with an opening. In this embodiment, the movable hanging member 41 is fixedly connected to both sides at one end to form a U-shaped groove. The width of the U-shaped groove is greater than the width of the main keel 1, allowing the main keel 1 to slide through the U-shaped groove and connect with the movable hanging member. In addition, the other end of the movable hanging member 41 is provided with a first sliding groove 411 that matches the sliding member 42. In this embodiment, the first sliding groove 411 is set with a narrow opening and a wide inner groove. The width of the opening of the first sliding groove 411 matches the width of the outer wall of the lower end of the hanging groove 5. The width of the bottom of the first sliding groove 411 matches the width of the upper end of the sliding member 42. The distance between the bottom of the first sliding groove 411 and the upper end of the movable hanging member 41 matches the height of the keel. This allows the sliding member 41 to slide horizontally through the first sliding groove 411 and the movable hanging member, while restricting vertical movement, thereby preventing the sliding member 41 from getting stuck. The ceiling panel 2 falls off, and then the two sides of the other end of the sliding member 41 extend outward to form a second sliding groove 422. Serrated protrusions 43 are provided on both sides inside the second sliding groove 422. In this embodiment, there are 3 serrated protrusions 43. One end of the serrated protrusion 43 is fixed on the inner side of the second sliding groove 422, and the other end of the serrated protrusion 43 extends obliquely upward inside the second sliding groove 422. The outer surface of the first fixing member 51 and the outer surface of the second fixing member 52 are respectively provided with snap-fit ​​grooves 53 that match the serrated protrusions 43. The width of the second sliding groove 422 is greater than the width of the hanging groove 5, so that the hanging groove 5 can slide into the second sliding groove 422. This makes it easy for the serrated protrusions 43 to slide into the snap-fit ​​grooves 53, which can restrict the vertical movement of the keel 3 in the second sliding groove 422, thereby better and more stably snapping with the keel 3, so that the keel 3 will not loosen after being snapped into the sliding member 42.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the assembly method of the above-mentioned wall and roof structure includes the following specific steps:

[0038] (1) Fix the main keel to the wall or ceiling;

[0039] (2) With the opening of the movable bracket facing downwards, place it from top to bottom along the height of the main keel so that the main keel slides into the opening, and move the movable bracket on the main keel so that the distance between the movable brackets corresponds to the distance between the keels on the ceiling panel.

[0040] (3) Continue to repeat step (2) above, and install the other movable parts in the corresponding positions on the main keel in sequence;

[0041] (4) Align the lower end of the slider with the hanging groove on the keel, so that the hanging groove slides into the second groove of the slider to achieve the engagement of the slider and the keel; step (4) includes sliding the upper end of the slider into the first groove of the movable hanging part, and at the same time, sliding the serrated protrusions on both sides of the second groove into the engaging grooves on the outer surfaces of the first and second fixing parts, so that the slider and the keel are engaged in sliding engagement, and then moving the slider on the keel to the position corresponding to the movable hanging part.

[0042] (5) Continue to repeat the above steps (4), move the other sliding parts to the positions corresponding to the movable brackets, and keep the ceiling panels and the main keel in a relatively balanced position. Then, let several sliding parts slide into the first groove of the movable bracket at the same time to complete the installation of the ceiling panels.
