[0002] In interior decoration and renovation, aluminum square tubes are often used for ceilings in large public spaces, offering a simple, elegant, and three-dimensional effect. Their lightweight nature and ease of disassembly reduce maintenance costs for ceiling equipment. However, current technology requires numerous adapters for square tube installation, and the transparency of the tubes cannot be adjusted after installation. This prevents the adjustment of indoor lighting based on ambient light levels, thus hindering the customization of natural light levels. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a square tube with adjustable transparency and its usage method, which solves the technical problem that the transparency of the square tube cannot be adjusted after installation in the prior art.

The two light-shielding plates are respectively rotatably mounted on the two side wings of the square tube body. The adjustment component includes a telescopic member whose two ends are respectively movably connected to the two light-shielding plates, and a fixing frame for connecting the telescopic member to the building body.
[0005] The present invention further improves the adjustable transparency square tube in that the telescopic member includes a mother rod and a daughter rod rotatably connected in the middle, and a limiting member for limiting the angle between the mother rod and the daughter rod, wherein the two ends of the mother rod and the two ends of the daughter rod are respectively movably connected to the two light-shielding plates.
[0006] The present invention further improves the adjustable transparency square tube by including a vertical mother plate fixed axially to the middle of the mother rod, a vertical son plate fixed axially to the middle of the son rod, and a clamping plate for limiting the angle between the vertical mother plate and the vertical son plate. The vertical mother plate has an opening for the vertical son plate to pass through, and the clamping plate has a plurality of teeth spaced apart for the vertical son plate or the vertical mother plate to be inserted.
[0007] The present invention further improves the adjustable transparency square tube by having a vertical shaft fixed in the middle of the vertical mother plate, the vertical shaft extending vertically through the opening and extending upward to form an extension section for fixing to the fixing frame; and a sleeve for accommodating the opening and fitting on the vertical shaft is formed in the middle of the vertical daughter plate.
[0008] The present invention further improves the adjustable transparency square tube by having sliding balls connected to both ends of the sub-rod and the main rod, and the first side of the light-shielding plate is connected to the two side wings of the square tube body, and the second side is provided with a C-shaped groove for the sliding ball to be slidably installed.
[0009] A further improvement of the adjustable transparency square tube of the present invention is that the two light-blocking plates are respectively connected to the two side wings of the square tube body by hinges in an openable and rotatable manner.
[0010] Secondly, the present invention also provides a method for using a square tube with adjustable transparency, comprising the following steps: providing a square tube with adjustable transparency as described above; when it is necessary to reduce the transparency of the square tube, increasing the opening degree of the two light-shielding plates by adjusting the extension of the telescopic member to increase the horizontal covering area of the light-shielding plates; when it is necessary to increase the transparency of the square tube, decreasing the opening degree of the two light-shielding plates by adjusting the shortening of the telescopic member to decrease the horizontal covering area of the light-shielding plates.
[0011] The method of using the adjustable transparency square tube of the present invention is further improved in that the telescopic member includes a mother rod and a daughter rod rotatably connected in the middle, and a limiting member; when the opening degree of the two light-shielding plates is increased by adjusting the extension of the telescopic member, the angle between the mother rod and the daughter rod is increased by adjusting the limiting member; when the opening degree of the two light-shielding plates is decreased by adjusting the shortening of the telescopic member, the angle between the mother rod and the daughter rod is decreased by adjusting the limiting member; after the adjustment is completed, the angle between the mother rod and the daughter rod is locked by the limiting member.
[0012] The method of using the adjustable permeability square tube of the present invention is further improved in that the limiting member includes a vertical mother plate fixed axially to the middle of the mother rod, a vertical son plate fixed axially to the middle of the son rod, and a locking plate. The vertical mother plate has an opening for the vertical son plate to pass through, and the locking plate has a plurality of teeth spaced apart. After the adjustment is completed, when the angle between the mother rod and the son rod is locked by the limiting member, the locking plate is locked into the vertical son plate and the vertical mother plate through the corresponding teeth.
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the effects of this invention are positive and significant. This invention achieves the opening and closing of the light-shielding panel through an adjustable component, solving the technical problem in existing technologies where the transparency of the installed square tubes cannot be adjusted.

The two light-shielding plates 11 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the square tube body 1. The adjustment component includes telescopic members with both ends movably connected to the two light-shielding plates 11, and a fixing frame 3 for connecting the telescopic members to the building structure. The adjustment component can be an electric telescopic rod, a manual telescopic rod with through holes and pins, or a hydraulic telescopic rod, etc., all of which can achieve length variation, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the two light-shielding plates 11. This invention adjusts the transparency of the square tube through the adjustment component, making the light entering the room adjustable, avoiding the use of keel arrangement for lighting control, reducing the operation of keel positioning and arrangement, improving construction efficiency, and increasing the flexibility of light adjustment.
[0020] Preferably, the telescopic component includes a mother rod and a daughter rod rotatably connected at the center, and a limiting component for limiting the angle between the mother rod and the daughter rod. The two ends of the mother rod and the two ends of the daughter rod are movably connected to the two light-shielding plates 11, respectively. The limiting component can be an electric telescopic rod with its two ends fixed to the daughter rod and the mother rod, a manually telescopic mother-daughter rod with a through hole and a pin, or a hydraulic telescopic rod, etc., all of which can achieve length variation, thereby changing the angle between the daughter rod and the mother rod, and thus enabling the opening and closing of the two light-shielding plates 11.
[0021] Preferably, the limiting member includes a vertical mother plate 6 fixed axially to the middle of the mother rod, a vertical son plate 7 fixed axially to the middle of the son rod, and a locking plate 9 for limiting the angle between the vertical mother plate 6 and the vertical son plate 7. The vertical mother plate 6 has an opening for the vertical son plate 7 to pass through, and the locking plate 9 has a plurality of teeth spaced apart for the vertical son plate 7 or the vertical mother plate 6 to be inserted. The locking plate 9 is divided into two sections according to the different heights of the vertical son plate 7 and the vertical mother plate 6. The teeth of the first section are adapted to the height of the vertical son plate 7, and the teeth of the second section are adapted to the height of the vertical mother plate 6. By manually adjusting the angle between the vertical mother plate 6 and the vertical son plate 7, and then locking the vertical son plate 7 and the vertical mother plate 6 into place through the teeth of the first and second sections of the locking plate 9, the angle is locked. The width of the teeth of the first section is adapted to the thickness of the vertical son plate 7, and the width of the teeth of the second section is adapted to the thickness of the vertical mother plate 6.

The extension section is provided with external threads, and the extension section is screwed to the fixing frame 3 by the external threads or connected by a nut 10. The opening of the vertical mother plate 6 is located in the middle position, the vertical daughter plate 7 passes through the opening, and the sleeve is located in the middle of the vertical daughter plate 7. The vertical mother plate 6 is fixed to both the vertical shaft 8 and the mother rod. Therefore, when adjusting the angle between the vertical daughter plate 7 and the vertical mother plate 6, the vertical daughter plate 7 rotates relative to the vertical mother plate 6.
[0023] Preferably, the fixing frame 3 is a lightweight keel used to connect the extension section and the main building body. The lightweight keel has a through hole for the extension section to pass through. After the extension section passes through the through hole, it is screwed onto the extension section by a nut 10, thereby allowing the adjusting component to be hung and fixed to the bottom of the fixing frame 3, while the lightweight keel is fixed to the main building body. The lightweight keel reduces the weight of the fixing frame itself. In this embodiment, the keel is a U-shaped keel with its opening facing horizontally, the through hole is opened on one side flange plate, and the side flange plate is placed on the lower side.
[0024] Preferably, each end of the sub-rod and the main rod is connected to a sliding ball 5. The first side of the light-shielding plate 11 is connected to the two side wings of the square tube body 1, and the second side is provided with a C-shaped groove 2 for the sliding ball 5 to slide on. The openings of the C-shaped grooves 2 on both sides face the sub-rod and the main rod. The sliding ball 5 slides along the C-shaped groove 2 when the sub-rod and the main rod are adjusted in angle, so as to adapt to the positional changes of the sub-rod and the main rod after the angle adjustment. The sliding ball 5 can be connected to the sub-rod and the main rod by hinge or universal rotation as needed.
[0025] Preferably, the two light-shielding plates 11 are rotatably connected to the two side wings of the square tube body 1 via hinges 4. The hinges 4 allow the light-shielding plates 11 to rotate flexibly, thereby achieving the effect of changing the light transmittance of the light-shielding plates 11.

[0027] Preferably, the telescopic member includes a mother rod and a daughter rod rotatably connected in the middle, and a limiting member; when the opening degree of the two light-shielding plates 11 is increased by adjusting the extension of the telescopic member, the angle between the mother rod and the daughter rod is increased by adjusting the limiting member; when the opening degree of the two light-shielding plates 11 is decreased by adjusting the shortening of the telescopic member, the angle between the mother rod and the daughter rod is decreased by adjusting the limiting member; after the adjustment is completed, the angle between the mother rod and the daughter rod is locked by the limiting member.
[0028] Preferably, the limiting member includes a vertical mother plate 6 fixed axially to the middle of the mother rod, a vertical son plate 7 fixed axially to the middle of the son rod, and a locking plate 9.
