Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated ceiling panels, in particular to a ceiling panel with integrated projection function. Background Art

[0002] The indoor ceiling is generally composed of a keel frame fixed to the top of the wall and a ceiling board laid on the keel frame. The ceiling board is laid toward the ground and can be decorated according to the decoration requirements. Projectors have become popular in daily life as film and television projection equipment. In recent years, some families have chosen to use projectors as film and television projection equipment instead of TVs after decoration. Compared with TVs, projectors are smaller and their images can be enlarged at will. Many projectors are directly installed on the ceiling board to reduce the impact on the ground. However, many projectors currently installed under the ceiling for use in the house are directly nailed to the ceiling board with cables, which is rather abrupt and affects the overall aesthetics of the room. They cannot be hidden and stored when not in use, and there is a lack of projection equipment that is integrated into the ceiling board and easy to hide.

[0003] Based on this, the present invention designs a ceiling panel with integrated projection function to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

The ceiling sub-board 2 uses a gantry bracket 3 to integrate the projector 5, and the installation box 20 is installed on the keel frame of the ceiling through a fixing rod 23. The second motor 21 is used to control the rotation of the gear 22. The ceiling sub-board 2 can be raised and lowered through the cooperation of the gear 22 and the rack 19, so as to store and project the projector 5. The wiring hub 11 mainly integrates the adapter plugs of the projector 5, the second motor 21 and the audio 6, which can transfer the power supply and function set wiring problems of the projector 5, etc. The second motor 21 does not need to follow the lifting and lowering, and its power supply and function set wiring can be directly fixed and wired through the keel frame of the ceiling.

[0019] Preferably, the cable management mechanism further includes an auxiliary plate 15 and a counterweight 17. The external end of the cable collection socket 11 is plugged with a main flexible cable 16. The bottom of the auxiliary plate 15 is rotatably connected to a hanging wheel 18. One end of the main flexible cable 16 extends from the cable collection socket 11 and passes through the hanging wheel 18. The counterweight 17 is fixed to one end of the main flexible cable 16 passing through the hanging wheel 18. The main flexible flat cable 16 is a power supply and functional line collection cable for the projector 5, the audio system 6 and the first motor 7, and is connected to the control components and circuits through one end thereof. In the cable management mechanism, the auxiliary plate 15 fixed to the ceiling keel cooperates with its hanging wheel 18 and the counterweight block 17 to assist the main flexible flat cable 16 in being stored and lowered, and cooperates with the movement of the projector 5 to make the main flexible flat cable 16 stable when being lowered, less likely to be affected when being stored and more orderly.

[0020] Preferably, the hanging wheel 18 is an inclined shape with a small middle part and large ends, so that the main flexible flat cable 16 is not easily deviated; The inclined shape of the hanging wheel 18 with a small middle part and large ends can prevent the main flexible flat cable 16 hanging therethrough from being easily deviated and more stable, thereby affecting the storage and lowering.

[0021] Preferably, a first motor 7 is fixed to the outer wall of the gantry bracket 3, a transmission shaft of the first motor 7 extends vertically downward and is transmission-connected to a first synchronous wheel 8, and a third flexible flat cable 14 is plugged between the first motor 7 and the cable collection socket 11; The first motor 7 of the gantry bracket 3 is used to control the rotation of the first synchronous wheel 8 and assist the projector 5 in angle adjustment, while its main power supply and functional requirements are transmitted through the third flexible flat cable 14 assembly.

[0022] Preferably, a second synchronous wheel 9 is fixed to the outer wall of the rotating column 4, and a synchronous belt 10 is arranged between the first synchronous wheel 8 and the second synchronous wheel 9. The first synchronous wheel 8 and the second synchronous wheel 9 are connected by a synchronous belt 10. When the first synchronous wheel 8 rotates in a controlled manner, the synchronous belt 10 drives the second synchronous wheel 9 to rotate.

[0023] Preferably, a speaker 6 is fixed on the top of the ceiling sub-board 2, and a second flexible flat cable 13 is plugged between the speaker 6 and the wiring hub 11; In order to improve the experience of people using the projector 5, a speaker 6 is installed on the top of the ceiling sub-panel 2. At the same time, a data transmission line of sufficient length is connected between the speaker 6 and the projector 5 to provide it with sound playback capability. The power supply and function set cable of the speaker 6 are connected by the second soft cable 13 and the hub socket 11 for transmission.

[0024] Preferably, the outer wall of the auxiliary plate 15 is provided with a plurality of through holes for being fixed to the keel frame of the ceiling with bolts; The through holes of the auxiliary plate 15 are used to insert bolts, and the auxiliary plate 15 and the keel of the ceiling are fixed together by the bolts, and the auxiliary hanging wheel 18 guides the wiring.

[0025] Preferably, a plurality of through holes are provided at one end of the fixing rod 23 for fixing to the keel frame of the ceiling with matching bolts; One end of the fixing rod 23 is also inserted with a bolt through the through hole, and the fixing rod 23 is fixed to the ceiling keel frame by the bolt to assist the lifting of the ceiling sub-panel 2.

[0026] A specific application of this embodiment is: when the projector 5 is used, the second motor 21 controls the gear 22 to rotate, and the gear 22 drives the rack 19 to move downward, which can simultaneously drive the gantry bracket 3 and the ceiling sub-board 2 to move downward, so that the projector 5 and the audio 6 are simultaneously extended out of the opening of the ceiling main board 1 to perform audio and video projection; When the gantry bracket 3 moves downward, the projector 5, the audio system 6 and the first motor 7, which are electrical devices that need to be moved, and the main flexible flat cable 16 that needs to be used will be pulled through the hanging wheel 18 to extend together. At the same time, the pulling force accompanying the rise of the counterweight block 17 will make the following main flexible flat cable 16 more vertical and stable. When the gantry bracket 3 and the ceiling sub-board 2 are moved upward for storage, the weight of the counterweight block 17 and the pulling force when it descends will make the main flexible flat cable 16 automatically stored above the ceiling main board 1, and the storage and reset of the components such as the ceiling sub-board 2 will not be affected by the length. When projecting through the projector 5, the first motor 7 can be used to control the first synchronous wheel 8 to rotate, and then the synchronous belt 10 can be used to drive the second synchronous wheel 9 and the rotating column 4 to rotate synchronously, and then the playback end of the projector 5 can follow the movement to provide more projection angles.
