DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0044] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, but the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0045] Ceiling appliances are widely used, and can realize the functions of blowing, ventilation, and heating, which can improve the comfort of the room. However, the functions of existing ceiling appliances are too single, and users have no way to expand other uses according to their needs, and cannot meet the various needs of users in daily use.

[0046] Based on this, this embodiment provides a ceiling appliance, in which the cooperation between the main unit and the air outlet plate assembly can realize the basic functions of the ceiling appliance, wherein the air outlet plate assembly includes a circuit element for controlling the main unit and an adjustable angle baffle, which is used to adjust the air volume and air outlet angle, and provides a circuit interface for the expansion module through the expansion interface on the control board connected to the main unit, so that the main unit can have expansion functions, and the expansion module can be installed to expand functions other than air outlet heating, such as lighting, far infrared, ultraviolet sterilization, etc., and the expansion module can also be electrically connected to the air outlet plate assembly through the expansion interface, and the control structure such as the control button on the air outlet plate assembly can be used to control the expansion module; the practicality of the ceiling appliance is significantly improved. The following is a detailed description of it through specific embodiments:

[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 16As shown, a ceiling appliance provided in this embodiment includes: a main unit 1; an air outlet plate assembly 2, which is arranged on the bottom surface of the main unit 1, wherein the bottom surface of the main unit 1 refers to the surface of the main unit 1 facing the ground, and the air outlet plate assembly 2 is connected to the air duct on the main unit 1 and is electrically connected to the main unit 1; a control panel 3, which is arranged on the main unit 1 and is electrically connected to the main unit 1, and at least one group of expansion interfaces 31 is provided on the control panel 3; a keel 5, which is connected to the ceiling, and the main unit 1 is installed on the keel 5 or the ceiling; an expansion module, at least one expansion module is installed on the keel 5, and at least one expansion module is electrically connected to at least one group of expansion interfaces 31, wherein each expansion module has an expansion interface 31 corresponding to it for its connection; it should be noted that when there are two or more expansion modules, the function of each expansion module may be different or the same.

[0048] Exemplarily, the keel 5 is specifically a bracket structure fixedly installed on the ceiling, wherein the keel 5 can be connected and fixed to the ceiling via a second connecting mechanism 62, and the main unit 1 can be connected to the ceiling or the keel 5 via the second connecting mechanism 62. Specifically, the second connecting mechanism 62 can be a bolt, a snap-on or other structure.

[0049] The ceiling appliance provided in this embodiment, the cooperation of the main unit 1 and the air outlet plate assembly 2 can realize the basic functions of the ceiling appliance, wherein the air outlet plate assembly 2 includes a circuit element for controlling the main unit 1 and an adjustable angle baffle, which is used to adjust the air volume and air outlet angle. The expansion interface 31 on the control board 3 connected to the main unit 1 provides a circuit interface for the expansion module, so that the main unit 1 can have an expansion function, and the expansion module can be installed to expand functions other than air outlet heating, such as lighting, far infrared, ultraviolet sterilization, etc., and the expansion module can also be electrically connected to the air outlet plate assembly 2 through the expansion interface 31, and the control of the expansion module can be achieved by operating the control button and other control structures on the air outlet plate assembly 2; the practicality of the ceiling appliance is significantly improved.

[0050] For example, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 9 to 11 as well as Fig.14 and Fig.15 The second connecting mechanism 62 includes a lead screw 621 and two limiting nuts 622 threadedly connected to the lead screw 621, one end of the lead screw 621 is connected to the ceiling or keel 5, and the other end is fixed to the keel 5 or the main unit 1 through the clamping space formed between the two limiting nuts 622; in other embodiments, the second connecting mechanism 62 also includes an elastic buckle 623, one end of the elastic buckle 623 is arranged between the two limiting nuts 622, and the other end is elastically clamped to the keel 5 or the main unit 1.

[0051] Continue to refer to Fig.10 and Fig.12As shown, the host 1 is fixedly connected to the ceiling through the second connecting mechanism 62. At the same time, the bottom surface of the host 1 is elastically connected to the keel 5 through the connecting buckle 63. This arrangement can further improve the connection stability and integrity among the host 1, the ceiling and the keel 5, and ensure the entire ceiling appliance.

[0052] Continue to refer to Figure 5 As shown, a accommodating cavity 11 for placing the control board 3 is opened on the main unit 1; the accommodating cavity 11 can be opened on a side of the main unit 1, and after the control board 3 is installed in the accommodating cavity 11, the expansion interface 31 on the control board 3 is conveniently exposed, and after the expansion module is installed, the wiring and the expansion interface 31 on the expansion module can be more easily connected; in a further embodiment, the accommodating cavity 11 is opened on the bottom surface of the main unit 1, wherein the bottom surface refers to the surface of the main unit 1 away from the side of the ceiling, that is, the surface of the side of the main unit 1 facing the user. At this time, the main unit 1 does not need to be removed from the ceiling when replacing or installing the expansion module, which is more convenient for DIY operation of the ceiling appliance during use.

[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a protective shell 32 is provided on the outer side of the control panel 3; wherein the protective shell 32 may be a sealed structure, which seals and isolates the control panel 3 from the outside to prevent water from entering the control panel 3, and also prevents the control panel 3 from being bumped by other structures. Furthermore, the protective shell 32 may be made of flame-retardant material, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the control panel 3 and the entire ceiling appliance.

[0054] In some embodiments, every two adjacent expansion modules are detachably connected via a first connection mechanism 61; and / or the air outlet plate assembly 2 and the adjacent expansion module are detachably connected via a first connection mechanism 61. In further embodiments, the first connection mechanism 61 includes one or more of a magnetic attraction mechanism, a snap mechanism, and a screw connection mechanism, as long as the adjacent expansion modules or the air outlet plate assembly 2 and the adjacent expansion module can be connected into a reliable integrated structure, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting mechanism 61 is a magnetic sheet arranged at both ends of each expansion module. When two adjacent expansion modules are close to each other, they will attract each other, so that the magnetic sheets at each other's ends are sucked together and connected into a whole. Such a setting can improve the stability of the expansion module when installed on the keel 5, so that all the expansion modules are connected into an integrated structure, or all the expansion modules are connected together with the air outlet plate assembly 2 into an integrated structure, thereby improving the integrity, stability and reliability of the entire ceiling appliance.

[0055] In other embodiments, there may be a certain interval between every two adjacent expansion modules so that different expansion modules can realize the same or different functions for different areas. Specifically, one or more far-infrared modules 42 may be set close to the host 1, and then one or more lighting modules 41 may be set far away from the host 1. Every two lighting modules 41 may be set at an interval of 1-2 meters, so as to achieve a lighting effect in a larger range.

[0056] Continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the air outlet plate assembly 2 is installed on the bottom surface of the host 1, wherein: Figure 1 The lower part in the figure is the direction of the suspended ceiling. Figure 1 The upper side of the expansion module is in the direction of the ground, and the bottom surface of the expansion module is flush with the air outlet plate assembly 2. Specifically, the bottom surface of the expansion module can be a flat structure to ensure the flatness and aesthetics of the bottom of the entire ceiling appliance. The bottom of the expansion module can also be a porous frame structure to ensure that the far-infrared function can directly act on the human body and improve the efficacy; further, the bottom surface of the expansion module and the air outlet plate assembly 2 are flush with the ceiling buckle plate 7 to ensure that the bottom of the ceiling and the ceiling appliance form an integral plane, further improving the flatness and aesthetics of the ceiling.

[0057] In some embodiments, any expansion module includes one of a lighting module 41, a far-infrared module 42 and an ultraviolet sterilization module 43, and the expansion module can also be a module that realizes other functional functions in addition to the functions of these three modules; wherein, the function of the lighting module 41 is to provide a light source for the space below it to illuminate the space; the function of the far-infrared module 42 is to provide an infrared therapy effect for the user in the space below it, thereby achieving effects such as promoting the user's blood circulation; the function of the ultraviolet sterilization module 43 is to sterilize the space below it, and specifically needs to be used when there is no one in the space.

[0058] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the keel 5 includes a mounting track 51 extending along a first direction, and at least one expansion module is slidably arranged on the mounting track 51; wherein, the first direction refers to any direction parallel to the plane of the suspended ceiling; in this way, the keel 5 with the mounting track 51 can be used to more conveniently install and disassemble the expansion module, and the setting position of the expansion module can be more flexibly adjusted, thereby further improving the practicality and applicability of the suspended ceiling appliance; it should be noted that the mounting track 51 can extend outwardly with the air outlet plate assembly 2 as the center; wherein, the mounting track 51 can be directly fixedly connected to the suspended ceiling through the second connecting mechanism 62, and the main unit 1 can be fixedly connected to the mounting track 51 through the second connecting mechanism 62.

[0059] In some embodiments, at least one mounting position 511 for fixing the expansion module is provided on the mounting rail 51, and the mounting position 511 is provided with a locking mechanism 52 that cooperates with the expansion module; that is, after the expansion module slides to the mounting position 511, the locking mechanism 52 can be used to lock the expansion module to the mounting position 511 to prevent it from continuing to slide. The locking mechanism 52 can be a screw mechanism, or a spring snap mechanism, a magnetic mechanism, etc., as long as it can ensure a stable connection between the expansion module and the keel 5.

[0060] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the size of each expansion module is the same, that is, no matter whether the expansion module is a lighting module 41, a far-infrared module 42 or an ultraviolet sterilization module 43, the length, width and height of the outer shell of the expansion module are consistent. It should be understood that the lighting module 41, the far-infrared module 42 and the ultraviolet sterilization module 43 are all installed in the same model of shell to realize different functions, and the size of each installation position 511 is the same; this arrangement can make it more convenient to DIY the entire ceiling appliance, and it is more convenient to adjust the number and position of each expansion module.

[0061] Continue to refer to Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the ceiling appliance also includes a baffle plate 53, which is detachably mounted on the mounting track 51, and the bottom surface of the baffle plate 53 is flush with the air outlet plate assembly 2, and the baffle plate 53 is used to block the portion of the mounting track 51 exposed to the outside; through the setting of the baffle plate 53, the position on the mounting track 51 where the expansion module is not installed can be blocked, so that the user can avoid seeing the internal structure of the ceiling through the mounting track 51. The baffle plate 53 can be connected to the mounting track 51 by plugging and unplugging upward, and at the same time, the connection structure between the baffle plate 53 and the mounting track 51 can be used to slide along the extension direction of the mounting track 51, so as to make it easier to adjust the position of the baffle plate 53, and the length of the baffle plate 53 can be set to a set length, and all gaps can be blocked by multiple baffle plates 53. The baffle plate 53 can also be set to different lengths, which is easier to adapt to the usage habits of different users.

[0062] Continue to refer to Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the air outlet plate assembly 2 is connected to the main unit 1 via a raising frame 12. By adjusting the raising frame 12, the air outlet plate assembly 2 is ensured to be flush with the gusset plate 7 on the ceiling to ensure the overall flatness. The specific height of the raising frame 12 can be adjusted or the distance between the main unit 1 and the air outlet plate assembly 2 can be adjusted by replacing the raising frame 12.
