Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of integrated ceilings, in particular to a conversion frame. Background Art

[0002] With the popularity of large integrated ceiling panels, linear appliances are also becoming more and more popular. However, linear appliances are narrow panels with a main unit length greater than the panel length. When installing them on gypsum ceilings, the gypsum board needs to be cut to accommodate the linear appliance installation, which is quite difficult. Therefore, a conversion frame is generally used for installation, but the conversion frame will be exposed between the linear appliance and the gypsum board, affecting the overall appearance.

[0003] In addition, the conversion frame can only be fixed to the plaster ceiling with screws and cannot bear the weight of the linear appliances, which means that the linear appliances need to be installed independently and suspended above the conversion frame. This not only increases the process, affects assembly efficiency, and increases installation costs, but also affects the user experience of the linear appliances because the linear appliances cannot be effectively aligned with the conversion frame. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to address the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a hidden linear conversion frame for gypsum ceilings. An upper connection portion connected to the ceiling, a built-in connection portion connected to the linear electrical appliance, and an external connection portion connected to the gypsum board are provided on the frame. This ensures that the linear electrical appliance is flush with the bottom surface of the gypsum board and serves to hide the frame, thereby improving the aesthetics. It also ensures that the linear electrical appliance is accurately installed with the frame and that the frame can bear the weight of the linear electrical appliance and the gypsum board, effectively simplifying the assembly structure, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing costs.

[0005] The present invention is achieved by the following method: a concealed linear conversion frame for a gypsum ceiling, comprising a frame body with a through slot therein, the top edge of the frame body forming an upwardly exposed upper connection portion, the top of the long sidewall of the through slot being fastened with a clamping member to form an internal connection portion, and the bottom edge of the frame body extending outward to form an external connection portion having a flat contact surface.

[0023] The essential features of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0024] like Figure 1The illustrated hidden linear conversion frame for a gypsum ceiling consists of a frame 1 with a through slot 2. The top edge of the frame 1 forms an upwardly exposed upper connection portion. A clamp 3 is fastened to the top of the long sidewall of the through slot 2, forming an internal connection portion. The bottom edge of the frame 1 extends outward to form an external connection portion with a flat contact surface. The internal and external connections are respectively fixed to the gypsum board and the linear appliance, and are suspended at a predetermined position by the upper connection portion, so that the gypsum board and the bottom surfaces of the linear appliance are flush and overlap, concealing the frame 1. The provision of an upper connection portion for connection to the ceiling, an internal connection portion for connection to the linear appliance, and an external connection portion for connection to the gypsum board on the frame 1 ensures that the linear appliance is flush with the bottom surface of the gypsum board and conceals the frame 1, enhancing aesthetics. It also ensures that the linear appliance is accurately mounted on the frame 1 and that the frame 1 can bear the weight of the linear appliance and the gypsum board, effectively simplifying the assembly structure, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing costs.

[0025] In actual operation, the frame 1 includes an upper connection part, a built-in connection part and an external connection part. The upper connection part is connected to the triangular keel arranged under the ceiling through a hanging piece 5, the built-in connection part fixes the linear electrical appliance through a clamp 8, and the external connection part is fixed to the gypsum board through a connecting plate 12, which ensures that the gypsum board and the linear electrical appliance are fixed through the frame 1, and the relative position between the gypsum board and the linear electrical appliance is fixed, and the frame 1 is shielded by the flat connection to improve the aesthetics, and it also ensures that the gypsum board and the linear electrical appliance are both fixed under the ceiling through the frame, simplifying the assembly structure, improving assembly efficiency and reducing costs.

[0026] During installation, first, the clamping member 3 is installed in the through groove 2 to form the clamping opening 8; then, the frame 1 is fixed under the triangular keel through the hanging piece 5; then, the linear connector is inserted into the through groove 2 from bottom to top and clamped in the corresponding clamping opening 8 through the plug-in strip; finally, the gypsum board and the connecting plate 12 are fitted and fixed.

[0027] After being installed in place, the gypsum board and the through groove 2 are offset from each other, providing a downwardly exposed channel for the linear electrical appliance arranged in the through groove 2, ensuring that the linear electrical appliance can be connected to the indoor space through the lower notch of the through groove 2, ensuring that the linear electrical appliance can perform the corresponding function, and also ensuring that the bottom periphery of the linear electrical appliance can be flush with the bottom surface of the gypsum board, thereby shielding the frame 1 through horizontal interference and improving the aesthetics.

[0028] In actual operation, a horizontal card plate 4 is provided on the long top edge of the frame 1, and the card plate 4 is clamped and hung below the preset station by a hanging piece 5. The top of the hanging piece 5 is connected to the triangular keel, and the bottom is provided with a hanging hole 6 (such as Figure 2As shown, the hanging hole 6 is open downward and has a small opening and a large cavity, allowing the top edge of the frame 1 to be inserted into the hanging hole 6 from bottom to top and secured by the clamping plate 4. The top of the hanging piece 5 is fixed to the triangular keel, and the bottom is inserted into the clamping plate 4 through the hanging hole 6, ensuring that the frame 1 is suspended and fixed in a horizontal position, thereby providing stable support for installing gypsum board and linear appliances.

[0029] In actual operation, the edge of the card plate 4 is bent to form a reinforcement edge 7. The reinforcement plate and the card plate 4 are integrally formed, which effectively improves the deformation resistance of the card plate 4, thereby ensuring that the frame 1 can withstand a large load, ensuring that the ceiling can be effectively suspended, and ensuring safety in use.

[0030] In actual operation, the built-in connection portion is a downwardly exposed clip 8 built into the through slot 2. The linear appliance is plugged into the corresponding clip 8 via a plug-in strip located around the perimeter of its top surface, allowing the linear appliance panel to be installed within the through slot 2. The through slot 2 has a rectangular cross-section, and the clip 8 is located on the long side wall of the through slot 2. This not only increases the length of the clamping section between the linear appliance and improves the reliability of the clamping, but also facilitates insertion and removal, enhancing ease of use.

[0031] In actual operation, a buckle groove 9 is provided at the top of the long side wall of the through slot 2, and the top of the clamping member 3 is clamped in the buckle groove 9 by a fastener, so that the bottom of the clamping member 3 cooperates with the bottom of the long side wall of the through slot 2 to form the clamping opening 8. The buckle groove 9 is horizontally opened and has a small mouth and a large cavity. The top and bottom surfaces of the fastener are respectively provided with notches for inserting the notch of the buckle groove 9, so that the fastener is buckled at the notch of the buckle groove 9. The buckle groove 9 allows the top of the clamping member 3 to be inserted and fixed, which is not only convenient for assembly, but also allows the clamping member 3 and the frame to be processed with different materials, ensuring that the frame 1 has good structural strength, ensuring that the clamping member 3 has good elasticity, and ensuring that the clamping opening 8 can firmly clamp the plug-in strip.

[0032] In actual operation, the bottom of the long side wall of the through slot 2 is provided with an anti-slip protrusion 10. The bottom of the clamping member 3 bends toward the long side wall of the through slot 2 and clamps the plug strip. The bottom of the clamping member 3 returns to the anti-slip protrusion 10 and effectively clamps the plug strip, preventing the plug strip from escaping the clamping opening 8. The bottom edge of the clamping member 3 bends away from the long side wall of the through slot 2 and forms an expanded guide edge 11. The guide edge 11 facilitates receiving the plug strip by expanding the opening size, thereby guiding the plug strip into the clamping opening 8.

[0033] In actual operation, the external connection part is a connection plate 12 provided at the bottom edge of the frame 1 and fixedly connected to the top surface of the gypsum board, and the bottom surface of the connection plate 12 forms the contact surface (such as Figure 3(As shown). The bottom edge of the frame 1 extends horizontally outward to form the connecting plate 12. During installation, the vertical projections of the gypsum board and the through-slot 2 are offset from each other. This allows for both the gypsum board edge to be attached to the connecting plate 12 and for the through-slot 2 to be exposed by opening a through hole in the middle of the gypsum board. Both of these are considered specific embodiments of the present invention. The bottom surface of the connecting plate 12 is provided with a groove, which limits the slippage of the gypsum board and facilitates the passage of fasteners for secure connection.

[0034] In actual operation, the frame 1 can be formed by assembling four profiles, which is convenient for batch processing and can also be combined and assembled to form frames 1 with different sizes as needed to meet usage requirements.
