Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of outdoor facilities, in particular to a suspended ceiling structure. Background Art
[0002] Photovoltaic carports, a type of outdoor installation that converts solar energy and charges new energy vehicles, have emerged in recent years with the rise of new energy vehicles. To enhance the aesthetic appeal of photovoltaic carports and reduce temperatures, a suspended ceiling is often installed on the underside of the roof. However, currently used indoor suspended ceiling structures are not suitable for outdoor installations due to their poor wind resistance. However, the most commonly used method for securing the suspended ceiling panels is to use long screws. The upper end of the long screw is attached to the longitudinal beam, a rectangular tubular structure, and the ceiling panels are then secured using a pair of nuts at the other end of the long screw. To improve the reliability of the attached ceiling panels, high-strength screws are often used. However, these screws are costly and require multiple large holes in the longitudinal beam. Some installation methods also use welding to secure the screws. The former connection method compromises the structural strength of the longitudinal beam, while the latter requires welding during installation, making it susceptible to weather and other restrictions, thus reducing the construction period of the suspended ceiling structure. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model provides a suspended ceiling structure to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, is convenient for installation, and improves reliability after installation, thus having strong practicality.
[0004] In order to achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following technologies are proposed:
[0005] A suspended ceiling structure is installed on the lower side of the ceiling of a photovoltaic carport, which includes a plurality of connectors installed on the longitudinal beams of the photovoltaic carport by screws. A plurality of suspended ceiling panels are provided on the lower side of the ceiling, and the suspended ceiling panels are installed on the longitudinal beams by connectors. The connecting members are of a special structure, and the connecting members are installed on the longitudinal beams by at least one pair of self-tapping screws, and the suspended ceiling panels are also installed on the connecting members by self-tapping screws.
[0006] Furthermore, the connecting member includes a vertical plate, the upper end of the vertical plate is bent toward one side with a first horizontal plate, the lower end of the vertical plate is bent toward the other side with a second horizontal plate, both ends of the vertical plate are welded with side plates, and the inner sides of the side plates are welded to both ends of the first and second horizontal plates. The first horizontal plate is mounted on the longitudinal beam by screws, and the ceiling plate is mounted on the second horizontal plate by screws. In other words, the projection surface of the first horizontal plate does not overlap with the projection surface of the second horizontal plate. This structural design method is convenient for the connection operation between the connecting member and the longitudinal beam and the ceiling plate respectively, and secondly, it provides its own strength through the staggered setting of the two. When the ceiling plate is subjected to impact force, the force is shared by components such as the side plates, thereby avoiding deformation of the connecting member, thereby improving the reliability after connection.
[0007] Furthermore, a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the first transverse plate, and screws are passed through the mounting holes. By pre-opening the mounting holes, the difficulty of connecting the connecting piece and the longitudinal beam is reduced.
[0008] Furthermore, the other end of the first transverse plate is bent downward to form a first skirt plate, and the other end of the second transverse plate is bent upward to form a second skirt plate. The arrangement of the first skirt plate and the second skirt plate further improves the structural strength of the connecting piece to prevent it from deformation.
[0009] Furthermore, the ceiling panel has a rectangular structure, and a surrounding plate is bent upward on the outer circumference of the ceiling panel. The arrangement of the surrounding plate strengthens the structural strength of the ceiling panel to prevent deformation.
[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided on the upper side of the ceiling panel, which can significantly improve the structural strength of the ceiling panel.
[0011] In order to further enhance the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing ribs and the structural strength of the reinforcing ribs themselves, the reinforcing ribs are configured as an inverted V-shaped structure or an inverted concave structure.
[0012] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the installation of the ceiling panel and improve the aesthetics of the ceiling, a plurality of mounting ears are installed on the side walls of the long sides of the ceiling panel by screws. The mounting ears are installed on the connecting parts. When the ceiling panel is installed and fixed, the screws will be located inside, thereby improving the aesthetics of the ceiling.
[0013] Furthermore, the mounting ears on one side are staggered with respect to the mounting ears on the other side, and this staggered arrangement facilitates the installation operation during the suspended ceiling.
[0014] Furthermore, a gap exists between adjacent ceiling panels, filled with a filler strip made of a material such as rubber. The filler strip can be positioned internally with mounting lugs and other installation features, thereby enhancing aesthetics. Furthermore, when external forces act on the ceiling panels, the filler strip reduces force transmission. Its easy deformation absorbs the energy transferred by the force, thereby improving the reliability of the installed ceiling structure.
[0015] The advantages of the above technical solution are:
[0016] The utility model is convenient for installation and construction of the suspended ceiling structure, has remarkable aesthetics after installation, and has remarkable reliability after connection. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a suspended ceiling structure is installed on the lower side of the ceiling of a photovoltaic carport, which includes a plurality of connectors 2 installed on the longitudinal beams 1 of the photovoltaic carport by screws, and a plurality of suspended ceiling panels 3 are provided on the lower side of the ceiling, which are installed on the longitudinal beams 1 through the connectors 2.
[0025] The connector 2 includes a vertical plate 20. A first horizontal plate 21 is bent toward one side at the upper end of the vertical plate 20, and a second horizontal plate 23 is bent toward the other side at the lower end of the vertical plate 20. Side plates 25 are welded to both ends of the vertical plate 20. The inner sides of the side plates 25 are welded to the ends of the first and second horizontal plates 21 and 23. The first horizontal plate 21 is mounted to the longitudinal beam 1 with screws, and the ceiling panel 3 is mounted to the second horizontal plate 23 with screws. The first horizontal plate 21 has multiple mounting holes, and the screws are inserted into these holes. A first skirt plate 22 is bent downward at the other end of the first horizontal plate 21, and a second skirt plate 24 is bent upward at the other end of the second horizontal plate 23.
[0026] The ceiling panel 3 is a rectangular structure, and a panel 32 is bent upward on the outer periphery of the ceiling panel 3. In addition, the optional ceiling panel 3 can be a polygonal structure such as a triangle or a circle, and a heat-insulating material can be set inside it to improve the heat-insulating effect of the ceiling panel. A plurality of reinforcing ribs 30 are provided on the upper side of the ceiling panel 3, and the reinforcing ribs 30 are in an inverted V-shaped structure or an inverted concave structure. A plurality of mounting ears 31 are installed on the side wall of the long side of the ceiling panel 3 by screws, and the mounting ears 31 are installed on the connecting piece 2, and the mounting ears 31 on one side are staggered with the mounting ears 31 on the other side. There is a gap between two adjacent ceiling panels 3, and the gap is filled with a filling strip.
[0027] During the processing of the connector 2 proposed in this embodiment, the first transverse plate 21, the second transverse plate 23, the vertical plate 20, and the first and second skirt plates 22, 24 are bent and formed. The side plates 25 are then welded to the ends of these components. Mounting holes are then drilled in the first transverse plate 21. Mounting holes are not drilled in the second transverse plate 23 because self-tapping screws are installed therein by threaded fitting, and during the actual installation operation, the installation position is uncertain. The provision of mounting holes facilitates the installation of self-tapping screws.
[0028] During installation, the connector 2 is first properly adjusted based on the actual installation conditions. The connector 2 is then secured to the designated location of the longitudinal beam 1, which is a rectangular tube, using self-tapping screws. The mounting ears 31 of the ceiling panels 3 are then attached to the connector 2 using self-tapping screws. After installation, filler strips are inserted into the gaps between adjacent ceiling panels 3.
[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
