[0027] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 The utility model discloses a heat preservation and noise reduction board which comprises a board body 1 and a connecting piece 2. The board body 1 comprises a bearing layer 11, a functional layer 12 and a support layer 13 which are sequentially stacked and connected with each other. The functional layer 12 is used for blocking the transmission of heat and sound. The connecting piece 2 comprises a connecting rib 21 and a structural rib 22. The connecting rib 21 is parallel to the board body 1 and is used for connecting with a beam structure 3 at the top of the layer. The structural rib 22 is connected between the connecting rib 21 and the bearing layer 11 of the board body 1.

[0029] The prefabricated heat preservation and noise reduction board is connected with the cross beam through the connecting piece 2, thereby forming a structure with heat preservation and noise reduction effects at the top of the layer. This helps to speed up the efficiency of heat preservation and noise reduction processing, simplify the process and thus reduce the construction period of the house. The bearing layer 11 is connected with the connecting piece 2, and the functional layer 12 is connected between the bearing layer 11 and the support layer 13. This helps to reinforce the structure and reduce the risk of damage to the functional layer 12 or collapse at the top.

[0030] In some embodiments, the structural rib 22 comprises longitudinally extending portions 221 and transversely extending portions 222 which are connected with each other and arranged at intervals. The longitudinally extending portions 221 extend along the surface of the board body 1 perpendicularly and form an acute angle with the board body 1. The longitudinally extending portions 221 are connected between the connecting rib 21 and the bearing layer 11 of the board body 1, and the transversely extending portions 222 are connected to the surface of the bearing layer 11 of the board body 1 and are configured in the shape of an acute angle with both ends connected to one longitudinally extending portion 221. The transversely extending portions 222 connected to the longitudinally extending portions 221 and fixedly connected to the board body 1 are supported on the connecting rib 21, thereby fixing the connecting rib 21 and the board body 1. Since the connecting rib 21 is connected to the beam structure 3, the board body 1 is supported on the beam structure 3 through the connecting rib 21, thereby achieving the fixation of the board body 1.

[0031] In some embodiments, the two adjacent transversely extending portions 222 are oppositely directed, which helps to balance the stress on the board body 1 and the structural rib 22 and improve the load bearing capacity of the structural rib 22 on the board body 1.

[0033] In some embodiments, the plate body 1 further comprises fasteners 14, which sequentially pass through the load-bearing layer 11, the functional layer 12 and the support layer 13 of the plate body 1, so that the support layer 13 is connected to the load-bearing layer 11. By means of the fasteners 14, the rigid support layer 13 is connected to the load-bearing layer 11, thereby supporting the structure of the functional layer 12 with lower strength, which helps to reduce the risk of collapse.

[0034] In some embodiments, the heat-insulating and noise-reducing plate further comprises a reinforcing member 6, which comprises two pads 61 and a connecting piece 62 connected between the two pads 61, the two pads 61 are arranged on the surface of the load-bearing layer 11 of the plate body 1 and are respectively connected to the two fasteners 14, and the connecting piece 62 bypasses any position of the horizontal surface portion 222, and the reinforcing member 6 is used to clamp the horizontal surface portion 222 between the connecting piece 62 and the plate body 1. By means of the reinforcing member 6, the connecting strength between the structural rib 22 and the plate body 1 is improved, and the support plate is indirectly connected to the structural rib 22, which further reduces the risk of collapse.

[0035] In some embodiments, the load-bearing layer 11 is a micro-rib profiled steel plate, which has high strength and anti-deformation ability, and is light in weight and flat in edge, facilitating the assembly of multiple heat-insulating and noise-reducing plates. The functional layer 12 is a glass wool plate, which is light in weight and has high heat-insulating and noise-reducing ability. The support layer 13 is a fiber cement plate, which meets the fire safety requirements, has the characteristics of heat insulation and sound absorption, and has good fireproof insulation performance and structural strength, which helps to protect the functional layer 12 and facilitates the decoration of the indoor ceiling.

[0036] In some embodiments, the thickness ratio of the load-bearing layer 11, the functional layer 12 and the support layer 13 is any value in the range of 1:30-50:10-20, for example, any value in the range of 1:30:10, 1:35:15, 1:40:10, 1:45:20 and 1:50:20. This helps to reduce the weight and improve the structural strength while maintaining sufficient heat-insulating and noise-reducing ability.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 The utility model further applies to a ceiling structure, which comprises the heat-insulating and noise-reducing plate and the beam structure 3, multiple heat-insulating and noise-reducing plates are arranged in an array along the first direction and the second direction, the first direction is parallel to the connecting rib 21, the connecting ribs 21 of the heat-insulating and noise-reducing plates adjacent along the first direction are connected through the overlapping rib 4, the connecting ribs 21 of the heat-insulating and noise-reducing plates arranged along the second direction are all connected to the series connecting rib 5, the series connecting rib 5 is parallel to the second direction and is connected to the beam structure 3, and the connecting member 2, the overlapping rib 4, the series connecting rib 5 and the beam structure 3 of the heat-insulating and noise-reducing plate are jointly cast into a reinforced concrete structure.

[0038] The beam and the connecting piece 2 are integrally cast as a reinforced concrete structure, the adhesion of the concrete improves the load bearing capacity of the concrete structure to the plate body 1, and helps to fully utilize the structural stiffness of the connecting piece 2, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the layer top structure and saving materials. The construction of the layer top structure is carried out through the modular construction process of the prefabricated plate, which helps to reduce the construction period of the layer top structure with the functions of heat preservation and noise reduction, saves time and material cost, simplifies the process, and reduces the construction process difficulty.

[0039] In some embodiments, the partial heat preservation and noise reduction plate is configured in a rectangular shape, and the partial heat preservation and noise reduction plate is configured to match the shape of the beam structure 3, which helps to improve the construction efficiency and facilitate the improvement of the splicing precision.

[0045] The connecting member 2 comprises a connecting rib 21, a reinforcing rib 23 and a structural rib 22. The connecting rib 21 and the reinforcing rib 23 are parallel to the extending direction of the slab body 1, and both ends are flush with the slab body 1. The connecting rib 21 and the reinforcing rib 23 are arranged above the center line of the slab body 1, and the reinforcing rib 23 is arranged between the connecting rib 21 and the slab body 1. The structural rib 22 is formed by a whole steel bar, comprising a longitudinal face part 221 and a transverse face part 222 which are connected and arranged at intervals. One end of the structural rib 22 is welded to the connecting rib 21 near the end, and extends towards the center line of the slab body 1, forming a longitudinal face part 221 extending perpendicular to the face of the slab body 1.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 2 , a plurality of heat insulation and noise reduction plates are arranged in an array along a first direction parallel to the connecting rib 21 and a second direction perpendicular to the connecting rib 21.
