Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceiling structure technology, specifically an arc-shaped ceiling structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, traditional curved ceiling lighting methods mainly involve directly installing light fixtures using pendant rings or bases, or splicing recessed light fixtures or light strips.

[0003] While installing light fixtures directly using pendant rings or bases is simple and convenient, exposing the light source directly to the ceiling lacks aesthetic appeal and can easily disrupt the internal spatial layout of the ceiling. Recessed installation requires drilling holes in the ceiling panel, which is inconvenient for curved ceilings due to their curved structure, and drilling can also affect structural stability and overall integrity. LED strip lighting is another option, offering more flexible lighting effects, but after bending, deformation, or prolonged use, individual LEDs within the strips are prone to damage, reducing uniformity of illumination, lacking aesthetic appeal, and making installation, disassembly, and maintenance cumbersome. Furthermore, regardless of whether it's recessed lighting or LED strip lighting, the light source is exposed, and direct light can cause glare, affecting visual comfort.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simple, easy-to-install, aesthetically pleasing, and concealed-light arched ceiling structure that effectively avoids glare. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model proposes an arc-shaped ceiling structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An arched ceiling structure includes a keel, below which are connected a plurality of staggered arched decorative panels and a light-guiding lighting structure. Each arched decorative panel has connecting plates at both ends, and each end of the arched decorative panel is connected to a corresponding connecting plate. The connecting plate is an upward-opening U-shaped groove, with its upper recess forming a concealed light groove containing a light fixture. The end of the light-guiding lighting structure is fixedly connected to the light fixture. The arched decorative panels and the connecting plates are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0008] Preferably, the keel is provided with a plurality of lifting rods and a plurality of support rods, and the arc-shaped decorative panels are all fixedly connected to the keel via the support rods. The light guide lighting structure is vertically and dynamically connected to the keel via the lifting rods. The support rods are fixedly connected to the keel by bolts.

[0009] Preferably, each of the lifting rods is equipped with an electric slide rail on the keel above it, and each electric slide rail is provided with a slider, which is connected and installed to the top of the corresponding lifting rod.

[0010] Preferably, the light guide lighting structure includes a light guide cover, within which a light guide strip is connected. The light guide strip is a flexible light guide strip, but can also be a light guide strip or light guide column of different shapes, etc., without being limited to a single type, to facilitate installation on ceilings of different shapes. The light guide cover is an arc-shaped accordion cover, which can be deformed into different shapes in conjunction with the light guide strip. The concave surface of the light guide cover faces downwards, and a reflective film is provided on the concave surface of the light guide cover. A hanging ring is provided at the top of the light guide strip, and the lower end of the lifting rod is connected to the hanging ring. By reflecting the light from the light guide strip through the reflective film at the bottom of the light guide cover, the light originally emitted from the sides and top of the light guide strip is reflected to the bottom surface of the light guide strip, improving the lighting effect of the light guide strip on the lower part of the ceiling.

[0011] Preferably, the light guide strip is a flexible, side-emitting light guide strip, but it can also be a light guide column or light guide plate of different shapes. It is not limited to any one shape. The shape and position of the light guide strip can be adjusted by electric slide rails and lifting rods, and it is suitable for decorative panels of different shapes.

[0012] Preferably, the recessed light trough is equipped with a corner bracket, and the lamp is rotatably connected to the corner bracket. The end of the light guide strip is connected to the lamp. The lamp is an LED lamp, and the lamp and the light guide strip are coupled together. Utilizing the high light conductivity of the light guide strip, the point light source of the lamp is refracted to form a surface light source that diffuses through the light guide strip. This improves the utilization rate and coverage of the light, while reducing the light intensity and preventing glare from direct light shining into the eyes. The LED lamp provides uniform illumination to the entire light guide strip, so in case of failure, only the lamp needs to be replaced. The lighting effect is uniform and easy to maintain.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention uses an upward-opening U-shaped connecting plate to form a concealed light trough, hiding the light fixture and preventing it from being directly exposed. A light guide strip refracts and guides the light emitted by the fixture downwards, transforming the point light source into a surface light source that diffuses through the sides of the light guide strip. The reflective film of the light guide cover reflects the light from the top and sides of the light guide strip, improving the utilization rate and coverage of the illumination while preventing glare from direct light. This structure is easy to install, requiring no drilling into the curved ceiling, effectively avoiding damage to the ceiling structure and preserving its integrity. The light fixture uniformly refracts light through the light guide strip, resulting in high illumination uniformity, and also facilitates maintenance and replacement.

[0015] Angle brackets are installed in the recessed light trough to connect with the light fixtures. With the help of electric slide rails and lifting rods, the shape and position of the light guide strip can be changed, making it easy to adapt to the installation of ceilings of different shapes. It can also adapt to some deformable irregular ceilings. Since the light is refracted by the light fixtures, the deformation of the light guide strips will not cause damage to the light fixtures, effectively preventing the risk of damage to traditional light strips and LED beads.
