Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of integrated ceiling systems, specifically to a linear electrical assembly structure. Background Technology
[0002] The existing linear electrical appliance assembly structure includes a decorative panel and linear electrical appliances. The decorative panels are flatly assembled to form a decorative surface. The linear electrical appliances include a housing and an electrical panel located below the housing. The electrical panel has elongated through holes, and the air inlet and outlet at the bottom of the housing are connected to the indoor space through these through holes. Due to the large size of the housing, the width of the bottom surface of the housing is greater than the width of the electrical panel, making it impossible to disassemble and maintain the housing through the channel formed by removing the electrical panel. Especially when used with plasterboard, a pre-cut maintenance channel needs to be reserved, which increases the assembly difficulty, affects assembly efficiency, increases maintenance difficulty, and impacts the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a direct-mount linear electrical assembly structure with a rectangular housing. This facilitates disassembly and maintenance through the disassembly and assembly channels, eliminating the need for additional inspection channels. Furthermore, the exposed through-holes forming the disassembly and assembly channels ensure a superior user experience.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following method: a direct-mount linear electrical appliance assembly structure, including a decorative panel and a linear electrical appliance. The linear electrical appliance includes a housing and an air duct assembly and a fan assembly disposed within the housing. The decorative panel has a through hole for exposing the bottom wall of the housing. The housing is cuboid in shape, and an air inlet and an air outlet are formed on the bottom surface of the housing. The housing can be vertically inserted into the through hole, with the air inlet and air outlet exposed through the through hole, so that the through hole forms a disassembly and assembly channel for direct insertion and removal of the linear electrical appliance. The cuboid housing, with its vertical projection coinciding with the periphery of the through hole, not only utilizes the through hole to form a convenient disassembly and assembly channel for inserting and removing the housing, facilitating maintenance of the linear electrical appliance through direct disassembly and assembly, especially on gypsum board ceilings, eliminating the need for additional maintenance channels, effectively simplifying the ceiling structure and reducing construction difficulty, but also ensures that the bottom surface of the housing can be exposed through the through hole, thereby facilitating the connection between the air inlet and air outlet and the indoor space, driving the airflow and effectively improving the user experience.
[0005] Preferably, the bottom surface of the housing is elongated and has the same outline as the through hole, so that the bottom surface of the housing is flush with the periphery of the through hole after installation. The elongated housing has a smaller width, so that the outline of the through hole is also elongated and narrower. This reduces the area of the through hole on the decorative surface, thereby improving aesthetics, and also increases the length of the through hole to meet the area requirements of the air inlet and outlet, thus improving airflow efficiency.
[0006] Preferably, the widths of the air outlet and air inlet match the width of the bottom surface of the housing to increase their area. The air outlet and air inlet are both positioned on the same straight line, effectively increasing the distance between them and limiting the width of the bottom surface of the housing, thus creating a linear electrical appliance that is easy to assemble.
[0007] Preferably, the periphery contours of each horizontal section of the housing are the same, so that the housing can pass vertically through the through hole and the vertical projection of the housing falls completely into the through hole, ensuring that the housing can be plugged in and disassembled by passing through the through hole without the need to set up an additional maintenance channel.
[0008] Preferably, the fan assembly includes a first fan and a second fan disposed at opposite ends of the housing. The duct assembly includes a first duct connected to the outlet of the first fan and a second duct connected to the outlet of the second fan. The outlets of the first and second ducts are exposed in the middle section of the bottom surface of the housing, forming the air outlet. The first fan works in conjunction with the first duct, and the second fan works in conjunction with the second duct. The two sets of fans and ducts can achieve different functions, enabling the linear appliance to have multiple functions and effectively improving the user experience. The first fan, first duct, second fan, and second duct are arranged on the same straight line, which effectively utilizes the space along the length of the housing and reduces the width of the bottom surface of the housing, thereby improving aesthetics by reducing the width of the through holes.
[0009] Preferably, there are two air inlets located at both ends of the bottom surface of the housing, and the inlets of the first and second fans are connected to the indoor space through corresponding air inlets. The first and second fans are respectively located at both ends of the housing, and by increasing the distance between the air inlets, the range of indoor air extraction by the linear electric motor is increased, thereby improving the indoor air flow efficiency.
[0010] Preferably, a first heating element is connected in series between the first fan and the first air duct. The first fan draws in indoor air and, after flowing through the first heating element, forms hot air that is introduced into the indoor space through the first air duct. The first fan is used to draw in indoor air and, after heating, return it to the indoor space for internal circulation.
[0011] Preferably, a switching valve with an external exhaust port is provided between the second fan and the second duct. This switching valve can switch between an inward flow state connecting the second fan and the second duct, and an outward flow state connecting the second fan and the external exhaust port. With the switching valve between the second fan and the second duct, when the valve is switched to the inward flow state, the second fan draws indoor air and delivers it into the room through the second duct for internal circulation. When the valve is switched to the outward flow state, the second fan draws indoor air and delivers it to the outdoor space through the external exhaust port for external exhaust.
[0012] Preferably, the exhaust port is located on the side wall of the housing, and the exhaust port is connected to the outdoor space via a pipe. The exhaust port is connected to the outdoor space via a detachable pipe, which not only ensures that indoor air can be smoothly discharged, but also allows the housing to obtain a flat side wall by disassembling the pipe, thereby facilitating insertion and removal through the disassembly channel.
[0013] Preferably, a second heating element is connected in series between the switching valve and the second air duct. When the switching valve switches to the internal flow state, the second fan draws in indoor air, which then flows through the second heating element to form hot air that enters the indoor space through the second air duct. By setting the second heating element to heat the airflow flowing through the second air duct, the indoor space temperature is increased.
[0014] Preferably, the switching valve includes a valve with a rotating shaft, which is vertically positioned. With the shaft vertically positioned and the motor driving the valve located above it, the height of the housing is effectively utilized. This not only limits the width of the through-hole by reducing the width of the housing but also effectively increases the valve area, thereby improving airflow.
[0015] Preferably, the shafts of the first and second fans are arranged along the width direction of the bottom surface of the housing to reduce the width of the housing. The volutes of the first and second fans extend radially along the length direction of the housing, effectively utilizing the length of the housing to increase the volume of the volutes, thereby increasing the airflow rate.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The rectangular shell is designed so that its vertical projection coincides with the periphery of the through hole. This not only allows for easy insertion and removal of the shell through the through hole, facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of linear electrical appliances, but also eliminates the need for additional maintenance channels on gypsum board ceilings, effectively simplifying the ceiling structure and reducing construction difficulty. Furthermore, it ensures that the bottom surface of the shell can be exposed through the through hole, facilitating the connection between the air inlet and outlet and the indoor space, thereby driving the flow of indoor air and effectively improving the user experience.

[0022] The essential features of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figure 1 and 2 The illustrated direct-mount linear electrical appliance assembly structure comprises a decorative panel and linear electrical appliances. The linear electrical appliances include a housing 1 and an air duct assembly and a fan assembly disposed within the housing 1. The decorative panel has a through-hole exposing the bottom wall of the housing 1. The housing 1 is cuboid in shape, with an air inlet 2 and an air outlet 3 on its bottom surface. The housing 1 can be vertically inserted into the through-hole, with the air outlet 3 and air inlet 2 exposed through the through-hole, thus forming a direct-mount and disassembly channel for the linear electrical appliances. The cuboid housing 1, with its vertical projection coinciding with the periphery of the through-hole, facilitates easy insertion and removal of the housing 1, allowing for convenient disassembly and maintenance of the linear electrical appliances. Especially on gypsum board ceilings, this eliminates the need for additional maintenance access, effectively simplifying the ceiling structure and reducing construction difficulty. Furthermore, it ensures that the bottom surface of the housing 1 is exposed through the through-hole, facilitating communication between the air inlet 2 and air outlet 3 and the indoor space, thus driving airflow and improving the user experience.
[0024] In practice, the decorative panel is square, and prime decorative panels are spliced together to form a complete decorative surface covering the ceiling. The decorative panel can be made of various materials and structures, including but not limited to aluminum plates, honeycomb panels, and gypsum boards. Aluminum plates and honeycomb panels can have gaps reserved during splicing to form the through holes. Gypsum boards can have through holes formed by splicing gaps or by cutting holes, so as to form a disassembly channel for inserting and removing the housing 1. All of these should be considered as specific embodiments of this utility model.
[0025] In practice, the housing 1 is cubic in shape, with a long, narrow bottom surface that shares the same contour as the through hole. During installation, the housing 1 passes through the disassembly channel from bottom to top, ensuring that its bottom surface is flush with the perimeter of the through hole after installation. This effectively improves the flatness of the decorative surface and enhances the decorative effect. After installation, the housing 1 is fixed to the adjacent decorative panel via connectors, eliminating the need for structures such as triangular keels and significantly improving the user experience.
[0026] In actual operation, the periphery contours of each horizontal section of the housing 1 are the same, so that the housing 1 can pass through the through hole vertically. This ensures that the side wall of the housing 1 matches and connects with the periphery of the through hole, improving aesthetics by reducing gaps. It also ensures that the housing 1 can be plugged in and disassembled through the through hole without the need for additional space for maintenance channels.
[0027] In actual operation, the widths of the air outlet 3 and air inlet 2 are matched with the width of the bottom surface of the housing 1 to increase the area of the air outlet 3 and air inlet 2. The fan assembly includes a first fan 4 and a second fan 5 disposed at both ends of the housing 1. The duct assembly includes a first duct 6 connected to the outlet of the first fan 4 and a second duct 7 connected to the outlet of the second fan 5. The outlets of the first duct 6 and the second duct 7 are exposed in the middle section of the bottom surface of the housing 1 and form the air outlet 3. There are two air inlets 2, disposed at both ends of the bottom surface of the housing 1. The inlets of the first fan 4 and the second fan 5 communicate with the indoor space through the corresponding air inlets 2. Both the air outlet 3 and the air inlet 2 are two in number and are laid along the length of the bottom surface of the housing 1. The air outlet 3 is located in the middle of the bottom surface of the housing 1 and is close together. The air inlets 2 are located at both ends of the bottom surface of the housing 1. This can improve the airflow effect by increasing the distance between the air inlets 2 and the air outlet 3, and prevent the airflow from being immediately drawn away by the air inlets 2 after flowing out of the air outlet 3. Increasing the distance between the air inlets 2 can also increase the range of operation of the linear electrical appliances in the indoor space, thereby improving the air flow efficiency of the indoor space.
[0028] In actual operation, a first heating element 9 is connected in series between the first fan 4 and the first air duct 6. The first fan 4 draws in indoor air and, after flowing through the first heating element 9, forms hot air that is introduced into the indoor space through the first air duct 6. The first heating element 9 heats the airflow flowing through the first air duct 6, so that the airflow forms hot air and raises the temperature of the indoor space.
[0029] In actual operation, the first air duct 6 and the second air duct 7 are equipped with guide vanes (such as...). Figure 3 As shown in the figure, it is used to guide the airflow direction and ensure that the airflow can be delivered to the indoor space in a preset direction.
[0030] In actual operation, a switching valve 8 with an external discharge port 11 is provided between the second fan 5 and the second air duct 7. The switching valve 8 can switch between the internal flow state connecting the second fan 5 and the second air duct 7 and the external flow state connecting the second fan 5 and the external discharge port 11.
[0031] When the switching valve 8 is switched to the internal flow state, the second fan 5 is connected to the second air duct 7 through the switching valve 8, so that the indoor air can circulate in the room.
[0032] When the switching valve 8 is switched to the outflow state, the second fan 5 is connected to the exhaust port 11 through the switching valve 8, so that the indoor air is discharged to the outdoor space through the exhaust port 11. By creating negative pressure in the indoor space, outdoor air is drawn in to obtain fresh air and improve the indoor air quality.
[0033] In actual operation, the external exhaust port 11 is located on the side wall of the housing 1. The external exhaust port 11 is connected to the outdoor space through a pipe. The external exhaust port 11 can be pre-connected to the pipe before insertion through the through hole, and ensures that the housing 1 is still connected to the pipe through the external exhaust port 11 after installation, ensuring smooth exhaust of indoor air. The pipe is a flexible hose, and the side wall of the housing 1 is provided with a recess for embedding and hiding the pipe, ensuring that the pipe can fit snugly against the side wall of the housing 1 and pass through the disassembly and assembly channel simultaneously.
[0034] In actual operation, a second heating element 10 is connected in series between the switching valve 8 and the second air duct 7. When the switching valve 8 switches to the internal flow state, the second fan 5 draws in indoor air and, after flowing through the second heating element 10, forms hot air that enters the indoor space through the second air duct 7. The second heating element 10 and the first heating element 9 work together to enable the linear electrical appliances to operate at differentiated power, which not only meets the usage requirements but also improves energy-saving effects.
[0035] In actual operation, the switching valve 8 is equipped with a valve 12 with a rotating shaft (e.g., Figure 4 As shown, the rotating shaft is arranged vertically, which not only effectively reduces the width of the switching valve 8, making it easier to install into the housing 1, but also effectively utilizes the width of the housing 1 to increase the flow rate of the switching valve 8 by increasing the width of the valve 12, thereby improving the airflow efficiency.
[0036] In actual operation, the shafts of the first fan 4 and the second fan 5 are arranged along the width direction of the bottom surface of the housing 1 to reduce the width of the housing 1. The volute is vertically arranged at the end of the housing 1. By reducing the axial dimension of the volute, the thickness requirement of the housing 1 is reduced, and by utilizing the length of the housing 1, the diameter of the volute is increased, thereby meeting the airflow requirements.
