Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the ceiling 2 and the opposite sides of the ceiling installation opening are respectively fixed with base material 8 and light steel keel 9. The outer layer of the light steel keel 9 is respectively provided with base material 8 and decorative surface layer 10. In order to solve the connection problem between the equipment and the ceiling system structure, this embodiment provides a connection device for connecting the heater 1 and the ceiling 2, including embedded installation frame 3, two metal square tubes 4 and metal plates 5 corresponding to the metal square tubes.
[0026] Each metal plate 5 has a corresponding metal square tube 4 fixed to one side bottom by a first self-tapping screw 6 with a length of 20mm. The two metal plates 5 are respectively fixed to the corresponding base material 8 by passing through the second self-tapping screw 7 with a length of 35mm and then to the corresponding light steel keel 9. Each metal square tube 4 is located between the base material 8 of the outer layer of the light steel keel 9 and the inner side of the decorative surface layer 10.
[0027] The embedded mounting frame 3 is equipped with a heater 1 and is fixed by a limiting screw 11. The heater 1 is placed in the ceiling mounting opening and the embedded mounting frame 3 is fixed to the metal square tube 4 by screws 12. Each metal square tube 4 is sealed to the inner side of the corresponding decorative surface layer 10 by a sealing material 13. The embedded mounting frame 3 is flush with the decorative surface layer 10.
[0028] In addition, the connecting device also includes a fall protection safety rope, which is not shown in the figure. One end of the fall protection safety rope is shackled and connected to the ring bolt reserved on the light steel keel 9, and the other end is shackled and connected to the safety attachment point of the heater 1.
[0029] The heater 1, model Re-verber Ray (SW-33), is a finished heating device. The embedded mounting frame 3 is an accessory for the finished heating device, used to install it.
