Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ceiling construction technology, specifically relating to a ceiling equipment belt. Background Technology

[0002] In real life, when shops are being renovated, most store ceilings usually need to be fitted with several light fixtures, sprinkler heads, surveillance cameras, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to reserve some holes for installing equipment in advance during the renovation. However, after a long period of wear and tear, cracks will appear on the top of the ceiling, which will need to be repaired. The most common method in reality is to repaint. However, this method may result in the paint color not matching the surrounding color, affecting the aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above problems by providing a ceiling-mounted equipment belt. The mounting plate is pre-drilled according to the equipment, and no ceiling joists need to be broken during installation. The equipment belt is fixed to the top plasterboard and joists with screws. Hanging parts are also provided and fixed to the floor slab with threaded rods, which plays a secondary reinforcement role. This ensures both the structural stability of the ceiling joists and the stability of the equipment belt.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a ceiling-mounted equipment belt with two structural forms, including an installation plate that makes up the main body of the equipment belt. One structural form is as follows: the upper surface of the installation plate has a groove, which divides the installation plate into two parts: a middle inner plate and an outer ring of burrs. The upper surface of the inner plate has several holes, the upper surface of the burrs is a flat or textured surface, the bottom surface of the installation plate has a track groove, and the intersection of the burrs and the outer side of the groove is a slope or a vertical plane.

[0005] Another structural form is as follows: the upper surface of the mounting plate has a groove that divides the mounting plate into two parts: a middle inner plate and an outer ring of flash. The middle inner plate has a recessed design with a depth not exceeding 80mm. The inner plate has several holes. The upper surface of the flash is set as a flat or textured surface. The bottom surface of the inner plate has a track groove. The intersection of the flash and the outer side of the groove is set as a bevel or a vertical plane.

[0006] The hanging component includes aluminum plates arranged on the left, right, and top sides and welded together. Flat plates are welded to the bottom of the aluminum plates on the left and right sides. A round hole for installing a lead screw is opened on the aluminum plate on the top side. The lead screw is fixed to the floor slab at the top of the ceiling by passing through the round hole with a nut and washer.

[0007] Furthermore: the track groove is used to install the hanging component, and the flat plate of the hanging component is located in the track groove.

[0008] Furthermore: the width of the flash is set within 80mm, and when a textured surface is provided on the upper surface of the flash, the shape of the textured surface includes regular textured surfaces and irregular textured surfaces.

[0009] Furthermore, the width of the inner panel is set within 180mm.

[0010] Furthermore: the mounting plate is made entirely of aluminum and is shaped as either "capsule" or "square". When it is "capsule", the rounded ends are made of aluminum sheet through laser cutting and embossing, and are fully laser welded to the square part in the middle. When it is "square", the rounded ends are not required.

[0011] Furthermore, the holes on the inner plate are created using laser CNC machining.

[0012] Furthermore, the burr edge is also provided with threaded holes for fixing to the keel on the ceiling.

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. However, the embodiments described are only for illustration and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1 The aforementioned ceiling-mounted equipment strip has an aluminum mounting plate 1 as its main body, and its overall shape is either "capsule-shaped" or "square-shaped". When it is designed as a "capsule-shaped", both ends are designed as arcs. The arcs at both ends are formed by laser cutting and embossing of aluminum plates and are fixedly connected to the square part in the middle by laser full welding. When the mounting plate is "square", the arcs at both ends are not required.

[0025] like Figure 2 The diagram shows a structural form of a ceiling-mounted device. This type of structure is mainly used in experience stores and smart living centers, such as smart home experience centers and 4S stores. The mounting plate 1 has a groove 4 on its upper surface, which divides the mounting plate 1 into two parts: an inner plate 3 in the middle and a finial 2 on the outer ring. The finial 2 is designed to be recessed by no more than 3mm from the inner plate 3. The thickness of the finial 2 is set within 2.5mm, and the width is set within 80mm. The width of the inner plate does not exceed 180mm. The upper surface of the inner plate 3 has several holes. The upper surface of the finial 2 can be flat or textured. The bottom surface, i.e., the back surface, of the mounting plate 1 has a track groove 5. The intersection of the finial 2 and the outer side of the groove 4 can be a slope or a vertical plane.

[0026] like Figure 3The diagram shows another structural form of the ceiling-mounted equipment strip: This structure is mainly used in small experience stores, such as mobile phone stores and small home appliance experience stores. The mounting plate 1 still has a groove 4 on its upper surface, which divides the mounting plate 1 into two parts: the inner plate 3 in the middle and the outer edge 2. The difference is that the inner plate 2 in the middle is recessed, and the recess depth does not exceed 80mm. The inner plate 3 has several holes. The upper surface of the edge 2 can be set as a flat surface or a textured surface. The bottom surface of the inner plate 3 has a track groove 5. The intersection of the edge 2 and the outer side of the groove 4 can be set as a slope or a vertical plane.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the hanging component includes aluminum plates 6 arranged on the left, right and top sides and welded together. Flat plates 7 are welded to the bottom of the aluminum plates 6 on the left and right sides. The aluminum plate 6 on the top side has a round hole 8 for installing a screw rod. The screw rod is fixed to the floor slab at the top of the ceiling by passing through the round hole 8 through a nut and washer.

[0028] The track groove 5 is used to install the hanging component. The hanging component is fixed to the floor slab at the top of the ceiling by a screw rod. The hanging component and the track groove 5 can be movably connected or fixedly connected. The movably connected means that the hanging component is snapped into the track groove 5 along the track groove; the fixedly connected means that the hanging component is welded to the track groove 5 or fixed to the track groove 5 with screws.

[0029] The burr 2 is also provided with screw holes, with a screw hole opening of 6mm. After hoisting, countersunk screws are used to fix it to the plasterboard and keel at the top of the ceiling through the screw holes.

[0030] Preferred option: When the burr is designed as a textured surface, the textured surface can be either a regular textured surface or an irregular textured surface. The purpose of setting the burr surface as a textured surface is to make the grip of the contact surface stronger and more stable during the process of applying putty, latex paint, caulking tape, and mesh bags after the equipment belt is installed.

[0031] Regular textures include, but are not limited to, straight lines (wood grain, stripes), curved lines (cloud patterns, water ripples), geometric shapes (triangles, squares, circles), grid patterns, dotted patterns, spiral patterns, and radial patterns;

[0032] Irregular textures include, but are not limited to, natural (tree rings, stone patterns), broken (cracking patterns, ice cracks, ceramic cracks), flowing (magma flow), mottled (rust, mold), random (splatter), organic (imitating the morphology of biological tissues), and weathered (textures formed by natural weathering).

[0033] Preferably, holes can be made on the surface of the flash, or no holes can be made. When making holes, laser CNC is used. The shape of the holes is not limited to square, but can also be other shapes such as round holes, elliptical holes, rhomboid holes, polygonal holes or irregular holes.

[0034] Preferably, the holes on the inner plate in the middle are laser CNC machined, including but not limited to embedded LED spotlight holes, emergency lighting holes, emergency broadcast ports, background music ports, embedded smoke detector holes, customer flow counter holes, monitoring hemispherical holes, sprinkler and air conditioning vents. The specific dimensions of the above holes and air conditioning vents are determined according to the actual situation of the store, and a suitable manufacturer is selected to meet the required dimensions.

[0035] Preferably, the track groove at the bottom of the mounting plate can be replaced with a steel plate, and the flat plates at the bottom of the left and right aluminum plates are removed from the structure of the hanging component. The hanging component is fixed to the steel plate by screws or welding and grinding, and the mounting plate, steel plate and hanging component are fixed into a whole structure. Example

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the holes are made according to the store's situation. The sprinkler holes are made according to the site dimensions. Other holes such as lighting holes, monitoring holes, broadcast and music holes are made by the manufacturer. The holes made on the inner panel in the middle are for installing embedded LED spotlights, emergency lighting, emergency broadcasts, background music, embedded smoke detectors, customer flow counters, monitoring hemispheres, sprinkler outlets, and air vents (some stores do not need air vents, so there is no need to reserve air vents in advance). The hole diameter of the spotlights and emergency lights is determined according to the actual situation of the store, and a suitable manufacturer is selected to meet the required size.

[0037] In this embodiment, the embedded LED spotlight has an inner diameter of 97mm and an inner size of 90mm. The emergency broadcast and background music are the same size. The hole is 2mm in diameter, 169mm long and 60mm wide. The sound transmission holes are evenly distributed at 15mm intervals. The smoke detector hole has a diameter of 103mm, the passenger flow counter hole has a diameter of 55mm, the monitoring hemispherical hole has a diameter of 86mm, the sprinkler hole has a diameter of 40mm, and the air vent has a length and width of 1200mm × 130mm.

[0038] Several square holes are evenly spaced on the textured surface. During installation, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the hanging components are pre-installed in the track groove. The entire equipment belt is lifted by the suspension rods, positioned, and then fixed to the ceiling plasterboard and keel with screws. The hanging components are also fixed to the floor slab with threaded rods, providing secondary reinforcement and making the equipment belt installation more stable, preventing it from falling and avoiding potential risks. After installation, paint is applied.

[0039] The paint on the equipment belt is applied using solid powder coating or baking paint process.

[0040] Latex paint application process:

[0041] According to the painter's habits, the two sides of the equipment belt are first protected with masking tape to avoid contamination during subsequent paint application and to avoid cleaning troubles. Then the formal paint base process is carried out: latex paint → caulking tape → latex paint → two layers of mesh bag.

[0042] All content not described in detail in this utility model is prior art.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. Whether or not holes are opened on the textured surface, or the shape of the holes when they are opened, as well as the design regarding the plane, are all within the protection scope of this utility model, and are not limited to those described in the specification and embodiments. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features, and principles described in the claims of this utility model should be included within the scope of this utility model patent application.
