Method used

The system employs a combination structure consisting of guide rails, a first sealing strip, a second sealing strip, a movable bracket, a fixed bracket, and a fixing component. The first section, the second section, and the extension section are connected sequentially through corner joints, increasing the flexible ceiling's movement space. The fixing component enhances the sealing performance and prevents the sealing strip from shifting or falling off.
