Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of suspended ceilings, specifically to a keel assembly and its assembly structure. Background Technology
[0002] Existing ceiling decorative panels require installation via brackets, and the bracket dimensions need to be customized on-site according to the dimensions of the indoor ceiling. After assembly, the clamps are located in fixed positions and provide installation positions for the decorative panels. The brackets need to be measured, cut, and assembled on-site, and when the existing clamp positions cannot meet the installation requirements, the brackets need to be reprocessed, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and affects the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a keel assembly and its assembly structure, which uses interconnected vertical, horizontal, and longitudinal components to adjust the clamping joint vertically, horizontally, and longitudinally. This allows the clamping joint position to be freely adjusted within a preset space and facilitates the installation of decorative panels, effectively improving assembly efficiency and enabling convenient adjustment of the clamping joint position, thus enhancing the user experience.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following method: a keel assembly includes vertical members, horizontal members, and longitudinal members connected sequentially from top to bottom. The longitudinal members have a clamping opening at their bottom. Adjacent vertical and horizontal members, as well as horizontal and longitudinal members, are perpendicular to each other and can move relative to each other, allowing the clamping opening position to be freely adjusted within a preset space. By using the series of vertical, horizontal, and longitudinal members to adjust the clamping opening position, the clamping opening can be adjusted vertically, horizontally, and vertically respectively, allowing the clamping opening position to be freely adjusted within a preset space and facilitating the installation of decorative panels. This effectively improves assembly efficiency and facilitates free adjustment of the clamping opening position, enhancing the user experience.
[0005] Preferably, the vertical, horizontal, and longitudinal members are all elongated strips. The top of the vertical member is fixed to the installation position. The horizontal member can move vertically along the vertical member and is fixedly connected. The longitudinal member can move horizontally along the horizontal member and is fixedly connected, allowing the relative position between the clamp and the installation position to be freely adjusted. With the installation position fixed, the clamp position is adjusted by changing the relative positions of the vertical, horizontal, and longitudinal members. This ensures that the keel assembly is always fixed to the installation position while also allowing the clamp position to be freely adjusted according to the installation requirements of the decorative panel. The keel assembly is connected to the ceiling via the vertical member, effectively reducing the contact area between the keel assembly and the ceiling, thus avoiding installation problems caused by uneven ceilings.
[0006] Preferably, the vertical component and the horizontal component are connected by a first assembly. The top of the first assembly has a vertical channel for the vertical component to pass through and adjust vertically, and the bottom of the first assembly has a horizontal channel for the horizontal component to pass through and adjust horizontally. This allows the vertical and horizontal components to be connected via the first assembly and allows for vertical and horizontal adjustment of the clamp position. The vertical channel guides the vertical component through and adjusts the first assembly vertically, while the horizontal channel guides the horizontal component and supports it, ensuring that the horizontal component can be adjusted vertically via the first assembly.
[0007] Preferably, the bottom end of the first assembly is provided with a transverse groove forming a horizontal channel. The vertical component passes through the vertical through hole and adjusts the height of the first assembly. The transverse component passes through the transverse groove and moves laterally into place before overlapping and positioning. The vertical cross-section of the transverse groove is an upward-facing C-shape. The transverse component is inserted into the transverse groove from top to bottom and overlaps and positions itself. The upward-facing opening of the transverse groove facilitates the insertion of the transverse component from top to bottom and its overlap on the bottom wall of the transverse groove, providing support for the transverse component and facilitating its lateral movement, thereby adjusting the lateral position of the clamp.
[0008] Preferably, the top end of the first assembly has a vertical through hole forming the vertical channel. The vertical component is a vertically positioned screw, the top end of which is fixed to the installation position so that the screw is suspended below the installation position. The screw passes through the vertical through hole and is positioned by being screwed into a nut. The vertical through hole forms the vertical channel, preventing the first assembly from shifting horizontally. The screw can be screwed into the nut to vertically position the first assembly, ensuring that the clamp is at a preset height.
[0009] Preferably, the transverse and longitudinal components are connected by a second assembly. The top of the second assembly has a transverse channel for the transverse component to pass through and adjust laterally, and the bottom of the second assembly has a longitudinal channel for the longitudinal component to pass through and adjust longitudinally. This allows the transverse and longitudinal components to be connected via the second assembly and allows for both transverse and longitudinal adjustment of the clamp position. The first assembly also serves to fix the longitudinal component, ensuring that it is reliably suspended below the transverse component and that it can move laterally along the transverse component, thereby adjusting the transverse position of the clamp.
[0010] Preferably, the top of the second assembly has a hanging groove that forms the horizontal two-channel and opens downwards, and the bottom end has a snap-fit groove located below the horizontal member and opening downwards. The second assembly is hung on the top of the horizontal member through the hanging groove and can be adjusted laterally, while the vertical member is snapped into the snap-fit groove and can be adjusted longitudinally. The hanging groove forms a horizontal two-channel for the horizontal member to pass through, allowing the second assembly to move laterally along the horizontal member and adjust the lateral position of the clamp. The snap-fit groove forms a longitudinal channel for the vertical member to pass through, allowing the vertical member to move longitudinally, so that the clamp is moved into place and meets the installation requirements of the decorative panel.
[0011] Preferably, the transverse component is a main keel with a square cross-section, the hanging groove is arranged transversely, the opening of the hanging groove is exposed downwards, the width of the hanging groove matches the width of the main keel, and the hanging groove is fitted onto the top of the main keel from top to bottom, which not only serves to suspend the second fitting, the longitudinal component and the decorative panel, but also facilitates the adjustment of the transverse position of the longitudinal component.
[0012] Preferably, the longitudinal member is a triangular keel with a cross-section that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The bottom of the longitudinal member has a downward-facing exposed clamping opening, and the hanging groove has a small opening and a large cavity that matches the top cross-sectional contour of the longitudinal member. The clamping opening is long and extends along the length of the bottom surface of the triangular keel. By moving the triangular keel longitudinally, the clamping opening can longitudinally cover the area where the decorative panel needs to be installed, thereby facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the decorative panel.
[0013] An assembly structure includes a decorative panel installed at the clamp of a keel assembly, allowing the installation position of the decorative panel to be freely adjusted within a preset space. Vertical, horizontal, and longitudinal members are arranged perpendicularly to each other along the three coordinates of the interior space. The clamp can be moved and adjusted along the vertical, horizontal, and longitudinal members to allow free adjustment within the preset space and meet the installation requirements of the decorative panel. The preset space generally refers to the ceiling space within the interior space used for installing the integrated ceiling.
[0014] Preferably, the decorative panel is square, and each edge of the decorative panel is bent upwards to form a plug-in plate that can be vertically inserted into the clamp. The plug-in plate has anti-detachment protrusions, which pass through the clamp and are locked within the longitudinal member during installation. The decorative panel is fixedly connected to the corresponding clamp by the plug-in plates located on its edges, thus fixing the decorative panel in a preset position to meet usage requirements. The anti-detachment protrusions on the plug-in plates are locked at the upper end of the clamp to prevent the plug-in plates from detaching from the clamp, effectively improving connection reliability.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up vertical, horizontal and longitudinal components in series to adjust the position of the clamp, the clamp can be adjusted vertically, horizontally and vertically by using the vertical, horizontal and longitudinal components respectively, so that the position of the clamp can be freely adjusted within the preset space and facilitates the installation of decorative panels. This not only effectively improves the assembly efficiency, but also makes it easy to freely adjust the position of the clamp, thus improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The essential features of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] Example 1:
[0024] This embodiment provides a keel assembly.
[0025] like Figure 1The illustrated keel assembly comprises a vertical member 1, a horizontal member 2, and a longitudinal member 3 connected sequentially from top to bottom. The longitudinal member 3 has a clamping opening 13 at its bottom. Adjacent vertical members 1 and horizontal members 2, as well as horizontal members 2 and longitudinal members 3, are perpendicular to each other and can move relative to each other, allowing the position of the clamping opening 13 to be freely adjusted within a preset space. By using the interconnected vertical members 1, horizontal members 2, and longitudinal members 3 to adjust the position of the clamping opening 13 vertically, horizontally, and vertically, respectively, the position of the clamping opening 13 can be freely adjusted within a preset space, facilitating the installation of the decorative panel 10. This effectively improves assembly efficiency and facilitates free adjustment of the clamping opening 13's position, enhancing the user experience.
[0026] In this embodiment, the vertical component 1, the horizontal component 2, and the longitudinal component 3 are all elongated. The vertical component 1 is a vertically placed screw, the horizontal component 2 is a main keel with a square cross-section, and the longitudinal component 3 is a triangular keel with a cross-section that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. During installation, the top end of the screw is fixed to the ceiling with an expansion screw. The main keel is installed on the screw in a height-adjustable manner through the first mounting accessory 4. The triangular keel is installed on the main keel in a horizontally adjustable manner through the second mounting accessory 5, so that the position of the clamp 13 at the bottom of the triangular keel can be adjusted as needed to ensure that the clamp 13 is located in a preset position and meets the usage requirements.
[0027] After installation, the vertical component 1 and the horizontal component 2 are perpendicularly fixed to each other through the first mounting part 4, and the horizontal component 2 and the vertical component 3 are perpendicularly set to each other through the second mounting part 5, so that the vertical component 1, the horizontal component 2 and the vertical component 3 are perpendicular to each other in three directions of the three spatial coordinates, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the clamp 13 to meet the differentiated use needs in different scenarios. When the vertical position of the clamp 13 needs to be adjusted, it is achieved by adjusting the position of the first assembly 4 on the vertical rod, so that the first assembly 4, the horizontal component 2, the second assembly 5, and the vertical component 3 can be adjusted up and down synchronously. When the horizontal position of the clamp 13 needs to be adjusted, it is achieved by adjusting the position of the second assembly 5 on the horizontal component 2, so that the second assembly 5 and the vertical component 3 can be adjusted horizontally synchronously. When the vertical position of the clamp 13 needs to be adjusted, it is achieved by adjusting the relative position between the vertical rod and the second assembly 5, so that the vertical component 3 can be adjusted vertically along the vertical channel, ensuring that the clamp 13 at the bottom of the vertical component 3 completely covers the preset position, thereby meeting the fixing requirements of the decorative panel 10.
[0028] In this embodiment, the top end of the vertical component 1 is fixed to the installation position. The horizontal component 2 can move vertically along the vertical component 1 and is fixedly connected. The longitudinal component 3 can move laterally along the horizontal component 2 and is fixedly connected, so that the relative position between the clamp 13 and the installation position can be freely adjusted. The vertical component 1 and the horizontal component 2 are connected by a first assembly 4. The top end of the first assembly 4 is provided with a vertical channel for the vertical component 1 to be inserted and adjusted vertically, and the bottom end is provided with a horizontal channel for the horizontal component 2 to be inserted and adjusted laterally, so that the vertical component 1 and the horizontal component 2 are connected by the first assembly 4 and the position of the clamp 13 can be adjusted vertically and laterally. The first assembly 4 is formed by bending a long strip of sheet metal (e.g., Figure 2 As shown), the top end of the first assembly 4 is provided with a vertical through hole 6 forming the vertical channel. The vertical member 1 is a vertically placed screw. The top end of the screw is fixed to the installation position so that the screw is suspended below the installation position. The screw passes through the vertical through hole 6 and is positioned by screwing a nut, so that the vertical member 1 passes through the vertical through hole 6 and adjusts the height of the first assembly 4. The bottom end of the first assembly 4 is provided with a transverse groove 7 forming a horizontal channel. The vertical cross section of the transverse groove 7 is a C-shape with the groove opening facing upward. The transverse member 2 is inserted into the transverse groove 7 from top to bottom and overlaps for positioning, ensuring that the transverse groove 7 can be connected to any section of the transverse member 2.
[0029] In this embodiment, the transverse member 2 and the longitudinal member 3 are connected by a second assembly 5. The top end of the second assembly 5 has a transverse channel for the transverse member 2 to pass through and adjust laterally, and the bottom end has a longitudinal channel for the longitudinal member 3 to pass through and adjust longitudinally. This allows the transverse member 2 and the longitudinal member 3 to be connected via the second assembly 5, and enables lateral and longitudinal adjustment of the position of the clamp 13. The transverse member 2 moves laterally relative to the transverse channel, and the longitudinal member 3 moves longitudinally relative to the longitudinal channel, allowing the position of the clamp 13 to be adjusted laterally and longitudinally. Specifically, the second assembly 5 is formed by bending a long strip of sheet metal (e.g., ...). Figure 3 As shown), the top of the second assembly 5 is provided with a hanging groove 8 that forms the horizontal channel and opens downwards. The hanging groove 8 is arranged horizontally, and the opening of the hanging groove 8 is exposed downwards. The width of the hanging groove 8 matches the width of the main keel, so that the hanging groove 8 can be hung on any section of the horizontal member 2. The bottom end of the second assembly 5 is provided with a buckle groove 9 located below the horizontal member 2 and opening downwards. The second assembly 5 is hung on the top of the horizontal member 2 through the hanging groove 8 and can be adjusted horizontally. The vertical member 3 is buckled in the buckle groove 9 and can be adjusted vertically. The bottom of the vertical member 3 is provided with a clamping opening 13 that is exposed downwards. The hanging groove 8 is small in opening and large in cavity and matches the top cross-sectional contour of the vertical member 3, ensuring that the clamping opening 13 covers the preset position that needs to be used to fix the decorative panel 10.
[0030] Example 2:
[0031] Compared to Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides an assembly structure for a keel assembly.
[0032] like Figure 4 The assembly structure shown consists of a decorative panel 10 and a keel assembly. The assembly panel is connected to the clamp 13 of the keel assembly so that the installation position of the decorative panel 10 can be freely adjusted within a preset space and assembled to form a decorative surface covering the ceiling.
[0033] In this embodiment, the longitudinal members 3 are multiple and equidistantly parallel, suspended below the transverse members 2. Each segment of a single longitudinal member 3 is suspended below the corresponding transverse member 2 via a second mounting accessory 5, ensuring that the longitudinal members 3 are horizontally linearly arranged. The distance between adjacent longitudinal members 3 matches the width of the decorative panel 10, allowing the decorative panel 10 to be inserted into the corresponding segment of the clamp 13 of the corresponding longitudinal member 3 via the insertion plates 11 located on its two sides. Horizontally adjacent decorative panels 10 can be continuously laid through the separately placed longitudinal members 3 (e.g., ...). Figure 5 As shown, the longitudinally adjacent decorative panels 10 can be continuously laid through the staggered shared long strip-shaped clamps 13, thereby achieving tight splicing of the decorative panels 10 and complete coverage of the ceiling and keel components.
[0034] In this embodiment, the decorative panel 10 is square. Each edge of the decorative panel 10 is bent upwards to form a plug-in plate 11 that can be vertically inserted into the clamp 13. The plug-in plate 11 is provided with an anti-detachment protrusion 12. During installation, the anti-detachment protrusion 12 passes through the clamp 13 and is locked in the longitudinal member 3. The four edges of the decorative panel 10 are each provided with a plug-in plate 11, so that any pair of opposite edges of the decorative panel 10 can be plugged into the adjacent clamp 13 of the longitudinal member 3. This not only improves the convenience of installation, but also ensures that the decorative panel 10 can be installed in any direction, and ensures that the decorative pattern arrangement of the decorative panel 10 meets the usage requirements.
[0035] The other structures and effects of the keel assembly described in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.
