Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of architectural decoration engineering technology, specifically to a new type of architectural ceiling structure technology. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional building ceilings require the installation of a metal keel frame first, followed by the laying of cable trays to support water and electricity lines (such as cables, water pipes, and air ducts), and finally the covering with decorative panels.

[0003] However, this method has the following problems: First, the cable trays and joists overlap, occupying at least 150 mm of floor height, which greatly reduces the indoor headroom; second, since the installation of pipelines and the ceiling joists need to be carried out in separate steps, the construction process is complicated and the construction period is extended; in addition, the additional cable trays and supporting structures increase material and labor costs, thus increasing the overall cost; finally, when pipelines need to be inspected, maintenance personnel often need to damage the decorative surface layer, which not only increases maintenance costs but may also affect the integrity of the ceiling system.

[0004] As mentioned above, there is still much room for improvement in existing building ceiling structures in terms of construction efficiency, space utilization, cost, and ease of maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the aforementioned problems, this application proposes a novel building ceiling structure, which aims to solve at least one of the significant drawbacks of traditional building ceiling systems, such as low space utilization, complex construction, high cost, and difficult maintenance, through an innovative design in which the ceiling structure directly supports water and electricity pipelines.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] This application proposes a novel building ceiling structure, including multiple parallel aluminum alloy keels, screws for suspending the aluminum alloy keels, and decorative panels that are spaced apart from the aluminum alloy keels at the lower end of the aluminum alloy keels by means of a male-female plug-in lock.

[0008] The upper end of the aluminum alloy keel is provided with a connecting rod, which is laterally connected to the adjacent aluminum alloy keel;

[0009] The upper end of the aluminum alloy keel is provided with a pipeline channel parallel to the connecting rod, and the pipeline channel is used to support and fix the pipeline.

[0010] In this way, a double-layer hollow panel is formed by aluminum alloy keel and decorative panel. Pipe channel is set at the upper end of aluminum alloy keel, so that the main structure of the ceiling itself has the function of bearing water and electricity pipelines (such as cables, water supply and drainage pipes, fire sprinkler pipes, ventilation pipes, etc.), completely eliminating the traditional independent cable tray system.

[0011] Therefore, by eliminating the procurement and installation procedures for cable trays and their dedicated hoisting systems, this invention significantly reduces material costs and labor input. On-site construction is simplified from the multi-step process of "installing cable trays first, then laying pipelines, and finally sealing the panels" to "simultaneous installation of the keel and laying of pipelines," and decorative panels are installed using a plug-in locking system. The overall construction period can be shortened by more than 30%, significantly improving project efficiency.

[0012] Furthermore, this integrated design significantly reduces the number of structural layers inside the ceiling, keeping the overall installation thickness below 80mm, which is more than 40% thinner than traditional solutions (usually ≥150mm), effectively increasing the net height of the room.

[0013] In some possible implementations, a fireproof insulating liner pre-embedded in the pipeline channel is also included.

[0014] In some possible implementations, a resilient clip disposed within the pipeline channel is also included.

[0015] In some possible implementations, the screw is connected to the aluminum alloy keel via a sleeve, one end of which is helically engaged with the screw, and the other end is fixedly connected to the aluminum alloy keel, making the height of the aluminum alloy keel relative to the screw adjustable.

[0016] In some possible implementations, the lower end of the sleeve is provided with a flange ring, and the flange ring has an arc-shaped mounting hole extending circumferentially.

[0017] In some possible implementations, a T-shaped keel for supporting the decorative panel is also included, the T-shaped keel including an upper arm and a cross arm, the T-shaped keel being detachably connected to the aluminum alloy keel by the plug-in latch;

[0018] The female-female plug-in lock includes a female locking component disposed on the side wall of the aluminum alloy keel and a female locking component disposed on the upper arm of the T-shaped keel.

[0019] In some possible implementations, the female locking component is connected across the top of the aluminum alloy keel via a U-shaped clamping structure, with its two ends located on both sides of the aluminum alloy keel to form a stable connection; or, the female locking component is fixed to one side wall of the aluminum alloy keel.

[0020] In some possible implementations, the decorative panel is a magnesium oxide board, which overlaps the upper surface of the cross arm of the T-shaped keel or is fixed to the lower surface of the cross arm of the T-shaped keel by fasteners.

[0021] In some possible implementations, when the magnesium oxide board overlaps the upper surface of the cross arm of the T-shaped keel, it is limited and fixed by an L-shaped clamp, one end of which presses down on the magnesium oxide board and the other end is connected to the upper arm of the T-shaped keel.

[0022] In some possible implementations, a quick-release cover plate, which is a removable decorative panel, is also provided directly below the pipeline channel. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The following examples further illustrate the features of this application and other related features in detail, so as to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art:

[0031] It should be noted that the terms “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down” used in the following description refer to the directions in the attached diagrams, while the terms “bottom surface,” “top surface,” “inner,” and “outer” refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0032] Furthermore, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this case based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3The overall structure of this application includes an aluminum alloy keel 1, which can be a U-shaped aluminum screen structure, or other keel structures. It mainly uses a single-layer aluminum alloy keel with height requirements. The upper end of the keel is provided with an installation groove 11, in which screws or bolts slide. This is a common technical means in the industry. In this embodiment, the bolts or screws are not shown in the figure.

[0034] Multiple aluminum alloy keels 1 are arranged side by side and hoisted by screws 2, the upper end of which is connected to the building roof 100. Preferably, the screws 2 are connected to the aluminum alloy keels 1 via sleeves 21. The sleeves 21 can be set at a certain height, and their height can be adjusted by a helical engagement between one end of the sleeve and the screw 2, for example, by ±30mm. The other end of the sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the aluminum alloy keel 1, making the height of the aluminum alloy keel 1 relative to the screws 2 adjustable.

[0035] Preferably, to ensure stable fixing of the sleeve 21, a flange ring 22 is provided at the lower end of the sleeve 21, and the flange ring 22 has an arc-shaped mounting hole 23 extending circumferentially. In this way, the sleeve 21 can be fixed at two points, and the height can also be adjusted.

[0036] Furthermore, the upper end of the aluminum alloy keel 1 is provided with a connecting rod 3, which is laterally connected to adjacent aluminum alloy keels 1. The connecting rod 3 can also be made of aluminum alloy or other rigid materials. A pipeline channel 12 is provided parallel to the connecting rod 3 at the upper end of the aluminum alloy keel 1. The pipeline channel 12 is used to support and fix the pipeline 200, which refers to water and electricity pipelines (such as cables, water supply and drainage pipes, fire sprinkler pipes, ventilation pipes, etc.). Its diameter can be (Φ20–Φ100mm). First, a fireproof insulating liner (not shown in the figure) is pre-embedded in the pipeline channel 12, and then an elastic buckle 13 is installed in the pipeline channel 12. The elastic buckle 13 can adapt to different pipe diameters Φ20–Φ100mm and can be adjusted according to requirements. The elastic buckle 13 can be an elastic pipe clamp or a rotary quick-connect structure that matches the end of the pipe; no specific limitation is made in this regard.

[0037] Further, please refer to Figures 4 to 7Decorative panels 4 are spaced apart at the lower end of the aluminum alloy keel 1, and the decorative panels 4 are connected by a male-female plug-in lock. Specifically, it also includes a T-shaped keel 5 for supporting the decorative panels 4. The T-shaped keel 5 includes an upper arm 51 and a cross arm 52. The T-shaped keel 5 is detachably connected to the aluminum alloy keel 1 by the male-female plug-in lock. The male-female plug-in lock includes a female locking member 41 disposed on the side wall of the aluminum alloy keel 1 and a male locking member 42 disposed on the upper arm 51 of the T-shaped keel 5. The female locking member 41 and the male locking member 42 are made of metal, such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel. In use, the installation of the T-shaped keel 5 is completed by simply hooking the male locking member 42 of the T-shaped keel 5 into the female locking member 41 of the aluminum alloy keel 1.

[0038] Preferably, the female locking component 41 can be installed by using a U-shaped clamping structure 43 to span the top of the aluminum alloy keel 1. In this case, the U-shaped clamping structure 43 can be fixed to the mounting slot 11 with bolts to form a stable connection. However, for locations involving pipeline channels 12 where the U-shaped clamping structure 43 cannot be installed, the female locking component 41 can be fixed to one side wall of the aluminum alloy keel 1, and the fixing method can be screw fastening or the like.

[0039] The decorative panel 4 is made of magnesium oxide board. In the first installation method, it is attached to the upper surface of the cross arm 52 of the T-shaped keel 5. In this case, it is fixed by an L-shaped clamp 44, one end of which presses against the magnesium oxide board, and the other end is connected to the upper arm 51 of the T-shaped keel 5. A decorative strip 53 can then be installed between the T-shaped keels 5. The second installation method is to fix it to the lower surface of the cross arm 52 of the T-shaped keel 5 using fasteners, such as screws.

[0040] In application, suspension points can be positioned on the building ceiling at 100mm according to the pipeline layout diagram, and adjustable suspension screws 2 can be installed. Pipelines 200 are pre-laid in the pipeline channels 12 of the aluminum alloy keel 1 and secured using elastic clips 13. Next, the female locking piece 41 can be installed, and the sleeve 21 can be inserted into the screw 2 to adjust the height, and the aluminum alloy keel 1 can be installed and locked. The connecting rod 3 is installed, and at least one end of the decorative panel 4 is fixed to the T-shaped keel 5 and the sub-locking piece 42 is installed, followed by the installation of the decorative panel 4. At this point, a custom-made adapter plate is used at the intersection of the pipelines 200 to achieve multi-directional connectivity. After installation, the water and electricity systems are connected for testing, and the suspension screws 2 and sleeves 21 are adjusted to ensure the ceiling is level (error ≤ 2mm / m).

[0041] In this way, a double-layer hollow panel is formed by aluminum alloy keel 1 and decorative panel 4. Pipeline channel 12 is set at the upper end of aluminum alloy keel 1, so that the main structure of the ceiling itself has the function of bearing water and electricity pipelines (such as cables, water supply and drainage pipes, fire sprinkler pipes, ventilation pipes, etc.), completely eliminating the traditional independent cable tray system.

[0042] Therefore, by eliminating the procurement and installation procedures for cable trays and their dedicated hoisting systems, this invention significantly reduces material costs and labor input. On-site construction is simplified from the multi-step process of "installing cable trays first, then laying pipelines, and finally sealing the panels" to "simultaneous installation of the keel and laying of pipelines," and the decorative panel 4 is installed using a plug-in locking system, which can shorten the overall construction period by more than 30% and significantly improve project efficiency.

[0043] Furthermore, this integrated design significantly reduces the number of structural layers inside the ceiling, keeping the overall installation thickness below 80mm, which is more than 40% thinner than traditional solutions (usually ≥150mm), effectively increasing the net height of the room.

[0044] Preferably, a quick-release cover plate is provided directly below the pipeline channel 12, and the quick-release cover plate is a detachable decorative panel. Quick-release covers are a common structure in the decoration field, and will not be illustrated. A feasible and common form is that the quick-release cover plate can be made of aluminum composite panel, PVC composite panel, magnesium oxide board, or other lightweight decorative panels. Each quick-release cover plate has a dedicated snap-fit ​​structure around its four edges. At this time, a ring-shaped covering keel is set at the lower end of the aluminum alloy keel 1 through a T-shaped keel 5, and a quick-release connecting component is set on the covering keel to achieve mechanical engagement with the quick-release cover plate. Specifically, multiple elastic brackets are set at intervals along the length of each covering keel along its lower edge. Correspondingly, a hook structure matching the bracket is provided on the side of the quick-release cover plate. During installation, the quick-release cover plate is tilted to align the hook structure and the elastic bracket, and then rotated to a horizontal position.

[0045] As stated above, this case protects a new type of building ceiling structure, and all technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this case should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this case.
