Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceiling structure technology, specifically to a unitized ceiling structure with adjustable function. Background Technology
[0002] Ceiling systems typically use a framework and transition layer to fix decorative panels. Current technology usually requires precise design of the framework and transition layer dimensions based on the installation height and position of the decorative panels to ensure accurate installation. This method demands high dimensional accuracy from each component. However, due to industry limitations, the decoration industry does not require highly precise parts. High-precision parts increase processing difficulty, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and significantly higher processing costs. Therefore, a technical solution that allows for adjustment of the decorative panels is needed to replace the precision-machined ceiling technology. This solution would allow for the overall installation of the decorative panels by adjusting them and cutting or beautifying the seams.
[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with publication number CN222065917U, which discloses a unitized ceiling structure with adjustable function. The structure includes: a fixed plate, fixed to the ceiling via a connecting seat, with a gap between the fixed plate and the ceiling; two square tubes arranged in parallel, each movably mounted on the fixed plate via a connecting component; a sliding member, with locking slots at both ends, positioned between the two square tubes, with the square tubes passing through the locking slots; and a decorative panel mounted on the sliding member via a hanging component. This design uses two square tubes to support the sliding member, and the position of the decorative panel is adjusted by the movement of the sliding member, offering the advantage of convenient adjustment. The locking slots at both ends of the sliding member facilitate quick installation onto the square tubes. This allows for rapid and efficient adjustment of the decorative panel, improving installation efficiency.
[0004] The aforementioned patent uses only two square tubes to support the translation component, and the position of the decorative panel is adjusted by the movement of the translation component, which has the advantage of convenient adjustment. However, the translation component has locking slots at both ends, which facilitates quick installation on the square tubes. This does not adequately address the issue of structural instability caused by earthquakes leading to twisting or tilting, which could result in the decorative ceiling panel falling off and cracking, making it unsafe to use.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a modular ceiling structure with adjustable functions to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a unitized ceiling structure with adjustable function. By opening a groove inside the tube to store wires, a circuit monitoring module composed of several wires and connectors can be hidden and embedded. When the tube is affected by an earthquake and twists or deforms, causing the connectors to misalign, the circuit will be broken and the LED lights of the electrical connection will be turned off. This can promptly remind people of the safety hazards of the ceiling structure. This solves the problem that the existing technology cannot fully address the issue of the stability of the ceiling structure being compromised by twisting or tilting caused by an earthquake, resulting in the falling off and cracking of the decorative ceiling panels, which is not safe to use.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a unit-type suspended ceiling structure with adjustable function, including a mounting frame and strip tubes. The mounting frame is fixed to the ceiling by a fixing bolt, which is threaded to both ends of the mounting frame. The mounting frame has a strip-shaped opening inside, and screw rods are symmetrically arranged inside the strip-shaped opening. Two screw rods are movably mounted on the mounting frame by locking nuts. A mounting base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the screw rods. A strip tube is movably inserted inside the mounting base. A pin is installed between the strip tube and the mounting base. The top and bottom of the strip tube have mounting openings that match the pin rods. A sliding frame is snapped between two adjacent strip tubes. Both ends of the sliding frame have openings, and the two strip tubes are respectively inserted into the openings.
[0008] Preferably, the inside of the tube is provided with several wires, and each end of the wires is fixedly connected to a connector.
[0009] Preferably, a limiting piece is detachably connected to the side of the strip tube by screws, and an elastic pressure plate is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting piece.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the translation frame is fixed with a hanging block by a second fixing bolt, and the bottom of the hanging block is fixed with a decorative panel by a third fixing bolt.
[0011] Preferably, both ends of the strip-shaped opening are connected to circular openings.
[0012] Preferably, a positioning strip is fixedly connected to one side of the decorative panel, and a positioning groove matching the positioning strip is opened on the other side of the decorative panel.
[0013] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows: By creating a groove inside the conduit to store the wires, a circuit monitoring module consisting of several wires and connectors can be concealed and buried. When the conduit is affected by an earthquake and twists or deforms, causing misalignment of the connectors, the circuit will be broken and the LED lights of the electrical connection will turn off. This can promptly alert personnel to potential safety hazards in the ceiling structure. Furthermore, the elastic setting of the elastic pressure plate can not only limit the wires and prevent misalignment of connectors due to improper installation from affecting the circuit response, but also adapt to the specifications of the wires, improving practicality and facilitating subsequent installation.

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5The unit-type suspended ceiling structure with adjustable function shown includes a mounting frame 1 and a strip tube 7. The mounting frame 1 is fixed to the ceiling 3 by fixing bolts 2. The fixing bolts 2 are threaded to both ends of the mounting frame 1. The mounting frame 1 has a strip-shaped opening 4 inside. The screw 5 is slidably inserted into the strip opening 4, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the strip tube 7 and the decorative panel 13 along the length direction of the strip opening 4. Screws 5 are symmetrically arranged inside the slot 4. The two screws 5 are movably mounted on the mounting frame 1 by locking nuts 20. The bottom of the screws 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 6. The mounting base 6 is movably inserted with a strip tube 7. Each strip tube 7 is movably mounted on the mounting frame 1 by a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly consists of screws 5, locking nuts 20, mounting base 6 and pins 8. A pin 8 is installed between the tube 7 and the mounting base 6. The top and bottom of the tube 7 are provided with mounting ports 18 that match the pin 8. The tube 7 and the mounting base 6 are provided with mounting ports 18 for inserting and installing the pin 8. The area of the top of the pin 8 is larger than the area of the mounting port 18 to prevent the pin 8 from falling off. A sliding frame 9 is snapped between two adjacent strips 7. Openings 21 are provided at both ends of the sliding frame 9. The two strips 7 are respectively inserted into the openings 21. Two strips 7 are used to support the sliding frame 9. The position of the decorative panel 13 is adjusted by the movement of the sliding frame 9, which has the advantage of convenient adjustment.
[0019] The tube 7 contains several wires 14, each with a connector 15 fixedly connected to both ends. The circuit monitoring module consists of the wires 14, connectors 15, and LEDs. The LED model can be a flashing type L-3144SBD. This module monitors for twisting of the tube 7. The connectors 15 are non-metallic and insulated from the tube 7. The connectors 15 of adjacent wires 14 abut against each other, allowing them to conduct electricity. This connects the connectors 15 in series with the LEDs and the indoor power supply.
[0020] Secondly, the LED lights need to be installed close to the wall and can be installed through the decorative panel 13. The decorative panel 13 needs to have reserved holes for the LED lights to pass through and transmit light, so that people can easily observe the flashing of the LED lights.
[0021] A limiting piece 16 is detachably connected to the side of the strip tube 7 by screws. An elastic pressure piece 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting piece 16. The width of the limiting piece 16 is greater than the opening width of the strip tube 7, which facilitates fixation. The elastic pressure piece 17 is made of non-metallic material and is not conductive, so as to avoid affecting the safety of the installation work. The elastic pressure piece 17 can limit the wire 14 and prevent the wire from protruding and getting tangled, which would affect the contact stability of the connector 15.
[0022] The bottom of the translation frame 9 is fixed with a hanging block 11 by a second fixing bolt 10. The bottom of the hanging block 11 is fixed with a decorative panel 13 by a third fixing bolt 12. The decorative panel 13 is installed on the translation frame 9 through the hanging block 11, which can quickly and efficiently adjust the decorative panel 13 and improve its installation efficiency.
[0023] Both ends of the strip-shaped opening 4 are connected to circular openings 19. The diameter of the circular opening 19 is larger than the width of the strip-shaped opening 4. The circular opening 19 is used to lock the nut 20 through and place it on top, and then the screw 5 can be moved horizontally. When the locking nut 20 is above the strip-shaped opening 4, the screw 5 can be prevented from falling off the mounting bracket 1 because the diameter of the locking nut 20 is larger than the width of the strip-shaped opening 4.
[0024] A positioning strip 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the decorative panel 13, and a positioning groove 23 matching the positioning strip 22 is opened on the other side of the decorative panel 13. The two decorative panels 13 are spliced by sliding the positioning strip 22 into the positioning groove 23. The two are connected by a glue-free physical connection, and the material is 100% recyclable after disassembly.
[0025] The working principle of this practical application is as follows: Fix the mounting bracket 1 to the mounting bracket 1 using fixing bolt 2. Slide the screw 5 into the slot 4. Adjust the distance between the two screws 5 according to the specifications of the sliding bracket 9 and the decorative panel 13. After determining the position, lock the position of the screw 5 with the lock nut 20. Slide the two adjacent tubes 7 into the openings 21 at both ends of the sliding bracket 9. Then, insert the tubes 7 into multiple mounting seats 6 in sequence and use the pin 8 to position them in the corresponding mounting openings 18 inside the tubes 7. Then, use fixing bolt 2 10 and fixing bolt 3 12 to connect to the sliding bracket 9 and the decorative panel 13 respectively. When the tubes 7 vibrate or twist, the joints 15 between the wires 14 will misalign, resulting in a circuit break and the LED lights will turn off. Secondly, since the decorative panel 13, the hanging block 11 and the sliding bracket 9 can be made of metal and are conductive, if the positions of the three are displaced, it will also cause a circuit break, thus alerting personnel in time.
[0026] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
