A staggered ceiling structure

Abstract

This utility model discloses a staggered ceiling structure, relating to the field of integrated ceiling technology, to solve the problem of unsightly existing ceiling edge trims. It includes a keel, a ceiling panel (2) suspended from the keel, and a staggered component. The staggered component is positioned higher than the ceiling panel, with its outer end for attachment to the wall. The staggered component also has a horizontally overlapping section with the ceiling panel, with the exposed portion of the overlapping section extending beyond the outer edge of the ceiling panel. This results in the staggered component being higher than the ceiling panel vertically and exposed horizontally, forming a staggered space with the perimeter of the ceiling panel. By setting a staggered component that is staggered with the ceiling panel, this invention eliminates or weakens the visual effect of the edge trim.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of integrated ceiling technology, and in particular to a staggered ceiling structure without edge trim. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the integrated ceiling industry widely uses aluminum sandwich panels with honeycomb cores, commonly known as "honeycomb panels." Their high strength and lighter weight compared to wood composite panels have led to their widespread adoption. After the honeycomb panels are installed on the ceiling via a joist, seams remain between their edges and the wall. To conceal these seams, existing technology typically adds edge trim strips to the edges of the honeycomb panels. However, the edge trim strips are almost flush with the ceiling honeycomb panels, resulting in a lack of depth and limiting the decorative effect. Furthermore, walls are often difficult to maintain a uniform flatness, and the edge trim strips, being close to the wall, easily accentuate any unevenness and gaps between the panels, affecting aesthetics. In addition, the color of the edge trim strips is often difficult to match the panel color; this color difference affects the uniformity of the ceiling color and disrupts the overall visual appeal. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a staggered ceiling structure that makes the ceiling unified and layered, thus eliminating the need for edge trim and reducing the visual shadows caused by uneven walls, effectively improving the spatial decoration effect of the ceiling.

[0004] This utility model adopts the following technical solution: a staggered ceiling structure, including a keel, a ceiling panel suspended from the keel, and a staggered component. The staggered component is set higher than the ceiling panel, and its outer end is used to attach to the wall. The staggered component also has a horizontally overlapping section with the ceiling panel, and the exposed part of the overlapping section extends beyond the outer edge of the ceiling panel, so that the staggered component is higher than the ceiling panel in the vertical direction and exposed outside the ceiling panel in the horizontal direction, forming a staggered space with the periphery of the ceiling panel. The staggered component extends towards the interior, so that its projection covers the gap between the side of the ceiling panel and the wall, thus obscuring the edge of the ceiling panel from a top-down view.

[0005] To improve the installation strength and bending strength of the staggered component, a mounting base is provided at the exposed end edge of the staggered component. The staggered component and the mounting base can be integrally formed or connected separately. The mounting base is used to fix it to the wall. The overlapping section of the staggered component is connected and positioned to a hanger rod through a connector. The ceiling panel is an aluminum sandwich ceiling panel with a honeycomb core. The connector overlaps with the free end of the staggered component to support the staggered component and prevent its deformation.

[0006] As a fixed connector, a fastener is provided between the connector and the rod. The fastener has a pair of parallel clamping grooves. The connector has a protrusion that fits into the clamping groove. A through hole is provided in the middle of the fastener, through which the rod passes. The rod is fixed to the fastener by a locking component.

[0007] The connector is attached to the ceiling panel via a snap-fit ​​fitting at its lower end. From the perspective of the finished ceiling surface, the connector is invisible, creating the visual effect of the connector being completely obscured.

[0008] Furthermore, the keel includes a main keel and triangular keels fixed to the ceiling wall. The triangular keels are fixed to the main keel. The bottom surface of the slot of the connector is coplanar with the bottom surface of the slot of the triangular keel. One or more ceiling panels can be simultaneously or individually snapped into the slots of the connector and / or the slots of the triangular keels. The simultaneous snapping of the ceiling panels into the triangular keels and connectors facilitates the limiting and fixing of the panels, and also allows the panels to better conceal the transition load-bearing keel.

[0009] The ceiling panel has fittings on its top surface, which are located within the projection area of ​​the panel's top surface. These fittings can be snapped into the triangular keel to secure the ceiling panel. The fittings are not exposed on the ceiling panel, thus enhancing its aesthetics.

[0010] Furthermore, the connector has a locking block on the side facing the mounting base. This locking block can be used to attach a light strip, allowing light to shine out from the staggered space. The staggered gap serves as a natural light path, eliminating the need for additional slotting.

[0011] To facilitate installation as needed, the two side walls of the locking block are provided with axially extending limiting recesses, and the inner side wall of the connector is provided with protrusions that match the limiting recesses. When the locking block is engaged, the protrusions engage with the limiting recesses to form an anti-disengagement locking structure.

[0012] The connector has multiple components, which are connected by a diagonal splicing method. The diagonal splicing points have complementary beveled interlocking surfaces. This reduces the impact of the splicing seams at the joints, makes the lines smoother, reduces the risk of deformation, and improves the continuity of the light strip after installation.

[0013] To further eliminate the visual impact of the profile edge banding, the bottom plate of the ceiling panel with aluminum plate sandwich has an integral outwardly extending folded edge that seals the side wall of the ceiling panel, and the bottom and top surfaces of the ceiling panel have a honeycomb core.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This utility model adds staggered components to the existing ceiling structure, achieving a seamless visual effect for the ceiling. The staggered components also have a physical light-blocking effect. The ceiling structure of this utility model no longer requires the installation of edge strips. The staggered components can be fixed to the wall as needed, without being constrained by the boundary of the ceiling panel or the position of the main keel. The staggered design reduces the requirements for the flatness of the wall surface, and uneven walls have less visual impact. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the description of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings is merely illustrative and not restrictive. Various embodiments can be combined with each other to form other embodiments not shown in the following description.

[0023] Example

[0024] This embodiment provides a staggered ceiling structure, which eliminates or weakens the visual impact of the edge trim by setting staggered components.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the staggered ceiling structure of this embodiment includes a keel 1 and a ceiling panel 2 suspended from the keel. The ceiling panel 2 in this embodiment is an aluminum sandwich ceiling panel 2 with a honeycomb core. The bottom plate of the aluminum sandwich ceiling panel 2 has an integrally extended outward folded edge, which seals the side wall of the ceiling panel 2. The folded edge design makes the fixing point between the ceiling panel 2 and the triangular keel 13 invisible after installation, resulting in a high aesthetic appeal. The ceiling structure also includes a staggered component 3, which is set higher than the ceiling panel 2 and its outer end is used to attach to the wall. The staggered component 3 also has a horizontally overlapping section with the ceiling panel 2, and the exposed portion of the overlapping section extends beyond the outer edge of the ceiling panel 2. This makes the staggered component 3 vertically higher than the ceiling panel 2 and horizontally exposed outside the ceiling panel 2, forming a staggered space with the periphery of the ceiling panel 2. The staggered component 3 can be fixed to the wall using fasteners such as screws or adhesives such as glue. After the staggered component 3 is installed, the joint between the staggered component 3 and the wall is not easily visible due to the staggered space setting.

[0026] In this embodiment, to facilitate the fixing of the staggered component 3, a mounting base 31 is provided at the exposed end edge of the staggered component 3. The staggered component 3 and the mounting base 31 can be integrally formed or connected separately. The mounting base 31 is used to fix it to the wall. The mounting base 31 can be set on the top surface of the staggered component 31. After installation, when viewed from below, only the bottom surface of the staggered component 3 can be observed, and the installation point will not be visible, resulting in better aesthetics. Please refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the overlapping section of the staggered component 3 is connected and positioned to a hanger 15 via a connector 12. The connector 12 supports the free end of the staggered component 3 to prevent the connector 12 from collapsing or deforming.

[0027] A fastener 14 is provided between the connector 12 and the rod 15. The fastener 14 has a pair of parallel clamping grooves 141. The connector 12 has a protrusion that fits into the clamping groove 141. The fastener 14 has a through hole in the middle, through which the rod 15 passes. The rod 15 is fixed to the fastener 14 by a locking component 151. Figure 4 In the middle, the locking assembly 151 is composed of an upper locking member 1511 and a lower locking member 1512. Figure 4 This is merely a schematic diagram of the locking assembly 151. In actual installation, other locking structures may be used, which will not be listed in this embodiment. The hanger 15 needs to be fixed to the roof of the building, but does not need to be connected to the main keel 11. The fixing position can be selected according to the actual situation and needs. The hanger 15 can be an expansion bolt.

[0028] In this embodiment, the connector 12 is connected to the ceiling panel 2 via a snap-fit ​​fitting 21. The fitting 21 can be integrally formed with the ceiling panel 2 or it can be a separate component; this embodiment does not limit this. Specifically, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the keel 1 includes a main keel 11 fixed to the top wall and a triangular keel 13. The triangular keel 13 is fixed to the main keel 11. The bottom surface of the slot of the connector 12 is coplanar with the bottom surface of the slot of the triangular keel 13. One or more ceiling panels 2 can be simultaneously or individually snapped into the slot of the connector 12 and / or the slot of the triangular keel 13. The slot of the connector 12 can be a conventional snap-fit / slot such as a metal elastic slot or an L-shaped buckle, as long as it ensures that the fittings 21 on the ceiling panel 2 can be snapped and fixed. The fittings 21 can be conventional profile folds, sheet plates welded to the surface of the ceiling panel 2, or strips fixed to the surface of the ceiling panel 2 by screws. The fittings 21 can also be a split structure, for example... Figure 5 As shown, the assembly 21 includes a fixing seat fixed to the top surface of the ceiling panel 2, and a clip fixed inside the fixing seat. This allows for selection of the installation positions of the fixing seat and clip according to the actual situation during installation, so as to better fit with the triangular keel 13 or the connector 12. The installation / connection method of the ceiling panel 2 and the triangular keel 13 is a conventional technical means, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0029] To further enhance aesthetics and improve the overall visual appeal of ceiling panel 2, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 5 As shown, the ceiling panel 2 has a fitting 21 on its top surface. The fitting 21 is located within the projection area of ​​the top surface of the panel and can be snapped into the triangular keel 13 to fix the ceiling panel 2. The fitting 21 being located within the projection area of ​​the top surface of the panel makes it invisible from the completed installation view, improving aesthetics. The fitting 21 only needs to be ensured not to protrude from the edge of the ceiling panel 2. The method of installation on the top surface of the ceiling panel 2 is not limited in this embodiment; welding, screw fixing, etc., can all achieve the "fitting 21 on the top surface of the ceiling panel 2" described in this embodiment.

[0030] Existing suspended ceilings are typically flat or near-flat, lacking space for LED strip installation. This usually requires additional materials to secure the strips, grooves to be cut into the ceiling, making construction inconvenient and necessitating structures to block direct light. The suspended ceiling structure in this embodiment, due to its staggered design, allows for direct installation of LED strips and effectively blocks direct light sources. Please refer to... Figure 2As shown, a locking block 121 is provided on the side of the connector 12 facing the mounting base 31. The locking block can be used to attach a light strip, allowing light to shine out from the staggered space. The locking block 121 can be a conventional profile for installing light strips. For easy installation and disassembly, the two side walls of the locking block 121 are provided with axially extending limiting recesses, and the inner side wall of the connector 12 is provided with protrusions that match the limiting recesses. When the locking block 121 is engaged, the protrusions engage with the limiting recesses to form an anti-disengagement locking structure. The above-mentioned locking block 121 structure allows users to freely choose whether or not to use a light strip during ceiling installation. After the ceiling installation is completed, the light strip can also be installed at any time without disassembling any ceiling components.

[0031] There are multiple connectors 12, and different connectors 12 can be connected by a bevel splicing method, with complementary beveled meshing surfaces at the bevel splicing points. This splicing method can ensure the integrity of the exposed sidewall of each connector 12, facilitate connection and installation, and also make the light strip installed on it continuous.

[0032] The ceiling structure described above does not require any improvement to the installation method of the keel 1 based on existing technology. It only requires the addition of the misalignment part 3 at the wall, and the installation of the fixing connector 12 if necessary, and then the installation of the ceiling panel 2. No complicated construction process is required.

[0033] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
