AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing ceiling suspension systems struggle to provide reliable and accurate positioning and traveling of ceiling units on complex ceiling structures, especially in rough terrain or with unpredictable reaction forces, while ensuring high positional accuracy and flexibility across various wall or ceiling geometries.

Method used

A ceiling suspension arrangement featuring crawler type ceiling units with suspension elements configured for de-/coupling kinematics, allowing for secure coupling and decoupling from the ceiling structure, combined with a modular ceiling structure that can be easily set up and expanded, enabling variable two-dimensional tracks of motion and high positional accuracy.

Benefits of technology

The solution enables reliable, accurate, and flexible suspension and positioning of ceiling units, facilitating efficient construction and scalability of the ceiling structure, while ensuring secure engagement with the ceiling structure across diverse geometries and conditions.

Abstract

The invention relates to a ceiling suspension arrangement (100) exhibiting at least one crawler type ceiling unit (10) and a ceiling structure (1) extending in at least two spatial directions (x, y), the ceiling structure (1) comprising profile units (1.1) extending in a first spatial direction (x) arranged in parallel in a second spatial direction (y), the crawler type ceiling unit (10) exhibiting suspension elements (13, 13a, 13b) allowing the crawler (10) to be moved along the profile units (1.1) irrespective of momentary motion in said second spatial direction (y), the ceiling structure (1) comprising ceiling modules (2), wherein the ceiling modules (2) comprise a subset of profile units (1.1) interconnected via connection beams (2.1).
