A ceiling box, also known as a ceiling bottom box, is a box installed inside the ceiling to accommodate and protect electrical equipment. It is usually made of plastic or metal and has waterproof and dustproof properties, which can effectively protect electrical equipment and extend its service life. In addition to providing a safe and convenient installation location for electrical equipment, ceiling junction boxs can also be customized according to actual needs to meet various installation needs of electrical equipment. For example, some ceiling boxes can be designed with component wire boxes for installing ceiling lamp heads, branching or merging. In addition, some ceiling boxes can also be designed as installation locations for fire alarm equipment, such as smoke detectors, improving safety performance.
Wide application of ceiling box
The ceiling box can be used as an installation box for smart home devices, such as smart light bulbs, cameras, etc. These devices can be hidden in the ceiling through the installation of the ceiling box, making the home environment cleaner and more beautiful. The ceiling box is also applied to smart terminal devices, such as smartphones, tablets, etc., as an installation box for antennas, ensuring the signal of smart terminals while enhancing space utilization. The ceiling light electrical box can also be used for lighting equipment, such as ceiling lamps. Installing lamps in the ceiling box is both aesthetically pleasing and practical.
The installation of the ceiling electrical box
Choose the appropriate location. The location selection of the ceiling electrical box is very important, and it should be installed close to the power cord for easy wiring. Reserve a neutral line. Reserve a neutral line in the bottom box of the switch, which is very convenient for later installation. Reserve space. Before installing the ceiling box, sufficient space needs to be reserved for later installation and maintenance. Considering the installation method, some ceiling boxes are nailed together, which does not generate a large amount of dust and simplifies the installation process of the control box body. Pay attention to installation depth: If the bottom box is not too shallow, it is not convenient for later installation. Consider installing a guide groove: Some smart home systems have a circular installation guide groove designed on the bottom box, which meets the requirement of flush installation between the expandable smart home system and the installation wall. Pay attention to installation height: The width of the curtain box should be above 10cm, and for double tracks, it should be above 20cm.
The material of the ceiling box
Plastic ceiling boxes, like plastic ceiling fan boxes, are usually made of polycarbonate, which has good corrosion resistance and durability. Metal ceiling boxes are usually made of metals such as steel, aluminum, and copper, which have good strength and durability and are suitable for industrial and commercial settings. For example, a metal ceiling fan box is a common accessory in the installation of home and commercial fans. Gypsum ceiling boxes are composed of gypsum and fiber materials, which have good sound insulation, absorption, fire resistance, and other properties and are suitable for homes and commercial places. Glass ceiling boxes are usually used for local decoration, and lighting fixtures can be installed inside. The characteristic of this material is that it is relatively fragile and difficult to clean.
