This makes the installation process difficult. For example, the plastic insulating profile will be deformed when fixed to the metal track, and the installation may be too tight, resulting in the inability to install. The operation is cumbersome, which increases working time and has low installation efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0034] The invention provides a track light assembly.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The track light assembly includes a track bar 10 and a conductive member 30. The track bar 10 has a mounting groove 11 extending along its length direction. The conductive member 30 includes a flexible substrate 31 and a flexible conductive strip 32 arranged on the flexible substrate 31. The flexible substrate 31 is arranged on the groove wall of the mounting groove 11. The flexible substrate 31 and the flexible conductive strip 32 both extend along the length direction of the mounting groove 11. The flexible conductive strip 32 is used for electrical connection of the lamp.

[0036] Specifically, the flexible conductive strip 32 is exposed outside the flexible substrate 31, and is used for the power connection end of the lamp to abut against and conduct electricity. The lamp can be installed in the mounting groove 11, or the lamp can be partially inserted into the mounting groove 11 to abut against the flexible conductive strip 32 for conduction. The track bar 10 can be a metal part or a plastic part. In one embodiment, the flexible conductive strip 32 and the flexible substrate 31 are connected as a whole, the flexible substrate 31 is an insulating part, and the flexible conductive strip 32 is arranged on the side of the flexible substrate 31 away from the groove wall of the mounting groove 11, and the groove wall of the mounting groove 11 refers to the groove wall in the mounting groove 11 for the flexible substrate 31 to connect. Of course, in other embodiments, the flexible substrate 31 may not be an insulating part, and the flexible conductive strip 32 is bonded to the flexible substrate 31 by an insulating adhesive.

[0037] The flexible substrate 31 may be made of various materials, such as polyimide, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), Nomex, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), etc. The flexible conductive strip 32 may also be made of various materials, such as copper foil, aluminum foil, copper-beryllium alloy foil, etc.

[0038] The technical solution of the present invention makes the conductive member 30 in the track bar 10 as a structure of a flexible substrate 31 and a flexible conductive strip 32 arranged on the flexible substrate 31, so that the conductive member 30 is relatively soft, and the conductive member 30 can be directly installed on the groove wall of the installation groove 11, and the installation process is simple. Compared with the structure in which the conductive member 30 is a copper column, there is no need to set a plastic insulating profile in the track bar 10, which avoids the deformation of the plastic insulating profile when it is fixed to the track bar, or the phenomenon that the plastic insulating profile and the track bar 10 are installed too tightly during installation, resulting in the inability to install. It is convenient to install the track light assembly, which is conducive to improving the installation efficiency of the track light assembly.

[0039] In one embodiment, the conductive member 30 is a flexible circuit board. Specifically, the flexible circuit board also has a flexible substrate 31 and a flexible conductive strip 32. Unlike conventional flexible circuit boards, the flexible conductive strip 32 on the flexible circuit board in this embodiment is exposed outside the flexible substrate 31 along the length direction, so that the power connection end of the lamp can abut against it for conduction. Since the flexible circuit board can be set to be thinner, the space occupied by the conductive member 30 in the installation groove 11 can be reduced, so that the overall size of the track bar 10 and the track light assembly can be set to be smaller, which can reduce costs.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 In one embodiment, the mounting groove 11 has a notch extending along its length direction, and the track light assembly further includes an adapter joint 20, which is detachably inserted into the mounting groove 11 from the notch of the mounting groove 11 and electrically connected to the conductive member 30. There are multiple track bars 10, and the adapter joint 20 on one track bar 10 is electrically connected to the adapter joint 20 on another adjacent track bar 10. Specifically, the adapter joint 20 includes an adapter seat 21 and a conductor 23 provided on the adapter seat 21, and the adapter seat 21 is detachably inserted into the mounting groove 11, and the conductor 23 abuts against the flexible conductive strip 32. The conductors 23 of the two adapter joints 20 are electrically connected through a connecting wire, that is, the two adapter joints 20 can be connected together, so that one adapter joint 20 can be inserted into one track bar 10, and the other adapter joint 20 can be inserted into another adjacent track bar 10, so that the electrical connection of the conductive members 30 in the two track bars 10 can be achieved. Since the adapter connector 20 is detachably connected to the track bar 10, the adapter connector 20 can be inserted into the installation slot 11 from any position of the slot of the installation slot 11 to draw power, which is equivalent to being able to connect another track bar 10 at any position in the length direction of a track bar 10, and it can also allow multiple track bars 10 to draw power from the same track bar 10, which can achieve flexible arrangement of multiple track bars 10, improve the flexibility of track light assembly installation, and greatly facilitate the later maintenance of the track light assembly. Of course, in other embodiments, the adapter seat 21 and the installation slot 11 can also be non-detachably connected.

[0041] There are many ways to connect the adapter 20 in the installation slot 11. For example, in one embodiment, the adapter 20 and the installation slot 11 are interference fit, that is, the adapter seat 21 and the installation slot 11 are interference fit, and the conductor 23 is in contact with the flexible conductive strip 32. This can reduce the possibility of the adapter 20 coming out of the installation slot 11 and ensure the reliability of the electrical connection between the adapter 20 and the conductive member 30. In one embodiment, a buckle 24 is provided on the adapter 20, that is, the adapter seat 21 is provided with a buckle 24, and a buckle position 12 is provided in the installation slot 11. When the adapter 20 is inserted into the installation slot 11, the buckle 24 is engaged with the buckle position 12, thereby limiting the adapter 20 from coming out of the notch of the installation slot 11. This can better achieve the fixing of the adapter 20, improve the stability of the adapter 20 installed in the installation slot 11, and improve the reliability of the electrical connection between the adapter 20 and the conductive member 30. The buckle position 12 may be disposed on a side wall of the installation slot 11 , or may be disposed on a bottom wall of the installation slot 11 .

[0042] To further ensure the installation reliability of the adapter connector 20, in one embodiment, there are multiple buckles 24, which are disposed on two opposite sides of the adapter connector 20, and there are multiple buckle positions 12. For example, two opposite side walls of the installation groove 11 are respectively provided with a buckle position 12 extending along the length direction, and each buckle 24 is engaged with the buckle position 12. In this way, both opposite sides of the adapter connector 20 can be engaged and fixed with the installation groove 11, thereby improving the fixing effect of the adapter connector 20. Among them, the number of buckles 24 can be two, three, four, five or six, etc., the number of buckles 24 on the two opposite sides of the adapter connector 20 can be the same or different, and the number of buckle positions 12 can be more than or equal to the number of buckles 24. The buckle 24 can be a convex structure, or a buckle structure with an elastic arm.

[0043] In order to further improve the installation flexibility of the track light assembly, in one embodiment, the adapter joint 20 is slidably connected to the mounting groove 11. Specifically, the side wall of the mounting groove 11 is provided with a buckle position 12, and the buckle position 12 extends in the length direction of the track bar 10 in a strip shape, so that the buckle position 12 forms a slide groove structure, and the buckle 24 is a convex structure, so that when the buckle 24 on the adapter joint 20 is buckled into the buckle position 12, the buckle 24 can slide along the extension direction of the buckle position 12, that is, the adapter joint 20 can slide along the length direction of the track bar 10. In this way, when the adapter joint 20 is inserted into the mounting groove 11, it is not necessary to remove the adapter joint 20 from the mounting groove 11, and the position of the adapter joint 20 in the length direction of the track bar 10 can be adjusted by sliding the adapter joint 20, which greatly facilitates the installation of the track light assembly. Moreover, through the structure of the buckle 24 and the buckle position 12, the adapter joint 20 can be limited and slid, which is beneficial to simplify the structure of the track bar 10 and the adapter joint 20, thereby helping to reduce the size of the track bar 10 and the adapter joint 20 and reduce the cost.

[0044] In one embodiment, the conductor 23 is an elastic member. In this way, when the adapter body 21 is inserted into the mounting slot 11, the conductor 23 can be compressed and deformed, so that the conductor 23 is in a compressed state and abuts against the flexible conductive strip 32. At this time, the conductor 23 has a tendency to elastically return to the flexible conductive strip 32, thereby ensuring that the conductor 23 is tightly abutted against the flexible conductive strip 32, so as to ensure the reliability of the electrical connection between the adapter connector 20 and the flexible conductive strip 32, and effectively avoid the occurrence of poor contact between the two. Among them, the conductor 23 can be a metal spring, or it can be a conductive rubber, etc. In addition, in other embodiments, a hard conductor can also be provided on the adapter body 21.

[0045] In one embodiment, the adapter connector 20 further includes a cover body 22. The adapter seat body 21 is provided with a receiving cavity 211 and a clearance notch communicating with the receiving cavity 211. The conductor 23 is provided in the receiving cavity 211. The cover body 22 covers the receiving cavity 211. The conductor 23 has an abutment portion 231 protruding from the clearance notch. The abutment portion 231 abuts against the conductive member 30 for conduction. Specifically, there are two conductive members 30, and the two conductive members 30 are respectively provided on two opposite side walls of the mounting groove 11. The adapter seat body 21 is plugged into the mounting groove 11. The two opposite sides of the adapter seat body 21 are respectively provided with clearance notches. There are two conductive members 23, and the abutment portions 231 of the two conductive members 23 extend from the clearance notches on the two opposite sides of the adapter seat body 21, respectively, to ensure that the abutment portion 231 can abut against the conductive member 30 in the mounting groove 11. The conductor 23 has at least two opposite sides abutting against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 211, and the abutting portion 231 is located between the two opposite sides of the conductor 23 to limit the conductor 23 from escaping from the clearance gap. Of course, the periphery of the conductor 23 surrounding the abutting portion 231 can also abut against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 211. Among them, the number of abutting portions 231 can be one or more, for example, the number of abutting portions 231 is two, three or four, etc. When there are multiple abutting portions 231, multiple abutting portions 231 are arranged along the sliding direction of the connecting seat, which can increase the contact area with the conductive member 30 and improve the reliability of electrical connection. In addition, the buckle 24 can be provided on the connecting seat body 51, and can also be provided on the cover body 22. In one embodiment, the adapter seat body 21 and the cover body 22 are detachably connected to facilitate the installation of the conductor 23 and the wires connecting the conductor 23 and the lamp. Among them, the adapter seat body 21 and the cover body 22 can be connected by snapping or screws. Of course, in other embodiments, the adapter body 21 and the cover body 22 may also be bonded together.

[0046] In one embodiment, the track light assembly further includes a connecting member 80 (refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 ), the connector 80 has a wire groove, the connector 80 is arranged between two adjacent track bars 10, and the two ends of the wire groove are respectively connected to the installation grooves 11 of the two track bars 10, and the wire groove is used to accommodate the connecting wires between the two adapters 20 to prevent the connecting wires between the two adapters 20 from being exposed. The connector 80 can be connected to the track bar 10 by screws, or the connector 80 is bonded to the track bar 10, or the end of the connector 80 is clamped in the installation groove 11.

[0047] Please refer to it again Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment, the number of the conductive members 30 is two, and the two conductive members 30 are disposed on the opposite side walls of the mounting groove 11. Specifically, the flexible substrates 31 of the two conductive members 30 are disposed on the opposite side walls of the mounting groove 11, and the flexible conductive strips 32 of the two conductive members 30 are disposed facing each other. This is equivalent to the two electrodes of the lamp being disposed on the two opposite sides of the power connection end, and the power connection end of the lamp is inserted between the two conductive members 30 to obtain electricity, which can achieve a better foolproof effect. Moreover, the flexible conductive strips 32 of the two conductive members 30 can be separated by a large distance, which can reduce the situation where the two flexible conductive strips 32 contact and short-circuit. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the conductive members 30 can also be only one, and the conductive member 30 includes two flexible conductive strips 32, and the two flexible conductive strips 32 are both disposed on the same flexible substrate 31, and the two flexible conductive strips 32 are disposed with an insulating interval. In addition, the conductive member 30 can also be disposed on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 11.

[0048] In one embodiment, the conductive member 30 is bonded to the groove wall of the mounting groove 11. This facilitates installation and helps improve the installation efficiency of the track light assembly. The conductive member 30 can be bonded to the groove wall of the mounting groove 11 by double-sided adhesive to facilitate disassembly, maintenance or replacement of the conductive member 30. Since the entire track bar 10 does not need to be replaced, the cost can be reduced. Alternatively, the conductive member 30 can be bonded to the groove wall of the mounting groove 11 by an adhesive, for example, the adhesive is an epoxy resin adhesive, a phenolic resin adhesive, a polyurethane, and the like.

[0049] In one embodiment, the side wall of the installation groove 11 is provided with a limiting groove 13, the limiting groove 13 extends along the length direction of the installation groove 11, and the conductive member 30 is arranged in the limiting groove 13. Specifically, the flexible substrate 31 is arranged at the bottom of the limiting groove 13, and the flexible conductive strip 32 faces the notch of the limiting groove 13, that is, the flexible conductive strip 32 is exposed from the notch of the limiting groove 13 to ensure that the power connection end of the lamp can abut against the flexible conductive strip 32. By setting the limiting groove 13, the conductive member 30 can be effectively limited, and the conductive member 30 can be effectively prevented from being offset. At the same time, the installation of the conductive member 30 can be positioned, which is conducive to improving the installation efficiency. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting groove 13 may not be provided.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 8In one embodiment, the track light assembly further includes an electrical connection seat 50, which is inserted into the mounting groove 11 from the notch of the mounting groove 11 and is electrically connected to the conductive member 30, and the electrical connection seat 50 is used to install the lamp. Specifically, the electrical connection seat 50 is detachably connected to the track bar 10, that is, the electrical connection seat 50 is detachably inserted into the mounting groove 11 from the notch of the mounting groove 11. The portion of the electrical connection seat 50 exposed outside the mounting groove 11 is used to install the lamp, and the lamp is detachably connected to the electrical connection seat 50, and the lamp is electrically connected to the flexible conductive strip 32 through the electrical connection seat 50. In this way, by setting the electrical connection seat 50, it is easy to disassemble and assemble the lamp, and the flexibility of the installation of the track light assembly is improved. Moreover, the electrical connection seat 50 can be inserted into the mounting groove 11 at any position of the notch of the mounting groove 11 to obtain electricity, that is, the lamp can be set at any position in the length direction of the track bar 10, which improves the flexibility of the lamp installation, and the user can also adjust the position of the lamp according to actual needs, which is convenient for the user to use. In one embodiment, the electrical connection base 50 is snapped into the buckle position 12 of the mounting groove 11, so that the electrical connection base 50 can be effectively limited and the connection reliability of the electrical connection base 50 can be improved. Of course, in other embodiments, the electrical connection base 50 and the mounting groove 11 can also be interference fit.

[0051] In one embodiment, the electrical connection seat 50 is slidably connected to the track bar 10. Specifically, the buckle position 12 in the mounting groove 11 forms a sliding groove structure, and the two opposite side walls of the mounting groove 11 are provided with buckle positions 12, and the two opposite sides of the electrical connection seat 50 are respectively provided with protrusions 511. When the electrical connection seat 50 is inserted into the mounting groove 11, the protrusions 511 are located in the mounting groove 11, and the protrusions 511 on the two opposite sides of the electrical connection seat 50 can be respectively inserted into the buckle positions 12 of the two opposite side walls of the mounting groove 11, and the protrusions 511 can slide in the buckle positions 12, so that the electrical connection seat 50 can slide in the mounting groove 11. When the electrical connection seat 50 is inserted into the mounting groove 11 in this way, there is no need to remove the electrical connection seat 50 from the mounting groove 11, and the position of the electrical connection seat 50 in the length direction of the track bar 10 can be adjusted by sliding the electrical connection seat 50, which greatly facilitates the user to adjust the position of the lamp. Moreover, through the structure of the protrusion 511 and the buckle 12, the electrical connection socket 50 can be limited and slid, which is beneficial to simplify the structure of the track bar 10 and the electrical connection socket 50, thereby helping to reduce the size of the track light assembly and reduce costs.

[0052] In one embodiment, the electrical connection base 50 includes a lamp holder 51 and an elastic conductive member 30 disposed on the lamp holder 51. The lamp holder 51 is inserted into the mounting groove 11. The elastic conductive member 30 is located in the mounting groove 11 and abuts against the conductive member 30 for electrical conduction. Specifically, the lamp holder 51 is detachably inserted into the mounting groove 11 from the notch of the mounting groove 11. The elastic conductive member 30 is located at the portion of the lamp holder 51 inserted into the mounting groove 11 so as to be electrically connected to the conductive member 30. When the lamp is installed on the electrical connection base 50, the lamp is electrically connected to the elastic conductive member 30, that is, the lamp is electrically connected to the flexible conductive strip 32 through the elastic conductive member 30. By providing the elastic conductive member 30, when the lamp holder 51 is inserted into the mounting groove 11, the elastic conductive member 30 can be compressed and deformed, so that when the elastic conductive member 30 is in a compressed state and abuts against the flexible conductive strip 32, the elastic conductive member 30 has a tendency to elastically recover toward the flexible conductive strip 32, thereby ensuring that the elastic conductive member 30 is tightly abutted against the flexible conductive strip 32, so as to ensure the reliability of the electrical connection between the electrical connection seat 50 and the conductive member 30, and effectively avoid the occurrence of poor contact between the two. Among them, the elastic conductive member 30 can be a metal spring or a conductive rubber. In addition, in other embodiments, a hard conductor can also be provided on the lamp holder 51. In one embodiment, the number of the conductive members 30 is two, and the two conductive members 30 are respectively arranged on the two opposite side walls of the mounting groove 11. That is, the flexible substrates 31 of the two conductive members 30 are respectively arranged on the two opposite side walls of the mounting groove 11, and an elastic conductive member 30 is respectively provided on the two opposite sides of the lamp holder 51, and the elastic conductive member 30 abuts against the two conductive members 30 respectively.

[0053] Please refer to it again Figure 2 In one embodiment, the track light assembly further includes a light strip 40, which is disposed at the bottom of the mounting groove 11 and is electrically connected to the conductive member 30. Specifically, the light strip 40 extends along the length direction of the mounting groove 11 and is laid at the bottom of the mounting groove 11, and is electrically connected to the flexible conductive strip 32, so that the entire track bar 10 can be formed into a light-emitting strip lamp, which is convenient for users to use. In addition, in one embodiment, when the conductive member 30 is disposed on the side wall of the mounting groove 11, the light strip 40 and the electrical connection seat 50 can be installed at the same time, so that the track light assembly has both the effect of a strip lamp and the function of a spotlight, which can meet a variety of usage conditions at the same time and greatly facilitate users to use.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 2 and Fig. 9In one embodiment, the track light assembly further includes a connection terminal 60, the connection terminal 60 is electrically connected to the conductive member 30, and the light strip 40 is electrically connected to the connection terminal 60. The light strip 40 is mounted on the connection terminal 60 and electrically connected to the connection terminal 60. By electrically connecting the connection terminal 60 to the flexible conductive strip 32, the light strip 40 can be powered. Compared with the method of directly contacting the electrical connection end of the light strip 40 with the conductive member 30 for electrical conduction, this method can facilitate the installation of the light strip 40. Of course, in other embodiments, the electrical connection end of the light strip 40 can also be welded or bonded to the conductive member 30 by conductive adhesive.

[0055] In one embodiment, the light strip 40 and the connection terminal 60 are detachably connected, so that the light strip 40 can be cut according to the actual needs of on-site installation, which can facilitate on-site installation of the light strip 40 and facilitate replacement of the light strip 40 when the light strip 40 fails or is damaged. Of course, in other embodiments, the light strip 40 and the connection terminal 60 can also be non-detachably connected.

[0056] There are many ways to electrically connect the connection terminal 60 to the conductive member 30. For example, in one embodiment, the connection terminal 60 is in contact with the flexible conductive strip 32 for electrical conduction. Specifically, the connection terminal 60 is clamped in the mounting groove 11 and is in contact with the conductive flexible conductive strip 32 for electrical conduction. In this way, the connection terminal 60 and the light strip 40 can be installed independently, which is convenient for installation. In another embodiment, the connection terminal 60 is connected to the adapter connector 20 and is electrically connected to the adapter connector 20. Although the adapter connector 20 can be slidably connected to the mounting groove 11, after the track light assembly is installed, during the use of the track light, the relative position of the adapter connector 20 and the mounting groove 11 is fixed, for example, the adapter connector 20 is located at the end of the mounting groove 11. Since at least one adapter connector 20 is provided at the end of the track bar 10, by connecting the connection terminal 60 to the adapter connector 20, it is equivalent to ensuring that one end of the light strip 40 is located at the end of the track bar 10 when the adapter connector 20 is installed, which can facilitate the installation of the light strip 40. The connection terminal 60 and the adapter connector 20 may be detachably connected or non-detachably connected.

[0057] Please refer to it again Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment, the track light assembly further includes a light-transmitting cover 70, which is in the shape of an elongated strip and covers the mounting slot 11. Specifically, the light-transmitting cover 70 covers the slot of the mounting slot 11, and the light generated by the light strip 40 can be emitted through the light-transmitting cover 70. By providing the light-transmitting cover 70, the light irradiated by the light strip 40 can be made softer, thereby reducing damage to the human eye. Moreover, the light-transmitting cover 70 can also provide better protection for the conductive member 30 and the light strip 40 in the mounting slot 11. Among them, the light-transmitting cover 70 can be completely transparent or translucent. In addition, the light-transmitting cover 70 can also be made of plastic or glass. For example, the light-transmitting cover 70 can be made of acrylic (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), etc.

[0058] In one embodiment, the light-transmitting cover 70 is snapped into the mounting groove 11. Specifically, buckles 12 are provided on two opposite side walls of the mounting groove 11, and the light-transmitting cover 70 is snapped into the buckles 12 on the two opposite side walls of the mounting groove 11. This makes it easy to disassemble and assemble the light-transmitting cover 70, and also makes it easy to maintain or replace the light strip 40, which is convenient for users to use. Of course, in other embodiments, the light-transmitting cover 70 can also be connected to the track bar 10 by screws, or bonded to the track bar 10. In an embodiment in which an adapter joint 20 is provided, the adapter joint 20 can be provided in the mounting groove 11, and the light-transmitting cover 70 can be provided to cover the adapter joint 20. This can further ensure the reliability of the adapter joint 20 being fixed in the mounting groove 11, and the light-transmitting cover 70 can also effectively protect the adapter joint 20. In the embodiment where the electrical connection socket 50 is provided, a notch can be provided at the portion of the light-transmitting cover 70 corresponding to the electrical connection socket 50 , or two sections of light-transmitting cover 70 can be provided on the track bar 10 where the electrical connection socket 50 is provided, so that the two sections of light-transmitting cover 70 are respectively on both sides of the electrical connection socket 50 .

[0059] The track light assembly in the technical solution of the present invention can be applied to a cabinet for decorative lighting of the cabinet, and the light strip 40 can be installed in the installation groove 11, so that the track bar 10 as a whole forms a light-emitting strip lamp, and an electrical connection seat 50 can be set on the track bar 10, and a spotlight is formed after the lamp is installed on the electrical connection seat 50, and the electrical connection seat 50 can be slid along the length direction of the track bar 10, so that the position of the spotlight can be easily adjusted. It can meet the application requirements of user ambient lighting and key lighting at the same time. In addition, the two track bars 10 can be conductively connected through the adapter 20. Since the adapter 20 can slide in the length direction in the installation groove 11, the other track bar 10 can be connected at any position in the length direction of the track bar 10, so as to realize the power supply of the other track bar 10, and improve the flexibility of the arrangement and installation of the track light assembly. In addition, the track light assembly can also power other electrical equipment in the cabinet, for example, by electrically connecting other electrical equipment to the adapter 20, which solves the complex process of laying multiple wires and drilling holes for wiring behind the cabinet in the market. It improves the cabinet manufacturers and users' quick installation and easy after-sales maintenance.
