[0029] The following is a further detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention based on the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the description of the embodiments of the present invention herein is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the interconnected wire trough 1000 of this embodiment includes a trough body 100 extending along the length direction and a wire assembly 200 installed in the trough body 100. One end of the trough body 100 is provided with an interconnection mechanism 300 for connecting to the next interconnected wire trough 1000. The wire assembly 200 includes a wire 201 extending along the length direction of the trough body and at least two connectors 202 arranged on the wire 201.

[0031] Wire 201 is used to direct electricity to connector 202 to power the lamp. Both ends of wire 201 are electrically connected to an external power source or to another interconnected wire duct 1000. Multiple interconnected wire ducts 1000 are interconnected to form a spatial power supply with a certain length, suitable for applications such as lighting that need to power multiple electrical devices. The number of wires 201 can be set according to the lighting control needs.

[0032] Each interconnected wire duct 1000 is provided with at least two connectors 202, thereby accommodating the installation of lamps of different lengths. The connectors 202 can be standard components such as sockets and plugs, which are not described here. For ease of installation, the connectors 202 are installed perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0033] To enable rapid, seamless installation of the lamp, in this embodiment, the connectors 202 are evenly spaced along the length, with the distance between adjacent connectors 202 being H. The connector 202 closest to the end of the trough body 100 is spaced K from the end, where K = 0.5H. After interconnecting multiple interconnected wire ducts 1000 in this arrangement, adjacent connectors 202 are evenly spaced. In this case, as long as the lamp frame length is set to an integer multiple of H, seamless installation can be achieved within the interconnected wire ducts 1000, improving aesthetics.

[0034] To facilitate removal of one interconnected wire duct 1000 after multiple interconnected wire ducts 1000 are installed, in this embodiment, the interconnection mechanism 300 is detachably connected to the duct body 100. By simply removing an interconnection mechanism 300 and accessing the connection between adjacent interconnection mechanisms 300, the corresponding section of the interconnected wire duct 1000 can be removed.

[0035] The trough body 100 extends along the length direction. The profile is a common structure. Generally, steel with good strength is selected. The cross-section can be designed as needed, such as an I-shaped profile, a U-shaped profile, etc. In this embodiment, the trough body 100 is a U-shaped profile, including a bottom 101 and two opposite sides 102. The wire 101 is arranged at the bottom 101, and the plug-in direction of the connector 102 is toward the installation port 103 of the trough body 100.

[0036] In order to simplify the structure, the interconnection mechanism 300 of this embodiment is a connecting plate, which is generally made of steel with good strength, including an inner plate 301 that extends into the slot body 100 and is fixed, and an outer plate 302 that extends out of the slot body 100 for connecting to the next interconnected wire slot 1000.

[0037] To facilitate quick installation of the interconnection mechanism 300, its cross-section is similar to that of the tank body 100 and can be inserted into the tank body 100. When the interconnection mechanism 300 and the tank body 100 have similar cross-sections, the interconnection mechanism 300 can be inserted into the installation opening 103 against the inner wall of the tank body 100 and secured by tightening the overlapping areas. Similar cross-sections refer to being substantially identical, ensuring that the outer surface of the interconnection mechanism 300 and the inner surface of the tank body 100 are close together.

[0038] In order to facilitate the fixing of the interconnected wire duct 1000 to the ceiling, the side portion 102 of this embodiment is formed inwardly with a first necking section 1021. The first necking section 1021 can be used to install the buckle 400, which is provided with a connection hole for connecting the ceiling rope.

[0039] The first necking section 1021 can be provided at any position of the side portion 102 . In this embodiment, the first necking section 1021 is a groove close to the bottom 101 .

[0040] In this embodiment, the side portion 102 is folded inward away from the top edge of the bottom portion 101 to form a clamping edge 1022. The clamping edge 1022 is used to fix the lamp.

[0041] There are many ways to secure the interconnection mechanism 300 to the trough body 100. Through holes can be provided at the overlapped portion and then secured with screws. In this embodiment, the inner plate 301 is positioned adjacent to the bottom 101. Both sides of the inner plate 301 are provided with flanges 3011 located above the first necked section 1021. The inner plate 301 is provided with a first screw hole 303 and a first locking screw 304 that engages with the first screw hole 303. The head of the first locking screw 304 abuts against the bottom 101, and a reverse force forces the flanges 3011 to abut against the first necked section 1021. After the first locking screw 304 is tightened in the first screw hole 303, it abuts against the bottom 101, and the flanges 3011 of the inner plate 301 abut against the first necked section 1021. This secures the interconnection mechanism 300 to the trough body 100 in the longitudinal direction through multiple frictional forces. This arrangement prevents damage to the interconnection mechanism 300 and the trough body 100. Multiple groups of first locking screws 304 and first screw holes 303 may be provided along the length direction. In this embodiment, two groups are provided.

[0042] The edge of the first screw hole 303 is arched away from the bottom 101 to provide more installation space for the first locking screw 304 .

[0043] The outer plate 302 is similarly secured to the adjacent trough 100. In this embodiment, the outer plate 302 is provided with second screw holes 305 and second locking screws 306 that mate with the second screw holes 305. Multiple sets of second screw holes 305 and second locking screws 306 can be provided along the length; in this embodiment, two sets are provided. The edges of the second screw holes 305 are arched away from the bottom 101 to provide more space for the second locking screws 306 to be installed. The outer plate 302 also has flanges 3011 on both sides to mate with the adjacent trough 100.

[0044] In order to enable rapid interconnection and disconnection of power, interconnection plugs 203 are provided at both ends of the wire 201 .

[0045] like Figure 6 and 7 As shown, the spatial lighting system of this embodiment includes two interconnected wire ducts 1000. Furthermore, the system further includes at least two first lamps 2000 and second lamps 3000 mounted on the interconnected wire ducts 1000, wherein the first lamp 2000 includes a first strip-shaped lamp holder 2001 having a length of 2nK, and the second lamp 3000 includes a second strip-shaped lamp holder 3001 having a length of 2mK. The first strip-shaped lamp holder 2001 and the second strip-shaped lamp holder 3001 are seamlessly connected, where m and n are positive integers.

[0046] In this embodiment, the interconnected wire duct 1000 has a length of 3H. When the two interconnected wire ducts 1000 are interconnected, the length is 6H. The first lamp 2000 is a linear light source, which covers the outer surface of the first strip light holder 2001. The length of the first strip light holder 2001 is 3H. The second lamp 3000 is a spotlight, including a second strip light holder 3001 and a lamp body mounted on the second strip light holder 3001. The length of the second strip light holder 3001 is H. After the interconnected wire duct 1000 is seamlessly installed, the first strip light holder 2001 is seamlessly installed, thereby achieving a seamless connection between light holders of different lengths. The backs of the first strip light holder 2001 and the second strip light holder 3001 are both provided with plug-ins that mate with the connector 202. The installation of the first strip light holder 2001 and the second strip light holder 3001 with the two interconnected wire ducts 1000 can adopt existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
