[0002] Currently, the power supply for the shelves is mainly located at the back of the shelves, powering the LED lights through interconnecting wires. This power supply method often requires perforations in the shelves or routing the wires from the back of the shelves to the front, making installation inconvenient and maintenance difficult. If multiple LED lights are installed on the shelves, it will result in multiple messy and crisscrossing wires, taking up a lot of space and affecting the overall aesthetics of the shelves and the display effect of the goods.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies utilize power supply rails to extract power from different locations. Typically, a power supply rail includes a rail body and conductive strips mounted on it, with a power supply head that engages with the rail to provide power. The main installation methods include surface-mount mounting and insertion into the shelf uprights. However, surface-mount mounting still presents the problem of exposure, and for some shelves without uprights, internal installation is not feasible. Therefore, a power supply system that can be embedded into the shelf is needed to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0040] The following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention is 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.

[0041] like Figures 1-12 As shown, the embedded shelf power supply system of this embodiment includes a power supply rail 100 and a power supply component 200 disposed on the power supply rail 100. In this embodiment, the power supply rail 100 provides power while also providing support for fixing the shelf.

[0042] The power supply track 100 includes two strip baffles 101, a base plate 102, and two strip conductive elements 103. The two strip baffles 101 are arranged opposite to each other. In this embodiment, the two strip baffles 101 are arranged in parallel or at a certain angle. The base plate 102 is located on the same side of the two strip baffles 101 and connects the two strip baffles 101. The two strip conductive elements 103 are respectively disposed on the inner side of the two strip baffles 101. The power extraction assembly 200 includes a shelf fixing member 201, a power extraction mounting base 202, two elastic power extraction components 203, and an external connector 204. The shelf fixing member 201 is fixedly connected to the power supply rail 100, thereby fixing the shelf 300. There are many connection methods, and this embodiment uses a screw locking method. The power extraction mounting base 202 is fixed on the shelf fixing member 201 and has a socket 2021 for inserting between two strip-shaped baffles 101. The two elastic power extraction components 203 are disposed in the power extraction mounting base 202. Each elastic power extraction component 203 includes a fixing part 2031 disposed on the power extraction mounting base 202 and an elastic part 2032 extending from the fixing part 2031 to the socket 2021. The two elastic parts 2032 are respectively disposed on both sides of the socket 2021 and abut against the strip-shaped conductive component 103. The external connector 204 is electrically connected to the elastic power extraction component 203. The electrical connection can be made by welding or plugging. While the shelf fixing member 201 is fixedly connected to the power supply rail 100, the socket 2021 is inserted between the two strip baffles 101, so that the two elastic parts 2032 respectively abut against the two strip conductive members 103, allowing the power supply rail 100 to transmit power to the external connector 204. Additionally, end caps 104 and inlet plugs 105 are provided at both ends of the power supply rail 100; existing technology can be used, and details are omitted here. The external connector 204 can be a socket or a plug, with or without wires; existing technology can be used, and details are omitted here.

[0043] Furthermore, the base plate 102 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes 1021 distributed along its length, and the shelf fixing member 201 is provided with hooks 2011 that cooperate with the connecting holes 1021. The hooks 2011 pass through the connecting holes 1021 between the two strip baffles 101. Due to the gravity of the shelf 300, the hooks 2011 abut against the back of the base plate 102, thereby achieving a fixed installation. During the above process, the socket 2021 is simultaneously inserted between the two strip baffles 101, so that the two elastic parts 2032 abut against the two strip conductive members 103 respectively, allowing the power supply rail 100 to transmit power to the external connector 204.

[0044] Furthermore, the outer side of the strip baffle 101 is provided with an outwardly extending first fixing plate 1022. The first fixing plate 1022, the two strip baffles 101, and the base plate 102 can be integrally formed. The first fixing plate 1022 abuts against the back of the wall panel 400 to be installed, and is then fixed by fasteners.

[0045] Furthermore, a second fixing plate 1023 extending outward is provided on the outer side of the base plate 102. The second fixing plate 1023, the first fixing plate 1022, the two strip baffles 101, and the base plate 102 can be integrally formed. The second fixing plate 1023 can be fixedly connected to other building materials behind the wall panel 400, further improving the overall sturdiness.

[0046] Furthermore, the inner side of the strip baffle 101 is provided with an inclined guide section 1011, and the two guide sections 1011 form a guide constriction 1012. The guide constriction 1012 can guide the socket 2021 to enter more easily.

[0047] To improve the installation stability of the shelf 300 and prevent lateral swaying, the power-collecting mounting base 202 further includes a strip-shaped positioning member 2023 that engages with the guide constriction 1012. The strip-shaped positioning member 2023 extends along the length of the power supply track 100 and has two positioning inclined surfaces 2024 that abut against the two guide sections 1011. The strip-shaped positioning member 2023 can restrict the movement of the power-collecting assembly 200 in a plane perpendicular to the length of the power supply track 100, thereby stabilizing the shelf 300 mounted on the power-collecting assembly 200.

[0048] Furthermore, the strip baffle 101 is made of metal, and the power supply track 100 also includes a strip insulating liner 106 disposed on the inner side of the strip baffle 101, with the strip conductive element 103 disposed on the strip insulating liner 106. Metal has better strength than materials such as plastic and is easier to manufacture. The cross-section of the strip conductive element 103 can be of any shape; in this embodiment, the strip conductive element 103 is sheet-like, providing a larger contact surface.

[0049] Furthermore, the socket 2021 has a hollow shell structure with telescopic openings 2022 on both sides for the elastic part 2032 to extend out. The shell structure can better fix the elastic part 2032, while the telescopic openings 2022 allow the elastic part 2032 to partially extend out and make electrical contact with the strip conductive member 103.

[0050] Specifically, the power supply mounting base 202 in this embodiment includes an upper housing 2026 and a lower housing 2027 that are fastened together. A slot mounting fixing part 2031 can be provided between the upper housing 2026 and the lower housing 2027. How to achieve fixing is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0051] Furthermore, the fixing part 2031 and the elastic part 2032 are integrally formed spring pieces, and the elastic part 2032 is formed by extending the fixing part 2031 to the socket 2021. The elastic part 2032 can also be in other forms, such as a spring pin, including a spring and a pin, which is prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0052] Furthermore, the elastic part 2032 is provided with outwardly protruding hemispherical protrusions 2033 as contact points. The hemispherical protrusions 2033 are formed by multiple stamping processes, which ensures the contact area while improving reliability. This non-destructive connection effectively solves the problem of poor contact and contact failure caused by long-term and repeated disassembly and assembly.

[0053] Furthermore, the elastic portion 2032 extends inward at an angle from the fixing portion 2031, and then bends outward near the socket 2021. This structure can improve the elasticity of the elastic portion 2032.

[0054] Furthermore, the socket 2021 has positioning walls 2025 extending along the length of the power supply track 100 on both sides. The positioning walls 2025 can restrict the movement of the power taking component 200 in a plane perpendicular to the length of the power supply track 100, thereby stabilizing the shelf 300 mounted on the power taking component 200.

[0055] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements within the spirit of the present invention are covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
