Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lighting, and in particular to a track adapter, a track and an electrical system. Background Art

[0002] Track lights mainly include a track (conductive track) fixed on the ceiling or wall and various lamps that can slide along the track, which can be spotlights, linear lights, etc.

[0003] At present, most track lights on the market are magnetic track lights, and the lamp body is directly connected to the track by magnetic force, which is convenient and fast to install. However, during the use of track lights, the stability of only relying on magnetic attraction connection is not strong. If the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic components disappears, or the weight of the light-emitting module is large, the track adapter may be separated from the track, posing a safety hazard of the track light falling off.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a track adapter, a track and an electrical system to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0051] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0052] Here, it should be noted that in order to avoid obscuring the present invention due to unnecessary details, only the structures and / or processing steps closely related to the solution of the present invention are shown in the drawings, while other details less related to the present invention are omitted.

[0053] In addition, it should also be noted that the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non - exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0054] Embodiment 1

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1-9 and in combination with Figure 10-12 as shown, the track adapter 100 of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. The track adapter 100 is used to couple an electrical device (not shown) to the track 200 along a first direction. The track adapter 100 includes a housing 110, a sliding side cover 120 and an elastic component 130. Through the cooperation of the sliding side cover 120 and the elastic component 130, the track adapter 100 coupled with the electrical device can be quickly installed on the track 200, and the connection stability between the track adapter 100 and the track 200 can be improved. When it is necessary to disassemble the track adapter 100, through the cooperation of the sliding side cover 120 and the elastic component 130, the track adapter 200 can also be quickly disassembled from the track 200, which is convenient and fast, reduces the difficulty of installation and disassembly, and improves the installation and disassembly efficiency.

[0056] The sliding side cover 120 is slidably connected to the end of the housing 110 along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The elastic component 130 is fixedly connected inside the housing 110. The elastic component 130 includes an elastic body 131 and two elastic blocks 133 disposed on both sides of the elastic body 131. Two elastic block chutes 1121 are respectively provided on the side wall 112 of the housing 110 at positions corresponding to the two elastic blocks 133. The elastic component 130 cooperates with the sliding side cover 120 and is configured to be pushed by the sliding side cover 120 along the second direction to drive the two elastic blocks 133 to move towards each other along a third direction, so as to slide out of the elastic block chutes 1121, and move away from each other along the third direction to slide into the elastic block chutes 1121 after the thrust disappears, where the third direction is perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction. In other words, when there is a thrust to drive the sliding side cover 120, such that the sliding side cover 120 applies a thrust to the elastic component 130 along the second direction, causing the elastic component 130 to deform, and then the two elastic blocks 133 move in a direction approaching each other along the third direction, so as to slide out of the elastic block chutes 1121. At this time, the elastic blocks 133 are in a retracted state, facilitating the quick coupling of the rail adapter 100 to the rail 200 or the decoupling from the rail 200. When the thrust disappears or there is no thrust, the two elastic blocks 133 move away from each other along the third direction under the action of the self-elastic force of the elastic component 130, so as to slide into the elastic block chutes 1121. At this time, the elastic blocks 133 are in an extended state, facilitating the abutment against the anti-disengagement boss 230 extending along the third direction on the rail 100, improving the connection stability between the rail 200 and the rail adapter 100.

[0057] Optionally, the first direction is the height direction of the rail 200 or the rail adapter 100, the second direction is the length direction of the rail 200 or the rail adapter 100, and the third direction is the width direction of the rail 200 or the rail adapter 100. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other in pairs.

[0058] It can be known that the switching of the elastic blocks 133 between the extended state and the retracted state can be manually controlled or automatically controlled by a control device. That is to say, the movement of the sliding side cover 120 along the second direction towards the elastic component 130 can be manually controlled or automatically controlled, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the housing 110 includes a top wall 111 and a bottom wall 113 extending in the length direction, a pair of side walls 112 connecting the top wall 111 and the bottom wall 113 and extending in the length direction, and two opposite ends connecting the top wall 111 and the bottom wall 113 and extending in the width direction. The bottom wall 113, the side walls 112 and the ends enclose a lower trough body, and the lower trough body has an installation space 114 for accommodating electrical components, the elastic component 130, etc.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 and in combination with Figure 7-8 As shown, in an alternative embodiment, the top wall 111 and the lower trough body are separately provided. A support leg 1111 extends from the side of the top wall 111 facing the lower trough body towards the lower trough body. A hook 1112 is formed on the support leg 1111 extending towards the side wall 112 of the lower trough body. A bayonet 1122 is provided at the position of the side wall 112 of the lower trough body corresponding to the hook 1112. The hook 1112 cooperates with the bayonet 1122 to fixedly connect the top wall 111 and the lower trough body. In other embodiments, the hook 1112 can also be provided on the lower trough body, and the bayonet 1122 can be provided on the support leg 1111 of the top wall 111, or the top wall 111 and the lower trough body can be fixedly connected by other means, or the housing 110 can also be integrally formed. The present invention does not limit this.

[0061] A fixing portion 1131 is provided on the bottom wall 113 of the housing 110, that is, the fixing portion 1131 is provided at the bottom of the housing 110 for fixing and limiting the elastic component 130 within the housing 110. In an alternative embodiment, the fixing portion 1131 is cylindrical and extends from the bottom wall 113 of the housing 110 towards the top wall 111. The elastic main body 131 of the elastic component 130 is sleeved on the fixing portion 1131 to limit and fix the elastic main body 131 within the housing 110, preventing the elastic main body 131 from moving left and right or back and forth within the housing 110 under the drive of the sliding side cover 120, thereby affecting the sliding of the elastic blocks 133 on both sides of the elastic main body 131 into or out of the elastic block chute 1121. Further, a plurality of height increasing blocks 1132 are provided on the peripheral wall of the fixing portion 1131 close to the bottom wall 113. The plurality of height increasing blocks 1132 are uniformly arranged along the peripheral wall of the fixing portion 1131, so that the elastic main body 131 has a certain space from the bottom wall 113, and further enables the elastic blocks 133 on both sides of the elastic main body 131 to have a certain space from the bottom wall 113, thus facilitating the sliding of the elastic blocks 133 into or out of the elastic block chute 1121.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 5 and in combination with Figure 7-8As shown, the elastic component 130 is disposed on the fixing portion 1131 and includes an elastic main body 131 and elastic blocks 133 disposed on both sides of the elastic main body 131. The elastic main body 131 includes a mounting portion 134 fixedly connected to the fixing portion 1131, and two symmetrically arranged elastic arms 132 extending obliquely outward from the mounting portion. The elastic blocks 133 are disposed at the ends of the elastic arms 132 away from the elastic main body 131 and are integrally formed with the elastic main body 131 to save the number of parts and reduce the assembly difficulty.

[0063] In an alternative embodiment, the elastic main body 131 is a torsion spring. The center of the torsion spring, i.e., the mounting portion 134, is annular, and the fixing portion 1131 is cylindrical. The mounting portion 134 is sleeved on the fixing portion 1131. The two elastic arms 132 of the torsion spring are symmetrically arranged with respect to the fixing portion 1131. Elastic blocks 133 are formed at the ends of the two elastic arms 132 away from the center of the torsion spring by a die-casting and encapsulation process to reduce the number of parts of the elastic component 130 and the material and assembly costs. At the same time, by utilizing the performance of the torsion spring itself, the two elastic arms 132 can drive the two elastic blocks 133 located at the ends of the elastic arms 132 to approach or move away from each other. Since the elastic main body 131 is fixed to the fixing portion 1131, when the two support plates 1221 of the sliding side cover 110 apply a thrust force in the second direction to the elastic arms 132, the two elastic arms 132 approach each other, and then drive the two elastic blocks 133 located at the ends of the two elastic arms 132 away from the elastic main body 131 to approach each other, so that the elastic blocks 133 slide out of the elastic block chute 1121. When the thrust force disappears, the two elastic arms 132 automatically recover their deformation. The two support plates 1221 of the sliding side cover 110 are driven by the restoring elastic force of the two elastic arms 132 to move in a direction away from the thrust force, so that the sliding side cover 110 returns to its initial state. At the same time, the two elastic arms 132 drive the two elastic blocks 133 located at the ends of the two elastic arms 132 away from the elastic main body 131 to move away from each other, and the elastic blocks 133 automatically slide into the elastic block chute 1121. Due to the elastic force of the torsion spring, the connection between the elastic block 133 and the elastic block chute 1121 is more stable. In other embodiments, the elastic component 130 may also be other elastic members, or the elastic main body 131 and the elastic blocks 133 are separately provided and then assembled, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0064] Optionally, the elastic block 133 is disposed away from the sliding side cover 120 relative to the elastic main body 131, that is, the elastic block 133 is disposed away from the sliding side cover 120 relative to the fixing portion 1131. When the sliding side cover 120 applies a thrust to the elastic arm 132 in the second direction, the elastic blocks 133 move towards each other in the direction close to the fixing portion 1131. An inclined surface 1331 is provided on one side of the elastic block 133 close to the elastic block chute 1121, and the inclined surface 1331 is inclined from the end close to the elastic block chute 1121 to the end away from the sliding side cover 120. That is, the inclined surface 1331 is disposed away from the sliding side cover 120. With such a setting, when the sliding side cover 120 gives a thrust to the elastic arm 132 in the second direction, the two elastic arms 132 move towards each other. At this time, the side of the elastic block 133 away from the sliding side cover 120 contacts the elastic block chute 1121. The setting of the inclined surface 1331 can facilitate the elastic block 133 to slide out of the elastic block chute 1121 and contract into the installation space 114 of the housing 110. When the thrust disappears, the elastic arms 132 move away from each other under the action of the restoring elastic force of the elastic component 130 itself. At this time, the setting of the inclined surface 1331 also facilitates the elastic block 133 to slide into the elastic block chute 1121 and be exposed outside the housing 110, so as to facilitate abutting against the anti - detachment boss 230 on the track 100, and improve the connection stability between the track 200 and the track adapter 100.

[0065] Optionally, in the length direction of the housing 110, the length of the elastic block chute 1121 is slightly greater than the length of the elastic block 133, so as to provide a certain moving space for the elastic block 133 to slide into or out of the elastic block chute 1121, facilitating the sliding in or out of the elastic block 133.

[0066] To facilitate driving the elastic block 133 to slide out of or into the elastic block chute 1121, the track adapter 100 of the present invention further includes a sliding side cover 120. The sliding side cover 120 is slidably connected to the end of the housing 110 and at least partially received in the installation space 114. In other words, the sliding side cover 120 is partially exposed at the end of the housing 110, so as to facilitate applying a thrust to the sliding side cover 120. The sliding side cover 120 is slidably connected to the housing 110 in the second direction, thereby driving the elastic arm 132 of the elastic component 130 to deform, and further enabling the elastic block 133 to slide into or out of the elastic block chute 1121.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 6-8As shown, the sliding side cover 120 includes a pressing portion 121 exposed outside the housing 110, a sliding limiting portion 122 received in the installation space 114, and a limiting wall 123 located between the sliding limiting portion 122 and the pressing portion 121 for limiting the sliding side cover 120. The pressing portion 121 is exposed outside the housing 110 to facilitate applying a thrust force to the sliding side cover 120. The limiting wall 123 extends from the top of the pressing portion 121 towards the top wall 111 and is received in the installation space 114 for limiting the sliding side cover 120 to prevent the elastic component 130 from restoring deformation after the thrust force disappears, and the sliding side cover 120 moves away from the elastic component 130 under the driving of the restoring elastic force of the elastic component 130 and falls off from the end of the housing 110. The sliding limiting portion 122 is received in the installation space 114, fixedly connected to the pressing portion 121, and is disposed relatively closer to the fixing portion 1131 than the pressing portion 121, so that after the pressing portion 121 receives a thrust force, it drives the sliding limiting portion 122 to contact the outer surfaces of the two elastic arms 132 of the elastic component 130, thereby causing the two elastic arms 132 to deform and driving the elastic block 133 to slide out of the elastic block chute 1121. In this embodiment, the pressing portion 121, the sliding limiting portion 122, and the limiting wall 123 are integrally formed. In other embodiments, the pressing portion 121 and the sliding limiting portion 122 may also be separately provided. The present invention does not limit this, as long as the pressing portion 121 and the sliding limiting portion 122 are fixedly connected and can drive the sliding limiting portion 122 to move.

[0068] The sliding limiting part 122 includes two oppositely arranged support plates 1221 and a connecting plate 1222 located above the support plates 1221 for connecting the support plates 1221. A receiving groove 1223 is formed by surrounding the support plates 1221 and the connecting plate 1222. A channel is formed between the two support plates 1221 of the receiving groove 1223, and this channel is used to make way for the fixing part 1131, so as to avoid collision between the sliding limiting part 122 and the fixing part 1131 when the sliding limiting part 122 moves towards the direction close to the fixing part 1131, and thus it cannot act on the elastic arm 132 of the elastic component 130. At the same time, the connecting plate 1222 of the receiving groove 1223 can limit the installation part 134 of the elastic component 130 in the first direction, so as to avoid the installation part 134 detaching from the fixing part 1131 due to too large a thrust received by the elastic arm 132 of the elastic component 130. The distance between the two support plates 1221 of the sliding limiting part 122 is greater than the width of the fixing part 1131 and less than the distance between the two elastic arms 132 in the free state. With such a setting, the sliding limiting part 122 can both avoid the fixing part 1131 and interact with the outer surface of the elastic arm 132 of the elastic component 130. When the sliding limiting part 122 moves towards the elastic component 130, the fixing part 1131 can be received in the receiving groove 1223 to avoid collision, and at the same time, limit the elastic component 130 in the first direction. The two support plates 1221 of the sliding limiting part 122 cooperate with the two elastic arms 132 of the elastic component 130 to drive the elastic block 133 to slide out of or into the elastic block sliding groove 1121.

[0069] When a thrust is applied to the sliding side cover 120 in the second direction, the sliding limit portion 122 moves in the second direction, and the mounting portion 134 of the elastic component 130 is received in the receiving groove 1223. The two support plates 1221 move in the second direction and apply a thrust to the outer surfaces of the two elastic arms 132, thereby driving the two elastic arms 132 to move towards each other in the third direction, and driving the elastic blocks 133 located at the ends of the elastic arms 132 away from the sliding side cover 120 to move towards each other in the third direction, so as to slide out of the elastic block chute 1121. At this time, the elastic component 130 is deformed under the action of the thrust. Since in the first direction, the plane where the lowest point of the connecting plate 1222 is located is higher than the plane where the highest point of the fixing portion 1131 is located, that is, in the first direction, the connecting plate 1222 is located above the fixing portion 1131. When the two support plates 1221 cooperate with the two elastic arms 132 to drive the two elastic blocks 133 to slide out of the elastic block chute 1121, the connecting plate 1222 covers above the fixing portion 1131 to limit and fix the mounting portion 134 of the elastic component 130 on the fixing portion 1131 in the first direction, preventing the mounting portion 134 of the elastic component 130 from falling off the fixing portion 1131. After the thrust disappears, under the action of the restoring elastic force of the two elastic arms 132, the sliding limit portion 122 is driven to move in the reverse direction in the second direction. The two support plates 1221 of the sliding limit portion 122 are separated from the two elastic arms 132 and move in the direction away from the thrust, so that the sliding side cover 110 returns to its initial state. At the same time, the two elastic arms 132 are separated from the two support plates 1221, the two elastic arms 132 return to their original states, and drive the two elastic blocks 133 to slide into the elastic block chute 1121.

[0070] To limit the moving distance of the sliding side cover 120 in the second direction within the housing 110, the housing 110 further includes a limiting rib 115. The limiting rib 115 is configured to limit the moving distance of the sliding side cover 120 in the second direction, preventing the thrust applied to the sliding side cover 120 from being too large, which may cause the sliding side cover 120 to completely enter the housing 110, making it inconvenient for the sliding side cover 120 to reset and be pressed again. In addition, the limiting rib 115 is disposed relatively far from the sliding side cover 120 with respect to the fixing portion 1131 to give the sliding side cover 120 a certain moving distance, facilitating the contact between the sliding limit portion 122 of the sliding side cover 120 and the elastic arm 132 of the elastic component 130. In this embodiment, the limiting rib 115 is in the shape of a plate and is disposed at the top wall 111 of the housing 110, extending from the top wall 111 towards the bottom wall 113. In other embodiments, the limiting rib 115 may also be disposed at the bottom wall 113, extending from the bottom wall 113 towards the top wall 111, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 9 and combine with Figure 10-12As shown, in order to increase the stability of the connection between the track adapter 100 and the track 200, a buckle portion 140 is further provided on the side wall 112 of the housing 110 of the track adapter 100, and the buckle portion 140 is provided at one end away from the slider chute 1121. The buckle portion 140 includes a fixed end 141 and a free end 142 that are sequentially arranged and connected. On the side of the free end 142 away from the fixed end 141, a retaining protrusion 143 extends in a direction away from the housing 110. The retaining protrusion 143 is used to stably connect the track adapter 100 to the track 200. The slider chute 1121 and the buckle portion 140 are provided on both side walls 112 of the housing 110. After the slider 133 slides into the slider chute 1121, four auxiliary support points are formed with the retaining protrusion 143 to fix the track adapter 100 on the track 200. At the same time, since the buckle portion 140 is provided at one end away from the slider chute 1121, the four auxiliary support points are also located at the four corners of the track adapter 100 to more firmly fix the track adapter 100 on the track 200. When the external force received by the retaining protrusion 143 reaches a preset threshold, the retaining protrusion 143 provided at the free end 142 can deform relative to the fixed end 141 into the housing 110 to release the connection between the retaining protrusion 143 and the track 200 or facilitate the connection of the retaining protrusion 143 to the anti-disengagement boss 230 of the track 200.

[0072] The retaining protrusion 143 further includes a guiding inclined surface 1431. The guiding inclined surface 1431 is provided on the side of the retaining protrusion 143 close to the fixed end 141, that is, the guiding inclined surface 1431 is provided on the upper surface of the retaining protrusion 143 and extends downwardly from the end close to the fixed end 141 to the end away from the fixed end 141. With such a setting, when the track adapter 100 is installed upward into the track 200, when the retaining protrusion 143 is subjected to the extrusion of the inner surface of the track 200, the guiding inclined surface 1431 can guide the force application direction of the retaining protrusion 143 to facilitate the engagement of the retaining protrusion 143 with the anti-disengagement boss 230 of the track 200.

[0073] Furthermore, the retaining protrusion 143 further includes an abutting inclined surface 1432. The abutting inclined surface 1432 is provided on the side of the retaining protrusion 143 close to the slider chute 1121 and extends obliquely from the end close to the slider chute 1121 to the end away from the slider chute 1121. That is, the abutting inclined surface 1432 is located on the side of the retaining protrusion 143 close to the slider chute 1121 and is adjacent to the guiding inclined surface 1431. With such a setting, it is convenient for the retaining protrusion 143 to be separated from the anti-disengagement boss 230 of the track 200, thereby releasing the connection between the track adapter 100 and the track 200 and facilitating the disassembly of the track adapter 100 from the track 200 (the specific disassembly process is described below).

[0074] Further, the track adapter 100 further includes contact elastic pieces 150. The contact elastic pieces 150 are arranged in the installation space 114 of the housing 110 and at least partially exposed outside the side wall 112 of the housing 110 for making electrical connection with the conductive pieces 240 on the track 200, so that while the track adapter 100 is mechanically connected to the track 200, electrical connection is also achieved.

[0075] In an alternative embodiment, the contact elastic pieces 150 include a pair of power supply elastic pieces 151 and a pair of signal elastic pieces 152. The power supply elastic pieces 151 and the signal elastic pieces 152 are both arranged in the installation space 114 of the housing 110 and exposed outside the side wall 112 of the housing 110. The power supply elastic pieces 151 are used for making contact and cooperation with the power supply conductive pieces 241 of the track 200, and the signal elastic pieces 152 are used for making contact and cooperation with the signal conductive pieces 242 of the track 200. In this embodiment, the pair of power supply elastic pieces 151 and the pair of signal elastic pieces 152 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis in the length direction of the housing 110, that is, one power supply elastic piece 151 and one signal elastic piece 152 are exposed on each side wall 112 of the housing 110, and on the same side wall 112 of the housing 110, the power supply elastic piece 151 and the signal elastic piece are arranged in a vertically offset manner. Such an arrangement facilitates the electrical connection between the track adapter 100 and the track 200. In other embodiments, the pair of power supply elastic pieces or the pair of signal elastic pieces 152 may also be arranged on the same side wall 112, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0076] The power supply elastic pieces 151 and the signal elastic pieces 152 may have a certain elasticity. When the power supply elastic pieces 151 make contact and cooperation with the power supply conductive pieces 241, the power supply conductive pieces 241 apply a certain force to the power supply elastic pieces 151, and the restoring force of the power supply elastic pieces 151 enables the power supply elastic pieces 151 to make better contact and cooperation with the power supply conductive pieces 241, thereby achieving reliable electrical connection. When the signal elastic pieces 152 make contact and cooperation with the signal conductive pieces 242, the signal conductive pieces 242 apply a certain force to the signal elastic pieces 152, and the restoring force of the signal elastic pieces 152 enables the signal elastic pieces 152 to make better contact and cooperation with the signal conductive pieces 242, thereby achieving reliable signal connection. The power supply elastic pieces 151 and the signal elastic pieces 152 having a certain elasticity also enables the power supply elastic pieces 151 and the signal elastic pieces 152 to always make contact and cooperation with the power supply conductive pieces 241 and the signal conductive pieces 242 of the track 200 when the track adapter 100 slides in the track 200, without affecting the power supply and signal transmission of the electrical system 300 having the track 200 and the track adapter 100.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 10 and in combination with Figure 11-12As shown, the present invention further provides a track 200 that cooperates and connects with the above-mentioned track adapter 100. The track 200 is mechanically and electrically connected to the above-mentioned track adapter 100. The track 200 has a receiving space 210. The track adapter 100 is at least partially located in the receiving space 210 along the first direction and is mechanically and electrically connected to the track 200. The track 200 is fixedly connected to the installation base. The track adapter 100 can slide freely along the track 200, thereby moving the installation position of the electrical equipment coupled to the track adapter 100 on the track 200 as needed.

[0078] It can be known that the track 200 of the present invention can be an embedded track 200, a surface-mounted track 200 or a suspended track 200, and the present invention does not limit this. When the track 200 of the present invention is an embedded track 200, the lower surface of the track 200 is fixedly connected to the installation base. Please refer to Figure 10 As shown, on the lower surface of the track 200, there is an installation plate 211 extending in the width direction and the length direction of the track 200. There are a number of installation holes 2111 on the installation plate 211. The number of the installation holes 2111 is set according to the length of the track 200, and the present invention does not limit this. The number of installation holes 2111 is evenly distributed along the length direction of the track 200 and is used to fix the track 200 to the installation base. Fasteners such as screws pass through the installation holes 2111, and the heads of the fasteners finally press on both sides of the installation holes 2111 and lock with the installation base to fix the track 200 to the installation base. When the track 200 of the present invention is a surface-mounted track 200, the upper surface of the track 200 is fixedly connected to the installation base. That is, the upper surface of the track 200 is provided with a receiving space 212 for accommodating the installation member (not shown). The track 200 is fixedly installed on the installation base through the installation member provided in the receiving space 212. When the track 200 of the present invention is a suspended track 200, it is connected to the installation member in the receiving space 212 of the track 200 through a traction structure (not shown), such as a suspension wire, a rigid boom, etc., to fix the track 200 to the installation base. The installation base in the present invention can be a ceiling or a wall, etc.

[0079] In an alternative embodiment, the rail 200 includes a first magnetic member 220 disposed at the top of the receiving space 210, and the rail adapter 100 includes a second magnetic member 160 disposed at the top of the rail adapter 100. The first magnetic member 220 and the second magnetic member 160 are magnetically coupled in a first direction to fix the rail adapter 100 in the receiving space 210 of the rail 200 in the first direction. Specifically, an assembly groove 213 is provided at the top of the receiving space 210 of the rail 200, and the first magnetic member 220 is disposed in the assembly groove 213. A second magnetic member 160 is provided on the top wall 111 of the rail adapter 100. When the rail adapter 100 is inserted into the receiving space 210 of the rail 200 from below, the first magnetic member 220 and the second magnetic member 160 are magnetically coupled in the first direction, so that the rail adapter 100 can be connected to the rail 200, and thus the electrical device coupled to the rail adapter 100 can be installed on the rail 200, and the electrical device can slide on the rail 200 along with the rail adapter 100. It can be known that among the first magnetic member 220 and the second magnetic member 160, one can be a permanent magnet and the other can be an iron sheet, and the permanent magnet and the iron sheet can be magnetically coupled. Among the first magnetic member 220 and the second magnetic member 160, both can be permanent magnets, and the different magnetic poles of the two permanent magnets are opposite to each other and can be magnetically coupled. Of course, the first magnetic member 220 and the second magnetic member 160 can also be other types of magnetic members, which are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention. In this embodiment, the rail 200 and the rail adapter 100 form a mechanical connection through magnetic attraction. In other embodiments, the rail 200 and the rail adapter 100 can also directly form a mechanical connection through clamping or other means, or the rail 200 and the rail adapter 100 have both magnetic attraction connection and mechanical connection, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0080] To further improve the connection stability between the rail adapter 100 and the rail 200, the rail 200 of the present invention further includes an anti - detachment boss 230 extending in a third direction. The anti - detachment boss 230 is configured to support the elastic component 130 and the buckle portion 140 of the rail adapter 100. The elastic component 130, the buckle portion 140 and the anti - detachment boss 230 are interconnected and in interference fit. With such a setting, to prevent the rail adapter 100 coupled with the electrical device from falling off the rail 200 when the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic member 220 and the second magnetic member 160 disappears or the weight of the electrical device is relatively large. Due to the presence of the elastic component 130 and the buckle portion 140, the connection between the rail adapter 100 and the rail 200 or the connection between the electrical device coupled to the rail adapter 100 and the rail 200 is more stable, thereby improving the safety of the electrical system 300 having the rail 100 and the rail adapter 200.

[0081] Optionally, the track adapter 100 and the track 200 may also be provided without other mechanically connected structures, and only the elastic component 130 and the buckle portion 140 of the track adapter 100 are used to achieve mechanical connection with the anti-disengagement boss 230 of the track 200. Specifically, elastic block chutes 1121 and buckle portions 140 are provided on both side walls 112 of the housing 110 of the track adapter 100, and the elastic block chutes 1121 and the buckle portions 140 are located at both ends of the housing. After the track adapter 100 is installed on the track 200, the two elastic blocks 133 slide into the elastic block chutes 1121 to achieve mechanical connection with the anti-disengagement boss 230 of the track 200, and the anti-retreat protrusion 143 returns to its deformed state to also achieve mechanical connection with the anti-disengagement boss 230 of the track 200. That is, the two elastic blocks 133 and the two anti-retreat protrusions 143 form four stable support points on the anti-disengagement boss 230, which can enable the track adapter 100 and the track 200 to achieve mechanical connection.

[0082] Further, a conductive groove 214 is provided on the inner surface of the track 200, and a conductive member 240 is disposed in the conductive groove 214 and extends along the length direction of the track 200. The contact surface of the conductive member 240 faces the inside of the track 200 and is used to contact the contact elastic piece 150 of the track adapter 100 to achieve electrical connection with the contact elastic piece 150. When the track adapter 100 is coupled to the track 200 in the first direction, the contact elastic piece 150 located on the outer surface of the track adapter 100 elastically abuts against the conductive member 240 located on the inner surface of the track, thereby achieving electrical connection while achieving mechanical connection.

[0083] Further, an insulating protection member 250 is also provided on the inner surface of the track 200. The insulating protection member 250 extends along the length direction of the track 200. The insulating protection member 250 wraps around the outer peripheral wall of the conductive member 240 and has an opening on the side facing the inner surface of the track 200, so that the conductive member 240 can be partially exposed in the conductive groove 214 to be electrically connected to the contact elastic piece 150 on the track adapter 100. The insulating protection member 250 can play a role of isolation to avoid short circuit when the track 200 is a conductive material. When the track 200 is an insulating material, the insulating protection member 250 can also be omitted.

[0084] In an alternative embodiment, the conductive member 240 includes a power supply conductive member 241 and a signal conductive member 242. The outer peripheral walls of the power supply conductive member 241 and the signal conductive member 242 are both wrapped with an insulating protection member 250, and an opening is provided on the side facing the inner surface of the track 200, so that the power supply conductive member 241 and the signal conductive member 242 can be partially exposed in the conductive groove 214. On the inner surfaces of the two vertically arranged side walls of the track 200, two rows of conductive grooves 214 are arranged side by side along the height direction of the track 200. Two power supply conductive members 241 and two signal conductive members 242 are respectively arranged in the four rows of conductive grooves 214, and the positions of the power supply conductive members 241 and the signal conductive members 242 correspond to the positions of the power supply elastic pieces 151 and the signal elastic pieces 152 one by one. The power supply conductive member 241 is used for electrically connecting with the power supply elastic piece 151 of the track adapter 100 to form an electrical circuit, and the signal conductive member 242 is used for electrically connecting with the signal elastic piece 152 of the track adapter 100 to form a control circuit, so as to improve the intelligence of the electrical system 300 having the track 200 and the track adapter 100.

[0085] In another alternative embodiment, the contact elastic piece 150 includes four power supply elastic pieces 151. The four power supply elastic pieces 151 include two positive electrodes and two negative electrodes. Correspondingly, the track 200 includes four power supply conductive members 241, so that a dual electrical circuit is formed between the track adapter 100 and the track 200 to meet the demand for dual-channel output independent control of dimming and color-tuning products in the market trend. It can also be used for independent control of each channel in a four-wire three-circuit, or the combination of the power supply elastic pieces 151 or the power supply conductive members 241 can be reduced according to the circuit requirements of actual applications.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 11-12 and combine with Figure 1-10 As shown, the present invention provides an electrical system 300 that is convenient for quick installation and disassembly. The electrical system 300 includes the above-mentioned track 200 and the above-mentioned track adapter 100. The electrical system 300 further includes electrical equipment. The electrical equipment is coupled to the track 200 through the track adapter 100 and can slide on the track 200 along with the track adapter 100. The electrical equipment can be an electrical consumption device, such as a lamp, a monitoring device, etc., or a power supply device, such as a driving power supply, etc. The present invention does not limit this.

[0087] In this embodiment, the rail 200 is provided with an anti - detachment boss 230 extending in the third direction. The rail adapter 100 includes a sliding side cover 120, an elastic component 130, and a buckle portion 140. The sliding side cover 120 drives the elastic component 130 to connect or disconnect from the anti - detachment boss 230; the buckle portion 140 connects or disconnects from the anti - detachment boss 230 under the interaction with the inner surface of the rail 200 to achieve the mechanical connection between the rail adapter 100 and the rail 200, or improve the connection stability between the rail adapter 100 and the rail 200.

[0088] In addition, a conductive member is provided inside the rail 200, and a conductive member 240 is provided on the inner surface of the rail 200. The conductive member 240 extends along the length direction of the rail 200. A contact elastic piece 150 is provided on the outer surface of the rail adapter 100. The conductive member 240 is electrically connected to the contact elastic piece 150 to achieve the electrical connection between the rail adapter 100 and the rail 200.

[0089] The electrical system 300 further includes a driving power source, which can be arranged in the installation base to provide appropriate power for the rail 100 and the electrical system 300 having the rail 200, without affecting the aesthetics of the electrical system 300. In other embodiments, the driving power source can also be assembled on the rail 200 or externally arranged outside the rail 200, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0090] In an alternative embodiment, the electrical device is the driving power source. The driving power source can also be directly coupled to the rail 200, and other electrical devices can be coupled to the driving power source, such as lighting fixtures, monitoring devices, intelligent control devices, or sensor modules, etc. At this time, the driving power source and the rail adapter 100 are integrally arranged, that is, a driving power source is provided inside the rail adapter 100 to receive the power of the commercial power and convert it into the power required by other electrical devices. Or other electrical devices such as lighting fixtures, monitoring devices, intelligent control devices, or sensor modules can also be provided with their own driving power sources to achieve power conversion, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0091] A connecting member is provided at one end of the rail adapter 100 away from the sliding side cover 120. The connecting member can mechanically connect and electrically connect electrical devices to form the electrical system 300. In other embodiments, the electrical device can be directly connected to the rail adapter 100 without additional components between the electrical device and the rail adapter 100. Or, the electrical system 300 can further include more connecting components between the electrical device and the rail adapter 100, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0092] When the rail adapter 100 is installed on the rail 200 in the first direction, a thrust is applied to the sliding side cover 120 of the rail adapter 100 in the second direction, so that the two support plates 1221 of the sliding limit portion 122 of the sliding side cover 120 contact the two elastic arms 132 of the elastic component 130, and drive the two elastic arms 132 to move towards each other in the third direction. Furthermore, the elastic blocks 133 at one end of the elastic arms 132 move towards each other in the third direction and slide out of the elastic block chute 1121. At this time, the elastic blocks 133 are in a retracted state. The rail adapter 100 is pushed into the receiving space 210 of the rail 200 in the first direction. The buckle portion 140 on the side wall 112 of the housing 110 of the rail adapter 100 is squeezed by the inner surface of the rail 200. That is, the anti-retreat protrusion 143 of the buckle portion 140 deforms towards the direction close to the rail adapter 100 under the guidance of the guiding inclined surface 1431. When the rail adapter 100 is installed in place in the receiving space 210 (for example, after the second magnetic attracting member 160 at the top of the rail adapter 100 and the first magnetic attracting member 220 at the top of the receiving space 210 of the rail 200 are magnetically attracted to each other in the first direction), the anti-retreat protrusion 143 of the buckle portion 140 restores its deformation, and the anti-retreat protrusion 143 is connected to the anti-disengagement boss 230 of the rail 200 and has an interference fit. At this time, the sliding side cover 120 is released. Under the action of the restoring elastic force of the elastic component 130, the two support plates 1221 of the sliding side cover 110 are driven by the restoring elastic force of the two elastic arms 132 and move in the direction away from the thrust, so that the sliding side cover 110 restores its initial state. At the same time, the two elastic arms 132 move away from each other in the third direction under the drive of their own restoring elastic force, and then drive the elastic blocks 133 to move away from each other in the third direction, so as to slide into the elastic block chute 1121 and be connected to the anti-disengagement boss 230 of the rail 200 and have an interference fit. At this time, the mechanical installation of the rail adapter 100 and the rail 200 is completed. At the same time, the contact elastic sheet 150 on the outer surface of the rail adapter 100 abuts against the conductive member 240 on the inner surface of the rail 100 to form a stable electrical connection.

[0093] When it is necessary to disassemble the track adapter 100 from the track 200, a thrust is applied to the sliding side cover 120 of the track adapter 100 in the second direction, so that the two support plates 1221 of the sliding limit portion 122 of the sliding side cover 120 are in contact with the two elastic arms 132 of the elastic component 130, and the two elastic arms 132 are driven to move towards each other in the third direction. Furthermore, the elastic blocks 133 located at one end of the elastic arms 132 are driven to move towards each other in the third direction and slide out from the elastic block chutes 1121. At this time, the elastic blocks 133 are in a retracted state, and the elastic blocks 133 are separated from the anti-disengagement bosses 230 of the track 200. Pull the end of the track adapter 100 provided with the sliding side cover 120 downward in the first direction, so that the track adapter 100 rotates downward with the anti-reverse protrusion 143 of the buckle portion 140 as the center. Since the side surface of the anti-reverse protrusion 143 close to the elastic block chute 1121 has an abutting inclined surface 1432, at this time, the abutting inclined surface 1432 is in contact with the track 200 and is squeezed by the inner surface of the track 200. That is, the anti-reverse protrusion 143 of the buckle portion 140 is deformed towards the direction close to the track adapter 100 under the guidance of the abutting inclined surface 1432, and the anti-reverse protrusion 143 of the buckle portion 140 is separated from the anti-disengagement boss 230 of the track 200, so that the track adapter 100 can be easily removed. At this time, the disassembly of the track adapter 100 from the track 200 is completed.

[0094] It can be known that the quick installation and disassembly of the track adapter 100 and the track 200 can be realized by manually pressing the sliding side cover 120, or the quick installation and disassembly of the track adapter 100 and the track 200 can be realized by automatically pressing the sliding side cover 120 through a control device. In the embodiments of the present invention, no specific limitation is made.

[0095] Embodiment 2

[0096] Please refer to Figure 13-20 and combine with Figure 10-12As shown, a track adapter 100 according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention is used to couple an electrical device to a track 200 along a first direction, and includes a housing 110 and a sliding assembly 170 slidably connected to the housing 110. The sliding assembly 170 includes a sliding side cover 120 located at the end of the housing 110 and an elastic assembly 130 located inside the housing 110 and fixedly connected to the sliding side cover 120. The elastic assembly 130 includes two symmetrically arranged elastic arms 132 and an elastic block 133 located at one end of each elastic arm 132 away from the sliding side cover 120. The side wall 112 of the housing 110 is provided with an elastic block slide groove 1121 at a position corresponding to the elastic block 133. Two guide ribs 116 cooperating with the elastic arms 132 are further provided inside the housing 110. A clearance channel 117 for the elastic assembly 130 to make way is formed between the two guide ribs 116. The elastic assembly 130 cooperates with the guide rib 116 to drive the elastic block 133 to slide out of or into the elastic block slide groove 1121. Such an arrangement can realize the rapid installation and removal of the track adapter 100 and the track 200 , and improve the connection stability between the track adapter 100 and the track 200 .

[0097] In embodiment 2, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are also included, and the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are the same as those in embodiment 1. The structure of the track adapter 100 is also substantially the same as that in embodiment 1, but some details are different. Only the different parts are described here, and the same parts are not repeated.

[0098] In this embodiment, the sliding assembly 170 includes a sliding side cover 120, an elastic assembly 130, and a connecting portion 124 connecting the sliding side cover 120 and the elastic assembly 130. The sliding side cover 120, the connecting portion 124, and the elastic assembly 130 are integrally formed, that is, the sliding side cover 120 for pressing and the elastic assembly 130 for elastic deformation are integrally formed through the connecting portion 124, so as to reduce the number of parts of the track adapter 100 and reduce the material and assembly costs. In other embodiments, the sliding side cover 120, the connecting portion 124, and the elastic assembly 130 can also be separately provided, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0099] The sliding side cover 120 is slidably connected to the end of the housing 110 and is at least partially received in the installation space to facilitate applying a thrust force to the sliding side cover 120. The sliding side cover 120 also includes a pressing portion exposed outside the housing 110 and a limiting wall received in the installation space for limiting the sliding side cover 120. The structure and function of the limiting wall are the same as those in Embodiment 1 and will not be elaborated here. When the sliding side cover 120 is subjected to a thrust force in the second direction and slides inward relative to the housing 110, the connecting portion 124 and the elastic component 130 slide inward together with the sliding side cover 120. The two elastic arms 132 of the elastic component 130 respectively contact two guiding ribs 116 provided in the housing 110, causing the two elastic arms 132 to move towards each other, and further causing the elastic block 133 to slide out of the elastic block chute 1121. When the thrust force disappears, the elastic arms 132 move away from each other under the elastic force of the elastic component 130 itself, and further cause the elastic block 133 to slide into the elastic block chute 1121.

[0100] The elastic component 130 is arranged in a U shape and includes two elastic arms 132 symmetrically arranged along the connecting portion 124 and an elastic block 133 located at one end of each elastic arm 132 close to the sliding side cover 120. The elastic block 133 is arranged closer to the sliding side cover 120 relative to the elastic arm 132, that is, the U-shaped opening of the elastic component 130 faces the sliding side cover 120, and the outer surface of the elastic arm 132 away from the sliding side cover 120 contacts the guiding rib 116 in the housing 110, thereby deforming.

[0101] Each elastic arm 132 includes a first end 1321 away from the sliding side cover 120, a second end 1322 close to the sliding side cover 120, and a third end 1323 connecting the two second ends 1322 and fixedly connected to the connecting portion 124. The first end 1321, the second end 1322, and the third end 1323 are integrally formed. A deformation point 135 is formed by the inner side wall 112 where the second end 1322 is connected to the third end 1323 and recessed in a direction away from the sliding side cover 120, so as to guide the elastic component 130 to deform with the deformation point 135 as the specified point, making its movement trajectory controllable and more stable after being installed on the track 200.

[0102] Further, the distance between the two first ends 1321 is greater than the distance between the two second ends 1322, and the elastic block 132 is disposed at the first end 1321 of the elastic arm 132. With such a setting, after the thrust disappears or there is no thrust, the elastic arms 132 move away from each other along the third direction under the action of their own elastic forces, and drive the elastic blocks 133 located at the first ends 1321 of each elastic arm 132 to move away from each other along the third direction, so as to slide into the elastic block chute 1121 and maintain the extended state. In an alternative embodiment, the distance between the two elastic arms 132 increases successively from the position close to the connecting portion 124 to the position far from the connecting portion 124. With such a setting, the two elastic arms 132 are greater than the width of the housing 110 in the unfolded state, and thus can spontaneously drive the elastic blocks 133 to slide into the elastic block chute 1121 and maintain the extended state.

[0103] Optionally, the elastic block 133 is disposed relatively close to the sliding side cover 120 with respect to the elastic arm 132. An inclined surface 1331 is provided on one side of the elastic block 133 close to the elastic block chute 1121, and the inclined surface 1331 inclines from the end close to the elastic block chute 1121 to the end close to the sliding side cover 120. That is, the inclined surface 1331 is disposed close to the sliding side cover 120. With such a setting, it is because the U-shaped opening of the elastic arm 132 faces the sliding side cover 120, and the outer surface of the elastic arm 132 far from the sliding side cover 120 contacts the guiding rib 116 in the housing 110. When the sliding side cover 120 applies pressure to the elastic arms 132, the two elastic arms 132 move in the direction of approaching each other along the third direction. At this time, the side of the elastic block 133 close to the sliding side cover 120 contacts the elastic block chute 1121. The setting of the inclined surface 1331 can facilitate the elastic block 133 to slide out of the elastic block chute 1121 and contract into the installation space of the housing 110. After the thrust disappears, the elastic arms 132 move in the direction of moving away from each other along the third direction under the action of the elastic force of the elastic component 130 itself. At this time, the setting of the inclined surface 1331 also facilitates the elastic block 133 to slide into the elastic block chute 1121 and be exposed outside the housing 110.

[0104] In this embodiment, the elastic component 130 is made of plastic. By utilizing the physical property that plastic has elasticity, the elastic arms 132 deform when subjected to thrust, and after the thrust disappears, the elastic arms 132 automatically recover their elastic deformation, so as to realize the sliding of the elastic blocks 133 into or out of the elastic block chute 1121, thereby achieving the rapid installation and disassembly of the track adapter 100. In other embodiments, the elastic component 130 can also be made of other elastic materials, such as elastic metal sheets, etc., and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0105] The connecting portion 124 is used to connect the elastic component 130 and the sliding side cover 120. In an optional embodiment, the connecting portion 124 is tilted, that is, the end of the connecting portion 124 close to the sliding side cover 120 is arranged above the end close to the elastic component 130. This is arranged because the elastic component 130 is located below the sliding side cover 120. When the sliding side cover 120 is subjected to a thrust, the tilted connecting portion 124 facilitates the transmission of the thrust to the elastic component 130. At the same time, the tilted connecting portion 124 improves the structural stability of the sliding component 170.

[0106] Two protrusions 1241 are formed on one end of the connection portion 124 close to the elastic component 130 and extending in a direction away from the elastic component 130, and a guide gap 1242 is provided between the two protrusions 1241. The housing 110 is provided with a guide protrusion 118 that matches the guide gap 1242. The guide protrusion 118 and the guide gap 1242 are used to limit and guide the sliding direction of the sliding component 170 in the housing 110.

[0107] In this embodiment, the housing 110 is not provided with the limiting ribs 115, but two guide ribs 116 are provided in the housing 110 to match the elastic arms 132 of the elastic component 130, and a clearance channel 117 extending along the second direction is formed between the two guide ribs 116. The clearance channel 117 allows the elastic component 130 to have a movement space for deformation when it is pushed in the second direction by the sliding side cover 120, so that the two elastic arms 132 of the elastic component 130 can fully contact and match with the two guide ribs 116, and the sliding distance of the elastic component 130 in the housing 110 is also limited.

[0108] Specifically, two guide ribs 116 are respectively arranged on the bottom wall of the housing 110 along the third direction, and are arranged near the side wall 112 of the housing 110, and are symmetrically arranged relative to the guide protrusion 118. A clearance channel 117 extending along the second direction is formed between the two guide ribs 116 for the elastic component 130 to make way. When the sliding side cover 120 applies a thrust to the elastic component 130 along the second direction, the elastic component 130 at least partially enters the clearance channel 117 along the second direction, and the elastic arm 132 that has not entered the clearance channel 117 is blocked by the guide rib 116, thereby pushing the elastic arm 132 to move toward each other along the third direction, thereby driving the elastic block 133 to slide out of the elastic block slide groove 1121 and maintain the retracted state. At this time, due to the blocking of the guide rib 116, the sliding distance of the sliding component 170 in the housing 110 is also limited.

[0109] After the thrust applied by the sliding side cover 120 disappears, the elastic arm 132 moves away from the spring along the third direction driven by the restoring elastic force, and is guided by the arc wall 1163 of the guide rib 116. The elastic component 130 leaves the clearance channel 117 in the direction opposite to the thrust direction. At the same time, the elastic arm 132 drives the spring block 133 to move away from the spring block along the third direction, thereby sliding into the spring block slot 1121 and maintaining the extended state.

[0110] Each guide rib 116 includes a first wall 1161 parallel to the sliding side cover 120, a second wall 1162 extending in a direction away from the sliding side cover 120, and an arcuate wall 1163 connecting the first wall 1161 and the second wall 1162. The arcuate wall 1163 contacts the second end 1322 of the elastic arm 132 at a position close to the deformation point 135, thereby cooperating with the elastic arm 132 to guide the two elastic arms 132 to move closer to or away from each other with the deformation point 135 as a designated movement point. Preferably, the bending direction of the arcuate wall 1163 is opposite to the bending direction of the elastic arm 132. With such arrangement, when the elastic arm 132 is subjected to the thrust along the second direction and moves into the shell 110, the elastic arm 132 contacts the position of the arc wall 1163 close to the second wall 1162, thereby changing the direction of the thrust and converting the vertical thrust along the second direction into a lateral thrust along the third direction, so that the elastic arms 132 are more easily approaching each other with the deformation point 135 as the rotation point, and the elastic component 130 partially enters the make way channel 117 along the second direction. At the same time, the elastic arm 132 drives the spring block 133 to move toward each other along the third direction, so that the spring block 133 slides out of the spring block slide groove 1121. When the thrust disappears, the elastic arm 132 moves away from each other along the third direction driven by its own restoring elastic force. The elastic arm 132 contacts the arc wall 1163 near the first wall 1161. The first wall 1161 converts the lateral thrust along the third direction into a vertical thrust along the second direction. Therefore, under the guidance of the guide rib 116, the elastic component 130 leaves the clearance channel 117 in the direction opposite to the thrust direction, thereby making it easier for the elastic arm 132 to return to its initial state and move away from each other along the third direction, thereby driving the spring block 133 to move away from each other along the third direction, thereby sliding into the spring block slide groove 1121.

[0111] In order to increase the stability of the connection between the track adapter 100 and the track 200, in this embodiment, a buckle portion 140 is also provided on the side wall 112 of the housing 110 of the track adapter 100, and the buckle portion 140 is arranged at an end away from the spring block slide groove 1121. The specific structure of the buckle portion 140 can refer to the structure of the buckle portion 140 in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and will not be repeated here.

[0112] Similarly, the track adapter 100 in Embodiment 2 also includes a contact spring piece 150 for making electrical connection with the conductive part 240 of the track 200. The structure and arrangement of the contact spring piece 150 can refer to the description of Embodiment 1, and the present invention will not elaborate herein.

[0113] Please refer to Figure 10-12 , and in combination with Figure 13-20 as shown, the present invention also provides a track 200 that is mechanically and electrically connected to the track adapter 100 of Embodiment 2. The structure of the track 200 can be the same as or different from the structure of the track 200 in Embodiment 1. The present invention does not limit this, as long as the track 200 is provided with an anti-disengagement boss 230 extending in the third direction, the sliding side cover 120 of the track adapter 100 drives the elastic component 130 to cooperate with the guiding rib 116, so that the elastic block 133 of the elastic component 130 is connected to or separated from the anti-disengagement boss 230, and the buckle part 140 is connected to or separated from the anti-disengagement boss 230 under the interaction with the inner surface of the track 200. The present invention does not limit this and will not elaborate further.

[0114] The present invention further provides an electrical system 300 that is convenient for quick installation and disassembly. The electrical system 300 includes the above-mentioned track 200 and the above-mentioned track adapter 100. The electrical system 300 further includes an electrical device (not shown). The electrical device is coupled to the track 200 through the track adapter 100 and can slide on the track 200 along with the track adapter 100. The electrical device can be an electrical consuming device, such as a lamp, a monitoring device, etc., or a power supply device, such as a driving power supply, etc. The present invention does not limit this.

[0115] The structure and connection manner of the electrical system 300 in Embodiment 2 are substantially the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be elaborated herein, only the differences will be described.

[0116] When the track adapter 100 is installed on the track 200 in the first direction, a thrust is applied to the sliding assembly 170 of the track adapter 100 in the second direction, so that the sliding side cover 120 drives the elastic assembly 130 to move into the housing 110 in the second direction. The two elastic arms 132 of the elastic assembly 130 contact the two guiding ribs 116 in the housing 110 and partially enter the relief channel 117. The two guiding ribs 116 block the movement of the two elastic arms 132 in the second direction and convert the thrust in the second direction into a thrust in the third direction, so that the two elastic arms 132 move towards each other in the third direction. Furthermore, the elastic blocks 133 located at the first ends 1331 of the elastic arms 132 move towards each other in the third direction and slide out of the elastic block chute 1121. At this time, the elastic blocks 133 are in the retracted state. The track adapter 100 is pushed into the receiving space 210 of the track 200 in the first direction, and the buckle portion 140 on the side wall 112 of the housing 110 of the track adapter 100 is squeezed by the inner surface of the track 200. That is, the anti-retreat protrusion 143 of the buckle portion 140 deforms towards the direction close to the track adapter 100 under the guidance of the guiding inclined surface 1431. When the track adapter 100 is installed in place in the receiving space 210 (for example, after the second magnetic member 160 located at the top of the track adapter 100 and the first magnetic member 220 located at the top of the receiving space 210 of the track 200 are magnetically attracted to each other in the first direction), the anti-retreat protrusion 143 of the buckle portion 140 resumes deformation, and the anti-retreat protrusion 143 is connected to the anti-disengagement boss 230 of the track 200 and has an interference fit. At this time, the sliding side cover 120 is released, the thrust on the sliding side cover 120 is cancelled, and the elastic assembly 130 is driven by its own restoring elastic force. The two elastic arms 132 move away from each other in the third direction. The elastic arms 132 contact the position of the arc wall 1163 of the guiding rib 116 close to the first wall 1161. The first wall 1161 partially converts the lateral thrust in the third direction into a vertical thrust in the second direction. Thus, under the guidance of the guiding rib 116, the elastic assembly 130 leaves the relief channel 117 in the direction opposite to the thrust direction, and further makes the elastic arms 132 more easily return to the initial state and move away from each other in the third direction. Furthermore, it drives the elastic blocks 133 to move away from each other in the third direction, so as to slide into the elastic block chute 1121 and be connected to the anti-disengagement boss 230 of the track 200 and have an interference fit. At this time, the mechanical installation of the track adapter 100 and the track 200 is completed. At the same time, the contact elastic sheet 150 located on the outer surface of the track adapter 100 abuts against the conductive member 240 located on the inner surface of the track 100 to form a stable electrical connection.

[0117] When it is necessary to disassemble the track adapter 100 from the track 200, a thrust is applied to the sliding assembly 170 of the track adapter 100 in the second direction, so that the sliding side cover 120 drives the elastic assembly 130 to move into the housing 110 in the second direction. The two elastic arms 132 of the elastic assembly 130 contact the two guiding ribs 116 in the housing 110 and partially enter the relief channel 117. The two guiding ribs 116 block the movement of the two elastic arms 132 in the second direction and convert the thrust in the second direction into a thrust in the third direction, so that the two elastic arms 132 move towards each other in the third direction. Furthermore, the elastic blocks 133 located at the first ends 1331 of the elastic arms 132 move towards each other in the third direction and slide out of the elastic block chute 1121. At this time, the elastic blocks 133 are in a retracted state and are separated from the anti-disengagement bosses 230 of the track 200. Pull down the end of the track adapter 100 provided with the sliding side cover 120 in the first direction, so that the track adapter 100 rotates downward with the anti-retreat protrusion 143 of the buckle portion 140 as the center. Since the side surface of the anti-retreat protrusion 143 close to the elastic block chute 1121 has an abutting inclined surface 1432, at this time, the abutting inclined surface 1432 contacts the track 200 and is squeezed by the inner surface of the track 200. That is, the anti-retreat protrusion 143 of the buckle portion 140 deforms towards the direction close to the track adapter 100 under the guidance of the abutting inclined surface 1432, and the anti-retreat protrusion 143 of the buckle portion 140 is separated from the anti-disengagement boss 230 of the track 200, so that the track adapter 100 can be easily removed. At this time, the disassembly of the track adapter 100 from the track 200 is completed.

[0118] It can be known that the pressing method of the sliding assembly 170 in Embodiment 2 can also be manual or automatic, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0119] In summary, by providing the elastic assembly 130 and the sliding side cover 120, the track adapter 100 of the present invention fixedly connects the elastic assembly 130 in the housing 110, and under the cooperation of the sliding side cover 120, drives the elastic block 133 to slide out of or into the elastic block chute 1121, so as to realize the quick installation and disassembly of the track adapter 100 and the track 200, and improve the connection stability between the track adapter 100 and the track 200.

[0120] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
