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 tracks (conductive tracks) fixed on the ceiling or wall and various lamps that can slide along the tracks, which can be spotlights, linear lights, etc.

[0003] The track adapter that matches the track is usually hidden inside the track, which increases the difficulty of track light installation. Moreover, most track lights on the market are magnetic track lights, which are directly connected to the track using magnetic force, making installation easy and quick. However, during the use of track lights, the stability of magnetic connection alone is not strong. If the magnetic force between the magnetic parts disappears, or the weight of the light-emitting module is heavy, the track adapter may separate from the track, posing a safety hazard of the track light falling off.

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

[0053] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0054] It should be noted here that in order to avoid obscuring the present invention due to unnecessary details, only structures and / or processing steps closely related to the scheme of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related to the present invention are omitted.

[0055] In addition, it should be noted that the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus.

[0056] Example 1

[0057] See also Figure 1-9 , and combined with Figure 10-12 As shown, a track adapter 100 according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention is used to couple an electrical device (not shown) to a 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 the track adapter 100 needs to be disassembled, the track adapter 200 can also be quickly disassembled from the track 200 through the cooperation of the sliding side cover 120 and the elastic component 130, which is convenient and quick, reduces the difficulty of installation and disassembly, and improves the efficiency of installation and disassembly.

[0058] The sliding side cover 120 is slidably connected to the end of the housing 110 along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the elastic component 130 is fixedly connected in the housing 110. The elastic component 130 includes an elastic body 131 and two elastic blocks 133 arranged on both sides of the elastic body 131. The side wall 112 of the housing 110 is respectively provided with two elastic block slide grooves 1121 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 thrusted by the sliding side cover 120 along the second direction so as to drive the two elastic blocks 133 to move toward each other along a third direction, thereby sliding out of the elastic block slide groove 1121, and moving away from each other along the third direction after the thrust disappears so as to slide into the elastic block slide groove 1121, wherein 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, 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 spring blocks 133 move in a direction approaching each other in the third direction, thereby sliding out of the spring block slot 1121. At this time, the spring blocks 133 are in a retracted state, which facilitates and quickly couples the track adapter 100 to the track 200, or uncouples it from the track 200. When the thrust disappears or there is no thrust, the two spring blocks 133 move in a direction away from each other along the third direction under the elastic force of the elastic component 130, thereby sliding into the spring block slot 1121. At this time, the spring blocks 133 are in an extended state, which facilitates abutment with the anti-slip boss 230 extending along the third direction on the track 100, thereby improving the connection stability between the track 200 and the track adapter 100.

[0059] Optionally, the first direction is the height direction of the track 200 or the track adapter 100, the second direction is the length direction of the track 200 or the track adapter 100, and the third direction is the width direction of the track 200 or the track adapter 100. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0060] It can be known that the switching of the spring block 133 between the extended state and the retracted state can be controlled manually or automatically by a control device, that is, the movement of the sliding side cover 120 along the second direction toward the elastic component 130 can be controlled manually or automatically, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As 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 oppositely arranged 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 are surrounded to form a lower tank body, and the lower tank body has an installation space 114 for accommodating electrical components and elastic components 130, etc.

[0062] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 , and combined with Figure 7-8 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the top wall 111 and the lower tank body are separately provided, and a leg 1111 extends from the top wall 111 toward the side of the lower tank body in a direction close to the lower tank body, and a hook 1112 is formed by extending the leg 1111 toward the side wall 112 of the lower tank body, and the side wall 112 of the lower tank body is provided with a bayonet 1122 at a position corresponding to the hook 1112, and the hook 1112 cooperates with the bayonet 1122 to fix the top wall 111 with the lower tank body. In other embodiments, the hook 1112 can also be provided on the lower tank body, and the bayonet 1122 can be provided on the leg 1111 of the top wall 111, or the top wall 111 and the lower tank body are fixedly connected by other means, or the housing 110 can also be integrally formed, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0063] A fixing portion 1131 is provided on the bottom wall 113 of the housing 110, that is, the fixing portion 1131 is arranged at the bottom of the housing 110, and is used to fix and limit the elastic component 130 in the housing 110. In an optional embodiment, the fixing portion 1131 is cylindrical and extends from the bottom wall 113 of the housing 110 toward the top wall 111. The elastic body 131 of the elastic component 130 is sleeved on the fixing portion 1131 to limit and fix the elastic body 131 in the housing 110, so as to prevent the elastic body 131 from being displaced left and right or front and back in the housing 110 under the drive of the sliding side cover 120, thereby affecting the elastic blocks 133 located on both sides of the elastic body 131 to slide into or out of the elastic block slide groove 1121. Furthermore, a plurality of heightening blocks 1132 are provided on the peripheral wall of the fixing portion 1131 close to the bottom wall 113, and the plurality of heightening blocks 1132 are evenly arranged along the peripheral wall of the fixing portion 1131 so that the elastic body 131 has a certain space from the bottom wall 113, thereby making it possible for the elastic blocks 133 located on both sides of the elastic body 131 to have a certain space from the bottom wall 113, thereby facilitating the elastic blocks 133 to slide into or out of the elastic block slot 1121.

[0064] See also Figure 5 , and combined with Figure 7-8 As shown, the elastic component 130 is arranged on the fixing portion 1131, and includes an elastic body 131 and elastic blocks 133 arranged on both sides of the elastic body 131. The elastic body 131 includes a mounting portion 134 fixedly connected to the fixing portion 1131, and two symmetrically arranged elastic arms 132 extending outwardly from the mounting portion. The elastic block 133 is arranged at one end of the elastic arm 132 away from the elastic body 131, and is integrally formed with the elastic body 131 to save the number of parts and reduce the difficulty of assembly.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, the elastic body 131 is a torsion spring, the center of the torsion spring, that is, the mounting portion 134 is annular, 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 relative to the fixing portion 1131, and the elastic block 133 is formed by a molding and encapsulation process at one end of the two elastic arms 132 away from the center of the torsion spring, so as to reduce the number of parts of the elastic component 130 and reduce 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 at the ends of the elastic arms 132 to move closer to or away from each other. Since the elastic body 131 is fixed on the fixed part 1131, when the elastic arms 132 are pushed along the second direction by the two support plates 1221 of the sliding side cover 110, the two elastic arms 132 approach each other, thereby driving the two elastic blocks 133 located at the ends of the two elastic arms 132 away from the elastic body 131 to approach each other, so that the elastic blocks 133 slide out of the elastic block slide groove 1121. When the thrust disappears, the two elastic arms 132 automatically restore their deformation, and 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 the direction away from the thrust, so that the sliding side cover 110 returns to the initial state, and 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 body 131 to move away from each other, and the elastic blocks 133 automatically slide into the elastic block slide groove 1121. At the same time, due to the elastic force of the torsion spring, the connection between the elastic blocks 133 and the elastic block slide groove 1121 is more stable. In other embodiments, the elastic component 130 may also be other elastic members, or the elastic body 131 and the elastic block 133 may be separately provided and then assembled, which is not limited in the present invention.

[0066] Optionally, the spring block 133 is arranged away from the sliding side cover 120 relative to the elastic body 131, that is, the spring block 133 is arranged away from the sliding side cover 120 relative to the fixing portion 1131, and when the sliding side cover 120 applies a thrust to the elastic arm 132 along the second direction, the spring block 133 moves toward the fixing portion 1131. An inclined surface 1331 is provided on the side of the spring block 133 close to the spring block slide groove 1121, and the inclined surface 1331 is inclined from an end close to the spring block slide groove 1121 to an end away from the sliding side cover 120. That is, the inclined surface 1331 is arranged away from the sliding side cover 120. With such a configuration, when the sliding side cover 120 gives the elastic arm 132 a thrust in the second direction, the two elastic arms 132 move toward each other, and at this time, the side of the elastic block 133 away from the sliding side cover 120 contacts the elastic block slot 1121, and the setting of the inclined surface 1331 can facilitate the elastic block 133 to slide out of the elastic block slot 1121 and shrink into the installation space 114 of the housing 110. When the thrust disappears, the elastic arm 132 moves away from each other under the action of the restoring elastic force of the elastic component 130 itself, and at this time, the setting of the inclined surface 1331 also facilitates the elastic block 133 to slide into the elastic block slot 1121 and be exposed outside the housing 110, thereby facilitating the abutment with the anti-slip boss 230 on the track 100, thereby improving the connection stability between the track 200 and the track adapter 100.

[0067] Optionally, in the length direction of the shell 110, the length of the bullet block slot 1121 is slightly greater than the length of the bullet block 133, so as to provide a certain moving space for the bullet block 133 to slide in or out of the bullet block slot 1121, thereby facilitating the sliding in or out of the bullet block 133.

[0068] In order to facilitate driving the spring block 133 to slide out or slide into the spring block slot 1121, the track adapter 100 of the present invention further includes a sliding side cover 120, which is slidably connected to the end of the housing 110 and at least partially accommodated in the installation space 114. In other words, the sliding side cover 120 is partially exposed at the end of the housing 110, so that it is convenient to apply a thrust to the sliding side cover 120, and the sliding side cover 120 is slidably connected to the housing 110 along the second direction, thereby driving the elastic arm 132 of the elastic component 130 to deform, thereby causing the spring block 133 to slide in or out of the spring block slot 1121.

[0069] See also Figure 6-8As shown, the sliding side cover 120 includes a pressing portion 121 exposed from the housing 110, a sliding stop portion 122 accommodated in the installation space 114, and a stop wall 123 located between the sliding stop portion 122 and the pressing portion 121 for stopping the sliding side cover 120. The pressing portion 121 is exposed from the housing 110 to facilitate applying a thrust to the sliding side cover 120. The stop wall 123 extends from the top of the pressing portion 121 toward the top wall 111 and is accommodated in the installation space 114 to stop the sliding side cover 120, so as to prevent the elastic component 130 from restoring its deformation after the thrust disappears, and the sliding side cover 120 moves in a direction away from the elastic component 130 under the driving of the restoring elastic force of the elastic component 130, and thus falls from the end of the housing 110. The sliding limiter 122 is received in the installation space 114, fixedly connected to the pressing portion 121, and arranged close to the fixing portion 1131 relative to the pressing portion 121, so that after the pressing portion 121 is pushed, the sliding limiter 122 is driven to contact the outer surfaces of the two elastic arms 132 of the elastic assembly 130, thereby causing the two elastic arms 132 to deform and drive the elastic block 133 to slide out of the elastic block slot 1121. In this embodiment, the pressing portion 121, the sliding limiter 122 and the limiting wall 123 are integrally formed and arranged. In other embodiments, the pressing portion 121 and the sliding limiter 122 may also be separately arranged, and the present invention is not limited thereto, as long as the pressing portion 121 and the sliding limiter 122 are fixedly connected and can drive the sliding limiter 122 to move.

[0070] The sliding limit portion 122 includes two oppositely arranged support plates 1221 and a connecting plate 1222 located above the support plate 1221 and used to connect the support plate 1221. The support plates 1221 and the connecting plate 1222 are surrounded by a receiving groove 1223. A channel is formed between the two support plates 1221 of the receiving groove 1223. The channel is used to give way to the fixing portion 1131 to prevent the sliding limit portion 122 from colliding with the fixing portion 1131 when moving toward the fixing portion 1131, and from acting 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 mounting portion 134 of the elastic component 130 in the first direction to prevent the elastic arm 132 of the elastic component 130 from being subjected to too much thrust, thereby causing the mounting portion 134 to detach from the fixing portion 1131. The distance between the two support plates 1221 of the sliding limiter 122 is greater than the width of the fixed portion 1131, and less than the distance between the two elastic arms 132 in the free state. With such a configuration, the sliding limiter 122 can avoid the fixed portion 1131, and at the same time, can interact with the outer surface of the elastic arm 132 of the elastic component 130, so that when the sliding limiter 122 moves toward the elastic component 130, the fixed portion 1131 can be accommodated in the receiving groove 1223 to avoid collision, and at the same time, the elastic component 130 is limited in the first direction. The two support plates 1221 of the sliding limiter 122 cooperate with the two elastic arms 132 of the elastic component 130 to drive the elastic block 133 to slide out or slide into the elastic block slide groove 1121.

[0071] When the sliding side cover 120 applies a thrust in the second direction, the sliding stopper 122 moves in the second direction and accommodates the mounting portion 134 of the elastic component 130 in the accommodating 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 toward each other in the third direction, and driving the elastic block 133 located at the end of the elastic arm 132 away from the sliding side cover 120 to move toward each other in the third direction, thereby sliding out of the elastic block sliding groove 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 spring blocks 133 to slide out of the spring block slot 1121, the connecting plate 1222 covers the top of 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 to prevent the mounting portion 134 of the elastic component 130 from falling off from 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 opposite direction along the second direction, and the two support plates 1221 of the sliding limit portion 122 separate from the two elastic arms 132 and move in the direction away from the thrust, so that the sliding side cover 110 returns to the initial state. At the same time, the two elastic arms 132 separate from the two support plates 1221, and the two elastic arms 132 return to their original state, and drive the two spring blocks 133 to slide into the spring block slot 1121.

[0072] In order to limit the moving distance of the sliding side cover 120 in the housing 110 along the second direction, the housing 110 further includes a limiting rib 115, which is configured to limit the moving distance of the sliding side cover 120 in the second direction, so as to prevent the sliding side cover 120 from being subjected to excessive thrust, thereby causing the sliding side cover 120 to completely enter the housing 110, and making it inconvenient to reset and press the sliding side cover 120 again. In addition, the limiting rib 115 is arranged away from the sliding side cover 120 relative to the fixing portion 1131, so as to give the sliding side cover 120 a certain moving distance, so as to facilitate the contact between the sliding limiting 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, arranged at the top wall 111 of the housing 110, and extending from the top wall 111 to the bottom wall 113. In other embodiments, the limiting rib 115 may also be disposed on the bottom wall 113 , extending from the bottom wall 113 to the top wall 111 , and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0073] See also Figure 7 and Fig. 9 , and combined 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 arranged at one end away from the spring block slide groove 1121. The buckle portion 140 includes a fixed end 141 and a free end 142 which are arranged and connected in sequence, and a side of the free end 142 away from the fixed end 141 extends in a direction away from the housing 110 to form a stop protrusion 143. The stop protrusion 143 is used to stably connect the track adapter 100 to the track 200. The spring block slide groove 1121 and the buckle portion 140 are provided on both side walls 112 of the housing 110. When the spring block 133 slides into the spring block slide groove 1121, four auxiliary support points are formed with the stop protrusion 143 to fix the track adapter 100 on the track 200. At the same time, since the buckle portion 140 is disposed at an end away from the spring block slide groove 1121, the four auxiliary support points are also located at the four corners of the track adapter 100, so as to more firmly fix the track adapter 100 on the track 200. When the external force on the stop protrusion 143 reaches a preset threshold, the stop protrusion 143 disposed at the free end 142 can be deformed relative to the fixed end 141 toward the housing 110 to release the connection between the stop protrusion 143 and the track 200 or facilitate the connection of the stop protrusion 143 to the anti-detachment boss 230 of the track 200.

[0074] The stop protrusion 143 further includes a guide slope 1431, which is disposed on a side of the stop protrusion 143 close to the fixed end 141, that is, the guide slope 1431 is disposed on the stop protrusion 143 and extends downwardly from an end close to the fixed end 141 to an end away from the fixed end 141. With such a configuration, when the track adapter 100 is upwardly mounted into the track 200, when the stop protrusion 143 is squeezed by the inner surface of the track 200, the guide slope 1431 can guide the force direction of the stop protrusion 143, so that the stop protrusion 143 is conveniently inserted into the anti-slip boss 230 of the track 200.

[0075] Furthermore, the stop protrusion 143 further includes an abutting inclined surface 1432, which is arranged on a side of the stop protrusion 143 close to the block slide groove 1121 and extends obliquely from an end close to the block slide groove 1121 to an end away from the block slide groove 1121. That is, the abutting inclined surface 1432 is located on the side of the stop protrusion 143 close to the block slide groove 1121 and is adjacent to the guiding inclined surface 1431. Such arrangement facilitates the separation of the stop protrusion 143 from the anti-detachment boss 230 of the track 200, thereby releasing the connection between the track adapter 100 and the track 200, and facilitating the removal of the track adapter 100 from the track 200 (the specific removal process is described below).

[0076] Furthermore, the track adapter 100 also includes a contact spring 150, which is arranged in the installation space 114 of the shell 110 and at least partially exposed to the side wall 112 of the shell 110, so as to be electrically connected to the conductive member 240 on the track 200, so that the track adapter 100 is mechanically connected to the track 200 and electrically connected at the same time.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, the contact spring 150 includes a pair of power supply springs 151 and a pair of signal springs 152. The power supply springs 151 and the signal springs 152 are both arranged in the installation space 114 of the housing 110 and exposed on the side wall 112 of the housing 110. The power supply spring 151 is used to contact and cooperate with the power supply conductive member 241 of the track 200, and the signal spring 152 is used to contact and cooperate with the signal conductive member 242 of the track 200. In this embodiment, the pair of power supply springs 151 and the pair of signal springs 152 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the length direction of the housing 110, that is, each side wall 112 of the housing 110 has a power supply spring 151 and a signal spring 152 exposed, and on the same side wall 112 of the housing 110, the power supply spring 151 and the signal are staggered up and down. Such an arrangement facilitates the electrical connection between the track adapter 100 and the track 200. In other embodiments, a pair of power springs or a pair of signal springs 152 may also be disposed on the same side wall 112 , and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0078] In another optional embodiment, the contact spring 150 includes four power supply springs 151, and the four power supply springs 151 include two positive poles and two negative poles. Correspondingly, the track 200 includes four power supply conductive parts 241, so that a dual electrical circuit is formed between the track adapter 100 and the track 200 to solve the market trend of independent control of dual-channel output of dimming and color adjustment products, and each channel of the four-wire three-circuit can be independently controlled. The combination of the power supply springs 151 can also be deleted according to the circuit requirements of the actual application.

[0079] The power supply spring 151 and the signal spring 152 may have a certain elasticity. When the power supply spring 151 contacts and cooperates with the power supply conductive member 241, the power supply conductive member 241 exerts a certain force on the power supply spring 151. The restoring force of the power supply spring 151 enables the power supply spring 151 to better contact and cooperate with the power supply conductive member 241, thereby achieving a reliable electrical connection. When the signal spring 152 contacts and cooperates with the signal conductive member 242, the signal conductive member 242 exerts a certain force on the signal spring 152. The restoring force of the signal spring 152 enables the signal spring 152 to better contact and cooperate with the signal conductive member 242, thereby achieving a reliable signal connection. The power supply spring piece 151 and the signal spring piece 152 may have a certain elasticity, so that when the track adapter 100 slides in the track 200, the power supply spring piece 151 and the signal spring piece 152 are always in contact with the power supply conductive piece 241 and the signal conductive piece 242 of the track 200, and will not affect the power supply and signal transmission of the electrical system 300 having the track 200 and the track adapter 100.

[0080] See also Fig.10 , and combined with Figure 11-12 As shown, the present invention further provides a track 200 that is connected to the track adapter 100, and the track 200 is mechanically and electrically connected to the track adapter 100. The track 200 has a receiving space 210, and 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, and the track adapter 100 can slide freely along the track 200, thereby moving the installation position of the electrical device coupled to the track adapter 100 on the track 200 as needed.

[0081] It is known that the track 200 of the present invention can be an embedded track 200, an exposed track 200 or a suspended track 200, and the present invention is not limited thereto. When the track 200 of the present invention is used as an embedded track 200, the lower surface of the track 200 is fixedly connected to the installation base. Fig.10As shown, a mounting plate 211 extending in the width direction and the length direction of the track 200 is provided on the lower surface of the track 200, and a plurality of mounting holes 2111 are provided on the mounting plate 211. The number of mounting holes 2111 is set according to the length of the track 200, and the present invention is not limited to this. The plurality of mounting holes 2111 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the track 200, and are used to fix the track 200 on the mounting base. Fasteners such as screws pass through the mounting holes 2111, and the heads of the fasteners are finally pressed on both sides of the mounting holes 2111 and locked with the mounting base to fix the track 200 on the mounting base. When the track 200 of the present invention is used as a surface-mounted track 200, the upper surface of the track 200 is fixedly connected to the mounting base. That is, a receiving space 212 for receiving a mounting member (not shown) is provided on the upper surface of the track 200, and the track 200 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base by the mounting member arranged in the receiving space 212. When the track 200 of the present invention is used as a hanging track 200, a traction structure (not shown) such as a hanging wire or a hard hanging rod is connected to the mounting member in the track 200 accommodation space 212 to fix the track 200 on the mounting base. The mounting base in the present invention can be a ceiling or a wall.

[0082] In an optional embodiment, the track 200 includes a first magnetic member 220 disposed at the top of the receiving space 210, and the track adapter 100 includes a second magnetic member 160 disposed at the top of the track adapter 100, and the first magnetic member 220 and the second magnetic member 160 are magnetically matched along a first direction to fix the track adapter 100 in the receiving space 210 of the track 200 along the first direction. Specifically, a mounting groove 213 is provided at the top of the receiving space 210 of the track 200, a first magnetic member 220 is arranged in the mounting groove 213, and a second magnetic member 160 is provided on the top wall 111 of the track adapter 100. When the track adapter 100 is loaded into the receiving space 210 of the track 200 from below, the first magnetic member 220 and the second magnetic member 160 are magnetically matched along the first direction, and the track adapter 100 can be connected to the track 200, so that the electrical device coupled to the track adapter 100 can be installed on the track 200, and the electrical device can slide on the track 200 with the track adapter 100. It can be known that one of the first magnetic member 220 and the second magnetic member 160 can be a permanent magnet, and the other can be an iron sheet, and the permanent magnet and the iron sheet can be magnetically matched. Both of the first magnetic member 220 and the second magnetic member 160 can be permanent magnets, and the opposite magnetic poles of the two permanent magnets can be magnetically matched relative to each other. 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 embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the track 200 and the track adapter 100 are mechanically connected by magnetic connection. In other embodiments, the track 200 and the track adapter 100 can also be directly mechanically connected by means of snap connection, or the track 200 and the track adapter 100 have both magnetic connection and mechanical connection, which is not limited in the present invention.

[0083] In order to further improve the connection stability between the track adapter 100 and the track 200, the track 200 of the present invention is also provided with an anti-slip boss 230 extending along the third direction, and the anti-slip boss 230 is configured to support the elastic component 130 and the buckle part 140 of the track adapter 100. The elastic component 130 and the buckle part 140 and the anti-slip boss 230 are connected to each other and have an interference fit. This arrangement is to prevent the track adapter 100 coupled with the electrical device from falling off the track 200 when the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic attraction member 220 and the second magnetic attraction member 160 disappears or the weight of the electrical device is large. Due to the presence of the elastic component 130 and the buckle part 140, the connection between the track adapter 100 and the track 200 or the connection between the electrical device coupled to the track adapter 100 and the track 200 is more stable, thereby improving the safety of the electrical system 300 having the track 100 and the track adapter 200.

[0084] Optionally, the track adapter 100 and the track 200 may not be provided with other mechanical connection structures, and only the elastic component 130 and the buckle part 140 of the track adapter 100 are mechanically connected with the anti-dropping boss 230 of the track 200. Specifically, the two side walls 112 of the housing 110 of the track adapter 100 are provided with spring block grooves 1121 and buckle parts 140, and the spring block grooves 1121 and the buckle parts 140 are located at both ends of the housing. When the track adapter 100 is installed on the track 200, the two spring blocks 133 slide into the spring block grooves 1121 to achieve mechanical connection with the anti-dropping boss 230 of the track 200, and the stop protrusion 143 returns to deformation and also achieves mechanical connection with the anti-dropping boss 230 of the track 200, that is, the two spring blocks 133 and the two stop protrusions 143 form four stable support points on the anti-dropping boss 230, so that the track adapter 100 and the track 200 can achieve mechanical connection.

[0085] Furthermore, the inner surface of the track 200 is provided with a conductive groove 214, and the conductive member 240 is disposed in the conductive groove 214, extending along the length direction of the track 200, and the contact surface of the conductive member 240 faces the inside of the track 200, and is used to contact the contact spring 150 of the track adapter 100, and achieve electrical connection with the contact spring 150. When the track adapter 100 is coupled to the track 200 along the first direction, the contact spring 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.

[0086] Furthermore, an insulating protective member 250 is further provided on the inner surface of the track 200. The insulating protective member 250 extends along the length direction of the track 200. The insulating protective member 250 is wrapped around the outer peripheral wall of the conductive member 240, and an opening is provided 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 spring 150 on the track adapter 100. The insulating protective member 250 can play an isolating role to avoid short circuit when the track 200 is made of conductive material. When the track 200 is made of insulating material, the insulating protective member 250 can also be omitted.

[0087] In an optional 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 wrapped with an insulating protective 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. Two rows of conductive slots 214 are arranged side by side on the inner surfaces of the two vertically arranged side walls of the track 200 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 slots 214, and the positions of the power supply conductive members 241 and the signal conductive members 242 correspond one to one with the positions of the power supply shrapnel 151 and the signal shrapnel 152. The power supply conductive member 241 is used to be electrically connected to the power supply shrapnel 151 of the track adapter 100 to form an electrical loop, and the signal conductive member 242 is used to be electrically connected to the signal shrapnel 152 of the track adapter 100 to form a control loop, so as to improve the intelligence of the electrical system 300 having the track 200 and the track adapter 100.

[0088] In another optional embodiment, the contact spring 150 includes four power supply springs 151, and the four power supply springs 151 include two positive poles and two negative poles. Correspondingly, the track 200 includes four power supply conductive parts 241, so that a dual electrical circuit is formed between the track adapter 100 and the track 200 to solve the market trend of independent control of dual-channel output of dimming and color adjustment products, and each channel of the four-wire three-circuit can also be independently controlled. The combination of power supply springs 151 or power supply conductive parts 241 can also be deleted according to the circuit requirements of actual applications.

[0089] See also Figure 11-12 Combined with Figure 1-10 As shown, the present invention provides an electrical system 300 that is easy to quickly install and disassemble, and the electrical system 300 includes the above-mentioned track 200 and the above-mentioned track adapter 100. The electrical system 300 also includes an electrical device. 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 device, such as a lamp, a monitoring device, etc., or a power supply device, such as a driving power supply, etc., and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0090] In this embodiment, the track 200 is provided with an anti-slip boss 230 extending along the third direction, and the track 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 separate with the anti-slip boss 230; the buckle portion 140 is connected or separated with the anti-slip boss 230 under the interaction with the inner surface of the track 200, so as to realize the mechanical connection between the track adapter 100 and the track 200, or improve the connection stability of the track adapter 100 and the track 200.

[0091] In addition, a conductive member is provided inside the track 200, and a conductive member 240 is provided on the inner surface of the track 200. The conductive member 240 extends along the length direction of the track 200. A contact spring 150 is provided on the outer surface of the track adapter 100. The conductive member 240 is electrically connected to the contact spring 150 to achieve electrical connection between the track adapter 100 and the track 200. A connector is provided at one end of the track adapter 100 away from the sliding side cover 120, and the connector can mechanically and electrically connect the electrical device to form an electrical system 300.

[0092] The electrical system 300 further includes a driving power source, which can be disposed in the installation base to provide appropriate power to the track 100 and the electrical system 300 having the track 200, while not affecting the aesthetics of the electrical system 300. In other embodiments, the driving power source can also be assembled on the track 200 or placed outside the track 200, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0093] In an optional embodiment, the electrical device is a driving power supply, which can also be directly coupled to the track 200, and other electrical devices, such as lighting fixtures, monitoring equipment, intelligent control devices or sensor modules, can be coupled to the driving power supply. In this case, the driving power supply is integrated with the track adapter 100, that is, the driving power supply is provided in the track adapter 100 to receive the power of the mains and convert it into the power required by other electrical devices. Alternatively, other electrical devices such as lighting fixtures, monitoring equipment, intelligent control devices or sensor modules can also be provided with driving power supplies to realize power conversion, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0094] When the track adapter 100 is installed on the track 200 along the first direction, a thrust is applied to the sliding side cover 120 of the track adapter 100 along the second direction, so that the two support plates 1221 of the sliding stopper 122 of the sliding side cover 120 contact the two elastic arms 132 of the elastic assembly 130, and drive the two elastic arms 132 to move toward each other along the third direction, thereby causing the elastic block 133 at one end of the elastic arm 132 to move toward each other along the third direction and slide out of the elastic block slide groove 1121. At this time, the elastic block 133 is in a retracted state. When the track adapter 100 is pushed into the receiving space 210 of the track 200 along the first direction, 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 stop protrusion 143 of the buckle portion 140 is deformed in a direction close to the track adapter 100 under the guidance of the guide slope 1431. When the track adapter 100 is installed in place in the receiving space 210 (for example, after the second magnetic attraction member 160 located at the top of the track adapter 100 and the first magnetic attraction member 220 located at the top of the receiving space 210 of the track 200 are mutually attracted along the first direction), the stop protrusion 143 of the buckle portion 140 recovers its deformation, and the stop protrusion 143 is connected to the anti-slip boss 230 of the track 200, and has an interference fit. At this time, the sliding side cover 120 is released, and 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 to 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 move away from each other along the third direction driven by their own restoring elastic force, thereby driving the elastic block 133 to move away from each other along the third direction, thereby sliding into the elastic block slide groove 1121 and connecting with the anti-slip boss 230 of the track 200 with an interference fit. At this point, the mechanical installation of the track adapter 100 and the track 200 is completed, and the contact spring 150 located on the outer surface of the track adapter 100 and the conductive member 240 located on the inner surface of the track 100 abut against each other to form a stable electrical connection.

[0095] When the track adapter 100 needs to be removed from the track 200, a thrust is applied to the sliding side cover 120 of the track adapter 100 along the second direction, so that the two support plates 1221 of the sliding stopper 122 of the sliding side cover 120 contact the two elastic arms 132 of the elastic assembly 130, and drive the two elastic arms 132 to move toward each other along the third direction, thereby driving the elastic block 133 at one end of the elastic arm 132 to move toward each other along the third direction and slide out of the elastic block slide groove 1121. At this time, the elastic block 133 is in a retracted state, and the elastic block 133 is separated from the anti-slip boss 230 of the track 200. The end of the track adapter 100 provided with the sliding side cover 120 is pulled downward along the first direction, so that the track adapter 100 rotates downward with the stop protrusion 143 of the buckle portion 140 as the center. Since the side of the stop protrusion 143 close to the spring block slide groove 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 stop protrusion 143 of the buckle part 140 is guided by the abutting inclined surface 1432 and deforms in the direction close to the track adapter 100, and the stop protrusion 143 of the buckle part 140 is separated from the anti-detachment boss 230 of the track 200, so that the track adapter 100 is easily removed. At this time, the track adapter 100 is completely removed from the track 200.

[0096] It can be known that the track adapter 100 and the track 200 can be quickly installed and removed by manually pressing the sliding side cover 120, or the track adapter 100 and the track 200 can be quickly installed and removed by automatically pressing the sliding side cover 120 by a control device, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0097] Example 2

[0098] In the second embodiment, the structure of the track adapter 100 is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, but some details are different. Only the different parts are described here, and the same parts are not repeated.

[0099] See also Figure 13-20 Combined with Figure 10-12As shown, a track adapter 100 of 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. A side wall 112 of the housing 110 is provided with an elastic block slot 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 ribs 116 to drive the elastic block 133. Slide out or slide into the spring block slot 1121. Such arrangement can realize the rapid installation and removal of the track adapter 100 and the track 200, and improve the connection stability of the track adapter 100 and the track 200.

[0100] 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.

[0101] 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.

[0102] The sliding side cover 120 is slidably connected to the end of the housing 110 and is at least partially accommodated in the installation space to facilitate the application of thrust to the sliding side cover 120. The sliding side cover 120 also includes a pressing portion exposed to the housing 110 and a limiting wall accommodated 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 Example 1 and are not described in detail here. When the sliding side cover 120 is subjected to a thrust along 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, and the two elastic arms 132 of the elastic component 130 are respectively in contact with the two guide ribs 116 arranged in the housing 110, so that the two elastic arms 132 move in a direction close to each other, thereby causing the spring block 133 to slide out of the spring block slide groove 1121. When the thrust disappears, the elastic arms 132 move away from each other under the elastic force of the elastic assembly 130 , thereby causing the elastic block 133 to slide into the elastic block slot 1121 .

[0103] The elastic component 130 is arranged in a U shape, including two elastic arms 132 symmetrically arranged at 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 close 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 guide rib 116 in the housing 110, thereby deforming.

[0104] 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. The inner side wall 112 connected to the second end 1322 and the third end 1323 is recessed in a direction away from the sliding side cover 120 to form a deformation point 135, so as to guide the elastic component 130 to deform with the deformation point 135 as a designated point, so that its motion trajectory is controllable and it is more stable after being installed with the track 200.

[0105] 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 arranged at the first end 1321 of the elastic arm 132. In this arrangement, when there is no thrust or the thrust disappears, the elastic arm 132 moves away from each other along the third direction under the action of its own elastic force, and drives the elastic block 133 located at the first end 1321 of each elastic arm 132 to move away from each other along the third direction, thereby sliding into the elastic block slide groove 1121 and maintaining the extended state. In an optional embodiment, the distance between the two elastic arms 132 increases from the position close to the connecting portion 124 to the position away from the connecting portion 124, and in this arrangement, the two elastic arms 132 are greater than the width of the housing 110 in the stretched state, and can spontaneously drive the elastic block 133 to slide into the elastic block slide groove 1121 and maintain the extended state.

[0106] Optionally, the spring block 133 is arranged near the sliding side cover 120 relative to the elastic arm 132, and an inclined surface 1331 is arranged on the side of the spring block 133 near the spring block slot 1121, and the inclined surface 1331 is inclined from one end near the spring block slot 1121 to one end near the sliding side cover 120. That is, the inclined surface 1331 is arranged near the sliding side cover 120. This arrangement 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 away from the sliding side cover 120 contacts the guide 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 toward 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 slide groove 1121. The setting of the inclined surface 1331 can facilitate the elastic block 133 to slide out of the elastic block slide groove 1121 and shrink into the installation space of the housing 110. When the thrust disappears, the elastic arms 132 move away from each other along the third direction under the elastic force of the elastic assembly 130. At this time, the setting of the inclined surface 1331 also facilitates the elastic block 133 to slide into the elastic block slide groove 1121 and be exposed outside the housing 110.

[0107] In this embodiment, the elastic component 130 is made of plastic, and the elastic physical property of plastic is utilized to deform the elastic arm 132 when it is subjected to a thrust, and after the thrust disappears, the elastic arm 132 automatically restores the elastic deformation, so that the elastic block 133 slides into or out of the elastic block slot 1121, thereby achieving rapid installation and removal of the track adapter 100. In other embodiments, the elastic component 130 may also be made of other elastic materials, such as an elastic metal sheet, etc., and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0108] 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.

[0109] 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.

[0110] 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.

[0111] 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 component 130 at least partially enters the clearance channel 117 along the second direction, and the elastic arm 132 that does not enter 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 slot 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.

[0112] 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.

[0113] 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 position of the second end 1322 of the elastic arm 132 close to the deformation point 135, thereby cooperating with the elastic arm 132 to make the two elastic arms 132 move closer to or away from each other with the deformation point 135 as the 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 moved closer to 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, and 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, so that 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.

[0114] 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.

[0115] Similarly, the track adapter 100 in Embodiment 2 also includes a contact spring 150 for electrically connecting to the conductive member 240 of the track 200. The structure and arrangement of the contact spring 150 can refer to the introduction of Embodiment 1, and the present invention will not be described in detail here.

[0116] See also Figure 10-12 , and combined 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 Example 2. The structure of the track 200 may be the same as or different from the structure of the track 200 in Example 1, and the present invention is not limited thereto. As long as an anti-slip boss 230 extending along the third direction is provided in the track 200, the sliding side cover 120 of the track adapter 100 drives the elastic component 130 to cooperate with the guide rib 116 so that the spring block 133 of the elastic component 130 is connected to or separated from the anti-slip boss 230; the buckle portion 140 is connected to or separated from the anti-slip boss 230 under the interaction with the inner surface of the track 200, and the present invention is not limited thereto and will not be repeated.

[0117] The present invention further provides an electrical system 300 that is easy to quickly install and disassemble, and the electrical system 300 includes the above-mentioned track 200 and the above-mentioned track adapter 100. The electrical system 300 also 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 device, such as a lamp, a monitoring device, etc., or a power supply device, such as a driving power supply, etc., and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0118] Part of the structure and connection method of the electrical system 300 in Example 2 is substantially the same as that in Example 1, and will not be described in detail here, and only the differences will be described.

[0119] When the track adapter 100 is installed on the track 200 along the first direction, a thrust is applied to the sliding assembly 170 of the track adapter 100 along the second direction, so that the sliding side cover 120 drives the elastic assembly 130 to move into the shell 110 along the second direction, and the two elastic arms 132 of the elastic assembly 130 contact the two guide ribs 116 in the shell 110 and partially enter the make way channel 117. The two guide ribs 116 block the two elastic arms 132 from moving along 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 toward each other along the third direction, thereby causing the elastic block 133 located at the first end 1331 of the elastic arm 132 to move toward each other along the third direction and slide out of the elastic block slide groove 1121. At this time, the elastic block 133 is in a retracted state. When the track adapter 100 is pushed into the receiving space 210 of the track 200 along the first direction, 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 stop protrusion 143 of the buckle portion 140 is deformed in the direction close to the track adapter 100 under the guidance of the guide slope 1431. When the track adapter 100 is installed in place in the receiving space 210 (for example, after the second magnetic attraction member 160 at the top of the track adapter 100 and the first magnetic attraction member 220 at the top of the receiving space 210 of the track 200 are mutually attracted along the first direction), the stop protrusion 143 of the buckle portion 140 recovers its deformation, and the stop protrusion 143 is connected to the anti-slip boss 230 of the track 200, and is interference fit. At this time, the sliding side cover 120 is released, and the thrust on the sliding side cover 120 is cancelled. Driven by its own restoring elastic force, the two elastic arms 132 of the elastic component 130 move away from each other along the third direction, and the elastic arm 132 contacts the arc wall 1163 of the guide rib 116 close to the first wall 1161. The first wall 1161 converts the lateral thrust along the third direction into a vertical thrust along the second direction, so that 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 and connecting with the anti-slip boss 230 of the track 200 with an interference fit. At this point, the mechanical installation of the track adapter 100 and the track 200 is completed, and the contact spring 150 located on the outer surface of the track adapter 100 and the conductive member 240 located on the inner surface of the track 100 abut against each other to form a stable electrical connection.

[0120] When the track adapter 100 needs to be removed from the track 200, a thrust is applied to the sliding assembly 170 of the track adapter 100 along the second direction, so that the sliding side cover 120 drives the elastic assembly 130 to move into the shell 110 along the second direction, and the two elastic arms 132 of the elastic assembly 130 contact the two guide ribs 116 in the shell 110 and partially enter the make way channel 117. The two guide ribs 116 block the two elastic arms 132 from moving along 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 toward each other along the third direction, thereby causing the spring block 133 located at the first end 1331 of the spring arm 132 to move toward each other along the third direction and slide out of the spring block slide groove 1121. At this time, the spring block 133 is in a retracted state, and the spring block 133 is separated from the anti-slip boss 230 of the track 200. The end of the track adapter 100 provided with the sliding side cover 120 is pulled downward in the first direction, so that the track adapter 100 rotates downward with the stop protrusion 143 of the buckle part 140 as the center. Since the side of the stop protrusion 143 close to the spring block slide groove 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 stop protrusion 143 of the buckle part 140 is deformed in the direction close to the track adapter 100 under the guidance of the abutting inclined surface 1432, and the stop protrusion 143 of the buckle part 140 is separated from the anti-detachment boss 230 of the track 200, so that the track adapter 100 is easily removed. At this time, the track adapter 100 is completely removed from the track 200.

[0121] It can be known that the pressing method of the sliding component 170 in Embodiment 2 can also be manual or automatic, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0122] In summary, the track adapter 100 of the present invention is provided with two guide ribs 116 cooperating with the elastic arm 132, and a clearance channel 117 for the elastic component 130 to make way is formed between the two guide ribs 116. When the elastic component 130 moves relative to the guide ribs 116, the guide ribs 116 give the elastic arm 132 a deformation force, thereby driving the spring block 133 to slide out or slide into the spring block slot 1211, so as to realize the rapid installation and disassembly of the track adapter 100 and the track 200, and improve the connection stability of the track adapter 100 and the track 200.

[0123] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solution of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
