[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] See also Figure 1-5FIG. 1 is a track 100 of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The track 100 is made of a rigid material and is in a long flat shape. The track 100 is used to be assembled on a mounting base and can be coupled with an electrical device 300 to form an electrical system 400, or the electrical device 300 is coupled with the track 100 through a track adapter 200 to form an electrical system 400 (see FIG. 1 ). Fig. 20 and Fig. 27 ). In this embodiment, the track 100 is made of aluminum alloy material, so that the track 100 has the advantages of rigid support, light weight, strong corrosion resistance and stable chemical properties. In other embodiments, the track 100 can also be other rigid conductive materials or insulating materials, and the present invention is not limited to this.
[0057] The track 100 includes a main body 11 and a power supply conductor 13 disposed in the main body 11. The main body 11 extends along the length direction and has a width direction and a thickness direction perpendicular to the length direction, and includes a top wall 111 for assembly with a mounting base, a bottom wall 112 disposed opposite to the top wall 111, and a left side wall 113 and a right side wall 114 disposed between the top wall 111 and the bottom wall 112. The top wall 111 and the bottom wall 112 of the track 100 extend along the length direction and the width direction of the track 100, and the left side wall 113 and the right side wall 114 of the track 100 extend along the length direction and the thickness direction of the track 100.
[0058] A plurality of mounting holes 1111 are provided on one side of the top wall 111 of the track 100 facing the installation base, and the number of mounting holes 1111 is set according to the length of the track 100, which is not limited by the present invention. The plurality of mounting holes 1111 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the track 100, and are used to fix the track 100 on the installation base. Optionally, the track 100 of the present invention can be a surface-mounted track 100 or a hanging track 100, which is not limited by the present invention. When the track 100 of the present invention is used as a surface-mounted track 100, the installation base can be a ceiling or a wall, and fasteners such as screws pass through the mounting holes 1111, and the heads of the fasteners are finally pressed on both sides of the mounting holes 1111 of the top wall 111 and locked with the installation base to fix the track 100 on the installation base. When the track 100 of the present invention is used as a hanging track 100, the track 100 is fixed on the installation base by a traction structure 1112, such as a hanging wire, a hard hanging rod, etc.
[0059] Please continue reading Figure 1-5 Combined with Figure 20-24As shown, the left side wall 113 and the right side wall 114 of the track 100 are recessed in a direction close to each other to form a first guide groove 121 and a second guide groove 122 suitable for mechanical connection, that is, the track 100 is arranged in an I-shaped shape, and the left side wall 113 and the right side wall 114 of the track 100 are recessed toward the inside of the main body 11 to form the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122. The main body 11 includes a central axis perpendicular to the width direction, and the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis and extend along the length direction of the track 100.
[0060] The first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 both include an opening 123 away from the central axis and a fixing surface 124 close to the central axis. That is, the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 are both in an inverted U shape, connected to the outside, and the openings 123 of the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 are arranged on the outer wall surfaces of the left side wall 113 and the right side wall 114. The first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 of the track adapter 200 are inserted into the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 of the track 100 from the opening 123, and mechanically connected with the track 100 are achieved, and can slide in the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 along the length direction of the track 100. With such a configuration, the track adapter 200 can be matched and connected with the track 100 from the outer side of the track 100, avoiding the problem in the prior art that the track 100 needs to extend vertically downward to form a guide groove and take power from the inside, effectively reducing the thickness of the track 100 and reducing the space occupied by the track 100. At the same time, the mechanical connection method of the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 can avoid the potential safety hazard caused by the electrical equipment 300 falling off due to the unstable magnetic connection, and improve the stability and safety of the connection of the track 100.
[0061] The first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 each include an upper surface 125 and a lower surface 126 that are relatively arranged along the length direction of the main body 11. The extension length of the upper surface 125 and the lower surface 126 in the width direction of the main body 11 is greater than the vertical distance between the upper surface 125 and the lower surface 126. This arrangement is used to increase the contact area between the track 100 and the track adapter 200, thereby improving the stability and safety of the connection of the track 100.
[0062] There are at least two power supply conductive members 13, and the at least two power supply conductive members 13 are in the shape of flat strips, which are respectively positive and negative electrodes, and are inserted into the main body 11. The outer peripheral wall thereof is wrapped by the insulating member 15 to play a role of separation and insulation, so as to avoid short circuit when the track 100 is a conductive material. When the track 100 is an insulating material, the insulating member 15 can also be omitted. The insulating member 15 is provided with an opening 151 on one side facing the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122, so that the power supply conductive member 13 can be exposed to the insulating member 15, and at least partially exposed in the first guide groove 121 and / or the second guide groove 122. Preferably, the power supply conductive member 13 and the insulating member 15 are both arranged on the upper surface 125 and / or the lower surface 126. The shape of the insulating member 15 matches the shape of the power supply conductive member 13, and is wrapped around the outer peripheral wall of the power supply conductive member 13. An opening 151 is provided on one side of the power supply conductive member 13 close to the upper surface 125 and / or the lower surface 126, so that the power supply conductive member 13 is at least partially exposed to the upper surface 125 and / or the lower surface 126, and further at least partially exposed to the first guide groove 121 and / or the second guide groove 122. This arrangement allows the track 100 and the track adapter 200 to be electrically connected while being mechanically connected through the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122, which is convenient and quick.
[0063] In an optional embodiment, four power supply conductive members 13 may be provided, and the four power supply conductive members 13 include two positive electrodes and two negative electrodes, which are respectively arranged on the upper surface 125 and the lower surface 126 of the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122, so that the track 100 has a dual electrical circuit 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 conductive members 13 can also be deleted according to the circuit requirements of the actual application.
[0064] Furthermore, in order to improve the intelligence of the electrical system 400 having the track 100, the track 100 further includes at least two signal conductive members 14, which are in the form of flat strips and can contact and cooperate with the signal springs 24 on the track adapter 200 to form a control loop ( Fig.24 ). An insulating member 15 is wrapped around the outer peripheral wall of the signal conductive member 14, and the shape of the insulating member 15 matches the shape of the signal conductive member 14 to guide the insulating separation function. The insulating member 15 is provided with an opening 151 on the side of the signal conductive member 14 close to the upper surface 125 and / or the lower surface 126, so that the signal conductive member 14 is at least partially exposed to the upper surface 125 and / or the lower surface 126, and then at least partially in the first guide groove 121 and / or the second guide groove 122, so as to realize intelligent control of the track 100.
[0065] In an optional embodiment, the track 100 includes two power supply conductive members 13 and two signal conductive members 14, and the two power supply conductive members 13 and the two signal conductive members 14 are staggered along the central axis of the main body 11. For example, the two power supply conductive members 13 are respectively arranged on the upper surface 125 of the first guide groove 121 and the lower surface 126 of the second guide groove 122, and the two signal conductive members 14 are respectively arranged on the lower surface 126 of the first guide groove 121 and the upper surface 125 of the second guide groove 122. When the track adapter 200 is connected to the track 100, the two power supply conductive members 13 and the two signal conductive members 14 are respectively contacted and matched with the two power supply springs 23 and the two signal springs 24 on the track adapter 200 to simultaneously form an electrical circuit and a control circuit. It can be known that the power supply conductive member 13 and the signal conductive member 14 can also be arranged in an alternate manner along the central axis of the main body 11, or the signal conductive member 14 and the power supply conductive member 13 can be arranged symmetrically along the central axis of the main body 11, or the signal conductive member 14 and the power supply conductive member 13 can be arranged symmetrically along the direction perpendicular to the central axis. In other words, the power supply conductive member 13 and the signal conductive member 14 can be interchanged left and right or up and down on the upper surface 125 and the lower surface 126 of the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122, as long as the track 100 can form an electrical circuit and a control circuit when connected to the track adapter 200. In this embodiment, the power supply conductive member 13 and the signal conductive member 14 are both copper bars. Copper bars have high conductivity and low cost, and are a good choice for electrical connection. In other embodiments, the power supply conductive member 13 and the signal conductive member 14 can also be made of other elastic metal materials, and the scope of the present invention is not limited in this respect.
[0066] In the case of using four wires for power supply and control, two power supply conductive members 13 and two signal conductive members 14 are respectively arranged on the upper surface 125 and the lower surface 126 of the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122. When the track 100 is mechanically connected to the track adapter 200, the two power supply conductive members 13 and the two signal conductive members 14 can respectively realize an electrical circuit and a control circuit with the two power supply shrapnels 23 and the two signal shrapnels 24 on the track adapter 200 ( Fig.24). Such a setting can solve the problem in the prior art that the power supply conductive member 13 is set on the fixed surface 124 located on the inner side of the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122. When power supply and control of four lines are required, at least two pairs of guide grooves need to be set on the vertical surface of the track 100, which makes the size of the track 100 larger and the height higher, affecting the overall appearance of the track 100. In the prior art, in order to meet the use of power supply and control of four lines, the width of the track 100 is generally 30mm, and the thickness of the track 100 generally reaches 20mm~30mm, which makes the thickness of the track 100 thicker and occupies a larger area. In this embodiment, under the condition of meeting the use of power supply and control, without changing the width of the track 100, the thickness of the track 100 is less than or equal to 8mm, and the ratio between the thickness of the track 100 and the width of the track 100 is less than 1 / 3, which takes up almost no space, effectively solves the problem of the track 100 occupying the floor height, and improves the scope of application of the track 100. As a variation, when the four power supply conductive members 13 form at least two power supply circuits, the four power supply conductive members 13 are respectively arranged on the upper surface 125 and the lower surface 126 of the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122, which can also effectively reduce the thickness of the track 100, and the present invention is not limited to this.
[0067] Furthermore, the track 100 further includes a support portion 16 connecting the top wall 111 and the bottom wall 112 in the thickness (height) direction. In the width direction, the support portion 16 is located between the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122, and is used to support the track 100, enhance the overall strength, and can be used as a basis for setting the lighting assembly 17. The support portion 16 is provided with a receiving groove 161 that penetrates the top wall 111 and / or the bottom wall 112. At least one group of lighting assemblies 17 is arranged in the receiving groove 161. The lighting assembly 17 is arranged between the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 in the width direction, and emits light in the direction of the top wall 111 and / or the bottom wall 112. Such an arrangement allows the track 100 to provide its own auxiliary lighting without affecting the use of the track 100, avoiding the lack of lighting supplement in the part of the track 100 where the lighting fixture is not installed, effectively utilizing the space of the track 100, improving the lighting environment and lighting effect, and meeting the needs of zoned lighting.
[0068] In an optional embodiment, a receiving groove 161 penetrating the bottom wall 112 is provided on the support portion 16, and a group of lighting components 17 are provided in the receiving groove 161. The lighting components 17 are arranged between the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 along the width direction, and emit light in the direction of the bottom wall 112. The lighting components 17 include a substrate 171 and a light-emitting member 172. The substrate 171 extends along the length direction of the track 100 and is fixed on a side of the top wall 111 close to the bottom wall 112. The light-emitting member 172 is arranged on a side of the substrate 171 away from the top wall 111, and emits light in the direction of the bottom wall 112. Preferably, the light-emitting member 172 is an LED lamp bead, which is evenly arranged on a side of the substrate 171 away from the top wall 111 to provide independent lighting for the track 100. Optionally, the lighting component 17 can use an RGB color light source to play a role in setting off the atmosphere.
[0069] When there are lighting fixtures coupled to the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 of the track 100, the lighting fixtures can provide main lighting, and the lighting assembly 17 can provide auxiliary lighting, so as to effectively utilize the space of the track, meet the needs of partitioned lighting, create multi-level light, and improve the user experience. The lighting fixture and the lighting assembly 17 can be controlled separately, or in a lighting environment without special requirements, there is no need to install lighting fixtures, and only the auxiliary lighting provided by the lighting assembly 17 on the track 100 is used to increase the atmosphere and improve the diversified functions of the track 100.
[0070] The lighting assembly 17 also includes a light emitting portion 173, which is disposed at a position of the receiving groove 161 close to the bottom wall 112 and is fixedly connected to the support portion 16. The light emitting portion 173 includes a bottom plate 1731 and a side plate 1732 extending from the bottom plate 1731 toward the top wall 111. The support portion 16 is provided with a slot at a position corresponding to the side plate 1732, and the side plate 1732 extends into the slot and is engaged with the support portion 16. The plane where the lowest point of the light emitting portion 173 is located is flush with the plane where the lowest point of the bottom wall 112 is located, so as to improve the aesthetics of the track 100 without affecting the overall thickness of the track 100, and maintain the ultra-thin structure of the track 100.
[0071] As a variation, a receiving groove 161 penetrating the top wall 111 may be provided on the support portion 16, a group of lighting components 17 may be provided in the receiving groove 161, the lighting components 17 may be arranged between the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 along the width direction, and emit light in the direction of the top wall 112, at this time, the plane where the highest point of the light emitting portion 173 is located is flush with the plane where the highest point of the fixed wall 111 is located, so as to improve the aesthetics of the track 100, and the overall thickness of the track 100 is not affected, and the track 100 is kept ultra-thin. Alternatively, a receiving groove 161 penetrating the top wall 111 and the bottom wall 112 may be provided on the support portion 16, two groups of lighting components 17 may be provided in the receiving groove 161, both of which may be arranged between the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 along the width direction, and respectively arranged near the top wall 111 and the bottom wall 112, and emit light in the direction of the bottom wall 112 and the direction of the top wall 111, respectively. At this time, two light emitting portions 173 are provided, and the two light emitting portions 173 are respectively arranged at positions of the receiving groove 161 close to the top wall 111 and the bottom wall 112, and are fixedly connected to the support portion 16. The plane where the highest point of the light emitting portion 173 located at the top wall 111 is located is flush with the plane where the highest point on the top wall 111 is located, and the plane where the lowest point of the light emitting portion 173 located at the bottom wall 112 is located is flush with the plane where the lowest point on the bottom wall 112 is located.
[0072] The light emitting portion 173 may be a diffusion plate or a light guide plate, so that the light emitting portion 173 can evenly and softly diffuse the light emitted by the light emitting component 172 toward the top wall 111 and / or the bottom wall 112 while blocking the receiving groove 161, thereby reducing the formation of segmented light spots caused by the spaced arrangement of the light emitting component 172 and preventing dust from entering the receiving groove 161 and affecting the life of the lighting assembly 17.
[0073] Optionally, the lighting assembly 17 may further include a light distribution element (not shown), such as a lens, a reflector, etc. The lens and / or the reflector may be arranged one-to-one with the light emitting element 172, or a plurality of light emitting elements 172 may share one lens and / or one reflector, which is not limited in the present invention.
[0074] In an optional embodiment, a receiving groove 161 is provided on the support portion 16 and passes through the top wall 111 and the bottom wall 112. A group of lighting components 17 are provided in the receiving groove 161. The lighting component 17 is arranged between the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 along the width direction, and the lighting component 17 is arranged at a position close to the top wall 111. The light-emitting component 172 is arranged on a side of the substrate 171 away from the top wall 111, and emits light in the direction of the bottom wall 112. An annular reflector is provided in the light-emitting direction of the light-emitting component 172. The center ring of the annular reflector is light-transmissive, and the annular wall surrounding the center ring of the reflector can reflect light, so that a part of the light emitted by the light-emitting component 172 is emitted toward the bottom wall 112 through the center ring of the reflector, and the other part is reflected by the annular wall of the reflector and then emitted toward the top wall 111. In this way, a group of lighting components 17 are arranged in the track 100 to simultaneously emit light toward the top wall 111 and the bottom wall 112, thereby improving the aesthetics of the track 100 without affecting the overall thickness of the track 100 and maintaining the ultra-thin structure of the track 100.
[0075] As a variation, two groups of lighting components 17 may be provided in the track 100. By providing a light distribution element in the receiving groove 161, the two groups of lighting components 17 may emit light simultaneously toward the top wall 111 or simultaneously toward the bottom wall 112. The present invention is not limited to this.
[0076] Furthermore, the lighting assembly 17 is integrally formed with the track 100, and the lighting assembly 17 is contained inside the track 100. Without affecting the use of the track 100, the lighting assembly 17 can also provide decorative lighting by itself. The overall structure is simple and the shape is beautiful.
[0077] Furthermore, the track 100 further includes end caps 18 disposed at both ends of the main body 11, and the end caps 18 are mechanically connected to the main body 11. Optionally, the support portion 16 is provided with a fixing hole 162, and a fastener passes through the fixing hole 162 to fix the end caps 18 to the track 100, but the present invention is not limited thereto. By providing the end caps 18, the aesthetics of the track 100 can be improved, and dust can be prevented from entering the receiving groove 161 to affect the performance of the lighting assembly 17 in the track 100.
[0078] See also Figure 6-11 As shown, the track 100 further includes an adapter 19, which is configured to cascade at least two tracks 100, and at least two tracks 100 are mechanically and electrically connected through the adapter 19. The track 100 is cascaded into different track light groups 1 through the adapter 19 to meet more lighting needs.
[0079] Furthermore, the adapter 19 includes an insulating body 191, and a conductive terminal 192 and a docking portion 193 disposed in the insulating body 191 and partially protruding out of the insulating body 191. There are at least two conductive terminals 192, which are positive and negative, respectively, and are disposed corresponding to the at least two power supply conductive members 13 of the track 100. Since the at least two power supply conductive members 13 of the track 100 are respectively located on the upper surface 125 and the lower surface 126 of the first guide groove 121 and / or the second guide groove 122, the conductive terminal 192 of the adapter 19 is correspondingly disposed on the top surface or the bottom surface of the docking portion 193, so that when the docking portion 193 extends into the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 of at least two tracks 100, the conductive terminal 192 is electrically connected to the signal conductive member 14, so that at least two tracks 100 are mechanically and electrically connected through the conductive terminal 192 of the adapter 19 and the docking portion 193 to form a track light assembly 1.
[0080] According to the requirements of the track light group 1, different structures of adapters 19 are selected to make the structures of the cascaded track light groups 1 different. Optionally, the adapter 19 includes but is not limited to structures such as a straight line, a T-shaped, a cross-shaped, a square-shaped, and an L-shaped facade, so the track light group 1 can be formed into a straight line, a T-shaped, a cross-shaped, a square-shaped, and an L-shaped facade, but not limited to this, to meet the diverse needs of users. Optionally, the track 100 can also be mechanically and electrically connected to various electrical equipment 300 through the adapter 19, so as to improve the scope of application of the track 100, which is convenient and reliable.
[0081] See also Figure 12-19 Combined with Figure 20-26 As shown, the present invention provides a track adapter 200 according to a preferred embodiment. The track adapter 200 is used to be snapped onto the track 100 to achieve mechanical and electrical connection with the track 100 .
[0082] The track adapter 200 includes a connection body 21, a first clamping member 221 and a second clamping member 222 respectively movably connected to the connection body 21, a power supply spring 23 provided on the first clamping member 221 and / or the second clamping member 222 for electrically connecting to the track 100, and a pressing portion 271 located between the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 and movably connected to the connection body 21. The direction in which the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 move relative to the connection body 21 is defined as a first direction, and a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement is defined as a second direction.
[0083] The first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 are arranged facing each other from opposite sides of the connecting body 21, that is, the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 are both arranged in a direction close to the connecting body 21, and are surrounded by the connecting body 21 to form a receiving space 25 for at least partially receiving the track 100. The receiving space 25 is generally in a convex shape, including a first space 251 and a second space 252 that are interconnected. The first space 251 is formed by the shell 211 of the connecting body 21, the third part 225 of the first clamping member 221, and the third part 225 of the second clamping member 222. The second space 252 is formed by the vertical side wall 2236 of the first clamping member 221 close to the second clamping member 222 and the vertical side wall 2236 of the second clamping member 222 close to the first clamping member 221. Since the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 are disposed opposite to each other, the distance between the second spaces 252 in the first direction is smaller than the distance between the first spaces 251 , so that the convex receiving space 25 is just matched and connected with the I-shaped track 100 .
[0084] When the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 of the track adapter 200 enter the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 from the left side wall 113 and the right side wall 114 of the track 100 respectively, the first clamping member 221 and the first guide groove 121 are in surface contact, and the second clamping member 222 and the second guide groove 122 are in surface contact, so as to achieve mechanical connection. The power supply spring piece 23 located on the first clamping member 221 and / or the second clamping member 222 elastically abuts against the power supply conductive member 13 located in the first guide groove 121 and / or the second guide groove 122, so as to achieve electrical connection. At the same time, the relatively wide bottom wall 112 of the track 100 is accommodated in the relatively large first space 251, and the relatively narrow support portion 16 is at least partially accommodated in the relatively small second space 252. With such a configuration, the track adapter 200 can be connected from the outside of the left and right side walls 114 of the track 100, which is convenient for installation, and the track adapter 200 partially overlaps with the track 100 in the height direction, thereby reducing the height of the electrical system 400 having the track adapter 200 and the track 100. At the same time, because the track adapter 200 is installed on the outside of the track 100, independent wireless control of the electrical system 400 can be achieved, solving the technical problem that the conventional track adapter 200 is installed inside the track 100 and the wireless communication signal is weak.
[0085] The connecting body 21 includes a shell 211, and the shell 211 includes an upper shell 2111 and a lower shell 2112. An installation space 2113 is formed between the upper shell 2111 and the lower shell 2112. The first clamping member 221, the second clamping member 222 and the pressing portion 271 are at least partially accommodated in the installation space 2113. Optionally, four coupling portions 212 are provided on a side of the lower shell 2112 close to the upper shell 2111, and the four coupling portions 212 are respectively located at four angles of the lower shell 2112. Each coupling portion 212 includes a first limit baffle 2121 extending in a direction parallel to the first direction, a second limit baffle 2122 extending in a direction parallel to the second direction, and a hollow fixing column 2123 located inside the first limit baffle 2121 and the second limit baffle 2122. The upper shell 2111 is provided with a through hole 2114, and fasteners such as bolts pass through the through hole 2114 and extend into the hollow fixing column 2123, so that the upper shell 2111 and the lower shell 2112 are fixedly connected through the four joints 212. The first limit baffle 2121 and the second limit baffle 2122 are arranged at an angle, and preferably, the first limit baffle 2121 and the second limit baffle 2122 are integrally formed. In the first direction, the distance between two adjacent first limit baffles 2121 is greater than the distance between the two ends of the pressing portion 271 exposed outside the installation space 2113, and is smaller than the distance between the two ends of the pressing portion 271 accommodated inside the installation space 2113, thereby providing a movable space for the pressing portion 271 when the movable connection of the connecting body 21 is provided, and preventing the pressing portion 271 from falling off from the connecting body 21. In the second direction, the distance between two adjacent second limit baffles 2122 is greater than the distance between the two ends of the first clamping member 221 or the second clamping member 222 exposed on the outside of the installation space 2113, but less than the distance between the two ends of the first clamping member 221 or the second clamping member 222 accommodated in the inside of the installation space 2113, thereby providing a movable space for the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 to be flexibly connected to the connecting body 21 while preventing the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 from falling off from the connecting body 21.
[0086] The first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 are arranged in a U shape, and each includes a first portion 223 located above the connection body 21 and used for clamping and connecting with the rail 100, a second portion 224 movably connected with the connection body 21, and a third portion 225 connecting the first portion 223 and the second portion 224. There is a height difference between the first portion 223 and the second portion 224, and the height difference is not less than the thickness of the connection body 21, so that the connection body 21 can be at least partially accommodated in the U-shaped groove formed by the first portion 223 and the second portion 224, thereby facilitating the movable connection between the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 and the connection body 21.
[0087] The first portion 223 is located above the connection body 21, and its orthographic projection in the thickness direction of the track adapter 200 is located on the connection body 21. The first portion 223 includes a first abutting surface 2231 disposed close to the connection body 21 and a second abutting surface 2232 disposed away from the connection body 21. The power supply spring 23 is located between the first abutting surface 2231 and the second abutting surface 2232, and is at least partially exposed on the first abutting surface 2231 and / or the second abutting surface 2232, and is used to be electrically connected to the power supply conductive member 13 on the track 100.
[0088] The first portion 223 may be integrally formed with the power supply spring 23 , or may include an upper cover 2233 and a lower slot 2234 assembled with the upper cover 2233 along the height direction, and the power supply spring 23 is sandwiched between the upper cover 2233 and the lower slot 2234 .
[0089] Optionally, the first part 223 includes an upper cover 2233 and a lower tank body 2234 assembled with the upper cover 2233 in the height direction. A hook is provided on the peripheral wall of the upper cover 2233, and a bayonet is correspondingly provided on the inner peripheral wall of the lower tank body 2234. The hook extends into the bayonet so that the upper cover 2233 and the lower tank body 2234 are snap-connected. The side of the upper cover 2233 facing away from the lower tank body 2234 is the second abutting surface 2232, and the side of the lower tank body 2234 facing away from the upper cover 2233 is the first abutting surface 2231. There is a gap between the first abutting surface 2231 and the second abutting surface 2232, and the power supply spring 23 is at least partially accommodated in the gap.
[0090] In this embodiment, the power supply spring piece 23 includes a fixing portion 231 and abutting portion 232 connected in sequence, the fixing portion 231 is plate-shaped and accommodated in the gap, the abutting portion 232 protrudes in a direction close to the first abutting surface 2231 or the second abutting surface 2232, forming an inverted V-shaped structure, and a connecting port 2235 is provided at a position corresponding to the abutting portion 232 on the first abutting surface 2231 and the second abutting surface 2232. The abutting portion 232 passes through the connecting port 2235 and is exposed to the first abutting surface 2231 and / or the second abutting surface 2232, and contacts and cooperates with the power supply conductive member 13 of the track 100, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the track 100 and the track adapter 200.
[0091] The power supply spring clip 23 may have a certain elasticity. When the power supply spring clip 23 passes through the connection port 2235 and contacts and cooperates with the power supply conductive member 13, the power supply conductive member 13 applies a certain force to the power supply spring clip 23. The restoring force of the power supply spring clip 23 enables the power supply spring clip 23 to better contact and cooperate with the power supply conductive member 13, thereby achieving a reliable electrical connection. The gap also provides a deformation space for the elastic deformation of the power supply spring clip 23. The inverted V-shaped abutment portion 232 also facilitates the reliable deformation of the power supply spring clip 23 when it is installed under stress. In other embodiments, the power supply spring clip 23 may also have other structures, which are not limited by the present invention.
[0092] Optionally, the track adapter 200 further includes a signal spring 24 disposed on the first clamping member 221 and / or the second clamping member 222. The signal spring 24 passes through the connection port 2235 on the first abutting surface 2231 and the second abutting surface 2232, and contacts and cooperates with the signal conductive member 14 on the track 100. When the signal spring 24 contacts and cooperates with the signal conductive member 14, the signal conductive member 14 exerts a certain force on the signal spring 24. The restoring force of the signal spring 24 enables the signal spring 24 to better contact and cooperate with the signal conductive member 14, thereby realizing reliable signal connection, so as to receive the control signal of the electrical system 400, thereby realizing intelligent control of the electrical system 400. The signal spring 24 is also disposed on the first part 223, and can be integrally formed with the first part 223, or can be sandwiched between the upper cover 2233 and the lower slot 2234. In this embodiment, the signal spring 24 and the power supply spring 23 have the same structure, which will not be described in detail. In other embodiments, the signal spring 24 and the power supply spring 23 may have different structures, which is not limited by the present invention.
[0093] In an optional embodiment, the track adapter 200 includes two power supply springs 23 and two signal springs 24, and the arrangement of the two power supply springs 23 and the two signal springs 24 corresponds to the arrangement of the two power supply conductive members 13 and the two signal conductive members 14 of the track 100. For example, when the two power supply conductive members 13 and the two signal conductive members 14 are staggered along the central axis of the main body 11 of the track 100, that is, the two power supply conductive members 13 are respectively arranged on the upper surface 125 of the first guide groove 121 and the lower surface 126 of the second guide groove 122, and the two signal conductive members 14 are respectively arranged in the first guide groove 1 When the track adapter 200 is connected to the track 100, the two power supply springs 23 and the two signal springs 24 are also arranged in an interlaced manner along the central axis of the connection body 21 of the track adapter 200, that is, the two power supply springs 23 are respectively exposed to the second abutting surface 2232 of the first clamping member 221 and the first abutting surface 2231 of the second clamping member 222, and the two signal springs 24 are respectively exposed to the first abutting surface 2231 of the first clamping member 221 and the second abutting surface 2232 of the second clamping member 222. When the track adapter 200 is connected to the track 100, an electrical circuit and a control circuit are formed at the same time. As a variation, the power supply springs 23 and the signal springs 24 can also be arranged in an interlaced manner along the central axis of the connection body 21 in other ways, or the signal springs 24 and the power supply springs 23 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the connection body 21, or the signal springs 24 and the power supply springs 23 are symmetrically arranged along the direction perpendicular to the central axis. In other words, the power supply spring piece 23 and the signal spring piece 24 follow the installation positions of the power supply conductive part 13 and the signal conductive part 14, and the first abutting surfaces 2231 and the second abutting surfaces 2232 of the first clamping part 221 and the second clamping part 222 are interchanged left and right or up and down, as long as the track 100 can form an electrical circuit and a control circuit when connected to the track adapter 200.
[0094] In this embodiment, the power supply spring 23 and the signal spring 24 are both elastic copper sheets. Under the action of the restoring force of the power supply spring 23, the power supply spring 23 is in closer contact with the power supply conductive member 13, thereby achieving reliable electrical connection. Under the action of the restoring force of the signal spring 24, the signal spring 24 is in closer contact with the signal conductive member 14, thereby achieving reliable signal connection. When the track adapter 200 slides on the track 100, the power supply spring 23 and the signal spring 24 exposed to the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 on the track adapter 200 are always in contact with the power supply conductive member 13 and the signal conductive member 14 exposed to the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 on the track 100, which will not affect the power supply and signal transmission between the track adapter 200 and the track 100. In other embodiments, the power supply spring 23 and the signal spring 24 can also be made of other elastic metal materials, and the scope of the present invention is not limited in this respect.
[0095] Furthermore, in order to prevent the track adapter 200 from falling off the track 100 and improve the stability of the connection between the track adapter 200 and the track 100, the track adapter 200 further includes a locking assembly 26 and an unlocking assembly 27, and the locking assembly 26 and the unlocking assembly 27 are at least partially accommodated in the installation space 2113 to improve the aesthetics of the track adapter 200. The locking assembly 26 is configured to lock and connect the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 with the connecting body 21, thereby fixing the track 100 in the receiving space 25, so that the track adapter 200 and the track 100 maintain a locked state, that is, a relatively static state. The unlocking assembly 27 is configured to release the locking connection between the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 and the connecting body 21, so that the track adapter 200 and the track 100 are released, that is, a state in which they can slide relatively.
[0096] The locking assembly 26 includes a locking portion 261 located on the first clamp 221 and the second clamp 222 respectively and a buckling portion 2722 located on the unlocking assembly 27 . The locking portion 261 is matched with the buckling portion 2722 to lock the track adapter 200 on the track 100 .
[0097] Optionally, the locking portion 261 is disposed at the connection end 2241 of the second portion 224 close to the connection body 21, and includes a first wall 2611 and a second wall 2612 that are arranged at an angle, wherein the first wall 2611 is horizontally extended from the end of the first portion 223 toward the direction close to the connection body 21, and the second wall 2612 is formed by folding 90° downward from the end of the first wall 2611. A locking groove for the locking buckle part 2722 is formed between the first wall 2611 and the second wall 2612. An inclined guide surface is provided on one side of the second wall 2612 close to the connection body 21 to guide the locking connection between the locking portion 261 and the buckle part 2722. In other embodiments, the locking portion 261 may also be other structures, which are not limited by the present invention.
[0098] The lock assembly 26 further includes two first elastic members 262, which are symmetrically arranged along the second direction, and the elastic force direction of the two first elastic members 262 is parallel to the first direction. One end of one of the first elastic members 262 is elastically connected to the first clamping member 221, and the other end is elastically connected to the connecting body 21, and one end of the other first elastic member 262 is elastically connected to the second clamping member 222, and the other end is elastically connected to the connecting body 21.
[0099] Optionally, a protrusion 2242 is provided at one end of the first clamping member 221 / the second clamping member 222 close to the first elastic member 262, that is, the protrusion 2242 is arranged at the connecting end 2241 of the second part 224, and a limiting groove 213 for limiting the first elastic member 262 is provided in the connecting body 21, one end of the first elastic member 262 is connected to the protrusion 2242, and the other end abuts against the limiting groove 213.
[0100] A first retaining wall 2243 extending along the second direction is further provided on the connecting end 2241 . The first retaining wall 2243 is received in the installation space 2113 and is close to the center of the installation space 2113 relative to the second limiting baffle 2122 to prevent the first clamping member 221 or the second clamping member 222 from falling off from the connecting body 21 .
[0101] The unlocking assembly 27 is disposed between the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222, and is movably connected to the connecting body 21, and includes a pressing portion 271 and a movable plate 272 extending from the bottom of the pressing portion 271 in a direction away from the pressing portion 271. The pressing portion 271 and the movable plate 272 can be integrally or separately disposed, and are connected by assembly, which is not limited by the present invention.
[0102] The pressing portion 271 is at least partially accommodated in the installation space 2113, and a second retaining wall 2711 extending along the first direction is provided at one end of the pressing portion 271 close to the installation space 2113. The second retaining wall 2711 is accommodated in the installation space 2113 and is close to the center of the installation space 2113 relative to the first limiting baffle 2121 to prevent the pressing portion 271 from falling off the connecting body 21.
[0103] The movable plate 272 is accommodated in the installation space 2113 and can slide relative to the lower shell 2112 along the second direction. A guide portion 214 is provided at the position corresponding to the two ends of the movable plate 272 in the connecting body 21. The guide portion 214 extends from the lower shell 2112 to the direction close to the upper shell 2111, and is configured to guide the movement direction of the movable plate 272 in the connecting body 21. That is, the existence of the guide portion 214 allows the movable plate 272 to slide relative to the lower shell 2112 along the second direction. The two guide portions 214 and the baffle 215 located between the guide portions 214 form a receiving groove 216 for accommodating and limiting the movable plate 272. The movable plate 272 includes a yielding portion 2721 and a buckling portion 2722 arranged in sequence from close to the pressing portion 271 to away from the pressing portion 271. The buckle portion 2722 is formed by extending the movable plate 272 in the direction away from the lower shell 2112, and is used to cooperate with the lock portion 261 to achieve the lock connection between the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 and the connecting body 21. When the two movable plates 272 move toward each other, the two buckle portions 2722 move toward each other, thereby sliding out of the lock groove. At this time, due to the existence of the yielding portion 2721, the lock portion 261 and the buckle portion 2722 are released from the lock connection, thereby releasing the lock connection between the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 and the connecting body 21.
[0104] The unlocking assembly 27 further includes a second elastic member 273, two of which are symmetrically arranged along the first direction, and the elastic force direction of the two second elastic members 273 is parallel to the second direction. One end of each second elastic member 273 is elastically connected to the movable plate 272, and the other end is elastically connected to the connecting body 21. A reinforcing plate 2723 extending parallel to the buckling portion 2722 is also provided on the movable plate 272, and a first sleeve portion 2724 is provided at one end of the reinforcing plate 2723 close to the second elastic member 273. A baffle 215 is provided on the connecting body 21, and a second sleeve portion 2151 is provided on one side of the baffle 215 close to the second elastic member 273, and one end of the second elastic member 273 is sleeved on the first sleeve portion 2724, and the other end is sleeved on the second sleeve portion 2151.
[0105] Furthermore, in the moving direction of the movable plate 272, i.e., along the second direction, the distance between the first sleeve portion 2724 and the second sleeve portion 2151 is greater than the length of the buckle portion 2722. This arrangement allows the buckle portion 2722 to have sufficient moving space, thereby facilitating the release of the buckle connection between the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 and the connecting body 21.
[0106] See also Figure 20-26As shown, an electrical system 400 of a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. The electrical system 400 includes a track 100, a track adapter 200 and an electrical device 300, and the electrical device 300 is coupled to the track 100 through the track adapter 200. In this embodiment, the electrical device 300 is a lighting fixture, and the lighting fixture is used to provide focused lighting for a local area. At the same time, since a lighting assembly 17 is also provided in the track 100, the electrical system 400 can provide supplementary lighting for the part of the track 100 where the lighting fixture is not installed without affecting the use of the track 100, thereby improving the lighting environment and lighting effect, effectively utilizing the space of the track 100, and meeting the needs of partitioned lighting. That is, the electrical system 400 of the present invention has the functions of main lighting and auxiliary lighting at the same time, and the auxiliary lighting makes the whole lamp transparent, bright and textured. Optionally, the lighting assembly 17 can use an RGB color light source to play a role in setting off the atmosphere. In other embodiments, the lighting fixture and the lighting assembly 17 are controlled separately. For example, the lighting fixture is no longer installed in a lighting environment without special requirements, so as to meet the different usage requirements of users and improve the user experience.
[0107] In this embodiment, the electrical system 400 further includes a driving power supply, which can be disposed in the installation base to provide appropriate power to the track 100 and the electrical system 400 having the track 100, while not affecting the aesthetics of the electrical system 400. In other embodiments, the driving power supply can also be assembled on the track or placed outside the track, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0108] In this embodiment, the electrical device 300 is only used for illustrative purposes and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art understand that the electrical device 300 can be of various types suitable for installation on the track 100, for example, the electrical device 300 can be an electrical device such as a lighting fixture, a monitoring device, an intelligent control device, or a sensor module, or can be a power supply device such as a driving power supply, etc., and the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0109] In an optional embodiment, the electrical device 300 is a driving power supply, which can also be directly coupled to the track 200, and other electrical devices 300 can be coupled to the driving power supply, such as lighting fixtures, monitoring equipment, intelligent control devices or sensor modules. In this case, the driving power supply is integrated with the track adapter 200, that is, the driving power supply is provided in the track adapter 200 to receive the power of the mains and convert it into the power required by other electrical devices 300. Alternatively, other electrical devices 300 such as lighting fixtures, monitoring equipment, intelligent control devices or sensor modules can also be provided with driving devices to realize power conversion, and the present invention is not limited to this.
[0110] Please continue reading Figure 20-26 Combined with Fig.14 and Fig.18 As shown, a connection hole 2115 may also be provided on the lower shell 2112 of the track adapter 200. Accordingly, the track adapter 200 further includes a hollow connection rod 28 passing through the connection hole 2115. The hollow connection rod 28 is suitable for coupling the electrical device 300. For example, a wire may be provided in the hollow connection rod 28 to electrically connect the track adapter 200 and the electrical device 300. In this way, the electrical device 300 can be easily coupled to the track adapter 200 to achieve mechanical and electrical connection between the electrical device 300 and the track adapter 200. In other embodiments, the electrical device 300 may be directly connected to the track adapter 200 without additional components between the electrical device 300 and the track adapter 200. Alternatively, the electrical system 400 may further include more connection components between the electrical device 300 and the track adapter 200, and the scope of the present invention is not limited in this respect.
[0111] See also Figure 20-26 As shown, when the track adapter 200 coupled with the electrical device 300 needs to be connected to the track 100, the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 of the track adapter 200 extend into the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 of the track 100, so as to achieve the mechanical connection between the track adapter 200 and the track 100, and at the same time, the power supply spring piece 23 and the signal conductive piece 14 on the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 are elastically abutted against the power supply conductive piece 13 and the signal spring piece 24 in the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122, respectively, so as to achieve the electrical connection between the track adapter 200 and the track 100. The electrical system 400 is convenient and quick to install, and because the track adapter 200 and the track 100 partially overlap in the thickness direction (that is, the height direction) of the track 100 when the track adapter 200 and the track 100 are connected, the thickness of the electrical system 400 can be effectively reduced, and the occupied space of the electrical system 400 can be reduced.
[0112] When the track adapter 200 slides to a position where lighting is required, an external force is applied to the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 of the track adapter 200, so that the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 move toward each other, and the locking portions 261 on the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 lock and cooperate with the buckling portions 2722 on the movable plate 272, and the buckling portions 2722 are fixed in the locking grooves, so that the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 are locked and connected to the connecting body 21, thereby fixing the track 100 in the receiving space 25 of the track adapter 200, and realizing the locking connection between the track 100 and the track adapter 200, so as to prevent the track adapter 200 and the track 100 from falling off when the electrical equipment 300 rotates, causing a safety hazard, and improving the safety of the electrical system 400. When it is necessary to change the position of the lighting or release the connection between the track adapter 200 and the track 100, an external force is applied to the pressing portion 271 of the unlocking component 27, so that the two pressing portions 271 move toward each other, and the buckle portion 2722 slides out of the buckle groove. Due to the existence of the yielding portion 2721, the buckle connection between the buckle portion 261 and the buckle portion 2722 is released, and the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 slide away from each other under the elastic force of the first elastic member 262 and return to the initial state. At this time, the external force is removed, and the pressing portion 271 returns to the initial state under the elastic force of the second elastic member 273. In this way, the buckle connection between the first clamping member 221 and the second clamping member 222 and the connecting body 21 can be released, so that the track 100 can move in the receiving space 25 of the track adapter 200, that is, the buckle connection between the track 100 and the track adapter 200 is released, and the track adapter 200 can slide relative to the track 100.
[0113] See also Fig. 27 FIG. 4 is an electrical system 400 of another preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a lighting module is integrated in the track adapter 200, thereby avoiding coupling lighting fixtures to the track adapter 200 and reducing the occupied space of the electrical system 400. The lighting module can be a grille light or a linear light, etc., and the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0114] In summary, the track 100, track adapter 200 and electrical system 400 of the present invention have simple structures, and the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 for coupling the electrical device 300 are formed by inwardly recessing the left side wall 113 and the right side wall 114 of the track 100, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the track 100 and the electrical device 300. At the same time, a lighting assembly is arranged in the track 100, and the lighting assembly 17 is arranged in the receiving groove 161 and is located between the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122, so that the track 100 can be provided with auxiliary lighting without affecting its use, effectively utilizing the space of the track 100, meeting the needs of partitioned lighting, creating multi-level light, and improving the user experience.
[0115] 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.
