[0002] Typically, track lights are installed on a track, allowing for sliding adjustments and power supply to the lights from the track. They are widely used in lighting fixtures. However, most current tracks are fixed to the wall with bolts, resulting in a relatively simple installation method. For lighting renovations in older homes, where spaces are often narrow and variable, more compact installations and flexible wiring layouts are required. The power supply method for the track also needs to be adjusted flexibly, especially when the track installation method changes or when multiple light fixtures are installed.

The mounting rail 100 has an inner cavity and includes a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 arranged opposite to each other. A receiving groove 103 is provided on both sides of the width of the mounting rail 100 between the first surface 101 and the second surface 102. A conductive rail 104 is inserted into the receiving groove 103. Optionally, a limiting part 106 is provided on the receiving groove 103. The limiting part 106 protrudes from the upper and lower ends of the receiving groove 103 along the height direction, so that the conductive rail 104 is fixed in the receiving groove 103 by a snap-fit ​​method. The conductive rail 104 has a contact portion 105 for electrical connection. The contact portion 105 is a metal sheet and is recessed on the outer side of the conductive rail 104. The mounting rail 100 is provided with a first adapter block 110 and a second adapter block 111 for changing the arrangement angle. The first adapter block 110 causes the mounting rail 100 to change direction perpendicularly along a first direction, and the second adapter block 111 causes the mounting rail 100 to change direction perpendicularly along a second direction, which helps to increase the laying flexibility of the mounting rail 100 to adapt to narrow spaces. Optionally, the lamp 120 is provided with a contactor 121, which is provided with a hook 122 and a conductive sheet 123. The hook 122 is fastened in the receiving groove 103, and the conductive sheet 123 is elastically pressed against the contact portion 105 to realize the conduction of current. The power box 130 is hung in the mounting rail 100. The power box 130 includes a wire 124 and a contactor 121 fastened to the mounting rail 100. The wire 124 is fixed to the contactor 121 and transmits electrical energy to the contact portion 105 through the contactor 121. The wire 124 can extend along the length of the mounting rail 100 or along a rail perpendicular to the first surface 101 to meet the mounting rails of different laying methods, realize flexible and compact wiring, and save space.

[0040] Specifically, the first direction is perpendicular to the mounting track 100 along the horizontal plane, and the second direction is perpendicular to the mounting track 100 along the vertical plane, to conform to the position of the indoor wall. Optionally, a support strip 114 is provided in the inner cavity of the mounting track 100.

Optionally, the mounting track 100 includes a first suspension section 107 and a second suspension section 108 laid horizontally, with a first adapter block 110 between the first suspension section 107 and the second suspension section 108, and the first suspension section 107 and the second suspension section 108 being perpendicular to each other; optionally, a third suspension section 109 is provided at the other end of the first suspension section 107, extending along a second direction and vertically downward along the wall; a third adapter block 112 is provided on the third suspension section 109, and a fourth suspension section 115 is connected to the third suspension section 109 through the third adapter block 112, the fourth suspension section 115 being perpendicular to the third suspension section 109 along a vertical plane. Optionally, the third suspension section 109 has a T-shaped interface, allowing the fourth suspension section 115 to extend along both sides of the third suspension section 109, increasing the flexibility of the installation.

[0041] Optionally, the power supply box 130 includes a first power box 131 and a second power box 132. The wires 124 on the first power box 131 are perpendicular to the first surface 101, and the second power box 132 extends along the length of the mounting rail 100. Further, preferably, the first power box 131 is hung on the first suspension section 107 or the second suspension section 108, and the second power box 132 is hung on the third suspension section 109, to save space when supplying power on the side wall. Optionally, the installation positions of the first power box 131 and the second power box 132 on the mounting rail 100 can be flexibly adjusted according to space and wiring needs.

[0042] On the other hand, the mounting track 100 is also equipped with a power supply block, which has a traction line 135. The mounting track 100 is hoisted via the traction line 135, eliminating the need for the mounting track 100 to be fixed to the ceiling. In rooms with high ceilings, the distance between the light fixture 120 and the ground can be adjusted via the traction line 135, improving installation flexibility. Optionally, a conductor 124 is threaded through the traction line 135, and the power supply block has a conductive plate 123 to supply power to the mounting track 100, eliminating the need for additional wiring, simplifying the structure and improving the appearance.

[0043] Optionally, the power supply block includes a first power supply block 133 and a second power supply block 134. The first power supply block 133 is slidably connected to the mounting rail, and the second power supply block 134 is located at the end of the mounting rail 100. Optionally, both the first power supply block 133 and the second power supply block 134 are provided with an adapter piece 113 communicating with the wire 124. The adapter piece 113 has several contacts 117 that press against the contact portion 105 to achieve conductivity.
