Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to display systems, and more particularly to electric display systems. Background Technology

[0002] Existing display systems require electrical devices, such as LED lights or displays, each of which needs to be equipped with wires and plugs. In order to provide power to the electrical devices, sockets need to be installed, and the plugs of the electrical devices are plugged into the sockets to obtain power. This wiring is messy and disorganized, and this drawback is particularly prominent when there are multiple electrical devices or when the electrical devices are installed in different locations. To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the applicant has proposed solutions, such as CN105470756A and CN20258604U, for a suspended electrified system, comprising: a vertical plate having at least one mounting member arranged parallel to its height direction; the mounting member including a protruding strip arranged along the height direction of the vertical plate, and skirts extending outward from the ends of the protruding strips that contact the vertical plate; a plurality of positioning holes spaced apart on one side of the protruding strip; a positive conductive strip and a negative conductive strip respectively provided on the skirt; the positive conductive strip and the negative conductive strip being electrically connected to the positive and negative input terminals of a transformer respectively; a placement member having positioning pins that mate with the positioning holes; a positive conductive sheet and a negative conductive sheet, and a light strip electrically connected to them respectively; when the positioning pin is connected to the positioning hole, the positive conductive sheet and the negative conductive sheet are electrically connected to the positive and negative conductive strips respectively, and the light strip is energized to emit light. While this solution addresses the aforementioned shortcomings, it still has the following drawbacks: Firstly, the conductive module has poor integration and an unattractive appearance. After the conductive module is removed from the column, the conductive sheet remains exposed, posing a risk of accidental contact with electricity. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an integrated conductive module that integrates the conductive module into the mounting part, and enables the conductive module to be energized when the mounting part is attached and automatically de-energized when the mounting part is removed.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an integrated conductive module for use in a display system, including a connecting part and a conductive module, wherein the connecting part is used to connect the display unit in the display system to the main structure of the display system;

[0005] The conductive module is disposed on the side of the connecting portion facing the main structure; the conductive module includes a driving block, a driven block, and a conductive probe connected to the driven block; one end of the driving block is exposed outside the connecting portion to form an actuating end; when the connecting portion is connected to the main structure, the force generated by the abutting end against the main structure drives the driven block to move from a first position to a second position through the driving block; when the driven block is in the first position, the conductive probe is housed outside the conductive module; when the driven block is in the second position, the conductive probe extends outside the conductive module and is conductively connected to the conductive sheet on the main structure.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment: the driving block and the driven block are reversed to change the movement of the driving block along the height direction of the main structure to the movement of the driven block along the width direction of the main structure.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment: the driving block forms inclined surfaces with the driven block on both sides along the width direction.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a return spring is also included, wherein when the driven block moves from the first position to the second position, the driven block compresses the return spring to accumulate elastic return force.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment: the connecting part includes a back plate parallel to the main structure, the front end of the back plate is used to connect the display unit, and the rear end is provided with a support groove for installing the conductive module.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment: the support groove extends into protrusions on both sides along the width direction, and the protrusions are provided with connection holes on the side facing the conductive module;

[0011] The outer shell of the conductive module is provided with a clearance hole corresponding to the connection hole, and the connector passes through the clearance hole and is fixedly connected to the connection hole.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment: the outer casing is provided with openings on both sides along the width direction for the conductive spring pin to extend out.

[0013] The present invention also provides a display system, comprising: a display unit, a main structure, and a conductive module as described above.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment: the main structure is a column, and the column is provided with hanging ribs at intervals along the height direction, with a clearance opening formed between two adjacent hanging ribs; when the connecting part is attached to one of the hanging ribs, the braking end abuts against the hanging rib located below the hanging rib.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment: the connecting part is provided with a hook for attaching to the hanging rib.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This invention provides an integrated conductive module. When the connector is not connected to the main structure of the display system, the conductive probes of the conductive module are hidden within the module. The probes only extend when the connector is connected to the main structure. This ensures that the conductive module is only energized when the connector is installed on the main structure, and immediately de-energizes the module once the connector is removed, providing power-off protection. Furthermore, the conductive probes are only exposed when the connector is connected to the main structure, eliminating the risk of damage from accidental contact or impact during daily operation and significantly extending service life. By integrating the conductive module and connector, the overall appearance is optimized, resulting in a simpler and more refined design that balances functionality and aesthetics, making it suitable for high-end retail display environments.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0028] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0030] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," and "left," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0031] refer to Figures 1-11 This invention provides an integrated conductive module for use in a display system. This embodiment uses a shoe display system as an example, but the integrated conductive module can also be applied to other display systems. Specifically, the integrated conductive module in this embodiment includes a connecting part 1 and a conductive module 2. The connecting part 1 is used to connect the display units in the display system to the main structure of the display system. As a shoe display system, the main structure is a column 3, and the display units are individual shoe trays.

[0032] The conductive module 2 is disposed on the side of the connecting part 1 facing the main structure; the conductive module 2 includes a driving block 21, a driven block 22, and a conductive probe 23 connected to the driven block 22; one end of the driving block 21 is exposed outside the connecting part 1 to form an actuating end 211; when the connecting part 1 is connected to the main structure, the force generated by the braking end abutting against the main structure drives the driven block 22 to move from a first position to a second position through the driving block 21; when the driven block 22 is in the first position, the conductive probe 23 is housed outside the conductive module 2; when the driven block 22 is in the second position, the conductive probe 23 extends outside the conductive module 2 and is conductively connected to the conductive sheet 33 on the main structure.

[0033] Specifically, the driving block 21 and the driven block 22 are reversed in their coordination, so that the movement of the driving block 21 along the height direction of the main structure is changed to the movement of the driven block 22 along the width direction of the main structure. In this way, both driven blocks 22 can be driven to move at the same time, thereby enabling the two conductive probes 23 to extend at the same time and be electrically connected to the positive and negative conductive plates 33 on the main structure to achieve power supply.

[0034] To achieve the above-mentioned reversing engagement, the driving block 21 and the driven block 22 are respectively engaged by inclined surfaces 212 and 221 on both sides along the width direction. When the driving block 21 moves upward, the squeezing force generated by the inclined surfaces 212 and 221 between the driving block 21 and the driven block 22 will drive the driven block 22 to move outward along the horizontal direction.

[0035] The above structure can only achieve automatic extension of the conductive probe 23. It is also necessary to ensure that the conductive probe 23 can automatically retract after the connecting part 1 is disconnected from the main structure. Therefore, this embodiment also includes a return spring 24. When the driven block 22 moves from the first position to the second position, the driven block 22 compresses the return spring 24, accumulating elastic return force. Thus, once the force on the actuating end 211 disappears, the return spring 24 releases the elastic return force, allowing the driven block 22 and the driving block 21 to reset respectively.

[0036] To enable the connecting part 1 to connect the display unit and the main structure, the connecting part 1 includes a back plate 11 parallel to the main structure. The front end of the back plate 11 is used to connect the display unit, and the rear end is provided with a support groove 12 for installing the conductive module 2.

[0037] To accommodate the conductive module 2 in the support groove 12, protrusions 13 extend from both sides of the support groove 12 along its width direction. A connection hole 14 is provided on the side of the protrusion 13 facing the conductive module 2. A clearance hole 20 is provided on the outer shell 26 of the conductive module 2 corresponding to the connection hole, and a connector 25 passes through the clearance hole 20 and is fixedly connected to the connection hole 14. Furthermore, a notch is provided at the bottom of the support groove 12 corresponding to the position of the actuating end 211, allowing the actuating end 211 to be exposed outside the support groove 12 through the notch.

[0038] In addition, the outer casing 26 is provided with openings 261 on both sides along the width direction for the conductive spring pin to extend out.

[0039] In this embodiment, the main structure is a column 3. The connecting part 1 is connected to the column 3. The column 3 is provided with hanging ribs 31 at intervals along the height direction. A clearance opening 32 is formed between two adjacent hanging ribs 31. When the connecting part 1 is attached to one of the hanging ribs, the braking end is placed in the clearance opening 32 and abuts against the hanging rib 31 located below the hanging rib 31.

[0040] Furthermore, the connecting part 1 is provided with a hook 15 for attaching to the hanging rib 31.

[0041] In the aforementioned integrated conductive module 2, when the connecting part 1 is not connected to the main structure of the display system, the conductive probe 23 is hidden within the conductive module 2. The conductive probe 23 only extends when the connecting part 1 is connected to the main structure. This ensures that the conductive module 2 is only energized when the connecting part 1 is installed on the main structure; once the connecting part 1 is removed from the main structure, the conductive module 2 immediately de-energizes, providing power-off protection. Furthermore, the conductive probe 23 is only exposed when the connecting part 1 is connected to the main structure, eliminating the risk of damage due to accidental contact or collision during daily operation and significantly improving its service life. Moreover, by integrating the conductive module 2 and the connecting part 1, the appearance integration is optimized, resulting in a simpler and more refined overall design that balances functionality and aesthetics, making it suitable for high-end retail display environments.

[0042] The above is only one specific embodiment of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present invention using this concept shall be deemed as infringing the protection scope of the present invention.
