Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flexible linear lighting technology, specifically to an easily bendable, waterproof guide rail linear light. Background Technology

[0002] In the LED lighting industry, existing embedded LED linear lights typically use rigid plastic or metal as guide rails. These rails are installed in pre-embedded grooves in the ceiling, and the light strips are mounted in mounting grooves on the rails. These rails are generally linear or custom-made to a specific irregular shape (e.g., an arc). However, known rail solutions have the following problems: 1. To facilitate power access, the conductive plates on the track must be exposed, which cannot prevent water and moisture intrusion and limits its use to indoor applications. Second, the structure of linear guide rails cannot be bent and cannot well meet the usage requirements; Third, if a custom-designed guide rail with a non-standard structure is used, it can only meet the usage requirements of one type of structure and cannot be adapted to the installation and use of different non-standard embedded grooves. The purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible and waterproof guide rail and linear light. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easily bendable, waterproof linear light rail to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a flexible waterproof guide rail linear light, comprising: a flexible linear light and a flexible guide rail housing. The flexible linear light is attached to the inner side of the flexible guide rail housing; the flexible guide rail housing is provided with bending notches at intervals along the length direction, and longitudinal protruding ribs are provided on both sides of its inner wall; and cover plates are installed at both ends of the flexible guide rail housing. A silicone strip is snapped into the bottom of the inner cavity of the flexible guide rail housing; At least two conductive strips are inserted into the inside of the silicone strip; The silicone strip is a flexible strip with two parallel slots along its length on its inner side. Two conductive strips (with multi-strand copper wire or copper strip as the inner conductor and covered with flexible materials such as silicone rubber or PVC) are inserted into the slots of the silicone strip respectively.

[0005] A guide component is installed inside the silicone strip and corresponds to the position of the conductive strip; A power-collecting needle is fixedly installed on the lower side of the flexible linear light; the power-collecting needle passes through the guide and pierces the silicone strip before making close contact with the conductive strip; The guide component includes a guide ring and a capsule. The guide ring is installed on the inner side of the upper half of the silicone strip, and the capsule is fixedly installed on the upper edge of the guide ring. The capsule is encapsulated with a light-curable resin liquid.

[0006] A guide element is pre-embedded at the predetermined power extraction position in the upper half of the silicone strip. The guide element consists of a rigid insulating guide ring and a capsule fixed to its upper edge. The lower opening of the guide ring is aligned with the center of the inner conductor of the conductive strip.

[0007] The silicone strip, after being assembled with conductive strips and guide components, is pushed into the bottom of the inner cavity of the flexible guide rail housing from one end, and is fixed by engaging with the longitudinal grooves on the inner wall of the flexible guide rail housing using the protruding ridges on both sides of the silicone strip.

[0008] Furthermore, the power-collecting needle includes a power-collecting needle body and a claw. Two sets of power-collecting needle bodies are fixedly installed on the lower side of the flexible linear light. Evenly distributed claws are fixedly installed on the outer side of the power-collecting needle body. The power-collecting needle body and the claws can pass through the guide to pierce the upper half of the silicone strip and then contact the conductive strip.

[0009] Two sets of power-collecting pins are fixed to the lower side of the flexible linear light. Each set of power-collecting pins includes a power-collecting pin body and multiple evenly distributed claws on its outer side. The flexible linear light is pushed in along the longitudinal raised ribs on both sides of the inner wall of the outer shell, so that the power-collecting pins are aligned with the guide on the silicone strip.

[0010] The tip of the electroacupuncture needle first enters the upper (larger at the top, smaller at the bottom) conical opening of the guide ring. The conical surface guides it to automatically center, ensuring that the needle tip is perpendicular to the center line of the conductive strip. Further pressure is applied, and the rear end of the electroacupuncture needle breaks the capsule, allowing the light-cured resin to flow out and fill the gap between the electroacupuncture needle and the guide ring. Simultaneously, guided by the conical surface, the tip and claws of the electroacupuncture needle pass through the guide ring and pierce the upper half of the silicone strip, as well as the outer layer of the conductive strip, finally making contact with the inner conductor.

[0011] The claws on the outer side of the electro-acquisition needle are radially compressed as they pass through the guide ring. After passing through the guide ring, they elastically open to form a barb shape, preventing the conductive strips of the electro-acquisition needle from separating and pressing the inner conductor from multiple directions to form a parallel conductive path. At the same time, the outflowing light-curing resin cures within seconds under ambient ultraviolet light, forming a rigid seal. The tip of the electro-acquisition needle and its outer claws are elastically wrapped with soft silicone, forming a flexible seal and providing double waterproofing.

[0012] When the power-taking needle is fully inserted, the claws open and press against the lower opening of the guide ring, producing a "click" sensation. The grooves on both sides of the flexible linear light engage with the raised ribs on the flexible guide rail housing, and the flexible linear light is then fixed in place.

[0013] Furthermore, the flexible guide rail housing includes a guide rail housing, which is integrally formed from a continuous long strip profile along its length.

[0014] When the flexible guide rail housing is used, it is integrally formed from a continuous long strip profile along its length, with elongated bending notches machined at intervals along the length. The required mounting surface of the guide rail housing is manually bent to induce plastic deformation, locking the bending angle. Due to the equidistant distribution of the notches, a smooth arc or polygonal shape can be achieved.

[0015] Furthermore, the flexible guide rail housing includes a hinged guide rail housing, which includes a guide rail housing segment one, a hinge assembly one, and a hinge assembly two. Multiple sets of guide rail housing segments one are provided, and hinge assemblies one and two are interleaved between adjacent guide rail housing segments one.

[0016] Furthermore, the hinge assembly includes a first docking block, a first screw, and a second docking block. Two sets of second docking blocks and first docking blocks are respectively installed on adjacent guide rail housing segments. The second docking blocks and first docking blocks are rotatably connected to each other and are locked by rotating around the first screw as the center.

[0017] Furthermore, the second hinge assembly includes a second screw, a third mating block, and a fourth mating block. The third and fourth mating blocks are distributed and installed on adjacent sections of the guide rail housing. The third and fourth mating blocks are rotatably connected and are locked by rotating around the second screw as the center.

[0018] When the flexible guide rail housing is a hinged type, adjust the relative angle of each pair of adjacent guide rail housing segments one according to the required bending angle. Loosen screws one and two corresponding to hinge assembly one and hinge assembly two, rotate to the target angle (e.g., 30°, 60°, etc.), and then tighten screws one and two to lock the angle using the friction of the threads. Simultaneously, long strip-shaped bending notches are also machined at intervals on guide rail housing segment one. After all sections are adjusted and locked, the entire articulated guide rail housing forms the desired polygonal shape. Simultaneously, one section of the guide rail housing is manually bent to the desired mounting surface shape, causing plastic deformation and locking the bending angle. If you need to adjust the bending angle, loosen screws one and two of the corresponding hinge components one and two, then rotate and tighten them again.

[0019] Furthermore, the flexible guide rail housing includes a snap-fit ​​guide rail housing, which includes a female head, a male head, a second guide rail housing segment, and a snap-fit ​​assembly. The second guide rail housing segment is provided with multiple sets, and a female head and a male head are respectively installed on adjacent second guide rail housing segments. The snap-fit ​​assembly is installed on the inner side of the male head.

[0020] Furthermore, the male connector is inserted into the female connector, and the female connector has a corresponding insertion slot.

[0021] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​assembly includes an operating lever, a spring, ball bearings, and a limiting lever. Two sets of limiting levers are slidably connected to the inner side of the male connector. An operating lever is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting lever away from the female connector. The snap-fit ​​assembly has a groove corresponding to the operating lever. A spring is sleeved on the outer side of the limiting lever and between the operating lever and the inner wall of the groove. Multiple sets of ball bearings are slidably connected to the inner side of the male connector. A contraction section corresponding to the ball bearings is provided on the limiting lever.

[0022] Furthermore, the guide ring is conical in shape, and the inner diameter of the guide ring gradually increases from the conductive strip towards the flexible linear light. The inner wall of the female head has a groove corresponding to the ball. The upper half of the silicone strip is made of soft silicone, and the lower half is made of highly elastic silicone.

[0023] When the flexible guide rail housing is a snap-fit ​​type, quick-connect assembly is performed: Align the male connector with the female connector's insertion slot and push it in. Push the operating lever to compress the spring of the limiting lever; during insertion, the ball bearings are pressed inward by the inner wall of the female connector. When the male connector is fully inserted, the ball bearings align with the groove on the inner wall of the female connector. Release the operating lever, the spring pushes the limiting lever back to its original position, and the ball bearings fall into the groove and lock, completing the connection between the two guide rail housing segments. Repeat the above operation to connect all guide rail housing segments to the required length to form a complete guide rail.

[0024] Each guide rail housing section 2 is also machined with long strip-shaped bending notches at intervals, which can be bent by hand to make plastic deformation according to the shape of the mounting surface and lock the bending angle. Disassembly and Reassembly: If you need to change the length or reassemble, push the operating lever. The retracted section of the limiting lever moves under the ball, and the ball rolls inward to disengage from the groove, allowing the male head to be pulled out of the female head for flexible reassembly.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an easily bendable waterproof guide rail linear light, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention guides the power-collecting needle to automatically center via the conical surface of the guide ring, ensuring the needle tip points perpendicularly to the center line of the conductive strip, thus preventing misalignment or interlayer short circuits. The claws elastically open after passing through the guide ring, forming a barbed self-locking mechanism to prevent accidental dislodgement of the power-collecting needle. Simultaneously, the inner conductor is compressed from multiple directions. The photocurable resin in the capsule rapidly cures under ultraviolet light to form a rigid seal, which, combined with the elastic wrapping of soft silicone, forms a flexible seal. This double waterproofing ensures the puncture site achieves an IP67 or higher rating. This significantly improves the electrical connection stability, shock resistance, and long-term reliability of the rail light system in humid environments.

[0026] 2. This invention provides three optional flexible guide rail structures: an integrated continuous bending shell, a hinged angle-locking shell, and a snap-fit ​​quick-assembly shell. The integrated shell achieves smooth arcs or polygonal shapes through equidistant notches, suitable for large-radius curved surfaces. The hinged shell allows for precise locking of any angle, such as 30° or 60°, by loosening or tightening screws, suitable for applications requiring strict angle control, such as inside and outside corners. The snap-fit ​​shell uses ball bearings and grooves for quick locking; pushing the operating lever unlocks and removes the shell, while each segment can still be bent independently, enabling modular rapid assembly and length adjustment. These three structures can be used independently or flexibly combined, covering multi-level needs from fixed installation to frequent reassembly, significantly improving the flexibility of construction on irregular surfaces and on-site installation efficiency.

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-8 A flexible, waterproof linear light rail includes: a flexible linear light 3 and a flexible guide rail housing. The flexible linear light 3 is snapped into the inner side of the flexible guide rail housing; the flexible guide rail housing is provided with bending notches at intervals along the length direction, and longitudinal protruding ribs are provided on both sides of its inner wall; and cover plates 2 are installed at both ends of the flexible guide rail housing. Silicone strip 4 is snapped into the bottom of the inner cavity of the flexible guide rail housing; At least two conductive strips 5 are inserted into the inside of the silicone strip 4; The silicone strip 4 is a flexible strip with two parallel slots on its inner side along its length. Two conductive strips 5 (with multi-strand copper wire or copper strip as the inner conductor and covered with flexible materials such as silicone rubber or PVC) are inserted into the slots of the silicone strip 4 respectively.

[0031] Guide component 6 is installed inside silicone strip 4 and corresponds to the position of conductive strip 5; The power-taking needle 7 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the flexible linear light 3; after passing through the guide 6 and piercing the silicone strip 4, the power-taking needle 7 makes close contact with the conductive strip 5. The guide component 6 includes a guide ring 61 and a capsule 62. The guide ring 61 is installed on the inner side of the upper half of the silicone strip 4, and the capsule 62 is fixedly installed on the upper edge of the guide ring 61. The capsule 62 is encapsulated with a light-curing resin liquid.

[0032] A guide member 6 is pre-embedded at a predetermined power-taking position on the upper half of the silicone strip 4. The guide member 6 consists of a rigid insulating guide ring 61 and a capsule 62 fixed to its upper edge. The lower opening of the guide ring 61 is directly opposite the center of the inner conductor of the conductive strip 5.

[0033] The silicone strip 4, after assembling the conductive strip 5 and the guide 6, is pushed into the bottom of the inner cavity of the flexible guide rail housing from one end, and is fixed by the convex edges on both sides of the silicone strip 4 engaging with the longitudinal grooves on the inner wall of the flexible guide rail housing.

[0034] Furthermore, the power-collecting needle 7 includes a power-collecting needle body 71 and a claw 72. Two sets of power-collecting needle bodies 71 are fixedly installed on the lower side of the flexible linear light 3. The claws 72 are evenly distributed and fixedly installed on the outer side of the power-collecting needle body 71. The power-collecting needle body 71 and the claws 72 can pass through the guide 6, pierce the upper half of the silicone strip 4, and then come into contact with the conductive strip 5.

[0035] Two sets of power-collecting needles 7 are fixed on the lower side of the flexible linear light 3. Each set of power-collecting needles 7 includes a power-collecting needle body 71 and multiple evenly distributed claws 72 on its outer side. The flexible linear light 3 is pushed in along the longitudinal protruding ribs on both sides of the inner wall of the outer shell, so that the power-collecting needles 7 are aligned with the guide 6 on the silicone strip 4.

[0036] The tip of the electroacupuncture needle body 71 first enters the upper-larger-lower-smaller conical opening of the guide ring 61. The conical surface guides it to automatically center, ensuring that the needle tip is perpendicular to the center line of the conductive strip 5. Continuing to press down, the rear end of the electroacupuncture needle body 71 breaks the capsule 62, and the light-cured resin flows out and fills the gap between the electroacupuncture needle body 71 and the guide ring 61. Simultaneously, guided by the conical surface, the tip of the electroacupuncture needle body 71 and the claw 72 pass through the guide ring 61 and pierce the upper half of the silicone strip 4, while also piercing the outer layer of the conductive strip 5, finally contacting the inner conductor.

[0037] The claws 72 on the outer side of the electro-acquiring needle body 71 are radially compressed as they pass through the guide ring 61. After passing through the guide ring 61, they elastically open to form a barb shape, preventing the conductive strip 5 of the electro-acquiring needle body 71 from separating and pressing the inner core conductor from multiple directions to form a parallel conductive path. At the same time, the outflowing light-curing resin cures within seconds under ambient ultraviolet light, forming a rigid seal. The tip of the electro-acquiring needle body 71 and its outer claws 72 are elastically wrapped with soft silicone to form a flexible seal, providing double waterproofing.

[0038] When the power-taking needle 7 is fully inserted, the claw 72 opens and presses against the lower opening of the guide ring 61, producing a "click" sensation. The grooves on both sides of the flexible linear light 3 engage with the raised ribs of the flexible guide rail housing, and the flexible linear light 3 is then fixed in place.

[0039] Furthermore, the flexible guide rail housing includes a guide rail housing 1, which is integrally formed from a continuous long strip profile along its length.

[0040] When the flexible guide rail housing is guide rail housing 1, guide rail housing 1 is a continuous long strip profile integrally formed along its length, with long strip-shaped bending notches processed at intervals along its length. The required mounting surface of guide rail housing 1 is bent by hand to cause plastic deformation and lock the bending angle. Due to the equidistant distribution of the notches, a smooth arc or polygonal shape can be achieved.

[0041] Example 2, please refer to Figures 9-12 The difference between implementation 2 and implementation 1 is that: the flexible guide rail housing includes a hinged guide rail housing 8, the hinged guide rail housing 8 includes a guide rail housing segment 81, a hinge component 82, and a hinge component 83. The guide rail housing segment 81 is provided with multiple sets, and the hinge component 82 and the hinge component 83 are interspersed between adjacent guide rail housing segments 81.

[0042] Furthermore, the hinge assembly 82 includes a first docking block 821, a first screw 822, and a second docking block 823. Two sets of second docking blocks 823 and first docking blocks 821 are respectively installed on adjacent guide rail housing sections 81. The second docking blocks 823 and first docking blocks 821 are rotatably connected to each other and are locked by rotating around the first screw 822 as the center.

[0043] Furthermore, the hinge assembly 2 83 includes screw 2 831, mating block 3 832, and mating block 4 833. The mating blocks 3 832 and 4 833 are distributed and installed on adjacent guide rail housing section 1 81. The mating blocks 3 832 and 4 833 are rotatably connected and are locked by rotating around the screw 2 831 as the center.

[0044] When the flexible guide rail housing is a hinged guide rail housing 8, adjust the relative angle of each pair of adjacent guide rail housing segments 81 sequentially according to the required bending angle. Loosen screws 822 and 831 of the corresponding hinge components 82 and 83, rotate to the target angle (e.g., 30°, 60°, etc.), and then tighten screws 822 and 831 to lock the angle using the friction of the threads. Simultaneously, long strip-shaped bending notches are also machined at intervals on the guide rail housing segment 81. After all sections are adjusted and locked, the entire articulated guide rail housing 8 forms the desired polygonal shape. Simultaneously, section 81 of the guide rail housing can be manually bent to the desired shape of the mounting surface, causing plastic deformation and locking the bending angle. If you need to adjust the bending angle, loosen screws 822 and 831 of the corresponding hinge assembly 82 and hinge assembly 83, then rotate and tighten them again.

[0045] Example 3, please refer to Figures 13-18 The difference between implementation 3 and implementations 1 and 2 is that: the flexible guide rail housing includes a snap-fit ​​guide rail housing 9, the snap-fit ​​guide rail housing 9 includes a female head 91, a male head 92, a second guide rail housing section 93, and a snap-fit ​​assembly 94. The second guide rail housing section 93 is provided with multiple sets, and adjacent second guide rail housing sections 93 are respectively equipped with female heads 91 and male heads 92. The snap-fit ​​assembly 94 is installed on the inner side of the male head 92.

[0046] Furthermore, the male connector 92 is inserted into the female connector 91, and the female connector 91 has a corresponding insertion slot for the male connector 92.

[0047] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​assembly 94 includes an operating lever 941, a spring 942, ball bearings 943, and a limiting lever 944. Two sets of limiting levers 944 are slidably connected to the inner side of the male head 92. The operating lever 941 is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting lever 944 away from the female head 91. The snap-fit ​​assembly 94 has a groove corresponding to the operating lever 941. A spring 942 is sleeved on the outer side of the limiting lever 944 between the operating lever 941 and the inner wall of the groove. Multiple sets of ball bearings 943 are slidably connected to the inner side of the male head 92. A retraction section corresponding to the ball bearings 943 is provided on the limiting lever 944.

[0048] Furthermore, the guide ring 61 is conical in shape, and the inner diameter of the guide ring 61 gradually increases from the conductive strip 5 towards the flexible linear light 3. The inner wall of the female head 91 is provided with a groove corresponding to the ball 943. The upper half of the silicone strip 4 is made of soft silicone, and the lower half is made of high-elasticity silicone.

[0049] When the flexible guide rail housing is a snap-fit ​​type guide rail housing 9, quick plug-in assembly is performed: Align the male connector 92 with the insertion slot of the female connector 91 and push it in. Push the operating lever 941 to compress the limiting lever 944 and spring 942; during insertion, the ball bearing 943 is squeezed inward by the inner wall of the female connector and rolls inward. When the male connector 92 is fully inserted, the ball bearing 943 aligns with the groove on the inner wall of the female connector. Release the operating lever 941, the spring 942 pushes the limiting lever 944 back to its original position, and the ball bearing 943 falls into the groove and locks in place, completing the connection between the two guide rail housing segments 94. Repeat the above operation to plug all the guide rail housing segments 93 into a complete guide rail according to the required length.

[0050] Each guide rail housing section 293 also has long strip-shaped bending notches processed at intervals, which can be bent by hand to make plastic deformation according to the shape of the mounting surface and lock the bending angle. Disassembly and Reassembly: If the length needs to be changed or reassembled, push the operating lever 941. The retracted section of the limiting lever 944 moves to below the ball 943. The ball 943 rolls inward to disengage from the groove, and the male head 92 can be pulled out of the female head 91 to achieve flexible reassembly.

[0051] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows: Assembly of silicone strip 4 and conductive strip 5: Silicone strip 4 is a flexible strip with two parallel slots on its inner side along its length. Insert the two conductive strips 5 (with multi-strand copper wire or copper strip as the inner conductor and covered with flexible materials such as silicone rubber or PVC) into the slots of silicone strip 4 respectively.

[0052] Installation of guide 6: Guide 6 is pre-embedded at the predetermined power-taking position on the upper half of the silicone strip 4. Guide 6 consists of a rigid insulating guide ring 61 and a capsule 62 fixed to its upper edge. The lower opening of the guide ring 61 is directly opposite the center of the inner conductor of the conductive strip 5, and the capsule 62 is encapsulated with light-curing resin liquid.

[0053] The silicone strip 4 is snapped into the flexible guide rail housing: The silicone strip 4, which is assembled with the conductive strip 5 and the guide 6, is pushed into the bottom of the inner cavity of the flexible guide rail housing from one end, and the protrusions on both sides of the silicone strip 4 are snapped into the longitudinal grooves on the inner wall of the flexible guide rail housing.

[0054] Insertion of the flexible linear light 3: Two sets of power-collecting needles 7 are fixed on the lower side of the flexible linear light 3. Each set of power-collecting needles 7 includes a power-collecting needle body 71 and multiple evenly distributed claws 72 on its outer side. Push the flexible linear light 3 along the longitudinal protruding ribs on both sides of the inner wall of the outer shell so that the power-collecting needles 7 are aligned with the guide 6 on the silicone strip 4.

[0055] Guiding and Insertion: The tip of the electroacupuncture needle body 71 first enters the upper-larger-lower-smaller conical opening of the guide ring 61. The conical surface guides it to automatically center, ensuring that the needle tip is perpendicular to the center line of the conductive strip 5. Continuing to press down, the rear end of the electroacupuncture needle body 71 breaks the capsule 62, and the light-cured resin flows out and fills the gap between the electroacupuncture needle body 71 and the guide ring 61. Simultaneously, guided by the conical surface, the tip of the electroacupuncture needle body 71 and the claw 72 pass through the guide ring 61 and pierce the upper half of the silicone strip 4, while also piercing the outer layer of the conductive strip 5, finally contacting the inner conductor.

[0056] Multi-point contact and sealing: The claws 72 on the outside of the electroacupuncture needle body 71 are radially compressed when passing through the guide ring 61. After passing through the guide ring 61, they elastically open to form a barb shape, preventing the conductive strip 5 of the electroacupuncture needle body 71 from separating. This compresses the inner conductor from multiple directions, forming a parallel conductive path. At the same time, the outflowing light-curing resin cures within seconds under ambient ultraviolet light, forming a rigid seal. The tip of the electroacupuncture needle body 71 and its outer claws 72 are elastically wrapped with soft silicone, forming a flexible seal and providing double waterproofing.

[0057] Confirmation of placement: When the power-taking needle 7 is fully inserted, the claw 72 opens and presses against the lower opening of the guide ring 61, producing a "click" feeling. The grooves on both sides of the flexible linear light 3 and the raised ribs of the flexible guide rail housing are engaged in place, and the flexible linear light 3 is then fixed.

[0058] When the flexible guide rail housing is guide rail housing 1, guide rail housing 1 is a continuous long strip profile integrally formed along its length, with long strip-shaped bending notches processed at intervals along its length. The required mounting surface of guide rail housing 1 is bent by hand to cause plastic deformation and lock the bending angle. Due to the equidistant distribution of the notches, a smooth arc or polygonal shape can be achieved.

[0059] When the flexible guide rail housing is a hinged guide rail housing 8, adjust the relative angle of each pair of adjacent guide rail housing segments 81 sequentially according to the required bending angle. Loosen the screws 822 and 831 of the corresponding hinge components 82 and 83, rotate to the target angle such as 30° or 60°, and then tighten the screws 822 and 831 to lock the angle using the friction of the threads. Simultaneously, long strip-shaped bending notches are also machined at intervals on the guide rail housing segment 81. After all sections are adjusted and locked, the entire articulated guide rail housing 8 forms the desired polygonal shape. Simultaneously, section 81 of the guide rail housing can be manually bent to the desired shape of the mounting surface, causing plastic deformation and locking the bending angle. If you need to adjust the bending angle, loosen screws 822 and 831 of the corresponding hinge assembly 82 and hinge assembly 83, then rotate and tighten them again.

[0060] When the flexible guide rail housing is a snap-fit ​​type guide rail housing 9, quick plug-in assembly is performed: Align the male connector 92 with the insertion slot of the female connector 91 and push it in. Push the operating lever 941 to compress the limiting lever 944 and spring 942; during insertion, the ball bearing 943 is squeezed inward by the inner wall of the female connector and rolls inward. When the male connector 92 is fully inserted, the ball bearing 943 aligns with the groove on the inner wall of the female connector. Release the operating lever 941, the spring 942 pushes the limiting lever 944 back to its original position, and the ball bearing 943 falls into the groove and locks in place, completing the connection between the two guide rail housing segments 94. Repeat the above operation to plug all the guide rail housing segments 93 into a complete guide rail according to the required length.

[0061] Each guide rail housing section 293 also has long strip-shaped bending notches processed at intervals, which can be bent by hand to make plastic deformation according to the shape of the mounting surface and lock the bending angle. Disassembly and Reassembly: If the length needs to be changed or reassembled, push the operating lever 941. The retracted section of the limiting lever 944 moves to below the ball 943. The ball 943 rolls inward to disengage from the groove, and the male head 92 can be pulled out of the female head 91 to achieve flexible reassembly.

[0062] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
