Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of track socket technology, and more particularly to a socket module and a track socket. Background Technology

[0002] Track sockets are widely used in kitchens, offices, and other locations due to their high flexibility, expandability, aesthetic appeal, and safety. A track socket consists of a track module and a socket module. The socket module needs to be inserted into the track groove of the track module to draw power from it.

[0003] In existing technology, after the power-feeding pin in the socket module is inserted into the track slot of the track module, the entire socket module needs to be rotated to achieve contact between the power-feeding pin and the conductive plate in the track module to draw power. However, during the rotation of the socket module, the contact between the power-feeding pin and the conductive plate is not stable enough, posing a risk of power outage.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a socket module and a track socket to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on the above, one object of the present invention is to provide a socket module to solve one of the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A socket module, comprising: Socket housing; A plug, which connects to the socket housing; The power-collecting assembly includes a power-collecting arm, a power-collecting shaft, a driving component, a linkage component, and an elastic component. The power-collecting shaft is rotatably disposed within the socket housing and the plug. The power-collecting arm is fixedly mounted on the power-collecting shaft and movably disposed within the plug. The linkage component is fixedly mounted on the power-collecting shaft. The driving component can drive the linkage component to rotate. One end of the elastic component is connected to the linkage component, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the socket housing. The power-collecting shaft drives the power-collecting arm to rotate, so that the power-collecting arm can contact or separate from the conductive sheet of the track module.

[0007] Furthermore, the driving component includes a rotating shell, which is rotatably mounted on the socket housing and connected to the linkage component.

[0008] Furthermore, the driving component also includes a shift fork, which is connected to the rotating housing and the linkage component.

[0009] Furthermore, the socket module also includes a mounting plate, which is fixedly installed inside the socket housing. The mounting plate has a sliding groove. The power supply component also includes a sliding member, which is slidably disposed in the sliding groove and is connected to the driving member.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving component also includes a sliding sleeve, which is fixedly mounted on the rotating shell, and the sliding element is installed inside the sliding sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two slide grooves, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the power-taking shaft. The slide grooves are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the sliding members, and the sliding sleeves are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the sliding members.

[0012] Furthermore, the socket module also includes an electrical connection component, which includes a first connection component and a second connection component. The first connection component is used to electrically connect the conductive sheet of the rail module, and the second connection component is used for grounding.

[0013] Based on the above, another object of the present invention is to provide a track socket to solve one of the above problems.

[0014] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A track socket, comprising: A track module includes a track housing and a conductive component, the conductive component including a conductive sheet disposed inside the track housing, the track housing having a track groove; As described in any of the above embodiments, in the socket module, the plug is inserted into the track groove, causing the power-collecting arm to contact or separate from the conductive sheet.

[0015] Furthermore, the track socket also includes a protective module, which includes a protective frame and a protective door. The protective frame is installed inside the track housing, and the protective door is rotatably mounted on the protective frame. The protective door has a first state and a second state, and the first state and the second state of the protective door are switched by rotating the protective door. When the protective door is in the first state, it is magnetically attached to the track housing to block the track groove of the track housing; when the protective door is in the second state, it moves away from the track groove so that the plug can be inserted into the track groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the track socket also includes a wiring module, and the conductive component also includes a grounding plate. The wiring module includes a junction box and wiring terminals disposed within the junction box. The wiring terminals include a wiring base and wiring conductors. The wiring base is provided with two sets of wiring conductors with different wiring positions. The wiring conductors include a wiring frame and wiring screws. The wiring frame is installed inside the junction box and has the conductive plate or the grounding plate installed on it. The wiring screws are installed on the wiring base and can press the conductive plate or the grounding plate against the power supply line.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The track socket provided by this invention includes a track module and a socket module. The track module includes a track housing and a conductive component. The conductive component includes a conductive sheet disposed inside the track housing. The track housing has a track groove, and the socket module can be inserted into the track groove. The socket module includes a socket housing, a plug, and a power-collecting component. The plug is connected to the socket housing. The power-collecting component includes a power-collecting arm, a power-collecting shaft, a driving component, a linkage component, and an elastic component. The power-collecting shaft is rotatably disposed inside the socket housing and the plug. The power-collecting arm is fixedly installed on the power-collecting shaft and movably disposed inside the plug. The linkage component is fixedly installed on the power-collecting shaft. The driving component can drive the linkage component to rotate. One end of the elastic component is connected to the linkage component, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the socket housing. The power-collecting shaft drives the power-collecting arm to rotate, so that the power-collecting arm can contact or separate from the conductive sheet of the track module. The driving component drives the linkage component to rotate, thereby driving the power-collecting shaft to rotate, and then driving the power-collecting arm to rotate, so that the power-collecting arm contacts or separates from the conductive sheet, facilitating the socket module to draw power from the track module. The elastic element makes the linkage more stable, preventing the drive, linkage and power-taking shaft from rotating again after the power-taking arm makes contact with the conductive plate and conducts electricity. This ensures the stability of the contact and conduction between the power-taking arm and the conductive plate, and makes it less prone to incomplete connection and power failure.

[0020] 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, only the parts relevant to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not the entire structure.

[0021] 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 or a detachable connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or 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 according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise expressly 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 being 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 being 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.

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1-21 As shown, this embodiment provides a track socket, which includes a track module 2 and a socket module 3. The socket module 3 is inserted into the track module 2 and draws power from the track module 2.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the track module 2 includes a track housing 21 and a conductive component 22. The track housing 21 has a track groove 211, and the socket module 3 can be inserted into any position in the track groove 211, realizing the change of position of the socket module 3 to adapt to different occasions. The conductive component 22 includes a conductive sheet 222, which is disposed inside the track housing 21. After the socket module 3 is inserted into the track groove 211, it draws power from the conductive sheet 222 to realize the power supply of the socket module 3.

[0026] like Figures 2-7As shown, the socket module 3 includes a socket housing 32, a plug 31, and a power-collecting component 34. The plug 31 is connected to the socket housing 32 and can be inserted into any position in the track groove 211. The power-collecting component 34 includes a power-collecting arm 341, a power-collecting shaft 342, a driving member 345, a linkage member 343, and an elastic member 347. The power-collecting shaft 342 is rotatably disposed within the socket housing 32 and the plug 31. The power-collecting arm 341 is fixedly installed on the power-collecting shaft 342 and is movably disposed within the plug 31. The linkage member 343 is fixedly installed on the power-collecting shaft 342. The driving member 345 can drive the linkage member 343 to rotate. One end of the elastic member 347 is connected to the linkage member 343, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the socket housing 32. The power-collecting shaft 342 drives the power-collecting arm 341 to rotate so that the power-collecting arm 341 can contact or separate from the conductive sheet 222 of the track module 2. The driving component 345 drives the linkage component 343 to rotate, which in turn drives the power-collecting shaft 342 to rotate, and then drives the power-collecting arm 341 to rotate. This allows the power-collecting arm 341 to contact or separate from the conductive plate 222, facilitating the socket module 3 to draw power from the track module 2. The elastic component 347 makes the linkage component 343 more stable, preventing the driving component 347, linkage component 343, and power-collecting shaft 342 from rotating again after the power-collecting arm 341 makes contact with the conductive plate 222 and conducts electricity. This ensures the stability of the contact and conduction between the power-collecting arm 341 and the conductive plate 222, and reduces the likelihood of incomplete connections or power outages.

[0027] Furthermore, the socket module 3 also includes a mounting plate 33, which is fixedly installed inside the socket housing 32. The mounting plate 33 is used to install other components and provide support for them.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the socket housing 32 includes a lower socket housing 321 and an upper socket housing 322. The lower socket housing 321 and the upper socket housing 322 are fixedly connected to form an installation space. The mounting plate 33 and the power supply component 34 are both located in this installation space. The lower socket housing 321 is connected to the plug 31.

[0029] Furthermore, the other end of the elastic element 347 is connected to the inner wall of the socket lower shell 321 of the socket housing 32. Specifically, the elastic element 347 is a spring, and the linkage element 343 is more stable under the pull of the spring, so that the linkage element 343 is stable in the position after it is in place and does not rotate, thus ensuring the stability of the contact and conduction between the power-taking arm 341 and the conductive sheet 222, and making it less prone to poor connection and power failure.

[0030] Furthermore, the drive component 345 is generally cylindrical in shape. It is installed between the lower socket housing 321 and the upper socket housing 322, and is rotatable relative to the socket housing 32. The shaft 14 of the drive component 345 is its own axis. The drive component 345 can be manually rotated, thereby causing the power-taking shaft 342 to rotate.

[0031] The socket housing 322 has a socket 3221. When the power supply of the electrical device is inserted into the socket 3221, the socket module 3 can supply power to the electrical device.

[0032] Furthermore, the socket lower housing 321 includes a lower housing body 3211, which is fixedly connected to the socket upper housing 322 to form an installation space.

[0033] Furthermore, the plug 31 is provided with a receiving groove 311, which contains the power taking arm 341 and part of the power taking shaft 342. The power taking arm 341 rotates within the receiving groove 311.

[0034] Furthermore, the plug 31 has a first shaft hole 313, and one end of the power take-off shaft 342 is located in the first shaft hole 313.

[0035] Furthermore, the conductive component 22 also includes a grounding piece 223. There are two conductive rails 221, and the conductive rails 221 and the conductive pieces 222 are set one-to-one. The two conductive pieces 222 correspond to the live wire and the neutral wire of the power supply line 5, respectively. The grounding piece 223 corresponds to the ground wire of the power supply line 5. The grounding piece 223 is set on the grounding base of the wiring module 4 (which will be explained in detail later). The grounding piece 223 can be grounded through the grounding box or directly grounded.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the conductive component 22 also includes a conductive track 221, which is installed inside the track housing 21. The conductive sheet 222 is installed inside the conductive track 221, and the power taking arm 341 located inside the plug 31 can be electrically connected to the conductive sheet 222.

[0037] Specifically, the conductive track 221 extends along the extension direction of the track groove 211, and the conductive track 221 is filled with conductive sheets 222, so that the plug 31 can be electrically connected to any position of the conductive sheet 222.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, there are two power-taking arms 341, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the power-taking shaft 342. There are also two conductive plates 222. The power-taking arms 341 and the conductive plates 222 correspond one-to-one, so that the power-taking arms 341 can make contact with the live wire and the neutral wire respectively to conduct electricity.

[0039] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the linkage 343 is specifically a rotating block. One end of the rotating block is fixedly installed on the power-taking shaft 342, and the other end is fixedly connected to the driving component 345. When the driving component 345 rotates, it drives the rotating block to rotate, which in turn drives the power-taking shaft 342 to rotate.

[0040] Furthermore, the driving component 345 includes a rotating housing 3451, which is rotatably mounted on the socket housing 32 and connected to the linkage component 343. The rotation of the rotating housing 3451 drives the linkage component 343 to rotate, which in turn drives the power-taking shaft 342 to rotate.

[0041] Furthermore, the drive component 345 also includes a shift fork 3452, which is connected to the rotating housing 3451 and to the linkage component 343. The shift fork allows the rotating housing 3451 to drive the linkage component 343 to rotate.

[0042] Specifically, the shift fork 3452 has a fork groove, and the other end of the linkage 343 is engaged in the fork groove. This arrangement ensures that the linkage 343 will not interfere with the shift fork 3452 when rotating, and will not affect the shift fork 3452 from driving the linkage 343 to rotate.

[0043] Furthermore, the mounting plate 33 has a sliding groove 331, and the power supply assembly 34 also includes a sliding member 346, which is slidably disposed within the sliding groove 331 and is connected to the driving member 345. The sliding groove 331 serves to guide the sliding member 346.

[0044] Furthermore, the drive component 345 also includes a sliding sleeve 3453, which is fixedly mounted on the rotating housing 3451, and the sliding member 346 is mounted inside the sliding sleeve 3453. The sliding sleeve 3453 is configured such that the drive component 345 drives the sliding member 346 to slide within the sliding groove 331.

[0045] Furthermore, there are two slide grooves 331, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the power-taking shaft 342. The slide grooves 331 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the sliding members 346, and the sliding sleeves 3453 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the sliding members 346. This arrangement makes the driving member 345 more stable when rotating, and also makes the linkage member 343 and the power-taking shaft 342 rotate more stably.

[0046] Furthermore, a positioning groove 332 is provided on the mounting plate, and one end of the sliding groove 331 communicates with the positioning groove 332. The depth of the positioning groove 332 is greater than the depth of the sliding groove 331, allowing the sliding member 346 to be confined within the positioning groove 332. The sliding member 346 slides within the sliding groove 331 until the linkage member 343 moves to a preset position. At this point, the sliding member 346 moves from the sliding groove 331 into the positioning groove 332 for positioning. Under the combined action of the positioning groove 332 and the elastic member 347, the linkage member 343 is stably maintained at the preset position. When the linkage member 343 moves to the preset position, the power take-up arm 341 contacts the conductive sheet 222 for conduction.

[0047] Specifically, the slider 346 is a columnar body. The slider 346 can move along the height direction within the sliding sleeve 3453. The height of the columnar body is greater than the groove depth of the positioning groove 332, so that the slider 346 can smoothly enter the positioning groove 332 from the sliding groove 331, and the slider 346 will not detach from the sliding sleeve 3453 after entering the positioning groove 332.

[0048] When it is necessary to remove the socket module 3 from the track module 2 and reposition it, the rotating shell 3451 is rotated in the opposite direction. The rotating shell 3451 drives the sliding sleeve 3453 and the shift fork 3452 to rotate. The shift fork 3452 drives the linkage 343 to rotate in the opposite direction as well. The linkage 343 drives the power-taking shaft 342 and the power-taking arm 341 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby separating the power-taking arm 341 from the conductive plate 222, thus disconnecting the power from the track module 2. Then, the socket module 3 can be removed from the track groove. Pull out of 211 and reinsert it into another position in the track groove 211; under the combined action of the sliding sleeve 3453 and the elastic element 347, the sliding element 346 disengages from the positioning groove 332 and enters the sliding groove 331. Guided by the sliding groove 331, the shift fork 3452 drives the linkage 343 to rotate in the opposite direction. The linkage 343 drives the power-taking shaft 342 and the power-taking arm 341 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the power-taking arm 341 separates from the conductive sheet 222, thereby realizing the power cut-off between the socket module 3 and the track module 2.

[0049] Furthermore, the power-taking assembly 34 also includes a grounding shaft 344. Part of the grounding shaft 344 is installed inside the socket housing 32, and another part passes through the plug 31 and extends out of the plug 31. The part extending out of the plug 31 serves as a grounding contact. When the power-taking arm 341 makes contact with the conductive plate 222 and conducts electricity, the grounding contact of the grounding shaft 344 abuts against the track housing 21.

[0050] Furthermore, a first grounding hole 312 is provided on the plug 31, and the grounding shaft 344 extends out of the plug 31 from the first grounding hole 312.

[0051] like Figures 8-13 As shown, the socket module 3 also includes an electrical connection component 35, which is mounted on the mounting plate 33. The electrical connection component 35 is used to connect the power supply of the electrical device to the power supply component 34. The electrical connection component 35 includes a first connecting component 351 and a second connecting component 352. The first connecting component 351 is used to electrically connect the conductive sheet 222 of the rail module 2, and the second connecting component 352 is used for grounding.

[0052] Specifically, the first connecting component 351 is connected to the power taking shaft 342, and the second connecting component 352 is connected to the grounding shaft 344.

[0053] Furthermore, the first connecting component 351 includes a first contact 3511, which corresponds to a socket 3221 on the upper housing 322 of the socket, and is connected to the power-taking component 34. Specifically, the first contact 3511 is connected to the power-taking shaft 342.

[0054] Furthermore, the first connecting assembly 351 includes a first clamping member 3513, which is connected to the first contact member 3511 and is clamped onto the power-taking shaft 342. While the first clamping member 3513 is clamped onto the power-taking shaft 342, it allows the power-taking shaft 342 to rotate within the first clamping member 3513, so that the power-taking arm 341 can achieve contact and separation with the conductive sheet 222 through rotation.

[0055] Furthermore, the first connecting assembly 351 also includes a first connector 3512, and the first contact 3511 is connected to the first clamping member 3513 through the first connector 3512.

[0056] Furthermore, there are two sets of first connecting components 351, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with conductive sheets 222 so as to connect with the live wire and the neutral wire.

[0057] Furthermore, the second connection assembly 352 includes a second contact 3521, which corresponds to a socket 3221 on the socket housing 322 and is connected to the power supply assembly 34. Specifically, the second contact 3521 is connected to the grounding shaft 344.

[0058] Furthermore, the second connection assembly 352 includes a second clamping member 3523, which is connected to the second contact member 3521 and is clamped on the grounding shaft 344.

[0059] Furthermore, the second connecting assembly 352 also includes a second connector 3522, and the second contact 3521 is connected to the second clamping member 3523 through the second connector 3522.

[0060] Furthermore, there are two grounding shafts 344, which are respectively located on both sides of the power taking shaft 342. The grounding shafts 344 are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the second clamping member 3523. Both second clamping members 3523 are connected to the same second connecting member 3522, and there is also one second contact member 3521.

[0061] The socket module 3 provided in this embodiment is suitable for two-pin and three-pin power supplies of electrical equipment, that is, the socket 3221 corresponds to two-pin power supplies and three-pin power supplies respectively. Each of the two first contacts 3511 has two insertion positions, and the second contact 3521 has one insertion position, to accommodate the two-pin and three-pin power supplies of the electrical equipment. When the electrical equipment is a two-pin power supply, the two-pin power supply is inserted into the two first contacts 3511 respectively to connect with the live wire and neutral wire of the power supply line 5, and the grounding shaft 344 abuts against the rail housing 21; when the electrical equipment is a three-pin power supply, the three-pin power supply is inserted into the two first contacts 3511 and the second contact 3521 respectively to connect with the live wire and neutral wire of the power supply line 5, the grounding shaft 344 abuts against the rail housing 21, and the grounding piece 223 is grounded to the rail housing 21, or the grounding piece 223 is directly grounded.

[0062] Furthermore, the socket module 3 also includes an insulating plate 36, which is installed on the socket upper shell 322. A sleeve 37 is provided inside the insulating plate 36, which corresponds to the socket hole 3221 to locate the power plug of the electrical equipment and ensure electrical insulation.

[0063] Furthermore, the socket 37 is provided with positioning holes 371, which correspond one-to-one with the socket 3221 to position the power plug of the electrical equipment.

[0064] like Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the lower housing 321 of the socket is detachably connected to the plug 31. Specifically, the lower housing 321 of the socket also includes a snap-fit ​​portion 3212, which is integrally formed with the lower housing body 3211. The snap-fit ​​portion 3212 is detachably connected to the plug 31, facilitating quick installation and disassembly and easy maintenance. Of course, in other embodiments, the plug 31 and the lower housing 321 of the socket may also be integrally formed or fixedly connected.

[0065] Furthermore, of the two parts, the snap-fit ​​part 3212 and the plug 31, one is provided with a snap-fit ​​314 and the other is provided with a slot 32123, with the snap-fit ​​314 snapping into the slot 32123.

[0066] Furthermore, the lower housing 321 of the socket also includes a housing connecting post 3213, which is disposed inside the lower housing body 3211 and is used to connect to the upper housing 322 of the socket. Specifically, the housing connecting post 3213 has a housing connecting hole, and a fastener passes through the upper housing 322 of the socket and is threadedly connected to the housing connecting hole.

[0067] Furthermore, the socket lower housing 321 also includes a plate connecting post 3214, which is disposed inside the lower housing body 3211 and is used to connect the mounting plate 33. Specifically, the plate connecting post 3214 has a plate connecting hole, and a fastener passes through the mounting plate 33 and is threadedly connected to the plate connecting hole.

[0068] Furthermore, a second grounding hole 32121 is provided on the snap-fit ​​part 3212. The grounding shaft 344 passes through the second grounding hole 32121 from the lower shell 321 of the socket and enters the plug 31. Then it passes through the first grounding hole 312 and exits the plug 31. The part that exits the plug 31 serves as a grounding contact.

[0069] Furthermore, a second shaft hole 32122 is provided on the snap-fit ​​part 3212, and the power-taking shaft 342 passes through the second shaft hole 32122 from the lower shell 321 of the socket and enters the first shaft hole 313 of the plug 31.

[0070] In the socket module 3 provided in this embodiment, the driving component 345 drives the linkage component 343 to rotate, and the linkage component 343 drives the power-taking shaft 342 and the power-taking arm 341 to rotate. Compared with the form of transmitting rotation through a spring, the transmission method in this embodiment is a mechanical transmission, which is more stable and less prone to failure. It is not limited by the load-carrying capacity of the spring, will not cause current overload, and can continuously operate the rotation of the power-taking arm 341.

[0071] like Figures 16-19 As shown, this embodiment provides a track socket, which also includes a protective module 1. The protective module 1 is disposed in the track groove 211 and provides protection for the track groove 211.

[0072] The protective module 1 includes a protective frame 11 and a protective door 12. The protective frame 11 is installed inside the track housing 21, and the protective door 12 is rotatably mounted on the protective frame 11. The protective door 12 has a first state and a second state. The first state and the second state of the protective door 12 are switched by rotating the protective door 12. When the protective door 12 is in the first state, the protective door 12 is attached to the track housing 21 to block the track groove 211. When the protective door 12 is in the second state, the protective door 12 is away from the track groove 211, and the protective door 12 contacts the plug 31, which is inserted into the track groove 211.

[0073] The protective door 12 provides physical shielding for the track groove 211, protecting the track socket from dust, moisture, and splashes. The rotating protective door 12 is linked to the socket module 3. When the plug 31 of the socket module 3 needs to be inserted into the track groove 211, the protective door 12 opens accordingly; when the plug 31 of the socket module 3 is removed from the track socket 212, the protective door 12 rotates and seals the track socket 212. No additional user intervention is required, achieving a completely plug-and-play experience. The protective module 1 is installed inside the track housing 21, without occupying additional external space, increasing the overall thickness and width of the track module 2, or affecting the smoothness of the socket module 3's sliding. Furthermore, the rotating protective door 12 is not easily damaged, has a low failure rate, and is easy to maintain.

[0074] Furthermore, the protective module 1 also includes a rotating shaft 14, which is located inside the protective frame 11, and the protective door 12 is installed on the rotating shaft 14.

[0075] Furthermore, there are multiple protective doors 12, which are spaced apart on the protective frame 11 along the extension direction of the track groove 211. When two adjacent protective doors 12 are both in the first state, there is no gap between the two adjacent protective doors 12. The absence of gaps between the two adjacent protective doors 12 ensures that each protective door 12 completely seals the track groove 211, thus providing good protection.

[0076] Furthermore, the protective frame 11 is provided with multiple door cavities 113 spaced apart, and each door cavity 113 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with a protective door 12, with the protective door 12 rotatably positioned within the corresponding door cavity 113.

[0077] Furthermore, multiple adjacent protective doors 12 are in the second state and form an open group, while other protective doors 12 are in the first state and form a closed group, so that the track socket 212 is exposed on the track groove 211 and the plug 31 is inserted into the track socket 212.

[0078] The multiple protective doors 12 ensure that each protective door 12 completely seals the track groove 211, while the protective door 12 can be opened according to the insertion position of the plug 31 on the track groove 211. The protective doors 12 at other positions remain closed. The track groove 211 is sealed with protective doors 12 at all positions except the insertion position, which can play a good protective role.

[0079] By opening the protective doors 12 at different positions on the track groove 211, the track socket 212 can be formed at any position on the track groove 211, so that the insertion position of the plug 31 is not restricted by the setting of the protective module 1, and the flexibility is better to meet the user's needs for different positions of the plug 31.

[0080] With this setup, multiple socket modules 3 can be inserted into the track module 2 without interfering with each other, and the protective door 12 can provide good protection.

[0081] Furthermore, the protection module 1 also includes a magnetic suction component 13, which is used to attach the protection door 12 to the track socket 212.

[0082] Specifically, the magnetic suction assembly 13 includes a first magnetic suction element 131 and a second magnetic suction element 132. The first magnetic suction element 131 is disposed on the protective door 12, and the second magnetic suction element 132 is disposed on the track socket 212. When the plug 31 is not inserted into the track socket 212, the protective door 12 is attracted to the track socket 212 by the attraction of the magnetic suction assembly 13, sealing the track socket 212 and achieving the protective function. When the plug 31 is inserted into the track socket 212, the insertion force of the plug 31 is greater than the magnetic attraction force, and the plug 31 will drive the protective door 12 to move. The protective door 12 rotates under the push of the plug 31 so that the plug 31 can be inserted into the track socket 212 and electrically connected to the conductive sheet 222.

[0083] The magnetic component 13 uses magnetic adsorption, which can maintain magnetism for a long time without the use of external energy input. It is more durable than torsion spring reset and has a simple structure. When the protective door 12 is in the first state, the magnetic force will tightly adsorb the protective door 12 onto the track socket 212, forming a uniform pressing force, thereby providing a better sealing effect.

[0084] Furthermore, the magnetic suction component 13 is set up in a one-to-one correspondence with the protective door 12.

[0085] Furthermore, the protective frame 11 is provided with an abutment surface 111. When the protective door 12 is in the second state, the protective door 12 abuts against the abutment surface 111. Since the rotation of the protective door 12 is driven by the plug 31, the protective door 12 loses power after the plug 31 is fully inserted into the track socket 212. If the rotation stroke of the protective door 12 is not limited, the protective door 12 will sway back and forth around the pivot 14 under the action of gravity. The abutment surface 111 restricts the protective door 12 from continuing to rotate after the plug 31 is fully inserted into the track socket 212, so as to ensure that the protective door 12 will not sway within the protective frame 11 after the plug 31 is inserted into the track socket 212, thus ensuring the stability of the protective door 12.

[0086] Furthermore, the contact surface 111 is an inclined surface, and the placement surface is inclined from the direction away from the plug 31 to the direction closer to the plug 31 in the direction away from the track socket 212. This inclination direction causes the protective door 12 to rotate in the opposite direction under the action of gravity after the plug 31 is pulled out of the track socket 212, and then re-attach to the track housing 21 under the attraction of the second magnetic suction member 132, thus realizing the automatic reset of the protective door 12.

[0087] Furthermore, the protective frame 11 is provided with a placement groove 112. The protective door 12 includes a door body 122 and a protrusion 121. The protrusion 121 protrudes from the door body 122 in a direction away from the track insertion port 212. When the protective door 12 is in the second state, the protrusion 121 is located in the placement groove 112, and the door body 122 abuts against the abutment surface 111. The placement groove 112 provides a certain limiting function for the protective door 12.

[0088] Specifically, the door body 122 abuts against the abutment surface 111.

[0089] Furthermore, the protective door 12 also includes a rotating part 123 connected to the door body 122. A protrusion 121 is located below the rotating part 123. The size of the rotating part 123 is smaller than the size of the door body 122 and also smaller than the size of the protrusion 121, so that there is no gap between adjacent door bodies 122 and the door cavities 113 are spaced apart. This arrangement facilitates the separation of each door cavity 113 to form an independent cavity, and each protective door 12 will not interfere with each other.

[0090] Specifically, the door body 122, the rotating part 123, and the protrusion 121 are integrally formed.

[0091] like Figures 20-21 As shown, the track socket also includes a wiring module 4, which is located inside the track housing 21 and on one side of the conductive component 22. The wiring module 4 is used to connect the power supply line 5 to the conductive component 22 of the track module 2.

[0092] The wiring module 4 includes a junction box 41 and wiring terminals disposed within the junction box 41. The junction box 41 is disposed within the rail housing 21. The wiring terminals include a wiring base 42 and wiring conductors 43. The wiring base 42 is fixed within the junction box 41. The wiring conductors 43 include a wiring frame 431 and wiring screws 432. The wiring frame 431 is installed within the junction box 41 and is used to install conductive plates 222 or grounding plates 223. The wiring screws 432 are installed on the wiring base 42 and can press the conductive plates 222 or grounding plates 223 against the power supply line 5. The wiring base 42 is provided with two sets of wiring conductors 43 with different wiring positions to adapt to different wiring methods caused by electrician habits and regional differences.

[0093] Furthermore, each group of conductors 43 includes three terminal blocks 431 and three terminal screws 432, with each terminal block 431 and terminal screw 432 corresponding to the live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire in the power supply line 5. Each group of conductors 43 corresponds to one wiring method, specifically: One set of wiring screws 432 abuts against the conductive piece 222 or the grounding piece 223, and the conductive piece 222 or the grounding piece 223 abuts against the power supply line 5. That is, the conductive piece 222 or the grounding piece 223 is located between the wiring screw 432 and the terminal of the power supply line 5. Tightening the wiring screw 432 can press the conductive piece 222 or the grounding piece 223 against the terminal of the power supply line 5. Compared with the wiring screw 432 abutting against the power supply line 5, the contact area between the conductive piece 222 or the grounding piece 223 and the power supply line 5 is larger. This wiring method is suitable for power supply lines 5 with multiple strands of wire. It is difficult for the wiring screw 432 to abut against all the power supply lines 5 with multiple strands of wire. In another set, the wiring screw 432 abuts against the power supply line 5, and the conductive plate 222 or grounding plate 223 abuts against the power supply line 5. That is, the terminal of the power supply line 5 is located between the wiring screw 432 and the conductive plate 222 or grounding plate 223. Tightening the wiring screw 432 can press the terminal of the power supply line 5 against the conductive plate 222 or grounding plate 223. This wiring method is suitable for single-strand power supply lines 5. The area of ​​the single-strand power supply line 5 is small, and it can achieve good conductivity by directly abutting against the wiring screw 432.

[0094] These two wiring methods can adapt to different wiring methods caused by electricians' habits and regional differences. Compared with setting wiring modules 4 on both sides of track module 2, the wiring of wiring module 4 provided in this embodiment is more concentrated, which is convenient for maintenance and repair, and is suitable for narrow installation spaces. Different wiring methods can also be used as backup lines.

[0095] Furthermore, the wiring base 42 includes a wiring part 421 and a conductive support part 422. The wiring part 421 is used to connect the terminals of the power supply line 5, and the conductive support part 422 is used to support the conductive piece 222 and the grounding piece 223. The wiring part 421 and the conductive support part 422 are connected. The wiring frame 431 and the wiring screw 432 are both installed on the wiring part 421, and the conductive piece 222 and the grounding piece 223 are both installed on the conductive support part 422.

[0096] Furthermore, the wiring part 421 is provided with screw holes 4211, which are used to connect grounding screws. The grounding screws are set one-to-one with the screw holes 4211.

[0097] Furthermore, the grounding screw is threaded into the screw hole 4211, and the free end of the grounding screw extends into the wiring frame 431 and is electrically connected to the power supply line 5 by crimping.

[0098] Furthermore, the conductive support portion 422 has a support surface for supporting the conductive piece 222 and the grounding piece 223. The support surface and the wiring frame 431 are located on the same side of the wiring base 42. This arrangement facilitates the direct insertion of the conductive piece 222 and the grounding piece 223 into their corresponding wiring frames 431.

[0099] Furthermore, the wiring module 4 also includes a support pad 44, which is located on the side of the wiring section 421 near the wiring frame 431 and is used to support one set of wiring conductors 43.
