[0031] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present disclosure, the scheme of the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0032] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0033] The smart magnetic lamp includes a wireless control unit, which is used to transmit wireless control signals and control the working status of the lamp. In the structure of the smart magnetic lamp, the wireless control unit is set in each smart lamp. When transmitting the wireless control signal, a single lamp control solution is adopted to control each smart lamp separately. Conventional magnetic lamps do not require a wireless control unit, and unlike the lamps of smart magnetic lamps, the lamps used in the two control methods are not interchangeable, and the controllers are also different. Therefore, conventional magnetic lamps and smart magnetic lamps are not interchangeable. If the user wants to switch to different control methods to control the magnetic lamp, two sets of magnetic lamps need to be prepared, which leads to higher overall costs.

[0034] The present disclosure provides a track light. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a track light structure provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the track light includes: a power module 1, a controller 2 and a lamp 3.

[0035] The power module 1 , the controller 2 and the lamp 3 are all arranged on the track 4 , and the controller 2 , the power module 1 and the lamp 3 are electrically connected via the conductive structure 5 of the track 4 .

[0036] The controller 2 includes a first controller or a second controller. The first controller includes a wireless communication unit, which is used to receive a wireless control signal and control the working state of the lamp 3 according to the wireless control signal. The second controller controls the working state of the lamp 3 according to the on and off of the power module 1.

[0037] refer to Figure 1 The track light includes a track 4, a conductive structure 5 is arranged on the track 4, and a power module 1, a controller 2 and a lamp 3 are all arranged on the track 4, and there are conductive contacts on the power module 1, the controller 2 and the lamp 3, and the conductive contacts can be electrically connected to the conductive structure 5 on the track 4, so that the power module 1, the controller 2 and the lamp 3 form a circuit loop. The power module 1 provides power to the controller 2 and the lamp 3, and the controller 2 controls the working state of the lamp 3.

[0038] The controller 2 includes a first controller and a second controller, wherein the first controller includes a wireless communication unit, the wireless communication unit is used to receive a wireless control signal, and control the working state of the lamp 3 according to the wireless control signal. For example, in a scenario where the user needs to use a mobile phone to control the lamp, the controller 2 is set as the first controller, and the lamps on the track 4 loop are controlled by the first controller. The user uses a mobile phone to send a wireless control signal, and the wireless communication unit in the first controller receives the wireless control signal, and controls the working state of the lamp 3 according to the instruction of the wireless control signal, such as controlling the lamp 3 to turn on or adjusting the brightness, color temperature and other parameters of the lamp 3. In the scenario where the user manually controls the wall switch, there is no need to use a wireless signal to control the lamp 3, and the second controller can be used. For example, the user turns on the wall switch, turns on the power module 1, and the second controller is electrically connected to the power module 1. The second controller controls the working state of the lamp 3 according to the on and off of the power module 1.

[0039] In the above two application scenarios, different control methods are adopted to control the lamps, and the lamps and power modules remain unchanged. When there are different needs, the control method can be selected by adjusting the controller type, which improves the compatibility of track lights and reduces the cost of the entire lamp.

[0040] The power module, controller and lamp of the track light provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure are all separately arranged and electrically connected through the conductive structure on the track. The controller includes a first controller or a second controller, wherein the first controller includes a wireless communication unit. When wireless communication is required to control the lamp, the first controller is selected to be electrically connected to the power module and the lamp; and when manual control of the lamp is required, the second controller is selected to be electrically connected to the power module and the lamp. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the same type of lamp and power module are used, and the controller is divided into a first controller and a second controller. The two controllers are independently arranged and control the lamp in different ways, thereby meeting various control requirements, and the lamp and the power module can be universal, reducing costs.

[0041] In the prior art, wireless communication is used to control lamps, mostly in a single lamp control mode, that is, a wireless communication unit is provided inside each lamp. When a lamp receives or sends a wireless signal, the cloud needs to receive or send the control signal corresponding to each lamp separately, and there is a channel blockage, resulting in the failure of successful transmission of signals of some lamps, resulting in the situation of missed control of lamps. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the wireless communication unit is no longer provided in the lamp, but is provided in the first controller, and the first controller receives or sends the wireless control signal, and each lamp receives or sends the wireless signal separately, thereby avoiding missed control and improving the control effect.

[0042] In some embodiments, the controller includes a plurality of first controllers or a plurality of second controllers; the plurality of first controllers or the plurality of second controllers are connected in parallel and are electrically connected to the control end of the lamp through the conductive structure of the track.

[0043] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of another track light provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, two controllers 2 and two lamps 3 are provided by way of example, and both controllers 2 are first controllers or second controllers. The two controllers 2 are identical, and the same ports are connected in parallel and electrically connected to the control end of the lamp 3 through the conductive structure of the track, and the two controllers 2 jointly control the two lamps 3, thereby increasing the working power of the controller 2.

[0044] The controller provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can simultaneously control all lamps electrically connected to the controller through the conductive structure. Therefore, when there are too many lamps and the power is high, using one controller to control all lamps will exceed the working power of the controller and easily damage the controller. After two identical controllers are connected in parallel, the transistors inside the controller that control the lamps are connected in parallel, which improves the control ability of the controller and can control more lamps. When multiple lamps are controlled by wireless communication, the controller includes multiple first controllers, which are connected in parallel and electrically connected to the control end of the lamp through the conductive structure of the track; when the user controls the lamp manually, the controller includes multiple second controllers, which are connected in parallel and electrically connected to the control end of the lamp through the conductive structure of the track. Among them, the number of controllers and lamps is selected according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0045] In some embodiments, the wireless communication unit includes a WiFi module, a Bluetooth module or a ZigBee module.

[0046] The first controller is provided with a wireless communication unit. When the user controls the working state of the lamp, it is not necessary to control the physical switch corresponding to the lamp, such as the switch set on the wall, but can interact with the lamp through remote communication. The user can send a wireless control signal to the wireless communication unit of the first controller through a smart terminal such as a mobile phone, and the first controller adjusts the working state of the lamp according to the received wireless control signal. The lamp can also feed back the current working state to the user's mobile phone through the wireless communication unit in the first controller, so that the user can grasp the current working state of the lamp, such as parameters such as brightness and color temperature.

[0047] Among them, the wireless communication unit may include a WiFi module, a Bluetooth module or a ZigBee module, etc., all of which are short-range wireless technologies. The wireless communication cost in WiFi mode is low and easier to implement. The wireless communication in Bluetooth mode has low power consumption and enhanced coverage, with a maximum range of more than 100 meters. It is optimized for one-to-one connections and supports one-to-many connections in star topology. The wireless communication network in ZigBee mode has low power consumption, large network capacity, flexible operating frequency band, and is suitable for controlling multiple connected electronic devices. Each of the modules provided above can realize the communication connection of the Internet of Things.

[0048] In some other embodiments, the wireless communication unit may also be other communication modules that perform data transmission through corresponding communication protocols. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific type of the wireless communication unit, and the above embodiments are only for illustrative purposes.

[0049] In some embodiments, Figure 3 Another track light provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the track light includes a plurality of lamps 3 arranged in parallel on a track 4 .

[0050] The control ends of the multiple lamps 3 are all connected to the same controller 2 .

[0051] For example, Figure 3 Three lamps 3 are provided, and the control ends of the three lamps 3 are electrically connected to the same controller 2. The controller 2 includes a transistor for controlling the working state of the lamps, and the control ends of the multiple lamps 3 are electrically connected to the transistors in the same controller. The controller 2 adjusts the output current of the transistor according to the control signal, thereby controlling the working state of the multiple lamps 3.

[0052] In some embodiments, the luminaire includes at least two color light sources.

[0053] The lamp may include at least two color light sources, such as a yellow light source and a white light source. The controller is connected to the yellow light source and the white light source in the lamp respectively, and adjusts the current output to the light sources of different colors according to the control signal to adjust the brightness and color temperature of the lamp. For example, when the light is required to be white, the current passing through the yellow light source is controlled to be 0, and only the current loop of the white light source is opened; if the light is required to be yellow, the current passing through the white light source is controlled to be 0, and only the current loop of the yellow light source is opened; or if the light color is required to be mixed, the current loops of the two color light sources can be opened, and the current ratio passing through the corresponding loops of the different color light sources is adjusted according to the actual situation, so that the luminous color reaches the desired light color. Among them, the lamp can also include light sources of other colors, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the above is only an example.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first controller also includes at least one of a photosensitive detection unit, an infrared detection unit, a microwave radar detection unit, and a voice detection unit.

[0055] Optionally, the first controller includes a photosensitive detection unit, such as a photosensitive sensor, which controls the working state of the lamp by detecting the external ambient light. For example, when the outside is dim, the first controller controls the lamp to start. Alternatively, the first controller includes an infrared detection unit, such as an infrared sensor, which can detect thermal imaging information, determine whether there are people in the outside world, and need to start the lamp. When there are people, the first controller controls the lamp to start. Alternatively, the first controller includes a microwave radar detection unit, such as a microwave radar sensor, which can use electromagnetic waves to detect whether there are objects moving in the outside world. When there are people, the first controller controls the lamp to start. Alternatively, the first controller may also include a voice detection unit, such as a voice sensor. When sound is detected in the environment, or the voice meets the preset requirements, it is determined that there are people, and the first controller starts the lamp.

[0056] In some optional embodiments, the first controller may also include at least one of the above-mentioned detection units to improve the intelligence of the track light. The first controller may also include detection units corresponding to other wireless control methods. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific type of the detection unit, and the above-mentioned embodiments are only for illustrative purposes.

[0057] In one embodiment, the second controller comprises a multi-tone light controller.

[0058] The second controller includes a multi-color dimming controller. When the lamp includes light sources of multiple colors, the color of the light can be switched by the multi-color dimming controller. For example, the lamp includes a yellow light source and a white light source, and the two light sources are connected in parallel in the lamp. The multi-color dimming controller controls the on and off of the two light sources. The multi-color dimming controller controls the white light source to be on, and the light is white; controls the yellow light source to be on, and the light is yellow; controls both light sources to be on, and the light is warm. Usually, a switch can be set on the wall, and the light color displayed by the lamp is controlled by the order of switching the switches.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of another track light provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the conductive structure includes a power signal line 51 and a light emitting control signal line 52 .

[0060] For example, Figure 4Two power signal lines 51 and two light control signal lines 52 are provided, wherein the two power signal lines 51 include a positive power signal line and a negative power signal line, and are used to provide power to the controller 2 and the lamp 3. The two light control signal lines 52 are respectively a white light control signal line and a yellow light signal control line, wherein one end of the white light control signal line is electrically connected to the white light source and the other end is electrically connected to the controller, and one end of the yellow light control signal line is electrically connected to the yellow light source and the other end is electrically connected to the controller. The controller 2 can control the current passing through the light control signal line to adjust the working state of the lamp 3.

[0061] Optionally, if only one light source is provided in the lamp, then there is one light emission control signal line, and the number of light emission control signal lines corresponds to the number of light sources in the lamp.

[0062] Optionally, Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of another track light provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 5 As shown, the lamp includes a first lamp 31 and a second lamp 32, and the first lamp 31 and the second lamp 32 are of different types. The first lamp 31 can be at least one of a spotlight, a grille light, a floodlight, and a hanging light. The second lamp 32 is a lamp of a different type from the first lamp 31.

[0063] In some embodiments, the power module, the controller and the bottom of the lamp are all provided with a magnetic attraction portion, and the power module, the controller and the lamp can be detachably installed in the track through the magnetic attraction portion.

[0064] The track is made of metal materials, and the power module, controller and lamp are provided with magnetic parts at the bottom. When assembling the track light, the power module, controller and lamp can be installed at any position of the track through the magnetic part. Since the track light is installed through the magnetic part, it is easy to disassemble. If the position of each structure needs to be adjusted, just remove the corresponding power module, controller or lamp and install it to the required position again through the magnetic part.

The position of each structure in the track light can be more easily adjusted through the magnetic part structure.

[0065] In some embodiments, Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the structure of another track light provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the track 4 includes a plurality of track bars 41 .

[0066] The conductive structures 5 between adjacent track bars 41 are electrically connected via connectors 6 .

[0067] refer to Figure 7 , two sections of track bars 41 are provided as an example, and the conductive structures 5 on the two sections of track bars 41 are electrically connected through a connector, so that the power module 1 can supply power to the controller 2 and the lamps 3 on the two sections of track bars 41, and the controller 2 can control all the lamps 3 on the two sections of track bars 41 at the same time.

[0068] In other embodiments, the track light may further include other structures or functional components known to those skilled in the art, which are not described or limited herein.

[0069] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
