Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of sockets, and more particularly to a track socket. Background Art

[0002] As the quality of life improves, people use more and more electrical appliances, and the number of wall sockets required is also increasing. Since the number of ordinary wall sockets is often not enough, and if too many wall sockets are installed, it will affect the appearance. Therefore, track sockets came into being.

[0003] The track socket includes an adapter and a long power track. The power track is installed on a wall or other location. The power track is a solution composed of a housing component (track upper shell) and a current-carrying component (including the track lower shell). It is the power supply body in the track socket system and is used to provide support for the tap unit (adapter) to take power. The power track includes a shell and a plurality of busbars arranged in the shell. The plurality of busbars include an L-pole busbar, an N-pole busbar and an E-pole busbar. The L-pole busbar is used to connect to the live wire, the N-pole busbar is used to connect to the neutral wire, and the E-pole busbar is used to connect to the ground wire.

[0004] Currently, most of the rail socket products on the market have an integrated aluminum structure for the shell and the main body. Since the rail socket is an integrated structure, the product platform is not very expandable. Different lengths and different appearances require the replacement of the production line, and modular production cannot be achieved. This not only increases the materials but also the assembly process, ultimately leading to increased costs. In addition, the platform ductility of the integrated structure is not strong and cannot be expanded as a platform. Therefore, the production efficiency of the structural components of the integrated rail socket products is low, and it is not conducive to product diversification.

[0005] In order to build rail current-carrying component modules, reduce enterprise manufacturing costs, improve product diversification, product layout and common platform extension, reduce platform materials, reduce assembly processes, reduce costs, realize product modularization, and facilitate subsequent platform development, a split power rail has been developed. It can eliminate specific rail integrated parts by adopting a structural method of splitting and assembling the upper shell and the lower shell of the power rail. However, the ground electrode conductive sheet in this split power rail needs to be set as an arc structure with a raised middle to provide elasticity, so as to elastically contact with the ground electrode pin of the adapter in the rail socket. Therefore, the manufacturing process of this rail socket is complicated, the production efficiency is low, and the manufacturing cost is high.

[0006] To address this problem, it is necessary to develop a track socket in which the ground conductive sheet is in a flat shape and can make the ground conductive sheet elastically contact with the ground pin, so as to simplify the manufacturing process of the track socket, improve production efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs.

The curling portion 2401 can be formed by bending the protrusions on both sides of the ground electrode conductive strip 243. A predetermined interval is spaced between two adjacent curling portions 2401. By providing the curling portion on the ground electrode conductive strip 243, the side edges of the ground electrode conductive strip can be prevented from pulling the skin of the installer.

[0122] A plurality of circular holes are formed on the ground electrode conductive bar 243, and the plurality of circular holes are arranged in a row on the center line of the ground electrode conductive bar 243, and a predetermined interval is spaced between two adjacent circular holes.

[0124] A third insulator 223 is provided between the ground conductive bar 243 and the track lower shell 210, and the third insulator 223 extends along the length direction of the track lower shell 210. Thus, the ground conductive bar 243 is electrically insulated from other conductors.

[0125] One end of the connecting piece 241 may be connected to the ground conductive bar 243 by riveting or bolting.

[0126] A mounting hole for fixing the ground connection plate assembly is formed on the track upper shell 100 and the track lower shell 210. A mounting hole is formed at the other end of the connection plate 241. The connection plate 241 can be fixedly connected to the track upper shell 100 and the track lower shell 210 by bolts, and the other end of the connection plate 241 is located between the track upper shell 100, the track lower shell 210 and the track tail cover 400.

[0128] According to the track socket of the embodiment of the present disclosure, Figures 10 to 13 As shown, the track socket includes: the power track 10 mentioned above; and an adapter 500. The adapter 500 has an adapter body 501, an insertion plate 502, a grounding pin 503, and an adapter locking member 504. By inserting the insertion plate 502 and the grounding pin 503 into the slot 110, and making the live wire connection terminal and the neutral wire connection terminal of the insertion part 502 contact the first conductive strip 231 and the second conductive strip 232 respectively, and making the grounding pin 503 elastically contact the grounding conductive strip 243 in the track lower shell 210, a grounding loop between the adapter 500 and the power track is formed, so that the power can be turned on to make the track socket work.

[0129] Among them, one side of the insertion plate 502 (i.e. Figures 10 to 13 The upper side of the adapter body 501 is connected to the adapter body 501, and the other side of the insertion plate 502 (i.e. Figures 10 to 13 The lower side of the grounding plate 240 may have a receiving groove, in which the grounding pin 503 may be located and may be elastically retractable, that is, the grounding pin 503 may elastically extend from the receiving groove or retract into the receiving groove, so that the grounding pin 503 may elastically contact the grounding conductive strip 243.

[0130] The track socket of the embodiment of the present disclosure has a flat ground conductive strip, and the ground pin can be retractably and elastically contacted with the ground conductive strip, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the track socket, improving production efficiency and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0131] The adapter 500 has an adapter mating surface 505 located at the bottom of the adapter body 501 .

[0132] On the left and right sides of the insert plate 502 (i.e. Figures 10 to 13 Adapter locking members 504 are installed on the left and right sides of the track upper shell 100, respectively. The adapter locking members 504 can be elastically extended from or retracted into the insertion plate 502. After the insertion plate 502 of the adapter 500 passes through the slot 110 and the adapter plugging surface 505 is in contact with the upper shell plugging surface 107, the adapter locking members 504 are buckled under the slot 110 of the track upper shell 100, thereby preventing the adapter 500 from falling out of the track upper shell 100.
