[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The waterproof track socket of the present invention includes a track body 100, a conductive strip 200, two waterproof strips 300, and a junction box 400. The track body 100 is provided with a track groove 110, and a side wall of the track groove 110 is provided with an open groove 120 along the length direction; the conductive strip 200 is provided in the track groove 110; the two waterproof strips 300 are provided on the track body 100 and are respectively located on both sides of the width direction of the open groove 120. The waterproof strips 300 are provided along the length direction of the track groove 110. The two waterproof strips 300 can move away from each other to open the open groove 120 or move closer to each other to close the open groove 120; the junction box 400 is installed on the track body 100 and is located at one end of the track groove 110. The junction box 400 is electrically connected to the conductive strip 200, and the junction box 400 and the track body 100 clamp the end of the waterproof strip 300.

[0032] During production, when the junction box 400 is installed on the track body 100, the junction box 400 and the track body 100 clamp and fix the ends of the two waterproof strips 300, so that the waterproof strips 300 are not easy to slip during use. The junction box 400 has the additional function of fixing the ends of the waterproof strips 300, and there is no need for an additional process for fixing the ends of the waterproof strips 300, which simplifies the fixing method of the ends of the waterproof strips 300, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0033] Specifically, the track socket in this embodiment has two conductive bars 200, one of which is a live conductive bar 200 and the other is a neutral conductive bar 200. It is understood that in other embodiments, the track socket can also have three conductive bars 200, namely a neutral conductive bar 200, a live conductive bar 200, and a ground conductive bar 200.

[0034] It should be understood that, in the track socket, the width of the opening slot 120 is smaller than the width of the track slot 110. Specifically, the two conductive bars 200 are respectively located on the two side slot walls of the track slot 110 in the width direction.

[0035] Specifically, the waterproof strip 300 is located in the track groove 110 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the track body 100 is provided with slots 130 on both sides of the opening slot 120 in the width direction. The waterproof strip 300 is provided with a retaining rib 310 on the side facing away from the opening slot 120. The waterproof strip 300 is inserted into the corresponding slot 130 via the retaining rib 310. The waterproof strip 300 is inserted into the retaining slot 130 of the track body 100 via the retaining rib 310, achieving the insertion and installation of the waterproof strip 300 facing away from the opening slot 120, thereby completing the installation of the waterproof strip 300 to the track body 100. The installation structure of the strip-shaped waterproof strip 300 is relatively simple, and the fixing effect of the waterproof strip 300 is good at all locations along the length direction.

[0037] Specifically, the slot width of the card slot 130 is smaller than the width of the card rib portion 310 , and the cross section of the card rib portion 310 is approximately circular, so that after the waterproof strip 300 is inserted into the card slot 130 through the card rib portion 310 , it is not easy to accidentally detach from the card slot 130 .

[0038] It is conceivable that in other embodiments, an embedding groove can be provided on the side of the waterproof strip 300 facing away from the opening groove 120, and a card block can be provided on the track body 100, and the card block can be embedded in the embedding groove to install the waterproof strip 300 on the track body 100.

[0039] In this embodiment, the rail body 100 is provided with stop bars 140 on both sides of the open slot 120 in the width direction. The stop bars 140 form the slot walls of the slot 130. The junction box 400 is provided with a pressing block 410. The pressing block 410 is located between the two stop bars 140. The retaining ribs 310 of the waterproof strip 300 are clamped between the pressing block 410 and the corresponding stop bar 140. The stop bar 140 forms a portion of the slot 130. The pressing block 410 is located between the two stop bars 140. The two stop bars 140 respectively clamp the corresponding waterproof strip 300 with one side of the pressing block 410. One pressing block 410 can clamp and secure two waterproof strips 300 with the two stop bars 140, thereby simplifying the structure of the junction box 400 and reducing the manufacturing cost of the junction box 400.

[0040] Specifically, the latching slot 130 and the stopping bar 140 are both located in the track slot 110 .

[0041] In the embodiment, the width of the pressing block 410 gradually decreases as it approaches the middle of the stop bar 140. When the junction box 400 is assembled, it is installed along the length of the track groove 110 toward the track body 100. At this time, the insertion end of the pressing block 410 is the small end, and the rear end of the pressing block 410 is the large end. When the pressing block 410 is inserted, it can gradually clamp the corresponding rib portion 310 of the waterproof strip 300 with the stop bar 140. When the junction box 400 is installed in place, the pressing block 410 and the stop bar 140 clamp the rib portion 310 of the waterproof strip 300 to the tightest effect, thereby reducing the impact of the pressing block 410 on the difficulty of installing the junction box 400 and preventing the rib portion 310 from slipping.

[0042] In the embodiment, first inclined surfaces 411 are provided on both sides of the width direction of the pressing block 410, and second inclined surfaces 141 are provided on the two stop bars 140. Both the first inclined surfaces 411 and the second inclined surfaces 141 are inclined relative to the length direction of the track groove 110, and the included angle of the two first inclined surfaces 411 is the same as the included angle of the two second inclined surfaces 141. The two first inclined surfaces 411 facilitate forming a shape in which the width of the pressing block 410 gradually decreases as it approaches the middle of the stop bar 140, and the two second inclined surfaces 141 facilitate the stop bar 140 to adapt to the shape of the pressing block 410, so that the pressing block 410 can cooperate well with the stop bar 140.

[0043] In the embodiment, the pressing block 410 is trapezoidal, and two stop bars 140 form a trapezoidal groove near one end of the pressing block 410, so that the pressing block 410 can be adaptively inserted between the two stop bars 140 to respectively clamp the ends of the two waterproof strips 300. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0044] In the embodiment, fasteners are further included, and the junction box 400 is fastened to the track body 100 via the fasteners, with the fasteners fastening in the same direction as the length of the track groove 110. During assembly of the track socket, the pressing block 410 of the junction box 400 is inserted between the two stop bars 140 along the length of the track groove 110, so that the pressing block 410 gradually clamps the ends of the corresponding retaining ribs 310 of the waterproof strip 300 with the stop bars 140. The fasteners fastening in the same direction as the length of the track groove 110 facilitates maintaining the compression of the pressing block 410 of the junction box 400 against the retaining ribs 310 of the two waterproof strips 300, thereby preventing loosening of the junction box 400 and the compression of the pressing block 410 against the retaining ribs 310 of the waterproof strip 300.

[0045] Specifically, the fastener is a screw. The track body 100 is provided with a threaded hole, and the junction box 400 is provided with a through hole. The screw is inserted into the through hole and threadedly connected to the threaded hole, thereby locking the junction box 400 to the track body 100. It is conceivable that the fastener may also be a bolt and nut pair. By providing through holes in both the junction box 400 and the track body 100, the bolt and nut pair is inserted into the two through holes, thereby locking the junction box 400 to the track body 100.

[0046] It is understandable that, in other embodiments, the pressing block 410 may also be a V-shaped pressing block 410 , and an approximately V-shaped groove is formed between the ends of the corresponding two stop bars 140 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the waterproof strip 300 further includes a connecting plate portion 320 and a mating portion 330. The rib portion 310 and the mating portion 330 are respectively connected to the ends of the connecting plate portion 320. The mating portions 330 of the two waterproof strips 300 face each other, and the thickness of the mating portions 330 is greater than that of the connecting plate portion 320. The greater thickness of the mating portions 330 ensures better contact and sealing between the two waterproof strips 300 when they are closed together, thereby improving the waterproofing effect of the two waterproof strips 300.

[0048] Specifically, the thickness of the rib portion 310 is also greater than the thickness of the connecting plate portion 320 , which facilitates improving the structural strength of the waterproof strip 300 and increasing the service life of the waterproof strip 300 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the waterproof strip 300 is an elastic member. This allows the junction box 400 to clamp the ends of the waterproof strip 300, while maintaining good opening and closing performance. This allows the opening slot 120 to be opened and closed, resulting in a better user experience. Specifically, the waterproof strip 300 can be made of, for example, a rubber strip, a silicone strip, or other elastic plastic material.

[0050] It is understandable that in other embodiments, the waterproof strip 300 may also have other structures. For example, the waterproof strip 300 includes a hard strip portion and an elastic plate. The junction box 400 clamps the end of the hard strip portion of the waterproof strip 300, and the elastic plate is located in the open groove 120 area. The elastic plate can be connected to the hard strip portion through a spring.

[0051] In this embodiment, two junction boxes 400 are provided, one at each end of the track groove 110. The two junction boxes 400 facilitate the connection between the waterproof track socket and external wires, and the two junction boxes 400 can secure the two ends of the waterproof strip 300. Each junction box 400 clamps and secures one end of the waterproof strip 300 with the track body 100, further improving the clamping effect of the waterproof strip 300.

[0052] Specifically, the junction box 400 is provided with a neutral terminal, a live terminal and a ground terminal. The neutral terminal is connected to the neutral conductive strip 200 , and the live terminal is connected to the live conductive strip 200 .
