Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of track connectors, and in particular relates to a track connector for a track light. Background Art

[0002] Track connectors are a crucial component in track lighting systems. They connect the track bars of track lights and ensure stable and safe operation of the fixtures. The primary function of a track connector is to connect multiple track bars together to form a continuous track system.

[0003] Application No. 202021869834.3 discloses a track light connection mechanism, “The connection assembly includes a straight-line connection block and a cross-shaped connection block, and the lighting assembly includes a radiation lamp and a linear lamp. Through this embodiment, the straight-line connection block and the cross-shaped connection block can be used to connect the track bars in an appropriate arrangement. The track light is provided with a variety of lighting assemblies to ensure the practicality of the track light.” In the above, the track connection mechanism is arranged in a cross shape, so that the connection angle of the track is 90 degrees or 180 degrees. This design limits the installation direction and position of the lamp, making it lack flexibility when facing irregular building structures or occasions requiring specific angles. For example, in sloping ceilings, curved walls or irregular spaces, fixed-angle connectors cannot adapt to these complex building structures. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a track connector for track lights to solve the problem that the existing track connectors proposed in the above background technology are usually fixed at angles such as 90 degrees or 180 degrees, which makes them lack flexibility when facing irregular building structures or occasions requiring specific angles.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a track connector for a track light, comprising:

[0006] There are two steering components, and a connecting column is provided between the two steering components. The two steering components are connected up and down through the connecting column. The steering component includes a mounting column, a circular ring plate and two mounting plates. A clamping block is installed on the outer wall of the mounting column. The circular ring plate is tightly sleeved on the outside of the mounting column. The two mounting plates are firmly mounted on the upper and lower ends of the mounting column respectively. A rolling component is provided between the circular ring plate and the mounting plate, a movable component is provided between the circular ring plate and the clamping block, and a positioning component is provided between the circular ring plate and the clamping block.

[0007] A height adjustment component, the height adjustment component is connected to the direction adjustment component, and the height adjustment component is installed on the outer wall of the circular ring plate;

[0008] A conductive component is connected to the direction adjustment component through the height adjustment component.

[0009] Preferably, the blocks are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the mounting post in a "gear" shape, and a slot is naturally formed between two adjacent blocks;

[0010] The movable assembly includes a hollow cylinder, a movable cylinder, a movable block and a first spring. The hollow cylinder is mounted on the inner wall of the circular plate. The movable cylinder is located on one side of the hollow cylinder, and a portion of the movable cylinder is located inside the hollow cylinder. The movable block is mounted on one end of the movable cylinder located outside the hollow cylinder. The movable block is adapted to the card slot. The first spring is connected between the movable cylinder and the hollow cylinder.

[0011] The positioning assembly includes a threaded hole, a threaded rod and a through slot. The threaded hole is provided on the annular plate, and the threaded rod is screwed through the threaded hole. The through slots are provided on the hollow cylinder, the movable cylinder and the movable block, respectively, and the threaded rod passes through the through slots.

[0012] The rolling assembly includes a ball groove and a ball. The ball groove is opened on the end surface of the mounting plate close to the annular plate. The ball is installed in the ball groove and contacts the end surface of the annular plate close to the mounting plate.

[0013] Through the above technical solution:

[0014] During use, rotating the circular plate adjusts the direction of the height adjustment assembly and the conductive assembly. The circular plate drives the hollow cylinder, movable cylinder, and movable block to rotate together. At this point, the first spring pushes the movable cylinder to telescope within the hollow cylinder, while the movable block moves within the slot, limiting the rotation of the circular plate. This effectively prevents the circular plate from overrotating, which could cause mechanical failure or damage. Before rotating the circular plate, tighten the threaded rod until it no longer blocks the rotation of the circular plate. After adjusting the direction, tighten the rod again. The interaction between the threaded rod and the threaded hole allows the rod to move within the through slot until it enters the slot, positioning the circular plate and preventing further rotation, thereby ensuring the stability of the equipment. As the circular plate rotates, it drives the balls in the ball grooves, converting the sliding friction between the mounting plate and the circular plate into rolling friction, reducing friction and achieving a labor-saving effect. Adjusting the direction of the conductive assembly allows for a flexible angular difference between the two conductive components. Compared to traditional fixed-angle track light connectors, free-angle connectors offer greater flexibility and functionality. Free-angle options include horizontal, vertical, and tilted angles. This design adapts to complex architectural structures, such as sloped, curved, or irregularly shaped ceilings and walls. The track's angle and direction can be adjusted to meet specific needs, achieving multi-directional and multi-angle lighting effects.

[0015] The height adjustment component includes a fixing plate and a connecting block, an installation groove is provided on the fixing plate, and limiting grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the installation groove. The limiting grooves are distributed in a "wave" shape on the inner wall of the installation groove. The connecting block is located in the installation groove, and spring grooves are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the connecting block. Limiting blocks are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the connecting block, a second spring is connected between the spring groove and the limiting block, and the limiting block is adapted to the limiting groove.

[0016] Preferably, the conductive component includes a conductive plate and a conductive sheet, one end of the conductive plate is connected to the connecting block, and the conductive sheet is installed on the conductive plate. The main function of the conductive plate and the conductive sheet is to serve as the main channel for current, transmitting current from the power supply to the lamp or other equipment. They are usually connected to the power line to ensure that the current can pass through the track connector smoothly.

[0017] Through the above technical solution:

[0018] During use, by pressing or lifting the conductive component, the conductive component can be driven to move the connecting block within the installation slot, thereby causing the limit blocks on both sides of the connecting block to displace synchronously within the limit slot. Because the second spring can apply elastic force to the limit block, there is a certain resistance when the limit block enters and exits the "wave" shaped limit slot. In this way, when the conductive component is released, the conductive component will not easily slide up and down, thereby improving the stability of the equipment. The height of the conductive component can also be adjusted. After the height of the conductive component is adjusted, a height difference can be formed between the conductive components on both sides, thereby meeting the connection requirements of the tracks at different heights at both ends. This can ensure stable current transmission and normal operation of the lamp, while eliminating the need for installers to use additional brackets or gaskets to compensate for the height difference, thereby reducing the complexity and time cost of installation and improving the flexibility, safety, space utilization and aesthetics of installation.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0020] (1) The utility model realizes the adjustment of the direction of the conductive component by setting a circular ring plate, a movable block and a threaded rod. When in use, the circular ring plate is rotated, and the movable cylinder and the movable block can effectively prevent the circular ring plate from excessive rotation. The threaded rod can position the circular ring plate and adjust the direction of the conductive component, and can form a free angle difference between the conductive components on both sides. Compared with the traditional fixed-angle track light connector, the connector with free angle adjustment has greater flexibility and functionality.

[0021] (2) The utility model realizes the adjustment of the height of the conductive component by setting a limit block, a connecting block and a limit block. When in use, by pressing or lifting the conductive component, the limit blocks on both sides of the connecting block are synchronously displaced in the limit groove. There is a certain resistance when the limit block enters and exits the limit groove, so that the conductive component will not slide up and down easily after adjustment. After the height of the conductive component is adjusted, a height difference can be formed between the conductive components on both sides, thereby meeting the connection requirements of the two end tracks at different heights.

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a track connector for a track light, comprising:

[0031] There are two steering components. A connecting column 14 is provided between the two steering components. The two steering components are connected up and down through the connecting column 14. The steering component includes a mounting column 1, a circular ring plate 2 and two mounting plates 3. A clamping block 4 is installed on the outer wall of the mounting column 1. The circular ring plate 2 is tightly sleeved on the outside of the mounting column 1. The two mounting plates 3 are firmly mounted on the upper and lower ends of the mounting column 1, respectively. A rolling component is provided between the circular ring plate 2 and the mounting plate 3, a movable component is provided between the circular ring plate 2 and the clamping block 4, and a positioning component is provided between the circular ring plate 2 and the clamping block 4.

[0032] A height adjustment component is connected to the direction adjustment component and is installed on the outer wall of the annular plate 2;

[0033] The conductive component is connected to the direction adjustment component through the height adjustment component.

[0034] Furthermore, the blocks 4 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the mounting column 1 in a "gear" shape, and a slot is naturally formed between two adjacent blocks 4;

[0035] The movable assembly includes a hollow cylinder 5, a movable cylinder 6, a movable block 7 and a first spring 8. The hollow cylinder 5 is mounted on the inner wall of the annular plate 2. The movable cylinder 6 is located on one side of the hollow cylinder 5, and a portion of the movable cylinder 6 is located inside the hollow cylinder 5. The movable block 7 is mounted on one end of the movable cylinder 6 located outside the hollow cylinder 5. The movable block 7 is adapted to the card slot. The first spring 8 is connected between the movable cylinder 6 and the hollow cylinder 5.

[0036] The positioning assembly includes a threaded hole 9, a threaded rod 10 and a through slot 11. The threaded hole 9 is provided on the annular plate 2. The threaded rod 10 is screwed through the threaded hole 9. The through slots 11 are provided on the hollow cylinder 5, the movable cylinder 6 and the movable block 7 respectively. The threaded rod 10 passes through the through slots 11.

[0037] The rolling assembly includes a ball groove 12 and a ball 13. The ball groove 12 is opened on the end surface of the mounting plate 3 close to the annular plate 2. The ball 13 is installed in the ball groove 12 and contacts the end surface of the annular plate 2 close to the mounting plate 3.

[0038] Through the above technical solution:

[0039] During use, the direction of the height adjustment component and the conductive component can be adjusted by rotating the circular plate 2. The circular plate 2 will drive the hollow cylinder 5, the movable cylinder 6 and the movable block 7 to rotate together. At this time, the first spring 8 pushes the movable cylinder 6 to perform telescopic movement in the hollow cylinder 5, and the movable block 7 moves in the card slot to limit the rotation of the circular plate 2. This can effectively prevent the circular plate 2 from rotating excessively and avoid mechanical failure or damage caused by excessive rotation. Before rotating the circular plate 2, screw the threaded rod 10 to move the threaded rod 10 until it does not hinder the rotation of the circular plate 2. After the direction adjustment is completed, screw the threaded rod 10 again. With the help of the interaction between the threaded rod 10 and the threaded hole 9, the threaded rod 10 is moved in the through groove 11 until the threaded rod 10 enters the card slot to position the circular plate 2 and prevent the circular plate 2 from continuing to rotate to ensure the stability of the equipment. When the circular plate 2 rotates, it drives the balls 13 to roll in the ball groove 12, thereby converting the sliding friction between the mounting plate 3 and the circular plate 2 into rolling friction, reducing the friction and achieving a labor-saving effect. By adjusting the direction of the conductive component, a free angle difference can be formed between the conductive components on both sides. Compared with traditional fixed-angle track light connectors, connectors with free angle adjustment have greater flexibility and functionality. Free angles include horizontal, vertical and tilted angles. Such a design can adapt to various complex architectural structures, such as inclined, curved or irregularly shaped ceilings and walls. The angle and direction of the track can be adjusted according to actual needs to achieve multi-directional and multi-angle lighting effects.

[0040] See also Figures 1-6 As shown, the height adjustment component includes a fixed plate 15 and a connecting block 18. A mounting groove 16 is provided on the fixed plate 15. Limit grooves 17 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the mounting groove 16. The limit grooves 17 are distributed in a "wave" shape on the inner wall of the mounting groove 16. The connecting block 18 is located in the mounting groove 16. Spring grooves 19 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the connecting block 18. Limit blocks 20 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the connecting block 18. A second spring 21 is connected between the spring groove 19 and the limit block 20, and the limit block 20 is adapted to the limit groove 17.

[0041] Furthermore, the conductive component includes a conductive plate 22 and a conductive sheet 23. One end of the conductive plate 22 is connected to the connecting block 18, and the conductive sheet 23 is installed on the conductive plate 22. The main function of the conductive plate 22 and the conductive sheet 23 is to serve as the main channel for current, transmitting current from the power supply to lamps or other equipment. They are usually connected to the power line to ensure that the current can pass through the track connector smoothly.

[0042] Through the above technical solution:

[0043] During use, pressing or lifting the conductive assembly causes the connecting block 18 to move within the mounting slot 16, thereby causing the stop blocks 20 on either side of the connecting block 18 to synchronously shift within the stop slot 17. Because the second spring 21 applies elastic force to the stop blocks 20, there is a certain amount of resistance when the stop blocks 20 enter and exit the "wave-shaped" stop slot 17. This prevents the conductive assembly from sliding up or down easily after being released, thereby improving the stability of the device. The height of the conductive assembly can also be adjusted. After adjusting the height of the conductive assembly, a height difference can be formed between the two conductive assemblies, thereby meeting the connection requirements of the rails at different heights at both ends. This ensures stable current transmission and the normal operation of the lamp. It also eliminates the need for installers to use additional brackets or spacers to compensate for the height difference, thereby reducing installation complexity and time costs, and improving installation flexibility, safety, space utilization, and aesthetics.

[0044] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
