Detailed Implementation

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a track with lighting function for use in the compartment of a van includes a track body 10 and a light source 20.

[0026] The light source includes a light-emitting element and a connector 30. The light-emitting element is disposed on the surface of the track body. The light-emitting element can be a normal light-emitting lamp or an ultraviolet disinfection lamp. The ultraviolet disinfection lamp can be a light strip, or the lamp can be a light strip, a swivel lamp, or other existing lamp structures. When using different types of lamp structures, the installation method of the lamp on the track body is different. For example, when using a light bulb, a swivel interface needs to be set on the track body. However, such a setting may increase the number of additional devices and reduce the safety performance of the lamp. Therefore, using a near-flat light strip 21 as the light source is the safest option.

[0027] The track body includes a track slab 11, track grooves 12, and sliding grooves 13. The sliding grooves extend through the track slab along its length. The track grooves are distributed on the surface of the track slab and communicate with the sliding grooves. The track slab is fixed to the inner wall of the van body. Connectors are located on both sides of the track slab. Several track grooves are evenly distributed on the surface of the track slab.

[0028] The track differs from existing tracks in that it features light troughs 14. These troughs are recessed inwards along the upper surface of the track slab along its length, with LED strips embedded within them. The trough design is tailored to the thickness of the LED strip, and typically, LED strip lights are used. One, two, or more light troughs are installed on the track slab, depending on the need for LED strip installation. Typically, the light troughs are symmetrically positioned on both sides of the sliding groove. Each light trough can accommodate one light source strip and one disinfection strip. When the disinfection strip is in use, it remains off when someone is present; the specific on / off settings for the strip are configured accordingly.

[0029] The light strip has connectors at both ends for fixing it. The connectors have different structures depending on the installation location of the light strip; for example, they can be installed by directly drilling holes in the track body, or by using a binding structure to fix both ends of the light strip. In this technical solution, while ensuring the secure installation of the light strip, it is also necessary to meet aesthetic requirements. Therefore, the connector includes a sealing body 31, a sealing head 32, and a wire hole 33. The sealing head is located on the front side of the sealing body, and the wire hole is located on the surface of the sealing body. The wire hole corresponds to the light strip, and the light strip passes through the wire hole. The sealing head is inserted into the track groove. The bottom of the connector is a spatial structure, and a circuit board 22 for controlling the light strip is located at the bottom of the connector.

[0030] To protect the wire hole, a protective cover 34 can be installed on the outside of the sealing body. The protective cover is connected to the sealing body by a snap-fit ​​method.

[0031] To improve the stability of connector installation, protrusions 35 can be provided on both sides of the sealing head. The protrusions press against the track groove to increase friction.

[0032] Furthermore, to improve the installability of the light strip, a slot is provided on the track plate, and the light source also includes a protective plate, which is snapped into the slot and covers the top of the light strip.

[0033] Specifically, the protective panel includes a transparent panel and clips. The clips are located below the transparent panel and are engaged in the slots. While allowing light to pass through, the transparent panel refracts the light source to prevent strong light stimulation in the dark.

[0034] Furthermore, the light source is connected to the vehicle's power supply system, and the light source also includes a switch that controls the opening and closing of the light strip.

[0035] To improve the ease of use of the light source, a motion-activated switch can be used. When the motion-activated switch detects a human signal, it turns on the light strip.

[0036] Mechanical switches can also be used. These switches are connected to the doors of the van. When the doors are opened, the mechanical switches are activated, and the light strip turns on.

[0037] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the structural concept and features of this utility model, intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made based on the substance of the content of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
