Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to lighting fixtures, specifically a track light. Background Technology

[0002] Track lights generally consist of a track body and lighting fixtures. The lighting fixtures can slide on the track body to change their position according to actual usage needs, thus having a wide range of applications.

[0003] In existing technology, the track body has a roughly U-shaped cross-section, and the track body is generally made of aluminum and fixed to the ceiling. This type of track light has at least the following drawbacks:

[0004] ① Because the track body is made of aluminum, the amount of metal used in the track body is large, resulting in a high production cost for track lights; for track lights with a mature development, product homogenization is quite serious, making it difficult to achieve a breakthrough in product competitiveness.

[0005] ② The aluminum track body is heavy, and its installation and reliability requirements are very high when suspended from the ceiling;

[0006] ③ Once the track body is installed on the ceiling, it is generally not easy to remove. This results in the track body being large on the ceiling when the track lights are not in use, which damages the overall integrity and aesthetics of the interior decoration.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to improve and optimize the existing track lights. Utility Model Content

[0008] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the problems of the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides a track light with a simple structure and low implementation cost.

[0009] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0010] A track light, comprising:

[0011] Metal mounting strips for wall mounting;

[0012] A plastic track is detachably fixed to the metal fixing strip via a quick-release structure. The plastic track is provided with a conductive strip and a sliding groove.

[0013] The lamp body is slidably mounted on the slide groove and is electrically connected to the conductive strip.

[0014] Optionally, the metal fixing strip includes a base plate and a first buckle disposed on the base plate. The plastic track is provided with a buckle groove, and the first buckle cooperates with the buckle groove. The first buckle and the buckle groove form the quick-install structure.

[0015] Optionally, the longitudinal section of the first inverted buckle is arrow-shaped.

[0016] Optionally, the buckle groove is open at one or both ends along its length, so that the buckle groove can be inserted into the first buckle along its length to achieve a fit.

[0017] Optionally, the buckle groove is disposed on the back of the plastic track and extends along the length of the plastic track, and the slide groove is disposed on the front of the plastic track. When force is applied so that the slide groove wall comes close together, the opening of the buckle groove opens.

[0018] Optionally, the lamp body is provided with a second buckle, which is fastened into the slide groove.

[0019] Optionally, one or both ends of the slide groove are open, so that the second buckle can be inserted into the slide groove along its length.

[0020] Optionally, there are multiple second buckles, at least two of which are metal parts. The conductive strip is disposed in the groove, and the second buckles of at least two metal parts abut against the conductive strip to achieve electrical connection.

[0021] Optionally, the second buckle is a plastic or metal part, and the lamp body is provided with conductive contacts, which are electrically connected to the conductive strip.

[0022] Optionally, the lamp body can be a spotlight, downlight, or downlight-spotlight.

[0023] This utility model has at least one of the following beneficial effects: In this embodiment, a metal fixing strip for wall mounting is provided, and a plastic track is detachably fixed to the metal fixing strip via a quick-release structure. The plastic track is provided with a conductive strip and a groove, and the lamp body is slidably mounted on the groove. The lamp body is electrically connected to the conductive strip. This design abandons the integrated track body structure of existing technologies, cleverly dividing the track body into two parts: a metal fixing strip and a plastic track. This significantly reduces the use of metal materials, thus lowering the manufacturing cost of the track light. Furthermore, the lightweight plastic track greatly reduces the overall weight of the track light, making it more suitable for track lighting applications. Installation requirements are reduced; furthermore, when track lighting is not needed, the plastic track can be removed from the metal mounting strip, leaving only the metal mounting strip on the wall. Compared to existing U-shaped aluminum tracks that are difficult to remove from the wall, the metal mounting strip occupies less space. Moreover, the metal mounting strip design only needs to meet the requirement of quick installation of the plastic track, without the need for a sliding groove design, allowing for more freedom and versatility in design. The metal mounting strip can exist as a decorative element on the ceiling; alternatively, the plastic track can remain on the metal mounting strip, easily designed as a colored strip, allowing colored plastic tracks to be left on the ceiling as decorative strips. The track light structure described in this embodiment has the advantages of simple structure and low implementation cost. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described below can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0031] The following provides many different implementation methods or examples for realizing the structure of this utility model.

[0032] See Figures 1-2 An embodiment of this utility model of a track light includes a metal fixing strip 1, which can be made of aluminum or stainless steel and can be installed on a wall with screws; it also includes a plastic track 2, which is detachably fixed to the metal fixing strip 1 by a quick-release structure, and the plastic track 2 is provided with a conductive strip 21 and a groove 22; and a lamp body 3, which can be a downlight, spotlight or downlight, etc., and the lamp body 3 is slidably installed on the groove 22, and the lamp body 3 is electrically connected to the conductive strip 21.

[0033] See details Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the metal fixing strip 1 includes a base plate 11 and a first buckle 12 disposed on the base plate 11. The plastic track 2 is provided with a buckle groove 23. The first buckle 12 cooperates with the buckle groove 23, and the first buckle 12 and the buckle groove 23 form the quick-installation structure. During installation, it is only necessary to align the buckle groove 23 and the first buckle 12 on the plastic track 2 and apply force to complete the quick installation of the plastic track 2 on the metal fixing strip 1.

[0034] See details Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the longitudinal section of the first buckle 12 is arrow-shaped. Correspondingly, the cross-section of the buckle groove 23 is also designed to be arrow-shaped. This structure is beneficial to the uniform distribution of force between the plastic track 2 and the metal fixing strip 1, and improves the stability of the plastic track 2 after it is installed on the metal fixing strip 1.

[0035] See details Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the buckle groove 23 is open at one or both ends along its length, allowing the buckle groove 23 to be inserted into the first buckle 12 along its length to achieve a fit. This makes the assembly and disassembly of the buckle groove 23 and the first buckle 12 easier.

[0036] In some installation scenarios, there is insufficient space for the retaining groove 23 to be pulled away from the metal fixing strip 1 along the length of the plastic track 2 (for example, the indoor ceiling length is 5 meters, and the metal fixing strip 1 and plastic track 2 are 4 meters). For this purpose, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the buckle groove 23 is disposed on the back of the plastic track 2 and extends along the length of the plastic track 2, and the sliding groove 22 is disposed on the front of the plastic track 2. When force is applied so that the groove wall of the sliding groove 22 approaches, the opening of the buckle groove 23 opens. Specifically, the user can pinch the two side walls of the plastic track 2 by hand. The presence of the sliding groove 22 allows the two side walls of the plastic track 2 to deform. At this time, the opening of the buckle groove 23 will open, thus making it easier for the buckle groove 23 to detach downward from the first buckle 12, greatly facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the plastic track 2 on the metal fixing strip 1.

[0037] See details Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a second buckle 31 is provided on the lamp body 3, and the second buckle 31 is fastened into the slide groove 22. The second buckle 31 enables the lamp body 3 to slide within the slide groove 22, resulting in a simple structure, convenient installation, and reliable connection. In some embodiments of this utility model, one or both ends of the slide groove 22 are open, allowing the second buckle 31 to be inserted into the slide groove 22 along its length, thereby simplifying the assembly and disassembly of the lamp body 3 on the slide groove 22.

[0038] See details Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, there are multiple second inverted buckles 31, at least two of which are metal parts. The conductive strip 21 is disposed in the groove 22, and the at least two metal second inverted buckles 31 abut against the conductive strip 21 to achieve electrical connection. This embodiment cleverly utilizes the metallic properties of the second inverted buckles to achieve electrical connection, so that the second inverted buckle 31 has both inverted buckle connection function and electrical connection function, and no additional electrical connection contact points are required on the lamp body 3. Figure 3 In the middle, all the second buckles 31 can be set as metal parts, or two of them can be set as metal parts and the other two as plastic parts.

[0039] It is understood that in some other embodiments of this utility model, the second buckle 31 is a plastic or metal part, and the lamp body 3 is provided with conductive contacts (not shown in the drawing), and the conductive contacts are electrically connected to the conductive strip 21.

[0040] Understandably, the second inverted 31 can be made as an integral part of the lamp body or as a separate part.

[0041] In summary, the structural analysis shows that by setting a metal fixing strip 1 for wall mounting, the plastic track 2 is detachably fixed to the metal fixing strip 1 via a quick-release structure. The plastic track 2 is equipped with a conductive strip 21 and a groove 22. The lamp body 3 is slidably mounted on the groove 22, and the lamp body 3 is electrically connected to the conductive strip 21. This design abandons the integrated track body structure of existing technologies, cleverly dividing the track body into two parts: the metal fixing strip 1 and the plastic track 2. This significantly reduces the use of metal materials, thus lowering the manufacturing cost of the track light. Furthermore, the lightweight plastic track 2 greatly reduces the overall weight of the track light, making installation easier. The cost can be reduced; furthermore, when track lighting is not needed, the plastic track 2 can be removed from the metal fixing strip 1, leaving only the metal fixing strip 1 on the wall. Compared to existing U-shaped aluminum tracks that are difficult to remove from the wall, the metal fixing strip 1 occupies less space. Moreover, the design of the metal fixing strip 1 only needs to meet the requirement of quick installation of the plastic track, without the need for a sliding groove design, allowing for more freedom and versatility in the design of the metal fixing strip 1. The metal fixing strip 1 can exist as a decorative element on the ceiling; alternatively, the plastic track can remain on the metal fixing strip, and the plastic track can easily be designed as a colored strip, allowing colored plastic tracks to be left on the ceiling as decorative strips. The track light structure described in this embodiment of the utility model has the advantages of simple structure and low implementation cost.

[0042] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
