DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model will be described in detail below with the help of the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0032] Here, it needs to be explained that, in order to avoid the fact that the utility model is obscured by unnecessary details, only the structures and / or processing steps closely related to the scheme of the utility model are shown in the drawings, and other details not closely related to the utility model are omitted.
[0033] In addition, it also needs to be explained that the term "comprises", "includes" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or equipment including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, article or equipment.
[0034] The utility model provides a kind of lighting system, including track system 100 and light source assembly (not shown). Light source assembly is mechanically and electrically connected to track system 100.
[0035] As shown in Figures 1-2 , the track system 100 comprises at least two track segments 110 and at least one connecting assembly 120. The track segment 110 comprises a track housing 1101, and the connecting assembly 120 connects two adjacent track housings 1101. The track segment 110 comprises an elastic piece 1102 arranged on the track housing 1101, and the connecting assembly 120 comprises a connecting piece 1203 corresponding to the elastic piece 1102. The elastic piece 1102 and the connecting piece 1203 cooperate to achieve detachable connection between the track segments 110, facilitating quick assembly and disassembly of the track system 100 and improving flexibility and maintainability of the track system 100.
[0036] The length direction of the track segment 110 (i.e. the splicing direction of the two track segments 110) is set as the x direction, and the height direction of the track segment 110 is set as the y direction, and the x direction and the y direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0037] As shown in Figure 3 , the track housing 1101 comprises a connecting wall 1111 and side walls 1112 located on opposite sides of the connecting wall 1111. The connecting wall 1111 and the side walls 1112 on both sides form an installation groove 1113. The connecting assembly 120 comprises a base plate 1201 and side plates 1202 located on opposite sides of the base plate 1201. The connecting assembly 120 is inserted into the installation groove 1113, so that the base plate 1201 is connected with the connecting wall 1111, and the side plates 1202 are connected with the corresponding side walls 1112. At this time, the connecting assembly 120 is limited in the y direction in the track housing 1101, preventing it from shaking or shifting in the y direction in the track housing 1101, thereby enhancing the overall structural stability of the entire track system 100.
[0038] The track system 100 has a locked state and a disengaged state. In the locked state, the elastic piece 1102 cooperates with the connecting piece 1203 to connect the connecting assembly 120 with the corresponding track segment 110. In the disengaged state, the elastic piece 1102 is pressed to move relative to the connecting piece 1203 to disengage the connecting piece 1203 in the splicing direction of the track segment 110 and the connecting assembly 120, so as to disassemble the connecting assembly 120 and the corresponding track segment 110. The track system 100 can be converted between the locked state and the disengaged state through a simple pressing action, so that the user can easily complete the connection and disassembly of the track segment 110 without using complex tools or performing tedious operations.
[0039] Specifically, as shown in Figures 5-7As shown, the elastic member 1102 includes a fixed plate 1121 connected to the side wall 1112 and a free plate 1122 extending from the fixed plate 1121 towards the mounting slot 1113. The free plate 1122 is capable of elastically deforming relative to the fixed plate 1121. The connecting member 1203 is correspondingly provided on the side plate 1202 of the connecting assembly 120 and extends from the side plate 1202 towards the mounting slot 1113 above the free plate 1122. The free plate 1122 of the elastic member 1102 is designed in such a way that the connection between the connecting assembly 120 and the track housing 1101 is more convenient and fast, facilitating the insertion and removal of the connecting assembly 120, while ensuring the stability of the connection. The end of the free plate 1122 away from the fixed plate 1121 is provided with a first limiting portion 1125 protruding away from the connecting wall 1111. In this embodiment, the first limiting portion 1125 is a baffle provided at the end of the free plate 1122 facing the connecting assembly 120. The existence of the baffle makes the free plate 1122 form an L-shaped space 1127 towards the fixed plate 1121. That is, from the direction substantially perpendicular to the planes where the x-direction and the y-direction lie, the free plate 1122 has an L-shaped cross section under the limitation of the baffle (i.e. the first limiting portion 1125). On the other hand, the connecting member 1203 is correspondingly provided with a second limiting portion 1231. In this embodiment, the connecting member 1203 is a stop block formed on the side plate 1202 and extending towards the mounting slot 1113. Further, the second limiting portion 1231 is a limiting surface provided on the stop block (i.e. the connecting member 1203). When the elastic member 1102 and the connecting member 1203 are connected in place, the limiting surface faces the first limiting portion 1125.
[0040] In the locked state, i.e. when installed in place, the connecting member 1203 is located in the L-shaped space 1127 of the free plate 1122, and the baffle of the free plate 1122 abuts against the limiting surface of the connecting member 1203, thereby limiting the movement of the track housing 1101 in the direction away from the connecting assembly 120, so that a locking mechanism is formed between the free plate 1122 and the connecting member 1203, and the connecting assembly 120 is limited in the x-direction in the track housing 1101, finally realizing the connection of the two track segments 110.
[0041] In this embodiment, the connecting member 1203 is provided on the side plate 1202. In other embodiments, the connecting member 1203 can also be provided on the base plate 1201, and correspondingly, the first limiting portion 1125 protrudes towards the connecting wall 1111. When the two track segments 110 are connected, the first limiting portion 1125 and the second limiting portion 1231 are adapted to each other on the connecting wall 1111 of the track housing 1101.
[0042] Further, the fixed plate 1121 is provided with a first abutting surface 1124. The first abutting surface 1124 is located on the end surface of the fixed plate 1121 facing the connecting assembly 120 in the x direction. The connecting assembly 120 is provided with a second abutting surface 1204 at both ends in the x direction. In the locked state, that is, when the elastic member 1102 and the connecting member 1203 are connected in place by the abutting of the first limiting portion 1125 and the second limiting portion 1231, the first abutting surface 1124 and the second abutting surface 1204 abut, achieving precise positioning between the connecting assembly 120 and the rail shell 1101, while avoiding damage caused by excessive insertion of the connecting assembly 120.
[0043] Specifically, in the x direction, the first limiting portion 1125 and the first abutting surface 1124 have a first distance therebetween, and the second limiting portion 1231 and the second abutting surface 1204 have a second distance therebetween, and the first distance is greater than or equal to the second distance. That is, the connecting assembly 120 can smoothly extrude the elastic member 1102 when inserted into the mounting groove 1113, until the first limiting portion 1125 and the second limiting portion 1231 are adapted to each other, and the connecting member 1203 is just in the L-shaped space 1127.
[0044] The free plate 1122 is further provided with a first guide portion 1126 at the end away from the fixed plate 1121, and the first guide portion 1126 is arranged opposite to the first limiting portion 1125. The connecting member 1203 is further provided with a second guide portion 1232 arranged opposite to the second limiting portion 1231. The first guide portion 1126 and the second guide portion 1232 are adapted to each other, so that the connecting assembly 120 can be guided when inserted into the mounting groove 1113, thereby facilitating precise docking with the rail segment 110, simplifying the installation process, and reducing the risk of installation errors or damage caused by improper operation.
[0045] In the present embodiment, the first guide portion 1126 and the second guide portion 1232 are arranged obliquely. When the connecting assembly 120 is inserted into the mounting groove 1113, the first guide portion 1126 and the second guide portion 1232 cooperate with each other to achieve the automatic guiding and positioning function of the connecting assembly 120 during the insertion process. The connecting assembly 120 gradually extrudes the elastic member 1102 during the insertion process, until the first limiting portion 1125 and the second limiting portion 1231 cooperate with each other, and the rail system 100 is in the locked state. This precise guiding ensures accurate connection between the connecting assembly 120 and the rail segment 110. Of course, in other embodiments, only one of the first guide portion 1126 and the second guide portion 1232 can be arranged obliquely.
[0046] The elastic member 1102 further comprises an operation portion 1123 arranged on the free plate 1122. When the operation portion 1123 is touched, the elastic member 1102 is elastically deformed until the first limiting portion 1125 and the second limiting portion 1231 are separated from each other, so that the track system 100 is switched from the locked state to the separated state. When the track system 100 is in the separated state, the connecting assembly 120 and the track housing 1101 are separated from each other. Of course, when the two track segments 110 are connected, the operation portion 1123 can also be directly touched, so that the first limiting portion 1125 and the second limiting portion 1231 are matched with each other, thereby making the connection of the two track segments 110 more rapid.
[0047] Optionally, the connecting assembly 120 can be provided with one or more sets of combinations of the elastic member 1102 and the connecting member 1203. In an embodiment, only one set of combinations of the elastic member 1102 and the connecting member 1203 is provided, and the set comprises a pair of combinations of the elastic member 1102 and the connecting member 1203 arranged at two ends of the connecting assembly 120, respectively, and the pair of combinations of the elastic member 1102 and the connecting member 1203 can be arranged on the same side or opposite sides. When arranged on opposite sides, in order to make the track connection more stable, the pair of combinations of the elastic member 1102 and the connecting member 1203 can be arranged diagonally on opposite sides. In another embodiment, two sets of combinations of the elastic member 1102 and the connecting member 1203 can be preferably provided, that is, in this embodiment, one set is arranged at each end of the connecting assembly 120, and each set comprises a pair of combinations of the elastic member 1102 and the connecting member 1203 arranged on two sides of the end, respectively.
[0048] When the two track segments 110 are disassembled, the operation portion 1123 is first touched, so that the free plate 1122 of the elastic member 1102 is elastically deformed, the end of the free plate 1122 moves towards the connecting wall 1111, until the connecting member 1203 is separated from the L-shaped space 1127, the projections of the first limiting portion 1125 and the second limiting portion 1231 in the x direction have no overlap, and the track system 100 is switched from the locked state to the separated state, so that the two track segments 110 can be pulled apart, thereby realizing the separation of the track segments 110.
[0049] When connecting two track sections 110, first align one end of the connecting assembly 120 with the mounting slot 1113 of one of the track housings 1101 and insert it, the second guide portion 1232 of the connecting piece 1203 contacts the first guide portion 1126 of the elastic piece 1102, continue to push the connecting assembly 120, so that the connecting piece 1203 extrudes the elastic piece 1102, the free plate 1122 moves towards the connecting wall 1111, until the connecting piece 1203 is in the L-shaped space 1127, the free plate 1122 rebounds, at this time, the first abutting surface 1124 and the second abutting surface 1204 abut, the second limiting portion 1231 and the corresponding first limiting portion 1125 at least partially overlap in the x direction, indicating that the connecting assembly 120 is connected to the track housing 1101 on this side. Then, the other end of the connecting assembly 120 is connected to the other track housing 1101 by the same method, so that the two track sections 110 are limited in the x direction, the two track sections 110 are connected in place, and the track system 100 is in a locked state.
[0050] It can be understood that there is a certain assembly gap between the first limiting portion 1125 and the second limiting portion 1231, and further, there is an assembly gap between the two track sections 110, which is within the allowable range.
[0051] The track system 100 further comprises a conductive strip 130 in the mounting slot 1113. The conductive strip 130 stably supplies power to the light source assembly. Since the related content of the conductive strip 130 has been disclosed in the prior art, in order to avoid redundancy, this embodiment will not be described again.
[0052] In summary, the track system 100 of the embodiment of the present application quickly switches between the locked state and the disengaged state through the cooperation of the elastic piece 1102 and the connecting piece 1203, and easily realizes the connection and disassembly of the two track sections 110.
[0053] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and not to limit it. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
