[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is described in detail below by combining with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0045] Referring to Figures 1 to 15 The utility model discloses a track system, including track module 100 and the load device (not shown) assembled to track module 100. Load device includes but is not limited to lamps and lanterns, sensor, power supply etc. Track module 100 includes at least two track sections 10 and at least one electric connector group 20. Electric connector group 20 can realize the mechanical and electrical connection between the two adjacent track sections 10, and then make the load device assembled to the track section 10 power on. Users can set multiple track sections 10 according to demand, and splice multiple track sections 10 through electric connector group 20, so that the layout of track system can be reasonably planned according to the size of space. And, the splicing shape of multiple track sections 10 can be flexibly designed according to the installation environment. For example, linear, rectangular, square, etc.

[0046] Each track section 10 includes a mechanical guide rail 11 and a power rail 12 located in the mechanical guide rail 11. Each mechanical guide rail 11 is provided with an assembly groove 113 for installing the power rail 12. The load device is installed on the mechanical guide rail 11 and electrically connected with the power rail 12. Since the power rail 12 is arranged in the mechanical guide rail 11, the length direction, width direction and height direction of the two are the same. For ease of description, the length direction of the mechanical guide rail 11 is defined as the first direction, and the height direction is defined as the second direction. The width direction is the third direction. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0047] As Figure 3 The mechanical guide rail 11 is used to be installed on the wall or ceiling of a building, generally made of metal. The mechanical guide rail 11 includes a bottom wall 111 and two side walls 112 arranged on both sides of the bottom wall 111 along the length direction. The assembly groove 113 is formed between the bottom wall 111 and the side wall 112. In this embodiment, the assembly groove 113 is approximately U-shaped. In this way, the track as a whole is strip-shaped, which is more convenient to hold and install. The assembly groove 113 has a mounting opening facing downward. The power rail 12 is installed into the assembly groove 113 of the mechanical guide rail 11 from the mounting opening. Further, the two side walls 112 of the mechanical guide rail 11 have an abutting protrusion 114 protruding into the assembly groove 113 at the end close to the bottom wall 111, which is used to fix and connect the power rail 12, so that the power rail 12 can be installed into the assembly groove 113 of the mechanical guide rail 11 without tools.

[0048] As Figure 4As shown, the power rail 12 includes a carrier 121 having a first side and a second side. The first side and the second side are oppositely arranged, and the first side is arranged towards the bottom wall 111, and the second side is arranged away from the mechanical rail 11 and towards the mounting opening. The carrier 121 is provided with abutting portions 124 for clamping with the abutting protrusions 114 of the mechanical rail 11, so as to fix the power rail 12 into the assembly groove 113 of the mechanical rail 11. When the two abutting portions 124 are clamped onto the two abutting protrusions 114, the boss 125 protruding on the first side abuts against the bottom wall 111, so as to install the power rail 12 onto the mechanical rail 11 in a tool-free manner. In other embodiments, the power rail 12 can also be installed onto the mechanical rail 11 in other manners. For example, screws or welding, etc., which are not limited by the present application.

[0049] The carrier 121 is provided with a plurality of profiles 122 protruding on the second side and a plurality of electric conductors 123 arranged on the profiles 122. Specifically, the plurality of profiles 122 are arranged on the second side and extend away from the first side. Among them, the carrier 121 and the profiles 122 are both made of insulating material, for example, plastic. The electric conductors 123 are made of conductive metal material, for example, copper or copper alloy. In the present embodiment, the carrier 121, the profiles 122 and the electric conductors 123 all extend in the first direction. The carrier 121, the profiles 122 and the electric conductors 123 are integrally injection molded or extruded. In this way, the process is reduced and the cost is lowered.

[0050] In the present embodiment, the power rail 12 is arranged in a comb shape as a whole. The profiles 122 are arranged at intervals along the third direction. In the third direction, a gap is formed between two adjacent profiles 122. The side of the profile 122 facing the gap is provided with a groove 1221 for accommodating the electric conductor 123. A plurality of electric conductors 123 are arranged in the corresponding grooves 1221, respectively, so as to take power on the side in the gap. The profile 122 is provided with at least one groove 1221. The groove 1221 is configured on the side of each profile 122. The groove 1221 communicates with the gap. The grooves 1221 on the two adjacent profiles 122 facing the same gap are staggered with each other. The electric conductor 123 is accommodated in the groove 1221 and is at least exposed to the gap, so as to realize electrical connection with the electric connector set 20 or the load device.

[0051] In the embodiment, each profile 122 is provided with two grooves 1221 having opposite opening directions and height difference. That is, the two grooves 1221 having opposite opening directions are staggered with each other in the second direction. One of the two grooves 1221 opens towards the gap, and the other groove opens away from the gap. The two grooves 1221 on the adjacent profiles 122 and having the same distance from the carrier 121 have the same opening direction. The electrical conductor 123 is arranged in the groove 1221. Therefore, the connecting line between the electrical conductors 123 having the same distance from the carrier 121 is a straight line, and the situation of disordered circuit can be avoided. In the embodiment, the electrical conductors 123 are arranged in two rows. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the electrical conductors 123 can be arranged in one row or multiple rows according to specific requirements, and a single groove 1221 or multiple grooves 1221 communicating with the gap for mounting the electrical conductor 123 are arranged on each profile 122, which is not limited.

[0052] As shown in Figure 6 Each electrical connector group 20 includes two connectors connected in cooperation, including a first connector 21 and a second connector 22. The first connector 21 and the second connector 22 are arranged on the adjacent two track segments 10, respectively, and are electrically connected to the corresponding power rail 12 and the electrical conductor 123. The utility model can realize the mechanical and electrical connection between the adjacent two track segments 10 through the two connectors, which is simple and convenient to operate. Specifically, the first connector 21 is pivotally connected to one of the track segments 10, and the second connector 22 is fixedly installed on the adjacent track segment 10. And the first connector 21 is configured to be mechanically connected or separated from the second connector 22 along the second direction perpendicular to the first direction in the state that the adjacent two track segments 10 are butted along the first direction, so as to mechanically and electrically connect or isolate the adjacent two track segments 10. By arranging the pivotable first connector 21 and the fixedly installed second connector 22, the electrical connection or isolation between the multiple track segments 10 can be quickly realized, and the installation and disassembly efficiency of the track module 100 can be improved.

[0053] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, in the present embodiment, the track module 100 further comprises a connecting plate 30 connected between two adjacent track sections 10. The connecting plate 30 is protrudingly arranged at one end of one of the track sections 10, and the first connector 21 is mounted on the connecting plate 30 and can rotate relative to the connecting plate 30 to be inserted into the second connector 22 of the adjacent track section 10. The connecting plate 30 is located between the mechanical guide rail 11 and the power guide rail 12, and the power guide rail 12 extends to the connecting plate 30. The first connector 21 is protrudingly arranged on the corresponding mechanical guide rail 11 through the connecting plate 30, and the second connector 22 is recessively arranged on the corresponding mechanical guide rail 11, so as to reserve space for the connecting plate 30 to be inserted, and then the adjacent mechanical guide rails 11 can be inserted through the connecting plate 30 to realize the insertion of the two adjacent track sections 10 in the first direction. That is, the connecting plate 30 has the same shape as the mechanical guide rail 11, and can be inserted into the mechanical guide rail 11 from the longitudinal direction of the mechanical guide rail 11, so as to realize the mechanical connection of the two track sections 10.

[0054] The connecting plate 30 comprises a bottom plate 31 and two side plates 32 arranged on both sides of the bottom plate 31. The bottom plate 31 abuts against the bottom wall 111 of the mechanical guide rail 11, and the end of the bottom plate 31 away from the first connector 21 abuts against the boss 125 on the first side surface of the carrier 121. The two side plates 32 are provided with abutting grooves 33 at positions close to the abutting protrusions 114 of the mechanical guide rail 11, so as to match the side walls 112 of the mechanical guide rail 11. Preferably, the ends of the two side walls 112 of the mechanical guide rail 11 away from the bottom wall 111 are bent into the assembly groove 113 to form a clamping groove 115. The ends of the two side plates 32 are clamped in the clamping groove 115 of the mechanical guide rail 11. By abutting the bottom plate 31 against the bottom wall 111 and the ends of the side plates 32 against the clamping groove 115, the connecting plate 30 is limited and clamped with the mechanical guide rail 11 in the second direction

[0055] As Figures 7 to 9As shown, the first connector 21 includes two electric connecting parts, one of which is used to be inserted into the corresponding power rail 12 and electrically contact with the corresponding electric conductor 123, and the other is used to electrically connect with the corresponding electric connecting part of the second connector 22. The first connector 21 includes a plurality of first connecting pieces 211 adapted to the plurality of electric conductors 123, a first base 213 for accommodating the first connecting pieces 211, and a first cover plate 214 matched with the first base 213. The first cover plate 214 is used to encapsulate the first connecting pieces 211 in the first base 213. The first connecting pieces 211 are spaced apart from each other, and the two electric connecting parts are arranged at the two ends of the first connecting pieces 211 and partially exposed to the first base 213. Since the plurality of electric conductors 123 in the power rail 12 are arranged in two rows, the plurality of first connecting pieces 211 in the first connector 21 are also arranged in two groups correspondingly. The first connecting pieces 211 in the adjacent two groups are arranged staggered in the first direction, and the corresponding electric connecting parts of the first connecting pieces 211 in the adjacent two groups are arranged staggered in the second direction. In this way, the corresponding electric connecting parts of the first connecting pieces 211 can electrically contact with the corresponding electric conductors 123.

[0056] In the first direction, the electric connecting part of the first connector 21 for electrically connecting with the second connector 22 is defined as the first electric connecting part 2121, and the electric connecting part of the first connector 21 for contacting with the corresponding electric conductor 123 is defined as the second electric connecting part 2122.

[0057] Specifically, the first connector 21 is a pivotable connector. During the rotation of the first connector 21, it has a connected position and a disconnected position, as shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15In the connected position, the second electrical connection part 2122 of the first connector 21 is in electrical contact with the corresponding electrical conductor 123, and the first electrical connection part 2121 is in electrical connection with the second connector 22, thereby achieving electrical connection of the two power rails 12. In the disconnected position, the first electrical connection part 2121 of the first connector 21 is electrically isolated from the second connector 22, and preferably the second electrical connection part 2122 of the first connector 21 is also electrically isolated from the electrical conductor 123 of the corresponding power rail 12, not only ensuring the safety of installation, but also achieving quick power-off. Through this simplified connection step, the installation process is more intuitive and easy to operate, reducing the need for professional installers and saving installation time and cost. The track module 100 of the utility model, when installed, only needs to pivot the first connector 21 to the connected position to achieve electrical connection, which is convenient and saves time and effort. Moreover, only in the connected position can the two adjacent track sections 10 achieve electrical connection, increasing the safety during installation and maintenance and reducing the risk of electric shock. When the track module 100 needs to be maintained or upgraded, pivoting the first connector 21 to the disconnected position can achieve quick power-off, facilitating the replacement of load equipment and module maintenance. In addition, the pivotable first connector 21 enables the track module 100 to adapt to different installation environments and lighting needs, providing greater flexibility and adaptability.

[0058] Specifically, the two electrical connection parts of the first connector 21 extend in the same direction relative to the corresponding first connecting piece 211 and are partially exposed on the same side of the first base 213. Specifically, the first base 213 of the first connector 21 includes two end portions 2131 and an intermediate portion arranged in a first direction, and the first cover plate 214 and the first base 213 are arranged in a second direction, i.e., the first base 213 is arranged towards the power rail 12, while the first cover plate 214 is arranged away from the power rail 12. The first base 213 and the first cover plate 214 are both made of insulating material, and a first receiving space 215 for partially receiving the first connecting piece 211 is formed between the first base 213 and the first cover plate 214. Optionally, the first base 213 and the first cover plate 214 are detachably connected. Of course, in other embodiments, the first base 213 and the first cover plate 214 can also be integrally formed.

[0059] The first receiving space 215 is provided with a plurality of partitions 216 for spacing the first connecting members 211. In the embodiment, the first connecting members 211 are partially received in the first receiving space 215 along the first direction, and the first connecting members 211 in different groups are oppositely arranged, such that the first electric connecting portions 2121 of the first connecting members 211 in different groups are oppositely arranged, and the second electric connecting portions 2122 are oppositely arranged along the first direction. The two first connecting members 211 in different groups are located on opposite sides of the partitions 216, i.e., the plurality of first connecting members 211 in the same group are located on the same side of the corresponding partition 216. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, when only a single row of electric conductors 123 is arranged in the power rail 12, only one group of first connecting members 211 is arranged, and the plurality of first connecting members 211 in the single group do not need to be oppositely arranged.

[0060] The side of the first base 213 away from the first cover plate 214 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 2132 for the two electric connecting portions of each first connecting member 211 to extend out, so as to be electrically connected or in contact with the corresponding electric conductor 123 and the second connector 22, respectively. The two electric connecting portions of each first connecting member 211 are preferably located on the side of the first base 213 away from the first cover plate 214, and are arranged close to the two end portions 2131, respectively.

[0061] One of the end portions of the first base 213 is provided with a plurality of first plug plates 217 arranged at intervals, which extend away from the first cover plate 214 along the second direction, so that the first plug plates 217 can be inserted into the gap between the adjacent profiles 122 of the power rail 12 along the second direction. The first plug plates 217 are arranged close to one of the two end portions 2131 away from the second connector 22, and the first plug plates 217 are provided with first receiving grooves 2171 in communication with the first through holes 2132. The first receiving grooves 2171 are used for receiving one of the electric connecting portions of the first connecting members 211, for example Figure 8 the second electric connecting portion 2122 shown. The second electric connecting portion 2122 of the first connecting member 211 extends into the first receiving groove 2171 and partially protrudes from the first receiving groove 2171, so that when the first plug plate 217 is inserted into the corresponding power rail 12, the portion of the second electric connecting portion 2122 protruding from the first receiving groove 2171 can be in electrical contact with the corresponding electric conductor 123. Along the second direction, the second electric connecting portions 2122 of the first connecting members 211 in different groups are oppositely arranged on the same first plug plate 217 and located on opposite sides of the first plug plate 217; the first electric connecting portions 2121 of the two groups of first connecting members 211 are arranged in the same plane.

[0062] As Figures 7 to 9As shown, the first connector 21 has a pivot portion 218 and a grip portion 219. A connecting line exists between the first electrical connection portion 2121 and the second electrical connection portion 2122 of each first connector 211. The pivot portion 218 can rotate along a rotation axis perpendicular to the connecting line between the two electrical connections. For example, this rotation axis could be as follows: Figure 7 The line connecting the two pivot portions 218 is shown. In this embodiment, the first connector 21 is pivotally connected to the connecting plate 30 via the pivot portion 218, allowing the first connector 21 to rotate relative to the connecting plate 30 along the rotation axis, thereby quickly switching between the connected and disconnected positions. The grip portion 219 is configured to be rotatable relative to the pivot portion 218 about the rotation axis via a drive, to facilitate switching of the first connector 21 between the connected and disconnected positions.

[0063] Specifically, the pivot portion 218 is located on one end 2131 of the first base 213 along a first direction. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the pivot portion 218 includes two lugs protruding from the first base 213. The lugs have rotating holes. A mating portion 321 is provided on the side plate 32 of the connecting plate 30 corresponding to the pivot portion 218. The mating portion 321 includes two protruding posts extending away from the side plate 32. The two protruding posts are respectively inserted into the rotating holes of the two lugs, thereby enabling the pivot portion 218 to be pivotally connected to the connecting plate 30. It should be noted that the pivot portion 218 can also be pivotally connected to the mating portion 321 of the connecting plate 30 in other ways, such as through a pivot shaft. This invention does not limit this aspect.

[0064] The grip portion 219 is located on the other end 2131 of the first cover plate 214, away from the pivot portion 218, along a first direction. The grip portion 219 is positioned along the first direction (e.g.,...) Figure 15 The first connector 21 is rotated counterclockwise by the gripping part 219 to the connection position, thereby establishing an electrical connection between the two power rails 12. Conversely, the first connector 21 is rotated counterclockwise by the gripping part 219 in the opposite direction to the first direction (e.g., ...). Figure 14 The middle grip 219 flips the first connector 21 in a clockwise direction, changing the first connector 21 from the connected position to the disconnected position, thereby realizing the rapid power disconnection between the first connector 21, the second connector 22, and the track segment 10.

[0065] like Figures 10 to 12As shown, the second connector 22 includes two electrical connection parts, one of which is used to be inserted into the corresponding power rail 12 and electrically contact the corresponding electrical conductor 123, and the other is used to electrically connect with the corresponding electrical connection part of the first connector 21. The second connector 22 includes a plurality of second connecting pieces 221 adapted to the plurality of electrical conductors 123, a second base 223 for accommodating the second connecting pieces 221, and a second cover plate 224 cooperating with the second base 223. The second cover plate 224 is used to encapsulate the second connecting pieces 221 in the second base 223. The second connecting pieces 221 are spaced apart from each other, and two electrical connection parts are arranged at two ends of the second connecting pieces 221 and are partially exposed to the second base 223 and the second cover plate 224, respectively. Since the plurality of electrical conductors 123 in the power rail 12 are arranged in two rows, the plurality of second connecting pieces 221 in the second connector 22 are also arranged in two groups. The second connecting pieces 221 in adjacent two groups are arranged staggered in the first direction, and the corresponding electrical connection parts of the second connecting pieces 221 in adjacent two groups are arranged staggered in the second direction. In this way, the corresponding electrical connection parts of the second connecting pieces 221 can electrically contact the corresponding electrical conductors 123.

[0066] The second connector 22 is inserted and fixed on the power rail 12 of the adjacent track segment 10. The two electrical connection parts of the second connector 22 extend in opposite directions relative to the corresponding second connecting pieces 221 and are partially exposed to the second base 223 and the second cover plate 224, respectively. In the second direction, the electrical connection part of the second connector 22 for electrically connecting with the first connector 21 is defined as a third electrical connection part 2221, and the electrical connection part of the first connector 21 for contacting the corresponding electrical conductor 123 is defined as a fourth electrical connection part 2222.

[0067] Specifically, the second cover plate 224 and the second base 223 are arranged in the second direction, i.e., the second base 223 is arranged towards the power rail 12, and the second cover plate 224 is arranged away from the power rail 12. The second base 223 and the second cover plate 224 are both made of insulating material, and a second accommodation space 225 for partially accommodating the second connecting pieces 221 is formed between the second base 223 and the second cover plate 224. Optionally, the second base 223 and the second cover plate 224 can be detachably connected. Of course, in other embodiments, the second base 223 and the second cover plate 224 can also be integrally formed.

[0068] The second accommodating space 225 is provided with a plurality of mounting plates 226 for mounting the second connecting pieces 221. In the embodiment, the second connecting pieces 221 are partially accommodated in the second accommodating space 225 along the second direction, and are clamped and fixed on one side of the mounting plates 226. The mounting plates 226 are correspondingly provided with two groups, and the two groups of mounting plates 226 are arranged in the first direction and are staggered, and the mounting plates 226 in the same group are arranged in the third direction. In the embodiment, the two second connecting pieces 221 in different groups are clamped and fixed on different sides of the mounting plates 226, that is, the second connecting pieces 221 in the same group are located on the same side of the corresponding mounting plates 226. The second base 223 away from the second cover plate 224 is provided with a plurality of second apertures 2231 for the fourth electrically connecting parts 2222 of each second connecting piece 221 to extend out, so as to be in electrical contact with the corresponding electric conductors 123. The second cover plate 224 is provided with a receiving groove 2241 corresponding to each second connecting piece 221 for exposing the third electrically connecting part 2221 of each second connecting piece 221, so as to be electrically connected with the first connector 21.

[0069] The second base 223 away from the second cover plate 224 is provided with a plurality of second insertion plates 227 arranged at intervals, and the second insertion plates 227 extend along the second direction, so that the second insertion plates 227 can be inserted into the power rail 12 along the second direction. The second insertion plates 227 are inserted into the gap between the profiles 122 to achieve mechanical connection with the power rail 12. The second apertures 2231 are arranged on the side close to the second insertion plates 227, and the second insertion plates 227 are provided with second receiving grooves 2271 in communication with the second apertures 2231 for receiving the fourth electrically connecting parts 2222 of the second connecting pieces 221. The fourth electrically connecting parts 2222 of the second connecting pieces 221 extend into the second receiving grooves 2271 and protrude from the second receiving grooves 2271, and can be in electrical contact with the corresponding electric conductors 123 when the first insertion plates 217 are inserted into the corresponding power rail 12. In the second direction, the fourth electrically connecting parts 2222 of the second connecting pieces 221 in different groups are arranged on the same second insertion plate 227 and are located on the opposite sides of the second insertion plate 227; the third electrically connecting parts 2221 of the two groups of second connecting pieces 221 are arranged in the same plane.

[0070] As Figures 7 to 15As shown, in the present embodiment, the first electrical connecting part 2121 on the first connector 21 which is electrically connected with the second connector 22 is a contact terminal which extends out of the first base 213. The second cover plate 224 of the second connector 22 is correspondingly provided with a receiving groove 2241 into which the contact terminal is inserted to contact the corresponding third electrical connecting part 2221. The contact terminal is exposed, and the contact terminal includes a bent electrical connecting end 2123, wherein the center of the bending of the electrical connecting end 2123 is used to contact the corresponding third electrical connecting part 2221 to achieve electrical connection when the electrical connecting end 2123 extends into the receiving groove 2241. In this way, the contact between the first electrical connecting part 2121 and the third electrical connecting part 2221 is more close, and the stability of the electrical connection is improved. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the third electrical connecting part 2221 can be provided as a socket into which the contact terminal is inserted, so as to improve the stability of the electrical connection. Preferably, the first base 213 of the first connector 21 is provided with a protruding counter socket (not shown), the contact terminal is accommodated in the counter socket, and the contact terminal is spaced apart from the inner peripheral wall of the counter socket. The receiving groove 2241 protrudes from the second cover plate 224 of the second connector 22, and the third electrical connecting part 2221 of the second connector 22 extends into the receiving groove 2241. When the receiving groove 2241 and the counter socket are plugged together, the contact terminal and the third electrical connecting part 2221 are electrically connected, and the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 are electrically connected. In this way, the plugging of the receiving groove 2241 and the counter socket can increase the mechanical connection strength of the contact terminal and the third electrical connecting part 2221.

[0071] In some embodiments, the third electrical connection part 2221 on the second connector 22 that is electrically connected with the first connector 21 is a contact terminal extending out of the second cover plate 224, and the first connector 21 is provided with a receiving groove (not shown) on the first base 213 for the contact terminal to be inserted into and electrically connected with the corresponding first electrical connection part 2121. The contact terminal is exposed, and the contact terminal includes a curved electrical connection end, wherein the center of the curved electrical connection end is used to contact the corresponding first electrical connection part 2121 when the contact terminal extends into the receiving groove to achieve electrical connection. In this way, the contact between the first electrical connection part 2121 and the third electrical connection part 2221 is more closely, and the stability of the electrical connection is improved. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the first electrical connection part 2121 can be provided as a socket for the contact terminal to be inserted into to improve the stability of the electrical connection. Preferably, the second cover plate 224 of the second connector 22 is provided with a protruding counter slot (not shown), the contact terminal is received in the counter slot, and the contact terminal is spaced apart from the inner peripheral wall of the counter slot. The receiving groove protrudes from the first base 213 of the first connector 21, and the first electrical connection part 2121 of the first connector 21 extends into the receiving groove. When the receiving groove and the counter slot are inserted and fitted, the contact terminal and the first electrical connection part 2121 are electrically connected, and the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 are electrically connected. In this way, the insertion and fitting of the receiving groove and the counter slot can increase the mechanical connection strength of the contact terminal and the first electrical connection part 2121.
