Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of track sockets, and more particularly to a mounting backplate, a power track, and a track socket. Background Technology

[0002] Track sockets are a new type of socket product, mainly consisting of a power track and an adapter. The power track, also known as a power rail, is typically installed on walls or desktops. An opening is formed in the power track; the adapter's power-drawing part is inserted into the power track through this opening and comes into contact with the conductive conductor within the track, thus allowing the adapter to draw power from the track.

[0003] In related technologies, in order to achieve concealed installation of electric rails on the mounting surface, for mounting surfaces with thick walls such as walls, an additional pressure plate is usually added to the outer wall of the mounting surface. The side of the pressure plate near the mounting surface has a groove-shaped rail cavity, and the side away from the mounting surface has a plug-in cavity. The plug-in cavity is connected to the rail cavity, and the cross-section of the two in the length direction is arranged in a "convex" shape. The electric rail is installed in the rail cavity, and the rail opening of the electric rail is located at the plug-in cavity.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors discovered that after the power rail is installed inside the rail cavity, the power rail will wobble within the cavity due to the installation gap between it and the cavity. When the adapter is installed on the power rail through the rail opening, it pushes the power rail away from the rail cavity on the pressure plate, resulting in unstable installation of the power rail on the mounting surface. Utility Model Content

[0005] To improve the problem of unstable installation of power rails on the mounting surface, this application provides a mounting backplate, power rails, and rail sockets.

[0006] Firstly, the mounting backplate provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A mounting backplate includes a base plate configured to be fixedly mounted at an opening end of a track cavity; and at least two clamping plates, the at least two clamping plates being disposed opposite each other on both sides of the base plate, a mounting cavity being formed between the base plate and the at least two clamping plates, the mounting cavity being configured to at least partially accommodate an electric track, and the clamping plates being configured to engage with the electric track within the mounting cavity.

[0008] Optionally, it also includes at least two fixing ears, which are disposed opposite each other on both sides of the substrate, and the fixing ears are configured to connect to a pressure plate or mounting surface.

[0009] Optionally, the fixing ear is provided with a mounting hole, which is configured to allow a connecting fastener to pass through to connect the pressure plate or the mounting surface.

[0010] Optionally, the fixing ear includes a bent horizontal plate and a vertical plate, the vertical plate being connected to the base plate, and the horizontal plate being connected to the vertical plate.

[0011] Optionally, four of the aforementioned card plates are provided, and the card plates are mounted on the substrate in pairs.

[0012] Optionally, the end of the card plate away from the substrate is provided with a card plate protrusion, the card plate protrusion protruding towards the mounting cavity, and the card plate protrusion is configured to engage with the power rail.

[0013] Optionally, the number of card plate protrusions on any card plate can be set to multiple, and a card plate groove is formed between two adjacent card plate protrusions. The card plate groove is configured to engage with the power rail.

[0014] Optionally, a hook plate is provided at the end of the card plate away from the base plate. The hook plate is bent toward the mounting cavity and is snapped into connection with the power rail.

[0015] Optionally, at least one support plate is provided on the substrate, the support plate is placed in the mounting cavity, and the end of the support plate away from the substrate abuts against the power rail.

[0016] Secondly, this application provides a technical solution for an electric track using the following method.

[0017] An electric track includes a track body and a mounting backplate as described in any of the above claims. At least one track ridge is provided on each side of the track body, and the track ridge engages with the mounting plate.

[0018] Optionally, multiple track ridges are provided, and the multiple track ridges are placed on both sides of the electric track. A track groove is formed between two adjacent track ridges on the same side. The clamping plate engages with at least a portion of the track ridges and a portion of the track grooves.

[0019] Thirdly, this application also provides a track socket using the following technical solution.

[0020] A track socket includes an adapter and a power track as described in any of the preceding claims, the adapter being slidably mounted on the power track.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] By fixing a mounting backplate at the opening end of the track cavity, the track body is placed in the mounting cavity formed by the track cavity and the mounting backplate. The mounting backplate supports the track body, reducing the risk of the track body detaching from the track cavity and maintaining its stability during installation within the track cavity.

[0023] By setting fixing ears on the base plate and opening mounting holes on the fixing ears, the fixing ears can be used to fix the mounting back plate at the opening end of the track cavity.

[0024] By setting a plate protrusion at the end of the plate, a plate groove is formed between two adjacent plate protrusions. Track ribs are set on both sides of the track body, and a track groove is formed between two adjacent track ribs. The plate protrusion engages with the track groove, and the track rib engages with the plate groove, thereby improving the connection strength and stability between the mounting back plate and the track body.

[0025] By setting multiple track ridges on both sides of the track body, multiple track grooves are formed between the track ridges along the thickness direction of the track body. By adjusting the locking plate protrusions to engage with the track grooves of different heights, the installation height of the track body relative to the mounting back plate can be adjusted. This ensures that the end face of the track body with the track opening is always pressed against the stepped surface of the plug cavity and track cavity on the mounting surface, improving the stability and installation accuracy of the track body in the track cavity and keeping the track plate placed inside the track cavity.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these specific descriptions are only for teaching those skilled in the art how to implement this application, and are not intended to exhaustively describe all possible methods of this application, nor to limit the scope of this application.

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the following will be described in conjunction with the appendix to the specification. Figure 1-7 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described.

[0036] According to the first embodiment of this application, the electric track 100 is as follows:

[0037] Reference Figure 1-4 This application provides an electric track 100, including a track body 101 and at least one mounting backplate 102 snapped onto the track body 101.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 The track body 101 is constructed to be approximately rectangular plate-shaped. Two parallel track plates 1013 are provided on one side surface in the thickness direction along the length direction of the track body 101. A track opening 1014 is formed between the two track plates 1013. The track opening 1014 is connected to the interior of the track body 101 so that the adapter 200 can be inserted to draw power.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 Multiple track ribs 1011 are integrally formed on both sides of the track body 101 in the width direction. The track ribs 1011 extend along the length direction of the track body 101 and are of equal length to the track body 101. The multiple track ribs 1011 are parallel to each other and arranged along the thickness direction of the track body 101, with a track groove 1012 formed between two adjacent track ribs 1011. (Refer to...) Figure 2 The cross-sectional shape of the track 1011 is semi-circular. The number of track 1011 is set to 12. The track 1011 is arranged in groups of six. Two groups of track 1011 are equally spaced on both sides of the track body 101. Thus, the number of track grooves 1012 formed between two adjacent track 1011 is five.

[0040] For a track body 101, the number of its mounting backplates 102 is at least one. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The number of mounting back plates 102 is set to two, which are respectively snapped and installed at both ends of the track body 101 near its own length direction. The two mounting back plates 102 work together to fasten the track body 101 into the track cavity 301 opened on the mounting surface 400, so as to achieve stable installation of the track body 101 on the mounting surface 400.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 The mounting backplate 102 includes a base plate 1, a retaining plate 2, and a fixing ear 4. In this embodiment, the base plate 1, the retaining plate 2, and the fixing ear 4 are integrally stamped from a single piece of sheet metal.

[0042] The base plate 1 is a rectangular metal plate used to mount the clamping plate 2 and the fixing ear 4, as well as the bottom surface used to support the track body 101 in the thickness direction, so as to provide support for the track body 101.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 The number of fixing ears 4 is set to two, which are placed on both sides of the width direction of the substrate 1 and on the same side of the thickness direction of the substrate 1. The fixing ears 4 are L-shaped bent plates, including a horizontal plate 41 and a vertical plate 42 integrally bent. The horizontal plate 41 and the vertical plate 42 are arranged perpendicular to each other. The end of the vertical plate 42 away from the horizontal plate 41 is vertically connected to the substrate 1. The two horizontal plates 41 extend in opposite directions.

[0044] The horizontal plate 41 has mounting holes 5. When the mounting back plate 102 is fixedly installed on the mounting surface 400, a fastening bolt (the lower part of the connecting fastener) is passed through the mounting hole 5 and connected to the pressure plate 300. Then, the pressure plate 300 is fixedly installed on the mounting surface 400, thereby achieving the fixed installation of the fixing ear 4 on the pressure plate 300, and subsequently achieving the fixed installation of the mounting back plate 102 on the mounting surface 400. In other possible methods, the horizontal plate 41 can also be fixedly installed on the pressure plate 300 by means of adhesive bonding to achieve the installation of the fixing ear 4 on the mounting surface 400. In another possible method, the mounting back plate 102 can also be directly fixedly installed on the mounting surface 400 by means of fastening bolts or adhesive bonding, and then the pressure plate 300 is fixedly installed on the mounting surface, which also achieves the fixed installation of the mounting back plate 102 on the mounting surface 400. When installing the mounting backplate 102 directly onto the mounting surface 400, it is important to ensure that the position of the track cavity 301 on the pressure plate 300 corresponds to that of the power track 100.

[0045] Reference Figure 4Since part of the mounting back plate 102 protrudes from the end face of the pressure plate 300 facing the mounting surface 400, in the actual installation process, a back plate cavity 401 will be opened on the mounting surface 400 to accommodate the mounting back plate 102 protruding from the pressure plate 300, so that the pressure plate 300 and the mounting surface 400 fit tightly together.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The number of clamping plates 2 is at least two, placed on both sides of the width direction of the substrate 1, and placed on the same side of the substrate 1 as the fixing ears 4. A mounting cavity 3 is formed between the substrate 1 and the two corresponding clamping plates 2, and the power rail 100 is placed in the mounting cavity 3. In this embodiment, the number of clamping plates 2 is four, and the four clamping plates 2 are placed in pairs on both sides of the width direction of the substrate 1, with the fixing ears 4 placed between the two clamping plates 2 in the same group. Multiple clamping plates 2 are jointly clamped and installed on both sides of the rail body 101, which improves the connection strength between the mounting back plate 102 and the rail body 101 and reduces the risk of detachment between the rail body 101 and the mounting back plate 102.

[0047] For any card plate 2, the end of the card plate 2 away from the base plate 1 is integrally bent to form a card plate protrusion 6. The card plate protrusion 6 extends along the length direction of the card plate 2 and is set with the same length as the card plate 2. The card plate protrusion 6 protrudes towards the mounting cavity 3. When the track body 101 and the mounting back plate 102 are engaged, the card plate protrusion 6 is placed in the track groove 1012 formed on the track body 101.

[0048] Furthermore, for a single card plate 2, the number of end plate protrusions 6 is set to multiple, as shown in the reference. Figure 2 and Figure 4 Taking two locking plate protrusions 6 as an example, the two locking plate protrusions 6 are arranged parallel to each other, and a locking plate groove 7 is formed between the two locking plate protrusions 6. When the track body 101 and the mounting back plate 102 are engaged, the two locking plate protrusions 6 are respectively engaged in two adjacent track grooves 1012 of the track body 101, and the track ridge 1011 between the two adjacent track grooves 1012 is engaged in the locking plate groove 7. By utilizing the multi-structure interlocking engagement between the track body 101 and the mounting back plate 102, the stability of the engagement installation between the track body 101 and the mounting back plate 102 is further improved. Since there are multiple track ridges 1011 and track grooves 1012, by adjusting the engagement of the locking plate protrusions 6 with track grooves 1012 at different heights, and correspondingly adjusting the engagement of the track ridges 1011 with different locking plate recesses 7, the installation height of the track body 101 on the mounting back plate 102 can be adjusted. This ensures that the end face of the track body 101 with the track opening 1014 is always pressed against the stepped surface of the plug-in cavity 302 and the track cavity 301 on the mounting surface 400, thereby improving the stability of the track body 101 installed in the track cavity 301.

[0049] The implementation principle of the first embodiment of this application is as follows: by setting a mounting back plate 102 on the outside of the track body 101, the mounting back plate 102 is installed on the mounting surface 400, and the mounting back plate 102 supports the track body 101 placed in the track cavity 301 of the pressure plate 300, effectively reducing the risk of the track body 101 detaching from the track cavity 301, and improving the problem of unstable installation of the electric track 100 on the mounting surface 400.

[0050] When installing the power rail 100 on the mounting surface 400, firstly, a rail cavity 301 and a plug-in cavity 302 are opened on the mounting surface 400. The rail body 101 is installed in the rail cavity 301 from the back side of the mounting surface 400. Then, the mounting back plate 102 is snapped onto the back side of the rail body 101. Then, the mounting back plate 102 is fixedly installed on the pressure plate 300 using fasteners. Finally, the pressure plate 300 and the power rail 100 installed on the pressure plate 300 are installed on the mounting surface 400.

[0051] According to the second embodiment of this application, the electric track 100 is as follows:

[0052] The electric track 100 according to the second embodiment of this application has a basically the same structure as the electric track 100 according to the first embodiment of this application described above. The main differences between the two are described below.

[0053] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the shape and number of the track ridges 1011 on both sides of the track body 101 are different, and the structures of the fixing ears 4 and the clamping plate 2 of the mounting back plate 102 are different.

[0054] Reference Figure 5 Each side of the track body 101 in the width direction is integrally provided with a track ridge 1011. The track ridge 1011 extends along the length direction of the track body 101 and is of equal length to the track body 101. The two track ridges 1011 are parallel to each other. The cross-sectional shape of the track ridge 1011 can be set as a rectangle, triangle, or other shapes. For details, refer to [reference needed]. Figure 5 When the cross-sectional shape of the track ridge 1011 is triangular, the slope of the side near the track opening 1014 is steeper than the slope of the side away from the track opening 1014. With this arrangement, the clamping plate 2 of the mounting back plate 102 can more easily pass over the top side of the track ridge 101 from the back side of the track body 101 and engage with it. Moreover, the clamping plate 2 of the mounting back plate 102 is not easy to detach from the track ridge 1011, thus improving the stability of the connection between the mounting back plate 102 and the track body 101.

[0055] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6For the fixing lugs 4 on the mounting backplate 102, the height of the longitudinal plate 42 can be flexibly adjusted according to usage requirements, so that the end face of the track opening 1014 of the power rail 100 is always tightly abutted against the pressure plate 300 of the mounting surface 400. The specific adjustment principle of the longitudinal plate 42 is that the length of the fixing lugs 4 is fixed, and the height of the longitudinal plate 42 and the length of the transverse plate 41 can be changed by adjusting the bending position. The adjustment of the height of the longitudinal plate 42 is mainly to adapt to the depth of the track cavity 301 opened on the pressure plate 300, that is, to ensure that the end face of the track opening 1014 of the rail body 101 is fitted against the stepped surface of the plug-in cavity 302 and the track cavity 301. The sum of the depth of the track cavity 301 and the height of the corresponding longitudinal plate 42 of the mounting cavity 3 is equal to the thickness of the rail body 101. Since the depth of the plug-in cavity 302 of the pressure plate 300 is fixed, the thickness of the pressure plate 300 determines the depth of the track cavity 301. Therefore, the height of the longitudinal plate 42 needs to be adapted according to the thickness of the rock slab. When the thickness of the pressure plate 300 is relatively large, the depth of the track cavity 301 opened on it is relatively large, and the height of the longitudinal plate 42 is relatively small; when the thickness of the pressure plate 300 is relatively small, the depth of the track cavity 301 opened on it is relatively small, and the height of the longitudinal plate 42 is relatively large.

[0056] For any of the mounting plates 2 on the mounting back plate 102, the number and arrangement are the same as in the first embodiment. The difference between the two embodiments is that the end of the mounting plate 2 away from the base plate 1 is integrally bent into a hook plate 8. The hook plate 8 is bent toward the mounting cavity 3. When the track body 101 is engaged with the insulating bracket, the end of the hook plate 8 is hooked onto the track ridge 1011. The mounting plate 2 uses its own elasticity to make the hook plate 8 always press against both sides of the track body 101, ensuring the stability of the engagement between the hook plate 8 and the track ridge 1011.

[0057] According to the third embodiment of this application, the electric track 100 is as follows:

[0058] The electric rail 100 according to the third embodiment of this application has a basically the same structure as the electric rail 100 according to the second embodiment of this application described above. The main differences between the two are described below.

[0059] Reference Figure 7 The difference between the third embodiment and the second embodiment is that a support plate 9 is also provided on the substrate 1, and a fixing ear 4 is not provided on the substrate 1.

[0060] Reference Figure 7 Four support plates 9 are integrally formed on the substrate 1 by stamping, and the four support plates 9 are distributed in a rectangular shape on the substrate 1. When the track body 101 is installed in the track cavity 301 of the mounting back plate 102, the ends of the four support plates 9 away from the substrate 1 abut against the bottom surface of the track body 101 to limit the height of the electric track 100 installed on the pressure plate 300.

[0061] Since no fixing lug 4 is provided, the mounting backplate 102 can be fixedly mounted on the mounting surface 400 via the base plate 1 or the clip 2. (Refer to...) Figure 7 Mounting holes 5 are made on the substrate 1, and connecting fasteners such as connecting bolts are inserted to connect and lock the substrate 1 and the mounting surface 400, thereby realizing the installation of the mounting back plate 102 on the mounting surface 400. When installing the power rail 100 on the mounting surface 400, firstly, the mounting back plate 102 is fixedly installed on the mounting surface 400 using connecting fasteners, then the rail body 101 is snapped into the mounting cavity 3 of the mounting back plate 102, and finally, the pressure plate 300 is installed on the mounting surface 400, so that the power rail 100 is placed in the rail cavity 301 and the plug-in cavity 302 on the pressure plate 300.

[0062] In another possible implementation, mounting holes 5 can be formed on the card plate 2, and the base plate 1 of the mounting back plate 102 and part of the card plate 2 can be placed inside the back plate cavity 401, with fasteners connected to the cavity wall of the back plate cavity 401. This connects and locks the card plate 2 and the mounting surface 400, thus enabling the mounting of the back plate 102 on the mounting surface 400.

[0063] This application also provides a track socket, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the track socket includes an adapter 200 and a power track 100 as described in any of the above-mentioned embodiments. The adapter 100 is slidably mounted on the power track 100 and draws power from the power track 100.

[0064] The specific technical solutions of this application have been described in detail above, but this application is not limited to the above technical solutions. The following is a supplementary explanation.

[0065] For mounting surfaces 400 with relatively thin walls, such as desktops, either a pressure plate 300 can be added for installing the power rail 100, or the power rail 100 can be installed directly. When the power rail 100 is installed directly, the desktop mounting surface 400 can be regarded as the pressure plate 300, that is, the plug-in cavity 302 and the rail cavity 301 are formed on the desktop mounting surface 400, and both penetrate the desktop mounting surface 400. The power rail 100 is installed after the mounting surface 400, and part of the rail body 101 and part of the mounting back plate 102 are exposed on the back side of the mounting surface 400.

[0066] The electric track 100 disclosed in the above embodiments can also be directly embedded in the mounting surface 400 of the track cavity 301 with the groove structure. In this case, the mounting back plate 102 and the track body 101 are both placed in the track cavity 301, and the end face of the track body 101 with the track opening 1014 is flush with the mounting surface 400.

[0067] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
