Detailed Implementation

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0029] This utility model relates to a track light snap-fit ​​structure, including a connecting seat 100, a sliding key 200, and a push-button lock 300.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the connecting seat 100 can be box-shaped, and a latch 110 is provided on the connecting seat 100. The latch 110 can elastically swing on the connecting seat 100, and the swing direction can be swinging outward from the connecting seat 100 or swinging inward from the connecting seat 100. Specifically, the latch 110 can be integrally formed on the connecting seat 100. The latch 110 is in the shape of a spring piece, and a U-shaped gap is formed between the periphery of the latch 110 and the side wall of the connecting seat 100. The latch 110 can elastically swing to a certain extent through the connection point with the connecting seat 100. The slide key 200 is slidably mounted on the connecting seat 100. The slide key 200 has a first position and a second position when sliding on the connecting seat 100. A push-type latch 300 is mounted on the connecting seat 100, and the push-type latch 300 switches states by pressing. When the slide key 200 slides on the connecting seat 100, the slide key 200 can move towards or away from the push-button latch 300, and the slide key 200 can move to abut against the push-button latch 300 and press the push-button latch 300. Specifically, initially, as... Figure 3 As shown, the slide key 200 moves away from and disengages from the push-button latch 300, at which point the slide key 200 is in the second position. At this time, the slide key 200 is away from the latch 110, which can swing inwards towards the connecting seat 100. When the slide key 200 moves from the second position to the first position, the slide key 200 abuts against the push-button latch 300 and presses the push-button latch 300 once, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, when the push-button latch 300 is pressed, it switches to a state that clamps the slide key 200. At this time, the slide key 200 is opposite to the latch 110 in the first position, and the slide key 200 prevents the latch 110 from swinging inward toward the connecting seat 100, so that the latch 110 is kept in the position extending outward from the connecting seat 100. When it is necessary to release the restriction on the latch 110, first push the slide key 200 toward the push-button latch 300, and then press the push-button latch 300 again. At this time, the push-button latch 300 switches to the state of releasing the slide key 200. Then the slide key 200 can slide from the first position to the second position.

[0031] In actual use, such as Figure 2 As shown, the track light clip-on structure is used with the light track 700. Initially, as... Figure 3 As shown, the slide key 200 is initially positioned in the second position. The connecting seat 100 is inserted into the light track 700. During insertion, the latch 110 retracts into the connecting seat 100 under the pressure of the inner wall of the light track 700. This continues until the connecting seat 100 is inserted into the latch 110 and aligned with the slot 710 inside the light track 700. The latch 110 engages in the slot 710, as shown. Figure 4As shown, the slide key 200 is then pushed to switch to the first position. Under the clamping action of the push-button latch 300, the slide key 200 remains in the first position, thereby restricting the latch 110 from swinging inward toward the connecting seat 100, so that the latch 110 remains engaged in the slot 710, thereby stably installing the connecting seat 100 on the light track 700. The track light latching structure has a simple overall structure, is easy to operate, and can ensure the installation stability of the connecting seat 100 during use.

[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the interior of the connector 100 is hollow, forming a mounting cavity 120. A snap fastener 110 is formed in the shape of a spring clip on the side wall of the mounting cavity 120. The periphery of the snap fastener 110 forms a U-shaped gap with the side wall of the mounting cavity 120. The side wall of the mounting cavity 120 is also the exterior of the connector 100. In the direction shown, the upper end of the snap fastener 110 connects to the side wall of the mounting cavity 120, and the snap fastener 110 swings relative to the connector 100 with its upper end as a fulcrum. A locking protrusion 111 is provided on the outer surface of the snap fastener 110. A sliding key 200 slides from bottom to top into the mounting cavity 120. The lower part of the sliding key 200 can protrude to the bottom of the connector 100. Without external force, the locking protrusion 111 on the snap fastener 110 protrudes beyond the outer wall of the connector 100. When the latch 110 is subjected to an external force from outside the connecting seat 100, the latch 110 swings towards the mounting cavity 120, and the latch protrusion 111 retracts towards the mounting cavity 120. When the slide key 200 slides to the first position, the slide key 200 and the latch 110 are aligned on the side facing the mounting cavity 120. When the external force pushes the latch protrusion 111 towards the mounting cavity 120, the latch 110 abuts against the slide key 200, and the slide key 200 prevents the latch 110 from swinging towards the mounting cavity 120. At this time, the latch protrusion 111 protrudes beyond the outer wall of the connecting seat 100.

[0033] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the push-button latch 300 includes a spring-loaded body 310 and two clamping portions 320. A first protrusion 210 is provided on the slide key 200. The first protrusion 210 protrudes upward from the upper middle position of the slide key 200. The first protrusion 210 faces the spring-loaded body 310. When the spring-loaded body 310 is pressed by an external force, the two clamping portions 320 can be controlled to switch between closed and open states. The clamping portions 320 can be in a finger-clamping shape. When the slide key 200 slides from the second position to the first position, the first protrusion 210 can press the spring-loaded body 310. After the spring-loaded body 310 is pressed, the two clamping portions 320 are controlled to close relative to clamp the first protrusion. After pressing the spring-loaded body 310 again, the two clamping portions 320 open relative to each other, thereby releasing the first protrusion 210, and the slide key 200 can slide from the first position to the second position.

[0034] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connector 100 has a socket 130. The socket 130 can be located at the bottom of the connector 100. A limiting platform 131 is provided on the inner wall of the socket 130, and a second protrusion 220 is provided on the slide key 200. The slide key 200 slides upwards into the socket 130. The limiting platform 131 is located on the movement path of the second protrusion 220 from the first position to the second position. When the slide key 200 moves to the second position, the second protrusion 220 abuts against the limiting platform 131. Through the cooperation of the limiting platform 131 and the second protrusion 220, the slide key 200 is prevented from continuing to move after moving from the first position to the second position and thus disengaging from the socket 130.

[0035] Furthermore, the socket 130 has opposing first sidewalls 132 and second sidewalls 133. As shown in the figure, the first sidewalls 132 and second sidewalls 133 are distributed left and right. A limiting platform 131 is disposed on the first sidewall 132. A slide key 200 slides between the first sidewall 132 and the second sidewall 133. The slide key 200 includes a first arm 230 and a second arm 240 spaced apart. The slide key 200 can be U-shaped overall. A second protrusion 220 is disposed on the first arm 230, and a third protrusion 241 is provided on the second arm 240. When the slide key 200 is installed into the socket 130, the third protrusion 241 abuts against the second sidewall 133, and the second protrusion 220 is located above the limiting platform 131. When the slide key 200 slides, the third protrusion 241 remains in contact with the second side wall 133. The interaction force between the third protrusion and the second side wall 133 can push the first arm 230 to the left against the first side wall 132, thereby increasing the clamping effect of the first side wall 132 and the second side wall 133 on the slide key 200 and further preventing the slide key 200 from coming out of the socket 130 during normal use.

[0036] Among them, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the slide key 200 is in the first position, the upper part of the first arm 230 is opposite to the inner side of the latch 110. The slide key 200 restricts the latch 110 from swinging inward toward the connecting seat 100 via the first arm 230. When the slide key 200 slides to the second position, the first arm 230 moves downward away from the latch 110, and the latch 110 can then move toward the mounting cavity 120.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the connector 100 is equipped with two slide keys 200 and two push-button latches 300. The slide keys 200 and push-button latches 300 are paired one-to-one. Each slide key 200 has a corresponding latch 110 on its front and rear side walls. That is, one slide key 200, one push-button latch 300, and two latches 110 form a snap-fit ​​combination, and the connector 100 has two such snap-fit ​​combinations. These two snap-fit ​​combinations ensure the stability of the connector 100 when installed on the light track 700. Even if one snap-fit ​​combination fails, the other snap-fit ​​combination still functions, preventing the connector 100 from suddenly falling off the light track 700.

[0038] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a lamp assembly 400. The lamp assembly 400 is installed at the bottom of the connector 100. The lamp assembly 400 is installed between two push-button latches 300. That is, the lamp assembly 400 is located between two snap-fit ​​combinations to ensure lateral force balance when the connector 100 is installed on the light rail 700.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a conductive terminal 500 is mounted on the connector 100. The conductive terminal 500 and the latch 110 are located on the same side of the connector 100. That is, the connector 100 has latches 110 on its front and rear sides, and correspondingly, the connector 100 has conductive terminals 500 on its front and rear sides. After the connector 100 is installed on the lamp track 700, the conductive terminal 500 connects to the conductive strip in the lamp track 700 to achieve electrical conductivity. The conductive terminal 500 is then electrically connected to the lamp assembly 400 through a wire.

[0040] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1, a magnetic attractor 600 is mounted on the top of the connector 100. The magnetic attractor 600 may be a magnet or a metal part that can be attracted by a magnet. The magnetic attractor 600 cooperates with the magnet or magnetically attractable metal in the light track 700 to attract each other.
