Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, and more particularly to an electric track. Background Technology

[0002] An electric track is a device used to supply power to and control electrical equipment. By installing power lines and switch control devices on the electric track, various electrical devices can be easily connected and controlled, enabling intelligent and convenient management.

[0003] However, in some related technologies, the improper installation of electric tracks has led to high costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an electric track that can reduce the cost of electric tracks.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides an electric rail, including a panel and a locking element. The panel has a first locking element and a second locking element spaced apart. The locking element is located on the side of the panel facing the first locking element, extends along the direction from the first locking element to the second locking element, and engages with both the first and second locking elements. The locking element has a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove, respectively. A first insert is disposed in the first mounting groove, and a second insert is disposed in the second mounting groove. The electric rail is used to achieve electrical connection with electrical equipment via the first and second inserts.

[0006] In the electric rail proposed in this application, the housing is formed by the snap-fit ​​of a panel and clips. The clips can be made of low-cost and low-density materials. This reduces the amount of material used in the panel, thereby lowering the cost and weight of the electric rail.

[0007] Optionally, the card is made of plastic and has a decorative film on the side opposite to the panel.

[0008] In other words, the card components can be made of plastic. On one hand, plastic is less expensive, reducing the manufacturing cost of the card components and consequently lowering the cost of the power rail. On the other hand, compared to metal, plastic has a lower density, resulting in lighter card components and thus lighter power rails. Furthermore, a decorative film can protect and decorate the surface of the card components that faces away from the panel.

[0009] Optionally, the power rail has a first direction, and the panel is provided with a slot extending along the first direction. The distribution directions of the first and second latching members intersect with the first direction. The power rail also includes an adapter, which is slidably inserted into the slot and abuts against the first and second latching members. The adapter is used for electrical connection with the electrical equipment.

[0010] In this way, when using the power rail, users can adjust the position of the adapter as needed, making the connection between the electrical equipment and the adapter more flexible.

[0011] Optionally, the card also has a third mounting slot, which is opposite to the slot. A third plug-in is installed in the third mounting slot, and the adapter also abuts against the third plug-in.

[0012] With the above settings, the third plug can also be connected to the adapter. The third plug improves safety when using power rails. In the event of leakage or other issues, current can flow out through the third plug, reducing the possibility of damage to the power rails or even safety problems.

[0013] Optionally, the first snap-fit ​​component has a first slot on the side facing the second snap-fit ​​component, and the second snap-fit ​​component has a second slot on the side facing the first snap-fit ​​component. The snap-fit ​​component includes a main body, a first snap-fit ​​rib, and a second snap-fit ​​rib. The first snap-fit ​​rib is connected to the side of the main body facing the first snap-fit ​​component, and the second snap-fit ​​rib is connected to the side of the main body facing the second snap-fit ​​component. Both the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove are provided on the main body. The first snap-fit ​​rib snaps into the first slot, and the second snap-fit ​​rib snaps into the second slot.

[0014] Thus, the first retaining rib can be engaged with the first retaining groove, and the second retaining rib can be engaged with the second retaining groove, so as to achieve the engagement of both the first retaining component and the second retaining component with the retaining component.

[0015] Optionally, the side of the first retaining rib facing away from the main body and / or the side of the second retaining rib facing away from the main body is an arc structure.

[0016] Thus, the contact between the first retaining rib and the first retaining groove is a line-to-surface contact, and / or the contact between the second retaining rib and the second retaining groove is a line-to-surface contact, which can improve the convenience of installing the retaining parts.

[0017] Optionally, a snap-fit ​​platform is also connected to the side of the panel facing the first snap-fit ​​component, and a snap-fit ​​strip is also connected to the main body, with the snap-fit ​​strip snapping into the snap-fit ​​platform.

[0018] A first contact protrusion is provided on the side of the snap-fit ​​strip facing the panel, and the first contact protrusion abuts against the panel. The first contact protrusion has an arc-shaped structure. And / or, a second contact protrusion is provided on the side of the snap-fit ​​strip away from the panel, and the second contact protrusion abuts against the surface of the snap-fit ​​platform facing the panel. The second contact protrusion has an arc-shaped structure.

[0019] In this way, in addition to engaging with the first and second connecting pieces, the clip can also engage with the connecting platform via a connecting strip. Based on this, the clip and the panel can engage in multiple positions, making the installation of the clip more secure and reducing the possibility of the clip detaching from the panel and affecting the use of the power rail.

[0020] Optionally, the power rail also includes a mounting bracket, which covers and engages with a portion of the first and second snap-fit ​​members. The mounting bracket is used to connect to the surface to be installed, so as to mount the power rail onto the surface.

[0021] With the above solution, when using electric rails, the electric rails can be installed on the surface to be installed using a mounting bracket.

[0022] Optionally, the mounting bracket includes a mounting plate, a first snap-fit ​​plate, and a second snap-fit ​​plate. The first snap-fit ​​plate and the second snap-fit ​​plate are connected to the mounting plate at intervals and are positioned opposite each other. The first snap-fit ​​plate, the mounting plate, and the second snap-fit ​​plate together form a mounting cavity, in which a portion of the first snap-fit ​​component and a portion of the second snap-fit ​​component are located. The first snap-fit ​​plate engages with the first snap-fit ​​component, and the second snap-fit ​​plate engages with the second snap-fit ​​component. The mounting plate is used to connect to the surface to be mounted.

[0023] Thus, when the mounting bracket is snapped into the first and second mounting brackets, it can snap into the side of the first mounting bracket that is opposite to the mounting bracket, and the side of the second mounting bracket that is opposite to the mounting bracket.

[0024] Optionally, a first guide plate is provided at the end of the first snap-fit ​​plate facing the panel, and the first guide plate is inclined in a direction away from the mounting cavity. And / or, a second guide plate is provided at the end of the second snap-fit ​​plate facing the panel, and the second guide plate is inclined in a direction away from the mounting cavity.

[0025] Thus, when the first and second snap-fit ​​components are installed on the mounting bracket using the control panel, the first snap-fit ​​component can slide against the first guide plate, and / or the second snap-fit ​​component can slide against the second guide plate, making it easier for the first and second snap-fit ​​components to fall into the mounting cavity and reducing the difficulty of installation.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this application provides an electric track 100, including a panel 10 and a locking member 20. A first locking member 11 and a second locking member 12 are spaced apart on the panel 10. The locking member 20 is located on the side of the panel 10 facing the first locking member 11, extending along the direction from the first locking member 11 to the second locking member 12, and locking with both the first locking member 11 and the second locking member 12. The locking member 20 has a first mounting groove 21 and a second mounting groove 22. A first insert 31 is disposed in the first mounting groove 21, and a second insert 32 is disposed in the second mounting groove 22. The electric track 100 is used to achieve electrical connection with electrical equipment through the first insert 31 and the second insert 32.

[0045] In this embodiment of the application, a first snap-fit ​​member 11 and a second snap-fit ​​member 12 are connected to the panel 10 of the power rail 100. The snap-fit ​​member 20 is located on the side of the panel 10 facing the first snap-fit ​​member 11, and can be snapped into the panel 10 through the first snap-fit ​​member 11 and the second snap-fit ​​member 12 to realize the installation of the snap-fit ​​member 20 on the panel 10.

[0046] The card 20 is provided with a first mounting slot 21 and a second mounting slot 22. A first plug-in 31 is provided in the first mounting slot 21, and a second plug-in 32 is provided in the second mounting slot 22. The first plug-in 31 and the second plug-in 32 can serve as the positions for electrical connection between the power rail 100 and the electrical equipment, so that the power rail 100 can supply power or manage the electrical equipment.

[0047] In this application, panel 10 and clip 20 are two independent components, which are installed by snap-fitting. Thus, panel 10 and clip 20 can be made of different materials.

[0048] Since the panel 10 is the exposed part of the power rail 100 when it is installed and used, it can protect other internal components of the power rail 100 and has requirements for strength and toughness. In addition, in order to make the power rail 100 usable in a wide range of scenarios, such as in humid environments, the panel 10 also needs to be corrosion resistant.

[0049] In related technologies, electric rails have a one-piece shell, with a panel formed on the surface of the shell facing away from the interior of the rails. To ensure high strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance, the shell is typically made of metal materials such as aluminum alloy and stainless steel, resulting in a high usage of metal materials. This leads to higher costs and greater weight for electric rails.

[0050] In this application, the panel 10 and the clip 20 can form a shell-like structure. The panel 10 can be made of a metal material with high strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The clip 20 is located inside the power rail 100 and is used to install the first plug-in 31 and the second plug-in 32. The external environment has little impact on the clip 20, and its requirements for strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance are low.

[0051] Therefore, the card 20 can be made of a different material than the panel 10. In this way, by making a reasonable choice of material for the card 20, the cost and weight of the card 20 can be reduced.

[0052] Furthermore, since the clip 20 extends from the first latching member 11 to the second latching member 12, the size of the clip 20 can be larger, facilitating the formation of the first mounting groove 21 and the second mounting groove 22 on the clip 20. This reduces the need for additional components to connect the portion of the clip 20 that latches with the first latching member 11 and the portion that latches with the second latching member 12, significantly reducing the use of metal materials and further reducing the cost of the power rail 100.

[0053] Furthermore, the clip 20 extends from the first clip 11 to the second clip 12. The clip 20 can also connect the side of the panel 10 where the first clip 11 is provided with the side of the panel 10 where the second clip 12 is provided with the first clip 11, thereby improving the overall integrity of the power rail 100.

[0054] That is, in the electric rail 100 proposed in this application, the housing is formed by the snap-fit ​​of the panel 10 and the clip 20. The clip 20 can be made of a low-cost and low-density material, thus reducing the use of metal materials and lowering the cost and weight of the electric rail 100.

[0055] For ease of manufacturing and installation, the panel 10, the first snap-fit ​​component 11, and the second snap-fit ​​component 12 can be an integral structure, and all three are metal parts.

[0056] Of course, the first connector 11 and the second connector 12 can also be connected to the panel 10 by welding or screwing. The specific configuration of the panel 10, the first connector 11, and the second connector 12 is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0057] In this embodiment, the card holder 20 can be a plastic part, and a decorative film 40 is also provided on the card holder 20. The decorative film 40 is located on the side opposite to the panel 10, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown.

[0058] That is, the clip 20 can be a component made of plastic. On the one hand, plastic has a lower cost, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the clip 20, and thus reduce the cost of the power rail 100. On the other hand, compared with metal, plastic has a lower density, which makes the clip 20 lighter, and thus reduces the weight of the power rail 100.

[0059] That is, in this application, the material of the card 20 can be plastic, which helps to reduce the cost and weight of the power rail 100 and facilitates the lightweighting of the power rail 100.

[0060] Furthermore, the outer surface of the power rail 100 also includes the side of the clip 20 facing away from the panel 10. Since a decorative film 40 is provided on the side of the clip 20 facing away from the panel 10, the decorative film 40 can also protect and decorate the surface of the clip 20 facing away from the panel 10.

[0061] When the panel 10 is made of metal and the clip 20 is made of plastic, the side of the clip 20 facing away from the panel 10 may have inconsistent colors due to the different materials, resulting in an inconsistent appearance of the power track 100. To improve the consistency of the appearance of the power track 100, the color of the decorative film 40 can be the same as the color of the panel 10.

[0062] Specifically, a thin metal film can be electroplated on the side of the card 20 facing away from the panel 10. This thin metal film can form the decorative film 40 described above, so that the card 20 and the panel 10 are the same color on the side facing away from the panel 10. Alternatively, a plastic material with the same color as the panel 10 can be selected to make the decorative film 40, and it can be formed with the card 20 through a two-color injection molding or two-color co-extrusion process, etc.

[0063] Furthermore, since plastic has insulating properties, the first plug-in 31 and the second plug-in 32 can be directly embedded in the plastic clip 20, which can meet the electrical isolation requirements between the first plug-in 31 and the second plug-in 32 and the panel 10, reduce the possibility of current flowing in paths that should not be flowed, and thus reduce the risk of short circuits and electrical fires.

[0064] The material of the card component 20 can be polyethylene (PE), polyamide (PA), or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), etc. When the card component 20 is a plastic part, the specific material of the card component 20 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0065] Of course, the card part 20 can be made of other materials besides plastic. For example, the material of the card part 20 can also be rubber or resin, etc. The specific material of the card part 20 is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application, and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0066] In related technologies, since the entire housing is made of metal, an additional isolator is installed inside the housing to reduce electrical interference and improve the safety of the power rail. Thus, the plug-in used for electrical connection with the equipment can be installed in the isolator to separate the housing from the plug-in.

[0067] Compared with related technologies, the card 20 in this application is itself insulating, which can meet the requirements of power isolation. Thus, the first plug-in 31 and the second plug-in 32 can be directly installed on the card 20, avoiding the need for additional isolation components and improving the ease of installation of the power rail 100.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the power rail 100 has a first direction X, and a slot 101 extending along the first direction X is provided on the panel 10. The distribution directions of the first latching member 11 and the second latching member 12 intersect with the first direction X. The power rail 100 also includes an adapter 50, which is slidably inserted into the slot 101 and abuts against the first plug-in 31 and the second plug-in 32. The adapter 50 is used for electrical connection with electrical equipment.

[0069] In this embodiment, the power rail 100 also includes an adapter 50, which can be installed through a slot 101 on the panel 10. The power rail 100 can achieve electrical connection with the electrical equipment through the adapter 50. Furthermore, the adapter 50 can slide relative to the slot 101, so when using the power rail 100, the user can adjust the position of the adapter 50 as needed, making the connection between the electrical equipment and the adapter 50 more flexible.

[0070] The slot 101 extends along a first direction X, and the first connector 11 and the second connector 12 can be located on opposite sides of the slot 101. Thus, after the adapter 50 is installed in the slot 101, the adapter 50 can abut against both the first plug-in 31 and the second plug-in 32. Therefore, when the power rail 100 is connected to a power source, the adapter 50 can receive electrical signals through the first plug-in 31 and the second plug-in 32, so as to transmit the electrical signals to the power-consuming equipment.

[0071] It should be noted that the first plug-in 31 provides a contact point for the adapter 50 with the neutral wire, and the second plug-in 32 provides a contact point for the adapter 50 with the live wire. This allows the adapter 50 to connect with both the live and neutral wires to form a circuit, thus supplying power to the electrical equipment.

[0072] Generally, the first plug-in 31 and the second plug-in 32 can be located on opposite sides of the slot 101. In conjunction with the foregoing, the card 20 can extend from the first card connector 11 to the second card connector 12, allowing the card 20 to span the slot 101. The card 20 can connect the panels 10 on both sides of the slot 101 via the first card connector 11 and the second card connector 12, reducing the possibility that the relative positions of the panels 10 on different sides of the slot 101 may easily change due to the design of the slot 101, thus affecting the normal operation of the power rail 100.

[0073] In this embodiment, the slot 101 can penetrate the panel 10 along the first direction X. Thus, the slot 101 is relatively large, allowing the adapter 50 to slide a large range on the panel 10, making it easier for the user to adjust the position of the adapter 50.

[0074] At this time, the slot 101 is configured such that the panel 10 comprises two separate parts. The first latching member 11 and the second latching member 12 can be respectively connected to the two separate parts of the panel 10. At this time, the latching of the latching member 20 with the first latching member 11 and the latching of the latching member 20 with the second latching member 12 can fix the two parts of the panel 10, so that the power rail 100 forms a whole, allowing the power rail 100 to work normally.

[0075] Therefore, with the slot 101 penetrating the panel 10, the present application can connect the two separate parts of the panel 10 through the clip 20, reducing the possibility of needing to additionally set up a structure between the first clip 11 and the second clip 12 to connect the two separate parts of the panel 10. This makes the cost and weight reduction effect of the power rail 100 proposed in this application more significant.

[0076] To make the effects of this embodiment clearer, a detailed description is provided below in conjunction with related technologies. In related technologies, the housing also has an integrally formed connecting frame, with both ends of the connecting frame connected to two panels respectively, giving the two panels defined positions. In this configuration, the connecting frame is also made of metal, which greatly increases the amount of metal used, resulting in higher cost and weight for the housing.

[0077] In this application, the clip 20 can connect the two panels 10. The clip 20 can be made of low-cost and low-density materials such as plastic, which can greatly reduce the use of metal parts, making the cost and weight of the power rail 100 smaller.

[0078] Of course, slot 101 may not extend through panel 10 along the first direction X, such as... Figure 1 As shown. Thus, with the slot 101 provided, the panel 10 is also a single unit. At this time, the parts of the panel 10 without the slot 101 and the clip 20 can maintain the integrity of the panel 10, which can reduce the possibility of the panel 10 separating due to the slot 101, and allow the power rail 100 to work normally.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the card 20 is also provided with a third mounting slot 23, which is opposite to the slot 101. A third plug-in 33 is provided in the third mounting slot 23, and the adapter 50 also abuts against the third plug-in 33.

[0080] With the above configuration, the third plug 33 can also connect to the adapter 50. The third plug 33 enhances the safety of the power rail 100 during use. In the event of leakage or other issues, current can flow out through the third plug 33, reducing the possibility of damage to the power rail 100 or even safety problems.

[0081] Specifically, the third plug-in 33 can be connected to the ground wire, serving as the connection point for the power rail 100 to the ground wire. Generally, in adapters 50, plugs of electrical equipment, etc., the connection point for the ground wire is usually located in the middle. To accommodate this configuration and improve the versatility of the power rail 100, the third plug-in 33 can be positioned opposite the slot 101, so that the third plug-in 33 is located between the first plug-in 31 and the second plug-in 32.

[0082] The connection between the card 20 and the adapter 50 has been described above. Next, this application will provide a detailed description of the specific connection method between the card 20 and the panel 10.

[0083] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first latching member 11 has a first latching groove 111 on the side facing the second latching member 12, and the second latching member 12 has a second latching groove 121 on the side facing the first latching member 11. The latching member 20 includes a main body 201, a first latching rib 202, and a second latching rib 203. The first latching rib 202 is connected to the side of the main body 201 facing the first latching member 11, and the second latching rib 203 is connected to the side of the main body 201 facing the second latching member 12. The first mounting groove 21 and the second mounting groove 22 are both provided on the main body 201.

[0084] With the above scheme, the first retaining rib 202 and the second retaining rib 203 can be located on opposite sides of the main body 201, and the first retaining rib 202 can be opposite to the first retaining groove 111, and the second retaining rib 203 can be opposite to the second retaining groove 121. In this way, the first retaining rib 202 can be engaged with the first retaining groove 111, and the second retaining rib 203 can be engaged with the second retaining groove 121, so as to realize the engagement of both the first retaining member 11 and the second retaining member 12 with the retaining member 20.

[0085] In this application, the first retaining rib 202 and the second retaining rib 203 are located on opposite sides of the main body 201. Thus, when the retaining member 20 is installed, the opposite sides of the retaining member 20 can respectively abut against the first retaining member 11 and the second retaining member 12. Both the first retaining member 11 and the second retaining member 12 can support the retaining member 20, which can also make the retaining member 20 more evenly stressed, reducing the possibility of one-sided stress on the retaining member, which is prone to imbalance under external force and thus detachment from the panel 10.

[0086] Understandably, the power rail 100 is designed to accommodate the power supply and control needs of various electrical devices, and its dimensions in the first direction X are relatively large. Therefore, the dimensions of the first latching member 11, the second latching member 12, and the main body 201 in the first direction X can also be relatively large.

[0087] Thus, the first slot 111, the second slot 121, the first retaining rib 202, and the second retaining rib 203 can also extend along the first direction X, making the size of the card 20 embedded in the first retaining member 11 larger, and the size of the card 20 embedded in the second retaining member 12 also larger. This improves the connection strength between the card 20 and the first retaining member 11, as well as the connection strength between the card 20 and the second retaining member 12, making the installation of the card 20 more stable.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the side of the first retaining rib 202 facing away from the main body 201 is an arc structure 60.

[0089] The first retaining rib 202 is embedded in the first retaining groove 111, with the side of the first retaining rib 202 facing away from the main body 201 and towards the bottom of the first retaining groove 111. To ensure a more secure engagement between the first retaining rib 202 and the first retaining groove 111, the side of the first retaining rib 202 facing away from the main body 201 can abut against the bottom of the first retaining groove 111. This results in a larger portion of the first retaining rib 202 being embedded in the first retaining groove 111, reducing the possibility of the first retaining rib 202 detaching from the first retaining groove 111, causing the retaining piece 20 to fall off and thus affecting the connection of the adapter 50.

[0090] Since the side of the first retaining rib 202 facing away from the main body 201 is an arc structure 60, when the first retaining rib 202 abuts against the bottom of the first retaining groove 111, it can specifically be the abutment of the arc structure 60 against the bottom of the groove. Thus, the abutment between the first retaining rib 202 and the first retaining groove 111 can specifically be a line-surface contact, wherein the arc structure 60 also extends along the first direction X.

[0091] Therefore, when installing the clip 20, the first retaining rib 202 can be easily embedded in the first retaining groove 111. Compared with the scheme where the side of the first retaining rib 202 facing the first retaining groove 111 is parallel to the bottom of the first retaining groove 111, and the first retaining rib 202 and the bottom of the first retaining groove 111 are in surface contact, the convenience of installing the clip 20 can be improved, thereby improving the installation efficiency.

[0092] Alternatively, the side of the second retaining rib 203 facing away from the main body 201 can also be an arc structure 60. In this way, the contact between the second retaining rib 203 and the second retaining groove 121 can be a line-to-surface contact, making it easier for the second retaining rib 203 to be embedded in the second retaining groove 121, thus improving the convenience of installing the clip 20.

[0093] Alternatively, the side of the first retaining rib 202 facing away from the main body 201 can be an arc structure 60, and the side of the second retaining rib 203 facing away from the main body 201 can also be an arc structure 60. This can greatly improve the ease of installation of the retaining element 20.

[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a snap-fit ​​platform 13 is also connected to the side of the panel 10 facing the first snap-fit ​​member 11, and a snap-fit ​​strip 204 is also connected to the main body 201, which snaps into the snap-fit ​​platform 13.

[0095] Thus, in addition to engaging with the first engaging member 11 and the second engaging member 12, the clip 20 can also engage with the engaging platform 13 via the engaging strip 204. Based on this, the clip 20 and the panel 10 can be engaged in multiple positions, making the installation of the clip 20 more stable and reducing the possibility of the clip 20 detaching from the panel 10 and affecting the use of the power rail 100.

[0096] like Figure 4 As shown, the card receiving station 13 may include a first card plate 131 and a second card plate 132 connected to each other, forming a structure similar to a " The structure allows for the formation of a space between the snap-fit ​​platform 13 and the panel 10 to accommodate the snap-fit ​​strip 204. To ensure a more secure snap-fit ​​between the snap-fit ​​strip 204 and the snap-fit ​​platform 13, the snap-fit ​​strip 204 can abut against any part of the panel 10, the first snap-fit ​​plate 131, and the second snap-fit ​​plate 132.

[0097] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the snap-fit ​​strip 204 has a first contact protrusion 205 on the side facing the panel 10. The first contact protrusion 205 abuts against the panel 10 and has an arc structure 60. Thus, when the snap-fit ​​strip 204 abuts against the panel 10, there can be a line-to-surface contact between the snap-fit ​​strip 204 and the panel 10, which facilitates the installation of the snap-fit ​​strip 204.

[0098] Alternatively, the snap-fit ​​strip 204 may have a second contact protrusion 206 on the side opposite to the panel 10. The second contact protrusion 206 abuts against the first snap-fit ​​plate 131, and the second contact protrusion 206 has an arc structure 60. In this way, when the snap-fit ​​strip 204 abuts against the first snap-fit ​​plate 131, there can be a line-to-surface contact between the snap-fit ​​strip 204 and the first snap-fit ​​plate 131, which facilitates the installation of the snap-fit ​​strip 204.

[0099] As a preferred embodiment, the snap-fit ​​strip 204 has a first contact protrusion 205 on the side facing the panel 10, and a second contact protrusion 206 on the side facing away from the panel 10. Both the first contact protrusion 205 and the second contact protrusion 206 can be arc structures 60.

[0100] In addition, when the snap-fit ​​strip 204 abuts against the second card plate 132, the side of the snap-fit ​​strip 204 facing the second card plate 132 can also be an arc structure 60, so that the contact between the snap-fit ​​strip 204 and the second card plate 132 is also a line-surface contact, which can further facilitate the installation of the card 20 and improve the installation efficiency of the card 20.

[0101] It should be noted that, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there can be two contact strips 204, which can be located on opposite sides of the slot 101. Correspondingly, there can be two contact platforms 13, and the two contact strips 204 can be embedded in different contact platforms 13 to improve the connection strength between the card 20 and the panel 10.

[0102] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the power rail 100 may also include a sealing strip 80. The sealing strip 80 may be located between the two snap-fit ​​strips 204 and opposite to the slot 101. In this way, the sealing strip 80 can seal the slot 101 where the adapter 50 is not provided, reducing the possibility of external dust, liquids, etc. entering the interior of the power rail 100 and affecting the use of the power rail 100.

[0103] In addition, a first baffle and a second baffle can be connected to both sides of the panel 10. The first baffle is located on the side of the first latching member 11 opposite to the second latching member 12, and the second baffle is located on the side of the second latching member 12 opposite to the first latching member 11. The first baffle and the second baffle can protect the latching member 20 from the side of the power rail 100.

[0104] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the power rail 100 also includes a mounting bracket 70, which covers a portion of the first snap-fit ​​member 11 and a portion of the second snap-fit ​​member 12, and snaps into both the first snap-fit ​​member 11 and the second snap-fit ​​member 12. The mounting bracket 70 is used to connect to the surface to be installed, so as to install the power rail 100 onto the surface to be installed.

[0105] In this embodiment of the application, the power rail 100 also includes a mounting bracket 70, which can be used to mount the power rail 100 on the surface to be installed.

[0106] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting bracket 70 can be snapped into both the first snap-fit ​​member 11 and the second snap-fit ​​member 12. Since the mounting bracket 70 covers the first snap-fit ​​member 11 and the second snap-fit ​​member 12, and the snap-fit ​​member 20 is located between the first snap-fit ​​member 11 and the second snap-fit ​​member 12, a portion of each of the three members—the first snap-fit ​​member 11, the second snap-fit ​​member 12, and the snap-fit ​​member 20—is located inside the mounting bracket 70.

[0107] Thus, when the mounting bracket 70 is snapped into the first snap-fit ​​member 11 and the second snap-fit ​​member 12, it can snap into the side of the first snap-fit ​​member 11 opposite to the snap-fit ​​member 20 and the side of the second snap-fit ​​member 12 opposite to the snap-fit ​​member 20.

[0108] Among them, such as Figure 7 As shown, the mounting bracket 70 includes a mounting plate 71, a first snap-fit ​​plate 72, and a second snap-fit ​​plate 73. The first snap-fit ​​plate 72 and the second snap-fit ​​plate 73 are spaced apart and connected to the mounting plate 71, and are arranged opposite to each other. The first snap-fit ​​plate 72, the mounting plate 71, and the second snap-fit ​​plate 73 together form a mounting cavity 74. In this way, the mounting bracket 70 can form a U-shaped structure, and the mounting plate 71 can be connected to the surface to be mounted.

[0109] Part of the first snap-fit ​​member 11 and part of the second snap-fit ​​member 12 can be located in the mounting cavity 74. The first snap-fit ​​plate 72 can snap-fit ​​with the first snap-fit ​​member 11, and the second snap-fit ​​plate 73 can snap-fit ​​with the second snap-fit ​​member 12.

[0110] Specifically, such as Figure 6As shown, the first latching member 11 may have a first groove 112 on the side opposite to the latching member 20, and the second latching member 12 may have a second groove 122 on the side opposite to the latching member 20. The first latching plate 72 may have a first buckle 77 on the side facing the second latching plate 73, and the second latching plate 73 may have a second buckle 78 on the side facing the first latching plate 72.

[0111] When the mounting bracket 70 is set, the first buckle 77 can be engaged in the first groove 112, and the second buckle 78 can be engaged in the second groove 122.

[0112] It should be noted that the first clip 77 and the second clip 78 can be elastic to facilitate the installation of the mounting bracket 70. When the mounting bracket 70 is fitted onto the first snap-fit ​​member 11 and the second snap-fit ​​member 12, the first snap-fit ​​member 11 can press against the first clip 77, and the second snap-fit ​​member 12 can press against the second clip 78.

[0113] After the mounting bracket 70 is installed in place, the first clip 77 can be embedded in the first groove 112, and the second clip 78 can be embedded in the second groove 122. At this time, the first snap-fit ​​11 releases its pressure on the first clip 77, and the second snap-fit ​​12 releases its pressure on the second clip 78, allowing the first clip 77 and the second clip 78 to return to their original shape, thus fixing the mounting bracket 70 in place.

[0114] It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, the surface to be installed can be different surfaces, and can be set according to the user's needs. For example, the surface to be installed can be a wall or a cabinet surface, etc., and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0115] For ease of description, the mounting frame 70 and the rest of the electric track 100 are distinguished, and the rest of the electric track 100 excluding the mounting frame 70 is referred to as the main body.

[0116] When installing the power rail 100 on the surface to be installed, the mounting bracket 70 can be removed from the main body first. Then, the mounting bracket 70 can be connected to the surface to be installed using fasteners 79. After that, the aforementioned main body can be operated so that the main body faces the mounting bracket 70 for installation, and the mounting bracket 70 can be engaged with both the first snap-fit ​​member 11 and the second snap-fit ​​member 12.

[0117] During the installation process described above, when aligning the main body with the mounting bracket 70 and engaging the mounting bracket 70 with the first snap-fit ​​component 11 and the second snap-fit ​​component 12, the main body may obstruct the mounting bracket 70, preventing the user from observing the installation process and thus hindering installation. This could potentially lead to installation failure due to misalignment between the main body and the mounting bracket 70.

[0118] In this application, the installation of the main body and the mounting bracket 70 is also relatively convenient. Specifically, as shown... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a first guide plate 75 is provided at one end of the first snap-fit ​​plate 72 facing the panel 10, and the first guide plate 75 is inclined in a direction away from the mounting cavity 74. And / or, a second guide plate 76 is provided at one end of the second snap-fit ​​plate 73 facing the panel 10, and the second guide plate 76 is inclined in a direction away from the mounting cavity 74.

[0119] Since the first guide plate 75 is inclined in the direction away from the mounting cavity 74, when the main body and the mounting bracket 70 are installed, the first snap-fit ​​11 can slide against the first guide plate 75, which makes it easier for the first snap-fit ​​11 and the second snap-fit ​​12 to fall into the mounting cavity 74, reducing the difficulty of installing the main body.

[0120] Similarly, when the second guide plate 76 is connected to the second snap-fit ​​plate 73, the second snap-fit ​​piece 12 can slide against the second guide plate 76 when the main body and the mounting bracket 70 are installed, so that the first snap-fit ​​piece 11 and the second snap-fit ​​piece 12 can fall into the mounting cavity 74, reducing the difficulty of installing the main body.

[0121] In this embodiment, either the first guide plate 75 or the second guide plate 76 can be provided. Alternatively, both the first guide plate 75 and the second guide plate 76 can be provided, which can improve the guiding effect and further facilitate the installation of the main body and the mounting bracket 70.

[0122] It should be noted that there can be multiple mounting brackets 70, which can be spaced apart along the first direction X, and all mounting brackets 70 are used to connect to the surface to be installed. This can improve the connection strength between the power rail 100 and the surface to be installed.

[0123] In the electric track 100 proposed in this application, the housing is formed by the snap-fit ​​of a panel 10 and a clip 20. The clip 20 can be made of a low-cost and low-density material. In this way, the use of metal materials can be reduced, thereby reducing the cost and weight of the electric track 100.

[0124] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely specific implementations of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
