[0002] In the current field of electrical connection equipment, traditional rail sockets, as a common power supply device, mainly consist of two parts: an adapter and a power rail. The power rail has a live wire and a neutral wire for transmitting current. The live and neutral wires are located on the front and back sides of the power rail, respectively. When the adapter is inserted into the power rail, the contact points on the adapter precisely align and make tight contact with the neutral and live wires inside the power rail, thus establishing a circuit connection and providing stable power support for various electrical devices.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0035] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 3 This describes a simplified electric track according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0036] A minimalist electric track includes a track housing 1, an insulated conductor base 2, a conductor 3, and a terminal block 5;
[0037] The track housing 1 has a hollow inner cavity, and the top of the track housing 1 has a first opening 11, which is connected to the inner cavity of the track housing 1.
[0038] The conductor 3 is provided in three parts, two of which are respectively disposed on the top side of the hollow inner cavity of the track shell 1 through the insulating conductor seat 2; and the two conductors 3 are respectively disposed on both sides of the first opening 11.
[0039] Another conductor 3 is disposed on the bottom side of the hollow inner cavity of the track housing 1 through the insulating conductor seat 2;
[0040] Two terminals 5 are provided, and the two terminals 5 are respectively located at the left and right ends of the track housing 1, and the left and right ends of the conductor 3 are connected to the terminals 5.
[0041] An insulating conductor seat 2 is provided in the hollow cavity of the track housing 1. A contact groove 22 is formed inside the insulating conductor seat 2. A second opening 21 is provided on the top of the insulating conductor seat 2. The second opening 21 is connected to the contact groove 22. The second opening 21 is opposite to and communicates with the first opening 11.
[0042] Three conductors 3 are respectively disposed on the top and bottom walls of the contact groove 22.
[0043] Both ends of the track housing 1 are provided with a cover 4, which is used to seal the ends of the track housing 1. The bottom wall of the cover 4 is provided with the wiring terminal 5.
[0044] Traditional power rails, with the live and neutral wires positioned on opposite sides, and the conductor 3 occupying lateral space, result in a wide rail that is difficult to adapt to the compact wall space requirements of modern homes. This invention, however, places the conductor 3 at the top and bottom of the contact groove 22, employing a layered arrangement. This eliminates the need for excessive space in the width direction of the insulated conductor base 2 for the conductor 3, effectively reducing the lateral width of the rail housing 1. This design allows the power rail to better adapt to various space-constrained locations, especially suitable for installations with limited space, such as narrow wall panels, behind furniture, or on decorative walls. It significantly improves space utilization and solves the problem of traditional power rails being too wide to fit the compact wall space requirements of modern homes.
[0045] A contact groove 22 is provided inside the insulated conductor base 2, and the conductor 3 is arranged at the top and bottom of the contact groove 22. This design not only reduces the exposed area of the conductor 3, but also provides the insulated conductor base 2 with good insulation effect, effectively isolating the live wire and the neutral wire and reducing the risk of short circuit. At the same time, the covers 4 provided at both ends of the track housing 1 not only serve a sealing function, but also integrate the wiring terminals 5, which not only improves the stability and reliability of the electrical connection, ensuring efficient and safe power transmission, but also makes the connection of the power cord more convenient, further simplifying the installation process.
[0046] refer to Figures 1-3 The length direction of the conductor 3 is consistent with the length direction of the track housing 1. Therefore, the adapter can extend into any position in the contact groove 22, and the contact point of the adapter can abut against the corresponding conductor 3, thereby quickly and efficiently connecting the circuit. Moreover, in this embodiment, multiple adapters can extend into the contact groove 22 to meet the needs of charging or operating multiple devices simultaneously.
[0047] The conductor 3 includes a live wire, a ground wire, and a neutral wire;
[0048] The contact groove 22 is provided with first copper rod mounting grooves 23 on both the front and rear sides of the second opening 21, and the live wire and the neutral wire are respectively provided in the corresponding first copper rod mounting grooves 23.
[0049] The bottom wall of the contact groove 22 is provided with a second copper rod mounting groove 24, the second copper rod mounting groove 24 is disposed opposite to the second opening 21, and the ground wire is disposed in the second copper rod mounting groove 24;
[0050] The length direction of the second opening 21 is consistent with the length direction of the first copper rod mounting groove 23 and the length direction of the second copper rod mounting groove 24, respectively.
[0051] By dividing the conductors 3 into three types—live wire, ground wire, and neutral wire—and arranging them separately within the insulated conductor base 2, clear zoning of the electrical circuit is achieved. This design effectively avoids the risk of short circuits or misconnections caused by the chaotic arrangement of conductors 3 in traditional power rails. Simultaneously, the ground wire further enhances the safety performance of the power rail, effectively preventing leakage accidents and providing users with higher electrical safety assurance.
[0052] Furthermore, the direct connection between conductor 3 and terminal 5 reduces intermediate points and connecting parts, lowering contact resistance and energy loss, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the electrical connection. This design not only ensures efficient power transmission but also reduces overheating or power outages caused by poor contact, extending the service life of the power rail. Moreover, installers only need to connect the external power cord to the corresponding terminal 5 according to the markings, significantly reducing wiring difficulty and improving installation efficiency.
[0053] The live wire and neutral wire are respectively installed in the first copper rod mounting slot 23 at the top, and are separated from the ground wire at the bottom, which reduces interference between the conductors 3 and improves the reliability of the entire power rail system. By arranging the ground wire in the second copper rod mounting slot 24 on the bottom wall of the contact slot 22, the vertical space of the contact slot 22 is fully utilized, avoiding the increased width caused by the side-by-side arrangement of the ground wire, live wire, and neutral wire in the traditional design. This further reduces the overall width of the power rail, making it more suitable for installation on wall panels or furniture with limited space, thus improving space utilization.
[0054] From a safety perspective, placing the ground wire at the bottom allows it to quickly conduct current to the ground using gravity and a shorter path in the event of abnormal conditions such as leakage, thus effectively playing its grounding protection role and maximizing the safety of personnel and equipment.
[0055] The neutral wire and the live wire are cylindrical in shape.
[0056] The cylindrical conductor 3 has a larger contact area and more uniform current distribution. When the adapter is inserted into the power rail, the cylindrical conductor 3 can form a tighter and more stable electrical connection with the adapter's contact points, reducing contact resistance and energy loss, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of power transmission, and is especially suitable for use with high-power electrical equipment.
[0057] The cylindrical conductor 3 has a smooth surface and a regular shape, making the adapter easier to insert and remove, reducing friction and resistance. This design not only improves the user experience but also reduces wear on the adapter and conductor 3, further extending the product's lifespan.
[0058] The top of the track housing 1 is provided with two limiting members 6, which are located between the first opening 11 and the second opening 21;
[0059] The two limiting members 6 are arranged opposite each other to form a slot 60. The length direction of the slot 60 is consistent with the length direction of the first opening 11. The slot 60 is connected to the first opening 11 and the second opening 21 respectively. The limiting member 6 is used to movably clamp the adapter.
[0060] The slot 60 formed by the two opposing limiting members 6 provides a precise and stable positioning mechanism for adapter installation. When the adapter is inserted into the slot 60, the limiting members 6 can tightly and evenly clamp the adapter. During daily use, even in the event of accidental impact or vibration, the adapter is not easily loosened or detached. For example, in a kitchen environment, cooking operations may cause the countertop to vibrate, and the limiting member 6 ensures that the electrical adapter connected to the power rail remains secure, guaranteeing the continuity of power supply and effectively avoiding problems such as power outages or poor contact caused by a loose adapter, providing users with a stable and reliable power experience.
[0061] The length direction of the slot 60 is consistent with the length direction of the first opening 11 and the second opening 21, and they are interconnected. This allows the adapter to be smoothly inserted or removed along the slot 60. Unlike traditional sockets, users do not need to search for the right position in a complex array of sockets. They simply align the adapter with the first opening 11 and gently insert it. The adapter passes through the first opening 11 and the slot 60 in sequence and quickly settles into the contact groove 22, achieving a rapid connection. This greatly saves users' time and effort, and is especially suitable for scenarios where adapters are frequently plugged and unplugged, such as frequently changing adapters for different electrical appliances in an office.
[0062] When the adapter is inserted into the slot 60, the limiting member 6 fits tightly with the adapter, forming an effective dust barrier between the adapter and the track housing 1, which can effectively prevent dust from entering the track and contacting the conductor 3.
[0063] The limiting member 6 includes a mounting part 61 and a bending part 62. The mounting part 61 and the bending part 62 are integrally formed. The limiting member 6 is made of rubber material.
[0064] The track housing 1 has a limiting groove between the first opening 11 and the insulating conductor seat 2. The mounting part 61 is disposed in the limiting groove, and the bending part 62 extends out of the limiting groove and is located below the first opening 11.
[0065] The mounting part 61 is securely positioned within the limiting groove, providing a solid support base for the bending part 62. This ensures that even with frequent adapter insertion and removal during long-term use, the limiting member 6 is not prone to displacement or damage. The bending part 62, extending out of the limiting groove and positioned below the first opening 11, can be finely adjusted to some extent according to the size and shape of the adapter. When dealing with adapters of varying thicknesses, the bending part 62 can utilize its elasticity to appropriately adjust the contact angle and force with the adapter, achieving a secure clamping while ensuring normal adapter insertion and removal operations.
[0066] The curved section 62 is located below the first opening 11, which can effectively prevent dust, debris and other objects from falling into the track through the first opening 11. Dust is difficult to enter the area where the insulated conductor seat 2 and conductor 3 are located through the first opening 11, avoiding electrical faults such as conductor oxidation and short circuits caused by dust accumulation. This further improves the electrical performance stability and service life of the electric track, and works together with other parts of the track to continuously provide users with a safe and reliable power supply.
[0067] Furthermore, the rubber material itself has a certain degree of wear resistance, allowing it to withstand repeated plugging and unplugging operations without easily being damaged, thus extending the service life of the limiting component 6. At the same time, its soft texture also reduces wear on the adapter plug, protecting the adapter and lowering replacement costs for users due to equipment damage.
[0068] The top of both the front and rear sides of the insulating conductor seat 2 is provided with protrusions 25, and the inner wall of the track housing 1 is provided with grooves 12, which are fitted into the protrusions 25.
[0069] During installation, workers simply need to precisely align the protrusions 25 on both sides of the insulating conductor seat 2 with the grooves 12 on the inner wall of the track housing 1 and press gently to achieve a tight fit. Compared to traditional simple fixing methods, the tight engagement between the protrusions 25 and the grooves 12 in this solution ensures the stable position of the insulating conductor seat 2, guarantees the integrity of the internal structure of the power track, and lays a solid foundation for stable current transmission.
[0070] The insulating conductor seat 2 has an arc surface on the side wall of the second opening 21. The arc surface is inclined from top to bottom towards the center, and the second opening 21 has a structure that is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top.
[0071] As the adapter gradually penetrates into the insulated conductor socket 2, the arc surface will naturally guide the plug to slide in, allowing for quick and accurate plug insertion even in poor lighting conditions or when the user's operation is not precise enough.
[0072] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without any inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
