[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0048] Please see Figures 1-18As shown, this utility model discloses a track system, including a track module 100 and a load device (not shown) assembled on the track module 100. The load device includes, but is not limited to, lights, sensors, power supplies, etc. The track module 100 includes at least two track segments 10 and at least one electrical connector 20. The electrical connector 20 enables mechanical and electrical connection between two adjacent track segments 10, thereby energizing the load device assembled on the track segment 10. Users can set multiple track segments 10 according to their needs and splice them together using the electrical connector 20, thus allowing for reasonable planning of the track system layout based on space availability. Furthermore, the splicing shape of multiple track segments 10 can be flexibly designed according to the installation environment. For example, straight lines, rectangles, squares, etc.

[0049] Each track segment 10 includes a mechanical guide rail 11 and an electrical guide rail 12 located within the mechanical guide rail 11. Each mechanical guide rail 11 has a mounting slot 113 for mounting the electrical guide rail 12. The load device is mounted on the mechanical guide rail 11 and electrically connected to the electrical guide rail 12. Since the electrical guide rail 12 is disposed within the mechanical guide rail 11, both have the same length, width, and height directions. For ease of description, the length direction of the mechanical guide rail 11 is defined as the first direction, the height direction as the second direction, and the width direction as the third direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the mechanical guide rail 11 is used for installation on the walls or ceilings of a building and is generally made of metal. The mechanical guide rail 11 includes a bottom wall 111 and two side walls 112 arranged along the length of the bottom wall 111 on both sides. A mounting groove 113 is formed between the bottom wall 111 and the side walls 112. In this embodiment, the mounting groove 113 is approximately U-shaped. This makes the rail as a whole strip, which is easier to grip and install. The mounting groove 113 has a downward-facing mounting opening. The power rail 12 is preferably slidably installed into the mounting groove 113 of the mechanical guide rail 11 from one end of the mounting opening. Further, the ends of the two side walls 112 of the mechanical guide rail 11 near the bottom wall 111 protrude into the mounting groove 113 to form abutment protrusions 114. These abutment protrusions 114 are used to fix the power rail 12, so that the power rail 12 can be installed into the mounting groove 113 of the mechanical guide rail 11 without tools.

[0051] like Figure 4As shown, the power rail 12 comprises a carrier 121 having a first bottom surface and a second bottom surface. The first bottom surface and the second bottom surface are oppositely arranged, and the first bottom surface is arranged towards the bottom wall 111, and the second bottom surface is arranged away from the mechanical rail 11 and towards the mounting opening. The carrier 121 is provided with abutting portions 124 for clamping with the abutting protrusions 114 of the mechanical rail 11, so as to fix the power rail 12 into the assembly groove 113 of the mechanical rail 11. When the two abutting portions 124 are clamped onto the two abutting protrusions 114, the boss 125 protruding on the first bottom surface abuts against the bottom wall 111, so as to install the power rail 12 onto the mechanical rail 11 in a tool-free manner. In other embodiments, the power rail 12 can also be installed onto the mechanical rail 11 in other manners. For example, screws or welding, etc., which are not limited in the utility model.

[0052] As shown, Figure 4 The second bottom surface of the carrier 121 is protrudingly provided with a plurality of profiles 122 and a plurality of electric conductors 123 arranged on the profiles 122. Specifically, the plurality of profiles 122 are arranged on the second bottom surface and extend away from the first bottom surface. Among them, the carrier 121 and the profiles 122 are both made of insulating materials, for example, plastics. The electric conductors 123 are made of conductive metal materials, for example, copper or copper alloy. In the embodiment, the carrier 121, the profiles 122 and the electric conductors 123 all extend in the first direction. The carrier 121, the profiles 122 and the electric conductors 123 are integrally injection molded or extruded. In this way, the process is reduced and the cost is lowered.

[0053] In the embodiment, the power rail 12 is integrally arranged in a comb shape. The profiles 122 are arranged at intervals along the third direction. In the third direction, a gap is formed between two adjacent profiles 122. The side surface of the profile 122 towards the gap is provided with a groove 1221 for accommodating the electric conductor 123. A plurality of electric conductors 123 are arranged in the corresponding grooves 1221, so as to take power on the inner side of the gap. The profile 122 is provided with at least one groove 1221. The groove 1221 is configured on the side surface of each profile 122. The groove 1221 communicates with the gap. The grooves 1221 on the two adjacent profiles 122 towards the same gap are staggered with each other. The electric conductor 123 is accommodated in the groove 1221 and is at least exposed to the gap, so as to realize electrical connection with the electric connector 20 or the load device.

[0054] In the embodiment, each profile 122 is provided with two grooves 1221 having opposite opening directions and height difference. That is, the two grooves 1221 having opposite opening directions are staggered with each other in the second direction. One of the two grooves 1221 opens towards the gap, and the other opens away from the gap. The two grooves 1221 on the adjacent profiles 122 and having the same distance from the carrier 121 have the same opening direction. The electrical conductor 123 is arranged in the groove 1221. Therefore, the connection line between the electrical conductors 123 having the same distance from the carrier 121 is a straight line, and the situation of disordered circuit can be avoided. In the embodiment, the electrical conductors 123 are arranged in two rows. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the electrical conductors 123 can be arranged in one row or multiple rows according to specific requirements, and a single groove 1221 or multiple grooves 1221 communicating with the gap for mounting the electrical conductor 123 are arranged on each profile 122, which is not limited.

[0055] As shown in Figure 6 Each electrical connector 20 includes two electrical connection parts 21 corresponding to the two power rails 12 in the first direction. The two electrical connection parts 21 are respectively arranged in the corresponding power rail 12 and electrically connected with the electrical conductor 123. The two electrical connection parts 21 of the electrical connector 20 can realize the mechanical and electrical connection between the two adjacent track segments 10, which is simple and convenient to operate. Specifically, the electrical connector 20 is configured to be pivotable relative to the corresponding track segment 10 about the first direction, and the two electrical connection parts 21 are configured to be electrically connected or separated with the electrical conductor 123 in the corresponding power rail 12 along the second direction perpendicular to the first direction in the state that the two adjacent track segments 10 are butted along the first direction, so as to realize the mechanical and electrical connection or isolation between the two adjacent track segments 10. By arranging the pivotable electrical connector 20, the electrical connection or isolation between the multiple track segments 10 can be quickly realized, and the installation and disassembly efficiency of the track module 100 can be improved.

[0056] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, in the present embodiment, the track module 100 further comprises a connecting plate 30 connecting two adjacent track sections 10. The connecting plate 30 is protrudingly arranged at one end of one of the track sections 10. The electrical connector 20 is mounted at one end of the connecting plate 30. The electrical connector 20 is pivotable relative to the connecting plate 30 about a first direction to be inserted into the power rail 12 of the adjacent track section 10 to be electrically connected with the corresponding electrical conductor 123. The connecting plate 30 is located between the mechanical rail 11 and the power rail 12, and the power rail 12 extends to the connecting plate 30. The electrical connector 20 and the corresponding power rail 12 are protrudingly arranged at the corresponding mechanical rail 11 through the connecting plate 30. The corresponding power rail 12 on the other adjacent track section 10 is recessively arranged at the corresponding mechanical rail 11 to reserve a space for the connecting plate 30 to be inserted. Preferably, the end of the connecting plate 30 close to the electrical connector 20 also reserves a space for the corresponding power rail 12 to extend into. The two adjacent track sections 10 are inserted into place along the first direction by inserting the connecting plate 30 into the adjacent mechanical rail 11. That is, the connecting plate 30 has the same shape as the mechanical rail 11 and can be inserted into the mechanical rail 11 from the longitudinal direction of the mechanical rail 11, thereby realizing the mechanical connection of the two track sections 10.

[0057] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the electrical connector 20 can also be directly pivotably mounted at one end of the mechanical rail 11 of one of the track sections 10, and the one end of the mechanical rail 11 can be inserted into the mechanical rail 11 of the adjacent track section 10, thereby realizing the mechanical connection and electrical connection of the two track sections 10.

[0058] As shown, Figure 5 The connecting plate 30 comprises a bottom plate 31 and two side plates 32 arranged at both sides of the bottom plate 31. Among them, the bottom plate 31 abuts against the bottom wall 111 of the mechanical rail 11, and the end of the bottom plate 31 away from the electrical connector 20 abuts against the boss 125 on the first bottom surface of the carrier 121. The two side plates 32 are provided with abutting grooves 33 at the positions close to the abutting protrusions 114 of the mechanical rail 11 to match the side walls 112 of the mechanical rail 11. Preferably, the two side walls 112 of the mechanical rail 11 are bent to form clamping grooves 115 into the assembly grooves 113 at the ends away from the bottom wall 111. The end portions of the two side plates 32 are clamped into the clamping grooves 115 of the mechanical rail 11. Through the abutment of the bottom plate 31 and the bottom wall 111 and the abutment of the end portions of the side plates 32 and the clamping grooves 115, the connecting plate 30 and the mechanical rail 11 are limitedly clamped in the second direction.

[0059] As shown, Figures 6-8 and Figures 13-14As shown, the electrical connector 20 includes a plurality of connecting pieces 22 adapted with the plurality of electrical conductors 123, a connecting seat 23 for accommodating the connecting pieces 22, and a cover plate 24 connected with the connecting seat 23 to limit the connecting pieces 22 in the connecting seat 23. The connecting pieces 22 are spaced apart from each other, and the two ends of the connecting pieces 22 are exposed to the connecting seat 23 to be electrically connected with the corresponding electrical conductors 123 in the power rail 12. Since the plurality of electrical conductors 123 in the power rail 12 are arranged in two rows, the plurality of connecting pieces 22 are also arranged in two groups. The two groups of connecting pieces 22 are arranged staggered in the first direction. In this way, the two ends of the connecting pieces 22 can be in electrical contact with the corresponding electrical conductors 123.

[0060] Specifically, the electrical connector 20 is a pivotable connector. During the rotation of the electrical connector 20, it has a connected position and a disconnected position. In the connected position, as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 17 As shown, the two electrical connecting parts 21 of the electrical connector 20 are in electrical contact with the corresponding electrical conductors 123, thereby realizing the electrical connection of the two power rails 12. In the disconnected position, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 18 As shown, the two electrical connecting parts 21 of the electrical connector 20 are electrically isolated from the electrical conductors 123 of the corresponding power rail 12. Not only does it ensure the safety of the installation of the track system, but it also enables quick disconnection. Through this simplified connection step, the installation process is more intuitive and easy to operate, reducing the need for professional installers and saving installation time and cost.

[0061] The track module 100 of the utility model, when installing, only needs to pivot the electrical connector 20 to the connected position to realize electrical connection, which is convenient and time-saving. Moreover, only in the connected position, the two adjacent track sections 10 can realize electrical connection, which increases the safety during installation and maintenance and reduces the risk of electric shock. When the track module 100 needs to be maintained or upgraded, the electrical connector 20 is pivoted to the disconnected position to realize quick disconnection, which is convenient for replacing the load equipment and module maintenance. In addition, the pivotable electrical connector 20 enables the track module 100 to adapt to different installation environments and lighting needs, providing greater flexibility and adaptability.

[0062] As shown in Figures 6-8As shown, in the embodiment one of the utility model, two electric connection parts 21 of electric connector 20 are located at the same side of connecting seat 23 and extend to the same direction. Specifically, connecting seat 23 includes two end parts and middle part arranged along the first direction. Cover plate 24 and connecting seat 23 are arranged along the second direction, that is, connecting seat 23 is arranged towards power rail 12, and cover plate 24 is arranged away from power rail 12. Connecting seat 23 and cover plate 24 are both insulating materials, and the accommodation space 25 for partially accommodating the connecting piece 22 is formed between connecting seat 23 and cover plate 24. Optionally, connecting seat 23 and cover plate 24 can be detachably connected. Of course, in other embodiments, connecting seat 23 and cover plate 24 can also be integrally formed.

[0063] The accommodation space 25 is provided with a plurality of partitions 231 for spacing the connecting pieces 22. The connecting pieces 22 are partially accommodated in the accommodation space 25 along the first direction, and different groups of connecting pieces 22 are oppositely arranged, so that the two end parts of different groups of connecting pieces 22 are oppositely arranged in the first direction. Preferably, two connecting pieces 22 of different groups are located on the opposite sides of the corresponding partition 231, that is, a plurality of connecting pieces 22 of the same group are located on the same side of the corresponding partition 231. Of course, in other optional embodiments, when only a single row of several electric conductors 123 is arranged in the power rail 12, only one group of connecting pieces 22 is arranged, and the plurality of connecting pieces 22 of the single group does not have the problem of oppositely arranged.

[0064] The side of connecting seat 23 away from cover plate 24 is provided with a plurality of apertures 232 for the two end parts of each connecting piece 22 to protrude, so that each connecting piece 22 is electrically connected with the corresponding electric conductor 123 respectively. The two end parts of each connecting piece 22 are preferably located on the side of connecting seat 23 away from cover plate 24, and are arranged close to the two end parts of connecting seat 23 respectively.

[0065] The side of connecting seat 23 towards power rail 12 is provided with a plurality of spaced apart plug boards 233, and the connecting pieces 22 protrude from the accommodation space 25 and are arranged on the corresponding plug boards 233. The plurality of plug boards 233 extend away from the cover plate 24 along the second direction, so that the plug boards 233 can be inserted into the gap between the adjacent profiles 122 of the power rail 12 along the second direction. The plug boards 233 are spaced and symmetrically arranged relative to the middle part of the connecting seat 23 in the first direction, and the plug boards 233 are preferably arranged close to the two end parts of the connecting seat 23 to correspond to the two end parts of the connecting pieces 22. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the plug boards 233 can directly extend from one end part of the connecting seat 23 to the other end part, that is, the plug boards 233 are connected and arranged at the middle part of the connecting seat 23.

[0066] In the first embodiment, the electrical connection part 21 is formed by the plug plate 233 and the end of the connecting piece 22, and the two ends of the connecting piece 22 are inserted into the corresponding power rail 12 along with the plug plate 233 and are in electrical contact with the electrical conductor 123. The plug plate 233 is provided with a receiving groove 2331 in communication with the through hole 232. The two ends of the connecting piece 22 extend into the receiving groove 2331 and partially protrude from the receiving groove 2331, so that when the plug plate 233 is inserted into the corresponding power rail 12, the part of the connecting piece 22 protruding from the receiving groove 2331 can be in electrical contact with the corresponding electrical conductor 123. The two ends of the connecting piece 22 are bent to be provided with an electrical contact end 221, as shown in Figure 7 In the second direction, the ends of the connecting pieces 22 of different groups are arranged in a staggered manner on the same plug plate 233 and are located on opposite sides of the corresponding plug plate 233. The ends of the connecting pieces 22 of the same group are arranged in a flush manner and are located on the same side of the corresponding plug plate 233, so as to be in electrical contact with the electrical conductor 123 in the corresponding power rail 12 and prevent the electrical circuit from being disturbed.

[0067] As shown in Figures 11-16 The utility model also provides a second embodiment, which is different from the first embodiment in that the track module 100 further comprises at least one connecting terminal 40, and the two ends of the connecting piece 22 form two electrical connection parts 21. The connecting terminal 40 is arranged to be in electrical contact with the corresponding electrical connection part 21 of the electrical connector 20 and the electrical conductor 123 in the corresponding power rail 12. Specifically, the connecting terminal 40 comprises an intermediate piece 41 adapted to the connecting piece 22 and the electrical conductor 123, and a terminal seat 42 for accommodating the intermediate piece 41. One end of the intermediate piece 41 is in electrical contact with the end of the connecting piece 22, and the other end is in electrical contact with the electrical conductor 123. The intermediate piece 41 is arranged in the second direction and is partially exposed to the opposite ends of the terminal seat 42, respectively. The intermediate pieces 41 are arranged in two groups, and each group of intermediate pieces 41 is arranged to be spaced apart from each other. The intermediate pieces 41 of different groups are arranged in a staggered manner in the first direction, and the ends of the intermediate pieces 41 of different groups in electrical contact with the ends of the connecting pieces 22 are arranged in a flush manner in the second direction, and the other ends in electrical contact with the electrical conductor 123 are arranged in a staggered manner. In this way, the electrical connection between the intermediate piece 41 and the corresponding connecting piece 22 and the electrical conductor 123 can be ensured to be correct, and the stability of the electrical connection can be ensured.

[0068] Preferably, one electrical connector 20 is provided with two connecting terminals 40. The connecting terminal 40 is inserted and fixed on the power rail 12 of the adjacent two track segments 10. In the second embodiment, as shown in Figures 13-16As shown, the side of the connecting seat 23 facing the power rail 12 is not provided with the plug-in plate 233. Instead, the side of the connecting terminal 40 facing the power rail 12 is provided with a plurality of fixed plates 421 arranged at intervals. The fixed plates 421 have substantially the same structure as the plug-in plate 233 in the first embodiment, and thus will not be described herein. The intermediate piece 41 is inserted into the corresponding power rail 12 following the fixed plates 421 and is in electrical contact with the electrical conductor 123. The two end portions of the connecting piece 22 are exposed to the connecting seat 23 and are in direct electrical contact with the intermediate piece 41, and the end portions of the two groups of connecting pieces 22 are arranged in the second direction in a flush manner.

[0069] In other optional embodiments, one electrical connector 20 can also be equipped with one connecting terminal 40. At this time, the connecting terminal 40 is inserted and fixed on the power rail 12 of an adjacent track segment 10. One electrical connecting portion 21 of the electrical connector 20 is formed by one end portion of the connecting piece 22 and is in electrical connection with the connecting terminal 40; the other electrical connecting portion 21 of the electrical connector 20 is formed by the plug-in plate 233 and the other end portion of the connecting piece 22 and is inserted into the corresponding power rail 12 to be in electrical connection with the electrical conductor 123. That is, one end of the electrical connector 20 is directly in electrical connection with one power rail 12 through the electrical connecting portion 21, and the other end of the electrical connector 20 is connected to the connecting terminal 40 through the electrical connecting portion 21, thereby indirectly being in electrical connection with the other power rail 12.

[0070] In the second embodiment, the connecting piece 22 of the electrical connector 20 that is in electrical connection with the connecting terminal 40 is a plug pin extending out of the connecting seat 23. The terminal seat 42 of the connecting terminal 40 is correspondingly provided with a receiving groove 422 for the plug pin to be inserted into and in electrical contact with the corresponding intermediate piece 41. The plug pin is exposed and includes a curved electrical contact end 221, as shown. Figure 14 The center of the curvature of the electrical contact end 221 is used to contact the corresponding intermediate piece 41 when extending into the receiving groove 422 to achieve electrical connection. In this way, the contact between the connecting piece 22 and the intermediate piece 41 can be more intimate, and the stability of the electrical connection can be improved. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the intermediate piece 41 can be provided with a plug hole for the plug pin to be inserted into, so as to improve the stability of the electrical connection. Preferably, the connecting seat 23 of the electrical connector 20 is provided with a protruding counter plug groove (not shown), the plug pin is received in the counter plug groove, and the plug pin is arranged at an interval from the inner peripheral wall of the counter plug groove. The receiving groove 422 protrudes from the terminal seat 42 of the connecting terminal 40, and the intermediate piece 41 of the connecting terminal 40 extends into the receiving groove 422. When the receiving groove 422 and the counter plug groove are inserted and fitted, the plug pin and the plug hole formed by the intermediate piece 41 are in electrical contact, thereby achieving electrical connection between the electrical connector 20 and the connecting terminal 40. In this way, the plug pin and the intermediate piece 41 can be mechanically connected with increased strength through the insertion and fitting of the receiving groove 422 and the counter plug groove.

[0071] In some embodiments, the middle piece 41 of the connecting terminal 40 can also be provided with a pin extending out of the terminal seat 42, and the connecting seat 23 of the electric connector 20 is correspondingly provided with a receiving groove (not shown) for the pin to be inserted into and contact the corresponding connecting piece 22. However, this is not limited. At this time, in order to improve the stability of the electrical connection, the connecting piece 22 can be provided with a socket for the pin to be inserted into. Preferably, the terminal seat 42 of the connecting terminal 40 is provided with a protruding counter-groove (not shown), the pin is received in the counter-groove, and the pin is arranged in a spaced manner with the inner peripheral wall of the counter-groove. The receiving groove protrudes out of the connecting seat 23 of the electric connector 20, and the connecting piece 22 of the electric connector 20 extends into the receiving groove. When the receiving groove and the counter-groove are inserted and fitted, the pin and the socket formed by the connecting piece 22 are in electrical contact, thereby achieving electrical connection between the electric connector 20 and the connecting terminal 40 and increasing the mechanical connection strength.

[0072] As shown in Figures 6-7 and Figures 13-14 , the electric connector 20 is provided with a pivoting portion 26 and a holding portion 27 arranged opposite to the pivoting portion 26. The pivoting portion 26 can be flipped along a rotation axis parallel to the first direction. For example, the rotation axis can be a line between the two pivoting portions 26 as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 13 . In the embodiment, the electric connector 20 is pivotally connected to the connecting plate 30 through the pivoting portion 26, so that the electric connector 20 can be flipped relative to the connecting plate 30 along the rotation axis, thereby quickly switching between the connected position and the disconnected position. The holding portion 27 is configured to be rotatable relative to the pivoting portion 26 about the rotation axis by driving, so as to facilitate switching of the electric connector 20 between the connected position and the disconnected position. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the pivoting portion 26 can also be flipped along other feasible rotation axes, which is not limited.

[0073] Specifically, the pivoting portion 26 is located at the side of the connecting seat 23 and extends towards a side plate 32 of the connecting plate 30, and the connecting seat 23 is pivotable relative to the corresponding track section 10 through the pivoting portion 26. As shown in Figure 6 , the pivoting portion 26 includes two lugs protruding on the connecting seat 23. The lugs extend towards a side plate 32 of the connecting plate 30, and the lugs are provided with rotation holes. As shown in Figure 5 , a cooperating portion 321 is provided on a side plate 32 of the connecting plate 30 at a position corresponding to the pivoting portion 26. The cooperating portion 321 includes two protruding columns extending in the first direction. The two protruding columns are respectively inserted into the rotation holes of the two lugs, thereby realizing the pivoting portion 26 being pivotally connected to the connecting plate 30. It should be noted that the pivoting portion 26 can also be pivotally connected to the cooperating portion 321 of the connecting plate 30 in other ways, such as through a rotating shaft or the like.

[0074] The utility model does not limit this.

[0075] The holding portion 27 is located on the end of the cover plate 24 away from the pivot portion 26 along the third direction. By rotating the electrical connector 20 along the second direction (e.g. counterclockwise in FIGS. Figure 10 and Figure 18 the holding portion 27) with the holding portion 27, the electrical connector 20 is located in the connecting position, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the two power rails 12. Conversely, by flipping the electrical connector 20 along the direction opposite to the second direction (e.g. clockwise in FIGS. Figure 9 and Figure 17 the holding portion 27) with the holding portion 27, the electrical connector 20 is changed from the connecting position to the disconnecting position, thereby realizing the quick disconnection between the two power rails 12.

[0076] In summary, the track module 100 of the present application sets the electrical connector 20 to be pivotable about the first direction, so that the two electrical connection portions 21 of the electrical connector 20 can be electrically connected to the electrical conductor 123 in the corresponding power rail 12 along the second direction perpendicular to the first direction in the state that the two adjacent track segments 10 are butted along the first direction, thereby realizing the mechanical and electrical connection between the two adjacent track segments 10. In this way, the mechanical and electrical connection between the two adjacent track segments 10 can be realized only by rotating the electrical connector 20 along the first direction, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0077] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and not to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
