Detailed Implementation

[0027] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This embodiment provides a rotating conductive structure for a track joint, such as... Figures 1 to 7 The device includes a housing 1, a rotating assembly, and a conductive assembly. The rotating assembly includes a rotating locking plate 2, a rotating column 3, a left movable block 4, a right movable block 5, and a reset component 6. The rotating locking plate 2 is mounted on the rotating column 3 and is used to drive the rotation of the rotating column 3. The left movable block 4 and the right movable block 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating column 3. The rotating column 3 has two protruding protrusions 7, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating column 3. The left movable block 4 has a left movable groove 8, and the right movable block 5 has a right movable groove 9. The two protrusions 7 move in the left movable groove 8 and the right movable groove 9, respectively. The reset component 6 is located between the left movable block 4 and the right movable block 5.

[0029] The conductive component includes a plurality of conductive sheets 10, the left movable block 4 is equipped with the conductive sheets 10, and the right movable block 5 is equipped with the conductive sheets 10; the outer shell 1 is provided with a through groove 11 for the conductive sheets 10 to protrude.

[0030] When the rotating column 3 is controlled to rotate, the protrusion 7 rotates around the rotating column 3. When the rotating column 3 rotates to the position where the left movable block 4 and the right movable block 5 are at their farthest distance, the conductive plate 10 mounted on the left movable block 4 and the conductive plate 10 mounted on the right movable block 5 both protrude from the through groove 11 to be electrically connected to the external guide rail. When the positions of the two protrusions 7 continue to move, so that the distance between the left movable block 4 and the right movable block 5 is not at its farthest, the reset member 6 is used to reset the left movable block 4 and the right movable block 5 so that the conductive plate 10 moves into the outer shell 1.

[0031] The left movable groove 8 includes a left arc-shaped groove 12 and a left straight groove 13 that are interconnected. The bottom of the left arc-shaped groove 12 is arc-shaped, and the bottom of the left straight groove 13 is tangent to the bottom of the left arc-shaped groove 12. The right movable groove 9 includes a right arc-shaped groove 14 and a right straight groove 15 that are interconnected. The bottom of the right arc-shaped groove 14 is arc-shaped, and the bottom of the right straight groove 15 is tangent to the bottom of the right arc-shaped groove 14.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outer casing 1 and the through groove 11 provided on the outer casing 1 in this embodiment are prior art; the through groove 11 only needs to be able to cooperate with the conductive sheet 10. For example... Figure 1 As shown, when the rotating locking piece 2 is fixed to the outer casing 1, the position of the rotating column 3 relative to the left movable block 4 and the right movable block 5 is as follows: Figure 2As shown, one protrusion 7 is located at the junction of the left arc-shaped groove 12 and the left straight groove 13, and another protrusion 7 is located at the junction of the right arc-shaped groove 14 and the right straight groove 15. That is, at this time, the protrusion 7 is located in the middle of the left movable block 4 and the right movable block 5, where the distance between the left movable block 4 and the right movable block 5 is the greatest. Driven by the protrusion 7, the left movable block 4 and the right movable block 5 move away from the rotating column 3 (until the distance between them is the greatest), thereby driving one end of the conductive sheet 10 to move outside the through groove 11 and contact the external guide rail for energization. The other end of the conductive sheet 10 is located inside the outer casing 1, used to provide contact and conductivity for the control circuit board and other components inside the outer casing 1. At this time, the reset member 6 is in a compressed state because the rotating locking piece 2 is locked in the groove of the outer casing 1. Therefore, the rotating column 3 will not rotate, and the positions of the left movable block 4 and the right movable block 5 are fixed, maintaining the conductive function of the conductive sheet 10. When it is necessary to release the contact between the conductive sheet 10 and the external guide rail, the rotating locking piece 2 is turned to disengage it from the groove. The rotating locking piece 2 can then be rotated, causing the rotating column 3 to rotate, which in turn rotates the two protrusions 7. This means that the left movable block 4 and the right movable block 5 are no longer restricted by the protrusions 7. Therefore, with the assistance of the reset piece 6, both the left and right movable blocks 4 and 5 rotate towards the rotating column 3, thereby moving the conductive sheet 10 into the housing 1, completing the release from the guide rail. The rotating module in this embodiment has a simple structure. The rotation of the rotating column 3 controls the movement of the left and right movable blocks 4 and 5, achieving conductive connection or disconnection. Furthermore, the structures of the left and right movable blocks 4 and 5 are simple, making the rotating module easy to install, improving production efficiency, and reducing production costs.

[0033] Furthermore, the structure of the left movable block 4 in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the structure of the right movable block 5 is the same as that of the left movable block 4. The left movable block 4 has a left conductive groove 16 for assembling the conductive sheet 10, and the right movable block 5 has a right conductive groove for assembling the conductive sheet 10. The left movable block 4 has a left slot 18, and the right movable block 5 has a right slot 19. The left slot 18 and the right slot 19 form a slot for assembling the rotating column 3, which is easy to assemble.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 The left movable block 4 is equipped with a left reset block 20 at one end away from the through groove 11, and the right movable block 5 is equipped with a right reset block 21 at one end away from the through groove 11. The two ends of the reset member 6 abut against the left reset block 20 and the right reset block 21 respectively. The left movable block 4 is provided with a left hinge shaft 22, and the right movable block 5 is provided with a right hinge shaft. The left hinge shaft 22 and the right hinge shaft are used to hinge to the outer shell 1 or a hinge hole provided inside the outer shell 1.

[0035] Specifically, the reset element 6 is preferably a spring, which achieves its reset function through the cooperation of the left reset block 20 and the right reset block 21. Furthermore, to enable the left movable block 4 and the right movable block 5 to rotate normally, a left hinge shaft 22 and a right hinge shaft are provided. For example, a hinge hole can be provided inside the housing 1 so that the left movable block 4 can rotate along the left hinge shaft 22 and the right movable block 5 can rotate along the right hinge shaft, thereby maintaining the stability of the movement of the conductive sheet 10. Of course, the hinge hole can also be provided on other structures inside the housing 1, such as a switch structure (not shown in the attached figure), as long as the structure is adapted and stable.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a rotating protrusion 24 is provided on the top of the rotating column 3. The rotating locking plate 2 is hinged to the rotating protrusion 24. The outer shell 1 is provided with a groove. When the rotating locking plate 2 moves into the groove, one side of the rotating locking plate 2 is in contact with the bottom of the groove, and the other side of the rotating locking plate 2 is flush with the outer surface of the outer shell 1. Specifically, the hinge structure between the rotating locking plate 2 and the rotating protrusion 24 is prior art. When the rotating locking plate 2 rotates into the groove, it can lock with the rotating protrusion 24. Referring to the structure disclosed in patent CN202410554177.X, this embodiment will not elaborate further.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
