[0026] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of this utility model will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] A guide rail structure for a guide rail socket, referring to Figures 1-3, includes a cover 10, a rail 20, junction boxes 30 located at both ends of the rail 20, and a base shell 40. The rail 20 is housed within the base shell 40, and both ends of the base shell 40 are connected to two junction boxes 30 respectively. The cover 10 covers the base shell 40 and the two junction boxes 30. A magnetic attraction component 50 is provided between the cover 10 and the base shell 40 for fixed connection. The magnetic attraction component 50 is used to magnetically fix the cover 10 and the base shell 40, thereby simplifying the installation or removal of the cover 10 and the base shell 40. It should be noted that the cover 10 covers the base shell 40 and the two junction boxes 30, and the side of the cover 10 facing the base shell 40 is open. The cover 10 is made of one of the following materials: plastic, glass, or metal.
[0028] Further referring to Figures 1-3, the magnetic attraction component 50 is located on the side of the faceplate 10 facing the bottom shell 40. The magnetic attraction component 50 includes multiple magnets 51, which are symmetrically distributed in two rows. The two rows of magnets 51 correspond to the positions of the two sides of the upper surface of the bottom shell 40 relative to the track 20, and both rows of magnets 51 are arranged along the length of the bottom shell 40. When the faceplate 10 is installed with the bottom shell 40, the faceplate 10 moves towards the bottom shell 40 until the faceplate 10 is attracted and fixed to the upper surface of the bottom shell 40. When it is necessary to remove the faceplate 10, it can be directly removed, which is convenient and quick. It should be noted that the bottom shell 40 is a metal bracket, and the bottom shell 40 can be attracted and fixed with the magnets 51.
[0029] Further, referring to Figures 1 and 3, the bottom shell 40 is C-shaped, with one side of the bottom shell 40 being an open end 41. The open end 41 of the bottom shell 40 faces the side of the face cover 10. Both sides of the bottom shell 40 opposite to the open end 41 are concave upward to form flat adsorption portions 42. The adsorption portions 42 on both sides of the bottom shell 40 opposite to the open end 41 are used to magnetically fix with the magnetic adsorption assembly 50 on the bottom side of the face cover 10.
[0030] Referring to Figures 1 and 3, a receiving groove 43 is formed inside the bottom shell 40, and the track 20 is received within the receiving groove 43. The upper surface of the track 20 communicates with the outside through the opening end 41 of the bottom shell 40. A strip-shaped slot 21 is provided along the length direction of the track 20. The strip-shaped slot 21 is used for inserting the socket module and is located outside the opening of the bottom shell 40. In this embodiment, the guide rail is used in conjunction with the socket module, which is inserted into the track 20. It should be noted that a clearance groove 11 is provided on the face cover 10 relative to the position of the strip-shaped slot 21, so that after the face cover 10 is placed on the bottom shell 40, the strip-shaped slot 21 communicates with the outside through the clearance groove 11, facilitating the insertion of the socket module.
[0031] Referring to Figures 3-5, the bottom shell 40 has openings at both ends. Each end of the bottom shell 40 is provided with a connecting assembly 60, which is respectively connected and fixed to two junction boxes 30. The connecting assembly 60 includes an extension 61, a plug-in piece 62 on the extension 61, and two connecting pieces 63. The extension 61 extends outward from the end of the bottom shell 40 and is integrally formed with the bottom side of the bottom shell 40. The plug-in piece 62 is provided on the extension 61 and is inverted L-shaped. The plug-in piece 62 has a vertical portion 621 and a horizontal portion 622. The vertical portion 621 of the plug-in piece 62 is connected to the extension 61, and the horizontal portion 622 of the plug-in piece 62 extends towards the junction box 30. The plug-in piece 62 is used to insert into the junction box 30 and is fixed by bolts.
[0032] Referring to Figures 3-5, the two connecting pieces 63 and the extension 61 are located on the same plane. The two connecting pieces 63 are located on both sides of the plug-in piece 62, extending towards the side closer to the junction box 30 and located at the bottom of the junction box 30. The two connecting pieces 63 are fixed to the junction box 30 by bolts. When both ends of the bottom shell 40 are connected to the two junction boxes 30 respectively, the plug-in piece 62 at the end of the bottom shell 40 is inserted into the junction box 30, and the two connecting pieces 63 are located at the bottom of the junction box 30, so that the connecting assembly 60 is snapped and fixed to the junction box 30. Then, bolts are passed through the plug-in piece 62 and the two connecting pieces 63 in sequence to achieve a fixed connection between the bottom shell 40 and the junction box 30.
[0033] Further, referring to Figures 2 and 3, the outer periphery of the base shell 40 is provided with a plurality of connection positions 44. These connection positions 44 are distributed in the area of the base shell 40 outside the two junction boxes 30, and extend outward from the bottom of the base shell 40. Mounting holes 441 are provided on the connection positions 44 for bolts or screws to pass through and fix the guide rail in the desired installation position. When it is necessary to fix the guide rail to the installation position, the cover 10 is removed, and bolts or screws are inserted into the mounting holes 441 on the multiple connection positions 44 to fix the guide rail to the installation position, such as on a wall. The cover 10 is then magnetically attached to the base to complete the installation.
[0034] Referring to Figures 3-6, the track 20 is equipped with a power supply circuit 70 for supplying power to the socket module. The power supply circuit 70 includes a neutral wire conductive strip 71, a ground wire conductive strip 72, and a live wire conductive strip 73. The neutral wire conductive strip 71 and the live wire conductive strip 73 are respectively installed on both sides of the track 20 relative to the strip-shaped slot 21, and both are located below the track 20. The ground wire conductive strip 72 is located between the neutral wire conductive strip 71 and the live wire conductive strip 73, and is located below the neutral wire conductive strip 71 and the live wire conductive strip 73, and is located on the bottom shell 40. It should be noted that the neutral wire conductive strip 71, the ground wire conductive strip 72, and the live wire conductive strip 73 are connected to the neutral wire, the ground wire, and the live wire, respectively. The number of conductive strips in the power supply circuit 70 is not limited to the above-described implementation. For example, in some cases, only two conductive strips may be used to draw power from the power grid. The neutral wire conductive strip 71, the ground wire conductive strip 72, and the live wire conductive strip 73 are all made of brass.
[0035] Further referring to Figures 3 and 4, the junction box 30 includes a junction box base 31 and a junction box cover 32 covering the junction box base 31. The junction box 30 is provided with terminals 33 that are connected one-to-one with the neutral wire conductive strip 71, the ground wire conductive strip 72, and the live wire conductive strip 73. The neutral wire conductive strip 71, the ground wire conductive strip 72, and the live wire conductive strip 73 can be connected to the power grid through the terminals 33. The junction box 30 is used to control the on / off state of the power supply circuit 70. The control circuit inside the junction box 30 is an existing circuit and will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that since the ground wire conductive strip 72 is located on the bottom shell 40, the ground wire conductive strip 72 is electrically connected to the plug-in piece 62 of the bottom shell 40. The ground wire conductive strip 72 is energized by connecting to the terminals 33 inside the junction box 30 through the plug-in piece 62 at the end of the bottom shell 40.
[0036] Further, referring to Figures 3-5, the bottom shell 40 is provided with insulating plates 80 on the sides facing the neutral wire conductive strip 71 and the live wire conductive strip 73, respectively. The lengths of the insulating plates 80 are adapted to those of the neutral wire conductive strip 71 and the live wire conductive strip 73. The insulating plates 80 serve to provide insulation, preventing the neutral wire conductive strip 71 and the live wire conductive strip 73 from directly contacting the metal bottom shell 40 and affecting the conductivity. It should be noted that both insulating plates 80 are engaged with the track 20, and the two insulating plates 80 are respectively engaged and fixed with the track 20 on both sides relative to the strip slot 21. Specifically, the track 20 has a engaging groove, and the insulating plate 80 has a engaging block on the side facing the track 20. The engaging block engages and is fixed with the engaging groove, so as to fix the insulating plate 80 to the bottom side of the track 20 and achieve the effect of isolating the power supply circuit 70 from the bottom shell 40.
[0037] This invention uses a magnetic attachment component 50 to magnetically connect the face cover 10 and the base shell 40. When the guide rail needs to be fixed to the installation position, the face cover 10 is removed, and bolts or screws are inserted into the mounting holes 441 on the multiple connection positions 44 to fix the guide rail to the installation position, such as on a wall. Then, the face cover 10 is magnetically attached to the base to complete the installation. When the face cover 10 needs to be removed to check the wiring inside the guide rail, the face cover 10 can be removed directly. This is convenient and quick, eliminating complicated installation and disassembly steps and improving work efficiency.
[0038] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
