Description

A rail socket structure Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of guide rail socket technology, and in particular to a guide rail socket structure. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, the number of electronic products and appliances used is increasing. At the same time, the number of household sockets is insufficient to meet the demand. Adding power strips can lead to messy wires and affect aesthetics. However, DIN rail sockets can provide more sockets without adding power strips, thus meeting the demand for more sockets at once.

[0003] A typical DIN rail power strip consists of a rail module and a socket module. The rail module has a track, on which one or more socket modules are mounted. The socket modules can slide along the length of the track to adjust their position. When the socket module is on the track, its position is not fixed because it needs to slide. When it is necessary to fix the socket module in a specific position, it may move with the movement of electrical appliances, causing inconvenience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a guide rail socket structure.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A guide rail socket structure includes: a guide rail module and a socket module. The guide rail module includes a rail, and the socket module has one or more socket modules disposed on the rail. The socket module is slidable along the length direction of the rail. The rail has a strip-shaped slot along its length direction, and the socket module is inserted into the strip-shaped slot. The socket module has a fixing component for fixing to the strip-shaped slot. The socket module includes a base and a plug-in portion. The plug-in portion is inserted into the strip-shaped slot. The fixing component includes a pushing portion passing through the base and two hook portions disposed on one side of the pushing portion. The pushing portion has a connecting portion on one side facing the two hook portions. The two connecting portions are slidably disposed in the base. The pushing portion can push the two connecting portions to slide so that the two hook portions hook into the strip-shaped slot.

[0007] In one embodiment, the base is provided with a groove at the position of each of the two connecting parts, and the two connecting parts are slidably disposed in the two grooves respectively.

[0008] In one embodiment, the strip slot is provided with two limiting strips, and there is a gap between the two limiting strips. The socket module is inserted between the two limiting strips, and both hooks are used to hook onto the limiting strips.

[0009] In one embodiment, the socket module further includes a housing that covers the base.

[0010] In one embodiment, a pressing part is provided on the side of the pushing part away from the two hooking parts. The pressing part is located outside the housing. A through groove is provided on the housing relative to the position of the pressing part. The pressing part extends out of the housing through the through groove. The pressing part is used to push the pushing part to control the two hooking parts to release or hook the limiting strip.

[0011] In one embodiment, a spring is provided between the pressing part and the pushing part. One end of the spring is connected to the pushing part, and the other end of the spring is connected to the side of the pressing part facing the pushing part. The spring is elastic. When the pressing part is pressed to compress the spring, the pushing part pushes the two connecting parts to release the two hooking parts.

[0024] 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.

[0025] A guide rail socket structure, referring to Figures 1 and 2, includes a guide rail module 10 and a socket module 20. The guide rail module 10 includes a cover 11, a rail 13, junction boxes 14 disposed at both ends of the rail 13, and a bottom shell 12. The rail 13 is housed within the bottom shell 12, and both ends of the bottom shell 12 are respectively connected to two junction boxes 14. The cover 11 covers the bottom shell 12 and the two junction boxes 14. The cover 11 is made of one of the following materials: plastic, glass, or metal. One or more socket modules 20 are provided, and the socket modules 20 are disposed on the rail 13 and can move along the length of the rail 13. The rail 13 is used to adjust the position of one or more socket modules 20. The track 13 has a strip-shaped slot 131 along its length. Two limiting strips 1311 are provided within the strip-shaped slot 131, each matching the length of the slot. A gap exists between the two limiting strips 1311. The socket module 20 is inserted between the two limiting strips 1311 to fit within the strip-shaped slot 131. It should be noted that the limiting strips 1311 are made of silicone, which facilitates insertion of the socket module 20 into the strip-shaped slot 131 while simultaneously limiting its position, preventing displacement. The socket module 20 is provided with a fixing component 30 for securing it to the strip-shaped slot 131. The fixing component 30 secures the socket module 20 in its position on the strip-shaped slot 131, facilitating its use when fixed to a specific installation location.

[0026] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the track 13 is provided with a power supply circuit 132 for supplying power to each socket module 20. The power supply circuit 132 includes a neutral wire conductive strip 1321, a ground wire conductive strip 1322, and a live wire conductive strip 1323. The neutral wire conductive strip 1321 and the live wire conductive strip 1323 are respectively installed on both sides of the track 13 relative to the strip slot 131, and both the neutral wire conductive strip 1321 and the live wire conductive strip 1323 are located below the track 13. The ground wire conductive strip 1322 is located between the neutral wire conductive strip 1321 and the live wire conductive strip 1323, and is located below the neutral wire conductive strip 1321 and the live wire conductive strip 1323. The ground wire conductive strip 1322 is located on the bottom shell 12. It should be noted that the neutral wire conductive strip 1321, the ground wire conductive strip 1322, and the live wire conductive strip 1323 are connected to the neutral wire, the ground wire, and the live wire, respectively. Junction box 14 is equipped with terminals that connect one-to-one with the neutral wire conductive strip 1321, ground wire conductive strip 1322, and live wire conductive strip 1323. The neutral wire conductive strip 1321, ground wire conductive strip 1322, and live wire conductive strip 1323 can be connected to the power grid through the terminals. Junction box 14 is used to control the on / off state of the power supply circuit 132. The control circuit inside junction box 14 is an existing circuit and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] Referring to Figures 2 and 4, the socket module 20 includes a housing 21, a base 22, a plug-in portion 23, and conductive portions 24. The housing 21 covers the base 22 and rotatably engages with it. The housing 21 has a two-prong socket 211 and a three-prong socket 212 for inserting a power supply device. The plug-in portion 23 is located at the bottom of the base 22, and the base 22 and the plug-in portion 23 are integrally formed. The plug-in portion 23 is adapted to the position of the strip slot 131 and is used to insert between the two limiting strips 1311. The plug-in portion 23 can slide along the length of the track 13 to adjust the position of the socket module 20. There are three conductive portions 24, which are used to make contact with the power supply circuit 132 for conduction.

[0028] Further, referring to Figures 4 and 5, the fixing component 30 includes a pushing part 31 passing through the base 22 and two hooking parts 32 provided on one side of the pushing part 31. The pushing part 31 is provided with a connecting part 33 on one side facing the two hooking parts 32, and the two connecting parts 33 are slidably disposed in the base 22.

[0029] Furthermore, the base 22 has grooves 221 at positions relative to the two connecting parts 33, allowing the two connecting parts 33 to slide within the two grooves 221 respectively. The two hooking parts 32 are located in the middle of the socket module 20. The hooking positions of the two hooking parts 32 are the same, and the pushing part 31 can push the two connecting parts 33 to slide along the length of the grooves 221 so that when the socket module 20 is installed on the track 13, the two hooking parts 32 hook onto the same limiting strip 1311, thus fixing the position of the socket module 20 on the track 13. It should be noted that, since the socket module 20 is circular, to ensure that the two hooking parts 32 are on the same straight line, the lengths of the connecting parts 33 connected to the two hooking parts 32 are different, and the corresponding lengths of the grooves 221 are also different, so that the two hooking parts 32 always remain on the same straight line when sliding.

[0030] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, a pressing part 34 is provided on the side of the pushing part 31 away from the two hooking parts 32. The pressing part 34 is located outside the outer casing 21. A through groove 213 is provided on the outer casing 21 relative to the position of the pressing part 34. The pressing part 34 extends out of the outer casing 21 through the through groove 213 and is connected to the pushing part 31. The pressing part 34 is used to push the pushing part 31 to control the two hooking parts 32, and to control the position of the two hooking parts 32 to release or hook the limiting strip 1311.

[0031] Specifically, a spring 35 is provided between the pressing part 34 and the pushing part 31. One end of the spring 35 is connected to the pushing part 31, and the other end of the spring 35 is connected to the side of the pressing part 34 facing the pushing part 31. The spring 35 is elastic. When the pressing part 34 is pressed, the pressing part 34 moves closer to the pushing part 31 to compress the spring 35, causing the pushing part 31 to push the two connecting parts 33 to release the two hooking parts 32. After the plugging part 23 is inserted into the strip slot 131, the pressing part 34 is released. Due to its elasticity, the spring 35 will automatically return to its original position, so that the two hooking parts 32 hook onto the limiting strip 1311 to fix the position of the socket module 20. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the socket module 20, the pressing part 34 is pressed to release the two hooking parts 32 from the limiting strip 1311, so that the socket module 20 can slide along the length of the track 13 to adjust its position. After adjusting the position, the pressing part 34 is released.

[0032] Further, referring to Figure 4, the three conductive parts 24 are in contact with the neutral wire conductive strip 1321, the ground wire conductive strip 1322, and the live wire conductive strip 1323, respectively. The three conductive parts 24 are the neutral wire connection pin 241, the ground wire contact head 242, and the live wire connection pin 243, respectively. The ground wire contact head 242 is located in the middle of the neutral wire connection pin 241 and the live wire connection pin 243. The ground wire contact head 242 is vertically arranged. A receiving groove 231 for accommodating the ground wire contact head 242 is provided between the base 22 and the plug-in part 23. The receiving groove 231 is opened along the length direction of the ground wire contact head 242, and the bottom side of the receiving groove 231 is connected to the outside. One end of the ground wire contact head 242 is connected to the base 22, and the other end of the ground wire contact head 242 passes through the receiving groove 231 and out of the receiving groove 231 so that the ground wire contact head 242 is electrically connected to the ground wire conductive strip 1322. It should be noted that the two hook parts 32 are located on both sides of the base 22 relative to the ground contact head 242.

[0033] Referring to Figures 4 and 6, one end of both the neutral wire connection pin 241 and the live wire connection pin 243 is connected to the base 22. Both the neutral wire connection pin 241 and the live wire connection pin 243 are L-shaped. The neutral wire connection pin 241 and the live wire connection pin 243 have the same shape and structure. The plug portion 23 is provided with a placement groove 232 at the position of the neutral wire connection pin 241 and the live wire connection pin 243. The placement groove 232 is L-shaped to accommodate the neutral wire connection pin 241 and the live wire connection pin 243 within the placement groove 232.

[0034] Referring to Figures 4 and 6, the neutral wire connection pin 241 includes a first fixing part 2411 and a first rotating part 2412. The first fixing part 2411 is vertically arranged, and one end of the first fixing part 2411 is connected to the base 22. A first rotating shaft 2413 is provided at the end of the first fixing part 2411 facing the first rotating part 2412. The first rotating part 2412 is perpendicular to the first fixing part 2411. The end of the first rotating part 2412 facing the first fixing part 2411 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 2413. The first rotating part 2412 is rotatably arranged on the first rotating shaft 2413 and can rotate relative to the first rotating shaft 2413. The first rotating part 2412 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 2413 to be accommodated in the placement groove 232 or away from the placement groove 232. The first rotating part 2412 has a first clamping part 2414 at one end away from the first rotating shaft 2413. The first clamping part 2414 has a U-shaped cross-section and is used to clamp onto the neutral wire conductive strip 1321 so that the neutral wire connection pin 241 and the neutral wire conductive strip 1321 are electrically connected. It should be noted that when the socket module 20 is installed on the guide rail module 10, the first rotating part 2412 of the neutral wire connection pin 241 rotates around the first rotating shaft 2413 out of the placement groove 232 until it rotates to the side facing the neutral wire conductive strip 1321. The first clamping part 2414 at one end of the first rotating part 2412 clamps onto the neutral wire conductive strip 1321 to achieve the electrical connection between the neutral wire connection pin 241 and the neutral wire conductive strip 1321.

[0035] Referring to Figures 4 and 6, the live wire connector 243 includes a second fixing part 2431 and a second rotating part 2432. The second fixing part 2431 is vertically arranged, and one end of the second fixing part 2431 is connected to the base 22. A second rotating shaft 2433 is provided at the end of the second fixing part 2431 facing the second rotating part 2432. The second rotating part 2432 is perpendicular to the second fixing part 2431. The end of the second rotating part 2432 facing the second fixing part 2431 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 2433. The second rotating part 2432 is rotatably arranged on the second rotating shaft 2433 and can rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 2433. The second rotating part 2432 can rotate around the second rotating shaft 2433 to be accommodated in the placement groove 232 or away from the placement groove 232. The second rotating part 2432 has a second clamping part 2434 at one end away from the second rotating shaft 2433. The cross-section of the second clamping part 2434 is U-shaped. The second clamping part 2434 is used to clamp onto the live wire conductive strip 1323 so that the live wire connection pin 243 and the live wire conductive strip 1323 are electrically connected. It should be noted that when the socket module 20 is installed on the guide rail module 10, the second rotating part 2432 of the live wire connection pin 243 rotates around the second rotating shaft 2433 out of the placement groove 232 until it rotates to the side facing the live wire conductive strip 1323. The second clamping part 2434 at one end of the second rotating part 2432 clamps onto the live wire conductive strip 1323 to achieve the electrical connection between the live wire connection pin 243 and the live wire conductive strip 1323.

[0036] It should be noted that the neutral wire connection pin 241 and the live wire connection pin 243 have a retracted state housed within the plug portion 23 and an extended state rotated out of the plug portion 23. When the neutral wire connection pin 241 and the live wire connection pin 243 are in the extended state, the neutral wire connection pin 241 and the live wire connection pin 243 are clamped with the neutral wire conductive strip 1321 and the live wire conductive strip 1323 respectively to form an electrical connection. At this time, the first rotating part 2412 of the neutral wire connection pin 241 and the second rotating part 2432 of the live wire connection pin 243 are arranged in opposite directions.

[0037] Furthermore, referring to Figures 4 and 6, conductive silver points 40 for clamping are provided on the upper and lower sides of the interior of the first clamping part 2414 and the second clamping part 2434. The conductive silver points 40 in the first clamping part 2414 and the second clamping part 2434 are used to contact the neutral wire conductive strip 1321 and the live wire conductive strip 1323 respectively to achieve conductive connection.

[0038] Furthermore, referring to Figures 4 and 6, both the neutral wire connection pin 241 and the live wire connection pin 243 are fitted with mounting sleeves 50. The mounting sleeves 50 facilitate the connection of the neutral wire connection pin 241 and the live wire connection pin 243 to the outer casing 21, and the mounting sleeves 50 provide insulation protection.

[0039] Further, referring to Figures 2 and 3, the outer periphery of the bottom shell 12 is provided with a plurality of connection positions 121. The plurality of connection positions 121 are distributed in the area of ​​the bottom shell 12 other than the two junction boxes 14, and the connection positions 121 extend outward from the bottom of the bottom shell 12. The connection positions 121 are provided with mounting holes for bolts or screws to pass through in order to fix the rail 13 socket structure in the required installation position.

[0040] This utility model provides a fixing component 30 on the socket module 20 and a limiting strip 1311 in the strip slot 131 of the rail 13 on the guide rail module 10. The cooperation between the fixing component 30 and the limiting strip 1311 can fix the position of the socket module 20 on the rail 13, so as to meet the user's need to fix the socket module 20 in a specific position for use. When the appliance is inserted into the socket module 20 for use, the socket module 20 is not easy to move, thereby improving the user experience. When it is necessary to move the socket module 20, simply press the pressing part 34 on the socket module 20, move the socket module 20, and then release the pressing part 34 to fix the socket module 20.

[0041] 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.
