Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical connection device technology, and more particularly to an electric rail and an electric rail socket. Background Technology

[0002] A power rail socket typically consists of an adapter and a power rail. The adapter is electrically connected to the power rail and can slide along the rail, allowing its position to be adjusted according to user needs. This flexibility allows the power rail socket to meet various user requirements for socket placement. If one adapter is insufficient, additional adapters can be added to the power rail to accommodate different needs. The power rail socket is electrically connected to the power supply line via the power rail, enabling it to provide power to electrical appliances.

[0003] Based on the existing structure of the power rail, when the power rail is connected to panel structures such as walls and desktops, the connection between the power rail and the panel structure can only be achieved through threaded parts, making the connection method between the power rail and the panel structure relatively simple. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a power rail and a power rail socket, which expands the connection methods between the power rail and the panel structure, improves the assembly flexibility of the power rail socket, and allows operators to select the corresponding connection method between the power rail and the panel structure according to user needs.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides an electric track. The electric track includes a housing, a fixing connector, a snap-fit ​​connector, and a first connecting member. The fixing connector is fixedly connected to one side of the housing and includes a snap-fit ​​portion and a fixing portion spaced apart. The snap-fit ​​connector is used to fixally connect to a panel structure, and the snap-fit ​​connector snaps into the snap-fit ​​portion. The first connecting member passes through the fixing portion and is connected to the panel structure. The electric track is connected to the panel structure via the engagement of the snap-fit ​​portion and the snap-fit ​​connector, or the electric track is connected to the panel structure via the engagement of the fixing portion and the first connecting member.

[0006] In this example, the fixed connector includes a snap-fit ​​portion and a fixing portion spaced apart. The fixed connector is fixedly connected to one side of the housing, meaning the snap-fit ​​portion and the fixing portion are fixedly connected to one side of the housing. The snap-fit ​​component is fixedly connected to the panel structure, and the housing is part of the power rail. Therefore, the snap-fit ​​engagement of the snap-fit ​​portion and the snap-fit ​​component allows for a detachable connection between the power rail and the panel structure, enabling rapid assembly of the power rail and the panel structure and improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, since the first connector can pass through the fixing portion and connect to the panel structure, the engagement of the fixing portion and the first connector also allows for a fixed connection between the power rail and the panel structure.

[0007] Compared to existing technologies that use different connection methods to connect the power rail to the panel structure, which requires replacing not only the connectors connected to the housing but also the connectors connected to the panel structure, this application example only requires adjusting the structural components connected to the panel structure, i.e., adjusting the connection between the snap-fit ​​component and the panel structure, or adjusting the connection between the first connector and the panel structure. This allows the power rail to be connected to the panel structure through different connection methods. Operators can select the corresponding connection method to connect the power rail to the panel structure according to user needs, making the adjustment of the connection method between the power rail and the panel structure more flexible.

[0008] Furthermore, since both the snap-fit ​​and the fixing parts are located on the fixed connector, it is possible to avoid manufacturing separate snap-fit ​​and fixing parts, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the electric rail.

[0009] In some possible implementations, a second connector is provided on the side of the housing facing the fixed connector. The fixing part has a first mounting hole, the second connector passes through the first mounting hole and connects to the fixing part, and the snap-fit ​​part has a first hook. The snap-fit ​​part has a second hook, and the second hook engages with the first hook.

[0010] In this example, the second connector mates with the first mounting hole. Since the second connector is located on the housing and the first mounting hole is located on the fixing part, which is part of the fixed connector, the connection between the fixed connector and the housing can be achieved through the mating of the second connector and the first mounting hole. Furthermore, since the first hook is located on the snap-fit ​​part, which is part of the fixed connector, and the second hook is located on the snap-fit ​​part, the snap-fit ​​between the fixed connector and the snap-fit ​​part can be achieved through the mating of the first hook and the second hook. Based on the above, the connection between the power rail and the panel structure can be achieved through the mating of the second connector and the first mounting hole, and the mating of the first hook and the second hook.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the power rail also includes an adhesive element that is bonded to the side of the snap-fit ​​member facing the panel structure. Alternatively, the power rail also includes a third connector that passes through the snap-fit ​​member and is connected to the panel structure.

[0012] In this application example, the snap-fit ​​component can be connected to the panel structure via an adhesive component or via a third connector, allowing for multiple connection methods between the snap-fit ​​component and the panel structure. Operators can select the corresponding connection method between the snap-fit ​​component and the panel structure based on different panel structures, thus expanding the applicability of electric rails.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the fixing connector includes a second mounting hole, which is spaced apart from the first mounting hole, and the first connector passes through the second mounting hole to connect with the panel structure.

[0014] In this application example, the fixed connector is provided with a first mounting hole, and the first mounting hole cooperates with the second connector to realize the connection between the fixed connector and the panel structure. The fixed connector is provided with a second mounting hole spaced apart from the first mounting hole. The first connector passes through the second mounting hole and connects with the panel structure. Therefore, the connection between the fixed connector and the panel structure can be realized by the cooperation between the first connector and the second mounting hole.

[0015] In some possible implementations, the housing is an insulating component.

[0016] In this application example, the housing is designed as an insulating component. Compared to a housing made of metal, this reduces the likelihood of the power rail failing the withstand voltage test, ensuring the factory inspection pass rate of the power rail. It also reduces the possibility of leakage, thus guaranteeing the safety of the power rail in use. Furthermore, compared to a housing made of metal, using an insulating component in this application example reduces the manufacturing cost of the power rail.

[0017] In some possible implementations, the housing includes a spaced-apart mounting plate and a receiving cavity, with reinforcing ribs on the side of the mounting plate facing the receiving cavity. The power rail also includes conductive components, which are mounted into the receiving cavity.

[0018] In this application example, the receiving cavity can provide installation space for conductive components. The housing includes a mounting plate and a receiving cavity spaced apart. The mounting plate has reinforcing ribs on the side facing the receiving cavity. The reinforcing ribs can reduce the deformation of the mounting plate, improve the strength of the housing, and thus ensure the reliability of the power rail.

[0019] In some possible implementations, the housing includes a slot, and the power rail also includes a first dustproof strip and a second dustproof strip that are in contact with each other, the first dustproof strip and the second dustproof strip cooperate to cover the slot, and the gap between the first dustproof strip and the second dustproof strip is connected to the slot.

[0020] By setting up a first dustproof strip to cover the slot opening, the possibility of dust, water and other foreign objects entering the housing from the slot is reduced, ensuring the safety of the power rail in use.

[0021] The gap between the first dustproof strip and the second dustproof strip is connected to the slot. When the plug of the adapter is inserted into the power rail, the first dustproof strip and the second dustproof strip are deformed under the pressure of the plug to make way for the plug to be inserted into the housing.

[0022] In some possible implementations, the first dustproof strip includes a dustproof strip body and a support member, with the support member inserted through the dustproof strip body and having a higher hardness than the dustproof strip body.

[0023] In this application example, the hardness of the support member is higher than that of the dustproof strip body, and the support member passes through the dustproof strip body, which makes the stress on the dustproof strip body more uniform. Along the direction in which the support member is inserted into the dustproof strip body, the deformation of the dustproof strip body is reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of dust, water and other foreign objects entering the interior of the power rail from the gap between the dustproof strip body and the shell, and ensuring the safety of the power rail in use.

[0024] In addition, because the dustproof strip body is relatively soft, during the process of the pin being inserted into the housing from the slot to make electrical connection with the conductive component, the dustproof strip body is easily deformed under the pressure of the pin, making room for the pin to be inserted into the housing, thus realizing the electrical connection between the adapter and the conductive component.

[0025] Secondly, this application provides a power rail socket, which includes a power rail provided in the first aspect or various possible embodiments of the first aspect, and at least one adapter, the adapter being electrically connected to the power rail.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the electric rails provided in the second aspect and the various possible designs of the second aspect can be found in the first aspect and the various possible implementations of the first aspect, and will not be repeated here. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0044] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the power rail and power rail socket provided in the example of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Exemplarily, this application provides an example of a power rail socket. Figure 1 This application provides a schematic diagram of the structure of an electrical track socket as an example. Figure 2 Please refer to the following schematic diagram of an exploded structure of an electric track, which is provided as an example of this application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The power rail socket includes a power rail 100 and at least one adapter 200, which is electrically connected to the power rail 100.

[0046] The adapter 200 may have a socket for inserting electrical appliances. The socket may be at least one of a two-prong socket, a three-prong socket, or a universal serial bus (USB) interface. In this example, the socket of the adapter 200 may be similar to the socket of adapters in the prior art, and will not be described further here.

[0047] The power rail 100 can be connected to one adapter 200, or the power rail 100 can be electrically connected to multiple adapters 200 at the same time. The multiple adapters 200 can have the same structure or different structures.

[0048] The adapter 200 may have a pin on the side facing the power rail 100, and the power rail 100 may have a slot on the side facing the adapter 200. A conductive component 140 is provided inside the power rail 100. The pin can be inserted into the power rail 100 from the slot, thereby connecting with the conductive component 140 inside the power rail 100. The conductive component 140 can be electrically connected to a power supply line.

[0049] Based on this, when the appliance is connected to the adapter 200, since the conductive component 140 is electrically connected to the power supply line, the adapter 200 can be electrically connected to the conductive component 140 through the plug. Therefore, the power supply line can provide power to the appliance through the conductive component 140 and the adapter 200, so that the appliance can be put into use.

[0050] The adapter 200 can be plugged into the power rail 100, and the adapter 200 can slide relative to the power rail 100. Based on this, the user can adjust the position of the adapter 200 according to usage needs, improving the flexibility of the power rail socket.

[0051] For details regarding the structure of the electric track 100, please refer to the relevant description below. This application example will not be elaborated upon here.

[0052] Since the power rail socket provided in this application example includes a power rail 100, the power rail socket provided in this application example can achieve the same effect as the power rail 100 described below.

[0053] Next, the structure of the power rail 100 and its functions will be described in detail.

[0054] For example, this application provides an example of an electric track 100. Figure 3 This application provides a schematic diagram of the structure of a fixed connector as an example. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a snap-fit ​​connector provided as an example of this application.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 2-4 The power rail 100 includes a housing 110, a fixing connector 120, a snap-fit ​​connector 130, and a first connector (not shown in the figure). The fixing connector 120 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 110 and includes a snap-fit ​​portion 122 and a fixing portion 121 spaced apart. The snap-fit ​​connector 130 is used to fixally connect to the panel structure and snaps into the snap-fit ​​portion 122. The first connector passes through the fixing portion and connects to the panel structure. The power rail 100 is connected to the panel structure through the engagement of the snap-fit ​​portion 122 and the snap-fit ​​connector 130, or the power rail 100 is connected to the panel structure through the engagement of the fixing portion 121 and the first connector.

[0056] The housing 110 may be made of insulating materials such as polycarbonate, or it may be made of metallic materials such as aluminum and aluminum alloys. This application example does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0057] The housing 110 has a slot on the side facing the adapter 200, so that the pin of the adapter 200 can extend into the housing 110 from the slot opening, which facilitates the electrical connection between the adapter 200 and the power rail 100.

[0058] The fixing connector 120 and the snap-fit ​​connector 130 can be made of the same or different materials. For example, the fixing connector 120 and the snap-fit ​​connector 130 can be made of insulating materials such as polycarbonate or stainless steel, as long as a reliable connection between the power rail 100 and the panel structure can be ensured. The panel structure can be a desktop, wall, floor, or other similar structure.

[0059] Both the snap-fit ​​part 122 and the snap-fit ​​member 130 may be provided with snap hooks, and the two snap hooks may engage. Alternatively, one of the snap-fit ​​part 122 and the snap-fit ​​member may be provided with a snap groove, and the other may be provided with a snap hook, and the snap hook engages with the snap groove. This application does not impose specific restrictions on the snap-fit ​​method of the snap-fit ​​part 122 and the snap-fit ​​member 130, as long as it ensures that the snap-fit ​​part 122 and the snap-fit ​​member 130 can reliably engage.

[0060] There can be one or more snap-fit ​​connectors 130. Multiple different snap-fit ​​connectors 130 can be located on different panel structures. By engaging the snap-fit ​​part 122 with different snap-fit ​​connectors 130, the power rail 100 can be positioned on different panel structures. Alternatively, multiple different snap-fit ​​connectors 130 can be located at different positions on the same panel structure, allowing the power rail 100 to connect to different positions on the panel structure. This improves the configuration flexibility of the power rail socket, enabling it to meet customers' location needs across a wider range.

[0061] The first connector can be a bolt, screw, or other threaded part, or it can be a riveted part, as long as the first connector can be inserted into the fixing part 121 and fixedly connected to the panel structure.

[0062] In this example, the fixed connector 120 includes a snap-fit ​​portion 122 and a fixing portion 121 spaced apart. The fixed connector 120 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 110, that is, the snap-fit ​​portion 122 and the fixing portion 121 are fixedly connected to one side of the housing 110. The snap-fit ​​member 130 is fixedly connected to the panel structure, and the housing 110 is part of the power rail 100. Therefore, the snap-fit ​​engagement of the snap-fit ​​portion 122 and the snap-fit ​​member 130 can achieve a detachable connection between the power rail 100 and the panel structure, enabling rapid assembly of the power rail 100 and the panel structure and improving the assembly efficiency of the power rail 100 and the panel structure. Furthermore, since the first connector can pass through the fixing portion 121 and connect to the panel structure, the engagement of the fixing portion 121 and the first connector can also achieve a fixed connection between the power rail 100 and the panel structure.

[0063] Compared to existing technologies that use different connection methods to connect the power rail to the panel structure, which requires replacing not only the connectors connected to the housing but also the connectors connected to the panel structure, this application example only requires adjusting the structural components connected to the panel structure, i.e., adjusting the connection between the snap-fit ​​component and the panel structure, or adjusting the connection between the first connector and the panel structure. This allows the power rail to be connected to the panel structure through different connection methods. Operators can select the corresponding connection method to connect the power rail 100 to the panel structure according to user needs, thus making the adjustment of the connection method between the power rail and the panel structure more flexible.

[0064] Furthermore, since both the snap-fit ​​part 122 and the fixing part 121 are provided on the fixing connector 120, it is possible to avoid manufacturing separate snap-fit ​​parts 122 and fixing parts 121, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the electric rail 100.

[0065] Based on the electric track 100 provided in the example above, Figure 5 Please refer to the structural schematic diagram of a shell provided as an example in this application. Figures 2-5 The housing 110 has a second connector 111 on the side facing the fixing connector 120. The fixing part 121 has a first mounting hole 1211, the second connector 111 passes through the first mounting hole 1211 and is connected to the fixing part, and the snap-fit ​​part 122 has a first hook 1221. The snap-fit ​​part 130 has a second hook 131, and the second hook 131 snaps into the first hook 1221.

[0066] The second connector 111 can be connected to the side of the housing 110 facing the snap-fit ​​portion by the cooperation of the protrusion and the groove. The second connector 111 can also be integrally formed with the housing 110.

[0067] The second connector 111 can be threaded to the first mounting hole 1211, or the second connector 111 can be snapped into the first mounting hole 1211 or connected in other ways.

[0068] There may be only one fixing part 121, or there may be multiple fixing parts 121. Multiple fixing parts 121 may be provided on the same side of the snap-fit ​​part 122, or multiple fixing parts 121 may be provided on different sides of the snap-fit ​​part 122. This application example does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0069] Based on the electric track 100 provided in the example above, please refer to... Figure 3 The fixing part 121 may include two fixing parts 121, which may be provided on opposite sides of the snap-fit ​​part 122. Both fixing parts 121 may be provided with a first mounting hole 1211. Both fixing parts 121 may each have one first mounting hole 1211, or both fixing parts 121 may each have multiple first mounting holes 1211 spaced apart. This application example does not specifically limit this.

[0070] Two fixing parts 121 are provided on opposite sides of the snap-fit ​​part 122, so that the two fixing parts 121 can connect the fixing connector 120 and the housing 110 from different positions, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the fixing connector 120 and the housing 110 and reducing the possibility of the fixing connector 120 shaking relative to the housing 110.

[0071] The second connector 111 mentioned in the above example includes a connecting part and a limiting part. The connecting part passes through the first mounting hole 1211, and the limiting part can be snapped onto the side of the snapping part away from the housing 110.

[0072] The second connector 111 may include a plurality of sub-connectors spaced apart, the distance between different sub-connectors being adjustable under force. Each sub-connector includes a sub-connecting portion and a sub-limiting portion.

[0073] For example, during the process of the second connector 111 passing through the first mounting hole 1211, the multiple sub-limiting parts are pressed together after being subjected to force, so that the diameter of the limiting part after being subjected to force is smaller than the diameter of the first mounting hole 1211, thereby allowing the limiting part to reach the side of the engaging part away from the housing 110. After the force acting on the sub-limiting parts is removed, the multiple sub-limiting parts return to their natural state. At this time, the diameter of the limiting part is larger than the diameter of the first mounting hole 1211, so that the limiting part can engage with the side of the engaging part away from the housing 110.

[0074] The snap-fit ​​part 122 mentioned in the above example is provided with a first snap hook 1221, and the snap-fit ​​part 130 is provided with a second snap hook 131. The extension direction of the first snap hook 1221 is opposite to the extension direction of the second snap hook 131.

[0075] Figure 6 A schematic diagram illustrating the mating of the fixed connector 120 and the snap-fit ​​connector provided in this application is shown below. Figure 6 Taking a wall as an example, the second hook 131 extends away from the ground, while the first hook 1221 extends towards the ground. Therefore, when the first hook 1221 and the second hook 131 are positioned correspondingly, placing the power rail 100 with the first hook 1221 towards the ground allows for the engagement of the first hook 1221 and the second hook 131, thus enabling the power rail 100 to cooperate with the panel structure.

[0076] The snap-fit ​​component 130 may have only one second snap hook 131, or it may have multiple second snap hooks 131 spaced apart. This application example does not impose specific restrictions on this, as long as the number of first snap hooks 1221 and second snap hooks 131 is equal, and the setting position of the first snap hook 1221 corresponds to the setting position of the second snap hook 131.

[0077] In this example, the second connector 111 mates with the first mounting hole 1211. Since the second connector 111 is located on the housing 110 and the first mounting hole 1211 is located on the fixing part 121, which is part of the fixing connector 120, the connection between the fixing connector 120 and the housing 110 can be achieved through the mate of the second connector 111 and the first mounting hole 1211. Furthermore, since the first hook 1221 is located on the locking part 122, which is part of the fixing connector 120, and the second hook 131 is located on the locking part 130, the locking of the fixing connector 120 and the locking part 130 can be achieved through the mate of the first hook 1221 and the second hook 131. Based on the above, the connection between the electric rail 100 and the panel structure can be achieved through the mate of the second connector 111 and the first mounting hole 1211, and the mate of the first hook 1221 and the second hook 131.

[0078] Based on the power rail 100 provided in the above example, the power rail 100 further includes an adhesive member that is bonded to the side of the snap-fit ​​member 130 facing the panel structure. Alternatively, the power rail 100 further includes a third connector that passes through the snap-fit ​​member 130 and is connected to the panel structure.

[0079] The adhesive component can be an adhesive, foam double-sided tape, or other similar structure, as long as it can connect the snap-fit ​​component 130 to the panel structure and ensure the reliability of the connection between the snap-fit ​​component 130 and the panel structure. In this case, the panel structure can be a relatively smooth surface, such as a ceramic tile wall or a wooden board.

[0080] The third connector can be a threaded component such as a screw or bolt. The third connector can pass through the snap-fit ​​component 130 and connect to the panel structure. In this case, the panel structure can be a panel structure with a relatively rough surface, for example, the panel structure can be a cement wall or similar structure.

[0081] In this application example, the snap-fit ​​connector 130 can be connected to the panel structure via an adhesive connector or via a third connector, allowing for multiple connection methods between the snap-fit ​​connector 130 and the panel structure. Operators can select the corresponding connection method between the snap-fit ​​connector 130 and the panel structure based on different panel structures, thereby expanding the applicability of the electric track 100.

[0082] Based on the electric track 100 provided in the example above, please refer to... Figure 3 The fixed connector 120 includes a second mounting hole 1212, which is spaced apart from the first mounting hole. The first connector passes through the second mounting hole 1212 and connects to the panel structure.

[0083] The first connector can be a screw, bolt, or other connector. The second mounting hole 1212 can be a round hole, a slotted hole, or the like.

[0084] There may be only one second mounting hole 1212, or there may be multiple second mounting holes 1212 spaced apart.

[0085] In this application example, the fixed connector 120 is provided with a first mounting hole, and the first mounting hole cooperates with the second connector to realize the connection between the fixed connector 120 and the panel structure. The fixed connector 120 is provided with a second mounting hole 1212 that is spaced apart from the first mounting hole. The first connector passes through the second mounting hole 1212 and is connected to the panel structure. Therefore, the connection between the fixed connector 120 and the panel structure can be realized by the cooperation between the first connector and the second mounting hole 1212.

[0086] Based on the power rail 100 provided in the above example, the housing 110 is an insulating component.

[0087] The housing 110 may be made of polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate or other insulating materials.

[0088] The housing 110 may include a cooperating housing body, a tail cover, and a bottom cover. The housing body and tail cover may be injection molded, and the bottom cover may be formed by extrusion. The housing body, tail cover, and bottom cover may also be formed by other processes. This application example does not impose specific limitations on these processes.

[0089] In this example, the housing 110 is designed as an insulating component. Compared to a housing 110 made of metal, this reduces the likelihood of the power rail 100 failing the withstand voltage test, ensuring the factory inspection pass rate of the power rail 100. It also reduces the possibility of leakage, thus guaranteeing the safety of the power rail 100 in use. Furthermore, by using an insulating component instead of a metal housing, the manufacturing cost of the power rail 100 can be reduced.

[0090] Based on the electric track 100 provided in the example above, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 5 The housing 110 includes a mounting plate 112 and a receiving cavity spaced apart, and the mounting plate 112 is provided with a reinforcing rib 113 on the side facing the receiving cavity. The power rail 100 also includes a conductive component 140, which is installed in the receiving cavity.

[0091] The conductive component 140 may specifically include a zero-pole conductive element and a zero-pole terminal, a live-pole conductive element and a live-pole terminal, and a ground-pole conductive element and a ground-pole terminal. Different conductive elements can be electrically connected to the power supply line through corresponding terminals. The electrical connection method between the conductive component 140 and the power supply line is similar to the electrical connection method between conductive components and power supply lines in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0092] The receiving cavity can be formed by the shell body, the tail cover, and the bottom cover. The conductive elements in the conductive assembly 140 can be inserted through the bottom cover, and the different conductive elements are insulated from each other. One end of the conductive assembly 140 is fixedly connected to the end of the shell body away from the tail cover, and the other end of the conductive assembly 140 is fixedly connected to the tail cover.

[0093] A knockout hole is provided on the side of the housing body opposite to the tail cover, and / or a knockout hole is provided on the side of the tail cover opposite to the housing body. When the knockout hole is not used, a plate-like structure can be provided around it to block the knockout hole, reducing the possibility of water, dust, or other foreign objects entering the power rail 100 through the knockout hole. During wiring, the plate-like structure at the knockout hole can be knocked off, allowing the power supply wire to extend into the housing 110 from the knockout hole and connect electrically to the corresponding terminal block, thus achieving electrical connection between the power supply wire and the corresponding conductive component.

[0094] There may be one mounting plate 112 or multiple mounting plates 112. Multiple mounting plates 112 working together can reduce the possibility of water, dust and other impurities entering the interior of the power rail 100 through the gaps between the mounting plate 112 and the panel structure.

[0095] The receiving cavity is connected to the slot, so that the adapter 200 can be inserted into the receiving cavity from the slot and electrically connected to the conductive component 140 in the receiving cavity.

[0096] The mounting plate 112 has a reinforcing rib 113 on the side facing the receiving cavity. The reinforcing rib 113 can cooperate with the mounting plate 112 and the surface of part of the housing 110 with a groove to form a triangular prism, so as to reduce the deformation of the mounting plate 112.

[0097] A reinforcing plate may be provided on the side of the reinforcing rib 113 that is away from the mounting plate 112, and the reinforcing plate is parallel to the mounting plate 112. The reinforcing plate and the reinforcing rib 113 work together to further reduce the deformation of the mounting plate 112.

[0098] One or more reinforcing ribs 113 may be provided between the mounting plate 112 and the reinforcing plate. When there is one reinforcing rib 113, the mounting plate 112, the reinforcing plate, and the reinforcing rib 113 can be arranged in a "Z" shape along the cross-section of the power rail 100. When there are multiple reinforcing ribs 113, the multiple reinforcing ribs 113 can be arranged in parallel, or the multiple reinforcing ribs 113 can be arranged in a mesh pattern; this application example does not specifically limit this.

[0099] In this application example, the receiving cavity can provide installation space for the conductive component 140. The housing 110 includes a mounting plate 112 and a receiving cavity spaced apart. A reinforcing rib 113 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 112 facing the receiving cavity. The reinforcing rib 113 can reduce the deformation of the mounting plate 112, improve the strength of the housing 110, and thus ensure the reliability of the power rail 100.

[0100] Based on the electric track 100 provided in the example above, please refer to... Figure 2 The housing 110 includes a slot, and the power rail 100 also includes a first dustproof strip 151 and a second dustproof strip 152 that are in contact with each other. The first dustproof strip 151 and the second dustproof strip 152 cooperate to cover the slot, and the gap between the first dustproof strip 151 and the second dustproof strip 152 is connected to the slot.

[0101] The slot is located on the side of the housing 110 facing the adapter 200, and the slot opening can be elongated. Based on this, the pin of the adapter 200 can extend into the housing 110 from the slot opening, and the adapter 200 can slide along the slot to adjust the position of the adapter 200 relative to the power rail 100, thereby improving the flexibility of the power rail socket.

[0102] The first dustproof strip 151 and the second dustproof strip 152 are snapped into the housing 110. The first dustproof strip 151 and the second dustproof strip 152 cooperate to cover the slot opening. The gap between the first dustproof strip 151 and the second dustproof strip 152 is connected to the slot. Therefore, when the plug of the adapter 200 is inserted into the power rail 100, the first dustproof strip 151 deforms under the pressure of the plug, making room for the plug to be inserted into the housing 110.

[0103] By setting the first dustproof strip 151 to cover the slot opening, the possibility of dust, water and other foreign objects entering the housing 110 from the slot can be reduced, ensuring the safety of the power rail 100 in use.

[0104] The first dustproof strip 151 and the second dustproof strip 152 have similar structures. Hereinafter, the structures of the first dustproof strip 151 and the second dustproof strip 152 will be described by way of example, taking only the first dustproof strip 151 as an example.

[0105] Figure 7 Please refer to the structural schematic diagram of a first dustproof strip provided as an example of this application. Figure 7 The first dustproof strip 151 includes a dustproof strip body 1511 and a support member 1512. The support member 1512 is inserted inside the dustproof strip body 1511, and the hardness of the support member 1512 is higher than that of the dustproof strip body 1511.

[0106] The support member 1512 can be made of carbon fiber or other materials with high hardness, and the dustproof strip body 1511 can be made of rubber or other softer materials. This application example does not impose specific restrictions on the manufacturing materials of the support member 1512 and the dustproof strip body 1511, as long as the hardness of the support member 1512 is greater than that of the dustproof strip body 1511.

[0107] The direction in which the dustproof strip body 1511 passes through the support member 1512 can be parallel to the direction in which the adapter 200 slides relative to the power rail 100.

[0108] Along the direction in which the dustproof strip body 1511 passes through the support member 1512, the support member 1512 may have one or more.

[0109] In this application example, the hardness of the support member 1512 is higher than that of the dustproof strip body 1511, and the support member 1512 passes through the dustproof strip body 1511, which can make the force on the dustproof strip body 1511 more uniform. Along the direction in which the support member 1512 is inserted into the dustproof strip body 1511, the deformation of the dustproof strip body 1511 is reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of dust, water and other foreign objects entering the interior of the power rail 100 from the mating gap between the dustproof strip body 1511 and the housing 110, and ensuring the safety of the power rail 100 in use.

[0110] In addition, the dustproof strip body 1511 is relatively soft. During the process of the adapter 200's pin being inserted into the housing 110 from the slot and electrically connected to the conductive component 140, the dustproof strip body 1511 is easily deformed under the pressure of the pin, making room for the pin to be inserted into the housing 110, so as to realize the electrical connection between the adapter 200 and the conductive component 140.

[0111] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely specific implementations of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
