Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of track light technology, and in particular to a tail clip for track lights and a track light. Background Technology
[0002] Track lights are lights installed on a track, allowing them to slide along the track to change their position and adjust the lighting area. Conductive metal strips are located on both sides of the track's interior, receiving a power supply voltage. The track light is typically integrated with a driver power supply box, which is also a power converter. The driver power supply box has a rotatable conductive copper plate and a limiting block at its connector. During installation, rotating the conductive copper plate and limiting block on the driver power supply box causes the limiting block to engage with the track's groove, securing it and simultaneously bringing the conductive copper plate into contact with the conductive metal strips inside the track, thus powering the track light. However, because the length of the guide rail and light panel is generally much greater than the length of the power supply box, the power supply box cannot provide tension for the entire light panel. Especially at the ends of the light panel, the lack of fixation causes them to sag and fall, affecting the connection between the power supply box and the light panel, and making the light panel prone to deformation or even breakage.
[0003] It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content

[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown in the figure, this application proposes a tail clip for a track light, including a slider 1, two extending edges 2, a limiting mechanism 3, a rotating seat 4, an anti-rotation mechanism 5, and a snap-fit plate 6. The two extending edges 2 are respectively protruding from the bottom of both sides of the slider 1. The limiting mechanism 3 is disposed on one side of the slider 1. The rotating seat 4 is disposed on the top of the slider 1. The anti-rotation mechanism 5 connects the slider 1 and the rotating seat 4. The snap-fit plate 6 is disposed on the side of the rotating seat 4 away from the slider 1.
[0023] This utility model discloses a tail clip for track lights, comprising a slider 1, two extending edges 2, a limiting mechanism 3, a rotating seat 4, an anti-rotation mechanism 5, and a locking plate 6. The track light panel has a T-shaped groove, the slider 1 provides support, and the two extending edges 2 are respectively locked onto both sides of the T-shaped groove to connect the tail clip and the light panel. The limiting mechanism 3 restricts the relative movement between the tail clip and the light panel. The rotating seat 4 drives the locking plate 6 to rotate, and the locking plate 6 is locked onto the inner side of the guide rail. The anti-rotation mechanism 5 restricts the rotation of the rotating seat 4 so that the locking plate 6 is maintained in a locked or unlocked position. This tail clip for track lights, through the coordinated work of various components, connects the tail clip to the guide rail and the light panel respectively, providing traction to the end of the light panel to prevent it from falling off, while also avoiding deformation or even breakage of the light panel under gravity.
[0024] The limiting mechanism 3 includes a clearance groove 31, an inclined plate 32, and a vertical plate 33. The clearance groove 31 is located on one side of the slider 1. The inclined plate 32 is inclined on the clearance groove 31. The vertical plate 33 extends upward along the end of the inclined plate 32 away from the clearance groove 31. The clearance groove 31 provides clearance space for the inclined plate 32. When the tail clip is installed on the light plate, the T-shaped groove of the light plate presses against the vertical plate 33. The vertical plate 33 causes the inclined plate 32 to deform, thereby limiting the relative movement between the tail clip and the light plate.
[0025] The limiting mechanism 3 also includes an upper reinforcing rib 34 and a lower reinforcing rib 35. The upper reinforcing rib 34 connects the top of the inclined plate 32 and the inner wall of the clearance groove 31. The lower reinforcing rib 35 is located at the bottom of the inclined plate 32. The upper reinforcing rib 34 and the lower reinforcing rib 35 provide support for the inclined plate 32 to prevent the inclined plate 32 from being damaged due to excessive deformation.
[0026] The rotating base 4 includes a column 41, a sleeve 42, and a rotating handle 43. The column 41 is located on the top of the slider 1, the sleeve 42 is fitted onto the column 41, and the rotating handle 43 is located on the outer periphery of the sleeve 42. The locking plate 6 is located on the end of the sleeve 42 away from the slider 1. The locking plate 6 and the column 41 are respectively provided with first screw holes 44. The anti-rotation mechanism 5 connects the rotating handle 43 and the slider 1. A screw passes through the first screw hole 44 to rotatably connect the sleeve 42 and the column 41. Turning the rotating handle 43 causes the sleeve 42 to rotate relative to the column 41, and the locking plate 6 rotates with the sleeve 42, thereby locking or unlocking the tail clip between the tail clip and the guide rail.
[0027] The anti-rotation mechanism 5 includes two anti-rotation posts 51 and two locking grooves 52. The two anti-rotation posts 51 are respectively disposed on the slider 1, and the rotating handle 43 is disposed between the two anti-rotation posts 51. The two locking grooves 52 are respectively disposed on both sides of the rotating handle 43. The two anti-rotation posts 51 and the two locking grooves 52 are respectively locked in one-to-one. When the tail clip and the guide rail are in the locked or unlocked state, the corresponding locking groove 52 is clamped on the opposite anti-rotation post 51 to prevent rotation due to external force and ensure the stability of the connection between the tail clip and the guide rail.
[0028] The slider 1 is also provided with two second screw holes 11, which are located on both sides of the slider 1. The straight line containing the two second screw holes 11 intersects the center line of the slider 1 in the width direction. For non-slot-type light boards, the connection between the tail clip and the light board can be achieved through the two second screw holes 11, which is suitable for more different types of light boards. At the same time, the two second screws 11 are staggered, which can provide locking force at different positions to ensure the stability of the connection between the tail clip and the light board.
[0029] The slider 1 is also provided with a support seat 12 and a stop screw hole 13. The support seat 12 is arranged adjacent to the rotating seat 4. The stop screw hole 13 is arranged through the support seat 12 and the slider 1. The support seat 12 can improve the rigidity of the structure. The screw passes through the stop screw hole 13. When the limiting mechanism 3 initially limits the position, the screw is turned so that it extends into the stop screw hole 13 and presses against the lamp plate, which further enhances the fixing effect between the tail clip and the lamp plate to prevent relative displacement. When it is necessary to slide the tail clip, the screw in the stop screw hole 13 can be reversed to loosen it. After releasing the tight clamp lock, the upright plate 33 can be pressed to disengage it from the slot on the lamp plate.
[0030] This utility model also provides a track light, including a guide rail 7, a power supply box 8, a light panel 9, and a tail clip as described above. The guide rail 7 includes a guide rail body 71, two low-voltage sections 72, and two high-voltage sections 73. The cross-sectional shape of the guide rail body 71 is concave. The two low-voltage sections 72 are respectively disposed on both sides inside the guide rail body 71, and the two high-voltage sections 73 are respectively disposed on both sides inside the guide rail body 71. The power supply box 8 includes a housing 81, and a high-voltage switch 82, a power conversion module 83, and a low-voltage switch 84 disposed inside the housing 81 along the length direction of the housing 81. The low-voltage switch 84 and the high-voltage switch 82 are electrically connected to both ends of the power conversion module 83. The top of the housing 81 is embedded in the guide rail body 71, and the high-voltage switch 82 and the low-voltage switch 84 are respectively engaged with the inner side of the guide rail body 71. The two ends of the high-voltage switch 82 are electrically connected to the two high-voltage components 73 respectively, and the two ends of the low-voltage switch 84 are electrically connected to the two low-voltage components 72 respectively. A T-shaped groove 91 is provided through the top of the light panel 9 along its length. The T-shaped groove 91 is inverted. The bottom of the power box 8 is engaged with the T-shaped groove 91. The engaging plate 6 is engaged with the inner side of the guide rail body 71. The two extension edges 2 are engaged with the two sides of the T-shaped groove 91 respectively. A limiting groove 92 is provided on one side of the T-shaped groove 91. The upright plate 33 is engaged with the limiting groove 92. The T-shaped groove 91 enables quick connection between the power box 8 and the tail clip and the light panel 9. The engagement of the upright plate 33 and the limiting groove 92 enables initial positioning between the tail clip and the light panel 9. The tail clip connects the guide rail 7 and the light panel 9, providing support for the light panel 9 and improving the overall stability of the track light.
