Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sockets, and in particular to a track socket. Background Technology
[0002] Existing track sockets include a rail base and an adapter, the adapter being movable on the rail base. The rail base has a conductive element, and the adapter has a power-taking element. The power-taking element is inserted into the rail base and contacts or separates from the conductive element within the rail base, thus enabling the adapter to conduct or de-energize, thereby supplying or de-energizing electrical equipment.
[0003] Traditionally, the contact between conductive and power-receiving components is rigid, meaning they directly touch and rely on their deformation to generate contact force, ensuring a constant state of contact and thus maintaining current flow. However, over time, this rigid contact can cause deformation of the conductive and / or power-receiving components, weakening or even eliminating this contact force, leading to poor contact and affecting conductivity. Furthermore, existing methods employ multiple components to ensure contact force between the conductive and power-receiving components, but as mentioned above, their effectiveness is questionable after prolonged use. Additionally, the numerous components and complex structure result in unreliable connections, difficult installation, and high costs. Utility Model Content

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following will describe this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.
[0035] See Figure 1-8This utility model discloses a track socket, including a power supply mechanism 100 and a power taking mechanism 200. The power supply mechanism 100 includes a power carrying body 2 and a conductive component. The power carrying body 2 is provided with a power carrying cavity 21 and an opening 22 communicating with the power carrying cavity 21. The conductive component is disposed in the power carrying cavity 21.
[0036] The conductive component includes a conductive element 3 and an elastic component 4. The conductive element 3 is elastically connected to the power-carrying body 2 through the elastic component 4. The power-taking mechanism 200 includes a base 5 and a power-taking element 6. The base 5 and the power-taking element 6 are movably connected. The power-taking element 6 is inserted into the power-carrying cavity 21 through an opening 22. By driving the power-taking element 6, the power-taking element 6 and the conductive element 3 are made to contact or separate, thereby realizing the power supply or power cut-off.
[0037] The conductive component of this utility model's track socket is elastically connected to the power-carrying body via an elastic member. When the power-receiving component is rotated, causing it and the conductive component to come into contact, the elastic member is compressed, generating elastic potential energy that pushes the conductive component towards the power-receiving component, ensuring contact force between them. This design is simple, reliable, and provides good contact. Compared to existing rigid contact methods, this flexible contact method avoids deformation caused by prolonged rigid contact between the power-receiving and / or conductive components, which can lead to poor contact. This utility model utilizes the elastic force of the elastic member to ensure good contact between the conductive and power-receiving components while preventing deformation. Furthermore, it has fewer components and a simple, reliable structure.
[0038] Preferably, the elastic component 4 is a spring, but it is not limited thereto.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , 5 As shown, the conductive element 3 includes a conductive portion 31, and the two ends of the elastic member 4 abut against the power-carrying body 2 and the conductive portion 31, respectively. The conductive element 3 abuts against the power-taking element 6 through the conductive portion 31. One end of the power-taking element 6 passes through the base 5 and extends into the base 5, electrically connecting with the electrical components inside the base 5. The other end of the power-taking element 6 extends into the power-carrying cavity 21. The other end of the power-taking element 6 is provided with a power-taking contact 61. Driving the power-taking element causes the power-taking contact to move towards the conductive portion and abut against it. At the same time, it compresses the elastic member abutting against the conductive portion, causing the elastic member to generate elastic potential energy so that the conductive portion and the power-taking contact always have a certain contact force, ensuring good contact between the power-taking element and the conductive element. Meanwhile, the conductive element is movably connected to the power-carrying body through the elastic member. When the power-taking element moves towards the conductive portion and pushes the conductive portion, the conductive portion moves and compresses the elastic member, avoiding rigid contact and causing deformation of the power-taking element and / or the conductive element, thereby ensuring good contact.
[0040] Preferably, the conductive part 31 is provided with a limiting block (not shown in the figure), and the elastic member 4 is sleeved outside the limiting block to prevent the elastic member from shifting.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , 5 As shown in Figures 7-8, the power supply mechanism 100 further includes an insulating component, which includes an upper insulating member 7 and a lower insulating member 8. The upper insulating member 7 and the lower insulating member 8 are wrapped around the conductive component to isolate the conductive component from the electric body 2. The two ends of the elastic member 4 abut against the upper insulating member 7 and the conductive part 31, respectively.
[0042] The insulating components are used to isolate the conductive components and the electrical carrier, preventing leakage caused by the electrical carrier conducting electricity. Both the upper insulating component 7 and the lower insulating component 8 are made of insulating material, which is plastic.
[0043] Preferably, such as Figure 7 As shown, the electric carrier body 2 is provided with a first hook portion 23; the upper insulating member 7 is provided with a connector 71, the connector 71 including a first fastening portion 711, the first fastening portion 711 and the first hook portion 23 are fastened together. The first fastening portion and the first hook portion cooperate to connect the electric carrier body and the upper insulating member, and the connection is compact, simple and reliable in structure, easy to install and low in cost.
[0044] Better, such as Figure 7 As shown, the connector 71 further includes a second fastening part 712, and the upper insulating member 7 is provided with a second hooking part 72.
[0045] The power supply mechanism 100 also includes a dustproof component 9, which comprises a dustproof fastening part 92, a dustproof body 91, and a dustproof baffle 93 connected in sequence. The second fastening part 712 is fastened to the dustproof fastening part 92, and the second hook part 72 is fastened to the dustproof body 91. The cooperation between the second fastening part and the dustproof fastening part, as well as the second hook part and the dustproof body, ensures a tight connection between the upper insulating component and the dustproof component, and reliably fixes the dustproof component to the upper insulating component. Furthermore, the fastening structure between the upper insulating component and the current-carrying body securely connects the current-carrying body, the upper insulating component, and the dustproof component. The connection structure between them is compact and reliable, with few components, a simple structure, low cost, and easy installation. The function of the dustproof component is to prevent external foreign objects from entering the current-carrying cavity, ensuring the normal conductivity of electrical components within the normal current-carrying cavity. Therefore, the dustproof component 9 is located at the opening 22.
[0046] Preferably, such as Figure 8As shown, the current-carrying cavity 21 is provided with a first positioning strip 24, and the upper insulating member 7 is provided with a connecting groove 73; the lower insulating member 8 is provided with a connecting strip 81 and a positioning groove 82. The connecting strip 81 is embedded in the connecting groove 73, and the first positioning strip 24 is embedded in the positioning groove 82, so as to fix the upper insulating member 7, the lower insulating member 8, and the current-carrying body 2 in a fixed connection. The cooperation of the connecting strip and the connecting groove realizes the connection between the upper insulating member and the lower insulating member; the cooperation of the first positioning strip and the positioning groove realizes the connection between the current-carrying body and the lower insulating member, so that the lower insulating member is fixed in the current-carrying cavity.
[0047] Therefore, the top, upper insulating component, lower insulating component, and bottom of the current-carrying body are connected in sequence, so that the upper insulating component and the lower insulating component are fixedly installed inside the current-carrying cavity, ensuring that the insulating component is wrapped around the conductive component, thereby ensuring effective insulation and preventing leakage.
[0048] It should be noted that the upper insulating member 7 and the lower insulating member 8 are connected and wrap around the conductive component. Specifically, the upper insulating member 7 is located above the conductive component, the lower insulating member 8 is located below the conductive component, and the connection between the upper insulating member 7 and the lower insulating member 8 is located on one side of the conductive component.
[0049] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the conductive component 3 also includes a guide portion 32 connected to the conductive portion 31, which is positioned between the elastic component 4 and the lower insulating component 8. The conductive portion 31 and the guide portion 32 are perpendicularly connected to each other, making the conductive component 3 L-shaped. One end of the elastic component 4 abuts against the upper insulating component 7, and the other end abuts against the conductive portion 31, while the guide portion 32 is positioned below the elastic component 4. Since the lower insulating component is located below the conductive component, it covers the guide portion, i.e., the guide portion is positioned between the elastic component and the lower insulating component. Driven by the conductive portion, the guide portion moves along the extension and retraction direction of the elastic component, ensuring that the conductive portion also moves along the extension and retraction direction of the elastic component without deviating. The guide portion guides and stabilizes the movement of the conductive portion, preventing it from moving erratically or getting stuck.
[0050] Better, such as Figure 7 As shown, the upper insulating member 7 is provided with a limiting strip 74, and the conductive part 31 is disposed between the elastic member 4 and the limiting strip 74 to limit the range of movement of the conductive member 3. To prevent the conductive part from resetting under the elastic force of the elastic member and separating from the elastic member, this invention provides a limiting strip at the bottom wall of the upper insulating member to limit the range of movement of the conductive part when it resets. When the elastic member resets and extends, it pushes the conductive part outward. The conductive part stops moving outward because it touches the limiting strip, thus preventing the conductive part from separating from the elastic member or getting stuck in the carrying cavity, thereby ensuring the energizing effect.
[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-3As shown in Figure 5, the power supply mechanism 100 also includes a housing 1, which covers the power-carrying body 2. The housing 1 has a guide hole 11 corresponding to the opening 22. The base 5 can move along the guide hole 11, and the power-collecting component 6 passes through the guide hole 11 and the opening 22. The base 5 is mounted on the housing 1, and the power-collecting component 6 passes through the guide hole 11 and the opening 22 and is inserted into the power-carrying cavity 21. The guide hole extends along the extension direction of the housing, and the base can slide along the guide hole. Users can move the power-collecting mechanism along the guide hole to different positions on the housing for power collection as needed, which is convenient. The conductive component extends along the extension direction of the guide hole, ensuring that the power-collecting component can successfully collect power no matter where it is moved on the housing.
[0052] Specifically, the dustproof baffle 93 is located between the guide hole 11 and the opening 2 to prevent foreign objects from entering the housing through the guide hole.
[0053] Preferably, the dustproof component 9 is made of silicone. The dustproof component is elastically deformable; when the power-taking component passes through the guide hole and opening, the dustproof baffle deforms elastically without obstructing the insertion of the power-taking component into the power-carrying cavity. When the power-taking component is removed, the dustproof baffle returns to its original shape, re-blocking the opening. Therefore, the dustproof component serves both to prevent dust and foreign objects from entering, and does not hinder the normal movement of the power-taking mechanism on the power supply mechanism.
[0054] Preferably, such as Figure 3-6 As shown, the bottom of the base 5 is provided with a guide seat 51, which passes through the guide hole 11 and the opening 22 to be inserted into the electric cavity 21; the guide seat 51 is provided with a slot 52, which communicates with the interior of the base 5; the power taking component 6 passes through the slot 52 and can extend out of the guide seat 51.
[0055] The guide seat protects the power-taking component. The base is inserted into the power-carrying cavity through the guide seat, specifically by the guide seat passing through the guide hole and opening. The guide seat, due to its strength, protects the power-taking component. The slot extends through both sides of the guide seat and into the base. When the guide seat is inserted into the power-carrying cavity, the power-taking component is placed in the slot, and the guide seat pushes open the dustproof cover. When power is needed, the user rotates one end of the power-taking component inside the base, causing the other end of the component placed in the power-carrying cavity to extend beyond the guide seat, and the power-taking contact contacts contact the conductive part of the conductive component, thus obtaining power. When power is not needed, the user rotates the power-taking component in the opposite direction, causing the power-taking contact contacts in the power-carrying cavity to separate from the conductive part and return to the slot.
[0056] Preferably, such as Figure 2As shown, the power-collecting component 6 is provided with a movable strip 62, which is located inside the base 5; by driving the movable strip 62, the power-collecting component 6 can be rotated. When the user drives the movable strip, that is, drives the power-collecting component, the power-collecting contacts in the power-carrying cavity extend out of the guide seat to abut against the conductive part, or move into the slot to separate from the conductive part.
[0057] Specifically, the movable bar 62 has a movable groove (not shown in the figure), and the base 5 has a toggle ring (not shown in the figure) rotatably connected to the base 5. The toggle ring has a toggle block, which is inserted into the movable groove. When the toggle ring is rotated, the toggle block can move within the movable groove, thus moving the movable bar and causing the power-collecting component to rotate. Other existing technologies can also be used to drive the power-collecting component to rotate, as long as they achieve the purpose of driving the power-collecting component to rotate; these will not be described in detail here.
[0058] It should be noted that there are two conductive components, two insulating components, and two power-taking components 6. The conductive components include a positive conductive component and a negative conductive component, and the power-taking components include a positive power-taking component and a negative power-taking component. The insulating components and conductive components are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. Both sets of insulating components and both sets of conductive components are arranged axially symmetrically within the current-carrying cavity. The power-taking component 6 is located between the positive and negative conductive components. Simultaneously rotating the positive and negative power-taking components moves the positive power-taking component towards the positive conductive component and the negative power-taking component towards the negative conductive component, thus achieving power taking. Simultaneously rotating the positive and negative power-taking components in opposite directions disconnects the power from both the positive and negative conductive components.
[0059] In summary, this utility model provides a track socket that is simple in structure, reliable, and provides good contact.
[0060] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
