Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of slide rail socket technology, specifically a slide rail socket that can be quickly assembled with busbar trunking. Background Technology

[0002] Track sockets utilize linear busbars and pluggable adapter modules to achieve flexible power distribution. Users can freely add, remove, or move adapters along the track as needed, breaking through the limitations of fixed socket locations in traditional systems.

[0003] Existing pluggable rail sockets are prone to loosening due to wear and deformation caused by the adapter module being plugged and unplugged into the busbar rail for a long time. The loosening of the rail and the adapter leads to increased contact resistance, which may cause local high temperature and fire, creating a safety hazard.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a slide rail socket that can be quickly assembled with busbar trunking to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a slide rail socket that can be quickly assembled with busbar trunking, aiming to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that existing plug-in rail sockets are prone to loosening due to wear and deformation when the adapter module is plugged and unplugged into the busbar trunking rail for a long time, causing safety hazards.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a slide rail socket for quick assembly of busbar trunking, comprising a track base, a track groove formed in the center of the top surface of the track base, and a matching adapter socket. The adapter socket has a transition strip at the center of its bottom that inserts into the track groove and slides within it. Two locking arms, symmetrically fixed to both sides of the adapter strip at the bottom of the adapter socket and slidably connected to both sides of the track base, are also provided. Both sides of the track base have sliding grooves to accommodate the sliding of the locking arms. This tight sliding connection between the locking arms and the track base effectively prevents the adapter socket from loosening due to wear and deformation during long-term use, thereby reducing safety hazards caused by a loose socket.

[0007] Preferably, the track seat has a busbar on the side corresponding to the transition bar, and the side of the transition bar has electrical contacts corresponding to the busbar.

[0008] Preferably, the busbar includes a live wire, a neutral wire, and a ground wire. The live wire and the neutral wire are located on the same side of the rail seat, and the ground wire is located on the other side of the rail seat. The power contact also has three contacts corresponding to the live wire, the neutral wire, and the ground wire.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the track groove has a first sliding surface on both sides, and the transition strip has a second sliding surface on both sides that contacts the first sliding surface.

[0010] Preferably, the materials of the first and second sliding surfaces are polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

[0011] Preferably, a plurality of sliding slot seats are slidably connected in the sliding groove, and the bottom end of each of the locking arms has a wedge-shaped locking head that engages with the sliding slot seat.

[0012] Preferably, a bottom cover is fixedly installed at the bottom of the track seat by screws.

[0013] This slide rail socket, which can quickly connect to the busbar duct, effectively prevents the adapter socket from loosening due to wear and deformation during long-term use through a tight sliding connection between the clamp arm and the rail seat, thereby reducing the safety hazards caused by loose sockets.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] This embodiment provides a slide rail type socket that can be quickly assembled with busbar trunking, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the slide rail type socket that can quickly splice busbar trunking includes a rail base 1, a rail groove 11 opened in the center of the top surface of the rail base 1, and a matching adapter socket 2. The adapter socket 2 has a transition strip 21 at the bottom center that is inserted into the rail groove 11 and slidably arranged. On the bottom of the adapter socket 2, corresponding to the two sides of the transition strip 21, there are two locking arms 24 that are symmetrically fixed and slidably connected to the two sides of the rail base 1. Both sides of the rail base 1 have a sliding groove 15 to accommodate the sliding of the locking arms 24.

[0023] In use, the adapter 21 is aligned with the track groove 11 and inserted. The locking arm 24 is deformed and opens outward under the pressure of the track seat 1. When the adapter 21 is fully inserted, the locking arm 24 springs back and locks into the slide groove 15 on the side wall of the track seat 1, completing the locking of the up and down movement, but it can slide along the length of the track seat 1. The contacts of the adapter 21 are in contact with the bus conductor, and the adapter socket 2 is energized. When pulling out, pull the adapter socket 2 forcefully, and the locking arm 24 is released from the slide groove 15, and it can be pulled out directly.

[0024] Specifically, the side of the transition busbar 21 inside the track base 1 has a busbar 12, and the side of the transition busbar 21 has electrical contacts 22 corresponding to the busbar 12. The busbar 12 includes a live wire 121, a neutral wire 122, and a ground wire 123. The live wire 121 and the neutral wire 122 are located on the same side inside the track base 1, and the ground wire 123 is located on the other side of the track base 1. The electrical contacts 22 also have three contacts corresponding to the live wire 121, the neutral wire 122, and the ground wire 123. The busbar 12 concentrates the live wire 121 and the neutral wire 122 on the same side of the track base 1, while the ground wire 123 is independent on the other side, forming a three-phase separate layout. The electrical contacts 22 are in contact with the busbar 12 through elastic conductive sheets. When the transition busbar 21 is inserted into the track groove 11, the contacts are deformed under pressure to ensure continuous electrical connection. Moreover, the separate layout can compress the height and reduce the overall thickness, which is beneficial to aesthetics and space utilization.

[0025] Furthermore, both sides of the top of the track groove 11 have a first sliding surface 13, and both sides of the adapter 21 have a second sliding surface 23 that contacts the first sliding surface 13. The first sliding surface 13 and the second sliding surface 23 are made of polytetrafluoroethylene. During the sliding process, the polytetrafluoroethylene molecular chains form a transfer film to fill the microscopic surface unevenness. After long-term use, the coefficient of friction can remain stable, reducing the sliding friction coefficient of the adapter 21 to below 0.04, which is much lower than the 0.2-0.3 of traditional metal sliding surfaces. Therefore, it improves the safety during use and is not easy to loosen.

[0026] Specifically, a number of sliding slot seats 151 are slidably connected inside the sliding groove 15, and the bottom end of the locking arm 24 has a wedge-shaped locking head 241 that engages with the sliding slot seat 151. The wedge-shaped locking head 241 adopts a double-sloped design, which matches the groove of the sliding slot seat 151. When inserted, the front slope guides the locking head to expand outward, and after it is in place, the rear slope guides the locking head to slide into the sliding slot seat 151, forming a mechanical self-locking mechanism.

[0027] Furthermore, a bottom cover 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the track base 1 with screws; the bottom cover 14 is easy to disassemble and install, facilitating subsequent maintenance.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
