Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch and electrical appliance technology, specifically to a novel track socket. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the profiles of track sockets are mostly made of metal. After radar elements are installed inside, the metal material will have a strong shielding and attenuation effect on the radar signal, making it difficult for the radar elements to accurately detect the position and working status of the plug-in module in the track slot, thus affecting the intelligent control effect of the track socket. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a novel track socket.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A novel track socket includes a track body and junction boxes disposed on both sides of the track body. The track body has a plug-in surface, and the plug-in surface has a track through groove opened along the length direction of the plug-in surface. The track through groove is disposed through the length direction of the plug-in surface. A radar element is disposed in at least one side of the junction box. The junction box with the radar element protrudes towards the track through groove to form a radar wave transmission structure. The radar wave transmission structure extends into the track through groove for radar wave transmission.

[0006] Preferably, the junction box includes a first junction box and a second junction box. A power-conducting mechanism is provided inside the first junction box. A light strip electrically connected to the power-conducting mechanism is provided on the track body. The radar element is disposed inside the first junction box. The radar wave transmission structure is disposed at the bottom of the first junction box and is disposed along the length direction of the top of the first junction box. A groove-shaped structure is formed by recessing the inner wall of the first junction box on the side near the radar wave transmission structure at the position corresponding to the position of the radar wave transmission structure.

[0007] Preferably, the power-on mechanism includes a circuit board and a terminal block assembly. The terminal block assembly includes an N-terminal, an L-terminal, and an E-terminal. Each N-terminal and L-terminal has a wiring hole. Corresponding wires are provided between the circuit board and the N-terminal and L-terminal, respectively. The wires are connected to the circuit board and the N-terminal and L-terminal, respectively. The wires extend into the corresponding wiring holes on the N-terminal and L-terminal and connect to the N-terminal and L-terminal. The radar element and the light strip are both electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0008] Preferably, a light control button is provided on the first junction box, and a button hole corresponding to the light control button is opened on the first junction box. One end of the light control button extends into the button hole and is connected to the circuit board. The light control button realizes the switching on and off of the light strip and the brightness adjustment through the circuit board.

[0009] Preferably, both the first and second junction boxes are equipped with a power-conducting mechanism, and the light strip is connected to the power-conducting mechanism in the first junction box.

[0010] Preferably, the width of the track groove is 6.5mm ± 0.3mm.

[0011] Preferably, the radar element is a radar sensor.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By installing radar elements on at least one side of the junction boxes on both sides of the track body, and designing a protruding radar wave transmission structure on the corresponding junction box facing the track groove, this structure extends into the track groove, ensuring that radar waves can accurately transmit signals within the track groove range. Simultaneously, since the track body (i.e., the track profile) is mostly made of aluminum, which has a strong shielding effect on radar wave propagation, extending the radar wave transmission structure directly into the track groove effectively reduces the interference of the aluminum profile on the radar signal, allowing the radar elements to more sensitively sense human movement, thereby controlling the light strip to turn on or off, and serving as a trigger condition for the ambient light.

[0016] Appendix Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the interior of the first junction box. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0020] As attached Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses a novel track socket, including a track body 1 and junction boxes 2 disposed on both sides of the track body 1. The track body 1 has a plug-in surface 3, and the plug-in surface 3 has a track through groove 4 opened along the length direction of the plug-in surface 3. The track through groove 4 is disposed through the length direction of the plug-in surface 3. A radar element 5 is disposed in at least one side of the junction box 2. A radar wave transmission structure 6 is formed by protruding from the junction box 2 with the radar element 5 towards the track through groove 4. The radar wave transmission structure 6 extends into the track through groove 4 for radar wave transmission. Specifically, in this design, by selecting at least one side of the junction boxes 2 on both sides of the track body 1 to install the radar element 5, and designing a protruding radar wave transmission structure 6 on the corresponding junction box 2 towards the track through groove 4, this structure extends into the track through groove 4, ensuring that the radar wave can accurately transmit signals within the range of the track through groove 4. Meanwhile, since the track body 1 (i.e., the track profile) is mostly made of aluminum, which has a strong shielding effect on radar wave propagation, extending the radar wave transmission structure 6 directly into the track groove 4 effectively reduces the interference of the aluminum profile on the radar signal. This allows the radar element 5 to more sensitively detect human movement, thereby controlling the light strip 9 to turn on or off and serving as a trigger condition for the ambient light. This achieves a combination of the aluminum profile and the radar element 5, ensuring both the product's appearance and the normal transmission of the radar signal. The metal shielding effect of the profile does not reduce detection sensitivity, solving the problem of severe signal attenuation after installing radar elements in existing metal profile track sockets, and improving the intelligent user experience of the track socket.

[0021] Specifically, radar element 5 can be a 24GHz or 5.8GHz radar sensor from existing technologies. It has non-contact detection capabilities and can identify the presence, movement status, and distance information of objects by emitting and receiving radar waves. Radar element 5 is also electrically connected to circuit board 11, thereby forming a linkage control with light strip 9. Through the sensing detection of radar element 5, when it detects that a user is approaching the track socket or operating the socket, it automatically turns on light strip 9 to provide illumination, making it convenient for users to plug and unplug modules in low-light environments. After the user leaves, it automatically turns off light strip 9, realizing intelligent control and reducing unnecessary energy consumption.

[0022] Furthermore, the junction box 2 includes a first junction box 7 and a second junction box 8. A power-conducting mechanism is disposed within the first junction box 7. A light strip 9 electrically connected to the power-conducting mechanism is disposed on the track body 1. The radar element 5 is disposed within the first junction box 7. The radar wave transmission structure 6 is disposed at the bottom of the first junction box 7 and extends along the length of the top of the first junction box 7. A groove-shaped structure 10 is recessed on the inner wall of the first junction box 7 near the radar wave transmission structure 6, corresponding to the position of the radar wave transmission structure 6. Specifically, in this embodiment, the power-conducting mechanism is used to connect to an external power source and provide power support to the light strip 9 on the track body 1, enabling the light strip 9 to illuminate synchronously when the plug-in module is working, thus serving as an indicator. Integrating the radar element 5 within the first junction box 7 fully utilizes the internal space of the junction box 2, reducing the need for additional installation components. The design of the groove structure 10 provides a more stable installation position for the radar element 5, while avoiding direct contact between the element and the inner wall of the junction box 2, reducing the impact of vibration or external pressure on the radar element 5, further ensuring the stable transmission of radar signals. In addition, the concave groove structure 10 can make the junction box 2 thinner at this point, which helps the radar waves to penetrate and transmit more smoothly, improving the signal penetration efficiency.

[0023] Furthermore, the power-on mechanism includes a circuit board 11 and a terminal assembly 12. The terminal assembly 12 includes an N-terminal 13, an L-terminal 14, and an E-terminal 15. Both the N-terminal 13 and the L-terminal 14 have wiring holes 16. Corresponding wires 17 are respectively provided between the circuit board 11 and the N-terminal 13 and the L-terminal 14. The wires 17 are connected to the circuit board 11 and the N-terminal 13 and the L-terminal 14, respectively. The wires 17 extend into the corresponding wiring holes 16 on the N-terminal 13 and the L-terminal 14 and connect to them. The radar element 5 and the light strip 9 are both electrically connected to the circuit board 11. Specifically, in this embodiment, the terminal assembly 12 connects to an external power source through the N-terminal 13, the L-terminal 14, and the E-terminal 15. The wiring holes 16 on the N-terminal 13 and the L-terminal 14 are used to insert external wires 17. After the wires 17 extend into the wiring holes 16, they are tightly connected to the terminals to ensure the stability of power transmission. Circuit board 11, as the core control component, forms circuits with N-terminal 13 and L-terminal 14 via wires 17, simultaneously providing power and control signals to radar element 5 and light strip 9. When an external power source is connected, current is input to circuit board 11 via terminal assembly 12. Circuit board 11 controls the illumination of light strip 9 based on the plug-in module status detected by radar element 5, achieving real-time indication of the plug-in module's operating status. The structural design of the entire power supply mechanism ensures both the safety of power transmission and the coordinated operation of radar detection and light indication.

[0024] Furthermore, a light control button 18 is provided on the first junction box 7, and a button hole 19 corresponding to the light control button 18 is opened on the first junction box 7. One end of the light control button 18 extends into the button hole 19 and is connected to the circuit board 11. The light control button 18 realizes the switching on and off and brightness adjustment of the light strip 9 through the circuit board 11. Specifically, in this embodiment, the light control button 18 adopts a push-button design, and the user can turn the light strip 9 on and off by pressing it. The light control button 18 controls the light strip 9 and makes it have three modes: normally off, normally on, and sensing. The three modes cycle. In the normally off state, the ambient light is off and the front indicator light is off. In the normally on state, the light strip flashes once as a prompt and the front indicator light is on. In the sensing state, the light strip flashes several times and the front indicator light remains lit.

[0025] Furthermore, both the first junction box 7 and the second junction box 8 are equipped with a power-conducting mechanism, and the light strip 9 is connected to the power-conducting mechanism in the first junction box. Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first junction box 7 and the second junction box 8 are equipped with a power-conducting mechanism, and both power-conducting mechanisms are connected to the conductive strip in the track socket. This allows for dual-end wiring, meaning the user can choose to connect the power supply from either the first junction box 7 or the second junction box 8 according to actual installation needs, improving installation flexibility and applicability. When one junction box malfunctions or requires maintenance, the power-conducting mechanism at the other end can still ensure the basic power supply function of the track socket, improving product reliability. Simultaneously, the dual-end power-conducting mechanism provides a more balanced current distribution, effectively reducing the load pressure on the wires and terminals when using single-end wiring, extending the product's service life.

[0026] Furthermore, the width of the track groove 4 is 6.5mm ± 0.3mm. Specifically, in this embodiment, the width of the track groove 4 is precisely designed. The size range of 6.5mm ± 0.3mm ensures a stable fit between the plug-in module and the track body 1, ensuring smooth insertion, while also providing sufficient clamping force after the module is inserted to prevent loosening or falling off during use. Simultaneously, this width also provides reasonable space for signal propagation of the radar wave transmission structure 6 within the track groove 4, avoiding the limitation of radar wave propagation path due to an excessively narrow groove, which would affect detection accuracy, and also preventing a decrease in the structural strength of the track body 1 or material waste due to an excessively wide groove, thus achieving a balance between functionality and structural stability.

[0027] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
