[0031] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] This utility model embodiment provides a track-mounted power strip, such as Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the track power strip includes a track body 1 and a control body 2, with the control body 2 mounted on the track body 1. A first electrical connector 11 is provided inside the track body 1. The control body 2 includes a control circuit board 21 and a first conductive sheet 22. The first conductive sheet 22 is electrically connected to the first electrical connector 11. The control circuit board 21 is positioned corresponding to the first conductive sheet 22. In the height direction of the control body 2, the first conductive sheet 22 is laid flat to avoid the electronic components 211 on the control circuit board 21 that correspond to the first conductive sheet 22.

[0033] The control body 2 of this utility model includes a control circuit board 21 and a first conductive sheet 22. Since the internal space of the control body 2 is small, especially the space in its height direction, the first conductive sheet 22 is laid flat in the height direction of the control body 2. This can reduce the space occupied by the first conductive sheet 22 in the height direction of the control body 2, avoid the electronic components 211 on the control circuit board 21 corresponding to the first conductive sheet 22, and provide sufficient installation space for the control circuit board 21. This makes it possible for the control circuit board 21 to avoid the difficulty of designing and installing the first conductive sheet 22, reduce the installation difficulty of the control circuit board 21 and the first conductive sheet 22, and also help to miniaturize the control body 2.

[0034] The track body 1 also includes a second electrical connector 12. The control body 2 includes a second conductive sheet 23, and the control circuit board 21 is positioned corresponding to the second conductive sheet 23. The second conductive sheet 23 is laid flat in the height direction of the control body 2. Similar to the first conductive sheet 22, the second conductive sheet 23 is laid flat in the height direction of the control body 2, which further reduces the space occupied in the height direction, avoids the electronic components 211 at the corresponding position on the control circuit board 21, provides installation space for the electronic components 211, facilitates the further miniaturization of the control body 2, and further facilitates the installation and arrangement of the control circuit board 21 and the second electrical connector 12.

[0035] Specifically, a third electrical connector 13 is also provided inside the track body 1, and the control body 2 includes a third conductive sheet 24, with the control circuit board 21 corresponding to the third conductive sheet 24. In one embodiment, the third conductive sheet 24 is laid flat in the height direction of the control body 2. This solution further arranges the third conductive sheet 24 flat, which also saves space in the height direction of the control body. This, combined with the flat arrangement of the first conductive sheet 22 and the second conductive sheet 23, avoids the electronic components 211 on the control circuit board 21 corresponding to the third conductive sheet 24, making more reasonable use of the internal space of the control body 2. More electrical connection functions are realized in the limited space, which is beneficial to the layout and design of the control circuit board 21. In another embodiment, the third conductive sheet 24 is erected vertically in the height direction of the control body 2. The vertical arrangement of the third conductive sheet 24 simplifies the molding mold of the third conductive sheet 24, making the molding mold of the third conductive sheet 24 simpler, and also facilitates the injection molding of the third conductive sheet 24 into the main housing 28 described below.

[0036] In the width direction of the track body 1, the first electrical connector 11, the third electrical connector 13, and the second electrical connector 12 are arranged side by side in sequence. The first conductive sheet 22, the second conductive sheet 23, and the third conductive sheet 24 are also arranged side by side in sequence, corresponding to the first electrical connector 11, the third electrical connector 13, and the second electrical connector 12, respectively. By arranging the first electrical connector 11, the third electrical connector 13, and the second electrical connector 12 side by side in the width direction of the track body 1, and simultaneously arranging the first conductive sheet 22, the second conductive sheet 23, and the third conductive sheet 24 in the control body 2 side by side and corresponding to each other, it facilitates the layout and connection of the first electrical connector 11, the third electrical connector 13, the second electrical connector 12, and the first electrical sheet, the second conductive sheet 23, and the third conductive sheet 24.

[0037] Specifically, the first electrical connector 11 is a live wire connector, the second electrical connector 12 is a ground wire connector, and the third electrical connector 13 is a neutral wire connector. The first conductive piece 22 is a live wire conductive piece, the second conductive piece 23 is a ground wire conductive piece, and the third conductive piece 24 is a neutral wire conductive piece. The track body 1 on both sides of the live wire conductive piece, the ground wire conductive piece, and the neutral wire conductive piece are respectively provided with live wire connectors, ground wire connectors, and neutral wire connectors. The two ends of the live wire conductive piece, the ground wire conductive piece, and the neutral wire conductive piece are electrically connected to the live wire connector, the ground wire connector, and the neutral wire connector, respectively. The track body 1 has axially arranged sockets 15 for contact with the live wire connector, the ground wire connector, and the neutral wire connector. External plugs are inserted into the sockets 15 to make contact with the live wire connector, the ground wire connector, and the neutral wire connector to achieve power supply; details are not elaborated here.

[0038] The control unit 2 also includes a live wire external power interface 25, a ground wire external power interface 26, and a neutral wire external power interface 27. The live wire external power interface 25 and the neutral wire external power interface 27 are electrically connected to the live wire electrical connector and the neutral wire electrical connector, respectively, via the control circuit board 21, and the ground wire external power interface 26 is electrically connected to the ground wire electrical connector. The live wire external power interface 25, the ground wire external power interface 26, and the neutral wire external power interface 27 are connected to and energized by the live wire, ground wire, and neutral wire of the power supply.

[0039] The control unit 2 includes a main housing 28, within which a first electrical connector 11, a second electrical connector 12, and a third electrical connector 13 are injection molded and fixed. Injecting and fixing the first electrical connector 11, the second electrical connector 12, and the third electrical connector 13 into the main housing 28 creates an integral structure, significantly enhancing structural stability and reliability. This reduces the risk of loosening or detachment of the first electrical connector 11, the second electrical connector 12, and the third electrical connector 13 due to external impacts or vibrations, improving the stability and service life of the track power strip during long-term use. Simultaneously, by injection molding the first electrical connector 11, the second electrical connector 12, and the third electrical connector 13 into the main housing 28, they are isolated from the control circuit board 21, improving electrical safety and reducing electromagnetic interference.

[0040] Furthermore, the control body 2 can be used to control the power supply to and off of the track body 1 and to display the working status through a display screen or indicator light. For example, the control body 2 can be a known knob 29 type control base with a knob 29. The power supply is turned on and off by rotating the knob 29. That is, the functions of the control body 2 in controlling the power supply to and off of the track body 1 and displaying the working status through a display screen or indicator light can be achieved by conventional technical means in this field, and there are no specific limitations here.

[0041] Injection positioning holes 281 are formed on the main housing 28 at the locations corresponding to the first electrical connector 11, the second electrical connector 12, and the third electrical connector 13. During injection molding of the main housing 28, a fixing fixture fixes the first electrical connector 11, the second electrical connector 12, and the third electrical connector 13 at the injection positioning holes 281, so as to facilitate the injection molding of the first electrical connector 11, the second electrical connector 12, and the third electrical connector 13 into the main housing 28.

[0042] like Figure 11The second conductive piece 23 shown is connected at one end via a second electrical connector 12 and at the other end via an adapter piece 14. The adapter piece 14 is inserted into one end of the second conductive piece 23, and a locking protrusion 141 is provided on the adapter piece 14. A locking hole 121 is provided on one end of the second electrical connector 12, and the locking protrusion 141 is locked into the locking hole 121. The connection between one end of the second conductive piece 23 and the second electrical connector 12 via the adapter piece 14 makes the connection between the second conductive piece 23 and the second electrical connector 12 more convenient and facilitates assembly during the production process. Specifically, the two ends of the live wire conductive piece, the ground wire conductive piece, and the neutral wire conductive piece can be welded to the live wire electrical connector, the ground wire electrical connector, and the neutral wire electrical connector, respectively, to achieve electrical connection.

[0043] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
