Detailed Implementation
[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a track-type socket adapter in this embodiment; Figure 2This is an exploded view of the structure of a track-mounted socket adapter in this embodiment; as shown, the adapter includes: an adapter body 100; a base 200, including a lower cover 210 and a plug plate 220, wherein the adapter body 100 is fixed to the upper end of the lower cover 210; the plug plate 220 is connected to the lower end of the lower cover 210, and the plug plate 220 is used to connect to a sliding groove on the track 700; the plug plate 220 is provided with an opening groove 221, which communicates with the lower cover 210; and a first power-taking component 300. The first end of the first power-gathering component 300 is electrically connected to the adapter body 100, and the second end of the first power-gathering component 300 passes through the base 200. When the insert plate 220 is inserted into the track, the second end of the first power-gathering component 300 is connected to the first conductive electrode on the track 700. The second power-gathering component 400 has its first end rotatably electrically connected to the adapter body 100, and its second end is provided with a conductive sheet 430. The conductive sheet 430 is placed within the opening slot 221 and has a connection slot 431. When the insert plate 220 is inserted into the track, the conductive sheet 430 can rotate out of the opening slot 221 and connect to the second or third conductive electrode on the track through the connection slot 431. The drive ring 500 is rotatably disposed between the lower cover 210 and the adapter body 100, and the drive ring 500 is connected to two second power-taking components 400 respectively. By providing a connection slot 431 on the conductive side of the conductive sheet 430, when the adapter is inserted... After entering the track 700, the connecting bayonet 431 will completely fit and clamp the conductive structure inside the base 200, ensuring sufficient contact pressure and sufficient contact area between the two, thus guaranteeing excellent conductivity between the adapter and the track 700 and avoiding poor contact during use. At the same time, the connecting bayonet 431 on the conductive sheet 430 reduces the amount of material used in the conductive sheet 430 and lowers production costs. The drive ring 511 on the side of the adapter drives the second power-taking component 400 to rotate, facilitating manual operation.
[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second power-gathering component 400 is provided in two sets, and the two sets of the second power-gathering component 400 can be rotated to connect with the second conductive electrode and the third conductive electrode on the track, respectively.
[0031] In other embodiments, the second power-gathering component may be provided as a single set, with two conductive plates connected to the second end of the second power-gathering component. The second power-gathering component is rotated by a drive ring, so that the two conductive plates at the lower end of the second power-gathering component are respectively connected to the second conductive electrode and the third conductive electrode on the track.
[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first conductive electrode is E-level, the second conductive electrode is N-level, and the third conductive electrode is L-level; the first power-collecting component 300 is connected to the E-level power-collecting unit 730 on the track, and the two sets of second power-collecting components 400 are respectively connected to the N-level power-collecting unit 710 and the L-level power-collecting unit 720 on the track.
[0033] Furthermore, the opening groove 221 has an "L" shaped opening, and there are two opening grooves 221, with the two conductive sheets 430 respectively disposed in the two opening grooves 221.
[0034] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a vertical sectional view of a rail-mounted socket adapter in this embodiment.
[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first power-gathering component 300 includes: a first pin 310, with a retaining ring in the middle of the first pin 310; the first end of the first pin 310 and the retaining ring are both disposed in the first power-connecting groove of the adapter body 100; and the second end of the first pin 310 passes through the base 200; a first spring 320 is sleeved on the first end of the first pin 310 and abuts against the first power-connecting groove; the first spring 320 is used to provide a rebound force to the first pin 310. When the adapter is inserted downward into the track 700, the E-class conductive unit 730 in the track 700 presses the first pin 310, causing the first pin 310 to move upward. The first spring 320 presses the pin so that the pin is tightly pressed together with the track 700, ensuring a reliable grounding. After the adapter is pulled out of the track 700, the first spring 320 can reset the first pin 310.
[0036] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the second power supply component of a rail-mounted socket adapter in this embodiment.
[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second power-gathering component 400 includes: a second pin 410, the first end of which is rotatably connected to the adapter body 100, and the second end of which extends into the opening slot 221; the first end of the conductive sheet 430 is perpendicularly connected to the second end of the second pin 410, and the second end of the conductive sheet 430 is provided with a connection slot 431; and a rotation drive 420, which is fixedly sleeved on the second pin 410, and the rotation drive 420 is connected to the drive ring 500. See also... Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 This is a top view of a track-mounted socket adapter in this embodiment, omitting the adapter body; Figure 6 This is a partial structural diagram of a rail-mounted socket adapter in this embodiment.
[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the inner wall of the drive ring 500 is provided with a drive groove 510, and a drive block 511 is fixed in the drive groove 510. The second end of the rotary drive member 420 is provided with an opening groove 421, and the opening groove 421 is connected to the drive block 511. Specifically, when the drive ring 500 rotates, it causes the drive block to move, and the drive block 511 drives the rotary drive member 420 to rotate within the opening groove 421, thereby causing the second pin 410 to rotate.
[0039] Furthermore, the adapter body 100 is provided with a gear position mark. When the drive ring 500 rotates, the operator can know the rotation position of the conductive sheet 430 through the gear position mark.
[0040] See Figure 2 and Figure 5 Furthermore, in this embodiment, the track-type socket adapter includes two sets of gear adjustment components 600. Each set of gear adjustment components 600 includes: a locking tooth unit 610, including multiple locking teeth disposed on the inner wall of the drive ring 511; the two ends of the locking tooth unit 610 are respectively provided with an energizing tooth groove and a disengaging tooth groove, and the middle of the locking tooth unit 610 is provided with multiple transition tooth grooves; a locking unit, movably disposed on the base 200; the locking unit locking with the locking tooth unit 610; specifically, the locking unit includes: two sliding plates 621, which are fixed parallel to the base 200; a locking member 622, whose two ends are slidably connected to the two sliding plates 621 respectively; a drive spring 623, whose first end is connected to the base 200, and whose second end is connected to the locking member 622, and the locking member 622 abuts against the locking tooth unit 610 under the spring force of the drive spring 623.
[0041] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 This is one of the top views of a rail-mounted socket adapter in this embodiment; Figure 8 This is a second top view of a rail-mounted socket adapter in this embodiment.
[0042] Preferably, the height of the locking teeth at the two ends of the energized tooth groove and the removal tooth groove of the locking tooth unit 610 is higher than the height of the transition tooth. The energized tooth groove and the removal tooth groove are used to fix the position of the drive ring 511, and the transition tooth groove is used to increase the damping feel.
[0043] See Figure 7When the snap-fit 622 snaps into the extraction slot, the conductive sheet 430 retracts into the opening slot 421; at this time, the adapter can be inserted into the track 700 or removed from the track 700.
[0044] See Figure 8 When the snap-fit 622 is snapped into the energized tooth groove, the conductive sheet 430 extends out from the opening groove 421 and snaps into the second or third conductive electrode in the track 700.
[0045] See Figure 2 The drive ring 511 has a limiting opening 520 on its side wall. The socket adapter also includes a limiting member 530, which is fixed to the side of the adapter body 100 near the base 200 and extends out to the outside of the limiting opening 520.
[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, an insulating layer is fitted on the second end of the second pin 410 and the insertion plate 220 of the conductive sheet 430. The insulating layer protects and insulates the second pin 410 and the conductive sheet 430, thereby improving their service life.
[0047] As can be seen from the above, the track-type socket adapter of this utility model has a connecting slot 431 on the conductive side of the conductive sheet 430. When the adapter is inserted into the track 700, the connecting slot 431 will completely fit and clamp the conductive structure in the base 200, ensuring sufficient contact pressure and sufficient contact area between the two, thus ensuring excellent conductivity between the adapter and the track 700 and avoiding poor contact during use. At the same time, the connecting slot 431 on the conductive sheet 430 reduces the amount of material used in the conductive sheet 430 and reduces production costs. The driving ring 511 on the side of the adapter drives the second power-taking component 400 to rotate, which facilitates manual operation.
[0048] See Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a cross-sectional view of a track and adapter structure in this embodiment.
[0049] In a second aspect, this utility model provides a track for connecting the aforementioned track-type socket adapter. The track 700 includes: at least one groove disposed on the track 700; and a receiving cavity extending along the length of the track 700 and communicating with the groove. A first conductive unit is provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity, and a second conductive unit and a third conductive unit are provided on the sidewall of the receiving cavity. The first conductive unit is an E-class conductive unit 730, the second conductive unit is an N-class conductive unit 710, and the third conductive unit is an L-class conductive unit 720. When the plug plate 220 is inserted into the track, the two second power-taking components 400 can be rotated to engage with the N-class conductive unit 710 and the L-class conductive unit 720, respectively; the first power-taking component 300 is connected to the E-class power-taking unit 730.
[0050] As can be seen from the above, in this utility model, a track is provided with an N-level conductive unit 710 and an L-level conductive unit 720 in the accommodating cavity. This ensures that the conductive sheet 430 is connected to the N-level conductive unit 710 and the L-level conductive unit 720 through a connecting bayonet 431, increasing the contact pressure between the conductive sheet 430 and the conductive sheet 430 to ensure good electrical contact. When energized, it ensures sufficient contact pressure and excellent conductivity, avoiding poor contact during use.
[0051] 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.
