Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a track light and its conductive connection module. Background Technology
[0002] Existing track lights, such as the Chinese invention patent application CN118309976A, disclose an ultra-narrow track light assembly. The light fixture connects to the track via a track head. When installing and fixing the track head to the track, external force is required to engage the elastic fasteners on both sides of the outer casing with the track opening. The elastic fasteners on both sides then engage with the hooks on both sides of the track opening for fixation. However, this type of connection structure relies on the elastic fasteners, resulting in a limited load-bearing capacity and poor stability. It is prone to loosening when used with heavier light fixtures. Utility Model Content

The locking component includes a locking block. The connection body is provided with a clearance portion, and the locking block is rotatably mounted in the clearance portion to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. A locking rod is fixed on the locking block, and the locking rod extends along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the locking block. When the locking block is in the unlocked state, the locking rod is located in the clearance portion. When the locking block is in the locked state, the end of the locking rod extends out of the clearance portion for connection with the track. The connection body is provided with electrode plates for electrical connection with the track and the light fixture.

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-16 The following is a further description of the proposed solution:
[0022] Example 1
[0023] See appendix Figure 1-8 A conductive connection module for a track light, the conductive connection module 100 including a connection body 1 and a locking component mounted on the connection body 1.
[0024] The connecting body 1 is used to connect with the lamp 200.
[0025] The locking assembly includes a locking block 2; the connecting body 1 is provided with a clearance portion 11, and the locking block 2 is rotatably mounted in the clearance portion 11 to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state; a locking rod 21 is fixedly provided on the locking block 2, and the locking rod 21 extends along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the locking block 2. When the locking block 2 is in the unlocked state, the locking rod 21 is located inside the clearance portion 11; when the locking block 2 is in the locked state, the end of the locking rod 21 extends out of the clearance portion 11 for connection with the track 300.
[0026] The connecting body 1 is provided with electrode plates 5 for electrical connection with the track 300 and the lamp 200.
[0027] In this technical solution, the locking block 2 of the conductive connection module 100 rotates and engages with the connection body 1, allowing the locking rod 21 to fall into the slot 302 of the track 300 and lock. The rigid structure of the locking rod 21 provides support, thereby improving the load-bearing range and load-bearing stability of the conductive connection module 100.
[0028] When the locking lever 21 is in the unlocked state, it is located within the clearance portion 11 and does not affect the thickness of the connecting body 1. For narrower tracks 300, the connecting body 1 can be thinned for adaptation. That is, this solution is also applicable to narrower tracks 300.
[0029] The locking assembly further includes two clamping pieces 3, which are symmetrically arranged and joined together, with the locking block 2 clamped between the two clamping pieces 3. Each clamping piece 3 has a semi-hole 31, which are joined together to form a shaft hole 32. The locking block 2 includes a shaft 22 and a limiting part 23 located at the upper end of the shaft 22. The diameter of the limiting part 23 is larger than the diameter of the shaft 22 and the shaft hole 32. The shaft 22 is installed in the shaft hole 32 and rotates with the shaft hole 32. The limiting part 23 is used to prevent the shaft 22 from disengaging from the shaft hole.
[0030] The connecting body 1 has connecting grooves 12 at both ends of the clearance portion 11 that communicate with the clearance portion 11. The half-hole portion 31 of the clamping piece 3 is located inside the clearance portion 11. The two ends of the clamping piece 3 fall into the connecting grooves 12 at both ends of the clearance portion 11 and are fixed by fasteners.
[0031] In this technical solution, the locking block 2 is clamped and fixed by the clamping piece 3 and rotated with its shaft hole to achieve rotational installation. The installation structure is simple and easy to implement. In addition, the clamping piece 3 is thin and its two ends are hidden in the connecting groove 12, which will not increase the thickness of the connecting body 1 and will not affect the connection between the conductive connection module 100 and the narrow track 300.
[0032] The fastener is a rivet 4; specifically, a hollow rivet. The connecting body 1 has a first fixing hole 13 that penetrates the connecting groove 12. The two ends of the clamping piece 3 are respectively provided with second fixing holes 33. The rivet 4 includes a head 41 and a body 42. The head 41 of the rivet 4 is on one side of the connecting body 1, and the body 42 of the rivet 4 passes through the first fixing hole 13 and the second fixing hole 33 and is riveted to the other side of the connecting body 1. In this embodiment, a washer is sandwiched between the rivet 4 and the connecting body 1.
[0033] The clamp 3 of this technical solution is riveted and fixed to the connecting body 1 by the rivet 4, which makes the structure stable and not easy to loosen. Compared with screw and nut fasteners, it will not protrude excessively on the connecting body 1 and affect the thickness of the connecting body 1.
[0034] The locking rod 21 is fixed to the lower end of the shaft 22. A drive part 24 is provided below the locking rod 21. The drive part 24 is provided with a screw groove 25 for inserting a screwdriver to drive the locking block 2 to rotate. The screw groove 25 can be an existing screw groove type such as a slotted slot or a cross slot. The screw groove 25 shown in this embodiment is a slotted slot.
[0035] The conductive connection module 100 of this technical solution can switch between locked and unlocked states by rotating the locking block 2 with a screwdriver, which is suitable for situations where the track 300 is narrow and it is inconvenient to reach in.
[0036] The electrode 5 includes two electrodes (positive and negative), which are inserted into the connecting body 1. The top of the connecting body 1 has through holes 14 extending through both sides. The bottom of the connecting body 1 has a connecting seat 15 for connecting with the lamp 200. One end of the electrode 5 has a conductive protrusion 51, and the other end has a conductive pin 52. The conductive protrusions 51 of the two electrode 5 protrude from both sides of the connecting body 1 through the through holes 14, and the conductive protrusions 51 are used to electrically connect with the conductive strip 303 in the track 300. The conductive pins 52 of the two electrode 5 protrude from the bottom side of the connecting seat 15, and the conductive pins 52 are used to electrically connect with the light source of the lamp 200.
[0037] In this embodiment, the conductive protrusion 51 is curved and elastic, allowing it to elastically contact the conductive strip 303 of the track 300. The through hole 14 provides space for the conductive strip 303 to retract during elastic contact.
[0038] The conductive structure of the conductive connection module 100 in this technical solution is set at both ends of the electrode sheet 5. It conducts electricity by contacting the conductive strip 303 of the track 300 through the conductive protrusion 51. It can be energized by inserting it into the track 300. The structure is simple and easy to implement.
[0039] The locking components are provided in two sets; the two sets of locking components are respectively located at both ends of the connecting body 1.
[0040] The conductive connection module 100 of this technical solution is connected and fixed by two sets of locking components, which is balanced and stable, and further improves the load-bearing capacity of the lamp 200.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] See appendix Figure 7-11 A track light includes a track 300, a light fixture 200, and a conductive connection module 100 as described in Embodiment 1.

[0044] The track 300 is provided with a mounting groove 301 extending along its length direction, and the two side walls of the mounting groove 301 are provided with slots 302 extending along the length direction of the track 300; the conductive connection module 100 is inserted into the mounting groove 301, and the end of the locking rod 21 falls into the slot 302 when the locking block 2 is in the locked state; when the locking block 2 is in the unlocked state, the end of the locking rod 21 disengages from the slot 302 and separates from the track 300.
[0045] The track 300 is equipped with a conductive strip 303 extending along its length. Specifically, there are two conductive strips 303, which are respectively installed on the two side walls of the mounting groove 301. One end of the electrode plate 5 is in contact with the conductive strip 303 for conduction, and the other end is electrically connected to the light source of the lamp 200.
[0046] During installation, the conductive connection module 100 is fixed to the top of the lamp 200 with screws 201. The conductive pins 52 are plugged into the circuit board of the light source of the lamp 200. Other methods such as soldering or wire connection are also acceptable. Then, the conductive connection module 100 is inserted into the slot 302 of the track 300, and the conductive protrusions 51 make contact with the conductive strip 303 to conduct electricity. Finally, a screwdriver is inserted into the screw slot 25 to rotate the locking block 2 by a certain angle, preferably 90°, so that the end of the locking rod 21 enters the slot 302 and hangs on the slot wall of the slot 302, thereby connecting the conductive connection module 100 to the track 300.
[0047] During disassembly, insert a screwdriver into the screw slot 25 to rotate the locking block 2 by a certain angle, so that the locking rod 21 disengages from the slot 302 and returns to the clearance part 11, and the conductive connection module 100 can be pulled out of the mounting slot 301 and separated from the track 300.
[0048] Example 3
[0049] See appendix Figure 12-13 A conductive connection module for a track light is described in this embodiment, which differs from Embodiment 1 above in that the locking component is provided in only one set. Depending on the type of light fixture 200, such as a linear light, two or more conductive connection modules 100 may be used in combination.
[0050] Example 4
[0051] See appendix Figure 14-16 A track light includes a track 300, a light fixture 200, and two conductive connection modules 100 as described in Embodiment 3.
[0052] Two conductive connection modules 100 are installed on the lamp 200 and are arranged symmetrically. In this embodiment, the connector 15 of the conductive connection module 100 is installed on the lamp 200 by connecting it to the top of the lamp 200 with screws.
[0053] The track 300 is provided with a mounting groove 301 extending along its length direction, and the two side walls of the mounting groove 301 are provided with slots 302 extending along the length direction of the track 300; two conductive connection modules 100 are inserted into the mounting groove 301; when the locking block 2 is in the locked state, the end of the locking rod 21 falls into the slot 302; when the locking block 2 is in the unlocked state, the end of the locking rod 21 disengages from the slot 302 and separates from the track 300.
[0054] A conductive strip 303 extending along its length is installed inside the track 300. One end of the electrode 5 is in contact with the conductive strip 303 and conducts electricity, while the other end is electrically connected to the light source of the lamp 200.
[0055] For installation instructions, please refer to Example 2.
[0056] For the elongated lamp 200, a balanced and stable connection can be achieved by installing conductive connection modules 100 at both ends of the lamp 200, eliminating the need to set up an elongated connection body 1 to match the lamp 200, thus saving costs.
