Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lighting device technology, and in particular to a simple snap-fit ​​conductive module. Background Technology

[0002] Track lights, as a type of directional lighting device with flexible adjustment capabilities, typically consist of a power supply rail, a luminaire body that slides along the rail, and a matching power supply assembly. Conductive copper plates are installed at the connection between the luminaire body and the rail. When these plates contact the conductive metal strips inside the rail, the track light is powered on and illuminated. The luminaire can move along the length of the rail and adjust its illumination angle to achieve precise lighting of specific areas. Furthermore, the number of luminaires can be increased or decreased according to lighting needs, offering modular expansion advantages.

[0003] Existing track lights are mainly divided into two types: AC high voltage type and low voltage magnetic type. The former is electrically connected to the track through a mechanical plug, while the latter relies on a magnetic structure to achieve quick installation and disassembly. Both are widely used in various scenarios such as home lighting without main lights, commercial store displays, museum exhibit lighting, and office local lighting, and can meet the needs of key lighting or whole-area lighting in different spaces.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the reliability of the connection between the existing track lights and the track is insufficient, which can easily affect the electrical connection between the lights and the track, and there is a risk that the lights will detach from the track, requiring workers to reinstall them, resulting in unnecessary workload. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To improve the stability and reliability of the connection between the lamp and the track, and to prevent the lamp from falling and being damaged, this application provides a simple snap-fit ​​conductive module.

[0006] This application provides a simple snap-fit ​​conductive module using the following technical solution: A simple snap-fit ​​conductive module includes a conductive flexible rail, a conductive metal strip, an upper cover, a lower cover, and a conductive copper strip. The conductive flexible rail has a T-shaped groove along its length, and the conductive metal strip is disposed in the T-shaped groove. The upper cover and the lower cover are respectively located on both sides of the conductive flexible rail, and the conductive copper strip is disposed on one side of the upper cover and is in contact with the conductive metal strip. An insert plate is connected to the upper cover, and an anti-detachment block is connected to the insert plate. The thickness of the anti-detachment block gradually increases in the direction away from the lower cover. A baffle is connected to the lower cover, and a slot is formed between the baffle and the lower cover. The slot is used for the insert plate and the anti-detachment block to pass through. When the upper cover and the lower cover are fastened together, the anti-detachment block abuts against one side of the baffle. The upper cover has several insert plates spaced apart, and the lower cover has several baffles spaced apart; both the upper and lower covers are made of plastic, and the baffles have elastic deformation capability.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper cover and the lower cover are located on both sides of the conductive flexible rail. By inserting the insert plate into the slot, the anti-detachment block will abut against the baffle after passing through the slot, restricting the upper cover and the lower cover from moving away from each other, so as to achieve the interlocking of the upper cover and the lower cover, thereby fixing the upper cover and the lower cover on the conductive flexible rail.

[0008] The conductive metal strip is installed on the conductive flexible rail, and the conductive copper strip is installed on the top cover. The lamp can be bolted to the top cover and electrically connected to the conductive copper strip. Conductivity is achieved by the conductive copper strip touching the conductive metal strip.

[0009] Preferably, a positioning groove is provided on one side of the top cover for installing the conductive copper strip; a positioning post is connected in the positioning groove and inserted into the through hole of the conductive copper strip; the conductive copper strip includes straight segments and curved segments connected to each other, the curved segments are used to contact the conductive metal strip, and the straight segments are engaged in the positioning groove.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the conductive copper strip can be snapped into the positioning groove to fix the position of the conductive copper strip; at the same time, the positioning post can be inserted into the pre-reserved through hole on the conductive copper strip to restrict the horizontal movement of the conductive copper strip, prevent the relative position of the conductive copper strip and the top cover from changing, and improve the stability of the position of the conductive copper strip.

[0011] Preferably, the anti-detachment block is in the shape of a right trapezoid, with the upper base of the trapezoid facing the conductive flexible rail.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes a compression spring, the upper cover has an installation groove, the anti-detachment block is raised and lowered in the installation groove, the two ends of the compression spring are respectively connected to the upper cover and the anti-detachment block, and the elastic force direction of the compression spring is parallel to the movement direction of the anti-detachment block.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the upper and lower covers need to be fastened together, pressure can first be applied to the anti-detachment block, compressing the spring and causing the anti-detachment block to enter the mounting groove, thus facilitating the insertion plate to pass smoothly through the slot. Subsequently, the pressure on the anti-detachment block is released, and under the elastic restoring force of the compression spring, the anti-detachment block extends out of the mounting groove and abuts against one side of the baffle, thereby restricting the upper and lower covers from moving away from each other.

[0014] Preferably, the upper cover has a sliding groove that communicates with the mounting groove, and sliders are connected to both sides of the anti-detachment block, with the sliders slidingly connected within the sliding groove.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the slider and the groove cooperate with each other to restrict the anti-detachment block to only make linear movements, thus preventing the anti-detachment block from coming out of the mounting groove. The direction of movement of the anti-detachment block is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the top cover.

[0016] Preferably, the outer surfaces of both the upper and lower covers are coated with a paint layer.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the paint layer can increase the aesthetics of the outer surface of the upper and lower covers and enhance the beauty of the track lights when they are lit.

[0018] Preferably, the lower cover has a plurality of protrusions connected to the side facing the conductive flexible rail, the protrusions being parallel to each other and spaced apart, and a groove being formed between adjacent protrusions.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the presence of the protrusions can, on the one hand, increase the structural strength of the lower cover and reduce the possibility of breakage and damage. On the other hand, the presence of each protrusion makes the side of the lower cover that contacts the conductive flexible rail uneven, increasing the coefficient of friction between the lower cover and the conductive flexible rail, and improving the connection stability between the two.

[0020] Preferably, the conductive flexible rail has a material-saving cavity, which is located on one side of the T-shaped groove and is arranged along the length of the conductive flexible rail.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the material-saving cavity can save on the consumption of conductive flexible rail material, making the conductive flexible rail lighter and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: (1) By setting an interlocking upper cover and a lower cover, the upper cover and the lower cover are stably installed on the conductive soft rail. The lamp is fixedly connected to the upper cover and electrically connected to the conductive copper strip. The conductive copper strip touches the conductive metal strip to achieve conductivity. Due to the tight fit between the upper cover and the lower cover, the stability of the lamp can be improved, making it less likely for the lamp to fall off the conductive soft rail.

[0023] (2) By setting a positioning groove on the top cover, the positioning groove can be used to snap the conductive copper strip, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the conductive copper strip.

[0024] (3) By setting a paint layer, the paint layer can increase the aesthetics of the outer surface of the upper and lower covers and improve the visual appeal of the track lights. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples shown in this application, as well as the features of those embodiments or examples.

[0032] This application discloses a simple snap-fit ​​conductive module. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2The conductive module includes a conductive flexible rail 1, a conductive metal strip 2, an upper cover 3, a lower cover 4, and a conductive copper strip 5. The conductive flexible rail 1 has a T-shaped groove 6 along its length, and the conductive metal strip 2 is installed within the T-shaped groove 6. The conductive flexible rail 1 also has a material-saving cavity 16, which is located along the length of the conductive flexible rail 1 and on one side of the T-shaped groove 6. The upper cover 3 and lower cover 4 are located on opposite sides of the conductive flexible rail 1. The conductive copper strip 5 is installed on the side of the upper cover 3 facing the conductive flexible rail 1 and is in contact with the conductive metal strip 2. The lamp can be secured to the upper cover 3 by bolts or other fixing methods. The lamp's circuitry is electrically connected to the conductive copper strip 5, and conductivity is achieved through the contact between the conductive copper strip 5 and the conductive metal strip 2.

[0033] An insert plate 7 is fixedly connected to the upper cover 3, and an anti-detachment block 8 is connected to the insert plate 7. The anti-detachment block 8 is in the shape of a right trapezoid, with the upper base of the right trapezoid facing the conductive flexible rail 1, so that the thickness of the anti-detachment block 8 gradually increases in the direction away from the lower cover 4. A baffle 9 is horizontally fixedly connected to the lower cover 4, and a slot 10 is formed between the baffle 9 and the lower cover 4. The slot 10 is used for the insert plate 7 and the anti-detachment block 8 to pass through. When the upper cover 3 and the lower cover 4 are fastened together, the anti-detachment block 8 abuts against one side of the baffle 9. Among them, a number of insert plates 7 are distributed at intervals on the upper cover 3. In this embodiment, there are four insert plates 7. A number of baffle plates 9 are distributed at intervals on the lower cover 4. The number of baffle plates 9 is equal to the number of insert plates 7. The positions of each slot 10 and insert plate 7 correspond to each other. During installation, insert plate 7 into slot 10. Anti-detachment block 8 will abut against baffle 9 after passing through slot 10, restricting the upper cover 3 and lower cover 4 from moving away from each other, so as to achieve the interlocking of upper cover 3 and lower cover 4, thereby fixing upper cover 3 and lower cover 4 on conductive soft rail 1.

[0034] Both the upper cover 3 and the lower cover 4 are made of plastic, making them lightweight. The outer surfaces of both covers are coated with paint, which enhances their aesthetic appeal and improves the overall look of the track light. The plastic baffle 9 has elastic deformation capability; when subjected to external force (not exceeding the force connecting the baffle 9 and the lower cover 4), it can rotate relative to the lower cover 4 to a certain extent.

[0035] Specifically, a positioning groove 11 is provided on one side of the upper cover 3. The positioning groove 11 is used for positioning and installing the conductive copper strip 5. A positioning post 17 is fixedly connected in the positioning groove 11. The positioning post 17 is inserted into the through hole of the conductive copper strip 5, restricting the horizontal movement of the conductive copper strip 5, preventing changes in the relative position of the conductive copper strip 5 and the upper cover 3, and improving the stability of the position of the conductive copper strip 5. The conductive copper strip 5 includes interconnected straight segments and curved segments. The curved segments are used to contact the conductive metal strip 2, and the straight segments are engaged in the positioning groove 11.

[0036] Combination Figure 3In this embodiment, the upper cover 3 has a mounting groove 12, and the anti-detachment block 8 is ellipsably disposed within the mounting groove 12. The upper cover 3 and the anti-detachment block 8 are connected by a compression spring 13. The direction of the spring force of the compression spring 13 is parallel to the direction of movement of the anti-detachment block 8, and the direction of movement of the anti-detachment block 8 is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the upper cover 3. The upper cover 3 has a sliding groove that communicates with the mounting groove 12. Sliding blocks 14 are connected to both sides of the anti-detachment block 8, and the two sliding blocks 14 are respectively slidably connected within the two sliding grooves. The sliding blocks 14 and the sliding grooves cooperate with each other to restrict the anti-detachment block 8 to only linear movement, preventing the anti-detachment block 8 from detaching from the mounting groove 12.

[0037] When the upper cover 3 and lower cover 4 need to be fastened together, pressure can be applied to the anti-detachment block 8 first, compressing the compression spring 13 and causing the anti-detachment block 8 to enter the mounting groove 12, thus facilitating the insertion plate 7 to pass smoothly through the slot 10. Then, the pressure on the anti-detachment block 8 is released. Under the elastic restoring force of the compression spring 13, the anti-detachment block 8 extends out of the mounting groove 12 and abuts against one side of the baffle 9, thus preventing the upper cover 3 and lower cover 4 from moving away from each other. When the elastic force of the compression spring 13 and the weight of the anti-detachment block 8 are balanced, part of the anti-detachment block 8 is inside the mounting groove 12, while the other part is outside the mounting groove 12 and abuts against the baffle 9.

[0038] Furthermore, a number of protrusions 15 are fixedly connected to the side of the lower cover 4 facing the conductive flexible rail 1. The protrusions 15 are arranged along the length of the conductive flexible rail 1, are parallel to each other and spaced apart, and form grooves between adjacent protrusions 15. All protrusions 15 are in the same plane and are in close contact with the conductive flexible rail 1. The presence of the protrusions 15 increases the structural strength of the lower cover 4 and reduces the possibility of breakage and damage. On the other hand, the presence of each protrusion 15 makes the side of the lower cover 4 that is in contact with the conductive flexible rail 1 uneven, increasing the coefficient of friction between the lower cover 4 and the conductive flexible rail 1 and improving the stability of their connection.

[0039] The implementation principle of a simple snap-fit ​​conductive module in this application embodiment is as follows: the lamp is fixedly connected to the upper cover 3 and electrically connected to the conductive copper strip 5. The upper cover 3 and the lower cover 4 are snapped together on both sides of the conductive flexible rail 1, so that the lamp is stably installed on the conductive flexible rail 1 and is not easy to fall off. Conductivity is achieved by the conductive copper strip 5 of the upper cover 3 touching the conductive metal strip 2, so that the lamp can be lit to achieve illumination.

[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
