Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power rail socket technology, specifically to a housing and a power rail. Background Technology

[0002] A power rail outlet typically consists of an adapter and a power rail. The adapter is electrically connected to the power rail, and the power rail is electrically connected to an external power source, allowing the power rail outlet to supply power to electrical appliances. The adapter can slide along the power rail, giving the power rail outlet the advantage of flexible configuration. This allows the adapter's position on the power rail to be adjusted to meet user needs. If one adapter is insufficient, additional adapters can be added to the power rail.

[0003] Electric rails typically consist of a support frame and a housing. The support frame is used for mounting onto a supporting object. The housing is mounted on the support frame, thereby mounting the electric rails onto the supporting object.

[0004] However, in existing technologies, the housing body is typically snapped together with the support frame. This connection method makes it inconvenient to disassemble the power rails. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a housing and an electric rail that facilitates both easy installation and easy disassembly of the electric rail.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, this application provides a housing for use in an electric rail, the housing being mounted on a supporting object; the housing includes a support frame and a housing body, the support frame being mounted on the supporting object. The support frame includes a support plate, the support plate having an angle α with the vertical direction, 0°≤α<90°. A limiting space is provided on one side of the housing body. The support plate extends into and is confined within the limiting space, for suspending the housing body on the support frame.

[0007] When using the above technical solution, after installing the support plate on the supporting object, the side of the housing body with the limiting space can be positioned facing the support plate. Then, the housing body is brought close to the support frame, and the limiting space is initially aligned with the support plate. Next, the housing body can be lifted upwards, allowing the support plate to embed into the entrance of the limiting space. Then, the housing body is moved downwards, with the support plate acting as a sliding guide. Using gravity, the housing body slides downwards relative to the support plate, causing the support plate to slide into the limiting space, thereby suspending the housing body on the support frame. The installation of the power rail is relatively convenient.

[0008] When the power rail needs to be repaired or replaced, the housing body can be lifted upwards, causing the support plate to detach from the limiting space, thereby separating the housing body from the support frame.

[0009] At this point, when disassembling the power rails, the housing body can be lifted upwards to detach it from the support frame. This facilitates operation, significantly reduces disassembly time, lowers the skill requirements for operators, and makes subsequent maintenance, replacement, or upgrades easier.

[0010] Furthermore, when the shell body is suspended on the support frame, the support plate makes limiting contact with the shell body, and the contact between the support plate and the shell body is surface contact. This avoids stress concentration, allowing the support frame to support heavier loads without easily deforming or being damaged.

[0011] In one possible implementation, an extension plate is provided on the side of the shell body near the support frame, and the extension plate and the side of the shell body near the support frame enclose a limiting space.

[0012] When using the above technical solution, the limiting space can be formed by stamping or by setting an extension plate on the side of the shell body near the support frame. This enriches the ways to set the limiting space and facilitates selection based on actual conditions.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the support frame further includes a mounting plate for mounting onto the supported object. One side of the support plate is attached to the mounting plate.

[0014] When adopting the above technical solution, the support frame includes a mounting plate, which is used to mount the supporting object, and the supporting plate is used to support the housing body. The mounting plate and the supporting plate can be set separately. In this case, the material of the mounting plate can be set according to different supporting objects to adapt to different connection methods between the mounting plate and the supporting object, thus expanding the applicability of the support frame.

[0015] The large contact area between the mounting plate and the supporting object provides a stable and distributed stress surface, allowing the weight and load of the power rail to be transferred more evenly to the supporting object, avoiding stress concentration. This reduces the possibility of loosening and detachment due to long-term load.

[0016] In addition, the mounting plate design facilitates its placement on the supporting structure, simplifying the installation of the power rails.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the side of the extension plate away from the connection with the housing body abuts against the mounting plate.

[0018] When the above technical solution is adopted, after the housing body is suspended on the support frame, the support plate makes limiting contact with the inner wall of the limiting space, and the support plate provides an upward supporting force to the housing body. At the same time, the side of the extension plate away from the connection with the housing body abuts against the mounting plate, and the mounting plate provides a downward force to the extension plate.

[0019] The contact between the extension plate and the mounting plate effectively adds a rigid stop point to the shell body in the vertical direction. This increases the contact area between the support frame and the shell body, resulting in a more balanced force distribution on the shell body and improving its stability when suspended from the support frame.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the top of the support plate is supported at the top of the limiting space.

[0021] When the above technical solution is adopted, the bearing plate can occupy more space within the limiting space, and there is more overlap between the bearing plate and the shell body, which can improve the stability of the shell body suspended on the bearing frame.

[0022] In one possible implementation, a recessed portion is provided on the side of the housing body near the support frame, which is away from the support frame, and a limiting space is formed between the recessed portion and the extension plate.

[0023] When the above technical solution is adopted, a limiting space is formed between the recess and the extension plate, which can reduce the size of the shell in the direction perpendicular to the support surface and reduce the space occupied by the power rail.

[0024] In one possible implementation, α = 0°, and both the extension plate and the mounting plate are parallel to the vertical direction.

[0025] When the above technical solution is adopted, after the shell body is installed on the support frame, the support plate, extension plate and mounting plate are all parallel and parallel to the vertical direction.

[0026] In practical implementation, the dimensions of the limiting space and the bearing plate in the direction perpendicular to the support surface of the supported object can be reasonably designed so that both surfaces of the bearing plate parallel to the support surface are in contact with the wall of the limiting space. Simultaneously, the distance between the bearing plate and the mounting plate in the direction perpendicular to the support surface of the supported object, as well as the dimensions of the extension plate in the direction perpendicular to the support surface of the supported object, can be reasonably designed so that both surfaces of the extension plate parallel to the support surface are in contact with the bearing plate and the mounting plate, respectively.

[0027] This ensures a tight fit between the housing and the support frame, enhancing the stability of the housing mounted on the support frame. Furthermore, it strengthens the structural strength and overall stability of the power rail.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the housing body has a recess for accommodating wiring terminals. The housing also includes a protective plate that covers the opening of the recess.

[0029] When the above technical solution is adopted, the protective plate can protect the wiring terminals, prevent the wiring terminals from being exposed, effectively block external foreign objects from directly contacting the wiring terminals, and prevent the wiring terminals from being deformed, loosened, broken or damaged due to accidental collision, scratch or squeezing.

[0030] Meanwhile, the protective plate encloses the terminals within the recess, significantly reducing the accumulation of contaminants such as dust, fibers, and metal shavings on the terminals. This is crucial for maintaining phase-to-phase insulation of the terminals and preventing short circuits and leakage, especially in dusty and humid environments.

[0031] Furthermore, the protective plate forms a physical barrier, reducing the risk of users accidentally touching live terminals, thereby effectively preventing electric shock accidents and improving safety design standards.

[0032] In addition, hiding the wiring terminals in the groove and covering them with a protective plate can keep the outer surface of the power rail smooth, clean and without protrusions, avoiding the messy feeling caused by exposed screws or wires and improving the overall aesthetics of the power rail.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the protective plate has a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other, the first side being rotatably connected to the housing body. The protective plate has a protected position and an open position relative to the housing body, and when the protective plate is in the protected position, the second side is engaged with the housing body.

[0034] When the above technical solution is adopted, the protective plate is snapped into the shell body. When connecting or disassembling the protective plate to the shell body, no additional tools are required, and it can be done in one step. This reduces the number of parts and steps, simplifies the structure, and saves time and costs.

[0035] At the same time, it is easy to operate and requires less skill from operators, reducing yield problems caused by operational errors.

[0036] In one possible implementation, a latch is provided on the groove wall corresponding to the position on the second side.

[0037] The protective plate includes a protective plate body and a blocking and limiting member. The protective plate body has a first side and a second side, and the blocking and limiting member is disposed on the second side.

[0038] The blocking and limiting component includes a transition plate and a blocking and limiting plate, with one side of the transition plate disposed on the protective plate body. When the protective plate is in the protective position, the transition plate extends from the protective plate body toward the bottom of the groove. One side of the blocking and limiting plate is disposed on the side of the transition plate away from the protective plate body, and the blocking and limiting plate extends outward from the side connected to the transition plate.

[0039] The blocking and limiting plate is provided with a slot that mates with the latch. The blocking and limiting plate has a limiting position and a releasing position relative to the latch. When the blocking and limiting plate is in the limiting position, the latch engages with the slot, preventing the protective plate from being in the protective position. When the blocking and limiting plate is in the releasing position, the latch disengages from the slot, allowing the protective plate to rotate from the protective position to the open position.

[0040] When the above technical solution is adopted, when the protective plate is rotated so that the second side rotates around the first side and the blocking and limiting member is rotated close to the buckle, the operator can continue to rotate the protective plate, and the buckle applies an elastic force to the blocking and limiting plate to move closer to the transition plate.

[0041] Continue rotating the protective plate until the buckle aligns with the slot and slides into the slot. At this point, the blocking and limiting plate is in the limiting position, and the protective plate is in the protective position.

[0042] Accordingly, when the operator presses the blocking limit plate, causing the blocking limit plate to elastically act on the transition plate and rotate towards the side closer to the transition plate, that is, when the blocking limit plate rotates away from the latch and causes the latch to disengage from the slot, the protective plate is allowed to rotate from the protected position to the open position. The protective plate can be rotated to switch from the protected position to the open position.

[0043] In one possible implementation, a guide slope is provided on the side of the blocking and limiting plate near the buckle. The guide slope is inclined toward the buckle in the depth direction of the groove, and the guide slope is located on the side of the groove near the bottom of the groove.

[0044] When the above technical solution is adopted, during the process of rotating the protective plate from the open position to the protective position, the buckle can act on the guide slope, which makes it easier for the buckle to slide into the slot and can reduce damage to the blocking limit plate.

[0045] In one possible implementation, the housing body has two first surfaces perpendicular to the vertical direction. Each of the two first surfaces has a protrusion.

[0046] When the above technical solution is adopted, the protrusion can act as a reinforcing rib, which can significantly increase the shell body's resistance to bending and torsional deformation in a specific direction, and prevent the shell body from collapsing, breaking or excessively deforming when subjected to force or pressure.

[0047] The protrusions increase the local rigidity of the housing and change its natural frequency, which helps to disperse and absorb the energy of impacts and vibrations, protecting the internal components from damage.

[0048] In a second aspect, this application provides an electric track comprising the housing described in any possible implementation of the first aspect.

[0049] The technical effects of the electric track provided in the second aspect can be referred to the technical effects of the shell provided in the first aspect, and will not be elaborated here. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0061] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims and drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0062] The term "embodiment" as used herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of the phrase "embodiment" in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0063] The directional terms appearing in the following description refer to the directions shown in the figures and are not intended to limit the specific structure of this application. For example, in the description of this application, the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the figures. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0064] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification and claims of this application or in the aforementioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects rather than to describe a specific order, and may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0065] In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more (including two), and similarly, "multiple groups" means two or more (including two groups).

[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides a power rail. In practice, the power rail is generally used in combination with the adapter 20 to form a power rail socket.

[0067] In practice, the power rail is electrically connected to an external power source to receive current from the external power supply. Adapter 20 is electrically connected to the power rail, and one side of adapter 20 has at least one set of sockets that mate with the plugs of electrical appliances. When the plug of an electrical appliance is inserted into the corresponding socket, the power rail socket can supply power to the appliance.

[0068] The adapter 20 can slide on the power rail, giving the power rail socket the advantage of flexible configuration. Thus, the position of the adapter 20 on the power rail can be adjusted to meet user needs.

[0069] If the number of sockets on adapter 20 is insufficient to meet user needs, adapter 20 can be added to the power rail to ensure that the number of sockets meets user needs, allowing users to connect multiple electrical appliances to the power rail sockets.

[0070] In practice, an electric track typically consists of a support frame and a housing. The support frame is used for mounting on a supporting object. The housing is mounted on the support frame, thereby mounting the electric track onto the supporting object. The supporting object can be a wall or cabinet, etc.

[0071] However, in the prior art, the shell body 2' is generally snapped together with the support frame 1'. Specifically, please refer to... Figures 2 to 4 As shown.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, the support frame 1' provided in the prior art includes a connecting plate 11' and two snap-fit ​​plates 12'. The two snap-fit ​​plates 12' are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the connecting plate 11'. One of the snap-fit ​​plates 12' has a boss 121' on the side closer to the other snap-fit ​​plate 12', that is, both snap-fit ​​plates 12' are provided with a boss 121'.

[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, the housing body 2' has two protrusions 21' arranged opposite to each other. Please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, when connecting the support frame 1' to the housing body 2', the boss 121' corresponds to the protrusion 21'. The distance between the two bosses 121' is less than the distance between the two protrusions 21', thereby causing the support frame 1' to be secured to the housing body 2', connecting the housing body 2' and the support frame 1'. Afterwards, the support frame 1' can be installed on a supporting object. This completes the operation of installing the power rail on the supporting object.

[0074] When the power rail needs maintenance or replacement, it needs to be removed from the supporting structure. To remove the power rail from the supporting structure, it is first necessary to detach the power rail from the support frame 1'.

[0075] In the prior art, after the power rail is installed on the supporting object, the side of the housing body 2' closest to the supporting object is often in close contact with the supporting object. A close fit with no gap or a very small gap is formed between the housing body 2' and the supporting object.

[0076] In this situation, operators lack ergonomically designed gripping points or tool application points during subsequent maintenance or replacement. Because fingers cannot pry into the edge of the housing body 2', and conventional tools struggle to wedge into narrow gaps, releasing the interlocking force between the housing body 2' and the support frame 1' becomes extremely difficult, significantly reducing disassembly efficiency and posing a risk of equipment damage.

[0077] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, this application provides a housing that is used in an electric rail.

[0078] The housing is used to mount on a supporting object, and the housing can be fixedly installed on the supporting object, thereby mounting the power rail on the supporting object.

[0079] The housing includes a support frame 1 and a housing body 2. The support frame 1 is used to mount the supporting object. In specific implementations, the support frame 1 can be installed on the supporting object by means of screws or adhesive.

[0080] The structure of the support frame 1 is not specifically limited here. The material of the support frame 1 can be an insulating material. For example, the material of the support frame 1 can be plastic, polytetrafluoroethylene, nylon, etc. Of course, the material of the support frame 1 is not actually limited to these; this is just an example and is not intended to be a specific limitation.

[0081] In one example, the support frame 1 includes a support plate 11, which has an angle α with respect to the vertical direction, where 0° ≤ α < 90°. The angle α between the support plate 11 and the vertical direction can be 0°, 1°, 2°, 3°, 5°, 7°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, etc. Of course, this is just an example and is not intended as a specific limitation.

[0082] In actual operation, one side of the support plate 11 can be directly or indirectly mounted on the supporting object. In actual use, the other side of the support plate 11 extends upward, so that the support plate 11 has an angle α with the vertical direction.

[0083] like Figure 7As shown, a limiting space 21 is provided on one side of the housing body 2. The structure and dimensions of the housing body 2 and the limiting space 21 are not specifically limited here.

[0084] The method of forming the limiting space 21 is not specifically limited here. In specific implementation, the limiting space 21 can be formed by stamping on one side of the shell body 2.

[0085] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the support plate 11 extends into and is confined within the limiting space 21, for suspending the housing body 2 on the support frame 1.

[0086] Thus, after installing the support plate 11 onto the supporting object, the side of the housing body 2 with the limiting space 21 facing the support plate 11 can be positioned. Then, the housing body 2 is brought close to the support frame 1, and the limiting space 21 is initially aligned with the support plate 11. Next, the housing body 2 can be lifted upwards, causing the support plate 11 to embed into the entrance of the limiting space 21. Then, the housing body 2 is moved downwards, with the support plate 11 acting as a sliding guide. Using gravity, the housing body 2 slides downwards relative to the support plate 11, causing the support plate 11 to slide into the limiting space 21, thereby suspending the housing body 2 on the support frame 1. The installation of the power rail is relatively convenient.

[0087] When the power rail needs to be repaired or replaced, the housing body 2 can be lifted upwards, so that the bearing plate 11 can be removed from the limiting space 21, thereby separating the housing body 2 from the bearing frame 1.

[0088] At this point, when disassembling the power rails, the housing body 2 can be lifted upwards directly, detaching it from the support frame 1. This facilitates operation, greatly shortens disassembly time, reduces the skill requirements for operators, and makes subsequent maintenance, replacement, or upgrades easier.

[0089] Furthermore, when the housing body 2 is suspended on the support frame 1, the support plate 11 makes limiting contact with the housing body 2, and the support plate 11 and the housing body 2 have surface contact. This avoids stress concentration, allowing the support frame 1 to support heavier loads without easily deforming or being damaged.

[0090] In specific implementation, the length of the bearing plate 11 can extend along the first direction, which is perpendicular to the vertical direction and parallel to the support surface of the supported object.

[0091] Meanwhile, the length extension direction of the housing body 2 can be parallel to the first direction. Furthermore, in specific implementations, the sliding direction of the adapter 20 relative to the power rail can also be parallel to the first direction.

[0092] In one possible implementation, an extension plate 22 is provided on the side of the housing body 2 near the support frame 1, and the extension plate 22 and the side of the housing body 2 near the support frame 1 form a limiting space 21.

[0093] Thus, the limiting space 21 can be formed by stamping or by setting an extension plate 22 on the side of the housing body 2 near the support frame 1. This enriches the ways in which the limiting space 21 can be set, making it easier to select the setting according to the actual situation.

[0094] In specific implementation, the connection method between the extension plate 22 and the housing body 2 is not specifically limited here.

[0095] For example, the extension plate 22 and the housing body 2 can be connected together by welding, snap-fitting or screw connection.

[0096] In the embodiments provided in this application, an integral processing method can be used to process the extension plate 22 and the shell body 2 at the same time, so that the shell body 2 is an integral structure.

[0097] This not only avoids stress concentration issues caused by connection methods such as screws or welding, ensuring higher dimensional accuracy and consistency, and improving the structural strength of the housing body 2, but also eliminates the need for machining the housing body 2, reducing material usage and avoiding material waste.

[0098] Furthermore, the integrated structure reduces connection points, lowering the risk of failure due to loose connections, corrosion, or fatigue, and improving fatigue resistance. Additionally, it reduces the number of parts and assembly steps for the housing body 2, simplifying the operation process.

[0099] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the support frame 1 also includes a mounting plate 12, which is used to mount the supported object. One side of the support plate 11 is mounted on the mounting plate 12.

[0100] When the above technical solution is adopted, the support frame 1 includes a mounting plate 12, which is used to be mounted on the supporting object, and the support plate 11 is used to support the housing body 2. The mounting plate 12 can be set separately from the support plate 11. In this case, the material of the mounting plate 12 can be set according to different supporting objects to adapt to different connection methods between the mounting plate 12 and the supporting object, thereby expanding the applicability of the support frame 1.

[0101] The mounting plate 12 has a large contact area with the supporting object, providing a stable and distributed force surface. This allows the weight and load of the power rail to be transferred more evenly to the supporting object, avoiding stress concentration and reducing the possibility of loosening and detachment due to long-term load.

[0102] In addition, the mounting plate 12 is designed to facilitate its placement on the supporting object, thus simplifying the installation of the power rail.

[0103] In practice, the supporting object can be a gypsum board wall, concrete wall, wooden cabinet, steel structure, or tile surface, etc. The connection method between the mounting plate 12 and the supporting object can be adhesive, riveting, screw connection, or magnetic attraction, etc.

[0104] The connection method between the mounting plate 12 and the support plate 11 is not specifically limited here, and the actual situation shall prevail. For example, the connection method between the mounting plate 12 and the support plate 11 can be welding, bonding, snap-fitting or riveting, etc.

[0105] After the support frame 1 is installed on the support object, the mounting plate 12 can be parallel to and fit against the support surface of the support object.

[0106] As one possible implementation, the side of the extension plate 22 away from the housing body 2 abuts against the mounting plate 12.

[0107] In this configuration, after the housing body 2 is suspended on the support frame 1, the support plate 11 makes limiting contact with the inner wall of the limiting space 21, and the support plate 11 provides an upward supporting force to the housing body 2. At the same time, the side of the extension plate 22 away from the connection with the housing body 2 abuts against the mounting plate 12, and the mounting plate 12 provides a downward force to the extension plate 22.

[0108] The contact between the extension plate 22 and the mounting plate 12 is equivalent to adding a hard stop point to the housing body 2 in the vertical direction. This increases the contact area between the support frame 1 and the housing body 2, making the forces on the housing body 2 more balanced and improving the stability of the housing body 2 suspended on the support frame 1.

[0109] In one possible implementation, the top of the support plate 11 is supported on the top of the limiting space 21.

[0110] When the above technical solution is adopted, the bearing plate 11 can occupy more space in the limiting space 21, and the overlapping area between the bearing plate 11 and the shell body 2 is more, which can improve the stability of the shell body 2 suspended on the bearing frame 1.

[0111] In practice, after the housing body 2 is suspended on the support frame 1, the top of the support plate 11 is supported on the top of the limiting space 21. At the same time, the side of the extension plate 22 away from the housing body 2 can abut against the mounting plate 12 to ensure the stability of the housing body 2 suspended on the support frame 1.

[0112] In some embodiments, the housing body 2 is provided with a recess 23 on the side near the support frame 1, which is away from the support frame 1, and a limiting space 21 is formed between the recess 23 and the extension plate 22.

[0113] Thus, the recessed portion 23 and the extension plate 22 form a limiting space 21, which can reduce the size of the housing in the direction perpendicular to the support surface and reduce the space occupied by the power rail.

[0114] The structure and dimensions of the recess 23 are not specifically defined here, and shall be subject to the actual situation.

[0115] As one possible approach, α = 0°, meaning the bearing plate 11 is parallel to the vertical direction, such as... Figure 6 As shown. Meanwhile, both the extension plate 22 and the mounting plate 12 are parallel to the vertical direction.

[0116] At this time, after the housing body 2 is installed on the support frame 1, the support plate 11, the extension plate 22 and the mounting plate 12 are all parallel and parallel to the vertical direction.

[0117] In practical implementation, the dimensions of the limiting space 21 and the bearing plate 11 in the direction perpendicular to the support surface of the supported object can be reasonably designed so that both surfaces of the bearing plate 11 parallel to the support surface are in contact with the wall of the limiting space 21. Simultaneously, the distance between the bearing plate 11 and the mounting plate 12 in the direction perpendicular to the support surface of the supported object, as well as the dimensions of the extension plate 22 in the direction perpendicular to the support surface of the supported object, can be reasonably designed so that both surfaces of the extension plate 22 parallel to the support surface are in contact with the bearing plate 11 and the mounting plate 12, respectively.

[0118] This ensures a tight fit between the housing body 2 and the support frame 1, enhancing the stability of the housing body 2 mounted on the support frame 1. Furthermore, it strengthens the structural strength and overall stability of the power rail.

[0119] As a feasible approach, such as Figure 8 As shown, the housing body 2 is provided with a groove 25 for accommodating wiring terminals. The specific structure and dimensions of the groove 25 are not specifically limited here.

[0120] It should be noted that the adapter 20 has a pin on the side facing the power rail, which generally includes a neutral (N) pin, a low (L) pin, and an extremum (E) pin. The power rail includes corresponding conductive components, which may include N-pole, low-pole, and extremum conductive components.

[0121] When the adapter 20 is used in conjunction with the power rail, the pin can engage with the conductive element to achieve an electrical connection between the power rail and the adapter 20.

[0122] Specifically, when the adapter 20 is used with the power rail, the N-pole pin can be electrically connected to the N-pole conductive element, the L-pole pin can be electrically connected to the L-pole conductive element, and the E-pole pin can be electrically connected to the E-pole conductive element, thereby enabling the power rail to be electrically connected to the adapter 20.

[0123] It should be noted that the N-pole pin is used to connect to the live wire, the L-pole pin is used to connect to the neutral wire, and the E-pole pin is used to connect to the ground wire. Correspondingly, the N-pole conductive component is used to connect to the live wire, the L-pole conductive component is used to connect to the neutral wire, and the E-pole conductive component is used to connect to the ground wire.

[0124] The power rail is electrically connected not only to adapter 20, but also to an external power source.

[0125] The embodiments of this application provide three terminals, one end of which corresponds to the N-pole conductor, the L-pole conductor, and the E-pole conductor, respectively. The other ends of the three terminals correspond to the live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire of the external power supply, respectively.

[0126] An external power source can be electrically connected to the power rail via terminal blocks, and the power rail supplies power to the load via adapter 20.

[0127] like Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the housing provided in this embodiment of the application also includes a protective plate 3, which covers the groove opening of the recess.

[0128] In this way, the protective plate 3 protects the wiring terminals, preventing them from being exposed and effectively blocking external foreign objects from directly contacting the wiring terminals, thus preventing the wiring terminals from being deformed, loosened, broken, or damaged due to accidental collisions, scratches, or squeezing.

[0129] Meanwhile, the protective plate 3 encloses the terminals within the groove, significantly reducing the accumulation of contaminants such as dust, fibers, and metal shavings on the terminals. This is crucial for maintaining phase-to-phase insulation of the terminals and preventing short circuits and leakage, especially in dusty and humid environments.

[0130] Furthermore, the protective plate 3 forms a physical barrier, reducing the risk of users accidentally touching live terminals, thereby effectively preventing electric shock accidents and improving safety design standards.

[0131] In addition, hiding the wiring terminals in the groove and covering them with the protective plate 3 can keep the outer surface of the power rail smooth, clean and without protrusions, avoiding the messy feeling caused by exposed screws or wires and improving the overall aesthetics of the power rail.

[0132] As one possible implementation, the protective plate 3 has a first side and a second side that are arranged opposite to each other, with the first side rotatably connected to the housing body 2.

[0133] In the embodiments provided in this application, a connecting shaft can be provided on the first side of the protective plate 3, and a connecting lug can be provided at the corresponding position of the housing body 2. The connecting shaft can be rotatably connected to the connecting lug, thereby making the first side of the protective plate 3 rotatably connected to the housing body 2.

[0134] The protective plate 3 has a protective position and an open position relative to the housing body 2. When the protective plate 3 is in the protective position, the second side is engaged with the housing body 2.

[0135] When the protective plate 3 rotates relative to the housing body 2, the protective plate 3 has a protective position and an open position relative to the housing body 2. When the protective plate 3 is in the protective position, the protective plate 3 covers the groove opening of the recess 25, which has a protective function for the wiring terminals, etc.

[0136] When the protective plate 3 is in the open position, components such as wiring terminals can be exposed, making it easier to inspect and maintain.

[0137] When the protective plate 3 is in the protective position, its second side is engaged with the housing body 2. In this case, connecting or disassembling the second side of the protective plate 3 to the housing body 2 can be done in one step without the need for additional tools, which reduces the number of parts and steps, simplifies the structure, and saves time and costs.

[0138] At the same time, it is easy to operate and requires less skill from operators, reducing yield problems caused by operational errors.

[0139] like Figure 8 As shown, in one possible implementation, a buckle 26 is provided on the groove wall of the groove 25 at the position corresponding to the second side.

[0140] The buckle 26 can be positioned at the opening of the groove 25. The specific structure and dimensions of the buckle 26 are not specifically limited here.

[0141] Alternatively, the buckle 26 can be mounted on the groove wall of the recess 25 by welding or snap-fitting. Of course, the buckle 26 and the housing body 2 can also be integrally formed. The connection method between the buckle 26 and the housing body 2 is not actually limited to this. This is merely an example and not intended as a specific limitation.

[0142] Please combine Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the protective plate 3 includes a protective plate body 31 and a blocking and limiting member 32. The protective plate body 31 has a first side and a second side, and the blocking and limiting member 32 is disposed on the second side.

[0143] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the blocking and limiting member 32 includes a transition plate 321 and a blocking and limiting plate 322. One side of the transition plate 321 is disposed on the protective plate body 31. When the protective plate 3 is in the protective position, the transition plate 321 extends from the protective plate body 31 toward the bottom of the groove 25. One side of the blocking and limiting plate 322 is disposed on the side of the transition plate 321 away from the protective plate body 31, and the blocking and limiting plate 322 extends outward from the side connected to the transition plate 321 into the groove 25.

[0144] This ensures that the end of the blocking and limiting plate 322 is located outside the groove, making it easier for operators to operate.

[0145] The blocking and limiting plate 322 is provided with a slot 3221 that cooperates with the buckle 26. The blocking and limiting plate 322 has a limiting position and a releasing position relative to the buckle 26. When the blocking and limiting plate 322 is in the limiting position, the buckle 26 cooperates with the slot 3221 to prevent the limiting and protective plate 3 from being in the protective position.

[0146] When the blocking limit plate 322 is in the released position, the buckle 26 disengages from the slot 3221, allowing the protective plate 3 to rotate from the protective position to the open position.

[0147] In practice, the blocking and limiting plate 322 and the transition plate 321 can form a V-shaped blocking and limiting member 32. The blocking and limiting plate 322 can be integrally formed with the transition plate 321, and the blocking and limiting member 32 is elastic. The blocking and limiting member 32 can also be integrally formed with the housing body 2.

[0148] When the protective plate 3 is rotated so that the second side rotates around the first side and the blocking limit member 32 is rotated close to the buckle 26, the operator can continue to rotate the protective plate 3. The buckle applies an elastic force to the blocking limit plate 322, causing it to move closer to the transition plate 321.

[0149] Continue rotating the protective plate 3 until the buckle 26 matches the slot 3221 and the buckle 26 slides into the slot 3221. At this point, the blocking and limiting plate 31 is in the limiting position, and the protective plate 3 is in the protective position.

[0150] Accordingly, when the operator presses the blocking limit plate 322, causing the blocking limit plate 322 to elastically act on the transition plate 321 and rotate towards the side closer to the transition plate 321, that is, when the blocking limit plate 322 rotates away from the latch 26 and causes the latch 26 to disengage from the slot 3221, the protective plate 3 is allowed to rotate from the protective position to the open position. At this time, the protective plate 3 can be rotated to switch the protective plate 3 from the protective position to the open position.

[0151] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in one alternative embodiment, a guide slope 3222 is provided on the side of the blocking and limiting plate 322 near the buckle 26. The guide slope 3222 is inclined toward the buckle 26 in the depth direction of the groove 25, and the guide slope 3222 is located on the side of the slot 3221 near the bottom of the groove 25.

[0152] Thus, during the process of rotating the protective plate 3 from the open position to the protective position, the buckle 26 can act on the guide slope 3222, making it easier for the buckle 26 to slide into the slot 3221, and reducing damage to the blocking limit plate 322.

[0153] In practice, multiple blocking and limiting components can be set on the protective plate 3, and correspondingly, multiple buckles can be set at the corresponding positions on the housing body 2.

[0154] In one example, the housing body 2 has two first surfaces perpendicular to the vertical direction. For example... Figure 6 As shown, protrusions 24 are provided on both first surfaces.

[0155] Thus, the protrusion 24 can act as a reinforcing rib, which can significantly increase the shell body 2's resistance to bending and torsional deformation in a specific direction, and prevent the shell body 2 from collapsing, breaking or excessively deforming when subjected to force or pressure.

[0156] The protrusion 24 can increase the local rigidity of the housing body 2 and change the natural frequency of the housing body 2, which can help disperse and absorb the energy of impact and vibration, and protect the internal components of the housing body 2 from damage.

[0157] Furthermore, when needed, a support frame 1' from the prior art, which is compatible with the housing body 2, can be used to cooperate with the housing body 2 provided in this application embodiment. This expands the applicability of the housing body 2.

[0158] The housing provided in this embodiment also includes two tail plates 4, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the housing body 2 along the first direction. The two tail plates 4 have the same structure, so only one type of tail plate 4 part needs to be stored to meet the assembly or maintenance needs of both positions at the same time, reducing the capital cost of inventory, storage space cost and maintenance management cost.

[0159] During actual installation, installers do not need to spend time distinguishing between parts, fundamentally avoiding the possibility of picking the wrong parts or installing them in the wrong position. At the same time, the installation steps, tools used, tightening torque, and operating techniques for the two tailplates 4 can be consistent, allowing installers to quickly master the installation skills and shorten the installation time per session.

[0160] In addition, a knock-off part is provided on the tailplate 4. During actual installation, the knock-off part can be removed or retained according to the actual situation, thereby improving the applicability of the tailplate 4.

[0161] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "assembly," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" or "joining" in mechanical structures can refer to a physical connection. A physical connection can be a fixed connection, such as a connection secured by fasteners, such as a connection secured by screws, bolts, or other fasteners; a physical connection can also be a detachable connection, such as a snap-fit ​​or interlocking connection; a physical connection can also be an integral connection, such as a connection formed by welding, bonding, or integral molding. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
