Description

Technical Field

[0001] This case relates to the field of track lights, and particularly to a wireless power waterproof track light.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, as shown in Publication No. WO2018157567A1 (Patent Document 1) and Taiwan Registered Utility Model No. M619216 (Patent Document 2), the structure of a track light is generally mounted on a track for fixing to a wall or ceiling. An opening for connecting to the inside of the track is formed on the bottom surface of the track. Two conductive plates are provided inside the track. The two conductive plates are connected to a transformer via an electric cable. The light further provides a movable rail, and the movable rail is provided with conductor terminals for contacting the two conductive plates. Thus, the movable rail of the light is attached below the track opening, and the two conductor terminals of the movable rail are brought into contact with the two conductive plates to supply electricity. Therefore, the light can be attached at any position on the track, and electricity can be supplied to the light at any position on the track.

[0003] However, the bottom side of the known track light has an opening structure, and water and moisture can easily penetrate. Therefore, the known track light cannot be applied outdoors or in flooded locations and is only applied indoors. On the other hand, in order to prevent external water and moisture, when the track light is finished with a sealed structure, there remains a problem that the external light cannot contact the two conductive plates provided on the track. In addition, for the known track light, the light cannot be attached to the track unless it has a complicated mechanical structure such as a dovetail, a slider, and mounting screws. Therefore, the manufacturing cost is high, and the practical installation and adjustment are very inconvenient. Moreover, the light cannot be moved on the track unless a plurality of screws are loosened.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The main object of this case is to provide a wireless power waterproof track light. By providing one or more wireless power supply transmitting modules on the power supply track and a wireless power supply receiving module provided on the light, the wireless power supply function is realized, and further, the light is adsorbed to the power supply track by a magnet adsorption means.

[0005] The next object of this case is to provide a wireless power waterproof track light. By the means of the aforementioned wireless power supply and magnet adsorption, the power supply track is finished in a sealed manner, so that the wireless power supply transmitting module is not contacted by rainwater or the like on the power supply track, and it can be applied to an outdoor waterproof track light.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned object, a preferred embodiment of the power supply track light in this case includes, for example, a power supply track, a wireless power supply transmitting module, and a light.

[0007] The power supply track includes a track body and two conductive bars, has a light mounting surface inside the track body, has a sealed sliding space corresponding to the light mounting surface inside the track body, and mounts the two conductive bars in the sealed sliding space, extends parallel to the light mounting surface, and supplies power to the wireless power supply transmitting module.

[0008] The wireless power supply transmitting module includes a sliding body, a transmitting coil, two conductive terminals, and a first magnet. The sliding body is mounted in the sealed sliding space of the track body and can freely move its position in the sealed sliding space. The transmitting coil is mounted on the sliding body to form a magnetic field toward the light mounting surface in the sealed sliding space. The two conductive terminals are fixed to the sliding body and connected to the transmitting coil, and the two conductive terminals are movably in contact with the two conductive bars. The first magnet is fixed to the sliding body for mutual adsorption with the light.

[0009] The light includes a light body, a receiving coil, and a second magnet. The light body is detachably attached to the mounting surface of the track body and can be moved on the light mounting surface. The receiving coil is attached to the light body. The receiving coil forms an induced current by the magnetic field induction of the transmitting coil to supply electricity to the light body. The second magnet is fixed to the light body, and by attracting each other with the first magnet with its magnetism, the light body can be detachably adsorbed to the mounting surface of the light body.

Advantages of the Invention

[0010] By implementing this case, the following effects can be expected.

[0011] I. Electricity can be supplied to the light from the electric supply track. In this case, electricity can be supplied to the light of the track light by a wireless power supply method through the primary transmitting module of the wireless power supply transmitting module and the secondary receiving module of the light body.

[0012] II. It can be provided for a waterproof track light. With the wireless power supply method of this case, instead of the means of contacting two conductive bars for the conductive terminals required for a known track light, it can be implemented in a tube body that seals both ends of the track body. In addition, the light can also be finished in a fully sealed structure to achieve the effects of waterproofing and outdoor installation of the track light.

[0013] III. It can be freely adsorbed and position-adjusted. By incorporating an adsorption means between the electric supply track and the light in this case, eliminating the complex mechanical fixing structure as known, the light can be adsorbed at any position on the electric supply track, making it more convenient for the user to install and adjust the position.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0015] Refer to FIGS. 1 and 2. The wireless power waterproof track light of the present case is a waterproof track light for mounting on a wall or ceiling. In one preferred embodiment, it includes an electric supply track 10, a wireless electric supply transmitting module 20, and a light 30. The wireless electric supply transmitting module 20 is attached to the electric supply track 10, and the wireless electric supply transmitting module 20 is adsorbed to the light 30 of the electric supply track 10 by wireless charging means. Among them,

[0016] Refer to FIGS. 2 and 3. The electric supply track 10 includes a track body 11 and two conductive bars 12. The track body 11 has a light mounting surface 111 inside, and the interior of the track body 11 has a sealed sliding space 112 corresponding to the light mounting surface 111. The two conductive bars 12 are mounted in the sealed sliding space 112 and extend parallel to the light mounting surface 111 to supply electricity to the wireless electric supply transmitting module 20. Among them, the track body 11 preferably includes a tube body 13, two end caps 14 and a power cord 15. The tube body 13 is, for example, a straight angle tube or a round tube extruded from an aluminum member. The plane on the outer surface of the angle tube is used as the light mounting surface 111, and one or more lights 30 are magnetically adsorbed on the light mounting surface 111. The interior of the angle tube can be, for example, the aforementioned sealed sliding space 112. Two bar-shaped mounting grooves 131 are provided on the inner wall of the tube body 13 of the tube body 13, and the two conductive bars 12 are also mounted in the two bar-shaped mounting grooves 131. The two end caps 14 respectively seal and cover both ends of the tube body 13 to prevent water and moisture from entering the sealed sliding space 112. One end of the power cord 15 penetrates the end cap 14 or the tube wall of the tube body 13 and enters the sealed sliding space 112 to connect to the two conductive bars 12, and the other end is connected to a power source (for example, a transformer, etc.). The aforementioned conductive bar 12 is preferably implemented as a copper bar. By combining an insulator 16 on one surface of the conductive bar 12, each conductive bar 12 or the insulator 16 is fixed in the two bar-shaped mounting grooves 131 to supply electricity to the wireless electric supply transmitting module 20.

[0017] Refer to FIGS. 3 to 5. The wireless power supply transmitting module 20 preferably includes a slider 21, a transmitting coil 22, two conductive terminal elements 23, two first magnets 24, and one magnetic control switch 25. The slider 21 is installed inside the sealed sliding space 112 of the track body 11 and can freely move in the sealed sliding space 112. The transmitting coil 22 is a coil wound with copper wire, is attached to the slider 21, and forms a magnetic field in the direction from the inside of the sealed sliding space 112 toward the light mounting surface 111. The two conductive terminals 23 are elements formed by pressing a copper plate, are respectively attached to the slider 21, are connected to the transmitting coil 22, and are brought into contact with the two conductive bars 12 described above, and are moved together with the slider 21 (shown in FIG. 5). The first magnet 24 is a permanent magnet fixed to the slider 21 and attracts the light 30 outside the rack body 11. The magnetic control switch 25 is an existing electronic element, is connected to the circuit of the transmitting coil 22, mounts the light 30 on the light mounting surface 111, forms a circuit with the magnetic control switch 5 due to the magnetism of the third magnet 36 of the light 30, conducts electricity to the transmitting coil 22, and in contrast, when the light 30 is removed, the circuit of the magnetic control switch 25 is disconnected and the transmitting coil 22 does not consume electricity.

[0018] Continuing with reference to FIG. 4, the form of the sliding body 21 is not limited. As a preferred embodiment, a first casing 211 and a first lid 212 are implemented. Inside the first casing 211, the aforementioned transmitting coil 22, two conductive terminals 23, a first magnet 24, and a plurality of mounting grooves 214, 215, 216, 217 provided for mounting the magnetic control switch 25 are provided. When combined with the module components, it facilitates the mounting of a plurality of wireless power supply modules 20 inside the rack body 11. Among them, the first casing 211 is provided with two openings 218 communicating with the outside of the first casing 211 in the mounting groove 215 for mounting the two conductive terminals 23. Conductive plates 231 are respectively provided on the conductive terminals 23. When each conductive terminal 23 is mounted in the mounting groove 215, the conductive plate 231 protrudes through the opening 218 to the outer surface of the first casing 211 (shown in FIG. 3), and the conductive plate 231 is movably in contact with the two conductive bars 12. Even when the sliding body 21 (the first casing 211) is moved to any position (shown in FIG. 5) on the rack body 11, the transmitting coil 22 can be electrically supplied.

[0019] Continuing with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. In a preferred embodiment of the light 30, it includes a light body 31, a receiving coil 32, and a second magnet 33. The light body 31 uses a known LED light. In this case, it can be separately mounted on the light mounting surface 111 of the truck body 11, and its position can be freely moved on the light mounting surface 111. Both the receiving coil 32 and the aforementioned transmitting coil 22 are implemented as ring coils wound with copper wires, and can be installed inside the wireless power supply and receiving module 34 on the rear side of the light body 31, or directly mounted inside the rear side of the light body 31. When the receiving coil 32 and the transmitting coil 22 are brought close to each other, the receiving coil 32 induces the magnetic field of the transmitting coil 22 to generate an induced current, and the light body 31 is electrically supplied. The second magnet 33 can be installed inside or provided inside the wireless power supply transmitting module 34 of the light body 31, or directly mounted inside the rear side of the light body 31, and adsorbed with the first magnet 24 of the aforementioned wireless power supply transmitting module 20, so that the light body 31 can be respectively adsorbed on the light mounting surface 111.

[0020] Continuing, refer to FIGS. 6 and 7. The aforementioned wireless power supply and reception module 34 includes a second casing 341 and a second lid 342. After the second casing 341 or the second lid 342 is coupled to the rear side or one side of the light body 31 by a direction adjustment mechanism 35, the receiving coil 32 and the second magnet 33 are respectively fixed inside the second casing 341. Thus, the wireless power supply and reception module 34 can adsorb to the aforementioned first magnet 24 via the second magnet 33, separate the light body 31, and adsorb at an adsorption position that can be freely adjusted on the light mounting surface 111 of the light body 11. Among them, for example, the direction adjustment mechanism 35 can use an existing universal joint so that the irradiation angle of the light body 31 can be adjusted. Continuing, refer to FIG. 8. In this case, for example, without applying the aforementioned second casing 341 and second lid 342, the receiving coil 32 and the second magnet 33 can be respectively fixed inside the light shell 311 on the rear side of the light body 31, and the same effect of adsorbing to the first magnet 24 can also be achieved. In addition, a rectifying circuit board 37 is further provided inside the light casing 311 of the wireless power supply and reception module 34 (second casing 341) or the light body 31 of this case. The rectifying circuit board 37 is provided between the receiving module 32 and the light emitting unit of the light body 31 to provide electrical energy to the light body 31.

[0021] Continuing with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, when using this invention, the electrical supply track 10 is attached to a wall, ceiling, or other object, and a plurality of wireless electrical supply transmitting modules 20 are installed inside each electrical supply track 10. By attaching the rear side of the light 30 to the light mounting surface 111 of the track body 11, the second magnet 33 and the first magnet 24 of the wireless electrical supply transmitting module 20 are attracted to each other, and the light 30 can be fixed to the light mounting surface 111. Further, the light 30 can be moved and can move in the sealed sliding space 112 in combination with the wireless electrical supply transmitting module 20. It should be particularly noted that with the wireless electrical supply method of this invention, instead of the structural means of contacting two conductive bars for the conductive terminals required for known track lights, it can be implemented on the tube body that seals both ends of the track body 11. In addition, the light 30 can also be finished with a fully sealed structure to achieve the waterproof and outdoor mounting effects of the track light.
