[0008] The technical solution of this application will be further described below in conjunction with the attached drawings and embodiments.

[0009] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of the present application, the modular power access device and cabinet-type furniture according to the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the attached drawings.

[0010] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 15, the present application provides a cabinet-type furniture including a modular power access device 300 and a cabinet 80. The modular power access device 300 is configured to be used in conjunction with a device 200 for electrical use attached to the cabinet 80. Each modular power access device 300 includes a power collection rail 10, a power supply mechanism 20, and a power transmission mechanism 30. The power supply mechanism 20, the power collection rail 10, and the power transmission mechanism 30 are configured to be connected in sequence so that electrical energy from the power supply mechanism 20 can be transmitted to the power transmission mechanism 30 and the device 200 for electrical use via the power collection rail 10. In other words, the power supply facility, the power supply mechanism 20, the power collection rail 10, the power transmission mechanism 30, and the device 200 for electrical use form a circuit loop.

[0011] In some embodiments, the cabinet 80 may be other furniture 100. Specifically, the furniture 100 may be a wardrobe, a kitchen cabinet, a shoe rack, a bookshelf, etc. In some other embodiments, the furniture 100 may be a TV stand, a background wall combination cabinet, a bedside table, a dressing table, an office desk, a workbench, a display rack, a storage rack, etc. However, as long as the power collection rail 10 can be installed on the plate of the furniture and a space for arranging the device 200 for electrical use is ensured within the furniture, the present application does not limit the specific type of the furniture 100.

[0012] According to the needs of the user, a plurality of cabinets 80 can be assembled to form a complete cabinet-type furniture. The user can manually assemble cabinets 80 of different sizes to create their own design style. In some embodiments, the devices 200 for electrical use include, but are not limited to, one or more combinations of lighting lamps, sensor assemblies, socket assemblies, USB charging assemblies, drive motor assemblies, display assemblies, Bluetooth speakers, or chargers. A lighting lamp is shown in the accompanying drawings of the present application. The user can attach a lighting lamp to each cabinet 80 or to one of the cabinet-type furniture 80 according to their needs to provide area lighting.

[0013] By intensively installing the power collection rail 10 in the cabinet-type furniture 100 and connecting each device 200 for electrical use to the power collection rail 10 using the power transmission mechanism 30, the power lines that were originally scattered can be uniformly housed in the power collection rail 10, reducing the need for individual wiring and connection work, simplifying the wiring structure of the entire furniture 100, improving the installation efficiency, and also reducing the wiring error rate.

[0014] In some embodiments, the power collection rail 10 is configured to be cut to a target length in the longitudinal direction, that is, the length of the power collection rail 10 is substantially the same as the height of the cabinet 80. In the factory, during the production and processing process, the cabinet 80 and the power collection rail 10 can be manufactured with a uniform length. After receiving the customization requirements from the user, the factory uses tools such as a cutting machine to cut the power collection rail 10 with a uniform length according to the height of the customized cabinet 80 to match the height of the customized cabinet 80. After the corresponding number of cabinets 80 and the modular power access device 300 are transported to the user, the user can easily realize the customization requirements of the cabinet-type furniture by directly attaching the cut power collection rail 10 to the target attachment position of the cabinet 80.

[0015] In some embodiments, the power supply mechanism 20 is selectively positioned on the current collection rail 10 so that it can continuously supply electrical energy toward the current collection rail 10, i.e., the power transmission structure is used to transmit external electrical energy to the entire current collection rail 10, the power transmission mechanism 30, and the corresponding electrical-consuming device 200.

[0016] In some embodiments, at least one power transmission mechanism 30 is provided, each power transmission mechanism 30 being detachably mounted to a target position on the current collection rail 10 and configured to connect to a corresponding electrical device 200. Depending on the user's customized needs, the electrical device 200 can be mounted at any position along the length of the current collection rail 10. For example, a lighting lamp can be mounted at the highest point, a charging outlet at the midpoint, and a Bluetooth speaker or wireless charging pad at the lowest point. The user only needs to mount the corresponding number of power transmission mechanisms 30 at the corresponding positions on the current collection rail 10, making operation simple.

[0017] To reduce wiring, the current collection rails 10 of each modular power access device 300 can be assembled by connecting them from end to end. That is, when cabinets 80 of the same height are assembled, the current collection rails 10 of all cabinets 80 extend in the same straight line. All electrical devices 200 can be directly electrically connected to the power transmission mechanism 30, and the entire circuit can be connected via the current collection rails 10, effectively reducing the external power lines of the electrical devices 200. Furthermore, because adjacent current collection rails 10 are interconnected, wiring is simplified, and they can be installed sequentially in one direction, reducing the rate of installation errors and improving installation efficiency.

[0018] Based on the detachable current collection rail 10, the power transmission mechanism 30 can be mounted in different positions, and by using the power supply mechanism 20 to connect the current collection rail 10, power transmission mechanism 30, and the electrical equipment 200 in the corresponding cabinet 80 in series, the user's customized cabinet-type furniture design needs can be met. Furthermore, the installation idea is simple, and after the user receives the cabinet 80, the installer can assemble it in one step. Compared with related technologies that require consideration of the circuits of different electrical devices, the modular power access device 300 of this application does not require consideration of circuit connection issues. In other words, the installer does not need to have knowledge of circuits, and even the user can enjoy the fun of assembling the furniture 100 themselves.

[0019] In some embodiments, when it is necessary to control each electrical device 200 asynchronously, the corresponding modular power access device 300 has an independent power supply mechanism 20. Each independent power supply mechanism 20 is located at one end of the current collection rail 10, for example, at the bottom or top of the cabinet 80, and controls each different electrical device 200 asynchronously. This method can provide users with a DIY design style, such as creating different flow, scan, and color gradient effects with different lighting lamps.

[0020] In some other embodiments, when each electrical device 200 needs to be controlled synchronously, all modular power access devices 300 in the same mounting direction can use the same power supply mechanism 20, as long as adjacent current collection rails 10 are electrically connected. This method further reduces wiring and improves the structural compactness of the modular power access devices 300.

[0021] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 4, the current collection rail 10 includes a base plate 11, side plates 12, a first conductive strip 13, and a second conductive strip 14. Two side plates 12 are provided, arranged symmetrically at both ends of the base plate 11. The base plate 11 and the side plates 12 form a mounting cavity 121 for housing the power transmission mechanism 30. Each side plate 12 is provided with a groove 122 extending along its longitudinal direction. The first conductive strip 13 and the second conductive strip 14 are fixedly positioned within corresponding grooves 122 and do not come into contact with each other. The power transmission mechanism 30 is located within a mounting cavity 121 and contacts the first conductive strip 13 and the second conductive strip 14, respectively.

[0022] Specifically, the grooves 122 are isosceles trapezoidal, and the openings of each groove 122 are arranged to face each other, so that parts of the first conductive strip 13 and the second conductive strip 14 are exposed. Since the first conductive strip 13 and the second conductive strip 14 are also arranged in an isosceles trapezoidal shape, the first conductive strip 13 and the second conductive strip 14 can easily form a loop-shaped electrical connection with the power transmission mechanism 30.

[0023] Furthermore, if all modular power access devices 300 located in the same mounting direction use the same power supply mechanism 20, two adjacent first conductive strips 13 will come into contact with each other, and two adjacent second conductive strips 14 will also come into contact with each other, thereby achieving circuit connection between adjacent modular power access devices 300.

[0024] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4 and 7, the current collection rail 10 further includes a position limiter 15 located on one side of the base plate 11. The position limiter 15 extends along the length of the base plate 11, and a wiring cavity 151 is formed between the position limiter 15 and the side plate 12 for accommodating power lines 70 of a power supply mechanism 20 of another modular power access device 300.

[0025] Since the cabinet 80 has a multi-layer structure, the power supply mechanism 20 corresponding to each layer of the cabinet 80 needs to be connected to the power supply equipment via the corresponding power line 70. Therefore, in order to reduce the amount of exposed power line 70, the present invention uses wiring cavities 151 to conceal the power line 70. During installation, it is only necessary to sequentially embed the power line 70 into all wiring cavities 151 in the same direction.

[0026] In some embodiments, two position limiting sections 15 are provided, arranged symmetrically on both sides of the base plate 11, forming two sets of wiring cavities 151.

[0027] In this embodiment, by using two sets of wiring cavities 151, the space for housing wiring is expanded, which facilitates the installation of power lines 70 and reduces the number of power lines 70 in the same wiring cavity 151. More specifically, in some embodiments, when asynchronous control of power supply is required, the power lines 70 required for asynchronous control can be placed in the wiring cavity 151 within the lower current collection rail 10, thereby reducing the need for additional grooving and wiring in the furniture.

[0028] In some embodiments, the bottom plate 11, side plates 12, and position limiting portion 15 are integrally molded to enhance the structural stability of the current collection rail 10.

[0029] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 and 7, a plurality of anti-slip grooves 16 are further provided on the outside of the current collection rail 10. This increases the surface roughness of the current collection rail 10, which increases the frictional force of the current collection rail 10 embedded in the cabinet 80, making it easier to stably connect the current collection rail 10 and the cabinet 80 directly.

[0030] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the bottom plate 11 is provided with clearance holes 111, the cabinet 80 is provided with mounting holes 1001, and the power transmission mechanism 30 includes a first current collection socket assembly 31 and a current collection head assembly 32 connected to each other. The first current collection socket assembly 31 is detachably mounted on the current collection rail 10, and the current collection head assembly passes through the clearance holes and is electrically connected to the device 200 to be used for electrical purposes.

[0031] The clearance holes 111 and mounting holes 1001 are obtained by drilling with a perforating machine after receiving the user's customized requirements. Once the mounting holes 1001 for the cabinet 80 and the clearance holes 111 for the current collection rail 10 are obtained, the cabinet is transported to the user's site, allowing the user to directly mount the modular power access device 300 according to the clearance holes 111 and mounting holes 1001.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first current collector socket assembly 31 and the current collector head assembly 32 can be designed as a single integrated structure. That is, the first current collector socket assembly 31 and the current collector head assembly 32 are fixedly connected at the factory and cannot be disassembled during use, thereby reducing the assembly procedure and improving the connection reliability of the power transmission mechanism 30.

[0033] In some other embodiments, the first current collector socket assembly 31 and the current collector head assembly 32 are detachably connected. Referring to Figures 7 and 8, the first current collector socket assembly 31 is A first sliding portion 40 having a side cavity 401 and movable along the mounting cavity 121, A first conductive sheet 41 is provided on one side of the side cavity 401 and is in contact with and interconnectable with the first conductive strip 13, A second conductive sheet 42 is positioned on the other side of the side cavity 401 so as to be symmetrical to the first conductive sheet 41, and is in contact with and interconnectable with the second conductive strip 14. A first plug terminal 43 includes a first plug terminal 431 and a second plug terminal 432, wherein the first plug terminal 431 is electrically connected to a first conductive sheet 41, and the second plug terminal 432 is electrically connected to a second conductive sheet 42, and both the first plug terminal 431 and the second plug terminal 432 extend outward, passing through a clearance hole 111 and being electrically connected to a current collector head assembly 32.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first slide portion 40 has two clearance holes 402 arranged symmetrically. The first conductive sheet 41 and the second conductive sheet 42 have the same structure. The first conductive sheet 41 includes a first connecting portion 411, a contact portion 412, and a second connecting portion 413, which are connected in order. The first slide portion 40 is provided with two side cavities 401. The first connecting portion 411 and the second connecting portion 413 are fixedly connected to the corresponding side cavities 401, respectively. The contact portion 412 passes through the clearance hole 402 and contacts the first conductive strip 13. Similarly, the contact portion 412 of the second conductive sheet 42 passes through the corresponding clearance hole 402 and contacts the second conductive strip 14. The first conductive sheet 41 and the second conductive sheet 42 do not contact each other.

[0035] The first conductive sheet 41 is electrically connected to the first plug-in terminal 431 via a wire or metal piece (not shown), and the second conductive piece 42 is electrically connected to the second plug-in terminal 432 via a wire or metal piece (not shown). In other words, the first current collector socket assembly 31 forms a male plug structure.

[0036] Specifically, an insulating layer or gap is provided between the first plug-in end 431 and the second plug-in end 432 to prevent contact between them, and the first plug-in end 431 and the second plug-in end 432 extend coaxially.

[0037] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 10, the current collector head assembly 32 includes a first socket end 33 having a first plug-in port 331 and a second plug-in port 332. The first plug-in port 331 is used to house a first plug-in port 431 so that the first plug-in port 431 is electrically connected to the first plug-in port 331. The second plug-in port 332 is used to house a second plug-in port 432 so that the second plug-in port 432 is electrically connected to the second plug-in port 332. The first socket end 33 includes a first housing 50, a first conductive socket 51, and a second conductive socket 52. The first conductive socket 51 is electrically connected to the first plug-in port 331, and the second conductive socket 52 is electrically connected to the second plug-in port 332.

[0038] Referring to Figure 10, in this embodiment, the first socket end 33 further includes two symmetrically arranged connecting metal pieces 58. The two connecting metal pieces 58 are fixedly positioned at one end of the first housing 50 away from the first current collector socket assembly 31, and the two connecting metal pieces 58 do not touch each other. The two connecting metal pieces 58 are electrically connected to the first conductive socket 51 and the second conductive socket 52, respectively, and derive power from the first conductive socket 51 and the second conductive socket 52, and electrically connect to subsequent circuits.

[0039] In other words, the current collector head assembly 32 as a whole constitutes a socket structure (female head) that mates with the plug structure (male head) of the first current collector socket assembly 31 to achieve an electrical connection between the two.

[0040] Specifically, an insulating layer or gap is provided between the first conductive socket 51 and the second conductive socket 52 to prevent contact between the first conductive socket portion 51 and the second conductive socket portion 52, so that the first conductive socket 51 and the second conductive socket 52 extend coaxially.

[0041] As can be understood in conjunction with Figures 11 and 12, the first current collection socket assembly 31 and the current collection head assembly 32 are fitted together by sliding fit to form a current conduction path. Therefore, the relative position of the first current collection socket assembly 31 and the current collection head assembly 32 can be adjusted according to the difference in thickness of the plate material in the clearance hole 111, thereby adaptively changing the contact area between them and achieving electrical connection without affecting the reliability of the power supply. In other words, the first current collection socket assembly 31 and the current collection head assembly 32 of this application can be fitted to plate material of different thicknesses, for example, wooden boards of different thicknesses. At the same time, the electrical contacts of the first current collection socket assembly 31 and the current collection head assembly 32 are located within the cavity of the clearance hole 111 in the assembled state and are shielded by the plate material, so the current-carrying contact surface is not directly exposed to the outside world and it is difficult for outsiders to directly touch it, thereby reducing the risk of accidental electric shock and improving electrical safety.

[0042] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 13, 14, and 15, the power transmission mechanism 30 further includes an equipment-side connection assembly 34. The power supply head assembly 32 is electrically connected to the electrical equipment 200 via the equipment-side connection assembly 34. The equipment-side connection assembly 34 is A second housing 53 is attached to the electrical device 200, A first pin 54 is provided in the second housing 53 and is electrically connected to the first conductive socket 51, It includes a second pin 55 provided in the second housing 53 and electrically connected to the second conductive socket 52, The first pin 54 and the second pin 55 are used to supply power to the electrical device 200.

[0043] The second housing 53 can be assembled from two housings that engage and cooperate with each other. One end of the first pin 54 and the second pin 55 is exposed on one end of the second housing 53 for electrical connection to the current collector head assembly 32.

[0044] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 14, the device-side connection seat assembly 34 further includes two conductive connectors 59 connected to the other ends of the first pin 54 and the second pin 55, respectively, each conductive connector 59 having a through end 57 for electrically connecting the power lines of the device 200 to be electrically used.

[0045] In this embodiment, the conductive connector 59 further includes a straight end 591, the tail end of which is provided with at least one triangular through end 57. When installed, the through end 57 has a certain degree of sharpness so that a wire can be passed through to the corresponding location on the electrical device 200, thereby achieving an electrical connection with the electrical device 200.

[0046] Each conductive connector 59 is configured to be electrically connected to the power lines or power terminals of the electrical device 200 by, for example, screw terminals, crimp terminals, or plug-in terminals, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0047] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 8 and 9, the power transmission mechanism 30 further includes a first sliding portion 40 and a first engaging portion 44 that engage with the current collection rail 10, respectively, for fixing the power transmission mechanism 3030 in a target position.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first engaging portion 44 includes a base body 60 and a first wedge-shaped block 61 integrally formed on both sides of the base body 60. Correspondingly, a second wedge-shaped block 62 is provided in the position limiting portion 15 (see Figure 7). When the first engaging portion 44 engages with the first sliding portion 40, that is, when the first wedge-shaped block 61 is pressed toward the current collection rail 10, the wedge-shaped engagement between the first wedge-shaped block 61 and the second wedge-shaped block 62 fixes the power transmission mechanism 30 relative to the current collection rail 10. Operation is simple. If the power transmission mechanism 30 needs to be repaired, the first wedge-shaped block 61 and the second wedge-shaped block 62 can be separated by applying a force to the base body 60 in a direction away from the current collection rail 10.

[0049] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 9, the power supply mechanism 20 includes a power line 70, a second current collector socket assembly 71, and a plug-in unit 72. The second current collector socket assembly 71 is detachably mounted to the current collector rail 10 and connected to one end of the power line 70, and the plug-in unit 72 is connected to the other end of the power line 70. The plug-in unit 72 is configured to allow connection to a power supply facility. In some embodiments, the power supply facility may be a constant voltage power supply, a power adapter, a battery, or one or more combinations of other power supply devices capable of supplying electrical energy to the power supply mechanism 20. The present invention is not limited thereto.

[0050] In one specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, the second current collector socket assembly 71 includes a second slide portion 73, a second engagement portion 74, a third conductive sheet 75, and a fourth conductive sheet 76. The structure of the second slide portion 73 is the same as that of the first slide portion 40, the structure of the second engagement portion 74 is the same as that of the first engagement portion 44, and the structures of the third conductive sheet 75, the fourth conductive sheet 76, and the first conductive sheet 41 are all the same. The two power lines of the power line 70 are electrically connected to the third conductive sheet 75 and the fourth conductive sheet 76, respectively. The contact portion 412 of the third conductive sheet 75 is in contact with the first conductive strip 13, and the contact portion 412 of the fourth conductive sheet 76 is in contact with the second conductive strip 14.

[0051] In some embodiments, the power line 70 is a two-core cable including a first power line and a second power line that are insulated from each other, and is used to connect to terminals of different polarities of an external power source, such as the phase and neutral lines of an AC power source, or the positive and negative lines of a DC power source. The present invention is not limited thereto.

[0052] Referring to Figures 16 and 19, the present invention further includes cabinet-type furniture. In the illustrated embodiment, the cabinet-type furniture includes at least one cabinet 80 and a modular power access device 300. Inside the cabinet 80 is a housing space 81, and the cabinet 80 is provided with mounting holes 1001 from which at least a portion of the power transmission mechanism 30 extends. The modular power access device 300 is mounted on the outside of the cabinet 80.

[0053] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 16, the cabinet 80 includes a first side cabinet panel 85, a second side cabinet panel 86, a third bottom cabinet panel 87, a fourth top cabinet panel 88, and a fifth rear cabinet panel 89. The assembly of the single-layer cabinet 80 is achieved by assembling the first side cabinet panel 85, the second side cabinet panel 86, the third bottom cabinet panel 87, the fourth top cabinet panel 88, and the fifth rear cabinet panel 89.

[0054] Depending on the user's customization requirements, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1, all modular power access devices 300 aligned in the same direction are arranged on the first side cabinet panel 85 of all cabinets 80.

[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 16, three rows of modular power access devices 300 are provided along three different vertical directions, two of which are located on the first side cabinet panel 85 of all cabinets and the other row is located on the second side cabinet panel 86 of all cabinets 80, with the three rows of modular power access devices 300 being arranged alternately.

[0056] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 17 and 18, the modular power access device 300 is provided in two rows along two horizontal directions at different heights. Both rows are located on the fifth rear cabinet panel 89 of all cabinets 80. The cabinets 80 are arranged laterally and can be connected in a straight line, L-shape, etc. The electrical devices 200 are mounted horizontally.

[0057] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 19, cabinet-type furniture of a specific height, such as a wardrobe, can have a modular power access device 300 installed on the fourth top panel 88 of all the cabinets 80. In this embodiment, the modular power access device 300 is arranged horizontally in two rows, and the electrical devices 200 are mounted vertically.

[0058] This invention is merely one example of a design idea that users may have for cabinet-type furniture, and can be applied to several other DIY designs. For example, the current collection rail 10 can be designed with a specific inclination angle according to the customer's request. There are no particular limitations in this invention.

[0059] On the other hand, the size of the storage space 81 of the cabinet 80 in this application is not particularly limited, and users can customize cabinets 80 of different sizes according to their needs and arrange them in different arrangements. The modular power access device 300 can be adjusted to suit the installation, which greatly improves installation efficiency.
