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 conventional track light has an opening structure at the bottom side, so water and moisture can easily enter. Therefore, the conventional track light cannot be applied outdoors or in flooded places, but is only applied indoors. Meanwhile, if the track light is made into a sealed structure to prevent external water and moisture, there remains a problem that the external light cannot contact the two conductive plates provided on the track. In addition, the conventional track light requires a complex mechanical structure such as a tenon, slider, and mounting screw to mount the light on the track. Therefore, the manufacturing cost is high, the practical installation and adjustment are very inconvenient, and the light cannot be moved on the track without loosening multiple screws.

[0015] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The wireless power waterproof track light of the present invention is a waterproof track light that is mounted on a wall or ceiling. In a preferred embodiment, it includes an electric power supply track 10, a wireless electric power supply transmitting module 20, and a light 30. The wireless electric power supply transmitting module 20 is mounted on the electric power supply track 10, and the wireless electric power supply transmitting module 20 is attracted to the light 30 of the electric power supply track 10 by the wireless charging means.

[0016] 2 and 3, the electric power supply track 10 includes a track body 11 and two conductive bars 12, the track body 11 has a light mounting surface 111 inside, the track body 11 has a sealed sliding space 112 corresponding to the light mounting surface 111 inside, 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 power supply transmitting module 20. 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 square tube or a round tube extruded from an aluminum material, the flat surface of the square tube is the light mounting surface 111, and one or more lights 30 are magnetically attracted to the light mounting surface 111. The inside of the square tube can be the above-mentioned sealed sliding space 112, for example, and the inner wall of the tube body 13 is provided with two bar-shaped mounting grooves 131, and the two conductive bars 12 are also mounted in the two bar-shaped mounting grooves 131. Two end caps 14 are respectively sealed and cover both ends of the tube body 13, preventing 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, enters the sealed sliding space 112, and connects to the two conductive bars 12, and the other end is connected to a power source (such as a transformer). The above-mentioned conductive bars 12 are preferably copper bars, and one surface of the conductive bar 12 is coupled with an insulator 16, and fixed to the two bar-shaped mounting grooves 131 through each conductive bar 12 or the insulator 16 to supply electricity to the wireless electricity supply transmitting module 20.

[0017] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5. The wireless power supply transmitting module 20 preferably includes a sliding body 21, a transmitting coil 22, two conductive terminals 23, two first magnets 24, and one magnetic control switch 25. The sliding body 21 is mounted inside the sealed sliding space 112 of the truck body 11, and can be freely moved in the sealed sliding space 112. The transmitting coil 22 is a coil wound with copper wire and is mounted on the sliding body 21, and forms a magnetic field from inside the sealed sliding space 112 toward the light mounting surface 111. The two conductive terminals 23 are elements formed by pressing a copper plate, and are respectively mounted on the sliding body 21 and connected to the transmitting coil 22. The two conductive terminals 23 are in contact with the two conductive bars 12, and are moved together with the sliding body 21 (shown in Figure 5). The first magnet 24 is a permanent magnet fixed to the slider 21, and is attracted to the light 30 outside the rack body 11. The magnetic control switch 25 is an existing electronic element, and is connected to the circuit of the transmitting coil 22. When the light 30 is attached to the light attachment surface 111, the magnetic field of the third magnet 36 of the light 30 forms a circuit in the magnetic control switch 5, causing the transmitting coil 22 to conduct electricity. On the other hand, when the light 30 is removed, the circuit of the magnetic control switch 25 is cut off, and the transmitting coil 22 does not consume electricity.

[0018] Continuing to refer to Fig. 4. The form of the slider 21 is not limited, but in a preferred embodiment, a first casing 211 and a first cover 212 are implemented, and a plurality of mounting grooves 214, 215, 216, 217 are provided inside the first casing 211 for mounting the transmitting coil 22, the two conductive terminals 23, the first magnet 24, and the magnetic control switch 25, which are combined into modular components to facilitate mounting a plurality of wireless power supply modules 20 inside the rack body 11. The first casing 211 is provided with two openings 218 connecting mounting grooves 215 for mounting two conductive terminals 23 to the outside of the first casing 211. A conductive plate 231 is provided on each of the conductive terminals 23. When each conductive terminal 23 is mounted in the mounting groove 215, the conductive plate 231 protrudes through the openings 218 to the outer surface (shown in FIG. 3) of the first casing 211 and is movably contacted with the two conductive bars 12. Even if the slider 21 (first casing 211) is moved to any position (shown in FIG. 5) in the rack body 11, electricity can be supplied to the transmitting coil 22.

[0019] Continuing to refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. In a preferred embodiment of the light 30, the light 30 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 embodiment, the light body 31 can be separately mounted on the light mounting surface 111 of the truck body 11, and can be freely moved on the light mounting surface 111. The receiving coil 32 and the transmitting coil 22 are both implemented as ring coils wound with copper wire, and may be installed inside the wireless power supply receiving module 34 at the rear side of the light body 31, or may be directly installed 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, which supplies electricity to the light body 31. The second magnet 33 can be installed inside or embedded in the wireless electricity supply transmitting module 34 of the light body 31, or can be directly attached to the inside of the rear side of the light body 31, and can be attracted to the first magnet 24 of the wireless electricity supply transmitting module 20 and the light body 31 can be attracted to the light mounting surface 111.

[0020] Continuing to refer to Fig. 6 and Fig. 7. The wireless electricity supply receiving module 34 includes a second casing 341 and a second cover 342, and the second casing 341 or the second cover 342 is coupled to the rear side or one side of the light body 31 by the direction adjustment mechanism 35, and the receiving coil 32 and the second magnet 33 are fixed inside the second casing 341, respectively, so that the wireless electricity supply receiving module 34 is attracted to the first magnet 24 through the second magnet 33, and the light body 31 is separated, and the adsorption position can be adjusted and adsorbed on the light mounting surface 111 of the light body 11. The direction adjustment mechanism 35 can be, for example, an existing universal joint so that the irradiation angle of the light body 31 can be adjusted. Continuing to refer to Fig. 8. For example, the present invention does not use the second casing 341 and the second cover 342, and the receiving coil 32 and the second magnet 33 are fixed inside the light shell 311 at the rear side of the light body 31, and the effect of mutual attraction with the first magnet 24 can also be achieved. In addition, the wireless power supply receiving module 34 (second casing 341) of the present invention or the light casing 311 of the light body 31 further includes a rectifier circuit board 37, which is disposed between the receiving module 32 and the light emitting unit of the light body 31 to provide electric energy to the light body 31.

[0021] Continuing to refer to Figures 1 and 2. When using this proposal, the electric supply track 10 is mounted on a wall, ceiling or other object, and a number of wireless electric supply transmitting modules 20 are installed inside each electric supply track 10, and the rear side of the track 30 is mounted on the light mounting surface 111 of the track body 11, so that the second magnet 33 and the first magnet 24 of the wireless electric supply transmitting module 20 are attracted to each other, and the light 30 can be fixed to the light mounting surface 111, and the light 30 can be moved together with the wireless electric supply transmitting module 20 in the sealed sliding space 112. It is particularly noted that the wireless electric supply method of this proposal can realize the conductive terminals required for the conventional track light to be implemented in a tube body that seals both ends of the track body 11 without the structural means of contacting two conductive bars, and the light 30 can also be completed in a fully sealed structure, so as to realize the effect of waterproofing and outdoor installation of the track light.
