Abstract

A telescopic power supply track has a strip-shaped power supply base and a power taking module, the power taking module has a rod-shaped housing, a second external terminal, and two electrical contacts provided on the rod-shaped housing away from the second external terminal and are respectively set against the two conductive strips to position and electrically connect the power taking module; and two strip-shaped conductive members, arranged in the hollow structure of the rod-shaped housing, and the two ends of the strip-shaped conductive member are respectively electrically connected to the second external terminal and the two electrical contacts. The invention solves the problem of the long lead in the shelf in the prior art and the need to reserve the lead, reduces the time of the short line, increases beauty and improves safety.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A telescopic power supply track, comprising:
a strip-shaped power supply base ( 100 ), provided with two conductive strips ( 101 ) extending in the length direction, and one end is provided with a first external terminal ( 102 ) electrically connected to the two conductive strips ( 101 );
a power taking module ( 200 ), which slides in the length direction and is limited in the strip-shaped power supply base ( 100 ) in the radial direction;
characterized in that,
the power taking module ( 200 ), comprising:
a rod-shaped housing ( 201 ), provided with a hollow structure ( 2011 );
a second external terminal ( 202 ), provided on an end of the rod-shaped housing ( 201 ) away from the first external terminal ( 102 );
two electrical contacts ( 203 ), provided on the rod-shaped housing ( 201 ) away from the second external terminal ( 202 ) and are respectively set against the two conductive strips ( 101 ) to realize the positioning and electrical connection of the power taking module ( 200 );
and two strip-shaped conductive members ( 204 ), arranged in the hollow structure of the rod-shaped housing ( 201 ), and the two ends of the strip-shaped conductive member ( 204 ) are respectively electrically connected to the second external terminal ( 202 ) and the two electrical contacts ( 203 ).

2. The telescopic power supply track as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cross-section of the strip-shaped power supply base ( 100 ) is a U-shaped groove.

3. The telescopic power supply track as claimed in claim 2 , wherein two sides ( 103 ) of strip power supply base ( 100 ) are snap-fitted with the rod-shaped housing ( 201 ).

4. The telescopic power supply track as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conductive strips ( 101 ) are disposed on the bottom surface ( 104 ) of the strip-shaped power supply base ( 100 ).

5. The telescopic power supply track as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electrical contact ( 203 ) is an elastic piece structure.

6. The telescopic power supply track as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an end of the rod-shaped housing ( 201 ) is provided with an end cover ( 205 ) that encapsulates the hollow structure.

7. The telescopic power supply track as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the elastic piece structure, comprising
a fixed connection portion ( 2031 ), disposed in the end cover ( 205 ), and one end is electrically connected with the strip-shaped conductive member ( 204 );
and an elastic bending portion ( 2032 ),formed by extending the other end of the fixed connection portion ( 2031 ) toward the strip-shaped power supply base ( 100 ).

8. The telescopic power supply track as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conductive strip ( 101 ) and the strip-shaped conductive member ( 204 ) are made of a ferromagnetic substance, and the electrical contact ( 203 ) is a magnet and is fixed to the strip-shaped conductive member ( 204 ) in the length direction.

9. The telescopic power supply track as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the rod-shaped housing ( 201 ) is provided with two hollow structures ( 2011 ) side by side, and the two strip-shaped conductive members ( 204 ) pass through one of the hollow structures ( 2011 ), respectively.

10. The telescopic power supply track as claimed in claim 9 , wherein one side of the rod-shaped housing ( 201 ) facing the strip-shaped power supply base ( 100 ) is provided with two mounting grooves ( 2012 ) that communicate with the hollow structure ( 2011 ), and the strip-shaped conductive member ( 204 ) serves as the bottom surface of the mounting groove ( 2012 ); one side of the electrical contact ( 203 ) is attracted in the mounting groove ( 2012 ), and the other side is attracted to the corresponding conductive strip ( 101 ).
