In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present application, a simple description of the track socket provided by the embodiment of the present application is provided below.

The track receptacle includes a power track and an adapter mounted to the power track.

The adapter has a mechanical connection relationship with the power rail and also has an electrical connection relationship. By means of a mechanical connection, the adapter can be locked to the power rail to fix the position of the adapter on the power rail. Through the electrical connection, the adapter can draw power from the power track in order to charge the device to be charged.

The device to be charged may be a smart phone, a smart watch or a tablet computer, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

The power rail has a plurality of metal sheets mounted therein, and typically the plurality of metal sheets may be a positive electrode metal sheet, a negative electrode metal sheet, and a ground electrode metal sheet. The adapter has mounted therein a plurality of electrically conductive contact pads, which may typically be positive, negative and ground contact pads. The positive electrode metal sheet corresponds to the positive electrode contact sheet, the negative electrode metal sheet corresponds to the negative electrode contact sheet, and the ground electrode metal sheet corresponds to the ground electrode contact sheet.

The power rail has a socket. When the installation module of the adapter is inserted into the socket, the positive electrode metal sheet is in contact with the positive electrode contact sheet, the negative electrode metal sheet is in contact with the negative electrode contact sheet, and the ground electrode metal sheet is in contact with the ground electrode contact sheet, so that the installation module can be electrically connected with the power rail, and then, when the adapter can take electricity from the power rail, the equipment to be charged can be charged. Other structures of the mounting module in the adapter will be described in the following embodiments.

In the embodiment of the application, the adapter can carry out wireless charging on the equipment to be charged after taking electricity from the power track. Therefore, even if a user does not carry the charging plug, the charging plug can charge the equipment to be charged through the track socket, so that the charging mode of the equipment to be charged is enriched, the charging of the equipment to be charged is more convenient and flexible, and the applicable scene of the track socket is enriched.

The adapter in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is an exploded view of an adapter according to an embodiment of the present application, fig. 2 is a schematic structural view of a base 100 according to an embodiment of the present application, fig. 3 is an exploded view of a wireless transmitting module 200 according to an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 4 is an exploded view of a mounting module 300 according to an embodiment of the present application, the adapter being mounted on a power rail (not shown).

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the adapter includes a base 100, a wireless transmission module 200, and a mounting module 300. The base 100 is provided with a first mounting groove 110. The wireless transmitting module 200 is located at one side of the base 100, and the wireless transmitting module 200 includes a plurality of conductive pins 210. The mounting module 300 is connected to the base 100, and the mounting module 300 includes a plurality of contact pads 310, where the plurality of contact pads 310 are in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of conductive pins 210. The first portion 311 of the contact 310 is located on a side of the base 100 facing the wireless transmitting module 200 after passing through the first mounting slot 110, and the second portion 312 of the contact 310 is used for taking electricity from the power rail. After the plurality of conductive pins 210 are electrically connected to the first portions 311 of the corresponding contact pads 310, the wireless transmitting module 200 transmits electrical energy to the device to be charged.

The number of the first mounting grooves 110 may be plural and the same as the number of the contact pieces 310. The plurality of first mounting grooves 110 are disposed on the base 100 at intervals, the plurality of first mounting grooves 110 and the plurality of contact pieces 310 have a one-to-one relationship, and the first portion 311 of each contact piece 310 is located on a side of the base 100 facing the wireless transmitting module 200 after passing through the corresponding first mounting groove 110, so as to facilitate the contact piece 310 to contact with the corresponding conductive pin 210.

The shape of the first mounting groove 110 may be a long circular arc shape. Since the position of the contact 310 relative to the power rail is not changed after the mounting module 300 is inserted into the socket of the power rail, and the base 100 is located outside the socket, the base 100 can rotate relative to the power rail, and thus the first mounting groove 110 on the base 100 is configured to be a long circular arc shape, so that the contact 310 is not driven to rotate or interfere with the contact 310 when the base 100 rotates.

The plurality of conductive pins 210 may be disposed at intervals on a side of the wireless transmitting module 200 facing the base 100, so that a distance between the conductive pins 210 and the corresponding contact pads 310 is relatively short, which can save a material usage amount of the conductive pins 210 or the contact pads 310, and is convenient for saving cost.

The contact piece 310 may have any shape such as a flat shape or a bent shape.

In the embodiment of the present application, the wireless transmitting module 200 is built in the adapter, and after the wireless transmitting module 200 is electrically connected with the installation module 300, the wireless transmitting module 200 can convert electric energy into electromagnetic energy and transmit the electromagnetic energy to the equipment to be charged, and the equipment to be charged is wirelessly charged by the electromagnetic induction principle. Therefore, even if a user does not carry the charging plug, the adapter can be used for charging the equipment to be charged, so that the application scene of the adapter is enriched, and the charging convenience and flexibility of the equipment to be charged are improved.

The wireless transmitting module 200 in the adapter provided by the application is of a modularized structure, can be replaced by various USB port modules, type-C port modules, clock modules and the like, and the multiplexing rate of other structural members except the wireless transmitting module 200 can reach 72%, so that the utilization rate of the other structural members is improved, and the use functions and application scenes of the adapter are enriched.

Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the wireless transmitting module 200 may include an electromagnetic coil 220 and a power-taking unit 230 connected to each other, and, with reference to fig. 1 and 3, the power-taking unit 230 is located between the electromagnetic coil 220 and the base 100, and the conductive pins 210 are disposed on a side of the power-taking unit 230 facing away from the electromagnetic coil 220. After the mounting module 300 is locked with the power track, the power take-off unit 230 moves between the electromagnetic coil 220 and the base 100 to electrically connect the conductive pins 210 with the corresponding contact pads 310.

Both ends of the electromagnetic coil 220 are electrically connected to the power taking unit 230. In the case that the plurality of conductive pins 210 contact the first portions 311 of the corresponding contact pads 310, the power taking unit 230 is powered, and the power taking unit 230 may provide power to the electromagnetic coil 220. When the electromagnetic coil 220 is energized, a high-frequency alternating magnetic field can be generated by current excitation, and the magnetic field penetrates air or other nonmetallic objects and is transmitted to the equipment to be charged so as to wirelessly charge the equipment to be charged.

After the mounting module 300 is locked with the power rail, assuming that the power taking unit 230 moves between the electromagnetic coil 220 and the base 100 in a direction approaching the base 100, the conductive pins 210 may contact with the corresponding contact pieces 310 to achieve the electrical connection of the wireless transmission module 200 with the mounting module 300. Assuming that the power taking unit 230 moves between the electromagnetic coil 220 and the base 100 in a direction away from the base 100, the conductive pins 210 may be separated from the corresponding contact pieces 310 to disconnect the electrical connection between the wireless transmission module 200 and the mounting module 300. The implementation of the locking of the installation module 300 to the power rail will be described in detail in the following embodiments, which will not be described herein.

In summary, the present application can realize the electrical connection of the adapter and the power rail after the installation module 300 of the adapter is locked with the power rail, or after the adapter is mechanically connected to the power rail, by controlling the power taking unit 230 to move between the electromagnetic coil 220 and the base 100, instead of realizing the electrical connection of the adapter and the power rail while the installation module 300 is inserted into the power rail. Therefore, the safety of the adapter when being installed on the power rail can be improved, and the possibility of safety accidents is reduced.

In addition, the power taking unit 230 is located between the electromagnetic coil 220 and the base 100, so that the power taking unit 230 is closer to the base 100, thereby saving the material consumption of the conductive pins 210 or the contact pieces 310, and saving the cost. On the other hand, the electromagnetic coil 220 can be arranged close to the outer side of the adapter, so that the transmission path of the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic coil 220 to the equipment to be charged is shortened, the difficulty of the transmission of the magnetic field to the equipment to be charged is reduced, the charging efficiency is improved, and the energy consumption of the adapter is reduced.

With continued reference to fig. 1, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the adapter may further include an upper cover 400, where the upper cover 400 is connected to the base 100. The wireless transmitting module 200 is located in a cavity defined by the upper cover 400 and the base 100.

The number of the first mounting posts 410, the number of the second mounting posts 120, and the number of the screws may be plural, and the plural first mounting posts 410, the plural second mounting posts 120, and the plural screws are in one-to-one correspondence. A screw connects a first mounting post 410 with a second mounting post 120, and the reliability of the connection between the upper cover 400 and the base 100 can be improved by connecting the upper cover 400 with the base 100 through a plurality of screws.

The wireless transmitting module 200 is placed in the cavity surrounded by the upper cover 400 and the base 100, the wireless transmitting module 200 can be protected by the upper cover 400 and the base 100, the possibility that the wireless transmitting module 200 is exposed to the outside and is immersed in water or damaged by other damage is reduced, and the service life of the adapter is prolonged conveniently.

For the manner in which the electromagnetic coil 220 is mounted, in some embodiments, the electromagnetic coil 220 may be supported by the base 100.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, an end of the second mounting post 120 facing the first mounting post 410 may extend into the first mounting hole 221, so that the electromagnetic coil 220 may be supported on the base 100.

In other embodiments, the electromagnetic coil 220 may be mounted to the upper cover 400.

The side of the upper cover 400 facing the base 100 may be provided with a groove into which the electromagnetic coil 220 may be inserted, enabling the installation of the electromagnetic coil 220 on the upper cover 400.

The position of the electromagnetic coil 220 relative to the base 100 and the upper cover 400 can be fixed whether the electromagnetic coil 220 is supported on the base 100 or mounted on the upper cover 400, so that the electromagnetic coil 220 is not easy to shake or move in position in the upper cover 400 and the base 100, and the possibility of connection failure between the electromagnetic coil 220 and the power taking unit 230 due to the shake or the position movement of the electromagnetic coil 220 can be reduced.

Since the movable housing 600, the upper cover 400, and the base 100 are connected by screws, and the base 100 is connected to the mounting module 300, after the adapter is locked to the power rail, the movable housing 600, the upper cover 400, and the base 100 are not rotated with respect to the power rail, and the rotator 500 is not connected to the movable housing 600, the upper cover 400, and the base 100 by screws, and the abutting portion 511 is located in the engaging portion 621, assuming that the rotator 500 is not rotated with respect to the movable housing 600, the rotator 500 does not apply a force to the movable housing 600; if the rotator 500 rotates relative to the movable base 600, the abutting portion 511 is displaced from the engaging portion 621, and the abutting portion 511 pushes the movable base 600 in a direction approaching the base 100.

In the case that the electricity taking unit 230 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall 610 of the movable base 600, the electricity taking unit 230 will move along with the movable base 600 in a direction approaching to the base 100 until the conductive pins 210 on the electricity taking unit 230 contact with the corresponding contact pieces 310, so that the electrical connection between the conductive pins 210 and the contact pieces 310 can be achieved.

With continued reference to fig. 5, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the upper cover 400 may be provided with a second mounting groove 420. Fig. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of a support 700 according to an embodiment of the present application, and referring to fig. 1, 5 and 8, the adapter may further include a support 700, where the support 700 is mounted on the second mounting groove 420, and the support 700 can move along the second mounting groove 420, and the support 700 is used for supporting a device to be charged.

The second mounting groove 420 penetrates the upper cover 400 in the cover-to-base cover direction OX.

The support 700 is partially located within the second mounting groove 420, and the second mounting groove 420 provides a guiding action for the support 700 such that the support 700 can move along the second mounting groove 420 in the capping direction OX of the upper cap and the base.

When the adapter is used in a kitchen or the like, the adapter needs to be mounted on a power rail of a wall surface, and in this case, the upper cover 400 of the adapter is in a vertical state. If the device to be charged is placed on the side of the upper cover 400 facing away from the base 100 to be charged, the device to be charged is easily dropped, which affects the normal charging of the device to be charged, assuming that there is no support of the support 700.

Based on this, the present application mounts the support 700 to the second mounting groove 420 of the upper cover 400. When the device to be charged needs to be charged, the support 700 may be pulled along the second mounting groove 420 in a direction away from the base 100, so that the support 700 is partially located at a side of the upper cover 400 facing away from the base 100, and then the device to be charged is placed at a position where the support 700 is close to the upper cover 400 for charging. In this way, the support 700 can support the device to be charged, so that the device to be charged is not easy to fall off during charging, and normal charging of the device to be charged is not affected.

When it is not necessary to charge the device to be charged, the support 700 may be pushed along the second mounting groove 420 in a direction approaching the base 100 such that the support 700 is received between the upper cover 400 and the base 100. In this way, the support 700 does not occupy additional space, and does not increase the volume of the adapter.

It should be noted that, instead of the support 700 being configured as a drawer type and being mounted to the second mounting groove 420 of the upper cover 400 as described above, the support 700 may be configured as a flip cover type and be rotatably connected to a side of the upper cover 400 facing away from the base 100, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

The operation opening 430 may be a groove or a notch provided at a side of the upper cover 400 facing away from the base 100.

When the support 700 is mounted to the second mounting groove 420 and the second mounting groove 420 communicates with the operation port 430, if the support 700 needs to be pulled in a direction away from the base 100 along the second mounting groove 420, a hand or tool can be inserted into the operation port 430 and then force can be applied to the support 700 from the side of the support 700, so that the support 700 can be easily moved in a direction away from the base 100 along the second mounting groove 420, thereby improving the efficiency of pulling the support 700 from the second mounting groove 420.

With continued reference to fig. 8, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8, the support 700 may include a body portion 710 and a release preventing portion 720 that are connected to each other, and, with reference to fig. 1, 5 and 8, the body portion 710 is movably mounted in the second mounting groove 420, and the release preventing portion 720 is located on a side of the upper cover 400 facing the base 100.

The body portion 710 may be plate-shaped, frame-shaped, or the like, and the drop-off prevention portion 720 may be plate-shaped, column-shaped, or the like. The size of the drop-off prevention portion 720 in the width direction of the first mounting groove 110 may be greater than the groove width of the first mounting groove 110 so that the drop-off prevention portion 720 may be always located at a side of the upper cover 400 facing the base 100.

The body portion 710 and the anti-falling portion 720 may be integrally formed, so that an assembling process of the body portion 710 and the anti-falling portion 720 is omitted, and the body portion 710 and the anti-falling portion 720 may be connected by means of screw connection or snap connection after being separately formed.

The anti-falling portion 720 is always located at one side of the upper cover 400 facing the base 100, and in the process of pulling the support member 700 along the second mounting groove 420 in a direction away from the base 100, the anti-falling portion 720 is blocked at one side of the upper cover 400 facing the base 100, so that the excessive movement of the support member 700 can be limited, and the possibility of falling off from the second mounting groove 420 due to the excessive movement of the support member 700 is reduced.

Further, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8, the support 700 may further include a limiting portion 730, where the limiting portion 730 is connected to a side of the body portion 710 away from the anti-falling portion 720, and the limiting portion 730 is used for limiting the device to be charged from falling off the support 700.

The stopper 730 may be plate-shaped, columnar, or the like.

The stopper 730 and the drop-preventing portion 720 are connected to opposite sides of the body portion 710 in the cover-to-base cover direction OX, and the stopper 730 and the drop-preventing portion 720 are located at both sides of the upper cover 400 after the support 700 is pulled in a direction away from the base 100 along the second mounting groove 420.

The application not only can limit the excessive movement of the supporting member 700 by the anti-falling part 720 positioned at one side of the upper cover 400 facing the base 100, thereby reducing the possibility of falling off from the second mounting groove 420 due to the excessive movement of the supporting member 700, but also can reduce the possibility of falling off the supporting member 700 by the limiting part 730 positioned at one side of the upper cover 400 facing away from the base 100, thereby facilitating the smooth proceeding of the charging process of the to-be-charged device.

With continued reference to fig. 4, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the mounting module 300 may include a guide unit 320 and a connection unit 330, the guide unit 320 is provided with a first through hole 321, and, with reference to fig. 1 and 4, a first end of the connection unit 330 is connected to the base 100 through the first through hole 321, and a second end of the connection unit 330 is used to cooperate with a power rail to mount the adapter to the power rail.

The guide unit 320 is substantially located between the base 100 and the connection unit 330.

In practice, in order to reduce the likelihood of the adaptor shaking relative to the power rail after being mounted on the power rail, the shape of the bracket 322 may be a cuboid, and the size of the bracket 322 may be adapted to the size of the socket, so that the bracket 322 may just extend into the socket, and shaking is not easy to occur in the socket.

The support 322 is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves 3221, the sliding grooves 3221 are in one-to-one correspondence with the contact pieces 310, each contact piece 310 is mounted on the corresponding sliding groove 3221, and the first portion 311 and the second portion 312 of the contact piece 310 are exposed outside the support 322, so that the contact piece 310 can be detachably mounted on the support 322. The contact 310 may have any shape such as a flat shape or a bent shape.

The contact piece 310 is detachably connected with the bracket 322, rather than being integrally injection molded on the bracket 322, so that when one contact piece 310 mounted on the bracket 322 is damaged, the contact piece 310 to be replaced can be conveniently detached from the bracket 322 for replacement, the utilization rate of the undamaged contact piece 310 and the bracket 322 is improved, and the cost loss is reduced.

The first through hole 321 penetrates the bracket 322 along the covering direction OX of the upper cover and the base, and the first through hole 321 may be a cylindrical hole, so that the connecting unit 330 penetrating the first through hole 321 does not drive the guiding unit 320 to rotate together when rotating with the base 100, so as to ensure the normal use of the adapter.

Fig. 11 is a schematic structural diagram of a connection unit 330 according to an embodiment of the present application, and referring to fig. 1, 10 and 11, the connection unit 330 includes a mounting portion 331 and a connection portion 332 connected to each other, and one end of the connection portion 332, i.e. a first end of the connection unit 330, is fixedly connected to the base 100 through the first through hole 321, so that the mounting portion 331 can be driven to rotate by the connection portion 332 when the base 100 rotates, and the mounting portion 331 is locked to or separated from the power rail. The other end of the connection portion 332 is connected to the mounting portion 331, i.e., the second end of the connection unit 330, which is for being mated with the power rail to mount the adapter to the power rail.

In combination with fig. 1, fig. 2, and fig. 11, the base 100 may be provided with a second through hole 130 along the covering direction OX of the upper cover and the base, and a hole wall of the second through hole 130 is provided with a limiting slot 131. One end of the connecting portion 332 sequentially passes through the first through hole 321 and the second through hole 130, and a part of the connecting portion 332 is located in the limiting groove 131, so as to realize connection between the connecting portion 332 and the base 100.

The shape of the mounting portion 331 may be the same as the shape of the bracket 322, so long as the mounting portion 331 is guaranteed to extend into the socket of the power rail and be able to abut against the power rail after the mounting portion 331 rotates with the base 100, so as to fix the position of the adapter on the power rail. The connection portion 332 may be a columnar structure, a plate-like structure, or the like provided in the mounting portion 331 toward the base 100.

In summary, the present application is mechanically connected to the power rail through the connection unit 330, and is electrically connected to the power rail through the guide unit 320, instead of the contact piece 310 for power taking being a structural member for realizing mechanical connection and electrical connection to the power rail, compared with the prior art that the contact piece 310 is simultaneously realized through the conductive piece for power taking being a mechanical connection and electrical connection to the power rail, the loss of the contact piece 310 can be reduced, and the service life of the contact piece 310 can be prolonged.

Further, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 10, the guide unit 320 may further include a blocking piece 323. Fig. 10 shows two plugs 323, one plug 323 being mounted to the runner 3221 from a first side of the bracket 322 to limit the position of the contact blade 310 mounted to the runner 3221 from the first side; another blocking member 323 is mounted to the chute 3221 from a second side of the bracket 322 to limit the position of the contact tab 310 mounted to the chute 3221 from the second side. Wherein the first side and the second side are opposite sides of the bracket 322 in the mounting direction of the contact piece 310.

The blocking member 323 may include a plug member 3231 and a cover 3232, the plug member 3231 is inserted into the slide groove 3221, and a side of the plug member 3231 away from the cover 3232 abuts against the contact piece 310. The cover 3232 is connected to the plug 3231 on a side thereof remote from the contact 310, and the cover 3232 is detachably connected to the bracket 322.

The cover 3232 has a plate-like structure. As shown in fig. 10, one cover 3232 may be connected to one plug 3231, and one cover 3232 may also be connected to two plugs 3231.

The present application can limit the position of the contact piece 310 in the installation direction of the contact piece 310 by the blocking piece 323, reducing the possibility that the contact piece 310 falls off from the chute 3221.

In order to facilitate understanding, the following explains the use procedure of the adapter provided by the present application.

In the present application, when the adaptor is mounted on the power rail, the adaptor is moved toward the socket as a whole while ensuring that the mounting portion 331 of the connection unit 330 and the bracket 322 of the guide unit 320 are parallel to each other, as shown in fig. 12, and that the mounting portion 331 and the bracket 322 are opposed to the socket of the power rail. After the mounting module 300 is inserted into the socket, the base 100 is rotated forward, so that the base 100 drives the mounting portion 331 to rotate forward through the connecting portion 332 until the mounting portion 331 rotates to have a non-zero included angle with the power rail, as shown in fig. 13, and the mechanical connection between the adapter and the power rail can be achieved. Wherein, taking the illustrated placement orientation as an example, the forward rotation may be a clockwise rotation. In addition, the non-zero included angle may be an included angle of 85 degrees, 86 degrees, or 90 degrees, etc., adjacent to 90 degrees.

The rotating member 500 is rotated relative to the movable base 600, and the abutting portion 511 of the rotating member 500 is dislocated with the mating portion 621 of the movable base 600, and the abutting portion 511 pushes the movable base 600 in a direction approaching the base 100 until the plurality of conductive pins 210 on the power taking unit 230 contact with the corresponding contact pieces 310, so that the plurality of conductive pins 210 can be electrically connected with the corresponding contact pieces 310, and the wireless transmitting module 200 and the mounting module 300 can be electrically connected. Then, the device to be charged can be wirelessly charged through the adapter.

After the charging is completed, the rotator 500 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the pushing against the movable seat 600 is released. The movable seat 600 drives the electricity taking unit 230 to move in a direction away from the base 100 under the elastic force of the elastic member arranged between the rotating member 500 and the movable seat 600 until the plurality of conductive pins 210 on the electricity taking unit 230 are separated from the corresponding contact pieces 310, so that the plurality of conductive pins 210 can be electrically disconnected from the corresponding contact pieces 310, and the disconnection of the wireless transmitting module 200 and the installation module 300 is realized.

When the adapter is used and the adapter needs to be detached from the power rail, the base 100 can be reversely rotated, so that the base 100 drives the mounting part 331 to reversely rotate through the connecting part 332 until the mounting part 331 rotates to be parallel to the power rail, and the mechanical connection between the adapter and the power rail can be released. At this time, the adapter can be detached from the power rail by applying a force to the adapter facing away from the power rail. Wherein, taking the illustrated placement orientation as an example, the counter rotation may be a counter-clockwise rotation.

The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present application, and are not limiting; although the application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical scheme described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
