Controller switching equipment

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of equipment for distributing electric power.Especially, the present invention relates to a kind of housing, the housing to use In accommodating adaptor and the electrical contact with adapter is maintained for providing electric power.More particularly but and non-uniquely, this hair Bright to be related to a kind of thin-long casing, the thin-long casing can allow for adapter tapping (tap along from anywhere in shell length Off) electric power, adapter is thus allowed to any electrical equipment offer electric power for needing electric power.

Background technology

Traditional distribution system is provided by electric power point, and electric power point is typically installed at wall chamber or the surface of pre-position In the power outlets (position for being typically required power supply) of installation.Select in advance such electric power point position and often after Continuous demand might mean that electric power point is provided at the opening position and/or number deficiency of mistake.

Moreover, in convention, single electric power point can carry via the single plug being inserted into socket for multiple electrical equipment For socket expanded set.This may deteriorate due to the construction of some subordinate's expanded sets, wherein, the electricity of the socket within group housing Gas point is connected by the wired in series of more small dimension.Because its possible specification of the electric conduit of plug to expanded set generally can be The electric wire (cord) of the specification of single electrical equipment, and be inserted into multiple electrical equipment in expanded set and can use simultaneously, therefore load Given current loading can be can exceed that, so as to cause the overload of electric wire, its possible outcome overheat, fusing or burning.In order to reduce The risk of the series conductor overheat of group socket, some socket expanded sets provide the parallel busbar or electrical conductor bar through group, Each in extension socket can tap electric power therefrom.It should be noted, however, that electric current nevertheless suffers from the limitation of electric wire, lead to Cross the electric wire and tap electric power from power outlet via plug.

By making busbar or electrical conductor bar be connectable to electric power point to solve this last " weak ring of electric wire Section " will be beneficial.In consideration of it, the housing for such extension socket or tap distribution must be enabled, for by dry This connection and installation of line power supply point.The available such expanding unit of in the market is the single track (single of closing Track housing), the single track are used to close live wire, ground wire and zero line.Live wire and zero line are exposed, but by wrapping The space at the opposite side in the single broad gauge road of all live wires, ground wire and zero line is enclosed to separate.It is new with pin by providing Clever adapter taps supply to realize, the pin will be by rotating plug so that live wire pin and zero line pin can contact It is firstly inserted into before corresponding live wire and zero line among track with first contiguously, to connect with corresponding live wire and zero line Touch.

The shortcomings that equipment, includes making live wire and the exposure of zero line penetrating orbit and by space (each in rail section Top and bottom end, or the longitudinal direction side of track housing) separate, rather than insulated parcel.Also without predetermined number or The tap of position, therefore the plug of electrical equipment as much as possible that user can accommodate whole track housing is inserted into groove Or in track.Thus, there are still the danger of the shortage and overload of load control in the device.In addition, lack pre-determined bit Put and slidably the property of track means that tapping unit or plug can be slidably moved along track.If electrical equipment In use or electric current flows through, then such movement between electrical contact surface will cause electric arc and light the spark of fire Risk.

Another power distribution equipment is attempted by making all powered (live) conductor, ground connection (earth) conductor and neutrality (neutral) side positioning of the conductor along device is engaged for the current-carrying part with adapter to solve the upper of elastic conductor State problem.Which results in the thick and bulky housing for manufacture and installation.

In addition, in this traditional power distribution equipment, there is no lid in the overthe openings of device prevent dust enter and It is gathered within track and electric conductor.Moreover, in the case of no lid, might have the finger of user may unexpectedly enter Enter device and situation about being in contact with electric conductor.Although rubber baffle is utilized as lid, such rubber baffle Short life, and be easy to change colour, thus influence the attractive in appearance of device.In addition, this rubber baffle may decompose with the time, and It is broken into less.This small pieces of rubber baffle may be detained in a device, cause device to break down.

Therefore, although discussing and developing elongated electric conductor recently, these conductors are relative complex and be difficult to manufacture, Assembling and installation, and for the current bearing capacity for accommodating conductor, occupy sizable space.Therefore, it is necessary to one The improved and safe controller switching equipment of kind.
