110 is provided with at least one second groove 110a corresponding to the abovementioned at least one second engagement structure 124a'. The second groove 110a is, for example, provided on a top surface of the connection member 110. Therefore, the second engagement structure 124a' of the 20 additional member 130' can be inserted into the second groove 110a of the connection member 110 along a second assembly direction L2, thereby achieving effect of stable arrangement. The second assembly direction L2 is, for example, a gravity direction or vertical direction, which is, for example, perpendicular to the abovementioned first assembly direction LI. More
2018101595 24 Oct 2018 particularly, as shown in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, one end portion of the additional member 130' being the function member is electrically connected to the first electrical interface 122a of the power box main body 120, while the other end portion is fastened to the second groove 110a of the connection member 110. In other words, the additional member 130' of this embodiment is connected to the power box main body 120and the connection member 110 at the same time, so as to provide better or more stable assembly effect.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in this present invention, the additional member 130 can be detachably embedded in the power box main body 120, and an external surface of the power box main body 120 and an external surface of the additional member 130 are coplanar. In other words, the assembly of the power box main body 120 and the additional member 130 is a smooth structure as a whole. As a result, the modular track power box 100 can be connected to an assembly track via the connection member 110.
Further, please note that in the embodiment related to the modular track power box 100 as shown in FIG. 1, the connection member 110 is also provided with the second groove 110a as an example.
