Track Module, Electrical Connector and Track System for a Linear Motor Conveying System, Linear Motor Conveying System and Corresponding Method

Abstract

A track module for a linear motor conveying system is disclosed. The track module includes a track component, a conveying path for a carrier module to be received in the track module, and a bottom part. The track module has two ends and the conveying path extends between the two ends. The bottom part includes a bottom side and a top side, which opposes the bottom side. The track module includes, at one or at each of the two ends, a track-sided electrical interface of a plug-and-socket connection type, provided in the bottom part at the bottom side. The track-sided electrical interface is configured to be connected with a connector-sided electrical interface of an electrical connector along a plugging direction. The plugging direction is at least essentially oriented from the bottom side to the top side or vice versa. An electrical connector is also disclosed.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
