[0002] When decorating, people usually install shower rooms in the bathroom, which are usually composed of multiple shower doors with glass panels. When installing each shower door, usually a fixed frame is first fixed to the wall, and then the adjustable frame for loading the glass panel is moved horizontally close to the fixed frame, and the distance between the ends of the two is adjusted so that the adjustable frame is in a vertical state, and finally holes are drilled on the sides of the fixed frame and the adjustable frame and the two are fastened together with threaded fasteners.
[0003] Since shower door frames are usually made of aluminum, drilling holes later can easily damage the frame surface, affecting the appearance of the product, and even causing damage to the adjustable frame or fixed frame. Especially for shower doors, the side parallel to the shower glass is the part that users can directly observe when entering and exiting the bathroom, which is particularly conspicuous. Therefore, drilling holes there will have a significant impact on the overall appearance of the shower door and shower room. In addition, since drilling holes requires the cooperation of at least two installers to complete, it takes a long time and is inconvenient to install. Summary of the invention

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] (1) The profile connection structure of the embodiment of the present invention adopts a first stopper and a second stopper that can establish a stopper matching relationship in the first direction as intermediate connection members, and respectively configures them to be fixed to the first profile and slidably connected to the second profile only along the length direction, so that the second stopper can be locked or unlocked to the first stopper in the first direction by sliding the second stopper, thereby realizing the assembly and disassembly of the first profile and the second profile in the first direction; therefore, when connecting the profiles, there is no need to drill holes in the profiles in a direction perpendicular to both the length direction and the first direction, so that the profiles will not be damaged, and the overall appearance of the profile products can be improved;
[0022] (2) In the profile connection structure of the embodiment of the present invention, when the profiles are connected, the first stopper supports the second stopper in the length direction, so that the second stopper will not reverse out of the locking position due to its own factors when not disturbed, thereby ensuring the stable connection of the profiles under normal circumstances;
[0023] (3) The profile connection structure of the embodiment of the present invention is provided with an operating member, which is configured to be actuated at the end of the second profile and can drive the second limiter to slide; the installer can operate the operating member at the end of the profile to drive the second limiter, which provides convenience for the installer to operate the second limiter, thereby solving the problem that in some scenarios, after the first profile and the second profile are connected, the second limiter is shielded by the first profile or the second profile in the second direction, so that the installer cannot operate the second limiter from the side of the profile when the two profiles approach each other along the first direction;
[0024] (4) In the profile connection structure of the embodiment of the present invention, the operating member is configured to be screw-matched with the second limiter, and the second limiter is non-rotatably connected to the second profile, so that the second limiter is driven to slide along the length direction by rotating the operating member, which has the advantages of stable transmission and labor saving; and because the operating member and the second limiter are screw-matched, the two are relatively fixed in the length direction when the operating member is not actuated, so it is convenient to control the sliding stroke of the second limiter;
[0025] (5) In the profile connection structure of the embodiment of the present invention, the first support member is fixedly connected to the second profile and supports the operating member in the length direction; before the entirety formed by the operating member, the second limiting member and the second profile is connected to the first profile and the first limiting member, the installer does not need to worry about the operating member and the second limiting member sliding too much beyond the locking position, thereby increasing the number of installation steps and making installation difficult, and there is no need to apply a continuous force to the entirety formed by the operating member and the second limiting member to keep it in a position suitable for actuation;
[0026] (6) In the profile connection structure of the embodiment of the present invention, the first support member is provided with a clearance hole for the operating member to pass through, thereby playing a role in guiding the operating member when connecting it to the second profile;
[0027] (7) In the profile connection structure of the embodiment of the present invention, the first limiting member is provided with a clearance groove opening toward the first direction, and the operating member is slidably arranged in the clearance groove along the first direction, so that the first profile and the second profile are closer in the first direction after being connected;
[0028] (8) The profile connection structure of the embodiment of the present invention further includes a third limiting member and a fourth limiting member, wherein the third limiting member limits the fourth limiting member in the first direction when the fourth limiting member slides to its corresponding locking position; since the second limiting member and the fourth limiting member are driven by the operating member to abut against the first limiting member and the third limiting member in opposite directions when they are in the corresponding locking positions, the directions in which they are separated from the corresponding locking positions are also opposite, so that they can limit each other from being separated from the corresponding locking positions at the corresponding locking positions, thereby forming an interlocking relationship. When subjected to external disturbances, the first profile and the second profile can still have a stable connection due to the interlocking relationship;
[0029] (9) In the profile connection structure of the embodiment of the present invention, since the operating member is screw-fitted with the second limiting member and the fourth limiting member, a thread pre-tightening force can be generated, so that the second limiting member and the fourth limiting member are respectively and continuously abutted against the first limiting member and the third limiting member along the length direction, and since the abutting directions are opposite, there is a tensioning effect, thereby generating a certain friction force, so that the limiting fit of each limiting member in the first direction is tighter;
[0030] (10) In the profile connection structure of the embodiment of the present invention, when the second profile is connected to the first profile, the first limiter provides support for the whole formed by the second limiter, the fourth limiter and the operating member, thereby preventing the second limiter and the fourth limiter from being separated from the corresponding locking position; the first supporting member provides support for the whole through the fourth limiter, thereby preventing the second limiter and the fourth limiter from sliding beyond the corresponding locking position;
[0031] (11) In the profile connection structure of the embodiment of the present invention, the operating member is rotatably connected to the second profile and includes a first screw, a second screw and a connecting rod extending in the same direction and fixed to each other. The first screw and the second screw have opposite spiral directions and are respectively spirally matched with the second limiter and the fourth limiter, so that the two can be synchronously driven to slide to or away from the corresponding locking position in opposite directions, and the assembly and disassembly efficiency is high. In addition, the operating member of the split structure is conducive to more convenient assembly and connection to the second profile when there is only a narrow operating space in the length direction.
[0032] (12) The profile connection structure of the embodiment of the present invention adopts the tooth meshing method to realize the limiting cooperation of the limiting member in the first direction. Since the teeth of the tooth part are arranged at intervals along the first direction and the mutual spacing is small, when the assembly precision is not high, the teeth of the tooth part can still be adaptively meshed, and the installation success rate is high and the efficiency is correspondingly improved; in addition, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the first profile and the second profile after the connection, since the teeth of the tooth part are arranged at intervals along the first direction, when the two are at different distances, the first limiting member and the second limiting member can still realize the limiting cooperation in the first direction, so that the profile connection structure has an adjustment function, that is, the spacing and angle between the first profile and the second profile after the connection along the first direction can be adjusted, which is particularly applicable when the two profiles need to be installed at an angle;
[0033] (13) In the profile connection structure of the embodiment of the present invention, the second limiting member and the second profile are provided with a dovetail slider, and the second profile is fixedly connected with a sliding matching seat having a dovetail slide groove, so that the second limiting member and the second profile only have the freedom to slide relative to each other along the length direction, thereby achieving the corresponding function while facilitating the manufacture of the second profile;
[0034] (14) In the profile connection structure of the embodiment of the present invention, when the first limiter does not support the second limiter in the length direction, the second support member is fixed to the second profile and supports the operating member in the length direction, integrating the supporting functions of the first limiter and the first support member for the whole formed by the second limiter and the operating member in two different situations; therefore, regardless of whether the profile is connected or not, the second support member can provide effective support for the operating member and the second limiter, preventing the second limiter from sliding unnecessarily during assembly and disassembly, thereby achieving efficient and stable profile connection;
[0035] (15) The shower room of the embodiment of the present invention inherits all the advantages of the profile connection structure of the above-mentioned embodiment, and has the characteristics of complete product appearance, convenient installation and easy adjustment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0065] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0066] In the claims, description and the above-mentioned drawings of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, the use of terms such as "first", "second" or "third" etc. are for distinguishing different objects rather than for describing a specific order.
[0067] In the claims, specification and the above-mentioned drawings of the present invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, directional words, such as the terms "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "horizontal", "vertical", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions and positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the specific protection scope of the present invention.
[0068] In the claims, specification and the above drawings of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, if the term "fixed connection" or "fixed connection" is used, it should be understood in a broad sense, that is, any connection method without a displacement relationship and relative rotation relationship between the two, that is to say, including non-detachable fixed connection, detachable fixed connection, integrated connection and fixed connection through other devices or elements.
[0069] In the claims, description and drawings of the present invention, if the terms "include", "have" and their variations are used, they are intended to mean "including but not limited to".
[0070] The following embodiments of the present invention exemplarily illustrate various profile connection structures, which are used to achieve non-destructive assembly and disassembly of a first profile 10 and a second profile 20 arranged in parallel along a first direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the profiles.
[0071] It should be noted that the present invention limits the profile installation and disassembly direction to the first direction because in certain scenarios, such as a shower room scenario, due to factors such as the heavy weight of the profile and the small longitudinal space of the bathroom, it is not convenient to move and misalign the two relative to each other in the longitudinal direction when installing and disassembling the profile, and therefore only horizontal installation and disassembly can be performed. The present invention is intended to achieve lossless installation and disassembly of profiles in similar scenarios.
[0072] In addition, in the shower room scenario, the interconnected first profile 10 and the second profile 20 can generally be plugged in and matched along the first direction, and form a plug-in matching surface parallel to the first direction and the length direction, so as to limit the relative movement of the two in a direction perpendicular to both the length direction and the first direction (hereinafter referred to as the second direction), so the following embodiments of the present invention do not involve the limiting relationship of the two profiles in the second direction. However, it goes without saying that based on the content disclosed in the present invention, those skilled in the art can add a limiting structure corresponding to the second direction to each limiting member of the following embodiments of the present invention, so that it can also achieve all-directional limiting and stable connection in other application scenarios.
[0073] Example 1
[0074] Reference Figure 1-2 , which shows a profile connection structure, including: a first limiting member 110, a second limiting member 120, an operating member 130 and a first supporting member 140.
[0075] The first stopper 110 is fixedly connected to the first profile 10. In each embodiment of the present invention, a threaded fastener is used to fix the first stopper 110 to the first profile 10. Of course, other fastening methods may also be used.
[0076] The second stopper 120 is configured to be slidably connected to the second profile 20 only along the length direction. In other words, the second stopper 120 has only the freedom to slide along the length direction relative to the second profile 20, and is non-rotatably connected to the second profile 20, and cannot move relative to the second profile 20 in the first direction. In each embodiment of the present invention, the second stopper 120 preferably adopts a dovetail slider and the second profile 20 has a dovetail slot to realize the above configuration, and its specific structure will be more clearly shown in the subsequent embodiments.
[0077] In this embodiment, the second stopper 120 can slide to a locking position, and the first stopper 110 is suitable for supporting the second stopper 120 in the length direction and limiting it in the first direction when the second stopper 120 slides to the locking position. In other words, when the second stopper 120 is located in the locking position, since the first stopper 110 and the second stopper 120 establish a limiting matching relationship, and the second stopper 120 is relatively fixed with the second profile 20 in the first direction, the first profile 10 and the second profile 20 are connected in the first direction through the two stoppers; and in the length direction, the second stopper 120 will not release its limiting matching relationship with the first stopper 110 due to its own weight and slide in the opposite direction relative to the first stopper 110 to leave the locking position, which is particularly suitable for scenes where the length direction will not be disturbed after the profiles are connected (such as shower room scenes). When the profile needs to be removed, it is only necessary to apply external disturbance to make the second limit member 120 slide in the opposite direction and leave the locking position, and the assembly and disassembly process is very convenient.
[0078] Regarding the position-limiting cooperation in the first direction after the first position-limiting member 110 and the second position-limiting member 120 slide relative to each other, the embodiments of the present invention preferably adopt the method of tooth meshing, and its specific structure will be more clearly shown in the subsequent embodiments. In other embodiments, the first position-limiting member 110 and the second position-limiting member 120 can also adopt the method of plug-in cooperation such as buckle and slot for position-limiting.
[0079] The embodiment of the present invention adopts a first stopper 110 and a second stopper 120 that can establish a stopper matching relationship in the first direction as intermediate connecting members, and respectively configures them to be fixed to the first profile 10 and only slidably connected to the second profile 20 along the length direction, so that the second stopper 120 can be locked or unlocked to the first stopper 110 in the first direction by sliding, thereby realizing the assembly and disassembly of the first profile 10 and the second profile 20 in the first direction. Therefore, when connecting the profiles, there is no need to drill holes in the profile in the second direction, so the profile will not be damaged, and the overall appearance of the profile product can be improved. The supporting effect of the first stopper 110 on the second stopper 120 in the length direction ensures that the second stopper 120 will not reversely deviate from the locking position due to its own factors when it is not disturbed, thereby ensuring the stable connection of the profiles under normal circumstances.
[0080] Furthermore, the operating member 130 of this embodiment is rotatably connected to the second profile 20, and is configured to be actuated at the end of the second profile 20 to drive the second stopper 120 to slide relative to the second profile 20 along the length direction. In various embodiments of the present invention, the operating member 130 and the second stopper 120 are preferably configured to be screw-fitted, and the screw axis thereof extends along the length direction. Since the second stopper 120 is non-rotatably connected to the second profile 20, the second stopper 120 is driven to slide when the operating member 130 rotates. In addition, since the operating member 130 and the second stopper 120 are screw-fitted, the two are relatively fixed in the length direction when the operating member 130 is not actuated, which facilitates the control of the sliding stroke of the second stopper 120, and its advantages and functions will be more clearly reflected in the introduction of the subsequent embodiments. In other embodiments, it is also feasible to use a cam transmission method to convert rotational motion and linear motion. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the operating member 130 may be configured to slide relative to the second profile 20 to directly abut against and drive the second stopper 120 to slide. Therefore, in the present invention, the operating member 130 is movably connected to the second profile 20 and can drive the second stopper 120 to slide.
[0081] The purpose of setting the operating member 130 in this embodiment is to facilitate the installer to operate the second limiter 120. This is because in some scenarios, such as a shower room scenario, after the first profile 10 and the second profile 20 are connected, the second limiter 120 is shielded by the first profile 10 or the second profile 20 in the second direction, so that the installer cannot operate the second limiter 120 from the side of the profile (i.e., along the second direction) when the two profiles approach each other along the first direction. In this embodiment, due to the presence of the operating member 130, the installer can operate the operating member 130 at the end of the profile (in the shower room scenario, generally the upper end), thereby realizing the driving of the second limiter 120. It is understandable that if in a certain application scenario, the first profile 10 and the second profile 20 do not cover the limit member in the said direction, for example, the first profile 10 and the second profile 20 are both plate-shaped profiles, and their plate surfaces are perpendicular to the first direction, then the installer can directly operate the second limit member 120 by hand, and the said operating member 130 is not needed.
[0082] Therefore, refer to Figure 2 Taking the direction shown as an example, the assembly and disassembly process of this embodiment is as follows: when installing, the second profile 20 is moved close to the first profile 10 along the first direction, and the operating member 130 is rotated in the first circumferential direction to make the second limiting member 120 slide downward, and it cooperates with the first limiting member 110 in the first direction at the locking position to achieve the connection between the two profiles; when removing, the operating member 130 is rotated in the opposite direction of the first circumferential direction and the second limiting member 120 slides upward to release the limiting cooperation relationship with the first limiting member 110, and then the second profile 20 is moved away from the first profile 10 along the first direction to complete the removal of the two profiles.
[0083] As a more preferred embodiment, this embodiment includes the first support member 140, which is fixed to the second profile 20 and supports the operating member 130 in the length direction. Exemplarily, the operating member 130 has a horizontal stopper, and the first support member 140 is provided with a stopper surface suitable for cooperating with the stopper to support the operating member 130. Therefore, before the whole composed of the operating member 130, the second stopper 120 and the second profile 20 is connected with the first profile 10 and the first stopper 110, the installer does not need to worry about the operating member 130 and the second stopper 120 sliding too much to exceed the locking position, thereby increasing the installation process and making the installation difficult, and there is no need to apply a continuous force to the whole composed of the operating member 130 and the second stopper 120 to keep it in a position suitable for actuation. In essence, the above structure limits the sliding stroke of the second stopper 120, making it easier to drive it through the operating member 130 during the assembly and disassembly action, thereby improving the assembly and disassembly efficiency.
[0084] Furthermore, in order to enable the operating member 130 to be stably and movably connected to the second profile 20, the first support member 140 is provided with a clearance hole for the operating member 130 to pass through, so that the support member also serves to guide the operating member 130 when connecting it to the second profile 20.
[0085] In addition, in this embodiment, the first limiting member 110 is provided with a clearance groove opening toward the first direction, and the operating member 130 is slidably arranged in the clearance groove along the first direction, so that the first profile 10 and the second profile 20 can have a closer distance in the first direction after connection.
[0086] Example 2
[0087] Reference Figure 3-4 , which shows another profile connection structure different from Example 1, which includes: a first limiting member 210, a second limiting member 220, an operating member 230 and a second supporting member 240.
[0088] The first limiting member 210 is fixed to the first profile 10 .
[0089] The second limiting member 220 is configured to be slidably connected to the second profile 20 only along the length direction, and is limited by the first limiting member 210 in the first direction when the second limiting member 220 slides to a locking position.
[0090] The operating member 230 is rotatably connected to the second profile 20, and drives the second stopper 220 to slide to the locking position through screw engagement. Since the operating member 230 and the second stopper 220 are screwed together, when the operating member 230 does not drive the second stopper 220, the two are relatively fixed in the length direction and form a whole.
[0091] The second supporting member 240 is fixed to the second profile 20 and is suitable for supporting the operating member 230 in the length direction.
[0092] Reference Figure 4 Taking the direction shown as an example, the assembly and disassembly process of this embodiment is as follows: when installing, the second profile 20 is moved closer to the first profile 10 along the first direction, and the operating member 230 is rotated in the first circumferential direction to make the second limiting member 220 slide upward, and it cooperates with the first limiting member 210 in the first direction at the locking position to achieve the connection between the two profiles; when removing, the operating member 230 is rotated in the opposite direction of the first circumferential direction and the second limiting member 220 slides downward to release the limiting cooperation relationship with the first limiting member 210, and then the second profile 20 is moved away from the first profile 10 along the first direction to complete the removal of the two profiles.
[0093] It can be seen that this embodiment has basically the same structure, principle and usage as Embodiment 1, but the main differences between the two are: first, the first limit member 210 of this embodiment does not play the role of supporting the second limit member 220 when it is in limited cooperation with the second limit member 220; second, this embodiment adopts the second support member 240 to integrate the first limit member 210 and the first support member of Embodiment 1 to support the whole formed by the second limit member 220 and the operating member 230 under two different conditions.
[0094] Specifically, in this embodiment, the operating member 230 has a horizontal stopper, and the second support member 240 is fixed to the second profile 20 and is provided with a stopper surface suitable for cooperating with the stopper, so as to support the operating member 230 and fix the operating member 230 relative to the second profile 20 in the length direction. Since the first limit member 210 fails to support the second limit member 220 when it is in the locking position, the second support member 240 is used in this embodiment to achieve the corresponding support function. When the second limit member 220 slides to the locking position, the second support member 240 supports the whole body composed of the second limit member 220 and the operating member 230, thereby preventing it from sliding in the opposite direction relative to the first limit member 210 and leaving the locking position. In addition, when the two profiles are not connected, the whole formed by the second limit member 220 and the operating member 230 will not slide too much beyond the locking position due to the action of the second support member 240, thereby increasing the installation process and making installation difficult. The installer does not need to apply continuous force to the whole to keep it in a position suitable for actuation, thereby improving the efficiency of assembly and disassembly.
[0095] Therefore, in this embodiment, regardless of whether the profiles are connected or not, the second support member 240 can provide effective support for the operating member 230 and the second limiting member 220 to prevent the second limiting member 220 from sliding unnecessarily during assembly and disassembly, thereby achieving efficient and stable profile connection.
[0096] In an embodiment with inferior effect, the second support member 240 can also be fixedly connected to the first profile 10. It goes without saying that it can only support the whole formed by the second limit member 220 and the operating member 230 in the length direction when the profiles are connected. When the profiles are not connected, there is a defect that the whole formed by the second limit member 220 and the operating member 230 cannot be supported in the length direction. The second limit member 220 is easy to slide beyond the locking position, resulting in unnecessary installation steps and a certain degree of reduction in installation efficiency.
[0097] It should be understood that other specific structures of this embodiment can be configured accordingly with reference to Example 1, such as the limiting matching structure for realizing the first limiting member 210 and the second limiting member 220, the connection structure for realizing that the second limiting member 220 and the second profile 20 have sliding freedom only along the length direction, and the structure of the clearance hole and the clearance groove, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0098] In addition, it goes without saying that when the operating direction of the operating member 230 of this embodiment completely corresponds to the embodiment, the spiral direction of the spiral fit should be opposite to that of embodiment 1; naturally, the same spiral direction can also be adopted, and the corresponding operating direction completely opposite to that of embodiment 1 can be adopted.
[0099] Example 3
[0100] This embodiment provides a more specific and preferred embodiment of applying the present invention to a shower room scenario. Figure 5-20 Embodiment 3 provides a profile connection structure, which includes a first limit member 310, a second limit member 320, a first sliding fit seat 350, a third limit member 330, a fourth limit member 340, a second sliding fit seat 360 and an operating member 370.
[0101] It is worth noting that, as can be seen from the drawings, the first profile 10 and the second profile 20 corresponding to this embodiment are plugged together along the first direction to form a plug-in mating surface perpendicular to the second direction, so that the two can establish a limited mating relationship in the second direction through their own structure. In addition, since this embodiment is applied to a shower room scene, the first profile 10 and the second profile 20 are both arranged vertically.
[0102] Back to the connection structure of this embodiment, the first limiter 310 and the third limiter 330 are both locked to the two ends of the first profile 10 along the first direction by threaded fasteners. The first limiter 310 is provided with a tooth portion 311 on a surface perpendicular to the length direction, which includes a plurality of teeth arranged at intervals along the first direction. In addition, the first limiter 310 also has a clearance groove 312 opened in the first direction, and the opening is facing away from the first profile 10. In this embodiment, the first limiter 310 and the third limiter 330 are exactly the same in structure, except that they are mirror-symmetrical when installed on the first profile 10, so the specific structure of the third limiter 330 will not be repeated below.
[0103] The first sliding fitting seat 350 and the second sliding fitting seat 360 are also locked to the two ends of the second profile 20 along the first direction by threaded fasteners, which roughly correspond to the positions of the first limiter 310 and the third limiter 330 respectively. The first sliding fitting seat 350 includes a seat body 351 and a support plate 352 perpendicular to the seat body, the seat body 351 extends along the length direction, and the support plate 352 is perpendicular to the length direction. In this embodiment, the support plate 352 divides the seat body 351 into two parts in the length direction, one part of which is constructed as a dovetail groove extending along the length direction (not shown in the figure, its structure can refer to the dovetail groove 361 of the second sliding fitting seat 360), and the other part is used to be fastened with the second profile 20 by threaded fasteners. In addition, a clearance hole 353 is also provided on the support plate. In this embodiment, the first sliding fitting seat 350 and the second sliding fitting seat 360 are also identical in structure, except that they are mirror-symmetrical when installed on the second profile 20 , so the specific structure of the second sliding fitting seat 360 will not be described in detail below.
[0104] The second limiting member 320 and the fourth limiting member 340 are both slidably connected to the second profile 20, and when they slide to the first locking position and the second locking position, they are respectively limitedly matched with the first limiting member 310 and the third limiting member 330 in the first direction. In this embodiment, the second limiting member 320 and the fourth limiting member 340 have the same structure except for the part that matches with the operating member 370. Therefore, for the other parts, the second limiting member 320 will be used as an example for explanation below, and the fourth limiting member 340 will not be described in detail for the same structure as the operating member 370.
[0105] The second limiting member 320 is also provided with a tooth portion 321 on a surface thereof perpendicular to the length direction, and also includes a plurality of teeth spaced apart along the first direction, and the tooth portion is suitable for engaging with the tooth portion 311 of the first limiting member 310 when the second limiting member 320 slides to the first locking position, so as to realize the limiting matching relationship between the first limiting member 310 and the second limiting member 320 in the first direction. In addition, the second stopper 320 also has a dovetail slider 322, which slides with the dovetail slot of the first sliding seat 350 along the length direction, so that the second stopper 320 is slidably connected to the second profile 20 along the length direction, and the dovetail slider 322 is connected to the dovetail slot to prevent retreat, so that the second stopper 320 has only the freedom to slide along the length direction relative to the second profile 20, and is connected to the second profile 20 to prevent rotation, and is relatively fixed to the second profile 20 in the first direction, that is, the second stopper 320 is only slidably connected to the second profile 20 along the length direction, so that the corresponding function is realized while facilitating the manufacture of the second profile 20, otherwise the second profile 20 needs to be specially slotted, which will result in high cost and complicated process. Further, the second stopper 320 is provided with a threaded hole 323 in the first spiral direction, and the fourth stopper 340 is provided with a threaded hole 341 in the second spiral direction opposite to the first spiral direction.
[0106] The operating member 370 is rotatably connected to the second profile 20 and includes a first screw rod 371, a second screw rod 372 and a connecting rod 373 extending in the same direction and fixed to each other. The first screw rod 371 has an external thread adapted to the threaded hole 323 of the second stopper 320, and is screwed to the second stopper 320 along the first screw direction through the first screw rod 371; the second screw rod 372 has an external thread adapted to the threaded hole 341 of the fourth stopper 340, and is screwed to the fourth stopper 340 along the second screw direction through the second screw rod 372, so the screw directions of the first screw rod 371 and the second screw rod 372 are opposite. The two ends of the connecting rod 373 are detachably fixed to the first screw rod 371 and the second screw rod 372, respectively, to facilitate the assembly of the operating member 370 and prevent the three from being separated in their extending directions.
[0107] In the specific structure, the ends of the first screw rod 371 and the second screw rod 372 that cooperate with the connecting rod 373 are formed with a non-rotation structure, preferably with a rotation-stopping plane 3711 (3721), and the two ends of the connecting rod 373 are also formed with a correspondingly structured connecting socket 3731, so that the first screw rod 371 and the second screw rod 372 are inserted into the connecting rod 373 through the connecting socket 3731 to achieve a rotation-stopping connection with the connecting rod 373. In addition, the connecting rod 373 also has an abutting socket 3732 that communicates with the connecting socket, and by screwing a stud into the abutting socket 3732, the ends of the studs are abutted against the rotation-stopping planes 3711 (3721) of the first screw rod 371 and the second screw rod 372, so as to achieve the positioning of the two screw rods in their extending direction, thereby achieving the fixed connection of the first screw rod 371, the second screw rod 372 and the connecting rod 373.
[0108] Therefore, the operating member 370 can be assembled and connected to the second profile 20 in the following manner: the first screw rod 371 is passed upwardly through the threaded hole 323 of the second stopper 320 and the clearance hole 353 of the first sliding fitting seat 350 along the length direction; the second screw rod 372 is passed downwardly through the threaded hole 341 of the fourth stopper 340 and the clearance hole of the second sliding fitting seat 360 along the length direction; at this time, the connecting socket 3731 of the connecting rod 373 is respectively inserted into the corresponding ends of the two screw rods, and then the stud is locked in the abutting socket 3732, so that the operating member 370 can be assembled and the spiral axis of each screw rod extends along the length direction. It can be understood that the operating member 370 of the split structure is conducive to more convenient assembly and connection to the second profile 20 when there is only a narrow operating space in the length direction.
[0109] Based on the same principle as the above-mentioned embodiment, since the second limiting member 320 and the fourth limiting member 340 are respectively connected to the second profile 20 by the first sliding fitting seat 350 and the second sliding fitting seat 360, and the first screw rod 371 and the second screw rod 372 are integrally fixed, as long as one of the first screw rod 371 and the second screw rod 372 is operated, the operating member 370 can synchronously drive the second limiting member 320 and the fourth limiting member 340 to slide. More preferably, since the second limiting member 320 and the fourth limiting member 340 are screwed in opposite directions to the operating member 370, the operating member 370 can synchronously drive the second limiting member 320 and the fourth limiting member 340 to slide in opposite directions, so the second limiting member 320 and the fourth limiting member 340 can synchronously slide to the first locking position and the second locking position, or synchronously slide away from the first locking position and the second locking position. Therefore, the above configuration has the effect of quick assembly and disassembly, especially in the shower room scenario. Since the lower end of the profile usually needs to be in contact with the ground, the installer can rotate the operating member 370 at the upper end of the profile to operate the two sets of limit members.
[0110] Reference Fig.11 , 13 -18. The assembly and disassembly process of this embodiment is as follows: during installation, the operating member 370 is first rotated in the first circumferential direction to minimize the distance between the second limit member 320 and the fourth limit member 340, and then the second profile 20 is moved closer to the first profile 10 along the first direction, and the operating member 370 (the second screw 372) is rotated in the opposite direction of the first circumferential direction to make the second limit member 320 slide downward and the fourth limit member 340 slide upward. When they slide to the corresponding locking position, they respectively cooperate with the first limit member 310 and the third limit member 330 in the first direction to achieve the connection between the two profiles; during removal, the operating member 370 (the second screw 372) is rotated in the first circumferential direction to make the second limit member 320 slide upward and the fourth limit member 340 slide downward, so that the limit cooperation relationship with the first limit member 310 and the third limit member 330 is released respectively, and finally the second profile 20 is moved away from the first profile 10 along the first direction to complete the removal of the two profiles.
[0111] It goes without saying that the sliding strokes of the second limit member 320 and the fourth limit member 340 need to be configured so that the operating member 370 can drive them to slide to the corresponding locking positions at the same time, and avoid the situation where only one of the limit members reaches the locking position while the other limit member cannot reach it.
[0112] When the second limiter 320 and the fourth limiter 340 are both located at the corresponding locking positions, the first limiter 310 supports the second limiter 320, and the functional relationship thereof corresponds to the first limiter 110 and the second limiter 120 of Embodiment 1, and thus will not be described in detail. In addition, in this embodiment, since the profile is arranged vertically, although the third limiter 330 cannot prevent the fourth limiter 340 from being separated from its locking position, since the fourth limiter 340 and the second limiter 320 are both screw-matched with the operating member 370, when the operating member 370 is not actuated, they are fixed to each other in the length direction with the second limiter 320 and the operating member 370 and form a whole, and the first limiter 310 supports the whole, thereby preventing the second limiter 320 and the fourth limiter 340 from being separated from the corresponding locking positions.
[0113] In addition, since the spiral fit can generate a threaded preload, the second limit member 320 and the fourth limit member 340 are driven by the operating member 370 and are respectively continuously in contact with the first limit member 310 and the third limit member 330 along the length direction, and since their abutment directions are opposite, the whole they form has a tightening effect relative to the first limit member 310 and the third limit member 330, thereby being able to generate a certain friction force, making the limiting fit of each limit member in the first direction tighter.
[0114] Furthermore, since the abutting directions of the second limiter 320 and the fourth limiter 340 are opposite, the directions of their departure from the corresponding locking positions are also opposite, so that they can restrict each other from departing from the corresponding locking positions at the corresponding locking positions, forming an interlock. Therefore, when the whole formed by the second limiter 320, the fourth limiter 340 and the operating member 370 is disturbed by the outside world, due to the interlocking relationship, the second limiter 320 and the fourth limiter 340 will not depart from the corresponding locking position, so that the connection between the first profile 10 and the second profile 20 is more stable. Therefore, in special scenarios where the profiles are not arranged vertically, this embodiment is particularly suitable and has a relatively stable connection effect. For this reason, the support referred to in the embodiments of the present invention cannot be restrictively understood as support along the length direction, and should be broadly understood according to the specific application scenario.
[0115] When the second profile 20 is not connected to the first profile 10, the second sliding fitting seat 360 with the support plate supports the fourth limiter 340. Similarly, since the second limiter 320, the fourth limiter 340 and the operating member 370 are fixed to each other in the length direction and form a whole, the second sliding fitting seat 360 also supports the whole, thereby preventing the second limiter 320 and the fourth limiter 340 from sliding beyond the corresponding locking position. Therefore, the second sliding fitting seat 360 plays the supporting role of the first support member 140 in Example 1. Similarly, since the first sliding fitting seat 350 also has a support plate, in other special scenarios, it and the second sliding fitting seat 360 jointly limit the sliding stroke of the above-mentioned whole along the length direction, and also play an interlocking role.
[0116] It can be seen that the first limit member 310, the third limit member 330, the first sliding fit seat 350 and the second sliding fit seat 360 can respectively play a corresponding supporting role for the second limit member 320, the fourth limit member 340 and the operating member 370 when the two profiles are in different states.
[0117] It is worth noting that each embodiment of the present invention preferably adopts the tooth meshing method to realize the limiting cooperation of the limiting member in the first direction, and its advantages are: first, because the teeth of the tooth part are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the mutual spacing is small, so that when the assembly precision is not high, the teeth of the tooth part can still be adaptively meshed, the installation success rate is high, and the efficiency is correspondingly improved; second, when it is necessary to adjust the distance after the first profile 10 and the second profile 20 are connected, because the teeth of the tooth part are arranged at intervals along the first direction, when the two are at different distances, the first limiting member 310 and the second limiting member 320, the third limiting member 330 and the fourth limiting member 340 can still realize the limiting cooperation in the first direction. Therefore, the profile connection structure adopting the corresponding structure has an adjustment function, that is, the spacing and angle between the first profile 10 and the second profile 20 after they are connected along the first direction can be adjusted. This is especially applicable when two profiles need to be installed at an angle. For example, in a shower room, since the wall is not vertical, the angle between the two profiles needs to be adjusted during installation so that the profile carrying the shower glass is in a vertical state.
[0118] Reference Fig.12 , 19 -20, the adjustment and installation process of this embodiment is as follows: first fix the first profile 10 to the wall, then rotate the operating member 370 in the first circumferential direction to minimize the distance between the second limit member 320 and the fourth limit member 340, and then move the second profile 20 close to the first profile 10 along the first direction so that its two ends maintain a certain distance from the first profile 10 respectively, and ensure that the second profile 20 is in a vertical state. At this time, rotate the operating member 370 (second screw 372) in the opposite direction of the first circumferential direction to make the second limit member 320 slide downward and the fourth limit member 340 slide upward. When sliding to the corresponding locking position, they respectively cooperate with the first limit member 310 and the third limit member 330 in the first direction to achieve the connection between the two profiles.
[0119] It can be seen that due to the need for adjustment and installation, when the second profile 20 is not connected to the first profile 10, it is particularly important to control the sliding stroke of the second limit member 320 and the fourth limit member 340 in the length direction. This can prevent the second limit member 320 and the fourth limit member 340 from sliding unnecessarily when the limiting matching relationship of each limit member needs to be released during the adjustment process, thereby improving the efficiency of the adjustment and installation.
[0120] Preferably, in this embodiment, after the first profile 10 and the second profile 20 are connected, the operating member 370 slides into the clearance groove provided in the first limit member 310 and the third limit member 330 along the first direction, so that after the first profile 10 and the second profile 20 are connected, one end (or both ends) thereof can be in a closer state in the first direction, thereby increasing the adjustment range of the above-mentioned adjustment process.
[0121] Furthermore, the operating member 370 of this embodiment also includes an operating nut 374, which is used to screw with the first screw rod 371 or the second screw rod 372, and has two markings corresponding to the rotation direction and the sliding direction of the limit member, so that the installer can directly operate it.
[0122] Example 4
[0123] Reference Figure 21-26 On the basis of Embodiment 3, the present invention further provides a shower room, which includes: a first profile 10, a second profile 20, a third profile 30, a fourth profile 40, a fifth profile 50, a sixth profile 60, a first shower glass 70 and a second shower glass 80. In this embodiment, the first shower glass 70 and the second shower glass 80 are arranged vertically.
[0124] Reference Fig.21 The first profile 10 is fixed to the wall, and the second profile 20 is connected to the first profile 10 through the profile connection structure of Example 3. The first shower glass 70 is installed on the second profile 20.
[0125] Reference Figure 22-24 , the third profile 30 is fixed to the wall, and the fourth profile 40 includes a profile fixing portion 41 and a profile rotating portion 42 which are hinged to each other. The profile fixing portion 41 is connected to the third profile 30 through the profile connecting structure of Example 3, and the second shower glass 80 is installed on the profile rotating portion 42 to achieve its rotation relative to the wall. Since the profile connecting structure of the third profile 30 and the fourth profile 40 is substantially the same as the profile connecting structure of the first profile 10 and the second profile 20 in terms of components and working principles, only the shape and appearance are slightly different, so it will not be described in detail.
[0126] Reference Figure 25-26 , the fifth profile 50 is fixedly connected to the end of the first shower glass 70 away from the second profile, and the sixth profile 60 is connected to the fifth profile 50 through the profile connection structure of Example 3, and cooperates with the end of the second shower glass 80 away from the fourth profile 40. Since the profile connection structure of the fifth profile 50 and the sixth profile 60 is substantially the same as the components and working principles of the profile connection structure of the first profile 10 and the second profile 20, but the shape and appearance are slightly different, they will not be described in detail. In addition, in this embodiment, a metal strip is provided at the end of the second shower glass 80 away from the fourth profile 40, and a magnetic strip is provided at the position where the sixth profile 60 cooperates with the second shower glass 80, so that the two can be magnetically attracted to cooperate when they are close to each other, thereby improving the user experience of the shower room.
[0127] Since the shower room of this embodiment applies the profile connection structure of the aforementioned embodiment, it inherits all the advantages of the profile connection structure and has the characteristics of complete product appearance, convenient installation and easy adjustment.
