[0046] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0047] This embodiment 1 is referred to. Figures 1-9 As shown, a pocket door track structure is disclosed, including an upper track 1 and a mounting rod 2; the top end of the mounting rod 2 is rotatably connected to the upper track 1, the mounting rod 2 has a rod mounting groove 21, a first hinge seat 3 is provided in the rod mounting groove 21 at the top of the mounting rod 2, the first hinge seat 3 is hinged to a second hinge block 4, the second hinge block 4 is provided in the upper track 1, the first hinge seat 3 is installed in the rod mounting groove 21 by a fixing member, and the second hinge block 4 is installed in the upper slide rail by a fixing member, thus completing the installation and fixing effect of the first hinge seat 3 and the second hinge block 4.

[0048] Specifically, the first hinge base 3 includes a hinge base fixing hole 31 and a hinge base hinge component 32. A fixing component passes through the hinge base fixing hole 31. The fixing component includes, but is not limited to, screws and bolts. The second hinge block includes a hinge block fixing hole 41 and a hinge block hinge component 42. A fixing component passes through the hinge block fixing hole 41. The fixing component includes, but is not limited to, screws and bolts. The hinge block hinge component 42 and the hinge base hinge component 32 are hinged by a rod-shaped object. The rod-shaped object is not specifically limited.

[0049] The mounting pole 2 has a height adjustment device 5 installed in the mounting groove 21 at its bottom. The height adjustment device 5 includes a first height adjustment component 51 and an adjustment seat 52. The first height adjustment component 51 is rotatably connected to the adjustment seat 52. By rotating the first height adjustment component 51, its height within the adjustment seat 52 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the mounting pole 2. The mounting pole 2 can be rotated to be parallel to the upper rail 1 for easy storage during transport. When the upper rail 1 needs to be assembled, the mounting pole 2 is perpendicular to the upper rail 1 for quick assembly and fixation.

[0050] Specifically, the adjusting seat 52 includes a plug-in part 521 and an adjusting part 522. The plug-in part 521 is plugged into the rod mounting groove 21 of the mounting pole 2. The cross-sectional area of ​​the plug-in part 521 is smaller than that of the rod mounting groove 21, which facilitates plugging. After plugging, the rod mounting groove 21 is flush with the surface of the adjusting seat 52. The adjusting seat 52 is also provided with a fixing hole. The adjusting seat 52 can be fixed to the inside of the rod mounting groove 21 by passing screws through the fixing hole. The adjusting part 522 is recessed to form an adjusting groove. The adjusting groove is provided with an internal thread. The first height adjusting member 51 is provided with an external thread for threading into the adjusting groove and connecting with the internal thread. The position of the first height adjusting member 51 is controlled by rotating it from the outside, thereby changing the height of the mounting pole 2 and achieving the adjustment effect.

[0051] As a variation of Embodiment 1 of the present invention, refer to Figure 9 As shown, a nut 523 can be fixed in the adjustment groove. The through hole of the nut 523 is aligned with the adjustment groove so that the external thread of the first height adjustment component 51 engages with the internal thread of the nut 523. This allows the first height adjustment component 51 to pass through the nut 523 and be threadedly connected to it. By threading the first height adjustment component 51 through the nut 523, the height of the first height adjustment component 51 can be adjusted and changed.

[0052] The working principle and steps of this embodiment 1 are as follows:

[0053] By manually adjusting the first height adjustment component 51 in the height adjustment device 5 from the outside, the first height adjustment component 51 rotates itself, and its external thread drives the adjustment seat 52 to rise and fall, thereby changing the height of the mounting pole 2. When the upper track 1 is assembled, the upper track 1 is installed on the upper door frame 10, and a part of the upper track 1 is inserted into the pocket door 9. The first hinge seat 3 is fixed to the top of the mounting pole 2, and the second hinge block 4 is fixed in the slide rail inside the upper track 1 to achieve the hinge between the two, so that the end of the upper track 1 located inside the pocket door 9 is fixed. Then, the first height adjustment component 51 is manually adjusted to raise the mounting pole 2 so that the upper track 1 is pushed into the upper door frame 10 of the pocket door 9 to be hidden and fixed, thus completing the fixing and assembly of the upper track 1.

[0054] Based on Example 1, Example 2 adds a positioning rod 6. Specifically, the side of the height adjustment device 5 is provided with a shaft fixing member 7, and one end of the positioning rod 6 is provided with a mounting hole 61. The shaft fixing member 7 passes through the mounting hole 61. By setting the shaft fixing member 7, it can be used to fix external accessories of the mounting pole 2.

[0055] In this embodiment 2, the shaft fixing member 7 is connected to the height adjustment device 5. The shaft fixing member 7 is connected to a positioning rod 6. The positioning rod 6 is centered on the shaft fixing member 7. When the positioning rod 6 moves horizontally, it changes the inclination and position of the mounting pole 2, thereby changing the height of the mounting pole 2. By changing the position of the positioning rod 6, the inclination angle of the mounting pole 2 can be adjusted, and the height of the mounting pole 2 can be changed so that the mounting pole 2 can assemble and fix the upper rail 1.

[0056] See Figure 9 The positioning rod 6 is also provided with a positioning component 8 at its end. The positioning component 8 is provided with a screw hole 81. The positioning rod 6 can be fixed to the door frame 10 of the pocket door 9 by passing a screw through it. By fixing the positioning rod 6, the mounting pole 2 can be fixed, thereby achieving the fixed effect after the height of the mounting pole 2 is adjusted.

[0057] The working principle and steps of this embodiment 2 are as follows:

[0058] The height of the mounting pole 2 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the positioning rod 6. The specific steps are as follows: When the upper track 1 needs to be assembled, the first hinge seat 3 is fixed to the top of the mounting pole 2, and the second hinge block 4 is fixed to the slide rail in the upper track 1 inserted into one end of the door frame 10 to achieve the hinge between the two. Then, the positioning rod 6 is hinged to the bottom of the mounting pole 2. Then, one end of the upper track 1 is inserted into the door frame 10, ensuring that the inserted end is hinged to the mounting pole 2. The mounting pole 2 is pushed into the door frame 10 on the side of the pocket door 9 by the positioning rod 6, so that the mounting pole 2 can push the upper track 1 into and assemble it into the door frame 10 above the pocket door 9 and fix it. When the mounting pole 2 is pushed to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the position of the upper track 1 is the highest. The height of the mounting pole 2 is adjusted according to the height of the pocket door 9. The height of the upper track 1 can be determined by adjusting the position of the mounting pole 2. When the two are adjusted to the same height, the end of the positioning rod 6 is fixed by the positioning piece 8, thereby stabilizing the inclination of the mounting pole 2, so that the upper track 1 is effectively fixed and assembled.

[0059] This embodiment 3 modifies the structure of the height adjustment device 5 based on embodiment 1. The height adjustment device 5 is equipped with an operating part, which in this embodiment 3 is a worm gear structure. Due to the presence of the worm gear, the mounting pole 2 cannot be folded, and the mounting pole 2 always remains vertical. The height of the mounting pole 2 is adjusted by operating the worm gear structure through an external rod. This achieves the effect of installing and fixing the upper track 1.

[0060] The working principle and steps of this embodiment 3 are as follows:

[0061] The height of the mounting pole 2 can be adjusted by rotating the worm gear structure through an external rod. The specific steps are as follows: When it is necessary to lower the height of the mounting pole 2, the worm gear structure can be rotated through the external rod. At this time, the worm gear structure rotates and extends, increasing the overall height of the mounting pole 2, thus raising the mounting pole 2 and effectively pushing the upper rail 1 into the upper door frame 10 of the pocket door 9 for fixing and assembly. When it is necessary to lower the height of the mounting pole 2, the worm gear structure can be rotated in the opposite direction. At this time, the worm gear structure rotates and retracts into the mounting pole 2, lowering the overall height of the mounting pole 2, thus lowering the mounting pole 2. After lowering, the upper rail 1 can be disassembled from the upper door frame 10 of the pocket door 9, thus achieving the disassembly of the upper rail 1.

[0062] The present invention also relates to a pocket door 9, comprising a door body, a door frame 10 and a pocket door track structure, wherein the pocket door track structure is installed inside the door frame 10, and the door body is slidably disposed in the upper track 1 of the pocket door track structure, thereby achieving a quick assembly effect and convenient disassembly.

[0063] In summary, the pocket door track structure and pocket door 9 provided by the present invention have the following technical effects:

[0064] 1. By setting the mounting pole 2, the installation convenience of the upper track 1 is improved, and the upper track 1 can be fixed. This avoids the problem of unstable assembly caused by the upper track 1 inside the door frame 10 not being able to be fixed with screws. In addition, the mounting pole 2 can be folded and stored for easy transportation.

[0065] 2. By adding a height adjustment device 5 to the bottom of the mounting pole 2, the ease of installation and disassembly of the upper track 1 of the pocket door 9 is improved;

[0066] 3. By manually adjusting the first height adjustment component 51, the mounting pole 2 can be raised or lowered to adapt to doors of different heights while assembling the upper track 1;

[0067] 4. By adding a positioning rod 6, the mounting rod 2 can be folded inward into the door frame 10, thereby adjusting its own height and facilitating the assembly of the upper track 1;

[0068] 5. By adding a worm gear structure, the height of the mounting pole 2 can be adjusted, making the adjustment more convenient.

[0069] The technical means disclosed in this invention are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this invention, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this invention.
