Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention. Example

[0018] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a profile corner connection structure includes a connecting component 1, a first profile 2, and a second profile 3.

[0019] like Figures 5-7As shown, the connecting component 1 includes a main body 14 and two sets of connecting units 11. The main body 14 is provided with a sliding groove 144. Specifically, one end of the sliding groove 144 is provided with a plug-in interface, and the other end is the bottom end. The plug-in interface is provided with a cover plate 12.

[0020] like Figures 5-7 As shown, the connecting unit 11 includes a fixed connector 111 and a movable connector 112. The fixed connector 111 is fixedly connected to the main body 14. Preferably, the fixed connector 111 and the main body 14 are integrally formed. The movable connector 112 is slidably connected to the main body 14 via a sliding groove 144, and an elastic element 15 is provided between the movable connector 112 and the main body 14. The elastic element 15 is disposed between the bottom end of the movable connector 112 and the sliding groove 144.

[0021] like Figures 5-7 As shown, fixed connectors 111 and movable connectors 112 within the same group of connecting units 11 are arranged in parallel, with the corresponding fixed connectors 111 between the two groups of connecting units 11 arranged perpendicularly or at an angle. The fixed connector 111 includes a fixed insertion portion, and the movable connector 112 includes a movable insertion portion 1121. Specifically, each movable connector 112 includes two movable insertion portions 1121, which are arranged in parallel, and each of the two movable insertion portions 1121 is provided with a locking element.

[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, the first profile 2 is provided with a first fixed mounting groove 21 and a first movable mounting groove 22, and the second profile 3 is provided with a second fixed mounting groove and a second movable mounting groove.

[0023] During connection, the fixed plug part of one set of connection units 11 is inserted into the first fixed mounting slot 21, and the movable plug part 1121 is inserted into the first movable mounting slot 22. The fixed plug part of the other set of connection units 11 is inserted into the second fixed mounting slot, and the movable plug part 1121 is inserted into the second movable mounting slot.

[0024] like Figure 10 As shown, the movable connector 1121 is provided with a locking element. Specifically, the locking element is a locking protrusion 1122 provided on the side of the movable connector 1121, and the protruding direction of the locking protrusion 1122 is consistent with the sliding direction of the movable connector 112 relative to the main body 14. Figure 4As shown, the side walls of the first movable mounting slot 22 and the second movable mounting slot are respectively provided with locking slots 23. In the connected state, the locking protrusion 1122 cooperates with the locking slot 23. The locking element is located on the side of the movable connector 112 corresponding to the insertion interface. Since the locking block, insertion interface, and cover plate are located on the same side, it is convenient to conceal the locking block, insertion interface, and cover plate simultaneously under actual use conditions, resulting in better overall aesthetics.

[0025] The fixed connector 111 mates with its corresponding fixed mounting slot, providing primary load-bearing and positioning functions. The movable connector 112 mates with its corresponding movable mounting slot, providing locking and also serving as an auxiliary load-bearing and positioning component, ensuring a stable and reliable connection. During installation, the connecting component 1 is first assembled, and then connected as a single unit to the first profile 2 and the second profile 3, without requiring any parts of the connecting component 1 to be initially connected to the corresponding profiles, simplifying the assembly process. For disassembly, simply pushing the movable connector 112 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 15 unlocks the locking element, separating the connecting component 1 from the corresponding profile, making disassembly also convenient.

[0026] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, specifically, the bottom end of the slide 144 is provided with a positioning pin 141, the movable connecting member 112 is provided with a receiving hole, the elastic member 15 is a spring sleeved on the positioning pin 141, and the positioning pin 141 is partially or completely inserted into the receiving hole.

[0027] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, specifically, the end of the main body 14 corresponding to the insertion interface is provided with a lateral mounting groove 143, which is perpendicular to the sliding groove 144; the cover plate 12 is slidably connected to the main body 14 through the lateral mounting groove 143. The cover plate 12 can restrict the movement of the movable connector 112.

[0028] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a positioning component is also provided between the cover plate 12 and the lateral mounting groove 143. The positioning component includes a positioning protrusion and a positioning recess 142. One of the positioning protrusion and the positioning recess 142 is provided on the cover plate 12, and the other is provided on the groove wall of the lateral mounting groove 143. This ensures reliable positioning and stable fit between the cover plate 12 and the main body 14.

[0029] As a specific implementation method, such as Figure 9As shown, the cross-section of the slide groove 144 is asymmetrical, specifically, the cross-section of the slide groove 144 is a right-angled trapezoid. Because the locking structure of the locking member and the elastic member 15 restricts the installation direction of the movable connecting member 112, setting the cross-section of the slide groove 144 as asymmetrical, and setting the corresponding part of the movable connecting member 112 to match the shape of the slide groove 144, can effectively avoid incorrect installation direction of the movable connecting member 112.

[0030] Meanwhile, the angle between the inclined side and the bottom edge of the two slide grooves 144 is set to half of the angle between the two connecting components 1. That is, when the two connecting components 1 are set perpendicularly to each other, the inclined side of the slide groove 144 is set to form a 45° angle with the bottom edge, and the inclined sides of the two slide grooves 144 are set parallel to each other. This can make full use of the limited space inside the main body 14 and arrange the slide grooves 144 in a reasonable manner.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the device includes a decorative cover 13, which has a cavity corresponding to the main body 14, and a channel on its side corresponding to the connecting component 1. The decorative cover 13 is snapped into the main body 14.

[0032] A shower enclosure includes a front chamber, a side chamber, and a top mounting bracket, wherein the front chamber and the side chamber are arranged at an angle or perpendicular to each other; wherein the top mounting bracket includes a profile corner connection structure as described above, wherein a first profile 2 is connected to the front chamber and a second profile 3 is connected to the side chamber.

[0033] A shower enclosure includes two door panels and a top mounting bracket. The two door panels are arranged at an angle or perpendicular to each other when closed. The top mounting bracket includes a profile corner connection structure as described above, where one door panel corresponds to a first profile 2 and the other door panel corresponds to a second profile 3. Specifically, the door panels are sliding doors or hinged doors.

[0034] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
