The use of "first" and "second" in the description is solely for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, implicitly specifying the number of the indicated technical features, or implicitly specifying the order of the indicated technical features.

[0056] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0057] In the description of the application, the description of the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "exemplary embodiment", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the application. In this specification, the exemplary description of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0058] The shower door hinge assembly is usually connected between the guide rail and the movable door when applied to the shower room door, realizing the rotational connection of the movable door and the guide rail, so that the movable door can be opened or closed; in order to facilitate the later maintenance of the shower room door, the components in the shower door hinge assembly are connected in a detachable manner. Due to the frequent rotation of the movable door relative to the guide rail, the components cooperating with each other in the shower door hinge assembly produce gaps due to wear, loose connection and other reasons, resulting in the occurrence of jerk and poor rotation of the movable door during rotation.

[0059] Based on the above, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment of the application, a shower door hinge assembly 100 (hereinafter referred to as a hinge assembly) is provided, which comprises a first hinge shaft 110, a first joint 120, a second joint 130 and an adjusting piece 140. The first hinge shaft 110 is used for rotational connection with a guide rail. One side of the first joint 120 is connected to the first hinge shaft 110, and the opposite side is provided with a first mounting wall 121 and a second mounting wall 122 arranged oppositely. The first mounting wall 121 and the second mounting wall 122 are both inclined, and the distance between them gradually decreases in the direction towards the first hinge shaft 110. The second joint 130 comprises a plug-in part 131 and a mounting part 132. The plug-in part 131 is plugged between the first mounting wall 121 and the second mounting wall 122, and the two opposite surfaces of the plug-in part 131 abut against the first mounting wall 121 and the second mounting wall 122 respectively. Therefore, the two surfaces of the plug-in part 131 are also inclined and have the same change trend as the first mounting wall 121 and the second mounting wall 122. The mounting part 132 can be plugged into a cross beam 500 of a movable door 400. Thus, the first hinge shaft 110, the first joint 120 and the second joint 130 are connected in sequence and located between the guide rail and the cross beam of the movable door 400, realizing the rotational connection of the movable door 400 and the guide rail.

[0060] In the embodiment, the hinge assembly 100 further comprises an adjusting piece 140. The adjusting piece 140 is connected to the mounting part 132 and can abut against the cross beam. The adjusting piece 140 can move, and when the adjusting piece 140 moves, the plug-in part 131 can move in the plug-in direction of the first joint 120. Specifically, with reference to Figure 3The moving direction of the adjusting member 140 is parallel to the inserting direction of the inserting part 131 and the first joint 120. When the adjusting member 140 abuts against the crossbeam of the movable door 400, the inserting part 131 moves synchronously with the mounting part 132 when the adjusting member 140 drives the mounting part 132 to move. If the adjusting member 140 drives the inserting part 131 to move towards the first joint 120, the inserting depth of the inserting part 131 between the first mounting wall 121 and the second mounting wall 122 increases, and the distance between the first mounting wall 121 and the second mounting wall 122 decreases with the increase of the inserting depth of the inserting part 131. Thus, when the inserting depth of the inserting part 131 increases, the first mounting wall 121 and the surface of the inserting part 131, and the second mounting wall 122 and the surface of the inserting part 131 have a mutual approaching tendency, which can improve the tightness of the connection between the first joint 120 and the second joint 130, and eliminate the gap therebetween.

[0061] Thus, when the gap between the components in the rotating shaft assembly 100 causes the movable door 400 to rotate with jerk, by adjusting the adjusting member 140 to increase the inserting depth of the inserting part 131 between the first mounting wall 121 and the second mounting wall 122, the first mounting wall 121 and the inserting part 131, and the second mounting wall 122 and the inserting part 131 are in close contact, which can eliminate the gap between the first joint 120 and the second joint 130, reduce the transmission jerk of the rotating shaft assembly 100, and improve the smoothness of the rotation of the movable door 400.

[0062] It can be understood that the movable door 400 directly drives the second joint 130 to rotate when rotating. Since the first mounting wall 121 and the inserting part 131, and the second mounting wall 122 and the inserting part 131 are in close contact, the power transmission efficiency of the second joint 130 to the first joint 120 is high, which enables the first rotating shaft 110 to quickly respond and rotate relative to the guide rail, and the rotation of the movable door 400 relative to the guide rail is smoother.

[0063] In addition, the inclination range of the two opposite surfaces of the inserting part 131 can be set to be greater than the inclination range of the first mounting wall 121 and the second mounting wall 122, so as to improve the fitting degree between the first mounting wall 121, the second mounting wall 122 and the inserting part 131 during the movement of the inserting part 131 towards the first rotating shaft 110, and make the connection between the first joint 120 and the second joint 130 more tight.

[0064] It should be noted that the above description is only a specific implementation of the present application. Figure 1 The present application can be applied to Figure 2The adjusting member 140 is inserted into the mounting portion 132 and drives the mounting portion 132 to move. The moving direction of the adjusting member 140 and the inserting direction of the inserting portion 131 to the first connector 120 are the same, and the adjusting member 140 can drive the inserting portion 131 to move synchronously when the adjusting member 140 moves. In other embodiments, the adjusting member 140 drives the inserting portion 131 to move in other forms of motion. For example, the adjusting member 140 is a screw, and the mounting portion 132 is provided with a threaded hole. The adjusting member 140 is screwed into the threaded hole of the mounting portion 132, and the adjusting member 140 drives the mounting portion 132 to move when the adjusting member 140 is screwed. The adjusting member 140 is screwed into the threaded hole of the mounting portion 132, and the adjusting member 140 drives the mounting portion 132 to move when the adjusting member 140 is screwed. The adjusting member 140 is screwed into the threaded hole of the mounting portion 132, and the adjusting member 140 drives the mounting portion 132 to move when the adjusting member 140 is screwed. Figure 4 The shaft assembly 100 includes a wedge block 150 located on the side of the mounting portion 132 away from the inserting portion 131 and abutting against the mounting portion 132. The wedge block 150 and the mounting portion 132 have matching inclined surfaces. The adjusting member 140 is inserted between the cross beam 500 and the wedge block 150, and the inserting direction is perpendicular to the inserting direction of the inserting portion 131 to the first connector 120. When the inserting depth of the adjusting member 140 to the wedge block 150 increases, the wedge block 150 drives the mounting portion 132 and the inserting portion 131 to move towards the first connector 120. The inserting depth of the inserting portion 131 to the first connector 120 increases, thereby eliminating the matching gap between the first connector 120 and the second connector 130 and improving the connection tightness of the first connector 120 and the second connector 130.

[0065] Further, in the above embodiments, the cross beam 500 is provided with a through hole for the adjusting member 140 to be inserted into. The adjusting member 140 is screwed into the through hole, and one end of the adjusting member 140 abuts against the wedge block 150, and the other end of the adjusting member 140 is exposed. When the inserting depth of the inserting portion 131 needs to be adjusted, a tool is used to screw the adjusting member 140, so that the adjusting member 140 pushes the wedge block 150 to move relative to the mounting portion 132, thereby achieving the effect of moving the inserting portion 131 relative to the first connector 120. In addition, one end of the adjusting member 140 is exposed on the side of the cross beam 500 and is not blocked by other parts of the shower room door. External tools can directly operate the adjusting member 140, and the maintenance convenience of the shaft assembly 100 is high.

[0066] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 For embodiments in which the moving direction of the adjusting member 140 is the same as the inserting direction of the inserting portion 131 to the first connector 120, the adjusting member 140 is also screwed into the mounting portion 132. The mounting portion 132 is provided with a through hole penetrating along the inserting direction of the inserting portion 131. The adjusting member 140 is screwed into the through hole, and one end of the adjusting member 140 abuts against the cross beam 500, and the other end of the adjusting member 140 is exposed, which is convenient for external tools to operate the adjusting member 140.

[0067] Further, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5The first mounting wall 121 has a first limiting groove 1211 disposed toward the second mounting wall 122, and the second mounting wall 122 has a second limiting groove 1221 disposed toward the first mounting wall 121. Part of the plug-in portion 131 is accommodated in the first limiting groove 1211 and the second limiting groove 1221. The plug-in portion 131 abuts against two opposite groove walls of the first limiting groove 1211 and two opposite groove walls of the second limiting groove 1221. Thus, the plug-in portion 131 is perpendicular to the plug-in portion 131 and the first connector 1. The upper limit of the plug-in direction of 20 is located in the first limiting groove 1211 and the second limiting groove 1221. The first limiting groove 1211 and the second limiting groove 1221 guide the movement of the plug-in part 131, so that the plug-in part 131 can always move along the extension direction of the first rotating shaft 110, thereby avoiding the plug-in part 131 from slipping relative to the first connector 120 in the direction perpendicular to the movement of the plug-in part 131 during the movement relative to the first connector 120, thereby improving the matching stability of the first connector 120 and the second connector 130.

[0068] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rotating shaft assembly 100 also includes a locking member 160, which is inserted into the first mounting wall 121 and the second mounting wall 122 along the arrangement direction of the first mounting wall 121 and the second mounting wall 122, and the end of the locking member 160 abuts against the plug-in portion 131; the locking member 160 presses against the plug-in portion 131, so that the plug-in portion 131 is stably inserted between the first mounting wall 121 and the second mounting wall 122, preventing the plug-in portion 131 from detaching from the gap between the first mounting wall 121 and the second mounting wall 122, thereby ensuring that the movable door 400 is stably connected to the guide rail.

[0069] At least two locking members 160 are provided, and the two locking members 160 are disposed on opposite sides of the plug-in portion 131, and jointly clamp the plug-in portion 131. The plug-in portion 131 is clamped by the clamping force of the locking members 160, and stably cooperates with the first mounting wall 121 and the second mounting wall 122. Furthermore, the first mounting wall 121 and the second mounting wall 122 are provided with through holes for the locking members 160 to pass through. The locking members 160 are disposed within these through holes and are threadedly connected to the first mounting wall 121 and the second mounting wall 122. By twisting the locking members 160, the locking members 160 can be moved relative to the plug-in portion 131, thereby adjusting the clamping force of the locking members 160 on the plug-in portion 131 and ensuring that the locking members 160 effectively clamp the plug-in portion 131.

[0070] In addition, the surface of the plug-in part 131 towards the first mounting wall 121 and the surface of the plug-in part 131 towards the second mounting wall 122 are provided with an abutting surface 1311, the locking piece 160 abuts against the abutting surface 1311, and the abutting surface 1311 is perpendicular to the plug-in direction of the locking piece 160; thus, the end surface of the locking piece 160 can stably contact the abutting surface 1311, the contact area of the locking piece 160 and the plug-in part 131 is increased, and the plug-in part 131 is effectively clamped by the locking piece 160. Further, the plug-in part 131 is provided with grooves on two opposite sides, the groove walls of the grooves form the abutting surface 1311, the locking piece 160 is inserted into the grooves and abuts against the abutting surface 1311; and the two opposite groove walls of the grooves in the direction perpendicular to the plug-in direction of the plug-in part 131 and the first connector 120 cooperate with the outer circumferential surface of the locking piece 160, which can assist the first limiting groove 1211 and the second limiting groove 1221 to guide the movement of the plug-in part 131, so as to further improve the stability of the movement of the plug-in part 131.

[0071] The application further provides a shower door, referring to Figures 6 to 8 The shower door comprises the above-mentioned rotating shaft assembly 100, further comprises a first guide rail 200, a second guide rail 300, a movable door 400, a first cross beam 500 and a second cross beam 600, the first guide rail 200 is located above the second guide rail 300, the movable door 400 is located between the first guide rail 200 and the second guide rail 300, the first cross beam 500 is connected to the upper end of the movable door 400 and is rotatably connected to the first guide rail 200 through the rotating shaft assembly 100, and the second cross beam 600 is connected to the lower end of the movable door 400 and is rotatably connected to the second guide rail 300; thus, the upper end of the movable door 400 is rotatably connected to the first guide rail 200, and the lower end of the movable door 400 is rotatably connected to the second guide rail 300, the upper end and the lower end of the movable door 400 are both guided to rotate, and the rotation of the movable door 400 is more stable.
