[0040] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Example

[0042] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this embodiment provides a quick-assembly adjustable support structure, including:

[0044] The main support plate 11 is formed by splicing together multiple sub-support plates 12 along its length, and the shower tray 10 is placed on the main support plate 11.

[0045] Support holes 13, a plurality of the support holes 13 are distributed on the main support plate 11;

[0046] Support component 14 is mounted on the main support plate 11 at the end away from the shower basin 10, and a positioning block 15 for limiting the support component 14 is installed on the inner wall of the support hole 13.

[0047] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0048] This invention discloses a quick-assembly adjustable support structure. The main support plate 11 is formed by splicing multiple sub-support plates 12 along its length. Each sub-support plate 12 has a support component 14 installed on its back through support holes 13. A shower tray 10 is placed on the main support plate 11. The number of sub-support plates 12 can be selected and spliced ​​according to different sizes and specifications of the shower tray 10. Positioning blocks 15 are provided in the support holes to limit the support component 14, ensuring the upper part of the support component 14 is fixed. This invention provides a quick-assembly adjustable support structure. When the level of the main support plate 11 needs to be adjusted according to the site environment, the length of the support component 14 is adjusted by rotating the support component 14 through the support holes 13, thereby achieving support adjustment between the main support plate 11 and the ground. The advantage of this invention is that adjustment from the bottom is not required. The support holes 13 are opened on the front of the main support plate 11, allowing the height of the support component 14 to be adjusted from the front of the main support plate 11. Several support holes 13 are distributed on the main support plate 11, allowing the number of support components 14 to be matched according to the specific usage environment.

[0049] In one embodiment, a splicing slot 16 is installed at one end of the sub-support plate 12 in the width direction, and a strip splicing block adapted to the splicing slot 16 is installed at the end of the sub-support plate 12 away from the shower basin 10, and the strip splicing block is set near the other end of the sub-support plate 12 in the width direction.

[0050] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0051] The main support plate 11 is formed by splicing multiple sub-support plates 12 along its length. One end of the sub-support plate 12 in the width direction is equipped with a splicing slot 16, and the end of the sub-support plate 12 away from the shower basin 10 is equipped with a strip splicing block that matches the splicing slot 16. In this way, the splicing and fixing of adjacent sub-support plates 12 can be achieved.

[0052] In one embodiment, two adjacent side ends of the main support plate 11 are fitted with skirts 18, and the ends of the skirts 18 away from the main support plate 11 are supported on the end of the support assembly 14 away from the main support plate 11.

[0053] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0054] The support mechanism is also equipped with a skirt 18. Because the actual house structure has a symmetrical structure, skirt mounting slots are opened on the short side of the main support plate 11 to ensure that the skirt 18 can be installed on both sides, thus saving mold development costs. The lower part of the skirt 18 is positioned by the bottom of the support component 14 to prevent people from kicking the skirt 18 over during use. The skirt 18 is fixed to the short side of the main support plate 11 with structural adhesive.

[0055] In one embodiment, the skirt 18 is fixed to the main support plate 11 by structural adhesive, and the shower tray 10 is fixed to the main support plate 11 by structural adhesive.

[0056] In one embodiment, the support structure is made of SMC material.

[0057] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0058] The support structure is made of SMC material, which is high in strength, lightweight, and has good corrosion resistance.

[0059] In one example, the support component 14 includes:

[0060] The upper screw sleeve 21 has a slot 36 at its top end that is adapted to the positioning block 15;

[0061] Upper support plate 22 is integrally installed on the side end of the upper screw sleeve 21, and upper support plate 22 is supported and connected to the end of the main support plate 11 away from the shower basin 10.

[0062] The lower support rod 23 has an adjusting screw 24 installed at one end, and the upper screw sleeve 21 is sleeved on the adjusting screw 24. The other end of the lower support rod 23 is equipped with a support base 25, and the skirt 18 is located on the side of the support base 25 away from the main support plate 11.

[0063] A straight adjustment groove 26 is provided at the end of the adjusting screw 24 away from the lower support rod 23, and the straight adjustment groove 26 is set directly opposite the support hole 13.

[0064] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0065] The main support plate 11 has support holes 13, and positioning blocks 15 are installed on the inner wall of the support holes 13. After the main support plate 11 is assembled, the top of the upper screw sleeve 21 is inserted into the support hole 13 from the back of the main support plate 11. Note that the slot 36 is inserted into the positioning block 15 to ensure that the upper screw sleeve 21 is fixed to the main support plate 11. At this time, the back of the main support plate 11 is placed on the upper support plate 22. Next, a specific tool is inserted into the slot 26. After manually rotating the tool, the adjusting screw 24 rotates within the upper sleeve 21. The adjusting screw 24 and the upper sleeve 21 are threaded together. Due to the positioning block 15 and the slot 36, the upper sleeve 21 is fixed to the back of the main support plate 11 and cannot rotate. After the adjusting screw 24 rotates, it causes the lower support rod 23 connected to the adjusting screw 24 to sink, thereby causing the support chassis 25 connected to the lower support rod 23 to sink. In this way, the height of the support chassis 25 can be adjusted according to the site environment to ensure that the support chassis 25 is against the ground, thereby achieving the horizontal adjustment of the main support plate 11.

[0066] In one embodiment, the support hole 13 is adapted to a round plug 19, the round plug 19 has a round hole, the straight adjustment groove 26 is adapted to an adjustment wrench 27, and the adjustment wrench 27 is equipped with a lever 28 adapted to the round hole.

[0067] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0068] The round plug 19 is designed to facilitate the sealing of the support hole 13 after the main support plate 11 is horizontally adjusted. The support mechanism is also equipped with an adjusting wrench 27 as a specific tool. The adjusting wrench 27 is adapted to the slotted adjusting groove 26, which facilitates the rotation adjustment of the adjusting screw 24. The adjusting wrench 27 is equipped with a lever 28. After inserting the lever 28 into the round hole, the round plug 19 can be turned.

[0069] In one embodiment, the support component 14 further includes:

[0070] Adsorption chamber 29, which is located at the bottom end of the support base 25 and is connected to the lower support rod 23;

[0071] Side connecting rod 20, three of the side connecting rods 20 are arrayed and installed at the bottom end of the upper screw sleeve 21. The lower support rod 23 has three external through slots 30 circumferentially opened on its side end. The side connecting rod 20 passes through the external through slots 30 at the end away from the upper support plate 22 and extends into the adsorption chamber 29.

[0072] Adhesive strip adsorption assembly 31 is installed in the adsorption chamber 29 and connected to each of the side connecting rods 20.

[0073] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0074] When the adjusting screw 24 is rotated by adjusting wrench 27 to achieve the sinking movement of the support chassis 25, the support chassis 25 rotates while sinking as its bottom end rests against the ground. Because the upper screw sleeve 21 does not rotate, the adhesive strip adsorption assembly 31 connected to the upper screw sleeve 21 via the side connecting rod 20 does not rotate synchronously with the support chassis 25 in the adsorption chamber 29. When the support chassis 25 rotates, it drives the adhesive strip adsorption assembly 31 located in the adsorption chamber 29 to work. The adhesive strip adsorption assembly 31 forms a closed ring-shaped suction cup structure and rests against the ground. In this way, as the support chassis 25 continues to sink, the closed ring-shaped structure realizes the suction cup function and adsorbs onto the ground, thus achieving a fixed connection between the bottom end of the support chassis 25 and the ground. The angle of adjusting screw 24 rotated by adjusting wrench 27 is between 0-160°, and the maximum sinking height of the support chassis 25 is when the adjusting wrench 27 is rotated 0°.

[0075] In one embodiment, the adhesive strip adsorption assembly 31 includes:

[0076] Rotate the gear ring 32, which is mounted on the inner wall of the adsorption chamber 29;

[0077] A rotating sleeve is fitted onto the side connecting rod 20;

[0078] Rotating gear 33 is mounted on the rotating sleeve and meshes with rotating gear ring 32;

[0079] Rubber roller 34, which is mounted on a rotating sleeve;

[0080] The adhesive strip 35 has one end wound around the adhesive roller 34 and the other end connected to the inner wall of the adsorption chamber 29 through a connecting ear. The adhesive strip 35 is exposed outside the adsorption chamber 29.

[0081] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0082] like Figure 9 To adjust the initial state of the rubber strip 35 when the screw 24 is not rotated, as the adjusting wrench 27 rotates the adjusting screw 24, the supporting base 25 rotates synchronously. The supporting base 25 drives the adsorption chamber 29 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the rotating gear ring 32 installed in the adsorption chamber 29 to rotate synchronously. Because the rotating sleeve connected to the upper screw sleeve 21 through the side connecting rod 20 does not rotate synchronously with the supporting base 25 in the adsorption chamber 29, when the rotating gear ring 32 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the rotating gear 33 meshing with it to rotate counterclockwise. The rotating gear 33 drives the rotating sleeve and the rubber roller 34 installed on the rotating sleeve to rotate. During the process of the rubber roller 34 releasing the rubber strip 35 wrapped around it, the adsorption chamber 29 pulls the rubber strip 35 through the connecting lug. Finally, the rubber strip 35 is as follows. Figure 10 As shown, a closed triangular suction cup structure is formed. At this time, the rotation angle of the adjusting screw 24 is between 0-160°. When the adjusting screw 24 rotates to the maximum value of 160°, the rubber strip approaches the connecting ear end and passes over the rubber roller 34 located at the front end of its rotation direction, thus forming a triangular suction cup structure. In this way, the supporting base 25 sinks, and the triangular suction cup structure is preferentially pressed against the ground. The triangular suction cup structure is deformed under pressure, and a negative pressure is formed inside the triangular suction cup structure, thus realizing the triangular suction cup structure adhering to the ground.

[0083] In one embodiment, the three rotating gears 33 are arranged in a triangular array within the adsorption chamber 29.

[0084] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
