Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of shower doors, and in particular to a sliding door assembly and a sliding door comprising the same. Background Art

[0002] Shower doors are a common device used to separate wet and dry areas in decoration. Usually, shower doors generally adopt a sliding door structure with upper and lower tracks. Although the lower track helps to fix the entire device, it also poses a risk of tripping when users enter and exit the shower area, especially for elderly people and children with limited mobility. In order to solve the above problem, a new design has appeared on the market that eliminates the lower track and only retains the upper track to reduce the possibility of tripping.

[0003] In order to avoid collision with the wall when closing or opening the movable door that only retains the upper track, blocking pieces are usually set at both ends of the upper track. Although this method can provide some protection when operated gently, in the case of forceful opening and closing of the door (such as when a child operates it by mistake), due to the lack of restraint from the lower track, the movable door may swing due to inertia, causing the lower part of the movable door to continue to move forward and possibly hit the wall, or even cause the risk of pinching hands. As the movable door is mostly made of tempered glass, its corners are stress concentration areas, which are prone to self-explosion once subjected to severe impact.

[0004] Although the design of removing the lower track effectively solves the problem of tripping, in actual use, especially when the movable door is fully opened or closed, it is still necessary to consider how to effectively avoid collisions between it and walls or other obstacles. Therefore, the existing shower door still cannot completely eliminate all potential safety hazards, and further improvements are needed to ensure the safety of the shower door during the entire use process. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the safety problem of the existing upper track shower screen, the present application provides a sliding door assembly, including a clamping member, a first blocking member and a second blocking member; wherein the clamping member is in the shape of an elongated strip; and one side edge of the clamping member can be connected to the lower edge of the movable leaf of the sliding door, and the other side edge of the clamping member is configured with a sliding groove; the first blocking member is in the shape of a block; the first blocking member can be detachably connected to at least one end of the clamping member; the second blocking member is in the shape of a block, and a card groove is formed on the end face of the second blocking member, and the card groove is used to fix the fixed leaf of the sliding door; and a side surface of the second blocking member is also configured with a snap-fit ​​member; the snap-fit ​​member can be connected to the sliding groove in a relatively slidable manner.

[0006] According to one embodiment of the present application, the clamping member further includes a limiting groove; the limiting groove is used to fix the movable fan.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present application, a fixing hole is further configured at the bottom of the slide groove; the fixing hole is used to fix the first blocking member.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present application, a partition is also provided in the slide groove; the partition divides the slide groove into a first slide groove and a second slide groove; one of the first slide groove and the second slide groove is used for installing a waterproof member; and the other of the first slide groove and the second slide groove is used for installing a first blocking member.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present application, a fixing portion is provided at one end of the first blocking member, and the fixing portion is used to connect the first blocking member to the clamping member; a blocking contact portion is provided at the other end of the first blocking member, and the blocking contact portion is a block-shaped structure, and a receiving groove is formed on the top of the blocking contact portion, and the receiving groove is used to receive a side plate of the sliding groove.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present application, a buffer structure is provided on a surface of the blocking contact portion away from the fixing portion.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present application, a through hole is formed on the end surface of the second blocking member, and is threadedly connected to the ground through the through hole.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present application, the engaging member of the second blocking member is a groove-shaped structure.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present application, a lining structure is provided in the notch of the groove-like structure, and the lining structure is used to reduce the width of the notch to increase the clamping force on the clamping member.

[0014] The present application also provides a sliding door, which includes the sliding door assembly as described in any one of claims 1 to 10.

[0015] The sliding door assembly and the sliding door comprising the same provided in the embodiments of the present application have at least achieved the following

[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] The sliding door assembly provided in the present application is connected to the lower edge of the movable leaf through one side of the clamping member, and a slide groove is formed on the other side of the clamping member. The engaging member of the second assembly is relatively slidably connected to the slide groove of the clamping member, thereby preventing the hanging rail sliding door from swinging in the absence of a lower track. By arranging a first blocking member at at least one end of the clamping member, and the first blocking member has a larger size than the clamping member in a direction perpendicular to the movable leaf, the first blocking member can be blocked by the second blocking member during the movement of the movable leaf, thereby preventing the movable leaf from swinging due to the inertia of opening and closing the door.

[0037] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the installation position of a sliding door assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , the sliding door assembly is installed at the bottom of the sliding door. Figures 2 to 5, the sliding door assembly includes a clamp 10, a first blocking member 20 and a second blocking member 30. The clamp 10 is in the shape of a long strip; and one side of the clamp 10 can be connected to the lower edge of the movable leaf (B, E) of the sliding door, and the other side of the clamp 10 is configured with a slide groove 105. The first blocking member 20 is in the shape of a block. The first blocking member 20 can be detachably connected to at least one end of the clamp 10. The second blocking member 30 is in the shape of a block, and a card slot 305 is formed on the end face of the second blocking member 30, and the card slot 305 is used to fix the fixed leaf (C, D) of the sliding door; and a side of the second blocking member 30 is also configured with a snap-fit ​​member 308; the snap-fit ​​member 308 can be connected to the slide groove 105 in a relatively sliding manner. Exemplarily, according to an embodiment of the present application, the clamp 10 is detachably connected to the lower edge of the movable leaf. Exemplarily, the clamp 10 is connected to the movable leaf by means of gluing, snap-fitting and threading. Exemplarily, the second blocking member 30 is fixed to the ground by screws, bonding, etc. According to an embodiment of the present application, along a direction perpendicular to the movable leaf, the size of the first blocking member 20 is larger than that of the clamping member 10 to interfere with the second blocking member 30 during the movement of the sliding door.

[0038] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 When the sliding door assembly of the present application is in use, the second blocking member 30 is fixed to the ground and clamped at the lower corner of the movable door near the fixed door. The side plate of the clamping member 10 on the side away from the movable door is slidably matched with the engaging member of the second blocking member 30, so that when the movable door moves along the upper track of the sliding door, the lower part of the movable door is constrained by the engaging member, thereby preventing the movable door from swinging. At least one end of the clamping member 10 is connected to the first blocking member 20. When the movable door moves, when the movable door reaches the closed position or the maximum open position, the first blocking member 20 is blocked by the second blocking member 30, so that the movement of the sliding door stops, thereby avoiding the swing caused by inertia when the sliding door is opened and closed vigorously, and further avoiding the possible self-explosion of the tempered glass.
