[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a retractable shower door for a shower room, comprising:

[0031] The side door frame 1 is fixed to the side wall of the shower room, and a slot is opened on one side of the side door frame 1;

[0032] The fixed glass 2 has a plug-in plate fixedly connected to the side of the fixed glass 2, which is inserted into the slot. The upper and lower ends of the fixed glass 2 are respectively fixedly connected to the fixed plates 3. The side of the fixed plate 3 is provided with a slide groove 4 along the length direction. The cross-section of the slide groove 4 is T-shaped.

[0033] Sliding glass 5, slidingly connected to the inner side of fixed glass 2 in parallel, with slide plates 6 fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of sliding glass 5, and a plurality of pulleys 7 rotatably connected to the sides of slide plates 6, which are slidably connected to the slide groove 4;

[0034] Positioning assembly, there are two sets of positioning assemblies, the two sets of positioning assemblies are respectively installed on the fixed plate 3, and the positioning assemblies are limitedly matched with the pulley 7;

[0035] Among them, a fixing component is installed on the top of the slot, and the fixing component and the plug-in board are limitedly matched.

[0036] When installing the present invention, the insert plate of the fixed glass 2 is vertically inserted into the slot of the side door frame 1, and the top fixing component presses the insert plate and the side door frame 1 to ensure that the glass does not shake in the vertical direction. The pulley 7 of the sliding glass 5 is inserted into the T-shaped slide groove 4 of the fixed plate 3, and the pulley 7 rolls along the slide groove 4 to achieve horizontal movement. Two sets of positioning components are pre-installed at both ends of the fixed plate 3, and the positioning position is adjusted according to the width of the door opening. Pull the sliding glass 5 outward, and the pulley 7 slides along the T-shaped slide groove 4. The limiting structure of the positioning component allows the pulley 7 to pass; when sliding to the maximum stroke, the positioning component and the pulley 7 are limited and locked in position. There is a certain friction between the pulley 7 and the slide groove 4 to ensure that the movable door can stop at any position.

[0037] The present invention adopts the arrangement of the side sliding groove 4 to reduce the space required for track arrangement, while preventing debris from entering the track and ensuring the smooth sliding of the sliding glass 5.

[0038] Further optimized, the positioning assembly includes a fixed block 8 fixedly connected to the fixed plate 3, a sliding hole is opened on one side of the fixed block 8, a sliding rod is slidably connected in the sliding hole, one end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to a support block 9, the support block 9 and the pulley 7 are correspondingly arranged, and a spring is fixedly connected between the end of the sliding rod and the inner wall of the sliding hole;

[0039] The side of the support block 9 away from the slide rod is configured as an arc surface.

[0040] According to a further optimized solution, the fixing part includes a positioning pin 10, a socket is provided on the top of the plug board, a through slot is provided on the top of the slot, the positioning pin 10 is inserted into the through slot, and one end of the positioning pin 10 is inserted into the socket.

[0041] To further optimize the solution, magnetic patches are attached to the pulley 7 and the support block 9 respectively.

[0042] According to a further optimized solution, a sealing strip is vertically fixed to one side of the sliding glass 5 close to the fixed glass 2 , and the sealing strip is in contact with the fixed glass 2 .

[0043] According to a further optimized solution, a water-stop threshold 11 is fixed to the side of the side door frame 1 , the fixing plate 3 is fixed to the top of the water-stop threshold 11 , and the water-stop threshold 11 is fixed to the floor of the shower room.

[0044] As a further optimization solution, a waterproof strip 12 is fixed to the bottom of the lower slide plate 6 .

[0045] To further optimize the solution, handles are installed in the middle of the inner and outer sides of the movable door.

[0046] The spring forces support block 9 to maintain its maximum extension, with its curved surface contacting the outer edge of pulley 7, forming the first limit. The magnetic patch (north pole on pulley 7, south pole on support block 9) generates a suction force of approximately 1.2N, preventing the door from slipping due to even the slightest vibration.

[0047] When the sliding glass 5 is pulled outward, the pulley 7 moves along the T-slot. When it contacts the curved surface of the support block 9, the pulley 7 compresses the support block 9 into the sliding hole, and the slide rod retracts to overcome the spring pressure (preload force is about 8-12N).

[0048] After the pulley 7 passes the support block 9, the spring releases energy to push the support block 9 to reset. At this time, the arc surface of the support block 9 forms a limit with the next set of pulleys 7, and the magnetic patch is adsorbed and fixed again.

[0049] When pushing in the reverse direction, the pulley 7 repeats the action of compressing the support block 9, and finally after passing through the positioning assembly, the support block 9 returns to the initial limit state under the action of the spring.

[0050] A positioning pin 10 (Ø6mm diameter, 25mm length) penetrates the slot and the insert plate hole to achieve three-dimensional fixation of the insert plate. The pin is made of 304 stainless steel and has a shear resistance of >5000N, ensuring that the glass does not shake.

[0051] When the fixed glass 2 is installed, the top fixing plate 3 of the water-stop threshold 11 (30 mm in height and 50 mm in width) and the side door frame 1 form an L-shaped supporting structure to share part of the lateral load.

[0052] The sealing strip (EPDM material, Shore hardness 60A) on the sliding glass 5 forms surface contact with the fixed glass 2 when closed, and the compression amount is controlled at 25±5% to ensure sealing while avoiding excessive switching resistance.

[0053] The waterproof strip 12 (made of silicone and with a trapezoidal cross section) at the bottom of the lower slide 6 cooperates with the inclined surface of the water-stop threshold 11 to form a secondary waterproof barrier that can prevent the penetration of water with a height of more than 5mm.

[0054] The inner and outer double handles (1000mm from the ground) adopt the lever principle, the grip height is ergonomic, the opening force is ≤30N (test value), and the elderly and children can operate it easily.

[0055] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0056] The embodiments described above are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by persons skilled in the art should fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims of the present invention.
