Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to shower rooms, specifically a foldable smart shower room. Background Technology

[0002] In modern homes, the shower enclosure, as a core component for separating wet and dry areas in the bathroom, directly impacts the user's bathing experience and the utilization of bathroom space due to its practicality and spatial adaptability. With the diversification of residential apartment layouts, the width and area of ​​bathrooms vary significantly among different families. However, traditional shower enclosures currently on the market generally suffer from fixed structures and poor adaptability, failing to meet diverse usage needs. Specific shortcomings include: First, the flexibility of space partitioning is insufficient. Traditional shower rooms are mostly fixed structures, and the size of their internal bathing space is fixed during manufacturing, making it impossible to dynamically adjust according to the actual needs of users (such as single bathing, multiple people bathing together, or placing toiletries). For example, some family members may want more spacious activity space, but traditional shower rooms cannot expand the space through structural adjustments; conversely, when only basic bathing functions are needed, the fixed-size shower room will occupy too much bathroom space, restricting activity in other areas.

[0003] Secondly, traditional shower enclosures have poor adaptability to bathroom widths. The door or enclosure structure of traditional shower enclosures has fixed dimensions, requiring strict adherence to bathroom width during installation. If the actual bathroom width doesn't match the shower enclosure's design dimensions, complex customization is necessary. This not only increases installation costs and time but may also damage the original bathroom walls or floor structure, affecting the overall aesthetic. Especially in small bathrooms, fixed-size shower enclosures often fail to fit the actual width, resulting in gaps at the edges. This affects appearance and can cause water overflow, negating the core function of separating wet and dry areas.

[0004] Finally, the issue of space occupation when not in use is prominent. Traditional shower enclosures, even when not in use, still occupy some space inside the bathroom due to their doors or enclosure structure, making complete folding impossible. This problem is even more pronounced in smaller bathrooms, as the extra structure reduces the usable space for other bathroom fixtures such as the sink and toilet, resulting in a cramped overall bathroom layout and reduced convenience for daily use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable smart shower room to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A folding smart shower enclosure includes several sliding rails fixed to a bathroom wall. Each sliding rail is rotatably connected to a sliding connector. A folding door is rotatably connected to each sliding connector. The folding door includes a first door body rotatably connected to the sliding connector and a second door body rotatably connected to the first door body. A telescopic door body is slidably connected inside the second door body. The telescopic door body is engaged with the bathroom side wall by a suction assembly.

[0007] As a further aspect of the present invention: at least three sets of sliding guide rails are provided, and an electrically controlled drive unit is also provided on the bathroom wall to drive the sliding connector to slide along the sliding guide rails.

[0010] As a further aspect of the present invention: a groove is provided on the second door body, and when the telescopic door body slides to the innermost side of the second door body, the rotating handle and the suction assembly are both located in the groove.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a limiting rotating rod is rotatably connected to the first door body to limit the rotation state of the second door body, and a slot is fixedly connected to the second door body. When the limiting rotating rod rotates to the position of the slot, it engages with the slot.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the card slot is L-shaped, and the upper end of the card slot is open.

[0013] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the width of the first door and the second door are the same, and when both the first door and the second door are rotated to be parallel to the bathroom wall, the suction assembly is suctioned and engaged with the other side wall of the bathroom.

[0014] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the sliding connector includes a base and a bearing seat, the bearing seat is fixed to the outer side of the base, the first door body is rotatably connected to the bearing seat, and a plurality of rollers are rotatably connected to the side of the base away from the bearing seat, the rollers being slidably connected within the sliding guide rail.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: The invention has a simple structure and is easy to use. By changing the position of the sliding connector, the bathroom can be divided into shower rooms of different sizes, thus meeting the needs of different users. For different bathroom widths, this invention can accommodate different sizes through a telescopic door, ensuring the privacy of the bathing space. Furthermore, when not in use, the device can completely conform to the bathroom wall, saving space and improving space utilization. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0027] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A folding smart shower enclosure includes several sliding rails 1 fixed to a bathroom wall. Each sliding rail 1 is rotatably connected to a sliding connector 2. The sliding connector 2 needs to be pre-slidably installed inside the sliding rail 1 before the sliding rail 1 is fixed to the bathroom wall. A folding door 3 is rotatably connected to each sliding connector 2. The folding door 3 includes a first door body 4 rotatably connected to the sliding connector 2 and a second door body 5 rotatably connected to the first door body 4. A telescopic door body 6 is slidably connected inside the second door body 5. The telescopic door body 6 engages with the bathroom side wall via a suction assembly 7. In use, the position of the sliding connector 2 is adjusted, and then the folding door is opened, forming a complete shower enclosure with the bathroom space. The position of the sliding connector 2 determines the size of the shower enclosure.

[0030] At least three sets of sliding guide rails 1 are provided, and an electrically controlled drive unit is also installed on the bathroom wall to drive the sliding connector 2 to slide along the sliding guide rails 1. The multiple sets of sliding guide rails 1 greatly enhance the stability of the entire device, preventing damage to the folding door 3 due to excessive weight during long-term use. The electrically controlled drive unit can adopt an electric telescopic rod or a pneumatic drive structure, which can intelligently control the position of the folding door 3 while moving the sliding connector 2. When the electric telescopic rod is extended or retracted, low-voltage DC power is used to prevent electric shock accidents to users during bathroom use.

[0031] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 At least one suction assembly 7 is provided, preferably two or three, to provide sufficient suction force. The suction assembly 7 includes a cover 8 fixed to the telescopic door body 6, a pull rod 9 slidably connected inside the cover 8, the pull rod 9 being slidably connected to the telescopic door body 6, and a suction cup 10 that cooperates with the cover 8 being fixedly connected to the end of the pull rod 9. Before the suction assembly 7 is suctioned to the bathroom wall, the telescopic door body 6 needs to be slid from inside the second door body 5 so that the suction cup 10 at the end of the second door body 5 contacts the wall. Then, the pull rod 9 is pulled so that the end of the suction cup 10 is further inserted into the cover 8. At this time, the suction cup 10 can provide stronger suction force, and the folding door 3 is more firmly fixed.

[0032] A cavity 11 is provided on the telescopic gate body 6. A rotating handle 12 is rotatably connected inside the cavity 11. Several levers 13 are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating handle 12. A driven rod 14 located inside the cavity 11 is fixedly connected below the pull rod 9. The driven rod 14 drives the pull rod 9 to slide under the drive of the levers 13. The levers 13 allow the position adjustment of the pull rod 9 to be controlled by the rotating handle 12. When the rotating handle 12 is rotated, the levers 13 rotate, which in turn actuates the driven rods 14, causing the pull rod 9 to slide outward or inward along its sliding direction. The suction force increases when sliding outward and decreases when sliding inward. The levers 13 are fixed to the outside of the central axis of the rotating handle 12. To prevent the rotating handle 12 from shaking, a locking mechanism can be provided on the outside of the central axis of the rotating handle 12. Any existing locking mechanism is acceptable. After rotating the rotating handle 12, the locking mechanism locks the handle in place.

[0033] The second door body 5 has a groove 15. When the telescopic door body 6 slides to the innermost side of the second door body 5, the rotating handle 12 and the suction assembly 7 are both located in the groove 15. When the telescopic door body 6 slides completely into the second door body 5, the rotating handle 12 is located in the groove 15. At the same time, in order to prevent the telescopic door body 6 from sliding down from the inside of the second door body 5, corresponding limiting mechanisms need to be set on the second door body 5 and the telescopic door body 6 to limit the maximum extension length of the telescopic door body 6.

[0034] Example 2: This example discloses the following technical content based on the previous example: Please refer to... Figure 6 A limiting rod 16 is rotatably connected to the first door body 4 to restrict the rotation of the second door body 5. A slot 17 is fixedly connected to the second door body 5. When the limiting rod 16 rotates to the position of the slot 17, it engages with the slot 17. The slot 17 is L-shaped with an open upper end. After the second door body 5 rotates to be in the same plane as the first door body 4, the limiting rod 16 on the first door body 4 can be rotated. After the limiting rod 16 engages inside the slot 17, it restricts the rotational freedom of the second door body 5 relative to the first door body 4. At this time, the second door body 5 cannot rotate around the connection position of the first door body 4, ensuring that the entire folding door 3 forms a whole structure that cannot be easily changed during showering. During normal use in the bathroom, the limiting rod 16 can be released to rotate the second door body 5, achieving the purpose of folding and storage, and avoiding the shower room taking up too much space.

[0035] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first door 4 and the second door 5 have the same width. When both the first door 4 and the second door 5 are rotated to be parallel to the bathroom wall, the suction assembly 7 engages with the wall on the other side of the bathroom. When the folded second door 5 faces the wall on the other side of the bathroom, the sliding connector 2 slides to the appropriate position, and the suction assembly 7 engages with the wall, making the entire device fit snugly against the bathroom wall, maximizing the use of bathroom space.

[0036] Please see Figure 9 The sliding connector 2 includes a base 18 and a bearing 19. The bearing 19 is fixed to the outer side of the base 18. The first door body 4 is rotatably connected to the bearing 19. Several rollers 20 are rotatably connected to the side of the base 18 away from the bearing 19. The rollers 20 are slidably connected in the sliding guide rail 1.
