Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen and bathroom, in particular to an electroplated shower rod. Background Art
[0002] The shower rod can be formed of different materials according to the needs. Among them, aluminum can be extruded to obtain a shower rod with a more integrated appearance. However, aluminum is a relatively active metal, and an oxide film is easily formed on its outer surface, which makes it difficult to electroplate the aluminum. Steel and copper, which are easy to electroplate, cannot be extruded to obtain a square shower rod with a more complex cross-section. For this reason, the utility model proposes a combined shower rod, which obtains a square shower rod that can be electroplated by bending steel or copper to solve the above-mentioned problem, and can also increase the strength of the shower rod. Summary of the invention
[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a shower rod structure capable of electroplating.
[0004] A electroplated shower rod comprises an outer tube and a slide groove, wherein:
[0005] The outer tube is formed by bending a long strip of stainless steel plate or copper plate, and is easy to be electroplated. The electroplating can be performed after the stainless steel plate or copper plate is bent to form the outer tube, or after the outer tube and the slide chute are assembled.
[0006] The cross section of the outer tube is an open rectangle, and the opening is arranged on one side of the short side of the rectangle.
[0007] The slide groove is covered in the outer tube, and the notch of the slide groove is aligned with the opening of the outer tube to form a groove for the slide seat to be installed and slide.
[0008] The utility model adopts a combination of an outer tube and a slide groove, so that the outer tube can be made of a material that is easy to electroplate, and at the same time uses an independent slide groove to reduce the complexity of the shape of the outer tube, making the outer tube easy to form by bending. In addition, the combination of the outer tube and the slide groove can further increase the strength of the shower rod.
[0009] Preferably, in order to improve the assembly firmness of the outer tube and the slide groove, the two sides of the slot of the slide groove are bent inward to form a folded plate, and the two side edges of the opening are bent toward the inside of the outer tube to form a curling edge and cover the folded plate.
[0010] Preferably, the curled edge is U-shaped and covers both sides of the folding plate, so that it can be tightly attached to the folding plate to prevent the sliding groove from shaking during use, while improving the supporting strength of the slot to the sliding seat.
[0011] Preferably, the slide groove is square, and two side edges abut against the inner side walls of the long sides of the outer tube, thereby improving the installation firmness of the outer tube and the slide groove.
[0012] Preferably, the ends of the outer tube and the slide groove are flush.
[0013] Preferably, the outer tube and the slide groove are fixed by bonding, welding, screw locking or bending and clamping to improve the firmness of the assembly.
[0014] Preferably, plugs are provided at both ends of the outer tube.
[0015] Preferably, the groove depth of the slide groove is 0.5 cm-2.5 cm, which provides sufficient installation space for the slide seat. At the same time, when the slide groove is as close to the opening as possible and connected to the outer tube, the opening can be prevented from being stretched open.
[0016] Preferably, the slide chute is made of stainless steel, copper, plastic or aluminum.
[0017] Preferably, the bending part of the outer tube is rounded, which not only has a good shape but also is not easy to cause stress concentration and scratch the user.
[0018] Preferably, the outer tube is rectangular as a whole, so that it can fit the wall more closely during installation.
[0019] From the above description of the utility model, it can be seen that the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] The outer tube and the chute are combined to make the outer tube use materials that are easy to electroplate. The independent chute is used to reduce the complexity of the outer tube shape, making it easy to bend the outer tube.
[0021] The combination of the outer tube and the slide groove can further increase the strength of the shower rod;
[0022] The two sides of the slot of the slide are bent inward to form a folded plate, and the two sides of the opening are bent toward the inside of the outer tube to form a curling edge and cover the folded plate, thereby improving the assembly firmness of the outer tube and the slide;
[0023] The rolled edge is U-shaped and covers both sides of the folding plate, so it can be closely attached to the folding plate to prevent the sliding groove from shaking during use, while improving the supporting strength of the notch to the sliding seat. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
