[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "or / and" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the bracket 1 of the shower door is in the form of a rod and is vertically arranged, and the glass plate 2 of the shower door is in the form of a flat plate.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the buffer contact assembly between the glass plate and the bracket in the shower door is located between the inner side of the bracket 1 and the inner side of the glass plate 2, and includes a flexible and long strip-shaped body 3, one side of the body 3 has a concave connecting groove 3a along its length direction, and the other side of the body 3 has a contact portion 3b that can buffer deformation under the action of external force, the inner side of the glass plate 2 is embedded in the connecting groove 3a of the body 3, and the above-mentioned contact portion 3b abuts against the inner side of the bracket 1.

[0030] After the glass plate 2 is inserted into the connection groove 3a of the body 3, the glass plate 2 can be stably connected to the body 3. The bracket 1 and the glass plate 2 are connected by an additional connection mechanism, that is, how the bracket 1 and the glass plate 2 are connected is not the problem to be solved by this patent. The problem to be solved by this patent is how to buffer and seal the connection between the bracket 1 and the glass plate 2.

[0031] After the contact portion 3 b is tightly pressed between the bracket 1 and the glass plate 2 , a good sealing and buffering connection can be formed between the bracket 1 and the glass plate 2 .

[0032] The body 3 and the contact portion 3b are an integrated structure and are made of rubber material.

[0033] This not only makes the structure compact but also makes the entire body 3 have good buffering performance.

[0034] The outer end of the connecting groove 3a of the body 3 has a smoothly transitioning portion 3a1.

[0035] The transition portion 3a1 is a rounded corner at the outer end of the connecting groove 3a of the body 3. According to actual conditions, it is also feasible that the transition portion 3a1 is a chamfer at the outer end of the connecting groove 3a of the body 3.

[0036] The provision of the transition portion 3 a 1 can eliminate the sharp structure between the body 3 and the glass plate 2 .

[0037] The contact portion 3b has a cylindrical cross section.

[0038] The contact portion 3b has a reinforcement structure therein.

[0039] The reinforcement structure includes a cylindrical and flexible reinforcement tube 4 , and a positioning structure is provided between the reinforcement tube 4 and the body 3 .

[0040] The reinforcing tube 4 improves the strength of the entire contact portion 3b without weakening its cushioning and sealing properties.

[0041] The reinforcement tube 4 is made of rubber material.

[0042] The contact portion 3 b is in the shape of a 3 / 4 circle, and the ends of the contact portion 3 b are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the body 3 .

[0043] Such a structure can make the size of the contact portion 3b slightly larger than the size of the body 3, so that the contact portion 3b can have good cushioning and sealing properties.

[0044] The positioning structure includes a plurality of protrusions 4a uniformly distributed along the length direction of the reinforcement tube 4, and the main body 3 is provided with positioning recesses 3c corresponding to the protrusions 4a uniformly distributed along the length direction, and the protrusions 4a are embedded in the corresponding positioning recesses 3c.

[0045] The outer side of the reinforcement tube 4 contacts the inner side of the contact portion 3b, and at the same time, the protrusion 4a is embedded in the corresponding positioning recess 3c. Such a structure can ensure that the reinforcement tube 4 is stably positioned and connected in the contact portion 3b.

[0046] In the present shower door, the buffer contact assembly between the glass plate and the bracket has a main body 3 that can be directly connected to the glass plate 2, and a contact portion 3b on the main body 3 is tightly pressed between the glass plate 2 and the bracket 1. Therefore, a good buffer contact can be formed between the glass plate 2 and the bracket 1 and proper sealing can be ensured.

[0047] It can be seen that since the edge of the glass plate 2 can be easily and stably embedded in the connection groove 3a of the body 3, the entire contact assembly is easy to assemble, the body will not deflect after installation, and the assembly efficiency is high and the position accuracy is stable.

[0048] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0049] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. As long as they are within the spirit of the present invention, appropriate changes and modifications to the above embodiments are within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
