Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of sanitary equipment, and in particular, to a cleaning component for a shower room and a shower room including the same. Background Art

[0002] Currently, it is a common phenomenon to set up a shower room indoors. When taking a shower in the shower room, especially during the shower, chemical cleaning products such as shampoo and body wash are used, and the water with chemical components will be splashed onto the side door panels of the shower room.

[0003] People usually use towels or purchase cleaning components on the market to clean the side door panels of the shower room. However, when using a towel to clean the shower room, since the area that can be cleaned by the towel at one time is small, it is necessary to repeat many times to clean one side door panel of the shower room. When using the cleaning components on the market to clean the shower room, due to the limitation of generality, the length of the cleaning component is not sufficient to be applicable to all shower rooms, and it is also necessary to scrape the water on the side door panels of the shower room repeatedly for many times, thus consuming people's time and energy. At the same time, since the part of the cleaning component in contact with the shower room is soft, it is easy to have too much contact with the shower room due to deformation and it is difficult to move.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cleaning device for a shower room that can solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The present disclosure provides the following cleaning component for a shower room and a shower room including the cleaning component.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a cleaning component for a shower room, the cleaning component including: at least one guide rail, the guide rail is arranged at the end of the door panel of the shower room along a first direction and extends along the entire length of the end; a holder, the holder extends across the door panel along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; at least one moving member, the holder is connected to the guide rail via the moving member, and the moving member is adapted to move along the guide rail so as to drive the holder to move in the first direction; a scraper, the scraper includes a main body portion and a flexible contact portion, the main body portion is detachably fastened to the holder such that the flexible contact portion extends towards the door panel and abuts against the surface of the door panel; and at least one limiting member, the limiting member supports the flexible contact portion of the scraper to limit the deformation amount of the flexible contact portion. Thereby, it is possible to achieve one-time cleaning of the shower door panel, and at the same time, the setting of the limiting member avoids the excessive contact amount between the flexible contact portion of the scraper and the door panel surface due to the too large span of the scraper and uneven force, thereby preventing the scraper from getting stuck during movement, overcoming the long-existing technical prejudice, and achieving the purpose of saving time and effort.

[0007] Optionally, the limiting member includes a first limiting plate and a second limiting plate extending angularly from the first limiting plate. The first limiting plate is fastened to the cage, and the second limiting plate extends between the cage and the flexible contact portion and abuts against the squeegee below the flexible contact portion to provide support.

[0008] Optionally, the at least one guide rail includes a first guide rail and a second guide rail. Each of the first guide rail and the second guide rail includes a guiding portion opening in a direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction and a mounting groove opening in the second direction. The door panel is inserted into the mounting groove, and the moving member is snap-fitted to the guiding portion.

[0009] Optionally, the first guide rail and the second guide rail are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the door panel in the second direction; the at least one moving member includes a first moving member and a second moving member; and the cleaning assembly further includes a first guiding assembly and a second guiding assembly respectively fixed at opposite ends of the cage in the second direction. The first moving member is disposed on the first guiding assembly, and the second moving member is disposed on the second guiding assembly. Such a configuration facilitates the fixing and flexible configuration of the moving member on the cage.

[0010] Optionally, the first guiding assembly is an elongate member extending in the first direction, and two first moving members are spaced apart and disposed on the first guiding assembly; and one second moving member is disposed on the second guiding assembly. The right triangle framework formed by the three moving members effectively inhibits the phenomenon that the moving members on both sides tilt and jam due to being out of sync when moving along the guide rail.

[0011] Optionally, an adjusting member is disposed on the second guiding assembly, and the adjusting member adjusts the position of the second moving member in the second direction. Thus, by adjusting the distance between the first moving member and the second moving member at both ends of the cage, it is easy to match the distance between the first guide rail and the second guide rail mounted on the shower room.

[0012] Optionally, the second guiding assembly includes a fixing frame and the above-mentioned adjusting member. The fixing frame defines a receiving cavity. The adjusting member includes an elastic member, a pin, and an integrally formed adjusting portion and connecting portion. The adjusting portion is received in the receiving cavity via an opening of the fixing frame, and the size of the adjusting portion in the second direction is smaller than that of the receiving cavity. The connecting portion extends out of the opening, and the second moving member is rotatably fastened to the connecting portion. The adjusting portion is provided with a pin hole penetrating the adjusting portion in the second direction, and the pin is inserted into the pin hole, and the adjusting portion can move along the pin. The elastic member is connected to the adjusting portion and applies an elastic force to the adjusting portion in the second direction.

[0013] According to the above embodiments, when applying the cleaning assembly, there may be a situation where the first guide rail and the second guide rail are not parallel. For example, the guide rails may be deformed after long-term use. At this time, the second moving member fixedly connected to the connecting portion and the adjusting portion can move along the pin by means of the elastic force of the elastic member to adapt to the distance between the first guide rail and the second guide rail and can move smoothly along the guide rail, thereby improving the operating performance of the cleaning assembly.

[0014] Optionally, the scraper is integrally extruded and formed. Alternatively, the scraper is a split type and further includes a flexible connecting portion, and the flexible contact portion is connected to the main body portion through the flexible connecting portion.

[0015] Optionally, the moving member is a roller or a slider.

[0016] Optionally, the adjusting portion further forms U-shaped notches on both sides of the pin hole that penetrate the adjusting portion along the second direction. The two U-shaped notches and the pin hole are arranged in a triangle. The fixing member passes through the U-shaped notches to fix the second guide assembly to the cage. While fixing the second guide assembly, the fixing member also plays a role in restricting the shaking or rotation of the adjusting portion in other directions, ensuring the smooth operation of the adjusting member.

[0017] The second aspect of the present application provides a shower room, which includes any one of the above-mentioned cleaning assemblies for achieving one-time cleaning of the shower room.

[0018] The cleaning assembly provided by the present application is provided with a scraper equivalent to the height or width of the shower door panel, and then the scraper is fixed by the cage, so that the scraper can reciprocate along the guide rail through the moving member connected to the cage to clean the door panel. Since the guide rail is equivalent to the height or width of the door panel, when the scraper moves from one side of the door panel along the guide rail provided at the end of the door panel to the other side, it can clean the accumulated water at every place on the door panel surface, thereby achieving the purpose of one-time cleaning. At the same time, setting a limiting member between the cage and the door panel contact portion of the scraper can prevent the distance between the cage and the surface of the shower door panel to be cleaned from being too close, avoiding problems such as excessive resistance and inconvenient cleaning caused by excessive contact between the scraper and the door panel, and can also alleviate the morphological degradation of the scraper due to long-term use and extend the service life of the scraper.

Obviously, the described embodiments are the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0053] In the claims, the description and the above-mentioned drawings of the present disclosure, unless otherwise clearly defined, when using terms such as "first", "second" or "third", etc., they are for distinguishing different objects rather than for describing a specific order.

Therefore, it should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0055] In the claims, the description and the above-mentioned drawings of the present disclosure, unless otherwise clearly defined, when using the terms "fixed connection" or "fixedly connected", it should be understood in a broad sense, that is, any connection method without a displacement relationship between the two, that is, it includes non-detachable fixed connection, detachable fixed connection, being integrally connected, and being fixedly connected through other devices or elements.

[0056] In the claims, the description and the above-mentioned drawings of the present disclosure, when using terms such as "comprising", "having" and their variants, are intended to mean "including but not limited to".

[0057] The embodiments herein are described with reference to cross-sectional views of idealized embodiments. Thus, shape variations relative to the illustrated shapes are envisioned as a result of, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Accordingly, the embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the specific shapes of the regions as illustrated herein, but should include deviations in shape due to, for example, manufacturing. For example, regions shown or described as flat may typically have rough and / or non-linear features. Also, the sharp angles shown may be rounded. Like reference numerals throughout denote like components. In the drawings, the thickness, ratios, and dimensions of the components are exaggerated for clarity.

[0058] The following embodiments of the present disclosure exemplarily show a cleaning assembly capable of achieving one-time cleaning.

[0059] As shown in the figure, the cleaning assembly of the present disclosure may include at least one guide rail, a cage, at least one moving member, and a scraper. The guide rail may be arranged along the edge of the shower door panel or the end of the shower door and extend across the entire length of the end. The cage is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the guide rail and spans the entire length of the door panel in this direction. A moving member is installed at the end of the cage connecting the guide rail, and the moving member is adapted to move along the guide rail to drive the cage to reciprocate. The scraper is fastened to the cage such that the part of the scraper for scraping the surface of the door panel to achieve the cleaning function extends towards the door panel and abuts against the surface of the door panel. Through such a configuration, when the moving member is pushed from one end of the guide rail to the other end, the movement range of the cage and thus the scraper can cover the entire surface of the door panel, thereby achieving a one-time cleaning of the door panel.

[0060] It can be understood that the guide rail can be provided only at one end of the door panel. For the sake of aesthetics and more stable operation, a guide rail can also be provided at each of the opposite ends of the door panel. Moreover, the guide rail can be arranged along the width of the door panel or along the longitudinal length of the door panel. For the convenience of manual operation, it is preferably arranged in the width direction. For a door panel with a relatively long length or a segmented door panel, more than two guide rails can be arranged along the width direction.

[0061] In order to avoid scratches and ensure the cleaning effect of the scraper, at least the part of the scraper in contact with the door panel is usually made of a flexible material, and the flexible contact part of the scraper needs to contact the surface of the door panel with an appropriate force during the cleaning process. However, when the above cleaning assembly is cleaning the water stains on the shower door panel, due to the excessive contact area between the scraper and the door panel surface and the presence of water on the door panel surface, the capillary action and negative pressure effect of the water will cause the surface of the flexible contact part to be tightly adsorbed to the door panel surface and be difficult to separate, resulting in difficulty in advancing the scraper. For the above reasons, cleaning devices with a relatively large contact area are usually not used in the field of shower rooms.

[0062] The present disclosure prevents the flexible contact part from being excessively deformed by providing at least one limiting member to limit the distance between the cage and the shower door panel and support the flexible contact part, thereby ensuring the contact amount between the flexible contact part and the shower door panel, and preventing the contact amount from being too much to affect the smoothness of cleaning.

[0063] The drawings illustrate a cleaning assembly for a shower room according to an embodiment of the present application. The following will describe it with reference to the coordinate system in Figure 2 where the positive direction of the x-axis is the front of the present application, the negative direction of the x-axis is the rear of the present application, the positive direction of the y-axis is the right side of the present application, the negative direction of the y-axis is the left side of the present application, the positive direction of the z-axis is the upper side of the present application, and the negative direction of the z-axis is the lower side of the present application. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the cleaning assembly includes a first guide rail 1 and a second guide rail 2, which are respectively arranged at both ends of one of the shower doors along the z-axis direction and are respectively parallel to the y-axis. In an alternative embodiment, the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 2 can be respectively arranged at both ends of each door panel of the shower room.

[0064] As Figure 1 clearly shown, the cleaning assembly further includes a cage 5, optionally a first guide assembly 6 and a second guide assembly 7, and a first moving member 62 and a second moving member 73. The cage 5 is arranged between the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 2 along the z-axis direction. The two ends of the cage 5 in the z-axis direction are respectively detachably connected to the first guide assembly 6 and the second guide assembly 7, so that the first guide assembly 6 and the second guide assembly 7 are respectively facing the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 2. The first moving member 62 is fastened to the side of the first guide assembly 6 facing the first guide rail 1, and the second moving member 73 is fastened to the side of the second guide assembly 7 facing the second guide rail 2, so as to allow the cage 5 together with the scraper 3 fixed on the cage 5 to move back and forth on the surface of the shower door when the first moving member 62 and the second moving member 73 reciprocate along the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 2. It can be understood that the first moving member 62 and the second moving member 73 can also be directly mounted on the cage 5.

[0065] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in the illustrated embodiment, the first guide rail 1 includes a first guide portion 11 and a first mounting groove 12. The cross-section of the first guide portion 11 is generally in the shape of a laterally open rectangle, the open side faces the positive x-axis direction, and inwardly extending edges are formed at both ends of the open side in the z-axis direction. Thus, the first moving member 62 can be latched and engaged laterally in the rectangular notch of the first guide portion 11 and reciprocate along the first guide portion 11. Similarly, the second guide rail 2 includes a second guide portion 21 and a second mounting groove 22. The second moving member 73 can be latched and engaged in the second guide portion 21 and reciprocate along the second guide portion 21. The first mounting groove 12 and the second mounting groove 22 can be grooves opening in the z-axis direction for inserting both ends of the shower door. Preferably, the first mounting groove 12 and the second mounting groove 22 are used for mounting at both ends of the shower door in the shower room.

[0066] In the illustrated embodiment, the moving members 62, 73 are rotatable rollers. In some embodiments not shown, the moving member can be, for example, a slider made of a material with excellent sliding properties.

[0067] Figure 4 and Figure 5The scraper 3 in the installed state and a partial enlarged view of the scraper are respectively shown. The scraper 3 includes a main body portion 31 and a flexible contact portion 32. The main body portion 31 is used for detachably connecting with the cage 5, and the flexible contact portion 32 is used for contacting the surface of the door panel to be cleaned and reciprocating along the guide rail together with the cage 5, so that every part of the flexible contact portion 32 contacts the surface of the door panel through the movement, achieving the purpose of cleaning the water stains in the shower room. In the preferred embodiment shown in the figure, the length of the scraper 3 is equivalent to the length of the cage 5, so as to realize the one-time cleaning of the accumulated water on the surface of the shower room.

[0068] The scraper 3 can be integrally extruded and formed from a plastic material. Among them, the main body portion 31 can be made of a hard plastic such as PVC or ABS resin, for example, and the flexible contact portion 32 can be made of an elastic material such as rubber, for example. In some embodiments, the scraper 3 can be a split type. In another exemplary embodiment, the scraper 3 can further include a flexible connecting portion, which can be arranged between the main body portion 31 and the flexible contact portion 32 for connecting the main body portion 31 and the flexible contact portion 32. In an alternative embodiment, the flexible connecting portion is integrally formed with the main body portion 31 and the flexible contact portion 32. In another alternative embodiment, the flexible connecting portion can be detachably connected between the main body portion 31 and the flexible contact portion 32.

[0069] As Figure 5 shown, the main body portion 31 can include a first main body portion 311 to be inserted into the cage 5 and a second main body portion 312 extending outside the cage 5. The first main body portion 311 is used for detachably connecting with the cage 5, for example, being embedded and installed in the groove 51 of the cage 5 as Figure 7 shown. The first main body portion 311 can include a stop convex portion 3111 to facilitate the installation and fixation of the scraper 3, which will be described in detail below. The end of the second main body portion 312 opposite to the first main body portion 311 is connected to the flexible contact portion 32.

[0070] As Figure 6 shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the limiting member 4 can be a plate-like member generally in an L shape, including a first limiting plate 41 and a second limiting plate 42 extending at an angle from the first limiting plate 41. During installation, the limiting member 4 is placed on the side of the scraper 3 facing the door panel. The first limiting plate 41 can be attached to the cage 5, and at the same time, the second limiting plate 42 abuts against the second main body portion 312 of the scraper 3 and extends towards the flexible contact portion 32 to provide support below the flexible contact portion 32. An installation hole 411 is provided on the first limiting plate 41, and as Figure 6The surface of the first limiting plate 41 in contact with the cage is provided with a concave portion that cooperates with the stop convex portion 3111 of the first main body portion 311. The first limiting plate 41 can be fastened to the cage 5 by a screw member. Since the stop convex portion 3111 of the scraper is clamped between the surface of the first limiting plate 41 and the cage 5, the scraper 3 will be fixed together with the limiting member 4. The limiting member 4 is preferably arranged at an intermediate position of the cage 5 away from the end support, and one or more limiting members 4 can be arranged along the cage 5. Thus, the limiting member 4 acts as a spacer, restricting the distance between the cage 5 and the flexible contact portion 32 or the surface of the door panel, so that when the scraper 3 reciprocates on the surface of the door panel, the support of the limiting member 4 can avoid excessive friction caused by excessive contact between the flexible contact portion 32 and the surface of the shower room, resulting in inconvenient cleaning.

[0071] Although the limiting member 4 of the present application and its cooperation mode with the scraper 3 are described according to Figure 5 and Figure 6 those skilled in the art can understand that the limiting member and its fixing method of the present application are not limited thereto, but can be implemented in any suitable manner that those skilled in the art can think of, as long as it can support the flexible contact portion to avoid excessive contact with the door panel. For example, the limiting member can also be an elongated plate-shaped member, supported under the scraper in a rotatable manner to adjust the support angle as needed. Or, the limiting member can be fixed on the upper side of the scraper to lift and support the flexible contact portion of the scraper in a hanging manner to reduce the contact force. Or, the limiting member can also be a combination of the above two.

[0072] According to the above embodiment, the cleaning assembly further includes a first guiding assembly 6 and a second guiding assembly 7. The first guiding assembly 6 and the second guiding assembly 7 are respectively fixed at opposite ends of the cage 5 in the z-axis direction. The first moving member 62 is fixed to the cage 5 via the first guiding assembly 6, and the second moving member 73 is fixed to the cage 5 via the second guiding assembly 7. As Figure 8 shown, end plates are provided at both ends of the cage 5, and mounting holes 52 are formed in the end plates for connecting the first guiding assembly 6 and the second guiding assembly 7 by screw connection.

[0073] As Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the first guiding assembly 6 can be an elongated member, which is arranged along the first guiding rail 1 in the installed state. Two first moving members 62 are spaced apart and arranged on the side surface of the first guiding assembly 6 facing the first guiding rail 1. On the side surface of the second guiding assembly 7 facing the second guiding rail 2, a second moving member 73 is arranged. Thus, restricted by the first guiding rail 1, the two first moving members 62 and the second moving member 73 form a stable right triangle structure, thereby suppressing the phenomenon that the moving members on both sides tilt and jam due to asynchronism when moving along the guiding rail. For aesthetics, the second guiding assembly 7 is similar in external dimensions to an extension of the cage 5. It can be understood that the first guiding assembly can also be arranged like the second guiding assembly, with only one moving member provided.

[0074] As Figure 9 shown, the first guiding assembly 6 can include a first fixing bracket 61. The first fixing bracket 61 is provided with first fixing holes 611 corresponding to the mounting holes 52, so as to connect the first fixing bracket 61 and the cage 5 by means of, for example, threaded connection. And, on the side surface of the first fixing bracket 61 for fixing the first moving member 62, a generally cylindrical boss can be provided at each of the two ends, and the two first moving members 62 are rotatably fixed on the bosses.

[0075] Next, refer to Figures 10 to 12 , and describe the second guiding assembly 7 according to a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure. In addition to being used for connecting the cage 5 and the second moving member 73, the second guiding assembly 7 is also provided with an adjusting member for adjusting the positioning of the second moving member 73 in the z-axis direction, thereby changing the distance between the first moving member 62 and the second moving member 73 to match the distance between the first and second guiding rails installed on the shower door. Otherwise, during on-site installation, if the cage 5 is slightly longer due to errors, a suitable length can still be obtained by cutting. However, if the cage is slightly shorter, it will affect the installation and smooth operation of the entire cleaning assembly. The mechanisms capable of achieving such fine adjustment include, but are not limited to, for example, the cooperation of a sliding groove and a fixing member, the cooperation of a gear and a rack, the cooperation of a screw and a nut, the cooperation of a ratchet and a ratchet tooth, the cooperation of a card slot and a protrusion, and so on.

[0076] Considering that it is necessary to keep the contact between the roller and the track during travel to generate frictional force and thus push the roller forward, in order to provide the above adjustment and prevent the roller from idling, the present disclosure provides the following adjusting member. As Figure 10 shown, the second guiding assembly 4 includes a second fixing bracket 71 and an adjusting member 72. The adjusting member 72 includes an adjusting portion 721, a connecting portion 722, an elastic member 74, and a pin 723. The adjusting portion 721 can be provided with a generally cylindrical connecting portion 722 on the side surface facing the second guiding rail 2 for rotatably fixing the second moving member 73.

[0077] AsFigure 11 As shown, the second fixing bracket 71 is a hollow structure, including a first cover plate 711 and a second cover plate 712 arranged parallel to the x-axis - y-axis plane, and a first side plate 713 and a second side plate 714 arranged parallel to the x-axis - z-axis plane. One side of the second fixing bracket 71 facing the second guide rail 2 is open, and the side opposite to the open side is enclosed by a third side plate 715. For aesthetic purposes, the outer shape of the third side plate 715 is generally the same as the corresponding side of the cage 5. The accommodation cavity 716 is defined by the first cover plate 711, the second cover plate 712, the first side plate 713, the second side plate 714, and the third side plate 715 for accommodating the adjusting member 72. The first cover plate 711 is provided with a second fixing hole 7111 and a first pin hole 7112, and the second cover plate 712 is provided with a third fixing hole 7121 and a third pin hole 7122.

[0078] A screw member (not shown) can be screwed into the third fixing hole 7121, penetrate through the second fixing bracket 71, pass out from the second fixing hole 7111, and be threadedly connected to the corresponding mounting hole 52 on the cage 5, thereby detachably fixing the second guiding assembly 7 to the cage 5. The pin 723 can be inserted through the first pin hole 7112 and the third pin hole 7122.

[0079] As Figure 12 shown, the adjusting portion 721 and the connecting portion 722 are arranged in sequence along the reverse direction of the x-axis and formed as a whole in the installed state. The adjusting portion 721 can be placed in the accommodation cavity 716 through the opening of the second fixing bracket 71, and the connecting portion 722 protrudes out of the accommodation cavity 716 and the opening of the second fixing bracket 71. The overall contour of the adjusting portion 721 is adapted to the accommodation cavity, except that the height dimension along the z-axis direction is slightly smaller than the accommodation cavity 716, so that the adjusting portion 721 has a certain degree of freedom along the z-axis direction in the accommodation cavity 716. It can be understood that this degree of freedom does not refer to the gap caused by processing errors, but can cover the dimensional errors that may need to be compensated for the cage during the on-site installation of the shower room. Generally speaking, this dimensional error is about 2 mm, so the adjusting distance of the adjusting portion 721 and thus the second moving member 73 mounted on the connecting portion 722 in the z-axis direction can be set in the range of, for example, 4 - 5 mm.

[0080] The adjusting part 721 is respectively provided with an arc-shaped notch corresponding to the second fixing hole 7111 and the third fixing hole 7121 on two side parts close to the first side plate 713 and the second side plate 714, preferably a U-shaped notch 7211. The U-shaped notch 7211 is used to avoid the screw member for fixing the second guiding assembly 7, and enable the adjusting part 721 to be restricted between the screw members passing through the U-shaped notch 7211. The adjusting part 721 is also provided with a second pin hole 7212 penetrating through the adjusting part 721 and corresponding to the first pin hole 7112 and the third pin hole 7122 along the z-axis direction. The pin 723 passes through the first pin hole 7112, the second pin hole 7212 and the third pin hole 7122, and together with the two screw members passing through the second fixing hole 7111 and the third fixing hole 7121, forms a stable triangular structure, which can restrict the movement of the adjusting part 721 in the x-axis and y-axis directions and any rotation around the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis, so that the adjusting part 721 can only move along the z-axis direction in the accommodating cavity 716.

[0081] On the lower side of the adjusting part 721, that is, on the side facing the second cover plate 712, an annular groove 7213 concentrically arranged with the second pin hole 7212 is further provided around the second pin hole 7212. As Figure 12 shown, the annular groove 7213 only extends along a part of the height of the adjusting part 721 in the z-axis direction. An elastic member, such as a spring 74, is placed in the annular groove 7213 and at least partially protrudes from the annular groove 7213 to provide an upward pre-tightening force to the adjusting part 721. This elastic pre-tightening force can not only increase the friction force between the roller and the track, which is beneficial to the smooth operation of the cleaning assembly, but also reduce the abnormal noise generated by the vibration of the roller during the use of the cleaning assembly because the roller always abuts against the second guiding rail during the movement.

[0082] Taking the embodiment of the cleaning assembly shown in the figure as an example, during installation, first, the first guiding rail 1 and the second guiding rail 2 together with the shower door panel are fixed to the frame, and the first guiding part 11 and the second guiding part 21 are placed on one side of the door panel to be cleaned. Then, other parts of the cleaning assembly are assembled. The first main body part 311 of the scraper 3 is inserted into the groove 51 of the holder 5 until it is stuck at the position of the stop protrusion 3111. Then, the limiting member 4 is fixed in place so that the first limiting plate 41 presses on the stop protrusion 3111 and the second limiting plate 42 abuts against the second main body part 312, and the limiting member 4 and the scraper 3 are fastened to the holder with a screw member through the mounting hole 411 on the first limiting plate 41.

[0083] Next, assemble the first guiding component 6 located at the top end of the cage 5. First, the two rollers 62 can be respectively sleeved on the two cylindrical bosses of the first fixing frame 61, and then the rollers 62 are rotatably fastened to the bosses with fixing members such as screws from the central position. Then, place the first guiding component 6 perpendicular to the cage 5 so that the first fixing hole 611 at one end of the first guiding component 6 is aligned with the mounting hole 52 on the upper end plate of the cage 5, and the rollers 62 face the first mounting groove 12 of the first guiding rail 1. Finally, use screws to sequentially pass through the first fixing hole 611 and the mounting hole 52 from above to fix the first guiding component 6 to the cage 5.

[0084] At the bottom end of the cage 5, assemble the second guiding component 7. Similarly, the rollers 73 can also be rotatably fastened to the connecting portion 722 first. Then, place the elastic member 74 in the annular groove 7213 of the adjusting portion 721 and place it together with the adjusting portion 721 in the accommodating cavity 716 of the second fixing frame 71 in a compressed state, so that the second pin hole 7212 is aligned with the first pin hole 7112 and the third pin hole 7122, and the U-shaped notches 7211 on both sides of the adjusting portion 721 are respectively aligned with the corresponding second fixing holes 7111 and the third fixing holes 7121. Pass the pin 723 through the first pin hole 7112, the second pin hole 7212, and the third pin hole 7122 from top to bottom (in the reverse direction of the z-axis). To prevent the pin 723 from coming out of the pin hole, the third pin hole 7122 can be formed in a shape that gradually tapers from top to bottom, or a stop portion such as a protrusion can be provided at an appropriate position in the third pin hole 7122, or a larger diameter portion can be formed at the upper end of the pin 723. After the pin 723 is installed, pass two screws through the third fixing hole 7121, the U-shaped notch 7211, and the second fixing hole 7111 of the second guiding component 7 from below in sequence, and fix them to the mounting hole 52 on the lower end plate of the cage 5. At this time, under the action of the restoring force of the elastic member 74, the entire adjusting member 72 is in the highest position in the accommodating cavity 716, that is, the position where the distance between the first moving member 62 and the second moving member 73 is the shortest.

[0085] So far, the parts of the cleaning assembly other than the guide rails are assembled. Finally, the cleaning assembly is installed in the shower room by pushing the first moving member 62 and the second moving member 73 into the guide portions from the open sides of the corresponding guide rails and engaging them in the guide portions, and then closing the open sides of the guide rails. First, the first moving member 62 is engaged into the first guide portion 11. If the distance between the first moving member 62 and the second moving member 73 is slightly shorter and cannot match the distance between the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 2, the second moving member 73 can be pressed down to drive the adjusting portion 721 to move downward along the pin 723 together with the second moving member 73, so that the second moving member 73 can also be smoothly engaged into the second guide portion 21. While the adjusting portion 721 moves downward, the elastic member 74 is further compressed, thereby applying a greater elastic restoring force to the adjusting portion 721 and the second moving member 73. This elastic restoring force is selected to facilitate the smooth rolling of the first moving member 62 and the second moving member 73 within their respective guide rails. Thus, the adjusting member 72 can adjust the distance between the first moving member 62 and the second moving member 73 at both ends of the cage 5 to match the distance between the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 2 installed on the shower room. During the movement, the use of the elastic member 74 allows the distance between the first moving member 62 and the second moving member 73 to always adapt to the pitch of the guide rails at the location. Therefore, the adjusting member of the present disclosure can also adapt to the pitch changes between the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 2 at different positions, such as the pitch changes caused by the non-parallel installation of the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 2, or the pitch changes caused by debris entering the guide rails or the deformation of the guide rails.

[0086] Preferably, such parts are provided on both the first guide assembly 6 and the second guide assembly 7. The outer shape of these parts matches the outer shape of the corresponding parts of the cage 5. During assembly, the first guide assembly 6 and the second guide assembly 7 can be easily positioned by aligning the matching parts, so that when the first moving member 62 and the second moving member 73 are engaged in the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 2, the flexible contact portion 32 of the scraper 3 can abut against the surface of the shower room at a desired angle and force.

[0087] In addition, the present disclosure does not limit the shape of the elastic member 74. It can be a helical spring, an elastic metal strip / rubber strip, etc. The elastic member 74 can be a tensile elastic member or a compressive elastic member. When the positions of the first guide assembly and the second guide assembly are interchanged and the adjusting member 72 is applied to the upper guide assembly, the elastic member 74 can be a tensile spring.

[0088] The cleaning component for the shower room provided by the preferred embodiment of the present application is provided with a first guide rail 1, a second guide rail 2 and a holder 5 adapted to hold the scraper 3. By making the scraper 3 with a flexible contact part 32 contact the surface of the door panel, the scraper 3 can clean the surface of the door panel while moving on the surface of the door panel, so that the scraper 3 can slide across every part of the surface of the door panel at one time, achieving the purpose of quickly cleaning the water stains / stains on the surface of the door panel. Among them, the symmetric setting of the second guide rail 2 and the first guide rail 1 makes the cleaning operation more uniform and stable.

[0089] As mentioned above, the above are only the specific implementation manners of the embodiments of the present disclosure, but the protection scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the embodiments of the present disclosure can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should be covered within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
