Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of machinery and relates to a connecting mechanism between a middle cross beam and a glass plate of a shower door. Background Art

[0002] A shower door is a door installed in a shower room to isolate the shower area from other parts of the bathroom. Its main function is to prevent water from splashing out of the shower area during showering, keep the bathroom floor dry, and at the same time beautify the bathroom environment.

[0003] A shower door usually includes a cross beam and a glass plate. The cross beam is made of metal material, and the glass plate is fixedly connected to the cross beam through fasteners.

[0004] It can be seen that the above-mentioned fasteners will be exposed outside, resulting in an uncompact structure. Moreover, after the user touches the protruding fasteners, scratches may be caused, and the safety is not high.

[0005] At the same time, the touched fasteners may become loose, resulting in the failure of the fasteners and ultimately affecting the stability of the entire shower door. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a connecting mechanism between a middle cross beam and a glass plate of a shower door with a compact structure and high stability in view of the above problems existing in the prior art.

[0007] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0008] A connecting mechanism between a middle cross beam and a glass plate of a shower door. The shower door includes a horizontally arranged and strip-shaped cross beam and a plate-shaped glass plate made of glass material. The connecting mechanism is located between the cross beam and the glass plate and includes a first fastener, a first clamping plate, a second clamping plate, and a second fastener. The inside of the cross beam is a cavity and there is a through mounting hole at the bottom of the cross beam. The upper end of the first clamping plate passes through the mounting hole and is arranged in the cross beam, and the upper end of the first clamping plate is connected to the cross beam through the first fastener. The second clamping plate is located at the side of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate is fixedly connected to the first clamping plate through the second fastener. A clamping notch is formed between the lower part of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate, and the glass plate is embedded at the clamping notch.

[0009] In the connecting mechanism between the middle cross beam and the glass plate of the above-mentioned shower door, the first clamping plate includes a block-shaped connecting block and a flat plate-shaped base plate. The base plate is fixedly connected to the lower part of the connecting block and the base plate is located at the side of the connecting block. The connecting block passes through the mounting hole.

[0010] In the connecting mechanism between the middle cross beam and the glass plate of the above-mentioned shower door, the connecting block matches the mounting hole.

[0011] In the connecting mechanism between the middle crossbeam and the glass plate of the above-mentioned shower door, the first fastener is a number of screws. The screw heads are penetrated through the crossbeam and the screw heads are tightly pressed against the upper end of the crossbeam. The threaded connection section of the screw is threadedly connected to the connection block.

[0012] In the connecting mechanism between the middle crossbeam and the glass plate of the above-mentioned shower door, the side of the connection block has a protruding limiting edge, and the limiting edge abuts against the lower port of the mounting hole of the crossbeam.

[0013] In the connecting mechanism between the middle crossbeam and the glass plate of the above-mentioned shower door, the upper end of the substrate has a connecting portion protruding towards the side. A connecting shaft is also included. The lower end of the connecting shaft is axially fixed at the connecting portion, and the upper end of the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the lower part of the connection block.

[0014] In the connecting mechanism between the middle crossbeam and the glass plate of the above-mentioned shower door, the upper end of the substrate has a connecting portion protruding towards the side. A connecting shaft is also included. The upper end of the connecting shaft is axially fixed at the lower part of the connection block, and the lower end of the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the connecting portion.

[0015] In the connecting mechanism between the middle crossbeam and the glass plate of the above-mentioned shower door, the connecting portion and the substrate are of an integral structure and are made of a metal material.

[0016] In the connecting mechanism between the middle crossbeam and the glass plate of the above-mentioned shower door, the second fastener is a number of screws, and the screws are penetrated and connected to the substrate and the second clamping plate.

[0017] In the connecting mechanism between the middle crossbeam and the glass plate of the above-mentioned shower door, the glass plate has a through avoiding hole, and the middle part of the second fastener is penetrated through the avoiding hole.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, in the connecting mechanism between the middle crossbeam and the glass plate of the present shower door, since the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece are connected by the second fastener, and the first clamping piece is connected to the crossbeam by the first fastener, the glass plate is positioned between the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece. Therefore, the glass plate and the crossbeam are stably connected together indirectly through the present connecting mechanism.

[0019] Since the first fastener is located inside the crossbeam and the first clamping piece, and the second fastener is located inside the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece, therefore, the first and second fasteners in the whole connecting mechanism will not be overly exposed outside, and the overall structure is relatively compact.

[0020] At the same time, since the contact area between the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece and the glass plate is relatively large, therefore, the connection stability between the crossbeam and the glass plate is relatively high, and it has high practical value.

[0028] As Figure 1 shown, the shower door includes a horizontally arranged and elongated middle crossbeam 1 and a plate-shaped glass plate 2 made of glass material.

[0029] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the connecting mechanism between the middle crossbar and the glass plate of this shower door is located between the crossbar 1 and the glass plate 2, and includes the first fastener 3, the first clamping plate 5, the second clamping plate 6 and the second fastener 4. The inside of the above-mentioned crossbar 1 is a cavity and there is a through mounting hole 1a at the bottom of the crossbar 1. The upper end of the above-mentioned first clamping plate 5 is passed through the mounting hole 1a and is arranged inside the crossbar 1, and the upper end of the first clamping plate 5 is connected to the crossbar 1 through the first fastener 3. The above-mentioned second clamping plate 6 is located on the side of the first clamping plate 5, and the second clamping plate 6 is fixedly connected to the first clamping plate 5 through the second fastener 4. A clamping notch is formed between the lower part of the above-mentioned first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 6, and the above-mentioned glass plate 2 is embedded at the clamping notch.

[0030] The first fastener 3 is located between the crossbar and the glass plate 2. At the same time, the first fastener 3 is embedded in the crossbar 1. Therefore, the first fastener is concealed.

[0031] The second fastener 4 is passed through the first clamping plate 5 and the clamping plate 6, and the second fastener is concealed. The first clamping plate and the second clamping plate exposed between the crossbar and the glass plate are closely attached to both sides of the glass plate. Therefore, the whole mechanism is not only relatively compact, but also can stably connect the glass plate to the crossbar.

[0032] The above-mentioned first clamping plate 5 includes a block-shaped connecting block 5a and a flat substrate 5b. The above-mentioned substrate 5b is fixedly connected to the lower part of the connecting block 5a and the substrate 5b is located at the side of the connecting block 5a. The above-mentioned connecting block 5a is passed through the mounting hole 1a.

[0033] The above-mentioned connecting block 5a matches the mounting hole 1a.

[0034] After the connecting block is embedded in the mounting hole of the crossbar, the connecting block can be prevented from being exposed outside. Since the first fastener is connected to the connecting block, finally the lower end of the first fastener is prevented from being exposed outside.

[0035] The matching of the connecting block 5a and the mounting hole 1a can improve the connection stability between the connecting block and the crossbar.

[0036] The above-mentioned first fastener 3 is a number of screws. The screw heads are passed through the crossbar 1 and the screw heads are tightly pressed against the upper end of the crossbar 1. The threaded connection section of the screw is threadedly connected to the connecting block 5a.

[0037] Multiple first fasteners can effectively improve the connection stability between the crossbar and the first clamping piece.

[0038] The side of the above-mentioned connecting block 5a has a protruding limiting edge 5a1, and the above-mentioned limiting edge 5a1 abuts against the lower port of the mounting hole 1a of the crossbar 1.

[0039] The size of the limiting edge is larger than the size of the mounting hole. Therefore, after the limiting edge abuts against the lower port of the mounting hole of the crossbar, the connecting block cannot extend into the crossbar excessively, playing a limiting role.

[0040] The base plate 5b has a connecting portion 5b1 protruding toward the side at the upper end, and also includes a connecting shaft 7, the lower end of which is axially fixed at the connecting portion 5b1, and the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the lower part of the connecting block 5a.

[0041] The connection portion provides enough space for the connection shaft 7. Since the substrate and the glass plate are in surface contact, when there is a slight deviation between the beam and the glass plate, the substrate can rotate adaptively, ultimately ensuring a stable surface contact connection between the substrate and the glass plate.

[0042] The substrate and the connecting block may also be connected in another way, namely: the upper end of the substrate 5b has a connecting portion 5b1 protruding to the side, and also includes a connecting shaft 7, the upper end of the connecting shaft 7 is axially fixed to the lower part of the connecting block 5a, and the lower end of the connecting shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 5b1.

[0043] Similarly, such a structure can also ensure stable surface contact between the substrate and the glass plate.

[0044] The connecting portion 5b1 and the substrate 5b are integrated into one structure and are made of metal.

[0045] Both the first splint and the second splint are made of metal material, which can effectively ensure that they have sufficient strength.

[0046] The second fastener 4 is a plurality of screws, which are penetrated and connected to the base plate 5b and the second clamping plate 6.

[0047] The glass plate 2 is provided with a through avoidance hole 2a, and the middle portion of the second fastener is penetrated through the avoidance hole 2a.

[0048] The two ends of the second fastener are connected to the base plate and the second clamping plate respectively, so the second fastener will not be exposed to the outside too much, which effectively improves the compactness of the structure.

[0049] In the connection mechanism between the cross beam and the glass plate in the shower door, the glass plate and the cross beam are indirectly and stably connected by fastener 1, fastener 2, clip 1 and clip 2. Since fastener 1 and fastener 2 are not excessively exposed to the outside, the structural compactness of the entire mechanism is relatively high.

[0050] At the same time, the base plate in the first clamping plate can rotate relative to the connecting block, which can avoid too high position accuracy requirements for the glass plate and the beam during installation, and can make the base plate and the second clamping plate stably contact the two sides of the glass plate, and its stability is relatively high.

[0051] 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.

[0052] Those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. As long as appropriate changes and modifications are made to the above embodiments within the scope of the spirit of the present utility model, they fall within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.
