Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shower doors, in particular to a shower door device. Background Art

[0002] Shower doors are used to be arranged in the bathroom to separate and form a shower room. Figure 1-2 As shown, the shower door comprises a fixed door 1', an active sliding door 2', and a driven sliding door 3'. Below the fixed door 1' is a guide rail 4' installed on the bathroom floor. The rail 4' is connected to the wall at both ends, serving as a bathroom partition and a water barrier. The active sliding door 2' and the driven sliding door 3' are slidably connected to the guide rail 4'. When the shower door is open, the active sliding door 2' is positioned away from the fixed door 1', while the driven sliding door 3' is roughly positioned between them. When the shower door is retracted, the driven sliding door 3' slides to the back of the fixed door 1', while the active sliding door 2' slides to the back of the driven sliding door 3'. When the user pushes or pulls the shower door to open or retract, they typically push or pull the active sliding door 2', with the driven sliding door 3' following suit. Therefore, the two associated doors are referred to as the active sliding door and the driven sliding door, respectively.

[0003] To ensure that the active sliding door 2' and the driven sliding door 3' respectively engage with the guide rail 4', conventional guide rails 4' generally have two guide rail grooves 41' on their back sides. A guide hook 5' is connected to the bottom of the active sliding door 2', and a guide hook 6' is connected to the bottom of the driven sliding door 3', respectively, to slideably engage with the two guide rail grooves 41'.

[0004] like Figure 1 As shown, two guide rail grooves 41' are arranged side by side inside and outside. To prevent interference between the guide hook 5' and the guide hook 6', the end of the guide hook 6' is installed in the inner guide rail groove 41'. The guide hook 5' passes around the inner side and bottom of the guide hook 6' and then installs in the outer guide rail groove 41'. This method design makes the guide hook 5' larger in size, requires more installation space, and has a complex installation structure.

[0005] like Figure 2 As shown, the two guide rail grooves 41' are arranged in an upper and lower staggered manner, and the inner guide rail groove 41' is lower than the outer guide rail groove 41'. The guide hook 6' is L-shaped, and its end is equipped with a roller 7', and the roller 7' fits in the upper and outer guide rail groove 41'. The guide hook 5' is L-shaped, and its end is equipped with a roller 7', and the roller 7' fits in the lower and inner guide rail groove 41'. This method requires a larger vertical and horizontal space for installing the guide hook 5' and the guide hook 6', and the structural design of the guide rail is complex and the structural dimensions of the guide rail are large.

[0043] like Figure 3-4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 9 and Figure 12-15 As shown, a shower door device provided by one embodiment of the present invention includes a first guide rail 200 and a door assembly 100 assembled on the first guide rail 200 .

[0044] The door assembly 100 includes an active sliding door 2 and a passive sliding door 3 . A first guide 21 and a second guide 22 are provided at intervals at the bottom of the active sliding door 2 , and a second guide rail 31 and a third guide 32 are provided at the bottom of the passive sliding door 3 .

[0045] The first guide member 21 and the third guide member 32 are respectively slidably connected to the first guide rail 200 , and the second guide member 22 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 31 .

[0046] The shower door device provided by the present invention comprises a first guide rail 200 and a door assembly 100. The first guide rail 200 is a partition provided on the bathroom floor, which plays a water-isolating role and is also used as a bottom threshold beam of the door assembly 100.

[0047] The door assembly 100 includes an active sliding door 2 and a driven sliding door 3. Of course, the door assembly 100 can also be provided with a fixed door 1 as needed. The active sliding door 2 can be provided with a door handle as needed for the user to hold and push the active sliding door 2.

[0048] In the present invention, the direction in which the active sliding door 2 is opened relative to the driven sliding door 3 is referred to as the front, and the direction in which the active sliding door 2 is retracted toward the driven sliding door 3 is referred to as the rear. The side of the active sliding door 2 and the driven sliding door 3 facing the shower room is referred to as the back side or the inner side, and the side of the active sliding door 2 and the driven sliding door 3 facing away from the shower room is referred to as the front side or the outer side.

[0049] The bottom of the active sliding door 2 is provided with a first guide member 21 and a second guide member 22, which are spaced apart along the front-to-back direction. The first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22 extend outward. The first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22 can be a flat plate, an L-shaped plate, a hook, or other guide structure.

[0050] The bottom of the driven sliding door 3 is provided with a second guide rail 31 and a third guide member 32. The second guide rail 31 forms the bottom frame of the driven sliding door 3 and is parallel to and located inside the first guide rail 200. The front end of the second guide rail 31 can extend beyond the front frame of the driven sliding door 3 to engage with the second guide member 22. The second guide member 22 can also extend beyond the rear frame of the active sliding door 2 to engage with the second guide rail 31. In this case, the front end of the second guide rail 31 does not need to extend beyond the front frame of the driven sliding door 3.

[0051] The third guide member 32 can be mounted on the second guide rail 31 or on the driven sliding door 3. The third guide member 32 extends outward and can be a flat plate, an L-shaped plate, a hook, or other guide structure. The number and specific installation positions of the third guide members 32 can be set as needed.

[0052] The active sliding door 2 is located inside the driven sliding door 3 . In the inward-outward direction, the length of the first guide member 21 is longer than the length of the second guide member 22 and is also longer than the length of the third guide member 32 .

[0053] During assembly, the first guide member 21 and the third guide member 32 are slidably connected to the first guide rail 200, and the second guide member 22 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 31. The front end of the active sliding door 2 is slidably assembled with the first guide rail 200 via the first guide member 21, the rear end of the active sliding door 2 is slidably assembled with the second guide rail 31 via the second guide member 22, and the driven sliding door 3 is slidably assembled with the first guide rail 200 via the third guide member 32. The first guide rail 200 is provided with a guide structure, such as a guide groove or a guide cam. Correspondingly, the first guide member 21 and the third guide member 32 are also provided with guide structures, such as guide cams or guide grooves. The guide cams slidably cooperate with the guide grooves to achieve sliding guidance. The front and rear ends of the first guide rail 200 are provided with front and rear stop structures for limiting the position of the first guide rail 200 and the third guide member 32. The stop structures can be the front and rear end walls of the guide groove or the front and rear baffles of the guide cam.

[0054] The second guide rail 31 is provided with a guiding structure, such as a guide groove or guide protrusion. Correspondingly, the second guide member 22 is provided with a guiding structure, such as a guide protrusion or guide groove. The guide protrusion and the guide groove slidably cooperate to provide sliding guidance. Front and rear stop structures are provided at the front and rear ends of the second guide rail 31 to limit the position of the second guide member 22. These stop structures can be the front and rear end walls of the guide groove or the front and rear stop plates of the guide protrusion.

[0055] With this arrangement, the first guide member 21 no longer needs to bypass the third guide member 32, and the second guide member 22 no longer needs to be assembled with the first guide rail 200. Instead, the first guide member 21 and the third guide member 32 can be assembled on the same guide structure of the first guide rail 200 without interfering with each other. This eliminates the need for two guide structures on the first guide rail 200, simplifying the structure of the first guide rail 200 and reducing its dimensions, particularly its height. The first and third guide members 21 and 32 are separately slidably assembled with the first guide rail 200, and the second guide member 22 is slidably assembled with the second guide rail 31 at the bottom of the driven sliding door 3. This simplifies the connection structure and method between the active sliding door 2, the driven sliding door 3, and the first guide rail 200. The slidably assembled second guide member 22 with the second guide rail 31 at the bottom of the driven sliding door 3 also improves the linkage performance between the driven sliding door 3 and the active sliding door 2. Specifically, when the active sliding door 2 is pulled forward, after the second guide member 22 is pulled forward to the front stop structure of the second guide rail 31, it will drive the driven sliding door 3 forward; when the active sliding door 2 is pushed backward, after the second guide member 22 is pushed backward to the rear stop structure of the second guide rail 31, it will drive the driven sliding door 3 backward.
