Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of home decoration building materials and integrated bathrooms, and in particular to a connection structure between a back panel and a side panel, and a back panel or a side panel and an integrated bathroom comprising the connection structure. Background Art
[0002] The back and side panels are both part of the wall panels of a bathroom unit. During assembly, they need to be connected to form a stable frame. Traditional bathroom units require fasteners to connect the back and side panels, which, while structurally stable, is cumbersome.
[0003] There are also designs for the edge structures of the back panel and the side panels, relying on their own structures to achieve the connection between the two. For example, the U.S. patent application with publication number US20220313027A1, named Shower Assembly with Integrated Water Collection and Dispersion, discloses an integrated bathroom. By designing the edge structures of the back panel and the side panels, a guide cavity is formed at the connection between the back panel and the side panels, which is used to guide the bottom of the liquid to flow into the waterproof tray, while achieving the connection between the back panel and the side panels. However, the connection structure between the back panel and the side panels disclosed in this patent, although it can achieve the connection between the back panel and the side panels, still has the disadvantages of poor fit and poor stability; relying solely on the structure in this patent, it is impossible to achieve a good stable connection between the back panel and the side panels.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first extension plate is disposed perpendicularly to the side panel and the second extension plate, respectively. The side panel and the second extension plate are disposed parallel to each other. The hook portion is disposed perpendicularly to the second extension plate and horizontally to the first extension plate. The fourth extension plate, the sixth extension plate, the blocking portion, and the back panel are disposed parallel to each other. The seventh extension plate is disposed perpendicularly to the sixth extension plate. The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh extension plates all extend vertically, aligned with the vertical extension direction of the side or back panel, and have (substantially) the same height. The hook portion and the connecting plate are disposed vertically spaced apart on the second extension plate, and the blocking portion is disposed vertically spaced apart on the seventh extension plate.
[0029] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the second extension plate is disposed on the first extension plate, and the first extension plate is divided into a first step portion for mating with the back panel and a mating portion for mating with the hook portion to form a groove. The first step portion has an inclined surface on the side closest to the back panel, which slopes toward the back panel from closer to the second extension plate to away from the second extension plate, thereby forming a space for storing glue and achieving water blocking.
[0030] Preferably, the back panel and / or the side panel have a transverse reinforcing plate extending in the horizontal direction and a vertical reinforcing plate extending in the vertical direction, and the vertical reinforcing plate is perpendicular to the panel of the back panel or the side panel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0055] In order to help those skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0056] like Figure 1-20As shown, the integrated bathroom unit 1 in this embodiment includes a waterproof pan 2, a back panel 3, and two side panels 4. The two side panels 4 are connected to either side of the back panel 3, with a first connecting structure 5 between the back panel 3 and the side panels 4. The back panel 3 comprises multiple wall panels located on the same vertical plane, with a second connecting structure 6 provided between two adjacent wall panels. In this embodiment, the back panel 3 is composed of an upper wall panel 32 and a lower wall panel 33. The upper wall panel 32 has an inner cavity 34 for storing items. The two side panels 4 and the back panel 3 are located above the three edges of the waterproof pan 2. The back panel 3 is located above one long side of the waterproof pan 2, and the two side panels 4 are located above the two short sides of the waterproof pan 2. A third connecting structure 7 is provided between the back panel 3 or the side panels 4 and the waterproof pan 2. The back panel 3 and the side panels 4 are provided with horizontally extending transverse reinforcing plates 81 and / or vertically extending vertical reinforcing plates 82. The vertical reinforcing plates 82 are perpendicular to the panels of the back panel 3 or the side panels 4. In this embodiment, a concave drain outlet 21 is provided on the side of the waterproof tray 2 where there is no back plate 3 or side plate 4. The bottom surface of the groove of the drain outlet 21 gradually decreases from the side away from the waterproof tray 2 to the side close to the waterproof tray 2, so as to introduce water into the waterproof tray 2 to prevent it from spreading outward.
[0057] The following three connection structures are introduced:
[0058] (1) First connecting structure 5
[0059] like Figure 12 As shown, the first connecting structure 5 is disposed between the back panel 3 and the side panel 4, connecting the two panels. The first connecting structure 5 includes a first extension plate 51 disposed on the edge of the side panel 4, a second extension plate 52 and a hook 58, a connecting plate 59, and a first and second accommodating portions disposed on the edge of the back panel 3. The first extension plate 51 extends outward from the edge of the panel 41 of the side panel 4 along the direction in which the panel 31 of the back panel 3 extends. The second extension plate 52 is disposed on the first extension plate 51 and extends toward the first accommodating portion. The first accommodating portion is configured to accommodate the second extension plate 52, which is inserted into the first accommodating portion. The hook 58 is disposed on the second extension plate 52 and extends toward the second accommodating portion. The second accommodating portion is configured to accommodate the hook 58. The planes of the hook 58 and the second extension plate 52 are perpendicular to each other, and the accommodating directions (spaces) of the first and second accommodating portions are perpendicular. The connecting plate 59 is disposed between the top of the hook 58 and the first extension plate 51.
[0060] The first receiving portion has a first receiving groove 511 for receiving the second extension plate 52; the second receiving portion has a second receiving groove 512 for receiving the hook portion 58. The opening directions of the first receiving groove 511 and the second receiving groove 512 are perpendicular to each other. The second receiving portion has a blocking portion 510 extending toward the second extension plate 52. A groove 513 is formed between the hook portion 58 and the first extension plate 51. The blocking portion 510 is received in the groove 513. That is, when the back panel 3 and the side panel 4 are assembled, the hook portion 58 is inserted into the second receiving groove 512, and correspondingly, the blocking portion 510 is inserted into the groove 513. Figure 10 、 12 In this embodiment, the first receiving groove 511 is continuously arranged along the vertical direction, and its length is the same as the overall height of the back panel 3. Correspondingly, the second extension plate 52 on the side panel 4 is also continuously arranged. That is, the first extension plate 51 and the second extension plate 52 are continuously arranged at the edge of the side panel 4, forming a concave step. The edge of the back panel 31 and the third extension plate 53 form a convex step that matches the concave step. The two are combined to achieve positioning and connection.
[0061] The end of the first extension plate 51 is flush with the end of the hook portion 58 away from the second extension plate 52. The second extension plate 52 is arranged on the first extension plate 51, and the first extension plate 51 is divided into a first step portion for cooperating with the back panel 31 and a matching portion for cooperating with the hook portion 58 to form a groove 513. The side of the first step portion close to the back panel 3 is a slope, and the slope is inclined toward the back panel 3 from the side close to the second extension plate 52 to the direction away from the second extension plate 52, which is used to form a certain glue storage space to achieve water blocking. The slope of the first step portion is set so that the distance between it and the back panel 31 gradually decreases from the side away from the second extension plate 52 to the direction close to the second extension plate 52, which can prevent water from penetrating inward along the gap between the back panel 3 and the side panel 4 when glue is missing to a certain extent.
[0062] The thickness of the hook portion 58 gradually decreases from the side close to the second extension plate 52 to the side away from the second extension plate 52. Figure 12As shown, from a vertical perspective (top view), the side of the hook portion 58 near the blocking portion 510 is an inclined surface, which is inclined toward the blocking portion 510 along the direction from the second extension plate 52 to the blocking portion 510. Simultaneously, another inclined surface is provided on the first extension plate 51 at a position corresponding to the hook portion 58, which is also inclined toward the blocking portion 510 along the direction from the second extension plate 52 to the blocking portion 510. A groove 513 is formed between the two inclined surfaces, with the thickness of the groove 513 gradually increasing from the side near the second extension plate 52 to the side away from the second extension plate 52, that is, gradually decreasing from the side near the blocking portion 510 to the side near the second extension plate 52. This allows the back panel 3 and side panels 4 to be installed in place, and the gradually tightening groove 513 clamps the blocking portion 510, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the back panel 3 and the side panels 4.
[0063] like Figure 10 As shown, from a horizontal perspective (side view), the side of the hook portion 58 proximal to the blocking portion 510 is an inclined surface that slopes downward toward the blocking portion 510. Another inclined surface is provided on the first extension plate 51 at a position corresponding to the hook portion 58, also sloping downward toward the blocking portion 510. A groove 513 is formed between the two inclined surfaces, such that the thickness of the groove 513 gradually increases from top to bottom, that is, the thickness of the groove 513 gradually increases from the side proximal to the connecting plate 59 to the side distal to the connecting plate 59. The thickness of the blocking portion 510 gradually increases from the side proximal to the connecting plate 59 to the side distal to the connecting plate 59, facilitating insertion. Preferably, the angle between the surface of the blocking portion 510 and the vertical direction is greater than the angle between the inner sidewall of the groove 513 and the vertical direction. This ensures that, once inserted, the blocking portion 510 is clamped in the groove 513, while the hook portion 58 is clamped in the second receiving slot 512.
[0064] That is, the surfaces of the hook portion 58 and the groove 513 in this embodiment have an inclined setting in two dimensions: viewed in the horizontal direction, the two side surfaces in the thickness direction of the blocking portion 510 are inclined surfaces, and the inclination direction is inclined from bottom to top toward the connecting plate 59, cooperating with the hook portion 58 and the inclined surface on the corresponding first extension plate 51, that is, the thickness of the groove 513 and the thickness of the blocking portion 510 gradually decrease from bottom to top, and the inclination degree of the inclined surface is set, which not only facilitates the insertion and installation of the groove 513 and the blocking portion 510, but also enables the blocking portion 510 to be clamped by the gradually tightened groove 513 after the back panel 3 and the side panel 4 are installed in place, so that the connection between the back panel 3 and the side panel 4 is stable; viewed in the vertical direction, the thickness of the groove 513 gradually decreases from the side away from the second extension plate 52 to the side close to the second extension plate 52, so that the blocking portion 510 is clamped in the groove 513 after being inserted into place.
[0065] A first guide surface 514 is provided at the bottom end of the hook portion 58, near the blocking portion 510. A second guide surface 515 is provided at the top end of the blocking portion 510, near the hook portion 58. A third guide surface 516 is provided at the bottom end of the inclined surface of the first extension plate 51, corresponding to the hook portion 58. A fourth guide surface 517 is provided at the end of the second extension plate 52, away from the first extension plate 51, to facilitate insertion into the first receiving groove 511. The guide surfaces are arcuate or inclined.
[0066] The first accommodating portion includes, in sequence, a third extension plate 53, a fourth extension plate 54, and a fifth extension plate 55. The third extension plate 53 and the fifth extension plate 55 are located at either end of the fourth extension plate 54. The third extension plate 53 is formed by extending the front panel 31 of the back panel 3 away from the side panel 4. The third, fourth, and fifth extension plates 53, 54, 55 form a first accommodating groove 511 for accommodating the second extension plate 52. The fourth extension plate 54 extends from the end of the third extension plate 53 along the front panel 31 of the back panel 3. The fifth extension plate 55 extends from the end of the fourth extension plate 54 toward the first extension plate 51. The distance between the third extension plate 53 and the fifth extension plate 55 gradually increases from the side closest to the fourth extension plate 54 to the side further away from the fourth extension plate 54.
[0067] like Figure 12 As shown, vertically, the inner side surfaces of the third and fifth extension plates 53 and 55 near the second extension plate 52 are inclined, sloping from proximal to distal to the fourth extension plate 54 toward the first extension plate 51. This allows the first receiving groove 511 to gradually tighten along the insertion direction of the second extension plate 52, clamping the second extension plate 52 and ensuring a secure connection between the back plate 3 and the side plate 4. Preferably, the third and fifth extension plates 53 and 55 are arranged as a whole at an angle to achieve this effect. That is, the third, fourth, and fifth extension plates 53, 54, and 55 form a "π" or "π" structure to mate with the second extension plate 52.
[0068] The second receiving portion includes a sixth extension plate 56 and a seventh extension plate 57. A blocking portion 510 is disposed on the seventh extension plate 57 and extends toward the second extension plate 52. A second receiving slot 512 for receiving the hook portion 58 is formed between the blocking portion 510 and the sixth extension plate 56. Openings 518 are provided on the sixth extension plate 56 corresponding to the hook portion 58 and the blocking portion 510 to facilitate installation, observation, preparation, and disassembly.
[0069] The second extension plate 52 is provided with a plurality of hooks 58 along the vertical direction, and the seventh extension plate 57 is provided with a plurality of corresponding blocking portions 510 along the vertical direction. Figure 9As shown, a first connecting structure 5 (hook 58, connecting plate 59 and blocking portion 510) is provided at the positions where the upper, middle and lower parts of the upper wall panel 32 and the lower wall panel 33 are connected to the side panel 4, and the first accommodating groove 511, the first extension plate 51 and the second extension plate 52 are continuously arranged.
[0070] In this embodiment, the first extension plate 51 is perpendicular to the panel 41 of the side panel 4 and the second extension plate 52, respectively. The panel 41 of the side panel 4 and the second extension plate 52 are parallel to each other. The hook portion 58 is perpendicular to the second extension plate 52 and horizontal to the first extension plate 51. The fourth extension plate 54, the sixth extension plate 56, the blocking portion 510, and the panel 31 of the back panel 3 are parallel to each other. The seventh extension plate 57 is perpendicular to the sixth extension plate 56. The first extension plate 51, the second extension plate 52, the third extension plate 53, the fourth extension plate 54, the fifth extension plate 55, the sixth extension plate 56, and the seventh extension plate 57 all extend vertically, aligned with the vertical extension direction of the side panel 4 or the back panel, and have (substantially) the same height. The hook portion 58 and the connecting plate 59 are vertically spaced apart on the second extension plate 52. The blocking portion 510 and the opening 518 are vertically spaced apart on the seventh extension plate 57.
[0071] From a vertical perspective, the side of the hook 58 close to the sixth extension plate 56 is inclined, and the inclined surface is inclined from close to the second extension plate 52 to away from the second extension plate 52 toward the opening 518, and through the inclined setting of the inner side surfaces of the third extension plate 53 and the fifth extension plate 55, the inclined surface of the first step portion, the second extension plate being smaller than the depth and minimum width of the first accommodating groove 511, etc., the glue is stored and overflowed, and the connection and sealing are achieved, while at the same time, water is prevented from penetrating inward along the gap to a certain extent.
[0072] The first connecting structure 5 of the present invention is configured by providing a hook portion 58 and a second extension plate 52 that are perpendicular to each other and a first accommodating portion and a second accommodating portion that are perpendicular to each other. The second extension plate 52 is accommodated and inserted into the first accommodating portion, and the hook portion 58 is accommodated in the second accommodating portion, so that after the back panel 3 and the side panel 4 are combined, they cannot move in the horizontal front-to-back direction and left-to-right direction, thereby achieving a stable connection.
[0073] (2) Second connecting structure 6
[0074] The back panel 3 in this embodiment includes an upper wall panel 32 and a lower wall panel 33. The second connecting structure 6 is located between the upper wall panel 32 and the lower wall panel 33, and includes a bottom panel 61 located at the bottom of the upper wall panel 32 and a top panel 62 located at the top of the lower wall panel 33. The bottom panel 61 and the top panel 62 are formed by extending the panels of the upper wall panel 32 and the lower wall panel 33 outward respectively. The bottom panel 61 has a positioning block 63 extending toward the top panel 62, and the top panel 62 has a positioning groove 64 for accommodating the positioning block 63. The positioning block 63 is inserted into the positioning groove 64. Figure 6 shown.
[0075] The top panel 62 has a limiting plate 65 at one end, away from the lower wall panel 33, extending toward the upper wall panel 32. The bottom panel 61 is located between the upper wall panel 32 and the limiting plate 65. The height of the limiting plate 65 is greater than the thickness of the bottom panel 61. A vertical reinforcing plate 82, perpendicular to the wall panel, is provided between the bottom surface of the top panel 62 and the lower wall panel 33.
[0076] The thickness of the bottom plate 61 decreases from the side away from the limiting plate 65 to the side closer to the limiting plate 65, reaching its thickest position corresponding to the positioning groove 64. The end of the bottom plate 61 away from the limiting plate 65 has a groove 9 extending vertically and horizontally. The groove 9 accommodates a certain volume of water and disperses and guides it, preventing it from accumulating in the gap between the upper wall panel 32 and the lower wall panel 33 and seeping inward.
[0077] The height of positioning block 63 is less than the depth of positioning groove 64, and the width of positioning block 63 is less than the width of positioning groove 64. The thickness of positioning block 63 gradually decreases from top to bottom, facilitating insertion and fit. A certain space is formed between positioning block 63 and the inner wall of positioning groove 64 to allow for sealing by retaining the glue.
[0078] Positioning blocks 63 are disposed continuously or at intervals on bottom plate 61; correspondingly, positioning grooves 64 are disposed continuously or at intervals on top plate 62. In this embodiment, positioning blocks 63 and positioning grooves 64 are preferably disposed continuously, and their length is consistent with the overall width of back panel 31, that is, positioning groove 64 is a single long groove.
[0079] The bottom plate 61 includes a first support portion and a second support portion, with the positioning block 63 located between the first support portion and the second support portion. The first support portion is close to the upper wall panel 32 or the lower wall panel 33, and the second support portion is close to the limiting plate 65. Preferably, the length of the first support portion is shorter than the length of the second support portion, that is, the positioning block 63 is arranged closer to the panel of the back panel 3.
[0080] The first support portion has an inclined surface on its side near the lower wall panel 33. This surface slopes from near the positioning block 63 to away from the positioning block 63, toward the lower wall panel 33. This creates a space for rubber to be stored, thereby blocking water and preventing water from seeping inward. The bottom surface of the second support portion is higher than the bottom surface of the first support portion, thereby ensuring rubber storage.
[0081] The second connecting structure 6 of the present invention comprises a bottom plate 61 disposed at the bottom of the upper wall panel 32 and a top plate 62 disposed at the top of the lower wall panel 33. The top plate 62 supports the upper wall panel 32 and the bottom plate 61. Positioning blocks 63 are provided on the bottom plate 61, and positioning grooves 64 are provided on the top plate 62 to achieve a fixed connection between the upper wall panel 32 and the lower wall panel 33. This structure, in conjunction with the first connecting structure 5, provides a secure connection between the back panel 3 and the side panels 4.
[0082] (3) Third connecting structure 7
[0083] The third connection structure 7 is arranged between the back plate 3 or the side plate 4 and the waterproof tray 2, and is similar to the second connection structure 6, including a second bottom plate 71 arranged at the bottom of the panel of the back plate 3 or the side plate 4 and a second top plate 72 arranged at the top of the edge of the waterproof tray 2. The second bottom plate 71 is supported on the second top plate 72. The second bottom plate 71 has an insertion block 73 extending toward the second top plate 72, and the second top plate 72 has an insertion groove 74 corresponding to the insertion block 73. The second top plate 72 has a second limiting plate 75 extending toward the back plate 3 or the side plate 4 on the side away from the waterproof tray 2. The insertion block 73 and the insertion groove 74 are arranged close to the second limiting plate 75. In this embodiment, the insertion block 73 and the insertion groove 74 are arranged at intervals.
[0084] The vertical plane on which the insertion block 73 and insertion slot 74 of the third connecting structure 7 are located is located on two different planes than the vertical plane on which the positioning block 63 and positioning slot 64 of the second connecting structure 6 are located. Specifically, in this embodiment, the insertion block 73 and insertion slot 74 are disposed at the end of the second bottom plate 71 away from the back panel 31, while the positioning block 63 and positioning slot 64 of the second connecting structure 6 are disposed closer to the back panel 31. By arranging the insertion block 73 and insertion slot 74 of the third connecting structure 7 on different vertical planes than the positioning block 63 and positioning slot 64 of the second connecting structure 6, the support and connection effects are further enhanced, ensuring the verticality of the panels and the stability of the connection.
[0085] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, viewed horizontally, similar to the second connecting structure 6, the insertion block 73 is smaller than the insertion slot 74. The inner sidewall of the insertion slot 74 is inclined to facilitate the storage of glue. Furthermore, the side of the second bottom plate 71 near the second top plate 72 is inclined, sloping toward the waterproof tray 2 from the second limiting plate 75 to the waterproof tray 2, similarly trapping the glue and preventing water from seeping into the gap.
[0086] In this embodiment, in the first connecting structure 5, the second connecting structure 6, and the third connecting structure 7, the two plates are arranged non-parallel on the side close to the shower space (above the waterproof tray). For example, in the first connecting structure 5, the first step portion of the first extension plate 51 is an inclined surface on the side close to the back plate 3; in the second connecting structure 6, the first support portion of the bottom plate 61 is an inclined surface on the side close to the lower wall plate 33; in the third connecting structure 7, the second bottom plate 71 is an inclined surface on the side close to the second top plate 72; this causes the gap to gradually decrease from the side close to the waterproof tray to the side away from the waterproof tray, with the gap being the largest on the side close to the waterproof tray, which can prevent water from penetrating inward along the gap to a certain extent when no glue is applied or glue is missing.
[0087] In this embodiment, mounting plates 10 extend outward from the top of the back panel 3, the top of the side panels 4, and the edge of the side panels 4 facing away from the back panel 3. Mounting holes 11 are defined in mounting plates 10 for securing to a keel or wall. Mounting holes 11 in this embodiment are tapered and non-through, meaning their depth is less than the thickness of mounting plates 10, enabling better securement.
[0088] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
