Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shower home technology and belongs to a type of interconnected shower screen. Background Technology
[0002] Interlocking shower screens, also known as three-way shower enclosures or shower partitions, are a modern bathroom design that uses three or more doors to open in unison, effectively isolating the shower area and flexibly utilizing the space. The interlocking design allows the shower enclosure to occupy less space when open, while ensuring a spacious and airy feel in the shower area.
[0003] In existing technologies, interlocking shower screen door panels move between each other using chain mechanisms or gear structures. However, such structures are often complex, heavy, and expensive, which is not conducive to cost savings or practical installation. Furthermore, these mechanisms are usually installed in a flat layout, requiring more space for installation. However, the space available for installing the interlocking components is limited, which is not conducive to the installation of the interlocking mechanism. In addition, during long-term use, insect carcasses or other particulate debris can easily accumulate on the interlocking components, which can adversely affect the interlocking process.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a linked shower screen, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit its scope. Furthermore, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concepts of this utility model.
[0021] See Figure 1 This utility model provides a linked shower screen, including a fixed plate 1, an active plate 2, and a driven plate 3. Both the fixed plate 1 and the active plate 2 are provided with connecting bases 4, and the driven plate 3 is provided with a mounting bracket 5. The connecting base 4 and the mounting bracket 5 are connected by a linkage mechanism 6. The linkage mechanism 6 includes a linkage component 61, a cleaning component 62 for real-time cleaning of the connecting base 4, and a buffer component 63. The linkage component 61 includes a linkage fixing member 611, one end of which is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 5. Both ends of the mounting bracket 5 are connected to the linkage fixing member 611. The buffer component 63 is disposed at both ends of the connecting base 4.
[0022] See Figure 1 Specifically, the connecting base 4 is provided with a double slide rail 41, and a locking plate 42 is provided in the middle of the double slide rail 41. The locking plate 42 is fixedly connected to the connecting base 4.
[0023] See Figure 2 Specifically, the linkage component 61 further includes a connecting lug 612 and a pulley assembly 613. The connecting lug 612 is fixedly mounted on the linkage fixing component 611. The pulley assembly 613 is connected to the connecting shaft 614 through a shaft hole. The connecting shaft 614 is connected to the connecting lug 612. The pulley assembly 613 is connected to the double slide rail 41. The double slide rail 41 can limit the travel trajectory of the pulley assembly 613.
[0024] See Figure 2Specifically, the cleaning component 62 includes a connecting frame 621, with the connecting ear 612 connected to both sides of the connecting frame 621. A cleaning cotton 622 is connected to the connecting frame 621, and the cleaning cotton 622 is located above the connecting base 4. During the movement of the door panel, the cleaning cotton 622 moves synchronously to wipe away dust and impurities on the connecting base 4 and the double slide rail 4, ensuring the cleanliness of the connecting base 4 and the double slide rail 41, and ensuring the stable cooperation between the pulley assembly 613 and the double slide rail 41.
[0025] See Figure 2 Specifically, a guide strip 43 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting base 4 near the mounting frame 5. Guide slots 51 are provided on both sides of the mounting frame 5. The guide strip 43 and the guide slots 51 are connected in cooperation. The guide strip 43 and the guide slots 51 are used to ensure the linkage stability between each door panel.
[0026] See Figure 3 Specifically, the buffer assembly 63 includes a buffer seat 631, a buffer rod 632, a buffer sleeve 633, and a buffer spring 634. The buffer seat 631 is fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting base 4. The buffer sleeve 633 is disposed on the buffer seat 631. One end of the buffer rod 632 extends into the buffer sleeve 633 and is connected to the buffer sleeve 633. The buffer spring 634 is disposed on the buffer rod 632.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the door needs to be opened or closed, the push-pull active plate 2 provides power, and the connecting base 4 connected to the active plate 2 is simultaneously subjected to force. Since the linkage fixing member 611 is fixedly connected to the driven plate 3, relative movement occurs between the double slide rail 41 and the pulley group 613. The pulley group 613 passively rolls along the double slide rail 41 until the pulley group 613 reaches the other end of the double slide rail 41. At this time, the linkage fixing member 611 touches the head of the buffer rod 632. The buffer rod 632 transmits the impact to the buffer spring 634. The buffer spring 634 undergoes elastic deformation to absorb the impact, limiting the linkage fixing member 611 while preventing the linkage fixing member 611 from rigidly colliding with the limiting member, which would affect the service life of the device. Afterwards, the active plate 2 pushes the driven plate 3 to move. The relative movement between the driven plate 3 and the fixed plate 1 is realized through the linkage component 61 set at the other end of the driven plate 3, realizing the linkage opening and closing. During this process, the cleaning cotton 622 moves along with the linkage fixing part 611. The cleaning cotton 622 wipes away the dust and impurities on the connecting base 4 and the double slide rail 4, ensuring the cleanliness of the connecting base 4 and the double slide rail 41, and ensuring the stable cooperation between the pulley group 613 and the double slide rail 41. Simultaneously, the guide strip 43 and the guide groove 51 slide relative to each other, forming mutual guidance and limiting, ensuring the stability of the linkage between each door panel.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
