Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to a bidirectional folding door panel auxiliary component. [Background Technology]

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, modern homes have higher requirements for shower facilities. Many people clearly divide the shower area and use a sliding door to open and close it, forming a relatively independent bathing space. This way, people will not splash water outside the shower facilities while showering, thus ensuring that other areas remain dry and clean.

[0003] In existing technologies, shower room doors are designed with a type of folding door that can open in both inwards and outwards, with two door panels hinged together and one panel sliding on a track. However, through extensive production experience, the applicant has found that existing folding door designs have flaws. The hinge joints between the door panels have poor stability and are prone to misalignment and detachment during frequent use, resulting in a high failure rate. Therefore, we have developed an auxiliary component for the bidirectional folding of folding doors. [Utility Model Content]
