Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a shower room, and more particularly to a frame mounting structure for a shower room. Background Technology

[0002] Existing shower enclosure frame installation structures consist of a wall-mounted profile and a frame profile. In reality, due to construction errors, bathroom walls are often not perfectly vertical, so shower enclosures typically need an adjustable feature to accommodate wall misalignment. To achieve this adjustment, a U-shaped mounting groove is usually installed on the wall-mounted profile, and a mounting block is installed on the frame profile. During installation, the mounting block is fitted into the mounting groove, and then a fastening screw is screwed in from the side to secure it. This existing installation structure, relying on the frame and wall-mounted profiles, has the following drawbacks: Conventional shower enclosures rely on drilling holes in the side of the profiles and screwing in screws for fixing and adjustment. This method, which damages the profiles, requires a successful installation on the first attempt and cannot be reinstalled. Furthermore, exposed screw heads not only affect the appearance of the shower door but may also damage the wall-mounted and frame profiles. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a shower room frame installation structure to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.

[0004] The solution to the technical problem of this utility model is: a shower room frame installation structure, including a wall-mounted profile and a frame profile. The wall-mounted profile includes an installation cavity, in which an expansion member is fixedly disposed. The frame profile is fitted into the installation cavity. The frame profile includes a side wall with a connecting hole. The expansion member passes through the connecting hole. The structure also includes a support member connected to the expansion member. The support member is used to open the expansion member, so that the wall profile and the frame profile are relatively fixed together.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During installation, the expansion member is expanded and deformed by the supporting member, and the deformation of the expansion member fixes it to the frame profile, thereby securing the wall-mounted profile and the frame profile together. Since both the expansion member and the supporting member are concealed within the mounting cavity of the wall-mounted profile, the installation structure is not visible from the outside after installation, making the product more aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, the expansion member is repeatable, allowing the installation structure to be reused and facilitating adjustments.

[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the expansion member is an expansion tube, the expansion tube includes an inner hole, and the spreading member is a screw, the outer diameter of the spreading member being larger than the inner diameter of the inner hole. When the screw is screwed in, the screw spreads the expansion tube, causing the outer wall of the expansion tube to abut against the frame profile, thereby forming a fixed connection with the frame profile.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the outer side of the expansion member is provided with retaining teeth. These retaining teeth allow for a tighter connection between the expansion member and the frame profile.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the expansion member includes a first part and a second part, and the expansion member also includes a slot, through which the first part and the second part are separated. When the expansion member is inserted into the slot, the expansion member expands the first part and the second part, causing the first part and the second part to abut against the frame profile respectively, thereby forming a stable connection.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the wall-mounted profile also includes an adjustment groove, in which the expansion member is slidably disposed. The expansion member is installed on the wall-mounted profile by fixing bolts. The adjustment groove allows for adjustment of the installation position of the expansion member. Once adjusted, the wall-mounted profile is fixed to the wall by fixing bolts, and the expansion member is simultaneously fixed to the wall-mounted profile.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the outer side of the frame profile is provided with a slot, and a sealing plate is also included. The sealing plate is snapped together with the slot. After the frame profile is fixed to the wall-mounted profile, the expansion member and the expansion member are relatively enclosed by sealing the slot with the sealing plate, making the product more aesthetically pleasing and waterproof.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the frame profile also includes a mounting groove in which a water-blocking component is embedded. By adding the water-blocking component, the waterproof performance of the shower enclosure is improved.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the water-blocking component includes a mounting portion, which includes barbs, and the mounting portion is embedded in the mounting groove. The barbs allow the water-blocking component to be quickly and reliably installed into the mounting groove.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a crossbeam is also included. The end of the sidewall is provided with mounting holes, through which the crossbeam is connected to the frame profile. The end of the crossbeam is aligned with the mounting holes, and then bolts are threaded through the mounting holes to the end face of the crossbeam.

[0014] In addition, this utility model also provides a shower room, which includes the shower room frame mounting structure as described above. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, enabling a person to intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and overall technical solution of this utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the directional or positional relationship based on the directional or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, "several" means one or more, "multiple" means two or more, "greater than," "less than," and "exceeding" are understood to exclude the stated number, while "above," "below," and "within" are understood to include the stated number.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of these terms in this utility model based on the specific content of the technical solution. Furthermore, the various technical features in this invention can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0025] In existing technology, for straight shower doors, to ensure both ends of the door fit snugly against the wall, a wall-mounted profile and a frame profile are used to achieve a seamless connection between the shower door and the wall. During installation, the frame profile is fixedly connected to the glass door, and then the wall-mounted profile is fixed to the wall. The frame profile fits over the wall-mounted profile, allowing the frame profile to move relative to it, thus adjusting the gap between the glass door and the wall-mounted profile. After adjustment, the frame profile and the wall-mounted profile are fixed together, completing the installation of the shower door.

[0026] The simplest way to securely connect two profiles is to pass both through self-tapping screws simultaneously. However, this method damages the surface of the profiles, cannot be reinstalled, and the protruding screws on the profile surface affect the product's aesthetics and the shower enclosure's waterproofing.

[0027] Therefore, this utility model provides an improved shower enclosure frame installation structure, which, through a concealed installation structure, allows the frame profile and the wall-mounted profile to form a reliable and hidden installation structure. Specifically, refer to... Figures 1-3 :

[0028] A shower enclosure frame mounting structure includes a wall-mounted profile 100 and a frame profile 200. The wall-mounted profile 100 has a U-shaped cross-section and includes a front wall, a rear wall, and a bottom wall. The front and rear walls are located on the front and rear sides of the bottom wall, respectively. The bottom wall, front wall, and rear wall form a mounting cavity 110 with an opening facing left or right. Generally, the front wall corresponds to the outer side of the shower enclosure, and the rear wall corresponds to the inner side. The front and rear walls are typically exposed to light, while the bottom wall is used to adhere to the wall, thereby fixing the wall-mounted profile 100 to the wall.

[0029] The frame profile 200 is H-shaped and includes a side wall 210, an inner wall, and an outer wall. The side wall 210 corresponds to the bottom wall of the wall-mounted profile 100, the inner wall corresponds to the rear wall of the wall-mounted profile, and the outer wall corresponds to the front wall of the wall-mounted profile. It is understood that the width of the frame profile 200 is slightly smaller than the width of the mounting cavity 110, allowing the frame profile 200 to be nested entirely into the mounting cavity 110. Simultaneously, the inner wall and rear wall can approach each other, and the outer wall and front wall can approach each other. Utilizing the mutual contact guidance between the inner wall and rear wall, and the outer wall and front wall, the frame profile 200 can move left and right within the mounting cavity 110.

[0030] During installation, the frame profile 200 is installed opposite to the fixed glass door; then the bottom wall of the wall-mounted profile 100 is pressed against the wall and fixed to the wall. Next, the frame profile 200 is inserted into the installation cavity 110. The position of the fixed glass door is adjusted by moving it left and right. After adjustment, the frame profile 200 and the wall-mounted profile 100 are fixed together.

[0031] To achieve the fixed installation of the frame profile 200 and the wall-mounted profile 100, this application adopts the following structure:

[0032] An expansion member 300 is pre-installed in the mounting cavity 110. The expansion member 300 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the wall-mounted profile 100, and the expansion member 300 faces the opening direction of the mounting cavity 110. A connecting hole 220 is provided on the side wall 210 of the frame profile. The diameter of the connecting hole 220 is larger than the outer diameter of the expansion member 300 in the normal state. In addition, a support member (not shown in the figure) is also included. The support member is used to connect with the expansion member 300. When the support member is connected with the expansion member 300, the expansion member 300 can be expanded, that is, its outer diameter becomes larger, so that the expansion member 300 and the frame profile 200 are fixedly connected.

[0033] During installation, align the connecting hole 220 of the frame profile 200 with the expansion member 300, allowing the frame profile 200 to move freely in the mounting cavity 110 along the left and right directions. After adjusting the position of the frame profile 200, connect the support member into the expansion member 300. During the installation of the support member, the outer diameter of the expansion member 300 continuously increases until the outer wall of the expansion member 300 forms a tight connection with the inner wall of the connecting hole 220. Since the expansion member 300 is fixed together with the wall-mounted profile 100, after the support member is connected to the expansion member 300, the expansion member and the frame profile 200 are tightly connected together, thus ensuring that the frame profile 200 and the wall-mounted profile 100 are tightly installed together.

[0034] Because the expansion member 300 and the frame profile 200 are relatively concealed within the mounting cavity 110, the mounting structure is not visible on the surface, making the product more aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, the overall direction of the locking force between the expansion member 300 and the frame profile 200 is also lateral, resulting in a tighter fit between the frame profile 200 and the wall-mounted profile 100.

[0035] Further, as a preferred embodiment, see [link to previous document]. Figure 3 The expansion member 300 is an expansion tube, which is square in shape and has an inner hole 310 in the middle. The expanding member is a screw, the outer diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the inner hole 310. During installation, after the expansion tube passes through the connecting hole 220 of the frame profile 200, the screw is screwed into the inner hole 310. Because the outer diameter of the screw is larger than the diameter of the inner hole 310, the screw forces the expansion tube to expand outward when it is screwed in. Since the expansion tube has a connecting hole on its outer periphery, as long as a suitable gap is set, the outer wall of the expansion tube can form a tight connection with the inner wall of the connecting block 220. It can be understood that the screw can be a self-tapping screw, and the expansion tube is a rigid plastic part. When the screw is screwed into the expansion tube, the screw automatically forms a tight connection with the expansion tube, and the expansion tube will expand outward due to the pressure of the screw, thereby allowing the expansion tube to be tightly connected with the frame profile.

[0036] In addition to being square, the expansion tube can also be round. Compared to a round one, a square expansion tube can increase the contact area with the connection hole 220 and improve the connection strength.

[0037] To facilitate easier opening of the expansion tube, as a further preferred embodiment, the expansion tube includes a first part 301 and a second part 302, which are mirror-symmetrical. The outer sides of the first part 301 and the second part 302 are provided with retaining teeth 320, and the first part 301 and the second part 302 are separated by a slot 330. By providing the slot 330, when the screw is screwed into the inner hole 310, the first part 301 and the second part 302 can more easily expand outwards, thereby making the connection between the expansion tube and the frame profile 200 tighter.

[0038] In addition, the use of the clip 320 can make the connection between the expansion tube and the frame profile 200 tighter.

[0039] As a further preferred embodiment, the expansion member also includes a base, and the expansion tube is disposed on the base. The wall-mounted profile 100 has an adjustment groove 120 on its bottom wall, and the base is slidably connected to the adjustment groove 120. Simultaneously, the base has a through hole. When installing the wall-mounted profile 100, firstly, adjust the installation position of the expansion bolts according to the conditions of the construction site, then slide the expansion member up and down in the adjustment groove 120 so that the through hole of the base is aligned with the hole to be installed. Finally, when the fixing bolt is screwed in, the fixing bolt fixes the wall-mounted profile 100 to the wall, and simultaneously fixes the expansion member to the wall-mounted profile 100. Moreover, the connection between the adjustment groove 120 and the base provides support and limitation for the expansion member in the front-back direction, thereby making the connection between the installed expansion member and the wall-mounted profile 100 more compact.

[0040] In addition to the above-described embodiments, the expansion member can also be fixed to the wall-mounted profile by adhesive bonding. Alternatively, the expansion member can be fixed to the wall-mounted profile separately by mounting screws.

[0041] As can be seen from the above structure, during installation, screws need to be screwed into the expansion tubes from the left and right directions. Therefore, after installation, the left and right directions of the frame profile are open. This results in a gap on the inside of the shower door, which not only affects the aesthetics but also poses a safety hazard. Therefore, as a preferred embodiment, the outer side of the frame profile 200 is provided with a slot 230, and a sealing plate 400 is also included. The sealing plate 400 is snapped into the slot 230. After the frame profile is fixedly installed, the gap is blocked by snapping the sealing plate 400 onto the slot 230.

[0042] As a further preferred embodiment, the frame profile 200 also includes a mounting groove 240, in which a water-blocking member 500 is embedded. The water-blocking member 500 includes a mounting portion 510, which includes barbs and is embedded in the mounting groove 240. In some embodiments, the frame profile 200 needs to abut against a movable glass door to achieve a waterproof effect. To improve the waterproof effect, a water-blocking strip is usually installed on the frame profile. For easier installation, in this embodiment, the water-blocking strip is inserted into the mounting groove of the frame profile 200 using a nested installation method with the mounting portion 510.

[0043] As a further preferred embodiment, a crossbeam 600 is also included. The end of the side wall 210 is provided with a mounting hole 250, through which the crossbeam 600 is connected to the frame profile 200. During installation, the end face of the crossbeam 600 is first inserted into the frame profile 200. It is understood that the crossbeam 600 has a C-shaped groove. After aligning the C-shaped groove with the mounting hole, bolts are used to pass through the mounting hole and fix the crossbeam 600 to the frame profile 200.

[0044] In addition, this utility model also provides a shower room, which includes the shower room frame mounting structure as described above.

[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
