Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of shower technology, specifically relating to a folding shower room pedal mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Folding shower enclosures feature a unique folding design that allows the shower door and footrest to be folded up when not in use, saving space and improving bathroom efficiency.
[0003] Existing folding shower enclosure pedal mechanisms struggle to achieve both quick folding and stable fixation. They often trade one thing for another: if quick folding is prioritized, the pedal fixation becomes unreliable, easily coming loose or slipping off unintentionally; if stable fixation is emphasized, the operation is cumbersome, time-consuming, and laborious, failing to meet users' needs for convenience and efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable, unfoldable folding shower stall pedal mechanism to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A folding shower enclosure pedal mechanism includes a base and a mounting plate disposed on the base. A shower pipe is disposed on the mounting plate, a pedal is rotatably disposed on the mounting plate, and a support foot is rotatably disposed on the pedal.
[0007] It also includes:
[0008] A second horizontal axis is rotatably mounted on the pedal.
[0009] A fixing mechanism is provided between the pedal and the second horizontal shaft, and the rotation angle of the second horizontal shaft is fixed by the fixing mechanism;
[0010] A limiting pin is provided on the mounting plate to limit the position of the pedal on the mounting plate.
[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the fixing mechanism includes a limiting ring, which is disposed at both ends of the horizontal axis. The limiting ring has two limiting holes, which are at a 90-degree angle to each other. The mounting plate is provided with a connecting seat, and a spring is disposed inside the connecting seat. A steel ball is disposed in the connecting seat through the spring, and the steel ball can be embedded in the limiting hole.
[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, limiting plates are provided at both ends of the second horizontal axis, and the support feet are provided at both ends of the second horizontal axis.
[0013] As a further optimization of this utility model, when the support leg is perpendicular to the ground, the limiting plate is also perpendicular to the ground.
[0014] As a further optimization of this utility model, the mounting plate is provided with a mounting seat, the limiting pin is slidably disposed on the mounting seat, a second spring is provided between the limiting pin and the mounting seat, and the limiting pin is movably connected to the limiting plate.
[0015] As a further optimization of this utility model, the pedal is provided with a crossbar, the pedal is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate via the crossbar, and the pedal is provided with multiple drainage holes.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] Unlike existing technologies, users can flip up the support legs, which then drive the second horizontal axis to rotate synchronously. During this linkage, the limiting pins on the mounting plate can release the restraints on the pedals, allowing the pedals to unfold smoothly. At the same time, a fixing mechanism ensures that the second horizontal axis is securely fixed at the required angle, maintaining a stable state whether placed horizontally to support the user or folded vertically for storage.

[0024] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, a folding shower room pedal mechanism includes a base 1 and a mounting plate 2 disposed on the base 1. A shower pipe 3 is disposed on the mounting plate 2, a pedal 4 is rotatably disposed on the mounting plate 2, and a support foot 8 is rotatably disposed on the pedal 4.
[0027] It also includes:
[0028] Horizontal shaft 25 is rotatably mounted on pedal 4;
[0029] Fixing mechanism 6 is set between pedal 4 and horizontal shaft 5, and the rotation angle of horizontal shaft 5 is fixed by fixing mechanism 6;
[0030] The limiting pin 7 is set on the mounting plate 2 and the limiting pin 7 restricts the position of the pedal 4 on the mounting plate 2.
[0031] The fixing mechanism 6 includes a limiting ring 61, which is set at both ends of the horizontal shaft 5. The limiting ring 61 has two limiting holes 62, which are at a 90-degree angle to each other. The mounting plate 2 is provided with a connecting seat 63, and a spring 65 is provided inside the connecting seat 63. A steel ball 64 is set in the connecting seat 63 through the spring 65. The steel ball 64 can be embedded in the limiting hole 62. The 90-degree angled limiting hole 62 provides a precise embedding point for the steel ball 64. The spring 65 applies elastic force to the steel ball 64 at all times, causing the steel ball 64 to be tightly embedded in the limiting hole 62.
[0032] Limiting plates 51 are provided at both ends of the second horizontal shaft 5, and support feet 8 are provided at both ends of the second horizontal shaft 5. The rotation of the limiting plates 51 can cleverly lift the limiting pins 7, thereby unlocking the pedal and ensuring that the pedal can be smoothly unfolded.
[0033] When the support leg 8 is perpendicular to the ground, the limiting plate 51 is also perpendicular to the ground, so the angle of the limiting plate 51 can be determined by the support leg 8.
[0034] Mounting plate 2 is provided with mounting base 71, and limiting pin 7 is slidably disposed on mounting base 71. A second spring 72 is provided between limiting pin 7 and mounting base 71. Limiting pin 7 is movably connected to limiting plate 51, and the second spring 72 provides elastic restoring force for limiting pin 7.
[0035] A crossbar 42 is provided on the foot pedal 4. The foot pedal 4 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 2 via the crossbar 42. Multiple drainage holes 41 are provided on the foot pedal 4 to quickly drain water from the surface of the foot pedal, effectively keeping the shower area dry and reducing the risk of slipping due to water accumulation.
[0036] It should be noted that the working principle of this folding shower stall pedal mechanism is as follows: First, the pedal 4 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 2 via the crossbar 42. The pedal 4 is designed with multiple drainage holes 41, a clever design that allows water to drain from the pedal promptly, keeping the shower area dry. When ready to use the pedal, the pedal 4 must be lowered from its folded position. During this process, the limiting pin 7 on the mounting plate 2 plays a crucial limiting role. By manually flipping the support leg 8 up ninety degrees, this action causes the cross shaft 5 to rotate, and the limiting plates 51 located at both ends of the cross shaft 5 rotate synchronously. It is worth noting that when the limiting plate 51 rotates, it will lift the limiting pin 7. When the support leg 8 is finally in a horizontal state, the limiting plate 51 is also horizontal. At this moment, the limiting pin 7 no longer restricts the limiting plate 51, and the pedal can be fully unfolded. At the same time, the fixing mechanism 6 is responsible for accurately fixing the rotation angle of the horizontal axis 2 5. Its components include limiting rings 61 located at both ends of the horizontal axis 2 5. Two limiting holes 62 with a 90-degree angle are carefully opened on the limiting rings 61. Inside the connecting seat 63 on the mounting plate 2, a steel ball 64 is placed by means of a spring 1 65. The steel ball 64 can be precisely embedded in the limiting hole 62. In this way, the support leg 8 can be reliably ensured to be stably in a horizontal or vertical state. At the moment the support leg 8 is opened, the restriction on the pedal 4 is released, so that the pedal unfolding action is completed in one go. On the other hand, whether the pedal 4 is stored away or the support leg 8 is in use, the stability of the entire structure can be guaranteed in all aspects, which truly gives the pedal operation in the shower room convenience and reliability.
[0037] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
