Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shower room damper technology, and in particular to an installation structure for a shower room damper. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, common shower enclosure dampers on the market typically need to be inserted into or directly fixed to the upper guide rail. This installation method inevitably increases the size of the upper guide rail. To accommodate the damper device, the upper guide rail must be designed to be wider and taller, making the overall appearance bulky and inconsistent with the modern shower enclosure's pursuit of a simple and lightweight design. An overly large upper guide rail visually occupies a significant amount of space, affecting the overall aesthetics of the shower enclosure.

[0003] In addition, since the buffer occupies part of the space of the upper guide rail, the traditional installation method may cause the hanging clamp connecting the glass door and the upper guide rail to be exposed, which will destroy the overall coordination of the shower room, make it look less refined, and affect the user's visual experience.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to further improve and perfect the existing technology to overcome these shortcomings, and this utility model is made based on this situation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a simpler, more aesthetically pleasing installation structure for a shower room buffer that does not affect functionality.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an installation structure for a shower room buffer, including a glass door and a guide rail profile covering the top of the glass door. The top of the glass door is embedded with a buffer body and a roller assembly, and the guide rail profile is provided with a track for cooperating with the roller assembly and a buffer trigger for cooperating with the buffer body.

[0009] To further solve the technical problem to be solved by this utility model, the present utility model provides an installation structure for a shower room buffer, wherein fixing holes are provided on both sides of the main notch, and there is a gap between the fixing holes and the main notch; fork-shaped fixing parts are provided at both ends of the buffer body, the fork-shaped fixing parts are clamped on the front and rear sides of the fixing holes, and the fork-shaped fixing parts are provided with a first fixing screw that locks them onto the glass door, the first fixing screw passing through the corresponding fixing hole.

[0010] In order to further solve the technical problem to be solved by this utility model, in the installation structure of the shower room buffer provided by this utility model, the top of the buffer body is flush with the top of the glass door, and the activation slot protrudes upward from the top of the glass door.

[0011] In order to further solve the technical problem to be solved by this utility model, the installation structure of the shower room buffer provided by this utility model is provided with a starting lever that can cooperate with the starting bayonet, and the buffer trigger is fixed in the corresponding mounting groove at the top of the inner cavity of the guide rail profile by fasteners.

[0012] To further address the technical problems to be solved by this utility model, the present utility model provides an installation structure for a shower room buffer, wherein the roller assembly includes a roller body, a roller bracket, and a second fixing screw, and a through hole is provided on the glass door, and the roller bracket is fixed to the through hole position by the second fixing screw.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] This invention optimizes the installation position of the buffer by embedding the buffer body into the top of the glass door, instead of installing it inside the upper guide rail (guide rail profile) as in the traditional design. This innovative design significantly reduces the space occupied by the upper guide rail, further reduces the visible width of the upper guide rail, and makes the appearance of the shower room product more concise and streamlined. It also makes the upper guide rail more economical in terms of material usage, effectively reducing the demand for aluminum alloy or other metal materials in production, thereby greatly reducing the material cost of the upper guide rail, which is in line with today's green environmental protection and energy-saving production concepts.

[0017] Furthermore, the overall design style of this utility model emphasizes the combination of minimalism and understated luxury.

Attached Figure Description

[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

[0019] Figure 1 This is an exploded view of the present invention;

[0020] Figure 2 This is a side view of the present invention; Detailed Implementation

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the present invention discloses an installation structure for a shower room damper, comprising a glass door 1 and a guide rail profile 2 covering the top of the glass door 1. A damper body 3 and a roller assembly 4 are embedded in the top of the glass door 1, and the guide rail profile 2 is provided with a track 21 for cooperating with the roller assembly 4 and a damper trigger 5 for cooperating with the damper body 3.

[0023] The buffer body 3 is a common buffer for bathroom glass sliding doors on the market. Its specific structure is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0024] The glass door 1 has an upward-facing main notch 11 at its top. The size of the main notch 11 is adapted to the shape of the buffer body 3, so that it can be securely embedded and installed.

[0025] Preferably, the top of the buffer body 3 is flush with or approximately flush with the top of the glass door 1 to reduce the space occupied at the top of the glass door.

[0026] Of course, the actuation slot 31 on the upper part of the buffer body 3 faces upward and protrudes from the top of the glass door, and is used to cooperate with the actuation lever 51 on the buffer trigger 5. When the glass door is opened or closed, the actuation slot 31 and the actuation lever 51 interact to achieve the buffering function.

[0027] On both sides of the main notch 11, the glass door 1 is provided with spaced fixing holes 12 (through holes or notches) to assist in fixing the buffer body 3. The buffer body 3 has fork-shaped fixing parts 32 at both ends, which clamp onto the front and rear sides of the fixing holes 12. The buffer body 3 is then locked to the glass door 1 by first fixing screws 6, which pass through the corresponding fixing holes 12. This installation method is not only simple and reliable but also effectively avoids the problem of the buffer loosening due to vibration or external force during use.

[0028] The roller assembly 4 includes a roller body 41, a roller bracket 42, and a second fixing screw 43. A through hole (not shown in the figure) for installing the roller assembly 4 is provided on the glass door 1, and the roller bracket 42 is fixed to the through hole by the second fixing screw 43.

[0029] Preferably, the top of the roller bracket 42 is also flush or roughly flush with the top of the glass door 1, which optimizes the overall structure, makes the top of the glass door look neater, and reduces the space occupied at the top of the glass door.

[0030] Since the tops of the buffer body 3 and the roller assembly 4 are flush with or roughly flush with the top of the glass door 1, the stacking of the buffer and roller assembly in terms of space height is reduced, allowing the internal space of the guide rail profile 2 to be utilized more efficiently, thereby achieving a reduction in the size of the guide rail profile.

[0031] The guide rail profile 2 has a track 21 that cooperates with the roller assembly 4. The roller assembly 4 slides in the track 21 to achieve smooth pushing and pulling of the glass door 1. In addition, the top of the inner cavity of the guide rail profile 2 has a mounting groove for accommodating the buffer trigger 5. The buffer trigger 5 is fixed in the mounting groove by fasteners (such as screws), and its actuation lever 51 cooperates with the actuation latch 31 to trigger the buffer action of the buffer body 3.

[0032] Furthermore, the buffer body 3 is a bidirectional buffer, which can provide buffering when the glass door is pushed or pulled to both ends, thereby improving safety and user experience.

[0033] The buffer mounting structure of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0034] Reduced material costs: By optimizing the installation positions of the buffer and roller assemblies, the internal space occupied by the guide rail profile is reduced, thereby reducing the size of the guide rail profile and the amount of material used.

[0035] Easy to install: The buffer body is embedded in the glass door, and the fixing method is simple and easy to assemble.

[0036] Enhanced aesthetics: The top structure of the glass door is flush with the surface, reducing additional protruding parts, and the guide rail profiles are smaller and narrower, resulting in a simpler and more aesthetically pleasing overall effect that meets modern aesthetic requirements.
