Detailed Implementation

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0030] This utility model relates to a guiding device, including a fixed base 100 and a main body 300.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the fixing base 100 can be configured as, but is not limited to, a block-shaped or frame-shaped structure. The fixing base 100 is provided with mounting holes 110 and elastic clips 200. The mounting holes 110 extend laterally through the fixing base 100, and the number of mounting holes 110 is not limited; it can be one, two, or more. It should be noted that "lateral" refers to the horizontal direction, which can be front-to-back or left-to-right depending on the actual placement position. In this embodiment, as shown in the diagram, the fixing base 100 has two mounting holes 110, distributed left and right, extending through the fixing base 100 in the front-to-back direction. The elastic clips 200 extend and retract laterally on the fixing base 100. In this embodiment, the two ends of the elastic clips 200 protrude to both sides of the fixing base 100 and can extend and retract relative to the fixing base 100 in the left-to-right direction when subjected to external force. The main body 300 can be vertically fitted onto the fixing base 100. It should be noted that "vertical" is relative to the aforementioned "lateral" direction; when "lateral" is the horizontal direction, "vertical" is the up-down direction. In practical use, the guide device can be applied to shower enclosures to guide the movement of the shower enclosure's sliding door. During installation, first place the mounting base 100 on the lower profile frame of the shower enclosure, then use screws to pass through the mounting holes 110 to lock the mounting base 100 onto the profile frame. Next, fit the main body 300 onto the mounting base 100. The elastic clip 200 on the mounting base 100 engages with the main body 300, restricting the vertical movement of the main body 300 relative to the mounting base 100. The mounting base 100 restricts lateral (front-back and left-right) movement. This secures the main body 300. The shower enclosure's sliding door slides onto the main body 300, and the main body 300 guides the movement of the sliding door. After the main body 300 is installed on the mounting base 100, the main body 300 also prevents the screws on the mounting base 100 from coming loose. The guiding device of this utility model can quickly install and remove the main body 300 through the fixing base 100 without drilling on the ground, saving time and effort during installation.

[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom surface of the main body 300 is provided with an adhesive injection groove 310, which opens downwards. Before the main body 300 is installed onto the mounting base 100, adhesive such as silicone sealant can be applied to the adhesive injection groove 310. After the main body 300 is installed onto the mounting base 100, the bottom of the main body 300 will abut against the profile frame or the ground, and the silicone sealant on its bottom will adhere to the profile frame or the ground, thereby further securing the main body 300 with the mounting base 100. The adhesive injection groove 310 can limit the area of ​​adhesive application to the bottom of the main body 300, reducing or preventing silicone sealant from overflowing outside the main body 300 when it is attached to the ground.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a vertical insertion cavity 320 is provided on the main body 300. The insertion cavity 320 has an opening on one vertical side wall and at the bottom. The bottom and rear openings of the insertion cavity 320 are shown in the diagram. A fixing seat 100 is inserted into the insertion cavity 320 from bottom to top. After insertion, the head of the connecting screw is hidden within the insertion cavity 320. A stepped portion 120 is provided on the fixing seat 100. The stepped portion 120 protrudes rearward from the rear side of the fixing seat 100. The shape of the stepped portion 120 is adapted to the shape of the opening on the rear side wall of the insertion cavity 320, and can be a rectangular opening, etc. The stepped portion 120 is inserted into the opening on the rear side wall of the insertion cavity 320. In this way, the fixing seat 100 restricts the main body 300 from moving forward, backward, left, or right.

[0034] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the main body 300 also has a guide cavity 330. The guide cavity 330 and the insertion cavity 320 are distributed on the main body 300 along the axial direction of the mounting hole 110. In the direction shown in the figure, the axial direction of the mounting opening is front-to-back, and the guide cavity 330 and the insertion cavity 320 are distributed front-to-back on the main body 300. The guide cavity 330 opens upwards and extends horizontally through the main body 300. The lower side of the shower room's movable door slides into the guide cavity 330 and slides horizontally along the guide cavity 330.

[0035] A slider 400 is installed on one of the opposing longitudinal sidewalls of the guide cavity 330. The slider 400 can be made of a material with a certain elastic deformation capability. The slider 400 can be installed on the main body 300 by plugging it in. The slider 400 extends into the guide cavity 330, and at least one slider 400 on the longitudinal sidewall can telescopically move relative to the guide cavity 330, that is, the slider 400 can move in the direction of extending into the guide cavity 330 and in the direction of exiting the guide cavity 330. In this embodiment, sliders 400 are installed on the front and rear sidewalls of the guide cavity 330. The slider 400 on the rear sidewall of the guide cavity 330 is configured to be telescopically movable. When the movable door slides relative to the guide cavity 330, the sliders 400 on both sides abut against the sides of the movable door, restricting the back-and-forth swaying of the movable door. The telescopically movable slider 400 has a certain buffer space for the clamping effect of the movable door. The part of the slider 400 extending into the guide cavity 330 can be set as an arc surface to reduce the friction with the movable door. Furthermore, limiting screws 500 are installed on the main body 300. The limiting screws 500 are screwed into the main body 300 from the left and right sides. The limiting screws 500 can abut against the sliders 400 that can telescopically move relative to the guide cavity 330. By limiting the retraction stroke of the sliders 400 relative to the guide cavity 330, the limiting screws 500 limit the travel of each slider 400 in relation to the front and rear sides of the movable door.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the elastic locking member 200 includes an elastic element 210 and a sliding post 220. The fixing base 100 has a mounting cavity 130. In this embodiment, the mounting cavity 130 opens downwards, and first through holes 131 are provided on both the left and right sides of the mounting cavity 130. Two sliding posts 220 are installed in the mounting cavity 130, and each sliding post 220 is paired and slidably inserted through the first through holes 131. The first through holes 131 on both sides are coaxially arranged. The elastic element 210 can be a spring or the like, and it connects between the two sliding posts 220. The elastic element 210 applies an elastic force to the sliding posts 220, pushing them outwards from the first through holes 131. When the main body 300 is fitted onto the fixing base 100, the sliding posts 220 retract into the mounting cavity 130. After the main body 300 is installed in place, the sliding posts 220 extend outwards under the elastic force of the elastic element 210 and engage with the main body 300. Furthermore, a cover 600 is included. The cover 600 is detachably installed at the lower opening of the mounting cavity 130. The cover 600 is provided with a guide groove 610. The extension direction of the guide groove 610 is consistent with the movement direction of the sliding column 220. A sliding protrusion 221 extends from the sliding column 220. The cover 600 covers the mounting cavity 130, and the sliding protrusion 221 slides in the guide groove 610. The cover 600, on the one hand, confines the sliding column 220 and the elastic member 210 in the mounting cavity 130, and on the other hand, guides the movement of the sliding column 220 through the cooperation of the guide groove 610 and the sliding protrusion 221. Furthermore, second through holes 331 are provided on the left and right sides of the main body 300, and the second through holes 331 are opposite to the first through holes 131. The sliding column 220 passes through the first through hole 131 and then through the second through hole 331, thereby realizing the locking of the sliding column 220 onto the main body 300.
