Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an adjustable glass countersunk hinge structure, and more particularly to a glass door hinge structure for shower rooms. Background Technology
[0002] Existing shower enclosure glass doors typically use a hinge structure, consisting of a left door clamp assembly, a right door clamp assembly, and a hinge mechanism. The left and right door clamp assemblies are connected by the hinge mechanism. Both the left and right door clamp assemblies are equipped with screw and nut locking mechanisms for secure connection to the glass door. The glass door has countersunk holes to allow the screw and nut locking mechanism to fix the glass door to the left or right door clamp assembly. For details, please refer to patent number CN201120561104, entitled "A Utility Model Patent for a Glass Door Hinge".
[0003] Because the position of the screw and nut locking mechanism in the existing hinge structure is fixed and cannot be adjusted, the position of the countersunk hole in the glass door must also be precisely matched. If the position of the countersunk hole in the glass door deviates even slightly from the position of the screw and nut locking mechanism in the hinge structure, it will be impossible to install, and the glass door will be scrapped. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hinge structure with an adjustable countersunk hole in the glass, which solves the technical problem that the position of the screw and nut locking mechanism in the existing hinge structure is fixed and cannot be adjusted. Once the position of the countersunk hole in the glass door deviates slightly from the position of the screw and nut locking mechanism in the hinge structure, it will lead to the inability to install the glass door and the glass door will be scrapped.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] An adjustable hinge structure for countersunk glass includes a left door clamp assembly, a right door clamp assembly, and a hinge mechanism. The left and right door clamp assemblies are connected by the hinge mechanism. The structure is characterized by a screw and nut locking mechanism for installing a glass door on the left and / or right door clamp assemblies. The screw and nut locking mechanism includes a nut and a screw. A base plate for installing the nut is provided inside the left and / or right door clamp assemblies. The base plate has an elongated groove extending along the X-axis. The nut has a T-shaped structure, including a head and a tail. The head is larger than the tail and has a step in the middle. The tail is nested in the elongated groove and can move along the X-axis. One end of the screw is screwed into a threaded hole in the middle of the tail. The step presses against the base plate. The screw and nut are threaded together to press the glass door onto the left or right door clamp assembly.
[0007] Preferably, the left door clamp assembly is provided with a screw and nut locking mechanism, and the right door clamp assembly is provided with two spaced-apart screw and nut locking mechanisms.
[0008] Preferably, the elongated groove is a T-shaped groove.
[0009] Preferably, two opposing planes are cut into the outer surface of the nut tail. The two opposing planes are parallel to each other and fit with the top and bottom walls of the elongated groove.
[0010] Preferably, the right door clamp assembly includes a bottom shell, a base plate, and a right panel. The two sides of the base plate are fixed to the bottom shell by second screws. One end of the bottom shell is covered by the right panel. The right panel has a waist-shaped hole to expose the tail of the nut. The screw is located on the outside of the right panel.
[0011] Preferably, the left door clamp assembly includes a base plate and a left panel. A circular groove is provided at one end of the elongated slide groove. The nut slides into the elongated slide groove after passing through the circular groove. A second oblong hole is provided on the left panel to expose the tail of the nut. The screw is located on the outside of the left panel.
[0012] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:
[0013] Effect 1: The left and / or right door clamp assembly of this utility model includes a base plate for mounting nuts. The base plate has an elongated groove extending along the X-axis. The nut has a T-shaped structure, including a head and a tail. The head is larger than the tail and has a step in the middle. The tail is nested in the elongated groove and can move along the X-axis. One end of a screw is screwed into a threaded hole in the middle of the tail. The step presses against the base plate. The threaded connection between the nut and screw presses the glass door firmly onto the left or right door clamp assembly. Thus, even if there is a slight deviation between the countersunk hole position of the glass door and the screw-nut locking mechanism of the hinge structure, the nut tail can move along the X-axis within the elongated groove, adjusting the nut position to match the countersunk hole position of the glass door. This facilitates installation, eliminates the need to discard the glass door, and offers strong installation adaptability, easy adjustment, and a simple structure.
