Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of integrated bathroom technology, and in particular to a one-way folding door for integrated bathrooms. Background Technology

[0002] In the application of prefabricated bathrooms, traditional hinged doors and sliding doors have certain limitations. Hinged doors require a large amount of space to rotate when opening, which takes up too much internal space in relatively small prefabricated bathrooms, restricting the user's movement area and resulting in a poor user experience. While ordinary sliding doors solve the space occupation problem to some extent, they are inferior in terms of sealing performance and structural stability.

[0003] Integrated bathrooms typically have high requirements for waterproofing and moisture resistance. Ordinary doors are insufficient to completely prevent moisture leakage, which can easily lead to dampness and damage to the exterior walls and floors of the bathroom over time, affecting the overall quality of the home environment. Furthermore, in actual use, users need to frequently move between wet and dry areas, placing high demands on the convenience and security of the doors. Existing doors are not convenient enough in terms of locking and opening, failing to meet the diverse needs of users.

[0004] Furthermore, integrated bathrooms also prioritize aesthetics, a requirement that traditional door designs and light transmission cannot meet. Therefore, developing an integrated bathroom door that saves space while providing excellent sealing, security, and aesthetics has become an urgent market demand. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a one-way folding door for integrated bathrooms that is structurally reasonable, space-saving, provides stable guidance, drainage, light transmission, is convenient and safe to use, and has good sealing performance, thereby improving the user experience.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a one-way folding door for an integrated bathroom, including an upper guide rail, a lower guide rail, and a door panel assembly. The upper and lower guide rails are respectively horizontally arranged at the top and bottom of the door opening of the integrated bathroom to guide the sliding and folding of the door panel assembly. The door panel assembly is composed of multiple door panels that are hinged to each other. The upper and lower ends of each door panel are movably connected to the upper and lower guide rails, respectively. The door panels are connected by movable hinges to achieve relative folding action. When the door panel assembly is in the fully unfolded state, the multiple door panels are spliced ​​together to form a complete door body.

[0007] As a further explanation of this utility model:

[0008] Preferably, the upper guide rail is provided with a pulley device connected to the top of the door panel assembly. The upper end of the pulley device is movably connected to the inner circumference of the lower end of the upper guide rail, and the lower end is connected to the upper end of the door panel assembly. The inner circumference of the upper end of the lower guide rail is provided with a sliding groove that mates with the bottom of the door panel assembly. The lower end of the door panel assembly is provided with a sliding block that matches the sliding groove. The pulley device, the sliding block, and the sliding groove cooperate with each other to enable the door panel assembly to slide and fold along the upper and lower guide rails.

[0009] Preferably, the inner surface of the lower guide rail is provided with a plurality of drainage holes for draining wastewater that enters the inner circumference of the lower guide rail.

[0010] Preferably, the door panel assembly includes a left door panel on the left side and a right door panel on the right side that are hinged to each other, and the left and right door panels are connected by a movable hinge. The left and right door panels are able to slide to the right and fold backward along the upper and lower guide rails.

[0011] Preferably, the upper sides of the left and right door panels are respectively provided with acrylic light-transmitting panels for light transmission.

[0012] Preferably, the device also includes a lock assembly, which is a double-sided lock installed in the middle between the left and right door panels. The double-sided lock can be locked and opened from both sides of the wet and dry areas of the bathroom, allowing the door panel assembly to slide along the upper and lower guide rails to close or open, thus meeting the safety and convenience requirements during use.

[0013] Preferably, it also includes a sealing element disposed around the door panel assembly to improve the sealing performance of the folding door and prevent moisture and odor leakage.

[0014] Preferably, the height of the left and right door panels is 2090.0mm to 2105.0mm, the width is 690.0mm to 700.0mm, the vertical height of the acrylic light-transmitting panel is 490.0mm to 505.0mm, and the vertical height of the bottom of the double-sided locking door panel is 990.0mm to 1010.0mm.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] Firstly, this utility model can adopt a design in which multiple door panels are hinged to each other and slide and fold in one direction along the guide rail. When opened, the door panels fold to one side, which greatly reduces the space occupied by the door during opening and closing compared with a swing door, freeing up more usable space in the overall bathroom and improving space utilization. It is especially suitable for overall bathroom environments with limited space, and is easy to install and use, with wide applicability.

[0017] Secondly, this utility model has good guidance and stability. Through the pulley device of the upper guide rail and the sliding groove of the lower guide rail, the door panel assembly is coordinated with the door panel, so that the door panel has stable guidance during sliding and folding, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the door operation, reducing the possibility of jamming or shaking during use, and extending the service life of the door.

[0018] Thirdly, the lower guide rail of this utility model has multiple drainage holes evenly opened on its inner surface, which can promptly drain the wastewater that enters the inner circumference of the lower guide rail, effectively preventing the accumulation of wastewater in the guide rail, preventing problems such as rust and corrosion of the guide rail caused by water accumulation, and affecting the normal sliding of the door, thus enhancing the durability of the door.

[0019] Fourth, this utility model features a light-transmitting design. Acrylic light-transmitting panels are installed on the upper part of the left and right door panels. While ensuring the structural strength of the door, the lighting effect of the bathroom is increased, making the bathroom brighter and improving the comfort and sense of space during use, thus meeting the user's needs for bathroom lighting and aesthetics.

[0020] Fifth, this utility model is more convenient and safer. The double-sided lock is installed in the middle between the left and right door panels. Users can lock and open the bathroom from both sides of the wet and dry areas. This design fully considers the diversity of usage scenarios, improves the convenience and safety of use, and provides users with a better user experience.

[0021] Sixth, the sealing elements provided around the door panel assembly of this utility model effectively improve the sealing performance of the folding door, which can effectively prevent moisture and odors from leaking to the outside of the bathroom, keep the external environment of the bathroom dry and clean, reduce the impact on the surrounding area, and improve the overall performance of the bathroom.
