Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shower room technology, and in particular to a shower room door structure. Background Technology
[0002] Some smart glass screens on the market use hinges to achieve their dimming function. Existing hinged smart glass screens connect wires by machining small holes in the hinge shaft or corners, through which wires are threaded and connected to the power source, enabling the glass to dim (transparent when powered, fogged up when powered off). However, existing hinge wiring structures are complex, have high maintenance costs, cannot conceal the wiring, have poor aesthetics, and do not conform to current minimalist design trends. Furthermore, repeated opening and closing of the hinges can cause wires to wear or break due to compression and stretching, resulting in low safety and reliability. Utility Model Content
