Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of movable door technology, specifically to a concealed track movable door for small-sized bathrooms. Background Technology

[0002] Existing shower rooms, to save space, typically feature sliding doors. For example, Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN217581471U, entitled "A Shower Room with a Raised Water Tank via a Sliding Door," discloses a shower room housing. The lower half of the housing uses a U-shaped, sealed tank for water storage. An entrance is located above the tank, allowing users to step into the tank and enter the shower room. A sliding door seals the lower half of the entrance and is mounted on the housing using a sliding rail. When closed, the door, along with the surrounding shower room units, forms a raised water tank. When opened, the entrance is fully accessible. However, this patent uses two upward-extending sliding door tracks, with the doors sliding along them. These tracks are exposed and relatively long, affecting the aesthetics of the shower room. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a concealed sliding door for small-sized bathrooms, in order to solve at least one of the aforementioned problems in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A concealed sliding door for small-sized bathrooms includes a bathroom enclosure and a sliding door. The bathroom enclosure has an entrance door, with an upper horizontal sliding rail embedded at the upper end of the entrance door. A lower horizontal sliding rail is embedded on the front of the bathroom enclosure, located on the side below the entrance door. The upper and lower horizontal sliding rails are staggered. A first slider is provided on the back of the upper end of the sliding door, which slides in cooperation with the upper horizontal sliding rail. A second slider is provided on the back of the lower end of the sliding door, which slides in cooperation with the lower horizontal sliding rail.

[0006] This technical solution features an upper horizontal sliding rail embedded at the top of the doorway and a lower horizontal sliding rail embedded on the front of the shower enclosure, located at the bottom of the doorway. The upper and lower horizontal sliding rails are staggered. The horizontal rails are shorter than vertical rails and are embedded, preventing them from protruding from the enclosure surface, thus improving the uniformity and aesthetics of the shower enclosure. A first slider is located on the back of the upper part of the sliding door, sliding in conjunction with the upper horizontal sliding rail. A second slider is located on the back of the lower part of the sliding door, sliding in conjunction with the lower horizontal sliding rail. When the sliding door needs to be opened, pushing it to the right causes the upper part of the door to move along the upper horizontal sliding rail via the first slider, and the lower part to move along the lower horizontal sliding rail via the second slider. By reducing the length of the sliding rails, the entire sliding action of the sliding door involves sliding along both upper and lower rails, resulting in higher stability during operation.

[0007] Furthermore, in order to match the travel of the first slider and the second slider with the extension direction and length of the upper and lower horizontal slide rails, the first slider is located on the left side of the upper back of the movable door, and the second slider is located on the right side of the lower back of the movable door.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the sliding door, a first horizontal slide rail is provided on the back of the upper end of the sliding door, a second horizontal slide rail is provided on the back of the lower end of the sliding door, a third slider is provided on the right end of the upper horizontal slide rail, and a fourth slider is provided on the left end of the lower horizontal slide rail. The third slider is slidably engaged with the first horizontal slide rail, and the fourth slider is slidably engaged with the second horizontal slide rail.

[0009] Specifically, slide rails are installed on the sliding door, and sliders are fixedly installed on the upper and lower horizontal slide rails. This allows two spaced sliders at the top and bottom of the sliding door to move along the corresponding slide rails, further increasing the stability of the sliding door during the pushing and pulling process.

[0010] Furthermore, to improve the smoothness of the sliding fit, the grooves on the upper transverse slide rail, the lower transverse slide rail, the first transverse slide rail, and the second transverse slide rail all have arc-shaped inner walls and openings communicating with the arc-shaped inner walls. The first slider, the second slider, the third slider, and the fourth slider all have arc-shaped ends and radial extensions. The arc-shaped ends slide in fit with the arc-shaped inner walls, and the radial extensions slide in fit with the openings.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to better facilitate the installation of the first slider and the second slider, the left end of the upper horizontal slide rail extends beyond the left end of the doorway, the upper left corner of the movable door is provided with a left extension end, the first slider is located on the back of the left extension end, the lower right corner of the movable door is provided with a right extension end, and the second slider is located on the back of the right extension end.

[0012] Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the movable door, the movable door includes a frame and a door panel, the door panel being disposed within the frame, and the first and second transverse slide rails, the left extension end, and the right extension end being disposed on the frame.

[0013] Furthermore, in order to improve the service life of the frame, the frame is made of aluminum alloy.

[0014] Furthermore, in order to improve the service life of the slide rails, both the upper and lower horizontal slide rails are made of aluminum alloy.

[0015] Furthermore, in order to better seal the doorway, a sealing strip is provided between the outer periphery of the frame and the doorway.

[0016] Furthermore, to facilitate the pushing and pulling operation of the movable door, a push-pull handle is provided on the movable door.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this technical solution, an upper horizontal sliding rail is embedded at the top of the doorway, and a lower horizontal sliding rail is embedded on the front of the shower enclosure at the bottom of the doorway. The upper and lower horizontal sliding rails are staggered. Compared to vertical sliding rails, the horizontal sliding rails are shorter and are embedded, preventing them from protruding from the surface of the enclosure, thus improving the uniformity and aesthetics of the shower enclosure. Furthermore, a first slider is located on the back of the upper part of the sliding door, sliding with the upper horizontal sliding rail. A second slider is located on the back of the lower part of the sliding door, sliding with the lower horizontal sliding rail. When the sliding door needs to be opened, pushing it to the right causes the upper part of the door to move along the upper horizontal sliding rail via the first slider, and the lower part to move along the lower horizontal sliding rail via the second slider. With a reduced rail length, the entire sliding action of the sliding door involves sliding along both upper and lower rails, resulting in higher stability during operation.
