Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a side-sliding shower door that does not require left or right switching. Background Technology
[0002] The bathroom screens commonly used in the market today usually have a door installed on them for easy access for shower users. Modern shower doors are similar to ordinary doors, with the door panel and door frame hinged together. The door is opened and closed by rotating the door panel. However, the door panel takes up a lot of space when it is open, which is a problem in a bathroom with limited space. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model provides a side-sliding shower door that eliminates the need for left-right switching.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0005] A side-sliding shower door that can be switched left and right includes a first support and a second support perpendicular to each other, and a shower door. The first support includes a first screen, first frames on both sides of the first screen, and first slide rails at the top and bottom of the first screen. The second support includes a second screen, second frames on both sides of the second screen, and second slide rails at the top and bottom of the second screen. The first slide rail and the second slide rail are vertically connected. The shower door includes a rectangular door panel, a handle on the door panel, and wheel sets at the four corners of the door panel. The wheel sets on one side of the door panel are slidably mounted on the first slide rail, and the wheel sets on the other side of the door panel are slidably mounted on the second slide rail.
[0006] Preferably, the wheel assembly includes a mounting plate and a support plate, with two pulleys arranged side-by-side on the support plate.
[0007] Preferably, there are two mounting plates, which are respectively set on both sides of the door panel and then fixed with screws. One mounting plate has a first connecting sleeve spaced vertically along its edge, and the support plate has a second connecting sleeve along its edge. The first connecting sleeve on the mounting plate and the second connecting sleeve on the support plate are connected by a connecting shaft, and the support plate can rotate along the edge of the mounting plate.
[0008] Preferably, a limiting element is provided on the first slide rail.
[0009] Preferably, the length of the second slide rail is wider than the width of the second screen.
[0010] Preferably, the length of the second slide rail extending from the second screen is the same as the width of the shower door.
[0011] Compared to existing technologies, this utility model's side-sliding shower door, which eliminates the need for left-right interchange, uses precision bearings and high-polymer wear-resistant materials for its rollers, reducing sliding resistance and achieving a smooth, touch-sensitive operation, making it especially suitable for small bathroom spaces. The standardized interface design of the roller assembly and track, secured with screw holes, supports quick installation and replacement, reducing maintenance costs while remaining compatible with different door sizes. The shower door slides open and closes, occupying minimal space. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0017] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the side-sliding shower door that can be switched left and right includes a first support 1 and a second support 2 that are perpendicular to each other, and a shower door 3. The first support 1 includes a first screen 11, first frame 12 on both sides of the first screen 11, and first slide rails 13 on the top and bottom of the first screen 11. The second support 2 includes a second screen 21, second frame 22 on both sides of the second screen 21, and second slide rails 23 on the top and bottom of the second screen 21. The length of the second slide rail 23 is wider than the width of the second screen 21, and the length of the second slide rail 23 extending from the second screen 21 is the same as the width of the shower door 3. The first slide rail 13 and the second slide rail 23 are vertically connected, and a limit member 4 is provided on the first slide rail 13.
[0018] The shower door 3 includes a rectangular door panel 31, a handle 32 on the door panel, and wheel sets 33 at the four corners of the door panel 31. The wheel set 33 on one side of the door panel 31 is slidably mounted on the first slide rail 13, and the wheel set 33 on the other side of the door panel 31 is slidably mounted on the second slide rail 23.
[0019] The wheel assembly 33 includes a mounting plate 331 and a support plate 332. Two pulleys 333 are arranged side by side on the support plate 332. There are two mounting plates 331, which are respectively set on both sides of the door panel 31 and then fixed with screws, making installation simple. One of the mounting plates 331 has a first connecting sleeve 3311 spaced vertically along its edge, and the support plate 332 has a second connecting sleeve 3321 along its edge. The first connecting sleeve 3311 on the mounting plate 331 and the second connecting sleeve 3321 on the support plate 332 are connected by a connecting shaft 334, so that the support plate 332 can rotate along the edge of the mounting plate 331.
[0020] When it is necessary to close the shower door 3, the entire shower door 3 is located on the second bracket 2.
[0021] When it is necessary to open the shower door 3, pull the handle 32 to make the wheel set 33 located on the left side of the door panel 31 slide along the first slide rail 13. When the wheel set 33 slides to the limit piece 4 located on the first slide rail 13, it stops. At this time, the door panel 31 is completely parallel to the first screen 11, thus realizing the opening of the shower door 3.
[0022] This utility model features a sliding shower door with rollers 333 that eliminate the need for left-right interchange. These rollers utilize precision bearings and high-polymer wear-resistant materials to reduce sliding resistance, enabling a smooth, touch-sensitive operation of the shower door 3, making it particularly suitable for small bathroom spaces. The standardized interface design between the roller assembly 33 and the track, secured with screw holes, allows for quick installation and replacement, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring compatibility with different door sizes. The shower door 3 slides open and closes, occupying minimal space.
[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments only illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
