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] Shower enclosures are widely used in home bathrooms, hotel bathrooms, apartments and other places to provide people with independent shower space. The glass doors of existing shower enclosures are usually connected by hinges. Depending on the shape and structure of the hinges, it is necessary to drill round holes, cut notches, cut irregular holes, etc. on the glass, and then use screws to fix the hinges to the glass to build a usable shower space. However, there are the following problems: (1) The hinges and screws are exposed, which affects the overall aesthetics of the shower enclosure; (2) The glass is easily damaged. Drilling holes or cutting notches on the glass will damage the overall structure of the glass, which will reduce the strength of the glass at the holes or notches. During use, the hinges are subjected to a large external force impact, which may transfer the force to the glass and cause the glass to break; (3) Increased costs. Drilling holes and cutting notches on the glass increases processing costs, scrap costs and inspection costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the aforementioned technical problems in related technologies. To this end, this utility model proposes a shower room door structure.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] The shower room door structure according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes:
[0006] A fixed glass panel is provided with a first door frame on one side, and the first door frame is provided with a first receiving cavity.
[0007] The movable glass has a second door frame installed on one side, and the second door frame has a second receiving cavity.
[0008] A hinge assembly includes a first hinge body, a second hinge body, and a pivot. The first hinge body includes a first mounting plate and a hinge cavity formed in the middle of the first mounting plate. The pivot is vertically installed in the hinge cavity. Screw holes are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the first mounting plate. The first hinge body is embedded in the first accommodating cavity. The second hinge body includes a second mounting plate and an adapter. The adapter includes a sleeve and an L-shaped connecting frame composed of a vertical connecting edge and a horizontal connecting edge. The sleeve is connected to the end of the vertical connecting edge away from the horizontal connecting edge. The sleeve has a shaft hole and is rotatably mounted on the pivot. The end of the horizontal connecting edge away from the vertical connecting edge is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate. Screw holes are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the second mounting plate. The second mounting plate is embedded in the second accommodating cavity.
