Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hinge equipment, and specifically relates to a water guiding structure for a shower room door hinge. Background Technology

[0002] Shower door hinges are hardware accessories used to connect the shower door and the door frame, allowing the door to rotate around its axis to open and close. Currently, some shower door hinges have room for improvement in their waterproofing design. Water vapor and droplets generated during showering easily accumulate at the hinge, leading to prolonged exposure to a humid environment. This causes the metal material to oxidize and corrode, affecting the hinge's rotational flexibility and structural stability, thus reducing its lifespan. Accumulated water can also seep through the hinge gaps into the door frame or wall, causing surrounding materials to become damp, deformed, and moldy. Conventional solutions often involve using materials with good waterproofing properties, such as 304 stainless steel or copper alloys, or applying special surface treatments to the hinge, such as chrome plating or spraying anti-corrosion coatings. However, these methods only slow down the rate of corrosion to a certain extent and cannot fundamentally solve the problem of moisture accumulation. With increased use and repeated exposure to moisture, the protective effect gradually weakens, making it difficult to meet long-term usage requirements. Therefore, a new structure is needed to address these technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water guiding structure for a shower door hinge, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a water-guiding structure for a shower door hinge, comprising: a hinge assembly and a housing assembly. The outer surface of the hinge assembly is fitted with a housing assembly for water guidance. The hinge assembly includes a first hinge and a second hinge for connecting to the door frame and the door panel. The first hinge and the second hinge are hinged together by a hinge connector. The hinge connector is installed inside the first hinge and the second hinge. The housing assembly includes a first housing and a second housing for water drainage. The first housing is fitted with a first housing on the outer surface of the first hinge, and the second housing is fitted with a second housing on the outer surface of the second hinge. A water-guiding groove is formed on the outer surface of the first housing. In use, the first hinge and the second hinge are connected to the door frame and the door panel respectively, forming a stable connection structure through the hinge connector. This design can evenly distribute the weight of the door panel, making the connection between the door panel and the door frame more reliable, ensuring that the shower door will not easily loosen or deform during long-term use, and extending the service life of the door.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment, the hinge includes a hinge body, a sliding groove, and a hinge hole. The cross-section of the hinge body is an upward-opening U-shaped structure. Sliding grooves are provided on the left edge of the front and rear surfaces of the hinge body, and the sliding grooves are arc-shaped.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, a hinge hole is provided at the upper left corner of the front surface and the rear surface of the hinge body one, respectively. The hinge two includes a hinge body two, a hinge post one, and a hinge post two. The hinge post one and the hinge post two are installed on the inner surface of the hinge body two.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the first hinge post and the second hinge post have the same structure. The first hinge post is rotatably connected to the hinge hole, and the second hinge post is slidably connected to the slide groove. The second hinge body is hinged to the first hinge body through the first hinge post, the second hinge post, the hinge hole, and the slide groove.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the hinge includes a connecting rod, a limiting ring, a spring, and a limiting seat. The limiting ring is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the connecting rod, and the limiting seat is mounted on the upper surface of the hinge body. The front end of the connecting rod is recessed inward to form an arc-shaped groove.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the arc-shaped structure of the arc-shaped groove matches the outer surface of the second hinge post, the connecting rod is snapped into the outer surface of the second hinge post through the arc-shaped groove, and the end of the connecting rod away from the second hinge post moves through the center of the limiting seat.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a spring is installed between the inner surface of the limiting ring and the inner surface of the limiting seat via a connecting rod. The two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the inner surface of the limiting ring and the inner surface of the limiting seat. A first outer shell is installed on the upper surface of the first hinge body, and a second outer shell is installed on the upper surface of the second hinge body. During use, the water-guiding groove and its hydrophobic coating on the first outer shell can guide the water splashed on the hinge during showering to the ground in time, preventing water from accumulating at the hinge, avoiding rust and corrosion, and extending its service life. At the same time, the first and second outer shells enclose the first and second hinges, forming a basic protective barrier. This not only prevents most water sources from directly contacting the hinge and causing rust, but also reduces the entry of dust, debris, etc. into the hinge, ensuring the normal operation of the hinge's rotating parts and making the door open and close more smoothly.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the outer surfaces of the first hinge body, the first outer shell, the second hinge body, and the second outer shell are all provided with a hydrophobic coating. The outer surface of the first outer shell is provided with multiple water-guiding grooves, and both ends of the first and second outer shells are arc-shaped.

[0012] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By setting a hinge assembly, the hinge assembly includes hinge one and hinge two for connecting with the door frame and door panel. Hinges one and hinge two are hinged together by hinge connectors. Hinges one and hinge two have hinge connectors installed inside. In use, hinges one and hinge two are connected to the door frame and door panel respectively, and a stable connection structure is formed by hinge connectors. This design can evenly distribute the weight of the door panel, making the connection between the door panel and the door frame more reliable, ensuring that the shower room door will not easily loosen or deform during long-term use, and extending the service life of the door.

[0013] 2. By setting up an outer shell assembly, a water-guiding outer shell assembly is installed on the outer surface of the hinge assembly. The outer shell assembly includes a first outer shell and a second outer shell for drainage. The outer surface of hinge one is equipped with the first outer shell, and the outer surface of hinge two is equipped with the second outer shell. The outer surface of the first outer shell has a water-guiding groove for drainage. During use, the water-guiding groove and its hydrophobic coating on the first outer shell can guide the water splashed on the hinge during showering to the ground in time, preventing water from accumulating at the hinge, avoiding rust and corrosion, and extending its service life. At the same time, the first and second outer shells enclose hinge one and hinge two, forming a basic protective barrier. This not only prevents most water sources from directly contacting the hinge and causing rust, but also reduces the entry of dust, debris, etc. into the hinge, ensuring the normal operation of the hinge's rotating parts and making the door open and close more smoothly.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As the first embodiment of this utility model: a water guiding structure for a shower door hinge, comprising: a hinge assembly and a housing assembly, wherein the outer surface of the hinge assembly is fitted with a housing assembly for water guiding, the hinge assembly includes a hinge one and a hinge two for connecting with the door frame and the door panel, the hinge one and the hinge two are hinged by a hinge member, the hinge one and the hinge two are fitted with a hinge member inside, the housing assembly includes a housing one 310 and a housing two 300 for water drainage, the outer surface of the hinge one is fitted with a housing one 310, the outer surface of the hinge two is fitted with a housing two 300, and the outer surface of the housing one 310 is provided with a water guiding groove 320 for water guiding;

[0024] The hinge includes a hinge body 100, a slide groove 101 and a hinge hole 102. The cross section of the hinge body 100 is an upward-opening U-shaped structure. The front and rear surfaces of the hinge body 100 are provided with a slide groove 101, which is an arc-shaped structure.

[0025] A hinge hole 102 is provided on the upper left corner of the front and rear surfaces of the hinge body 100. The hinge 2 includes a hinge body 200, a hinge post 1 210 and a hinge post 220. The hinge post 1 210 and the hinge post 220 are installed on the inner surface of the hinge body 200.

[0026] Hinged post 1 210 and hinged post 220 have the same structure. Hinged post 1 210 is rotatably connected to hinge hole 102, and hinged post 220 is slidably connected to slide groove 101. Hinged body 200 is hingedly connected to hinge body 100 through hinged post 1 210, hinged post 220, hinge hole 102 and slide groove 101.

[0027] The hinge includes a connecting rod 120, a limiting ring 121, a spring 130, and a limiting seat 110. The limiting ring 121 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the connecting rod 120, and the limiting seat 110 is installed on the upper surface of the hinge body 100. The front end of the connecting rod 120 is recessed inward to form an arc-shaped groove 122.

[0028] The arc-shaped structure of the arc-shaped groove 122 matches the outer surface of the hinge post 220. The connecting rod 120 is connected to the outer surface of the hinge post 220 through the arc-shaped groove 122. The end of the connecting rod 120 away from the hinge post 220 moves through the center of the limiting seat 110.

[0029] A spring 130 is installed between the inner surface of the limiting ring 121 and the inner surface of the limiting seat 110 via a connecting rod 120. The two ends of the spring 130 are connected to the inner surface of the limiting ring 121 and the inner surface of the limiting seat 110, respectively. A housing 310 is installed on the upper surface of the hinge body 100, and a housing 300 is installed on the upper surface of the hinge body 200.

[0030] In use, the user first connects hinge body 100 to the door frame, then connects hinge body 200 to the door panel. Multiple hinge components are then installed sequentially. When the door panel is opened, hinge body 100, being fixed to the door frame surface, will not shift. Hinge body 200 will change angle due to the door panel's movement. Hinge body 200 moves along the slide groove 101 via its internal hinge post 220, while hinge post 210 rotates along the hinge hole 102. At this point, hinge post 220 engages with hinge post 220 as it moves along the slide groove 101. The connecting rod 120 will move along with the hinge post 220 due to the movement of the connecting rod 120, thus placing the connecting rod 120 horizontally. This causes the compressed spring 130 on the outer surface of the connecting rod 120 to recover, thereby closing the door panel. The door panel can be opened by reversing the above principle, which is convenient for users. During use, hinge one and hinge two are connected to the door frame and the door panel respectively, forming a stable connection structure through the hinge. This design can evenly distribute the weight of the door panel, making the connection between the door panel and the door frame more reliable. This ensures that the shower room door will not easily loosen or deform during long-term use, thus extending the service life of the door.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 4As a second embodiment of the present utility model: based on the description in the above embodiments, further, the outer surfaces of the hinge body 100, the outer shell 310, the hinge body 200 and the outer shell 300 are all provided with a hydrophobic coating, the outer surface of the outer shell 310 is provided with a plurality of water guide grooves 320, and the two ends of the outer shell 310 and the outer shell 300 are both arc-shaped structures.

[0032] When the hinge assembly is in use, the outer shell 310 and outer shell 300 on the outer surface of the hinge assembly are installed on the outer surface of the hinge. When water falls on the outer surface of the hinge assembly, it will first come into contact with the outer shell assembly. Then, the hydrophobic coating and water guide groove 320 on the outer surface of the outer shell assembly will guide the water to the ground, preventing it from accumulating on the surface of the hinge assembly and preventing water from staying on the outer surface of the hinge assembly for a long time, thus preventing the hinge from being corroded by prolonged water retention. Because the water guide groove 320 and its hydrophobic coating on the outer shell 310 can guide the water splashed on the hinge during showering to the ground in time, preventing water from accumulating at the hinge, avoiding the hinge from rusting and corrosion, and extending its service life. At the same time, the outer shell 310 and outer shell 300 enclose the hinges, forming a basic protective barrier. This not only prevents most water from directly contacting the hinge and causing rust, but also reduces the entry of dust and debris into the hinge, ensuring the normal operation of the hinge's rotating parts and making the door open and close more smoothly.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
