Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom fixtures, and in particular to an installation structure for a panel and a housing. Background Technology
[0002] The installation of existing shower body shells and panels typically involves applying adhesive evenly to the surface where the shell and panel will meet using a caulking gun, then aligning the panel with the shell's adhesive surface and bonding it in place. Clamps or tape are used to secure the panel, ensuring accurate alignment and preventing displacement. The shower body is then placed in a well-ventilated, dry area to allow the adhesive to fully cure. Finally, a scraper is used to remove any excess adhesive. This installation process is quite complex. Furthermore, during later installation and maintenance, when the panel needs to be removed, a utility knife is required to cut and peel off the adhesive from the gap between the shell and panel, or an adhesive remover is used to dissolve the adhesive before removing the panel. Therefore, the entire disassembly and assembly process is time-consuming and difficult to maintain and service.
[0003] In view of this, the inventors of this case conducted in-depth research on the above-mentioned problems, which led to the creation of this case. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation structure for the panel and housing in a shower body that facilitates panel removal and maintenance of the shower body.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an installation structure for a panel and a housing in a shower body, comprising a housing and a panel, the panel being installed on the top surface of the housing, and a clamping member being provided on the bottom surface of the panel. This clamping member has an installation part that is fixedly installed and cooperates with the bottom surface of the panel and an elastic clamping part located below the installation part and capable of elastically resetting up and down. There is a clamping gap between the elastic clamping part and the installation part. A clamping block is provided on the top surface of the housing corresponding to the clamping member. The clamping block is partially or completely clamped within the clamping gap, and the panel and the housing are in close contact. The first end of the elastic clamping part is connected to the first end of the installation part. There is an insertion space between the second end of the elastic clamping part and the second end of the installation part, facing the clamping block and allowing the clamping block to extend into it. Furthermore, a tightening structure is provided on the side of the elastic clamping part facing the installation part, which can tighten the clamping block.
[0006] The top surface of the housing is open, and an integrally formed mounting piece is located within the opening of the housing. The top surface of the mounting piece is recessed with a receiving groove for the mounting part to be accommodated. The mounting piece has a notch communicating with the receiving groove on the side facing the clamping member. This mounting piece is the clamping block.
[0007] The clamping member has a horizontally extending plate and a lower plate below the horizontal plate. The lower plate has a first inclined plate extending upward and a second inclined plate extending downward. The first end of the first inclined plate and the first end of the second inclined plate are integrally formed and connected. The first inclined plate and the second inclined plate form a flared space that gradually widens from top to bottom. There is a first gap between the first inclined plate and the horizontal plate, with one end being wider than the other in the vertical direction. There is a second gap between the second inclined plate and the horizontal plate, with one end being wider than the other in the vertical direction. The lower plate is located between the first end of the first inclined plate and the first inclined plate. The first end of the two inclined plates forms a pointed structure, and there is a third gap between the pointed structure and the horizontal plate. The second end of the first inclined plate and the first end of the horizontal plate are connected by an arc transition through an arc plate. The second end of the second inclined plate and the second end of the horizontal plate form a flared gap that gradually widens from the first end to the second end of the horizontal plate. This flared gap is the second gap. The horizontal plate is the mounting part, the lower plate is the clamping part, and the pointed structure is the tightening structure. The first gap, the second gap, and the third gap constitute the clamping gap. The second gap is the insertion space.
[0008] The aforementioned horizontal plate is bonded to the panel.
[0009] With the length direction of the shell as the left and right direction, the bottom surface of the panel is provided with several sets of clamping structures. Each set of clamping structures is arranged at intervals along the left and right sides. Each set of clamping structures has at least one clamping member. The first spacing of the clamping members is to the left of the second spacing, and the notch is to the left of the receiving groove.
[0010] With the length direction of the shell as the left and right direction, the bottom surface of the panel is provided with several sets of clamping structures. Each set of clamping structures is arranged at intervals along the left and right sides. Each set of clamping structures has at least one clamping member. The first spacing of the clamping member is to the right of the second spacing, and the notch is to the right of the receiving groove.
[0011] After adopting the above technical solution, the installation structure of the panel and shell in the shower body of this utility model is applied by setting the insertion space of the clamping member on the panel and the clamping block of the shell laterally opposite each other. Then, the panel is pushed and the clamping block is moved into the space between the installation part and the elastic clamping part through the opening of the insertion space. Since the distance between the installation part and the elastic clamping part is less than the thickness of the clamping block, the clamping block is clamped by the installation part and the elastic clamping part and cannot move up and down. Then, the clamping structure of the elastic clamping part presses the clamping block tightly, so that the clamping block is not easily moved laterally by external force. Thus, the clamping block is clamped by the clamping member, realizing the fixed installation of the panel on the shell. When disassembling, the panel is pulled away from the clamping block with a little force, and the clamping member on the panel can separate the clamping block, realizing the disassembly of the panel from the shell. Compared with the prior art, the installation structure of the panel and shell in the shower body of this invention allows the panel to be installed and removed from the shell with just a push and a pull, making the panel installation and removal simple and convenient, easy to maintain the shower body, the whole structure is simple, the manufacturing cost is low, there is no need to replace the panel, and the application range is wide. Attached Figure Description
[0012] Figure 1 This is an exploded perspective view of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0013] This utility model discloses an installation structure for the panel and shell in a shower body, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a housing 1 and a panel 2. The panel 2 is mounted on the top surface of the housing 1. The housing is a hollow square frame with an open top surface. The panel 2 covers the top surface of the housing 1 with the length direction of the housing as the left-right direction. It is used to seal the top opening of the housing 1. In this invention, the panel is an acrylic sheet or a glass sheet.
[0014] The bottom surface of the panel 2 is provided with a clamping member 3. Specifically, the clamping member 3 has a mounting part 31 that is fixedly installed and cooperates with the bottom surface of the panel 1, and an elastic clamping part 32 located below the mounting part and capable of elastically resetting up and down. The clamping member is preferably made of steel, but can also be made of plastic. There is a clamping gap between the elastic clamping part 32 and the mounting part 31. The top surface of the housing 1 is provided with a clamping block 11 corresponding to the clamping member. The clamping block 11 is partially or completely clamped between the mounting part 31 and the elastic clamping part 32, and the panel 2 and the housing 1 are closely fitted. The first end of the elastic clamping part 32 is connected to the first end of the mounting part 31. There is an insertion space between the second end of the elastic clamping part 32 and the second end of the mounting part 31 facing the clamping block and allowing the clamping block to extend into it. The side of the elastic clamping part facing the mounting part is provided with a clamping structure that can clamp the clamping block.
[0015] Specifically, the top surface of the housing 1 is integrally formed with a mounting piece within the opening range of the housing 1. The mounting piece is a square piece, and the top surface of the mounting piece is recessed with a receiving groove 111 for the mounting part to be accommodated. The mounting piece has a notch (not shown in the figure) on the side facing the clamping member that communicates with the receiving groove. This mounting piece is the clamping block 11. Preferably, the receiving groove 111 is a strip-shaped groove extending in the left-right direction. The size of this strip-shaped groove matches the size of the mounting part 31. The thickness of the mounting piece within the receiving groove 111 is greater than the distance between the clamping structure and the mounting part 31. The notch is located on the left side of the receiving groove 111, that is, the left side of the receiving groove leads to the left side of the mounting piece.
[0016] The clamping member 3 has a straight horizontal plate and a lower plate below the horizontal plate. The horizontal plate is a rectangular plate extending in the left and right direction. The horizontal plate is the mounting part 31. The horizontal plate is bonded to the panel with adhesive. In application, because the horizontal plate is within the space of the panel and the size of the horizontal plate is much smaller than the size of the panel, when the horizontal plate is bonded to the panel and excess adhesive is generated, the excess adhesive will not be exposed outside the panel.
[0017] The lower plate is the clamping part, and it has a first inclined plate 321 extending upward and a second inclined plate 322 extending downward. The first end of the first inclined plate 321 and the first end of the second inclined plate 322 are integrally formed and connected. The first inclined plate 321 and the second inclined plate 322 form a flared space that gradually expands from top to bottom. Specifically, the first inclined plate 321 is located to the left of the second inclined plate 322, and the right end of the first inclined plate 321 and the left end of the second inclined plate 322 are integrally formed. The first inclined plate 321 is an inclined plate that slopes upward from left to right, and the second inclined plate 322 is an inclined plate that slopes downward from left to right. There is a first gap between the first inclined plate and the horizontal plate, with one end being wider than the other in the vertical direction. There is a second gap between the second inclined plate and the horizontal plate, with one end being wider than the other in the vertical direction. The plate body forms a pointed structure at the first end of the first inclined plate and the first end of the second inclined plate. There is a third gap between the pointed structure and the horizontal plate. That is, there is a first gap between the first inclined plate 321 and the horizontal plate with the left end being larger and the right end being smaller. There is a second gap between the second inclined plate 322 and the horizontal plate with the left end being smaller and the right end being larger. The first inclined plate 321 and the second inclined plate 322 form an inverted V shape. The tip of the inverted V shape is the pointed structure. The pointed structure is the clamping structure. The first gap, the second gap and the third gap constitute the clamping space. The second gap is the insertion space. The left end of the first inclined plate 321 and the left end of the horizontal plate are connected by an arc transition through an arc plate 323. Correspondingly, there is a flared gap that gradually expands from left to right between the right end of the second inclined plate 322 and the right end of the horizontal plate. This flared gap is the second gap.
[0018] This utility model discloses an installation structure for a shower body panel and a housing. In application, the panel 2 is first placed flat on the housing 1, with the clamping member 3 on the panel 2 positioned to the left of the clamping block 11. Then, the panel 2 is pushed to the right, causing the clamping member 3 to move to the clamping block 11. At this point, the panel 2 is pushed to the right again, and the left end of the clamping block 11 extends between the lower plate and the horizontal plate through a second gap. Utilizing the elasticity of the lower plate, the lower plate is pressed downwards, allowing the entire left side of the clamping block 11 to move into the clamping gap between the lower plate and the horizontal plate. After translation, the lower plate exerts an upward holding force on the clamping block 11, clamping it tightly against the lower plate. The panel will not move up or down between the clamping structure and the horizontal plate. Because the distance between the clamping structure and the horizontal plate is less than the thickness of the clamping block, the elastic clamping part presses against the clamping block, making the clamping block less susceptible to easy lateral movement under external force. The clamping block is then clamped by the clamping component, achieving a fixed installation of the panel on the housing. Simultaneously, the horizontal plate falls precisely into the receiving groove 111 of the clamping block 11, ensuring that the panel remains tightly fitted to the housing after clamping by the clamping component and the clamping block, unaffected by the clamping component. During disassembly, pulling the panel to the left causes it to slide horizontally. The clamping component, subjected to the tension of the panel and the elasticity of the elastic clamping part, moves horizontally to the left along the clamping block, separating from it and achieving panel removal from the housing. Compared to existing technologies, this new installation structure for the panel and housing in a shower body allows for easy panel removal and installation with just a push and pull, simplifying and facilitating shower body maintenance. The entire structure is simple, has low manufacturing costs, requires no panel replacement, and has a wide range of applications.
[0019] In this invention, to improve the stable installation of the panel and the housing, the bottom surface of the panel is provided with several sets of clamping structures. Each set of clamping structures is arranged at intervals from left to right, and each set of clamping structures has at least one clamping member 3. Correspondingly, the clamping blocks of the housing are aligned with each clamping member. This embodiment takes three sets as an example, and two of the clamping structures have only one clamping member, while the remaining set of clamping structures has two clamping members arranged in a front-to-back pattern.
[0020] In this invention, the first inclined plate may also be located to the right of the second inclined plate, and correspondingly, the notch of the receiving groove on the clamping block is also located to the right of the receiving groove.
[0021] In this invention, in order to enhance the clamping force between the clamping member and the clamping block, a V-shaped groove can be recessed on the bottom surface of the clamping block. This V-shaped groove matches the pointed top structure, and during installation, the pointed top structure can be just inserted into the V-shaped groove, further preventing relative translation between the clamping member and the clamping block.
[0022] The product form of this utility model is not limited to the illustrations and embodiments in this case. Any appropriate changes or modifications made to it based on similar ideas should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
