[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the various embodiments of this utility model adopt the following technical solutions, but are not limited to the following solutions:

[0005] The first technical solution relates to a guide rail anti-sagging adjustment device for a sliding door shower room, comprising: a guide rail located above the sliding door and extending along the sliding door's movement direction; a support structure including a support member or an outer casing; and an adjustment member arranged perpendicular to the sliding door's movement direction and adjustablely connected to the support structure; when the support structure is a support member, the support member is an arched structure spanning the inner side of the guide rail, with both ends of the support member fixed to the inner wall of the guide rail, and the adjustment member tensioning the support member by abutting against the inner wall of the guide rail to provide upward support force for the guide rail; when the support structure is an outer casing, the outer casing covers the outer side of the guide rail and forms a gap with the guide rail, with both ends of the outer casing fixed to the guide rail, and the adjustment member changing the gap by stretching the outer casing to deform and tighten the outer casing, generating an upward pulling force to correct the sagging of the guide rail.

[0006] The second technical solution is based on the first technical solution, wherein the adjusting component is connected to the supporting structure by a threaded connection so that the adjusting component can be adjusted in a direction perpendicular to the movement of the sliding door.

[0007] The third technical solution is based on the second technical solution, wherein the support member is pressed and fixed by abutting against the inner wall of the guide rail; the support member is provided with at least one pair of first threaded holes in the middle, and the adjusting member passes through the first threaded holes and abuts against the inner wall of the guide rail to provide support force.

[0008] The fourth technical solution is based on the third technical solution, wherein the first threaded holes are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the middle part of the support, and the arch height of the support is adapted to the height of the inner cavity of the guide rail.

[0009] The fifth technical solution is based on the second technical solution, wherein the support structure further includes a fixing block, and the two ends of the outer package are fixed to the outside of the guide rail by the fixing block. The fixing block is located between the two ends of the guide rail along the moving direction of the sliding door and the outer package, so that a gap is formed between the middle of the outer package and the guide rail.

[0010] The sixth technical solution is based on the fifth technical solution, wherein the outer package has at least one pair of second threaded holes in the middle, the adjusting component passes through the guide rail and connects to the second threaded holes, and the outer package is pulled upward to lift the guide rail by tightening the adjusting component.

[0011] The seventh technical solution is based on the sixth technical solution, wherein the second threaded holes are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the middle part of the outer casing.

[0012] The eighth technical solution is based on the seventh technical solution, wherein the fixing block is a pad block, and the adjusting component passes through the guide rail and the fixing block and is fixedly connected to the outer casing.

[0013] The ninth technical solution is based on the second technical solution, wherein the support and outer casing are made of stainless steel, and the adjusting component is a bolt.

[0014] The tenth technical solution is based on any one of the first to ninth technical solutions, wherein a sliding door shower room adopts the above-mentioned guide rail anti-sagging adjustment device.

[0015] As can be seen from the above description of the various embodiments of the present utility model, compared with the prior art, the various embodiments of the present utility model have the following beneficial effects:

[0016] In the first technical solution and related embodiments, by combining the built-in arched support or outer casing with the guide rail, and by applying an adjustable adjusting member perpendicular to the sliding door's movement direction, the device can provide stable support or tension for the guide rail. Specifically, when using the arched support, its two ends are pressed and fixed by the inner wall of the guide rail, and the adjusting member applies an upward support force by pressing against the inner wall of the guide rail. This design is inspired by the arched support structure of bridges, preventing the guide rail from sagging. When using the outer casing, its two ends are fixed to the outer side of the guide rail, and a gap is formed between the outer casing and the guide rail in the middle. The adjusting member generates an upward tension by stretching the outer casing. This design draws on the principle of bridge cable structures, similarly achieving the purpose of correcting guide rail sagging.

[0017] In the second technical solution and related embodiments, the adjusting component is connected to the supporting structure via a threaded connection. Its adjustment action is performed perpendicular to the direction of the sliding door's movement, that is, it provides necessary support or tension to the guide rail to correct the potential sagging trend of the sliding door. The entire adjustment process is simple to operate and easy to implement.

[0018] In the third technical solution and related embodiments, stainless steel support components and outer casings are used to enhance the corrosion resistance and structural strength of the device, ensuring long-term stability and reliability. At the same time, bolts are used as adjustment components, and the adjustment function is achieved through threaded connection, which is simple to operate and has low maintenance costs.

[0019] In the fourth technical solution and related embodiments, this is one example. In embodiments targeting aluminum materials (such as aluminum profile guide rails), when the customer prefers this design, a support member spanning the inner side of the guide rail is used. This support member does not require complex fixed connections at both ends; stable installation is achieved solely through the clamping force of the guide rail's inner wall, simplifying the installation process. A first threaded hole in the middle of the support member allows an adjusting component (such as a bolt) to pass through and press against the inner wall of the guide rail, providing support as needed, preventing guide rail sagging, and maintaining convenient and efficient adjustment.

[0020] In the fifth technical solution and related embodiments, the symmetrical distribution of the first threaded holes in the middle of the support enhances the force balance of the support, allowing the adjusting component to distribute the support force more evenly during installation and adjustment. Simultaneously, the matching of the arch height of the support with the inner height of the guide rail ensures that the support can abut against the inner side of the guide rail, allowing the support to be tensioned to provide upward support force to the guide rail.

[0021] In the sixth technical solution and related embodiments, this is one embodiment. For stainless steel appearance (steel-clad aluminum structure guide rail), when the customer prefers this design, a stainless steel outer casing is used as the support structure. The two ends of the outer casing are firmly connected to the outside of the guide rail by fixing blocks, creating an adjustable gap between the middle of the outer casing and the guide rail. This allows the adjusting component to stretch the outer casing, causing it to deform and tighten, thereby generating an upward pulling force and correcting the sagging phenomenon of the guide rail.

[0022] In the seventh technical solution and related embodiments, at least one pair of second threaded holes are provided in the middle of the outer casing, allowing an adjusting component (such as a bolt) to pass through and connect to the guide rail. By tightening the adjusting component, an upward lifting effect can be achieved on the outer casing. This simplifies the adjustment process, ensures that the adjusting component can directly act on the guide rail, transmit upward pulling force, and correct the sagging of the guide rail.

[0023] In the eighth technical solution and related embodiments, the second threaded holes are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the middle part of the outer casing to ensure that the adjusting component can apply tension evenly to the outer casing when tightening.

[0024] In the ninth technical solution and related embodiments, the pad serves to fix both ends of the outer casing, ensuring that a gap is formed between the outer casing and the guide rail.

[0025] In the tenth technical solution and related embodiments, the adjustment device can be flexibly adapted to different guide rail materials and structural characteristics (such as aluminum profiles or steel-clad aluminum structures), and the sag of the guide rail can be corrected by adjusting the components to ensure the smooth operation and stability of the sliding door.

[0038] See Figures 1 to 4 A guide rail 2 anti-sagging adjustment device for a sliding door shower room, comprising a guide rail 2, a support structure and an adjustment component 5.

[0039] The guide rail 2, located above the sliding door 1 and extending along the moving direction of the sliding door 1, provides a sliding track for the sliding door 1 to support and guide its sliding motion. The guide rail 2 is provided with a groove 8 extending along the moving direction of the sliding door 1 to accommodate and guide the pulleys 9 of the sliding door 1.

[0040] The support structure includes a support member 3 or an outer casing 4, and is divided into the following two embodiments depending on the different types of support structures.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Supporting structures, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an arched support member 3 spans the inner side of the guide rail 2. The support member 3 is made of stainless steel to enhance corrosion resistance and structural strength. Both ends of the support member 3 are fixed to the inner wall of the guide rail 2. Specifically, the ends of the support member 3 are not additionally fixed, but are pressed and fixed by pressing against the inner wall of the guide rail 2.

[0043] An adjusting element 5 is provided, positioned perpendicular to the moving direction of the sliding door 1, and is adjustablely connected to the support structure. The adjusting element 5 tensions the support element 3 by pressing against the inner wall of the guide rail 2, providing upward support force to the guide rail 2. Specifically, the adjusting element 5 is a bolt. The adjusting element 5 is connected to the support structure via a threaded connection, allowing adjustment in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the sliding door 1. This adjustment direction addresses the potential sagging tendency of the sliding door 1, providing necessary support force to the guide rail 2 and correcting its sagging. The support element 3 has at least one pair of first threaded holes in its center. The adjusting element 5 passes through these first threaded holes and presses against the inner wall of the guide rail 2 to provide support force. The first threaded holes are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the center of the support element 3, and the arch height of the support element 3 matches the height of the inner cavity of the guide rail 2. The entire adjustment process is simple to operate and easy to implement.

[0044] In this embodiment, for aluminum material exteriors (such as aluminum profile guide rail 2), when the customer prefers this design, a support member 3 is used, spanning the inner side of the guide rail 2. This support member 3 does not require complex fixed connections at both ends; stable installation can be achieved solely through the clamping force of the inner wall of the guide rail 2, simplifying the installation process. A first threaded hole in the middle of the support member 3 allows an adjusting member 5 (such as a bolt) to pass through and press against the inner wall of the guide rail 2, providing support as needed, preventing the guide rail 2 from sagging, while maintaining convenient and efficient adjustment.

[0045] In this embodiment, the symmetrical distribution of the first threaded holes in the middle of the support member 3 enhances the force balance of the support member 3, allowing the adjusting member 5 to distribute the support force more evenly during installation and adjustment. Simultaneously, the matching of the arch height of the support member 3 with the inner cavity height of the guide rail 2 ensures that the support member 3 can abut against the inner side of the guide rail 2, allowing the support member 3 to be tensioned to provide upward support force to the guide rail 2.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] Supporting structures, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the supporting structure consists of an outer casing 4 and a fixing block 6. The outer casing 4 covers the outside of the guide rail 2, forming a gap 7 between it and the guide rail 2. The outer casing 4 is made of stainless steel to enhance corrosion resistance and structural strength. Both ends of the outer casing 4 are fixed to the outside of the guide rail 2. Specifically, both ends of the outer casing 4 are fixed to the outside of the guide rail 2 via fixing blocks 6. The fixing blocks 6 are located between the two ends of the guide rail 2 along the moving direction of the sliding door 1 and the outer casing 4, so that a gap 7 is formed between the middle of the outer casing 4 and the guide rail 2. In this embodiment, the fixing block 6 is a pad, and the adjusting member 5 passes through the guide rail 2 and the fixing block 6 and is fixed to the outer casing 4. The pad serves to fix both ends of the outer casing 4, ensuring that a gap 7 is formed between the outer casing 4 and the guide rail 2.

[0048] An adjusting member 5 is provided perpendicular to the moving direction of the sliding door 1 and is adjustablely connected to the support structure. The adjusting member 5 changes the gap 7 by stretching the outer casing 4, causing the outer casing 4 to deform and tighten, generating an upward pulling force to correct the sagging of the guide rail 2. Specifically, the adjusting member 5 is a bolt. The adjusting member 5 is connected to the support structure via a threaded connection, allowing adjustment in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the sliding door 1. This adjustment direction targets the potential sagging tendency of the sliding door 1, providing necessary support force to the guide rail 2 and correcting its sagging. The outer casing 4 has at least one pair of second threaded holes in its middle, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the middle portion of the outer casing 4. The adjusting member 5 passes through the guide rail 2 and connects to the second threaded holes. Tightening the adjusting member 5 causes the outer casing 4 to pull the guide rail 2 upward. This simplifies the adjustment process, ensuring that the adjusting member 5 can directly act on the guide rail 2, transmitting an upward pulling force to correct the sagging of the guide rail 2. The second threaded holes are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the middle part of the outer casing 4 to ensure that the adjusting part 5 can apply tension evenly to the outer casing 4 when tightening.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the customer prefers a stainless steel exterior (steel-clad aluminum structure guide rail 2), a stainless steel outer casing 4 is used as the support structure. The two ends of the outer casing 4 are firmly connected to the outside of the guide rail 2 by the fixing block 6, creating an adjustable gap 7 between the middle of the outer casing 4 and the guide rail 2. This allows the adjusting member 5 to stretch the outer casing 4, causing it to deform and tighten, thereby generating an upward pulling force and correcting the sagging phenomenon of the guide rail 2.

[0050] In both embodiments described above, the device provides stable support or tension to the guide rail 2 through the combination of the built-in arched support 3 or the outer casing 4 with the guide rail 2, and the application of the adjustable adjusting member 5 in the direction perpendicular to the sliding door 1. Specifically, when using the arched support 3, its two ends are pressed and fixed by the inner wall of the guide rail 2, and the adjusting member 5 applies an upward support force by pressing against the inner wall of the guide rail 2. This design is inspired by the arched support structure of bridges, preventing the guide rail 2 from sagging. When using the outer casing 4, its two ends are fixed to the outer side of the guide rail 2, and a gap 7 is formed between the outer casing 4 and the guide rail 2 in the middle. The adjusting member 5 generates an upward tension by stretching the outer casing 4. This design draws on the principle of bridge cable structure, also achieving the purpose of correcting the sagging of the guide rail 2.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] A sliding door shower enclosure employs the aforementioned anti-sagging adjustment device for the guide rail 2. The sliding door 1 includes a door body and rollers 9. The main body of the shower door is typically made of glass. The rollers 9 are mounted on the top of the door body and cooperate with the grooves 8 of the guide rail 2 to achieve the sliding of the shower door. The rollers 9 are usually made of wear-resistant materials to reduce friction and wear. This adjustment device can be flexibly adapted to different materials and structural characteristics of the guide rail 2 (such as aluminum profiles or steel-clad aluminum structures), and corrects the sagging phenomenon of the guide rail 2 through the adjusting element 5, ensuring the smooth operation and stability of the sliding door 1.
