Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, and in particular to a shower room door. Background Technology

[0002] Modern small-apartment bathrooms urgently require space-efficient design. A combined layout (integrating shower and toilet areas) can save space and improve efficiency through functional integration. Traditional partitioned designs cause spatial fragmentation due to redundant partitions, resulting in low space utilization. A combined layout needs to quickly form a waterproof barrier during showering, maintain open passage when not showering, and reduce hard-to-clean areas to lower cleaning costs. However, current technology relies on fixed-width partition doors, whose inherent design contradictions make it difficult to balance dynamic waterproofing and efficient passage requirements, creating a technological bottleneck.

[0003] In existing mixed-use layouts, the shower area and toilet area are often separated by a partition door of a fixed width (600-800mm), but this method has significant technical limitations. Under dynamic shower conditions (water pressure 0.05-0.1MPa), a standard door width can only block 65%-70% of splashing water, and the measured splash rate in the toilet area is still as high as 23%-35%. If the door width is simply increased to 1000mm to improve the water-blocking effect (the splash rate can be reduced to 12%), the width of the passage obstacle area will increase to 300mm, forcing users to turn sideways to avoid the partition and increasing the probability of physical collisions. Utility Model Content

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to facilitate a clearer understanding of the technical concept claimed by the present invention. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit the present invention.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, a shower room door in this embodiment of the present invention includes a fixed door panel 100, a first vertical frame 200, a second vertical frame 300, and a movable door panel 400. In practice, the fixed door panel 100 may consist of a frame installed inside the shower room and a waterproof door panel installed on the frame (the overall width may be 600-800mm), providing a certain degree of water splash prevention in the shower area; the movable door panel 400 may be a waterproof door panel (the width may be 300mm), its function being to combine with the fixed door panel 100 to extend the blocking width, thereby improving the water splash prevention performance in the shower area.

[0033] The first vertical frame 200 has a first connecting groove 210 that faces left and is vertically connected to the fixed door panel 100. The front side of the first vertical frame 200 has an arc-shaped concave surface 220. In practice, the first connecting groove 210 can be connected to the right edge of the fixed door panel 100 by adhesive bonding or by adding an adhesive strip, thus fixing the first vertical frame 200 to the fixed door panel 100. The second vertical frame 300 has an arc-shaped convex surface 320 on its rear side that matches the arc-shaped concave surface 220. The front side of the second vertical frame 300 has a second connecting groove 310 for connecting to one edge of the movable door panel 400. Similarly, the second connecting groove 310 can be connected to the rear edge of the movable door panel 400 by adhesive bonding or by adding an adhesive strip, thus fixing the second vertical frame 300 to the movable door panel 400.

[0034] The upper and lower ends of the first vertical frame 200 are connected to the upper and lower ends of the second vertical frame 300 respectively. The second vertical frame 300 is located in front of the first vertical frame 200 and the arc convex surface 320 abuts against the arc concave surface 220, so that the second vertical frame 300 can rotate relative to the first vertical frame 200. The axis of rotation is the central axis of the arc concave surface 220. In fact, by adding a connector to connect the upper and lower ends of the first vertical frame 200 and the upper and lower ends of the second vertical frame 300 respectively, the arc convex surface 320 abuts against the arc concave surface 220, ensuring that the second vertical frame 300 can rotate relative to the first vertical frame 200, thereby driving the movable door panel 400 to swing. Furthermore, when the arc convex surface 320 is placed inside the arc concave surface 220, it has a certain water-blocking ability, ensuring the water-blocking performance when the movable door panel 400 and the fixed door panel 100 are combined.

[0035] In a shower room, the shower door of this utility model embodiment is implemented. When a user is showering in the shower area, the movable door panel 400 can be tilted outward to nearly 180° to ensure the water-blocking effect when the movable door panel 400 and the fixed door panel 100 are combined. When no user is showering in the shower area, the movable door panel 400 can be tilted inward to nearly 0°, so that the movable door panel 400 and the fixed door panel 100 are folded, ensuring the width of the passage area so that the user does not need to turn sideways to avoid it, reducing the probability of physical collision.

[0036] It should be noted that, since the second vertical frame 300 can drive the movable door to rotate, this utility model includes an appendix. Figures 1 to 3 The orientations shown illustrate the relative positions of the second vertical frame 300 and the movable door panel 400 to better understand the technical solution of this utility model. Furthermore, the widths of the fixed door panel 100 and the movable door panel 400 can be adjusted according to the actual room size and user needs, and are not limited to the limitations of the embodiments in this utility model.

[0037] In this embodiment of the utility model, a shower room door is provided by a fixed door panel 100, a first vertical frame 200, a second vertical frame 300, a movable door panel 400, a first connecting groove 210, an arc concave surface 220, an arc convex surface 320, and a second connecting groove 310 working together to allow the movable door panel 400 to swing inward and outward relative to the fixed door panel 100. This ensures water resistance when the user is showering in the shower area and reduces the risk of collision when no user is showering in the shower area.

[0038] Furthermore, a lower rotating shaft 500 is engaged with the lower end of the second vertical frame 300, and a lower end cover 600 is engaged with the lower end of the first vertical frame 200. The lower end cover 600 has a lower boss 610 on its upper front side, and the lower rotating shaft 500 is rotatably connected to the lower boss 610. In effect, the lower end cover 600 and the lower rotating shaft 500 cooperate to connect the lower end of the second vertical frame 300 to the lower end of the first vertical frame 200, and the lower rotating shaft 500 and the lower boss 610 allow the second vertical frame 300 to rotate relative to the first vertical frame 200. Furthermore, the upper end of the second vertical frame 300 is preferably engaged with an upper rotating shaft 700, and the upper rotating shaft 700 has an upper connecting shaft 710 on its upper side; the upper end of the first vertical frame 200 is engaged with an upper end cover 800, and the lower front part of the upper end cover 800 has an upper boss 810, and the lower side of the upper boss 810 has an upper connecting cavity 811 for the upper connecting shaft 710 to extend into and rotatably connect with the upper connecting shaft 710. Similarly, the upper end cover 800 and the upper rotating shaft 700 cooperate to connect the upper end of the second vertical frame 300 and the upper end of the first vertical frame 200, and under the action of the upper connecting shaft 710 and the upper connecting cavity 811, the second vertical frame 300 can be rotatably connected relative to the first vertical frame 200.

[0039] It is worth mentioning that the lower rotating shaft 500 preferably has a lower connecting shaft 510 on its lower side. The lower connecting shaft 510 has two positioning protrusions 511 evenly distributed around the circumference of its axis. The upper side of the lower boss 610 has a lower connecting cavity 611 into which the lower connecting shaft 510 extends and rotatably connects with the lower connecting shaft 510. The lower connecting cavity 611 has two positioning grooves 612 that match the positioning protrusions 511. It should be noted that the positioning grooves 612 are fixedly disposed in the lower connecting cavity 611. Figure 3 The structure of the positioning groove 612 in the lower connecting cavity 611 is moved out of the lower connecting cavity 611 to better represent the structure of the positioning groove 612. In actual use, when the two positioning protrusions 511 are correspondingly engaged in the two positioning grooves 612, the two positioning protrusions 511 and the two positioning grooves 612 cooperate to prevent the lower connecting shaft 510 from rotating relative to the lower connecting cavity. At this time, the angle of the movable door panel 400 relative to the fixed door panel 100 can be locked to a certain extent, ensuring the lockability of the movable door panel 400. When the positioning protrusion 511 is located outside the positioning groove 612, the positioning protrusion 511 abuts against the upper side outside the positioning groove 612, and the movable door panel 400 can adjust its angle relative to the fixed door panel 100 within a certain range, ensuring the adjustability of the movable door panel 400.

[0040] Specifically, the positioning protrusion 511 is inclined outward from bottom to top on both sides below the eyelid, so that the positioning protrusion 511 is a trapezoid with a shorter bottom and a longer top when flattened. Correspondingly, the positioning groove 612 matches the positioning protrusion 511, so that when the positioning protrusion 511 rotates into and out of the positioning groove 612, the two sides of the positioning protrusion 511 cooperate with the two sides of the positioning groove 612 to play a guiding role, making it easier for the positioning protrusion 511 to enter or leave the positioning groove 612.

[0041] Specifically, the distance between the upper and lower sides of the positioning protrusion 511 is preferably less than the depth of the upper connecting cavity 811. In conjunction with the rotational connection between the upper connecting shaft 710 and the upper connecting cavity 811, the upper connecting shaft 710 can be placed inside the upper connecting cavity 811 regardless of whether the lower side of the positioning protrusion 511 abuts against the bottom of the inner groove of the positioning groove 612 or against the upper outer side of the positioning groove 612, thus ensuring the rotational connection between the upper connecting shaft 710 and the upper connecting cavity 811.

[0042] It should be noted that the first vertical frame 200 preferably has a connecting through hole 230 that passes through the upper and lower ends of the first vertical frame 200. The upper end cover 800 has an upper countersunk through hole 820 corresponding to the connecting through hole 230 and is equipped with an upper connecting bolt 830 for threaded connection between the upper countersunk through hole 820 and the connecting through hole 230. The lower end cover 600 has a lower countersunk through hole 620 corresponding to the connecting through hole 230 and is equipped with a lower connecting bolt 630 for threaded connection between the lower countersunk through hole 620 and the connecting through hole 230. In fact, the upper connecting bolt 830 and the lower connecting bolt 630 can be self-tapping screws. During installation, the internal threads of the connecting through hole 230 are machined while the screws are being installed. Finally, the upper end cover 800 is pressed onto the upper end of the first vertical frame 200 and the lower end cover 600 is pressed onto the lower end of the second vertical frame 300, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the upper end cover 800 and the lower end cover 600 and the first vertical frame 200. With the cooperation of the upper rotating shaft 700 and the lower rotating shaft 500, the assembly and disassembly of the first vertical frame 200 and the second vertical frame 300 are made more convenient.

[0043] Specifically, the outer side of the upper connecting shaft 710 is provided with a plurality of upper guide tabs 720 extending into the upper end of the second vertical frame 300. When the upper guide tabs extend into the upper opening of the second vertical frame 300 and abut against the inner wall of the opening, the upper connecting shaft 710 and the second vertical frame 300 are engaged. The outer side of the lower connecting shaft 510 is provided with a plurality of lower guide tabs 520 extending into the lower end of the second vertical frame 300. When the lower guide tabs extend into the lower opening of the second vertical frame 300 and abut against the inner wall of the opening, the lower connecting shaft 510 and the second vertical frame 300 are engaged.

[0044] More specifically, a reinforcing vertical plate 330 is preferably provided inside the second vertical frame 300 on the rear side of the second connecting groove 310, an upper notch 730 with a width greater than the thickness of the reinforcing vertical plate 330 is provided on the rear side of the upper rotating shaft 700, and a lower notch 530 with a width greater than the thickness of the reinforcing vertical plate 330 is provided on the rear side of the lower rotating shaft 500. Since the second vertical frame 300 serves to support the movable panel and connect the first vertical frame 200, the strength of the second vertical frame 300 can be improved by reinforcing the vertical plate 330, reducing the risk of deformation of the second vertical frame 300. Furthermore, under the action of the upper notch 730, the upper rotating shaft 700 can be more easily retracted, offsetting the reinforcing vertical plate 330 and making it easier for the upper rotating shaft 700 to be inserted into the upper end of the second vertical frame 300. Similarly, under the action of the lower notch 530, the lower rotating shaft 500 can be more easily retracted, offsetting the reinforcing vertical plate 330 and making it easier for the lower rotating shaft 500 to be inserted into the lower end of the second vertical frame 300.

[0045] Furthermore, the first connecting groove 210 preferably has a first serrated surface 211 on both its front and rear sides, and the second connecting groove 310 has a limited number of second serrated surfaces 311 on its left and right sides. When a new mounting strip is added to the first connecting groove 210 and connected to the fixed door panel 100, it can ensure the biting force of the mounting strip on the fixed door panel 100 and prevent the mounting strip from sliding and misaligning with the first connecting groove 210, thus ensuring the connection strength between the first vertical frame 200 and the fixed door panel 100. Similarly, when a new mounting strip is added to the second connecting groove 310 and connected to the movable door panel 400, it can ensure the biting force of the mounting strip on the movable door panel 400 and prevent the mounting strip from sliding and misaligning with the second connecting groove 310, thus ensuring the connection strength between the second vertical frame 300 and the movable door panel 400.

[0046] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
