Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Modern homes have increasingly higher requirements for bathroom facilities. Nowadays, people usually install a shower room in the bathroom when decorating their homes. A shower room door is installed outside the shower room to isolate the water flow and prevent water from seeping out during the shower.

[0003] Most shower doors currently on the market consist of a door frame and two or more sliding doors. Multiple anti-collision blocks are installed vertically in the grooves of the door frame so that the elasticity of the anti-collision blocks can absorb impact energy during the closing process, thereby reducing the risk of door damage. However, the anti-collision blocks only play a protective role, and there will still be gaps between the door and the door frame. The sealing performance is poor, and water can easily seep through these gaps, resulting in water leakage. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, or at least partially solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a waterproof structure.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a waterproof structure, the waterproof structure comprising:

[0006] A frame member having intersecting first and second directions, the frame member having a groove extending along the first direction, the groove having a mounting strip provided therein, so that the groove is divided into two slots for accommodating a door body;

[0007] A waterproof component includes a main body and two water-blocking parts. The main body is connected to the mounting strip, and the two water-blocking parts are connected to the end of the main body away from the frame member and extend along the second direction to seal the gap between the mounting strip and the door body. The groove and the water-blocking parts form a passage for the door body to pass through.

[0008] In one embodiment, the water-blocking part is located outside the door's moving path, and the gap between the water-blocking part and the door is less than 1 mm.

[0009] In one embodiment, the main body has a locking groove for inserting into the mounting strip.

[0010] In one embodiment, the mounting strip includes a fixing part and a mounting part. The fixing part has a first end and a second end opposite to each other in the first direction. The first end of the fixing part is connected to the bottom surface of the groove, and the second end of the fixing part is connected to the mounting part. The mounting part is used to insert into the engaging groove so that the waterproof component can be detachably connected to the mounting strip.

[0011] In one embodiment, the width of the engaging groove gradually increases from the opening to the bottom, and the maximum width of the engaging groove is equal to the width of the mounting portion.

[0012] In one embodiment, the length of the mounting portion is greater than the depth of the engaging groove.

[0013] In one embodiment, the mounting portion is connected to the middle of the fixing portion, and a chamfered area is formed on the end face of the mounting portion away from the fixing portion.

[0014] In one embodiment, the frame member includes a base plate and two side plates. The base plate is used to connect to a wall. The two side plates are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the base plate and form the groove with the base plate. The mounting strip is connected to the base plate.

[0015] Secondly, this application also provides a shower room door, including two door bodies and two sets of waterproof structures as described in the above embodiments, wherein the two sets of waterproof structures are located on opposite sides of the two door bodies.

[0016] Thirdly, this application also provides a shower enclosure, including an upper guide rail, a lower guide rail, and a shower enclosure door as described in the above embodiments. The two door bodies are disposed between the upper guide rail and the lower guide rail, and the two sets of waterproof structures are respectively located on opposite sides of the two door bodies. The two sets of waterproof structures, the upper guide rail, and the lower guide rail form a shower enclosure frame.

[0017] The technical solutions provided in this application have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0018] By setting an installation strip in the groove, the groove is divided into two slots. Then, the main body of the waterproof component is connected to the installation strip. At this time, the two water-blocking parts of the waterproof component are located on the outside of the two slots, which can seal the gap between the installation strip and the door body. The water-blocking parts and the slots form a channel for the door body to pass through. As the door body passes through the channel, the water splashing out of the slots is blocked by the water-blocking parts, so that the water only drips in the first direction and does not splash out of the slots and cause seepage. This helps to improve the waterproof performance. In addition, the waterproof component is stored in the groove, making it more aesthetically pleasing. Attached Figure Description

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] In the following description, specific details such as particular system structures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 This application provides a waterproof structure 10, which includes a frame member 11 and a waterproof member 13. The frame member 11 has intersecting first direction X and second direction Y. It should be noted that the first direction X and second direction Y are hypothetical for ease of describing the positional relationship between the components. Specifically, the frame member 11 can be used as a reference. The first direction X specifically refers to the height direction of the frame member 11 (refer to...). Figure 1The X direction in the middle), the second direction Y specifically refers to the length direction of the frame piece 11 (refer to the X direction). Figure 1 Y direction in ).

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Specifically, the frame member 11 has a groove 11a extending along a first direction X, and an installation strip 12 is provided in the groove 11a to divide the groove 11a into two slots A for accommodating the door body 20. The waterproof member 13 includes a main body 131 and two water-blocking parts 132. The main body 131 is connected to the installation strip 12, and the two water-blocking parts 132 are symmetrically connected to the end of the main body 131 away from the frame member 11 and extend along a second direction Y to block the gap between the installation strip and the door body 20. A channel for the door body 20 to pass through is formed between the slot A and the water-blocking parts 132.

[0035] For example, since glass is a brittle material, direct contact with the frame member 11 may cause stress concentration due to daily vibrations (such as opening and closing doors) or accidental collisions, leading to cracking or chipping. Therefore, in the prior art, anti-collision blocks are installed in the groove 11a to absorb impact energy and disperse pressure, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the door 20. However, a gap L still exists between the door 20 and the groove 11a. During the impact of the door 20 with the anti-collision block, water flowing into the groove 11a may splash out due to the impact, potentially leaking out of the shower door. Therefore, in this embodiment, an installation strip 12 is installed in the groove 11a of the frame member 11, and a waterproof component 13 is connected to the installation strip 12. The water-blocking portion 132 of the waterproof component 13 blocks water in the groove A, reducing water seepage from the groove A during the impact of the door 20 with the anti-collision block.

[0036] In other words, the waterproof structure 10 of this application divides the groove 11a into two slots A by setting an installation strip 12 in the groove 11a. Then, the main body 131 of the waterproof component 13 is connected to the installation strip 12. At this time, the two water-blocking parts 132 of the waterproof component 13 are located on the outside of the two slots A respectively, thereby sealing the gap between the installation strip 12 and the door body 20. The water-blocking parts 132 and the slots A form a channel for the door body 20 to pass through. So that when the door body passes through the channel, the water splashing out of the slots A is blocked by the water-blocking parts 132, so that the water only drips along the first direction X and does not splash out of the slots A and cause water seepage. This is beneficial to improving the waterproof performance. In addition, the waterproof component 13 is housed in the groove 11a, making the appearance more beautiful.

[0037] For example, the frame member 11 can be made of metal, such as aluminum alloy or titanium alloy, to make the frame member 11 lightweight, durable, rust-resistant, and with a longer service life. Of course, in other embodiments, the frame member 11 can also be made of other materials, such as wood.

[0038] Furthermore, the main body 131 and the water-blocking part 132 can be either a single piece or separate pieces. That is, the main body 131 and the water-blocking part 132 can be integrally molded to form the waterproof component 13, or the main body 131 and the water-blocking part 132 can be formed as two separate components, i.e., the main body 131 and the water-blocking part 132 are molded separately and then connected to form the waterproof component 13. Specifically, in this embodiment, the main body 131 and the water-blocking part 132 are integrally molded to form the waterproof component 13. This eliminates the need for a connection between the main body 131 and the water-blocking part 132, preventing the water-blocking part 132 from detaching under repeated water flow impacts.

[0039] In one embodiment, the water-blocking part 132 is located outside the moving path of the door body 20, so that the water-blocking part 132 can block the water flow in the slot A without interfering with the sliding of the door body 20, ensuring the normal opening or closing of the door body 20. That is to say, a gap L is reserved between the water-blocking part 132 and the door body 20 (refer to...). Figure 6 This is to prevent the water-blocking strip from contacting the surface of the door 20 and generating noise. The gap L between the water-blocking part 132 and the door 20 is less than 1mm. It should be noted that setting the gap L between the water-blocking part 132 and the door 20 to less than 1mm is to maximize the shielding surface of the groove A while ensuring that it does not contact the door 20 and generate noise, thus achieving a better waterproofing effect.

[0040] In one embodiment, the main body 131 has a locking groove 131a for engaging with the mounting strip 12. That is, by providing the locking groove 131a on the mounting part 122, when fixing the waterproof component 13 to the mounting strip 12, simply aligning the locking groove 131a with the mounting strip 12 and engaging the mounting strip 12 into the locking groove 131a completes the installation of the waterproof component 13. This design is simple, easy to install and remove, and facilitates quick replacement of the waterproof component 13.

[0041] In one embodiment, the mounting strip 12 includes a fixing part 121 and a mounting part 122. The fixing part 121 has a first end 121a and a second end 121b opposite to each other in a first direction X. The first end 121a of the fixing part 121 is connected to the bottom surface of the groove 11a, and the second end 121b of the fixing part 121 is connected to the mounting part 122. The mounting part 122 is used to be inserted into the engaging groove 131a so that the waterproof component 13 can be detachably connected to the mounting strip 12.

[0042] In one embodiment, the width of the engaging groove 131a gradually increases from the opening to the bottom, and the maximum width of the engaging groove 131a is equal to the width of the mounting part 122. In practical applications, the waterproof component 13 can be made of rubber strips or other elastic materials with a certain degree of hardness. Based on this, the width of the engaging groove 131a gradually increases from the opening to the bottom, so that the opening of the engaging groove 131a will be squeezed and open outward during the process of the mounting part 122 engaging the engaging part. After the mounting part 122 is fully inserted into the engaging groove 131a, the two walls of the engaging groove 131a will tightly wrap the mounting part 122 inward due to their own elasticity, thereby making the waterproof component 13 firmly installed on the mounting strip 12.

[0043] In one embodiment, the length of the mounting portion 122 is greater than the depth of the engaging groove 131a. This ensures that the portion of the mounting portion 122 that engages in the engaging groove 131a is relatively long, so that the waterproof component 13 is securely connected to the mounting strip 12, preventing it from falling off if the portion of the mounting portion 122 that engages in the engaging groove 131a is too short.

[0044] In one embodiment, the mounting portion 122 is connected to the middle of the fixing portion 121, and a chamfered area is formed on the end face of the mounting portion 122 away from the fixing portion 121. That is, by chamfering the end face of the mounting portion 122 away from the fixing portion 121, the wear caused by sharp edges to the main body portion 131 can be reduced, which helps to extend the service life of the waterproof component 13.

[0045] In one embodiment, the frame member 11 includes a base plate 111 and two side plates 112. The base plate 111 is used to connect to the wall, and the two side plates 112 are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the base plate 111, forming the groove 11a with the base plate 111. The mounting strip 12 is connected to the base plate 111. It should be noted that the two side plates 112 are perpendicularly connected to the opposite sides of the base plate 111 to better clamp the door 20.

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This application also provides a shower room door, which includes two door bodies 20 and two sets of waterproof structures 10 as described in the above embodiments. The two sets of waterproof structures 10 are respectively located on opposite sides of the two door bodies 20. That is, by setting two sets of waterproof structures 10 on opposite sides of the two door bodies 20, the shower room door allows the water-blocking part 132 in the waterproof structure 10 to block the water splashing out of the groove A during the passage of the two door bodies 20, so that the water drips along the first direction X and does not splash out of the groove A and cause water seepage. In addition, the waterproof structure 10 in this embodiment can refer to the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 This application also provides a shower room, which includes an upper guide rail 30, a lower guide rail 40, and a shower room door as described in the above embodiment. Two door bodies 20 are disposed between the upper guide rail 30 and the lower guide rail 40. Two sets of waterproof structures 10 are respectively located on opposite sides of the two door bodies 20, and the two sets of waterproof structures 10, the upper guide rail 30, and the lower guide rail 40 form a shower room frame.

[0048] In other words, the shower enclosure improves the waterproof performance by providing waterproof structures 10 on both sides of the door 20. The waterproof structure 10 includes a frame member 11 and a waterproof member 13. The main body 131 of the waterproof member 13 is installed in the groove 11a of the frame member 11, and the water-blocking part 132 of the waterproof member 13 is located outside the groove A. When the door 20 is pushed and pulled and hits the anti-collision block in the groove A, the water in the groove A will be blocked by the water-blocking part 132, so that the water flow will only drip along the first direction X and will not splash out of the groove A and cause water seepage.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 In one embodiment, a handle 50 is also included, which is disposed on the surface of the door body 20. Thus, by providing a handle 50 on the surface of the door body 20, the process of pushing and pulling the door body 20 by the user becomes more convenient.

[0050] It is understood that the above embodiments only illustrate preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model patent. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
