Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shower room technology, and more specifically, to a wall tie rod and a shower room. Background Technology

[0002] A shower enclosure is a bathroom facility used for bathing. It prevents water from splashing during showering, separates wet and dry areas, and makes the bathroom cleaner. With rising living standards, shower enclosures are becoming increasingly minimalist, especially in some European and American countries. Shower enclosures are typically located in the corner of the bathroom, utilizing the existing bathroom wall and simply adding a fixed glass panel and a movable glass panel to create a complete shower enclosure.

[0003] The side of the glass against the wall needs to be fixed to the wall using a wall-connecting profile. To increase structural strength, a tie rod is usually added between the top of the glass and the wall on the other side. In existing technology, one end of the tie rod is connected to the wall via a wall-connecting base, and the other end has a glass clamp with a glass locking slot for direct mounting to the top of the glass. The tie rod and the wall-connecting base are connected using fasteners, and the wall-connecting base is fixed to the wall using expansion bolts. In current tie rod structures, the heads of these fasteners and expansion bolts are usually exposed, severely affecting the overall aesthetics of the shower enclosure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome at least one of the defects of the above-mentioned related technologies and provide a wall tie rod and shower room that are simple in structure, easy to install and aesthetically pleasing.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is to provide a wall tie rod, including a tie rod body. One end of the tie rod body is provided with a fixing seat for connecting to a wall. The fixing seat is provided with a first slot. One end of the tie rod body is inserted into the first slot. The fixing seat is also provided with a clearance groove. A first screw for fixing the fixing seat and the tie rod body passes through the side wall of the clearance groove. The bottom wall of the first slot and / or the clearance groove is provided with a mounting hole for wall tie bolts to pass through. A decorative cover is embedded in the open end of the clearance groove. The other end of the tie rod body is detachably provided with a glass clamp for clamping glass.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the wall tie rod of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0007] The tie rod structure of this utility model has a fixing seat for fixing to the wall. It not only has a first slot for inserting the tie rod body, but also an adjacent clearance groove. The first screw passes through the wall between the clearance groove and the first slot, realizing the connection and fixation between the fixing seat and the tie rod body. The bolts that fix the fixing seat to the wall are all set at the bottom of the first slot and / or the clearance groove. After installation, the opening end of the clearance groove is sealed with a decorative cover to completely cover all fasteners, effectively improving the aesthetics of the tie rod structure. During installation, first connect the fixing seat to the wall, then insert one end of the tie rod body into the first slot, install the first screw from the clearance groove, and finally cover it with the decorative cover.

[0008] As an improvement, the opening direction of the clearance groove is aligned with that of the first slot, and the first screw passes through the partition between the clearance groove and the first slot. The fixing base has an inclined surface extending from the opening end of the clearance groove towards the bottom, so that the side of the clearance groove away from the partition forms an operating window for tools to be inserted to operate the first screw. In the above improved structure, the inclined surface on the fixing base at the opening end of the clearance groove ensures that the side of the clearance groove away from the first slot is not obstructed by a side wall, allowing installers to directly insert screwdrivers or other tools into the clearance groove to operate the first screw, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the fixing base and the pull rod body.

[0009] Furthermore, the decorative cover includes a cover plate flush with the inclined surface, and support ribs are formed on both sides of the cover plate in the width direction. The two support ribs are inserted into the clearance groove and respectively abut against the two side walls of the clearance groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the glass clamp includes a clamping head seat, one end of which has a second slot, and the other end of the pull rod body is inserted into the second slot. The other end of the clamping head seat has a clamping groove for clamping the glass.

[0011] As an improvement, a second screw communicating with the second slot is provided on the side wall of the chuck seat, and the inner end of the second screw abuts against the side wall of the pull rod body.

[0012] In a further improvement, a U-shaped elastic washer is fitted within the clamping groove, and the elastic washer is snapped into the top of the glass. A third screw extends into the clamping groove through the bottom of the second slot, and the inner end of the third screw abuts against the side wall of the elastic washer, thereby driving the two side plates of the elastic washer to clamp and limit their position on both sides of the top of the glass. In the above improved structure, the elastic washer fitted within the clamping groove and the side drive via the third screw enhance the stability of the glass clamp after it is engaged with the glass.

[0013] In a further improvement, the pull rod body is a hollow tube arranged parallel to the glass, and a connecting rod perpendicular to the end of the pull rod body away from the fixing base is provided, with the glass clamp connected to the end of the connecting rod. In the above improved structure, the pull rod body uses a hollow tube, which reduces weight and improves the appearance.

[0014] Preferably, the pull rod body and the connecting rod are integrally formed. This integral forming structure makes the pull rod body more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing, and also facilitates processing.

[0015] On the other hand, this utility model also provides a shower room, including glass and a wall frame. The wall frame is an integrally injection-molded plastic frame. A slot for mounting the glass is provided on one side of the plastic frame. A plurality of countersunk holes arranged vertically are provided at the bottom of the slot. An expansion screw is inserted into each countersunk hole, and the head of the expansion screw is hidden in the countersunk hole. It also includes the aforementioned wall tie rod.

[0016] In the shower room structure of this utility model, an integral plastic frame is used as the wall frame, and the glass is embedded in the slot without the need for additional sealing gaskets. Compared with the traditional aluminum profile shell with PVC inner pad structure, it is simpler and can reduce the weight of the overall structure. In addition, the shower room structure is reinforced by the aforementioned tie rod structure, and the fasteners of the tie rod structure are hidden, making it aesthetically pleasing.

[0017] Other improvements and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the detailed description that follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objectives and other advantages of this invention can be realized and obtained through the structures particularly pointed out in the description and drawings. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] See Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model embodiment discloses a wall tie rod, including a tie rod body 1. One end of the tie rod body 1 is provided with a fixing seat 2 for connecting to the wall. The fixing seat 2 is provided with a first slot 3. One end of the tie rod body 1 is inserted into the first slot 3. The fixing seat 2 is also provided with a clearance groove 4. A first screw 5 for fixing the fixing seat 2 and the tie rod body 1 passes through the side wall of the clearance groove 4. The bottom wall of the first slot 3 and / or the clearance groove 4 is provided with an installation hole 6 for wall tie bolts to pass through. The open end of the clearance groove 4 is fitted with a decorative cover 7 for covering the first screw 5 and the wall tie screw. This structure realizes the concealment of fasteners and effectively improves aesthetics. In addition, the other end of the tie rod body 1 is detachably provided with a glass clamp for clamping glass 17.

[0028] More specifically, in this embodiment, see Appendix Figure 2 The opening direction of the clearance groove 4 and the first slot 3 are the same, and they are arranged side by side. The first screw 5 passes through the partition 9 between the clearance groove 4 and the first slot 3. The fixing base 2 is provided with an inclined surface 8 extending from the opening end of the clearance groove 4 towards the bottom, so that the side of the clearance groove 4 away from the partition 9 forms an operating window for a tool to be inserted to operate the first screw 5.

[0029] In addition, the decorative cover 7 in this embodiment is a rubber structure and includes a cover plate 701 that is flush with the inclined surface 8. Supporting ribs 702 are formed on both sides of the cover plate 701 in the width direction. The two supporting ribs 702 are inserted into the clearance groove 4 and abut against the two side walls of the clearance groove 4 respectively, which can ensure the stability of the decorative cover 7 after installation. Furthermore, the outer peripheral wall of the cover plate 701 structure is completely fitted with the inner peripheral wall of the clearance groove 4 to ensure sealing performance and prevent shower water from entering the clearance groove 4.

[0030] On the other hand, see Appendix Figure 3 In this embodiment, the glass clamp includes a clamping head 10, which has a rectangular structure. A second slot 11 is provided at one end of the clamping head 10 along its length. The other end of the pull rod body 1 is inserted into the second slot 11. A second screw 13 is provided on the side wall of the clamping head 10, which communicates with the second slot 11. The inner end of the second screw 13 is pressed against the side wall of the pull rod body 1, ensuring that the pull rod body 1 and the clamping head 10 are stably connected and not easily disengaged. The other end of the clamping head 10 is provided with a clamping groove 12 for clamping the glass 17. During installation, the clamping groove 12 is clamped from top to bottom onto the top of the glass 17.

[0031] In addition, to further ensure the stability of the clamping of the chuck 10 and the glass 17, a U-shaped elastic washer 14 is installed in the clamping groove 12. During installation, the elastic washer 14 is clamped onto the top of the glass 17. A third screw 15 extending into the clamping groove 12 is inserted through the bottom of the second slot 11, and the inner end of the third screw 15 abuts against the side wall of the elastic washer 14 to drive the two side plates of the elastic washer 14 to clamp and limit them on both sides of the top of the glass 17. In this structure, preferably, the elastic washer 14 is a PVC washer. After it is clamped onto the top of the glass 17, the driving force of the third screw 15 makes the two side plates of the elastic washer 14 stably clamped on the two side walls of the top of the glass 17, thus ensuring a firm connection between the glass clamp and the glass 17. In addition, the PVC material can also protect the outer surface of the glass from damage during clamping and fixing.

[0032] In this embodiment, the pull rod body 1 is a hollow tube arranged parallel to the glass 17, and the cross-section of the hollow tube is rectangular. A connecting rod 16 perpendicular to the pull rod body 1 is provided at the end of the pull rod body 1 away from the fixing seat 2. The clamp seat 10 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 16 away from the pull plate body. Preferably, the pull rod body 1 and the connecting rod 16 are integrally formed, simplifying the processing technology and reducing costs.

[0033] In the above structure, the connection between the tie rod body 1 and the fixing seat 2 and the clamp seat 10 is all limited by the tightening of screws. No connection holes need to be provided on the tie plate body so that the wall tie plate rod of this application can be interchanged on the left and right. That is, no matter whether the fixed glass 17 is set on the left or the right, the wall tie rod of this application can be used universally. During installation, only the direction of the tie rod body 1 needs to be changed.

[0034] On the other hand, see Appendix Figure 4 This application also discloses a shower room, including glass 17 and wall frame 18, wherein the wall frame 18 is an integrally injection molded plastic frame, and a slot for embedding glass 17 is provided on one side of the plastic frame. Preferably, the wall frame 18 is a PVC frame, so that after glass 17 is inserted into the slot, no additional sealing material is needed, simplifying the installation structure. Moreover, PVC frames have low processing costs and low weight.

[0035] More specifically, in this embodiment, multiple vertically arranged countersunk holes are provided at the bottom of the slot, and expansion screws 19 are inserted into each countersunk hole, with the heads of the expansion screws 19 hidden within the countersunk holes. This ensures that the glass 17 will not collide with the heads of the expansion screws 19 when it is installed in the slot, thus protecting the outer surface of the glass 17 from damage. Furthermore, the shower enclosure of this application also includes the aforementioned wall tie rod structure, which increases the stability of the glass 17's fixation to the wall and enhances the overall aesthetics.
