Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shower room technology, and more specifically, to a quick-install pulley and a shower room. Background Technology

[0002] A shower enclosure is a separate space for bathing, usually enclosed by glass. 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] Quick-install shower enclosure rollers are components used for sliding doors or doors in shower enclosures. They primarily support and guide the sliding movement of the door. Existing roller structures generally include a mounting base and a fixing base. The roller assembly is mounted on the mounting base, and mounting holes are usually pre-drilled on the glass door for mounting the rollers. The fixing base, mounting base, and glass door are then connected and secured. In practical use, existing structures typically require bolts to connect the mounting base and fixing base. This process requires tools to tighten the bolts to ensure a tight connection, which is inconvenient and time-consuming for installation and disassembly. Furthermore, this structure often exposes the fasteners, affecting the overall aesthetics. Summary of the Invention

[0024] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0025] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection. 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 in the figure, this utility model discloses a quick-install pulley, including a mounting base 1 and a positioning bracket 2 respectively disposed on both sides of a shower room glass 21. One end of the mounting base 1 is provided with a roller 3, and the other end is provided with a connecting shaft 4 for passing through a pre-set mounting hole on the glass 21. A positioning part 5 is provided at the end of the connecting shaft 4 passing through the mounting hole. Correspondingly, a locking groove 6 is provided on the positioning bracket 2. When the connecting shaft 4 passes through the mounting hole, the positioning bracket 2 is used to abut against the side of the glass 21 away from the mounting base 1, and the locking groove 6 is used to engage with the positioning part 5, thereby fixing the mounting base 1, the positioning bracket 2, and the glass 21 together, and clamping the glass 21 between the mounting base 1 and the positioning bracket 2. Furthermore, the end of the positioning bracket 2 near the roller 3 is inserted into the mounting base 1 for positioning, further improving the stability of the locking structure between the mounting base 1 and the positioning bracket 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, as a preferred structural form, the positioning part 5 is a T-shaped connecting shaft 4 located at one end of the connecting shaft 4 that passes through the mounting hole. The positioning bracket 2 has a T-shaped clamping groove 6 extending upward from its bottom on the side near the glass 21. During installation, the positioning bracket 2 is slid down against the glass 21. After sliding down to a certain displacement, the T-shaped connecting shaft 4 begins to slide into the clamping groove 6 until the upper end face of the T-shaped connecting shaft 4 and the clamping groove 6 abut and limit the connection. In this structure, the T-shaped limiting structure can not only provide vertical connection and positioning, but also achieve the clamping and positioning of the mounting base 1 and the positioning bracket 2 without any fasteners. Furthermore, it can also limit the connection in the thickness direction of the glass 21, preventing the clamping structure from disengaging in the horizontal direction and ensuring the stability of the clamping structure.

[0029] In this embodiment, both the mounting base 1 and the connecting shaft 4 are plastic parts. The connecting shaft 4 is integrally formed on the side wall of the mounting base 1 away from the roller 3. A positioning shaft 9 is integrally formed on the end of the connecting shaft 4 away from the mounting base 1. The diameter of the positioning shaft 9 is smaller than that of the connecting shaft 4. The middle part of the positioning shaft 9 is provided with a threaded hole extending to the connecting shaft 4. A positioning bolt 10 is fitted in the threaded hole. The inner wall of the bolt head of the positioning bolt 10 is close to the outer end face of the positioning shaft 9. The bolt head and the positioning shaft 9 form a T-shaped connecting shaft 4. Positioning protrusions 7 are formed on the lower half of the outer wall of the positioning shaft 9, which are distributed radially to the left and right. Positioning grooves 8 are provided on both sides of the mounting groove 6 for the two positioning protrusions 7 to engage respectively. In this structure, two positioning protrusions 7 are also provided at the lower end of the connecting shaft 4. After the positioning base 2 moves from top to bottom to the set position, the two positioning protrusions 7 are respectively engaged in the two positioning grooves 8, which serves as a vertical limit and prevents the positioning base 2 from moving upward and disengaging. The distance between the outer walls of the two positioning protrusions 7 is slightly greater than the distance between the bottom walls of the two positioning grooves 8. Since the positioning protrusions 7 of the connecting shaft 4 are all plastic parts, during installation, the two positioning protrusions 7 will be subjected to an inward squeezing force, causing them to deform slightly inward elastically. When they are fitted into the positioning grooves 8, the two positioning protrusions 7 have an outward expanding force, which can enhance the locking force between the positioning protrusions 7 and the positioning grooves 8.

[0030] In addition, in the above structure, a metal nut is pre-embedded in the center of the connecting shaft 4 and a through hole is provided in the center of the positioning shaft 9, extending to the position of the metal nut. When the positioning bolt 10 is connected, the bolt head extends into the through hole until it is connected and fixed with the metal nut. The metal nut eliminates the need to machine threaded holes inside the positioning shaft 9 and the connecting shaft 4, reducing the machining difficulty. The metal nut also increases the stability of the connection structure.

[0031] In the above structure, the positioning shaft 9, which is made of plastic and integrally formed with the mounting base 1, is easy to process, reduces weight, and ensures an aesthetically pleasing appearance. In addition, to increase structural strength, a positioning bolt 10 is added. The threaded part of the positioning bolt 10 extends towards the connecting shaft 4 to act as a structural skeleton and increase strength. The flat bolt head part directly forms a T-shaped connecting shaft 4 with the positioning shaft 9. That is, the part that engages with the positioning card 2 is mainly the bolt head part made of metal, which ensures vertical positioning stability and horizontal locking to prevent disengagement.

[0032] In another embodiment, the outer wall of the connecting shaft 4 away from the mounting base 1 is provided with an annular groove, and the annular groove and the free end of the connecting shaft 4 form a T-shaped connecting shaft 4; the lower half of the connecting shaft 4 is provided with positioning protrusions 7 distributed radially to the left and right in the annular groove. In this structure, the two positioning protrusions 7 have a certain elasticity, that is, the distance between the two positioning protrusions 7 can be elastically adjusted. The two side walls of the mounting groove 6 are provided with positioning grooves 8 for the two positioning protrusions 7 to cooperate with each other.

[0033] In this embodiment, the top of the mounting base 1 is provided with a positioning insertion hole 11, and the upper end of the positioning bracket 2 is provided with a horizontal connecting plate 12. The lower surface of the horizontal connecting plate 12 near the mounting base 1 is provided with a positioning pin 13 for insertion and engagement with the positioning insertion hole 11. During installation, when the positioning bracket 2 and the connecting shaft 4 are vertically engaged from top to bottom to a certain position, the positioning pin 13 begins to engage with the positioning insertion hole 11. When the positioning bracket 2 moves downward to the set position, the positioning pin 13 is also fully inserted and engaged in the positioning insertion hole 11, further improving the stability of the engagement structure.

[0034] In addition, since the lower end of the mounting slot 6 extends all the way to the lower end of the positioning bracket 2, in order to ensure the aesthetic appearance of the installation of the pulley and the glass 21, a decorative cover 14 for sealing the lower opening of the mounting slot 6 is also connected to the positioning bracket 2.

[0035] In this embodiment, more specifically, the decorative cover 14 has openings on both the side near the mounting base 1 and the top to form a receiving groove 15, and the lower end of the positioning bracket is slidably fitted into the receiving groove 15 vertically. Preferably, after the decorative cover 14 is installed, the upper end of the body extends to be flush with the upper surface of the positioning bracket 2, and the side of the body near the glass 21 is also flush with the side wall of the positioning bracket 2, thereby effectively improving the aesthetic appearance.

[0036] Furthermore, to ensure the secure engagement of the decorative cover 14 and the positioning bracket 2, positioning guards 16 extending towards the positioning bracket 2 are provided on both sides of the opening end of the receiving groove 15. A first anti-slip portion 17 is provided on the outer side wall of the positioning guard 16. Positioning steps 18 are provided on both sides of the positioning bracket 2 for engaging with the two positioning guards 16, and second anti-slip portions 19 are provided on the side walls of the two positioning steps 18 for engaging with the first anti-slip portions 17. In this embodiment, the first anti-slip portion 17 is an arc-shaped groove, and the second anti-slip portion 19 is an arc-shaped protrusion. Of course, in other embodiments, the positions of the arc-shaped groove and the arc-shaped protrusion can be interchanged.

[0037] In this embodiment, a recessed mounting groove is provided on the side of the mounting base 1 near the glass 21, and a buffer pad 20 is embedded in the mounting groove. Multiple elastic protrusions are provided on the outer wall of the buffer pad 20. In this way, when the mounting base 1 and the positioning bracket 2 are set on both sides of the glass 21, the glass 21 can be better clamped and positioned, and the elastic protrusions can also play an anti-slip role.
