Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, and more specifically, to a stainless steel shower rod. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional shower rods are mostly made of aluminum or copper. Aluminum is popular because it can be extruded into complex cross-sections, but its strength is insufficient and its surface hardness is low. Whether electroplated or sandblasted, its surface is easily scratched, which degrades its texture and is not conducive to long-term use. Copper shower rods are heavy and expensive, making them less competitive in the market. Therefore, more and more shower rods are being made of stainless steel. However, stainless steel has high strength and hardness, which cannot be extruded, resulting in limited shapes for stainless steel shower rods and restricting the shape of the socket, which is not conducive to the structural design of both the shower rod and the socket. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model discloses a stainless steel shower rod, which aims to improve the problem of the monotonous shape of existing stainless steel shower rods.
[0004] The present invention adopts the following solution:
[0005] A stainless steel shower rod includes an outer tube and a groove plate. The outer tube has at least one opening extending along its length, and the two sides of the opening are bent to form a first welded portion. The groove plate is fitted onto the opening and has a second welded portion corresponding to the first welded portion. The second welded portion is fitted and fixed to the first welded portion by welding, thereby forming a sliding groove on the outer tube for a socket to slide.
[0006] As a further improvement, the first welded part includes the side wall of the outer tube and a baffle that bends inward along the side wall. The groove plate has an opening that aligns with the opening. The side wall of the groove plate fits against the side wall of the outer tube, and the open end face of the groove plate fits against the baffle.
[0007] As a further improvement, multiple weld points are formed by resistance spot welding at even intervals along the length direction of the middle position between the sidewall of the groove plate and the sidewall of the outer tube.
[0008] As a further improvement, the baffle is configured to be perpendicular to the side wall of the outer tube.
[0009] As a further improvement, the open end face of the groove plate is fixed to the baffle by resistance spot welding.
[0010] As a further improvement, the opening of the groove plate is aligned with the opening, and the second welded part is formed by bending inward along both sides of the opening.
[0011] As a further improvement, the sidewall of the groove plate is spaced apart from the sidewall of the outer tube, the first welding part is a rolled edge bent inward along the opening, the rolled edge includes at least two layers of spaced and overlapping baffles, the second welding part is attached to the inner baffle and forms multiple evenly spaced weld points by resistance spot welding.
[0012] As a further improvement, the cross-sectional shape of the first welded part is U-shaped.
[0013] As a further improvement, both the corner of the groove plate and the corner of the outer tube are provided with clearance grooves on the inner side of the bend.
[0014] As a further improvement, the cross-sectional shape of the groove formed by fixing the groove plate and the outer tube is dovetail-shaped or T-shaped.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:
[0016] 1. The outer tube is bent to form an opening, a groove plate is fitted into the opening, and the second welded part on the groove plate is welded and fixed to the first welded part on the outer tube, thereby forming a sliding groove on the outer tube for the socket to slide. The groove plate can be bent into different shapes as needed to form sliding grooves, thus enriching the shapes of the stainless steel shower rod to adapt to sockets of different structures, making the structural and aesthetic designs of the stainless steel shower rod more diverse.
[0017] 2. Multiple weld points are formed at even intervals along the length of the middle position between the side wall of the trough plate and the side wall of the outer tube by resistance spot welding. This ensures uniform welding between the trough plate and the side wall of the outer tube, guarantees the reliability of the weld, and allows the trough plate to be subjected to balanced stress during use, thus ensuring the strength and lifespan of the shower rod.
[0018] 3. The outer tube sidewall and the groove plate are spaced apart, and the welding contact surface is the inner baffle, which can avoid the weld point from affecting the outer tube surface, thereby improving the yield rate of the shower rod and ensuring the quality of the shower rod.

[0032] Combination Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides a stainless steel shower rod, including an outer tube 1 and a groove plate 2. The outer tube 1 has at least one opening 11 extending along its length. First welded portions 12 are formed by bending the two sides of the opening 11. The groove plate 2 is fitted onto the opening 11 and forms a second welded portion 21 corresponding to the first welded portion 12. The second welded portion 21 is fitted into the first welded portion 12 and fixed by welding, thereby forming a sliding groove 3 on the outer tube 1 for a socket to slide. Both the outer tube 1 and the groove plate 2 are made of bent stainless steel sheet. The outer tube 1 is bent into a rectangular shape with the opening 11, and the groove plate 2 is a semi-enclosed rectangle, used to cooperate with the opening 11 to form an inwardly recessed sliding groove 3. Further, the cross-sectional shape of the sliding groove 3 formed by the groove plate 2 and the outer tube 1 is dovetail-shaped or T-shaped. The sliding portion on the socket is configured to resemble the cross-sectional shape of the sliding groove 3. The sliding portion fits into the sliding groove 3 and can slide along the length direction of the sliding groove 3 under the constraint of the sliding groove 3.
[0033] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the outer tube 1 is bent to form an opening 11, a groove plate 2 is fitted at the opening 11, and the second welding part 21 on the groove plate 2 is welded and fixed to the first welding part 12 on the outer tube 1, thereby forming a sliding groove 3 on the outer tube 1 for the socket to slide. The shape of the groove plate 2 can be bent as needed to form sliding grooves 3 of different shapes, thus enriching the shape of the stainless steel shower rod to adapt to sockets of different structures, making the structural and appearance design of the stainless steel shower rod more diverse.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the first welding section 12 includes a sidewall of the outer tube 1 and a baffle 121 bent inward along the sidewall. The groove plate 2 has an opening 22 aligned with the opening 11. The sidewall of the groove plate 2 is fitted to the sidewall of the outer tube 1, and the opening end face 221 of the groove plate 2 is fitted to the baffle 121. Exemplarily, multiple weld points 4 are formed at uniform intervals along the length direction of the middle position between the sidewall of the groove plate 2 and the sidewall of the outer tube 1 by resistance spot welding. Resistance spot welding is highly efficient, and the welding process does not require welding rods, welding wires, or other materials, thus reducing energy waste. The welding process produces no smoke or harmful substances, resulting in good environmental performance. (Refer to...) Figure 2The length of the channel plate 2 is the same as that of the outer tube 1, and it is aligned with both ends of the outer tube 1. Welding points 4 are evenly spaced along the length direction, with a spacing of 20-30cm, to ensure uniform welding between the channel plate 2 and the side wall of the outer tube 1, guaranteeing the reliability of the weld and ensuring balanced stress on the channel plate 2 during use, thus ensuring the strength and lifespan of the shower rod. Furthermore, the baffle 121 is set perpendicular to the side wall of the outer tube 1, reducing bending steps and improving production efficiency. The open end face 221 of the channel plate 2 is fixed to the baffle 121 by resistance spot welding. It is easy to understand that both the side wall of the channel plate 2 and the open end face 221 are fixed by resistance spot welding, further ensuring a reliable weld. It should be noted that the bending technology of stainless steel plates and the resistance spot welding technology are existing technologies and will not be elaborated upon here.
[0035] In another embodiment, the opening 22 of the groove plate 2 is aligned with the opening 11, and the second welding part 21 is bent inward along both sides of the opening 22 to increase the contact area between the second welding part 21 and the first welding part 12 and ensure the welding effect.
[0036] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the sidewall of the groove plate 2 is spaced apart from the sidewall of the outer tube 1. The first welding part 12 is a rolled edge bent inward along the opening 11, which includes at least two layers of spaced and overlapping baffles 121. The second welding part 21 is attached to the inner baffle 122 and forms multiple evenly spaced weld points 4 by resistance spot welding. The sidewall of the outer tube 1 is spaced apart from the groove plate 2, and the welding contact surface is the inner baffle 122. That is, the outer surface of the outer tube 1 will not be welded to the second welding part 21 to avoid the weld points 4 affecting the surface of the outer tube 1, thereby improving the yield rate of the shower rod and ensuring the quality of the shower rod. Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the first welding part 12 is U-shaped. The outer baffle 123 is spaced apart from the inner baffle 122, which can ensure the appearance quality of the outer baffle 123.
[0037] Reference Figure 5 In other embodiments, both the corner of the slot plate 2 and the corner of the outer tube 1 are provided with a relief groove 23 on the inner side of the bend to reduce the thickness at the corner, facilitate bending the corner, and thus ensure the bending effect.
[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
